18th April Full Show - Gangnam Style Dog

A man in Dubbo mistook a group of people going for a morning jog for a gang charging towards him, causing him to panic. Later, the radio host asks listeners what tricks they have taught their pets and shares a bizarre story about a man cutting off his brother's ear after his death. Scientists have also taught birds to use FaceTime and Facebook Messenger to call each other. Listeners call in to share the tricks they have taught their pets for a chance to win tickets to a music festival. The radio host also talks about the strange phenomenon of people needing to use the restroom when entering certain stores and announces a chance for listeners to win an annual pass to the local zoo. It's breakfast on 9273. There's a few characters out this morning around the streets of Dubbo wandering around and I thought, I was slightly worried, until I saw this pack of about eight people charging up the road towards me. Eight of them. And I thought, that's it, the Eshays, they've organised. They're doing a cavalry charge, shall I just get my wallet out now? Save them some time. It turns out it was the people going for a morning jog. So I'm now traumatised from that event and they've enjoyed their exercise. Coming up later this morning, another chance for you to grab that Taronga annual pass. 365 days of access to the zoo at discounts in their shops and also the accommodation. Coming up later, before 7 o'clock, I'm going to ask you, what have you taught your pet? Strange things people teach to some of their pets, other than pretty normal things to teach to your pet. I've never trained an animal in my life and I want to know, what have you taught your pet to do? Whether it's from the unusual to the straight out basic sit dog. Let me know. I'll ask you later this morning. First, Katy Perry, teenage dream. It's Zoo FM, Thursday morning, good morning to you. Troy Solders, 25 past six. It's Keegan with you for your Thursday morning here on Zoo FM Breakfast. Top of 24 degrees today in Narrowmine. Ten and a half currently. Possible rain later this morning. I'm going to tell one of the most bizarre stories I've ever heard of last night. And it involves the fact that a man has decided to cut a bit of his brother's ear off. Yep, yep, right. The zinger of it being, his brother was no longer with us when he decided to cut the bit of the ear off. I'll choose to not mention his name, but he's been charged with interfering with a corpse in Sydney and decided to check if his nephew was legitimate via cutting the ear off his brother for a DNA test. What in the world is this? This was after his brother's death from a lung condition and he swiped the ear clipping during the following funeral. Just popped open the casket. It's not a buffet. You don't take samples. When asked by Channel 9 of what he did with the part of his brother's ear that he cut off, he's quoted here as saying, plastic bag and put in small glass and put in fridge to keep it. What? I've got frozen vegetables in my freezer and this bloke has an ear. I mean, I'm pretty sure a strand of hair works for a DNA test. There's no need to go off and go on the bloke. Kid Leroy, 2FM Breakfast. You're home with Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now as well as your number one source of ear stories. Keep them with you. Selena Gomez, quarter to seven at 2FM Breakfast. Keep them with you. It's your Thursday morning. Top of 24 degrees today in Wellington. Currently 11. Chance of rain and thunderstorms later this morning. That's surprising, I said that yesterday and nothing happened. Almost all of us, we've discovered the internet by now obviously and we've seen some of the wild things animals are up to, especially if they're taught their tricks by humans, which is why I want to ask you in just literally a second, 68848499, what trick have you taught your pet? Up for grabs is a double pass to the Stock Group Music Festival. It's the festival coming to Dubbo this weekend with massive names set to perform. It's for the most unusual trick. I'll chuck you the double pass. 68848499. That's 68848499. What trick have you taught your pet? Scientists have decided it'd be a brilliant idea for some reason to teach household birds how to operate FaceTime, Facebook and Zoom. They studied the birds over a year in order to view the birds' behaviour when presented with a social life. I didn't know birds had that concept. Turns out the birds took it a step further and ended up learning how to call each other on Facebook Messenger without any human assistance. Certain birds apparently are still calling each other four months after the study concluded, dancing and squawking at the phones to each other. One even apparently, I've read here, one even learnt to fly via another bird virtually on a video call. They taught each other over the internet. I mean, dear God, when are we going to have to teach them about what not to do on Snapchat? I mean, that feels like we're a couple of steps away from that. So 68848499, 68848499, what trick have you taught your pet for a double pass to the Stockroot Music Festival? You're on Zoom Breakfast. Five minutes to seven. Zoom FM Breakfast, it's Keegan with you for your Thursday morning. Top of 24 in Gilgandra today, currently 11 possible rain and thunderstorms later this morning. I asked you on 68848499, what trick have you taught your pet after it was revealed that scientists taught a bunch of birds inside someone's house to use FaceTime and Facebook Messenger to call each other? Let's go to the phone. You're on Zoom Breakfast. What have you taught your pet? My little dog can do the Gangnam Style dance. Excuse me, how can it possibly do that? And I have the video footage to prove it. Oh, my God. Can you send it through to one of the Zoom FM social media accounts? That would be brilliant when you get it. Most definitely I can. I'm actually doing it with her. How did you even go about teaching them to do... I don't even understand. How did you do that? Well, I mean, I don't know if I'm going to get called a cheater or anything, but she kind of taught herself and then taught me, so I just claimed victory and told everyone I taught her how to do it. Right. I don't understand. Where did the inspiration come from? How does it teach itself? Well, she sort of just does it when she jumps and her little paws cross over and she jumps around and it just looks like she's doing Gangnam Style, so I put the song on when she jumps and it goes hand in hand. That is absolutely brilliant. That is a few steps up from teaching any sort of animal to just sit, I've got to safely say. Anna, thank you so much for that. I wasn't even aware that was possible, so I've learned something new this morning, and the double pass to the Stock Root Festival is yours. Oh, amazing. Thank you so much. No worries. Out of all the people playing this weekend there, what would you be most excited to see? I'm just excited to be able to actually go to something fun for a change. 100%. And if you missed out this morning, we'll still be giving away these double passes all week, but if you'd like to grab them yourself, you can head to the Stock Root Music Festival website. It's on this Saturday. www.thestockroot.com.au Dan Davidson, Travis Collins, Ashley Dallas, The Bushwackers, a heap of names playing this weekend here in Dubbo. 20 past 7, 2am breakfast for your Thursday morning. Top of 24 degrees today in Trangie, currently 12 and a half. Chance of rain and thunderstorms later this morning. However, I did say that yesterday, and nothing ended up happening whatsoever. If you've ever heard of the horrific stories of people, the technical term being dropping a log in an aisle of any of the popular retail store chains, it happens. I don't know why. I know people that have worked in retail. They've all said that it's happened at some point. It's more common than you think, unfortunately, according to a study that's been conducted. I have no idea what the study is called, as I presume it isn't titled Why People Poop Randomly in a Target. That's not entirely a scientific matter or a title you'd put on it. But it's actually investigated the brain's response to walking into certain stores in a shopping centre. Dr Joseph Salhab, who conducted the study, admitted that he had never heard of this supposed retail store activity until his followers informed him that when they visited a bookstore, they would immediately need to use the restroom. That's not my normal response when walking into a bookstore. But anyway, each to their own. Maybe JK Rowling obviously gets the bowels moving. Don't know if that's actually the case. I don't think that's even what this study said. But Dr Joseph, he states that after performing a study on this reaction, the reason why you may hear about people doing a number two randomly in the aisle of a store is apparently because you feel more relaxed at your favourite shop. You feel more relaxed. So in the end, when it all comes down to it, it seems it's not actually a crime against humanity that certain people are committing when they do a number two in a random aisle of a store for some reason, rather than the bathroom. They're actually just showing their love for the retailer. Zoo Brekkie. Brian Adams, Zoo FM Breakfast. 20 to 8 for your Thursday morning chance of rain and a thunderstorm later this morning apparently. Top of 24 in Narramine today. Currently 13. An annual pass to the Dubbo-Taronga Western Plains Zoo. This is your chance. This is your chance this morning. It's something else. We tried it yesterday. Vocal Olympics. What's the fact that we're going to do it again this morning? The Vocal Olympics. You've got to correctly present an example of the sound of an animal that I point out. There'll be three of them, three animals. You've got to correctly present an example of what that animal sounds like with no demonstration beforehand of what that animal sounds like. So you've got to remember it's a test of memory, it's a test of audio knowledge, and it's no easy feat. 6884 8499. 6884 8499. It's practically a demonstration of your inner David Attenborough. And score yourself an annual pass to the Dubbo-Taronga Western Plains Zoo for two adults, two kids, free entry, 365 days a year. Discounts at zoo shops and discounts at zoo events. 6884 8499. 6884 8499. Come play an edition of the Vocal Olympics. Check out Zoo FM on Facebook for more. Don't cheat. Send an 8 Zoo FM breakfast to home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. Top of 24 degrees today in Narromine, currently 13, possible rain and thunderstorms on the horizon later this morning. It's time to do something that I'm sure when we give away this annual pass next time, we're probably just going to put this segment to rest for a bit. I love how enthusiastic people are to dive in and participate. But it's possibly the best example of champagne radio I've ever seen in my life. You're on Zoo's breakfast. Glenn, are you ready to play what we're calling the Vocal Olympics? Ellen gave it a crank yesterday and she was a champion. Are you ready for your turn this morning? No, definitely not. Did anyone? That's probably the same answer that I'd give to them, if I'm completely honest. Three different animals. You've got to correctly identify what noise they make and the annual pass to Taronga West Divine Zoo is yours. 365 days of access. Are we ready to get started? Go on. I completely understand your response, don't worry. Number one. What sound does an Australian eastern barn owl make? Owl. 100%. I couldn't imagine a more accurate sound of an owl. I don't know what an Australian eastern barn owl is, but I know what an owl is. Number two. What sound does an elephant make? Elephant. Yep, that's close enough. I'll give you that one. Last but not least, for the year-long family pass to the zoo. What sound does a koi fish make? Koi fish. Brilliant. Brilliant, mate. 100%. It's yours. Thanks for playing. You're a champion. Good on you, mate. Thank you very much. We're giving these away all week, but if you miss out, you can enter www.taronga.org.au and head over to the Dubbo section to book tickets or even check out the brand new Pride Lands Patrol Tour. It's just the perfect activity for the school holidays. Pretty sure when we give these away tomorrow, I'm not going to be doing the vocal Olympics. You're all absolutely champions. Ellen was a champion yesterday. Glenn's just absolutely brilliant this morning, but I don't think it translates well over a phone. Dubbo's Best Music Zoo FM. Katy Ferry, quarter past eight. Zoo FM breakfast for your Thursday morning. Bit of rain around Dubbo this morning. May continue later into the morning. Four degrees today in Gillgand. We're currently 14. Chances of rain continuing there as well throughout the morning and possibly into early this afternoon. Now, we're brought to you by McDonald's in Dubbo and Wellington. You can win free McCafe coffee for an entire year on the My Maccas app. You can see the website for the full TNCs. And we've all got, as well, that one thing in the house or actually on our person, whether that be an old phone, a computer, an old car, or any other random object that is well past its use by date. Well past it. And the signs of its age constantly screaming out at you, but you just refuse. You just refuse to replace it. That's why I want to ask 6884 8499. That's 6884 8499. What is something outdated that you really do? You just can't give up. You refuse. You outright refuse to do it. I'll throw in a family pass. Two adults, two kids to the Gillgandra show this weekend. It's pretty much the ideal family outing for the school holidays with something for literally everyone. And I'll give it for one of the best examples of something that you just can't give up. 6884 8499. A bloke was walking around in a park late at night over in the UK and he had a wake-up call after he was approached by a hooded individual, gloves and balaclava on, who wanted to rob him of his possessions. The thing being, which is why I've got a smirk on my face, the thief proceeded to actually give him his phone back to him followed by a lecture on how outdated it was and why he desperately needs to upgrade. The thief gave it back. It was a 2002 flip phone in 2024. Still going strong. Still going strong. Still worked. The thief was so taken back that he ended up returning all the man's items, all of them, including the phone and he just walked away after delivering a lecture on how outdated the bloke's phone was. Just the mere sight of a flip phone made the bloke have a connection. So I need to ask, 6884 8499 what is something outdated that you just can't give up? If you buzz in your school you'll solve a family pass, two adults, two kids to the Gilgandra show this weekend. It's just the ideal family outing for the school holidays. 6884 8499 You're on Zoo's Breakfast. 20 to 9, Zoo FM Breakfast, your home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. Top of 24 in Wellington today. Currently 14 possible rain continuing this morning. If you're driving the kids to school right now and you are absolutely dreading the chaos that is yet to follow while pulling up at the school I've just stumbled across in the last couple of hours a report that is going to make it feel all better. It's going to be like a walk in a park in comparison. The Wall Street Journal has released what is essentially a dossier on some of the worst and most puzzling incidents to occur during school drop-off as some of these stories are just wild. It's something out of fiction. None of it seems real. In one case parents had to be reminded by school officials. Reminded is the word here. Instructed probably the actual truth. Not to throw their children out of the car at speed. At speed is the key word there. As a certain number of parents genuinely weren't stopping the car before thoroughly encouraging the children to exit the vehicle. Thoroughly encouraging is the word it used. I'm pretty sure it was a bit more than that. They weren't even stopping the car. In another case here a lady decided to pull in front of someone else at the drop-off point in front of the school as this person they pulled in front of left significant room in front of them. The person she's just pulled in front of pulls a bright purple handgun with Nerf branding on the side of it out of her purse and waves it around frantically. It's a school drop-off. Why are you pulling out a handgun? I don't know if it was real. It had a Nerf sticker on it. You know it's Nerf or nothing. I think it's the term behind it. And another case of school drop-off going absolutely bonkers after being beeped at for not moving along the drop-off line quick enough in front of the school. A car receiving the beep goes around the block and then decides to disintegrate an eggplant on the window of the car responsible for beeping them. Pulls back around, just pegs an eggplant straight at the side window of the car. An eggplant? Yes, I too casually carry around an eggplant in a glove box. You're on Zoo's Breakfast.
