whose favorite hobby is to read, I wish I had
one good book in me. I mean, that's just amazing.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Coming from you. You are prolific, prolific and good. Yeah.
I have a big imagination. My time here is short.
What can I do most beautifully?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
And for me, it's writing stories that people can't put down.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh that's just how I like them.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
So we got we've got a couple of them. What
we got the Women's murder club, which is you know,
Alice crosses all over the place because he's on Prime
Video and whatever, but actually the biggest around the world
is a women's murder club. So we got a new one,
twenty five Alive. Yes, and it's all about these four
women who you know wants a homicide detective, Ones, a sister,
(01:26):
d a ones, a lawyer and and they're the kind
of friends we all wish we had, yes, and they
and they love to get together and solve murders.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Very good jimes. You mentioned the were prolific. We said,
prolific and great. But what are your fans like They
obviously they rolled up to book signings and heard.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
They're all they love to hear. They love to hear
a good story. Everybody does, you know exactly, And that's
what I try to do. The other one that's that's
I think out right now is Two Sisters Murder Investigation.
And it's kind of the weird family business. Two sisters.
One's sixteen years old and she's you know, sort of
(02:07):
Internet obsessed and the other one is sort of a lawyer,
just in minded kind of lawyer. Yeah, and they don't
get along on anything, but they're really they're really fun.
And actually I wrote that one with Candace Fox, who
is a very good Australian writer. So those two two
Sisters Murder Investigations, and then and then The Woman's Murder Club.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I think we spoked to Canada when the last one
came out. And I love what you're write with Candace
Fox doing. But do you enjoy collaborating with other people?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Candace No, Oh, no, my god, she's awful. She's no,
she's great. I do, I do. She's really a lot
of fun. He has a big imagination, she's very lively,
and she's got a new little daughter, not so new
right now, but yeah, yeah, so yeah, we we have
a great time doing our books. Two Sisters, there's a
(02:56):
lot of fun and it's funnier the one is Matt Club.
Isn't this fun? He has two sisters and a lot
of that is Candace because she's off the wall, and
and between the two of us, I think we tell
a pretty good story.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I'ty tell us on your birthday on the weekend that
you didn't work? Were you please not writing? Were you
doing something to spoil yourself on my birthday? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, we had a son down here and and my
three sisters, and and they all love me, but they
don't like each other. So it was perfect, just like
just like Canda, just like Rohnda and baby Bird and
two sisters.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Minus three.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Right, you and I share a birthday. Actually mine was

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Have you ever written a character named it after someone
you didn't like then killed them off?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah? Well the time. No, I don't want that many
people I don't like to. I'm pretty open about people.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, maybe the occasional reviewer.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Well, yeah, there are a couple of those.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
You're generals of them are pretty kind. Yeah, you are
a generous soul. Those countless grunts and scholarships over the
years to so many institutions. I mean, was it just
something that you felt like, when you've got some success,
you just wanted to give back, you know, I don't.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Take the credit. My mom and my grandmother that was
this their deal to give away stuff. And yeah, we've
given away one hundred and sixty million dollars, So it's
a lot. You know, my poor son is going to
inherit nothing but.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Well, James, can I don't know when you have the time,
but can I ask what was the last book you
read and loved?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I just read a new Michael Connolly that's not out yet.
Michael's a friend of my fact, I'm interviewing him Friday.
I do a little thing online interviews. So yeah, and
his new one is he's a he's a terrific mystery
writer as well. Yeah, not to compare myself to Michael,
but yeah, that was that the most recent. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I think some of his stuff has been made into
TV shows, has it or.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
But enough about him?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, enough about it?
Speaker 3 (05:08):

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, Madam fascinated by the writing process process. Do you

on the laptop or I don't care.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, I don't work for a living. I play for Yeah,
I I I write seven days a week. Yeah, I met.
I'm at one of my desks in my office. I
haven't a place on the ocean, so I have to
make sure I put the block down so I'm not
looking at the ocean. But I have a couple of
desks in here, and I'll go back and forth between
(06:06):
the desks, and you know, so so if I like
right now with the two books with the Woman's Murder
Club and the Two Sisters, I might you know, if
I'm writing those series, I might write them at the
different desks, just like that trick myself, right.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You know, everything will be a Florida story.
Speaker 3 (06:25):

Jeremy Piven is coming to town. He is coming in August.
He's going to be at the Asta Theater Wednesday, August six.
Tickets are available through ticket Tech and he's joining us
this morning. Good morning, Jeremy Piven.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Hey, welcome Jeremy.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Thank you guys.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
How are you Have you been to Perth before?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
I've never been to Perth in my life, but I
can't wait to go. I've heard incredible things.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well a distant city, been different to anywhere else. But yeah,
and there's a lot of love for you.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Human I can't wait to feel it. I want to
get there and make people laugh and we need it
right now.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, we do it. Well, you'll definitely feel that. The
Asterid's a great venue to do a show. What what
kind of things do you cover off in your in
your stand up show.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
I talk about I do topical stuff, observational stuff, stories, impressions.
I'm all over the map, I'm everywhere.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Right, we've said, you nailed it. We need a lot
right now. But there is a lot of stuff going on.
It's funny, just funny. Is it getting a little bit
hotter as people get a bit more sensitive?
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Yeah, I don't. I think you just don't even go there.
You just speak the truth as you know it, and
that's going to be polarizing, and you know not everyone's
going to love you, but you just jump in. And
I think right now, if if you get really offended
by someone making jokes, that's on you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yes, you know what I mean, absolutely, Why should it
be the jokers? But don't turn off, don't this whatever,
Do what you gotta do. But it's nothing to do
with Jeremy. Jeremy, You've been around for quite a while now.
So if I don't mean any offense. The first time
I saw you was in the best show of the nineties,
the Larry Sanders Show. Yes, that must have been an
(09:23):
incredible experience to work on that show. It was such
a novel concept that.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
It was a brilliant show. Yeah, it was the backstage
life of a talk show that was so good that
people even thought it was a real talk show.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Garry Shandling was a genius, and I played the head writer,
and I was right out of college, and it was
just an incredible experience for me. I just learned so much.
It kind of kicked off original program programming at HBO,
and then I did Entourage for about a decade with them.
So I've been at HBO for a while.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
That Ari Gold character, when you've I just read that,
did you just go this is familiar? And no one
else is getting their hands on it because it's such
a classic character.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
You know, you would laugh because the way they used
to do it, you would only get the pilot and
then they would green light it. And then so in
the pilot Ari Gold had one scene and he wasn't
even as fleshed out as he became, So I knew
what it could be because my agent was Ari Emmanuel,
(10:27):
who the characters based on, So unbeknownst to me, I
had been doing you know, I was like a drama tour.
I had been doing my homework for a very long
time on the character, and so I got very lucky
and I knew. I knew intrinsically what Ari Emmanuel slash
Ari Gold was like and the dualities of that character
who you thought was a pig, but he was really
(10:49):
monogamous to his wife. He was all bark and no bite.
He was you know, hot tempered and all those beautiful things.
So I knew that if we got it right, that
people would be fascinated with the backstage life of Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, some of his verbal barrages script together words I
didn't think I'd ever hear all in one sentence. But
was there much ad lib involved in in Ari? On
your end?
Speaker 5 (11:15):
You know, I am my background. Part of my background
is sketch, comedy, improv and all that stuff, and so
I've been writing on my feet my whole life, and
i love to be able to contribute. But Doug Allen,
who wrote it, wrote a very tight, perfect, beautiful script,
and you know, he he didn't want me you know,
he wanted me to stick to the script and I
(11:36):
was honored to do it. And then I would kind
of beg and plead for a free take, and I
would I would kind of go off, and every once
in a while, like I would say something in an
improvisational moment like let's hug it out, bitch, something like that,
and it would kind of make it in, but not
not a lot. Not a lot. So I you know,
(11:59):
that's why I'm doing stand up, so so I can
let my hands go and just you know, have fun
and freestyle.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That's like a Robin Williams clause, isn't it. Didn't they didn't.
They often promise Robin a free take at the end
of him reading you know, the script and let him go.
So that's what we can expect at your stand up show.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Yeah, I mean, you know, be careful what you wish for.
I love the freedom. I just love being able to
just show up, grab the mic and just kind of
take off and and also selfishly have people get a
sense of who I am. You know, they may think,
you know, how could you possibly know me? You may
know me from these characters, but you don't know that
(12:42):
I'm a stage actor from Chicago when I grew up
on the stage, and I've got this amazing family and
and everything that went along with it. So you know,
it's it's a way of I know how to give
the people what they want, but also do it, you know,
in a way that shows who I am and where
I come from.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, I'm being an Entorage superfan. Might have to tell
a couple of plagious to your incredible body of work,
because all I did when I said when I was
talking to you that I lied. Did Risley actually get
caught upset on a regular basis with you yelling his
nay might or he just sometimes just crack out?
Speaker 5 (13:14):
You know? He Rex is a very interesting guy. I
mean he Rex was an assistant. You know, he is Asian.
He is gay. He is a gay Asian assistant who
was working in the cat or as Ari Gold said
Gaijin gaig uh, and you know he he just entered
(13:38):
into that character and we were like a perfect match
for each other, two people that you would never expect
to be in the same room together, and it was
just magical. And to Doug Allen's credit, he could see
chemistry and then explore it heightened that and you know,
and then you know, I've done the best work of
my life now with this.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
I don't know if you can see that. I have
his poster behind the Foremance, which comes out this year,
and it's an Arthur Miller short story that my sister
adapted and I produced and started. And you know, guys
like you know Adam Garcia and Aussie Yes is in
my film with me and Robert Carlisle. And it's definitely
(14:17):
it's I feel like it's kind of the best work
of my life. And it took me fifteen years to make,
and I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Fifteen years and with your sister, it's a telling fam.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, labor of love. I read that you have but
a desire to play Keith Moon from the Who because
you play drums. Is that something you still would love
to do? Any closer to that dream?
Speaker 5 (14:41):
You know? I wonder if I'm too old to play
Keith Moon. But then I realized Keith Moon, you know,
was such a rock star that he looked way older than.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
He did he did did.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Yeah, maybe I can still you know, at one hundred
and twenty years old, I can still play him.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
As long as you could drive a Charen to a
swimming pool. You'll be real good because he was a
fascinating character. Keith Man, Yeah, he was.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
He was definitely the original rock star. Yeah. And also,
you know, a brilliant drummer. That story needs to be told.
There's a lot of stories that I'm after right now,
and I don't want I don't want to say too
many of them because I almost feel like, to be
honest with you, sometimes when you say things, you put
it out into the universe, and like, you know, you
(15:27):
better be getting after it. Otherwise it's just talk. Someone
else can grab it and run with it.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I hate to be like a little bitch.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
But to be cautious's close. And I'm speaking of Keith
of a podcast with Roger Adultry and Pete Tanzen recently,
and I said that behind everything else, Keith Moon was
a He's a very he was a very caring man,
you know, very sweet man to the people that he trusted.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
I bet you know, I bet he was. And he
was also a brilliant musician and an absolute beautiful lunatic.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Well, I think Ringo Starr said that that he locked
him in a house and put a rhino in there
with him that was smashing in the things like there
was no one crazier.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I love it.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Well.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You can catch Sharing Me Pivot at the Astra Theater
on Wednesday, August sixth. Tickets are available through Ticke Tech
and the Performance. How do we get around that, Jeremy, You.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Know what, I hope by the time I get there
with you guys, we have we have a release date,
or I'll just bring the film with me in my
hands and I will make you watch it.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, we want to do that. Coming here, coming to
ninety six of him.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
All right, Jeremy, thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
This morning's been a privilege.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Man. Thank you. I'll see you soon in a few months.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Thanks August, see you at the So good More Crazy
More podcasts.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
In recent years, in very recent years, in the overall
scheme of things, everyone's got all you know, yeah, don't
hurt over everything, and shows like Entourage would be considered problematic.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
A little bit too risky. Yourecon a little bit.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Too risk So this morning we want to talk about
what you reckon wouldn't get made now if they tried
to make it now. I would say, if you tried
to make little Britain now struggle you'd get this response?
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Can I have word with the manager computers?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I reckon for sure?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Woul No, Yeah, yeah, Well you think about someone like
Chris Lillly in Australia canceled a few years ago, didn't
he really well yeah, yeah, it's going to get idiots.
What about that whole lineup of British seventies British none
of us? Okay, so none of the through the list
he served? No, No on the buses.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
No, leave something for the other people. Sorry on the
buses not No, probably not what probably wouldn't get made? Now,
Brody in Jodler, what do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Brady?
Speaker 7 (18:19):
I believed would be that.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Might Straggle.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Think Robert Downey Junior would be allowed to do?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah, I think about battle like some of the foot Show.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Yeah, I think a lot of things and that I
personally love a very Yeah, but apart from the even
friends is problematic at this point in time, A bit
difficult topic thunder.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Thanks Brady, Brady.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
That's that's probably the only time I've ever liked Tom
Cruise except for risky business.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Risky.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Danielle in Armadale, what do you reckon wouldn't get made.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Now, I think mash one of my all time favorites.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
You think.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Not time, yea, what do you think?
Speaker 7 (19:06):
It was full of people having a listening in affairs
and they were sexually all over the place, and yeah,
it wasn't ideal for definitely wouldn't get mad.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Slinger would be allowed to use this, yeah maybe not,
maybe not.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
I think he would be the only one that would
be acceptable.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, but they wouldn't be able to take the mickey
out of it.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Definitely not.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, well that Frank was a bit of a silk.
He might fit in with a lot of people these days.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Frank was the title so I loved Frank.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It's not a competition. Frank lips would.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Him The text has gone completely nuts. Tim in Rockingham
says any mel Brooks movie. Adam and Gingerly says, Saturday
Disney with Agro. You're right, we were watching a little
Agro sketch the other day. He talked about a pencil
with you know something. Anyway, Brendon in Harrisdale said Kingswood Country. Now,
(20:04):
there's been a lot of votes for Kingswood Country a
few so many reasons why they wouldn't make Kingswood Country
Now one of the greatest shows at your time.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
And some of those British shows we talk about, you know,
love thy Neighbors, going to mention I Love my Neighbors
one of the ones that would be top of the list.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah, Lisa and Palmelia said, The Kenny Everett Show, Yes
there's another Kingswood Country, the Paul Hogan Show. Are you
being said? So many stuff?
Speaker 1 (20:28):

just wouldn't now on the Telly, let's go to ellen Brook, Josh, but.
Speaker 2 (20:33):

the into a cinema or something.

Van in Bandine, Hello, what do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's not going to make that.
Speaker 6 (21:20):

Speaker 2 (22:11):
And he does pat him on the head? I guess,
I guess, And you know, don't mention the war? Well
you start exactly what the it's a battery? The show
ever start?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I forgot forgot about patting him in the head? Where
do you start?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Where does it end? That's the that's what's being highlighted today.
What about married with children? Matthew and Lake Cougi said,
probably not married with children.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Even our Bundy scratching is boys. He'd get into trouble
for some.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Of these shows, even that long ago. I mean Little
Britain is one that I mean, I just think everything
about Little Britain would be considered problematic with the foot Brigade.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Now that Chris Lily stuff all feels like five minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Ago, it does. It was no and we're not talking
about all the way back on the sixty four. Yeah, anyway,
Darren and ellen Brook said some mothers do have him.
So many we've had so many votes for Kings. Would
very well, that's how true, is it?
Speaker 8 (23:15):
Well?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
So many people would take a fence for so many
different reasons.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
He said, more than just talking about the Kings. Would
Hey what about you? Are awful? But I like you?
Dick Emory wouldn't that show would not last an episode?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
And Kenny Everetts, Oh yes, another one.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
He dressed up and cross his legs.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Andrew and Mount Helena, good morning.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
The Today Show wouldn't stand the test of time.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
There's a whole lot of them.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
The one that stood out for me wascaly, I don't
reckon that. Let them get away with some of the
one liners.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
They gave, especially about the church, but.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Stereotypical dun blonde yeah, yeah, yeah, wasn't it sad?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah? Thanks, thanks for throwing your hat in the ring.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Thanks Andrew, you do last call Sue's import Kennedy, Hello.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Hello, how are you good?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
What do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
I m Jeanie.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
You don't think, you don't think?
Speaker 6 (24:21):
So imagine the whole master.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
People get up locked in her bottle. You can't call
it the bottle, call it the master bedroom anymore. So
there you go.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh, yes, you're so right.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, completely subservient to Major Nelson, wasn't you.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, that's what was you know. Bewitched was always sort
of the opposite of that, because Samantha didn't take anything
for the roost. But it's just horrible to think that
people can be offended by a dream of Janie. But
they would be.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Definitely I agree with Yeah, but they get upset at
Gilligan's Island with ginger and there being sexy.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
And I probably yes, yeah, thanks missing out.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
I know.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Really we're talking about different times.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
The Sure Report on ninety six AM.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yesterday, Mariah Carey won her copyright lawsuit over All I
Want for Christmas, But today Miley Cyrus has failed in
her attempt to make a copyright lawsuit filed against her
for her song Flowers Go Away. A judge rejected Miley
and her co defendant's motion to dismiss the suit. That
means the copyright infringement file by Tempo Music Investments can
(25:40):
proceed now. Tempo is a part owner of the copyright
of the Bruno Mars song When I Was Your Man,
and argues that Flowers is substantially similar to Bruno's hit.
It's not even so much about the sound, it's the
similarity in the lyrics that's the problem. In Miley's song,
she talks about buying her self flowers and holding her
own hand, and Bruno sings, I should have brought you
flowers and held your hand. To be fair, they do
(26:04):
sound a bit the same too. I'll keep you posted.
Two years ago, a video of Pedro Pascal went viral
because of his Starbucks coffee order. You can see what's
written on his coffee cup in the video, A niced
espresso with a lot of coffee six shots. Two years
down the track on Jimmy Kimmel Live, He's joked about
it going viral.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
I cannot begin to tell you how violating this was.
There's so much context to why it has become six
shots of espresso. It was always a quad, but then
I feel like the cups got bigger, and I don't know,
the shots got less strong, and at some point it
became six. And it was an incredibly private morning ritual
that I never wanted anyone to know about it. I
(26:44):
don't have more coffee for the rest of the day.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
I swear it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
But some of those cups are like buckets, and I
don't think Starbucks coffee even tastes like coffee. By the way,
so you've watched You've started watching Adolescents on Netflix, Yes,
last night. I've been bugging you about this for a
couple of weeks. Now it is the show of the moment.
Stephen Graham is amazing, the kid's amazing. In fact, every
episode is filmed in one take. Blows my mind. That
(27:11):
mustle cop guy basically that episode because he's got a
lot of dialogue and he's constantly on the move. And
he said, I read him. He said, you don't say
no to Stephen Graham. But when he got on set,
he thought, what have I got myself in for? He
went home crying because he just could.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And now Adolescents has shattered a significant barrier in the
UK television landscape. It just became that the first streaming
show to claim top spot in their weekly TV ratings.
You must get around this show if you have to
get Netflix to watch it.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Changed. It's It's good Telly and he just kept eating apples.
It's trying to get up the smokes with Yeah, unreal.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
More Cleazya more podcast Soon.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
You under the Lethal left foot.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I strut grabbed that from ninety six a Freemantle Docker.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Window and Door Replacement company. Give your home and new
leaves online with Perth Window and Door Replacement Company, the
number one name in the game to book your free
quote search per Window and Door. After leaving for much
of the game, the doc has lost to Sydney just
by three points at Optics Stadium in front of over
forty three thousand fans on Sunday. It was sixty eight
to sixty five. Young How are you mate?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I'm good good morning, good morning, good good.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
It would have been nicer with the four points, wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
It It would have. Yeah, it's a tough one. Sometimes
those losses can can be harder than you know, getting
smashed and play.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
They would always be harder.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Because, yeah, we actually felt like we played some pretty
good footing and we yeah, I felt like we controlled
the game. Yeah, for much of the evening. It was just, yeah,
we just fell short in the end there. And yeah,
it's quite tricky when you've you've got a short lead
and you feel like you need to score again to
put them to bed. And at times that can get
of course some issues for you because you might rush yourself,
(29:07):
for you feel the pressure that we need to score again,
but you forget that you are still winning and you're
in the lead, and there might be three minutes to go,
but you don't have to rush and score. I suppose
put it to bed, and I suppose that might have
been a lesson on the weekend. Was Yeah, we probably
didn't deal with that last few minutes very well. But
when we look at the whole game is in entirety,
(29:29):
we actually played some really good footing and I suppose
that's the positive we're taking out of it. And we
want to keep imposing our brand for longer, and the
longer we can do that, the more we're going to
be in games.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yeah, but adding insult close injury was how close it
came at the end too, with Jamus marking inside fifty.
But what was it just after the siren?
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Yeah, it's funny. I've spoken two more seconds of people
that were sort of in the stands, and I think
in the stands it's harder to hear the sign. People
didn't know and they were thinking what's going on. I
was in the box and I heard the siren, and
I was also watching the sort of the clock on
the TV, and yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, it was.
It was stressful, but yeah, I think it was obviously
(30:11):
a little just just after the sirens. So, like you say,
we could if that was a second earlier giant mark
so that potentially kicks a goal and we could be
sitting there going.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
How good, What a great response effort exactly.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
So yeah, we gotta we gotta look at it for
what it is. It was a better, better response than
the weak before.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
So take it.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
When you were saying kick kick it, you've been banished
from the coaches box.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Yeah, yeah, I got got sent with the rest of
the playing group, which is good though, because yeah, it's yeah,
everyone else in the room sort of joins in. It's
everyone gets pretty emotional and gets yeah involved in the game,
so it's it's better, probably better viewing than the coaching box.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah. Foot is a funny game, isn't it. It can be.
It's a real level over and all the rest of it.
So you've got a young player from Sydney, Carter Marty,
who really struggled to really make his stamp on the
Grand Final last year, had a pretty dirty day and
then he's got that one and that went out with
Brendan Cox right at the end of the game. And
poor Cox he got sort of pushed out of the
way and that kind of thing and kicked the goal
which which put them in front. But for Brendan Cox,
(31:13):
that's a tough one because you're he looked tanked and
when you're stuffed at the end of the game on
a hot day like that, how do you handle something
like that when that when Yeah, because it comes in
and everyone's focusing on the one thing.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah, yeah, I think, and I like after the game,
everyone's disappointed and Cox he certainly felt really disappointed, but
I think we're all pretty aware that it wasn't that
one moment crossed the game and we really assured him
of that. And yeah, Marty, you know, he's a good
player and he had a good moment and he kicked
the goal and but certainly not Coxy's fault and will
(31:42):
support him in that. And yeah, there was a lot
that we did right in the day. There was a
few things that we did wrong, and we've addressed that
and I think largely were pretty positive with with our performance.
And we want to keep I suppose reinforcing that the
good things, because if we're just a negative and if
we ride the emotions of a loss, it's probably not
(32:02):
going to help us going forward. So we've got to
take it for what it is, and yeah, take the
good things and keep moving.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Do you know if Brandon Walker is okay? He seemed
to hurt his shoulder.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Yeah, I think he's okay. I'm not sure. He went
and got scans and I think they're speaking to specialists
about the best way forward. So I don't know what
the plan is going forward, but I'm assuming he'll miss
some time. Yeah, but yeah, we wish him all the best.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Josh Tracey has just become a big power forward, one
of the stars of the AOFL now, hasn't he He has.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Yeah, he's just gone from strength to strength. Yeah, It's
just really good seeing a big key forward take a
game by the scraff of the neck and really lead.
And I think that's what's growing in his game over
the last year and a half is he's really become
a leader for our forward line and our team. And
I think he brings a lot of energy and I
suppose when he's playing, well we all sort of stand
(32:50):
a bit taller. And yeah, he gets the crowd involved,
and yeah, he's playing some really good footing which is great.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Well it's Derby Day on Sunday, Derby number sixty, which
is unbelievable. Both teams of course desperate to be the
one that you know, gets those points. It's going to
make for a great game.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
It will, it will always does. Yeah, there's always it
doesn't matter where the teams are at or what the
I suppose owing to to, it's always going to be
a great, great battle. And yeah, we're really looking forward
to it. I think someone told me it's the most
inexperienced Derby game for both sides. Yeah, yeah, I think
(33:31):
there's just you know, with the out and bolt is out,
so yeah, some fresh faces out there.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Which is fresh blood, really inexperienced.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, exactly, so a youthful, youthful Geff and Darling retiring, Yeah,
as well as.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Crips is the only two hundred game player. Wow, So yeah,
it's Yeah, it's a new feel to it, and yeah,
with youth comes a bit of excitement. So I'm looking
forward to seeing our young mids, some of our new players.
Murphy Reid in his first Who's on the weekend when
he touched the ball of the crowd sort of it's
pretty if they're a fan favorite, which is exciting, so
(34:09):
hopefully he can you light it up on the derby.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Makes it more exciting to watch when it's an unknown quantity.
I don't know how it's going to go. Is NAP
five like likely at all?
Speaker 4 (34:20):
To be not sure, I don't experience, I'm not, I
don't think so. He's played the last two weeks on
managed minutes, so this week's his first opportunity to play
sort of a full game, and I think I think
the idea is that we really just want to get
some continuity in his body. He's obviously had a bit
of an interrupted preseason, and yeah, once we get him
back in, we wanted to be ready to go. So
(34:41):
I think he'll yeah, play Waffle potentially this week.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
It's pretty good last week.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Yeah, yeah, I sort of think he's really he's building
and making great progress. So I think just minutes minutes
into his body is really important and you don't want
to rush that back and you want to have him
right and ready to go so he can play the
rest of the year. So yeah, I don't think he'll
play this week, but he's tracking really well.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Fifty nine games in so this is Derby sixty. It's
Eagles thirty three three twenty six. That's the Ledger at
this point in time, and it's gone. Yeah when you
consider it was nine zip in the early gay because
that early Eagles team in the nineties didn't want to
lose one.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Yeah, they were a good side, good side early on.
So yeah, I know we've made some ground, which is nice.
Hopefully we can keep pushing.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Yeah, there was one a piece last year, wasn't that.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, And what about you?
Speaker 4 (35:25):
How are you looking for I'm looking good. Yeah, I've
been traveling really well. The plan at the moment is
to return to play next week, so yeah, yeah, I
would have loved to make it back for the Derby,
but these things you just can't rush, and it's a
long year, so to make sure we tick all the
boxes and get.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
It right and you don't want to regret that.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
And I also want to when I come back to player,
when I feel really confident and feel good. So I'm
looking forward to that. But there's still you know, it
was weaking a bit to go, so got some important
sessions to get through big training system tomorrow, So looking
forward to it.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Hey, Hay, and I just want to bring up one thing, mate.
You've mentioned somebody young players in both teams, but talking
about free inside the club, is there an instruction because
a lot of young guys you're looking at social media
and stuff, and straight after the last two games it's
been a lot of vitriol online. Do you just ignore that?
Is there an instruction to ignore it and not look
at all, or what's the world or you keep it
up to yourselves?
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Yeah, there certainly is an instruction too, but it is
so hard at this day and age, particularly with the
young players, and I suppose I've become quite quite good
at just blocking it out. And I just feel like
I'm so used to overreactions now that you just don't
read into anything so yeah, I'm quite good at but yeah,
these young players, this might be very new to them.
(36:36):
So it's something that you've got to support them through
and if they've got any issues or if they feel
pressure or but yeah, Jay was pretty good at, like,
you know, acknowledging the people are going to say things
we can't control that week control what we can control.
And I think that's what was good about our review
yesterday is that you know, people could have been reading things,
young players might have been reading things going oh god,
(36:57):
this is going to be a tough review, and like
the pressures on, I think j always just took it
for what it was and yeah, it was really honest
with his feedback and acknowledges the positive things and just
ignores that we're on the right path and this is
a good step in the right direction. And I think
we all walked out of the room thinking, oh, okay.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
This is good.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yeah, because four points the other way the comments, none
of those comments would have been exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
So you can't you can't overreact to those things because
like you said, we could be walking away with four
points and everyone's happy. So we got to acknowledge that
A large part of our game is in good order.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah, well, bounce down is three ten on Sunday at
OPTAs Stadium for Derby number sixty.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Good luck than wrapping you and cotton wool for another week, mate,
gets back out there.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
The Pirates of Penzance has honored His Majesty's Theater from
this Friday until April five, just the one week. Basically.
Tickets are available through Waopera dot asn dot AU and
the star of the show, Ben Mingey is joining us.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
Hello Ben, Ben, Hello, lads, very cleosy, good Ben.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
I love Gilbert and Sullivan. They are the masters of
the uproariously silly, and you play the pirate king in
this indeed, So is it the most fun you can
have playing a pirate on stage?
Speaker 6 (38:17):
Yeah, I'd say it is. It's definitely a lot of fun.
I think, you know, Gilbert and Sullivan is one of
those ye know, it's one of those situations where you
can't not have fun. It's just very intelligent music. So
I think, you know, it's one of those ones that
everybody enjoys.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Seeing so many actors run around in this role. That
and you know John English and the like. It's a
very physical role too. And you have to be in shape.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
Yeah it is. Actually there's a lot of sword play
and a lot of leaping over barrels and climbing ships
and feeling about. So, yeah it is. And the costumes
are quite elaborate. They're very impressive, so they're also quite heavy.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
I guess any man who could say to his nine
year old self, one day you will be leaping over
barrels and playing with swords on stage, that's you would think, Oh,
you dream had come true.
Speaker 6 (39:09):
Yeah, absolutely kicked the box living the dream.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Now is it true band that you basically got into
this Beers on a Dare?
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Yeah, that is true. Actually I grew up grew up
in Newcastle and when I left school, I worked on
the F three Bypass, which was the bypass that basically
bypasses Newcastle. And we were sitting around at Smoker having
a couple of scallops and a coke and one of
(39:41):
the guys pulled out this clipping from the newspaper for
auditions for the Conservatorium for Opera Voice. And because I
sang in a rock band, they all sort of issould
audition for this, and you know you're a singer. I'm like, yeah,
but I'm not that sort of singer.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
Anyway, they all threw in fifty bucks each and a
couple of cartains of beer. A dead met to audition.
So yeah, yeah, loaded up on my best king JS
and went in and sang songs and got the goods.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
That's one of the great stories of showbiz.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I guess they were potato scullops. Now it's all scullops.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
And did those books want their money back? Are they
have they invested?
Speaker 6 (40:21):
I'll tell you what if it was, if it was
the other tibe of scallops, I wouldn't have been sitting
around on a construction side.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I think probably not. But you know, having gigs like
you did back in the day, it's probably helped you
with a few roles, has it over the years? Oh
you mean the old rock gigs, rock gigs or even
just some of some of the jobs you did, you know,
working in construction.
Speaker 6 (40:43):
Yeah, definitely, I think, you know, there's there's definitely a
lot of bonuses, a lot of pros for me having
gone through that that sort of route. You know, it's
I think there's nothing more valuable than to sort of
get on the on the ground on tool than and
really do some hard yak to realize what what's what?
(41:04):
And you know, just to the people I met doing
all that sort of stuff, you know, working in the
construction game, there's such such grounded down to people and
I feel like, you know, you can always bring a
lot of that into your acting, because acting is all
the way out truth. So it's it's all very very
much a learning experience, I think, good experience.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
So, Ben, you were absolutely marvelous as Alan Bond in
the House of Bond obviously a very big story here
in Perth. Did you Did you know much about Bondie
and the story before.
Speaker 6 (41:35):
You, well the role really, I never would have thought
in a million years that I'd play Alan Bond. Maybe
I fired as a nine year old and double definitely.
But but you know what was really interesting is is
I do have some very good friends here in pers
(41:58):
Colin Judy, and they they sort of, you know, filled
me in on a bit of a bit of Bondie
sort of antiques when they found out I got the role.
And I had a friend of ours and Robbie, who
lived back in Newcastle. They were sailors and they used
to make sailors and rob actually sailed with Bondie. So
I got all these amazing stories about the America's Cup
(42:20):
sort of and and it was great. And to do
all the research and you know, go down that rabbit
hole of researching Bondie was was fascinating. I mean, what
a what a bloke didn't hold I didn't hold back
at all. And and to sort of revisit all those
like I've got to Sail, you know, the actual Australia
(42:41):
America's Cuppars which was which was pretty cool. And you know,
I think I think to play such an icon was
was a real treat and a real honor and a
lot of hard work. But I think it was definitely
one of the one of the more proud sort of.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
Projects that I have And BONDI like Bondie like a
skull someone else paid for a long lunch on a
Friday doing that's funny.
Speaker 6 (43:07):
Actually I went for a drive, yes, just around just
to have a look at a few things. And yeah,
going to like les Nerdy and all these places which
I referred to in the in the bond and you know,
looking at the map where I was going to go
for a drive up ye and Ship to see what
that was like. It's great. I mean such a great place.
(43:30):
I really really enjoy coming here.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
City was Bondi's dream, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (43:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Yeah, a lot of fun facts about you, Ben. You're
a stunt driver and a fire breather.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Far anything you don't there anything?
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Well, you sail, you drive, you're seeing, you dance, your
sword play.
Speaker 6 (43:48):
There's there's a lot of strings to my bow. Yeah,
I mean, look the fire breathing was that was not
something which I trained at a young age. Came I
actually hear from the first gig I ever did, and
the director It was Hair the musical and the director.
But has anybody got the special talents?
Speaker 5 (44:09):
You know?
Speaker 6 (44:09):
Loving if someone could fibreathe and I just put my
hand up, being young and green, I'll give it a go.
But okay, we just needed to see your certification for
to whip down the circular key on the weekend and
get certified by a street performer that I could fibreeth.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
It harks back to that f one in Newcastle. Sets
you up for anything.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
You're talking about. Young Ben's thinking you might be Bond
one day. But would young nine year old Ben have
thought you'd work with Mel Gibson, mate that's pretty cool.
Speaker 6 (44:41):
I'll tell you what that was. That was definitely a
Unicorn moment. There's definitely nothing nothing like walking into the
final callback and seeing a whole panel of the biggest
producers in the world and casting directors and then Mel
Gibson standing up and coming over and giving you a target.
It's like, oh Jesus, yeah, yeah. It was a very
(45:03):
surreal experience. And you know, here's a bit of Pirates
trivia for you. When you were filming one of the
one of the big battle scenes out it's out of

Speaker 2 (00:32):
James Patterson, You've already released four books this year and
you have five available for pre As someone, as someone
whose favorite hobby is to read, I wish I had
one good book in me. I mean, that's just amazing.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Coming from you. You are prolific, prolific and good. Yeah.
I have a big imagination. My time here is short.
What can I do most beautifully?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
And for me, it's writing stories that people can't put down.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh that's just how I like them.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
So we got we've got a couple of them. What
we got the Women's murder club, which is you know,
Alice crosses all over the place because he's on Prime
Video and whatever, but actually the biggest around the world
is a women's murder club. So we got a new one,
twenty five Alive. Yes, and it's all about these four
women who you know wants a homicide detective, Ones, a sister,
(01:26):
d a ones, a lawyer and and they're the kind
of friends we all wish we had, yes, and they
and they love to get together and solve murders.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Very good jimes. You mentioned the were prolific. We said,
prolific and great. But what are your fans like They
obviously they rolled up to book signings and heard.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
They're all they love to hear. They love to hear
a good story. Everybody does, you know exactly, And that's
what I try to do. The other one that's that's
I think out right now is Two Sisters Murder Investigation.
And it's kind of the weird family business. Two sisters.
One's sixteen years old and she's you know, sort of
(02:07):
Internet obsessed and the other one is sort of a lawyer,
just in minded kind of lawyer. Yeah, and they don't
get along on anything, but they're really they're really fun.
And actually I wrote that one with Candace Fox, who
is a very good Australian writer. So those two two
Sisters Murder Investigations, and then and then The Woman's Murder Club.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I think we spoked to Canada when the last one
came out. And I love what you're write with Candace
Fox doing. But do you enjoy collaborating with other people?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Candace No, Oh, no, my god, she's awful. She's no,
she's great. I do, I do. She's really a lot
of fun. He has a big imagination, she's very lively,
and she's got a new little daughter, not so new
right now, but yeah, yeah, so yeah, we we have
a great time doing our books. Two Sisters, there's a
(02:56):
lot of fun and it's funnier the one is Matt Club.
Isn't this fun? He has two sisters and a lot
of that is Candace because she's off the wall, and
and between the two of us, I think we tell
a pretty good story.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I'ty tell us on your birthday on the weekend that
you didn't work? Were you please not writing? Were you
doing something to spoil yourself on my birthday? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, we had a son down here and and my
three sisters, and and they all love me, but they
don't like each other. So it was perfect, just like
just like Canda, just like Rohnda and baby Bird and
two sisters.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Minus three.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Right, you and I share a birthday. Actually mine was

Happy birthday birthday weeks anyway, did you hear that class?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, another.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Attention.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Have you ever written a character named it after someone
you didn't like then killed them off?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah? Well the time. No, I don't want that many
people I don't like to. I'm pretty open about people.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, maybe the occasional reviewer.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Well, yeah, there are a couple of those.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
You're generals of them are pretty kind. Yeah, you are
a generous soul. Those countless grunts and scholarships over the
years to so many institutions. I mean, was it just
something that you felt like, when you've got some success,
you just wanted to give back, you know, I don't.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Take the credit. My mom and my grandmother that was
this their deal to give away stuff. And yeah, we've
given away one hundred and sixty million dollars, So it's
a lot. You know, my poor son is going to
inherit nothing but.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Well, James, can I don't know when you have the time,
but can I ask what was the last book you
read and loved?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I just read a new Michael Connolly that's not out yet.
Michael's a friend of my fact, I'm interviewing him Friday.
I do a little thing online interviews. So yeah, and
his new one is he's a he's a terrific mystery
writer as well. Yeah, not to compare myself to Michael,
but yeah, that was that the most recent. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I think some of his stuff has been made into
TV shows, has it or.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
But enough about him?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, enough about it?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, yeah, they have, they have, they have. Yeah, we

on TV, and we have I don't know if the
Idaho murders a de get over there, that whole those
terrible those four young kids in college, I think, uh, yeah,

(05:28):
terrible crime. I murdered these four college kids in their dormitory. Yeah,
and that's going to come on Amazon as well or
on Prime Video as a documentary.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, Madam fascinated by the writing process process. Do you
have a favorite room, a favorite desk. Do you work
on the laptop or I don't care.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, I don't work for a living. I play for Yeah,
I I I write seven days a week. Yeah, I met.
I'm at one of my desks in my office. I
haven't a place on the ocean, so I have to
make sure I put the block down so I'm not
looking at the ocean. But I have a couple of
desks in here, and I'll go back and forth between
(06:06):
the desks, and you know, so so if I like
right now with the two books with the Woman's Murder
Club and the Two Sisters, I might you know, if
I'm writing those series, I might write them at the
different desks, just like that trick myself, right.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You know, everything will be a Florida story.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I've done a couple of stories in Florida stories as well. Yeah,
came down to visit us here. She loved it. It's
not hard to get people here. We just President Clinton.

Jeremy Piven is coming to town. He is coming in August.
He's going to be at the Asta Theater Wednesday, August six.
Tickets are available through ticket Tech and he's joining us
this morning. Good morning, Jeremy Piven.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Hey, welcome Jeremy.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Thank you guys.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
How are you Have you been to Perth before?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
I've never been to Perth in my life, but I
can't wait to go. I've heard incredible things.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well a distant city, been different to anywhere else. But yeah,
and there's a lot of love for you.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Human I can't wait to feel it. I want to
get there and make people laugh and we need it
right now.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, we do it. Well, you'll definitely feel that. The
Asterid's a great venue to do a show. What what
kind of things do you cover off in your in
your stand up show.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
I talk about I do topical stuff, observational stuff, stories, impressions.
I'm all over the map, I'm everywhere.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Right, we've said, you nailed it. We need a lot
right now. But there is a lot of stuff going on.
It's funny, just funny. Is it getting a little bit
hotter as people get a bit more sensitive?
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Yeah, I don't. I think you just don't even go there.
You just speak the truth as you know it, and
that's going to be polarizing, and you know not everyone's
going to love you, but you just jump in. And
I think right now, if if you get really offended
by someone making jokes, that's on you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yes, you know what I mean, absolutely, Why should it
be the jokers? But don't turn off, don't this whatever,
Do what you gotta do. But it's nothing to do
with Jeremy. Jeremy, You've been around for quite a while now.
So if I don't mean any offense. The first time
I saw you was in the best show of the nineties,
the Larry Sanders Show. Yes, that must have been an
(09:23):
incredible experience to work on that show. It was such
a novel concept that.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
It was a brilliant show. Yeah, it was the backstage
life of a talk show that was so good that
people even thought it was a real talk show.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Garry Shandling was a genius, and I played the head writer,
and I was right out of college, and it was
just an incredible experience for me. I just learned so much.
It kind of kicked off original program programming at HBO,
and then I did Entourage for about a decade with them.
So I've been at HBO for a while.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
That Ari Gold character, when you've I just read that,
did you just go this is familiar? And no one
else is getting their hands on it because it's such
a classic character.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
You know, you would laugh because the way they used
to do it, you would only get the pilot and
then they would green light it. And then so in
the pilot Ari Gold had one scene and he wasn't
even as fleshed out as he became, So I knew
what it could be because my agent was Ari Emmanuel,
(10:27):
who the characters based on, So unbeknownst to me, I
had been doing you know, I was like a drama tour.
I had been doing my homework for a very long
time on the character, and so I got very lucky
and I knew. I knew intrinsically what Ari Emmanuel slash
Ari Gold was like and the dualities of that character
who you thought was a pig, but he was really
(10:49):
monogamous to his wife. He was all bark and no bite.
He was you know, hot tempered and all those beautiful things.
So I knew that if we got it right, that
people would be fascinated with the backstage life of Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, some of his verbal barrages script together words I
didn't think I'd ever hear all in one sentence. But
was there much ad lib involved in in Ari? On
your end?
Speaker 5 (11:15):
You know, I am my background. Part of my background
is sketch, comedy, improv and all that stuff, and so
I've been writing on my feet my whole life, and
i love to be able to contribute. But Doug Allen,
who wrote it, wrote a very tight, perfect, beautiful script,
and you know, he he didn't want me you know,
he wanted me to stick to the script and I
(11:36):
was honored to do it. And then I would kind
of beg and plead for a free take, and I
would I would kind of go off, and every once
in a while, like I would say something in an
improvisational moment like let's hug it out, bitch, something like that,
and it would kind of make it in, but not
not a lot. Not a lot. So I you know,
(11:59):
that's why I'm doing stand up, so so I can
let my hands go and just you know, have fun
and freestyle.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That's like a Robin Williams clause, isn't it. Didn't they didn't.
They often promise Robin a free take at the end
of him reading you know, the script and let him go.
So that's what we can expect at your stand up show.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Yeah, I mean, you know, be careful what you wish for.
I love the freedom. I just love being able to
just show up, grab the mic and just kind of
take off and and also selfishly have people get a
sense of who I am. You know, they may think,
you know, how could you possibly know me? You may
know me from these characters, but you don't know that
(12:42):
I'm a stage actor from Chicago when I grew up
on the stage, and I've got this amazing family and
and everything that went along with it. So you know,
it's it's a way of I know how to give
the people what they want, but also do it, you know,
in a way that shows who I am and where
I come from.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, I'm being an Entorage superfan. Might have to tell
a couple of plagious to your incredible body of work,
because all I did when I said when I was
talking to you that I lied. Did Risley actually get
caught upset on a regular basis with you yelling his
nay might or he just sometimes just crack out?
Speaker 5 (13:14):
You know? He Rex is a very interesting guy. I
mean he Rex was an assistant. You know, he is Asian.
He is gay. He is a gay Asian assistant who
was working in the cat or as Ari Gold said
Gaijin gaig uh, and you know he he just entered
(13:38):
into that character and we were like a perfect match
for each other, two people that you would never expect
to be in the same room together, and it was
just magical. And to Doug Allen's credit, he could see
chemistry and then explore it heightened that and you know,
and then you know, I've done the best work of
my life now with this.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
I don't know if you can see that. I have
his poster behind the Foremance, which comes out this year,
and it's an Arthur Miller short story that my sister
adapted and I produced and started. And you know, guys
like you know Adam Garcia and Aussie Yes is in
my film with me and Robert Carlisle. And it's definitely
(14:17):
it's I feel like it's kind of the best work
of my life. And it took me fifteen years to make,
and I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Fifteen years and with your sister, it's a telling fam.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, labor of love. I read that you have but
a desire to play Keith Moon from the Who because
you play drums. Is that something you still would love
to do? Any closer to that dream?
Speaker 5 (14:41):
You know? I wonder if I'm too old to play
Keith Moon. But then I realized Keith Moon, you know,
was such a rock star that he looked way older than.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
He did he did did.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Yeah, maybe I can still you know, at one hundred
and twenty years old, I can still play him.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
As long as you could drive a Charen to a
swimming pool. You'll be real good because he was a
fascinating character. Keith Man, Yeah, he was.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
He was definitely the original rock star. Yeah. And also,
you know, a brilliant drummer. That story needs to be told.
There's a lot of stories that I'm after right now,
and I don't want I don't want to say too
many of them because I almost feel like, to be
honest with you, sometimes when you say things, you put
it out into the universe, and like, you know, you
(15:27):
better be getting after it. Otherwise it's just talk. Someone
else can grab it and run with it.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I hate to be like a little bitch.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
But to be cautious's close. And I'm speaking of Keith
of a podcast with Roger Adultry and Pete Tanzen recently,
and I said that behind everything else, Keith Moon was
a He's a very he was a very caring man,
you know, very sweet man to the people that he trusted.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
I bet you know, I bet he was. And he
was also a brilliant musician and an absolute beautiful lunatic.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Well, I think Ringo Starr said that that he locked
him in a house and put a rhino in there
with him that was smashing in the things like there
was no one crazier.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I love it.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Well.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You can catch Sharing Me Pivot at the Astra Theater
on Wednesday, August sixth. Tickets are available through Ticke Tech
and the Performance. How do we get around that, Jeremy, You.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Know what, I hope by the time I get there
with you guys, we have we have a release date,
or I'll just bring the film with me in my
hands and I will make you watch it.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, we want to do that. Coming here, coming to
ninety six of him.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
All right, Jeremy, thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
This morning's been a privilege.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Man. Thank you. I'll see you soon in a few months.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Thanks August, see you at the So good More Crazy
More podcasts.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
In recent years, in very recent years, in the overall
scheme of things, everyone's got all you know, yeah, don't
hurt over everything, and shows like Entourage would be considered problematic.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
A little bit too risky. Yourecon a little bit.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Too risk So this morning we want to talk about
what you reckon wouldn't get made now if they tried
to make it now. I would say, if you tried
to make little Britain now struggle you'd get this response?
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Can I have word with the manager computers?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I reckon for sure?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Woul No, Yeah, yeah, Well you think about someone like
Chris Lillly in Australia canceled a few years ago, didn't
he really well yeah, yeah, it's going to get idiots.
What about that whole lineup of British seventies British none
of us? Okay, so none of the through the list
he served? No, No on the buses.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
No, leave something for the other people. Sorry on the
buses not No, probably not what probably wouldn't get made? Now,
Brody in Jodler, what do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Brady?
Speaker 7 (18:19):
I believed would be that.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Might Straggle.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Think Robert Downey Junior would be allowed to do?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah, I think about battle like some of the foot Show.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Yeah, I think a lot of things and that I
personally love a very Yeah, but apart from the even
friends is problematic at this point in time, A bit
difficult topic thunder.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Thanks Brady, Brady.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
That's that's probably the only time I've ever liked Tom
Cruise except for risky business.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Risky.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Danielle in Armadale, what do you reckon wouldn't get made.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Now, I think mash one of my all time favorites.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
You think.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Not time, yea, what do you think?
Speaker 7 (19:06):
It was full of people having a listening in affairs
and they were sexually all over the place, and yeah,
it wasn't ideal for definitely wouldn't get mad.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Slinger would be allowed to use this, yeah maybe not,
maybe not.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
I think he would be the only one that would
be acceptable.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, but they wouldn't be able to take the mickey
out of it.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Definitely not.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, well that Frank was a bit of a silk.
He might fit in with a lot of people these days.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Frank was the title so I loved Frank.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It's not a competition. Frank lips would.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Him The text has gone completely nuts. Tim in Rockingham
says any mel Brooks movie. Adam and Gingerly says, Saturday
Disney with Agro. You're right, we were watching a little
Agro sketch the other day. He talked about a pencil
with you know something. Anyway, Brendon in Harrisdale said Kingswood Country. Now,
(20:04):
there's been a lot of votes for Kingswood Country a
few so many reasons why they wouldn't make Kingswood Country
Now one of the greatest shows at your time.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
And some of those British shows we talk about, you know,
love thy Neighbors, going to mention I Love my Neighbors
one of the ones that would be top of the list.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah, Lisa and Palmelia said, The Kenny Everett Show, Yes
there's another Kingswood Country, the Paul Hogan Show. Are you
being said? So many stuff?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I guess the stuff we got away with it. You
just wouldn't now on the Telly, let's go to ellen Brook, Josh, but.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
The good Morning, Good Morning? What do you think it
would be Josh?
Speaker 7 (20:37):
I reckon.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah, Well.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
They're making a movie about Cheach and Chong at the moment.
That's going to be awesome. Yeah, Cheach and Chong.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I don't think. You don't thinkure that smoke coming out
of the bongo van would it could be worse?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Thanks, unless you gave that to the people walking into
the into a cinema or something.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
That could there could be a lot worse things. That's right.
Van in Bandine, Hello, what do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's not going to make that.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
I reckon, it's got to be Andy.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Jack, your bloody arms off that's right.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
One huge cross dress or and his little tiny friend
and every.
Speaker 5 (21:32):

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Deal with't they people people have did a month off
work because they were so offend.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
That's so true.
Speaker 1 (21:46):

thought of that for years.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
A couple of people have said, Blazing.
Speaker 1 (21:54):

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I forgot forgot about patting him in the head? Where
do you start?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Where does it end? That's the that's what's being highlighted today.
What about married with children? Matthew and Lake Cougi said,
probably not married with children.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Even our Bundy scratching is boys. He'd get into trouble
for some.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Of these shows, even that long ago. I mean Little
Britain is one that I mean, I just think everything
about Little Britain would be considered problematic with the foot Brigade.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Now that Chris Lily stuff all feels like five minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Ago, it does. It was no and we're not talking
about all the way back on the sixty four. Yeah, anyway,
Darren and ellen Brook said some mothers do have him.
So many we've had so many votes for Kings. Would
very well, that's how true, is it?
Speaker 8 (23:15):
Well?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
So many people would take a fence for so many
different reasons.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
He said, more than just talking about the Kings. Would
Hey what about you? Are awful? But I like you?
Dick Emory wouldn't that show would not last an episode?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
And Kenny Everetts, Oh yes, another one.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
He dressed up and cross his legs.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Andrew and Mount Helena, good morning.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
The Today Show wouldn't stand the test of time.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
There's a whole lot of them.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
The one that stood out for me wascaly, I don't
reckon that. Let them get away with some of the
one liners.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
They gave, especially about the church, but.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Stereotypical dun blonde yeah, yeah, yeah, wasn't it sad?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah? Thanks, thanks for throwing your hat in the ring.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Thanks Andrew, you do last call Sue's import Kennedy, Hello.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Hello, how are you good?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
What do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
I m Jeanie.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
You don't think, you don't think?
Speaker 6 (24:21):
So imagine the whole master.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
People get up locked in her bottle. You can't call
it the bottle, call it the master bedroom anymore. So
there you go.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh, yes, you're so right.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, completely subservient to Major Nelson, wasn't you.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, that's what was you know. Bewitched was always sort
of the opposite of that, because Samantha didn't take anything
for the roost. But it's just horrible to think that
people can be offended by a dream of Janie. But
they would be.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Definitely I agree with Yeah, but they get upset at
Gilligan's Island with ginger and there being sexy.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
And I probably yes, yeah, thanks missing out.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
I know.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Really we're talking about different times.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
The Sure Report on ninety six AM.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yesterday, Mariah Carey won her copyright lawsuit over All I
Want for Christmas, But today Miley Cyrus has failed in
her attempt to make a copyright lawsuit filed against her
for her song Flowers Go Away. A judge rejected Miley
and her co defendant's motion to dismiss the suit. That
means the copyright infringement file by Tempo Music Investments can
(25:40):
proceed now. Tempo is a part owner of the copyright
of the Bruno Mars song When I Was Your Man,
and argues that Flowers is substantially similar to Bruno's hit.
It's not even so much about the sound, it's the
similarity in the lyrics that's the problem. In Miley's song,
she talks about buying her self flowers and holding her
own hand, and Bruno sings, I should have brought you
flowers and held your hand. To be fair, they do
(26:04):
sound a bit the same too. I'll keep you posted.
Two years ago, a video of Pedro Pascal went viral
because of his Starbucks coffee order. You can see what's
written on his coffee cup in the video, A niced
espresso with a lot of coffee six shots. Two years
down the track on Jimmy Kimmel Live, He's joked about
it going viral.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
I cannot begin to tell you how violating this was.
There's so much context to why it has become six
shots of espresso. It was always a quad, but then
I feel like the cups got bigger, and I don't know,
the shots got less strong, and at some point it
became six. And it was an incredibly private morning ritual
that I never wanted anyone to know about it. I
(26:44):
don't have more coffee for the rest of the day.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
I swear it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
But some of those cups are like buckets, and I
don't think Starbucks coffee even tastes like coffee. By the way,
so you've watched You've started watching Adolescents on Netflix, Yes,
last night. I've been bugging you about this for a
couple of weeks. Now it is the show of the moment.
Stephen Graham is amazing, the kid's amazing. In fact, every
episode is filmed in one take. Blows my mind. That
(27:11):
mustle cop guy basically that episode because he's got a
lot of dialogue and he's constantly on the move. And
he said, I read him. He said, you don't say
no to Stephen Graham. But when he got on set,
he thought, what have I got myself in for? He
went home crying because he just could.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And now Adolescents has shattered a significant barrier in the
UK television landscape. It just became that the first streaming
show to claim top spot in their weekly TV ratings.
You must get around this show if you have to
get Netflix to watch it.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Changed. It's It's good Telly and he just kept eating apples.
It's trying to get up the smokes with Yeah, unreal.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
More Cleazya more podcast Soon.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
You under the Lethal left foot.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I strut grabbed that from ninety six a Freemantle Docker.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Window and Door Replacement company. Give your home and new
leaves online with Perth Window and Door Replacement Company, the
number one name in the game to book your free
quote search per Window and Door. After leaving for much
of the game, the doc has lost to Sydney just
by three points at Optics Stadium in front of over
forty three thousand fans on Sunday. It was sixty eight
to sixty five. Young How are you mate?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I'm good good morning, good morning, good good.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
It would have been nicer with the four points, wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
It It would have. Yeah, it's a tough one. Sometimes
those losses can can be harder than you know, getting
smashed and play.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
They would always be harder.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Because, yeah, we actually felt like we played some pretty
good footing and we yeah, I felt like we controlled
the game. Yeah, for much of the evening. It was just, yeah,
we just fell short in the end there. And yeah,
it's quite tricky when you've you've got a short lead
and you feel like you need to score again to
put them to bed. And at times that can get
of course some issues for you because you might rush yourself,
(29:07):
for you feel the pressure that we need to score again,
but you forget that you are still winning and you're
in the lead, and there might be three minutes to go,
but you don't have to rush and score. I suppose
put it to bed, and I suppose that might have
been a lesson on the weekend. Was Yeah, we probably
didn't deal with that last few minutes very well. But
when we look at the whole game is in entirety,
(29:29):
we actually played some really good footing and I suppose
that's the positive we're taking out of it. And we
want to keep imposing our brand for longer, and the
longer we can do that, the more we're going to
be in games.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yeah, but adding insult close injury was how close it
came at the end too, with Jamus marking inside fifty.
But what was it just after the siren?
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Yeah, it's funny. I've spoken two more seconds of people
that were sort of in the stands, and I think
in the stands it's harder to hear the sign. People
didn't know and they were thinking what's going on. I
was in the box and I heard the siren, and
I was also watching the sort of the clock on
the TV, and yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, it was.
It was stressful, but yeah, I think it was obviously
(30:11):
a little just just after the sirens. So, like you say,
we could if that was a second earlier giant mark
so that potentially kicks a goal and we could be
sitting there going.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
How good, What a great response effort exactly.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
So yeah, we gotta we gotta look at it for
what it is. It was a better, better response than
the weak before.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
So take it.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
When you were saying kick kick it, you've been banished
from the coaches box.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Yeah, yeah, I got got sent with the rest of
the playing group, which is good though, because yeah, it's yeah,
everyone else in the room sort of joins in. It's
everyone gets pretty emotional and gets yeah involved in the game,
so it's it's better, probably better viewing than the coaching box.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah. Foot is a funny game, isn't it. It can be.
It's a real level over and all the rest of it.
So you've got a young player from Sydney, Carter Marty,
who really struggled to really make his stamp on the
Grand Final last year, had a pretty dirty day and
then he's got that one and that went out with
Brendan Cox right at the end of the game. And
poor Cox he got sort of pushed out of the
way and that kind of thing and kicked the goal
which which put them in front. But for Brendan Cox,
(31:13):
that's a tough one because you're he looked tanked and
when you're stuffed at the end of the game on
a hot day like that, how do you handle something
like that when that when Yeah, because it comes in
and everyone's focusing on the one thing.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah, yeah, I think, and I like after the game,
everyone's disappointed and Cox he certainly felt really disappointed, but
I think we're all pretty aware that it wasn't that
one moment crossed the game and we really assured him
of that. And yeah, Marty, you know, he's a good
player and he had a good moment and he kicked
the goal and but certainly not Coxy's fault and will
(31:42):
support him in that. And yeah, there was a lot
that we did right in the day. There was a
few things that we did wrong, and we've addressed that
and I think largely were pretty positive with with our performance.
And we want to keep I suppose reinforcing that the
good things, because if we're just a negative and if
we ride the emotions of a loss, it's probably not
(32:02):
going to help us going forward. So we've got to
take it for what it is, and yeah, take the
good things and keep moving.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Do you know if Brandon Walker is okay? He seemed
to hurt his shoulder.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Yeah, I think he's okay. I'm not sure. He went
and got scans and I think they're speaking to specialists
about the best way forward. So I don't know what
the plan is going forward, but I'm assuming he'll miss
some time. Yeah, but yeah, we wish him all the best.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Josh Tracey has just become a big power forward, one
of the stars of the AOFL now, hasn't he He has.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Yeah, he's just gone from strength to strength. Yeah, It's
just really good seeing a big key forward take a
game by the scraff of the neck and really lead.
And I think that's what's growing in his game over
the last year and a half is he's really become
a leader for our forward line and our team. And
I think he brings a lot of energy and I
suppose when he's playing, well we all sort of stand
(32:50):
a bit taller. And yeah, he gets the crowd involved,
and yeah, he's playing some really good footing which is great.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Well it's Derby Day on Sunday, Derby number sixty, which
is unbelievable. Both teams of course desperate to be the
one that you know, gets those points. It's going to
make for a great game.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
It will, it will always does. Yeah, there's always it
doesn't matter where the teams are at or what the
I suppose owing to to, it's always going to be
a great, great battle. And yeah, we're really looking forward
to it. I think someone told me it's the most
inexperienced Derby game for both sides. Yeah, yeah, I think
(33:31):
there's just you know, with the out and bolt is out,
so yeah, some fresh faces out there.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Which is fresh blood, really inexperienced.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, exactly, so a youthful, youthful Geff and Darling retiring, Yeah,
as well as.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Crips is the only two hundred game player. Wow, So yeah,
it's Yeah, it's a new feel to it, and yeah,
with youth comes a bit of excitement. So I'm looking
forward to seeing our young mids, some of our new players.
Murphy Reid in his first Who's on the weekend when
he touched the ball of the crowd sort of it's
pretty if they're a fan favorite, which is exciting, so
(34:09):
hopefully he can you light it up on the derby.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Makes it more exciting to watch when it's an unknown quantity.
I don't know how it's going to go. Is NAP
five like likely at all?
Speaker 4 (34:20):
To be not sure, I don't experience, I'm not, I
don't think so. He's played the last two weeks on
managed minutes, so this week's his first opportunity to play
sort of a full game, and I think I think
the idea is that we really just want to get
some continuity in his body. He's obviously had a bit
of an interrupted preseason, and yeah, once we get him
back in, we wanted to be ready to go. So
(34:41):
I think he'll yeah, play Waffle potentially this week.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
It's pretty good last week.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Yeah, yeah, I sort of think he's really he's building
and making great progress. So I think just minutes minutes
into his body is really important and you don't want
to rush that back and you want to have him
right and ready to go so he can play the
rest of the year. So yeah, I don't think he'll
play this week, but he's tracking really well.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Fifty nine games in so this is Derby sixty. It's
Eagles thirty three three twenty six. That's the Ledger at
this point in time, and it's gone. Yeah when you
consider it was nine zip in the early gay because
that early Eagles team in the nineties didn't want to
lose one.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Yeah, they were a good side, good side early on.
So yeah, I know we've made some ground, which is nice.
Hopefully we can keep pushing.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Yeah, there was one a piece last year, wasn't that.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, And what about you?
Speaker 4 (35:25):
How are you looking for I'm looking good. Yeah, I've
been traveling really well. The plan at the moment is
to return to play next week, so yeah, yeah, I
would have loved to make it back for the Derby,
but these things you just can't rush, and it's a
long year, so to make sure we tick all the
boxes and get.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
It right and you don't want to regret that.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
And I also want to when I come back to player,
when I feel really confident and feel good. So I'm
looking forward to that. But there's still you know, it
was weaking a bit to go, so got some important
sessions to get through big training system tomorrow, So looking
forward to it.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Hey, Hay, and I just want to bring up one thing, mate.
You've mentioned somebody young players in both teams, but talking
about free inside the club, is there an instruction because
a lot of young guys you're looking at social media
and stuff, and straight after the last two games it's
been a lot of vitriol online. Do you just ignore that?
Is there an instruction to ignore it and not look
at all, or what's the world or you keep it
up to yourselves?
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Yeah, there certainly is an instruction too, but it is
so hard at this day and age, particularly with the
young players, and I suppose I've become quite quite good
at just blocking it out. And I just feel like
I'm so used to overreactions now that you just don't
read into anything so yeah, I'm quite good at but yeah,
these young players, this might be very new to them.
(36:36):
So it's something that you've got to support them through
and if they've got any issues or if they feel
pressure or but yeah, Jay was pretty good at, like,
you know, acknowledging the people are going to say things
we can't control that week control what we can control.
And I think that's what was good about our review
yesterday is that you know, people could have been reading things,
young players might have been reading things going oh god,
(36:57):
this is going to be a tough review, and like
the pressures on, I think j always just took it
for what it was and yeah, it was really honest
with his feedback and acknowledges the positive things and just
ignores that we're on the right path and this is
a good step in the right direction. And I think
we all walked out of the room thinking, oh, okay.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
This is good.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yeah, because four points the other way the comments, none
of those comments would have been exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
So you can't you can't overreact to those things because
like you said, we could be walking away with four
points and everyone's happy. So we got to acknowledge that
A large part of our game is in good order.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah, well, bounce down is three ten on Sunday at
OPTAs Stadium for Derby number sixty.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Good luck than wrapping you and cotton wool for another week, mate,
gets back out there.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
The Pirates of Penzance has honored His Majesty's Theater from
this Friday until April five, just the one week. Basically.
Tickets are available through Waopera dot asn dot AU and
the star of the show, Ben Mingey is joining us.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
Hello Ben, Ben, Hello, lads, very cleosy, good Ben.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
I love Gilbert and Sullivan. They are the masters of
the uproariously silly, and you play the pirate king in
this indeed, So is it the most fun you can
have playing a pirate on stage?
Speaker 6 (38:17):
Yeah, I'd say it is. It's definitely a lot of fun.
I think, you know, Gilbert and Sullivan is one of
those ye know, it's one of those situations where you
can't not have fun. It's just very intelligent music. So
I think, you know, it's one of those ones that
everybody enjoys.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Seeing so many actors run around in this role. That
and you know John English and the like. It's a
very physical role too. And you have to be in shape.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
Yeah it is. Actually there's a lot of sword play
and a lot of leaping over barrels and climbing ships
and feeling about. So, yeah it is. And the costumes
are quite elaborate. They're very impressive, so they're also quite heavy.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
I guess any man who could say to his nine
year old self, one day you will be leaping over
barrels and playing with swords on stage, that's you would think, Oh,
you dream had come true.
Speaker 6 (39:09):
Yeah, absolutely kicked the box living the dream.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Now is it true band that you basically got into
this Beers on a Dare?
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Yeah, that is true. Actually I grew up grew up
in Newcastle and when I left school, I worked on
the F three Bypass, which was the bypass that basically
bypasses Newcastle. And we were sitting around at Smoker having
a couple of scallops and a coke and one of
(39:41):
the guys pulled out this clipping from the newspaper for
auditions for the Conservatorium for Opera Voice. And because I
sang in a rock band, they all sort of issould
audition for this, and you know you're a singer. I'm like, yeah,
but I'm not that sort of singer.
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
Anyway, they all threw in fifty bucks each and a
couple of cartains of beer. A dead met to audition.
So yeah, yeah, loaded up on my best king JS
and went in and sang songs and got the goods.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
That's one of the great stories of showbiz.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I guess they were potato scullops. Now it's all scullops.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
And did those books want their money back? Are they
have they invested?
Speaker 6 (40:21):
I'll tell you what if it was, if it was
the other tibe of scallops, I wouldn't have been sitting
around on a construction side.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I think probably not. But you know, having gigs like
you did back in the day, it's probably helped you
with a few roles, has it over the years? Oh
you mean the old rock gigs, rock gigs or even
just some of some of the jobs you did, you know,
working in construction.
Speaker 6 (40:43):
Yeah, definitely, I think, you know, there's there's definitely a
lot of bonuses, a lot of pros for me having
gone through that that sort of route. You know, it's
I think there's nothing more valuable than to sort of
get on the on the ground on tool than and
really do some hard yak to realize what what's what?
(41:04):
And you know, just to the people I met doing
all that sort of stuff, you know, working in the
construction game, there's such such grounded down to people and
I feel like, you know, you can always bring a
lot of that into your acting, because acting is all
the way out truth. So it's it's all very very
much a learning experience, I think, good experience.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
So, Ben, you were absolutely marvelous as Alan Bond in
the House of Bond obviously a very big story here
in Perth. Did you Did you know much about Bondie
and the story before.
Speaker 6 (41:35):
You, well the role really, I never would have thought
in a million years that I'd play Alan Bond. Maybe
I fired as a nine year old and double definitely.
But but you know what was really interesting is is
I do have some very good friends here in pers
(41:58):
Colin Judy, and they they sort of, you know, filled
me in on a bit of a bit of Bondie
sort of antiques when they found out I got the role.
And I had a friend of ours and Robbie, who
lived back in Newcastle. They were sailors and they used
to make sailors and rob actually sailed with Bondie. So
I got all these amazing stories about the America's Cup
(42:20):
sort of and and it was great. And to do
all the research and you know, go down that rabbit
hole of researching Bondie was was fascinating. I mean, what
a what a bloke didn't hold I didn't hold back
at all. And and to sort of revisit all those
like I've got to Sail, you know, the actual Australia
(42:41):
America's Cuppars which was which was pretty cool. And you know,
I think I think to play such an icon was
was a real treat and a real honor and a
lot of hard work. But I think it was definitely
one of the one of the more proud sort of.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
Projects that I have And BONDI like Bondie like a
skull someone else paid for a long lunch on a
Friday doing that's funny.
Speaker 6 (43:07):
Actually I went for a drive, yes, just around just
to have a look at a few things. And yeah,
going to like les Nerdy and all these places which
I referred to in the in the bond and you know,
looking at the map where I was going to go
for a drive up ye and Ship to see what
that was like. It's great. I mean such a great place.
(43:30):
I really really enjoy coming here.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
City was Bondi's dream, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (43:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Yeah, a lot of fun facts about you, Ben. You're
a stunt driver and a fire breather.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Far anything you don't there anything?
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Well, you sail, you drive, you're seeing, you dance, your
sword play.
Speaker 6 (43:48):
There's there's a lot of strings to my bow. Yeah,
I mean, look the fire breathing was that was not
something which I trained at a young age. Came I
actually hear from the first gig I ever did, and
the director It was Hair the musical and the director.
But has anybody got the special talents?
Speaker 5 (44:09):
You know?
Speaker 6 (44:09):
Loving if someone could fibreathe and I just put my
hand up, being young and green, I'll give it a go.
But okay, we just needed to see your certification for
to whip down the circular key on the weekend and
get certified by a street performer that I could fibreeth.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
It harks back to that f one in Newcastle. Sets
you up for anything.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
You're talking about. Young Ben's thinking you might be Bond
one day. But would young nine year old Ben have
thought you'd work with Mel Gibson, mate that's pretty cool.
Speaker 6 (44:41):
I'll tell you what that was. That was definitely a
Unicorn moment. There's definitely nothing nothing like walking into the
final callback and seeing a whole panel of the biggest
producers in the world and casting directors and then Mel
Gibson standing up and coming over and giving you a target.
It's like, oh Jesus, yeah, yeah. It was a very
(45:03):
surreal experience. And you know, here's a bit of Pirates
trivia for you. When you were filming one of the
one of the big battle scenes out it's out of
the back of Campbelltown on hacks or Ridge. We had
to get everyone to march in time. So Mel Gibson
comes back to me to go, I mean, yeah, you're
you're a you're an offer, and you're a singer, you know,
(45:23):
singing something. So I sang the Pirate King song as
we all march along for it. I don't know if
the movie, but that's happened.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Didn't they say if you're marched in time across the bridge,
you could make the bridge come down. And I don't
know anyway, that's the circle moment. I love that the
Pirates depends answers on his Majesty's Theater from Friday until
next Saturday. Tickets are available through w A Opera dot A,
s N dot au. Ben lovely to catch up with
