2:03
Speaker 5: Parsnip wine? It's very nice, very sweet, like me. Do

2:10

were sitting in? Anyway, No, I'm working. It's not the
2:16
House of Commons.
2:18
Speaker 5: I made it myself after I tasted some in White Locks,
2:21
a pub that's older than America.
2:24
Speaker 3: Live but krusty universe. It's the Mike DJ Kelly Shorter
2:28
than Short podcast.
2:29
Speaker 4: Don't start talking to me about pubs. I keep having
2:33
bad recollections and nightmares about the days when I worked
2:37
in the patio bar and punters would ask for the
2:40
smith's playing and every time I put it on, the
2:43
whole pub would end up joining in with singing the chorus,
2:47
hang the DJ and what's out there on those social
2:55
media sites that's so Lucinda, Oh my god today is

3:38
have decided to acts winter Watch now, following the cult
3:42

3:47
but there's a petition to sign if you're so inclined.
3:51
Mickey thee eight. The government must stop SKYE from buying
3:55
ITV to protect our TV choice. This merger gives there's
4:00
one giant company too much control over the UK news
4:04
and adverts. The government needs to step in block the
4:08
deal and launch a public consultation. This lets regular people
4:13
and TV creators have saved. Regulators must protect the public,
4:19
not the corporate profits. Call nineteen sixty the world has
4:24
gone mad. In my sixty six years on this planet,
4:28
I haven't seen such blatant lies, manipulation, corruption and incompetence
4:34
on many fronts. Trump and Nettan Yahoo should be in prison,
4:39
Farage and Johnson should be two Starmer was clearly removed
4:43
by Coop. The World Cup has been compromised and ordinary
4:47
people across the globe are being turned against each other
4:51
by a group of billionaires who will bring in AI
4:55
that will steal jobs and render people useless. Why are
5:00
people more angry?
5:02
Speaker 2: Burly?
5:03
Speaker 4: Happy two hundred and fiftieth birthday to our friends across
5:07
a pond. Here is a picture of one of the
5:10
pubs in Leeds where I live, Whitelocks built seventeen hundred

UK and localized food app David Beckham has taken up
5:37
beekeeping and is using his global platform to raise awareness
5:42
about declining bee populations. He's been documenting his beekeeping journey
5:48
and on World b Day twenty twenty five, urged his
5:51
millions of followers to protect the bees. Bee populations are
5:56
declining globally due to pesticide use, habitat loss, and climate change.
6:02
Now there's a thing. Where are the bees this year?
6:06
Even the local weatherman was saying he's not seen any
6:09
Plus there's lots of people on social media saying it's
6:13
the new AI data centers that have killed them all off.
6:17
Will we ever find out?
6:19
Speaker 1: This short podcast Mike Kelly, a lot.
6:21
Speaker 4: Of plants need the help of bees, but not the
6:24
Dyson's mechanical strawberry farm in Lincolnshire. Yes, always British all
6:30
year round. We're redefining British strawberries through the use of
6:35
cutting edge technology and sustainable practices. Premium fruit all year
6:41
round so you can enjoy the taste of summer outside
6:45
of the traditional growing season. Indeed, British, unlike the vacuum cleaners,
6:51
these are not just strawberries. These are AI powered British strawberries.
6:58
Innovation is woven into every part of the glasshouse. Utilizing
7:03
AI powered decision support software, smart sensors, and robotic harvesters,
7:10
we can optimize growing conditions and improve efficiency as it's automated.
7:16
Are these fine strawberries? Any cheaper? No dye? Some farming
7:21
British strawberries typically cause four pound thirty for a two
7:25
hundred and fifty grand punnet at retailers like Acada and Sainsbury's.
7:31
This represents a premium of roughly one pound to one
7:35
pound thirty compared to standard or imported strawberries, which usually
7:40
cost around three pounds to three pound thirty for the
7:43
same weights.
7:45
Speaker 5: Extravagant posh strawberries. I like the sound of that with
7:48
some clotted cream.
7:50
Speaker 4: Anything posh and expensive and you're in the there.
7:53
Speaker 5: Yes, I even get Mazie posh cat food. Now. Robbie
7:57
Williams advertises Felix cat food.
8:00
Speaker 4: Adverts that Viking advert saying they use small ships with
8:05
no kids and no casinos. They don't look very small
8:08
to me. They look like a tower block floating around.
8:16
Not mentioned radio for a while, so let's give it
8:19
a go now. I like fun good radio. I like
8:25
des Paul and his Rhythm of the Night Every Friday
8:28
and Saturday on Greatest Hits Radio. I like Bill Bingham
8:32
and Les Ross on Boom. I like whoe Is weekend
8:36
shows on Vergin. But what I don't like are computer
8:40
generated shows with the same things features spots happening at
8:45
the same time every day. Back in the day, shows
8:48
would start with a piece of paper and ideas what
8:52
to do in the show, not just print out the
8:54
template and rework it. Adverts are still a problem to me,
8:59
especially one's read out by presenters as if it's a
9:03
personal recommendation, yet all the presenters say the same words.
9:08
Gambling and medical adverts make me retune. A recent new
9:12
edition is pure cremation. Adverts on the radio several times
9:17
an hour. I already turn the TV off when they
9:20
come on. Now I retune the radio. I know you're saying,
9:24
why not listen to the ad three BBC? Well, I try,
9:30
but I find the program so bad I cannot listen.
9:34
I did listen on my way to work during the
9:36
last Bank holiday weekend and Gabby Rosalin was on with
9:40
some Make a Difference Achievements Awards. It was awful in
9:45
every way, and not only that it was going out
9:49
nationally on local radio to make matters worse. On my
9:53
way home. Eight hours later, the same program seem to
9:56
be going out again.
9:58
Speaker 1: This is the short short podcast with Mike Kelly.
10:00
Speaker 4: Final Figure on radio, and it's more a thing that
10:03
puzzles me. How do we do this? My friend a
10:06
proper top radio DJ who shall remain nameless, who's great
10:11
on radio and great on his substack podcast, But how
10:16
does he do it on the radio? He's all polite
10:19
and correct, but on his podcast there's lots of swear words,
10:23
not wrong or inappropriate. But how does he do it?
10:27
One day talking without swear words, next time talking with
10:31
swear words? How can you switch between these two modes
10:35
so easily? Hello, it's Rupert Murdoch here. Probably shouldn't be
10:43
poking my nose in here, but I see. We have
10:46
a program on ITV called The Chase around the World
10:50
with Bradley Walsh and the Chasers jetting off around the world.
10:55
Who commissioned this annual jolly for the show's team that
11:00
are our family own ITV? I want to know how
11:04
much it costs for Bradley and the Chasers and all
11:08
the contestants to be gallivanting around the globe and then
11:13
there's one hundred thousand pounds prize. How are we going
11:16
to make money out of it? While you're here? Bring
11:20
me antondex contracts. Let's see how much they're on.
11:27
Speaker 5: Now that it's nice and sunny. What we need is
11:30
a nice fun thing to do.
11:32
Speaker 4: A lass, something like brass Robin No.
11:35
Speaker 5: I was thinking something a little more exciting, like do
11:38
you remember our dancing town where choreographer Steve Elia Scott Barnsley,
11:43
Hardersfield and skipt and dancing.
11:46
Speaker 4: And exactly who would do it and where you.
11:50
Speaker 5: Get our podcast listeners to come and join us for
11:53
a giant dancer phone. We could do it in that
11:56
big empty space at City Square. We could get Bobby
11:59
crushed on piano and ask Wayne's sleep to leave the
12:02
dancing with the.
12:04
Speaker 4: Mike Kelly short short podcast for you, a couple of
12:07
those odds and Bob's I tell you what annoys me.
12:11
You know, when you go into a pub an order
12:14
of food, you don't know if it's a big chain
12:16
operation and the food comes out of packets and is
12:20
cooked by an unskilled person on minimum wage or by
12:24
a qualified chef, they should have some sort of sign
12:27
on the door in the window on the menu to
12:30
let you know, googled to see if there is such
12:33
a logo. It appears a Mitchellin star is the only
12:37
one out there, so not many pubs are going to
12:40
be displaying one of those. You get signs showing they're
12:43
selling Illay and Lava's coffee. Why not signs to show
12:47
they have a qualified chef talking of which I'm having
12:52
steak and Mitchellin chef made dopen wild potatoes after this,
12:58
don't ask like we've yes. It's important to know what's
13:02
real and what's not. So with AI generated images, why
13:07
not some sort of obligatory logo in the corner so
13:11
everyone knows it is a fake. People can still make
13:14
funny images, but a small logo will not take away
13:18
the fun out of it. Suppose it's gone too far.
13:21
Even if the logo was there, we now have technology
13:25
to remove it, so pictures of topless grandmas and strange
13:29
cat videos will continue cool and on coffee. Starbucks suffered
13:38
a massive public relations crisis in South Korea. Whether the
13:43
AI assistant marketing campaign named tank Day for a new
13:50
Tumbler series coincided with the anniversary of the nineteen eighty
13:56
Guangju uprising, where military tanks were used to rush a
14:00
pro democracy movement. The disastrous promotion sparked a severe backlash,
14:07
leading to widespread boycotts, smashed merchandise, and government ministries cutting
14:13
ties with the coffee chain. And internal investigation revealed that
14:19
while an AI chat box helped generate the campaign's slogans,
14:24
the core of the failure was systematic human negligence. Executives
14:30
failed to conduct proper historical or cultural checks, and some
14:35
managers approved the materials without even opening the email attachments.
14:41
It's not just Starbucks. Ford A rehiring SAX staff after
14:46
they found AI couldn't do the job, and car sales
14:50
started to drop.
14:51
Speaker 1: Thet podcast by Key.
14:53
Speaker 4: Rip Humphrey Smith the unusual owner of the Samuel Smiths
14:58
Brewing and Publish. He has died aged eighty one. Established
15:03
by his family in seventeen fifty eight, Smith had run
15:07
the Samuel Smith Old Brewery since the nineteen eighties. The
15:12
firm also had about two hundred pubs around the UK.
15:16
The business, based in Tagcaster, North Yorkshire, was known by
15:20
many pubgoers for its eccentric rules, including banning mobile phones, music,
15:27
televisions and swearing on their sites. Tagcaster's mayor Richard Sweeting
15:33
described the notoriously publicity shy businessman as a true gentleman
15:38
and a man of principle. Final note on pubs apart
15:43
from a lot of them are older than America, but
15:46
a family member was in a local pub restaurant and
15:50
ordered an alcohol three mocktail for their daughter, but was
15:54
told she could not have one as other customers might
15:58
think she's drinking alcohol. It's new and it's available to you.

16:58
Speaker 2: It's the Mike Kelly short shortcat for your scam.
17:01
Speaker 4: Watch avoid the Pixella AI picture generating service that charges
17:07
a small fee to make images that then comes back
17:11
later to take a much larger payment from your account
17:15
without any warnings.
17:18
Speaker 2: It's the Mike Kelly Short Short podcast for you.
17:21
Speaker 4: It's not my fault you've ended up listening to this.
17:24
Blame the algorithm or AI. But while we're here, why
17:29
not tell a friend the two about the Mike dj

18:41
to national attention in nineteen seventy seven when she created

And on a medical note, notice that some medical professionals
21:53
are saying on social media that the tone at internal
21:57
meetings have changed and instead of aiming for NHS excellence,
22:02
the term being good enough is starting to be used. Update.
22:08
Last time we mentioned the annoying and messy border checks
22:12
ees biometric entry and exit systems at airports and ports.
22:18
Looks like they're now going to turn it off and

Speaker 2: It's the Mike Kelly Short Short Podcast for you all.

22:33
Ace Durani FA World Cup doctor here. You probably heard
22:37
England may use viagra before their big match in Mexico City.
22:42
Here's why at altitude, your lungs squeeze their own blood
22:47
vessels shut, which strains your heart and starves your muscles
22:51
of oxygen. Viagra relaxes these vessels and opens the flow
22:57
back up. The bedroom effect is just the famous side gig,
23:01
same drug, different job, Sunshine Mozzy. If you want to
23:05
ban social media for under sixteens for their mental health,
23:10
can we please ban the Daily Mail and gb News
23:13
for the over sixty fives for the same reason. Four
23:17
day week foundation. You shouldn't have to choose between catching
23:22
up on sleep, seeing friends and family, or doing the
23:25
weekly shop. A two day weekend makes you choose. A
23:29
three day weekend lets you live. It's time for the
23:33
four day week. David Williams. If you work for a
23:37
utility company, I hope your wages have gone up by
23:41
the same percentage as their profits. The shareholder and bosses
23:46
are making a mint at the moment. Well, actually you're
23:50
making a mint for them, along with their customers paying
23:54
over the odds. The official mel Brooks mel Brooks one
23:59
hundred birthday thank you so much for all of your
24:03
happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don't really feel one hundred.
24:07
I feel pretty good. I feel I'm only ninety eight.
24:12
Gavin w ren Kenko announced their shrinking the size of
24:17
coffee jars by five percent to better align with shopper missions.
24:23
And I'm going to need to put that into Google
24:26
Translate to try and understand what do they mean, because
24:31
I can't imagine that anyone's shopping mission is paying more
24:36
money for a smaller product. So hailch may oh one.
24:41
The next biggest revolution is robots. Tesla is building a
24:46
force of robots. It's estimated there will be one million
24:50
robots next year, and then ten million each year after that.
24:55
Each of these robots will cost twenty five to thirty
24:58
thousand dollars each year. They will get better and better
25:02
to the point where human labor will become obsolete. Even
25:07
looking at their current level of functioning. Its mind blowing.
25:12
Imagine where this world is going. Fake showbiz news at
25:21
fake showbiz News, Jane Fonda is to change her name
25:27
to Jane Honda in a five year sponsorship deal with
25:30
the Japanese motor Giant worth up to two point three
25:34
billion with Adnon's so Cliff Richards says he's alarmed that
25:39
The News Sheffield's Utilita Arena has declared itself a cash
25:45
three venue. A good proportion of my audience are going
25:49
to be fuming about that, he warned. Elon Musk no

money's raised will go to charity. According to a story
26:40
in The Guardian, the UK's rollout of electric vehicle chargers
26:45
has slowed down amid challenging cost pressures and uncertainty over
26:51
the government sales targets. Apparently, charger companies installed five one
26:57
hundred public charging point in the first half of twenty
27:02
twenty six, pushing the total to one hundred and twenty
27:06
one thousand, one hundred and seventy one. According to zap Map,
27:12
I know a lot of people charge at home, but
27:15
still that's not many charging points. According to Google, there
27:20
are approximately thirty four point three million licensed cars registered
27:26
across the UK, so if everyone had electric cars, that
27:30
would be two hundred and eighty three motorists per charging point.
27:40
So you thought they were wearing a large looking smartwatch
27:45
on their ankle. It appears the rapid expansion of electronic
27:50
tagging of the fenders to reduce pressures on prisons will
27:54
put public safety at risk without improvements to a system
27:59
already under significant strain. The number of people in England
28:04
and Wales being electronically monitored has doubled to twenty eight thousand,
28:09
seven hundred over five years. It's expected to rise to
28:13
an estimated twenty two thousand tagged each year from twenty
28:18
twenty seven on. The government plans to combat the present
28:23
capacity crisis by managing more offenders in the community.
28:28
Speaker 2: It's the Mike Kelly Shorten short podcast for.
28:30
Speaker 4: You guess the celebrity. Born thirty first of July nineteen
28:36
sixty four. He is a British drummer, TV presenter of
28:40
National geographics channels Car Sos also shown on Channel four
28:46
and More four motoring journalists for Classic Car Weekly. Former
28:51
Technical director of Practical Classics and Mechanic. He is also
28:57
Honorary Presidence of the Triumph Sport sixth Club. He also
29:02
had a solo music career where he joined former beat
29:05
singer Ranking Roger and his band General Public, which later
29:10
toured the US under the guise of Ranking Roger. Local
29:14
indie band Pop Will Eat Itself noticed him drumming with
29:18
local acts and asked him to join. He spent the
29:22
next four and a half years drumming for the band,
29:25
during which time they had successes in both the UK
29:28
single and album charts and toured North America with Nine
29:33
Inch Nails. He's also started playing drums for the dance
29:37
music outfit Bentley Rhythm Ace. Who Is He?
29:42
Speaker 1: This is the short short podcast by Kelly.
29:44
Speaker 4: And in our Something You Don't Know Spot Welcome Tip
29:48
Tree Making Preserves in the Essex village of the same
29:53
name since eighteen eighty five, with the Wilkin family farming
29:58
there since seventeen fifty seven. They still grow much of
30:02
their own fruit on the estate, including the famous Little
30:06
Scarlet strawberry, and hold a royal warrant. Family rooted largely
30:12
employee owned and properly English and older than America. Made
30:18
in England. Every manicured law in the world traces back
30:23
to one Englishman who was too embarrassed to be seen
30:27
using his own invention. Before eighteen thirty, keeping grass shore
30:32
meant to team of men using syves, which is why
30:36
a fine lawn was something only the very rich could afford.
30:41
Then Edwin Budding, an engineer from Stroud, adapted a machine
30:47
built to trim the thuzz off cloth and pointed it
30:50
at the ground instead, he invented the lawnmower. He was
30:55
so convinced people would think him ridiculous that he only
30:59
tested it to dark cricket, tennis Wembley. Every park, every garden,
31:05
every Sunday afternoon spent going up and down in straight lines.
31:09
All of it starts with a man mowinga's grass at
31:13
night in eighteen thirty so the neighbors wouldn't see I see.
31:18
A Canadian engineer has developed an autonomous flying umbrella that
31:24
can hover overhead and follow its user without being held.
31:29
The prototype was built by John Tay, a creator and
31:33
an engineer behind the iBUILD stuff channel. The system combines
31:38
a custom built drone platform, a time of flight depth camera,
31:43
onboard computing and autonomous flight software. In demonstration videos, the
31:50
umbrella tracks of persons movements and adjusts its position to
31:55
remain overhead while walking. Seems a lot of expense and
32:00
bother to go to just to avoid holding an umbrella.
32:05
Speaker 5: I see in future all podcasts are going to be
32:08
monitored and checked before they are published to make sure
32:11
you do not say anti government stuff, a bit like
32:14
what they are doing with activists like that eighty plus
32:17
year old female vicar.
32:19
Speaker 4: I think we should be safe. We never say anything
32:22
nasty about anybody or anything politics. UK twenty eighth of June,
32:32
breaking rough sleeping will be decriminalized from tomorrow as the
32:37
government repeals the eighteen twenty four Vagrancy Act. It means
32:42
police won't be able to move on homeless people sleeping
32:46
or begging on the streets. Carnage for Life. Ford has
32:50
re hired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with
32:55
AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars.
33:00
AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled
33:04
automaker in the US, with fifty one recalls covering over
33:09
eleven million vehicles in the first half of twenty twenty
33:13
six alone by Line East. As Britain swelters through another
33:18
heat wave, few people will have heard that ministers have
33:21
quietly dropped plans for solar car ports. Cars cooler in summer,
33:26
sheltered from the rain in winter, clean electricity all year round,
33:31
A missed opportunity NHS millions. Does anyone know why life
33:37
saving air ambulances have to rely on funding from charities
33:42
but helicopters for the Royal family are paid for by
33:45
the taxpayer embodied med I'm an NHS doctor with over
33:50
twenty years experience in the NHS. We can all feel
33:54
the strain on the NHS. The staff and the patients
33:58
are experiencing it. The NHS always asks us to do
34:03
more with less year on year, but I'm concerned that
34:07
in the last three weeks I've been to two conferences
34:11
where we have discussed the future of medicine and healthcare
34:14
in certain services and the phrase used was we have
34:19
to be okay with good enough. Nottingham is set to
34:23
become the first city in the UK to ban balaclava's
34:27
in public spaces as part of the wider crackdown on
34:31
antisocial behavior and crime linked to massed individuals. Supporters say
34:36
the move could improve public safety and make it easier
34:40
to identify offenders, while critics argue it raises questions about
34:46
personal freedom. The proposal comes amid growing concern over incidents
34:51
involving massed us and illegal e byte activity in the
34:56
city and in the late news. Motorists want to watch
35:04
how they go when winter freezing temperatures return, as many
35:08
filled in potholes will just reappear as soon as it's
35:13
icy and wet. Tech billionaire Mark Zuckenberg is in bother
35:18
over poisoning the water of the city with a deadly bacteria.
35:22
This is what happens when a society values capital and
35:26
profits more than human life. New laws to stop companies
35:31
sending emails to you unless they accept return emails. No
35:36
more of this email address is not monitored. Malarchy. New
35:41
rules in Parliament so you can only claim a full
35:44
pension as an MP or Prime Minister if you've served
35:49
five years in the role. Tightening of rules means companies
35:53
that do not pay UK tax cannot supply services for
35:57
government contracts.
35:59
Speaker 3: So sorry, mister Kelly, you are out of time. You
36:02
must stop now.
36:04
Speaker 4: Okay, it's time to go Guess the song or name
36:07
the artists who had a hit with the song that
36:10
these lines came from. Here comes my happiness again, right
36:15
back to where it should have been, because now she's
36:18
gone and I'm free, and she can't do a thing
36:21
to me. It was the Mavericks were dancing the night away.
