Speaker 3 (00:11):
Coming up on the podcast today, Russell's still six, so
Baron Smiley helped fill in again Today. Ossie actor Richard
Roxburgh chats about the new documentary on the ABC Killer Whale,
Australia's megapod, which he narrates beautifully. It's feel Good Friday,
so we took your calls on your happy news and
stories from this week Barrot Talk's sport, including who made
the final cut for the twenty twenty five All Australian team,

(00:33):
the latest at the US Open, and Perth not only
having an ice hockey team but they're playing in the
national finals this weekend. There's a rise in people having
relationships with AI and we debate if it is considered cheating.
And a huge American celebrity couple have bought a property
in the Cotswolds and the locals are probably not too
thrilled by it. I want to get your thoughts on something.

(00:54):
I'm increasingly bemused and alarmed in equal measure at the
up prize of in people having so called relationships with AI.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
It's not real. It's not real. Is yes? People have
people you use the idea of his chat ept.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Do people have relationship?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
No, people are having relationships with a I bots, which.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
All sorts of relationships, romantic relationships, well they think they're
having romantic relationships and.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
The small who know. This morning, there's a poll in
the news that says a.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Third a third of singles people consider sexting with an
AI bot is cheating.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
If your partner gets jealous of a robot, it's not
even and it's.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Not even a robot, isn't It's just it's just a
program that you're communicating with on your keyboard.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Am I right? Is that what? That's what we're dealing with.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
So you're sexting back and forward with something that's not
even real.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
I'm trying to process.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
I know, there's so much. Is it emotional cheating if
you're hide it, I suppose. And you delete a lot
of stuff, a lot of deleting.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
As as you delete something, there's a red fat. According
to the poll by Datingadvice dot Com and the Kinsey Institute,
thirty two percent of people think.

Speaker 6 (02:22):
Sexy time with a bot get that fat. That is wrong,
it's cheating on well, sixty believe it does cross a line.
The survey revealed twenty nine percent of singles view romantic
relationships with AI companions as cheating, and it brings up
growing concern about technology based connections impacting traditional relationships. Other

(02:44):
parts of the survey found seventy two percent said it
was cheating to sex with a real person. Well, yes,
I'm there with that, and thirty three percent said infidelity
included having an only fan subscription.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Not I don't know how I feel about that.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
I don't really idea what that is.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Thirteen percent thirteen percent actually say it's cheating if your
significant other likes posts by attractive people.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
So you're allowed to like posts by people that the
back end of a bus, but not if they're pretty.

Speaker 5 (03:19):
This is weird because I absolutely love my toaster, you know,
because I had crumpets.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yes, how good is this.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Too?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
But I had no romantic inclination.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
But is that is that crossing the line?

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Kiss and I would be careful with kissing a toaster.
It gets very hot.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
We're talking about a bit of crumpet, aren't we, So
is it cheating? Getting spicy?

Speaker 4 (03:49):
With Siri exactly, whispering, sweet, nothing's this Siri? Siri?

Speaker 5 (03:56):
Could you get me a could you give me a sore?

Speaker 2 (04:00):
We are known that I'm a no.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Look, I'm a no to the whole idea of communicating
with an AI chatbot.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, under any circumstance. I've got a dog. I don't
need to I can talk to my dog.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah that's true. I'll tell you what. For the benefit
of research, I'll check it out.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Right, thank you, only I'm.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Doing research, Jade, all right, get back to us.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Killer Whale Australia's megapod is available to stream on ABC
iView right now, and narrating this incredible documentary is Richard Roxburgh.

Speaker 7 (04:31):
Good morning, good morning.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Now.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Killer whales are just next level spectacular, aren't they.

Speaker 7 (04:38):
They are really something. They are quite extraordinary animals. I
mean I learned I did. I actually learned so much
from from narrating the documentary. But I had always had
a sort of passing interest in them. But they're incredible.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
I mean, calling them killer whales is a bit of
a misnomer, isn't it. They're actually part of the dolphin family.

Speaker 7 (04:58):
Yeah, well, I guess the all whales. But it does
sound kind of horribly reductive to call such a beautiful
animal by such a kind of you know, a kind
of dull name, like killer whales. I like Orcus, I
like Aucus. Yeah, let's go with that. Let's call them that.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Let's go with Orca. Have you seen them in the
wild yourself?

Speaker 7 (05:19):
We thought, because we're lucky enough to live in the
Northern Beaches in Sydney, and we thought we saw a
pod of them offshore here last year and it was
because they were behaving in a completely different way to humpbacks. Yeah, so,
and it was it was just astonishing. They're really something
to behold.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
So a lot of people don't know that.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Not only are there killer whales and way, I don't
think it was within the last ten years that I
learned this. But there are two distinct pods, one off
Bremer Bay and the other off Ningaloo Reef, and they
are both very individual and the Brema Bay pod is
apparently the healthiest.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
In the world.

Speaker 7 (06:00):
Yeah, so they've counted up to kind of two hundred
individuals in that pod about sixty k's off Brama Bay.
But it's yeah, it's a huge and really thriving population.
Isn't it great to hear a good news story from
our aquatic friends. It is, you know what I mean,
so great.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Well, that's why documentaries like this are important too, to
you know, to educate everyone.

Speaker 7 (06:22):
Yeah. Absolutely, And their science around them is mind boggling.
I mean, they've got their brains are thirty million years
more advanced than ours, and they're they're much much larger
so in terms of kind of literal surface area. So
they're incredibly smart.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, I was looking at Facebook this morning. They didn't
have much to have to improve on. They are an
incredibly intelligent species. They work together, they have matriarchs, Different
pods around the world, have different hunting methods. Did you
learn any fun random facts about them while you were
narrating this?

Speaker 7 (07:03):
The ones in the ones in Bremer Bay I have
got an Australian accent. That's an interesting fact. So they're
doing all of this work in the world of sonics
obviously in recording them, and they do they speak with
a different accent ones. No, that's true, and they don't

(07:24):
really know. They're hoping that eventually, you know, with the
advent of AI, they might be able to actually understand
what they're talking about. But they've got quite advanced linguistics.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, well my mind is blown that they have different
accents so much to.

Speaker 7 (07:42):
Quick amazing fact. Yes, that's in the documentary and you
see this, and it's really not for the fainthearted. They're
hunting down a beaked whale and there's a whole pack,
there's about sixty of them. They tire this poor animal out,
and what there are are is the skin of the whale,

(08:03):
and so it sounds horrible and cruel, but what they
actually do is skin the animal. It's consumption. And so
they've tried to figure this out and it's part of
the kind of law around these animals that seems needlessly cruel.
But what they've discovered, what they think it might be,
is it kind of they're after vitamins and omega threes.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
And so.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
It's kind of like they're just after their their vitamins
and that are really necessary for the part and in
particularly young ones.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Well, we're just lucky because we can get official tablets
in you know, tablets from the shop.

Speaker 7 (08:44):
Yeah, we don't have to skin anything alive.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
I heard that that's where the term killer whale comes from.
It's because ancient sailors saw them, you know, going after
other whales.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah, So anyway, well this is an amazing document and
it is available to stream anytime of the day you
like now on ABC I View.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's always a pleasure.

Speaker 7 (09:06):
Richard Roxborough, my absolute pleasure as well.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
The Sure report on ninety six airm.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Beyonce and jay Z have purchased a fifty eight acre
estate in the UK.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
It's in the Cotswold. Oh lovely, I know, beautiful.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
I'm trying to picture jay Z lined up to buy
his milk and paper on Sunday morning, alongside Victoria and
David Beckham, Simon Cowell and Jeremy Clarkson.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Do you think jay Z and j.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
Z last two weeks?

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Oh, you're gonna love this Barre and a corner. Kova
is pregnant again. The former tennis star and Enrique Iglesias
are expecting baby number four.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Clearly that shot was in and.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Looking kid too.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
How about this?

Speaker 3 (09:56):
I've read somewhere something terrifying this morning. Evidently in the US, Yes,
fake nurses are a massive problem. Authorities in multiple states
it's a series have reported cases of individuals falsely claiming
to be licensed nurses or working in nursing positions without
valid credentials. The crisis is called impostor nurses, leading to

(10:17):
the creation of impostor lists to prevent them from practicing
in other states. An investigation called Operation Nightingale uncovered a
scheme in Florida where over seven six hundred fake nursing
diplomas were distributed between twenty sixteen and twenty twenty one,
allowing unlicensed individuals to obtain credentials without proper education or

(10:38):
any clinical work. That is scary now. A situation in
the US is going to court where a woman is
suing a restaurant she says gave her the finger. A
New York woman claims she found a human fingertip in
her chicken wrap forty your Face Barre. Forty three year
old Various Smith of Manhattan allegers that the incident occurred
after she ordered the rap to go at create astoria

(11:00):
in Queen's. She's filed a complaint that states she took
a bite and discovered human tissue a fingertip inside. The
complaint further states that she was permanently traumatized by the
experience and that she had to undergo strong anti retroviral
therapy to protect against any potential exposure to deadly diseases.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Her lawyer says his office.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
At the fingertip to a lab for testing and it
was confirmed to be tissue from a human female.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
Imagine the payout.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
The restaurant says her claim is ludicrous. The owner has
called the lawsuit completely fraudulent, that it couldn't possibly have happened,
and says he plans to countersue Mary Smith for slander.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Lisa was an a band aid. I suppose.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
I've not had a band aid. I haven't had a finger.

Speaker 5 (11:48):

Here's a lovely story that's just come through. A Newcastle
family met a Ugandan man this week that they'd sponsored

(12:25):
as a child. The child, Edward Kankaker, is now thirty
six ye years old, and he was visiting Melbourne from
a medical conference because he's now a globally recognized HIV
research scientist.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
That's good news in and of itself.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Probably, you know, had to do had a bit to
do with being sponsored as a child in Uganda, and
he was able to take time to visit Newcastle and
say hello to his sponsor family face to face. He says,
it's like meeting a family you never have seen. A father,
a mother, a sister, brothers who you had only imagined,
but now you can hold them nice.

The Legends game was on, so they brought back all
the old Legends to play in a charity game for
prostrate cancer. Prostagous just fix that up for me, and
they had the All Australian selection as well on television.
It was the AFL Awards night and the actual Legends

(21:31):

boys come back and play. Oh some of them looked
like they'd swallowed the sheep, you know what I mean,
Like friend and Favola fared income me, I swallowed a sheep.
There's no mirrors at my place either, by the way,
and Sarah REALI he has lost nothing.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
He kicked a goal out of the middle.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
He kicked it out of the square, so it would
have been about seventy five eighty meters.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
They didn't kick it that far in his day.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
I know he was a talk as well.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
I'm thinking of ringing him up and getting into per
footy club next year with the Brandon parfit. So the
All Stars basically won the game. They beat the Victorians.
And how's this cause he didn't play. He was a
late withdraw. Yeah, I think they crossed to his hotel.
Hotel room to his hospital room. I was having surgery
on his knees.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Let him have his surgery.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
Famous he was under sedation. What's that song? I'm under sedation.
Let's let's Williams? I think time. Yeah, yeah, where were
you going? Anyway?

Speaker 5 (22:36):
So then, and guess what happened as well, poor old Hughsey,
you know, Dave Hughes. He got run through by someone.
I don't know if it's gorange, the influenza or some
redhead anyway, and he's ended up in hospital. So he
is in hospital with cracked ribs and a punctured law
Dave Hughes.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
Can you do radio with those things going? And they
were crossing his room as well. Don't worry about that.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
So the other thing that was on, of course, was
the All Australian team, and as we forecast yesterday, great
to see docer Jordan Clark in the team.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
This wonderful guy, great and great. You know, it just
deserves to be there.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
It wasn't the only one, was it.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
Yeah, and Caleb's wrong. So Caleb's third time, Jordan's first time.
Let me just say, what about the Eagles? Let me
just check my notes. No Eagles, No Eagles, not this
year later, Harley soon.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
A Star of the making, different from the Rising Star award.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
Yeah, so this Murphy Reid is voted in by the players, okay,
is the best first year player?

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Oh okay?

Speaker 4 (23:36):
And the Rising Stars awarded by a panel. So it
looks like he could go two.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
I reckon he'll get it on Brownlow Night as well,
so that'll be massive. Bailey Smith and Noah Anderson were
the joint winners of the Coaches Awards, so it's the
best player in the competition. And then you don't expect
news to be broken at events like this. But then
Smiley he opened up up to the presenter and talked
about when he wrecked his knee last year and just

(24:04):
how bad his mental health battle was.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Listen to this.

Speaker 12 (24:07):
It was about a year ago. I got out of
a cycle.

Speaker 11 (24:10):
Word.

Speaker 12 (24:10):
I was in Epworth Campbell for like four weeks and
I got a couple hours out of day and I
spent that sort of training and I went through a
really dark time and yeah, I didn't think i'd get
to I suppose the other side. And it's not a
sympathy for me thing. It's just more to raise. When
it's that, you can put your hand up and yeah,
I don't know. It's a tough period, but yeah, it

(24:32):
wouldn't changeup. The world always makes sense in retrospect, So
just know, yeah, whatever dark period you're going through, one
day it will make sense.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
I guess.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
Yeah, you finished with a positive there that you know,
he looked like he was in a real bad space,
but he got out of it and now he reflects
on it. It's probably what he had to do. So
that was quite a remark. I would hear the best
player in the camp open up like that. Now the
Docors tickets they're going on sale at ten o'clock. So
what time is it now? You got just under two
hours to get ready, get on ticket mark you've got

(25:00):
to go in earlier.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
That's the tricks.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
In five minutes early, start logging, logging, logging, logging until.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
I don't know, it's bail. It's a bit.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Sends you through.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, we bet the old days, I know, right.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
And I reckon all time big crowd for the Dockers.
I reckon they'll be record.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
Do you think there'll be any left for the general
public at three pm?

Speaker 4 (25:21):
They do hold some back.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
It's a strange thing they have to do because they're well,
I suppose it's not strange, but anyway, that's what they do.
So fifty eight nine and eighty two is the record
for the Dockers. That was the first ever AFL final
at Optus. So I reckon they'll burst through that. I'll
smash through that.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
That is live coverage of Dave Hughes last night, but
it was from his hospital bed this morning. Apparently he
because Dave Hughes got taken out during the Legends game,
five broken ribs and a punctured lung, but he played
on through. Can't say he's not tough, hung around for
the after party, got over at two am, and then

(25:58):
got his wife to drive him to the hospital in
the very early hours of this morning.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
It's always when you lie down and you cool down
and you go, oh, then I've done something.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
Do you shut up? Pole? I didn't walk it off.
Made they feel so bad.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
You bruise them and you think, yeah, back in sixteen,
you know, I go into the toilet is the worst.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
Imagine coughing. You said someone broke their ribs.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Cock to the girl in Melbourne who she was had
such a bad fluid.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
She was coughing so much she broke a rib.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
That is unbelievable. Now ready with the pronunciations. You know
what do we need Julian Us Open Tennis?

Speaker 5 (26:33):
Can you help me out? Actually, these these ones are okay.
So there was an incredible match last night Taylor Town's End.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
American and cereal hothead Elena Ostapenko. She was involved. After
their match, they had a heated exchange. I love that word.
Heated exchange. They met for a post match handshake and
then they started finger wagging. Ostapenko was wagging like she
was doing a katter. Basically really yeah, yeah, yeah, her

(27:02):
American opponents.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Nothing worse than a finger in your face.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
I know, disrespectful flares things, doesn't it does? She reckoned
that Townsend, the American was being disrespectful because she hit
a netball at a very decisive moment, and she didn't
say sorry, do you know what a netball is? You
know when it hits, clips the net and goes over
and you normally go, oh, that was a fluke. Sorry,
she didn't do that, so she got upset Ostapinko, and

(27:25):
then for her part, Townsend said Ostapinko had insulted her
after the post match handshake, and you might have the
audio listen to how she described it.

Speaker 10 (27:36):
She told me, I have no class, I have no education,
and to see what happens when we get outside the US.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
She's going after an outside the car part next match. Huge,
so possibly racial undertones. I reckon too, but anyway, no class,
no education, I'll see what happens now when we've beat
her outside the US anyway, well for a week and
it's huge.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
Lease, I am unable.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
Tomorrow your your Royals versus the Tigers and Revo Fitness Stadium.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Go the Mighty Royals.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
Yeah, and then the big one, sudden death, good Grocer
Park East from Antal versus Perth be there or b
Square calling all demons fans, calling all demons fans like
a phoenix out of the ashes, and quickly you've had
a great year.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
Yeah, it's well done. We can get and thank you
and a little one a lot more than just me, but.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
You're their spiritual leader.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Quickly.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
Have you seen all the monuments around Perth like Matta,
Garrett Bridge and Graham Farmer Tunnel all being sort of
in red and blue? Okay, And I was thinking that
must be for West Perth or the Bulldogs or something.
It was actually four Australian Ice Hockey. Well, the finals
are on over the next three days.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
The Perth Thundery will play the Melbourne Mustangs in Melbourne
today one pm our time. Get down to Varsity and
Morley if you want to watch it. It's on the
end and if they win, they'll play the camera Brave
in a semi final tomorrow, also at one o'clock out time.
If they win that, they'll be into the Grand Final
on Sunday at midday.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Say go the very scary.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Game ice hockey. Don't let Dave Hughes play.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
He's a big softy year.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
That's what happens when soft humans meet former footballers.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
That's what happens.

Speaker 5 (29:24):
I'll just quickly be serious for one second. There's an
alarming news story today as well. You might have heard
it in our news. Adam Hunter posthumously diagnosed with CTE.
So that will become a big issue in footy. I
guess that needs a

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Big issue in foot there and Russell ninety six FM
