Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is it just me or with the sun coming up
earlier and earlier as we approached the solstice? Yeah, the
first yes, the official is it just people getting up
and getting on the road earlier, Because I swear in
the middle of the year, when we're coming to work,
it's like it's just us.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
I find that there's usually one day a week and
it's often a Tuesday, and I wonder if it's five
four people maybe going to But sometimes you'll you'll hit
a day where whereas every other day there's nothing on
the road when we come in, suddenly they'll be like traffic.
And so there was only five cars at the Walcop
beaufortt Street intersection today.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, I was getting onto I was on a slip
lane getting onto a main road, and it was there
was four cars in front of me and there was
still a four on the clock. No can get out
of my way, take another way.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Still dark when I'm coming in.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
But I wonder if other regulars like us, you know,
who are doing it every day of the year, all
the way through. Wonder if they have the same reaction
that we do. Yeah, it's just surprise, get off by
run very much. So. Oh sometimes I used to when
I don't anymore. But sometimes i'd go and get a
drive through a coffee on the way through if I

(01:17):
was running early enough. Yeah, that never happens anymore, but
yes there would be some days it would be just
a clear run and other days you'd be approaching it
going one to three four cars. No, no, not today,
not today.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
This morning around East Perth as you come in around
wit noom there and onto, you know, past the park
on Wellington, very populated with people.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Really, some mornings.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Are very busy. Sorry, topless a shirtless guy wheeling a
small suitcase with purpose, very quickly fast the park.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Then there was.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
A very black clad that just completely black, closed head
to toe, never a good idea, walking straight out in
front of cars. Further up, closer to Bennett. And then
quite a party, a trio of people wandering up Bennett straight.
And then a woman appeared to have just done her
shopping at the the little you know sort of news

(02:22):
agency twenty four news agency down in the corner, just
walking down Hay Street right. Interesting, well, all with purpose.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
They must have completed their purpose and achieved their purpose.
By the time I came. I didn't see them, but.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
No one well, you've got to get in before the sun.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
All the action was on the road as opposed to
adjacent to the road like it was when you were
coming through. Anyway, I don't know, maybe it's just us,
but there's some days and today was one of those
days where it's just busy, too busy for that time
of day. Come on, people go to bed, sleep in,
make the most of it, Lisa, looking at the text

(03:04):
line here is zero four seven six ninety six ninety
six ninety six. We're not the only ones complaining about
too much going on too early on the roads. Yeah.
Nicole from Bayswater said, yes, not happy seeing all the cars.
I now need to wait. I need to wait in
line in the drive through for coffee at macas you
go back to bed and get off my road. That's

(03:26):
you're channeling me, Nicole. That's exactly your grumpy thing.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
She said. This time of morning is only fit the
year round us. That's us, isn't it now? She gets
exactly what we mean.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yes, get up. Yeah, sorry, I say, Paul Reckons, it's
fitness people.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Now, it's not freezing cold.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
He's probably right, Well, yeah, what carrying shopping bag?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well no, not not the ones that you see as
soon as you're around the street and to the adjacent
to Wellington Park in East Perth here. But no, he's right,
there'd be people getting up earlier now for going to
the gym. I've always has amazed me at how many
people you see jogging at four o'clock in the morning. Though, yes,
it's like, are you mad? And then the ones that

(04:06):
are jogging with headphones on? Are you even more mad?
Be aware of your surroundings at the very least, and
at least we're going to be out there at.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
This time, at least be listening to us on iHeart.
Actually there's there's a there when I'm going down one
particular road every morning, and there are various points, so
it depends on that. That's how I tell whether I'm
running late or not. Two old blokes they always get
together for a chat from the Muppets, you know, sometime

(04:35):
between four point thirty and five in the morning. Yeah, absolutely,
they're walking. They're out walking and they and they meet
each other on the footpath and I have good.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
There's this one guy who's on a moped that I
we we do half the journey together. At least three
out of five days a week, and I feel like
I know him. And one day there was some roadworks
and we do tour it off and I and I
went the wrong way and he followed me and then

(05:04):
down the window and I said, I don't know where
I'm going.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
You go first, and he said, do I know you
don't me alone?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, when I said, he followed me, not

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Just for that, because there was no details sign
