6th May Full Show - Emotional Support Alligator

The host of Zoo FM Breakfast talks about the upcoming events at the Dubbo Show and shares some personal anecdotes. They also mention measures being put in place in Australia to make it harder for drug dealers and illegal firearms traffickers to purchase real estate. They discuss a funny name that was included in official court documents related to the trial of Donald Trump. They talk about a pizza delivery person in the US who hands out his resume along with pizzas and has received three interviews so far. They share some historical knowledge about Emperor Helian Bobo's punishments for lack of quality workmanship. They also talk about the Dubbo Show and give away double passes to listeners. It's breakfast! I do! Massive week ahead here on Zoo FM Breakfast this weekend, broadcasting live from the Dubbo Show on Friday and Saturday throughout the day. This morning, to start off the big brand new week, I got out of bed and had my knee give way multiple times just showing how old I've gotten. I am 23, so it's obviously not the case. No idea what's going on there, but it was mostly me yawning and then the occasional I almost fell over into a wall. So exciting times to start the Monday morning coming up in just a sec. The strangest name you've possibly ever heard of has been put into official court documents overseas and it's taken the internet by storm. We'll tell you in just a couple of minutes why. Jewel Leap at first, Houdini for your Monday morning. Ten minutes past six and you have Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. It's Keegan with you, good morning. Quarter past six, Zoo FM Breakfast for your Monday morning. It's Keegan with you. Top of 21 degrees today in Wellington. Currently seven and a half degrees. It can be partly cloudy. Just reading here that Australia is going to be putting in measures to make it easier for you to buy a house. Supposedly we've solved the housing crisis just over the weekend. You sit down, you have a few drinks, you solve the biggest problem in Australian history. Quite simple as that. Supposedly they're putting measures in place called the Tranche 2 measures that will make it harder for people that are drug dealers or illegal firearms traffickers to purchase real estate and properties. I wasn't aware that we were going up against firearm traffickers, illegal firearm traffickers and drug dealers every time you went to an auction. I mean they just look like every one of us. They just fit in with all people and little did you know that in the back they have a shipping container full of M4 rifles just sitting there as they drive it around to the different auctions throughout the day. Apparently it says here as well, Australia alongside countries like Madagascar are putting these measures in place. So I'm glad us and Madagascar are going hand in hand on the government stage to push out drug dealers and illegal firearms dealers which I'm sure should have been done a while ago. But that obviously means my plan for buying a house is obviously now ruined. Destiny's Child at Zoo FM Breakfast for your Monday morning. Top of 21 and narrow mind today. Currently 7.5, partly cloudy. Double passes to the Adobo show this weekend coming up later this morning. But I'm sure we've all heard of the current trial that Donald Trump is taking part of. It's over in the United States. I'm sure we've heard enough of it. I couldn't give a crap. Well that was until I saw an interesting name that was inserted into the official court records over the weekend. Out of all the things said in the court, all the accusations, all the witnesses, the names entered into the court documents, a gentleman by the name of Donald Von Schiesenpants has officially entered the room as of Friday into the official court documents. Mr Von Schiesenpants is supposedly only taking part in the proceedings as it's a caricature of one of the witnesses which was invented when slandering Trump. Things got even better when the court's official stenographer, the person who has to quickly type all the proceedings of the court case with some very strange keyboard, it looks like they're typing hieroglyphics. I really don't understand it. But the official stenographer was forced to enter the documented proceedings with the name Donald Von Schiesenpants. But because they type in shorthand, they actually ended up typing Donald Von Sugar Honey Ice Tea in pants, if you get what I'm saying. The whole case is just, it's being infected with defecation references in an official capacity. Although, I mean, I would vote for Donald Von Schiesenpants for president any day. Just, if you ask a couple of my old boys, Jason Derulo, we talk about the more important stuff at 25 past 6 in the morning. Zoo FM Breakfast, Keegan with you. Cheers to your company. Rihanna, 10 to 7, Zoo FM Breakfast, your home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. Top of 21 in Dunedin Zoo today, currently 12 degrees. In the age of, you know, a lack of available jobs, or unavailable prospective employees, it really depends on who you ask. People give you the complete opposite reaction. A bloke delivering pizzas in the US, he's developed a genius idea to attract prospective employers. Whenever he's arriving at a house or a business, I mean, if you're at work, you're still allowed to order a pizza. I'm not sure if you're aware of that. If you're at work today, you are allowed to order a pizza to the business, to the workplace, and have it walked in and delivered to you for your lunch break, as everyone else smells it. They get jealous, and then you're fired, moments later. Only if you don't share it, I'm sure. So, whenever he arrives at a house or a business delivering a pizza, he'll present the receiving customer with a copy of his resume and his CV, along with the pizza. The man has so far received three interviews, while only destroying the tactic for five days. That's pretty good odds, if I'm completely honest, although it does seem a bit forthcoming to suddenly start handing over paperwork when I just want to meet lovers. Maybe some cheesy crust on the side. The thing is, if he's dropping the resume to absolutely, he's just sort of carpet bombing the pizza delivery orders with resumes. If he's delivering it to absolutely anyone, I'm actually worried as to who his prospective employers may be. I mean, if he drops a resume with a pizza to a house run by, I don't know, a hydro-horticulturalist, he may end up in a role that's not exactly considered legitimate, may be the word for it. Maybe he's in the gardening. Maybe you want to do some sort of sideways gardening in a house with all blacked out windows and suspicious amount of lighting within it. Money is money, whatever. Can't judge. ZOOFM, Monday mornings. Ten past seven, ZOOFM breakfast, top of 21 degrees today in Wellington, currently eight and a half, going to be cloudy today. It's Keegan with you. Cheers for your company. Our conversations on this show, they aren't exactly known for being inundated with anything but absolute crap. That's probably hands down the only thing you can rely upon when we have a discussion in the morning. However, I've stumbled across one of the most useful pieces of historical knowledge I've ever heard of in my life. Back in the year of 475, Emperor Helian Bobo ruled over a portion of what is now known as modern day China. The thing that made Bobo stand out as a leader, however, was his cooked empirical rulings on punishment for lack of quality when it came to workmanship. Of course, there was a lot of wars back then, people making armies, going out and sort of sorting each other. I think sword fighting is known as something else these days, but we'll brush past that for now. The rules that he made when it came to quality workmanship, some of them that are interesting and slightly questionable, if an arrow could penetrate armour made in his kingdom, the blacksmith was killed. But if an arrow couldn't make its way through armour built in his kingdom, the arrow maker was killed. If he was building a castle, and a wedge could be driven through a wall of the castle, the engineer would be killed. And if a wedge couldn't be driven through the wall of a castle, the siege weapon engineer would be killed. So TLDR, everyone would be killed in some way or another by the end of it. Obviously, this was their idea of workplace health and safety laws back in 475. If there's no one left to work, everyone is safe from the hazards of the workplace. It's possibly the easiest risk assessment I've ever heard in my life. Doja Cat. Don't take any of that on board. None of that's advice to be used in 2024. It's ZOOFM Breakfast. Quarter past seven, ZOOFM Breakfast. It's Keegan with you this morning. Cheers for your company. Top of 21 in Narramine today. 8.5 currently. Going to be partly cloudy right across the region. The annual Dubbo show is on this weekend from Friday all the way through till Sunday. All things from, you know, the sideshow alley, the woodchop, the chooks are there. They're bocking around. Is that the noise they make? Bock, bock, bock, I guess. You obviously don't come and we don't have a chat in the morning to figure out what noise a chicken makes. I think we can all understand that. All of those on display as well as the ZOOFM fireworks on the Saturday night will be there live from the ground of the show on Friday and Saturday. So feel free, you can swing by and say hi. However, all week we've got these one-day double passes for you to snatch up. And it's pretty straightforward. It's as easy as calling 6884 8499. That's the phone number. 6884 8499. That's now. Wow, people are already ringing before I've even finished speaking. You are determined, aren't you? I applaud your determination. 6884 8499 for the best go-to event this weekend. There's nothing else on that could be more appropriate to take the family to. A double pass to the Dubbo show this weekend on us. Give us a ring right now. Zubrecki. Melissa, what are you up to this morning? This morning, just every day making lunches for the kids, getting them ready for school. What's for lunch today? They're having chicken and salad wraps. Wow, that's probably a better lunch than I'm having. So I applaud you for your efforts. Than I had at school too. This is how times have changed. See, they just get it too good these days. They do. They definitely do. If you were to head to the show this weekend, what would you be keen on seeing? One of the top things on your list. We love the Ferris wheel and the fireworks. 100%. I mean, I don't think there could have been a better pair of things to see actually. I want to say though, do you drive? Yes. Would you enter your car in the demolition derby? Oh, no. Okay. We did watch that last year. What was it like? I haven't actually seen it before. It sounds absolutely crazy. It is, and it's fun to watch. I mean, I didn't need much convincing to see it anyway, but I'm sure I will be now. The double pass is yours. Thanks for listening. Thank you so much. We'll be giving these away all the week on the show, but otherwise you can chuck Dubbo show one, two, three ticks into Google to grab tickets and just keep listening all week for another chance to grab a double pass. There is another chance this morning. I won't give you much more of a hint yet, but if you'd like to see what's also coming up on the show at the show this weekend, you can jump on their Facebook page or the website dubboshow.org. Hard and heavy at a quarter to eight for zero frame breakfast here on Monday morning. There's Nirvana. It's over 21 degrees today in Wellington, currently 10. Quick mention to the guys and girls at Tyre Power here in Dubbo. Walked past the shop late Friday afternoon and heard the station on. Much appreciated for the support, guys, for having us on. Pop musical artist SZA. This is, it's already stumped me. It's spelled S-Z-A. So I think it's pronounced SZA, possibly. Anyway, they're currently touring Australia is the point I'm trying to make. Never heard of the artist before, but her fans are absolutely wild. They are something else. Towards the end of last week, the stories coming out of her Sydney and Melbourne shows, they are something else. They're the unheard of behavior. At one point, she almost had to call off an entire show as the fans closest to the stage were throwing mobile phones, pens and shoes at her, at her, onto the stage, launching them like missiles. Supposedly it was out of love. I don't think that's called being, I don't think that's called an action out of love, especially if it involves throwing a pen. She stopped the music and actually threatened to leave, which makes sense. I don't even know why she continued. Things escalated, however, with a fan spotted doing a handstand while drunk on a raised seating area before falling onto five people in front of them upside down, just completely toppling over, leaning Tower of Pisa, except it actually fell over. Someone even decided to overindulge themselves in, you know, the alcoholic beverages available and they vomited all over a row of attendees in front of them. Think of it like a digested garden sprinkler. Horrific. Everything came to a brilliant finish. Of course, yeah, that wasn't where it ended. Everything came to a brilliant finish when the singer, SZA, realized if she stayed on stage, even for a single minute past 11pm, she'd be given a fine of $250,000 for noise restrictions. So at 10.59.50, she just said the single word of goodbye, mid-song, and then ran off into the darkness, disappeared. And that was the end of the show. No encore, no grand conclusion, just goodbye, disappeared. It genuinely, the whole thing sounds like a bunch of uni students on a poorly organized gap year, trying to convene a karaoke night in a building where the tap water is just straight ethanol.

In Trangie today, currently 11.5 degrees, Lando Norris of McLaren has just won his first ever F1 race. He actually held the record for the driver with the most podiums without a win. And due to a safety car allowing him to change his tyres, he somehow beat Max Verstappen. I really did expect the news just to be what we hear every single weekend. Max Verstappen wins again. Why do they bother to keep racing? Was probably something that should have followed it. Dr. Diana Fusco from Flinders University joins us this morning. Cheers for coming on for a chat. Thanks for having me. I understand you're involved in the portion of Flinders University who are actually responsible for conducting paleo digs in Wellington. Is that right? Yes. I'm part of the paleontology research group at Flinders. We've been involved with the Wellington Caves now for quite a few years. I think we've been coming up since about 2016. What is the background on these digs that you conduct? I wasn't even aware they took place in Wellington Caves until recently and I'm not even sure what's involved in them. They sound quite interesting. Wellington Caves are really quite significant. Obviously, people have been on country for millennia. The caves were known to the Wiradjuri people but it was also where fossils were first encountered by early European scientists. You could really say that it is the birthplace of paleontology in Australia. It's got a really, really rich fossil history. A lot of people don't even realize that you've got this really significant paleontological site just sitting back out there at Wellington. A hundred percent. What's some of the things that have actually been found in the digs there? We pull out a lot of different animals. The fauna there was quite diverse. We've got birds, we've got reptiles, we've got a lot of mammals but some of the more recent finds have been things like fossils of Thylacaleo, the marsupial lion. I also saw there was something about a lizard that was possibly the length of an arm. Yes, the megachonk. It's got quite a fascinating name too. Yes, it's quite a chonky beast. It's a large shingleback lizard so it's quite similar looking to what you'd see around the area today except of course a lot bigger and it had spiky armor as well. We actually find a whole lot of these, we call them osteoderms. They're these armored plates that were in the skin. What is actually, say when you're down in the caves themselves, what's the process behind identifying an area that's appropriate for a survey or a dig? You can also look at the cave morphology. In the cave that we're working at the moment, Cathedral Cave, you've got that giant stalagmite, the altar. The altar is formed where water is coming down from the surface. We knew there was probably an entrance in the cave roof there. Whenever you've got an entrance like that, it makes a really good pitfall track for animals. That's another reason why we targeted that particular spot. You'd obviously have to be very careful with some of the objects you find. What are some of the tools that you employ when extracting the fossils from the ground? The sediments there, it's not like you sometimes see on TV where you see paleontologists brushing away the dirt with brushes. This is a little bit harder because it's quite heavy, very damp clay a lot of the time. We're using trowels mostly. When we need to get really delicate, then we'll go down to as fine as a dental pick. That'll be for just moving the dirt from immediately around the fossil. Just before I let you go, how did you personally get involved in paleontology? I came in through uni looking at the conservation avenue. I found that if I was working with fossils, then I wasn't actually impacting live animals. It was a very low impact way of looking at modern conservation problems, I guess. Well, cheers for coming on for a chat, Diana. Obviously some fascinating stuff happening down there in the Wellington Caves. Thank you very much. You're on Zoo's Breakfast. It's breakfast. On 927 Zoo. And the phones are already ringing. I'm pretty sure. Hello, Zoo FM. Have you guys done the show tickets yet today? We have already given away one double pass this morning, but I do have a feeling there's another one coming up shortly. All right. I'll keep listening. Brilliant. Thanks so much. Cheers. See ya. Bye. And we've also got Dubbo State MP and leader of the New South Wales Nationals, Dougal Saunders, on in just a couple of minutes. Vance Joy First Rocket. It's your home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now for your Monday morning. Keegan with you. Cheers for your company. Vance Joy. Almost quarter past eight. Zoo FM Breakfast for your Monday morning. Top of 21 degrees today in Narrowmine. Currently 12. Going to be partly cloudy. Dubbo State MP and leader of the New South Wales Nationals, Dougal Saunders, joins us. Good morning, mate. Keegan, good to talk to you. I'm understanding that it's a sitting week, so it must be quite busy with the week ahead for you. Yeah, look, it is a sitting week. First week back for, I think it's been four weeks since we had our last sitting week, and that finished with a full overnight in Parliament, which was, yeah, a bit unfortunate. But look, we're back in this week. I've just arrived in Sydney. Big week in Parliament. And look, the focus, as you wouldn't be surprised about, is on family and domestic violence. There's a lot happening in this space. And as of yesterday, I joined the leader of the opposition, Mark Speaksman. Mark Speaksman and my deputy leader, Bronnie Taylor, our Shadow Attorney General, Alastair Hemskins, and also Natalie Ward, to talk about the introduction of legislation to try and help protect the community better. So we've outlined a few things that we think are really important, including expanding the use of electronic monitoring devices for people on bail on serious domestic violence charges, expanding the ground for stopping the release of alleged offenders pending review, and also removing power for registrars to actually determine bail for serious personal violence charges. We think it should be magistrates only. So we've outlined that yesterday. We're in contact with Crossbench and also the government to see if we can suspend standing orders tomorrow to actually bring on a bill quite quickly. Now, I'm not sure that we will get the support. But the point is, we recognise that we need to do something fairly quickly. And we're hoping that we can work collaboratively with all sections of MPs from all areas to get something through fairly quickly. That's brilliant, mate. And as we're aware, there's a lot of discussion about it going on at the moment. But it's definitely time for something to change as well. Things need to be done. Exactly. And look, we know, and this was on Insiders yesterday on TV, that New South Wales has received significant funding from the federal government to actually help roll out some family specialist domestic and family violence workings. Unfortunately, there have only been five people employed in those roles out of the 148 that have been funded in the past 12 months. So we need action now. We need people employed in the sector quickly. The support is there financially from the federal government. We know there'll be an announcement from the Premier around Jack's Law, which I think may have already even happened this morning about allowing police to use those wands to detect metal detection. And that's around the knife crimes that have been going on. So there's a lot happening in this space at the moment. We want to make sure that the government does everything it can to make sure our communities are safe. Excellent to hear, mate. And something else that's going on a lot around the area, it's supposedly that time of year of all the shows, the town shows. I think Wellington recently had their town show. Sure did, on the weekend. Another great show for Wellington, 148th show. And we have a new Wellington young woman, Adelaide Wright, whose sister Amelia was the young woman a couple of years ago for Wellington. So she was sashed by a state finalist from Wellington who narrowly missed out at the Royal Easter show only a couple of months ago now, but did extremely well. So Eliza Whiteley was there to sash the new Wellington young woman, along with Paris Capel, who was the runner up from Orange. And we've also got three entrants to the Dubbo show as young women entrants as well. So Tim, Sophie and Ali, ZOOFM young woman finalists. And the winner will be announced, of course, at the opening of the Dubbo show next Saturday. And it's going to be a fantastic weekend ahead. Well, cheers for coming on for a chat this morning, mate. It's good to catch up. Good on you, Keegan. Talk to you soon. You're on ZOO's Breakfast. Savage Garden, haven't heard them in ages. 25 past 8, ZOOFM Breakfast, top of 21 degrees today in Dunedin Zoo. Currently 14 and a half degrees. The intersection, Macquarie Street, LH Ford Bridge starting to get busy this morning. Someone in the local community has called upon the Dubbo police to resume bike patrols at the Dubbo skate park after they were taking their child to the skate park over the weekend. And they observed an unsupervised child approximately between the ages of 11 to 8 years old. And they were running up the bowl of the actual skate park itself, which I presume is sort of the lip of what you actually skate in. You can tell I've never used a skateboard in my life. But they were running up the lip, and it appears, according to this person, that a 5 centimeter or so long knife has dropped out of the pants of the 8 or 11-year-old child. Between 8 and 11 years old, and they've got a knife on them at the local skate park. Supposedly, the person who's put this up has said that to the child's credit, they gave the knife up without resistance. And supposedly, the child actually managed to explain why he was carrying the knife. Look, I'm not sure if there actually is a reasonable explanation as to why a child between the ages of 8 and 11 years old needs to carry a knife. I know we're hearing that the world's going mad recently, and people are, you know, slightly fearful. But still, I don't think there's a reason for him to be carrying a knife. Incredible stuff. I can't even believe that I'm reading that that happened. So they're saying that you should exercise caution if you're letting your children go to the Dubbo skate park without supervision. Although this was a crisis averted. Don't you? What it is. Strange the way the world's going these days. So I'm at Dubbo's Best Music from the 80s. So now, it's Keegan with you. Cheers for your company this morning. Kings of Leon, 20 minutes to 9. Zoo FM Breakfast for your Monday morning. Top of 21 degrees today in Gilgandra. Currently 13, going to be partly cloudy. Cobra Street, Fitzroy Street, the intersection outside inland, getting busy this morning. You may have heard the worldwide tragedy, taking the internet by storm that we spoke about last week. The disappearance of the emotional support alligator Wally. It's left everyone asking, where's Wally? Unsurprisingly. And there's been a new twist to the story. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered mentioning it. Turns out, they didn't actually explain how, how the boat managed to get his pet alligator onto a plane. I don't think that's still been explained. However, a theory has been explained as to why it actually disappeared. Wally, who was, he had an estimated bite of 3 tonnes per square inch, as an alligator. Terrifying. He was allegedly kidnapped by pranksters, before being released into a swamp. The pranksters nicked Wally, the alligator, while he was on holiday with his owner, before dropping the alligator, Wally, himself over someone's backyard fence, in an effort to scare them. The homeowner, obviously terrified, called animal control. They collected Wally, and then placed him with 20 other alligators into a swamp. They described it as a remote location. So now, technically, Wally has really gone on a holiday. He's gone on a holiday with all his other alligator friends, and nobody knows where he is. I have no idea, personally, how an alligator can be used as an emotional support animal. Neither how you possibly put an alligator on a plane, as checked luggage, or how an alligator experiences a holiday. Don't know how you answer any of those three things. None of them have been answered in this. But when it comes to the so-called pranksters, that have given us the outcome as to what actually happened to Wally, 20 years hard labour only seems appropriate. Can you crack strangers? Your chance to score a Dubbo show double pass. Coming up next, Zoo FM, Monday morning. Keegan with you. Cheers for your company. Quarter to nine, Zoo FM breakfast.

What's the most interesting thing you reckon you could check out at the show this weekend? Bath. The bath. I completely agree, don't worry. It's going to be one of the main attractions. It's probably one of the more popular visitors. I need to ask, when it comes to the poultry pavilion, earlier in the show, this morning, I was discussing the noise that a chicken makes. I need someone to clarify it for me. Is it a bock bock or a chock chock? What noise does a chicken make? A bock bock. Good. See, we're on the same page. It's just one of those things that, once it's stuck in your mind, you say, who would you be taking to the show with you this weekend? My daughter. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Well, the double pass is yours. Thank you so much. And if you missed out this morning, we'll be giving away these double passes all week just by listening to Zoo FM Breakfast.

The panic at the disco, almost 9 o'clock, the end of Zoo FM Breakfast via Monday morning. Sorry, the chicken thing. I mean, I tried doing what any normal person would do and Googling the answer, and everyone seems to be divided between the two sounds. Julie had to be my saving grace this morning, so I wouldn't think about it for the rest of the day. The most pointless question I've ever asked in my life. Stop at 21 in Dubbo today, 21 also in Cobar. Your 80s hour at work is next, and your full weather following the local and national news. Zoobricky!
