You're listening to a 1FM podcast. Ah, morning rituals. Finding slippers, popping on the kettle. The smell of toast, having your day ruined by the bloody plastic wrap on the Shepperton news. The wrap is for sandwiches, not newspapers. Friday's 8 a.m., a time for Saccato and Plemmo, on 1FM 98.5, unless she's late again. Someone's calling you a day. I'm guessing that's Nicola on the line. Are you there, Nicola? I am. How are you going this morning, Plemmo? Oh, very tired, very cold. A little bit grumpy. How about yourself? That's fair. Look, that's a fair mood. It's end of the week. You know, you're ready for the weekend. I completely understand that. Poor and insane. Yeah, it's been a big week with news. Natalque week, of course, going on. Yes, yeah, big, big week. Natalque week has been happening this week. We've seen lots of events happening around. And they have the grumbler and Natalque opening market on the weekend. I believe it's what's happening today as well. And we also saw someone who was also living in Murr's now. He was in Murr's now. A elder anti-neural bandwidth, one NAIDOC personal big year, which is very exciting. What kind of work does she do? Or does she do? Yeah, so she's a chief executive of the Victorian Aboriginal Child and Community Agency. She's also the chair of the Secretariat of National Aboriginal and Ireland and Child Care. And she's on, like, various committees for Aboriginal welfare as well. So, yeah, she's done heaps kind of in that space as well. And she was nominated and won that award. And that's a very interesting story. I believe it's in today's paper. And, yeah, just that our generalist, Taylor Baker, wrote about just to, yeah, a bit of interesting stuff about picking apricots in Murr's now. So it's a very interesting story on how she got there. Yeah, truly inspiring, too. So, yeah, so it's been a lot happening in that space as well. And it offers huge week. Now, the school holidays are just about wrapped up. Did you cover anything to do with the school holidays? Yeah, yeah, we had our photographers out and about typing some photos, just as activities happening in the area. There's a gallery, there's actually a few galleries if you grab today's paper. About just different school activities happening that have been able to capture some extra that. So, yeah, there's been hates. But now it's back to school next week. So I'm sure there's plenty of parents that are either probably pretty happy to send the kids back, or the kid probably might not be so happy, but... Time to have a sit on the couch and a quick nap and a glass of wine for a lot of parents out there on Monday morning. Yeah, that's it. So, yeah, so that's coming to a bit of a wrap. Now, there's been a tragedy, a car accident. Yeah, yeah, unfortunately. It was a fatal accident out at Messiah yesterday. And just a bit before noon, it happened. There were two occupants in the vehicles. In one of the vehicles, they died at the scene. And another two occupants were taken to hospitals in the other car. But I believe that there's an investigation through the cause of the collision and it's ongoing. Well, let's hope the two people that are in hospital will be OK. And, yeah, our condolences to the ones that have passed, I believe, it was a lady. I won't say a name on air, and it was her brother in the car. Yes, I'm not aware. I can't confirm or perhaps you're not too sure, sorry. But, yeah, it's one of those things that's very unfortunate. And the state that the roads can be into, it's just all a bit. We've seen so much of that around here in the Golden Valley. And it's just very departmenty. We keep hearing. And I believe there was another one out of our Chester last Friday. So, and I was off that day, so I'm a bit aware of the details, but I know there was one out there last Friday. So it's just, yeah, it's just kind of a really, yeah, a bit of a sad week or, yeah, for the Golden Valley. Well, let's talk about something a bit brighter. Let's talk about budgie smugglers and swimwear. I'm not sure why these smugglers are all in the order to be solved, but there's a lot of the porn I see McDonald's is she launched her snippet. There's a fantastic story by our journalist, Bri Hardy, and yesterday's paper, I believe it was. And she started her swimwear brand. She started during COVID. Is that right? Started during COVID. Yeah. It's called full bums. Yeah, full bums swimwear. And she's actually gone over to the Miami swim week this month. She's gone over there to, yeah, to not a lot of them show off her swimwear. So, which is like huge, for several reasons. Starting with, starting in producing COVID, like crazy. But, yeah, and for it to be successful enough to be able to get over, I'd be shown at Miami swim week is huge. So, yeah. That's fantastic. I like your creative people. Yeah, it's good to hear stories of innovation coming out of COVID, not only out of COVID, but out of this area as well. It's absolutely fantastic. Well done to her. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Now, did you say something about SEMA? Oh, yes, yes, sorry. Councilman and SEMA is getting back from Council. She's not going to run until others as well that have come out to say that as well. Yeah, a bit of a feature with some of her, this week in kind of her eight years over in Council. And, yeah, so, yeah, it's going to be interesting to see in the upcoming elections how the dynamic's going to work. We've got quite a few people that have come out to run for Council so far. We have a few more this week and it's been, I think we've got, I could say probably eight or nine. It could be seven or eight. So, we've got a list on our website as well of all the Council's sort of come forward. Oh, Council can sort of come forward. We've got a few profiles up there, too. Yep. And, you know, there's people out in the community that are running for Council and they haven't reached out to us yet. Reach out to us because we're doing profiles on the campus. But, yeah, so, yeah, so, yeah, it's going to be interesting to see how it goes with the ward structure. What are your thoughts on the ward structure? I don't really have many thoughts on it. Now, the young fella Farron. Is it Farron or Farron? Yeah, no, Rowan Farron, yes. He's very active on social media. He's doing things running for Maroona. Is it the Maroona electorate? Yes, yes, that wards there. Yes, he was a few, contented with him in that area, too. So, but, yeah, it would be very active on social media. Yeah, he's out there bringing up some subjects and everything is quite open. I will have to get him in for an interview at some stage. And we also have, well, our lovely friend, Terry Cowley, running for Cuyalla. Yes, yes, that's right. A former radio presenter, she's, you know, we did a profile on her this week as well. Okay. So, yeah, yeah, she'll be running as well. So, yeah, there's quite a few people in the community that are quite well-known that, yeah, most people would know that it's set forward. So, it'll be interesting to see the election, so. Yeah, well, I do know with Terry that she has her finger on the pulse of everything that's going on. And she would be fantastic, absolutely fantastic. If I lived in Cuyalla, I'd vote for her. Let me put a tear like that. Now, out at the Move Museum, a tucker tornado, tell me all about cars. Do you seem like a car chick? Oh, look, I think you seem like more of a car person than I do. But, or trains, trains is more your thing, isn't it? Oh, probably cars. Little bit of train on the side, yeah. Yeah. So, what is a tucker tornado? It's a very, so it's quite a rare car, because there were only 51 filters of them. And there's only 47 that remain. And there's just one in Australia. And at the moment, it's at Move, which is pretty cool. And, yeah, so it's a very kind of rare car. I believe it's kind of, so it was built, like in the 1940s. Yeah, 1948, yeah. Yeah, there you go, there we go, there you go, you're all over it. Yeah, often incorrectly referenced as the tucker torpedo. Yeah, and it's a, yeah, well, it looks a bit like a, like an early Ford Mercury. It's actually quite a nice car, I like it, I like it a lot. It's a little bit strange looking, it looks like it's got, it's one of those ones that has a headlight, I think, in the middle, so it has one either side and then one in the middle. Yeah, yeah. Have you been out to see it? I haven't, I haven't gone out there to see it, I usually wait a little bit and then go out with this venture. I feel like I've been to move quite a few times, but I have to go, I'm just gonna wait a bit and then when, you know, so this might be an opportunity to go back again. So, but, yeah, no, I think it's pretty, I think, I think I'm wrong, but it's quite futuristic. Like, it has quite, like- For its time, yeah, yeah, for its time. For its time, it's really got that, yeah, it's got that sleep loop, like, almost like a, the older kind of fighter jets and it actually almost, I don't know if you'll understand what I'm saying or anyone else would, it almost, at the back, it looks like it's flared and it almost has a wide-body kit, well, actually at the front and the back. What that means is, where the wheel arches are, it actually, it flares out quite dramatically. But that's it, how long is that there for? Oh, that might be a question that I don't know. Okay. Yeah, I'm not actually too sure, but I would probably, I'd probably get down there while you can. Yeah, definitely, definitely. And I've got to say, you're saying that there was 51 of them built and there's 40-something remaining. 47, yeah. Yep. That is- That is an absolutely incredible survival rate for a car, only to lose a few. That is absolutely incredible. And that's, yeah, you have to get down there and check that out. It looks pretty cool. It's a cool-looking car. I've got to say, I'm not sure whether I'd drive it, I'd probably crash it myself. I'd back into something and it'd lose its value. Now, speaking of things where people feel like they've lost their value, which they haven't, they just think they have the homeless. What's going on? Yeah, so there's just been a report this week, report has covered in that you've got services that are helping the homeless in Shepherd and they're under a huge amount of pressure. And it's only increasing as the crisis losses in the region. There's been such a demand for, you know, private, rental, public and social housing and it's- That's nothing. That's more on high. Yeah, and there's just nothing around? No, there isn't. And apparently more than half the 2,079 applicants currently on the Victorian Housing Register are deemed priority cases and that's the, yeah, so which is kind of a bit scary because you've got, like, people have kids, it's just like one person, it could be anyone. You can make living in a car fun for a while, but sooner or later you're going to get over it. It's really unfortunate and I guess in my position where I'm crawling through town at 4am in the morning, there are a lot of homeless people out there sleeping in doorways and stuff like that. I really do feel for them in this kind of weather. It's quite unfortunate that we don't have somewhere where we can help them. So there's plenty to read about homeless, the homeless situation in the Shepherd News this week. Is that? Yeah, I believe that one was earlier this week. Earlier in the week. Yep. But it is on our website. There's a full report on what's happening here and how you can help by, like, you know, donating to food share as well to those sort of things. So, yeah. Every little bit helps. Every little bit helps. Now. Absolutely. To end on a bright note. Let's talk podcasts. Yeah, so we've got, I've been doing, I've been doing a podcast of the past month or so digging deeper and we kind of look at kind of just issues in the area. Could be a national story that was kind of brought to a more local level. Could be a local story and, you know, we just kind of, like, the title suggesting deep thoughts into it. Yeah. So, yeah. So we've done things, you know, we've done stuff on, and in fact, they have done stuff on us. We could use one on nuclear power, that will be a lot in the news and we had one of our local men who was actually over in Scotland at the time that Chernobyl went off and had a radioactive ray come down on him. Holy cow. Yeah. And that's like 2,000 kilometers away from Chernobyl. Yeah. So, it gives the impact of huge and so, yeah, so we kind of talked about that. He had a bit of experience in the chemical industry as well. And so we, yeah. It talks about that and the coal, which is supposedly to a future. And then this week, I had a bit of a chat with Pete Getty, who's one of our chefs at his paramedics. He's one of 40 that were poor from the state to, yeah, just spread across the states as a new paramedic graduate. And he had to talk a bit about his job and he was, yeah, just what he loves about it so far and his experience in that industry. And, yeah, I also had a chat with the Colley Bell, who works over at the, she's also a guy, I don't know, but she's at the, she's over at the Victorian ambulance unit. So, we had a chat on union negotiations and where that, where that starts. So, that, that was in this week's one. So, it comes out every Wednesday at 6.30 in the morning, but, yeah, free to access too. So, that's, that's even better. How? Now, now, if somebody wants to take a listen to your podcasts, how do they find them? So, on our website, under our podcast section, and it's all free to access, you won't have a paywall pop up or anything like that, and, yeah, you can just access them through there. We've got to move them over and Spotify as well, so that'll be up and going in the next week. So, that's, that's at the SHIP News website, and I guess on the SHIP News app as well. Yeah, yep, and on the app, yep, on the podcast, you'll find it. Yes, so, it's an exciting stuff coming, coming ahead to make multi-media, so, yeah, so, too. I'll have to get on there and take a listen sometime over the weekend, and I might pick up some tips on how to announce and ask questions from you. Yeah, that's pretty heavy. I might not be that good at it though, you've been doing this a lot longer than me. Well, you know, we'll let, I'll take a listen, and then I'll decide, well, look, thank you so much. I know you're busy this morning, and thank you for calling in. I'll let you go on your way, and we'll keep it safe out there. Yeah, you too, but I enjoy the rest of your morning and have a good weekend. You too. Thank you very much, Nicola. That's Nicola Cicado from the Sheppeter News, with a bit of a wrap up on what's been going on. And yeah, as you heard, she's got a podcast going on over at the SHIP News website. Make sure you check it out. You've been listening to a one FM podcast.
