born in sixty five, so sixty seven fifty nine. Complete
this by January twenty. They've given me a date to
the four days. I've only got four days. So what
it's got is, of course there's something in blue capitals.
No capitals. I think government was enough. So there are
four lines of things for me to press which are

(01:49):
in blue. First of those is log onto your micuve
account and complete the update. The second one is a
beauty review of the attached documents for detailed instructions. The

January twenty. I've got four days lease to take care.
If no action is taken by this date, your services
may be temporarily suspended until the necessary updates well and
truly made. And say, I won't get my pension now
if you fudge my age up by eight years floody
fifty nine? Right do you scammer? If you want my details,

(02:32):
if you fudge it down by eight years, you can
have all my bloody details. Right, you can have all that.
If you want me to press the blue thing you
want to put a virus into my device, I'm happy
with that. If you fudge my name, if you go
down eight years, I'll be fifty one. Right, said that,

In fact, you can send me photos of Brad Pitt
in a hospital gown and say it's you and you

(02:53):

million dollars. But don't fudge it the other way.

Speaker 2 (02:59):

Speaker 1 (03:04):

Speaker 4 (03:08):
For another Fringe Festival act with Clazy and Lisa.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Claire Hooper is.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Going to be in town next week with her show

fifth at the Record Buttic gets her available through fringeworld
dot com dot au. She hasn't quite touchdown yet. So morning, Claire, Claire.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Morning, I've sent my children ahead of me, have you.
We're already in that weltering post summer and and I
will catch them up next week.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
You know what we're not We haven't had I don't
want to put the you know, the kibosh, I don't
want to jinx it.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
But we haven't had a sweltering summer.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yes, but just in time for your arrival, We've got
a couple of forty degree days next week. Now tell
us about nothing to See here?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Sorry, sorry, Claire. A good shange.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
This is a lovely little comedy show about how humiliated
we are every day in public. Like it's just the
reality of being human beings, is that we are gonna
We're going to do little stumbles on the street when
we're not in the mood for it. You know what,
I like one of my favorite things to spot at
the moment when you're out of a cafe or it's

(04:26):
just somebody waiting at someone who hasn't seen them yet.
It's just like the most beautifully, painfully gorgeous like that.
Don't be harmed by it, but it amuses me so much.
It's like, no one they haven't seen you yet, because
the rest of us have. We're all looking, we're all invested.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Now, at what point do you just give up?

Speaker 5 (04:46):
Stop?

Speaker 2 (04:47):
They're not going to.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Say, well, you can really tell what sort of gambler
someone is. For me, like, people just go, I'm going
to cut my losses. I'll just walk to them. And
then there's the people who are like, I've already gone
all I'm sticking it out there.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, but even more frustrating, pretend since they've seen you
and wrappers.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, exactly. At a gig if you're a black perth arena,
you see the people doing it there, like from like
sixty meters away. It's so frustrated the way.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
Yeah, it's absdorable.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
You know when I do it myself and I feel
like I never feel more like my own mother than
when I'm waving across the crowd.

Speaker 6 (05:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Have you ever left the toilet at a restaurant or
something with the skirt or dress tucked into the back
of unickers.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
No, but I believe it's waiting for me, which is
why I just don't wear dresses like the keys. Never
never wear the jail.

Speaker 7 (05:40):
Wear a dress.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, is the day it's going to happen.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Safety in the pants.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Is there a male equivalent?

Speaker 2 (05:49):
There is?

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yes, there is fly down definitely, Yeah, definitely yes.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Toilet paper of the shoe.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Oh, any kind of toilet paper anywhere is bad, isn't it. Yeah?
How about flying through the like Supergirl? Clear? Have you
done that? Because it's so bad, especially if you're not
in your eighties.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Oh look it's yeah, that's right. But I'm grateful to
be young enough. But it doesn't taught me in hospital.
But the number of humbles I've taken in public, you.

Speaker 7 (06:12):
Know, there's I did that.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
There was.

Speaker 5 (06:14):
I made a list of stories of me falling over,
and I wouldn't even remotely fit there. I reckon I've
got ten percent of them all fitted in. One of
the ones that doesn't even make it into the show
happened down on that down on that beautiful corner on
Rose Street, right before the old Horseshoe Bridge, and I
ran in his hot tip. If you're wearing summer shoes

(06:36):
to keep your feet cool. What happened is your toes
flare to keep them from falling off when you run.
And I ran in wide legt pants and I went
intow shoes and my right toe caught in the left
pant and I hobbled myself right as I hit the
traffic lights. I mean, you know some people juggle at
the traffic lights. I just I just performed sideways than

(06:56):
for batics, and I had to take myself into an
alley for a little cry.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Recovery.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
You see that a lot in Northbury very well. My
favorite is when someone trips when they're walking and then
does a little jog to recover, and it's.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Like, I meant to do that. I was. I was
always planning on running that little bit there.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
It's a durable that's I mean, that's what the phrase
woops to Daisy was invented.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, well, it's only nothing to see here now.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Can you believe it's been twenty years since your first
TV comedy spot, which was on a Rove Live in
two thousand and five.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
It is wild?

Speaker 5 (07:40):
Well, I mean anyone that anyone that's been in the
same job for twenty years does the same thing where
you're like a student. I never would have thought it
would last this long. Yeah, it's I mean, but to
be honest, I find it even weirder that I've been
married for nearly as long, Like that's a surely surely

(08:01):
with you for a freshen up. But no, I know
he sticks around.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
He's still there. He's got the consistency going. Claire and
I saw a couple of posts on your Instagram this week.
Was at that first comedy gig you did that first
Row appearance when Ron Moss Ridge from Bold was there.
What was it like with the perfect jaw?

Speaker 5 (08:20):
Well, actually, do you know what clarly that is? I mean,
that doesn't not explain why I stayed in the big
for twenty years. When you do your first TV spot
and you get to that Ridge from Bold and the Beautiful, well,
this business is worth it. I'm going to meet all
my heroes still just Ridge from the Bold and the Beautiful,
but I'm waiting for another celest body.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
I interviewed.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
His you know how that was There was always that
the three I was gonna say three way, but it
was not a three way. That was the brook Brook
Logan Brook. And then there was the gorgeous brunette. I
interviewed Brooke once. She was a bit sort of not
very not very talky.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
She wasn't really warm. She's still on the show, so
she was flogging.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Her keftans and I gave her every opportunity to flog
her kelf tans, but she was not really she didn't
really come to play, unlike Ridge and unlike the woman
that played Stephanie, she was unreal to live you But anyway.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
What she's incredible.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
She was on Good News Week.

Speaker 8 (09:19):
She's so much fun.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yes, I think she might be gone now plugging.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
A comedy show and you've brought up a beloved back
that has made Yeah, then's to move on.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Tell us about a bite to eat with Alice?

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Oh yeah, that was super fun?

Speaker 2 (09:36):
What a trick?

Speaker 5 (09:38):
Like it's always when you get offered a spot on
a even cooking show. Yes you'll take it because I can't.
I cannot cook and I love a tasted But I
was like, yeslie, she made the most delicious tarrots butter
chicken for me, and then.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Oh wait it was the greatest.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
And then I was like, I am Alice, definitely, I
am going to go and make leave myself and I
have not.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah, the show with cookbook author Alice says Loveski, Yeah,
designs the menu based on your likes.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Did you promise any any better than that?

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Did you promise anyone you're going to cook it? Clear
and let them down because you've got a bit busy
in the schedule.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah, look it is. It is because I'm too busy
important now I can't remember how to make it. Cooking
just falls out of my head.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Oh really, you have to take notes of go back
and watch the show again. You need to ask you
are you're coming home to Perth of course on a
forty one degree day next Tuesday when you're not working?
Which is your go to Perth beach or location? Where
would you head to?

Speaker 5 (10:45):
Mate? I mean, I'm not going to say anything cool,
but I lived in Scarborough.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, algia you go.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Absolutely, it's a bit different these days.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
He's had a controversial answer.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
You're trying too, had to be cooled, you say coott
but yeah, no, scards is all good.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
No, I don't try and be Cool's market Cot?

Speaker 2 (11:07):
You can't where near Cott of slow.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Beat, And if you do, it's embarrassing because there's all
those fancy cars around you.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yes, well, we will see you at the beach and
in town for nothing to see here next week the
twentieth to the twenty fifth at the Wrecor Butt and
you can get tickets through Fringe world dot com dot
au clear.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
Thank you so much, Nice to see you more Clezy,
more podcasts soon.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
For anyone who's ever tripped on something that wasn't there,
waved across the room to someone who didn't see them,
had to spend too much time in a busy airplane toilet,
or suffered another small setback publicly humiliating themselves.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah, those flying through the air ones when you're an
adult and you're not eighty something, so embarrassing. It happened
to someone who worked in this building last year who
was waving to me with her new cup, fresh cup
of coffee, and she went flying over the footpath. I
felt really quite bad, I said, buying other coffee.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Feel responsible.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
I did feel responsible because she took the time well
wave to it. She waved back, and since she went
for a super girl.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
No, no one likes to fall over.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
What about coming out of the toilets with your dress
tucked into your panty hose?

Speaker 1 (12:14):
You ever done that, not that I'm going to tell
you about, because Lorie's this thing, my wife.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
How did you ever open up the phones thirteen ten
sixty five, or you can text us on zero four
seven six ninety six ninety six ninety six.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
How did you publicly embarrass yourself?

Speaker 1 (12:28):
And I did it on the golf course? Lease. I've
only ever played one game of golf. It was a
media golf day about fifteen twenty years ago. Did I
fall out of the buggy I'm waking. I wish I had.
That would have been less embarrassing than the way I played.
It was some professional guy who was showing us around,
and the look on his face when he saw me
have some fresh air swings and a girl from Channel
seven called Antoncliffe was sitting here. I nearly killed her

(12:48):
with one of my shots, one of my hits, whatever
you call it in golf, because I've never played since.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
For any there's nothing like the ability of the human
body to get up and walk away like you didn't
just break your ankle when you fall over in the streets.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
You're speaking from experience.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
I am speaking from experience. I've done that.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
I have fallen it because I've got a terrible dodgy
ankle that has failed me on many occasions. I have
fallen over in the streets and you get.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Up, you just run fine, I'm perfectly fine. And then
you know, you get around the corner and you realize
I can't walk on this.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Absolutely, I'm not fine at all. Isn't it funny though,
that people, you know, good Nature's people go to help,
And it's worse if they do, because just so embarrassing.
It rubs the embarrassment in.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
It does rub the embarrassment in on the text line,
Joanne in lower Chittering says, on a packed train coming
home from a Christmas party many.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Years ago, I was sick out the doors into.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
The gap between the train and the platform. That's how
they say, mind the gap, mine the gap.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Oh that's gross. We just played Neil Finn with crowded house, right.
I remember being at His Majesty's one night. Neil Finn's
playing guitar and planing along. I can't remember what song was,
Well were you are whatever it's called? Mean to me?
He's playing me to me and he's walking on to
and he went straight down in the front of the.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Stage and Chris Martin, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Exactly, and then stood up and kept playing the guitar
like he what a true The show must go on,
and he could have been in a lot of pain.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
It's the musicians version of didn't spill.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
A drop, Very very clever and not planned.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Ronelle in Rolling Stone, good morning, welcome Renelle.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
What did you do?

Speaker 8 (14:21):
Good morningn't you? Bali and like most other people, get
a scooter with a family. We all have legitimate most
of my clascens is driving through a little town and
we realized we're doing the wrong route. Has to make
some kind of turn and in front of everybody in
that area and my family, the motor over little scooter

(14:43):
slipped and I am down on the floor. So yes,
the family looks back and say, what on earth happened?
In your mom you can actually ride and the motor bicle?
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (14:55):
You're up the next minute, era Bali ditch sky exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Thanks, No, I have embarrassing I blame this could have
blame your equipment or at least some of the pavement
on the road or whatever. Look at it and go
what happened there?

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Christy and Boldavis on the text says I was walking
with my children trick or treating, and this was the
trick I guess Christy. There were a lot of people
around because it was a busy main street. People actually
drive to this street for the Halloween decorations. Just as
a bus full of people was driving past, I stepped
in a dibbot hidden.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
By the law and my ankle rolled. Well I can
relate to that, and I went down like a sack
of spud.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
So they needed help to get back up and had
to continue on the walk. Because if nothing happened, it's
the title of Claire Hooper's showed nothing to see.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Nothing to see here, always embarrassing, especially we get a
round applause from people going past cards.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yeah, hey, welcome.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
What happened a.

Speaker 9 (15:53):
Long time ago when I think I was about sixteen,
I was playing basketball and I thrown the ball in
and the game.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
Had sort of moved to the other end of the court.

Speaker 9 (16:03):
But my girlfriend was on the sideline and she took
a photo and I was pulling a funny face, but
I didn't realize the game had turned back towards where
I was coming from, and I run straight into the
girl with the ball and got a foul.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh yeah, that's not good.

Speaker 5 (16:20):
Not good in front of like a lot of people
sitting on the side.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah that's right. Yeah, maybe thinking you did it deliberately.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Thanks to you too, bye.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, easy to embarrass yourself playing sports. Absolutely done that.
Trying to play three on three basketball once, yea, so embarrassing.
I was just bad. I was playing against playing sporting
one down at Lord's and the opposition had Adria embarrassed
in Chris Main wearing you know, real sports people.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Against me if you had the hish over those two.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
But I couldn't play sport like real sports people. Alita
athleets in their day Louise and joodl up.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
What's your story Louise?

Speaker 7 (16:58):
Yeah, Hi, we have a in a past one night
with quite a few people, and there was a few
people there that actually didn't know very well. So we've
had dinner and then we've decided to put the good
old Wii on. So with this particular game, we're on
the beach. People were coming at you with swords and
they coming quicker as you go through the levels. So

(17:21):
I'm swinging the baton trying to fight them off with
my imaginary sword. So I stood up because I couldn't
quite get aim particularly right to give it all the
best I could give. But as I've swun, I've actually
started farting. And they weren't silent once. These were loud ones,

(17:43):
and every time I did it because I was laughing
at the same time, and I kept doing it over
and over and.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Choice do I throw the game or do I just
keep going?

Speaker 7 (17:57):
By this stage everyone was in laughing. The more I laughed,
the more it happened. So that was my embarrassing moment.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
That's hilarious that that definitely fits.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
The brave for a game away and ended up in the.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Next start being probably thank you Louis, thank you Sia

and first day I was there, I watched the trench
speed racing with the boats. I was out there for
about I was out there for about six hours, you know,
drinking beers, you know how youngsters do it. And unfortunately
that really really burnt. And the next week I went

(18:51):
and played my first footy game up there. It was
a derby, so the whole tower was there and as
I run out during the speed racing. I had long
shorts on. Now I have footy shorts on. So it

Speaker 3 (22:15):
A very good chance though to take it out for
a real pain. And then you've also got Jeremy Strong,
who probably stole the Apprentice.

Speaker 2 (22:24):

And a new anthology.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Book about bon Jovi is coming out this year au
Thord and narrated by John bon Jovi. The book covers
the band's four decade career and it's limited to just
fifteen hundred copies, which.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Isn't many, isn't it. They're all signed by John.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
You can get in early to reserve your copy at
because I don't think it comes out to all about June,
but get into reserve your copy at the bon joviebook
dot com. Okay, fifteen hundred will get snapped up pretty quick,
can imagine.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
You imagine pretty costly too, because very much into collectors item.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah. I don't know what they're going for, but.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
There you go, all right, a comprehensive look at what's
going on. I love the fact that the two former
succession actors are both nominated against each other. Yes, strong
and that's unreal great.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
The flick with Ben good Morning Morning.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Norms are out today, so you know it's all about
a million.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
Yeah, yeah, Adrian Brodie, the brutalist Wicked got kind of
like a cold shoulders.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, yeah, I expect Wicked.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Yeah, but and I wish look, I wish this to
start the year off. I was bringing you a movie
that was happy, we could really have some fun with.

Speaker 7 (24:02):
No.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
It's the sort of movie where you have to bring
your box of tissues into the cinema or you'll be
leaving you a sort of red raw eyes from rubbing them.
It's a it's a weepy they call it a rom com.
We Live in Time. Really well, that's you know, that's
kind of what it is. And there is there is
some humor, but Pald Sydney sweety No, no, No, it's

(24:23):
definitely not. Definitely not It's more like, you know, like
a sort of the fault in our stars some of
these other movies where you go in and you go, okay,
this it's going to be pretty tough slog And it's
about this couple. It's relationship between Tobias played by Andrew Garfield,
who is a sales representative for a breakfast cereal company.

(24:45):
Pretty sort of unassuming, you know, maybe a little bit boring,
this kind of dude and Almont played by the Great
Florence Pue A Almot Almot the Great played by the
Great Florence Pew, who was a former figure skater turned
really really brilliant young chef, and so she's kind of,
you know, feisty, emotional, all this kind of stuff. So
they're sort of opposites a track situation, and the film

(25:07):
tells a story of their relationship and the fact that
that Almet Florence has to deal with this terminal diagnosis.
And so you straight away you go, okay, well, this
is going to be sad. It's going to be a
tear jerker, you know, Marley and Me kind of stuff
we're talking about here.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
But that's a dog.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Maybe a few least maybe you won't find this sad
at all as long as the dog survives. But the
way they tell this story is in a nonlinear way.
So instead of just going okay, the couple meet at
the start, and then they get to know each other,
they have new courtship, they get married, they have a kid,
and then at the end someone dies. That's kind of
standard in this it's all chopped and changed and moved around.

(25:49):
You get the terminal diagnosis in pretty much the first scene,
and then it jumps to something happens towards the end
of their relationship, and then it jumps back to how
they first met, and then it jumps to having a kid,
and it jumps to them talking about having this.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
There's a lot of jumping.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
There's so much jumping, so much jumping around, and that
is probably the biggest fault with this film, because when
you've got actors like Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh, you
just want to get out of their way, just let
them do their job.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
But the whole we live in time is that that's
jumping about you.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
So the idea behind it is that any relationship is
really just kind of, you know, sort of a sum
total of individual moments that have more meaning than everything else.
Like you don't need to see the bit where you're
sitting on a couch on a Tuesday night binge watching
squid games. That's not really that important to the relationship.
It's you know, it's these other moments. You know, where
you got married or where you first met, and so

(26:43):
you can kind of get the totality of the relationship
if you just focus on those moments. Did you need
to jump jumble them around, probably not I Reckon. It's
threatened by John Crowley, who previously gave us the movie
Brooklyn in twenty fifteen, which is a real slow burned drama.
I love amazing film. It was nominated for Best Picture

(27:04):
at the Academy Awards at the time. So you know,
if you like that movie I Reckon, you'd give this
a chance and you'd go, okay, like, I appreciate what
John Crowley the director is bringing to it, and obviously
you appreciate Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh because their performance
is a really good.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Florence in particular is incredible.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
She is She is so good, and even though the
film is often quite frustrating because of the time jumping,
you're just happy to see her on the screen. Anytime
she's on the screen, and it is pretty sad towards
the end.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
You know, don't mind the time jump, but to maybe
find some skill how to use your skills in making a.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Just feels unnecessary in this case, because you know, the
actors just do it do it well on their own.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
You don't need to.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
Kind of like, if you didn't have actors of this caliber,
you'd probably go, Okay, we need to do some kind
of a plot twist to make it a bit more
interesting and elevated above just being a kind of standard,
you know, sort of weepy romance film. But they're so
good you just want to, you know, lea lead.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Them to let them cook.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Well, what what kind of score are we giving it?

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Well, because of the talent of the acts and the
director and the director, I give it three very silent.
Some people will really love it, some people will find
it very frustrating. I think everybody will find it pretty sad,
so they go.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
We had a story, there was a story around the
other day talking about how this year is just absolutely
chockers full of sophy equals sequels coming out.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
There's sequts about something every week.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
But I feel like there's some actually some other good movies,
standalone movies coming out this year.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
So huge.

Speaker 4 (28:36):
Its going to be a huge year because last year
was a right off because of the previous year's actors
and writers strike. Finally we're finally catching up to everything
that was supposed to come out last year. So it's
going to be a bumper year.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
The next few weeks alone, I I mentioned, You've got
some great stuff, really really great movies, all right, that's
all right.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Guys crazy and Lisa
