This is three a w Breakfast with Ross Stephenson and Russell Haldcraft.
Twenty three minutes before six. Good morning to your rat money. Ross. He going yeah good, John brings news. Good morning John.
Morning.
Ross here going good. There's a p Yeah, there's a flier in Dina Plate riding klow and there's about ten shops along there. And I'm not sure if it's the smoke shop or not. I saw a police car pass, but there's a bit of tit shops along there. I'm not sure that shop.
Good on your John. Take two bottles of the Borderly Battery Shadow and I I'm not sure what the shop is that's been on fire. And Dina Parade there's chops there, Ross accorded to John. Yeah. Have you heard many stories of recent times about pet shops being said on fire? No, I'm not saying it's the back of the shop. But Damon Runyon, who is discussed at this time yesterday, once said the race is not always to the swiftest, nor the battle to the strongest, but that's the way to bet.
That's excellent.
Thank you for that, very good.
Thank you. You know how we love using AI here the magic Machine. My goodness. Yet, yeah, because we use perplexity. Right, Let's be honest about our magic machine is perplexity. However, if we're using work devices, we've been instructed we can only use Google, Gemini, Gemini cret right now, we're not
convinced that Google Gemini is much good. But I'm doing this morning the top seven before seven the singer songwriters as individuals, right, which is the reason the same Paul McCartney's not on the list, okay, but Bob Dylan may well be on the list, could be on the list. Too early to tell. But Stevens is on the list, maybe yeah, maybe maybe, But seven o'clock, just before seven
o'clock the table tell. So I wrote out my top seven in my handwriting and gave it to Damien and he looked at it, and he turned to me with a look of derision on his face and said, anyone from this century Beyonce is not there. No. So Scorcha goes off and he hops on a Gemini all right and says that pose the question to Gemini, which is ai, folks, who is the best singer songwriter of the twenty first century? Yeah, so the answer is taller swift, So the answer this
is what Google. Gemini says, I cannot answer this question. The best singer songwriter is subjective and depends on individual taste, critical acclaim, cultural impact, and other factors that are not defined by objective criteria. Oh Scor follows up with this, just have crack please.
Yeah, so he asked Gemini, just have a crack, but.
Not he said words to the effect of he said, I'm reading it just and so good. Picking the best singer songwriter of the twenty first century is incredibly tough because you will take that. But it goes on and it lists one, two, three, four, five, sixty seven.
Well, it's actually not that tough, is it, Because is there just about records sold or or DOWBT or Spotify downloads, It wouldn't be that hard.
The thing that would make it harder in the modern era is that there are no bands.
Or except you're just asking for a singer songwriter.
So yeah, but true because as we discovered observation on this program, they're no bands anymore, no one, no one has to whack you know, the Beach Boys, you know, they had no blokestuffs there and just bang the drums and you know, don't get a quarter of the whack up from the royalties. All these modern they just get the dosh all of themselves.
Always the next group. I mean, well, you know what you'd have to wonder, okay, is that the end of supergroups or is it just a cycle? You know, at some point in time the powers that be to determine, you know what, We're going to make supergroup out of X because they were as much as anything. Yes, they're obviously highly talented, but they are also a fabrication of the music industry.
Yeah, I'm just thinking of the greatest sort of a pointing of a group of people to be a band, may arguably be the Traveling Wilbury's. Yes, But I'm looking at Scorch now to get him to ask Gemini right the question who is currently the best musical group in the world? And I'm hoping like hell that it says this is a totally sub question, And then then Scorch might be able to ask it to have a crack. But I might ask him if it does that, to ask it to have a crack in the style of
Donald Trump, A nice idea. Okay, see whether it's what's what's the rest score? Are you putting up on the screen for me, Scorch, But it says defining the best musical group is highly subjective and depends on the criteria like sales, critical and cultural impact. Person However, so it must be I wonder whether it's remembered, Scortch, that the last time you told the just have a crack and oh this is good the Rolling Stones.
See and seems right they were formed in nineteen sixty two.
You too, who are they? Divide opinion? You too? Yes? Cold Play, Yes, I'd say similarly, perhaps divide opinion. And finally, this is this is truly Google Gemini's finest hour. Taylor Swift, Well, that's not the question, is it. Whilst not a group, Taylor Swift is currently not. Didn't ask you that, chump Champ.
So I've asked, I've asked a different AI top selling singer songwriter and it's just gone bang.
But with one person, With one person, well, I'm can I can I have a go confidently as folks at home form a view in their brain so that they can go ding or not, I'll put it.
But I did put twenty first century in this. Sorry, so top Singer Songwriter twenty first century.
Yeah, Top Singer Songwriter twenty first.
Yes, you'll get it.
It's not Tabers Swift. Okay, I'm going to say it's all close the I'm not Ed Sheeranon Ed Sharan is on the top of the list of A Separate Right, A Separate AI Machine. Do you remember that the listener rang us last year and said that they were having trouble. They were how do I describe this with their body? Their body was not being regular right? And I think
I suggested sillium husk. Yes, yes, I would suggest to anyone who has that current difficulty, I that Sillium husk or Galway Girl by Ed Sheeran, same effect.
I am pleased to say that Bruno Mars makes the list.
I think. I think Breno Mars is pretty elite. Yeah, I'll tell you who likes Bruno Mars. I think is Russell Morris? Yes, I think yes? Did he not mention that he did? Mention that? You're right? Right? So I listened to a song by Russell Morris yesterday, which is a beautiful song. And I'm going to text Damien all right so that we can you know, just keep this
nice and fresh. The name of the song and it's beautiful, and I was listening to it and I thought, I've got a genuine question about this song, but I don't. I guess I could AI it right, but I don't want There are some things you don't want to correct. I texted you one second ago. Okay, you'll remember it. Here we can around, mars me to read this week. It takes a long time to get to the chorus, Dames, so bumpa they head ten seconds and the kids worth
ten seconds? Did he write this ross? Here we go?
Rachel was coming?
Rachel is coming?
So it's such a beautiful sun as on the train listening to it. Question that I didn't want to AI. Where's she been Rael? Well, she sounds like she was in a war setting.
Okay, well she may well be like our mate m Bartlett, who's just been thirty five hours waiting for a flight.
But where's Rachel Being's coming home? Sounds like she was in what? So?
What?
Was she a nurse? Or there we go? But because in the modern era you would say, well, she might be well well and truly on the battlefield. She could be on the front line. Right. But given that that song was probably written in the nineteen sixties. It's unlikely she's been on a tour of Vietnam. So where's Rachel?
Why don't you ask Russell Morris?
You got his number, don't you? I think I do.
Well, that's better than that's better than Gemini go to the original source.
I think I'm allowed to say this. Russell Russell is going to perform at the Rumors Feast.
Yeah, well you can definitely say that, can't you, given it's your event.
We asked, We asked, and he said, yes, that's our annual charity event for kids first, So can you write the song list for him?
And if you were to write the songs for him, would you have Rachel's coming home?
So say, for russ was going to perform three songs, where is he on his tour at the moment? It'll tell us, asked Gemini. It will probably say he's currently in Saturn.
And I couldn't no, I couldn't possibly tell you.
And does anyone please don't ai or google it? Where has Rachel been in order for Rachel to be coming home? Damien says the pub Yeah, that'd be good. Please don't google it, Please don't ai. Where's Rachel? Bean? I remember I asked, a very nice fellow we lost recently called Tony Healy was a great friend of Russell's. Yeah, I said, how come people haven't covered Russell's songs? And he said, because no one can sing them as well as he can. Listen to this one for example. Okay, I'll stop talking
over the top of it, important thing. Top of eleven Today, folks thirty to six.

Couple of blokes after an alleged road rage incident that occurred in Seaper last night about eleven fifty pm. We had a bloke driving his porschel on the pan Highway when a blue holding Commondel was pulled up next to him a couple of blocks and the carabeanhoing harressed the occupants of the Porsche and asked him to pull over, and then have managed to make him take some evasive actions, so he's got off into an highway and we've been
called the Commonwealth. Was spotted at a servo in Chelsea a short time later split off as we've approached, tried the winter said that been unsuccessful. There could not the area used our vehicle mobilization devices. They were successfully deployed in needed file. Cows then dubbed an Aspendale airwing dog and asserted but then arrested a nine ten year old and twenty year old man. They've been in a beet in relation to theoing and the least pinning further inquiries.
Okay, a couple of quick questions did and the occupants by the vehicle get out of the car. Next question was the car stolen?
By making further inquiries? Immirationing of that one at this stage.
Goodat what else, Adam? Look, We've also had.
A good result from an attempted cardiaking which you chead in Elmore back on the sixteenth to Babril. We had a postal truck there. The drill was trying to get some packages out there too. Like the poached. One of them jumped into the car They're sorry, into the truck, reversedge into a tree before Hindu's nae and then got into the back and stole and to Marlon, but off with that one. Investigators, I've done some good work and they've charged a thirty year old man from in New
Creek in relation to that matter. So that one's happened yesterday, the charging of him, and.
That was in Elmore. Yes, correct, good on you. And I've got a quick true or false for us.
The butterfly's taste with their feet.
Yes I do, yes, Yes, I spoke to one and they told me this spring rolls off. Yes true.

No okay. For Two Bottles of the Borderly. One of my favorite ac DC songs is problem Child. One of the first two words of problem Child for Two Bottles of the Borderly the Buttery Shadow. It's arguably my favorite starting two words to any song ever. And I was reading about him yesterday. I looked up what's his real name? But his real name is Ronald, and he was called Bond because from lots of read but it comes from Bonnie Scotland because they were Scottish, and I didn't double
check this. However, I'll pose it in the hope that I'm right. What if Bond, Scott and Alan Jones got in common? One, three, six, nine three, Good on you, Adam. We'll catch up again tomorrow.

Seven minutes after six on a Wednesday morning on three W to the Affairs of the Day and the United States President Donald Trump has launched the blistering attack on Israel and the Round for breaching his ceasefire, saying they are saying this.
I'm not happy with Israel. You know when I say, okay, now you have twelve hours, you don't go out in the first hour. It just drop everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iron either. But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because there one rocket that didn't land, that was shot perhaps by mistake.
That didn't land.
I'm not happy about that.
What we have, we.
Basically have two countries that have been fighting, so long and so hard that they don't know what stuff.
Reducted they're doing. Do you understand that? Nasty dun very nasty.
Yeah, well, you know what, I was just wondering about that. So my assumption is that Israel persuaded America to go and bomb, you know, use their mops and then yeah, they then they sort of start flinging them at each other.
Again. Well, I'd like to know. There's a simple question, is there is it they're currently a ceasefire or not.
There is a ceasefire and I believe it's holding now, and I.
Don't know, I have no idea. All I know is that for the second day in a row, the Dale Jones is up in Let me just check that live. It's up, yes, a little over one percent again, so I would think it would be down if the ceasefire wasn't holding. Here's a question I've got nine o three two fifty to fifty. Should Donald Trump have sworn? It's a great question, nine three two fifty to fifty Should
Donald Trump have sworn? And I've got a number of question It is a little disinhibited for a the US president to use that word in public exhibits a degree of disinhibition. But anyway, we'll see what the folks think. Should Donald Trump have sworn nine O three two fifty to fifty? My other question was Scorcher came in. We both were thinking along the same lines, and I don't know whether we spoken to Damien about creating this, but surely it would have been mister Gorbachev, tear down this
redacting a little more. We have nothing to fear but redacting fear itself four four score and ten redacting years ago from Abe. Yes. So my question that I then started to think was when did American president stop making great speeches? Well, so let's go back, so Barden, no, Biden. I can't think of anything. No, but Barack Obama for sure. I mean, well, was Barack Obama's big moment? Well, I can't.
I can't recall the big moment, but it would have involved It would have involved the word hope for sure.
I it would be hello, redacting Chicago, Hello.
Yeah, yeah, true, that's true. But I mean above it was known for his ability to string a sentence.
Together, that was, how about this one from World War two? Broad and redacted upland it might be redacting Broad Suddenly upland, Yes, exactly right. Do you know that we went and tried once to find the domain name broad suddenly uplands dot com and gone somebody who already had it. I'll tell you what, Ronald gave out a place in the world and a broad Suddenly upland sounds pretty good.
Ronald Reagan, of course not not necessarily known for his oratory skills. However, could you tell a joke?
It was great joke teller. But we're going to go ahead and make my redacting day when he had the legislative veto pen in his hand, right, So who was the last US president to deliver a great speech? Should Donald Trump have sport sworn nine O three two fifty fifty.
Other stories are around this morning front page of the Heros on the Westgate Tunnel is set to cost almost double its initial six billion dollar budget, with Transurban officially informing the government fresh blowouts are respected to top one point five billion and let us not forget it, has been reported by Rod Simms, the former head of the
A Triple C, and Nick McKenzie of the Age. They both agree with the assessment that the involvement of the CFMEU on a government building project increases the cost by thirty percent.
Now this this Transurban? Did I read it correctly? That it's a toll road the West Gate Tunnel, so Transurban. So the great thing about toll roads is that they just keep on paying right there. It's like it's certainty of cash flow into let's call it eternity whilst you're asleep exactly. So Transurban as the receiver of funds as a result of the toll I've got no issue with receiving cash today.
No. Well, I raised this subject with young Sophie Clemenzo here and I said, now, let me answer this question. Sophie. If you were supposed to spend one hundred dollars on something and you came back and you told your boyfriend Henry that you'd actually you'd spent two hundred and fifty dollars, surely you would say sorry. And she said, yeah, whoopsies. I would love just cinder Allen to come out today, Yeah,
front of the media. And when asked about the fact that this has blown out by more than one hundred percent, I wanted to Cinderellen to say, whoopsies.
Well, the thing I don't know the contract, but Transurban have got no issue with getting the cash in order to pay the bills, whereas perhaps the government's got an issue with actually, you know, having the funds to pay Transurban.
Precisely as I would love to do. You say sorry at any stay, surely you say sorry or at least whoopsies.
Right, Maybe you can say sorry now what? Because the next state election still what fifteen months away? So maybe you could say it now and then. But I'll tell you what is yet closer to November next year, the won't be a lot of sorry.
Going on, and I'll be a lot of whoopsies. Might be a lot of whoosies. Great whoopsies of history have been the great whoopsies of history. One duble three six nine three Are you good to read?
The Victorian economy is going well as a result of tourism.
I didn't realize that.
Oh yeah, that was good. So third from the bottom on your list there.
Yeah, Victoria's tourism economy is hit new heights, with international traveler spending a record nine billion dollars in the year in March twenty twenty five. I haven't seen one. Have you seen one international tourist? Yes?
Yes, the China is still coming here lots of South Koreans. I love going to around the lane and looking at all the street art on the lanes of Melbourne.
Do you want me to keep that? Donald Trump swearing open Dame? We can finish it, right, Should Donald Trump have sworn? The result is sixty to forty? I don't know what the answer neither are Sixty percent of people said oh yes, and.
Forty said that's enough.
Put down the make okay. Other stories around this morning from page of the Age Expensive COVID nineteen anti virals do not prevent hospitalization or death for people who are vaccinated. Oh good news, right, Well not really, no, I know that was I was being facetious. Last time I had COVID, I don't mean how long ago. That was two years something like that. I got straight onto the anti virals,
I remember, Yeah, I tested. I got sick on the Monday, had to test tested positive, standard started on the antivirals and I tested negative on Wednesday two days later. Right, I'm a big believer in any virals, but's and I've been vaccinated. But this says they don't. They don't. They don't prevent hospitalizational death, right, but it would be good. If they prevented you, you'd still take them. If they prevented you from getting seriously ill, would you? Yes, and we should speak to.
It stops you from going to hospital or worse, then yeah, sure.
Well no, I'm saying that it's the article says it doesn't prevent hospitalization or death for people who are vaccinated. Okay, but what if it prevented you just from getting sick? Like really sick? And Scorer is a coming to you. Daniel Scorcher is the king of matching stories in the papers. This morning, Haroldson eleven. Secret to a longer life, Keep hitting the books. The studies found that Australian males age twenty five with a high level of education of seven

Yes, Scorcher has put those two stories together and said want to live forever? Read the brothers Caramezov and drive a fee at punto Daniel Rutner, who was the last What was the last good speech by a US president?
Good morning, R and R.
It was Barack Obama at the Democratic Convention in the lead up to his election. He accepted his nomination as a Democratic nominee, and he talked about a few things. He said, there's not a liberal America, a conservative America. There's the United States of America. There's not a black America, a white America, and a Latino America, and an Asian America. There's the United States of America. Bath Kicker was, there's not red states, there's not blue states. We are the United States of America.
Daniel, thank you very much. I accept that, and not a listed goes. Can we go back to fine? Please, Damien, ask not what your redacting country can do for you, ask what you can do for your redacted country. Nice. Justin Today we're turning up the heat with three WS thirty thousand dollars cash giveaway.
All this week, breakfast mornings, afternoons of drive will be spinning the big cash wheel.
I don't have it with me today, Rossill.
You'll have to do the spinning when you hear the cuter call, which is this here this hash. Give us a call on multiple three six nine three for your chance to spin.
Don't call now.
Three w's thirty thousand dollars cash giveaway.
What did we do yesterday? Five hundred dollars? I think Ross and the cuter call again is here. There's hash but that's later on sixteen, after six on train, take them by, Adam, stay with us, Adam. But after this interview Adam and Shane and a couple of other people pointing out that possibly Bill Clinton gets a run, but we're trying to find out a way of rephrasing it. Winter brings a spike in medical emergencies on Melbourne's Metropolitan trains,
with seven hundred passengers needing help last year. Chloe Smith, Metro's head the station. Chloe, good morning, dear, you're there, Chloe, I'm.
Here this morning, Russ and Russ thanks.
For having me.
No worried? So what happens if I have central chest pain? Between Melbourne Central and Parliament? What happens?
We're really hoping that you will be able to press the red emergency button in the train, or that a very helpful passenger nearby will be able to do it for you, and then you'll be able to chat to the driver and they can coordinate some help.
So Chloe, what evidence or have you got any information with regard to passengers. Are they swift to get a hold of that red emergency button if they see someone in trouble?
Yeah, they generally are, which is very helpful because we've got a new process where once the driver is alerted, they can communicate with our passenger Control center and we can work out where help is available and how we can get that faster. And sometimes it's safer to keep the train moving to a better location rather than stopping straight away.
Yeah. If I've got central Chest pain between Parliament and Melbourne City, the last thing I want is the train to stop.
No, he I wanted to stop. We want to get you to a station so we can get emergency services.
So what does the red button do? Does it? It obviously goes off in the driver's cabin. Does the driver have any protocols about what he must do? Then?
Yeah, the driver does, so they make sure that it's safe for them to answer that train. But we don't want anyone to see it feel afraid or hesitant about pressing it in an emergency. That's the best way that we can get onto the driver.
Okay, Chloe, Why Winter, why is there an increase a spike in the medical emergencies in the winter months.
So our illnesses are often due to slips or falls, dehydration and overheating. And that last one is the one that really surprises people in winter. But when it picks degrees outside and then you step into the balmi twenty two degrees inside the train, the passengers in heavy coats and beanies can tend to overheat pretty quickly.
Good on yeah, okay, but not so much in summer.
We see other challenges in summer and we always encourage o pass young just to make sure they've got water with them when they travel in summer. But it is a really interesting spike that we see in winter.
So Chloe if Ross gets central chest pain. Between Parliament and are the defibrillators on trains.
We don't have them on trains, but we're really proud we've got them at all of our staff stations across the network, and our stations teams are trained in how to use them.
I know otherways get me to Parliament.
Because it is a banned station.
Yeah, all well, injuries come in many forms. In because the rim I File informed us last year, of course, that an alarm was set off by a couple who are having as mccon, we see all.
Types of injuries the network to keep us in the face.
Yeah, thanks for reminding me of that. Yeah, not so much. Vry Chloe. Lovely to chat with you so early in the morning. Thanks for being available. Chloe Smith, Metro's head of stations. So we know. I've catch the train every day. I ever noticed the red button? Have you ever noticed the red bin?
I have noticed the red button, and it's really pleasing to hear that if people think they need to press it, they do.
Adam give us Bill Clinton's great speech.
I did not have redacting relations with that one.
Yeah, yeah, or I did not have redact I did not have redactions. I did not have redactions with that woman. Answer to that assertion, yes she did. It's twenty three out to six.
I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again.
I did not have redactive sports reports for Underworks the Comfiest Coziest Warmers, Thermals and socks for Winter Underworks The Wonder down Under for Socks.
Six twenty five. John Anderson has six bundles of the Badly Wood Farteath Charan.
We spoke a couple of weeks ago. About is Test cricket better now than say it was sixty seventy eighty years ago. And I don't think cricket is a better They're better trained, but I can guarantee they score a lot lot quicker than they used to in the old days. And we saw that last night where England chase what was a three hundred and seventy odd to beat India with five wickets remaining. Ben Ducketts scoring one hundred and forty nine from one hundred and seventy balls. Ben Ducket's
a little left hand. It looks like he could be an extra in a Harry Potter movie. He just not looked like a chess cricker. He's got well, let's see when he comes to Australia later this summer and on a bouncy wickets with Cummins and Stark and the like. But g he's been exciting and what England's done has been exciting. But in reality, the Australia was doing that twenty years ago. We started twenty five to thirty years ago. No driws and let's go for it and run rates
for increase. When I was really young as a kid, Test cricket was dying. It was dying very quickly. He had scoring rates at one point seven, one point eight and over. And there was a series in Australia where a person got the two captains together and said you have to save ten cricket. Who was the person who asked the two captains to do that by plane entertaining cricket? Richie Beno was one of the captains. Okay one double, three, six nine three. So Frank Warre was the other captain.
And it probably helped that a bloke called Sabers was playing for the West Indies and normal O'Neil for instance, was playing for Australia. Who could be Sabers on a given day. But what England did was bred. We speak a lot about a young man called Gaupgout. He made his European to view overnight in Czechoslovakia. In Australia he ran brilliantly breaking his own Australian record in the turn to meet us to win the race. I would suggest that Cameron Myers is every bit as good as Gaupgout.
He's an Australian teenager, nineteen year old who overnight and three twenty nine point eight in the fifteen hundred meters to break three point thirty for the first time, second fastest time ever by in Australia. He's a total superstar, Cameron Myers, so just please remember that name you too, Cameron Myles. Peter boil round really well to win the eight hundred in one forty three point eight. What it is our athletes? I don't think I've ever been better.
It's Brilli at the moment. It's so exciting for athletics Australia or Australia Athletics. I never know which one it is, Which one is it? They flipped them Australia Athletics have We got a Test match starting tonight in Kensing and beat US which comes on about what are they behind seventeen hours? I think, so it comes on about midnight our time where Josh English is going to bat at four,
Cameron Green will remain at three. That makes sense to me now, Cameron Green, you've got to hope you've got a number three long term and I put English there, but English doesn't bat there for Western Australia and Green, to my way, I think he has to be in the side. Steve Smith's at four, so that's where English For about Steve Smith's been injured for this test?
What about a little McSweeney.
Well, he was picked as an opener, which was unfair on him.
They said, you've never played as an opener before. We'd love you to open against Jaspert Brumer. The long term plan for.
Nathan McSweeney will be that he replaces Steve Smith at them before and could even captain Australia. And he's not in the side yet and fair away from it that he is so hardly thought of. So Donald Bradman Chap called Donald George Bradman was the person who us ninety sixty sixty one. We're the greatest series in the history of Test cricket in Australia.
Who you got that? Who was got? Jeff Purcell from Lily Dale? It's grouse or Shower's time jump on the line? Now tell us what's grouse or shouse? One double three six nine, three six thirty on ow, Good.

But my grouse is the younger set This morning us an expression I've never heard of it. I suspect you've never heard them called mook bank. Have you heard of what a miok? Bang is nolled m u k ba ng.
Mook bang is a term that originated in South Korea and refers to an online audio visual broadcast where a host each large quantities of food that apparently is entertainment. That's a miok bang. I'm about to show you a photograph of a mook bang in progress. And I showed it to Young Izzy, who's a work experienced student here who I don't know, sixteen years of age, something like that, fifteen, and she said, oh, yeah, he's famous. Now look at that.
Oh jeez, And I mean, honestly.
Mayer said, Russell's not going to like that photograph. No, it is of a morbidly obese woman and a.
Man who is what not morbidly obese, but nearing.
Nearing on his way. They are sitting and they have an enormous plate of fried food and chips and the like in front of them. But I would estimate the width of the plate as three feet. Yes, that apparently is a mook bang. And I showed that to young Izy. He goes, oh, yeah, that's famous. That's Nick Avocado Avocado. Apparently he's a famous mook banger. The idea of watching complete strangers. Gorman Diyes is your idea of entertainment head for a mook bang.
So a couple from me ross So M Barnette, who of course we spoke to yesterday.

She's finally on a plane on the way home. I believe she said thirty five hours without sleep, but she's finally on the way home, which is great news.
And just another grouse.
Some more gas was found in Bastrait, So I don't know what they're going to do with it, but Woodside and x On found some more gas, so let's find out what happens to it.
Well, presumably what happens when we find gas in Victoria is that people sit around looking at.
It maybe or does it get put on a ship and send elsewhere?
And then seriously, and I know that people were curious. Yes, we were able to have a whip around here and get some cash to M bann at Doha airport yesterday. Her flight was canceled three times and she hasn't slept for thirty five hours. But we believe she's on a flight home now. One double three six down three and he's at Grouse from Damien.

Actually, I've just been in contact with my daughter in Doha. She has been in a queue for seventeen and a high half hours and still isn't in a hotel to be redirected to another flight or continuing flight.
Well, we thought that flights had resumed in and out of Doha quite some time ago, maybe even twenty four hours. What's the problem, Ruenna.
It's just their processing situation. There's cues and cues of people with no order.
No.
Direction. It's just ridiculous. So they finally got to the front of the queue. They've been given a hotel, but now they're deciding which hotel to send them to and that's taken an hour so far.
That's dreadful, Ruenna. That's touch of the Bob Dylans. No direction home. John Grass of Shouts Shouse.
Johnson Brown's comment about child abuse for the Carlton supporter given his daughter barracks for Carlton.
He didn't say child abuse. It was much more amusing than that. And that is a summation. And what's happened for the Blues for that poor young fella. Mum and dad had brought him today full of hope.

Raws and good Wednesday morning, RUSS. As the Donald Trump broker and ceasefire was coming into effect both Israel and Iran. We're trying to inflict maximum damage. Israel accuses Iran of launching missiles into its airspace after the truth with the Israelis en route to retaliate.
I don't like the fact that Israel went out this morning at all, and I'm going to see if I.
Can stop it.
That's a furious President Trump, just before flying to the Netherlands for the NATO summit.
See basically, who cutses that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what's up there doing.
You understand that a couple of cable and broadcast networks let Trump's xp it is go to air Ed O'Keefe in the Netherlands for CBS, says Trump, then work the phones aboard Air Force one over the Atlantic.
The White House telling us that he spoke directly with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nan Yahoo and as the White House says, he was quote exceptionally firm and direct with Prime Minister at Yahoo about what needed to happen to sustain the ceasefire. Israeli media reporting similarly that they did speak and that n Yaho seemed to be getting the message.
And Israel's defense forces after that call, it did not launch further attacks. Martha Raddits has had decades of covering global affairs for the American ABC.
This ceasefire is clearly very fragile, but no one needs it more right now than Iran, with its nuclear and ballistic missile program smoldering. It is also a country in chaos. Its revolutionary guard leadership wiped out, its supreme leader still in hiding, leaving questions about who is in charge, and that could lead to ongoing violations of the ceasefire.
Many worried the war might widen after the US joined the attacks by dropping bunker buster bombs at the weekend. It was only yesterday that Tehran launched a limited retaliatory strike on a US military basin Katar. Then Ross and russ Trump announced the ceasefire.

Good morning to you guys. World leaders gathering in the Netherlands for this week's NATO summit had been joined by Donald Trump. The chief of NATO and former Dutch Prime Minister sent the US President a message before he arrived, praising him for his precisive and extraordinary action in Iran, which he added, nobody else would have dared to do. This private message massaging the ego of Trump, was made
public by the President. Asked if he was embarrassed that his amazing brown nosing had been revealed, NATO's chief answered no. In reality, the message meant to highlight the fact that all or almost all of NATO's members are to agree to spend five percent of their country's economic output on defense, something the US President has been demanding. If the ceasefire between Iran and Israel holds, this could be a very good week for Donald Trump. But will he come to
the rescue of another NATO member if they're attacked. The so called Article five section of NATO's founding principles well, that remains to be seen to the UK now, where a phone snatcher has been convicted using evidence from a shoe he left at the scene of the crime. Dubbed the Cinderella Thief, the twenty eight year old suspects stole a handset from the victim's grasp in London in August.
In the ensuing struggle, one of his trainers came off and police were able to identify sufficient levels of DNA on it to match the sample with that of a known offender. Ross and Rouss with sentencing in September. He really will regret leaving that ball in such a hurry.
Good only. I'm just noting from that report that when she says the Netherlands NATO are actually meeting in the Hague, what about the Hague? I am the You've got a top seven coming up, don't you?

Then I didn't have to seven time to play three a w thirty thousand dollars cash giveaway on the line is Brett from Mount Eliza, and alright, I Brett Scorch is gonna spin from you. I'm jealous because Russell's in Sydney. I'm going to go Scorch. Here we go. Brett better than me. Well, he's got bigger muscles and he is going around eighty three thousand times and it's going to stop. Please stop there. Fifteen one hundred dollars Brett.
Mate.
Nice nice spread. I think press said, come in spinner. Well done, Brett, fifteen hundred bucks. Nice work, Scorch. Scotch had an idea that you could use this for the cost of government building projects. Nice. I'm just spinning around, Okay, go ahead.
We're spending the wheel and breakfast mornings afternoons and drives. So stayed listening for your chance to win on Melbourne's own three a W and you might win fifteen hundred dollars.
Very good. The Westgate Tunnel is set to cut this front page of the something set to cost almost double its initial six billion dollar budget, with Transurban officially informing the gubment. Fresh blowouts are expected to top one point five billion. Saw slag is an indo pend of economists. So when mums and dads say, build a house, generally speaking they could bring it in on budget and they don't end up paying twice. How does this happen? Well, that's right.
More normally, when people contract have a new home built for them, there's a fixed price contract, and if there are cost increases, which there often are, the builders have to wear that. They have to absorb that into their budget. And indeed, because they have been very significant cost increases since COVID in building materials and labor costs and the like, some builders who had fixed price contracts with their customers and experience these cost increases have gone broke or been
unable to finish their homes. That's the risk that home buyers face. But with government contracts it seems there's no such thing as a fixed price contract, and it's in many cases the public sector, the government that bears the risk of escalating costs, rather than the private sector. Is one of the myths about so called public private partnerships that supposedly transfer the risk from the government from the
taxpayers to the private sector. Often the private sector higher fancy lawyers who write complicated contracts that mean the risks end up back with the taxpayers with the government, and this may appears to be another illustration of that.
It's also I don't know whether this is the right words, but to be fair, the state government actually hasn't done the cost blower.
It's Transurban.
Well, yes, that's right, But it would appear that that cost blowout will either come back to the government in what it pays Transurban to build it, or that motorists will be hit with higher tolls when the road opens.
I don't know. There's a political question maybe rather than an economic question, Saul, At what point would you expect and that the Victorian taxpayer would get an apology as in I'm sorry.
Well, that is, as you say, a political question. The current government has made no apologies for the dramatic build up in debt that's occurred on its watch that has essentially put Victoria in a worse position than it was in nineteen ninety two at the end of the Cane Kearney years. And unlike back then, Victoria doesn't have a whole slew of assets that it can sell off in order to pay down that debt, as Jeff Kennett and
Alan Stockdale did during their terms in office. So Victoria is in a pickle, and Victorian voters are right to be very angry about that. Unfortunately for them, it doesn't look as though they have an opposition that they can credibly turn to to remedy those problems. So the issues that Victoria is now confronting in terms of persistent deficits and debt are going to be around for a long time, it would say, So, Soul.
I'm wondering the West guy tunnels you to be a toll road because it's a toll road. Does that enable them to perhaps not manage costs as best as they could because I know they're going to get certainty of cash flow into the future.
Well, well, that's a question you have to put to transerve it, I mean, they would say, And they'd had some basis for saying that across Australia and around the world, infrastructure projects have been faced by ongoing cost blowouts, and they might say this is no different although are doubling and the cost does make you wonder whether the initial
estimates were rather too rosy. If I were the Victorian government, I'd be asking myself whether the business case for this project ought to be revisited and perhaps some thought given to whether the project should be canceled. After all, there are precedents for this government canceling projects as they did when they first came to office, and cancel the major project that the Bayu nap Feign government had poured in.
Yeah, or how about canceling the Commonwealth Games at a cost of six hundred million?
Right?
And I've just received a text of the first transurban contract was a fixed contract.

Yeah, we bought it. We bought it for a dollar from Mervak and then developed it as a football training center and now it sold it to someone else, the AFL for ten to fifteen million. That is not government money. We don't have any winjet about this.
I've done that quite a music Zach John Butters has to make a decision on his future later this year. He said he will put it off until season's end. He spoke about whether he comes back to Melbourne, to his home city. He said, foody makes me most happy. Family is good, friends are good, but foody makes me most happy. Seek this in comment that what is one thing well that that have been put off to the
relationship with his parents. But I certainly I remember sitting at dinner one night and still met the greatest highlights in your life. There's a bloke sitting there who was the father of three children, and he said without a diet, a doubt playing in an AFL premiership faster past, seeing the birth of my three children, and the women at the table were outraged, and I thought about it later. I totally got what he said, because.
I think a lot of people saying, men saying that the best thing that've happened when was being at the birth of their children, say it because they think they have to be heard to say it.
Say it. The best thing I did was becoming your father and then seeing the growth of your children, but not that specific moment necessarily.
I don't think.

Oh good in New Churchill, Well he wasn't happy. He's also opined on Carlton.
They basically have twenty three players that they don't know what the ah come on.
One level three six nine three. But what when have you not known what the Redact you're doing? Oh?
God?
One double three six nine three. There is an obvious maybe the folks don't recall a time in their life when they didn't know what the Redact they were doing. Well, we were talking about it.
When you have your first child earlier Ross, you don't know what the Redact you're doing when that first child comes home.
In fact, I now have three examples of when I didn't have a Can we put that on the screen so I don't knock it up? Not knowing what the Redact I was when we got our first child, Joseph, back home, and after a few days, put him in the pram and went for a walk Brunswick Street, fitz Roy. This woman stopped us and we thought she was going to say, what a beautiful looking baby, And she said what are you doing? And we said, we're going for a walk. She said he shouldn't be out for a walk.
Go home straight away. So we thought, oh my god, what have we done. We told it we didn't know that we met, that we'd met mad Martha. Well we assumed because we didn't, we didn't know what the redact we were doing. Yes, I can absolutely totally empathize, but do you know it?
You know, in the mood Ross, in the mood that's on that we play for Monday mood, there is a rim shot Scorchu will relate to this. There's a rimshot that comes in on the four so one two, three four right, And that rimshot is actually quite difficult to get right.
And I have had to.
I've been in a situation where I didn't know what the redact I was doing.
I've just got another example one numble three, six, nine and three When didn't you know the redact. Can we put that back on screen because someone's bound of stuff that is up? What the redact you were doing? Scorch.
I remember the first day I worked at throughout w I was two thousand and three. I was about eighteen eighteen or nineteen. Neil Mitchell's programmed talk about you know, diving into the deep end.
Oh yeah all.
I was thrust onto the phones by Rachel Rollo and the lines just lit up like a Christmas tree. I didn't know what the redact I was doing, and.
We still don't.
And Neil was looking at me and she said, get off the redacting phone and sit over there.
And I was in residential college at Melbourne University one day doing what we did most of the time. I was sleeping and I was woken up. Hang on. I said, why are you waking me? And I said NACAS hasn't turned up. And I said, well, that does it affect me? He said, well, you are now representing the college in
the squash Grand final. So I had to pull on some clubber and go and play the Jeff hunt pretendial Jonah Barrington even of them is Jeff Hunted, and I ended up blowing a liver at me here, I didn't know what the Redact.
I was doing.
The rules only vaguely made no difference. You know this story.
I was once invited to speak at the National Press Club in Canberra, and which was fine, and I got there and then I had a few problems because I thought I was actually John Anderson, the Deputy Prime Minisota, and I didn't want to hear about Miam at a football I couldn't know what the.
Hell I was doing in there one level three six nine three. When didn't you know what the redact you were doing? Stuart?
Good morning guys.
Yeah.
At school we had to do a language.
And so it was French or German, and like I got German and I was having trouble with English.
Lett alone, give me a language to learn.
Oh yeah, I can totally understand that. Stuart, a son of mine a couple of years ago, had to choose a language and he chose German. I unchosed it for him and substituted French. And Steve, when did you not know what the redact you were doing?
Good morning? Back in the eighties, russ when I was a very unconfortable Russell Street, they used to send us down to the the FSL for his example, Aboritory Danning spring Street. To do it an afternoon shift and party shift was to sit on the old pushing switchboard.
You know, you pulled the leading from the leading.
We had no idea what we were doing with this.
Is the moment we were cutting people often.
Put there.
Sorry to push it, but not just crush your head.
But there'll be important things. Steve, was that you looked like you knew what you were doing, because all you had to do is we could all do that because we've seen it on Telly. Don't pull one out, push on in Steve. That's excellent.
Deb Yes, good morning. I didn't know what the redat I was doing. God, I did it right in.

Come on, God, this is the.
One that we Someone did know what they were doing, and it was a company I used to work for, and in the men's toilet at the urinal, someone had written on the wall. At this point in time, you are the only react person that actually knows what you were doing in this company.

He will all these super guys.
Yeah, A bit like a squash game. And I'll get another example, because I was saying this scorch off air saying I don't know whether I've got any examples from radio, And then one occurred to me, and there's luck with to have it. It is Wednesday. Some years back. Sly said he'd organized a special guest for us to interview a visiting Greek detective. So how interesting visiting Greek detective.
So the Greek detective comes into the studio, sits down, He's got a heavily he spokes in, speaks in the heavily Greek accent in English, telling all these stories and some of them are quite bizarre. And I was a little bit confused. Then I noticed he lost his Greek accent and was speaking like Paul Hogan. I think, what's going on here? And there was a complete stiff chap organized by Sly to have this fake Greek policeman come in and be interviewed. And Sly said, didn't his name
give it away to you? And I looked at the blake's name on the screen, Conspirasos in the words of my father, almost I didn't know whether to spits you or go blind. Nicole round us off? When did you not know the Redact?
You were doing every single day, Fellas, every single day, bringing it as a mom, winging it as a nana, bringing it at work.
And I'm just a wringing ship.
I love it. Winging it. You need to you need to organize for yourself. The cole winging it dot com and Scorch reminds me, do you remember the taxi driver who turned up at the BBC and they thought he was the tech expert to speak on a particular subject, so they bugged me on Tilly. It's like conspirasos sly remind me who the actual I think it was a policeman, the you know, someone from vic Pole, but I've got
no idea. We'll ask him after eight this morning. We'll ask him after eight showers a top of eleven degrees. That's right, eleven degrees.

Just somethink. And I went across finishing here the other day, two days ago, to catch the escalator down to catch the train home, and coming up the escalator was a man multi skilling. I was very impressed. He was coming up the escalator having got off the train reading a book, so he didn't see me. So I never got an opportunity to say hello to Tony Moclair reading a book
on an escalator. That takes some dedication, some skills. Sheridan Rudder, PhD Student working in health economics at Monash University and author of this study, Sheridan, is it all about reading?
Well?
That makes me feel any better? I used this information to get my kids to stay in school and read as well.
So we're all on the.
Same page there. But yes, we have found that the level of education that you achieve impacts the quantity of life and the quality of your life.
And why men, Well, we looked at.
Men and women but the gap was largest in males. We suspect that the changes the gap I guess reduced women hit sort of thirty forty fifty, So that might reflect some of the societal roles that they play where they're not employed as much, for example.
So Sheridan must have been a very robust study, because you know, like you're saying seven point three years, that's pretty accurate.
Yes.
Yes, we used nationally representative data, so data from the census and death registrations and from a large national survey called the Household Income and Labor Dynamic Survey, and we looked at so the NYBER according there for life expectancy, but we also incorporated health flow quality of life to get your years of healthy I guess your life epplquency in terms of healthy years, and the gap there was even larger. So for males it was eleven point one years.
I'm equating education with reading, and I wonder whether that's right. And the more I reflected it, even though we're speaking working on the spot shred, I suspect education is about reading, isn't I ah, Yes, of.
Course that's part of it. And I think you know, this paper doesn't show causality that you know, education causes health problems. But obviously if you are more well and well educated, you can interact more with your peers, you can have perhaps different employment opportunities and better health literacy, so you can navigate the health system better.
So, Sheridan, am I showing some sort of bias if I think that socioeconomic status also plays a role.
Absolutely? So this is why we look at education, because it's a measure of your socio economic status. At the individual level. You can also look at things like you know, seaf the scores and remote this area, but that assumes that everybody living in that postcode is more or less the same, whereas education is specific to you.
I mean, it's pretty exciting, ross, isn't it the very idea that if you read, read a lot, get yourself educated.
You go and have a longer life. I mean, right, great, Yeah, that's pretty good, Sheridan. Nice to chat with you, Sheridan Rudder. As she said, it doesn't necessarily it's not a case the rustle of post hawkergo Propter. Howk I love post Hawker Proctor Hawk? Have I got that right? By the way, can you look it up? A scorch. Does that mean it follows? Therefore it is caused by damn radio solutions done? The other question, they answered, a bet settled or some
help with your homework? And dear m Barnett's to whom we spoke yesterday, We asked whether she had what movie she saw on her initial leg from London to Doha, and she said she didn't see a movie. She read a book. Very impressive. It is six minutes to eight. Oh bless, you don't have to do that.
Instant radio solutions. God a gurgle one hundred percent, no digging guarantee from the drain man. Call us, we'll fix it fast one eight hundred drain man.
Charles question, Yes, sir, I have fol statistic suppliers. We have a statistic called meters gained. Now, when a plier handballs will kicks backwards, does that record a negative begins to code?
No, in fact, Charles, it is counted as meters gained. But nice observation from you, Charles, Michael. I more directed you.
Rightcum A pat on the back, Yeah, two horses a dollar four on the nose and a black crowd fifty bar if they both draw on the light door I get my fifty bucks, so I'll get the dollar four.
What happens, well the fifty for the fifty to one chance you get twenty five to one and for the dollar four you would get a dollar two. I would think maca question.
I'm wondering when that bloke who's talked about the old switchboard, who would be the two most unlikely people if you said yes, Yeah, Let's say mister Trump says put me through to putin and the guy pulls that bit of string out, bangs it in there? And why if he bug him onto?
Hannibal Lecter had an excellent.
Question three aw Breakfast thanks to Devil Boutique, the home of Smile Makeovers BRWN Mornings and Angelo Smile Proud at devilboutique dot com dot au.
Seven minutes after it's time for the bedding, questions from the day's news on.
Who and where and where?
Who?
Who would bully that young Carlton supporter for being blue about his footy team?
Not on a ross?
Where is the Kenned years fixed price contract it was known as a boot when you need it? And when will Prince and or Stevie Wonder be in Ross's Top seven singer songwriters.
I haven't done this, of course, I've completely forgotten. It's almost as if we do it every day. Who is John Anderson going to include in his counter top seven singer songwriters of all time? Good idea a little bit before seven tomorrow? Where is the next politician who's going to drop an F bomb in public life? And when am I going to read my next book? Come on? And what should it be? A powerful I think I
saw this on the news last night. A powerful new telescope in Chile has released its first images, showing off and precedented ability to appear into the dark depths of the universe. In one picture, vast colorful gas and dust clouds swirl in a star forming region nine thousand light
years from Earth. We could also do the top seven Damien, make the challenge of this half hour coming up with the top seven songs that mentioned distance Professor Fred Watson, Australia's Astronomer at Large with the Department of Industry Innovation in Science first Thing's first professor and by the way, thank you who owns it?
Well, that's a really good question. It's the National Science Foundation's funding that's gone to this telescope. But I think the telescope itself is an independent organization. It's probably also connected with something called noir Lab, which is the National Optical Infrared Laboratory in the United States. So it's very much an American based instrument, even though it is down
there in the mountains of northern Chile. But it's got international connections as well, including the UK and a place called Australia. We are linked with the Via Sea Rubin Observatory, and we're very proud to.
Be to be doing that.
So, Professor, when you saw these pictures, were you, I mean, the average panther we're blind away, but were you yes?
It?
Whilst I was indeed. Look, we've been waiting for this telescope for more than a quarter of a century, and its speciality is something that you don't see when you see these wonderful images. The images themselves are stunning, and the telescope's capability is in many ways unequaled in that. But what really makes it special is something that we in the gobbledegoot words that astronomers use. It's the transient universe, and by that I mean things that change in the universe.
So the telescope every three nights will survey the whole sky, the whole southern sky, and that means that you can do this over and over again, and it lets you see things that change in the universe, and that's its real strength. And of course that includes things like nearby asteroids, ones that might.
Be threatening the Earth.
They will be detected very readily by the telescope. But it also includes things that go bang in the night, deep in the universe, stuff like supernover explosions, things that we don't really know too much.
About now, Professor has this telescope being developed in order to give us a better view of what we already know is there? Or is it to give us a view of something we didn't know? Who's there? We have a look at it and blow me down. There's a blug in the top left end corner of the universe having a capati watching television.
If we find that blow it's probably a woman actually not a bloke. But if we find them, that'll be great because we have we have the known very much at our you know, at our disposal with this telescope.
So you're right, you've absolutely pinned it there. It is to find things that we did not know about and that includes, as I said, exploding styles, includes flair stars, really weird things that go on in the universe that when we try and understand them, might one day help us understand our own world and you know, bring bring new inventions to us and things.
Of that sort.
So, Professor I have a silly question for you, and there's an assumption attached. Professor Ross hasn't seen Interstellar?
Do you think you should?
Yes?
You should.
Yeah, you should watch all these sci fi movies because they they broaden your mind and sadly, Interstellar I've always felt really pushed the boundaries of science fiction just a little bit too far because the physics in it is a bit suss. But that's the astronomer in me speaking. But I think science fiction movies are well worth watching.
Go and see Interstellar, Ross, Professor will, I promise I will another question? Would it be worthwhile if you steer into this telescope and you see the vastness of the universe, discovering things we didn't know existed. Would it be worth getting world leaders to have a look in it, to show them the vastness of the universe and implore them stop fighting wars.
You know that really hits the nail on the head about the way we understand the universe, but that most people who think about the universe realize that we're one species. We're one you know, we're one world. We're a tiny blue dot.
We're all always got.
Looking into telescopes is one way of doing that, and of course you don't actually look into it. It's got this three two hundred megapixel camera that brings back the images. But it's the same thing has been suggested for putting people in power into space, because that is where you really see the fragility of our planet. You see this tiny, thin atmosphere from above, and everybody who goes into space comes back with a completely different worldview just because of that insight.
I've just got like it. I've just had the thought that at some stage on that journey, Professor, one of the participants will say, Hey, this is astronaut, doesn't know what the radactis doing. Professor, love her to chat with you. I love talking to the Professor Fred Watson. Look, I feel like I'm a grown adult posing this question, but it's on the screen, so I'm going to pose it. Can adult tummy time? Undo the dreaded technique that comes from hunting over a screen. Mayer and her mates do
a lot of tummy time. I said, are any of the male She said, not one. Dave Hall is an occupational physiotherapist. Lovely to speak with you, Dave. Do we face the fact that it's more difficult for men to do tummy time than women?
Yeah?
Possibly. I love how we've gone some big picture, you know, our existence in the universe. But that's great. Yeah, look, look absolutely, I certainly relate. I run exercise classes every Saturday morning, and all women literally so harder to get mails interested. But look, ultimately, if something engages someone to do something physically good for them, then great.
You know.
So if that oult tummy time is going to be that for someone, then.
Go for it.
You better tell us what it is.
You'll sort of like what babies do. When there's certain periods of time you want babies to lie on their tummy, they always cry and complain about it. As we know, probably adults internally would do the same thing. I would imagine. It's sort of not a regular sort of option that we usually advise for improving technique and posture. But yeah, if someone is up for that, then we go with the principle of whatever works.
So Dave, when you do tummy time, is it nose on the ground or do you put your face to the side.
Yeah, you could do variations. I mean, it's various the ogre posers that are sort of a variation on that, like the copper stretch and whatnot. But basically the main issue, which is definitely relevant, a lot of people are slumping over computers a lot using poor economics. In particular, what I'm noticing was is younger people working off laptops directly, and obviously that the screen being pretty low can really
draw us into that slump position. So I think really anything that helps us to get out of that position, to use the opposite muscles, use the opposite posture, is helpful. But it doesn't have to be tummy time. It's probably a little bit unorthodox. You know, you can do theraband stretches, you can do some standard yoga poses, stand up more, use laptop screens as it stands to interprop the laptops up.
So there's various other, probably simpler ways to improve. But yeah, adult tummy time, why not If that works for someone, I'm not sure they'd stick at it for long though, they might end up like a baby, ending up pretty upset within those to the ground after a while.
Thank you, Dave. Dave Pool, occupational physiotherapist. Looking at the photographs of babies on their tummies, I wonder whether that's a part of development, involving the baby strengthening it's neck muscles. Definitely. Branlough votes of songs with distances in them, so we got three two and one one vote.

Well, this is after last week when Russell cheated and got it. Write with a second pick, this will be a little bit more difficult.
Come on, geez, Hogan's hero, No, it's nearly well. Hagan's Hero's had a snare. It's not that I don't I told it's but that's one number three six nine three for two bottles at the border is beautiful, the buttery sharp. But what's doing what we last week?
We got the crime figures not unexpected, a rise of fifteen percent. You're talking about Hawthorne, an increase of thirty percent, and police are arresting in record numbers. The predictable response is, of course, it's the cops fault, it's the court's fault, but it's never our fault. We've got a face up to reality that we're soft as butter and that Dan's experient is dead because all we do is blame, blame, blame. By the time police put the handcuffs on, you've lost.
They're already offenders. So we need to look at it. In a Broadway, talking to a teacher said, it goes into the school and four hundred to five hundred kids are on their phones. Another teacher was talking about a little social media group amongst the kids, and you know, there's a bit of bickering. Then a dad gets on and said I'm going to bash you to one of the kids, and the kid responds and says, my uncle's are biking. He's come to school to stab you. So this is the sort of things we've got.
That's the modern version of keeping up with the Joneses.
So what we have done as adults is we've managed to produce a generation which is dumber, less, resilient, and sad. I want to just take him back for a moment, be indulted. When I was at school, I was brought up in a house and commissioner house. My mother died when I was quite young. I went to Prestonese High which only went to year eleven because no one was expected to do year twelve. But I told you what
we had aspirations. We had hope. We knew that if things went well and we tried, nothing could stop us. And out of that group of that little group became doctors, psychiatrists, nurses, real estate agents, owners of construction businesses, crime. We didn't know anything about private schools, so we were never jealous, and we got free tertiary education. What is missing now is aspirations. A cop got hold of one of these young offenders who happened to be of African descent and said,
you're actually a smart kid. You should be at school. And he said, yeah, my brother is a qualified civil engineer, but his qualification is not recognized. He he's driving a taxi. So the only way I can get ahead is by robbing people. So if she instead of tough laws, which we all want, go ahead with that, but have a summit and bring in and have everything on the table, because it's not a law and order issue, and it's
not just about offending. It's about what is happening to this generation with smartphones being possibly the most dangerous thing horrible that we have ever invented.
So I think Russell quotes someone is saying, we're going to look back and say, how did we treat our children so badly? Professor Scott galileiros.
Because child's cottage. Just say, you are allowing the enemy into your house. You've got CCTV, you've got gates, but the enemy is in the bedroom with your kids and these smart devices.
Do people know that there is technology whereby you can regulate your child's phone and turn just program them to be to turn off at certain times. I'll say at eight o'clock at night and turn back on at eight o'clock in the morning. That it's very simple technology.
Well don't you think that should be part of the seminar. And the person I'd be bringing out is Katherine McClusky, an absolute jet out of Scotland who is a youth worker and a forensic expert, and she's been working in this space neck. This is Scotland, this is Glasgow where there have been generations of gangs where the Glasgow smile
is a slash across your face. And one of the things they do, for example, is when a kids stabbed, when they get to hospital, there is a bloke who won't report it to the police, but he's an ex gang member and he'll go and talk and say, here's my scars, this is what happened, this is crap, here's my card. We've got a twenty four hour helpline, we'll get you a job, we'll teach you even how.
To eat properly. And you know what.
