Yeah morning, yes, fair bit and new beautiful day outside.
Fair Bitter news has happened this morning, the latest being
of course, that the Aussie captain Pat Cummings he's been
ruled out of the first Ashes Test, which of course
is rash.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
No great surprise, there was it rare.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
It's interesting Steve Smith will be the standing captain now.
So isn't that an amazing redemption story.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
That's a pretty good fallback, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
He's come back from you know, sampaper gate, which is
effectively ball tampering.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Well there's ball tamping.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
What else to do with.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It is he didn't Tampa.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
He just looked the other way and maybe he might
have handed it to Yeah, so that's that's quite remarkable.
So some people said he should never captain Australia to
have our captain again and anyway, he used to kind.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Of clean that way myself.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
Actually, yeah, well you know you cheating.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Wouldn't happen in the old days, don't.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
You can't cheat?
Speaker 6 (01:10):
And then you know, is it a redemption story or
a short memory story?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
It's time cures most.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
It needs must's needs must story. When is the first test?
Speaker 4 (01:22):
It's the twenty first of November in Perth. You know
there's only two things in Perth. You can't recover from one.
I won't mention, but the other one is because you
know it's the obvious one. But the other one is
at least just just helping you out here at least.
It's cheating at golf. You can't recover.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Everybody knows. Everyone tells everyone.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
I won't be I don't understand people that cheat. Yourself,
that's exactly you know. You know you didn't do it,
So who what? What is the point?
Speaker 5 (01:55):
It's beyond me beating. It's beyond me.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Your best wood in the bag was your pencil, if
you know what I mean. There was a famous news
reader in Perth.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Did that.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
He got kicked out of club? Yes, yes, and people
never forgot.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Will don't see even no, Yeah, you fool.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Around with one goat and they never forget. Say anyway,
back to the cricket, so just.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
One goat for.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Lisa was on the champagne yesterday at the horse races.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I went to the pub. What were you on?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I'll finish off the cricket by saying yes. So twenty
first to know I vim mccummins. He hasn't resumed bowling
yet as he recovers from that back stress injury. He's
thirty two, is in a race. We're trying to be
ready for the second Test in Brisbane. He will be
in Perth day and the second Test is beginning December fourth.
He got five and a half weeks. Okay, do we
need spoiler alert? Spoiler alert? It was on at four
(02:52):
am if.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
You recorded it on your VCR this morning at four am,
we're going to.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Talk about the GP.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
We are and three two one. Lando Norris now leads
the F one Drivers.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Championship one point one with.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Four races to go. Oscar's second now finished fifth in.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Mexico and did amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
He did an amazing drive.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So he's still still do.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
That was he did a great race.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
But Lando won by thirty seconds traffic in front of him.
That's like, you know, two hundred meters in a four
meter race. The McLaren seemed to have got their own way.
Now the English company has an English driver.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
That's right, because they only half filled Oscar's tank and they.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Gave Lando and new tires.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I was the upstart.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
So the Australian unable to match the pace of his
teammates despite having exactly the same car.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
So that's a bit strange.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
If you're Oscar, you're saying, hey, boys, just speck up
my car exactly the same as Lando's. Or let's swap cars.
How about we swap cars. I'll drive Lando, you can
drive mine. See what happens. It's sort of a feel
for Piastre. It's like sharing a garage.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
He's sharing a garage with Norris, which is a bit
like doing karaoke next to Bruno Mars or something.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
That's a draw analogy.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
He won by thirty seconds. Anyway, I got to play
this audio.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
You can sing as well, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, but not as good.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
We'll work on that anyway. We're back to the drawing
board on that one. The other great cricket story was
w a's Alana King. Well, she plays for w A
and she's a scorcher and she's beautiful and she's not
actually from w A but we're claiming as we do.
She had this historic performance for Australia in the Women's
World Cup in India. So you know, Roger Feedder is
great backhand, and Arli's shuffle and Messy's left foot, David
(04:51):
Beckham's dead ball skills, Ricky Ponting's hook shot, Dustin Martin's
palmis le foot, Lando's lead foot, swan or Max's probably
Shane WARN's flipper. Now we've got Alana King's leg break.
That was a long way to get to that woman. Anyway,
she delivered the greatest spell in World Cup history, taking
(05:11):
seven wickets to lead Australia to a big win of
a Soal African top spot on the table at the
Women's World Cup, and issues.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
These don't happen all that often, so to really embrace,
embrace it and enjoy the moment. And you're in a
World Cup and when you've got a team for nine
down under one hundred, you can't notot be smiling, whether
you're taking wickets or not. I think it's just a
great time to be involved in the game. And yeah,
this smile is always going to be there if I'm
(05:38):
taking wickets.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well, Lana got to the point quicker than barred.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
She has got a beautiful smile too. Afl W Women's
footy Eagles and the Dockers. Can they play finals? Is
one round to go before finals? The Eagles have destiny
in their own hands. They play Carlton on Friday night
at Sullivan Logistics Stadium in Leadable.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Okay, so that's lead of alone.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, if they get my bearings right.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
If they win, they're in the finals, so that's cool.
If they lose, they need no mister finals unless Essenon
defeat Sydney.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
But so they're a good chance.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
And they've never made the finals of course, and of
course the men's team haven't made it for a while
as well. In the Dockers women's side, not as clear cut.
Their opponent is the Crows at Norwold Oval on Sunday.
They play finals if at least one of the Eagles
or Sydney losers. So they're actually barracking for the Eagles
to lose, which is a bit Yeah. Anyway, that's our guys.
(06:37):
If they lose, they missed the finals. So that's where
that's at. I wanted to mention virat Coli and row
at Sharma farewelling Australia on the weekend. In that third
one day, a couple of cricket greats just get a
little better, didn't he mate, Yeah, a lot better. Demigods,
those guys, those Indian guys, they're incredible. They defeated Australia
by nine wickets at the scg row at Shama. He
(06:58):
scored one hundred and twenty one via Holy seventy four
and the crowd was enormous, enormous. They're just sending them
off a lot of Indian fans. But we did win
the series two one. Now, this was the interesting bit
of the weekend with the Perth Wildcats. They lost by
a point to the Hawks, and yeah it was eighty
(07:19):
five eighty four, one of the most thrilling games of
the season.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
They just couldn't get it done.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
And John Really, the coach of the Cats, his postgame
comments about the refereeing, because there was some controversial refereeing
decisions right at the end, I think he made his
point very clear.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
What I will say for everyone that comes into an
arena across the NBL and gets paid somehow through basketball,
players are the superstars and only the players are the superstars.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
You're not the stars. Refs, stay out of it, stop
changing games. Basically, he was seven o' crack at the refs.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
But he was saying it in a way that's not
going to lend him him too much travelable.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah, which is so the new player as the new
player the Wildcats. Now this this will test our intelligence,
right because I said it somewhere and no one knew
I was talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
His name is David Duke.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
David Duke, Oh yeah, yeah, got it? Should I say infamous, Yeah, infamous.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
David Duke, Yeah, junior. But I don't think he's the son.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I don't want to be David Duke Jr.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
I don't think he's the son of No, absolutely certain. Actually, anyway,
who are going to meet him?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
You don't want to put it in some reference for
those playing along at home.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
I think he'd be the grandson of anyway, if he
was going to be any relation.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
No, I think it would be impossible.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, Google, I don't know whether is here.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Maybe he was a.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Former planned Louisiana senator.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Rust didn't mess around him straight.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Former to that plans.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's we're not talking about the Cat, the Wildcats guy.
He is an absolutely fantastic guy. I'm going to meet
him in a half now.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
He's back, and I don't know if he's going to
play in the first game this week, but he's back
and he could be the man.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That replaces obviously the great.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Just don't call the new World Cat the Grand Wizard because.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Because that's what David Duke was, he was the Wizard.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yes, they pulled the backs man.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
No, that's true. That is true. That's that's They.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Have nicknames like that for people, So don't don't go
with wizards.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And in any case, you brought it up, I did not,
all right, safety, Yes,
Time for barriers bits.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
When you've got to get work, you've got to get

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
