The very funny Miriam Margoyles had a chat to Clairsy & Lisa about all sorts of random things including her views on why Harry Potter fans should grow up and where to get a good bagel in Perth.
Clairsy & Lisa opened the phones to ask you about your partner’s worst habit.
School Holidays are still on so if you’re looking for something to take the kids to, Ben O’Shea reviewed Ghostbusters Frozen Empire a few weeks ago for Clairsy & Lisa.

Calls on Your Partner's Worst Habit and.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Benochet reviews Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Miriam Magleys is joining us now. Good morning, Miriam. Oh,
hello Miriam.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Do you feel like an honorary Aussie these days because
you've been here a lot.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
I don't feel like an honorary Assi. I feel like a.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yes exactly.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
But I've got the certificate. I got it in person
from Julia Gillart. Julia, I loved her. That gives you
a clue to my politic. There is no no mystification
about that. And no, I'm an Australian and I love Australia,
and I had a very good time in person when
(00:53):
I was there. I've done a bit of my series
on person there and I had a lovely.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Time with my rallies, lovely last time you were here,
in fact, and I'm so disappointed that I wasn't there
at the same time. You got some bagels around the
corner from my place had the one and only well,
I think it's the one and only proper bagel place
because other places just do horseshoe rolls.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
A bagel is a bagel.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
But what what are your plans for when you're in
Perth this time?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Well, I don't think I'm going to be with you
for very long, not long enough, and then I've got
to get off somewhere else. Okay, I will at least
get to Western Australia because last time shuts us out,
we couldn't get it.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, I had to wait a year to come back.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, but you do have to it. You do have
to jet around, Miriam when you're in demand like that.
You don't want to waste the opportunity to see people.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
That's absolutely right. I'm interested in the money, and the
money is coming in and I will know where the
money is.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Said John, I, I'm one hundred percent with you. Let's
not pretend the possibly Australian series, as you just mentioned,
Perth plays are part this time around. So where did
you get to go with that?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I'm not going to tell you.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Oh okay.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
If I if I don't mention the place that you know,
people say I'm not bothering to watch that. I get around,
let me tell you, and I met some very interesting
people and I learned about things that I didn't know.
It was fascinating and I really enjoyed myself.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Mary mind no, a question from a me and muggle here.
I know there's a very strong connection you have with
the Harry Potter Harry Potter fans and the series and that,
but apparently you've upset a few of them. Is there's
something that you've said recently that's stirred the pot amongst
the Potters.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
I know.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I do love upsetting people, because if you upset people,
it means you have them. They've actually heard you moved them.
Was going on these days that people don't listen and
meant what I said, which is that Harry Potter was
a wonderful series of films and books for children. Yes,
(03:07):
but if you're still living with Harry Potter when you're
over fifteen, something has gone terribly wrong. And I hold
to that. I don't. I don't. I stand by what
I say. I think that is the truth. I do
these cameos, you know, these people writeing them. You get
paid for saying happy birthday and happy wedding and me
(03:29):
and said, we're having a Harry Potter wedding. Oh dear,
oh dear, this does not bode well for that night.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So if people play quit retirement times, that's a problem.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yes, I'm worried about it. So I just want people
to read grown up books as well.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I totally agree.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
And I think the fact that they're enraged that you
said they need to grow up shows they need to grow.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Up, because I mean, I don't mean that they should
not imagining. No, imagination should have been stimulated to go on.
Do other things stay where they were. We should be
moving on.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
You're adding to it. You're not replacing one with another.
You're just adding to the you know, the world of
what you're red.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
And you don't want to kill fantasy.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I might not do it every time I buy a
Loto ticket, but you've got to there are some things
you can move on with.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Fantasy and imagination are very important things. But I think
that on the whole, I'll settle for imagination. Yeah, let
fantasy take care of itself. Fantasy can lead you into
very dangerous territory.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Well, if you've got a good imagination, and now I
thank you. I think you answered this question with the
last question, Is there anything you've ever regretted sharing an
opinion about?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
No, I don't think so. I'm not sure that I
should have told my parents that I was gay. It
was more than they could handle, and they were very,
very upset about it, and that's to their in a sense,
they were sailing me rather than the other way around.
But I always tell people who are gay be careful
(05:17):
who you tell, because it's not about letting it all out.
It's about sharing something that matters to you. It matters
to me that what my sexuality is was and I
think my parents were just not able to expand to
realize that their daughter was a gay woman and that
(05:40):
I would still be happy and a nice person and
have a good life. And it was as if I
told them that I was a not.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
That that's very disappointing people of the era.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, I guess there is an element of the time.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Daddy was born in eighteen nineteen, right from another world.
And I'm not saying that I'm of this world, but
certainly gay, and I'm not going to try to be
straight just to please anyone else.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
So many, yeah, so many loves go through so much trouble,
so much grief in their lives, don't they close the world?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
We're adding to it with the nastiness that we show
each other. No, lesbians and transgender people are having a fight,
and the town and the country. It's all life has
got suddenly, rather than nasty interesting.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I feel like everyone feels like they're missing out if
they haven't got something to be outraged about. Miriam, have
a wonderful night and we'll catch you in possibly Australian.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Thank you so much for having me. I really enjoyed.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Talking to you.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
The next time you stay longer and the three of us, Yes,
that's the word.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
More c more Lisa, more podcasts soon.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
This is a bit gross, actually it's a lot gross,
So we'll skim over it very quickly and get to
the point of the matter, which is we want to
ask what's your partner's worst habit? But I mean, you know,
cleanliness is next to godliness, and it's not too much
to ask for good hygiene. A woman has shocked the
Internet when she told it told the internet, told us
(07:31):
all that her boyfriend brushes his teeth every few weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Leave the room slash months, surely not months. That's gross.
Come on, they'd be falling out in his mouth.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
God please, it's bad enough just the thought of someone
only brushing their teeth every few weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But you don't need to bring saws into the equation.
Mister Claire's also ulcers.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Okay, no, there is no excuse, no, no excuse whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
That is disgusting.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So would you kiss said people like she said boyfriend?
No kissing him because that's so rank.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Would you kiss someone who hadn't crushed their teeth for
two days? No?
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Way?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Oh? Maybe better have been lost on a hike in
the forest. It depends, I'll tell you. Are I guess
I might push into a week, but not multiple weeks.
That's disgusting. Yeah, that is really disgusting. I first read
this this morning at four forty and I felt sick.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Yeah yeah, anyway, Yeah, that's that's enough. Set about that
rushing his teeth once every couple of weeks. I mention, anymore,
what is your partner's worst habit?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So great habit, partner? Yeah? Oh, I could say leaving
hair all over the floor. You could, But you want
to have a nice day, don't whatever. Nice marriage. Kristin
in Darling Down, Hello, kristin Morning, guys, what is it
worst habit?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
So when my husband has a like a cut or
like a scab, he'll he'll pick it and pick it
and pick it, and as soon as he gets it off,
he'll eat it.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Hey, why you're just going to say rebleed.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It's just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It's just what he does, right, It's just like a wow,
far out a bit of wow. Yes, I'm so sorry,
you're producer was lost for word. Yes, so are we
You're probably not. We really are.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Just a fat featuring him sauteing it with a bit
of garlic and so on. In Christian's news he had
a bit more salt.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So this is not enough hot sauce in the world. Kristen,
thank you for sharing.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, we think thank you for Christen's offense. I have
heard of other people doing that.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah, it's got to so there's something, you know, when
some women get pregnant they blue metal. Yeah, weird, you know,
drawn to it. Obviously there's some weird thing in these people.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I think this is more gross because this is heading in.
It's totally more gross.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, and it's become a habit that he have done
since he was young, picking nose.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
And yeah, it's going to say that a book of
seller is not that's nothing, nothing compared to greens is
not good in that respect. Yeah, was this a good idea?
Because a little bit sick?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Well, and that's the thing we said, I mean, I'm
on my third We said, we're hockey.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
And now all of a sudden, I feel a little bit.
Our producers joined you, what have you got for us?
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Years ago, I used to live with somebody who had
an obsession with tissues and they would blow their nose,
but not put them in the bin, and they.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Would like shove them down the side of the couch.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
That's so you sit on the couch and you put
your hands like one of the custions and you've come
up with four or five dirty tissues. But it wasn't
just in the house, it was in their car. It
was everywhere everywhere you went, just dirty tissues. Absolutely gross.
And to this day I don't buy tissues anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Just that's disgusting. That grosses me out. That's great, horrible.
That person's car, of that person's couch. You're looking for
some spare change a dirty tissue. It's not it's horrible. Yeah,
that is a horrible. Yeah, that's good. Thanks for sharing that. Welcome.
We think more Crazy, More Lisa, more podcasts. Soon Read
(11:42):
the flick with ben o'she good money man, You guys
what you got today? Benny?
Speaker 5 (11:48):
This will make you, This will make you feel old.
The original Ghostbusters movie. Can you believe? It came out
pretty much forty years ago? Oh? Yeah, years ago, nineteen
eighty four, and yeah, Bill Murray, Dan, aykroyd Ernie Hudson,
Harold Ramas and you know Ray Parker Jr. What a classic.
(12:13):
I had, fred An No Ghosts and so since then.
And there was a Sickly nineteen eighty nine that was
pretty good. But they're kind of, you know, legendary comedies
that gave us so many great one liners and sort
of iconic cinematic moments. Then in twenty sixteen, Paul Feig
made an all female ghost Basters reboot, starring Melissa McCarthy
(12:36):
and Kristen Wigg. It was not good. Everybody, everybody really,
everybody really hated on it. I think probably some of
the criticism was unfair. It's you know, like film bros
on the internet going, oh, we don't like it because
it's all women. But also it was not an amazing film.
That's kind of a yeah, that's you know, you take
(12:57):
away all of that stuff and it just was not good.
That wasn't great at all. And then in twenty twenty one,
Jason Reitman, who is the son of Ivan Reiman who
directed the Originals, made Ghostbusters Afterlife and it was surprisingly good.
It came in with low expectations. It did pretty well
(13:18):
at the box office. It came out during the pandemic,
so you probably give it a pass on not making
heats of money, but it was okay. It kind of
focused on Egon Spengler's family decades after the events of
the original movie in sort of rural Oklahoma. Egon Spengler's
daughter Calli played by Carry Coon and his grandkids played
(13:40):
by Finn Wolfhart from Stranger Things and McKenna Grace and
had Paul Ruther as well as the high school science
teacher who kind of gets roped into these supernatural happenings.
He plays the hilariously named Gary Grubison and the film.
The film kind of won over fans because it was nostalgic.
It had some really nice tributes in it, to the original,
(14:04):
and so they get got the kind of like the
go ahead to make a sequel, which is what Frozen
Empire is, and they bring the action back to New York.
You've got the iconic firehouse set, you've got a kind
of supernatural city is about to be destroyed, vibes of
the original. But the mistake people will make about Frozen
Empire is comparing it to the original. You can't do that.
(14:27):
It will never stack up. This is a family movie.
The central cast members are kids, so you've got to
kind of compare it to your Harry Potters, your Percy Jackson's,
you know, your Hunger Games, those type of, you know,
tweety movies, And when you're comparing it to a family
movie like that, all of a sudden, Frozen Empire is
(14:48):
actually pretty good. You've got some solid cameos from Bill
Murray and Dan Ackroyd, some hilarious moments from those guys
who are obviously comedy legends. You got a really good
addition in Kamal Nanjiani who's a funny, funny actor as well,
and so you probably get enough in here to keep
(15:10):
the original fans of the franchise happy. But it's really
aimed at new fans, young kids. You know, you're probably
looking at like sort of twelve to sixteen is a
target demographic of this film. So it arrives just in
time for the school holidays.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Okay, that's night.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I mean, it's been forty years since the first movie,
but ten years since we lost Harold Ramers, so I'm
glad those other yeah blokes have popped up again with
the cameos.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
That's good. Yeah, h And they're all great as well,
Like Bill Murray. You know, he's just classic kind of
deadpan performance from him. Dan Akroyd. Yeah, he plays Bill.
He just does his own thing. It's a great scene
where from the original he would do those kind of
like psychic energy tests on his college female college students,
this time he does one with Kamal Nanjiani. It's one
(15:54):
of the highlights of the film. It's extremely funny, and
Dan Akroyd looks like he's having the best time of
his life, as you know he always does. He's so
full of enthusiasm for everything that he does. Very very funny.
So yeah, it's if you're comparing it to the original,
you'll be disappointed if you don't. Don't criticize it for
what it's not, celebrate it for what it is.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
You get something out of it, all right, So how
many Ghostbusters are you giving it?
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Well, Bustin makes me feel good, so I'm going to
give this one. I'm going to give this one three

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, we think thank you for Christen's offense. I have
heard of other people doing that.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah, it's got to so there's something, you know, when
some women get pregnant they blue metal. Yeah, weird, you know,
drawn to it. Obviously there's some weird thing in these people.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I think this is more gross because this is heading in.
It's totally more gross.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, and it's become a habit that he have done
since he was young, picking nose.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
And yeah, it's going to say that a book of
seller is not that's nothing, nothing compared to greens is
not good in that respect. Yeah, was this a good idea?

Well, and that's the thing we said, I mean, I'm

Speaker 4 (10:47):
And now all of a sudden, I feel a little bit.
Our producers joined you, what have you got for us?
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Years ago, I used to live with somebody who had
an obsession with tissues and they would blow their nose,
but not put them in the bin, and they.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Would like shove them down the side of the couch.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
That's so you sit on the couch and you put
your hands like one of the custions and you've come
up with four or five dirty tissues. But it wasn't
just in the house, it was in their car. It
was everywhere everywhere you went, just dirty tissues. Absolutely gross.
And to this day I don't buy tissues anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Just that's disgusting. That grosses me out. That's great, horrible.
That person's car, of that person's couch. You're looking for
some spare change a dirty tissue. It's not it's horrible. Yeah,
that is a horrible. Yeah, that's good. Thanks for sharing that. Welcome.
We think more Crazy, More Lisa, more podcasts. Soon Read
(11:42):
the flick with ben o'she good money man, You guys
what you got today? Benny?
Speaker 5 (11:48):
This will make you, This will make you feel old.
The original Ghostbusters movie. Can you believe? It came out
pretty much forty years ago? Oh? Yeah, years ago, nineteen
eighty four, and yeah, Bill Murray, Dan, aykroyd Ernie Hudson,
Harold Ramas and you know Ray Parker Jr. What a classic.
(12:13):
I had, fred An No Ghosts and so since then.
And there was a Sickly nineteen eighty nine that was
pretty good. But they're kind of, you know, legendary comedies
that gave us so many great one liners and sort
of iconic cinematic moments. Then in twenty sixteen, Paul Feig
made an all female ghost Basters reboot, starring Melissa McCarthy
(12:36):
and Kristen Wigg. It was not good. Everybody, everybody really,
everybody really hated on it. I think probably some of
the criticism was unfair. It's you know, like film bros
on the internet going, oh, we don't like it because
it's all women. But also it was not an amazing film.
That's kind of a yeah, that's you know, you take
(12:57):
away all of that stuff and it just was not good.
That wasn't great at all. And then in twenty twenty one,
Jason Reitman, who is the son of Ivan Reiman who
directed the Originals, made Ghostbusters Afterlife and it was surprisingly good.
It came in with low expectations. It did pretty well
(13:18):
at the box office. It came out during the pandemic,
so you probably give it a pass on not making
heats of money, but it was okay. It kind of
focused on Egon Spengler's family decades after the events of
the original movie in sort of rural Oklahoma. Egon Spengler's
daughter Calli played by Carry Coon and his grandkids played
(13:40):
by Finn Wolfhart from Stranger Things and McKenna Grace and
had Paul Ruther as well as the high school science
teacher who kind of gets roped into these supernatural happenings.
He plays the hilariously named Gary Grubison and the film.
The film kind of won over fans because it was nostalgic.
It had some really nice tributes in it, to the original,
(14:04):
and so they get got the kind of like the
go ahead to make a sequel, which is what Frozen
Empire is, and they bring the action back to New York.
You've got the iconic firehouse set, you've got a kind
of supernatural city is about to be destroyed, vibes of
the original. But the mistake people will make about Frozen
Empire is comparing it to the original. You can't do that.
(14:27):
It will never stack up. This is a family movie.
The central cast members are kids, so you've got to
kind of compare it to your Harry Potters, your Percy Jackson's,
you know, your Hunger Games, those type of, you know,
tweety movies, And when you're comparing it to a family
movie like that, all of a sudden, Frozen Empire is
(14:48):
actually pretty good. You've got some solid cameos from Bill
Murray and Dan Ackroyd, some hilarious moments from those guys
who are obviously comedy legends. You got a really good
addition in Kamal Nanjiani who's a funny, funny actor as well,
and so you probably get enough in here to keep
(15:10):
the original fans of the franchise happy. But it's really
aimed at new fans, young kids. You know, you're probably
looking at like sort of twelve to sixteen is a
target demographic of this film. So it arrives just in
time for the school holidays.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Okay, that's night.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I mean, it's been forty years since the first movie,
but ten years since we lost Harold Ramers, so I'm
glad those other yeah blokes have popped up again with
the cameos.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
That's good. Yeah, h And they're all great as well,
Like Bill Murray. You know, he's just classic kind of
deadpan performance from him. Dan Akroyd. Yeah, he plays Bill.
He just does his own thing. It's a great scene
where from the original he would do those kind of
like psychic energy tests on his college female college students,
this time he does one with Kamal Nanjiani. It's one
(15:54):
of the highlights of the film. It's extremely funny, and
Dan Akroyd looks like he's having the best time of
his life, as you know he always does. He's so
full of enthusiasm for everything that he does. Very very funny.
So yeah, it's if you're comparing it to the original,
you'll be disappointed if you don't. Don't criticize it for
what it's not, celebrate it for what it is.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
You get something out of it, all right, So how
many Ghostbusters are you giving it?
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Well, Bustin makes me feel good, so I'm going to
give this one. I'm going to give this one three
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Okay three three very good crazy in Lisa
