The Monday Preamble (01/07/24)
Ryan Reynolds here for I guess my hundredth mint commercial. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Honestly, when I started this, I thought I'd only have to do like four of these. I mean, it's unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month. How are there still people paying two or three times that much? I'm sorry, I shouldn't be victim blaming here. Give it a try at midmobile.com/save, whenever you're ready. $45 up from payment equivalent to $15 per month, new customers on first three month plan only, taxes and fees extra, speeds lower above 40 gigabytes of CDTails. Breakfast with Tim Payne and Brent Costello. Welcome to the show for a Monday morning. No Tim Payne this morning at his Brent Costello, flying solo painting is somewhere I don't know. Well, I don't know. Actually, I actually don't know where he is. All I know is he's winging his way to London and he should arrive there. I don't know the next few hours or so, but an ideal replacement at the desk this morning, not for the whole show, just for the preamble. Hamish spent our star producer. Good morning. How are you? I'm good. Thank you, Brent, about 10% of Payne's personality and 2% of his wage, so he could be on the show this morning. He's coming with a zinger. I don't mind that. I don't know where he is. He did say he may have Wi-Fi and we could potentially give him a call, but I just looked him a message and no response as yet. So we'll wait and see how we go with the great man. But he rang me yesterday before flying out, actually, and was talking about the trip and how long it is. But he was actually looking forward to it because he believed he'd get upgraded to first class. Well, he talked to me as well about potentially running into the shine. He made the point, or at the front of the plane, they have good Wi-Fi. So I don't think he has a concept of an economy seat or what it's like to be at the back of the plane with screaming kids. So I think he's only a business class, first class operator. Oh, for sure. But I think it's important to point out he was originally hopeful of potentially doing this show with his kit in Dubai airport. I had some reservations about because I wasn't sure how well he'd go to sitting in a business lounge as we've all his kit there. But I suddenly had the revelation that I should actually look to see if he'll be at the airport by the time it lands. It turned out he was about five hours out when he was supposed to be here. Time management is not our man's thing. He just can't seem to get that sort of his life sorted out. I did some digging hammer. How much do you think a first class ticket to London would be from Brisbane where he was flying out of? How much do you reckon that would cost the normal consumer if you were paying for it? Obviously he isn't. Well, as you point out, he's not a normal citizen, but I'd have to think of getting you maybe into the low five figures potentially. I guess it depends on the airline. Yeah, looking at, well, yeah, cheapest I saw was British Airways. That was $12,829. But you're looking probably on average around $19,000 one way, Brisbane to London, which is extraordinary. But he was telling me he's going to have a shower on the plane, get this first fine dining food, have a sleep obviously in a bed like he'd be absolutely loving that. So, thoughts with him this morning, not. How's your weekend anyway? Well, it was very good because I got to go to the Melbourne Mavericks game on Sunday. We were both working there. We'll talk about it a bit more seriously. Lating the show during around the state, of course, Mitch Carlson are from Netball Tads joining us. But I have to admit, as a producer, I was a bit worried this morning because towards the end of the game, I'm glad to see you have a bottle of water. Because the voice started to crack. Sometimes we call each other to talk about the show. You better give the focal cords a rest because not even during the jack-jumpers game, have I heard the voice crack. And you're lucky that Flash and Fiona were commentating, otherwise that audio of the Foys break would have definitely gone in the preamble, but I couldn't isolate it. So, I would text him on the hardcore's open line or let us know if you heard Brent. But in all seriousness, he did a good job and it was a fantastic atmosphere. It was the chorded answer/MC for those that weren't there and don't know. And it was a ripping night. The Mavs have got big jack-jumpers vibes, haven't they? Obviously a new club starting fresh. And the win was awesome, like winning in the dying moments. The crowd erupted, didn't they? It was awesome. And I'll tell you what, this is still going around in my head. This is the Mavs team song. Link just pay a bit for us if you don't mind. [Music] That was wringing around my head all day yesterday, Hammer, and still was this morning. It was a very catchy tune and the girls just get up and about for it, don't they? After the game, they, I've never seen bigger celebrators in the Mavs. I love it. Absolutely. Well, I've been interested to ask that my state Bankarena staff how their celebrations compared to the jack-jumpers, because I saw a few water bottles flying around. They also seem to like the song "All We Do" is win. I've heard that on the podcast a couple of times and they were celebrating. I think the big question after Friday's show when you asked them about the theme song is, have you looked up what a baddie is yet? Because they do it. Well, it did. It's a bad guy, isn't it? Or a bad girl? Well, I think it's more like a baddie. It's more like if you're good or very good at something or will admit I'm not well-first with the definition. But certainly they seem to get around it with their singing and something that was to read to seeds that I reckon about a quarter of the crowd was just parked around the court afterwards. Yeah, magnificent. Selfies and water crowds were in high demand. Absolutely. If you're at the Mavs game on Saturday night, let us know what you thought on the hardcore. It's open line this morning. 0-4-3-7, double-5-2-5-3-5. Oh, give me a call, please. Ring in and have a chat, 1342-15-33. Harcourt's more than just real estate professionals. Now, you wanted to bring something to the table this morning or is that it? No, I actually do have something. Out of interest and probably a long shot, but obviously in the media world, it can be very connected. Do you have a previous beef with Thomas Mitchell at all, the culture reporter at the age and Sydney Morning Herald? Oh, no. Not the collingwood, creme-shit, play and form a brown low medalist, but have you heard of Thomas Mitchell? I haven't, why? Well, I was just going through X and sometimes I was aware I might get the call up today. I was thinking what material I can have and thankfully this landed in my lap. It was an opinion piece. On me? Well, something's concerning you because the title is, "You can't order hot chocolate as an adult and love our unspoken coffee rules." Right. I have to say, it's a pretty scamming takedown of people who drink hot chocolate. I'll put my hand up as a fellow non-coffee drinker, but I usually go the glass of water, which not only gets weird stares from the person I'm out with, but also an evil glare, I think, from the waiter there because I think you're just trying to get taken advantage of the free water. But basically he goes into this article and he talks about an experience with a coffee and he says, "After ordering my regular normal drink, a large, sweet, flat white, my colleague asked, can I get a hot chocolate?" I said, "Can you, yes, should you? Absolutely not." Yeah, I've never had coffee and I don't feel the urge to. People do need it, don't they, to get themselves up and about for a day, typically. But I've never had that urge and I do like a hot chocolate hammer. I'm not embarrassed to admit that. A lot of people do. If you like a hot chocolate, if you like a hot chocolate over a coffee, let me know. Harcourt's open line this morning, 0437552535. I know I'm in the minority, but I think there's a few out there like me, Hamich. Well, not according to Thomas Mitchell, he says, "Having a hot chocolate does make you a bad person." Goodness me. And he says that, you know, basically you're admitting that if you're having a hot chocolate, you're enjoying a little treat during office time. I will admit that. Thomas, I do enjoy a hot chocolate. I don't drink them regularly, but I have to say he must really hate this colleague of his. There's an opinion piece of space around just an innocent colleague ordering a hot chocolate. Yeah, that's stiff. That's stiff. I've never done that to you. I need to say that whenever you've wanted a hot chocolate, I've happily accepted it. So thankfully, I'm not Thomas Mitchell. No, goodness me. Thomas, I'm going to have to give Thomas some feedback. Hey, early texting here on the Harcourt's open line from David of Launceston. "After North Launceston demolished Kingbra on Saturday, do you think anyone can beat them in Season 2024?" I don't. I actually don't. I mean, maybe they'll lose a game, but I don't think they'll lose the premiership. They'll win it comfortably, I think, at the moment. Well, I think the most concerning thing is I'd say the two, seven teams who are next in line, in terms of contendership, or Clarence, and then probably a little below them lauded down both times they've played. They've absolutely smashed them, so at the moment, it looks like daylight or you can think of is maybe an upset on the day, or if they get a few unlucky injuries. And of course, it'll be at this stage in Launceston to the Grand Final, so they'll have home ground advantage to the bombers unless something goes drastically wrong. So no, I think North Launceston very hard to beat David. Now, I had a bit of a dilemma this morning, Hammer. You might have noticed I was slightly late. I'm normally here around the 630 mark. Probably wasn't here till 640 this morning. I had to get an Uber this morning because my car's getting fixed at the moment. So I've called the Uber, I've jumped in, and I've got probably 250 meters down the road, and I've gone, "Oh, mate, I'm so sorry, I've left my keys at home." Do you mind if we turn back? And typically, if you're in a cab, that would be okay because the motor's still running, but Uber obviously give you the price before you get in. So is that good etiquette or not? Do you think? Because I felt bad that he had to turn around. Obviously tipped him at the end, a nice tip, but is that okay to do that? Do you think? Oh, I think so. You said it was only a street or so. Yeah, it was. It would be a bit different if you were on the high lane and said, "Oh mate, sorry, I forgot." But no, I think it's fair enough. No, your personality would have been very apologetic about it. I reckon it's tin painted. It happened. Get me back to my home right now. Yeah, he would have been in the gift. Hey, before we wind up at the preamble, I just want to look at the AFL ladder with you because it is quite extraordinary what I'm looking at at the moment. So sitting well on top obviously on 52 points, Carlton, second 44. Then from third down to 13th hammer, three manals on 38 and Hawthorne in 13th on 32. So we've got six points separating third versus 13th on the ladder. It is unbelievably tight at the moment. Absolutely, and it's an interesting ladder because obviously at the top you have Sydney even though they suffered a loss that the dock has still, I reckon, a few steps above everybody else in terms of their form. Carlton look a level above. Down the bottom you have West Coast and North Melbourne. To be fair to the rules they do look more competitive, but pretty much every team between there. Few people have said a couple of times, but this season you can't rock up to a game expecting a win regardless of the ladder position and probably the weekend's game shacked it up a bit more with that dockers upset, sons taking down the pides and even Jelon who left no longer likes. I'm going to go through each team here. I want to yes or no if they can win the flag. Okay, Sydney? Yes, absolutely. Carlton? Yes. Free manal? I'll say yes, I like the midfield. Essendon? No. Jelon? No. Collingwood? Yes. Port Adelaide? No. Brisbane? Yes. The moment. Bulldogs? No. But I think they could make a deep running things go right, but not win a premiership. GWS? I got to say no at the moment. I think their form, I thought initially it was a just kind of speed bump and I thought they might have corrected their, after getting that great win against Port Adelaide, but the last two weeks have been pretty concerning, especially loosing to the cries even away. They shouldn't be loosing that. Gold Coast? No, they can't win away from home, but they should make finals, in my opinion, from here. Melbourne? No, without Patraka too hard. And Hawthorne? No, but if they make the finals, Gee, I reckon their team, you wouldn't want to co-op even if they're seven for eight because just so young, no fear, they could certainly create a few headaches. We'll have to look at our top 8s maybe on Friday and see how we're tracking because mine doesn't look great I don't think for memory, but we'll see how we go. Hey, we've got a massive show this morning on SEM Tazzy Breakfast. Lots of guests joining me here in the studio. Sports been us to Nick Street. It would be great to see how Nick's going and talk all things sport with him. SEM's own Jerrod Waitley will join me for a chat too. Lots of things going on in the wide world of sport at the moment, so we'll talk to Jerrod about everything that's happening. He's off to the Olympic soon, so it'd be good to get his take on what he thinks will happen over in Paris. Netball Tazbon, SEM, Mitch Colson, after the big night at my state bank arena on Saturday with the Mavericks taking on the lightning. And new Tazzy men's rep coach, Kingborough's and Trent Bormla will join us as well after there. Unfortunately loss up in Launceston on the weekend. Maddie Reed will join us as well from Taz Racing. So Tim Payne may not be here, but we've got an absolutely healing show for you this morning. Harcourt's open line is open for you. Text me in 0437 5552535. I'll give you a call 1342 1533. Harcourt's more than just real estate professionals. It's breakfast powered by Kubota. Take on any job with Kubota's range of tractors, mowers and utility vehicles. Right after this we go around the state. (upbeat music)
