I don't care about you.

It's Friday, I'm in love. Monday you got born apart.

I don't care if.

Monday's black, Tuesday.

Wednesday heart attack twenty minutes before six on a Friday morning? What a meani? It is a beauty?

Oh yeah, say a bit of paper. I'm just put in front of it.

Yeah, I want you to die.

I want to get a carbon.

Date it it is? Did they still publish? Is it god a name? Is it sort of like a gig list or something?

Or it was there? I reckon every week there was a newspaper that came out. It was called Beats something like that.

Or go back even further to a magazine that I believe employed the oracle of bowl and heads called go Set.

I don't know go Set.

What Russell has handed me is a sort of gig list, I reckon. It's got a slightly different name than that anyway. Yeah, and it appears in the paper on Friday. I think that was the age and it would outline what bands were playing where on Friday and Saturday night.

So if you have one of those bands. There are bands there that we know like that we remember for example, un Kenny x Men It's the first one I went to, was the right and then there was another one I know that well. Paul Kelly is there, and Russell Morris. Russell Morris is there, rock Steady, Pseudo Echo is there, is a little Slim Whittle I don't remember. I remember the name, but I don't remember. You know, Slim Whittle was.

One of the members of Pundada Panda and really and Slim Slim no longer with this. Slim was just magnificently.

Funny if you go underneath.

He wrote songs such as the races are at Sandown and You're joking if you think I'm going to go It's twenty miles from Melbourne and the tracks on the heavy side of Slow.

Oh I love it. So speaking of Pundadad, Yeah, I bumped into a fellow.

By the Wave Folks was a radio program on three Triple R that well introduced Trevor Marmalaine gave us Doctor Turf for a start.

Gave us Ross. No, not me, but I thought Lawyers, Guns and Money was same station station.

Yeah, but if you talk to the your Tony Leonards iank, we all agree that the best of those shows was part of the It was incredible.

So see the photograph of that gentleman there.

Yeah, that was you yesterday with a man who sells the big issue.

He sells the big issues. His name is Louis and Louis has been He said, oh no, please pass on my regards to Ross, because since I arrived in Melbourne, I've listened to I listened to Triple R and I listened to Pundaa Putter and Lawyers, Guns and Money. That that chap there good, Yes, he was a delight. I have to say below Slim Whittle, I don't know did you ever see Soul Twisters?

No, but I've heard the name.

When I read that, that brought back a flood of just such positive memories.

That is late nineteen eighties.

You reckon, it's late eighties eighties. I was going from eighty sort of six seven.

But with this programming, let me know you luck, But there is a band there that I love the name of I've never heard of them, and I wonder if anyone listening was a member of them. A band called Justified Hatred that's so good, who played at a place called Scarf and I've never heard of at thirty four Errol Street, North Melbourne. They called Justified Hatred.

How good is that list there?

Yeah, that's just magnificent.

Quick stat for you, Melbourne has got We've got the highest density still to this day, the highest density of live venues per percentage of popular per population, the number one in the world.

So we're the Bostard to the south. Yes, and where whatever that is the sound, Well, we are the world.

We are the of the world and it's something like one per eight and a half thousand people. We have a live venue and that that ranks us number one in the world.

And currently the most important live venue will be the MCG on November, the twelfth of November, the sixteenth mate that could come to town. Yeah, the band was You're kidding Damien's we don't know what he's gonna say.

I love that.

That's a band called Justified Hatred. It's on YouTube.

See the Machinations is there as well. The Machinations were quite big weren't they. I feel like they were.

Tony. You've got a gig happening.

Yeah, I don boys Nick Barker, Nick Barker and the Reptile to the Warren Brows, Decend mag dir.

Where are they playing Warren Brown?

The game?

Is this their best song? Tanny? So what's their best song?

Oh?

Brother?

We go down and see him?

I can't remember on John Slate.

No worries, I am got on your Tanny. Listen to this program. Set me photographs from they went wearing the flip side t shirt to see a band called Loy Groin. I've never heard of. So I looked up Lloyd Groin and Lloyd Groin is on our Spotify playlist of the tunes that the listeners said, He's the best tune you've never heard. Lloyd and Groin provided us with the track pub Tab. I had to listen, very fun, likes talking about his life and he goes, just what what, just

We heard something interesting about Morty Alex Is that earlier this week? Yeah?

Yeah, well, I spent five days a week in a dead end job that I don't like like me back even less.

Every day I get I've.

Buls it from my boss, and then I just seem to get more of the same from the wife and the kids, and her mom and her old man.

And it's not fair. I don't like it. I can't put up with it. I got to get out of it.

I've got to go somewhere to find some sort of merciful release. And there is a place just up the raid and around the corner. Yeah, that's where old meet, That's where you can find me.

That's where you could find me. You can find me down.

With the toe. Yeah, no fixed address. Also played in this late eighties.

I think I vaguely remember.

Oh yeah, definitely, Anthony, Good morning.

There, gentlemen.

There was an English TV show about five or six years ago, but you can get on YouTube called the Great Music Cities of the World, and they did London, La, Nashville, Memphis and Melbourne and said that Melbourne has the best live entertainment in the world.

There we got justification for you, Russell Haircroft. Anthony, our listener Johnny says, we've got to find Damian. You've got to find a band called alloy Head and the victim moers mos.

Oh, yes, I remember, remember.

The name of it. He says, their biggest song that Damien's head's going to fall. He's going to love this, Damien. Their biggest song was called Ball. Yes. Have we heard ball? Yes? We used to a ball yes, Ball Yes?

Well that JK there. He would remember that. We used to have T shirts designed by a man called gentleman called Andy Harden that had umpire ball yes on the front of it. I'm going to send Jo I'm going to say, I think it's the same person I'm thinking of. I'm going to send him a photograph of this list here are going to He could carbon date that to the very month, do you reckon?

Yeah?

He could.

It was a lovely conversation. I was going to raise at some stage and we all scorch, you and I particularly, And then though, I think, get this thing about shows you gotta watch at the moment on streaming, and there is one called Department Q. Scorter hasn't started. The Department Q is very very good. It is, and I will hold that thought. Well, Damien interposes this.

You're going home, John don't in.

The back line, gotta before halftime.

Yeah.

My quick observation is the Departmentque is very good, but it's got the lead male actor in it is a bloke that I've only ever seen in one other thing. He was in The Offer, the series about the making of The Godfather, which if you love The Godfather, it's superb series like a drama series. I need to watch that sectionalized about the making and he plays the head of Paramount Pictures, Robert Evans, who was the man who

He's very good.

And I looked at him and I thought, could you be the next Bond? Then I looked him up. He's forty seven. So my question for you is is forty seven too old to play the next Bond?

Well, you want to get ten years out of the actor at least maybe twelve to fifteen. So I think the answer is yes. I think I think he's a great Bond. He's too tall, he's too tall to be bombed. Yeah, Bond's going to be a little bit shorter than that.

What does he have to be short? Short or just sort of like five to eleven five?

Well, I think Hollywood or Hollywood five elevens like five seven.

That was one of the biggest shocks. I was about to say, one of the biggest shocks in my life. That's what a good, complete matter, ridiculous. I couldn't believe it. When was it you who told me yesterday that you thought Bruce Springsteen was short? Yes? And I said no, no, no, Bruce Springsteen must be about six foot one, six foot two seven. If short of them is short of them. I'm taller than Bruce Springston. Yeah, I would have had

At one seventy seven. Probably it's about the same height as Yeah.

Right, so they put him in a Hawks jubb. That's ridiculous, Sonny Sunny at top of sixteen degrees, it's six degrees now in thirteen to six.

And there is a place just up the ride and around the corner. Yeah, that's where old they where you can find me.

That's where you can find me. You can find me down parton on the Dogs Laid at Night, Full of Gas.

Three aw breakfast Macafes New Blend is worth getting out of bed for it. It's smooth, richer and available on the all day menu.

I'm loving it.

Nine six Are you the police? No, ma'am, we're musicians.

Emergency Services updates. When you're ready to sell your home, call Ian read Vendor Advocates.

First and me. He's nine minutes to six with leading senior comes to all.

Clayton the drink you have when you're not having a drink?

Jody Clayton, Jody, what do you got for us?

Good morning. Yes, it's been a busy one so emergency services responded to a house fire and two rack.

This morning.

It's polite. The premises on the corner of Saint Georgia's Street and Ultimo Court Court a light just before two thirty am. There was no one inside the premises at the time, and the exact cause of the fire as yet to be determined. We're asking anyone with information or may have witnessed anyone or anything suspicious in the area to contact Crime Stoppers Okay.

No one was in the house. How has been there? Okay? What else?

So we've had two teenagers have been charged by detectives following a series of offenses across Melbourne's CBD yesterday morning. So it's alleged the teens approached a male victim near Southern Cross railway station before making threats that they had a knife and.

He was assaulted.

That was about eight point thirty. The teenagers are alleged to have unsuccessfully attempted to steal his scooter before fleeing the scene. A short time later, the second victim was also approached by the two youths near the Burke Street Bridge near the railway station, where they alleged to attempted to steal his vabe. They also followed and assaulted him

Okay, So they will go into the crime stats for next year reflecting the story. Victoria is grappling with its highest youth crime rate since electronic records began. Yes with new figures laying bare the surgeon offending that forced the state government to strengthen bailor's Well, that was a sixteen year old and the seventeen year old. So into the stat sheets they'll go for next year. Good on you, Jody. It's six minutes to six.

When you look at those numbers, the increases, it's not like it's a three percent increase or a five or a six percent increase. It's like thirty percent increases.

I mean, how is that possible?

Aggravated residential burglary up thirty point five percent?

How does that happen? One double three six nine three Criminologists of Melbourne Russell is right, that is staggering for how how has that happened? Why does that happen? What's it all about? One nuble three six nine three? And what they eventually happen is that they'll catch them, they'll put them in jar Oh yeah, and they might get abashed, in which stage the Victorian taxpayer will write them a check for a million bucks. Mock Bell, mock Bell. Matthew

Has he been a stage actor?

Maybe? I don't know, but he has not been in much.

You're right about Department Q. I'm up to third episode. How many are there?

I'm going to say eight? Maybe he's right great and he's good. And my oldest boy watched it, and, completely unprompted by me, he said, I've watched that. He said that he might be the best actor in the world. He's way up there. I like him, he's got that he's prone to exaggeration. All right, Yes he should work in radio, Yes, yes, yes, But I think everyone here is agreed sadly that forty seven is too old to be the next Bond.

Well, well, okay, so how many Bond Damon goes?

Don't be a guest? Well, you know, he's got to take his kit off and the merge from you know, he's got to go for a swim and then come up out of the beach. No good of you know, they'd want to sign him up for man boobs. They'd want to sign him up for three, maybe five and three would take twelve years.

Yeah, probably ain't got a bit longer.

The tooth. What a banger. He's really good. They've got to because they sold it to who Amazon? Amazon? Yeah, well there's been my father. They're going to pee you or get off the pot, and they've got plenty of cash. It's for to six. OMG, oh my god.

Wace w t whe the face the most Australian Kia ever developed. Kia's first ever used, the Kia Tasman. Request a test drive. Find out more Kia dot com dot Au.

So the six. Jackie Felger has just sent us a video of that house fire and tour man. Whoa wow. We can we get that straight up on our social media so that folks can have a can have a look when the social media team get in. Okay, good Ilbi hi Ross do yourself a failure, we said Matthew Good The Wine Show.

He completed the best three Seasons I think if you like him. He's brilliant in this series.

Right.

Okay, So is that a drama series or is it just a show about wine? It's show about wine.

He's on with another actor called Matthew Reese.

Okay. I will watch it because I like wine and I like Matthew Good. So Matthew Good presenting the Wine Show will get me big story about wine this morning. Out of this, Yes, great news about wine. That's dominic west, isn't it. I'm looking at a photograph of the Wine Show Chris White, crime rates up.

No bloody consequence.

I like that. No bloody consequence.

That's got to contribute a bit, don't they.

So there is news about wine which we will have amongst all the other news of the day. Other side of this, it is six o'clock at a.

W What the papers say, get thirty percent off the full range of famous Moran leather and fabric sofas now only a Berkerwitz, Blackburn and Morabin.

Seven six. I remember I remember reading once in the New York magazine This will be thirty years ago, an article that ultimately ended up being about road safety, and the opening paragraph was yep, that along the lines of the epicenter of road safety in the world is the state of Victoria in Australia. Stop new parrot. That's how it opened, yeh, because we were compulsory seat belt is the lot.

And you know what's going on in the Northern Hemisphere right now is advertising Awards, the can Advertising Woods. For about twenty years we Victoria would win via the TAC the best the best social advertising in the world off the back of what the TC did so.

And the reason I mentioned that is because front page of the Herald Sun of this morning. Australia has been given the green light to use age verification to implement its world leading social media band for under sixteens after a techno technological trial determined it would be private, robust and he's the most important word effective I know?

Is this grass now.

Every parent listening to this who says, oh, please please introduce it, please let it be effective? Well, the good news and plea and congratulations to us for being world leaders on it.

Yeah, and a lot of lobbying that went on with regard to sort of media outlets lobbied hard. But then there was also an interesting group whose name. All of a sudden I can't recall Finch was involved with it anyway. How good. So the most important thing, of course is I thought, oh, well, maybe it's just going to be a signal. Right, so mum and dad could say to the kid, well, you know it's not legal, but it actually sounds like it's going to be effective.

And there's only twos. There's only one thing that gives me a bit of well, the two things that give me a bit of concern when they introduce it. I would like to get a fifteen year old into the studio and say, get around it.

It gives a workaround.

Yeah, so just show me how easy you think it is to get around this band, because then that will give the authorities an opportunity to close that loop. The other thing that concerns me is that it's being unveiled on a Friday afternoon. Now things get unveiled on a Friday afternoon if they want to bury them in the desert of the weekend.

But it was released on a Thursday afternoon, so it was in the Friday papers. Oh, you're saying the report itself.

The preliminary findings of the Age Assurance Technological Trial will be announced by the Prime Minister on Friday afternoon. Unveiled on Friday afternoon. That worries me. Yeah, as Damien said, they call it putting out the track. The second most important story that day can be found on page twenty seven of The Herald's sun Ossi Winery Debauderley is said to be announced as the official wine of the Melbourne

Well what a great deal? Does it say? How long? The deals for three years?

Oh?

Well that's brilliant.

Yep. The Bordley, one of Australia's largest family owned wine companies, will be announced as official winery of Flemington on Friday. So congratulations to the VC and congratulations to Debauderley.

That's great news.

I don't think Damie wants to know where the horses like wine? Well do they No, they'd probably like a wine with a horse. Dirve uh Free drugs are Tony Mockbell. The ISZAR has been awarded one million dollars by the Allen government over its brutal bashing. He's got one fifteenth of what farmers gone in drought relief because one fifteenth was it only fifteen mil? It was fifteen men.

Well, let's passphases. Not over yet, is it?

Put it in the context of the Grand Prix got three hundred and fifty million. Yes, six weeks ago we had a rumor in the River folding yesterday that said that the Grand Prix is about to cut down thirty four trees in ourbe park and no one contacted us to say that that's not true.

No, that's right. So now they might indicate something.

Well, yeah, is there anyone put further flesh on the bones? Are the Grand Prix about to cut down thirty four trees?

Now we did earlier discuss the youth crime numbers, but I think it's probably important just to sort of highlight them again.

Victoria is grappling with its highest youth crime rates since electronic records began. When do you reckon electronic records.

Began nineteen ninety five?

Wow? Okay, I thought it might have been only in that with new figures laying bear the surgeon offending that forced the state government to strengthen bail laws. And you said, it's not as if they've gone up ten and they've got thirty percent.

And my it's year on year, isn't not Yeah, it's it's how are we lapping? As you know, I like to say Carthiff's are only up forty seven?

Forty seven? Well, I told you that I was speaking to someone's speaking to someone who lives in mante Laza right about two weeks ago, and I came in here and told you that. In man Eliza, they say it's not a question of whether you're of whether your car will be stolen. It is a question of when will be stolen.

So when did it? When? Were people laughing at Rebecca Judd a long time ago? Right? And well it turns out she might be right. He's right, not might be right?

Steve, how old must bond a bond be? Because we found an actor Matthew Good it would be I think it would be excellent. Russell thinks he's too tall to be bond.

He's too old. He's forty seven. Yeah, I mean Roger Moore was forty five when he got his first gig is bond, but they wanted him to earlier than that. But by the time he made ten seven bond movies and ten years and by the end of it he needed a sun Man Bossy to walk up a set of stairs. He was he was looking good at fifty four, but he was obviously physically he wasn't an athlete, not like not like Daniel Craig could have probably paid played another two Bond movies.

But that's fair.

Yeah, I think that's that's fair. Good your state and what else? Well? I do like this? Australia's first technology that will allow blind and low vision footy fans to follow live AFL matches will be debuted for Sunday's Western Bulldog Richmond class at Marvel Stadium. Isn't that radio?

I liked my eye patch idea, the eye patching club colors. Just an eye patching club colors?

What the blind people wear eye patches?

No, because everyone's a one eyed supporter.

H gota.

Don't you reckon.

Fortune out of that? For charity? Of course, the worrying article in the paper. It's a lovely idea. I just I have unable to emotionally cope with reading this story. Talk about burying the lead tell me us. Researchers have found that young tarantulas are adaptable enough to run at the same speed just after a day after losing two legs. They can run. Oh, yes, tarantulas can run.

I have in my mind's eye, are running tarantula. Why would I I've.

Never seen a huntsman run.

Well, David Attenborough would have done something around you.

Know what, I've got a huntsman down the bush about. Don't really worry me because I get my old friend mort mort En and I just go.

But why do you do that? Don't you just get the flick them outside?

But the world has been the fewer spiders, the better flicker outside.

Yeah.

Look, oh it's a homing rat.

Yea, So they come back in. No, they've got work to do. They've got nature's work to do.

Ross my huntsmand don't run. They just they abseil, Yes they do. They don't rune that mention being chased by a tarantul.

I don't think I've ever used a Martine or a pebo. Really.

No, it's greatfu and people are leaving Australia in the highest numbers since the pandemic, easing population growth and singly the end of a two year migrant boom and overseen by the Albanese government despite the fact that it promised to curb im migration.

Where they're going, Well, that was my reaction. I need to do more reading about this. My assumption is that that was students going home. Remember how students weren't actually going home and there was this something. I know, whether we would.

Call someone who used to be the treasurer of the country ones told that is not an education scheme. It's a migration scheme.

That's right. So I think maybe that's what's happening. I'm not entirely sure, so I need to do a bit more reading. However, the bottom line is people leading.

Start thinking Peak of the week. Tell us what's been the highlight of the week, whether it's personal or public, and you can score a five hundred dollars Harvey Norman gift card. Peak of the Week after six thirty one, number three six nine three It is sixteen after see.

We're listening to three aw breakfast. The white Glove Mover makes moving a breeze, and your new place will feel like home from day.

One after six instant pole. If you see a spider, do you kill it? Nine A three two fifty to fifty. If you see a spider, do you kill it nine O three two fifty to fifty. I'm a yes, russells at if you see a spider, do you kill it? New research from the University of Sydney suggests that heading a soccer ball can subtly alter the brain, even without immediate cognitive impact or concussion. Dr Nathan DeLange, postdocual researcher at the University of queenszlone. I think I get that.

Yeah, hey guys, it is.

And that's the whole thing.

And part of the reason why we're interested in doing this research is that soccer is one of the most played sports in the world. But when we do the skill of heading the soccer ball, you don't see obvious changes in any way that we're functioning. And so is this resulting and changes in the brain is something that we were particularly interested in.

So doctor young young brains, Young young brains. I'm imagining such a good idea for let's say thirteen year old ago around heading a ball, especially if it was.

Water locked on a dewey Saturday morning.

Indeed, Yeah, that's a question that I think is starting to gain a lot of attention, particularly around the world. We know that particularly in other countries, for instance the UK and the US, there is bands on soccer players from younger ages doing soccer heading. This hasn't been enforced in Australia, but it is something that is under ongoing conversations. We really don't know exactly when soccer heading should be

A soccer ball as well.

So sometimes the blanket bands are a bit challenging to enforce because ensuring proper technique is important as well.

Ok, could you end up in a situation you know, I've I go and watched junior footy around mind neck of the woods. There are some teams where every single player wears a helmet and teams that don't. Would you have games between sides who head the ball and those who.

Don't absolutely, and I think definitely in definitely the style of the game will dictate how much sockerheading has done. If there's a couple of teams that their style of players to kick the ball into the air behind the opposition's defense, then you might have games where certain players will be heading the ball quite a lot.

Positions, particularly the.

Center backs and defensive line will be heading the ball quite a lot. So there are definitely some games where you'll have a lot of headers and some games where you won't, and also some positions that will head the ball more than others.

So doctor increasingly there are AFL players that are in the news that have you know, they have been a custer in their career and that's causing problems and issues with them later in life. Is there evidence that soccer players have got issues later in life?

This is something that is ongoing debate as well. Certainly it's something that we're seeing in the professional soccer players in particular, but it's hard to disentangle these effects from other factors such as concussion, the repeated load of heading, other factors that like lifestyle changes for instance, alcohol, diet, exercise. So while there is some evidence where not one hundred percent confident, and particularly in the amateur soccer world, it's

Dr Nathan Delang, post doctoral research at the University of Queensland. I don't know whether there's any telepathy between and and I, but I'm going to he's standing in the doorway. I've invited him to stand in the doorway. In the modern Ish era, which player would have been regarded as the most famous header of the ball soccer? Yeah, thirty thirty forty years John John Toshak. He's probably a been a lot further away than that. He's English and he was

He famously was asked what he would have done he wasn't a soccer player, what would he be? He said?

A virgin Damien at the same time said in my ear, Peter Crouch, if you see a spider, do you kill it. The spread of sixty nine to thirty one melody, sixty nine percent of respondents.

Said I would probably have to.

Say narrow and thirty one percent say I'd rather not say.

With the entries, Yes, Sports reports for Underworks, the Comfiest, Coziest, Warmest Thermals and socks for Winter Underworks the Wonder down Under for socks.

Six twenty five. John Anderson has six bottles at the borderly Wood Fight.

Heathcitts you rat, I was watching the Bombers lose by seven goals last night in Perth to Fremantle, who won their fifth game in a row. No surprises there, That's probably what you expected, maybe even more damage than forty one points in the Aird with Essen And when I was growing up, my dad used to talk about the great Essen and sides back in I reckon. It was the late forties, early fifties, and there was a term use to describe their great players of a certain height,

Use one nuble three six times three.

Ron McEwan was one of those players. Greg Tait was another, and two very very famous Bombers were the other. Two who do there but the greatest players ever?

Named?

The top five Bomber players in history, these two would be in it. I said yesterday briefly that if I was to select a side for next year who I think will have the most improvement in it, it would be Essenant and I was laughed at. And I've been laughed at all my life. So I'm comfortable enough with that. I can deal with it, Russ. But I stand by it. And the reason I say that when you introduce eleven debutantes in a season, some of that's been forced upon

But they look good.

And then the Dockers on the other hand, you saw what Luke Jackson can do, and he's running around like a rock rover, playing the ruck, kicking three goals, getting heavy possessions, and when he's on, Luke Jackson's kind of right up there and the best players in the game because he's such a unique player. He plays putty bit like a guy called Tom McCarney with that mobility, and you can see why both of them are such hot property and why Luke Jackson is a better player without

Betch.

Dangerfield plays his three fiftieth games a night for Jaelong at GMHBA Stadium. People obviously ask the question, where does he rate in terms of great players. I'll say this about Patrick Dangerfield. There's a game you play on the beach. I think it's called sticks. That game flag Saints rus flags. So you lie on your gut incredible in the opposite direction to where you're going to run, and whistle goes. You jump to your feet and split down and try and grab the flag first.

So there'll be eight sprinters, but seven flags.

He would win that any AFL Olympics. He would have been that every time. I've never seen a blike you're not meant to go to your feet. You'll tell your kids to keep your feet, keep your feet. He goes to his feet and then he's like a cat and the explosion, the combination of power and speed. But that bloke is up there with probably Gary atwt Sen or something like that.

He's talking about Patrick dangerfeet. I don't know the answer to your question, but I wonder whether it involves the word squadron. Yeah, it's pretty close. Involved Phil Boyd from Clifton Spring. There was Dick Reynolds, and there.

Was Hatchee, Bill Hutchison, Greg Tape and Ron McEwan.

They were the Mosquito Fleet. Oh oh, I thought that was Carton Carlton.

Later on, your Mosquito Fleet were a bombits. They had one before that. They went in the twenties. They had another one late fortiesh ten fleets.

Good answer, jump of the line. Now, what has been the highlight of the week for you in any form? Peak of the week.

For Harvey Norman, it's time for peak of the week. Yeah, call now and tell us your highlight of the week.

It doesn't get any better than that champion.

I'll tell you what.

Won double three six nine three.

Twenty three minutes before seven rumaphiles open the entire time with Mayer one duble three six nine three coming johnis though for Peak of the week, that is what is the peak of your week, personal or public? In any four.

Today's Peak of the Week winner will receive a five hundred dollars gift card thanks to Harvey Norman. TVs, fridges, laptops, mobiles, furniture, betting and more on sale now at the Harvey Norman Clearance Sale, best brands, best prices, and that's guaranteed. Ross.

Have we found that audio, Damen that I sent to you. It's not the live audio, but it is confirmation. It is the Graham Norton Show being hosted by someone else other than Graham Norton, but they are interviewing the English footballer Peter Crouch.

When you were asked in an interview, what would you be if you weren't a footballer and you replayed a virgin?

That's the peak of my way. That's you would have thought I would have heard that sports quite before. But anyway, that's Peter Crouch who played. I think they said for Liverpool.

I've got a new local. It's called the Tiplane. I was there yesterday. Now I am informed that a nine dollar pint. Nine dollars for a pint of beer is a seriously good price.

Good morning, R and I might pick the week was my beautiful daughter and my son in law give us our first grandchild Wednesday night and getting in after work last night to hold little Freddy in my arm for the first time.

More from CBS White House correspondent Ed o'keef.

CBS News has learned the President approved on specified attack plans as an option, but it's holding off in case Ron agrees to abandon it's nuclear program.

Trump has just bought himself some time, with his Press secretary saying he'll make his decision within the next two weeks to enlarge the window for any possible negotiations. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyah, who is of course hoping Trump will quickly agree to join operations to try and blow Iran's new facilities to oblivion. Speaking on CNN, he's heaping praise on the President.

He's a tremendous friend, a tremendous world leader, a tremendous friend of Israel and the Jewish people.

The partnership with President.

Trump, with whom I speak to almost every day, is incredible.

Meanwhile, the American military is pre positioning aircraft carriers and strike groups in the region, and the US State Department is evacuating non essential diplomats and their families from the US Embassy in Israel.

Happy Friday morning, guys. Now, if you're going to the dentist, Well, you might want to mute the radio for a minute or two. A few fee bit the stuff of nightmares. That's because in the Czech Republic, a twenty two year old fake dentist and two assistants have been charged after treating dozens of patients using instructions they found on the internet. The authorities say the three family members opened a surgery without a license in their home two years ago and

Next time you're in.

The mosh bits, thrashing, slam dancing or pogoing, don't do yourself an injury or for that matter, inadvertently call for help.

Lovely Devin, enjoy your London weekend. Back to the Czech Republic with a twenty two year old fank dentist. Yes, I are there any Feng Farriers listening? I don't think you could be a dentist at twenty two? Could you?

You couldn't? I don't think so. It's quite as quite a long.

I'm assuming it's a long.

Is it sixties?

Something like that? So Feng Ferry is listening? One Nuble three six nine and three. What is the youngest you could be a dentist in Melbourne? A little bit rima file's happened? One Numble three six nine three It's five to seven birthdaynnzo Yes, Damen. His grand final was one that said Kilda was involved in so twenty ten, Damen, Thank you, Karl. How what is the absolute youngest you could be a dentist in Victoria?

Look the five.

Year course of trope, So if you were eighteen year twelve, that will take you at twenty three. If that, if you skip the year at high school, you could be twenty two.

There you go, Carl, that's too young to be. If you walk in and you see your dentist is twenty three, I'm turning around and walking out and I'm onto something here, what's the perth we've done? And what's the perfect age for bond? What's the perfect age for a dentist? Oh? Dear right, remaphile time.

You're listening to three aw Breakfast. The white glove mover makes moving a breeze and your new place will feel my come from day one.

Note after seven. We should be justly proud of the fact that Victoria is the world leader in road safety. Willn't be great of Australia was the world leader in age and social media bands for under sixteen. Australia has been given the green light to use age verification after a trial determined it would be private, robust and effective. Professor Richard Buckland, Professor in Cyber Crime, School of Commuter Science and Engineering at the University of New South Wales, Professor,

Well, that's the minion dollar question, isn't it. They have done a trial on school children, but of course they won't as motivated. I think inevitably fifteen year olds are pretty good and we'll get some getting around it, but most won't.

Wow.

Yeah, I'm professor here, I am. I'm assuming that you are pro this.

Oh.

I from a child safety point view, I think it gets fantastic that we're I mean, I'm never pro censorship, but in some cases I think protecting.

Children is great.

But I do have a concern Russell, what is that privacy for adults not for the children. I'm slightly nervous that really the only way of doing proper age verification ultimately risks identifying everyone who uses social media, adults who are allowed in as well as children who aren't. And we've seen in America that can actually cause problems when you're government knows who's doing what.

So this is the unintended consequence.

So could you articulate what your main professor to give us an example of what you think would be a dreadful thing to.

Happen if you wanted to say something on social media but it wasn't safe for you to say so, so you're in a repressive regime to say, which obviously we're not. Or in America, for example, you can't get into America now if you've said things that are critical to Trump. We've seen examples of that sometimes happening, and there's no it's just hard to know how far that can go.

Yeah, I get you, but I prioritize the safety of children ahead of Yeah.

No, absolutely absolutely. I think the benefits to children's fantastic, and the privacy concerns for adults I'm sure can be solved with legislation, just you know, banning people from using or keeping this information and just.

Taking out a point that Russell made before we spoke with you, you would be able to say to your I got two under sixteen. You would would be able to say to them, hey, this isn't a guideline, this is the law. Yes.

Yes, the same thing happened with masks. If you remember in New South Wales masks on trains during COVID. It was recommended, it was recommended, it was a guideline. Everyone kept doing it, and then one day glad to speragically in the premiere said no, you can't do it, and the next day everyone.

Had more trains.

Right, yes, precisely so, professor. Is any new technology require in order to make this work, as in make the ban work? Or is it just technology that already exists on the phone and it's just the application of it.

Yeah, that's exactly right. That's and it sort of has to be that, I guess to make it work. You can't really expect to run to external expensive stuff. There's new AI which can analyze existing for those in existing video capabilities on phone, and then there's linking with existing databases like driver's license databases and government ideas.

Okay, you're talking to someone who knows nothing about it. I don't have any social media at all. Does that mean a fifteen year old can't have a Facebook page?

Yeah, if they're one of the I mean, we've heard a couple of goes that which companies are affected and which aren't. But if Facebook is one of the companies listed, then yeah they can't.

Well and of course and what we absolutely know, Yeah, well Facebook, of course it let's say it mines the data of all of us, right and then sends and then sells that data on.

Yeah, yeah it's and TikTok's probably even worse. So you know, absolutely this will stop children losing that data. And I guess saying things that can never be unsaid.

That is great, lovely to chat with. You enjoy your Sydney weekend. I like the who's the other fella from the University of New South Wales. There's a great chat on economics Richard holand yeah they must have a bit of fun and the star for him like the cut of their gym. It's twenty four after Save.

Seven minutes to eight after eight, We're going to make someone half a million dollars richer when we announced the winner of the Royal Melbourne Hospital Lottery Early Bird draw.

Earlier this year, didn't we Yeah, we're doing it again.

Half a million bucks prepular leaving Australia in the highest numbers since the pandemic abil risby former Immigration Department de WUD Secretary and experted immigration population to whom we have spoken before, nice to speak again. Will is we're speculating, is this student's going home?

Yes, mixture of students going home, plus the fact that Australia had a record two point eight million temporary entrance in Australia during that quarter, so some increase in departures was to be expected.

And are we going to expect a continuation of that as a trend?

That's certainly likely, That's certainly what Treasury is forecasting. In fact, a Treasury is forecasting an acceleration in departures over the next couple of years.

And now why is that?

Well, once again, it's a function of policy tightening. The policy tightening that the government has introduced over the last couple of years is starting to impact. And secondly, because of the size of the temporary entry cohort in Australia, it was inevitable to rise in departures would take.

Place, and of all the numbers, is going to be big enough to actually affect the economy in a negative sense?

I wouldn't think so. I mean, certainly Treasury is forecasting of very significant decline in a net migration.

Over the next two years.

It's projecting that it will settle at about two hundred and thirty thousand per annum. I frankly would be surprised if it falls that fast and that far, but let's wait and see. I think the government would need to tighten policy further to get down to those sorts of numbers. The other issue, of course, is the strength of the labor market. Our labor market has remained so strong and that has sustained very high levels of net migration.

Bill In the sixties and seventies, there was, of course, this thing called the brain drain, where talented Australians left the country. Is there any evidence that there's some brain drain going on.

Yes, OSSI citizens are leaving the country in slightly larger numbers, but that's been the case for a long time. Ozzie has intended to travel around the world get jobs in various places, around the world, and so we do experience some degree of brain drain.

That's true.

What Jim Chalmer's going to think about that, given the the only reason we're not in a recession is because of migration.

Well he will be a little nervous about that, I'm sure. But policy is designed to get knit migration down, so that is the objective. So let's wait and see whether it does that. Whether he can make the balance between getting knit migration down and avoiding slowing the economy is the challenge that he faces.

Eight, you're listening to three aw breakfast. The white glove mover makes moving a breeze, and your new place will feel like home from day one, twenty after eight. Food for the Bauderly Wines family wine makers since nineteen twenty eight. Enjoy responsibly.

Amelia Fuller, our mate, reviews food for this program merely good morning, Where have you been?

Good morning? I've been to Fancy Hanks. It's at seventy nine Burke Street at the top there.

I've been.

Have you been, Rutt, No, I have not, but I know that you can buy their sauce.

You can buy their sauce as well, and you definitely should because I went on the hunt this week for something warm, maybe something with a fireplace, and then I thought, wait, I can do better than a fireplace. I need someone with a smoker. If I took myself to Fancy Hanks, and as soon as you get in it's upstairs. But then once you walk in that door. You can get that hickory smoky smell immediately. It's all deco fit out, it's beautiful.

And it's all meat that's been cooked for a year.

Yeah, they do a good job of that, but in a good way.

Oh yeah. I had the brisket, which I noticed on the menu is sixteen hour smoked BARLEI fed angus this brisket.

Nice, twenty nine perfect age for a brisket, perfect.

Well.

I think that's what they do really well is obviously they use really good cuts of meat as well, which sometimes with barbecue you can use the cheaper cuts and kind of slow cook it. But as you've just told us, they do really good cuts and they cook it really well. So you've got to get double there. Let's get right into it. So you have to obviously get some ribs if you're going to do barbecue. I've got the half ribs. They're charred and that dry rub on the outside sweet enough,

What's the perfect age for a waiter?

I would say twenty six.

Thirty seven fifty.

Actually, I agree with you.

Guys.

You want experience. Yeah, yeah, definitely. What about some chicken. I know it's not traditionally kind of as much into the barbecue. Are you into the chicken? If I tell you about the smoked chicken, yeah, it.

Tell us about it. But you're not shifting me off the brisket.

Well that's fair enough. I mean, I wouldn't try to shift you off the brisket. But you've gotta have some other things on the table. So we'll have some chicken, some furs, some smoked chicken. They've got the free range chicken thighs their juice on the inside.

So something controversial here ross the vegan platter. Yeah, I reckon I could find my way around that.

I thought the same thing. Fascinating smoked hormous nuts, corn ribs, pumpkin broccoli, pickles, coldslaw, and fries sounds good. God, fries aren't made from animals exactly.

Yeah, that would be a whole other thing. I did put some corn ribs in front of you guys, and Russell said, what the.

Hell is that?

Not so keen on the look of that, But anyway, that's okay.

No, the corn ribs are like this because they use obviously the smoker to cook it as well. It's flavorsome the whole way through. Normally they just get the buttery, beautiful but buttery. On top note, it was you could get the flavor through each kernel, which I was pretty impressed.

Is it sort of a associate this with the south of the American South?

You gone on a guard with no.

That's blues?

Could you even make out what they were saying?

Yeah, it's you're gonna there's a word been taken out. I can put it back in. When they got a Bob's Country bunker, did they not? And they try to leave without without paying, and the front of them and says, you're going to look pretty strange trying to eat corn on the cod with no redacting teeth.

Keep the redacting in that. That's very good. What about all right, let me throw some random exact you What about a deviled egg? Yeah, yeah, a bit of tang, a little bit of paprika on there, you'll take it all. Some buffalo wings, oh yes, yes, yes, I think there's only four on the plate. So it's a nice little just starter, just to get your your tummy warmed up before we slap down and brisket. Very happily.

We want some connection with this program. Had a meet a little place either in Nashville or I think it was in Nashville called peg leg Porker. Can you look it up, scorches peg leg poker, peg leg porker because the blogo unded only had one leg.

Yeah, you could probably guess that one.

The waiter came around at one stage with all this read mat I ordered, I asked to see the wine list. He looked at me as if I had suggested that we have a seance.

He said, you're.

Surely there's wine and fancys.

There is certainly wine, of course, because it's you're the top of Melbourne in this city. You're going to go to Paris and you're getting wine. But can I try and bring you a little bit away from the wine because they've got lots of amazing bourbon cocktails. No, that's fair enough. Of course, they've got lots of beers as well, and they do beautiful local beers.

Can you drink bourbon?

Can? I? Yes?

And I can enjoy it.

I can enjoy it.

I enjoy it, enjoy it.

No, we're getting we're getting grimaces over here.

I've got to ask one quick question.
