Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Sure Report on ninety six AIRFM.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Country star jelly Roll is headlining.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
That's not a name for it. That is not a
country music a jelly roll jelly Roll. It's like a
rapper's name, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well? I seen him anyway. He's headlining a festival at
the showgrounds this weekend, and yesterday he was living out
his dreams cuddling a baby Quaker. It must have been
at a wildlife sanctuary somewhere over east. I don't think
he's in town yet. Don't go racing off to Rotnest
today looking for mister Roll. The thing is evidently jelly
Roll is a huge Quaker fan. He has one tattooed

(00:38):
on his wrist. So getting to cuddle the joey, he said,
this might be the greatest day of my life.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
And he jumped on.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
His phone to FaceTime his wife, whose name is Bunny
XO baby, it's.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
A baby Quaker. Most importantly, we got to name this
baby Quaker. He had a name or something country Loretta.
I love Loretta Loretta, the infamous Loretta Lyon. It's gold
be a new thing. We canna start rescuing Quaker. Could
you've called herself Loretta instead of bummy.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Funny funny ex So he was. He was playing a
bit of coal miner's daughter to the Quacker from his
phone there. I guess he realizes he's going to be
in the actual home of the Quacker this weekend from
if he doesn't make it on stage at Strummingbird on Sunday,
you know where to find him.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
The Quaker Meca also he was.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I think he was playing in Brisbane on the weekend.
There's a video online he did the Angels. Am I
ever going to see your face again? Now, clearly he
had been clued in as to what to expect, but
I don't think he's banned had been because the look
on their faces where you know what happened.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
To us and it's just well, it's just what you do.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Anyway, We we welcome you to town, mister Roll. The
Stray Cats were supposed to start a big new tour
the US on the weekend, but were forced to cancel
the first shows because the frontman, Brian Sets, his serious
illness quote unquote. Now they've not disclosed what the illness is,
but he did say earlier this year that he was
dealing with an autoimmune disorder that makes it difficult to

(02:14):
play guitar. Now to the biggest controversy of the last week.
The Bureau of Meteorology's new website get Me started driving
people to despair the length and breadth of this country. Well,
the BOMB has defended its new four million dollar website

(02:35):
and plans to push ahead with it.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Of course, they said.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
The site went live last week and the response from
the public was swift, harsh, and widespread, with social media
and radio talkback awash with criticism. Five days later, the
negative feedback has not abated. Well, that's because it hasn't
gotten any better. The Bureau has acknowledged the new website
has been difficult to navigate. Meteorologists Michael Logan says it

(03:03):
is a rearrangement of where everything is. It is quite
a major change. Mister Logan is hoping that with time
will get used to it. He says, we will find
all the information is still there, and we will get
used to finding it. He thinks will grow to love
the benefits of the news site. But having said that,
he's not ruled out future changes. He said, we will

(03:27):
see just how much feedback comes through.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Right In other words, like it or lump it.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
You were saying, Russell, that you've seen evidence of something
of an exodus.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
So I saw something on the weekend online saying that
a rival weather site, their site crashed. There's so many people,
so many people hopped on that instead of the bomb site. Ye,
so this is the thing.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
We get to vote with our you know, little texting,
little cooking fingers, and we left in droves. It's not workable.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, I'm not impressed, none of us are. I give
it one star out of five.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
As you said, mister Logan, we will see how much
feedback comes through, shall

Speaker 1 (04:08):
We Yes, and none of it positive.
