Tones voics like a friendly brings the country close across the land.

Overnight, overnight. I'm got to tell you it's an interesting day Wednesday, twenty fifth of June, or not quite there yet of course for Adelaide and w A, but not that far away. The reason I mentioned that is one of the all time most love performers that you and I grew up knowing and watching in at least two great TV series having a birthday today. This particular person is turning one one hundred, one hundred today. Who is it. We'll let you know very shortly. Adie, morning, Good morning,

But amazing exactly what I was going to talk to you about. Because of this Iran creachity going on with the war and everything, they suggesting on the news that they're going to go up in six weeks up to two thirty eight, even up to two fifty three A leader ooh.

Well, I mean that's probably one of the things we're going to be cautious about as to whether or that does happen, and be aware that it's a possibility. How here we are the twenty fifth How can it possibly work out that just in twenty four hours and or less almost one side of the great city of Melbourne, for example. And I haven't had any reports coming in from Adelaide or wa as to whether or not they've had any increases. But how can it be retailing as some places for eighty cents a later more?

Well, I'm certain I'll find passing buyers. I normally always do an advice to community where it is the cheapest. It's not fair. Everyone gets ripped off with that amount. It's atrocious. It's not right, is it? So it's just not good?

Well, I don't know whether it's a ripoff, but just that well, maybe it is. But how does it work that in one part of this great city it's that price, another part of the city it's that price.

Well, when I was guarding Williamstown metroiler, there'll be a lady to finished work, and she came all the way from Carolina Springs before because it was all two thirty at one stage, and it was at least one thirty at Metro Williamstown. So a lot of travel that price, you would travel, but not for a few cents more. It doesn't make sense. No, but for a signific amount it would anyway, if you don't mind. You were raise it. You raised about first cars yesterday.

Yeah, we were talking about those first cars. What it was and and the other take to that is how much you paid for it and who paid for it?

Well?

I saved up for my own car. The first was the first and the very best. I heard a gentleman talking about Hultor hq Manaro V eight two four three sedan. When exhaust the beast mold came. We didn't gave one park in Tiger, but sadly got stole. But it was the best car I ever had.

What was the Keller?

A Cruic white had a Cruick white and white bars the highway patrol whom I knew you would pull me over, and see we did pull Jave, not because you've done anything wrong. We love the paint on your card.

Do you want so I go?

No, I don't put too much in it.

I should off, as I've mentioned many times before, because it costs solen they go easy.

We caart of you change your minds, did you? Unfortunately I was going to get insured, so it wasn't insured.

So I get flogged and you didn't have it insured.

Yeah, well you know when I did security and I mentioned it before the Yeah, the Monaro went for one hundred and ninety five grand.

And if it only you'd had it insured, you'd be you'd be a wealthy lead.

Today, life goes on. I've got a good run out, but at least.

Stew Ball was a race horse. Bless your heart and soul. Thank you, Arthur. You've kicked it off beautifully for us. If you'd like to jump on board, you can do that as well. It's open line this morning. Having said that, we're going to talk to the family. It's a great family owned business called Cold Express. Cold Express the letter x pore doubles family owned operator, refrigerator transport, cold storage company. You find out more about that with the CEO and

Fantastic, good, good, excellent.

So I'd just like to tell you a couple of things about ferrets.

Ferrets. That's the funniest intro I've ever had to a talkback caller. Hello there, I'd just like to tell you a couple of things about ferrets. Well, thank you, professor. What do I need to know about ferrets?

Well, I've got hospital points. They're escape artists.

They're like, what's his name?

The one that died in the trunk? Starts with the night, the one that died in the trunk round himself?

What a ferret?

No?

What?

No person who was a magician who died in the trunk?

Going right?

Okay, I thought you're talking about a ferret who himself Hondini thinking that's it.

Escape artists apparently, Now, litter training didn't until it didn't exactly. Litter training with the ferret is a problem. You've got to have patience and consistency.

So they really don't get it.

They're playful and they like hide and seek and chase. So I don't they like a dolphin, you know, because sexually a dolphin is very promiscuous, So I don't have they like that.

But you know who knows they have a.

Distinct musky smell, which that would be normally off footing. Yes, yes, and what you can get commercial ferret food?

No, where would you buy that? Into the pitch store bought it.

I don't have a ferret, but I was thinking about butcher boys.

Or pet Bhan.

Yep, this commercial ferret food.

So you go go in, say to the great people in Pete Manella there, I'd like to feed the ferret.

Yes, and then they give you a big bag of something.

They give you a big bag of a ferret food.

But.

Apparently highly intelligent. But yeah, I think that maintenance being married to yes, I can I can imagine.

You'd rather not have the ferret, you'd rather not have the partner.

I think i'd go for the ferret first, that.

We'll use that. Could you say that one more time? I think i'd go for the ferret first.

I think i'd go for the ferret food.

I think we could use that over and over else. That's just I love your work, brilliant Karen good Moore.

I like.

Feeling these travels, the guitar and Q wait and all those areas.

Yeah, it's just we're got to watch.

I mean, I'm not wishing, of course, but you need a straight so and it could be very devastating. So I'm know they're debuting a lot of their h traffic to Singapore and India.

Yeah, I've got to motors due in today later today to fly from Melbourne into a Doha and I'm thinking to myself, I don't know, I don't know that I'll be wanting to do that right now.

It was a.

Plane went to forty in the air going through the area and I had to turn around and come back to Melbourne. Yeah, give the money throat and then they can do it again.

Did you see President Trump lost? He's lost his cool, which we don't often see him do his nana like that. But it was pretty explosive, wasn't it.

Wow.

Yeah, I mean I don't see him as a great peace snaker anyway.

And then anyway you think you think, you think he's a peacemaker.

He's got a small pad in the but I don't see him that a huge peace snaked king of the world or whatever.

It's going along well so far, Yeah, is poor.

People stuck in the middle of it, like the all the kids and the mothers and the kid and that's.

And that's why the little you become forlorn about this where there are We saw pictures on the news and just maybe over the weekend. I think it was little kids, and I know these things are sometimes a misinterior. The little kid says that all I get to eat now the moon is sand.

Isn't it terrible?

It's just terrible. And yet we think that this will be finished within days. Well, I don't know that it will be. These kids that are going through this will suffer for the rest of.

Yes, and also the newborns in the hospital.

Newborn So can you imagine what it's like for newborn mums and all the other ancillary issues day to day living for the most part. Put on hold, Karen, I'll let you. God, it's good to talk to you. Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to catching up with the family that runs this business called Cold Express Cold x Press x Press director of Operations. We'll talk about that next. Plenty of time for your calls. Don't leave us by ourselves one double three six nine three where

Jack.

Good morning. It's a great story.

Really.

I mean here we are based in Listerfield, right here in Victoria, and you are the director of operations. What do we know about it? What do we need to know about it?

Jack?

In terms of how it first started?

So, I've I've got my dad next to me, Tony John.

I thought I'd bring the big dog on and far away.

Bring the big dog on, John, big dog?

Goodmore?

Are you fantastic and thank you for being here? John. So presumably you were ultimately responsible, as a youngster of creating this amazing, what is now a wonderful business.

Yes, that's correct. I started it in ninety eight with my uncle at the time and my wife doing some admin. Yeah, and we went from there.

What was the opportunity, Jack? What were you doing up until that time?

Well before that, I actually was born into business. My dad had a fruit shop and just going up going to the market, getting up three thirty in the morning. With him, I guess he instilled a good work ethic in me. And when he retired, I took it over his little shop, and I then extended it. I knocked it down, it three times bigger, and eventually I sold that shop. It was in South Caulfield, and because I had the truck, I kept the truck. And then I remember the first first week I was home. My wife

Twenty foot container. How many trucks now.

Are john Now, we've got around one hundred and forty trucks.

Wow, one hundred and forty trucks. Do you know what the beauty of what you just said in that lovely background is the role your father played in this pretty humble beginnings.

I would have thought, oh yeah, yeah, you know, you know when my dad when he was doing deliveries, like they were doing home deliveries, he would, you know, to the local people that would come in, he would walk the box on his shoulders. Yeah, home deliveries because he didn't want to spend the petrol in the truck, oh, in the in the van. Yeah, that's that generation. That's what they would do. Everything was about saving, saving, saving, because they knew what it was like.

You know.

They they grew up in just post war, so yeah, they did it tough and they were they were.

The real heroes.

They were the real heroes. And there are zillions of those stories right across Australia. So John, for father came from.

Where my dad came from Strombly in Italy. He came over with his suitcase, owing his passage to someone who brought him over and he went to work for them in a fruit shop. For I think it was about thirty or forty cents a week back.

Then thirty or forty cents a week, just post war in Melbourne, of course.

Yeah, yeah, I think he started off in Hawthorne and he worked seven days a week, never had a day off. And then he met my mum and he asked just for a couple of hours off so we'd go, you know, get her an engagement ring, you know, and he was told no, you know, you can't have any time off. So Dad said, look, you know, I've more than paid my passage back to you. Now I'm leaving. And he left and he got his own little shop and that's how he started.

That is fantastic. You talk about those markets in those days, John, presumably you're talking Footscraen, Yes, yes, yes.

Yes, Well Dad started off in the it was Victoria Market originally and then they moved over to Footscray and those.

Runs that you were doing in those days, getting up at two three o'clock in the morning and do those runs, I mean there was little or no traffic. You would have presumably gone out somewhere near Dining Road.

Yep, yeah, that's it. It was right next to Dining Road. The you know, the fruit market was there. I'd go in with Dad. We'd go and buy all the fruit and everything. I'd help him load up his truck and we'd go back to.

The shop.

We'd get back about six thirty seven o'clock, you know, we'd unload the truck, you know, or you know, and you know in school whole days there, you know, I'd go and help him.

But yeah, it was you know.

The worst thing was I still remember the cold mornings. Yes, you know, your hands freezing, and back then they'd get colie flowers or cabbages and the guy would stand on the back of his truck and he'd throw them to you, you know, and every time you caught one, you'd feel like your fingers were about to snap off, you know, because they were.

Just full of water and ice in the depths of a cold Melbourne winter would have been chilly. Now, Johnny, I'm going to we'll do this break and I want to come back and talk to Jack. A young Jack would have been a little kid as he got any talent.

Yeah, yeah, look, yes.

Well let me determine that and we'll do that straight after this. We've got John Delosa, We've got Jack Delosa. We're talking about this great straighted family. Business from Family Business Association and we'll have more of the other side of this your calls as well, come and join us. You might be somebody who's been out to those markets

Yeah, I mean the value that you know Non Lord put through Dad. These Dad's put that through us kids. So I'm one of four siblings and three of us work in the business and it plays a huge impact on how we carry our business culture that we do in our family business.

If you look at like you know now that when people come to see us for meetings at our had office, we have literally as you walk into our meeting room, we've decked out well I like.

To call the root room, which is basically, you know, all all the memorabilia, like the roots got the roots of the business. Okay, different generations things make different things.

They do.

So that's that's that's where.

That's where everything turns from from us. So that's it's in our business and run our business.

All of a sudden, many of us want to come around and visit it. Know what I'm saying, I gotta I gotta think that the the heritage of the You say the siblings, and I guess do you look to the next gen or is it too early to the next gen? Do the kids come in as you did Jack when you were little. Do the little tackers now coming grandchildren John presumably and just have a look around. What's grandpa doing, what's dad Jack doing?

Yeah?

Well Jack's got three three girls.

Yeah, I've got three girls under three, three, under three, three, two and six months. So that's that's They're a long time away from that.

But they do like jumping in the little Mercedes Benz by cars and driving them around at shows and things. Yeah, so they're the sale of the century girls on those vehicles.

I guess the sale of the century girls on that. It's very funny. So to either you John and or Jack the challenges in the current climate, what do they look like? How do they show up for you? Because this is not this is because you've been doing well. This doesn't guarantee the next five, ten, fifteen years can instantly be really come to it's a working great question.

Great question because you know, this year we've seen a number of really good transport companies, companies in our industry. Yeah, family that have been around for fifty or years. Yeah, well Don Watson's was around seventy seven odd years and they.

Did it right.

You know, they they treated their staff right, they everything was done right. It's just it's almost like it's a race to the bottom. People undercutting.

It's it's it's.

Hard, especially with all the new taxes and you know land tax. You know, I could spend half an hour talking.

About it's all it is.

We've gone from a few years back on one of the sites, eighty three thousand dollars for the year to I just got it a few months back, four hundred and two thousand.

Well, that's just bulltish, yep.

Yep, And that's you know, how does a family you know pay those things? I mean, we have to pass the class on and then people wonder why their groceries are getting expensive. You know, the government should be looking after businesses because if they give us taxes, get rid of payroll tax, which is another story, get rid of that. Let you know, if we had more money, we would actually what the businesses do, family businesses, they reinvest in

No, they don't. And my great friend and mentor I mentioned earlier was David Hames. I think you would probably know the Hames family from Family Business Association. One of the things David would say, you've got one hundred and forty trucks, one hundred and forty families just in that sector of your business. One hundred and forty plus families that rely on you to continue in business.

Correct.

And then there's fifty odd storman yep. And then there's all the office staff and yeah, yeah, about to fifty yeah.

Two hundred and fifty different families who have still got to pay operating and working with you very closely, presumably proud to do so. And they got to pay school fees.

Yeah, and put food on the table.

And put food on the table. It's a lovely story. I wish we had a bit more time, except to say the challenges for the future. Could you see a clearing? Is it about? Is it about having? One of the reasons we do this is to give people a sense of what the power that family business in Australia has.

Yeah.

Look, look I've got my ways of doing things a little bit old fashioned. Probably Jack's got his way of doing things, which I don't always agree. I mean, he came to me a number of months back he said, our dad, you know, I want to do a podcast, And I laughed at him and he goes, do you want to do.

It with me?

And know, Alex, you know the other the other boy that's in the family, that's in the business. And I said, no, no, you guys go ahead and do it. And you go, Dad, why wouldn't you want to do something with your two sons, you know, the old guilt trip, the old Italian guilt trip. And I said, yeah, okay, we'll do it. And yeah, I've got to say I'm actually enjoying it. Where you know, we just talk about businesses. It's called the c X Show.

Yeah, it's all about put showing a lot of family businesses that don't get spot while they deserve.

They do great in their communities. It's not about the big guys. We like to focus on the smaller, the smaller to medium sized businesses that always get overlooked.

Yeah.

I think in this danage you have to be folks. We have to be doing things differently, and you know where that's a lot through tech innovation as well as you know, marketing. I think you really need to be out there doing that sort of stuff today's.

Days, John as founder CEO and then working with Jack, Alex and the rest of the family. Do you at some point in your own mind and say, at what point do I let go? That is a challenge of family business across Australia.

You know, Tony, you know I'm laughing because I said that two years ago. I said, you know, I'm going to step back. You guys are going to you know, takeover. I'll come in maybe once every couple of weeks. And I started scaling back to three times a week. And then I went overseas with my wife. And while I'm overseas, Jack said to me, Dad, you know the block just

We're in Roval.

Yeah, you are in Roval, which is the area to be for that is sort of a business. I can't thank you enough for both staying up nice and late and do this, and we wish you well in the future. You and I have not met, but I hope we do at some point John and Jack.

Yeah, I'm sure we will.

We will wish you well with the success of the business, a continued success. It doesn't come easy, as the old song goes, but it's a brand that is very, very important. Cold Express just what I've been talking of a text. How important are the drivers to you? And have we got enough drivers? And what are the challenges around drivers as we need them to love them today?

Yeah, look, it's you Ask any person in business, the biggest challenge is getting good staff. Prior to COVID, You know that they were really all the stuff we had were terrific. Then COVID hit and we could not get people to work. A lot of them had to go

Definitely gotten better now, but as data saying, the quality isn't is there before that, But the's something that we're we're working on and we have a pretty good The quality where you've.

Got now is good because they might be listening.

They will be on night Yift. What are they talking about. I'll let you both go great to talk them. We'll do it and catch up at some point down the track, I hope. See that's John Delossa and Jack Delosa. What a business family business associated is called cold Express Family business Association. Nice every company wherever you are, right around Australia for Australia overnight to Tony McManus. So let's go back to some of these great calls. James morning.

Was sad hear that Mike mixed her far I forget his name from Bad Company passed away.

I did not know that. We'll just do a double check. When did that happen?

Monday?

Just in this week?

Yeah, Adi won He was guitarist.

What a what a band? They were, Bad Company and they turned out some hits, didn't they in the sixties into the seventies. Bad Company? Did they record on the Apple labeled? James? I think they did, didn't they?

I'm not sure on that one, Tony, I can't help you on that one. What I do know about him is he had a strike back in twenty sixteen on what what was to be like? Is you know, the last tour and say he's been bedridden since twenty sixteen, all those years.

But you know, I.

Spoke to my other half and I said if I was if that was me, I would say, put me out of my misery, mate, I wouldn't want to.

I would think probably not, I'd have I guess the nineteen twenties. What do you reckon? That sort of feels like it doesn't.

That w You can look at the way she's dressed, if I can just share, So she got a lovely dress on, gorgeous looking. Think you'd only be maybe eight nine in that she's playing with the box of biscuits or throwing it in the air, and her hair is so beautifully done. We don't see that anywhere near as often as we once did.

No, I would say probably Narine. I'll guess nineteen twenties and are very rare and of course, and probably I'll look, it's hard to say it a thousand. Perhaps I wouldn't be surprised it is because it's cardboard, and cardboard was destroyed and you got damaged into her forth so rather than the enamel signs which will last forever. But cardboard didn't quite so much as a big higher failure rate, so therefore they tend to be a bit more expensive.

Special I haven't done any sufficient research, but I'm thinking, was it there not a relationship at some point between it and Brockoff.

Brockoff was a Melbourne brand from Port Melbourne and the fellow who owned it his name was Jack Brockoff, with one of Melbourne's first flying trippers.

He was.

He gave a large part of his fortune away. They may have joined up in you know, later times. I really don't. I don't recall exact I think they probably.

I think may well have taken them out, That's what I'm thinking.

But yeah, because you don't see Brokoff anymore. But anyway, they were, so there we are. So that's that's a nice little story that one.

Yeez, let's take a couple of these calls. We don't want to live in? Why don't we do? Gregg's in shot in the morning, Grego.

Guys, how can we help it?

Rick in books?

You don't do. But I've got a Rosawa of guards. Yeah, and hand WelCom and Armstrong Silly Sapphire, how about that that's a while ago? Well we right about him for a car, really strong Siddley Sapphire. Would you get fifty for that? And I assume it's going to be in pretty reasonable condition because often when people had the handbooks, they they used to use them when they did a bit of repairs, and sometimes they get a bit of a bit of oil and so forth on them. I

I have to be.

Tee.

It's got to go back just post war.

I would have thought, were sure, yeah, I reckon. I would say one hundred plus, and it could be a bit more than one hundred plus. It could be heading towards a couple of hundred. So it's a bit of a bitty glen and there would be people out there looking for that one. For sure.

We had an armstrong Greg, thank you. We had an armstrong Siddeley at home. That is Dad found one back and this is going back in the mid sixties. Board at home we had one of those little car ports, so we put it up. He took the engine out. He had that ability would take the engine out at night.

And he just he was will he was a master.

And yeah, and he loved them the arms strong, silly black, beautiful black, big juicy car. It was just gorgeous, quite a beauty. You say that, we'll come back, plenty of calls one double three sixty nine three. You can jump in as well, Come and join us, Tony McManus. Rick Milne is here, its antiques and collectibles. But don't leave

I think so.

So you've got the gist of it. Rick Milner is a regular contributor and has been for many many a year now. The F one movie, I don't know, we've been following this, Rick Milton gets underway. I think it's been released tomorrow. One of the fascinating things about this is that it's been heavily sponsored, if you like, by because it's about F one, it's been heavily sponsored by

Now that's a pretty good question, hm hm, bond rely, pretty good question. It would have been I saw him as going back years and years ago. It was about a racing car driver who got I think he got a terminal illness. And I have a feeling it might have featured a very young who was somebody has become very famous since. And anyway, it was racing car driver and they and he was timed in his in his in his races, but he got he had he suffered a terminals it was called Bobby Deerfield.

Bobby Deerfield, Yes, and I.

It featured somebody who's very famous now who's done lots and lots of movies, which is I think one of his first films. Look it up, Bobby Deerfield.

Bobby Deerfield. I will the movie f Won, the movie that's inspired by f one registered the movie. It's heavily promoted by i WC. I WC watches and they've got various versions that have been featured in the movie. The pilots watch, the pilots watch Chronograph, the big pilots watch Shock Absorber to Beyond Skeleton, which would be amazing. Plenty of money for that, I wouldn't think, and the pilot watcher performance Chronograph, perpetual calendar, digital date month, a lot

I wonder. So was it like product placement?

It is, Yeah, it would be.

Yeah.

Imagine it would be product placement massively, I would have thought, and they'd be spending a lot of money because Apple's done the movie itself with Brad Pitt I've noticed.

They've done that previously with things like breakfasts or something a manner of things that they placed delicately. In fact, it was one definitely done by Royal Dalton and that was something like a bulldog or something that was on a desk in one of the one of the James Bond movies, as I record, and it took off. It started selling phenomenally after the movie came out. People saw this thing and said, wow, I love it, I want to buy one. Yeah.

It was the same thing with Aston Martin and Bond all those years ago. I mean they were so intrinsically linked forever. Aston and James Bond were one and the same early watch wearing was his role leg So I think in very early Bond movies years later, Lega said well we want to slice that pie. So they poured in and became very closely linked with Bond films.

That's amazing how they ask what they call product placement and the people who who pay for it pay a a large amount of money. I know. That's definitely that Roald Dalton did with this, this one that was I'm pretty sure it was one that featured that English actress that very famous english woman who appeared in quite a few of those sort of films, And and it was on the desk and they've come into the place and they said, oh, look isn't it that looks beautiful? They

Huge And it was the actor you were thinking of, El Pacino.

Yes, what there you go?

The good doctor just said to text through El Pacino. Thank you, good doctor el Pacino. So what do you would that have been in that film that you mentioned?

That would be oh, at least see I'll say thirty years ago.

There you go, Justin and Frankston, what do you got for it? Hello?

Hey, tiny Mac, how are you mate?

What have you got?

Okay?

So I've got something very rare.

I've got a nineteen eighty eight fifty cent coin from Australia. But on the reverse it's got what looks to be like a sailing ship and it's got Australia seventeen eighty eight to nineteen eighty eight, and it's actually got Australia as New Holland.

There it is the nineteen eighty eight commemorative coin.

Presumable they were a commemorative coin and it was one that was available. And look, they've done hundreds of fifty cent coins with all manner of things. On the reverse, it is from nineteen eighty eight rather than seventeen.

Eighty eight, of course, wasn't it. Yeah, And it'll be just a coin from that year, justin it will. It won't be one of a kind they've done. In fact, the very first fifty coin we had was a round one circular one in nine sixty six. That's worth a bit of money, ten to fifteen dollars. But it sounds like it should be with a lot of money, but it's not. So there we are. There's the story.

Good I knew. Thank you for that.

Justin.

It's interesting too. Just going back to the watches for a moment, Rick, is that some of those big Swiss watchmakers now will release a piece, but it will be a limited release, so they may only do fifty five or ninety pieces for worldwide, so they all become very collectible just because there are so few of them being released to the public.

I don't like that. I've never liked it. And I'm not necessarily talking about watches. I'm talking about anything that they release just a handful of to to make up a vast amount of money, because that's exactly what happens. It is, and I'm not for it. I think not quite right. What do you do you feel about that?

Look, I'm not a collector of that sort of those sort of price points obviously, but for those that are, that becomes important. So if we're all X for example, or IWC for the matter, doing a release, chances are it could be an extraordinary piece, particularly crafted to maybe even wrap around an event or in this case of film, and then people will want to get their hands on it very very quickly.

How it travel is. The only people who end up with those things are rich people.

Well, because they go into the market that those price points. I mean, there's not too many people around that are going to spend fifty sixty hundred or one hundred and fifty thousand or more sometimes for something that desirable. Yeah, yes, and you're right, And I just ask Russell Crosse.

I've never quite I do understand limited editions, and I'd rather have, you know, I'd rather have fifty of something than twenty five thousand of something they still call limited editions if you don't mind a dumbline empire. So you know, really I get it that I kind of with something like that worldwide, it really becomes something that a little toy for rich people, isn't it ready?

Nicholas Brunswick, So hello to Rick Milton. Good morning, Nico.

Yeah, well, got in front of me.

It's the Victoria Racing Club Coronation and Birthday meeting on Friday. Sorry, first day, Tuesday of second of June. Official program Might Steen fifty.

Three, nineteen fifty three.

Did you say, yeah, Elizabeth Coronation and Birthday Meeting.

Okay, yeah, Look, the earlier race books do so rather well. In fact, I have somebody's a race book Collctor. In fact, when when we get to it, it's one thing I was goet I mentioned there's race books. So there are people who collect touch things, Nicholas, and you've just got the one, have you.

Yeah, it's it's it's about the size of a.

I know what I know. I know what they are. I'm a I'm a racing person, so I do know that. I do know it. And it's from nineteen fifty three. From it was to do with the coronation.

Was it on the front of it, It's got the crown at the top it's got the Victoria Racing Club a crown underneath it. Elizabeth R. Yeah, that coronation and birthday meeting on Tuesday the second of June nineteen fifty three.

That's a good eat. That's probably worth somewhere about around about three hundred. It's a rather as shame you've done some others, Nicolas, because all that I have to say that will be worth more than others from around about that time. But nonetheless, somebody, generally speaking, when somebody has one race book, they've got one hundred and one race books, but you just get the one. It's been passed the ice haven't been passed down through the family, has it? It has? Yeah?

Just looking here at race four three Coronation Cup. Remember this horse Durham.

Durham.

Yeah, well so that's the top wide in race number four and that was at three twenty pm the Coronation Cup. So it's the full book and it's nearly mint condition.

Yeah, well there you go. I've to giving you a price. I hope that's some help to you. Nicholas.

Good on, Nicholas, thank you for being part of the program. We'll do this when we come back here. Plenty of time vehicles jump on board Rick Milne at his Antiques and collectibles one double three six nine three, Good morning, good I where have you are? Right across Australia. Nice to have yours joined the program. Lck Milne is on a little earlier than usual because I think we used to do it too. Now we do it at one o'clock right around Australia, if you'd like to be part

I don't know that one, and it sounds like it might mightn't be the sort of thing we talk about.

Radio be wrong about that.

That's that's by the way.

I should mention Toney, you've mean mentioned in dispatches. I would have to do a little gig with a little spot with Jackie Colgate and I did so. They rang and said, could you do a little story here? I said, yeah, sure, happy to do it, just for.

Those for those around Australia.

Jackie felt a good mention there.

That's very kind, just for those around Australia. Jackie Felgate is the host of the Drive program on three a W here in Melbourne.

Yeah, yeah, I should have mentioned that. I'm sorry.

That's fine and so so my name came up from jack and your good self.

So I introduced me and I said, well, I do a program with Donny McManus and another spot with Simon and Andrew and yeah, you did get a mention in there. There we go, very.

Kind, Maryland and Franks in the morning.

Your money tiny goes money. If you're telling me I have a cut of rolltop desk, Is there any value in these anymore? With the bean brown furniture?

I need to get rid of it.

Yeah, look there is. And I'll tell you what I'd ask you to do. Maryland. I'll put you in touch with somebody if you call me. Rather than me giving out one hundred phone numbers, I'll just give out mine. And if you'd like to give us a call after well in the morning, so we'll see ten o'clock Eastern Australian Time, eight o'clock West Australian time, Maryland. If you'd like to, I'll give you my number and I can't

Yes, this was my grandfathers. It's timed to downsize.

Wow, yeah, I blame itl What what age approximately do you think that might be? Marylyn?

I would have to be over one hundred years old. My grandfather got it from the old town that I come from. It was the doctor's desk.

Well how about that? Well my grandfather had one too, how about that? That's that's a good story. But yet be able to help Maryland for sure? Or if you give us a call and I've got you got the number? So after ten if you don't.

Mind, Maryland's a great from What were they made? Do we know, Rickle? Did they have various level of timber to make.

Those bell tell you an interesting story. Some of them had underneath made by Commonwealth hands, in other words, made by can we say white hands? That's what they were saying, because at the time they were also making them in Japan and so forth. But it was a bit of the racious side, but that's how it was in those days. And they did actually say it had well and say it.

Do you go, huey crazy? Really hueye in Gaula, good morning.

Good morning?

How are you?

How can we help you?

I rang before to talk about June lock up, but you still on my thunder, So now I'm talking about my antique.

That I have.

It's a metal I'm not sure what sort of metal for this teapot set. I think it may be made of pewter. I'm not sure. Yeah, but it was made in England by Elworthy and Sons.

Is it quite ornate, yeah, very Yeah.

It's got a.

A lead on the teapot which.

Yeah, yeah, I know all about it. I hate to tell you this, yere wee, but they're almost unsellable. These those people don't never use them. When I bet you've never used it.

Now, it's never been used.

It's been in the family, nobody. It's a teapot that nobody ever uses. They're heavy and they're sort of just a heavy metal, really heavy metal. Very they're very ornate. But there's.

Also a milk jag and a little sugar bowl as well.

They're often they're often together. Look they're they're not quite so bad. The the look a lot about one hundred bucks of the lot. I have to tell you, they're not. They're just nobody ever uses them.

They just they never it anyway because it's just been in the family for so long.

Of course, it's always a way. But you know, if I have a teapot, frankly that teapot, I like to use it, you know, and I get it. I do understand why it stays in the family, and it'll stay. It should stay in the family, and it will be it'll be passed down through the generations and that'll sit there and and you you can't do much with fewter You can't clean it up. It doesn't it's not a little silmo one that doesn't work. It's a much heavier

Paid for me.

He bought it as a church fair, and in nineteen sixty five he paid hilling for.

It, right, one shilling. Well, by the way we might explain, one shilling is kind of the equivalent of ten cents, but of course it's worth a lot more. It was worth a lot more then than ten cents is now. Probably. In other words, he's probably paid the equivalent of about five dollars.

Look about what it amounts to the day I got to hue, thank you. I got to tell you though rick a kappa made in a really good pot is still a wonderful thing to be able to do.

Only way to go we use, we use. We're teapop people where we drink great tyes. It happens, and we've got a robot tea button, it's got an infusier and we put two to two spoonfuls in and sort of half a one and it's just the best you've got it, and it's got to be loose to you kind of sorry, sorry folks, but don't They just don't cut it the same way.

So for years I'd pined over the romance associated with land Hue Tea for nothing else had cut off all those bloody lgs and then taken good shop to pick up anyway you used to have to.

You take about one hundred hundred ends off them and you end up with you end up with something like a tea towel that's worth the greatest in history. You didn't win a my s eighties.

So memory is there was a little shop down the back of little Berkshire, somewhere really remote. You go in here, you've got my tea bags. Here, here's the thing. Ah right, I've got a little bowl, Thank you, and off you go. And man was really happy with it.

It cost you more money to get into town and nothing's.

Work on the train. But the so I lashed out and thought, well, I'll just reinvent the idea with some land sheu tea. I can't tell you how disappointing it.

Was, that's true. I know somebody collected I think two hundred and ended up with a crappy old two towel.

These we did by promotions. In my hot little hand. I got a wonderful photo. This is of the North Melbourne Football Club. It's a membership card.

All the love this I have I've put this in on be well as a little tribute to my wife who's a kanga, has been forever and she had a big smile on her face on the weekend. So good luck to her and good luck to the cangas. It's a lovely little card. Just by the way, it's an old membership card from nineteen thirty three and they only joined into the it was then the VFL only joined in nineteen twenty five, so they didn't have a huge didn't have a huge supporter base, and they weren't very successful.

Well, the revenue around membership these days is so important to measure every one of our AFL clubs. But presumably in the early thirties that would not necessarily have been the case.

It was only handful, a handful of members yep, get a handful.

Yep.

Really, and it's changed so dramatically, and now it's just phenomenon yep, many many ways.

Lots of text coming, we'll get to them in just a moment, including two hundred and forty seven thousand as saying Rick starts the program in wa eleven o'clock perth time. Thank you for all those people. I think I said ten thirty for some reason anyway, from eleven o'clock for Rick, which is one o'clock and another one in particular says Rick is now one. Any reason for that, well, only because Rick has other commitments at this time of the morning, and so we've moved Rick to one so we can

Sleep doesn't work, but it doesn't work. It hasn't worked on all of them right down.

He really needs it. We'll do this plenty of time. Jump on board, Come and join us one double three six' nine. Three you must have something tucked away in there about which we will love some. Information you can join us the other side of. This just looking at some of those great, players the one that stands out for me From North melbourne At Rick, Milne Glen.

Archer number. Eleven what a. Player AND i know that no see was some. Player CAN i tell, you very very, quickly a very funny story About North norman many years. Ago the best player for the team won a ten of biscuits and he was, asked once he'd finished the tin of, biscuits could he bring the tin back so they could get their?

Deposit there it, is get the tin back for the, deposit isn't?

It true?

Story true story of the fellow's name was Lez foot and he was quite a superstar and he had to hate the biscuits and return it because they could get their money back on the runny back on the. Tin great.

Story now tell me about this tiny little. Camera it.

Is it is strictly. Tiny if you put your thumb out it would be no, bigger no, bigger tiny tiny. Camera AND i think it's worth and we're getting couple hundred, dollars one hundred tow hundred. Dollars it's a really tiny and it's a it's a real, camera believe it or, not a real. Camera and the next one is even. Better how old.

Would that be? THAT i, mean that looks amazing branded corn?

It, YEAH i would say, Probably i'll say, thirties, thirties. Forties really, yea, amazing isn't?

It't just a gorgeous piece tiny in new.

Order you would have know he'd get the film into. It it wouldn't be my big lumpy. Hands they were no good trying to put the film in that little tiny. Thing and it's really no bigger than your, thumb no bigger than your.

Thumb it's, amazing no bigger than my. Thumb.

Yep and the next one is. Great it's a Cracker Jack harmonica's honeycombs of harmony and this little character AND i reckon he's our little.

Beauty any gorgeous.

Looking and by the, way that's not a huge. Sign that's that would be if you put your two hands together side by. Side that's about its, size which is. GREAT i mean the. Smaller it's a funny thing to. Say the smaller sign is the more valuable it, is because it's so much easier to place than if you've got some gigantic thing that's that fills up half the house that's going to be worth a lot lot less because it's it's, harder harder to show this One i've.

Gus look at that mouthful of. Teeth look at?

Him yeah a few, teeth haven't? We, yep?

Yep you those little toys that we would GET i think literally in A wheaties, Box yes we, did where some people actually get their license from a Bloody wheaties. Box Drive, accordingly, HOWEVER i. DIGRESS i take the, point but remember, THAT i, mean as a, kid we would live for those little toys that would be wrapped in in some sort of foil or plastic or whatever it, was and you'd have to build it and put it together in a little.

County let me tell you that there are two coffee table size books on the subject of those little plastic, toys and some of them if you've got some color variations of certain crater critters or what they did, tullibirds in other, words like a bird with a, saw et. Cetera if you've got a certain color one of the, variations they can be worth many hundreds of absolutely coffee table size, books huge books on those serial. Toys they were so.

Good have you AND i talked about that matchbox? Cars, no we have. Not are they still desirable in any? Way?

Yes they are only the ones that were made in THE. Uk you, know it's an amazing. Thing how companies why do they do? It they, think, OH i know what we can. Do we can make them in The philippines or somewhere else for a lot less. Money and as soon as they've done, that they've destroyed their. Brand and as a, result the ones from later years and where you can actually see the toys through a sort of a perspecus cover on the, front they can actually see the.

Later one of the things we spoke about briefly on the program yesterday towards the end of the program yesterday was the lane way culture around the great, cities particularly In, melbourne but certainly there would have been similar laneway culture

Perth, yeah cricket in, Particular, yeah. Cricket they were the thing for the laneways and the, kids you, know and you'll often see it especially in kind of the inner suburbs where there wasn't two was no parks or anything like. That so they played down the lanes and it was it and a bit of footy as, well and that was, yeah it was something you don't these. Days of, course, KIDS i.

IS i guess it a, Sense. Captain presumably you went through this as a youngster. Too it's a bit of a it's a bit of a. Dream really is a child you think what would it be like to climb up that ladder and spray that hose at a scorching hot.

Fire it's a great it is a great. Job highly recommend.

It did you have that did you have that feeling when you were, little.

Not so much WHEN i was.

Little it wasn't something THAT i, thought you, KNOW i knew from a young age THAT i wanted to. DO i sort of fell into. IT i suppose it wasn't really on my radar being a. Female there's not a lot of women in the. Job we've got about five percent operational. Women and it wasn't until a friend of mine who was a, firefighter said to, me you, know they want women to, join why don't you have a go at, it LIKE i think you'd really enjoy. It so that was how it came about for me and

Career what are the challenges when you make it a? Career, presumably like a lot of us working and you know more about this than most cat it is about shift.

Work, yeah certainly the shift, work so we work two ten hour days and then to fourteen hour nights and then you come on to three days. Off so, yeah there's definitely shift. WORK i, think you, know the thing THAT i love about it the most is that working in a, group like you're on station with the same people you, know and you're basically living on. Station you

Do one of the things in scouts many years, ago they would take us on a couple of, occasions is my recollection to the local fire, station so you can have in those days was all. Boys it's stiff changed now these, days of, Course but you say all these bunch of boys might have been twenty four to twenty five is of the, time all of us the only thing we ever really wanted to do was slide down the.

Firepoles, well there's only one of those left In Operation.

Hill.

Yeah WELL i think that's where we were.

Taken we were taken to The Eastern hill.

Station, yeah, yeah that's the only one that's. Left you, know most modern fire stations now are just a single, level so takes out those the provensity to maybe do an ankle or something like, that do, anicket to do an ankle before you even get on the fire.

Truck you just assumed that these people were really highly.

One that's. Left you, know most modern fire stations now are just a single, level so takes out those the provinsity to maybe do an ankle or something like.

That do an?

Hickel want to do an ankle before you even get on the fire?

Truck nobody ever thought of. That now you just assume that these people were really highly. Skilled they knew when to hit the, pole when to slide down land. Effectively that's.

Fantastic, yeah, yeah So Eastern hills the last.

One, oh they just now been sort of disappointed for those sort of, things those great. Traditions you just talk about young people who may be looking, for you, know a career or. Two i'm sure there be people listening right now that have children and. Grandchildren is it a great? Career how important are those relationships that you form when you're doing that sort of. WORK i can only imagine going to a you go to a triple fatality as an, officer police, officer or a fire you, know a fire. First,

Yeah it is.

CONFRONTING i, mean we're very. Lucky we've got amazing psychological support within the, brigade whether that's peer to peer or in house, psychologists so we can access external psychologists so there is that ability to debrief and that sort of. Thing but, yeah, look it's a fantastic. Career we've got really great conditions that we work. Under we've got you, know it is a dangerous, job but it's done as

I'll let you go BECAUSE i know you want to get a bit of a rest before we get into this first thing on A thursday. Morning i'm really looking forward to.

So well it is YOU listen to the I listened to the apple the way home list of the breaking PROGRAM ON THE, three o w, a, which is great fantastic good.

Which.

Is, Just fantastic redacted.

Well i'm not going to. Say it on it it's a. Four little letter words.

It starts With the point is i'll be fascinating to find out from listeners what they think whether in this day and. Age, IT'S a.

Given look i think we've. All heard it before.

Of course we have it's not particularly class. And it's not new people. Have been doing it there's a great piece where it talks about the HISTORY. OF the word, f i don't know. Have you heard that i'll play that. To you, one, morning it's fantastic okay.

Without saying that word well it it.

Gives you the idea of the history and how many times you CAN use the word f because it. Enhances, so many sentences.

Yeah but you've got to, use that stuff very very very sparingly when. You, are super angry well for if you're someone who doesn't swear much and, you use that word.

It really. Has impact it does have to say.

It all the time. It's every second.

WORD it's just meaningless i went out with for lunch, many many, years ago no names no pactoral except played a pretty, good, game of cricket okay and really a, good game of, cricket and over, lunch every, third word oh, No EVERY third word and i. Kept, thinking OF it yeah, and i kept thinking do you Realize that you are you don't need. To do that anymore you didn't. Need, to do that yeah it was really quite dis and this is, many YEARS ago now but i, thinking at the time you don't need to do.

That better than that they used to say that if you use those sort, of words a lot you don't have much of a, vocab creative.

With, YOU you know yeah i have, a a dear girlfriend one of the first, GIRLFRIENDS of all time toni. Who can use it. And it's almost colorful it's just it's just she. Does it, So beautifully it's articulate it, fits in a sentence and it makes the. Sentence infinitely more interesting.

Writing for the australian alan passed on a note in terms of the storyline. About the time MUSIC were you and? I, TALKING about.

That yes i don't think. They Ever came here.

So allen gave some great background around that and to the recent Passing Of. Cour OF hans paulsen but i wasn't familiar with the time music or so you've just raised ANOTHER one with which i certainly.

Was not familiar, either now a PIONEER you say that, i didn't come here didn't. Come here at all played for a Long Time At the Dominion Theater court In, west end of london But. It didn't come now then there Was a pioneer of australian screen advertising and the. Company still exists today he Lived into a Regular His. NAME was val Morgan I.

COULDN'T read Vell Morgan i Think Rosemary margan and graham Kennedy Used to do vell mulgan ads.

You do the ad Welcome You to The denty theater And Morbial this Is Prince mansfield, and rosemary margan yes now a number announcer used to do.

With the.

D everywhere that's right graham used to do the ad with a leg Of Meat for the south melbourne market that. Nobody seemed to remember do you remember announced that used to also do the charsie By The. Name, Of, JIM hilkey whatever.

Well i can tell You That the great jim Hilkey Is A passionate. Melbourne football club supporter he had an illustrious career. For many many years he was part of the brute force that was Three, k z in melbourne along, with Mister o' Gorman mister hookey was there was a great lineup, of some fantastic people Including Our, Very Own billy panell barry ian all worked in Those days with mister HOOKEY at three k z he's alive and well And Still.

And roller.

Captains, down the. AISLE now other thing i remember three little boys we had that we were rated by a lady in a local cinema when we did not. Stand for The queen that was, that was league law. You had to say And At, the old state bank all the banks had a Big picture of the. Queen with the flag When, Was that ash.

Well i'm not too. SURE it was abolished i don't think abolish is probably a bit. OF a hard work i think it, just became not ah not quite as the requirement. For it from community probably it didn't have quite the same, sense in a bank purely because the. Banks changed hands too they had different dimensions in terms, of their corporate position and it may not have worked for. Them at that time you.

COULD be right there i remember also that they USED to have every taa Plaine Use? Of er elizabeth royal DID they r first taa SEVEN TO SEVEN V h T G a Tango Julian Alpho? Or Sir james hook and I'm Sure they had elizabeth? Royal And the plane? Could, I'm be Correct.

To watch the whole.

Interview it's, quite in life it.

Was it was pretty compelling but the question is will his will his his. Sort of throb of followers will they be enlightened to hear the leader of The Free president of the united states as swearing. In, FRONT of the camera.

Look i think he's done.

That before and his followers has he done that. In front of the camera.

He has done things when he didn't know, that the microphones WERE on, especially during the covid periods with all sorts of. Things that came out then but his followers.

Don't care what he.

Does they still follow.

Him there in lies the problem for. ME that, they should care i mean that's what happened when another another person Was. On the rise in europe his followers didn't care and supported. Him.

And, it didn't, End well no that's right but the?

Interesting should we should.

Care they should care. About who's leading the nation.

You're, treating me LIKE your mark, NOT unless i DON'T know i promise.

You i, Don't, Mean To do that jen but i'm having a robust discussion. About a pretty important issue and you know that, people should care, what house they.

Should care they should.

Care but The interesting thing Is that trump has put. Natato in the, Naughty corner he's not happy he's not made it quite clear in that longer, interview if you watch it And He Can, see his nobel peace, prize and he You know. He knows the, trump magnificent no one could no one can. Do things better than him.

But Who has not done?

What trump told him to hasn't He Been nominated for the, nobel peace pros not yet but he reckons.

HE'S going to be.

Well i, thought he had been nominated but no other country Had Nominated Him. For, the nobel peace, prize WELL they might HAVE and i think And i think, it was pakistan who said Because, HE'S done a.

Standing jobstan i Think it was Really.

Oh last night when we, were TALKING about lame ways and i called the.

The.

Truck oh did you okay the dummy, men they would.

Come up there'd be three there'd be two doing. The, cans AND one driving yeah and i think the, driver was a lucky.

One, JUST you, would think so i mean, it must. Have been amazing, AMAZING work and you know i remember the days when the. Rubbish bins would be collected they were usually steel bins and. You put two out there this is a, long time before you know we had. Those big council rubbish bins you had to, buy your own rubbish bins so, you put those out there and then there'd be two or three people to. Each truck emptying the bins as the, year truck would go.

Along we'd, have one.

One.

Person emptying a one driving and if one of the things back in those days was that sometimes you lose.

The lead of your.

Bin you wouldn't lose it the garbage, men would lose the, course they'd run over it and then you had to get a new bin because you couldn't. Buy Just the lid separately. Mitchill ins didn't sold separately, they did in the seventies but back. In, the sixties they.

Didn't yeah different time a jan always. Good to have a yak thank. You have a good one see lots, Of text coming in religions tony make should. Be, Banned for many reasons well i'm not really sure. THAT you can ban religion i. Don't believe in that. Either you can't ban religion people have always been. Somewhat religious and or spiritual but, when you think about it you've got two point eight thousand different versions. Of this thing called.

Just, be a.

Bit careful morning.

Good morning it has been said that all religions. Have one thing in common. It's called the golden mean, if you heard.

Of that just remind us we.

Can be pushing two versions one version is do unto others as you would, have them do unto you and the other version is? What is hateful to you. Do not do, TO others.

My father says i do unto others before.

They, do, IT to YOU.

Well yes i mean i. Think, that's where. Wars, start actually isn't it.

WELL well maybe it doesn't i don't know that, he ever started a war but. He always took the view he always took the, view in relationships and business do unto others? Before they do unto you?

Is it? A, business principle IS it well that's anyway i think. We should turn to. Communism, if, THAT'S the case well.

No i don't KNOW it is about common i think it's just a strategy that meaning.

We should turn, we should turn to communism if, that's THE principle of capitalism which. I, don't think it is?

Actually, WHAT do you mean sorry i don't. Understand the reference to? Communism well didn't you say?

What did you?

Just say due to?

Others what was it against so the theory the theory was it, WAS a. Throw a light i guess but he would often say and do under, it would, be quoting that you, know misquoting if you like do unto others. Before, they do unto you yes that is that.

Referring to, OUR capitalist. System that's so i, Said, if that's the.

Case well that's the system that's that's that's the, system, in which.

We, WORK though isn't it well i, think if that's the case it's a good methods for good. Reason, TO turn to communism no.

I don't know that. That's the case at all who would want to go down and? Live in a, communist situation. Communist a nation communist, Economy that, was a joke oh.
