Blackers For Breakfast - Triple M Southwest

Ben O'Shea always has all the goss & at this time of year - it's bound to be christmas related. Blackers also couldn't believe that the AFP have to investigate themselves, there is great news for woman's footy in the South West with the exapansion of the ladies SWFL in 2018 and according to the RAC, December 23rd is the most likely day to crash on WA roads. 

Dan the Internut's App of the Week is perfect if you're still helping the big man decide who's naughty or nice! Blackers always finds much humour when it comes to Donald Trump's twitter account - today was no different & Noleen from Margaret River gave the 8:30 Eight a red-hot shake.

The WACA test and the Aussies domination of the 3rd Test has been the talk of the state of the last few days - this morning Brekky Show Producer Aaron brought us up to speed with all of the weekend's sports action in Out of Bounds. Blackers also probed the merits of investing in Bitcoin, after some horrific accidents here in the South West road safety was back on the agenda, and Jim from Margaret River gave the 8:30 Eight a red-hot shake.

Good weather for fishing today and tomorrow (not so good on Sunday!) and with a window open for lovers of Dhufish tomorrow as well, it was the perfect time to catch up with Holly from Oceanic Marine. Cliff dropped in for another edition of Cranky Old Men and Busselton Mayor Grant Henley gave the 8:30 Eight another crack....

Could a new lithium refinery create more than 500 jobs here in the South West by 2019? We heard all about it this morning when Harvey shire president Tania Jackson joined Blackers for Breakfast. Being a 40 year member of the WACA, we were lucky to catch up with Barry Urqhart before he heads to the last ever WACA test match & we also caught up with Bunbury Mayor Gary Brennan 

With Christmas in the air, Dan the Internut's App of the Week could be very handy if you've ever lost your car while Christmas shopping! The possible return of Fran Drescher and The Nanny didn't get Blackers very excited, we showed off our (very average) acting ability in What's My Scene & it's hard to believe that The Great Barrier Reef may no longer be with us in 2100.

Before he heads off to enjoy a summer full of crayfish (hopefully!), this morning was our last chance to catch up with Nick Bruining from The West Australian for 2017. Friday night's Hoodoo Gurus gig at Vat2 in Bunbury is a sell-out - Kerry from Busselton suffered through our terrible acting to play What's My Scene and pick up free tickets to the gig and Aaron had a complete wrap of the weekend's sport in Out of Bounds.

Career journalist Richard Shears has some fascinating stories to share on the dark side of Bali. This morning he told us all about "What Happens in Bali: Drugs, murder and misadventure from the dark side of the island paradise" when he joined Blackers for Breakfast. No one in WA can merge properly - neither can Blackers, as we found out when Cliff stopped by for another edition of Cranky Old Men and with the weather on the improve, Holly from Oceanic Marine had everything you need to know if you're throwing a line in this weekend.

The 2017 batch of cherries is amazing- as we found out this morning when Jon and Courtney from the Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival joined Blackers for Breakfast. Danny Drummond's Dirty Feed Done Dirt Cheap this morning was an  Asian Sirloin that has to be tasted to be believed and with the Dunsborough Rodeofest, Carols by the Jetty and much more on this weekend, it was great to hear from Busselton Mayor Grant Henley.  

Drowning, dehydration, heat stroke, sunburn - all things we need to be mindful of this summer. We heard all about it this morning when St John Ambulance Community Paramedic Ken Hart joined Blackers for Breakfast. Dylan Robert Thomas is not the most popular person with Blackers (or anyone else for that matter) at the moment, Ben O'Shea from the Inside Cover at The West Australian told us about the Barmy Armie's recruiting drive and somehow the powers that be made a mistake & Dustin Martin's dad is allowed back in Australia.... 

From inspirational moments of bravery, to dogs doing the jobs that no one else can, this morning we heard about true stories of some of the hardest-working dogs in the world when Author Laura Greaves joined Blackers for Breakfast. The female army captain calling for prostitutes to visit soldiers on the front line made Blackers ask a few questions, Dan the Internut's App of the Week could come in handy at this time of year and we couldn't help but mention Nathan Lyon's catch of the year in the 2nd Ashes Test.

New Greens senator Jordon Steele John made quite an impression in his first speech before Parliament last week. This morning we heard what the 23 year old Senator's plans for the future are when he joined Blackers for Breakfast.

Local development, local art - there's always plenty happening in Bunbury and this morning Bunbury Mayor Gary Brennan joined Blackers for Breakfast to tell us about everything that's going on. We chewed the fat about the fall from grace of NBC's Matt Lauer, Barry Urqhart from Marketing Focus had some great advice about staffing demographics for business and with fresh developments in the SSM department, it was logical that Bob Katter`'s name come up....

It's pretty hard to make your way to Bali at the moment. Mount Agung has spewed ash and steam more than 19,000 feet. We heard all about it this morning when University of Tasmania volcanologist Rebecca Carey joined Blackers for Breakfast. Ben O'Shea from the Inside Cover of The West Australian had a whole heap of media movement goss and Steve from Australind did his best in the 8:30 Eight.

The X Trial Australian Championship is a spectacular show the whole family will enjoy, with incredible feats of gravity-defying skill by Australia’s best riders. Before he returns to HBF Stadium in 2018, this morning WA State Champion and X Trial organiser Neil Price joined Blackers for Breakfast.

This morning Adam Shand joined Blackers for Breakfast. Ben O'Shea from Inside Cover at The West Australian shared some people's unique ideas around recycling and you learn something new everyday when we play the 8:30 Eight.
