Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well, our show started in a feisty manner this morning. Well, actually,
before we came on air, I was saying, let's have
a look. You were looking at a map and I said,
can you show me where people yesterday got confused? And
where actually this this spaghetti network, which is the biggest
in the world, the biggest I think it's the biggest underground.
I think it's the biggestraction in Australia, but I think
(00:26):
also in the world. Very confusing. Can you show me
where it's designed to go? And let's see why it
was confusing? And you the screen of the computer was
pointed towards you. I couldn't see over your shoulder. I
couldn't see where the cursor is. And I said, you
said here it is here and I said which bit?
You said, why am I even doing this? You don't
know maps. You are so rude to me. So anyway
that we came on air like that, No, you were
(00:49):
quite rude, to the point where one of our producers said,
this is confusing, please be nice. And then we came
on air and you were very disparaging about people's confusion yesterday. Yes,
you were, Let's have a listen to a few minutes ago.
You do have no sympathy for the people who had
trouble yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I don't know because I didn't go that way.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I've used other tunnels and managed to go into the
tunnel and.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Come out the other side. Okay, so it's not like
anything amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Well it was, And the sign said toll and the
bit if you just want to use the new road
to scoot through and go into the city, there is
no toll attached to it. So people balk thinking, oh,
is this now a big toll road? So there was
a lot of confusion. They are changing the sun.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Big toll road. Don't go in here.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Wow, Brandon. So you think you're great, but the rest
of the population.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Say the words that I'm great.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
But you think it was you didn't. What about the
other bit? You think the rest of the population are idiots?
All those people had trouble yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I reckon I could get on my bike get to
Anzac Bridge to say, you know what I'll do and
prove all.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Those people that they're idiots. Why were you even posting
about this.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I'll go from here and do a circuit. Well, I'm
a rag on my bike.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But the bike is not indicative of how people felt
in the traffic yesterday. So here's what we're going to do.
I've arranged the WS van. You are going to leave
these premises. We have equipment set up there so you
can cut. Why don't rub your face so you can
co host the show with me from the van. Were
going to film all of this that it will be
on our socials. A producer Megan will be with you
(02:23):
and let's see how bad it is for people try
to do this trip.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So you're putting me in a logo branded.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Van, hanging out icy cold cancer coat.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
With producer Megan who thinks Chris Mins is politician hoist.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, you've never been on any of her lists.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
What's that challenge? What's the challenge you're going to get
to Anzac bridging back?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well, yeah, it's not a challenge. It's just for you
to experience what people went through yesterday.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I experience it every day.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, and you say I have no problems. Let's just
see how it feels to be in traffic. It might
give you some empathy about having you That would prove
nothing in the it's the smart Alec that has to go.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Okay, look at you.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Fine, So so do you want me to do some
who's going to do all the DJ bits we've recorded.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
You from the eighties. We just play out some bits
that you got from there. No one will know, you know?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Okay? Well, and what so we got the equipment equipment.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
You're going to go the equipment workshop.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You organize this.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You're going to be co hosting the show with me
from the car.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Where do I go?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You're going? Now? Okay, give us your last time call,
go for it. Make it a big one, because you've
annoyed me today to experience life as people do in
the traffic in Sydney.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Boom.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Right now, I'm broadcasting from the w SFM Prize Mobile
and I'm coming to the Lane Cave Tunnel at the moment, Amanda.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well, this is great because you got in the car.
The reason we're doing this is that you seem to
have not as much sympathy as I thought was appropriate
for the people who were stuck around the Rosell interchange
and confused by it today. So you're in the car
and you're making your way towards there. From the minute
you left to you see where am I going? I said, no,
you have to sort this out yourself, because you think
you know everything. So we're doing the show with you
(04:12):
from the car as you make your way through traffic.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So I'm heading into the Lane Curve tunnel now and
everything seems oh, we've gone underground. I know it's okay
because you're so wrong. I'm driving in the Lane Cave
tunnel right now. I just realize, if you're listening to us,
you can toot your horn.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
There's one.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, that's one listener.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
How they recognize you in the big WS van there's.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Carl Sandlin's on his storm mat.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Eh, Kyle, does he wonder what you're doing? I'm sure
he does.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
He thinks I've stormed out as well.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, you've stormed home in the WS van.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I wanted to make a discreen exit.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So I've taken this ginormous vand with a picture of
you and me on the back, and we're driving through
Lane Cave Tunnel, which is great.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, we're going to be doing our show with you
in the truck in the traffic and seeing how you go.
You're loving it. This is great. I'm glad you're loving it.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I'm in the tunnel, Amander. It's all okay.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That's the Lane Cove Tunnel. That's the bit that's been
there for years. You've got to draw drive towards a
bit that only opened yesterday. Okay, Now during the seven
o'clock news, we've recorded what happened, because this conversation unfolded
off air.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I think we're going the wrong way. I just realized
we're going the.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Lane Cove Tunnel. I told you to take Pittwater Road.
I told you to turn right.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I've forgot about Pitt rod Or. Yeah, that's sad.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
What's going to happen now?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
No wonder.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's an easy drive for you know where near where
you're supposed to be. Oh, you idiots?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Okay, okay, well I would like to play Megan for this.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
No, you boasted, No, Brendan, you've boasted that you know
every road. Before you left, I told you which way
to go. You boasted you know Citney like the back
of your hand.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Because you didn't get me diregged.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You didn't say where I was supposed to go? Can
I come back the other way?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So you left here probably thirty minutes ago from North
Ryde and you're in Lane Cove via Mossman.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
We went to mos fron first.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
So I've been to mos I'm that good. I've turned
it around, I've come back and now I'm in lane
cave all right, And I was trying to work out
a work I'm using.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
There's no sat NAV in this car? Did you know that?
Did we not get the good package on this thing?
All right?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
So you're trying to make your way to Victoria Road track.
You see if you can see Jonesy in the traffic's
in the big WS van. Give us a honk. There
you go, our one follower. All you've done. I've been
listening to you is winge about what the roads are like,
(06:56):
how you know, terrible it is to drive a car.
This is how it is for our people every day.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Well I'll just say this, Yes, motorcycles are great because
this is Look at this.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, what's going on? Come on matey?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well you know, yeah, you're an aggressive driver at the
best of times, but you're in the wrong place. So
hopefully you will now make your way towards Victoria Road.
You've wasted half an hour going to Mossman.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I wanted to go in and see Miffy. Mamma.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
She's still stuck at the interchange from yesterday. Well, yes,
all right, we're going to follow your progress Brendan as
you make your way towards where you're supposed to be
half an hour ago.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
The can you nag me a bit more about this?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, let's see how you go.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Broadcasting to you right now from what's his right Victoria,
we're up near the Dromoine McDonald's. We were talking to
our caller yesterday to James your chaff. You've been stuck
for forty five minutes. So we're now coming up to
Dramoye McDonald's. There's a bit of traffic here, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Oh you've cut out there.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
So Jonesy this morning I felt was a bit offhand
about how hard it had been for people yesterday. He said, look,
I've been in out of tunnel's how hard can it be.
So he's in the ws van as we speak. He
got lost this morning heading from North Ryde to Victoria
Road and went via Mossman. But it sounds like he's
in Dramoine right now. If you see him, give him
(08:27):
a honk. Here's a small snippet of what he was
saying when the song's were on. Listen to how Beautifully
and calmly he drives.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Am I going the lane cove, Yes, lane Cave tunnel,
letting our fellow murderer's sin.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Ye can't raid rage in this car, can you? This
is fun? Who would have thought I'd be driving the car?
Makes you think I'm a good driver?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Let em merge, I let them merge. Hello. We're going
to take Jacob from PARAMOUNTA this morning.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Jacob doing it very well. So what's actually happening at
the interchange this morning? Is it as bad as you yesterday?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
No, it's actually much easier. So I'm just about to
get to the Iron Cove bridge just in front of
Burkenhet Point entry area there, so looks it looks pretty easy.
It's moving slowly, so yeah, it's much better than yes Yes,
I was pretty wayful. So I think maybe everyone's kind
of learned where they did to go.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I took a chance yesterday and just went straight in
into that tunnel and I was on the airsay reach at
no time, So I think just people not knowing what
to do.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, that's right. And there was a big sign that
said toll, which made people think they'd have to pay
to do that, because in fact they don't they've changed
the sign this morning.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Thanks?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
I think that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Thanks, Jacob Jonesy's on now on the phone in the van.
Hi Jonesy joke wasn't confused or anything, was he No,
because he said that today was a lot better than
yesterday and people seem to know what they were doing.
How are you finding the road at the moment?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Well, coming down to Birkenhead Point, which you like because
you had some memories around there when you were in
your early dating years.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Brendan, why do I tell you anything?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I want?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Pashed a guy near Birkenhead Point and Jones is trying
to make that an issue right now.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
It's not an issue.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Although I've just seen an old sandman paddle van sitting there,
a young man, well, middle aged man, small.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
As long as he was getting a bargain at Bergenhead
Point all those years ago.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I'm sure got a bargain under the Iron Cove Bridge.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
So what's actually happening on the road, Brendan, Oh.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
Well, the traffic is very very very thick.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Can't this cargo on a bus lane?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I don't think so is the bus No, I don't
think you can look, thank you. We've heard from Jacob.
Now let's see what Brad has to say in Hunter's Hill.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Hello Brad, morning guys, Amanda. Actually I'm not saying in
the morning to Jonesy anymore. I was in the lane
cove time of this morning. I had the radio off
because I just wanted to concentrate. Diddies are out there.
And then there was a big black fan behind me,
tailgating me, and he was close and I pumped the
brake the bit to stop to get him moved back
(11:19):
a bit. I didn't stop, so I've had I've moved
out the way. Then I realized it was actually Jonesy.
I'm gone, sez the wooz. I mean you should get
back on your bike, Jonesy and income. I don't think
you can drive over. I'll stop for a coffee because
my hands are shaking.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Be there by now.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Yeah, I'm having a tiny little maid there and nearly
ran over the top of me.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Mate, Brad, Thanks you easy, Jonesy, take it easy? You
heard Brad take it easy?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Are you easy about this?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Are you struggling driving?
Speaker 6 (11:52):
And I'm talking to.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Sounds like you've had a few drinks. You haven't stopped
at the pub. Have you alright? He's passed out. How's
it going?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
You're okay, way good, that's okay.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
If cops cops, I can he produce a Megan cops cops. Well,
you boasted about how easy it was going to be.
You couldn't even get onto Victoria Road this morning. You
will by a Mossman.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Listen, my friend, we've just crossed over an Zack Bridge
and now we've done a U turn and we're coming
back on Anzac Bridge.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Did you mean to.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, yes, we did so, Yes, we did so. I
think from what we've heard, today is easy than yesterday.
But do you think that the road works? Is it
a good system?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
What a great system? It's fantastic. I like the inside
of the tunnel.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I really feel that the daycore is very suitable and
it looks good.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's very cool.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
It took you a while. The hard thing for you
was going from Lane Cove to Victoria Road because you
went via Mossman. But most people wouldn't make that mistake,
so it probably does.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Okay, what time did I leave?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
You left it about six quarter two, back quarter to seven.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Okay, So now I am heading back to the bosom
of work.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, I missed the tunnel. What have you done? Have
you missed the tunnel to come back?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
No, that's going to the Blue Mountains. I don't go
to the Blue Mountains.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Ah yeah, okay, yeah, So what's happened? You were talking
to me and I missed the turn off? Right?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
So are you heading to the Blue Mountains?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
No? No, we're going back on Victoria. We're going back
on Bell Maine.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
So we went through the tunnel one way and now
we're going back the other one.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Would you think it's a little confusing.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Not at all. I'm doing a radio show. I'm doing
a radio show. I've got Meg.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yelling cops, Cops, cops.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I'm driving a that six times bigger than what I
usually drive in the world of motorcycles, and I've had
no problem, and I've got you piping.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
In in my ear, so I've been fine.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
It's still a hero. Brendan. Tell everyone who muscle and
when you see them on the way back. I don't
know if he knows that we've been recording him also
while the songs are on, because we'll have a listened
to the conversation I've just heard from inside that car.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I think the city side as the fools that can't
work out how to drive the Leasha buddy looking at me?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
What's he looking at? Bash him? Look at me? Mate?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I think we're off here, but.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Sorry, I know I'm here.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 5 (14:41):
I'm telling you to the McDonald's lady, and I'm talking
to you at the same time. Amanda's sorry, Hello, Hi,
I was just can I get a stimpla white coffee?
Do you want to skin blat white coffee? No cappucino
and then Armond cappuccino. You have chicken nuggets?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Jonesy? Do you know what I want?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
What do you? What do you want?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Can you go through the Can you go through the
whole menu and tell me what they've got? Is there
any soup?
Speaker 6 (15:11):
No, there's no soup.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Do you want to toast a sandwich? What about a barbecue,
bacon and cheese toasting? That looks good?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
That sounds nice? Can I have one of those?
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Yep? And that? Can I get two of those? Please? Yeah?
And a hash brown. You've got a pregnant lady back
at work.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's not me.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I did buy a pregnancy pillow, but I'm not pregnant.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
And nuggets?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
So do you have nuggets?
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah? Can I get like a big pack of nuggets? Like,
what's the biggest one? Yeah? How many nuggets?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
All right, well, this is going nicely. We don't have
to hear our entire order. What time do you think
you'll be back here? Well, Jonesy, can you hear me?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
We have.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Twenty that'll be all right.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Well as you can hear, we are putting in our
Macca's order.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
So you're welcome. By the way, for what got you
that cheese and bacon total sandwich. I'm not a big
fan of that.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
It doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it
a bit too sweet?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
How's the nugs going? Mate?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You didn't get me a drink nor me anyway? Welcome back.
We've missed you.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I've got a bit of heartburn now from the macas.
What a morning we've had. We've heard you road rage,
we've heard you threatened to bash an eshey, and that's
all just incidentally, while you thought you're off air, you've
been to Mossmansan and all parts in between. You've been
to Paradise, but you've never been to me.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I must have bet I haven't driven in peak hour
of traffic for a long long time.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
In the morning. It is. It's quite a slot, it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Absolutely is, and I think about that every morning. For
everyone who listens to us captive audience great, but the
fact that the stress that it puts everybody under. Sydney's
not an easy city to live in. We think of
you every day.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
We want to do it. Let's not crazy on it.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Look I went from here to Mossman.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
You've lost your empathy already.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
And then back and then went across the Anzac Bridge
bridge fish markets.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Are you paid by the infrastructure people?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
And then I look at that I'm still here broadcasting.
So I'm just saying, let's all, let's all just harden
up a bit.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Wow. If you'd like to tell Brendan how you feel
about your morning commute, please feel free.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Buy a motorbike. They're great.
And Amanda jam Nation.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well, our show started in a feisty manner this morning. Well, actually,
before we came on air, I was saying, let's have
a look. You were looking at a map and I said,
can you show me where people yesterday got confused? And
where actually this this spaghetti network, which is the biggest
in the world, the biggest I think it's the biggest underground.
I think it's the biggestraction in Australia, but I think
(00:26):
also in the world. Very confusing. Can you show me
where it's designed to go? And let's see why it
was confusing? And you the screen of the computer was
pointed towards you. I couldn't see over your shoulder. I
couldn't see where the cursor is. And I said, you
said here it is here and I said which bit?
You said, why am I even doing this? You don't
know maps. You are so rude to me. So anyway
that we came on air like that, No, you were
(00:49):
quite rude, to the point where one of our producers said,
this is confusing, please be nice. And then we came
on air and you were very disparaging about people's confusion yesterday. Yes,
you were, Let's have a listen to a few minutes ago.
You do have no sympathy for the people who had
trouble yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I don't know because I didn't go that way.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I've used other tunnels and managed to go into the
tunnel and.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Come out the other side. Okay, so it's not like
anything amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Well it was, And the sign said toll and the
bit if you just want to use the new road
to scoot through and go into the city, there is
no toll attached to it. So people balk thinking, oh,
is this now a big toll road? So there was
a lot of confusion. They are changing the sun.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Big toll road. Don't go in here.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Wow, Brandon. So you think you're great, but the rest
of the population.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Say the words that I'm great.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
But you think it was you didn't. What about the
other bit? You think the rest of the population are idiots?
All those people had trouble yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I reckon I could get on my bike get to
Anzac Bridge to say, you know what I'll do and
prove all.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Those people that they're idiots. Why were you even posting
about this.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I'll go from here and do a circuit. Well, I'm
a rag on my bike.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But the bike is not indicative of how people felt
in the traffic yesterday. So here's what we're going to do.
I've arranged the WS van. You are going to leave
these premises. We have equipment set up there so you
can cut. Why don't rub your face so you can
co host the show with me from the van. Were
going to film all of this that it will be
on our socials. A producer Megan will be with you
(02:23):
and let's see how bad it is for people try
to do this trip.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So you're putting me in a logo branded.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Van, hanging out icy cold cancer coat.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
With producer Megan who thinks Chris Mins is politician hoist.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, you've never been on any of her lists.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
What's that challenge? What's the challenge you're going to get
to Anzac bridging back?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well, yeah, it's not a challenge. It's just for you
to experience what people went through yesterday.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I experience it every day.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, and you say I have no problems. Let's just
see how it feels to be in traffic. It might
give you some empathy about having you That would prove
nothing in the it's the smart Alec that has to go.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Okay, look at you.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Fine, So so do you want me to do some
who's going to do all the DJ bits we've recorded.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
You from the eighties. We just play out some bits
that you got from there. No one will know, you know?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Okay? Well, and what so we got the equipment equipment.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
You're going to go the equipment workshop.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You organize this.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You're going to be co hosting the show with me
from the car.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Where do I go?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You're going? Now? Okay, give us your last time call,
go for it. Make it a big one, because you've
annoyed me today to experience life as people do in
the traffic in Sydney.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Boom.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Right now, I'm broadcasting from the w SFM Prize Mobile
and I'm coming to the Lane Cave Tunnel at the moment, Amanda.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well, this is great because you got in the car.
The reason we're doing this is that you seem to
have not as much sympathy as I thought was appropriate
for the people who were stuck around the Rosell interchange
and confused by it today. So you're in the car
and you're making your way towards there. From the minute
you left to you see where am I going? I said, no,
you have to sort this out yourself, because you think
you know everything. So we're doing the show with you
(04:12):
from the car as you make your way through traffic.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So I'm heading into the Lane Curve tunnel now and
everything seems oh, we've gone underground. I know it's okay
because you're so wrong. I'm driving in the Lane Cave
tunnel right now. I just realize, if you're listening to us,
you can toot your horn.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
There's one.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, that's one listener.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
How they recognize you in the big WS van there's.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Carl Sandlin's on his storm mat.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Eh, Kyle, does he wonder what you're doing? I'm sure
he does.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
He thinks I've stormed out as well.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, you've stormed home in the WS van.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I wanted to make a discreen exit.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So I've taken this ginormous vand with a picture of
you and me on the back, and we're driving through
Lane Cave Tunnel, which is great.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, we're going to be doing our show with you
in the truck in the traffic and seeing how you go.
You're loving it. This is great. I'm glad you're loving it.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I'm in the tunnel, Amander. It's all okay.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That's the Lane Cove Tunnel. That's the bit that's been
there for years. You've got to draw drive towards a
bit that only opened yesterday. Okay, Now during the seven
o'clock news, we've recorded what happened, because this conversation unfolded
off air.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I think we're going the wrong way. I just realized
we're going the.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Lane Cove Tunnel. I told you to take Pittwater Road.
I told you to turn right.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I've forgot about Pitt rod Or. Yeah, that's sad.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
What's going to happen now?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
No wonder.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's an easy drive for you know where near where
you're supposed to be. Oh, you idiots?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Okay, okay, well I would like to play Megan for this.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
No, you boasted, No, Brendan, you've boasted that you know
every road. Before you left, I told you which way
to go. You boasted you know Citney like the back
of your hand.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Because you didn't get me diregged.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You didn't say where I was supposed to go? Can
I come back the other way?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So you left here probably thirty minutes ago from North
Ryde and you're in Lane Cove via Mossman.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
We went to mos fron first.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
So I've been to mos I'm that good. I've turned
it around, I've come back and now I'm in lane
cave all right, And I was trying to work out
a work I'm using.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
There's no sat NAV in this car? Did you know that?
Did we not get the good package on this thing?
All right?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
So you're trying to make your way to Victoria Road track.
You see if you can see Jonesy in the traffic's
in the big WS van. Give us a honk. There
you go, our one follower. All you've done. I've been
listening to you is winge about what the roads are like,
(06:56):
how you know, terrible it is to drive a car.
This is how it is for our people every day.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Well I'll just say this, Yes, motorcycles are great because
this is Look at this.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, what's going on? Come on matey?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well you know, yeah, you're an aggressive driver at the
best of times, but you're in the wrong place. So
hopefully you will now make your way towards Victoria Road.
You've wasted half an hour going to Mossman.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I wanted to go in and see Miffy. Mamma.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
She's still stuck at the interchange from yesterday. Well, yes,
all right, we're going to follow your progress Brendan as
you make your way towards where you're supposed to be
half an hour ago.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
The can you nag me a bit more about this?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, let's see how you go.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Broadcasting to you right now from what's his right Victoria,
we're up near the Dromoine McDonald's. We were talking to
our caller yesterday to James your chaff. You've been stuck
for forty five minutes. So we're now coming up to
Dramoye McDonald's. There's a bit of traffic here, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Oh you've cut out there.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
So Jonesy this morning I felt was a bit offhand
about how hard it had been for people yesterday. He said, look,
I've been in out of tunnel's how hard can it be.
So he's in the ws van as we speak. He
got lost this morning heading from North Ryde to Victoria
Road and went via Mossman. But it sounds like he's
in Dramoine right now. If you see him, give him
(08:27):
a honk. Here's a small snippet of what he was
saying when the song's were on. Listen to how Beautifully
and calmly he drives.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Am I going the lane cove, Yes, lane Cave tunnel,
letting our fellow murderer's sin.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Ye can't raid rage in this car, can you? This
is fun? Who would have thought I'd be driving the car?
Makes you think I'm a good driver?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Let em merge, I let them merge. Hello. We're going
to take Jacob from PARAMOUNTA this morning.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Jacob doing it very well. So what's actually happening at
the interchange this morning? Is it as bad as you yesterday?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
No, it's actually much easier. So I'm just about to
get to the Iron Cove bridge just in front of
Burkenhet Point entry area there, so looks it looks pretty easy.
It's moving slowly, so yeah, it's much better than yes Yes,
I was pretty wayful. So I think maybe everyone's kind
of learned where they did to go.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I took a chance yesterday and just went straight in
into that tunnel and I was on the airsay reach at
no time, So I think just people not knowing what
to do.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, that's right. And there was a big sign that
said toll, which made people think they'd have to pay
to do that, because in fact they don't they've changed
the sign this morning.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Thanks?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
I think that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Thanks, Jacob Jonesy's on now on the phone in the van.
Hi Jonesy joke wasn't confused or anything, was he No,
because he said that today was a lot better than
yesterday and people seem to know what they were doing.
How are you finding the road at the moment?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Well, coming down to Birkenhead Point, which you like because
you had some memories around there when you were in
your early dating years.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Brendan, why do I tell you anything?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I want?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Pashed a guy near Birkenhead Point and Jones is trying
to make that an issue right now.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
It's not an issue.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Although I've just seen an old sandman paddle van sitting there,
a young man, well, middle aged man, small.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
As long as he was getting a bargain at Bergenhead
Point all those years ago.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I'm sure got a bargain under the Iron Cove Bridge.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
So what's actually happening on the road, Brendan, Oh.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
Well, the traffic is very very very thick.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Can't this cargo on a bus lane?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I don't think so is the bus No, I don't
think you can look, thank you. We've heard from Jacob.
Now let's see what Brad has to say in Hunter's Hill.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Hello Brad, morning guys, Amanda. Actually I'm not saying in
the morning to Jonesy anymore. I was in the lane
cove time of this morning. I had the radio off
because I just wanted to concentrate. Diddies are out there.
And then there was a big black fan behind me,
tailgating me, and he was close and I pumped the
brake the bit to stop to get him moved back
(11:19):
a bit. I didn't stop, so I've had I've moved
out the way. Then I realized it was actually Jonesy.
I'm gone, sez the wooz. I mean you should get
back on your bike, Jonesy and income. I don't think
you can drive over. I'll stop for a coffee because
my hands are shaking.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Be there by now.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Yeah, I'm having a tiny little maid there and nearly
ran over the top of me.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Mate, Brad, Thanks you easy, Jonesy, take it easy? You
heard Brad take it easy?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Are you easy about this?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Are you struggling driving?
Speaker 6 (11:52):
And I'm talking to.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Sounds like you've had a few drinks. You haven't stopped
at the pub. Have you alright? He's passed out. How's
it going?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
You're okay, way good, that's okay.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
If cops cops, I can he produce a Megan cops cops. Well,
you boasted about how easy it was going to be.
You couldn't even get onto Victoria Road this morning. You
will by a Mossman.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Listen, my friend, we've just crossed over an Zack Bridge
and now we've done a U turn and we're coming
back on Anzac Bridge.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Did you mean to.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, yes, we did so, Yes, we did so. I
think from what we've heard, today is easy than yesterday.
But do you think that the road works? Is it
a good system?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
What a great system? It's fantastic. I like the inside
of the tunnel.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I really feel that the daycore is very suitable and
it looks good.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's very cool.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
It took you a while. The hard thing for you
was going from Lane Cove to Victoria Road because you
went via Mossman. But most people wouldn't make that mistake,
so it probably does.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Okay, what time did I leave?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
You left it about six quarter two, back quarter to seven.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Okay, So now I am heading back to the bosom
of work.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, I missed the tunnel. What have you done? Have
you missed the tunnel to come back?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
No, that's going to the Blue Mountains. I don't go
to the Blue Mountains.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Ah yeah, okay, yeah, So what's happened? You were talking
to me and I missed the turn off? Right?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
So are you heading to the Blue Mountains?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
No? No, we're going back on Victoria. We're going back
on Bell Maine.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
So we went through the tunnel one way and now
we're going back the other one.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Would you think it's a little confusing.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Not at all. I'm doing a radio show. I'm doing
a radio show. I've got Meg.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yelling cops, Cops, cops.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I'm driving a that six times bigger than what I
usually drive in the world of motorcycles, and I've had
no problem, and I've got you piping.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
In in my ear, so I've been fine.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
It's still a hero. Brendan. Tell everyone who muscle and
when you see them on the way back. I don't
know if he knows that we've been recording him also
while the songs are on, because we'll have a listened
to the conversation I've just heard from inside that car.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I think the city side as the fools that can't
work out how to drive the Leasha buddy looking at me?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
What's he looking at? Bash him? Look at me? Mate?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I think we're off here, but.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Sorry, I know I'm here.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 5 (14:41):
I'm telling you to the McDonald's lady, and I'm talking
to you at the same time. Amanda's sorry, Hello, Hi,
I was just can I get a stimpla white coffee?
Do you want to skin blat white coffee? No cappucino
and then Armond cappuccino. You have chicken nuggets?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Jonesy? Do you know what I want?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
What do you? What do you want?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Can you go through the Can you go through the
whole menu and tell me what they've got? Is there
any soup?
Speaker 6 (15:11):
No, there's no soup.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Do you want to toast a sandwich? What about a barbecue,
bacon and cheese toasting? That looks good?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
That sounds nice? Can I have one of those?
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Yep? And that? Can I get two of those? Please? Yeah?
And a hash brown. You've got a pregnant lady back
at work.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's not me.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I did buy a pregnancy pillow, but I'm not pregnant.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
And nuggets?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
So do you have nuggets?
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah? Can I get like a big pack of nuggets? Like,
what's the biggest one? Yeah? How many nuggets?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
All right, well, this is going nicely. We don't have
to hear our entire order. What time do you think
you'll be back here? Well, Jonesy, can you hear me?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
We have.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Twenty that'll be all right.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Well as you can hear, we are putting in our
Macca's order.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
So you're welcome. By the way, for what got you
that cheese and bacon total sandwich. I'm not a big
fan of that.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
It doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it
a bit too sweet?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
How's the nugs going? Mate?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You didn't get me a drink nor me anyway? Welcome back.
We've missed you.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I've got a bit of heartburn now from the macas.
What a morning we've had. We've heard you road rage,
we've heard you threatened to bash an eshey, and that's
all just incidentally, while you thought you're off air, you've
been to Mossmansan and all parts in between. You've been
to Paradise, but you've never been to me.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I must have bet I haven't driven in peak hour
of traffic for a long long time.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
In the morning. It is. It's quite a slot, it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Absolutely is, and I think about that every morning. For
everyone who listens to us captive audience great, but the
fact that the stress that it puts everybody under. Sydney's
not an easy city to live in. We think of
you every day.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
We want to do it. Let's not crazy on it.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Look I went from here to Mossman.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
You've lost your empathy already.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
And then back and then went across the Anzac Bridge
bridge fish markets.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Are you paid by the infrastructure people?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
And then I look at that I'm still here broadcasting.
So I'm just saying, let's all, let's all just harden
up a bit.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Wow. If you'd like to tell Brendan how you feel
about your morning commute, please feel free.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Buy a motorbike. They're great.
