34:31 Голос 1 and coach at the highest level. Matt King says he's ready for a rollercoaster ride after being named the new coach of the Blues State of Origin team. King, who's been an assistant coach since 2024, takes over from Laurie Daly, who's stepped down. He says his heart belongs to his state.

34:49 Голос 5 The one true rugby league love of my life has been the NSW Blues. To know now that I have the opportunity to guide the team moving forward, to lead the program over the next little period, as I mentioned, means the absolute world to me.

35:03 Голос 1 A triple boost for the Rabbitohs ahead of their NRL clash with the Eels this weekend. Captain Cameron Murray and Talis Duncan will return from injury while David Fafita is back from suspension. Broncos NRLW veteran Ali Brickenshaw has been handed a three-match ban. The judiciary found her guilty of a Grade 3 dangerous throw against Bulldog Taylor Preston. The Wallabies are determined to open the Les Kiss era with a win over Japan on Saturday. Australia have never lost to the Brave Blossoms but had an almighty scare in their last game, eventually winning 19-15. Hooker Josh Nasser says no-one underestimates Japan.

35:45 Голос 1 We're never taking any team easy.

35:46 Голос 5 They're a quality side. They beat Italy not too long ago,

35:50 Голос 2 so, yeah, we're not taking them lightly. Don't worry about that.

35:53 Голос 1 Australia's Test squad has already been hit by injury with Josh Inglis struck down with a back spasm. Former opener Usman Khawaja says the top order is well settled to handle the busy 12 months ahead. Someone like Smithy's still there. Hedy's been playing great. Manus is a world-class player. The bowling attack's great.

36:13 Голос 5 I expect the guys to do really well.

36:21 I think we'll see the best of Australia.

36:22 Голос 1 In tennis, James Darkworth has defeated fellow Aussie Chris O'Connell in straight sets in the first round of the Canada Open. And Sydney King star Xavier Cooks has served a suspension after failing a drug test, his second ban, in 12 months. This year's Air Sport Australia.

38:15 Голос 5 they're still continuing in the mountains as well we've got chains between kinder and sawyers hill on the snow mountains highway today up around sort of all the cascades the bottles the usual areas you'll find star in this time we got a little bit about which is good news on the mountains um a bit more rain too it's dicing nearly nearly eight mils in batlow town varies around anywhere from one to around eight mils batlow so we've got the higher reading there around Bathlow and Laurel Hill this morning. Where it's currently, what have we got there? It's around about 3 or 4 degrees. Getting warmer, about 7 degrees down into the southwest. Gun to go out through the southwest slopes. 6 degrees, nearly 7 through the Upper Murray. We've got minus 0.5 of a degree in the mountains. Talking of the mountains, the snow forecasters are looking at a few centimetres each day, 9 or so centimetres across the resorts possible for the next 24 hours or so, and the same for the next three days. But the seven-day forecast, as you know, it's going to rain. There's going to be a fair bit of rain on Sunday, as it always does, and that will turn to snow. And some predictions, looking at the charts, we could see Falls Creek 104 centimetres. Some predictions, Selwyn around 60, Charlotte Pass around 70 or more. There could be Mount Baw Baw around 30 or so down the lower levels. Perisher, an extra 70 centimetres.

39:37 So if that comes true with the forecasts, there's going to be some absolutely excellent snow around the resorts next weekend, not this coming weekend, but there is now, but even more, even better conditions as we get into the middle of August. So that's good news. Let's hope that big seven-day forecast rings true on those snow forecasts. Can you imagine how busy it was last week? The Perisher car park filled up by 8 o'clock last weekend, so we'll see what the following weekend does for that one. Keep an eye on that forecast there. That's the big one, the seven-day forecast there, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday next week. 21 to 8 after the break. Ben joins us.

41:18 Голос 5 Today is the 5th of August. On This Day in 1975, guitarist Joan Jett and drummer Sandy West formed the first all-female rock band, The Runaways. During their career, the group released four studio albums and toured the US with Van Halen, Talking Heads and Cheap Trick, among others. Some of their most notable releases include Queens of Noise, a cover of the Velvet Underground's Rock and Roll, and of course, Cherry Bomb. On this day in 2022, Australian singer with The Seekers, Judith Durham, passed away at the age of 79. It was 1965. The Beatles were at number one on the UK singles chart with Help. The group's eighth consecutive UK number one single. John Lennon later stated he wrote the lyrics to the song to express his stress after the Beatles' quick rise to success. A year later in 1966, the Beatles released their seventh studio album, Revolver, in the UK. Days later, the album dropped in the US, where it eventually received a five-time platinum certification. Long considered to be one of the greatest albums in pop music, Revolver featured such diverse songs as Tomorrow Never Knows and Eleanor Rigby.

42:45 2021, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga played the second of two sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. It was Bennett's last ever performance. A week later, the 95-year-old singer, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2016, announced he was retiring from performing. Tony Bennett passed away on the 21st of July, 2023. 1978, the Rolling Stones went to number one on the US singles chart with Miss You, the group's eighth US number one. The song was written by Mick Jagger after jamming with keyboardist Billy Preston during rehearsals for forthcoming club dates the Stones were playing. And born on this day in 1947, Australian rock singer Angry Anderson. He first came to fame in the 70s as lead vocalist for the band Rose Tattoo. In 1987, Angry had a number one hit with his solo release, Lease suddenly, it was featured as a wedding song in long-running TV series Neighbours. In 1990, he had another top ten hit with Bound for Glory and that is On This Day for the 5th of August.
