It's breakfast on Zoom. F1 over the weekend down in Melbourne. Lots of things to talk about. We'll speak to you about that in about an hour's time. Not so much the race outcome, even though, wow, it was different to normal. It took someone's brakes exploding for the race outcome to change. In about half an hour, telling you about the strangest animal being used in a plot about the strangest crime on the planet. None of it makes any sense. And the fact that the animal's even involved makes even less sense than that to begin with. Dean Lewis, falling up for your Monday morning here on ZOOFM, your home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. It's Keegan with you for a brand new week. Short one, too. Crowded house, three minutes past seven. ZOOFM breakfast for your Monday morning. Top of 28 degrees in Narramine today. Going to be lovely weather. 12.5 currently. You can always give us a ring. 6884 849. That's 6884 849. Coming up in just a couple of minutes time. The strangest animal has been used in absolutely the strangest crime possible. But first, do you remember back in the heyday of COVID, there was hotel quarantine. If someone wanted to come into the country, they had to go to a hotel quarantine, supposedly paid for by themselves. It's been revealed that New South Wales, the actual state government themselves, is still owed $26 million in hotel quarantine bills. That's out of, OK, so that's a lot of money. That's a very large amount of money. But if you put it in the perspective of everything that's been repaid in hotel quarantine over the length of COVID and when it was implemented, New South Wales, the government billed people $326 million for hotel quarantine. $300 million has been repaid. That is a decent effort. I think we can just waive the 26 million that's left. Your home zoo's breaking. Tyler Warner on your home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. 2FM Breakfast, number 29 in Gilganders today, currently 12.5 degrees. Beautiful weather ahead, especially looking great for the Easter long weekend. It can change, don't take a word for it. It is the weather report, however. It's practically just a recommendation. I'm not sure whether you'd remember about a week ago or so. We were having a chat about the Willy Wonka experience over in Glasgow and how it was just an absolute disaster. The organiser of the event that went viral for how terrible it was, has finally broken his silence. It was the event really where people turned up to find out that all the promotional images had been generated by AI. And the actual building was practically just a concrete bunker. And there was a random oompa loompa who looked miserable standing in front of a meth laboratory in the corner. But that was the only photos and that was probably the only attractions that were there. Everything else was just budget, bottom line, terrible stuff. And it was so bad that patrons of the event even called the police and demanded the money back. You know you've really messed it up. The organiser, Billy Cool, he spoke to Channel 5 over in the UK saying that his life has essentially been ruined following the event. The international viral infamy that followed really nailed it in, recounting that random people on the street would walk up to him shouting the nickname of Willy Wonka at any time of the day. The one thing I don't get, personally, however, is that he says he's received numerous death threats over the event. I mean, when you think about it, who the hell is sending serious death threats over what was essentially just a disappointing event? It was based on a Willy Wonka chocolate movie. I don't think it would go as far as sending a death threat. Some people on the internet are obviously just horrific. But it would be like me sending death threats to a cookware manufacturer when my whisk doesn't mix the eggs. What a terrible comparison. Paul Russell, Lil Boofang, see you Monday morning. Brand new week here on ZOO FM. It's breakfast on Better Music 92.7 ZOO. NRL over the weekend. The footy was good. The games were actually really good. They were really close. It was good football. Nobody made some terrible mistakes. The Tigers and the Cronulla Sharks game, I'll pretend that never happened because it feels like they didn't get off the bus. It feels like the Sharks actually weren't there at the field. If it was just the Tigers playing on one side of the field, it would have had the same outcome. However, all my bets got absolutely destroyed. But great football. Coming up in just a couple of minutes. The strangest animal has been used in a plot for possibly the strangest crime you've ever heard. It is just absolutely bizarre what has been plotted here. And the animal that's used for it isn't one that normally gets used in a crime. I don't think it'll be the first one that comes to mind. Morgan Wallen, ZOO FM Breakfast. Gangster's paradise, 20 minutes to 7, ZOO FM Breakfast for your Monday morning. Short week this week, only four days. Unless you work public holidays. Then you're stuffed. Then you're stuffed. I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. Top of 29 degrees today in Wellington. 10.5 currently, going to be sunny all week right up to the long weekend. You can always get in touch with us on social media, Facebook, ZOO FM at 927ZOO on Instagram. Now, it is one of the most bizarre things I've heard in years. Hands down. Two men in the US have been arrested after it was revealed they had a plot to unleash a python on a woman's daughter before blowing up their entire house. That is just a sentence and a half. One of the men reportedly met the planned victim on a dating app before the, of course, the relationship went south and the lady blocked the man that's the accused. This led to the man hiring his mate into the plot. Obviously, from his eyes seeing, his eyes saw that unleashing a python followed by blowing up an entire house is obviously adequate revenge. And they both agreed to follow through. Thankfully, they were stopped prior. Unleashing a python to eat somebody in a house and then blowing up the entire property. What a sentence. I have never even heard those words put together. I'm curious. For the entire situation, would they strap the bomb to the python or carry it themselves? You're on ZOO's Breakfast. See ya. 10 minutes to 7. ZOO FM Breakfast here Monday morning. A four day work week. That's the reason I'm smiling, probably. Top of 29 today. Now I'm on 10.5 currently. Gonna be sunny all day. Absolutely lovely weather ahead. There's a bloke in Queensland that I'm not sure if you've seen these weeds before. This is new news to me. The asparagus, asparagus fern has nothing to do with the vegetable. Is asparagus a vegetable? Anyway, that's not a cooking lesson this morning. Asparagus fern, it's those sort of little spiky green things with the tiny red balls all over them. They're just like really small tomatoes. I remember as a kid going to try and eat one of them. And I'm glad, you know, one of my parents stopped me. Otherwise, terrible things would have happened. Shortly after this. But he's supposedly on a crusade to annihilate the asparagus fern. And what a life commitment for that is. He's ended up creating a tool that's called the asparagus assassin. And to be honest, it does sound like a villain out of a child movie. A children's movie. Sort of animated one, probably. Asparagus is sort of a hit man. But anyway, it's been sort of requisitioned through the use of a power drill, a piece of plumbing pipe. And you sort of just sharpen the end of the pipe and it spins around and absolutely annihilates the asparagus fern. And the asparagus fern, for some strange reason, is classed as a weed of national significance. It makes it sound like it's protected. I don't know what the wording is for that. But he's on a crusade to absolutely obliterate all things known as an asparagus fern with this incredibly strangely named tool. If I ever become a supervillain, like sort of an alter ego to Batman, I really do want my name to be called the asparagus assassin. Because I just hate vegetables. Panic at the Disco, the greatest show. Coming up in just a couple of minutes time, I'm going to tell you about the reason why Williams, Williams and F1, have been performing terribly. And the reason why it can apply to any workplace at all. 100%. It's just unsurprising. Versus, you know, it is surprising why people rely on this method still. But it's the reason why their car doesn't go fast. I'm no mechanic, but I can tell you it is the reason. Troye Sivan playing now. Rachel Platten in a sec. Zoo FM Breakfast. Fight song, quarter past seven, Zoo FM Breakfast. Okay, pronunciation's gone. We're only almost halfway into this show. It's only 29 degrees today. And well, it did go only 11 degrees. The terrible track record of F1 team Williams may finally be able to be explained. I mean, they did terribly over the weekend. It came to light that the team principal is absolutely horrified for one particular reason, which may explain their poor performance. The team's inventory of 20,000 car parts, not 2,000, 20,000 car and upgrade parts, which is really responsible for the car's future development, it's all stored on a single Microsoft Excel document. One document, an old, outdated version of Microsoft Excel. The Williams team principal was quoted as saying that the Excel spreadsheet was impossible to navigate and impossible to update. I'd have to agree. Whenever I open any document in general that's from that suite, it doesn't go well. I may just be incapable of operating it, however. Supposedly, the Excel document situation was responsible for a non-important car part being ordered over 23 times accidentally, one they didn't even need. But oh, we'll just receive it 23 times in the post. So they piled them all up in the corner of a warehouse and just left them there forever. Another thing that is quite interesting about Williams, especially over the weekend, it was revealed that it was Alexander Albon's birthday and the situation with him crashing his own car and then being given Logan Sargent's car, which I don't think has ever happened before. I genuinely don't. The commentators for the F1 broadcast, they seriously did not hold back in the brutality of talking about the situation. Happy birthday to Alexander Albon and his present, Logan Sargent's car. It's pretty straightforward. Zoo-brecky. All the notes, 20 minutes past 7, Zoo FM Breakfast, coming with Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. It's Keegan with you. You can always give us a ring at 688-484-9999. That's 688-484-9999. Top of 29 degrees today in the Gill Gans. We're currently 11 degrees. Going to be absolutely lovely weather all day and into the rest of the week. A bank in Ethiopia is asking customers to return up to $40 million after their ATM suffered a glitch that allowed absolutely anybody to withdraw as much money as they wanted. Just go up to the ATM, press a few buttons. Oh, I've got cash and it didn't cost me a cent. Supposedly, much of the $40 million was withdrawn by students with one student withdrawing over $170,000. $170,000, that's a decent effort. I'd imagine that takes multiple ATMs. This was also while he only had $34 in his bank account. So that sounds like a good business proposition to me. He's turned $34 into $170,000 just by pressing a few buttons. While the student hasn't actually been seen in public since, understandably, people have speculated he's completely fled the country as $170,000 is 68 times the average yearly income in Ethiopia. You're obviously going to expect a sequel to Catch Me If You Can from this story, except it'll be in a different currency and probably a slightly different premise. Ed Sheeran, American Town. You're waking up with a Central West burst breaking. On 92.7 Zoo. Oh, it's going to keep me on my toes. Coming up in about 10 minutes' time, we've got a bloke coming on to have a chat with us about the biggest event of the year in Stewart Town and it's a great little festival to head down there for the Easter long weekend. Got things for the kids, got things for you, got things for everyone, and it's absolutely massive. It's got a huge history and heritage behind it as well. Chatting to him in about five minutes' time. Imagine Dragons starting us off, whatever it takes, in Monday morning's UFM Breakfast. Four-day work week. Haven't had one of them in a while. I wonder what that feels like. We'll find out towards the end of the week. Lovely day ahead as well. It's your home and Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. Imagine Dragons, almost 20 minutes to eight. UFM Breakfast, top of 29 degrees today in Dunedu. Currently at nine degrees. It's going to be absolutely sunny. Beautiful day ahead. Getting busy on Dandaloo Street at the Mitchell Highway, the intersection there in Narromine. However, I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary. You're on Zoo's Breakfast. Michael Taney, the president of the organising body for the Man From Ironbark Festival, joins us. Good morning, mate. Good morning. How are you? I'm all right. You must be busy. The event's coming up this weekend, I think. When and where is the festival actually happening this year? Well, it's in Stewart Town. It's in the recreational ground, which is basically in the centre, dead centre of town. For anyone unaware, what sort of festival are you guys running? It's called the Man From Ironbark Festival and it's a very big family-orientated festival named after Banjo Paterson's poem, Man From Ironbark, which is all about Stewart Town because it's what we were formerly known as. Where are the heritages actually behind the name? How long has the festival been running? In its current format, it's been running for about 20 years, but it all started with a couple of tables, a couple of ladies as an Easter market on the front veranda of the hall. So it's just grown and grown over the years. I hear there's a free Easter egg hunt on offer. I'm sure that wasn't there when it first started. No, that wasn't there from when it first... Definitely wasn't, yeah, when it first started, but, yes, free Easter egg hunt, free kids' rides, bucking bull, face painting. So there's a lot of family stuff, but we're really pleased this year, for the first time in over a decade, we've got sheepdog trials happening at the festival as well. How do the sheepdog trials work in general? I mean, I come from, you know, Sydney, so I'm absolutely stupid when it comes to things like that, but I'm genuinely curious. I'm originally from Sydney as well. Oh, good! I'm fascinated in the whole thing, but listening to it, I mean, there's 400 sheep that we had to find. Oh, wow. You'll be here earlier in the week setting up all these obstacles and whatnot, so for people who have not seen it, I think it's going to be really... particularly our city people, it's going to be really fascinating to watch. How many sheep did you say you were going to find? 400 sheep. You think about it as well, why they've got to do it. I mean, they're going to be running the trials all day. You've got an animal welfare. They can't just run around with sheep all the time. Of course. They can't wear them out. Yes, I didn't even consider that. I was taken aback at first. I mean, they're 400 sheep, what can you do with half a dozen? Exactly. Is there anything, any other new additions to the festival this year other than the sheepdog trials? Well, we've got... I mean, yeah, we've got a new addition. We've got our normal reptile display. We've got a dinosaur and fossil adventure, which is quite interesting with the big dinosaurs that are coming out. The kids will love that. We've got Bushman November Shaun happening. We've got plenty of market stalls. I took another couple of bookings. They've now closed, but we're up to about close to 60 market stalls coming. And then when you take into account we've got everything else. We've got Dubbo's favourite, Pooka the Clown. He'll be wandering around. And just a lot of good fun and good family fun it's going to be. What's the sort of cost involved? You're looking at a $5 entry. Oh, that's not much. Yeah, and $15 for a family of four. So it just helps cover the cost because it's all run by the Short Town Events and Association, which we're just a little community group. We've got some good sponsors on board, but a lot of this is self-funded. So, yeah, it just covers the cost. But like I said, there's a lot of free activities. It's a great day out for the whole family. So come along. Thanks for coming on to have a chat this morning, Marcus. Where can people head to find out more information if they're looking at going? Please just have a look on our Facebook page. It's 2024 Man from Ironbark Festival. And all the updates, and I've got individual posters on all the different events. All the updates are on there. Brilliant. Much appreciated for your time. Thanks, mate. No, thank you for your time. You're on Zoo's Breakfast. Sochi, ten minutes to seven? No, we've travelled back in time now. Ten minutes to eight. The Zoo FM Breakfast Jam at Dubbo. Best music from the 80s to now. It's Keegan with you. It's up at 29 degrees in Shrangi today, currently 12 degrees. A new study by Consumer Group Choice has laid out sort of the bare reality of what many people call shrinkflation. And the results are actually worse than you probably think. A Woolworth's mud cake has shrunk from 600 grams to 585 grams. But it's remained the same price. So it has gone down ever so slightly. These are the results by the Consumer Group Choice. This isn't me doing some sort of clandestine investigation because I'm not capable of it at all. Generic home brand grain cereal, similar to something like Nutri-Grain and the type of grain it is, it's reduced from 560 grams to 495 grams. That's the home brand cereal. It's stayed the same price, so reducing there by about 60 grams or so. Still staying the same price. While all over the place at the moment, Easter hot cross buns, you can't not see them anywhere, they've reduced by 30 grams in weight while increasing by 50 cents to $4.50. So gone up in price and down in size. The average cost and weight of all-purpose cleaning spray has reduced by 200 mils. 200, but increased by $1.50. It's truly the end times. We are in the end times. I'm not going to be able to afford to wipe down my surfaces shortly, which is seriously the example of an apocalypse. Adele, rolling in the deep. Stream Monday mornings to FM. That is breakfast on Zoom. Coming up in about 10 minutes' time, I'm going to have Dubbo, State MP and leader of the NSW Nationals, Dougal Saunders, and I'm going to have a chat about a variety of things for our weekly fortnightly conversation. Playing you in about 10 minutes' time as well, a bit of Justin Bieber, Pink Sting and Marshmello also on the way, but starting you off with Madonna, like a prayer for your Monday morning short week. I'm sorry, I'm just so excited about it. You'd understand it if you wake up at 3am. Madonna, like a prayer for your Monday morning Zoo FM breakfast. Top of 29 degrees today in Narrowmine, currently 12 degrees. Should be sunny all week. Wylanders Street and the Mitchell Highway getting a bit busy at the intersection there. Dubbo, State MP and the leader of the NSW Nationals, Dougal Saunders, joins us again this morning. Good morning, mate. G'day, Kagan. Good to talk to you. Good to talk to you as well. I see the Royal Easter show in Sydney is taking place at the moment. It's really just a scaled-up version of what we can expect here in Dubbo in a couple of months, isn't it? Yeah, look, I guess it basically is. And look, we've got some fantastic local people involved in the Royal Easter show. Some of our schools, including Wellington High, the Macquarie Anglican Grammar School, St John's, have all had cattle at the show over Friday and Saturday particularly. All had a bit of success, which is fantastic, and all really delighted to be down and involved in the Easter show again. We've had local pig producers, and in fact Dubbo's show president, Wes Temersall, has been down here for the last few days with the pigs on display. He was lucky enough to present a couple of ribbons and medallions there last night. And look, just as far as the show goes, the whole vibe at the moment is fantastic around supporting agriculture. But we also had, for the Dubbo electorate, two young women in the young woman competition this year in the Sydney finals. So, first of all, from the Wellington show, Elijah Whiteley, and from the Golgong show, Alana Wade, who both made it through the final, both spoke extremely well yesterday. The winner, in fact, of the competition came from Taree, Dominic Wise, and Paris Capelle from Orange came in runner-up. But a fantastic competition for all our young women to be involved with, and looking forward to seeing the difference they make in our communities over the coming years. It's just brilliant to see this local region on the stage in front of the rest of the state. To change the topic slightly, I saw when I finished up work on Friday that the new bail laws had been passed for youth offenders. But something that caught my eye was it's only for 12 months. What's supposed to happen after that? That's a very good question. One of the ones we raised during Parliament last week was around the fact that this was seen as a circuit breaker or a trial. But if you only have something in mind for 12 months and no actual plan of what to do after that, it's already basically half failing before it starts. So, you know, I've spoken about the concerns we've had about the bail laws and the fact that they're targeted towards two specific things, only targeted 14 to 18-year-olds, and the fact that we've needed an inquiry. We finally got confirmation of an inquiry at least getting off the ground. Not exactly how we would have wanted it, but at least it's happening. So we need all of those things to be looked at properly. And meantime, this is a year. Today, Keegan, is one year of this new government. That's only been that long? Wow, OK, time flies. Yeah. In the past 12 months, Mims and his team have had an opportunity to do all of the sort of things that we know need to be done. But what unfortunately has happened is we've had clarification that actually he doesn't guess and doesn't care about anything outside of Sydney. So with that whole regional crime wave that's been happening, it's taken up until last week for any sort of realisation of what that means. He's consulted with one regional town, that being Moree. His police minister hasn't been listening, said an inquiry would be a waste of time. He's cut our regional seniors' travel cards. He's cut our back-to-school vouchers. No more resources for regions, funding, no more big infrastructure like the Great Western Highway upgrades. All that's been happening really is review after review after review. And in a couple of months, we'll have a new budget, and I can tell you what, there are grave concerns about what that will mean for everyone in the state, not just in regional New South Wales. But I can tell you one thing, the government's clueless. We are here to make sure that everyone in the state's looked after. Well, it'll be interesting to see what happens over another year of the Mims government. Good to have you on for a chat, Dougal. Brilliant to have you on this morning. Good on you, mate. Have a good day. Thanks, mate. You too. You're on Zoo's Breakfast. Justin Bieber and Chance the Rapper, 25 past eight, Zoo FM Breakfast, your home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. Top of 29 in Narrowmine today, currently 12 degrees. It's going to be absolutely lovely, a sunny day ahead. Just a reminder, if you travel between Wellington and Dubbo, either way for work, currently there is road work happening, but only this week, so don't be panicked yet. Reduce speed of 40 kilometres an hour between Monday to Friday from 7am to 5pm on certain parts of the highway from Dubbo to Wellington. So if you're travelling that way, in order to avoid quite a catastrophic fine, look out for the road signs. I'd tell you the street names, but I'd rather not absolutely butcher the pronunciation. Oasis, Wonderwall. Coming up shortly, you've seen pictures of the police hiding, you know, accused faces. A US police department has put a certain icon over their faces that is just absolutely fascinating. You're waking up with the Central West best recce. On 927 Zoo. A couple of minutes away, telling you about a US police department that has taken a very unorthodox approach to covering sort of accused criminals' faces on their social media posts. Instead of just doing the usual thing and blurring them, they've gone and used the most peculiar cover-up possible. Fans' Joy, a couple of minutes away. Kid Leroy first, too much. It's got Young Cook in it. I love the spelling of Young Cook. I'm sure you're aware of that by now. Zoo FM Breakfast, Monday morning. Fans' Joy, 20 minutes to 9. Zoo FM Breakfast, top of 29 degrees. In at Gilgandra today, currently 16 degrees. Going to be a sunny, lovely week ahead right up until the long weekend. Make a Surprise Fries is on now. You can peel your fries, win a prize, but hurry. The magic ends 9th of April. The global company behind Lego has instructed a California police department to stop using their Lego heads to mask faces of criminals in arrest videos and social media. The superintendent of the police station told media that the Lego group became increasingly frustrated with the station's use of the Lego head because it was being plastered over people suspected of committing incredibly serious crimes and there were just videos of them bobbling around in the Lego head. The superintendent also said, we are currently exploring other methods to continue publishing our content in a way that is engaging and interesting to our followers. I don't think you're meant to be making a social media marketing strategy out of arrest videos. I really don't think that's the type of content that you need to market. But considering they're exploring other options, I'm guessing they'll place maybe sort of Teletubbies over the images of car thieves next, probably. Hopefully, actually. That'd be quite interesting. You're on Zoo's Brekky. Three doors down, ten minutes to nine. 2FM Breakfast for your Monday morning. A short four-day week this week. Probably a few people sighing in relief for that one. It's all 29 and trangy today. Currently 16.5 degrees. It's going to be sunny all week. Absolutely lovely weather. Give us a ring any time. 68848499. That's 68848499. Direct line straight into the studio. I'll answer the phone and hopefully, unlike the person who rang me earlier, you do speak down the handset. All I got was about 40 seconds of the ambience of someone's workplace. And the line ended up dropping out. The Dubbo Guide Dog Support Group invites you to Twilight Drinks and Canapes on Saturday the 6th of April from 6pm. The fundraiser event will be held in the Regent Park Homestead Garden at 6 Avalon Place in Dubbo. The Dubbo Guide Dog Support Group Committee has been raising funds to help train guide dogs for over 40 years. Tickets are available from 1, 2, 3 ticks until April the 2nd. Canapes and Twilight Drinks. That sounds absolutely... That sounds very fancy. That's very, very high class. Lil Nas X. Montero. Monday mornings. UFM Breakfast. Home of Dubbo's best music from the 80s to now. Iconic pop. Color Minutes to 9. UFM Breakfast. Brings us to the end, practically. I've had an unfortunate incident occur. Molly has just informed me that I've been pronouncing Young Cook wrong the entire time for the last three weeks. I have been mispronouncing it every single time without fail. It's Chung Cook. Chung Cook? We'll get there eventually, I'm so sorry. I knew there was something up about the way I was pronouncing Young Cook. I was so fascinated by it that it turned out I was getting it wrong the entire time. If you're ever going to do something wrong, do it wrong with confidence and you'll be right. Coming up on the show tomorrow, we have the captain of the Trangie Fire Station on there. The regional championship for firefighters on over the weekend. I'm fascinated as to what that entails. You 80s are at work, isn't it? Zubricki.
