Tom Morris 0:00

Breakfast with Gary and Tim. Morning, everyone. Tom Morris filling in for Gary Lyon, who we're hoping to get in contact with at some stage, but so far he is very much leaving us outside the off stump. The Mimosa Homes open line is 1300 736 736. Temper text is 0433 9811 16. Tom Green, the GWS star who has been very outspoken in the last 48 hours, will join us at 8am. Andrew Russell for Wellness Wednesday. Looking forward to talking to him. Archie Thompson on the FIFA World Cup, which is currently underway. We'll get to that in a few moments' time. Burning questions. All your calls. All the latest news as well. The TV shows last night. Plenty to unpack. Alongside me is my good friend, Tim Watson. Wispy, good to see you again.

Good morning, Tommy. Good morning, everybody. I spoke to Gary yesterday. In fact, I was supposed to tell Brooke, our producer, that he wants to come, not that he wants to come on, but he's very happy to come on this morning. He's got a couple of things he wants to get off his hairy chest at about 8.40 this morning. So I reckon we can probably fit him in.

Zach Bailey 1:03

Absolutely.

Tom Morris 1:04

He's making some amazing observations as he lies there recovering from his back surgery. I'm sure he is. His hairy chest. Well, it's no hairier than your chest, probably, to be quite honest. It's a lot. It's an old gag. It's an old sort of footy show gag. Can I just – I don't want to start on a 3AW current affair type topic, but I just want to put this out there this morning, okay? And this is something that a lot of people are talking about at the moment. But I'm leaving at Shoreham very early in the morning. There's been some potholes. There are potholes on the road between Shoreham and Merrick's that have been there for ages. And during the daylight, you remember they're there, but driving at a very early hour in the morning, just as I...

Tom Morris 1:51

reminded myself as I got towards this pothole that's there that's been there for months that hasn't been fixed and I got on the edge of the pothole so I didn't do I don't think I've done any damage but for that moment you think oh no is my tyre going to blow or whatever it is I mean, surely we can fix this stuff. And I'll say after that, I was thinking, you know, like we pay our taxes and the least that we can expect from the money that we pay to the tax people is that the government, the state government might make sure that the roads are safe. Is that too much to ask this morning? Is that too much to ask? Tim, it's 6.03am and I can't think of a better way to start. It is bang on. The roads should be safe for the people who drive on them.

Tom Morris 2:35

And if you had stacked this morning on a pothole, what would we be doing on SEN? What would your car be doing? How unsafe is that for you? There are so many other issues associated with it. So if I get damaged, this is what I'd like to know. If it was to damage your car, and I was reading about a couple of people yesterday that this had happened to and they'd received like... bills for $2,000, $3,000 or whatever it might have been to have their car fixed. Can I send or can you send an invoice to the state government if you damage your car because they haven't repaired a pothole on the road? You can send an invoice to whoever you want. It But what if you just say, okay, well, look, this is what I'll do.

Tom Morris 3:14

We don't need to have a transaction here. You send me, I'll just hold back the $2,500 that I was supposed to pay for my tax or my land tax or whatever it might be, and we'll call it quits. I'll send you all the invoices that are related to the damage that's been done to my car, and There we go. It's fixed. I think that's a very fair solution. How would you go changing a tyre at 4.15am in the dark in the middle of winter, Tim? Tommy, I couldn't change a tyre at 3.15 in the afternoon when it's nice and light. Is that normal? How many of our listeners can change a tyre or know how to do it? 0433 98 11 16. Now, you're working out, but it's not hard to work out. You can find a way when you get a puncture tyre.

Tom Morris 4:02

It might take you a long time.
