Good morning, Good morning to you, Tony morning, day morning. Everyone wheels down, wheels down, chucks in and breaks a set.

We've got our little bottles of water side by side, and I've gone off the fruit and nut.

I just sort of chare with you know, so too much fiber barney banana, bunny banana.

That was he only because it's it's quicker and easier to eat during the cereal. Yeah, and some of the listeners said, you know, some of that fruit really good, but it's just a lot of sugar.

It is.

It's intense because all the water's removed from the fruit, but all the sugar's still there.

I love the apple and I love those. Yeah.

You know what's my favorite? Dried mango?

Ohwards, gorgeous.

It in Cans. There's a gentleman up at Rusty's Market in Cans and he drives his own and costs a fortune, but all it is is dried mango and a little bit of lime juice to stop it from going black. And you can just eat it and eat it and eat it, and you know about it the next day. But it doesn't matter.

He does the job a Rusty's. Rusty's Market, bet I remember it.

We'll talk about some of those zero planes that we're doing the job over the last couple of days. So we'll get to that in just a moment. But he's also a highly regarded vet.

Good morning, Tony, Nathan and Jay first of Paul good More have good morning and happy birthday to Kira for her birthday this morning.

Yes it is, and many happy returns Caira.

And she's a regular call out. And knowpe Nathan's herder, You're furder. She's called you several times.

And if you stick around, Jim, you might even hear her in a very short.

While, the great Kira having a birthday.

I'm sure she will be on because she said she would. But I was telling Tony last night about the unbelievable story of the kitten that got The owners were looking for was having a nap in the washing machine. They had clothes in it, and they put it through the watch type six months old Persian type walking kitten, and the vets that treated us said it was like a miracle and they had more than mine lives.

Yes, it's it's always I didn't but it always reminds me. You know, in the Warner Brothers cartoons, there's there's the cat, and when they opened the washing machine door, it sort of floats out like a big, a big fluff ball. But yes, it is a very lucky kitten. I presume it. Well, a front loader washer doesn't have all that much water, so it might have survived that. If it was a top loader, I think it would have been drowned because of course they filled right up. But yeah, you do

Great story, Gym. Always good to chat. Thank you, Tiffy.

Morning morning darling, Maki Kashi Australia JJ and and.

Happy birthday, Caira.

Yes, have your birthday, Kira.

Yes, a little update of my darling puppy. He's sleeping all the time as usual. He growses with his food all day because you know, he's he's old and he's an old bag.

And oh well, I graze all day to Tiffy, I think that's half of my problem.

Nothing wrong with it.

No, no, well he doesn't have any he doesn't really have any teeth anymore.

Oh that's more like Tony than me.

But yes, but he just sleeps.

He just sleeps and wakes up, goes the loo grazer sleeps like because all that. But today is a week until he turns eleven next week on the first of July.

There you go, a very good innings.

You've looked after him well over the years.

He's like two krelos and I never thought he'd live as long as this. Because Darling said, the boy who I missed like hell, he died at six.

Yes, yep, no, your frattle.

Boys still going to eleven nearly.

Well, it's a bit like us, isn't it. You know, some people sadly pass very early and some people live to one hundred. So he's got good genes plus a good upbringing, and so you've you've done the right thing, and he's still hanging in there. And next week we can celebrate his eleventh birthday.

We will.

Lenny morning, Good morning, Tony Nathan. I was going to look air craft, but after listening to Cora really goes with her birthday and everything, and I wish you were a very.

Happy birthday, Cora. I hope you have a great time. I think what if the Saint coulda football because I know you followed Saint Kilda, or if they get them two to do the pre match address like one.

Of the mons.

A great idea.

That's good. Sorry, I think it's a great idea.

I'm saying mccrue's mum got up there and everyone is expecting Craig mccrad do the pre match address and cruise. Mum got up there and she fired him up. And I'll tell you what this woman, I know how long she's been battling this cancer. She's a fighter and I think she'd be the perfect person who will do a pre match address to the same football club.

Well, someone's got to do something to fire them up. They're not doing much firing at the minute, that's for surely. Whatever it takes, what I got to try something out of the square. I think it's a good idea.

It's a very good suggestion, and thank you for making it. One double three six nine three your calls. Come and join us the other side. By the way, if you happen to have a sick pet, well, the great Nathan cautious here. If there's a little puppy or a cat, one of your much loved animals at home that needs a bit of help, support and tender loving care, now would be a really good time you'll jump on board

Now, No, that's not what I said at all.

What did you say?

No, I was just going to pass a comment about your microphone, because now instead of hanging down, you are now No, what's the word I can use.

I feel like I feel like we've got a twist my head around.

Yes, I think they're gonna have to hang a chair upside down from the ceiling so that it works properly.

Well, it is, and it just feels like a It's one of those things we'll get used to, but it's in a slightly different position. So after forty five.

Years, Yes, all of a sudden you have to change.

Somebody thought of doing it.

Yes, really.

Anyway, so I'll get used to it. But it feels really really odd. It feels as if I'm talking down to the down to the table instead of across to the audience.

Yes, they do need to stick a phone, but we don't have them anymore. Do we wake a phone book underneath it to raise it a little bit?

Well I would, but it stuck. Yes, it's a bit weird. Anyway, we'll get used to it. Keith the Painesville good morning.

Yeah, Johnnie, I promise I want to pissed you.

No, not at all. It's good now. I don't know whether you know Nathan Kosh do you Keith.

Hello, Keith, Look you know what Nathan, I did speak to you because my son passed away a few months ago and I inherited.

His yes, helpie, Yes, yes, he gave me.

Some advice, but unfortunately we had to put him down week sorry. Yeah, and he was riddled with arthritis. Yes, and he went in the back legs and he couldn't get.

Yeah, that's not no, no miss all the time.

Yeah, it looks just a beautiful dog.

Yeah, chest was he was the link with yes.

Of course, but you know, unfortunately we have to look after the dog's interest and if it reached a point where he can't keep going, you know, you made the hardest decision, but the right decision, of course it is. So it's another another blow.

And of course, well great bread, Greg did the Greg Evans did the eulogy from us and any rate Tonys back to ing today at length? Is he's going to.

He's like you, guys, really he wants to talk.

To me and so he's going to give you a call. You would like to have a jack you worked at Did you work at a k or somewhere with him?

Did you work for a little bit at the old Free a k with John Blackman back in those days. But it's going back to where for a little bit of time he's.

Great, honey, and and he's actually he goes away and with the time they got all yeah. But anyway, he's going to ring you. And he said, Keith, he call you're my ambassador.

You know, that's very that's very kind.

You've been close friends for a long time. And he's excited. So he's going to give you a ring. And he said, if he wants to have a chat on radio about the old days, I'm more than happy.

He's a good man. Keith, thank you for passing that to missus. John.

By the way, he told me you're a great lag too.

Well.

He doesn't know you very well.

He might be he might be getting mixed up with another McManus, Rove. He probably he probably thought you were talking about Rove. All right, Good on, good on, Keithy.

Thanks thanks Keith.

In that lovely when you think about those times, we talk about the program Yesterday's Amazing Times in Melbourne or three x y and the great lineup that they had. Many of the audience grew up listening into the seventies and seventies was such an amazing time for the concerts and the sort of incredible things that they were doing, of which Greg was such an important part.

He was and of course a whole generation knew him as the host of Perfect Match.

Did your mate Lee Simon worked at DA x y two.

He did, He was on air and by the time I got to know Lee, he was the program director at Triple M, and from program director he went to be the head of sport there because of course Triple M long time football is he did and retired from their only fairly recently, really, and we catch up every now and again. Absolutely lovely guy and gave me a start.

Yeah, very much so. The Survivor's lunch that I went to on Saturday in Hotels Beautiful is great gathering and so many people, some of whom you would know, many of which you may not know, but they said, how lovely it is when you're on the program with me for a couple of hours during the week.

That's very kind of people to say. I mean, I love being here. It's worth getting up in the middle of the night to come and have a chat with everybody and with you.

So it's the middle of the.

Night for you, but for me it's early morning.

Yeah, that's right. My middle of the night is about eleven thirty. Just brided lunch st Justin speaking of elite athletes. Are you familiar with Justin's work? Indeed? Justin?

Good morning, Good morning guys.

How are we we?

Well, yeah, just quickly, I'm just going to make the short and sleep.

Do that.

The airplane that was ina that what sort of dreamline was that?

As a seven eight to seven eight hundred.

And is that equivalent to the Quantus Streamliner or not.

Yeah, Look, it's the most common version of them, and they've been flying around for ten years without any issue, and so now it's now so again till now Yeah, So there's certainly I believe they've recovered the data recorders and they've recovered the voice recorder, and they're starting to put the pieces together. But there's certainly been lots of speculation and lots of theories, but hopefully we'll have at

And so those answers obviously will be forthcoming in the fullness of time, as I used to say, and that becomes important. It's part of the process we go through in a dreadful situation like this.

Absolutely. Look, when it comes to investigations.

There are three parts to it.

There's the what happened. Obviously, we need to know what happened. Then we have a look at why did it happen, and let's say, if it turns out to be I'm only speculating, I'm not saying, but let's say it's human related, then they dig a bit deeper and say, well, why they look at their rosters, they look at their training, they look at everything, and you know where they set up because they had inadequate training, or because they've been working so many hours that they were fatigued and might

Thank you for that feedback. I think most of us were intrigued just in the last forty eight hours with his b two bomber I was certainly not Formidia. I'm sure people in aviation were definitely familiar. But what an intriguing piece of equipment. Just quite an extraordinary looking thing. What do you know about it that we don't know?

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Yeah, of course to sec but what an extraordinary looking thing it is. Would those, to the best of your knowledge, those pilotle pilots presumably flying that doing that SORTI was really some hours? Yeah, they wouldn't have been having a break? Well how would that be managed?

No? Would they would do like we do on longer flights that you can do what's called controlled rest, and that is you just sit in the seat, you can close your eyes for a little while.

You just tell the other pilot.

That you'd like to have a little bit of a ziz, turn the radios down so you don't get the noise. And then the aim is you only do it for a short period twenty or thirty minutes, because if you let yourself go for longer, you get into the deeper part of the sleep cycle, and then when you wake up you get what's called sleep inertia. So you're a little bit out of it for a while, but if you do that twenty or thirty minute little nap, that's just enough for a recharge and to keep them going.

And presumably at that level then, Nathan, those people are trained within a centime.

Absolutely. You know, I don't know any of those involved in anything like that, but I was fortunate enough at the Avalon Air Show this year to be talking to some of the people who had come out from the States with the Raptor and all the other aircraft that they had, and what an amazing bunch of people, plus some of our RWAF people as well, extraordinary bunch of people, and quite a number of them that retire out of the Air Force and up in the airlines. And I

Murray's in mentone, Kevin join us, Murray, good morning.

Good morning, Nathan, is there. Chris Noon's still flying with Quata.

There is indeed, oh God Newnham Nenham.

Yes, yes, many years ago I was on a flight because I went to school with him, and I was invited up to the cockpit, yes, which you can't do now. And I actually landed at Tullermarine in the cockpit, which was absolutely phenomenal.

Yes, we used to be able to do that.

I was fortunate enough back in the days before September eleven to do the same. And I think one of the really sad things, and we talk about this all the time, is that the youngsters don't get the opportunity to do that and maybe have a look and say, hey, I'd love to do what you guys are doing.

So it is.

It's a real tragedy what happened after September eleven, of course for many, many reasons. But yeah, Chris is still going. In fact, I waved at him about two days ago. He was about to do a walk around of an aircraft and I saw him there. So yeah, which was the paint company that keeps on keeping on? That's no, that was the other one.

We don't talk about it. Yeah, which one was? That's a very good question.

Was it Burger Paints with John Mellion who used to do the ads. I think keep on keeping on. But yeah, Chris, he had an incredible medical story and was within seconds of losing his life. And the fact that he happened to be in hospital when it happened. They shot him up to surgery and saved his life and his back flying again. So incredible story. He is a lovely guy, very very experienced, and yes I will next time I see him, I will pass on your regards.

All right, thank you very much.

Are you're welcome?

Mark, Good on you, Murray, Thank you for the calls, plenty of calls. Wedding. We'll get to it in just a moment. David and Karen will come to you next one double three six nine three if you'd like to be part of it, one double three six nine three. Keep the text coming. There's an interesting one from a Phil. I've got your message there, Phil, Thank you. Out of the comfort zone, says Maggie. Well, not really, just a different different style of microphone. So we will come to Yes, we'll come to.

You'll come to grips with it.

I'll come to grips with it. Well, that's right, Karen pets my blue tongues. Blue tongue. We've spoken to about blue tongue lizards in the past.

I don't believe we have.

How have they now in hibernation? I wish I could be yes, thank you. Don't quite understand that, Tony. Could you take the birthday girl for a whirl or a waltz in the rain? Lots of texts coming through, keep them coming one, double, three, six nine three. So I've lowered the seat feel so I'm now sitting down. Stop loving. I'm now sitting down on the floor. So I'm doing my best Mike Schulberger, Hello.

And welcome to a Cararen a fair and because they haven't changed my microphone, I'm towering.

You're terring, actually tearing above you. You've got to if you can have a look onlines, very very funny. I'm sitting down.

Just well, they won't be able to because the camera is probably pointed right.

I feel like I mean kidder got sitting on one of those little chairs at.

Kidney Good Morning class, Karen, good morning, Hello, Hi Karen, Hi Ken.

I watched a couple of days ago movie on TV and it's crazy aviation engineer and has died previously, and it's course light plans.

Have you seen all lot flight plan?

And just quickly it's just a better aviation engineering flunking GM to America's dead body on the boarders to do it.

It's also had a oh I vaguely I think you have vaguely seen bits and pieces that lasted a couple of minutes. And then I had a choice. I was either going to put my foot through the television or change the channel. So I went with the latter.

We should do a segment. You and I should do a segment. Times you'd like to put your foot through the TV? Yes? How many times we said that?

Absolutely?

Times you would like to put your foot through the TV? Yes.

So unfortunately, Karen, I mean so many of the aviation movies and things are Yeah. For those of us that are in the caper, it just you think no, not not not not, and then they become annoying.

But was it a good story? Yeah, well that's the question. I suppose was it a good story? Karen?

I can only watch it because it's I was really getting bad and I did my tend on the basic rest up in the cargo hole. Yes, she was putting it all all intell and in the plan.

Karen'll got some really bad line there, Karen, you'll have to give us for that happens to your telephone. It's a really bad light in the cargo hall.

Yes, you can't. You can't get into the cargo holds anyway from from the flight Dick. You can get into the in the bigger ones, they can get into the electronics area, but you can't just wander into the cargo holds. So that, amongst many things, is what yeah what as a as a friend of mine who loves to mix his metaphor says, that really gets up my goat.

That's exactly right, Thank you, David mount Waverly Morning, gentlemen.

Hello, Hey Davis.

That was a Darwin was great.

Oh.

I was in Darwin last week too for a day. Oh my god. The weather, oh spectacular, fabulous.

Twenty two on both days, on the Saturday and the Sunday.

Magnimment. Yes, that's not what I rang for.

That's not why I rang.

It's not why I rang.

Yes, I don't mean much. I was just reading a news article from the New York Times and they were saying that the guys had a.

Toilet, a micro wave.

Oh, yes, they'd have to.

Yeah, you'd have to have a little bit of some facilities there because it's a very long way. So yeah, certainly they have the basics, a bit of a galley that have a coffee maker, I would presume, yeah, and a bed.

Yes, so you really have a snooze.

Yeah, Well it doesn't look as though there's much room in the thing, but I presume that.

Well, there you go.

They have a crew rest as well, so there would be an extra extra pilot in there so that they can take it in turns and they can have a bit of a zizz and then everyone would be back on deck for the mission, I'm sure. And then yeah, on the way back that they could have their turns having a rest as well.

Yeah, exactly have it. That's all I rang up for good. So you two have a great show. Hey, Tony, I can't get through to see on the screen.

Brother.

It's not letting me in.

That I have no something over which I have no control. But you're going to fix it. People talk on ED so people hear what you're saying. Yeah, sorry, sorry, that's talking to me. I have just switched the camera ons aha. I see these two handsome men in the studio. Now, so who's responsible for turning it on normally? Well, it normally automatically goes on, but sometimes it doesn't. And it's taken now fifty two minutes. It's good to get a reminder after you take it.

So the technical issue is at our end unbelievable. So can you please now make it your business. That's straight after the midnight news or ten pm news or eleven thirty news, depending on where people are listening. You just give us a call and let us know if the camera is on.

That's right, we need a background Stralia. We do because because we have people, you know, I like to have people, and sometimes the people overlook these things. So we've been going for over an hour and you've just decided we haven't been on air. Excellent Maggie morning.

Good morning, morning, Megie, Hello Meggie.

Mm hmm.

Look number one.

Number one and number two.

Well I could I could start off with something and say that's not the reason I called for another one, So don't pay me.

No, I won't. So the because the expression is that's not why I called. That's not why I called. You don't need to put the number four on the end of the sentence.

Well, no, no, I'll start off with number one, if you don't mind, go Maggie Lathon. Given the conflict in the Middle East, what would be the preferred current route the carriers, let the shapeline, the kangaroo.

There's always it's a very good question, Maggie, because there's never sort of the one way, and there's always some sort of something going on somewhere. So I believe the current rooting through to Europe is via Afghanistan. And so because everybody's going that way, I happen to notice when reading our bits and pieces before I flew yesterday morning, that yeah, they're adding some extra fuel because there's a lot of congestion over the airspace in Afghanistan and there

So that would be a pretty I mean, there'd be people around the world all talking to each other. Oh, absolutely, there is all talking. Yeah, that's going to be.

Many yes, And the airlines are talking with the equivalent of the Homeland Security and our own people who assess the risk. And there have been times when they felt that the risk is just too great and sadly flights have had to be canceled. But at this stage they've got an alternate routing which keeps them away from all of the conflict. And so yeah, that's the way they're going at the moment.

I'm here, Nathan Kosh is here. It is Australia overnight. More straight up to this wherever you are right across Australia, I'm Tony McManus, Nathan Kosh here. It's a little segment we call Pets and Jets. If you'd like to be part of it, one double three six nine three text keep them coming. It's a really good one there from Geraldine zero four double seven six nine three six nine three.

Now this is a strabul obanized with Tiny McManus.

Very cool kid. Hello there. You might be at five double A in Adelaide. You could be right here with us at three at WM Melbourne, the ACE Radio network across Australia. Our good friends at five double A in Adelaide, I mentioned and six PR in Perth. Hello to you wherever you are for Australia overnight. Jump on board and

Well, look apropos of that, given that we discovered late in the last hour that a certain someone who shall remain aimless had forgotten to turn the camera on. I just want to confirm if the sound is actually on, because it's quite possible that we've been prattling on here for the last hour and a bit and nobody's.

Nobody's, nobody's there, nobody's listening. Is the sound on? Is the sound on? Jay test testing? Hello? Are we on? Yes? We're on? Are you sure? Thank you? Yes? I guess because both Jay and I are a bit scarred. Yesterday morning on the program and the studio went into some sort of I don't know, he just went into a meltdown,

He is unbelievable in this place. He is knows everything, does everything, and is just the most lovely man to boot.

So at one stage he was in this particular studio, underneath this desk in his suit, mind you, and his hat, try to rewire the place. It's just really, he's that good Nathan looking for advice. There is a house on my street. This is a text from Day Morning Day is there's a house on my street that acquired a dog for four weeks or so. So basically it's tied to a tree, no shelter from wind and rain all night. It's halved, its body weight looks terrible. Can't approach the residents.

Well, look, you're doing the right thing. You certainly can't take it upon yourself to go and talk to the people there, and it sounds as though the dog is being mistreated. Apart from continuing with the RSPCA, because they are the organization that has the legal power of entry and so they can go on there and presumably they will seize the dog. But if you're not getting any joy with them, then I think you might need to

Over the years, you've seen animals abused?

Yeah, look, not too many, thankfully, because they're the areas where I've worked. It's generally not the case. But there have definitely been some, and it's awful, and I think,

I got sent There was the morning program back in Perth at that stage was hosted by the real Paul Murray, not the Paul Murray from a sky different Paul Murray format of the West Australian for a long time time host of the morning program at six pur in Perth, and he said, look, can you shoot out. We've had this report about some dogs have been abused. Can you go out and do a report for the program? Which I ultimately did, But I've been thinking about it on

Yeah, and you know we see overseas sort of horror stories and things. But I think sometimes you have to understand that people's understandings of what animals are and how they should be kept are a little bit different to ours. But certainly in this country we look after our animals. We treat them with dignity and we need to make sure that at least their basic needs are met. And if there are people who are not that way inclined, then we need to remove those animals from those people.

I guess in a sense too, we've been overpopulated with the animals, certainly dogs. I would have thought around the world, you get to places like Indonesia, Bali particular, and there's these dogs, random dogs that presumably at some point were pits, randomly walking around well you know, sevenyac to survive.

Yes, not necessarily, because the dogs are different and many cultures regard them differently, and many cultures they're considered unclean and they're just left to roam around and scavenge and do their thing. In places like Bali and the villages, their dogs a bit like watchdogs. Oh so they're a bit like doorbells. So they're there and they they're there to bark, but they're not raised and nurtured and looked after the way that we do with the affection. Yes,

Thank you. The best overnight program in Australia. Should have Nathan on the program more often. Well is here usually every week for a couple of hours. There's such a calm voice, knowledgeable in the extreme. We all thank you.

Thanks mum.

Yes from Sydney.

That's very kind.

Sydney, thank you, thank you for that. Where we're going out late children, Corfield morning.

Good morning.

I've just got a question. I can't understand why when they have people who've got puppies, they tell them what to do, but they don't tell them what not to do. For instance, I was in the supermarket the other day and I saw this guy had this meat roll which you're keeping the fridge, and I asked him if he takes it straight from the fridge and give the to

Yes, look, it's one of those things. If you told people what not to do with their animals, you'd be there for about six months. So when we have a limited time in a consultation, it's probably we have to prioritize and we tell people, you know, what to do things like that. Specifics like you know, warming up the food and not serving it straight out of the fridge.

Unfortunately that they're not in Britain.

Instruction, well, we generally we give handouts, but again depending on the foods and the vast majority of people will feed either canned or dry food. If someone's telling me that they're going to be feeding, you know, canned food and they're only going to give them half, I'll usually say to them, you know, we'll make sure you leave it out before you feed them. The dry food of

How to raise a puppy Rachel. It's a great cool Thank you, great boys, thank you. Recently, the pistoral bug catcher won epistoral bug catcher on the radio station. Not too sure which radio station. Presuably here was a three W. I gave it to a daughter and family and yes, they used to they used it to trap a huntsman.

Very good, they're ok, yeah, yeah they are. You know, all spiders are toxic. They're venomous. Yes, they're all of them, all of them. However, most of them the fangs are so small they can't even penetrate the skin because we have our tough outer coating. So you know, things like Daddy long legs and all the rest of it are still venomous, but they don't cause any problems, and likewise, the huntsman don't cause any problems for us. But I interrupt continue.

Well, the funny part about this is the question is then asked that, when released at the next door neighbors house, what's the likelihood of the little critter finding its way back to our home? No, I don't.

I don't think they're homing. Homing, homing huntsmen. That's difficult to say.

In the morning, we're coming back into your kitchen now.

Yeah, So I think you know, they'll generally if they're if they're plucked somewhere else, they'll try and establish themselves wherever they happen to be. And I don't think you'll find it's not like say, possums, that will return unless you take them far enough away. Then I think with the huntsman, hopefully that it's your neighbor's problem and not yours anymore, and not your families. Were you ever an arachnophobe,

As he was about to walk out, there was this.

Dirty great huntsman above the door of the clinic, and you know we were about to move it on its way?

Was it?

Paul, No, no, no, no, no.

Mike.

Mike Hamilton, Mike Hamilton, Hello, Mike. If you're listening. And so we were about to sort of get the room and sort of push it out the door, and he said, no, no, no, no, I'm doing a story about fear of spiders.

I need it.

So we ran around and found a big jar and put it over the huntsman and it crawled into the jar.

And we're sitting there talking.

He's got this thing in the jar, and there was someone sort of walking into the clinic and I said, quick, sit down, put the jar on your knee, and of course he sort of was onto it in a flash. So he plunks himself down, picks up a magazine, flipping open, having a look at the magazine with his jar with

That your pet?

And I saying, oh, yeah, yeah, very affectionate, you know, it's it's lovely, lovely, great great pets. People don't realize anyway. So this is going on for some time and I'm hiding around the corner, so I called him. I called him into the into the consulting room, and indeed and any comes with it, and we just sort of closed the door and waited, and the person in the waiting room says, are you kidding?

Really?

How do you have a huntsman as a pet? And we were killing ourselves laughing for a little bit of a walk. Yes, it was one of those moments.

There are so many checks here and this is for you, Jay. Can you send this to our great people, the IT team, Tony. We can no longer watch your on the iPad. No longer on the iPad video not support or something good news, guys. I'm actually seeing watching you guys now. So we are connected on this end right threew dot com dot a you as we can. But does my hair look okay? It looks fine? Which one are you just looked across at me. We're on a ten second delay with it too,

Heard you mentioned one of you mentioned about the dogs that just run around everywhere. Well, there's a young girl in the last three years she's looking after them and making sure that they have all the what necessary that they need. I don't know what that means inoculations or what it is, and I'll tell you what. I don't know if people give donations or what happens, but she's

Yeah, there's quite a few that do that.

One of our flight attendants who goes over quite a lot and she goes around their clinics and gets expired

And there's people right around Australia wa Adelaide, here in Melbourne, right across Victoria too that do extraordinary things with those shelters, most of whom are volunteers. Yes, give up the time just to work with those animals so that somehow they survive.

Yes exactly, and they do that just for nothing. No other reason than to look after those animals just for the love of it and to hope that they get a better life. And then you get many of these shelters that now have areas for say elderly dogs that aren't going to be able to and cats that aren't going to be able to be re homed, and they look after them and take care of them for the rest of their lives. So people do some amazing work, and there's all the therapy animals that type of thing.

Years ago, for one of the shelters that they put us all into, like cages, a whole lot of reasonably well known people into cages, and people would come and pay a fee as much as possible to raise to get us out of the shelter. Yes, I was never released. Nobody wanted to pay to get me out.

No, really, it's very sad. Look it's understandable. Months yeah, look it is understandable. But there are some radio announces that are just beyond homing.

Really duty in Mandra, You been to a Mandra.

I haven't been to Mandra.

I lived in Perth for a while, but I didn't get that far. Sadly, Judy and Mandra will come to you next. Wherever you are right across Australia. Could be at five double A in Adelaide, might be the Aceradio network of stations three at w here in Melbourne, where we are of course in six PR in Perth, jump on board one double three six nine three. You'll get through straight away. We won't leave you waiting for too long.

You say, nay, absolutely do not do not, because look, one of the problems is, and it's an absolute bugbear of mine, and people just sort of flick a little bit of food to the dog and then they sit there and they annoy you and they bother you. I was at a dear friend of mine's birthday yesterday and we're all sitting around the table and he's got a veterinary colleague of mine and he's got a very elderly dog, and you know, she's got bit of dementia because she's

Of course.

However, if you do, if you do have some scraps and things and some leftovers, and that's all fine, providing it's the right kind of food. But what you should do is you wait, just put it to the side of the plate, wait till the end of the meal, and then when you're all done, you can go over to the dog's bowl and put it in the bowl

Well, I bought in my new shepherd, who's sleeping just underneath the disk. Here. You want to see yoursel I'm trying just a little bit. There you go. I know it looks she loves it. Yes, I told you not to give her the dried fruit, Judy and Mandra think thank you for waiting.

Judy, Hello, gentle, I love I love the program when you're both together funding along. Yes, I'm an old girl. I've got a Pomeranian. She's she was she is too and she she gets up on my bed when I go to bed, but she turns up and then she stretches out and kicks. Is those somethings she's got a pain or something's body and she's big fleet so it's not flee but I can't. I'm worried. Something wrong with.

That is that the only time she does that.

If she's asleep with me out in the dining room and the chairs, and I'm aware that she kicks. Yeah, No, she doesn't when she's with.

Me or sleep, Yes, So when if she's only doing it when she's asleep, then then dogs do dream and they do twitch and kick and can carry on like some of us that are a bit more mobile when when we're having dreams and things. So if that's the case, then say again.

Sorry, never thought of that.

Yeah, they do dream and you can sometimes see their eyes twitching or you know, under their eyelids, or just other muscles twitching, and they're probably being chased by a sabertooth tiger or something or other. And if they are sort of twitching and kicking out, then that could possibly be it if she's only doing it when she's asleep, if she's otherwise normal and happy, and you don't notice her scratching when she's awake, then it's unlikely to be anything physical.

All right, Now she's haven't.

Been sterilized, yes, and she's just been season now, but she got really good pressed. Do they feel anything they.

Do, Well, it's no hormone. Hormones change, of course, as they're preparing. When when as they're coming into season, they are getting ready to have their pups, so or to be sorry impregnated and then to have pups, so they do get hormonal changes. Definitely. May I ask, are you intending to breed from her? Or you just haven't got around to having a.

Newtube, But she said, kily little dog. She was brought over from Eastern State by a breeder, Yes, and they decided she was too small. So I'm an old, old old lady. I'm ninety five, and so she never gets outside the front door.

Well might I might I suggest that if you, if you can afford it, of course, get her spade because older unspaed females have a much higher incidence of mammary tumors. They can also get infections in the uterus that can be life threatening. And also you have the hassle of

And Judy, your beautiful little puppy, which football team does she barck for? There's only two? See, that's why she's depressed, you Judy, lots of love to everybody in Mandra and call in again soon.

Thank you.

You're more than welcome. We've got the General. Are you familiar with the General?

I'm not familiar with the general?

General? Good morning, Good morning, Good morning, General, Good morning going beautifully General. Thanks morning over there, But morning, how can we help General? What did you want to add to the program this morning? Across Australia.

Tell you very very very very very very interesting story.

Story.

What time did you start today? General, I haven't been Soviet. No, did you go out to lunch at all?

Can't remember? I got memory?

Yeah, okay, so a bit so, a bit of a bit of a bite to eat and then yea, yeah.

I had a bike.

I had a bike.

Yeah, I had a bikes our five hundred in the Port Helen to win creek bike great. Yeah, I had the past time for poor hidden to win creek.

But guess what what happened after that?

I never didn't win.

No, just dump that there because I think there was a rude word that was thrown in there. Generally, it's always a challenge when you're on but I thank you for that in Mitcham, Hello, Bev. A bit of a hard actor follow be It is a little bit. Hello Bev.

Oh, nice to speak to you. I've been worried about David in Israel. He found in.

Yes, we spoke to him quite at length yesterday, Bev, around this time yesterday morning. And he's fine. He's fine, he's well. He like many in the Middle East, including obviously Israel, are a bit concerned about what happens next and the challenges that presents for them as community and family, and where it goes from here. We don't know. Nobody really seems to know. But when we spoke to him on the program yesterday he was fine and he will be listening and he will. Thank you very much for

Oh that's good.

Yes, how are you by?

We're very well, Thank you, Bev. Thank you for asking.

It's lovely. It's always lovely to be here.

It's the highlight of my week, sadly talking with Tony, but.

Sadly, no, no, no, no, it's always lovely.

And to have people calling in and the messages that we get is fantastic. And how's life in Mitcham?

Pretty cold?

Yeah?

Did you get the rain tonight? Did you get the storm? There was a big storm went through parts of Melbourne.

No, it sort of missed us a bit. We've got patches, but yeah, it never see before, you know, heavily, which I need for my.

Yes, which is ironic because of course there's a reservoir in Mitcham where it's well. That was one of the reporting points when we used to fly into us, and it's called Mitcham Reservoir. But the irony is they covered it over and I think it's one of the holding reservoirs, so they pump the water from the main ones outside of Melbourne and then they have these holding reservoirs.

So there was that onees in.

So Yeah, there was the Surrey Dive, there was the big brick factory and the big quarry there, but this was definitely in Mitcham, the Mitcham Reservoir, but they put a roof on it and so no one could find it anymore because everybody's looking for a body of water and so we were all getting lost trying to find our way to western An Airport.

Yeah, there's one in Canterbury Road.

Yes, there's that tower, isn't there And.

I think they've covered that one too.

Yes, it saves a lot of evaporations, so it's a much more efficient use of the water.

But that's a pity of that.

Your garden's not getting the rain, although we had the big drenching a week or two ago that brought all the snow to the mountains as well.

Yeah, do you have much lawn where you are with?

No, it's it's just about dry out man.

Really in the middle of winter.

That's dreadful because I'm on a hill and no, there's not much less.

Really, maybe maybe a little new drog or a little sea soul might help bev.

Yeah, I'd have to have a lot of sea soul.

Are you got a fair sized lawn?

Yeah?

Because I didn't put in garden.

Oh you just got lawn. Yeah, Well, I hope we do. It looks like we're doing in for a bit of rain over the next few days and hopefully hopefully your garden or your lawn will get a much needed drink.

Yeah, because my dog she doesn't min going down there because the paws get in. You know, there's stones and stuff. Oh, yes, yes, because there's no grass.

Oh gosh, that bad. Well, hopefully we do get some rain.

There is.

There's meant to be some cold fronts coming through, so hopefully hopefully that'll solve your problem. We all get it, Yes, exactly.

We do. Be nice to talk to you. Thank you for being part of the program. Look after yourself. We'll talk again soon. Our telephone number one double three six nine three. It's interesting when people about the cold, particularly here in Melbourne and loads of the depths of winter and not everybody loves it. I don't mind the cold, and it's a weird I'm not a fan either.

We're all different. I shared a flat many moons ago with an old school friend of mine, and as soon as he would walk out, have the heating on in the middle of winter, and as soon as he would walk in turn it off. He would turn it off.

I know so as you know, I'm menopausal, so I whipped the gear off asers as I get into that.

I was wondering why you were walking around naked before. But now it all makes sense, Tony.

You said my name didn't read out in the text. It says here, Nathan. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in knowing a children who follow in their parents are careers. I don't know what you've mentioned this before, but no one else in your family has any particular interest in flowing.

No, not my well, my kid's definitely not. I have a son and a daughter, and my son started off doing engineering and decided it wasn't for him. But he has just completed his agricultural degree and is about to start a master's degree in agriculture. So that's his thing. I guess that's what you all do.

Well.

He wants to be a consultant and to have a little property of his own and be on the land that's and to help other people with obviously with the knowledge that he's gained, and do some consulting for farmers and things around the place. My daughter is completely the other way. She's the arty one, and she's just finishing off her double degree in media and communication and design, and she's sort of riding to all the three D design and everything.

And plays the guitar and like almost Eric Kleptones.

During during COVID, she decided that, you know, because she was sitting around and board because she was doing year eleven and twelve during COVID, which was another challenge, but she decided she wanted to learn the guitar, so she did the research and bought an acoustic guitar online and was just doing lessons off YouTube, and then decided she wanted an electric guitar and started to play with that. And then she found herself a teacher and doing online

Well that's not true at all. You're very gifted, very talented in other areas. Her daughter's Number one and two have little or no interest in broadcasting, for example, they've grown up with it all their live, little or no interest. Having said that, number two has a really wonderful and acute, almost wicked sense of humor.

And what's she doing now?

She runs a looks after as she's a practice manager of a medical center and does really well. But right through COVID, did amazing work for the great mister Turner through a flight center, oh yes, and so sustaining that for a long period of time, and then has moved into this practice manager of a center in Perth. The point of that is, it has nothing to do with what I've done for a living yes, and yet other people's family, you know, sons of lawyers, of doctors, or

We have a number of third generation pilots and certainly heritage.

I love the idea of that.

Yeah, and I know definitely at least second generation vets as well. But it's funny. I think it either turns you completely on or completely off. Because my kids grew up with me spending a fair bit of time away and they said, for them, they just hated it. So for them they don't like that lifestyle. They much prefer to have regular hours and say that it doesn't interest them at all.

It might be an interesting topic the other side of those that have children, family grandchildren that have gone into a part of that, I don't know almost the heritage or stayed with, you know, inside the family business area or things that father, mother, grandparents did. One double three six nine three Come and join us Australia overnight, Nathan Cosh. She is here, Tony McManus the other side of Nathan Cosh, Jay working the other side of the glass. It's a

Yeah? Hey you god, Nathan. Hey you know where I live. I live in Guildford, you do? And Benney thirty years and some years ago when I got a here my place, they had worn out the back and then I listened to remember. So yeah, well she's still on.

The radio, Sue McDougall.

Yeah, she said, get rid of all Alawn, get rid of every link and just plant notives. I'll tell you what my life has been. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

Yeah, planting natives. Well, Sue, as you know, just picked up, just picked up. I shouldn't say it like that. Has just been awarded last week in the King's Birthday Awards. I think it was an oam for everything she does. She now looks up. I work with Sue for a long time. I was co hosting the Guarding program with Sue at six PO on a Saturday and a Sunday morning. And she's now responsible for everything that happens at Kings Park.

King's Park, that's right, What an extraordinary park that is, for just.

Doing incredible things at Kings Park.

It's beautiful, it is.

Gorgeous, laz the and so you're happy with the way your plants are all looking.

Ah look my you know Gilford, there's lots of trees whatever, and yeah, yeah, I just put malts on it once a here, I'll get a big trail out of it and put it on. I don't have to weed it. It actually self mulches from the leaves and stuff, and I just dig it into the gardens. And yeah, I don't have to worry about I'm sitting at the back now at the moment and it's quite nice here at the moment.

Do you have do you have an animal in your life? Las?

No, No, my work doesn't allow me to have have have any any Petsy because I work away a fair bit.

Yeah, I know that feeling.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd love to. I'd love to, but but but again I don't. I don't. I don't need to go away and get someone into toward my name.

Yeah, of course.

Well, Australian natives are designed to just deal with whatever nature sent down.

True. And I think a lot of the thank you, laz And I think a lot of particularly in w A, a lot of the fly in fly out, the chambage of the pressure that puts on would be challenging as well with an animal. We'll do this when we come back more the other side. Nathan Gosh Tony mack as Stradia Overnight Morning. Nathan, you're happy to kick on and we might have a beverage and come back for the second half. Absolutely, Australia Overnight morning.

Now, this is a Stradia Overnight with Tony McManus.

Wherever you are, Hello there, you can join us. Plenty of room on the board one numble three six nine three if you are sending messages and look at them Nathan zero four double seven sixty nine three six nine three. And for those listeners from WA morning to you via six PR in Perth one double three eight eighty two. So in other words, that's the number you ring one double three eight eighty two six pr. It comes through to me personally dosal phone number. Yes, you just get Jay to answering.

That's well. It's good to have a person.

Is we have people. We like to surround ourselves by people who are infinitely more capable than me.

It's not possible, it is.

And you surround people who know exactly what they're doing, and then I don't have to worry about it. You know what I'm saying. Yes, did I say that too loudly to give it? Ray? Good morning?

Yeah?

It's sorry. Hello, Ray, Hello, go ahead.

Ray, Hello to all the lovely listeners, and I'll send you many blessings.

Thank you.

First, I wanted to apologize for the other night I've got a bit grumpy when the subject was about time politicians. I don't know if you remember.

Or not, Ray, I don't really because I try not to dwell on these Did you and I have a discussion with regards where we're going as a nation?

Yes, yeah, that's right. I got to be grabby on this one.

No, Ray, I promise you I've given no further thoughts. So but I thank you for saying that. And I probably sometimes I get fired up by way of not fired up, Ray, by trying by trying to ascertain. I tried to go in search of what possible answers. Are we all clear about what the problems are. Many of us are not as clearer about what the answers or the fix might be.

Yes, yeah, I understand now that. Yeah, good on. I just wanted to for a suggestion that maybe when these shelters give out these dogs, they should also give out a booklet about saying what to do or what not to do with the dogs.

Well, they usually do give some sort of information and there'll be handouts of various sorts, but you know, you could end up with Encyclopedia Britannica there if it's sort of they gave too much. So I think it's beholden on people as well to do some of their own research.

Yeah, I understand that. And you'd think people and if they're going to get a dog, they know a little bit of data. Like just for instance, jellow Dale at this Blake's place and his dog's jumping up everywhere and he's yelling, screaming out of the city, and I said, yeah, well, why don't you teach at the city. They get, oh, it's a dumb dog. He doesn't know.

It's not a dumb dog. It's a tumb owner. I'm guessing.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I said, look, excite. It took me about three four minutes to teach, another two minutesters teach him to drop, another minutter teach him to stay.

He could do that.

Dogs don't come with knowing what to do.

You've got to.

Show them that's right, and you know, not just tell them no, no, no, I don't want you to do this because they get confused and they go, well, what do you want me to do? So you've got to, as you did, guide them, and then once they get the idea, the penny drops and oh is that what you want?

Okay?

And then where you.

Go, Yeah, I had a dog, and I told you knew about one hundred and fifty things.

Beloe Wow.

Taught him everything like the basics, and I always like to teach a hand signal to go with it. Yes, yeh, stay well, show us our hands. Yes, he knew how to closed doors. Put his dish in the sink. Now save prayers speak. The favorite toy was a car tire. Oh, you used to love fetching the car tire.

You know.

And that's the thing, you know, Training them is not cruel or it's not anything like that. If you if you are teaching your dog with positive reinforcement, they love it just as much as we do. And then you have a dog that's a pleasure to have around, is very well disciplined and it's going to do what you need it to do.

But sure dogs are individual, so you got to find out what what they're like. Some some like you can teach him with toys or orientable, so you find out what they love, and then you teach him with that exactly reward.

No, that's the way.

You obviously are very experienced at doing that, and fantastic that you help that gentlemen from Well, you're saving his voice and you're saving his dog from a lifetime of misery thinking, well, what do you want me to do for goodness sake?

Oh, that's right. In my last had diabetes, he's given an Jacson yes twice twice a day, yep. And that was costing me seventy five dollars every ten days.

Yeah, insolence.

I was struggling to pay it. But sometimes I went without seriod as long.

As right, wow, really.

Right to be right, Well done. Good on you, you know, just obviously a very very responsible peed owner.

Good ray, keep in touch, my friend.

Yes, go corpunk are a lovely, lovely part of northeastern Victoria.

Tis loveliest spot. Weld one you one double three six nine three And Nathan, here's a qustion for you. Dog shops do pitch chops sell products for ginger vite gingervitis?

No, they don't. Gingervitis is inflammation of the gums, and ginger vitis is not just normally a problem in itself. Generally, it's caused by plaque on the teeth that starts to work its way up underneath the gum, and the gums start to get inflamed. And so you don't treat ginger vitis as such. You need to treat the teeth first,

Do you floss?

I floss and I pixed that every day fixed ptix the little brush one yes, the little god pipe kind of things.

And where do you do that mask in the bathroom? So you wouldn't sit in the loundry for example?

No?

Right, why do you are you a lounger in floss? A A well, I'm trying to make it more socially acceptable.

I don't think it's socially to get the brush the little pistrel.

Yeah, it's a little pixture like you know, like a toothpick. You have a toothpick and a meal, don't you. Quite often they would put it. Yes, I don't know whether they still do it. You put a little thing of toothpicks get yes, yes, remove the filet from the little between your teeth and so. But nobody does that as much anymore. And you could sit watching the news at seven and you could just use your little picture and people.

Said, na, no, I don't think so.

Computers is computers?

No?

Well, I ended up doing it because I've had sort of issues with teeth all the way through and lots of feelings and all the rest of it. But in more recent times I've got on top of it. But then started went to the dentist, probably a couple of years ago now, and he said, oh, there's a couple of little patches starting there. And I said, but I'm doing all the right things, and I'm flossing and brushing twice a day and doing all of that. And so he put me on a special toothpaste, very high fluoride.

Just leave it.

So you leave the toothpaste there to help protect your teeth overnight.

It's a nice thing to be able to do. I was out for you, remember our great David man from here co w So was out at Masadon with David and had this dreadful piece wedged you right there, yep, wedged into the tooth. So we went in search of some picture. Yes. Eventually found some picture of the local

There you go, Kenny will come to you next day, to you west woodscrog Covin joined us one double three six nine three. We've got plenty of room on the board. Don't leave us here by ourselves, so you'll jump on. If you have a question, whether it be a vet question, whether it be an aviation question, or a picture in question or a pixt. It's a picture, isn't it? Yes, like pis magazine, p I K S T E. Pick. What was the name of the picks.

That was a naughty one? It was yes, p I X Yes. And People there was People magazine and pics if Pink magazine wasn't there?

And everything with some and yeah, everything's never been cleaner.

And you know my party trick about cleaning people's watch. No, Oh, you don't know about that? No Ah, So it's a party trick. So I remove people's watch at dinner.

Do they know that they're having their watch removed? Or is it done by still?

They know?

So combinations of both. So we're down at Mericks. I don't know what you've been to. The Mericks are down there, just down the other side of Summers.

Yes, down on the morning Ball.

It's beautiful. Yes. So they had a little thing where you get there and they supplied the food and the wine and it's really quite a remarkable experience. So we did that last Friday night. There's some lovely people. You'll sit next to different people, and there were some people that were wearing watches. Some were actually quite old, vintage Saikos and things. And I said, how long since you've cleaned that watch? And I said never, never cleaned the watch.

I'm doing my best to accelerate it.

I'm going to do a full time career just because a watch cleaner as a watch cleaner, I know.

Thank you, that's right, Tony the watch cleaner.

At the weather.

Kenny. Thank you. It's always good to have you on the program. Kenny. I say hi to your brother and hope you both remaining well. Ardie Miagi morning.

Good morning, Tony Mack and Nathan and Jay. Now, Nathan, there was another helicopter crash in Michigan. Fortunately no one got hurt.

Oh good I didn't. Yeah, well that's good. No, I didn't see anything about that. It's it's troubling, isn't it, all of these these crashes.

I just wanted to ask you. With these stealth be toos, I think they are on the flight said they did them at sixty two hours. Surely there'll be more than one pilot in me they wouldn't.

Be Oh yeah, yeah, no, definitely, and they mid air refueling, so that obviously it hasn't got the range of of doing all of that. So, yeah, they have multiple pilots in there, and they'll take it in shifts to have breaks and things, and then they'll all be on deck when they were on their mission, and then once they turned around and went home, then back to back to swapping around and making sure that they're rested.

Yeah, and they said they stocked microwaves in them as well.

Yes, yeah, I heard that earlier also, So yeah, they obviously they have some sort of TV dinners there because they have to eat and drink and that's very important to have lots of water, and they have a facility for the other end as well.

That's what they're thinking of when they're on this mission. That is you know with the incline world. Yes, but we're thinking about what we'd have as a TV dinner. Excellent.

You know, I saw a bunch of cham chimpanzees in the zoo having a nice tea together.

Good.

Yes, they're very social critics. What brand was the tea?

I don't know, because they made a special one for it, and I was a herb.

So it was good.

To see it was a Herb tea. Of course.

Perhaps sorry came mile, Perhaps, I don't know.

They made something special for them. It's funny.

Yes, Oh well, they've got to keep them occupied as well. That's one of the things that all the zoos are very good at these days, is, you know, environmental enrichment.

Well done, Artie. Always good to chat. Thank you for being part of the program. Yet again, I love that. What was the opinion when out to dinner was acceptable to use a tooth pick of the table.

Yes, but you'd put your hand in front of your mouth, wouldn't you, As Maggie says.

Couldn't you do that in the lands room with your PickStar?

Yeah? Look, I think we've moved on, Tony. I think we've moved on.

But if I was sitting here now, for example, this time of the morning, yes, in the privacy of the.

Three a W studio with no one watching, with no one wat camera, see if I.

Was for those that are watching online, would this be weird?

If I was actually yes, please just send in your text and things that if Tony was, yeah, that's.

I shut up to think that. Yes, it's not a good look. Adrian in Adelaide Morning, God, how are yeah, Adrian, We're well, thank.

You just swinging up. In just mentioned about missus marsh Yes, and she was played by the same I think the same lady was also match She was played by a lady.

Called Ruben a bead that's right.

And in America. Have you ever heard the American madge says the school teacher, compare to our madge?

Oh?

Yes, well we had I think our ads kind of although the products were the same. I guess maybe the ads were meant to be similar. But they put a local Our actors put a local flavor on on all of these things, didn't they.

And they were friends, they were friendly as founding the American ones.

Yes, well, we didn't need to be put them on.

The American ones, as was the Australian ones online. Yes, and we we we added over and I think in spades.

Yeah, well we don't need to be lectured to, we need to be spoken with.

And it was they were funnier, the funnier than the Yankee ads.

Yes, well, I mean there have been maybe that's a topic for for some time, you know, some of the funny or the fun ads that we've that we've had.

Over the years.

There have been some crackers, haven't they And sometimes they're their own worst enemy because you remember the ad, but you don't remember the product that they were advertising.

And the other thing I quickly want to say is that I listened to Tony Moclair or morn yesterday, Yes, and he had a very good session or segments on the B three bomber. He was talking about, you know, he wanted people to bring up as they wanted to know anything about the B three bomber, the B two, Yeah, to whichever it was. Yeah, and he was he was giving the information about it, which I was quite knocked out by.

And Tony is unbelievable with his military aviation and in fact, he used to write columns for Australian Aviation and I caught up with him a week or so ago, and you know, just him and a bunch of fellow military aviation enthusiasts and the stuff that they know about these aeroplanes, It just it puts me to shame, that's for sure. And he's a wealth of knowledge and I learn a

From all that interests originate with Tony Moakley.

I don't know. I don't think he comes from any sort of flying background, but it's like me, there's no one in my family that had anything to do with aeroplanes and there still isn't. I'm a loner in that respect, but there's just something that you either love them or you don't. And Tony doesn't fly, but he certainly loves aeroplanes for what they are in the machinery in that passion.

Did you ever ask Hi why he didn't ever?

He just I don't think he had the resources at the time or perhaps the interest I've been doing, OK, may be doing all right, thank you very much. Well, I'm I'm gonna after color him and with him.

Some training with him. Will we'll do this when we come back one double three six nine three. It is Australia. Tony mcmaus, Nathan cost is here and you can join us as well. Come and be part of it. We'll do that. On the other side. Front page of This Morning, that is Tuesday Morning, Finn Review talks about he runs Military has derided I hope we've got that right word there. It runs. Military has derided US President Donald Trump as gambler and pledged to end the war on its own terms.

There, Yes, the Straits of Homers. Well that's well, this will be the next I mean, obviously that's a ploy that they have to block off the oil supply to the west and watch what's going to happen to petrol prices over the next little while.

One double three six nine three. Come and join us, Julian as say hello to our Nathan Kosher. I don't know whether you know, Julian, I do for end of the radio station three a W. Good morning, Julian, Good morning, sir.

The man who brang up about helicopters remember original answer, Yes, helicopters that went to Hayman Island.

It did.

I went on that as a child from Proserpine to Hayman Island, indeed supine.

And also remember that he had his own helicopters from Are those helicopters preserved or they would have been in a scrapyo.

I don't I haven't seen or heard of that being preserved anywhere. The old red answered, I think it was a Bell forty seven or that type of thing, which was the thing that you see on mash. You know, when they when they bring the wounded. But I don't know what happened to that helicopter. That's a very good question, Julian.

And the other question was remember when Bob an fought for the right, Yes, okay, whatever happened to another car rental company called Case.

Well that's right.

Well, yeah, the way that I think it morphed into something else, it might have morphed into hurts perhaps. But the the thing with when you when you used to go on Australian, when you at the Australian airports, if you went with TAA, you would go with K's rental car, or if you went with Anset you would go with Avis rent a car and you would push the call button and you could book a car and have that ready.

Julian. Still sorry, Jillian, you you want to say, no, he's disappeared, He's there gone. Julian, thank you for that. Those callers that are waiting Vermin will come to you very surely. Mark in Slovakia as well. We just want to go to Gabe Hodson from our Australia Overnight news room. It's breaking, really, will you just bring us up. But this tests to do with the Qatar report.

Yes, all espace over Qatar has been cleared residents they have been told to shelter in place. Now we've just got the first reports coming through from Reuters News agency. They're reporting that explosions have been heard in Doha in Qatar. So Qatar has I'm not sure how to pronounce it. I'm not going to try. I'm not going to embarrass myself. But it does have the largest US base in the Middle East, and there's about eight thousand US citizens living

So yeah, so Iranian fish is telling certainly seen in Toroun, wants to pay pay for its attack directly. So this is the words being used as usually some sort of indicator to isn't it.

Yeah, Yeah, this is escalating very quickly.

All right, Would you'll keep an eye on and keep us right through this Tuesday morning as to how this unfolds. But it's really moving you right.

It sure is. And obviously the Iranians are going after Western interest and Qatar is pretty close to ir An, so that's where they're going to hit.

I believe it's where a lot of the organizing for Afghanistan staging. Yeah, having in guitar, yeah, yes.

Thank you, Gabe, Thank you for doing that for us. Certain we'll keep up to date as we go through the morning together. Vern Interrelgin Hello, uh uh good good morning, Good morning men, and you too, Tony.

Uh, just.

A bigger pardon.

Anyway, I was earlier, but I didn't quite get my message through, which.

It was.

In in the country in the morning, you got breakfast.

Uh.

And and when the when the clock went at twelve o'clock, it was come to dinner, Come to dinner.

Yes, it was dinner, wasn't it in the middle of the day.

And then the lady would come out and should ring the triangle and so dinner time. But it was twelve o'clock.

Uh.

Now, I booked a This is where the confusion comes. I booked a venue for dinner time, thinking it was going to be twelve o'clock.

And the dinner time, of course was later in the evening.

Yeah, because it was breakfast, dinner and tea. That's right, exactly. H And this is where the trouble started.

But anyway, talking about and this is where the trouble started.

That's right, talking about Tony. You don't care.

What what do you call it?

Don't care?

Oh, anyway, among the best aeroplane I've ever made, and menium, yes, and all the bolts and everything to put it on his fence. But he's never come back to tell me that. Well, this way, I tested it out. It's been around the world about three or four times.

Good on yourn, Thank you. It's a lovely story. I love I've know that. Yes, that sound asleep? Vern thangs Mark in Slovakia. High.

Hey, guys, I'm just going to put you off this hands free thing. I hope you can hear you, We can hear eleven clears excellent, Okay, I've got too interestable. Two questions at are burning?

Yes?

About this B two thing that went.

Over to you ran to play games?

Yes?

How does it work with such a long distance? I think it was thirty two, thirty four to thirty six hours something like that.

They have multiple crips.

Sorry, yeah, that's non stop. Is there a round trip.

Or oh, well they can do indefinitely, well more, not quite indefinitely. They need to check oils and things. But because they can mid airy fuel, so they'll have the tankers, the aerial tankers up there at strategic places and so they can just keep topping up their fuel and they can keep going. So no, they didn't stop and land anywhere. They just kept going.

My two questions do they have auto pilot?

Yes?

And how do they work with sleep? I mean, you know, they probably don't publish a lot of information, but how have they about sleeping.

They'll have more than one pilot on board, and the autopilot is there just to relieve our workload. We still monitor the autopilot and say, for instance, if you know, one of us needs to pop out to the bathroom or what have you, the other pilot will still be there and monitoring the autopilot. So we program all the bits and pieces into it that we need speeds and altitudes and that type of thing, and then we don't just sort of let it do its thing, because of course technology is not perfect.

So I mean, on the B two.

Yeah, they would have.

A similar kind of system, so you don't hand fly the thing the whole way, so they would have it programmed.

How does the dunny situation work? They've only got two on board? Yeah, I can't really walk out the door, can they know?

Well, they'd have one, they'd have one. I'm not sure what the crew is, whether they'd have on the longer flights, they'd probably have more than two, and one just sort of in the crew rest. But yeah, they certainly have a They certainly have a bathroom there, and you only need while they're in the crew Certainly, while they were on the mission it would have been all hands on deck.

I hope they have a stewardess that chosen.

No, sadly, sadly not.

They have to figure out their own microwave instructions, which you know probably yeah, could have ended in tears, but I'm sure they would have. Probably all the food groups there like fried chicken and hamburgers and hot dogs.

Will rest the short these people, not that we want to. These people are highly skilled, oh my, highly trained. So you know whether they have a pee or whether they eat, They know exactly who, how why when? Incredibly disciplined. Yeah, absolutely good on you, thank you for that. It's always good to talk to you there over there in Slovakia. Will do this when we come back. More of your cours come and jordis so plenty room on the board.

As well as in Qatar, so it looks as though they might be the Iranians might be performing some sort of multiple strike on the US bases in the region.

Yeah.

First RAF evacuation flight carrying about sixty three British nationals and dependents leaving Israel for Cyprus.

So yeah, there are a lot of evacuations going on on both sides. I think the Australian government's looking at getting Australian or Irani Australians and Israeli Australians out of the area if people wish to leave, hopefully they still can.

Yes, we would hope that's the case. One double three six nine three play room on the board. You get through STRAIGHTA why are you going to stay for another few minutes with us? Tell the news and then you've got important people to talk to. Did you ever, Well, we have and we'll cross over to Indo. Brady in the UK as well. Were you a great fan as I was of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Yes, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Would they just fantastic?

They were, indeed, but they ended up becoming quite acrimonious. But in their latter years they sort of buried the hatchet and I think they became they were on good terms again.

It was a very funny piece. I think it was Frank Sinatra that orchestrated that memory. Yes, that's all right, got them back together again eventually, Yeah, but as a team. Yes, this was the day that they broke up. What year would you have said that they broke up in before you and I are, Oh yeah, fifty six? Oh good, good, fifty six. Wow. They didn't speak to one another for at least twenty years, and then that feud briefly ended when Frank Boordine onto the stage at one of Lewis's telethons.

Alison ab and Costello the same on such good terms.

And there are many people in broadcasts that work very closely together and just lowe each other, not us, Allison. No, Alison, I don't know about you. I like you, Ellison in a thank you for being the good morning Ellison.

Good morning to you by hey Allison.

Hello.

Just two little questions.

Are you a fan of a ferret? And can you tell me anything bad about them? Because I've heard they are really quite good to have his pad And my other question is is it legal to own a donkey in the city.

You'd have to look at your council by laws, but obviously you need to have some sort of paddic at the back before you can before you can have it.

There certainly used to be people that.

Would keep horses and goats and things around the place, So I would suggest as long as there's an appropriate enclosure for it, that it's probably legal to do so, so that's your second question. Ferrets are rather an acquiet taste.

Allison, hope that helps a little bit. We've got to do this news not far away. Nathan Kosh is leaving the building. Thank you for your wonderful contribution for the last few hours. Pleasure.

Thank you for having me, and thank you everybody for listening in, calling, writing, or whatever you're doing.

Or sleeping and texting into all of the Yeah, and we'll see you. It's one of the mornings next week hopefully, Yes, Okay, thank you. We're going to cover what looks to be pretty fronding attack US spaces in Guitar and Iraq. We'll keep you up to date as we go through the morning. Australia Overnight.

Is Australia Overnight with Tarny McManus.

Nathan Kosh has left the building. Therefore we're going to miss out on some of those people that send through emails and or text. Nathan will be joining us again one morning next week. Next week you will be with us the much loved Nathan Akosh, who is a quantitypilot and a vet well and truly a much loved part of the Australia Overnight program. Now we'll keep you up to date as this situation in the Middle. We can tell you based on we're watching a couple of screens

Good morning.

You going all that well? Thank you, Leo? What about yourself?

Yet a little bit worried? Tell you what's going on oversee?

You know, I think we're all a bit concerned, to say the least, Leo, because you and I have not been through a situation quite like this. No in okills, different kind get work.

Couldn't get worse.

Well, we don't know. Let's let's pray that that's not the case, Leo. But we have no idea. This is this is new and foreign to many of us. There are people listening from around Australia now that would have come from certainly war torn devastated areas in the past. This just feels a bit different.

Anyway, I tell you, I just want to change the subject a bit please. I went to I went to the doctors yesterday.

To the doctor. To the doctor, you did go And what did he say?

And I said, you my thing, I've got food palling.

I think I've got some food poisoning.

Yeah, I hate something. It might be put and gave me a stomach hate. Yeah, and it might be food poising me.

This sounds like a gag coming. I reckon, go on, it's have a look, you know, you have a look.

Then he said to me, and he said, what have you been eating the last twenty four hours? Oh, said I grabit sandwiches for lunch.

Rabbit rabbit sandwiches for lunch, and rabbit stew for tea, rabbit stew for tea. So he had bunny for lunch, bunny for.

Tea, he said. He said to me, said, you don't need me. You need a ferrot.

You need a ferret.

You get it.

I do, Thank you. It was worthwhile waiting for too. By the way, now you're a great fan of the Easy Beats. Did you do you remember the Easy Beats over the years. Leo Friday in my mind, Friday on their mind was a massive song. Well only because the Great Bill Armstrong, who you may or may not be familiar with. But here in Melbourne was Armstrong Studios and Bill Armstrong was the founder of Australia's most famous studios

I would come back the small him all.

The girl was not inside.

I've been looking.

It's very well.

The money is dude.

If they like that, she's so bad, she said, oh she's she's a burning no, but she would burning gods still she lives a ving up, handle the warm and love the level before because oh.

My love, she's got wet.

She's so bad.

She said, look.

Maybe, but she's up. He's a burning Normogy would burner?

Where did she know by?

Where did she know how she went boun the ball?

Oh?

Now about she does?

She don.

A b and know how?

But she went bad? All don't go Yeah, she knows.

How she went boun Oh that's all. What a song? Easy beats. That's what the recorded the Mstrongs Studios and the great mister Armstrong. Bill Armstrong, who's not enjoying great health at the moment. I hope he's up and listening, is having a birthday today at ninety six. Bill, you were highly thought of as survivors last Saturday at the lunch. People missed you being there, Katar. No casualties in attacks

Moment, just watching what's going on over the skies of Captar as Iran launches this attack on an American air base called Aluded. I've actually been there. It's in the middle of nowhere. It's a big dust bowl in the desert, but they've an awful lot of kiss men and women and equipment there, the Americans. It's huge, and I think if anything happens to an American soldier in the next few hours, God help me. Iron, I think it's going

Yeah, part of which is what we're doing right now, and I guess and the challenge for each and every one of us remains to make sure that when we're making any commentary about it, that it is in fact real, that it is the truth and it's not something that you know, we're not clear about before even talking about it.

Yeah.

Look, there's huge responsibility on the media to get the information correct, but it's finding the new ones I think in everything. So part of me wonders, has there been some back channel communication between the Iranians and the Americans saying, look, we need to save face, we need to do something after what happened over the weekend. To us, we love a few rockets off you intercept them and we'll leave it at that.

I don't know, it's just it's a challenging time for the world. Let's look what's happening in your part of the world. With Nigel Faraj, she's moved ahead of Staman now in some of the polls.

By nine percentage points. So this is a big opinion poll at the weekend. If there was an election in the morning a general election. Remember we're four years away from one now, so we're just coming up to the first one year anniversary of ker Stamer being Prime Minister, and he's going backwards.

In the polls.

Starmer's Labor Party are on twenty five percent and this Reform UK Party led by Nigel Forraj they've only got four other politicians in Parliament, so it's Foras and four others. They're now on thirty four percent, so they're surging ahead and a lot of people are talking about him and Forag is hamming it up and saying he wants to be the next prime minister and he's putting a plan

It's wonder to watch your pro Palestine group that's caused tens of millions of dollars of damage to ourf JITs. Why who win?

So we don't know who they are, but we know what their mission is. They're called Palestine Action. They've just been banned by the UK government in the last couple of hours, so this is a big domestic story today. What happened over the weekend was at least two of them broke into an RAF base in Oxfordshire, RAF Brice Norton. They just basically got through a fence from what I could see on the footage. They filmed it themselves. They had converted fire extinguishers to carry red paint and they've

Thirteen only arrested.

Yeah, yeah, pretty quick reaction by the police, all off the back of the government today basically having enough of these people and saying right, you're now banned.

How are you coping with the hot weather?

Yes, it's been you know what, a little bit cooler today. I was in London Town. The tube was bearable, certainly a lot better than it was on Wednesday and Thursday last week when it was pushing thirty celsius. It's been wonderful, Tony, I won't lie. It's been great to see the sun shining, kids out everyone and joining themselves. I feel sorry for the kids because they're still in school for it for the four weeks, believe it or not, but it's great

You going to Glastonbury.

You could not pay me to go to Glastonbury, Tonly, come on, you know me, I like my comforts. I like knowing that there is cold beer in the fridge and I don't have to queue for it. I'm gonna watch it on the TV. I like knowing that I can pop to my bathroom and I don't have to queue for it, and it is spotlessly clean. And I like sleeping in a lovely clean bed with crisp, clean cotton sheets. Camping and all that muck and all those

It'd be one to do before we drop off this mortal coil.

Oh.

Do you know what, maybe if it was a v T day out and you didn't have to spend five hours in traffic, and you had to fly down in a helicopter and you had an air conditioned big what's they call them yorks? You know, these big kind of wigwam type like a Marquee, Yeah, a Marquee, and it was air conditioned and it was I'm talking like euro millions winning level of Tony and.

A couple of lazy boy chairs yeah.

Yeah, and open john in front of you literally ten meters away with a piano then I might consider it, but for now I think the TV is every bit as good. But good luck to all the youngsters and the ulsters heading down there.

Where is that a young, enthusiastic, young reporter inquiring about anything that I once knew.

Turned into a grumpy old man Tony well thought.

To see who will talk again on Thursday. It's a great end of Brady in there to see you by Qatar air defenses. He decept a tax. Now on this US base, it would look as if, as Ender pointed out, it's probably looks like gotta be careful what I say here. I guess it looks like a tit for Tatten. At this stage, nothing has happened, but the warnings are out there, but it's hard to tell because we're only getting the one frame, which is being just repeated over and over.

Good morning, Good morning, Tony, hell are you rand well?

Thank you and yourself.

The leader of the leader of.

The the.

Leader of the Victorian. Gracious Jasmine. I can't remember the last time with the interviewed by Tom Williott Yester morning on the on the.

Tom ill Elliott at Morning program here on three w Yeah.

And she she couldn't answer a straight question, I mean, who are they going to go after a short as well? Are they going to go after America? They're going to go after all the Western all the Western She was actually she wouldn't answer the question. I mean, but they had no like to take to take far weapons that are around around. Found nothing bad. I can't get either help.

Brendan, I didn't. I didn't hear the interview, and I wish I had of now that you were say that. It's often it's often put that a politician doesn't answer the question. And you hear that. I've heard that for decades and decades and decades. It's a curious. It's a curiosity to me. Is it that they don't answer the question or they don't give the answer for which the

It seeing.

The direct question.

Yeah and so, and some of these people are highly skilled with me. It's skilled with me. They have people are surrounding them teaching them, training how to make the point without over committing. Because either and or it can be used against them. So in a sense, it can be a you know, a no win and That's why sometimes they go, well, we don't need to do the interview because it's we don't get anything out of it as a politician. So it's a game. It's a game.

I'm one more thing before. Yeah, I looked around the corner from this protest I had on Sunday outside the American Embassy on Sintil Road, and I didn't that they were so double faking.

To them.

Around was the victim.

Yes, there are many people around the world that see that. I mean, you and I don't, but there are many people that do.

Where there was a lady one hundred years ago during the Second World Watery would have been tried for treason.

They would have been tried for treason. Yes, what because they were sympathizers.

Oh it sounds more collaborator collaborator.

Well, I don't know. I'd have to think about that for a moment, Brendan as to whether or not they would have been tried for treason in Australia. Until the best of my knowledge, you are permitted to have a view in a democracy. You are me to have a view? Is it always palatable to many of us? No, But one of the joys is that you are to have a view. When you look at some of the countries about which we are talking at the moment, you're not permitted to have any views, and you can be crushed

Good morning, Good morning, tiny mate.

How are you traveling?

Yeah, not too bad. How are yours hanging?

Oh? You know, just just about the same.

The bvd's the Lord gam.

That's right next to myself. I like my bvd's best order and the D stand more now idea. I'm thinking, well, look at that BVD. We're thinking it was a great brand that was advertised I think by Newton many years ago. What you're talking will see what what was the BVD underwear? If you put BVD underwear and the origins of the v D underwear, what did it stand?

A bloody box?

Now and fruit of the Loom was the other one. What was Fruit of the Loom underwear?

Not for gentlemen?

Yeah, Fruit of the Loom made some great gentleman's underwear.

Okay, mate, Bruce points, if I may please the British correspondent that likes to do the marathon runs in with his name again breeding it sounds like wild Horses definitely couldn't drag himTo aforementioned music festival. He loves his mod cons that much. But when when that phrase couldn't drag

Wild Horses are by the Stones, that's the one. It's a great track. We might do it. We won't be able to do it before the serial, but you're right, it is a wonderful piece, you know, just in terms of dragging.

But lastly, mate, if I may send a few cheerios, you sure may out to Joan from Endeavor Hills.

You'll love this and this is why we have great people like Jay starting in eighteen seventy six. BVD has always believed to be extraordinary, has never been about extravagance. They've been around long enough to know that the measure of quality is in its simplicity. After all, don't you love this? They've churned this out beautifully.

Mark it's all very well to say that it is, okay But i'm the one that could go to. PRISON a man has been charged and therefore we've got to be very very. CAREFUL i hope you understand.

Moment AND i don't want. TO i don't want to go to prison AND i don't want to have to go to

Tony there was a wood based of ice works In Glen Parry, ray just near the corner Of maulvin.

Jan, Morning Anthony.

Robins, Well i'm taking a big deep. BREATH i hate Because marcus is always welcome on this, program But i've just got to protect the radio station and preict me BECAUSE i don't want to go to some. Tribunal i'm not too sure that everybody necessarily understands, that but it is so critical when things are before, courts it's just not.

Worthwhile you can't say anything some do to. Say that's not WHY i.

Ran why did you, Ring? Jane why did?

You because earlier TONIGHT i heard a caller talking about The High Performance club and The Low Performance club and you seem to express some.

Amusement, WELL i didn't quite.

UNDERSTAND i didn't understand the. Reference so please explain if you, yeah.

Go, well When tony mostly ran, overnight he had the high performance and The low performance and he And, bianca of course was his.

Master of.

Arts and.

So anyone who agreed With bianca got put into The Low performance, club and if anyone agreed With, tony they could put into The High Performance clubin how it, worked can you get a certain number of?

Points AND.

I, MEAN i said to him one, night it seems That i'm in both clubs because IF i say something that you, like you give. Me it used to have a, ward you, know gold coin and silver, coin and you know you've got a certain number of gold. Coins you ended right at the top of The High Performance.

Club, okay so that's what that.

WAS i, SEE i was not familiar with that little. Benchmark isn't that a good way to do?

It but talk about, ICE.

I remember when the horse had cart used to bring the ice around In north det to my grandmother's, house and it'd Be hessian bag hanging over the ice and the ice man would hop the ice off the cart with a, hook whack it on his shoulder with The hessian bag around, it run into the house and put the ice block Into grandma's ice.

Chest she didn't have a.

Refrigerator, oh the ice, chest, Yes and The hessian bag thing rings a bell as.

Well and the ice works was not terribly far.

Away obviously they couldn't have the ice going around the streets for. Hours so it was somewhere In alphington Or, northcote AND i can't remember quite. WHERE i can picture it in my, head BUT i can't remember the.

Streets.

Now would you, recall AND i mean this with great love and, affection would you recall when the how do we put? It when the other horse and cart would come past her to take out away the you know what in the middle of the.

Night, yes, Well northcote was very. Sophisticated it actually had sewage to the early but DID i do remember When grandma still had the? Pan BUT i was very. Young northcote has. Sewage, however WHERE i grew, up which Was, greensborough we didn't have sewage until the.

Sixties oh so was that?

Late mm.

Hmm and up until, then what do you remember was a little and so somebody would come past and pick it up on a regular. Basis, yeah was there a lane way back in those? Days did you have a lane?

Way, Well, NORTHCOT i Mean greensboro was very open, country so we had a lane way which the baker's cart came up with the horse and.

Cart and.

But But.

Dad and his neighbors built themselves septic, tanks so we didn't have the nightcat still used to come up the low to another, neighbor but three of the more sophisticated people had septic.

TAKES i love the way you say, that AND i reckon jan it'd be an interesting thing to do a bit of talkback for people right across the three states Of south A, STRALIA wa And, victoria of, course where those great properties that had lane ways post war lane ways at the back of their home growing up that had those lane. Ways and for what other purpose were those laneways? Used?

Well playing tour.

Probably there was a lot of. That that's the point That i'm trying to. MAKE i think it would have been more than just for delivery services or removal. Services it would have been for kicking a. Footy you would have done that in the laneways in those.

Days oh, Yeah and.

Cricket pictures and cricket pictures are, great.

They were just. Fantastic jan thank. You The Iceman? Cometh did you get that up and get those? Stories so look at. This The Iceman cometh was a play written by The american Playwright usually O'Neill in nineteen thirty, nine was first published in forty. SIX a play Premium broadway at The black The Martin Beck, THEATER I Beg Your pardon in forty, six directed By Eddie. Dowling we're around

You, Yeah i'll tell you what that previous, caller she was just an absolute well with.

Knowledge good on you with regards to What Mark, well.

Just in regards to you, know the lame.

Way, yes some of those great languet.

History you, Know i've done a bit of two up AND i had to go way out in the country to sort of get that that sort of vibe happening in the. Eighties you, know two up is a thing of the past.

Now, Really, YEAH i guess a lot of the young people probably don't even know what that.

Is.

Mark i'm thinking it wouldn't be passing enough for.

Him fifty.

Fifty don't turn him. On you, know you've got to have more odds than. That but, anyhow my my earliest recollection of lame ways was down He faced and we had a lame way and the guy that was delivering the milk did nothing but curse the. Road the entire TREEP i used to yell out. SOMETIMES i was about twelve years. Old i'd yell, out just put up with the, roads shut, up OR i just say something like.

That, well it's that. Effect and why would he be yelling.

Out, well he just his car was being bounced. Around of, course they're all done in sand down In, frankston and they just. Moved and he used to just curse.

Them AND i used to.

Love my head.

Off it's a little bit about some of The victorian roads Today mark not much.

Different, well there are still.

Laneways there are a lot of the crooks around The Mornington. Peninsula they know all the side, streets they know all the. Laneways you get them on a motivate young kids around about fourteen on these electric. Bikes the coppers have not got a chance of catching.

Him, well there's that as, WELL i, guess and that becomes part of THE i don't, know that becomes part of the hood in that.

Sense, well the thing, is you're not doing anything illegal by just riding around at night on these electric. Bikes you're not doing any, damages, said just screaming around like, kids.

Which is a paint in the, clock except if they happen to hit as somebody who might be out for a stroll in the next thing, bangs they keep going and somebody can be very seriously, injured which we've we've seen on you, know dozens of. Occasions, YES i must have.

IT i do have an eight bike, myself AND i do go a bit.

Too good on Your. Marc always good to. Chat thank, you dear. Friend christian on the run again And, christian good, morning good.

Morning tiny has a.

Game sensationally in. Yourself good just ringing in regards to now would you fork out the money to?

Go, yeah it's not once a life time for my kids and mist in the fact that brought up on a very healthy diet of our rade stuck in The toto.

Player of a.

Car so you years of their early life THAT i ever.

Heard so you're going to punish them even further buy them the tickets and take them to the.

Concert, yeah most Definitely i'll be paying out the money and we'll be. Going so but also, YEAH i remember the layways involving having to go From canal down To Saint joseph down that.

Way, yeah, boy so that was on Stan Hope.

Street, yeah from, memory, yes from, memory.

Yes Stanhope, Street joey's was on the, stage and then so you'd walk out the back Onto Stanhope street and up To Saint joseph's.

Involving, yeah so, yeah good times back in those. Days what time?

Ago now?

Though what years were you? There? Christian ninety?

TWO i?

Finished you finished in ninety, two so way after. Me i'm just trying to think one of my younger brothers might have still been there in ninety, Two dan, McManus but That i'm just trying to think whether he would have left just before ninety. Two maybe he might have been about eighty eight when he was, OUT i think from, memory so maybe.

Not Too but also on the just another, Thing i'm just going a bit further with the ice the. Refrigerator did you know that that was originally going to be done By George westinghouse who put money Into Nikola tesla to make it, Free but the major investor WAS. J. D morgan and, said If i'm not making money out of, It i'm dropping the amount of Money i'm going to be investing with.

You and so then what happened after?

That Basically tesler basically had no money and then obviously went into reclusion and it's only just been recent that they're engineering, wise that they've started to fire up the. Machine whereabouts you get for, electricity we're within a certain amount of. Room you can google it on YouTube or whatever and it comes up with the free machine and engineers are now trying to get it basically used for

Fridge is that, Right?

Out did us a favor because we've got a better house and it didn't sell. It

Leaking, WELL i find it. Disappointing AND i guess there's always going to be great, landlords and they're going to be landlords that frankly are a bit dodgy for whatever. Reason but you would think that in this day and age and the great nation that we know and Lovers, australia you would think that the relationship should, be, well here's the. Deal this is the PROPERTY i, own here's the rent for WHICH i am. Looking and part of that deal IS i will help you WHERE i possibly.
