you know on a on a fairly regular basis and by scary stuff I'm mainly talking about the kind of behavior around addiction which I see and I'm not gonna lie if I'm in town with my kids sometimes I have seen things you know that I really wish my kids weren't seeing like that's just the truth that doesn't mean I don't have empathy for the people who are who are suffering as a result of addiction I absolutely do um but I just think that that that the the real problem

for the most part in the city center in that area is coming from addiction and we just seem to have a complete unwillingness to actually tackle you know the mental health challenges and the addiction which leads to a lot of the anti-social behavior and quote-unquote crime in the city center um i don't know man i don't know instead you know we'll do these yeah this like kind of occasional dog whistling about immigration and you're like what are you what are you talking about like yeah what are you talking about

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, look, I mean, we don't have any answers today and there's not an election in the immediate future.

So I guess we'll move on to something.

Oh, I mean, do we call it fun?

Do we call it stupid?

Do we call it fun to talk about, but completely stupid?

What am I talking about?

I'm talking about the giant.

And if you haven't heard about the giant, brace yourself.

I'm not sure people are flying in to have a look at the children's hospital, Carl.

Of course, where it belongs.

I did see some interesting content this week around the fact that apparently Sis Madden's on Drury Street had its outdoor license revoked.

And indeed, I think they've said that there's to be no outdoor drinking on Drury Street.

Now, don't fact-check me on that.

Well, do actually fact-check me on that because...

This is all kind of I've seen in conversation because I didn't research this properly beforehand.

But anyway, basically, the message is that they don't want people drinking outside on Drury Street, which is obviously a very popular place for people to hang out in town during good weather.
