Today Ben O’Shea reviewed the new Snow White movie and he didn’t hold back!
Clairsy has been getting his floors sanded and had some new kitchen cabinetry put in so he and his wife have been camping in their own home and it’s getting a bit annoying to say the least.
Do you have a weird phobia? CLairsy & Lisa wanted to know all about it when they opened the phones and text line. You guys really do have some odd ones.
The Stranglers have been around for over 50 years and today Clairsy & Lisa spoke to their bass player JJ Burnel who have a love for W.A and our wine.
In The Shaw Report, the Diddy trial has been pushed back again and there’s a new streaming service on the block.

Benoche gives a scathing but hilarious review of Disney's Snow White.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And Spider Spider. Sorry we took your calls on Random Fears.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Great the flick with Benosha.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Well, ben o'she I feel like there's we've been talking
about this, you know, in the behind the scenes chatter
mcququite a while.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Oh absolutely, Hi ho, Hi ho.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It's off to the cinema. We go to finally see
snow White, the live action remake from Disney, and it
has been controversial for really a.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Couple of years now.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Firstly, and probably least importantly because of the casting of
a Latina actress in Rachel Ziegler from West Side Story
as snow White. There was some credits of the Internet
who weren't happy with that, just as they weren't happy
when they cast a black actress as the Little Mermaid.
And so that was really always quite ridiculous because Rachel
Ziegler is an amazing actor, Like if you saw in
(01:18):
West Side Story, she has got a set of pipes.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
She is incredible.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I recall ever, hearing where Snow White was from. All
I know is she had black hair and ruby lips,
so you know, I mean exists.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
And in this case, it's not that you know, her
skin is as pure and white as snow. It's her
character and which is which is ultimately what Snow White
was all about, right, friends to the birds and the
animals and the downtrodden and the little people. And then
you know, from then it became even more controversial because
Rachel Ziegler then started talking sort of some pro Palestine stuff,
(01:53):
which is her right, which is her right to do
that in her own private life. It becomes a bit
awkward though, when your main cast mate is an Israeli
in a gal gadote, so you know, so then there
was reports of some friction between those two.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Does dont play so she plays an evil queen, but
the equal queen from wonder One. She look in the
mirror and say, mirror, mirror on the wall, who is that?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Well you Well, at the start when the mirror says, oh,
it's you. Of course it's you, it's like, it's like, no, darb, mirror.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Tell mirrors don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
And then and then when the mirror is like, oh,
you know, maybe there's actually someone else, it's like, really,
you got eyes.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
You need to polish this mirror. Is it blurry on
your side? But no, this is so that's where it
does come a bit a bit unstuck at that point.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
But but but and so and so, But it follows
kind of a similar, similar storyline to the original cartoon
is now basically one hundred years old. But they had
to they had to update it a little bit because
you know, you look at the cartoon now with sort
of a modern lens and you go, okay, this is
really an ode to contract killing and and you know,
(03:10):
non consensual affection, and.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
So there's probably some issues there that we need to update.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
He is not to look at it through a modern lens.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
You can't.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
It's a fairy tale.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
And so so really the storyline has been changed quite
a bit. Instead of you know, the Prince Charming coming up,
now it's a band of bandits who snow White joins
in with to fight against the queen. And so there's
there's a lot going on, okay, and all of this
stuff is honestly quite average. But the thing that is
the most appalling of all is the seven dwarfs, who
(03:41):
are CG characters computer generated characters. And so there was
some controversy over this, Like Peter Dinklish, the Great Peter Diinglish,
the great little person actor from a Game of Thrones, Amazing, amazing.
He's come out, you know, in the past year or
so and said, well, you know, like you made all
this fuss about, you know, sort of a person of
color of snow white, But but what about this CG
dwarf situation? Is this really okay? And he's got a
(04:04):
great point. You wonder why they couldn't have actually cast
actual little people.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
In these roles.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
And if that's not bad enough, the CG effects that
they use are terrifying. Like you're talking about the uncrowding valley.
It is like a horror movie watching these dwarfs running around,
have big heads, huge noses, the grotesque, grotesque, really very
hard to watch. Like it's like there are scenes some
(04:33):
of the some of the musical songs, like the High
Home Musical number, which is one of the classics of
the original. Like I would describe it as visual vomit.
That is hard to watch. It is bashful and happy
and dope.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
They're all horrible.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
It's watchable, scary, creepy, we got creepy, we got nightmares.
If we got don't go with until remembers of the school,
we've got dramatic, you name it.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
We've got it.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And then it's also and it's also that you know,
the new songs by Passeck and Paul, who are an
amazing songwriting duo who did the songs in La La Land,
they're all forgettable. All the new songs are so average.
Rachel Ziegler does her best, but there's only so good
that she can do. When you've got dialogue that's terrible.
You know, one point, her love interest, the kind of
the chief of the bandits. You know, she's talking to
(05:28):
another character about him and she goes and she goes
to this other character. Well, look, you know Jonathan is
you know, he's nice, but he only thinks about himself,
and you go, hang on a minute. In the very
scene before this, we shore we saw him take a
crossbow dart for you, And now you're saying he only
thinks of himself. He nearly killed himself to save you.
Like it's some of it just makes no sense at all.
(05:48):
And poor old Galgadot is she is so cheesy trying
to be like theatrical. It's like, even she is terrible.
I love her, I think she's so great, but she's
what the heck are we.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Even doing with this movie.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
It's you know, all the reasons that it was controversial,
it's not controversial for those the reasons. It is terrible.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
It is. It is absolute live poison apple.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
You know, I was I was hoping that there was
a poison apple, and halfway through.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
My popcorn breakfast.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
There's got to be something to put it, put me
out of my misery. Here it's good, Little and most
of these Disney live action movies are not good. The
Little Mermaid was also a stinker. This is the same
level it is. Maybe it's worse, actually, honestly, maybe's.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
And if they're if they're this offensive, then don't make
them leave them alone.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
It's like they just don't know. It's bizarre.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
So how many Mirror Mirror on the Wall. You're broken,
you're giving it.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, Mirror Mirror on the Wall, which is the worst
movie of them all this year. It's snow White one
and a half.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Sounds general.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That's for Rachel's.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
She doesn't deserve, she deserves better bandits.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah, Prince Charming.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
There's no Prince Charming in here.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Algadd is still hot. Yeah, oh yeah, okay, yeah, thanks Ben,
Thanks guys. As you know, sometimes you have a conversation
and an idea sounds great, like when.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
A couple of ours, you mean, famous last words, famous.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Last words or great idea is going to pop into
your head. So Laurie and I a few months ago,
we're having this chat when a second of our cupboard
doors in our kitchen fell off, and we went, let's
do a bit of renovation, get some new cabinets and
new cupboards.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
That should be fairly straightforward, some kitchen cabinets.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, great idea at the time, until you're into your
third week of camping at home, because we went, oh,
while we're at it, it's yeah, it's been rented for
a while. This place it's looking a bit rough the floor.
We'll get that sanded as well.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
They look magnificent, absolutely magnificent.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
But the new kitchen cupboards and the sanded floor means, yeah,
two and a half weeks now of camping and I'm
over it now.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I don't understand why kitchen cupboards mean you have to camp.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Because the applies has had to get taken out, so
we have no kitchen. So there's stuff everywhere. So I'll
run down what my place looks like, and of course
I put my head, do you do.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
This what it's got to do with your bed, kitchen, cabinets?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It feels like camping, feels like we're living in a
caravan because you've got some stuff, okay, plates and cutlery
and the laundry okay, because it can't be in the kitchen.
The temporary kitchen set up with a microwave, a toaster
and a George Forman grill is in our bathroom. The
food from the pantry is in boxes in the spare shower. There.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
You're really cleared it out for a cabinets cleared.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It out absolutely well, you could. There's dust everywhere. So
power cables are the tripping hazard in the in both bathrooms.
So the other day I just wore In fact, last
night I walked past one part of the house. It
was just in the hallway, and I spotted these random
items together, an oven mitt, some pink slippers, a box
of brand and a tea towel. Our place is a
bloody mess. Lease, it's shocker.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
It's like a radio competition.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It does, doesn't it. What's in the room opened for that.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Room?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Room so excited, So.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Don't give me the idea.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
No, what did you say? What did you do that for?
Look what you made me do? So, like I said,
I'm a little bit over it. After I feel a
bit like I'm living in a caravan because the bathroom's
pretty small where we've.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Got the caravans.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, yeah, it's not as good as caravan. Then it
should be a great name, having a comedy van. The
floor being sealed takes a week to properly a seal
or whatever it's done. You know, likes ink.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
But look magnificent.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It looks great. It looks great.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
But i'd camp for a month to have the floors
that you've your new floors.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Come on over. You can join the camp and in
the morning I go, good morning, campers. So for that
to seal properly, so you can't really put your furniture
back down until it's done. That's what the guy who
did the floor said, and I said, okay, so on
our house is quite echoey right now. So on Tuesday night,
this is no kid. Lauren and I sat down on
cushions in the very very loud room to watch White Lotus.
(09:54):
And as you know, White Lotus has got a lot
of loud bits, loud music and sound effects. Yes, this
brilliant a Mark Wuid isn't that the guy who made it?
He's going because it builds the drama and builds the
suspense of this show. But some of the dialogue is
almost quite whispery. So I'm sitting there with the right
going up and down, up and down in the echoing house.
We sat there watching White Lotus, enjoying. I think it
(10:15):
was episode four because we hadn't caught up because we've
been camping. And there's a scene where Jason Isaacs his
robe opens up and he flashes he's Dirk Diggler, and
Laurie fell off the cushion and I went, well, if
we've been not camping and you've been on a chair,
you would have fallen off the couch onto the floor.
So what time are you coming over? Because we're quite
happy to have a a camper.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
With the absolute ultimate of all respect for what you're
going through.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Sure, boom hoot.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Know that I have slate that I want out and
I have to move out. I not only do I
have to move out, all my furniture has to come
out of the house if I want that slate removed
and boards to be put down.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Because you can't go.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
They won't let me go over the top. I thought
I could go over the top. No one will do it.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I looked into that once.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
If anyone know anything about this, many any experts on
flooring out there is there absolutely nothing I can do
to go over the top of slate.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Thinking you have to like put a concrete screen or
something over.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I don't know what they're saying. We'd have to bust
up the slate. Everything would have to come out.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That's a nightmare. That's a night that's jack of.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Central practically, you know, it's like it's it's it's borderline impossible.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I don't think am I supposed to? Davis would never
talk to you. Don't never talk to you again after that. No,
I do, well, okay, I do.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
To most of them, not necessarily to the whip crack.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
There you go, more crazy, more podcasts soon.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Do you know David Foster. He's a music producer. He's
hugely successful. You might not know his name, but he's
you know. He's worked with Celene Dion and Kenny Rodgers
and Whitney Houston, emer Blue and Jewel. He's done stage staff,
he's done movie staff. He's done a lot of stuff
with Diane Warren, the prolific Diane Warren. He used to
be married to Gigi and Bellahadid's mum, Yorlanda. He's currently
(12:11):
married to a seventeen year old Yeah, she's a lot
younger than yeah musician. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Well.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
David Foster has admitted he will walk up sixty five
flights of stairs to avoid an elevator. He's terrified of elevators.
He's yeah, so he's seventy five. I was trying to
think of the top my head. His age. He's opened
up about his fear of elevators after being asked about
his workout routine. So I try to go to the
(12:38):
gym three times a week. But because I won't take
an elevator, pretty much all the stairs is my You
knows my exercise. He says, I've taken millions of stairs
in my life. He walked up sixty five flights of
stairs to use the swimming pool at the Marina Bassands
in Singapore. He said, we were staying there while we
were shooting Asia's Got Talent, and from time to time
(13:00):
I wanted to go to the pool because it gets hot. Yeah,
so I had to walk up sixty five flights to
get I want to be air lifted off again, I reckon.
David Foster could probably swing that. I'm dack on top
of Marina Base at be hop of the time.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You get back to your room, though, wuldn't you so a.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Fear of elevators? It definitely is a fear of elevators
when you'd rather go up sixty five flights of stairs.
What is your random fear or phobia? Do you have one?
Mine is just spiders.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
You hate spiders, don't you?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah, rather a snake wrapped around my neck, yeah than
a spider.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
You've done the snake thing, haven't you had?
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I have no problem with snakes at all.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
See, I did have a snake thing and I did
that and I'm okay, lovely, Yeah, the magnificent creatures. Mine's
more probably claustrophobia than anything.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Claustrophoe.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You know when you see those a float tank yet No,
I haven't yet.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I want to hear how you go.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
With Yeah, I think I'm going to be Okay, I reckon.
I'm going to because a lot of psychology, isn't it.
But when I see a TV share a movie and
you see those people that get buried in a box
alive lives, that freaks me out. Was that the one
where they had the little one little ed tube and
going out and that was it? Don't freaks me. I
can't watch it.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Don't watch the Swedish original, okay, because it doesn't have
a happy American endine not going there.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Just thinking about it just gives me shadows. But that's
probably myphobia. Yeah, sometimes in tunnels and things. And I
did go down a irrigation pipe with some mates once
and I freaked and came back out.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
It's not too keen on the idea of tight spaces,
like you know those cave people that squeeze things and
then get stuck upside down. And that's just that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
That is crazy.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
We are getting a lot of texts about your random phobias.
Adrian says clowns. Need I say more, No, Adrian, you don't.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Need to clowns.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Horrible Mark and Jandercott says deep waters okay, yes, and
what about this one? Donna in Currambine says, my phobia
is buttons, not your normal buttons on your blouse, etc.
So she's okay getting dressed, but jars of old buttons
in my head, I just imagine the grotty fingers that
have touched them in the past. I will never be
(15:11):
able to pick a spare from a jar.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Well, don't watch Coraline, whatever you do, a few buttons
stop up in that one from memory?
Speaker 5 (15:21):
How are you doing? I got a few. I don't
like deep water. If I can't see the bottom, I
won't I don't do that either. But yeah, that's not
the one I'm talking about today. Mine is spiders, and
I've got actually I've had some stories about those. One
of them. I used to be a security guard and
I was working down in Henderson watching the cameras one
(15:42):
night and I can see one of the gates is open.
I'm like, well that shouldn't be. So I drive all
the way down there in the little buggy and I
stop it there. I'm on the phone to a friend
and I turn all the lights off, walk around. I
can't find a reason why walk up to the center,
wipe my hand across the center and go to massive
huntsman on my hand, and I freaked. I I threw
(16:04):
her and my friend is cracking up, laughing it's not
funny now. All she does now sends me photos a spiders.
The spider even named the spider HANDI, And yesterday I
got four pictures on Facebook Messenger on spiders.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I hate spiders way, I'm terrified of them. I have
I have a theory that a lot of single car
car accidents are caused by a spider because if I
flipped down my visor and a huntsman fell in my lap,
I would my reaction would be involuntary. I would just
know I would just go straight off the road into
(16:40):
a tree.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Talking about that, that's actually the other funny one. I
was turning a corner in my car one day, and
you know how you look in your side mirror on
your door before you turn. Well, I had one. I
had one sitting right there and I had the window down.
I slammed on the brakeleft the car in the military.
I was out the door and I was gone.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You did run.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Car.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
I left the car in the middle of the stree
I was gone.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I feel your face.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
So this flame destending your photos. Has that helped you?
It hasn't overcome your fear you. It hasn't worked up.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Just annoying.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeahs at thanks someone right there same as you.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Least truck can deal with that.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah, call the emergency service.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Absolutely, that's what you're in the r C for.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Isn't the jaws of life on it? That thing you know?
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I got. I was threatened with banned, being banned from
Facebook once for a comment I made about spider that's
too true, a spider on someone's wall in their house,
and I said I would I would set my house
on fire.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Facebook threatened to ban me.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Well, they're picking a bit of language randomly.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
It was like, get a sense of humor, Facebook.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Obviously, mister Facebook, who was who was looking probably wasn't
a person was It was not as you're in the
same territory as even Wayne period.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Wayne gets it. Wayne wouldn't have banned me. He understand.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Wine's your peep.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Sam in swan View has an interesting one. She says, Sam,
I'm not too sure if it's a Sam Manther or
a Samuel. Mine is crabs. I can't touch or eat them,
and even looking at them freaks me out. I even
have nightmares about them. But I love to go crabbing. Weird.
Oh look up, the things just came up, just completely
(18:24):
hang on.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
To pop up in the corner.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I hate to pop up anyway. I love to go crabbing, though,
which is weird. But all I can do is pull
the net up, and if there is some in there,
I freak and I have to give it to someone else.
One time a crab fell out of the net. I
just about jumped out of the boat and there was
one on the beach a couple of weeks ago, and
I reckon they should have shut the beach down. But however,
loves to go crabbing, So yes, Sam.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
That is unusual if she's not Canarian.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Stephen Beckenham says, I hate heights. Originally as a child,
I wasn't until the day a drongo. A drungo friend
of my dad's hung me over the edge of the
top of the King's Park tower by my ankle. Yeah.

of a high drop and they wriggle and struggle. Will

Speaker 1 (20:44):
What about when you go to the did doesn't they
whack a bit and you have to tell them beforehand
they have to put something else into for some reason.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
When it's wet, doesn't get that squeak.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's okay.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
So if you wet it, like I said, if I
need to touch it, I'll just pour water, all gotcha? Right?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Okay, So I'm trying to imagine giant taking a nail
polish off and everything could really interrupt your life.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, all right, thanks, have a good day. You never
tell stuff like that, any kind of weakness to your
work mates, hamber at home, no, especially sense of humor.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Certainly, don't tell anyone here you go home with it
in your handbag.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Who would it would be so child if.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I kept everything that I found in my handbag that
had been placed by one ding claires.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
You're blaming me Greg Susie.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
There are others. One day I went down to my
car and there was a life size cut out of
someone sitting on top of it. Who was that something?
Was some movie promotion.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
As well or someone else.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Maybe it was Greg. It's always something He's got to
be idiots. Tim and Bill here. This made me laugh
him because I feel a bit the same way. He
has a bit of a phobia about those inflatable really
tall stick.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
People promotion and stuff are outside.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Gar yards and promotions and things that used for advertising.
They are the weirdest things they are, especially when they
you know, they they droop. Yeah, like either there's no
wind or someone got a hold.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
It's like when Santa blow up generated die.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yes. Listen to this one from Russ. This is funny Spiders.
Two nights ago, I had a Huntsman spider give me
the finger, I hear Russ, So I emptied half a
can of more teen on him. I thought that was
the end of it, but then a few minutes later
he got up and continued on his way. They do that,
They try and let a little bit of time pass,
thinking you'll go away, basically saying is that all you
(22:47):
got Is that all you got? Right after a few
choice words, I got the biggest flat surface I could
find and played whack a mole with him, and then
I flushed him down the toilet. He's probably gonna come
back and bite me on the.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Bum quite possibly. You never know. It's going to divers Daniel,
good morning, welcome wedding.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
What you got? What's your your random fear of phobia?
Speaker 9 (23:05):
It's tall women and I can't explain it's yeah, I'm
intimidated by them.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
How tall are you, Daniel?
Speaker 9 (23:13):
I'm about six to one, Okay, Yeah, Yeah. If I
see a tall woman coming towards me, I literally head
down and I sort of veer away.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
So taller than you?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yes, yes, do you see many, mate, because there are
a lot of tall women out there now, I've.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Got a couple of couple of work at the moment. Yeah,
And it's like literally, yep, I'll take the alternate route.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Really.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah. Nipball Awards once and that somebody whose girls it
was bizarre. You would have hated that, Dan, You go
to the wouldn't go, It wouldn't go. What if she
was the love of your Yeah, she was like the
best person you ever met.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Yeah, it probably wouldn't happen because to put the text,
if someone like Elmer person, yes, and she was literally
looking at me with those come get.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Me on the road because she was like if she
was six or four or something, that would freak you out.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Wow, Yeah, I would cross the road instead of actually
coming across. I can't explain it.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
You don't have to know.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
It's okay.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
There's no judgment here. That's very interesting than Daniel B.
Speaker 9 (24:26):
Worries.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
That's the most interesting, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
You know there are shows, and there are shows, and
next Tuesday night, March twenty five, at the ASTA, there's
going to be a show the Stranglers are playing. Tickets
are available through Ticke Tech and we are very fortunate
to have JJ Burnell join us this morning.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Hello Legend, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Basic guitarist and co lead vocalist of The Stranglers. Now, Jjo,
there's something that's always baffled me a bit about the Stranglers.
You've always been described as British iconic punk band. But
I mean, clearly something transcended that genre because to me,
you I don't think punk is the first thing that
(25:13):
would come to my mind. You just had a genre
to yourself, a unique sound to yourself.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Well, thank you for that. Yeah, I think that that
the punk label is kind of limiting or else we
extended it, expanded the definition of it. But we grew
up in that period with all the other bands playing
the limited circuit that we were allowed to play at
that time. But fortunately for us, you kind of tried
(25:43):
to experiment and see how far we could go with
the limitations of our very limited talent.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
So thanks for service on that.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
Well, we won't dictated by commercial reasons. So you know,
some things we try and some things succeeded and other
things failed. But you know, if you love music, you
try to extend all the sources of inspiration and try
to be inspired by those you know.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, I do the contract what you're saying them, and
I think it was your individual and your your pull
the resources and skill and then the carriage to move on,
you know, La Folle and oral sculpture. There's beautiful albums
with some beautiful sounds, and then you're selling yourself short.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
I think that, Well, you know, you either if every
musician wants to be successful, so once they if you've struggled,
and then you find a formula a lot of musicians
suddenly stopped developing because they keep up with that formula.
But I don't think love's too short. You know. Let's
see how far you can go, and sometimes you will
(26:48):
carry an audience with you and other times you won't.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Well, the answer to how far you can go? This
tourist part of the band's fiftieth anniversary celebrations. Did you
always say think would be celebrating fifty years or amazing?
Speaker 8 (27:03):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Pitching yourself?
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Well, last year was the fiftieth, and I think we're
extending the fiftieth to this year. Here's for the next fifty.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yes, yeah, where does it begin?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
Man?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
You think about well, seventy seven to nineteen ninety are
a lot of albums in those those early days. Mate,
I have to go back to the first album to say,
Peaches is one of my favorite basslines for yours for
you coming to the party there, that was just like that,
and I think of you and I think of the band,
and it just takes me back. Can you play a
gig without playing Peaches?
Speaker 7 (27:36):
Yes, sir, Well, you know you can't fool an audience. Yeah,
And if you're just going through the motions the band
is boring for the band and the so we have
occasionally dropped Peaches for instance, and even Golden Brown. Really
(27:57):
you didn't feel feel for these songs anymore, and then
you rediscover them a bit later.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Oh classic? So well, I mean it must. I do
feel for you, though with so many top forty singles,
it's hard to curate a set list because we'd be
here all week. Yeah yeah, and then you have the
cities expecting you.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
Well, that's true. It's I think, as we're saying, France
long behind the embarrassment of riches.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Yeah, yeah, exactly right for choice.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I mean a song like Golden Brown. Yeah, Dave Greenfield's
beautiful music. We're very sad when we lost him, but
it was right at the start of COVID time, wasn't it.
But when you when you play Golden Brown, it must
you must feel like a tribute to his music because
he came up with that. Didn't you have a beautiful keyboard?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, you speak of France. That's where you live right
right in Rose Country there.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah, that's well, that's tough. I have.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
In the south Y my motorcycles days of the year
sounds gastly like if I was living in w A.
You know, yeah, yeah, you know what. A few years
ago we three of us ride motorcycles and a few
years ago we were really fortunate to be loaned three
motorcycles by Trials dealership I won't make yes in Perth
(29:13):
and they under these We asked them if we could
rent out or hire bikes and they said, no, we
don't do that, mate, but we can have them.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
You can have those.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Was to ride down to Market River, yes, being French wine, yes,
and I think Margaret River produces some of the very
best wines in Australia.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
You won't get any argument.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
So we wrote down there, we rode down to Margaret River.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
What well, as someone who lives in the south of France,
it would be remissive not to really to compare the two.
Tell me what was it like touring in Japan in
the seventies. So, yeah, I believe you were like the
only foreign band at the time to tour there.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
Yeah. I don't know if we were the only ones,
but certainly it was. It was a revelation. It was
they were the most polite Augiens that we were used
to rally British audiences. And we're also we had some
(30:16):
very roudy and they sat quietly, and then at the
end of each song they stood up and applauded and
then sat down again.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
There's no Japanese mosh pitch.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
There was no scrapping. Can you tell me you talked
about pictures. I'm obsessed with that bassline, But can't you
tell me what happened to that bass guitar, because I
believe there's a story.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
The bass well interesting enough. Adam Clayton from you two
made an offer for it last year so that they
could put that bass guitar in the YouTube museum, which
they're developing in Dublin. So I sold it to him
because it was unplayable. Yeah, I've smashed it up so
(31:03):
many times way back then that it was you couldn't
play it. But he still wanted it for their YouTube museum. Yeah,
brilliant YouTube. And now the prowd owners of that particular guitar.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Being the bass player, he would have loved that. That
would have met a lot of him to be able
to purchase that JJ.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
You're fifty one years in but do you remember the
first time you heard yourself on the radio?
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Oh yeah, yeah, sure, And I kept on hearing it
back back again. I've kept on replaying it. Yes, you know,
in those days, you could record a cassette off the radio,
you know, you had those cassette players and just pressed
the recording record. Yes, the radio.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
You had to hope that the DJ didn't talk all
over the beginning radio jobs. Yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Well, I just quickly before you go. Things have changed, right,
just a little bit from the days when you guys
would be fighting and scrapping whilst on tour. You know,
blood on the stage, blood on guitars, that kind of stuff.
What's what's it like now for you? I'm sure you're right,
it's much.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
It's much say, people actually come to see us, not
to chase us off the stage.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Love it.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Well, you're gonna love the Asta Theater. It's a beautiful
place to for a show. The Stranglers are playing the
Asta Tuesday, March twenty five. Tickets are available through ticke Tak.
Lovely to catch up with this morning JJ all the.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
Best note, Thank you very much, and we're so looking
forward to coming back to wol.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
We hope you can get down to Mirgrants. Yeah, down
to a cellar door or two.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Absolutely, well, you know, we last time we were there.
We just we went down the river, yes, yes, and
right up to the edge of the ocean. We also
went up to a little town on the what's it
called Bird Strange Bird or the city. Yeah, we went
(33:03):
to a classic bike Yes, we rode up to Seabird.
There was a eucalyptus forest on the way and there
was also a racing circuit. Were doing a classic bike races.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Perfect. Well. Look, if you can't don't have time to
get down to Margaret River, just going on a bike
into the Swan Valley. There you'll find some nice wine too,
so I will I can vouch for that.
Speaker 7 (33:34):
But if we can't get down to Margaret, we can
at least drink some Barret River produce.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Absolutely definitely have that on the riders.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
Thank you, have a great day.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
More more podcast soon.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
The Sure Report on ninety six.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
I might have missed the memo on this, but we
have a release date for season two of the Last
of Us with Bella Ramsay and Pedro Pascal, and we
don't have to wait long. It's out April fourteen.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
This is where we live, I say the fed.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
What's insane.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
People, what's house happ most?
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Look There is one catch though, it's not going to
be on Binge this time. We have to stream it
on Max, which actually launches here in Australia on March
the thirty first. Now I believe it's going to be
eleven dollars ninety nine a month for a standard membership,
jumping to fifteen ninety nine after the first year. You
can get the basic plan, which means it has ads
(34:55):
for seven ninety nine a month for the first year
and that'll jump to eleven ninety nine after that. But
Max is going to carry a lot of the stuff
that's from HBO, so that's things like the White Loaves.
So I'm assuming that because a lot of that is
on Binge now they're saying that, for example, the first
season of The Last of Us you can watch it
on Binge right now, but once this hits it'll transfer
(35:19):
over to Max. So it sounds like a lot of
stuff is going to be making the move. Okay, I
have to decide which one's going to go. What a
great show, Yeah, body has to go for me to
make room for the new one. To mix them up.
I like to drop them for a while and then
get back together with them, and you know.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Fun if they're all owned by one company and they're
just playing with us little pawns.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
A new development is delaying the Diddy trial, which is
shaping up to be the entertainment world trial of the century.
The trial has been pushed back to May the twelfth
after a supplementary indictment was added alleging that Diddy force
staff into extended work hours with insufficient rest and threaten
their physical and professional health. The delay will give both
parties extra time to get their evidence in order. Taylor
(36:06):
Swift has been crowned Billboard's biggest female artist of the
twenty first century. Well so far anyway, thus far this century,
of course, we're a quarter of away into it.

Sea she's filed for divorce from Daniel Bernard after just
two years of marriage. Did you know they have a baby,

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Little baby handstand babet role? What is with people? Somersault?
I don't even I can't even tell you if it's
a boy or a girl. But then again, I'm probably
not meant to cast a spursions on it. Possibly it's
eleven months old, but I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Expect Seea to have a kid called care you know
what I mean? Sure be funny if she did. Somersault,
come here, Somemrsault put that down. Somersault, salty in the
back of my hand. Somersault, you can't say that either.

the Bunsen burners on stage and even Paul Stanley said
the uzzy fans were quite quiet at first because we
couldn't believe they were there. Oh, we're absolutely terrified, but
we couldn't believe they were there. It's like this is
like nothing else. In nineteen eighty Moscow Olympics, they were

Speaker 1 (00:29):
And Spider Spider. Sorry we took your calls on Random Fears.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Great the flick with Benosha.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Well, ben o'she I feel like there's we've been talking
about this, you know, in the behind the scenes chatter
mcququite a while.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Oh absolutely, Hi ho, Hi ho.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It's off to the cinema. We go to finally see
snow White, the live action remake from Disney, and it
has been controversial for really a.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Couple of years now.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Firstly, and probably least importantly because of the casting of
a Latina actress in Rachel Ziegler from West Side Story
as snow White. There was some credits of the Internet
who weren't happy with that, just as they weren't happy
when they cast a black actress as the Little Mermaid.
And so that was really always quite ridiculous because Rachel
Ziegler is an amazing actor, Like if you saw in
(01:18):
West Side Story, she has got a set of pipes.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
She is incredible.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I recall ever, hearing where Snow White was from. All
I know is she had black hair and ruby lips,
so you know, I mean exists.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
And in this case, it's not that you know, her
skin is as pure and white as snow. It's her
character and which is which is ultimately what Snow White
was all about, right, friends to the birds and the
animals and the downtrodden and the little people. And then
you know, from then it became even more controversial because
Rachel Ziegler then started talking sort of some pro Palestine stuff,
(01:53):
which is her right, which is her right to do
that in her own private life. It becomes a bit
awkward though, when your main cast mate is an Israeli
in a gal gadote, so you know, so then there
was reports of some friction between those two.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Does dont play so she plays an evil queen, but
the equal queen from wonder One. She look in the
mirror and say, mirror, mirror on the wall, who is that?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Well you Well, at the start when the mirror says, oh,
it's you. Of course it's you, it's like, it's like, no, darb, mirror.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Tell mirrors don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
And then and then when the mirror is like, oh,
you know, maybe there's actually someone else, it's like, really,
you got eyes.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
You need to polish this mirror. Is it blurry on
your side? But no, this is so that's where it
does come a bit a bit unstuck at that point.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
But but but and so and so, But it follows
kind of a similar, similar storyline to the original cartoon
is now basically one hundred years old. But they had
to they had to update it a little bit because
you know, you look at the cartoon now with sort
of a modern lens and you go, okay, this is
really an ode to contract killing and and you know,
(03:10):
non consensual affection, and.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
So there's probably some issues there that we need to update.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
He is not to look at it through a modern lens.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
You can't.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
It's a fairy tale.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
And so so really the storyline has been changed quite
a bit. Instead of you know, the Prince Charming coming up,
now it's a band of bandits who snow White joins
in with to fight against the queen. And so there's
there's a lot going on, okay, and all of this
stuff is honestly quite average. But the thing that is
the most appalling of all is the seven dwarfs, who
(03:41):
are CG characters computer generated characters. And so there was
some controversy over this, Like Peter Dinklish, the Great Peter Diinglish,
the great little person actor from a Game of Thrones, Amazing, amazing.
He's come out, you know, in the past year or
so and said, well, you know, like you made all
this fuss about, you know, sort of a person of
color of snow white, But but what about this CG
dwarf situation? Is this really okay? And he's got a
(04:04):
great point. You wonder why they couldn't have actually cast
actual little people.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
In these roles.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
And if that's not bad enough, the CG effects that
they use are terrifying. Like you're talking about the uncrowding valley.
It is like a horror movie watching these dwarfs running around,
have big heads, huge noses, the grotesque, grotesque, really very
hard to watch. Like it's like there are scenes some
(04:33):
of the some of the musical songs, like the High
Home Musical number, which is one of the classics of
the original. Like I would describe it as visual vomit.
That is hard to watch. It is bashful and happy
and dope.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
They're all horrible.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
It's watchable, scary, creepy, we got creepy, we got nightmares.
If we got don't go with until remembers of the school,
we've got dramatic, you name it.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
We've got it.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And then it's also and it's also that you know,
the new songs by Passeck and Paul, who are an
amazing songwriting duo who did the songs in La La Land,
they're all forgettable. All the new songs are so average.
Rachel Ziegler does her best, but there's only so good
that she can do. When you've got dialogue that's terrible.
You know, one point, her love interest, the kind of
the chief of the bandits. You know, she's talking to
(05:28):
another character about him and she goes and she goes
to this other character. Well, look, you know Jonathan is
you know, he's nice, but he only thinks about himself,
and you go, hang on a minute. In the very
scene before this, we shore we saw him take a
crossbow dart for you, And now you're saying he only
thinks of himself. He nearly killed himself to save you.
Like it's some of it just makes no sense at all.
(05:48):
And poor old Galgadot is she is so cheesy trying
to be like theatrical. It's like, even she is terrible.
I love her, I think she's so great, but she's
what the heck are we.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Even doing with this movie.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
It's you know, all the reasons that it was controversial,
it's not controversial for those the reasons. It is terrible.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
It is. It is absolute live poison apple.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
You know, I was I was hoping that there was
a poison apple, and halfway through.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
My popcorn breakfast.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
There's got to be something to put it, put me
out of my misery. Here it's good, Little and most
of these Disney live action movies are not good. The
Little Mermaid was also a stinker. This is the same
level it is. Maybe it's worse, actually, honestly, maybe's.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
And if they're if they're this offensive, then don't make
them leave them alone.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
It's like they just don't know. It's bizarre.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
So how many Mirror Mirror on the Wall. You're broken,
you're giving it.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, Mirror Mirror on the Wall, which is the worst
movie of them all this year. It's snow White one
and a half.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Sounds general.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That's for Rachel's.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
She doesn't deserve, she deserves better bandits.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah, Prince Charming.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
There's no Prince Charming in here.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Algadd is still hot. Yeah, oh yeah, okay, yeah, thanks Ben,
Thanks guys. As you know, sometimes you have a conversation
and an idea sounds great, like when.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
A couple of ours, you mean, famous last words, famous.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Last words or great idea is going to pop into
your head. So Laurie and I a few months ago,
we're having this chat when a second of our cupboard
doors in our kitchen fell off, and we went, let's
do a bit of renovation, get some new cabinets and
new cupboards.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
That should be fairly straightforward, some kitchen cabinets.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, great idea at the time, until you're into your
third week of camping at home, because we went, oh,
while we're at it, it's yeah, it's been rented for
a while. This place it's looking a bit rough the floor.
We'll get that sanded as well.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
They look magnificent, absolutely magnificent.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
But the new kitchen cupboards and the sanded floor means, yeah,
two and a half weeks now of camping and I'm
over it now.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I don't understand why kitchen cupboards mean you have to camp.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Because the applies has had to get taken out, so
we have no kitchen. So there's stuff everywhere. So I'll
run down what my place looks like, and of course
I put my head, do you do.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
This what it's got to do with your bed, kitchen, cabinets?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It feels like camping, feels like we're living in a
caravan because you've got some stuff, okay, plates and cutlery
and the laundry okay, because it can't be in the kitchen.
The temporary kitchen set up with a microwave, a toaster
and a George Forman grill is in our bathroom. The
food from the pantry is in boxes in the spare shower. There.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
You're really cleared it out for a cabinets cleared.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It out absolutely well, you could. There's dust everywhere. So
power cables are the tripping hazard in the in both bathrooms.
So the other day I just wore In fact, last
night I walked past one part of the house. It
was just in the hallway, and I spotted these random
items together, an oven mitt, some pink slippers, a box
of brand and a tea towel. Our place is a
bloody mess. Lease, it's shocker.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
It's like a radio competition.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It does, doesn't it. What's in the room opened for that.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Room?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Room so excited, So.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Don't give me the idea.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
No, what did you say? What did you do that for?
Look what you made me do? So, like I said,
I'm a little bit over it. After I feel a
bit like I'm living in a caravan because the bathroom's
pretty small where we've.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Got the caravans.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, yeah, it's not as good as caravan. Then it
should be a great name, having a comedy van. The
floor being sealed takes a week to properly a seal
or whatever it's done. You know, likes ink.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
But look magnificent.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It looks great. It looks great.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
But i'd camp for a month to have the floors
that you've your new floors.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Come on over. You can join the camp and in
the morning I go, good morning, campers. So for that
to seal properly, so you can't really put your furniture
back down until it's done. That's what the guy who
did the floor said, and I said, okay, so on
our house is quite echoey right now. So on Tuesday night,
this is no kid. Lauren and I sat down on
cushions in the very very loud room to watch White Lotus.
(09:54):
And as you know, White Lotus has got a lot
of loud bits, loud music and sound effects. Yes, this
brilliant a Mark Wuid isn't that the guy who made it?
He's going because it builds the drama and builds the
suspense of this show. But some of the dialogue is
almost quite whispery. So I'm sitting there with the right
going up and down, up and down in the echoing house.
We sat there watching White Lotus, enjoying. I think it
(10:15):
was episode four because we hadn't caught up because we've
been camping. And there's a scene where Jason Isaacs his
robe opens up and he flashes he's Dirk Diggler, and
Laurie fell off the cushion and I went, well, if
we've been not camping and you've been on a chair,
you would have fallen off the couch onto the floor.
So what time are you coming over? Because we're quite
happy to have a a camper.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
With the absolute ultimate of all respect for what you're
going through.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Sure, boom hoot.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Know that I have slate that I want out and
I have to move out. I not only do I
have to move out, all my furniture has to come
out of the house if I want that slate removed
and boards to be put down.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Because you can't go.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
They won't let me go over the top. I thought
I could go over the top. No one will do it.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I looked into that once.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
If anyone know anything about this, many any experts on
flooring out there is there absolutely nothing I can do
to go over the top of slate.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Thinking you have to like put a concrete screen or
something over.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I don't know what they're saying. We'd have to bust
up the slate. Everything would have to come out.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That's a nightmare. That's a night that's jack of.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Central practically, you know, it's like it's it's it's borderline impossible.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I don't think am I supposed to? Davis would never
talk to you. Don't never talk to you again after that. No,
I do, well, okay, I do.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
To most of them, not necessarily to the whip crack.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
There you go, more crazy, more podcasts soon.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Do you know David Foster. He's a music producer. He's
hugely successful. You might not know his name, but he's
you know. He's worked with Celene Dion and Kenny Rodgers
and Whitney Houston, emer Blue and Jewel. He's done stage staff,
he's done movie staff. He's done a lot of stuff
with Diane Warren, the prolific Diane Warren. He used to
be married to Gigi and Bellahadid's mum, Yorlanda. He's currently
(12:11):
married to a seventeen year old Yeah, she's a lot
younger than yeah musician. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Well.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
David Foster has admitted he will walk up sixty five
flights of stairs to avoid an elevator. He's terrified of elevators.
He's yeah, so he's seventy five. I was trying to
think of the top my head. His age. He's opened
up about his fear of elevators after being asked about
his workout routine. So I try to go to the
(12:38):
gym three times a week. But because I won't take
an elevator, pretty much all the stairs is my You
knows my exercise. He says, I've taken millions of stairs
in my life. He walked up sixty five flights of
stairs to use the swimming pool at the Marina Bassands
in Singapore. He said, we were staying there while we
were shooting Asia's Got Talent, and from time to time
(13:00):
I wanted to go to the pool because it gets hot. Yeah,
so I had to walk up sixty five flights to
get I want to be air lifted off again, I reckon.
David Foster could probably swing that. I'm dack on top
of Marina Base at be hop of the time.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You get back to your room, though, wuldn't you so a.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Fear of elevators? It definitely is a fear of elevators
when you'd rather go up sixty five flights of stairs.
What is your random fear or phobia? Do you have one?
Mine is just spiders.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
You hate spiders, don't you?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah, rather a snake wrapped around my neck, yeah than
a spider.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
You've done the snake thing, haven't you had?
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I have no problem with snakes at all.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
See, I did have a snake thing and I did
that and I'm okay, lovely, Yeah, the magnificent creatures. Mine's
more probably claustrophobia than anything.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Claustrophoe.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You know when you see those a float tank yet No,
I haven't yet.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I want to hear how you go.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
With Yeah, I think I'm going to be Okay, I reckon.
I'm going to because a lot of psychology, isn't it.
But when I see a TV share a movie and
you see those people that get buried in a box
alive lives, that freaks me out. Was that the one
where they had the little one little ed tube and
going out and that was it? Don't freaks me. I
can't watch it.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Don't watch the Swedish original, okay, because it doesn't have
a happy American endine not going there.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Just thinking about it just gives me shadows. But that's
probably myphobia. Yeah, sometimes in tunnels and things. And I
did go down a irrigation pipe with some mates once
and I freaked and came back out.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
It's not too keen on the idea of tight spaces,
like you know those cave people that squeeze things and
then get stuck upside down. And that's just that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
That is crazy.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
We are getting a lot of texts about your random phobias.
Adrian says clowns. Need I say more, No, Adrian, you don't.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Need to clowns.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Horrible Mark and Jandercott says deep waters okay, yes, and
what about this one? Donna in Currambine says, my phobia
is buttons, not your normal buttons on your blouse, etc.
So she's okay getting dressed, but jars of old buttons
in my head, I just imagine the grotty fingers that
have touched them in the past. I will never be
(15:11):
able to pick a spare from a jar.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Well, don't watch Coraline, whatever you do, a few buttons
stop up in that one from memory?
Speaker 5 (15:21):
How are you doing? I got a few. I don't
like deep water. If I can't see the bottom, I
won't I don't do that either. But yeah, that's not
the one I'm talking about today. Mine is spiders, and
I've got actually I've had some stories about those. One
of them. I used to be a security guard and
I was working down in Henderson watching the cameras one
(15:42):
night and I can see one of the gates is open.
I'm like, well that shouldn't be. So I drive all
the way down there in the little buggy and I
stop it there. I'm on the phone to a friend
and I turn all the lights off, walk around. I
can't find a reason why walk up to the center,
wipe my hand across the center and go to massive
huntsman on my hand, and I freaked. I I threw
(16:04):
her and my friend is cracking up, laughing it's not
funny now. All she does now sends me photos a spiders.
The spider even named the spider HANDI, And yesterday I
got four pictures on Facebook Messenger on spiders.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I hate spiders way, I'm terrified of them. I have
I have a theory that a lot of single car
car accidents are caused by a spider because if I
flipped down my visor and a huntsman fell in my lap,
I would my reaction would be involuntary. I would just
know I would just go straight off the road into
(16:40):
a tree.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Talking about that, that's actually the other funny one. I
was turning a corner in my car one day, and
you know how you look in your side mirror on
your door before you turn. Well, I had one. I
had one sitting right there and I had the window down.
I slammed on the brakeleft the car in the military.
I was out the door and I was gone.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You did run.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Car.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
I left the car in the middle of the stree
I was gone.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I feel your face.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
So this flame destending your photos. Has that helped you?
It hasn't overcome your fear you. It hasn't worked up.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Just annoying.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeahs at thanks someone right there same as you.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Least truck can deal with that.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah, call the emergency service.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Absolutely, that's what you're in the r C for.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Isn't the jaws of life on it? That thing you know?
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I got. I was threatened with banned, being banned from
Facebook once for a comment I made about spider that's
too true, a spider on someone's wall in their house,
and I said I would I would set my house
on fire.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Facebook threatened to ban me.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Well, they're picking a bit of language randomly.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
It was like, get a sense of humor, Facebook.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Obviously, mister Facebook, who was who was looking probably wasn't
a person was It was not as you're in the
same territory as even Wayne period.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Wayne gets it. Wayne wouldn't have banned me. He understand.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Wine's your peep.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Sam in swan View has an interesting one. She says, Sam,
I'm not too sure if it's a Sam Manther or
a Samuel. Mine is crabs. I can't touch or eat them,
and even looking at them freaks me out. I even
have nightmares about them. But I love to go crabbing. Weird.
Oh look up, the things just came up, just completely
(18:24):
hang on.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
To pop up in the corner.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I hate to pop up anyway. I love to go crabbing, though,
which is weird. But all I can do is pull
the net up, and if there is some in there,
I freak and I have to give it to someone else.
One time a crab fell out of the net. I
just about jumped out of the boat and there was
one on the beach a couple of weeks ago, and
I reckon they should have shut the beach down. But however,
loves to go crabbing, So yes, Sam.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
That is unusual if she's not Canarian.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Stephen Beckenham says, I hate heights. Originally as a child,
I wasn't until the day a drongo. A drungo friend
of my dad's hung me over the edge of the
top of the King's Park tower by my ankle. Yeah.
You see people in movies being hung over the edge
of a high drop and they wriggle and struggle. Will
(19:14):
believe me in real life, you don't.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
You go stiff as a boarder.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
It's normally not your mate's drongo. Dad. It's not only
doing that, you know, just threatening go yes, Jane, Hello.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Hello, I can't stand cotton wool just I know, and
I know other people that have it. It's actually even
got a name. Really, it's a real phobia. And like
I said, just the like pulling it apart, it sort
of makes it squeaky, horrible noise, and it's like you
(19:48):
know with people with fingernails on blackboards.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
So cotton wool balls, Now, how do you go with

When it's wet, doesn't get that squeak.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's okay.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
So if you wet it, like I said, if I
need to touch it, I'll just pour water, all gotcha? Right?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Okay, So I'm trying to imagine giant taking a nail
polish off and everything could really interrupt your life.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, all right, thanks, have a good day. You never
tell stuff like that, any kind of weakness to your
work mates, hamber at home, no, especially sense of humor.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Certainly, don't tell anyone here you go home with it
in your handbag.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Who would it would be so child if.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I kept everything that I found in my handbag that
had been placed by one ding claires.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
You're blaming me Greg Susie.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
There are others. One day I went down to my
car and there was a life size cut out of
someone sitting on top of it. Who was that something?
Was some movie promotion.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
As well or someone else.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Maybe it was Greg. It's always something He's got to
be idiots. Tim and Bill here. This made me laugh
him because I feel a bit the same way. He
has a bit of a phobia about those inflatable really
tall stick.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
People promotion and stuff are outside.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Gar yards and promotions and things that used for advertising.
They are the weirdest things they are, especially when they
you know, they they droop. Yeah, like either there's no
wind or someone got a hold.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
It's like when Santa blow up generated die.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yes. Listen to this one from Russ. This is funny Spiders.
Two nights ago, I had a Huntsman spider give me
the finger, I hear Russ, So I emptied half a
can of more teen on him. I thought that was
the end of it, but then a few minutes later
he got up and continued on his way. They do that,
They try and let a little bit of time pass,
thinking you'll go away, basically saying is that all you
(22:47):
got Is that all you got? Right after a few
choice words, I got the biggest flat surface I could
find and played whack a mole with him, and then
I flushed him down the toilet. He's probably gonna come
back and bite me on the.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Bum quite possibly. You never know. It's going to divers Daniel,
good morning, welcome wedding.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
What you got? What's your your random fear of phobia?
Speaker 9 (23:05):
It's tall women and I can't explain it's yeah, I'm
intimidated by them.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
How tall are you, Daniel?
Speaker 9 (23:13):
I'm about six to one, Okay, Yeah, Yeah. If I
see a tall woman coming towards me, I literally head
down and I sort of veer away.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
So taller than you?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yes, yes, do you see many, mate, because there are
a lot of tall women out there now, I've.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
Got a couple of couple of work at the moment. Yeah,
And it's like literally, yep, I'll take the alternate route.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Really.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah. Nipball Awards once and that somebody whose girls it
was bizarre. You would have hated that, Dan, You go
to the wouldn't go, It wouldn't go. What if she
was the love of your Yeah, she was like the
best person you ever met.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Yeah, it probably wouldn't happen because to put the text,
if someone like Elmer person, yes, and she was literally
looking at me with those come get.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Me on the road because she was like if she
was six or four or something, that would freak you out.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Wow, Yeah, I would cross the road instead of actually
coming across. I can't explain it.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
You don't have to know.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
It's okay.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
There's no judgment here. That's very interesting than Daniel B.
Speaker 9 (24:26):
Worries.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
That's the most interesting, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
You know there are shows, and there are shows, and
next Tuesday night, March twenty five, at the ASTA, there's
going to be a show the Stranglers are playing. Tickets
are available through Ticke Tech and we are very fortunate
to have JJ Burnell join us this morning.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Hello Legend, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Basic guitarist and co lead vocalist of The Stranglers. Now, Jjo,
there's something that's always baffled me a bit about the Stranglers.
You've always been described as British iconic punk band. But
I mean, clearly something transcended that genre because to me,
you I don't think punk is the first thing that
(25:13):
would come to my mind. You just had a genre
to yourself, a unique sound to yourself.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Well, thank you for that. Yeah, I think that that
the punk label is kind of limiting or else we
extended it, expanded the definition of it. But we grew
up in that period with all the other bands playing
the limited circuit that we were allowed to play at
that time. But fortunately for us, you kind of tried
(25:43):
to experiment and see how far we could go with
the limitations of our very limited talent.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
So thanks for service on that.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
Well, we won't dictated by commercial reasons. So you know,
some things we try and some things succeeded and other
things failed. But you know, if you love music, you
try to extend all the sources of inspiration and try
to be inspired by those you know.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, I do the contract what you're saying them, and
I think it was your individual and your your pull
the resources and skill and then the carriage to move on,
you know, La Folle and oral sculpture. There's beautiful albums
with some beautiful sounds, and then you're selling yourself short.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
I think that, Well, you know, you either if every
musician wants to be successful, so once they if you've struggled,
and then you find a formula a lot of musicians
suddenly stopped developing because they keep up with that formula.
But I don't think love's too short. You know. Let's
see how far you can go, and sometimes you will
(26:48):
carry an audience with you and other times you won't.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Well, the answer to how far you can go? This
tourist part of the band's fiftieth anniversary celebrations. Did you
always say think would be celebrating fifty years or amazing?
Speaker 8 (27:03):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Pitching yourself?
Speaker 7 (27:05):
Well, last year was the fiftieth, and I think we're
extending the fiftieth to this year. Here's for the next fifty.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yes, yeah, where does it begin?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
Man?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
You think about well, seventy seven to nineteen ninety are
a lot of albums in those those early days. Mate,
I have to go back to the first album to say,
Peaches is one of my favorite basslines for yours for
you coming to the party there, that was just like that,
and I think of you and I think of the band,
and it just takes me back. Can you play a
gig without playing Peaches?
Speaker 7 (27:36):
Yes, sir, Well, you know you can't fool an audience. Yeah,
And if you're just going through the motions the band
is boring for the band and the so we have
occasionally dropped Peaches for instance, and even Golden Brown. Really
(27:57):
you didn't feel feel for these songs anymore, and then
you rediscover them a bit later.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Oh classic? So well, I mean it must. I do
feel for you, though with so many top forty singles,
it's hard to curate a set list because we'd be
here all week. Yeah yeah, and then you have the
cities expecting you.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
Well, that's true. It's I think, as we're saying, France
long behind the embarrassment of riches.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Yeah, yeah, exactly right for choice.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I mean a song like Golden Brown. Yeah, Dave Greenfield's
beautiful music. We're very sad when we lost him, but
it was right at the start of COVID time, wasn't it.
But when you when you play Golden Brown, it must
you must feel like a tribute to his music because
he came up with that. Didn't you have a beautiful keyboard?
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, you speak of France. That's where you live right
right in Rose Country there.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah, that's well, that's tough. I have.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
In the south Y my motorcycles days of the year
sounds gastly like if I was living in w A.
You know, yeah, yeah, you know what. A few years
ago we three of us ride motorcycles and a few
years ago we were really fortunate to be loaned three
motorcycles by Trials dealership I won't make yes in Perth
(29:13):
and they under these We asked them if we could
rent out or hire bikes and they said, no, we
don't do that, mate, but we can have them.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
You can have those.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Was to ride down to Market River, yes, being French wine, yes,
and I think Margaret River produces some of the very
best wines in Australia.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
You won't get any argument.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
So we wrote down there, we rode down to Margaret River.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
What well, as someone who lives in the south of France,
it would be remissive not to really to compare the two.
Tell me what was it like touring in Japan in
the seventies. So, yeah, I believe you were like the
only foreign band at the time to tour there.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
Yeah. I don't know if we were the only ones,
but certainly it was. It was a revelation. It was
they were the most polite Augiens that we were used
to rally British audiences. And we're also we had some
(30:16):
very roudy and they sat quietly, and then at the
end of each song they stood up and applauded and
then sat down again.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
There's no Japanese mosh pitch.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
There was no scrapping. Can you tell me you talked
about pictures. I'm obsessed with that bassline, But can't you
tell me what happened to that bass guitar, because I
believe there's a story.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
The bass well interesting enough. Adam Clayton from you two
made an offer for it last year so that they
could put that bass guitar in the YouTube museum, which
they're developing in Dublin. So I sold it to him
because it was unplayable. Yeah, I've smashed it up so
(31:03):
many times way back then that it was you couldn't
play it. But he still wanted it for their YouTube museum. Yeah,
brilliant YouTube. And now the prowd owners of that particular guitar.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Being the bass player, he would have loved that. That
would have met a lot of him to be able
to purchase that JJ.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
You're fifty one years in but do you remember the
first time you heard yourself on the radio?
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Oh yeah, yeah, sure, And I kept on hearing it
back back again. I've kept on replaying it. Yes, you know,
in those days, you could record a cassette off the radio,
you know, you had those cassette players and just pressed
the recording record. Yes, the radio.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
You had to hope that the DJ didn't talk all
over the beginning radio jobs. Yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Well, I just quickly before you go. Things have changed, right,
just a little bit from the days when you guys
would be fighting and scrapping whilst on tour. You know,
blood on the stage, blood on guitars, that kind of stuff.
What's what's it like now for you? I'm sure you're right,
it's much.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
It's much say, people actually come to see us, not
to chase us off the stage.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Love it.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Well, you're gonna love the Asta Theater. It's a beautiful
place to for a show. The Stranglers are playing the
Asta Tuesday, March twenty five. Tickets are available through ticke Tak.
Lovely to catch up with this morning JJ all the.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
Best note, Thank you very much, and we're so looking
forward to coming back to wol.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
We hope you can get down to Mirgrants. Yeah, down
to a cellar door or two.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Absolutely, well, you know, we last time we were there.
We just we went down the river, yes, yes, and
right up to the edge of the ocean. We also
went up to a little town on the what's it
called Bird Strange Bird or the city. Yeah, we went
(33:03):
to a classic bike Yes, we rode up to Seabird.
There was a eucalyptus forest on the way and there
was also a racing circuit. Were doing a classic bike races.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Perfect. Well. Look, if you can't don't have time to
get down to Margaret River, just going on a bike
into the Swan Valley. There you'll find some nice wine too,
so I will I can vouch for that.
Speaker 7 (33:34):
But if we can't get down to Margaret, we can
at least drink some Barret River produce.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Absolutely definitely have that on the riders.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
Thank you, have a great day.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
More more podcast soon.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
The Sure Report on ninety six.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
I might have missed the memo on this, but we
have a release date for season two of the Last
of Us with Bella Ramsay and Pedro Pascal, and we
don't have to wait long. It's out April fourteen.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
This is where we live, I say the fed.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
What's insane.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
People, what's house happ most?
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Look There is one catch though, it's not going to
be on Binge this time. We have to stream it
on Max, which actually launches here in Australia on March
the thirty first. Now I believe it's going to be
eleven dollars ninety nine a month for a standard membership,
jumping to fifteen ninety nine after the first year. You
can get the basic plan, which means it has ads
(34:55):
for seven ninety nine a month for the first year
and that'll jump to eleven ninety nine after that. But
Max is going to carry a lot of the stuff
that's from HBO, so that's things like the White Loaves.
So I'm assuming that because a lot of that is
on Binge now they're saying that, for example, the first
season of The Last of Us you can watch it
on Binge right now, but once this hits it'll transfer
(35:19):
over to Max. So it sounds like a lot of
stuff is going to be making the move. Okay, I
have to decide which one's going to go. What a
great show, Yeah, body has to go for me to
make room for the new one. To mix them up.
I like to drop them for a while and then
get back together with them, and you know.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Fun if they're all owned by one company and they're
just playing with us little pawns.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
A new development is delaying the Diddy trial, which is
shaping up to be the entertainment world trial of the century.
The trial has been pushed back to May the twelfth
after a supplementary indictment was added alleging that Diddy force
staff into extended work hours with insufficient rest and threaten
their physical and professional health. The delay will give both
parties extra time to get their evidence in order. Taylor
(36:06):

twenty first century. Well so far anyway, thus far this century,

Sea she's filed for divorce from Daniel Bernard after just

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Little baby handstand babet role? What is with people? Somersault?
I don't even I can't even tell you if it's
a boy or a girl. But then again, I'm probably
not meant to cast a spursions on it. Possibly it's
eleven months old, but I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Expect Seea to have a kid called care you know
what I mean? Sure be funny if she did. Somersault,

back of my hand. Somersault, you can't say that either.

the Bunsen burners on stage and even Paul Stanley said
the uzzy fans were quite quiet at first because we
couldn't believe they were there. Oh, we're absolutely terrified, but
we couldn't believe they were there. It's like this is
like nothing else. In nineteen eighty Moscow Olympics, they were
