Three minutes past seven o'clock and a big warm welcome to Essie and Tassie Breakfast for a Friday morning and my shoulders are a little less heavy this morning because I look down the screen and live via satellite from beautiful noosa is a man who's safely back in the country, nicely cashed up, too, if you don't mind, from his family over in England. It is the great Timothy Payne, nice to see you, my friend. Good morning, Brent. Good morning, everyone. Great to be back. Certainly not cashed up, Bruno. Love of the game. As you know, same as my work here on the radio. Unlike yourself, Cassie's Costello, what's being happening? I have missed you. I'm not going to lie. Do you have missed me? Yeah, OK. Oh, good. Good. Miss Timie's interrupting us when we're trying to have conversations, all sorts of stuff. So it's been good to be back on pre-show this morning for a bit of a catch up. That was quite funny this morning, Tim. So you were talking to me through my headphones and Hamish's over in the corner talking to me. And what did you say? It reminded me of my kids at home. It's like every time you sit down with your wife and start having a conversation, you know, when the kids just barge, you can just start talking over. It's like, Charlie, we're talking, mate. So Hamish reminded me of that this morning. So I did say, Hamish, just let the adults speak for five minutes and we'll get you in. So he took it well, though. He did take it well. He takes all our shenanigans well. Hamish. How are you? Welcome back to Australia. How was your time in the UK, first of all? It was fantastic. Brent, I actually very much enjoyed my time playing with guys that I haven't played with for a long time and having a bit of fun off the field as well. I wasn't sure what to expect going into it. But I think it's fair to say. I think a lot of the guys were the same. We were like, oh, we'll go and see what it's like. But I think by the end of it, all of us were trying to sign up for installment two next year. We had a great time. Fell a couple of games short, which wasn't a bad thing in the end because we were dropping like flies. But no, it was great fun. And I think from all the feedback that I've got, it actually went down pretty well, particularly in the subcontinent, as you can expect. And the enough, he's like you and Hamish, you obviously set up with your campaign 36 shirts on and watch every ball. So there's a little exclusive for us. You're back next year. We can mock that in, can we? Well, I'll be trying to. Yeah, I think so. I think there's a bit of water under the bridge there. But I believe they've signed a sort of five-year deal with the TV networks, and it will be in England each year, which is a bit of a bonus. OK. For the love of the game, Tim, I like it. Yes, absolutely, Brenna. Absolutely love of the game. Although, I must admit, this is a little bit pre-- I thought of you yesterday. I might have to ask for a little bit more money yesterday because I did stroll down around the noosa shop yesterday. OK. And I'd grabbed a $5 no and a dollar coin out of my thing. Just very quickly, I thought, I'll grab a coffee. Walked into a place, Brenna, on the noosa junction, said, can I please get an almond latte with an extra shot? But a small. How much do you reckon it cost me? $9.50. $7.50, Brenna, for a small coffee. Yeah. I thought I was in Monaco. Cost of living, Tim. It's getting all of us, isn't it? I'll tell you what, so. Lucky you cashed up now. I just went straight over the road to Coles and bought myself a bit of Nest Cafe and thought that'll be the end of it. This is a man that's just $500,000. Oh, please. And he's gone across the road to Coles. And I know, again, I know this wasn't planned either, but do you know what's really popular up here? Is those, like, e-bikes? See, some of them look like motorbikes. You can get other ones just look like mountain bikes. And you can sort of pedal along and change your gears to help you go faster or help you get up hills. They've got a little throttle that you can put your thumb down and you don't have to pedal at all. They go about 25 kilometers an hour. And people sort of ride them on the roads or on the footpaths. But because everything's quite close, you can just cruise around. So I thought they look awesome. And I'm going to have to fit in. I'm going to go and buy one. How much do you reckon an e-bike costs? I'd say expensive if they've got a motor or anything. Well, it's a battery. It's a battery. OK. I sort of went in thinking, look, if I had the end of that, bike with a battery, isn't it? I thought, and you know, when you go and get stuff and you don't really look at the price, because you just think I'm just going to go buy one. So I got one thinking that I'd probably spend maybe $1,200. I thought that would be like top-notch kind of thing. So you get to the thing. And then the old price thing comes up. So what do you reckon a half of these have won costs? Well, two or three grand? Mm. Three in a bit. Yeah, OK. And you're telling me you went and bought it without looking at the price? Well, I thought, you know, I wasn't that. I sort of thought, I liked that one. Had to look at it. And you know, when you get to the counter, it's almost too late. And I was like, oh, is there any there a little bit cheaper than that? Then I go, yeah, this one. So anyway, I ended up going down a model. But yeah, still I was blown away by the price of an E-bike. Now, the question for you, when you came back from England, did you turn left? Or did you turn right when you got on the plane? I had business class flights. OK. Yeah. So you could turn right. OK. Yes, they're very big. I think we're upstairs, actually. So we're on the top deck. I think the very front top, I think, was first class on the way back. And yeah, I didn't know anyone in there. So I couldn't go and try and smooth my way. But it was actually, it was a full flight. I want to read you this story, though. Very funny story, though, because I flew back here with Beni Lachlan. Remember who played for the Hurricanes. Of course I do. And Superstar. Tigers. And unfortunately, with what happens a little bit in the album constantly seems to be a little bit of a hierarchy kind of set up. So I was up in business class, and I'll bet he was in economy. Oh, no. So I said, if you get stuck in your seat after 20 hours, I'll have to come down and pull you out, because he's trying. And he was driving you back. And to rub, sold it to the wound in the semi-filing, tore his calf. So it was a long trip home for Beni. And then also, when we were leaving the hotel in the morning. So we went down a couple of the owners, and his posse came down and said goodbye. He came down, and we were just standing there. And he gave me a gift. And I opened up, it was a Burberry-coloured shirt. It's worth about 700 pounds, Brent. And so I got that, and then they just shook Beni's hand and said, say, like, oh, yeah. So I said, because we're both up in noose and out, we can share the shirt. So I'm sure that's what they wanted us to do. Could you perhaps wear the shirt for us on Monday morning, till we can have a look at it on the show? Put it on for you. That'd be good. Now, the reason I ask you about your flight, let me read this to you. I'm not sure if you caught up with this yesterday, but here it is. The AFL says it is extremely disappointed, a four-hour flight carrying Fremantle players and staff ran out of water, 30 minutes out to take off, which left passengers without working toilet facilities. The Dockers were travelling back to Perth on a chart of flight after they lost the Hawthorne in Launceston last weekend when the incident unfolded. The WA Transport Workers Union said, "The situation forced cabin crew to manage the situation "by manually scooping toilet waste into Basins, Tim." This led to passengers being forced to use Basins for urination, highlighting a severe breach of basic hygiene standards the union says. This is outrageous. It's horrific. Just a quick one though, Brenna, before I do answer that, text lines going this morning already. The hard court's open line said, "Anything less than four or five K for an E-bike "is a piece of crap to you." Well, I've got a piece of crap then, but it felt good. I'm not down high. I should have done some research, but Brenna, a couple of stories there for you. So, I have been on buses where that's happened. Oh, dear. In India, you would just rise to here. And then, secondly, I think we discussed this the other day, didn't we, off air, and you wanted me to tell the story of what happened in Birmingham last week. Well, let me lead into why we wanted to discuss that. So, this triggered me back to last week's show. So, we do the two-hour show together. This must have been last Friday. And you get up to leave and you've held a bottle up in your hotel, in the hotel with all the other players, full of urine, Tim, in this bottle. And you've sat there and weed into a bottle for the whole show. And you think, and how can you ever doubt my commitment to the show? What happened was I went down in the team room, got locked in, couldn't get out. You didn't get locked in, that's lies. I got locked in the team room, had to message someone to try and get out, and it was already midnight. So, in the end, while I was waiting, 'cause we had a five-minute break, I was busting to go to the toilet, and I couldn't, so I just had to neck the water, that I couldn't sit still, I couldn't think, I was in all sorts of trouble, so anyway, I had to do what you have to do, but I've done it before, Brian, I've got a form with this. And I think a few people would have heard this story before, but we had England nine down in the Manchester test, going back a few years in the, basically the one that would have, would have not won us the ashes, but we would have brought the ashes home from England, and I don't know if you remember, but it was dark, and we were having some light issues in that series all the time, there was a huge rain cloud coming, and we were behind on our overs, so we're in a world of problem, and I had to go to the toilet, and we just didn't have time to lose, so I'm standing next to David Warner at first sleep, and I just said, "I'm just gonna have to go." But he's like, "You couldn't." I said, "I'm just gonna have to go." So between balls in the ashes test match in Manchester, I actually wet my pants. - I didn't. - You did not. - And I remember David, he was kneeling tears because you could see it, 'cause obviously your creams are slightly creamy, but not as much as dehydrated. You're on, if you like, Brian, I say, what happened was, did that, must have been a good luck charm, 'cause the very next day over, Josh Hazel would hit. Big Overton on the pad, we won the ashes, I had to run off the ground, jump in the shower, throw that kid in the bin, and come back out for the presentation. - Now, let me just backtrack here. I wanna get this straight, because a lot of people listen to this show, a lot of cricket scribes, Tim, you're telling me, in that test match, at the end, you were busting to go to the toilet, and you, the Australian captain of that moment, were himself on the ground. - Yep, correct, and I think I've told this story publicly, it's probably even in my book print, which I'm sure you've read, but I didn't know what to do. I couldn't go off, we'd already, remember the years before we'd lost over-rate stuff, and it cost us playing in the World Test Championship, the ashes was literally on the line in that moment, we didn't have demons to spare, there was a massive rain cloud coming over the stands, and it was getting dark, and for a lot of that series, we'd come on and off because of light, and I thought, I'm not risking this, I am not risking this. Sometimes, Brenna, you've got to put the team first, which I'm starting to see you do a little bit more you and Hamish, and I'm rubbing off on you both, but the same with in Birmingham in the team room, sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do for the show to go on, and for you to get the results that you need, so, I hope that you've been taking note. - I'm tipping there'd be vision of that somewhere, we've got cameras on everything these days, obviously we picked up the sandpaper back in the day, Tim, I reckon if we looked hard enough, we'd find that vision of you wing yourself. - Probably, probably, although I did go the cross leg technique. - But sleep funnier. - Look at another image in my hair. - It just looks like I'll be standing there, I reckon, just looking around, you'd probably bet a camera on Davey, they would've thought, what is going on here. - Oh, he's back out, man. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I do a trip for the Freo Doppers. - No. - I mean, we're talking about one person here who's done it, we're not talking about how many people would've been on that flight. - Oh, goodness. - Was it just, yeah, probably, there's a few hangers on us. - Grow men, well hydrated men, guys that would've eaten it, hell a lot of food when they came off the field. Mate, they were going in the sinks, weren't they? I mean, that just would've been a, oh, that is a mess. - Horrible, well, it's good to have you back, Tim. For stories like that, that's why we missed you the last few shows, nice to have you back in town. We got a big show this morning, and we loving your tech so far in the hardcore. It's open line, another one there from David too, which we'll get to after the break, but if you'd like to get to us this morning, 0437, 555-2535 is, hey, excuse me. - Oh. - Hagging Texas on the hardcore. It's open line more than just real estate professionals, of course, and you might have a question for our key guests this morning. Scott Roth, the Jack Jumpers coach will join us in the studio in hour to get your questions in now for coach. Big week for the Jack Jumpers, Tim. We'll talk about that after the break. Also joining us this morning, Ryan O'Keeffe, the 2012 Norm Smith Medalist, Tim is coaching the Sydney camera site at Utah State in tomorrow, so looking forward to chatting to him, Tim Strap. - It retails main in connection as well, Brent, doesn't he? - Does he? - No. - What? - Well, I thought he might've been dating Princess Mary there at some stage very early, but... - Is that right? - Oh, that happens a bit. - I mean, we can, I'm not sure. - Maybe that one's off limits. - Well, it'd be rude. Not so if he's joining us on a Tasmanian show. - I'll say, I'm going to find out there. Tim Strap will join us to the coach of the Tezi Tigers women's hockey team, the squads were released yesterday, which we're looking forward to chatting to Strapi about. And also, Matty Reed, Stapper, will join us to talk all things racing, so we're going to be... - Well, we'll go to the brim today, Tim.
