Dating sites can be a quagmire, can be brought with
the minefield. I've never been on one, so I don't know.
I've never done it five minutes. I wouldn't even know
how to post a profile.

Shuddering story and Nausie Bloke has revealed a former flame
he met through an online dating app Tinder, turned out
to be his long lost cousin. Hunter Smith said he
met the man on Tinder and later received an ominous
message after the relationship ended, saying we need to talk.
Mister Smith said his mind immediately raced with all the
(01:38):
possible scenarios, but he didn't think of this one. It
turns out their grandfathers were related but estranged, and there's
no way they could have known, he said, we're cousins. Distant.
She is a distant curse unless she's not too good
distant not so grieving when it happens to cle had
(02:02):
made the discovery, the sobering discovery by going down an
ancestry dot com rabbit hole. Some people, you know, these
are popular, and some people find that they they descended
from someone onboard the first fleet, or or they were
you know, they someone worked on the Snowy Hydro. Others
will have to settle for something less grand, like you
(02:23):
booked your cousin.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Morning to say that.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Already. We want to talk about dating app surprise, because

two couples that already knew each other. One of the
couples is from here, good morning, and and another couple
is from overse The couple from overe had actually had
quite a few dates and it already and then they
you know, it had petered out, and then there they
were at the end.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Of the arm better word than Peter, and this one.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And these ones they had met once and there was
some ghosting went on, but so far, so good. In
the new series, they're they're seeing it that they're saying
it was you know, wrong time and all that, and
now they're seeing this is a new, you know, new
possible opportunity, very attractive couple together.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Did you watch maths so I don't have to think sacrifice?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Thanks, thank you for my service. But we want to
do about dating app surprises on thirteen ten sixty five,
or you can text us on zero four seven six
ninety six ninety six ninety six. Do just swipe and
live to regret it because it was someone you already
knew or you were related to, or someone you'd hoped
you'd never see again, or your boss or dear you
(03:48):
know law, or your husband of us screwed teacher. If
you accidentally met the husband of your best friend, what
do you what would you say? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:59):

Speaker 2 (03:59):
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You dob?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I'd say.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
RSVP just for a brief period of time, about twenty
years ago. Earth shattering. When you put your profile up
and you get rejected constantly, Yeah, that happened. Yeah, But
I also I also saw quite a few people I
recognized that even they're old photos, because a lot of
people putting very young photos of them young selves on there.
I recognize people I knew, and at least two of
them in the time I was only on for about
(04:24):
three months, two of the people I knew were still married.
I'd put it, even put a photo when I was
six on there. If I was going to be doing that,
I know, Oh that's interesting. I only went on one day,
went on one day, but the girl reminded me so
much of my sister. I just couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
What if you accidentally hooked up with your own spouse.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Don't drinking peedaicle honors.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I think if you've been driven to a dating app,
you're probably not going to swipe on them anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, probably not unless they put a really good photo
on you didn't recognize them.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I got a text from a nameless person who said
I met a guy on e harmony and we dated
for four months and family they were lovely. I went
to his birthday party where I met his other girlfriend
that he also met on e harmony three months before
we started dating. He said he didn't think we'd ever meet,
as she lived north and I lived South. Okay, but
(05:15):
what an idiot that he invited you both to his
birthday party?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
How bizarre?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Dodged a dumble at there, and he was.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Studying the dumble studying a collection of girlfriends. What was
going on there? Starting the hair them up at a
Hammi hill good.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
I Joe, Hello, Joe, Hi, go for us so Tinder
and I swiped right on a nice looking dude.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yes, And we spoke for probably three or four days
back and forth. It was really nice us. Where he
lived he said South Forio and I said, oh, I've
kind of lived near South Forio as well, whereabouts Anyway,
turns out we were neighbors who lived next door.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
No, right next to it, actually next door.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Right.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Right next door. I've been listening to him playing music
and it was during COVID and he made a gym
out in his garage and his pump and iron.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah yeah, so had you already sort of fancied him
when you'd noticed him around the units.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Not really attractive but with that arrogant type of guy.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
But isn't that funny sweep behind the wall. Yeah, that's bizarre.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Well that's either going to work out, well, it'll be
really awkward. Yeah, it was very awkward.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
But luckily he's he's since moved.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Oh yeah, okay, he's moved his gym somewhere else.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Good. Thank god.
Speaker 2 (06:39):

backing up.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Welcome, Thank you very much. Christine. Did you get a

was in a different state, very kind of sad, lonely
look and then looking for love and went on speed
date and found my now has been since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And started with a speed chat. How many minutes do

I'm glad you got that surprise. Not the surprise that
Hunter Smith who met a guy on Tinder and found
out later that he was his cousin.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
His cousin after the event.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So speed date is the app.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah that Christine is storing Christine this morning.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That producers have just put up a little factoid that,
as of twenty twenty five in Australia, this is call
according to official data from somewhere, as of twenty twenty five,
in Australia, it is statistically more common to meet partners
through dating plat forms then through traditional in person interactions.
Over half now meet their partners online.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I don't want to go there.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Don't going to go online and put a profile up.
Maybe not, but it's the way people are meeting.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I'm just waiting for Indre to knock on my door.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Okay, well we'll see I we're going to arrange that
and we'll otherwise I can't. We'll stretch that out over
a month of radio. I reckon.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Searching for indress, searching for searching for sugarman. Let's do it.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, like I said, three, does he have to be money?
Does he have to be moneyed?
Speaker 7 (09:38):

Speaker 2 (09:38):

Speaker 2 (09:48):

Speaker 3 (09:50):
He's a very sexy man.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
We've had a couple of nice stories people meeting their
you know, significant others. We do get a text from
T shirt T shirt No oh no, I can't read
that out God do it. Good grief. Let's just say
they met in a park and the guy revealed more
than she was expecting. Dear at, you know, even like
(10:12):
that by the third date alone in the park. Here
I am and here I am here it is.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
More crazy, Lisa. More podcasts soon. There's sure report on
ninety six AIRM.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Oasis and Mariah Carrier among this year's nominees for the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Oasis were nominated last
year too, but they didn't get in. Pipped by Cher
also nominated this year. There's Billy Idol, Bad Company, Outcast,
the White Stripes, Joe Cocker surprised he hasn't been out before,
Sound Garden, Cyndi Lauper, and Joy Division Slash New Order.
(10:54):
The inductees will be announced later in the year. It's
usually about October. Fans of Apple Tea for all mankind,
I know a few, and I am one will be
interested to hear. A spin off series is in the
works called Star City. If You've never seen it. For
All Mankind, which premiered in twenty nineteen and It's on
Apple TV, introduced an alternate version of history where the
(11:15):
Soviet Union landed on the Moon before the United States.
It's it's really very entertaining. Did We Love It? Star
City will explore the same story, but this time from
behind the Iron curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts,
the engineers, and the intelligence officers embedded among them in
the Soviet space program. Sean Diddy Coombs has filed a
(11:37):
lawsuit of his own. He's suing NBC for one hundred
million dollars, accusing the media giant of making defamatory statements
in its documentary Did He The Making of a bad Boy,
which of course is a play on bad Boy Records,
this company, which is on Binge. The suit claims it
airs false, reckless, and malicious information about Coombs, who is
currently in jail awaiting trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
(12:01):
I love it or hate it, and it sounds like
a lot of people hated it. Kendrick Lamar made history
with a Super Bowl halftime show. It is the most
washed in history. I thought it was okay, not and
I'm a Kendrick fat. Not the best I've seen, not
the worst I've seen. Officially, though, it pipped Michael Jackson's
nineteen ninety three show during one hundred and thirty three
(12:22):
point five million viewers. Jackson's had one hundred and thirty
three point four great per flick with Ben Outsha Morning band,
Good morning, Whre they go again? Where do we stand
on Bridget Jones in here? I said earlier, Obviously I
read the book, loved it, you know, way back when,
(12:44):
and I had a real problem with them casting an
American in a absolutely Quintus sent uk counting calories, not
killer jewels.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Everything is different, couldn't be more British than could you
be more British Breakfast.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Queen?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And I said, It's never been anything against Renees Elga.
I just couldn't get past them casting an American. And
I was never able to see any of the movies
as a result.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Yeah, well, look, I definitely empathized with that, and I
too thought it was very strange casting, and especially when
you look at some of the other actresses who were
in the mix to play her Kate Winslet. They thought
Kate Winslet was too young, so they knocked her back.
Helena Bonham Carter, Rachel Weiss they thought was too beautiful.
(13:35):
She even Kate Blanchette was in the mix and so that,
but they didn't cast any actual British people or Kate Blanchette,
and instead went for Rene Zellweger, who had kind of
done Jerry maguire. She was kind of on the trajectory
to becoming a Hollywood superstar. She's from Texas, not very British,
(13:56):
but the people, you know, I'm sure that the thinking
from the working title, people who you know behind pretty
much every great British wrongcom was that we want this
film to have international appeal. The book is an international
best seller, so we need a Hollywood stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
International appeal was a best seller.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
I know, I know, But regardless, regardless, they probably they
probably felt that they were vindicated with the success of
the first movie, Bridge Jones's Diary in two thousand and one.
It was a huge hitch made but I don't know,
three hundred million bucks, and Rene Zelweger of course got
an Oscar nomination for it, the first of her Oscar nominations.
The next film came out a couple of years later,
The Edge of Reason, it was not so great. And
(14:37):
then many many years later, in twenty sixteen, they came
out with a third film, Bridget Jones as Baby. That
was probably the worst of the lot. That was the
one where we thought, oh, as this franchise jumped the shark.
Yeah it had jump the kippup. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
It's the worst thing about that film was Hugh Grant's character,
Daniel Cleaver, who's a bit of a cad but a
lovable rogue.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
We all love him.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
He sort of dies, he apparently dies in a plane
crash or something at the start of the film, and
then he's not in it. So that's you know, and
so that's that's really a disappointment for the fans because
this film is really about that kind of that triangle
between you know, Bridget Jones and Daniel Cleaver and Mark
Darson played by Colin First and what it always was.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And for people who.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
Don't know, Helen Fielding wrote the book, but it was
based on her newspaper column and Bridget Jones was this
fictitious character that was based on her own real life friends.
A way before Sex and the City, it was the
real life Sex and the City and Bridget Jones was
designed to kind of lampoon British society and culture and conventions,
which is why everybody loves of being a woman exactly
(15:44):
in society. And it was absolutely brilliant at doing that,
and then to turn it into a novel. She channeled
pride and prejudice by Jane Austen mister Darcy in both
a lot of similarities. Blokes climbing out of bodies of
water and so and so that's kind of, you know, again,
very very British.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And do you go for the bad boy or the
mister Darsky?
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Totally, totally, And it's sort of a strong female character
who's trying to find her way in the world. And
the way Bridget Jones does that like she's a bit
of a mess. She doesn't like she's not perfect. She
embraces her swears like and wears comfortable underwear yes at
the time, and but and that's why she became such
a beloved character. And so I got the chance to
(16:29):
go over to Sydney on Monday and meet Renee the film,
and you know, she's not really like Bridget Jones in
real life. She's probably more like her character and Jerry
Maguire very very sweet, like super super sweet. But she
always seems like she's perpetually surprised. You know, she's got
that sort of look on her face. You ask her
a question, She's like, oh, so many of them. Yeah,
(16:50):
but she but she but she was very sweet. And
also I met her co stars in this film who
the new kind of love triangle? She would tell e g.
Four from twelve Years a Slave. He was also famously
Peter in love Actually he married Kieran Knightley and then
have his best mate rock up on his door on
Christmas Eve, houlding up the signs saying that I'm secretly
in love with you. One I said she would tell.
(17:14):
You know, looking back at that scene in Love actually
it's a bit creepy, isn't it. And he goes, oh,
I'm glad you said that. I told them on the day. Really,
isn't this a bit creepy? And they're like, no, no,
it'll be cute, And I was like, not for Peter, no, no.
So yeah, so it hasn't aged well. But as for
this film, Bridget Jones, mad about the Boy you might
be thinking about the last one. Gosh is there any
(17:36):
steam left in this franchise, please to report. It's probably
the best one since the first movie. I don't think
there's really much argument about that. So she we find
Bridget mourning the loss of Mark Darcy, Colin Firth's character.
He died four years before the events of the film
on a humanitarian mission in the Sudan, which is not
Mark Darcy kind of thing to do. And so she's
(17:58):
left raising her two kits kids, taking them to primary school,
and you know, really kind of in a bit of
a no man's land with her life. It's not going anywhere.
All of her friends, including her gun to colleges played
by Emma Thompson, who's amazing, convinces her to kind of
come back to the land of the living, go back
to work as a TV producer, start dating again, even
though now she's you know, in her forties and sort
(18:21):
of firing up Tinder for the first time in her
life and finding it a very different kind of environment
than it was, you know when she was you know
dating you know, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth in the
first movie. And so she ends up kind of involved
with these two men, one of them much younger, a
local park ranger played by Leo Woodle from White Lotus
Loads and so he's like in his mid twenties, dashingly handsome,
(18:45):
very very young. So there's some age gap stuff there
which is quite funny. And then you've got chutel Ideafour
who plays mister Wallaker, the science teacher from her kids' school,
you know, straight laced, no nonsense kind of guy who
is the opposite to Bridget Jones's kind of flights of
fancy and romantic love and all this kind of stuff. So,
(19:05):
you know, maybe opposite. It's a track there. I don't know,
you'll have to watch it see, but you've got a
lot of a lot of setups there for Bridget to
embarrass herself and then kind of maybe learn something about
herself along the way. And I think this film, this film,
like the first one, feels more genuine and grounded in reality.
The last two kind of got a bit silly. Yeah,
(19:26):
And this one, I think is another film where people
will watch this and and who followed Bridget Jones throughout
her journey and go, you know what, I relate to
this as well. I'm at the kind of similar stage
of life and things do change as you get older,
not always for the better, but you have to learn
to embrace the mess. And as Bridget would say, keep
buggering on, negotiate it best you can, except you might
(19:47):
drop a few f bombs in before Okay, all.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Right, well how many it should have been Kate Winslet's Nonetheless,
I'm going.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
To give it a very solid three stars. It's had
more sold, more pre sell tickets than bar Hugh Grant's inner.
Isn't it all the best lines? He's back from the dead.
Some some of the jokes are really close to the
Oh my God, but Hugh Grady watch it for him?
Good Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Has changed since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Guys More, Clezi, Oh Lisa More podcast soon.

Speaker 8 (20:47):

up later. So tell us about this show, the one
that people can see this weekend, The shore.
Speaker 8 (20:59):
Alisd Love Sake, Drugs.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
I'm a fairy two year old man. I've got a
family now, but in a past life but of a
party go and I guess it's a combination of all
the things I've done throughout my life and some of
the sort of crazy stories, and and now have fallen
into a bit more simplistic life of a family and
found love.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
You anything off limits in the story telling, Grant that you.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
Lily, not Now you find out a lot about me,
You find out all the good things and yeah, certainly
all the bad things.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I'm sure it's not more simple. I'm sure it's just different.
It's a shift to the left. Having a baby is
probably not necessarily simple.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Yeah, definitely not simple. I mean I've I do already
have two step kids, and I've got two step kids
and one favorite.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
For you, honestly, grant one favorite that must go well.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
At home?
Speaker 8 (21:51):
Oh gep that to myself, hopefully not less a way
of school on the radio.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I might tell you you're in the jiu jitsu, right,
you pretty handy.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
Oh, I've been a bit. I've been a bit slack,
to be honestringetringe season, few beers, you late night burritos.
So it's it's all been a bit sloppy, to be
honest with you. But hopefully get back in a bit
of a groove after the fest.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah, you'll be doing a bit of tapping to get
yourself out of trouble EARLYI your grew back.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Now you are clearly Scottish. I can tell from the accent.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Not.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I know, I'm very good. I'm very astute. Scottish and
Australian humor. Do you find it similar?
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Yeah, a big drinking culture, so he sort of tool
the man and then take the piss a little bit
and uh, pretty pretty similar. Yeah, I've been here ten years,
so have a true blue field drinking alito these days.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah yeah, well that's what bands he fitted in so well.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Right, Yeah, exactly, I.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
Have a pint lovely Sea words.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Of the does the accent because Joyce to get lost
in translation ever.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Or the definitely used to you know, like I remember
when I first came here, I went to a restaurant
ordered to coke cola and the barman brought me a
corner and the cob.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
That's absolutely yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
I think these days I have sort of quiet and
down toned it down a little bit and I think,
now my friend's back home, we're probably thinking about a posh.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Posh boy.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
You are. We mentioned that the one Scottish comedy is
the other show that you do you do during Fringe,
but it's sold out. However, how you so that the
rest of us who missed out can see it? You've
booked the show for the State Theater during the Perth
Comedy Festival in May. So yeah, correct, who's going to
be part of that lineup?
Speaker 8 (23:40):
So it's myself, Lady Joe Cordner and a man Ian
Tringle and David Callen, all four of us a sort
of top little, very funny. We do about twenty minutes each.
I think that show we've got the theater for one
hour during the festival, so it'll be fifteen minutes each.
You can't really go wrong. Thirty dollars tickets or for me,
I think around quarter to nine and the show's been great.
You know, we've all about eleven hundred and twelve hundred
(24:01):
tickets over the course of the Fringe Festival, and we're
going over the Melbourne Comedy Festival. I've already sold one
hundreds of tickets in Brisbane as well, where we're there
for a weekend, over the Anzac weekends. It's yeah, all round,
it's it's going absolutely off now.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Of course, Dave Callen is Irish?
Speaker 8 (24:17):
Do you absolutely?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I've often wondered. I love David, I've often wondered, is
Scottish Irish? Is it one of those things like where
if you ask a Canadian if they're Americans, they get upset?
Is that there's already that goes on because the accents
can beat to the naked ear, you know, sometimes similar?
Speaker 8 (24:37):
Yeah, I guess so, And I should clarify that David
Callen is actually a different from the very well known
Dave Callen.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Can It's not that Dave Callen.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Just just make out like it's just just a general
question about the Irish and Scottish thing.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
Yeah, very very competitive. I guess we're both like drinking
and both came here for the sunshine. We've got a
lot of Irish people coming to the shows.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
It's funny, isn't Because there's more than one dive hues
in comedy as well.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
Exactly there are the David Shoos in perif as well.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
My people speaking people born in Scotland. Jimmy Barns, who
I mentioned earlier, was born in Glasgow and he's often saying,
he has said to us before, when he grew up,
there was a cat with the titler was it was
a it was a tourist. Now it could be a
pretty rough kind of town. How about your past night.
Does it help you with your comedy from from being
at home?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Oh yeah, I definitely think so, you know, especially with
more of the sort of the drug relatable stuff in
this LSD show. You know, Scotland actually got about cocaine problem.
Don't know if you know that. So yeah, Actually it
takes so much of the stuff that the flag itself
originally was just a solid blue rectangle.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I heard the stories about our wastewater, so.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
You'll be.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
You don't go near it down in Bumbario.
Speaker 2 (26:03):

all kinds of directions. With Scottish comedian Grant Bushet talking
about his show, He's got a fringe show called LSD.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Dating sites can be a quagmire, can be brought with
the minefield. I've never been on one, so I don't know.
I've never done it five minutes. I wouldn't even know
how to post a profile.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Oh yeah, okay, I did a long time ago, put
someone else's photo on?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
How long ago? How long of dating sites been?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Around?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Three weeks ago? Don't want to life, I was twenty
years ago or whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Really they've been around that line, YEA, yeah, you know
what really do rs VP? Too many invitations.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I don't get many invitations. Okay, somebody who's that lanky,
but yeah, can be very shattering when you get knock back.
Well the wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Shuddering story and Nausie Bloke has revealed a former flame
he met through an online dating app Tinder, turned out
to be his long lost cousin. Hunter Smith said he
met the man on Tinder and later received an ominous
message after the relationship ended, saying we need to talk.
Mister Smith said his mind immediately raced with all the
(01:38):
possible scenarios, but he didn't think of this one. It
turns out their grandfathers were related but estranged, and there's
no way they could have known, he said, we're cousins. Distant.
She is a distant curse unless she's not too good
distant not so grieving when it happens to cle had
(02:02):
made the discovery, the sobering discovery by going down an
ancestry dot com rabbit hole. Some people, you know, these
are popular, and some people find that they they descended
from someone onboard the first fleet, or or they were
you know, they someone worked on the Snowy Hydro. Others
will have to settle for something less grand, like you
(02:23):
booked your cousin.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Morning to say that.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Already. We want to talk about dating app surprise, because
surely it happened, so.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
You've never been one.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
There's a there's two people on the current season of Maps,
two couples that already knew each other. One of the
couples is from here, good morning, and and another couple
is from overse The couple from overe had actually had
quite a few dates and it already and then they
you know, it had petered out, and then there they
were at the end.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Of the arm better word than Peter, and this one.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And these ones they had met once and there was
some ghosting went on, but so far, so good. In
the new series, they're they're seeing it that they're saying
it was you know, wrong time and all that, and
now they're seeing this is a new, you know, new
possible opportunity, very attractive couple together.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Did you watch maths so I don't have to think sacrifice?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Thanks, thank you for my service. But we want to
do about dating app surprises on thirteen ten sixty five,
or you can text us on zero four seven six
ninety six ninety six ninety six. Do just swipe and
live to regret it because it was someone you already
knew or you were related to, or someone you'd hoped
you'd never see again, or your boss or dear you
(03:48):
know law, or your husband of us screwed teacher. If
you accidentally met the husband of your best friend, what
do you what would you say? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Do you tell?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You dob?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I'd say.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
RSVP just for a brief period of time, about twenty
years ago. Earth shattering. When you put your profile up
and you get rejected constantly, Yeah, that happened. Yeah, But
I also I also saw quite a few people I
recognized that even they're old photos, because a lot of
people putting very young photos of them young selves on there.
I recognize people I knew, and at least two of
them in the time I was only on for about
(04:24):
three months, two of the people I knew were still married.
I'd put it, even put a photo when I was
six on there. If I was going to be doing that,
I know, Oh that's interesting. I only went on one day,
went on one day, but the girl reminded me so
much of my sister. I just couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
What if you accidentally hooked up with your own spouse.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Don't drinking peedaicle honors.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I think if you've been driven to a dating app,
you're probably not going to swipe on them anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, probably not unless they put a really good photo
on you didn't recognize them.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I got a text from a nameless person who said
I met a guy on e harmony and we dated
for four months and family they were lovely. I went
to his birthday party where I met his other girlfriend
that he also met on e harmony three months before
we started dating. He said he didn't think we'd ever meet,
as she lived north and I lived South. Okay, but
(05:15):
what an idiot that he invited you both to his
birthday party?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
How bizarre?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Dodged a dumble at there, and he was.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Studying the dumble studying a collection of girlfriends. What was
going on there? Starting the hair them up at a
Hammi hill good.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
I Joe, Hello, Joe, Hi, go for us so Tinder
and I swiped right on a nice looking dude.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yes, And we spoke for probably three or four days
back and forth. It was really nice us. Where he
lived he said South Forio and I said, oh, I've
kind of lived near South Forio as well, whereabouts Anyway,
turns out we were neighbors who lived next door.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
No, right next to it, actually next door.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Right.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Right next door. I've been listening to him playing music
and it was during COVID and he made a gym
out in his garage and his pump and iron.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah yeah, so had you already sort of fancied him
when you'd noticed him around the units.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Not really attractive but with that arrogant type of guy.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
But isn't that funny sweep behind the wall. Yeah, that's bizarre.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Well that's either going to work out, well, it'll be
really awkward. Yeah, it was very awkward.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
But luckily he's he's since moved.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Oh yeah, okay, he's moved his gym somewhere else.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Good. Thank god.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Chance COVID came in really handy. Oh can't leave the house.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Bet you were disappointed when you saw that removal truck
backing up.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Joe Hi static, Thanks Joe worries, guys, have great day,

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Welcome, Thank you very much. Christine. Did you get a

was in a different state, very kind of sad, lonely
look and then looking for love and went on speed
date and found my now has been since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And started with a speed chat. How many minutes do

Yeah, yeah, been absolutely happy ever after.
Speaker 3 (08:29):

I'm glad you got that surprise. Not the surprise that
Hunter Smith who met a guy on Tinder and found
out later that he was his cousin.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
His cousin after the event.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So speed date is the app.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah that Christine is storing Christine this morning.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That producers have just put up a little factoid that,
as of twenty twenty five in Australia, this is call
according to official data from somewhere, as of twenty twenty five,
in Australia, it is statistically more common to meet partners
through dating plat forms then through traditional in person interactions.
Over half now meet their partners online.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I don't want to go there.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Don't going to go online and put a profile up.
Maybe not, but it's the way people are meeting.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I'm just waiting for Indre to knock on my door.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Okay, well we'll see I we're going to arrange that
and we'll otherwise I can't. We'll stretch that out over
a month of radio. I reckon.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Searching for indress, searching for searching for sugarman. Let's do it.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, like I said, three, does he have to be money?
Does he have to be moneyed?
Speaker 7 (09:38):

Speaker 2 (09:48):

Speaker 3 (09:50):
He's a very sexy man.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
We've had a couple of nice stories people meeting their
you know, significant others. We do get a text from
T shirt T shirt No oh no, I can't read
that out God do it. Good grief. Let's just say
they met in a park and the guy revealed more
than she was expecting. Dear at, you know, even like
(10:12):
that by the third date alone in the park. Here
I am and here I am here it is.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
More crazy, Lisa. More podcasts soon. There's sure report on
ninety six AIRM.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Oasis and Mariah Carrier among this year's nominees for the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Oasis were nominated last
year too, but they didn't get in. Pipped by Cher
also nominated this year. There's Billy Idol, Bad Company, Outcast,
the White Stripes, Joe Cocker surprised he hasn't been out before,
Sound Garden, Cyndi Lauper, and Joy Division Slash New Order.
(10:54):
The inductees will be announced later in the year. It's
usually about October. Fans of Apple Tea for all mankind,
I know a few, and I am one will be
interested to hear. A spin off series is in the
works called Star City. If You've never seen it. For
All Mankind, which premiered in twenty nineteen and It's on
Apple TV, introduced an alternate version of history where the
(11:15):
Soviet Union landed on the Moon before the United States.
It's it's really very entertaining. Did We Love It? Star
City will explore the same story, but this time from
behind the Iron curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts,
the engineers, and the intelligence officers embedded among them in
the Soviet space program. Sean Diddy Coombs has filed a
(11:37):
lawsuit of his own. He's suing NBC for one hundred
million dollars, accusing the media giant of making defamatory statements
in its documentary Did He The Making of a bad Boy,
which of course is a play on bad Boy Records,
this company, which is on Binge. The suit claims it
airs false, reckless, and malicious information about Coombs, who is
currently in jail awaiting trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
(12:01):
I love it or hate it, and it sounds like
a lot of people hated it. Kendrick Lamar made history
with a Super Bowl halftime show. It is the most
washed in history. I thought it was okay, not and
I'm a Kendrick fat. Not the best I've seen, not
the worst I've seen. Officially, though, it pipped Michael Jackson's
nineteen ninety three show during one hundred and thirty three
(12:22):
point five million viewers. Jackson's had one hundred and thirty
three point four great per flick with Ben Outsha Morning band,
Good morning, Whre they go again? Where do we stand
on Bridget Jones in here? I said earlier, Obviously I
read the book, loved it, you know, way back when,
(12:44):
and I had a real problem with them casting an
American in a absolutely Quintus sent uk counting calories, not
killer jewels.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Everything is different, couldn't be more British than could you
be more British Breakfast.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Queen?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And I said, It's never been anything against Renees Elga.
I just couldn't get past them casting an American. And
I was never able to see any of the movies
as a result.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Yeah, well, look, I definitely empathized with that, and I
too thought it was very strange casting, and especially when
you look at some of the other actresses who were
in the mix to play her Kate Winslet. They thought
Kate Winslet was too young, so they knocked her back.
Helena Bonham Carter, Rachel Weiss they thought was too beautiful.
(13:35):
She even Kate Blanchette was in the mix and so that,
but they didn't cast any actual British people or Kate Blanchette,
and instead went for Rene Zellweger, who had kind of
done Jerry maguire. She was kind of on the trajectory
to becoming a Hollywood superstar. She's from Texas, not very British,
(13:56):
but the people, you know, I'm sure that the thinking
from the working title, people who you know behind pretty
much every great British wrongcom was that we want this
film to have international appeal. The book is an international
best seller, so we need a Hollywood stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
International appeal was a best seller.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
I know, I know, But regardless, regardless, they probably they
probably felt that they were vindicated with the success of
the first movie, Bridge Jones's Diary in two thousand and one.
It was a huge hitch made but I don't know,
three hundred million bucks, and Rene Zelweger of course got
an Oscar nomination for it, the first of her Oscar nominations.
The next film came out a couple of years later,
The Edge of Reason, it was not so great. And
(14:37):
then many many years later, in twenty sixteen, they came
out with a third film, Bridget Jones as Baby. That
was probably the worst of the lot. That was the
one where we thought, oh, as this franchise jumped the shark.
Yeah it had jump the kippup. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
It's the worst thing about that film was Hugh Grant's character,
Daniel Cleaver, who's a bit of a cad but a
lovable rogue.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
We all love him.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
He sort of dies, he apparently dies in a plane
crash or something at the start of the film, and
then he's not in it. So that's you know, and
so that's that's really a disappointment for the fans because
this film is really about that kind of that triangle
between you know, Bridget Jones and Daniel Cleaver and Mark
Darson played by Colin First and what it always was.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And for people who.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
Don't know, Helen Fielding wrote the book, but it was
based on her newspaper column and Bridget Jones was this
fictitious character that was based on her own real life friends.
A way before Sex and the City, it was the
real life Sex and the City and Bridget Jones was
designed to kind of lampoon British society and culture and conventions,
which is why everybody loves of being a woman exactly
(15:44):
in society. And it was absolutely brilliant at doing that,
and then to turn it into a novel. She channeled
pride and prejudice by Jane Austen mister Darcy in both
a lot of similarities. Blokes climbing out of bodies of
water and so and so that's kind of, you know, again,
very very British.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And do you go for the bad boy or the
mister Darsky?
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Totally, totally, And it's sort of a strong female character
who's trying to find her way in the world. And
the way Bridget Jones does that like she's a bit
of a mess. She doesn't like she's not perfect. She
embraces her swears like and wears comfortable underwear yes at
the time, and but and that's why she became such
a beloved character. And so I got the chance to
(16:29):
go over to Sydney on Monday and meet Renee the film,
and you know, she's not really like Bridget Jones in
real life. She's probably more like her character and Jerry
Maguire very very sweet, like super super sweet. But she
always seems like she's perpetually surprised. You know, she's got
that sort of look on her face. You ask her
a question, She's like, oh, so many of them. Yeah,
(16:50):
but she but she but she was very sweet. And
also I met her co stars in this film who
the new kind of love triangle? She would tell e g.
Four from twelve Years a Slave. He was also famously
Peter in love Actually he married Kieran Knightley and then
have his best mate rock up on his door on
Christmas Eve, houlding up the signs saying that I'm secretly
in love with you. One I said she would tell.
(17:14):
You know, looking back at that scene in Love actually
it's a bit creepy, isn't it. And he goes, oh,
I'm glad you said that. I told them on the day. Really,
isn't this a bit creepy? And they're like, no, no,
it'll be cute, And I was like, not for Peter, no, no.
So yeah, so it hasn't aged well. But as for
this film, Bridget Jones, mad about the Boy you might
be thinking about the last one. Gosh is there any
(17:36):
steam left in this franchise, please to report. It's probably
the best one since the first movie. I don't think
there's really much argument about that. So she we find
Bridget mourning the loss of Mark Darcy, Colin Firth's character.
He died four years before the events of the film
on a humanitarian mission in the Sudan, which is not
Mark Darcy kind of thing to do. And so she's
(17:58):
left raising her two kits kids, taking them to primary school,
and you know, really kind of in a bit of
a no man's land with her life. It's not going anywhere.
All of her friends, including her gun to colleges played
by Emma Thompson, who's amazing, convinces her to kind of
come back to the land of the living, go back
to work as a TV producer, start dating again, even
though now she's you know, in her forties and sort
(18:21):
of firing up Tinder for the first time in her
life and finding it a very different kind of environment
than it was, you know when she was you know
dating you know, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth in the
first movie. And so she ends up kind of involved
with these two men, one of them much younger, a
local park ranger played by Leo Woodle from White Lotus
Loads and so he's like in his mid twenties, dashingly handsome,
(18:45):
very very young. So there's some age gap stuff there
which is quite funny. And then you've got chutel Ideafour
who plays mister Wallaker, the science teacher from her kids' school,
you know, straight laced, no nonsense kind of guy who
is the opposite to Bridget Jones's kind of flights of
fancy and romantic love and all this kind of stuff. So,
(19:05):
you know, maybe opposite. It's a track there. I don't know,
you'll have to watch it see, but you've got a
lot of a lot of setups there for Bridget to
embarrass herself and then kind of maybe learn something about
herself along the way. And I think this film, this film,
like the first one, feels more genuine and grounded in reality.
The last two kind of got a bit silly. Yeah,
(19:26):
And this one, I think is another film where people
will watch this and and who followed Bridget Jones throughout
her journey and go, you know what, I relate to
this as well. I'm at the kind of similar stage
of life and things do change as you get older,
not always for the better, but you have to learn
to embrace the mess. And as Bridget would say, keep
buggering on, negotiate it best you can, except you might
(19:47):
drop a few f bombs in before Okay, all.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Right, well how many it should have been Kate Winslet's Nonetheless,
I'm going.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
To give it a very solid three stars. It's had
more sold, more pre sell tickets than bar Hugh Grant's inner.
Isn't it all the best lines? He's back from the dead.
Some some of the jokes are really close to the
Oh my God, but Hugh Grady watch it for him?
Good Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3 (20:14):

I'm a fairy two year old man. I've got a
family now, but in a past life but of a
party go and I guess it's a combination of all
the things I've done throughout my life and some of
the sort of crazy stories, and and now have fallen
into a bit more simplistic life of a family and
found love.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
You anything off limits in the story telling, Grant that you.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
Lily, not Now you find out a lot about me,
You find out all the good things and yeah, certainly
all the bad things.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I'm sure it's not more simple. I'm sure it's just different.
It's a shift to the left. Having a baby is
probably not necessarily simple.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Yeah, definitely not simple. I mean I've I do already
have two step kids, and I've got two step kids
and one favorite.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
For you, honestly, grant one favorite that must go well.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
At home?
Speaker 8 (21:51):
Oh gep that to myself, hopefully not less a way
of school on the radio.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I might tell you you're in the jiu jitsu, right,
you pretty handy.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
Oh, I've been a bit. I've been a bit slack,
to be honestringetringe season, few beers, you late night burritos.
So it's it's all been a bit sloppy, to be
honest with you. But hopefully get back in a bit
of a groove after the fest.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah, you'll be doing a bit of tapping to get
yourself out of trouble EARLYI your grew back.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Now you are clearly Scottish. I can tell from the accent.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Not.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I know, I'm very good. I'm very astute. Scottish and
Australian humor. Do you find it similar?
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Yeah, a big drinking culture, so he sort of tool
the man and then take the piss a little bit
and uh, pretty pretty similar. Yeah, I've been here ten years,
so have a true blue field drinking alito these days.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah yeah, well that's what bands he fitted in so well.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Right, Yeah, exactly, I.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
Have a pint lovely Sea words.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Of the does the accent because Joyce to get lost
in translation ever.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Or the definitely used to you know, like I remember
when I first came here, I went to a restaurant
ordered to coke cola and the barman brought me a
corner and the cob.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
That's absolutely yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
I think these days I have sort of quiet and
down toned it down a little bit and I think,
now my friend's back home, we're probably thinking about a posh.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Posh boy.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
You are. We mentioned that the one Scottish comedy is
the other show that you do you do during Fringe,
but it's sold out. However, how you so that the
rest of us who missed out can see it? You've
booked the show for the State Theater during the Perth
Comedy Festival in May. So yeah, correct, who's going to
be part of that lineup?
Speaker 8 (23:40):
So it's myself, Lady Joe Cordner and a man Ian
Tringle and David Callen, all four of us a sort
of top little, very funny. We do about twenty minutes each.
I think that show we've got the theater for one
hour during the festival, so it'll be fifteen minutes each.
You can't really go wrong. Thirty dollars tickets or for me,
I think around quarter to nine and the show's been great.
You know, we've all about eleven hundred and twelve hundred
(24:01):
tickets over the course of the Fringe Festival, and we're
going over the Melbourne Comedy Festival. I've already sold one
hundreds of tickets in Brisbane as well, where we're there
for a weekend, over the Anzac weekends. It's yeah, all round,
it's it's going absolutely off now.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Of course, Dave Callen is Irish?
Speaker 8 (24:17):
Do you absolutely?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I've often wondered. I love David, I've often wondered, is
Scottish Irish? Is it one of those things like where
if you ask a Canadian if they're Americans, they get upset?
Is that there's already that goes on because the accents
can beat to the naked ear, you know, sometimes similar?
Speaker 8 (24:37):
Yeah, I guess so, And I should clarify that David
Callen is actually a different from the very well known
Dave Callen.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Can It's not that Dave Callen.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Just just make out like it's just just a general
question about the Irish and Scottish thing.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
Yeah, very very competitive. I guess we're both like drinking
and both came here for the sunshine. We've got a
lot of Irish people coming to the shows.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
It's funny, isn't Because there's more than one dive hues
in comedy as well.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
Exactly there are the David Shoos in perif as well.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
My people speaking people born in Scotland. Jimmy Barns, who
I mentioned earlier, was born in Glasgow and he's often saying,
he has said to us before, when he grew up,
there was a cat with the titler was it was
a it was a tourist. Now it could be a
pretty rough kind of town. How about your past night.
Does it help you with your comedy from from being
at home?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Oh yeah, I definitely think so, you know, especially with
more of the sort of the drug relatable stuff in
this LSD show. You know, Scotland actually got about cocaine problem.
Don't know if you know that. So yeah, Actually it
takes so much of the stuff that the flag itself
originally was just a solid blue rectangle.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I heard the stories about our wastewater, so.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
You'll be.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
You don't go near it down in Bumbario.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Depends if you're doing anything tomorrow. Grand is in LSD
Love Sex Drugs this Saturday at the Terrarium on Saint
George's Terrace in the city. Tickets are through fringeworld dot
com dot au and then back in May for the
Perth Comedy Festival with one hundred percent Scottish comedy with
a one hundred percent Scottish David, could you say a
day for us? Thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 8 (26:29):
Thanks very much, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
That's funny and it's weird, same names, so busy, I know, because.
