Radio hosts slammed for crude joke about women using tampons: 'How is this allowed to go to air?'
Australian radio duo Jimmy Smith and Nathan Roye have been slammed after making an immature joke about women using tampons live on air. The 2Day FM stars were presenting their breakfast radio show when Jimmy read out a joke from a book. 'Two tampons were walking down the street. Which one said hello first?' he asked. His co-host Nath questioned: 'I don't know, which one?' 'Neither - they were both stuck up c**ts,' Jimmy responded, leaving one of the show's producers shocked. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Producer Lolo, do you think you should buy the book after hearing something like that?' Nath asked. 'My soul just left my body,' the stunned producer said, to which Jimmy responded: 'Did your tampon?' Listeners flocked to the radio station's Instagram page to express their outrage at the joke. 'Sorry love you guys.. not a cool joke,' one person wrote. 'Cringiest sh*t on radio, stop calling me,' another said while a third added: 'How is this allowed to go to air?!' Jimmy and Nath were confirmed as 2Day FM's breakfast hosts back in January alongside Emma Chow. The trio gained 0.5 per cent of the breakfast market share in the latest radio ratings. The station finished at 4.5 overall - up by 0.2 - as it gains ground on Triple M's overall 4.9 market share. Triple M recently suffered a brutal blow in the third radio ratings survey of 2025. The survey showed that Beau Ryan, Aaron 'Woodsy' Woods and Cat Lynch's Sydney breakfast show continues to lose listeners. The trio, who lost 1.5 per cent of the market share in survey two, dropped another 1.5 in the latest survey, bringing them down to a 4.4 market share from a previous 5.9.

Where to vote, who's on the ballot in Honea Path's special election for mayor
The Town of Honea Path will vote on a new mayor on July 15. The special election was necessary following the resignation of former Mayor Christopher Burton on April 15. Burton was elected in 2019 and won reelection in 2023; his second term would have ended in 2027, but he stepped down due to an increased workload at Greenville Technical College, making it difficult for him to fulfill his duties as mayor. In the interim, town council member Jim Taylor was sworn in as mayor pro tem. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Early voting for this election concluded on July 11. Three candidates are running in the special election: Jimmy Smith, Luther Moon, and Tina Marie Scott. Here is a brief overview of the candidates running in the upcoming special mayoral election. Jimmy Smith was born and raised in the town of Honea Path and has deep roots in the community. He has been married to Marsha (Davis) Smith for 30 years, and together they have been active participants in local events and initiatives. Smith is committed to managing capital assets through a planned, systematic approach, including lease purchases, strict budget planning, and adherence to state compliance regulations. Luther Moon is a combat veteran, horseman, and businessman who is running for mayor with a focus on bringing accountability, smart growth, and respect for Honea Path's roots. As president of the Honea Path Merchants Association and founder of Honea Path Young Entrepreneurs, Moon has played a role in revitalizing Main Street through festivals, local events, and youth mentorship programs. In a statement, Moon stated that his campaign is not about politics. "It's about taking back our voices, building a future with transparency, fairness, and real accountability." "Whether you're a merchant, a parent, a student, or a retiree, your voice matters," Moon said. "As Mayor, I'll work to build a future we can all be proud of by listening to the people, restoring transparency, and bringing the town we love back to life from the inside out." Tina Marie Scott, who has dedicated 32 years to teaching in public schools, is once again vying for the mayoral seat in Honea Path. Previously, she ran against former Mayor Christopher Burton in 2023. During that race, Burton won with 57.8% of the vote, defeating Scott, who received 41.1%, with 1.10% of the vote coming from write-in votes. Despite her previous loss, Scott is back on the ballot for the upcoming special election. "If I'm elected mayor," Scott said, "I'd like to expand our youth programs to include mentoring, community service, town beautification projects, and leadership opportunities. These programs can teach responsibility, build pride in our town, and connect young people with positive role models." Chiquola Mill Precinct, located at Honea Path Elementary School, 806 E.

Falcons miss out on All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones in 2011 NFL redraft
Two moves have really defined the Atlanta Falcons over the last two decades. The first move was selecting Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan with the third overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft. Three years later, the Falcons traded up to the sixth overall slot in the 2011 draft to select Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones. Ryan and Jones formed one of the most dynamic duos in NFL history. Both players retired as Atlanta's franchise statistical leaders at their respective positions. Jones is a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, while Ryan has a decent chance to be voted into the league' s most exclusive club. Advertisement What would have happened if the Falcons never drafted Jones back in 2011? In Pro Football Focus' 2011 NFL redraft, the seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver didn't even make it out of the top five. So instead of adding the most productive receiver in franchise history, the Falcons stayed at pick No. 27 and drafted cornerback Jimmy Smith. Smith's size and man-to-man ability were valuable assets during his 11-year career in Baltimore. He recorded an 81.5 PFF coverage grade and hauled in 14 regular-season interceptions and one postseason pick across that span. Smith also played very well on a small workload in Super Bowl 47, forcing two incompletions and earning a 92.7 PFF coverage grade. -- PFF's Max Chadwick, Dalton Wasserman and Trevor Sikkema Smith spent his entire career in Baltimore, and despite not making a Pro Bowl, he was a dependable starter that helped the Ravens secure the Super Bowl in 2013. The former Colorado defensive back appeared in 128 games (90 starts), recording 14 interceptions and 74 passes defended. The 2011 redraft saw Jones selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with the fourth overall pick. The Bengals originally took wide receiver A.J. Green at this spot, but PFF felt Jones was the better players throughout his NFL career. There was a big debate heading into the 2011 NFL Draft over whether A.J. Green or Julio Jones was the top wide receiver prospect. The Bengals ultimately picked Green, who went on to have an excellent career in Cincinnati. However, Jones ended up being the better player. The two-time first-team All-Pro recorded a career 94.7 PFF overall grade and was the second-most-valuable receiver across his 13 seasons, according to PFF WAR. -- PFF's Max Chadwick, Dalton Wasserman and Trevor Sikkema The Falcons still landed a quality player in PFF's redraft scenario, however, it's hard to imagine Ryan ever reaching his MVP potential without Jones as his top weapon. While Atlanta didn't capture the Super Bowl, the team got as close as humanly possible during the 2016 NFL season. Advertisement As the team moves into 2025, a new duo has emerged. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and wide receiver Drake London will look to get the Falcons back to the playoffs for the first time since Ryan and Jones departed.

Hardworking senior, 92, forced to mow neighbors' lawns after Dem mayor's neglect in historic city
An elderly Alabama man has been forced to maintain his neighbors' lawns for decades after the city snapped up properties for a project that was never completed. Jimmy Smith, 92, regularly mows the grass of his late mother's house in Birmingham, despite the city having purchased it nearly 20 years ago, reported WBRC. He still lives next door to his mother's derelict home and said the local government stopped taking care of the property years ago. 'What the city said they were going to do has not been done, and my question is why?' Smith said. 'They took what was rightfully ours.' His mother, Nancy Smith, sold her longtime home for $42,000 on March 22, 2006, as part of the 35th Street North Extension Street Improvement Project, according to WBMA. Smith said his mother felt like she had no choice but to sell, and then tragically, she died five days later. 'When my momma got the news... what the city was going to do... although she had medical problems, she died, for lack of a better word, she died of a broken heart,' Smith said. The project, which was conducted during the administration of then-Mayor Bernard Kincaid, was never completed, and the Smith family property has sat untouched, according to 'What the city said they were going to do has not been done, and my question is why?' Smith said. 'They took what was rightfully ours. 'The city took this property, and it's not my responsibility to dictate their policies. They did it — they should have all the answers. Mr. Mayor, it's one of your children. I want action right now. Can't wait.' Smith remembers his once-thriving community and has taken on the burden of maintaining not just his mother's house but also several of his neighbors'. 'You're looking at the maintainer. Not just this, but that and that and that, that on the other side,' he said. Across the street is the former Carver High School, the original site of a high school built for black students in 1959 during the era of segregation. 'That's the school where the children made a difference, and Lord, look at it now,' Smith said. 'My God, man, they could do something with that. That hurts, not as much as my mom's house, but close to it.' 'This was a proud community with houses, filling stations and cleaners,' he said. 'I haven't completely forgotten. I know God says forgive, but I ain't Jesus, I ain't never going to forget that.' A spokesperson for current Mayor Randall Woodin told local media that they are reviewing the forgotten project. 'There are a great deal of historical details related to how the 35th Street North extension project evolved,' the spokesperson said. 'As a city, we are reviewing this area and see the need for access improvements and other changes to benefit the community.' The city intends to consult with Smith and his neighbors to use their input moving forward. 'Our study of this area will include input from Mr. Smith and his neighbors before committing to next steps for the specific property he has cited,' the spokesperson said. 'His advocacy has been impactful. We'll be following up with him and others in the community soon to discuss possible plans for the area.' Smith said he has hope that the community will be revived before he passes away. 'Then I could just go at peace,' he said. 'Some years to come, our babies are going to have a swimming pool, and our babies are going to have safe streets,' he said. 'We're going to have sidewalks. Just watch and see.'

Ravens legends revel in a unique opportunity to reconnect with the franchise 21 Ravens legends return and receive an inside look at running an NFL franchise. Most of us will never know the camaraderie that exists in a Baltimore Ravens locker room. We'll never know the anguish that comes from needing to walk away. How does one determine they're done playing a game they have enjoyed since they were kids? Every Raven makes that decision at some point. If they're lucky, hopefully, they do so voluntarily, because this game we all love has a long history of retiring players before they're willing. That's when new phases and new chapters begin. What's next? … That's the question guys sometimes ask themselves. Often, they move on from the game and adjust fairly well, but the love never leaves. Baltimore's player personnel department understands that, and to their credit, they did something about it. They reached out to some former Ravens with a unique opportunity. They hosted a virtual Legends Scout School. 21 former Ravens were invited. Two spoke with the official team website to discuss their experiences. What they shared will undoubtedly put a smile on everyone's faces. 21 former Ravens come home to explore a new avenue leading them back to the game they love No Ravens die-hard will forget that final goal-line stand in Super Bowl 47. The San Francisco 49ers were turned away, leading to Baltimore's second Lombardi Trophy. Former Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith played a huge role in securing victory on a night often remembered for a power outage. He was one of the 21 former Ravens recently given a crash course on what it takes to run a front office. Former wide receiver Marcus Williams was also present, as were Antwan Barnes, Levi Brown, and Earnest Byner.

Assistant Director of Pro Personnel Corey Frazier and Vice President of Football Administration Nick Matteo taught the pro scouting process and discussed salary cap and contract management. reports that Director of Legacy Engagement Matt Little organized the event in tandem with the Ravens' player personnel department. He puts it best. "The commitment of our Player Personnel department to spearhead an event like this for our former players speaks to the family-oriented culture at the Ravens. Once you're a Raven, you're forevermore." Who could disagree with that? Here's a tip of the cap to a great job done by everyone. Fingers are crossed. Hopefully, what these Ravens legends learned will lead to opportunities to re-enter the game they all love.
