Speaker 1: We got get you the morning every day, Adelaides.
Speaker 2: Is really to.
Speaker 3: Eat more, and it's a good one. It is in
Speaker 3: a relationship. Females are always right. I'm for it, You're
Speaker 3: against it. This is Toughjesu. It goes against everything, you.
Speaker 4: Know, jo Grain, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: She'd like me to go first.
Speaker 3: You sure ready to go?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 3: Okay, dust that off, Here we go.
Speaker 2: Women are incredible, in the words of the Great Whitney Houston.
Speaker 3: Okay, mag.
Speaker 2: Damp straight Whitney rip by the way, our scowls aren't
Speaker 2: always right, and we have a long history of balls
Speaker 2: ing things up, particularly when it involves men. Let's take
Speaker 2: a look back through history, shall we. In the seventeen hundreds,
Speaker 2: Catherine the Great ruled Russia and was the most powerful
Speaker 2: woman in the world, but urban myth states that she
Speaker 2: died having sex with a horse. Poor call Catherine. Poor
Speaker 2: call Rose was incorrect on the Titanic when she kept
Speaker 2: being tired draw to herself, leading the love of her
Speaker 2: life to sink to an icy death. There was room, Rose,
Speaker 2: There was plenty of room. Monica Lewinsky did a lot
Speaker 2: of things right until Bill invited her into the Oval office.
Speaker 2: More recently that hr manager was incorrect when she went
Speaker 2: with her boss to the Coldplay concert. I'll leave you
Speaker 2: with this, Marge Simpson was not right when she almost
Speaker 2: almost had an affair with her ten pin bowling coach Sharks.
Speaker 2: Remember this.
Speaker 5: Homer Ball's name A Marge.
Speaker 2: Homer almost exacted revenge with Mindy. My point being, no
Speaker 2: one man or woman is ever right one hundred percent
Speaker 2: of the time, all of the time except meet home
Speaker 2: with marsk correct. I'm sorry to bring the Simpsons into it.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I haven't asked your Achilles heel very strong points.
Speaker 2: Was that A did that resonate with you? That time
Speaker 2: that marginally had.
Speaker 3: An affair with dark a sleazy operator he was? Wasn't
Speaker 3: her careful to the bowling alley these days? Alright, I'm
Speaker 3: going to go four. Hey, women, I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 3: we're always right in a relationship. Here's why women are
Speaker 3: always right, and guess what, don't argue it's completely useless.
Speaker 3: Reason number one, they remember everything, even the thing you
Speaker 3: forgot that you forgot, including that thing you said in
Speaker 3: twenty twelve at three forty seven pm. Reason number two.
Speaker 3: Women have intuition, also known as I know you're up
Speaker 3: to something, even if you don't know it yet. Reason
Speaker 3: number three. She's already had the argument twice in her head,
Speaker 3: and guess what she won both times. Reason number four.
Speaker 3: She's fluent in a dialect called tone and somehow sweety,
Speaker 3: you're still tone deaf. Reason number five. She asked your
Speaker 3: opinion just to prove hers was better. This was never democracy.
Speaker 3: This is a feelings based monarchy. Reason number six. She
Speaker 3: doesn't need directions. She gave birth to your sense of direction.
Speaker 3: Reason number seven. She's always right, even when she says
Speaker 3: I might be wrong, which is a trap. Don't fall
Speaker 3: for it. Reason number eight. She can literally find anything
Speaker 3: you lost, but still makes you know that you're an
Speaker 3: idiot for losing it. And finally, she doesn't need to
Speaker 3: be right, she just is. And if you disagree, well
Speaker 3: that's adorable. I've proved my point and I'm pretty sure
Speaker 3: I've won this argument, and if you disagree with that,
Speaker 3: well that's adorable. In saying that, I'm starting to change
Speaker 3: my ways of starting to feel like you might have
Speaker 3: wonded debate after you dropped the whole horse thing. We've
Speaker 3: said that for so long. Never have sex with all.
Speaker 2: Cats the great she was doing so right, most powerful
Speaker 2: woman on the planet.
Speaker 3: Dropped the grade after that she was just mediocre.
Speaker 2: Cattern the horny all.
Speaker 3: Right thirteen and twenty four to ten? Who won the
Speaker 3: debates in a relationship? Are women always right? Or are
Speaker 3: they sometimes wrong? Careful? Careful?
Speaker 2: But I would argue that you can't be right on
Speaker 2: this occasion by winning the debate, then that would let's counterintuitive,
Speaker 2: because then that would make men right. Four. Don't vote
Speaker 2: against yourself, ladies, hope for me. Amy from Virginia. Who
Speaker 2: are you voting for? And of course it's the best
Speaker 2: of three?
Speaker 5: I am voting for you, Jody.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Amy. Are you saying women aren't always right?
Speaker 5: No, and only from personal experiences, I would agree that
Speaker 5: they are. But recently I've changed my mind.
Speaker 2: No, I feel like there was an incident.
Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 5: Oh no, guys, Look, I've been seeing a psychologist for multiples.
Speaker 1: Of reasons, and when else talking.
Speaker 5: To her, some of the things that she has said
Speaker 5: to me are exactly the same of things my husband
Speaker 5: has said to me in the past, so that I
Speaker 5: have not listen through. So I'm like, oh damn it.
Speaker 2: I'm always thank you. Thank you so much, Thanks to
Speaker 2: you vote. That is one meal so far. Caught me
Speaker 2: from West Lakes, Gortney, Good morning. Who are you voting for?
Speaker 5: Of course women are always right.
Speaker 3: Gordy sisters? Am I right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: The system?
Speaker 5: I love it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'll take that.
Speaker 2: Okay for the deciding votes, Let's go to Amy from Direct.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Amy, Good morning, Jody.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, but yeah, the sisters.
Speaker 2: It's brutal, brutal way to go down.
Speaker 3: It took such an obvious one side a debate for
Speaker 3: me to get the sisters on board.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Amy, appreciate you. Oh well, you're on.
Speaker 3: A roll, am I. Though, ITAs it takes us to seventh.
Speaker 2: Three, seven three, she's Louise, You're.
Speaker 3: Still a family. We're getting that time of the year
Speaker 3: as well where it's getting tight for me to make.
Speaker 2: A comeback seven three though it's not it's not dire,
Speaker 2: not just dire as what it was. Put it that way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, come with your celebrating in the moment.
Speaker 3: Ok that's okay, all right, jos Can we talk about
Speaker 3: it particular Zoo in Denmark and what's happening with the
Speaker 3: lines treated just a little bit different over there.
Speaker 2: Just going to preface this by saying, if you're a
Speaker 2: member of Peter or if you have a real passion
Speaker 2: for animals, this segment ain't going to be for you.
Speaker 3: Switch off now, Hey guys.
Speaker 2: A Danish zoo has asked people with pets neeering life
Speaker 2: and to donate the animals as food for its predators.
Speaker 3: Controversial.
Speaker 2: The Oldburg Zoo in northern Denmark. I just said it.
Speaker 3: We say that again. The Old Burg Zoo said it
Speaker 3: slurred with confidence.
Speaker 2: And Denmark said that it and other wildlife parks have
Speaker 2: a responsibility to imitate the natural food chain of the
Speaker 2: animals in terms of both animal welfare and professional integrity.
Speaker 2: They just want to keep it real like it is
Speaker 2: in the wild. If you have an animal that has
Speaker 2: to leave here for various reasons, feel free to donate
Speaker 2: it to us. The animals are gently euthanized by trained
Speaker 2: staff and afterwards used as fodder oo. That way nothing
Speaker 2: goes to waste and ensure natural behavior, nutrition and well
Speaker 2: being of our predators. Well. Shockingly, there was backlash social media.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, with plenty of protesters calling the zoo and
Speaker 2: I quote sick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could imagine I know.
Speaker 2: That this is the natural way of things, but it
Speaker 2: just seems very heavily sort of manufactured in this case,
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 3: I just don't feel like that's the way that flops.
Speaker 3: He would have want to go out, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's not what he's written.
Speaker 3: Also, Hey, Flopsy, guess what. We're going to go to
Speaker 3: the zoo. We're going to meet Larry the Lion. I'm
Speaker 3: going to leave you guys at the ear and have
Speaker 3: a playdate. I'll be back later. Have fun, guys, Have fun, guys.
Speaker 4: The following the.
Speaker 1: Mature audiences only and may contain a content graphic language
Speaker 1: and nudity. Not then you'll see it.
Speaker 4: If easily offended, well, you're about.
Speaker 3: To find out just how your father.
Speaker 2: Headline Grandma accidentally brings erotic novel to book club. Entire
Speaker 2: group demands she finished reading it.
Speaker 3: It's a stunning and brave headline.
Speaker 2: Yeah. A seventy four year old Brisbane grandmother caused quite
Speaker 2: the stir when she brought the wrong book to her
Speaker 2: monthly book club. Instead of assigned the secret garden, she
Speaker 2: mistakenly packed Ravish by the Ranch hand a spanking in
Speaker 2: the outback. It's a steamy Western erotica novel she'd picked
Speaker 2: up at a knopshop. Embarrassed, she did try to explain,
Speaker 2: but one member shouted keep writing. Soon the entire room
Speaker 2: was in stitches and blushing as she read aloud a
Speaker 2: scene involving throbbing masculinity and firm discipline in the hayloft.
Speaker 3: That's the best type of discipline.
Speaker 2: By the end of the chapter, the group had unanimously
Speaker 2: agreed to make it their new book of the month.
Speaker 2: They now meet weekly under a new name, Ladies of
Speaker 2: the Late Bloomer Library, said one member. We haven't felt
Speaker 2: this alive since the Fifty Shades of Gray series.
Speaker 3: That's good. Oh, keep it alive, keep it spice. It
Speaker 3: doesn't matter how old you are.
Speaker 2: Christian Gray, it's good.
Speaker 3: Thirteen and twenty four to ten. Let's share some stuff
Speaker 3: ravaged by the ranch hander spanking in the outback. What's
Speaker 3: your favorite chapter?
Speaker 2: Hey, one of the netball mums was telling me the
Speaker 2: other day. Apparently there's this series of books. I haven't
Speaker 2: read them yet, but they're like erotic novels about dragons.
Speaker 2: Thirteen twenty four ten. If you're reading it, I think
Speaker 2: it's a big thing. At the moment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in anyone's a dragon involved?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. If she was
Speaker 2: trying to explain it to like a mystical sci fi
Speaker 2: thing about dragons, but it's really horny.
Speaker 3: Are you about to throw it out there? Thirteen twenty
Speaker 3: four ten. De you fantasize about having sex with the dragon?
Speaker 3: What's going on here? I'm trying to read the room.
Speaker 2: I don't think the dragons are having sex.
Speaker 3: What are they doing you that? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I don't have any
Speaker 2: of the answers, but if you do thirteen twenty four ten,
Speaker 2: we'd love to hear from you. Ever paid a tribute
Speaker 2: to yourself on social media for your birthday?
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, people do it, though, don't they? People do?
Speaker 3: It's quite obnoxious. Take yourself, give yourself a selfie it
Speaker 3: say happy birthday to May. That's top shelf.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, Mega Markle has celebrated her forty fourth birthday.
Speaker 2: She's at home in California with her husband, Prince Harry,
Speaker 2: their children, Aren't you in the Lily bat? But the
Speaker 2: former working royal received no well wishes from the royal family,
Speaker 2: so she took matters into her own hands. So she
Speaker 2: has put a gushing post from her own as Ever
Speaker 2: lifestyle brand. She's got a black and white photo there,
Speaker 2: she's smiling, and she's captioned it celebrating the woman behind
Speaker 2: it all. She pours her heart, vision and magic touch
Speaker 2: into every detail, and today we raise a glass to
Speaker 2: her Happy birthday to our founder at Megan Market.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Just at least she's consistent, I know.
Speaker 3: But everyone's aware of it now though, aren't that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, but don't you leave it to your partner.
Speaker 2: Don't you to pay tribute to you and your birthday
Speaker 2: necessarily Patriot.
Speaker 3: The Prince?
Speaker 2: Where is prince?
Speaker 3: Where it's the Prince? You should bob up and getting
Speaker 3: getting around her.
Speaker 2: It's interesting that no one from the Royal family has
Speaker 2: wished her happy birthday too. You know, it's three years
Speaker 2: ago that they sort of separated, they divorced the Royal family.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine? I'd love to be a fly on
Speaker 3: the wall in the conversations in Buckingham Palace about Meghan
Speaker 3: Markle very goodness, oh.
Speaker 2: Man, and I just like you sort of feel sorry
Speaker 2: for any princess effa who comes after Diana because she
Speaker 2: was so much, so very much love, wasn't she.
Speaker 3: What I will say is, James, I still have got
Speaker 3: no time for Meghan Markle yet yet yet if my
Speaker 3: business hasn't gotten traction yet, no one's picked up my
Speaker 3: book proposal yet. Who's that girl she does the podcast for?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the Jamie Lena Podcast or something ridiculous. Have
Speaker 2: you if there's a parody to do yourself a favorite,
Speaker 2: jump onto Instagram today and check out the parody of it.
Speaker 2: It's a guy who plays both Jamie Jamie Lena Kernel
Speaker 2: or something new stupid names anyway, and she plays her
Speaker 2: and also Megan Markle at the same time. Have listened
Speaker 2: to this, Meggan, you HAVENI working so ha.
Speaker 6: I don't have to do anything. I just have to
Speaker 6: be My team will handle the rest. I was telling
Speaker 6: h the other day over breakfast in Montecito, Archie was
Speaker 6: trying to zip up his jacket and he was getting
Speaker 6: so frustrated. I looked at him and I said, you
Speaker 6: can't zip it up yet, And I bet he felt
Speaker 6: such fulfillment when he finally zipped it up right. Well,
Speaker 6: zip actually turned out to be broken, but the lesson
Speaker 6: was there.
Speaker 2: Wow, she's like, do you think the stars have a
Speaker 2: line because we're in the podcast together. Oh, Megan, You're
Speaker 2: the gift that keeps on giving.
Speaker 3: Jen Zetters are completely reshaping what it means to go
Speaker 3: to a rave. Joe's what do you mean. They're going
Speaker 3: to a thing called a soft rave, which is a
Speaker 3: very much alternative version towards perhaps previous generations thought was
Speaker 3: a rave. Okay, remember when you come home from a
Speaker 3: rave back in the day and you're like, oh gosh,
Speaker 3: what day is it, where's my phone, where's my where's
Speaker 3: my bloody jaw? No, not that last one, not that
Speaker 3: last one. It's completely changed. Soft raves are a thing.
Speaker 3: So instead of going to dance clubs, gen Zettas are
Speaker 3: going to places like bakeries, supermarkets, cafes, listening to music
Speaker 3: and turning that into a rave. Instead of consuming alcohol,
Speaker 3: they consume things like lat'es. It's it's a new generation.
Speaker 2: But if you're going down to the bakery for a
Speaker 2: Lavington and a late you can't call that a rave. Well,
Speaker 2: that's offensive to every generation that's come for them.
Speaker 3: What if further DJ spins this absolute bangosaurus, double shop babies,
Speaker 3: double espresso, So here's the thing, and this is where
Speaker 3: you've got to go. Well, guess what, Maybe it's a
Speaker 3: smart generation.
Speaker 2: They are.
Speaker 3: There's no question they're consuming about one third less beer
Speaker 3: and wine than previous generations, and they're also shifting toward
Speaker 3: alcohol free beverages at a significantly higher rate. One gen
Speaker 3: Za has responded to the outcry, the outpouring of like,
Speaker 3: what the hell in this particular movement, I've seen quiet
Speaker 3: luxury match of rituals and soft rays art signs of
Speaker 3: being boring. They're signs of a generation refusing to burn
Speaker 3: out for someone else's idea of fun. Yeah it's intelligent.
Speaker 2: Look I don't, I don't I like that the younger
Speaker 2: generation are drinking less because, like honest, alcohol is no
Speaker 2: one's friend. But but but just don't label it a ray.
Speaker 3: Yeah you know, but also but also also remember you're
Speaker 3: already ready no doubt what. You can't get that with
Speaker 3: a skim cat with one, can't you?
Speaker 2: This guy doesn't need an introduction, but it does give
Speaker 2: us an opportunity to la is absolute tune.
Speaker 4: You're beautiful.
Speaker 2: It's true, you won't believe it, But that song is
Speaker 2: twenty years old and artist James Blunt is coming to
Speaker 2: Australia to celebrate the milestone. He'll be playing in Adelaide
Speaker 2: in October his original hits from the Back to Bedlam
Speaker 2: album as well as Beloved. He is from across He's
Speaker 2: still an international career. Please make welcome miss Peace.
Speaker 3: James Black, thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 2: Yes, woo, where are you?
Speaker 3: What are you doing?
Speaker 4: Maybe nice to see lady, lady, Good to see you too.
Speaker 4: I mean at the moment.
Speaker 1: I mean I just finished a tour of North and
Speaker 1: South America.
Speaker 2: Okay, So is that your home base?
Speaker 4: That is?
Speaker 1: I mean I move around a lot, obviously, just with music.
Speaker 1: So I spent a bit of time in Swisserland in
Speaker 1: the winter in the mountains and out here in the summer,
Speaker 1: and that'll do.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not the worst life style, is it, James,
Speaker 2: Be honest, It's a living.
Speaker 3: It's a living.
Speaker 4: I mean, it is worth saying.
Speaker 1: The rest of the time I'm going to tour bus
Speaker 1: sleeping with sixteen hairy, very smelly men in of coffin
Speaker 1: sized bunks.
Speaker 4: Than what on earth am I doing? So you need
Speaker 4: somewhere to come at home? Thing that's worthwhile?
Speaker 2: How do you go with touring and time away from
Speaker 2: your boys and your partner. How many months are you
Speaker 2: on the road and how tough is it for the kids,
Speaker 2: especially when dad's not home.
Speaker 4: I'm on the road as often as I can be,
Speaker 4: as long as I can be.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the person left behind just to look
Speaker 1: after the family.
Speaker 4: Absolutely. My wife is the staff and doing so allow
Speaker 4: me to do what I do. I'm very lucky in
Speaker 4: a way.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Kids also kids, they're just living their lives, having an
Speaker 1: amazing time. You know, emotionally, I miss them a great deal.
Speaker 1: I live at an amazing way of life. It's a
Speaker 1: great fun job. I've been doing it for twenty years
Speaker 1: and I have an absolute blast.
Speaker 2: Well, my good friend Andrew Hayes, he attempted to do
Speaker 2: what you're doing, and that's become a rock star. So
Speaker 2: he used to do pub gigs on Sunday afternoons at
Speaker 2: a beautiful pub called the Lion here in Adelaide, which
Speaker 2: you have to come and visit when you come to
Speaker 2: see us. But you've very, very poorly attempted to cover
Speaker 2: some James Plant songs. Didn't tell James all about that
Speaker 2: jasement when.
Speaker 3: You burst onto the saying it was. It was this
Speaker 3: different sound. It was so different, and everyone's like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, this is unbelievable. And we've been told as
Speaker 3: young gentlemen that a good way to meet girls and
Speaker 3: potentially find a life partner is to sing and play
Speaker 3: the guitar. And when you're beautiful came out. I'm guessing
Speaker 3: it's worked very very well for you. But when other
Speaker 3: people try and cover your beautiful, it's just you realize
Speaker 3: the difficulty in the vocals and everything else. And for
Speaker 3: whatever reason, was it the false set of It was
Speaker 3: the false seto. It was a consistent false setter. And
Speaker 3: for some reason, when you do it, it attracts ladies,
Speaker 3: but when we were doing it acted as a repellent.
Speaker 3: So I don't really think I can't explain that, but
Speaker 3: thank you for giving us the opportunity. I can.
Speaker 4: I can explain it to you.
Speaker 1: There's a you know, there's a fairly obvious reason, which
Speaker 1: is hazy.
Speaker 4: My bolls still haven't dropped, and so and so I
Speaker 4: sing like you like.
Speaker 1: A strangled rabbit, whereas you are a man, and therefore
Speaker 1: you're just you know, trying for the impossible at that
Speaker 1: stage will cover something else?
Speaker 3: Can you say that to the girls that were running
Speaker 3: the other way, and I'll try to see the beautiful please.
Speaker 2: Go James, James, you could revert to your expector roots
Speaker 2: here and make him sing it so no attempt it.
Speaker 2: That would make my love.
Speaker 3: No do that, Oh my very goodness. Hey, just just
Speaker 3: on that as well as moved on quick. I had
Speaker 3: to move on really really quick. Just the Back to
Speaker 3: Bedlam album. It's twenty years old. Oh my very good
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem that long ago.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I know.
Speaker 1: And so what I'm doing is twenty years on. That's
Speaker 1: the album of mine that really sold especially well. And
Speaker 1: so what I'm doing now is milking it for all
Speaker 1: it's worth twenty years when I'm still milking that album
Speaker 1: on the twenty Back to Bedlam tour coming down to
Speaker 1: Adelaide in October.
Speaker 3: Mate another artist who's coming to us. And that's the thing.
Speaker 3: So sometimes we get skipped when the big artists they
Speaker 3: go to Sydney, Melbourne and maybe Brisbane. That's it. A
Speaker 3: good friend of yours is come to say this as well,
Speaker 3: and that is the beautiful Edgeeron yea. So we are
Speaker 3: in love with you or in love with Edge Hearon
Speaker 3: and so we believe you've got a really beautiful relationship
Speaker 3: with you.
Speaker 2: And can I say he's the godfather of your children?
Speaker 2: What a flex for your kids just to be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: who's your god dad? Edge here?
Speaker 3: And sure.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, let me talk about Adelaide. You know,
Speaker 1: the reason I come to Adelaide is because not many
Speaker 1: other people do. And so people that Adelaide's just thrilled
Speaker 1: to see me, not because of me, but just they're
Speaker 1: thrilled to see anyone.
Speaker 4: And I'll take that.
Speaker 1: Ed Ed, I don't know why he's just I don't
Speaker 1: know why he's coming down, but he's an amazing guy.
Speaker 1: He's a fantastic, fantastic musician. And I was lucky enough
Speaker 1: to play with him at the Ipswich Football Stadium and
Speaker 1: he lent me his audience for a moment. It's just
Speaker 1: a very down to earth a man with it too.
Speaker 1: He's a very very decent human being.
Speaker 2: James Man, can you stick around? Because when I was
Speaker 2: preparing for this interview, I realized that I interviewed you
Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen, which is ten years ago, so it's
Speaker 2: our anniversary, Happy anniversary, baby, So I thought, what can
Speaker 2: I ask him, now that.
Speaker 4: You have a recording, you had a recording of it?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'd have to look back into the
Speaker 2: archives for that one. I do know that Danny Minogua's.
Speaker 4: On the recording. Did you I listened to before I
Speaker 4: go to back?
Speaker 2: It's a good that's stunning. Can you stick around because
Speaker 2: I've turned to Jack gp t for a couple of
Speaker 2: questions for you, and I've got up with some doozies.
Speaker 2: This guy doesn't need an introduction, but it does give
Speaker 2: us an opportunity to play this absolute tune.
Speaker 4: You are Beautiful. Its true.
Speaker 2: You won't believe it, but that song is twenty years
Speaker 2: old and artist James Blund is coming to Australia to
Speaker 2: celebrate the milestone. He'll be playing in Adelaide in October
Speaker 2: his original hits from the Back to Bedlam album as
Speaker 2: well as beloved he is from across his stellar international career.
Speaker 2: Please make welcome Miss Peace. As of course we are
Speaker 2: joined by the King of the Twitter clapback. Actually, James
Speaker 2: Blunt is joining us on the show. He is coming
Speaker 2: down to Australia to the Adelaide Entertainment Center Tuesday, twenty
Speaker 2: eighth of October Ticket sept ticketec and we can't wait
Speaker 2: to see him again. James, I mentioned that I've interviewed
Speaker 2: you ten years ago and I thought i'd come up
Speaker 2: with some new material. Time has changed and chat gpt
Speaker 2: is my best friend now. So do you want to
Speaker 2: know the best that chat gpt has to offer when
Speaker 2: you punch in? What do I ask, James Blunt? You
Speaker 2: ready for this? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Good for it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I have to say I've used chat occasionally
Speaker 1: when I've tried to write new songs, you know, And
Speaker 1: I was saying, you know, write a second class in
Speaker 1: the style of James Blunt, and it's always just writing.
Speaker 1: It just rhymes high with sky and bye like, and
Speaker 1: then I humiliated that it realizes that I'm just a
Speaker 1: really terrible songwriter.
Speaker 4: But you know, let's see what chat Gibt comes up with.
Speaker 2: Chatjept wants to ask you when you released your Beautiful
Speaker 2: did you realize you'd just written the world's most sung
Speaker 2: karaoke song at two am in pubs across the globe.
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't know that. Even to this day, I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. I mean I knew, I knew it
Speaker 1: was a excelent song. I never knew it was going
Speaker 1: to be the mega hit that it was was. We
Speaker 1: As I finished it, the guy was helping record it
Speaker 1: turn around and said, you know, well done.
Speaker 4: That's that's that's gonna that's a biggie.
Speaker 2: That is so very British. Well done.
Speaker 3: It's a bit more than a biggie. I've got one
Speaker 3: for you, Jibs. So Via, what's the most rockstar thing
Speaker 3: you've ever done that you've never let your kids know about?
Speaker 4: I mean, you know tough.
Speaker 1: I mean genuinely a fair few things, but I probably
Speaker 1: can't see them on a radio show.
Speaker 4: You know, I live in a Betha.
Speaker 1: It's a pretty wild I mean I went nightclubbing at
Speaker 1: eight am just last weekend because the club's at eleven
Speaker 1: pm and they go to on mid day, so I said.
Speaker 4: You know, I get up at eight am and go clubbing.
Speaker 1: Then I only took took from Thailand as we were
Speaker 1: in Thailand on tour that I went in a tuktook,
Speaker 1: stepped off it, took a photo and said to my
Speaker 1: tour manager, I'll have two of these please. And I
Speaker 1: do my school run a tie took every day. But
Speaker 1: the other things probably can't really be.
Speaker 3: Mentioned another thing I want to ask you about as well,
Speaker 3: and looked this was so long ago, but you did
Speaker 3: a cover of Crowded House fall at your Feet, Yes,
Speaker 3: and this this was like, geez, you did Crowded House?
Speaker 3: Think you? Because I feel like there was a whole
Speaker 3: new generation. What's going on here? This is amazing that
Speaker 3: maybe started to listening to Crowdy House a little bit more, mate.
Speaker 3: This was a song that in my youth I got
Speaker 3: obsessed with and to be honest, thinking about it now
Speaker 3: and looking back, you probably helped me through a few things.
Speaker 3: It's absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Actually, Full of your Feet was our song for my
Speaker 1: first five girlfriends.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 1: It was I'm going to love that album and it's
Speaker 1: an epic song and an epic band.
Speaker 2: Well, it's probably one of the I think when you
Speaker 2: think about iconic Australian songs, it's probably up there in
Speaker 2: the top ten at least, isn't it. It's just such
Speaker 2: a beautiful song and you did a gorgeous version of it.
Speaker 2: Is there anyone you want to collaborate with? Is there
Speaker 2: anyone besides it? Sharon? Is there anyone on the bucket
Speaker 2: list that you would love love to do a song
Speaker 2: with Taylor Swift.
Speaker 4: If you're listening, now's a chance to call me.
Speaker 3: She does listen to regularly too. Yeah, expect the call.
Speaker 2: We have a quiz at nine to fifteen every morning.
Speaker 2: Taylor regularly calls in. It's quite as sounding. Actually, she's
Speaker 2: a bit of a prize.
Speaker 3: She's a speaking Yes.
Speaker 2: Oh, James Bond, thank you so much for your time
Speaker 2: this morning. We cannot wait to see you down under again.
Speaker 2: You must love it down here. You were here last year.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 1: I've got so many friends down there from so many
Speaker 1: previous trips. You know, you live in an amazing, fantastic
Speaker 1: country and you're a fun bunch of people. And please
Speaker 1: invite me down there off and I love coming and
Speaker 1: seeing you.
Speaker 2: Well, You're welcome anytime. We can't wait to see James Bunt.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time. We appreciate you.
Speaker 4: Heykay, guys see in October.
Speaker 1: I need to know.
Speaker 4: I need to know now, I need to know. I
Speaker 4: need to know. I need to know what news today
Speaker 4: to know.
Speaker 3: This is what you need to know. What you need
Speaker 3: to know with Jody and Asy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a bit of breaking news this morning. Personal
Speaker 2: mobile phone devices, I e. A childcare workers personal phone
Speaker 2: will be banned in a move the state government says
Speaker 2: will strengthen safety and better protect young children across the state.
Speaker 2: So the South Australian and Victorian governments are going to
Speaker 2: be the first ones to do this, hazy. They'll adopt
Speaker 2: this new national model. And if you don't adhere, if
Speaker 2: a childcare worker is found with a mobile phone whilst
Speaker 2: at work, it could be a fifty thousand dollars fine
Speaker 2: look out. So they are quite serious about it.
Speaker 3: A good thing. This makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: This is obviously on the back of the Hena situation
Speaker 2: that has played out in Victoria of lates anything to
Speaker 2: protect the kids, great.
Speaker 3: Yep, spot on. Let's talk about us flying, particularly domestically.
Speaker 3: There's a new player town.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kawhile Airlines are readying for takeoff in a very
Speaker 2: tough market that is obviously dominated by Quantus in virgin
Speaker 2: So they plan to launch in late twenty twenty six,
Speaker 2: entering a domestic market dominated by those two big players.
Speaker 2: But they're not going to just compete on price alone.
Speaker 2: So it's going to be a case with we will
Speaker 2: go to the places that other people don't regularly go to.
Speaker 2: Hopefully they'll fly direct from Adelaide to Hobart. That'd be nice,
Speaker 2: Is that the plan?
Speaker 3: I think there is a direct flight to Hobart, isn't it.
Speaker 4: Nope?
Speaker 2: Melbourne really true story?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought there was.
Speaker 2: I've got friends and family down there. Man.
Speaker 3: Okay, what about some of the other places that we
Speaker 3: don't get to as nice that we like to, like,
Speaker 3: you know, Bendigolquin. There's not a direct flight Wogger as well.
Speaker 3: You have to go to Sydney then back to Walker.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So hopefully if they do come in, it'll alleviate
Speaker 2: a situation that we've had in the last week or
Speaker 2: so where the price hiking, the price gouging has gone
Speaker 2: on for the AFIL Grand Final weekend where flights from
Speaker 2: Adelaide and Melbourne went to like one thousand bucks one way.
Speaker 3: How can that be? How can they be legal? Like
Speaker 3: it just doesn't seem right, does it.
Speaker 2: It's not. It just feels like no one's enforcing the
Speaker 2: law when it comes to airlines.
Speaker 3: So anyway, right, I wonder when Koala turns up if
Speaker 3: he gets bullied by the other planes at the airport.
Speaker 3: Conti in version just tearing up and like, oh, look
Speaker 3: at this absolute clown.
Speaker 2: I'm just looking at the logo. It's it's yes, a
Speaker 2: couple of koalas hanging out on the tail. They're not
Speaker 2: coming in hot and really aggressively, are they.
Speaker 3: Nah, that's true in saying that no one ever called
Speaker 3: themselves tough calling themself a virgin as well, so that's
Speaker 3: probably something to think about.
Speaker 2: Well, Hazy. A big day yesterday when James Vlasakas was
Speaker 2: granted parole after serving twenty sixty years behind bars for
Speaker 2: his role in the Bodies in the Barrel case. Chief
Speaker 2: court reporter from The Advertiser Sean Fuster joins us now
Speaker 2: just to drill down on this because he will become
Speaker 2: now the only known paroled serial killer in the world.
Speaker 2: Just extraordinary precedents set right here in South Australia, isn't it?
Speaker 4: It is?
Speaker 7: Jody And look, I wrote a book many years ago
Speaker 7: called City of Evil, which was about dispelling the myth
Speaker 7: that the Bodies in the Barrels case had created, which
Speaker 7: was that South Australia was the murder capital of the country.
Speaker 7: We've spent years fighting against that. It was so prevalent
Speaker 7: that it even turned up on the Dexter TV show,
Speaker 7: they referenced it. But we can't walk away from this
Speaker 7: one because, as far as the research shows, we are
Speaker 7: the only city, the only state in the world that
Speaker 7: is prepared to parole a serial killer.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's we're not claiming it in terms
Speaker 3: of something that we're going to brag about before we
Speaker 3: get the nuts and bolts of it, Sewan, Can you
Speaker 3: just define what a serial killer actually is?
Speaker 7: Sure? So, the definition varies slightly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction
Speaker 7: around the world, but what most forensic experts and law
Speaker 7: enforcement agencies agree on is that it's a person who
Speaker 7: commits at least two, if not three, or more murders
Speaker 7: over a period of at least a month, if not longer,
Speaker 7: with cool down periods in between. So it's not someone
Speaker 7: that commits a crime of passion and kills three people
Speaker 7: in one hit. That's a mass killer. It's someone who kills, pauses,
Speaker 7: kills again, pauses, and continues in that pattern.
Speaker 3: So then straight away, when by the definition, you sit
Speaker 3: there and be like, how can someone like that get
Speaker 3: prole Do you know what I mean? Like, when someone
Speaker 3: went so calculated, they've had time to think about what
Speaker 3: they've done and they've done again anyway.
Speaker 7: And I think part of the reason for it is
Speaker 7: our parole system and the KPIs, if you will, for
Speaker 7: how we determine someone is remorseful and contrite for their
Speaker 7: actions and has insight into their actions has never been
Speaker 7: tested against a serial killer. I mean, it's never happened
Speaker 7: anywhere in the world. Nobody's had to sit down and think, Well,
Speaker 7: if you've committed a crime like this, what's the level
Speaker 7: of penitence you have to show to qualify as being rehabilitated.
Speaker 7: What's the level of remorse you have to show to
Speaker 7: truly convince us that you're ready to go back into society.
Speaker 2: What was his role in these murders? He was groomed,
Speaker 2: was he not?
Speaker 7: He was groomed? On his account of things. What we've
Speaker 7: always got to remember when it comes to Lasarcus is
Speaker 7: that by pleading guilty and turning state's evidence, he made
Speaker 7: sure that Bunting and Wagner got convicted. That's John Justin
Speaker 7: Bunting and Robert Joe Wagner. But we only ever heard
Speaker 7: his version of events, a version of events that is
Speaker 7: favorable to him, and in the version that we heard.
Speaker 7: He was groomed, he was manipulated, he was afraid for
Speaker 7: his own life. He feared that he would be the
Speaker 7: next victim if he didn't participate. But then you've got
Speaker 7: to wagh that up against the fact that the only
Speaker 7: victim who was killed at Snowtown, which is why some
Speaker 7: people erroneously call it the Snowtown, was lured there by Lesarkus.
Speaker 7: He drove him from Adelaide to Snowtown with the promise
Speaker 7: of a new computer.
Speaker 2: Wow, unbelievable.
Speaker 3: That's trust that.
Speaker 2: Obviously he will be released, but with some fairly strict
Speaker 2: parole conditions. What will they be?
Speaker 7: So the sorts of conditions that you see in these
Speaker 7: sort of matters are things like a total ban on
Speaker 7: approaching the victims and their families, total ban on speaking
Speaker 7: with the media, exclusion zones where they can and cannot
Speaker 7: go so that the victims aren't going to run into
Speaker 7: him by accident, a total ban on alcohol, total ban
Speaker 7: on taking any non prescription drugs. Sometimes there's things like curfews,
Speaker 7: Sometimes there's things like work restrictions. But all of this
Speaker 7: has to be considered under the fact that we don't know,
Speaker 7: and we'll never know what James Losarkus looks like. The
Speaker 7: suppression order that was put down on his identity all
Speaker 7: the way back when the trial started is still in
Speaker 7: force to this day, so nobody can see his face
Speaker 7: and see what he looks like. Any photos that exist
Speaker 7: out there on the internet may or may not be correct.
Speaker 7: So you have this person who will probably spend about
Speaker 7: twelve months in the pre release center before they start
Speaker 7: coming into the community, absolutely having anonymity within that community.
Speaker 2: He wants to work. Who's employing him?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 7: He Francis Nelson, the head of the Broke Board, said
Speaker 7: that he's aware of the Sarkas. That is, he's aware
Speaker 7: of the fact that that's going to be a massive challenge.
Speaker 7: I wonder whether he will be operating under his real
Speaker 7: name or whether he'll be operating under some kind of
Speaker 7: assumed name, because you've got to think the moment that
Speaker 7: somebody says, my name is James Lasarkus, technically that's a
Speaker 7: breach of the suppression order. I mean, can he be
Speaker 7: done for breaching his own suppression order? For the rest
Speaker 7: of us it's a two hundred thousand dollar fine. Are
Speaker 7: they going to find James Lasarkus for using his own name.
Speaker 2: Well, if anyone can find that out, I'm sure it's you,
Speaker 2: Sean Fuston. I would back you in any each other week,
Speaker 2: one more quick question before we go. The Police Commissioner
Speaker 2: Grant Stevens can appeal within sixty days.
Speaker 7: That's right, so can the Attorney General, so can the
Speaker 7: Commissioner for Victims' Rights. But in another interesting quirk of
Speaker 7: South Australian law, they're not allowed to say if they
Speaker 7: are doing it. They're prohibited by law from announcing publicly
Speaker 7: whether they're going to do this. So if it does happen,
Speaker 7: if this secret series or killer who we're not allowed
Speaker 7: to see has his parole challenged, it's going to be
Speaker 7: done in.
Speaker 2: Secret, behind closed doors. Well, we do things just a
Speaker 2: little bit differently here in South Australia.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Sean, before we let you go, can
Speaker 3: you please tell us space podcast. This stuff is so fascinating.
Speaker 7: So every week on the Nova app you can download
Speaker 7: Just Lawful. We're in our fifth season. We've run won
Speaker 7: a bunch of journalism awards for it. Myself and my
Speaker 7: co host Daniel Ponozzo take cases that I've covered over
Speaker 7: my twenty five years as a court reporter and we
Speaker 7: break them down. We talk to the survivors and the
Speaker 7: victims especially and talk about what their experiences are as
Speaker 7: they get involved with the criminal justice system that they
Speaker 7: never asked to be involved with in the first place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you are an extraordinary journalist, There's no question about that.
Speaker 2: And the sheer volume of times I've walked out of
Speaker 2: court and gone Sean, what just happened? There's extraordinary and
Speaker 2: he explains it very kindly to me every single time. Sean,
Speaker 2: thank you so much for coming and breaking that down for.
Speaker 7: Always a pleasure. Thanks guys, thank you
