This is Clearzy and Lisa's podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Coming up on the podcast Harry Connick.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
Junior, which took your calls on what got you into
trouble at the airport and ben O'Shea talked about Julia
Garner ben around which she doesn't say in the Royal
Hotel like she doesn't knows a poor June Armstrong, seventy
seven year old Kiwi grandmother, is still reeling after coppying
a three thousand, three hundred dollars fine for a chicken sandwich.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Apparently they don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
What that had to do with it in the story,
but they do mention it's a gluten free chicken sandwich.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's still a chicken.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
She had her backpack checked when she arrived at Brisbane
Airport from New Zealand and had forgotten to declare the
chicken sanger.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It was sealed, you know. It was one of those
ones that you're buying that it.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Looks like a little pyramid and she put it seven
dollars airport.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
At the other end, christ Church Airport, she bought a
chicken and lettuce sandwich as you said, gluten free apparently,
and a muffin. She ate the muffin and then she
was going to eat the sanger, but she fell asleep.
So when she arrived and of course you're not slak,
you're all bleary eyed, because this was four o'clock in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
She.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Filled out her declaration form and declared her medication and
so on, but she completely forgot about the sandwich in
the backpack. So then she's going through customs or whatever
it is, and her backpack was checked and they found
the sandwich and she said, oh god, I forgot about that.
Can you just throw it away for me, please, which
the officer did and then said, but there is a
(01:41):
fine yep, and then said, edit's three thousand, three hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
She's seventy seven.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
She's yeah, seventy seven. And it was a sealed chicken sandwich.
Was she just accidentally, you know, she forgot it was in.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
The back hasn't done any harm?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Not really not, you know, I mean they threw it
away border sur.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
The staff member told June she has she could appeal
it within the twenty eight day appeal period, which she did,
but unfortunately she didn't hear anything back, so she had
to pay the fine.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
See that's rough, isn't it rough? Someone used, Yeah, you're
like you watch border security. Does someone out of the back
room eat it and go?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I don't know, but sick and set seal a sealed
sealed chicken sandwich from the airport at the other end,
haven't seen people arrive at border security with bags of
things that there's stuff moving?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Oh, I don't know. Those shows make me feel sick.
What are those things? I don't know because they bring them,
you know, bring some of those things under their delicacies
or things that they hate their family members. Yeah, if
you hate your family, you bring that rubbish. Well, some
things are you know, part of custom and the rest
of it. But caught up in customs because.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Your customs clearly says, yeah, you got to declare it food.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
So by the letter of the law, they haven't done
the wrong thing. But she's suffering because she fell asleep.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
It was right, I mean, I reckon, she got that
officer on at a bad night. I think you're right,
because I think a lot of them would have said,
all right, listen, don't forget your sandwich again.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
But on this occasion, I will throw it out.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Things that would have been he might have also been
a ubie.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
He might nod.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well, we're asking what did you get in trouble for
at the airport?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
In trouble at the airport, No, my gong taken off
me my gong.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
You going in supper. Oh fabulous gong gong really audition
for red faces. It's in a wooden sort of on
a wooden stand. Yeah, and he's gone on.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
The look at this, and I'm like.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
No, not my god took your go really want my

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Okay, we're gonna we'll take it. It gets treated and
then you can come back and pick it up. And
I'm going to cost like thirty bucks or something. So
I was like, okay, I'll do that. And because I
declared it, declared my gon, you put on the gong list.
But I thought he was going to take it away forever,
so I left it. About two weeks later, I get
(04:30):
a call saying, you can come get come.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Get you gone, get you gone, go and get you gone.
Speaker 2 (04:35):

Speaker 3 (04:39):
You go out the bass.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
So you go and get you gone, and it's in
the building, you know, one of the buildings next to
the airport, and it's one of those places that you
don't usually go to, and it's another world. You go
through these doors and there's all sorts of stuff being
displayed that have been that has been you know, confiscated
and take I'm sure I saw a shrunken head.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I'm sure you did. But don't talk about the stuff
out there like that. That's horrible. So tell me, can
you tell me were there any other gongs in the room?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You know what's really is. I was on this trip
with someone that you and I both know. His name
is Jeff Jane and he also bought a gong. Right now,
he's gone through ahead of me.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
He got through throunken head. It's only his gong.
Speaker 2 (05:27):

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Gongs being taken away for treatment. I don't know why
he's gone got through in my gongda.

you know, it could totally make your face look different.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, either putting the bed on or off. Yeah, that's interesting, Aaron.
How'd you go? You get out pretty quickly?
Speaker 6 (06:39):

Australian embassy were good. They they intervened and helped out

Speaker 3 (07:12):

of strife at an airport somewhere?
Speaker 7 (07:24):

And Bertram? Have you?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Well sort of.
Speaker 8 (07:28):
I was used to work up in tom Price, and
when I went to leave my job, my workmates decided
that they were going to put some things in my
bag that I was unaware of.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
When we had to go through the detector and stuff,
the alarms are going off and they're like, what's in
your bag?
Speaker 8 (07:46):
I'm like, no, nothing, it's just like my clothes and stuff.
Turned out they put handcuffs and sex toys in.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
My bag and had to be pulled.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Out in front of everyone.
Speaker 9 (07:57):
It was the most embarrassing thing on my life.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Hilarious.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
Luckily they found the funny side of it and everyone
was laughing around me.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
But I'm just grateful.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
I don't need to be back at that airport again.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, because they're still talking about you.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Yeah, well probably you know when you're having a drink
with someone bringing it up.
Speaker 9 (08:16):
But yeah, it was.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
I was mortified.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, with the handcuffs fluffy, No, they weren't fluffy. The
six toy that is, okay, we what set the detector off.
If you'd had the handcuffs alone without the other thing,
you might have got in more troub I was in
conjunction with the said the sext toy. Then they figured, oh, yes,
(08:41):
I see there's a theme here.
Speaker 8 (08:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I was.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
I'm just like ventilating, going, oh my god, I've never
done anything wrong.
Speaker 9 (08:48):
What am I getting picked up?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
You know, they're still laughing about it on the mind,
of course, because that was their goal, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, of course, and you're saying they're not mine, they're
not mine. I went, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Thanks, thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Hav a good die.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Glen in Rolling Stone, did you get in trouble at
the airport?
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
We decided to take the kids for a couple of
days to You're a Disney in France, and in the
fun of the days there, somehow a plastic gun ended
up in the hands of my my son and a
few guys later flying out of trolls the gold airport.
When the bag went through the skin of the little
guy beyond the TV, nearly fell off.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
This chair can inspectacles to come and have a look, because.
Speaker 10 (09:42):
I nearly popped out, And yeah, we almost must have
fled trying to explain that we went about to hijack
the plane.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
We're gonna squat you with water.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
The outline on the X ray, you know, it doesn't
say I'm a water pistol or anything.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
It just looks like a guns again.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
Yeah, yeah, no, it was.
Speaker 10 (10:03):
It was really arising me as visions.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Of being locked up right there in front.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, well you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
People certainly lost their as a humor to the airport
things like that.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
No, that's right true. Thanks Glenn, you're going good story.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Aaron Impinjara, Hello, good morning. What happened?
Speaker 9 (10:24):
So I've changed countries to train news women in Australia
three times and the first time I was twenty one,
moved my whole life. My dad used to be in
the police and work for aviation security, so I was
absolutely angle about what I was putting.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
Where had a box full of the glad. Yeah, the
woman blankets the whole well, right, So at that time
they wanted you to be at the airport or the
inspection place with your stuff. So I go out there
thinking I got this all right, and they go through
the box and everything in the box is right. Then
(10:59):
they go all the other boxes and she looks at
me and I go, oh God, what did I do?
Speaker 9 (11:06):
And it was my hot pink dream catcher because it
had feathers on it. It had hot pink feathers on it.
These things would died up the wazoo. It was from
the two dollars shop and yeah, no, I'm visiting bars
(11:27):
and in fines and the whole bit. It was a
hot pink dream catcher with feathers.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Because you never you never live it down when you've
got a connection to you know, being in charge of.
Speaker 9 (11:40):
It all, and because you're importing stuff, it's written up.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I'm in a record for a life.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
Yeah, hot pink feathers.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
That's me.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
DreamCatcher caused a night manu Yeah fabulous.

Good morning. Now.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
We know you love the beaches, so I'm sure you
can't wait to get back to Perth. But I must
warn you we're having some pushing forty degree days at
the moment.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But you're from New Orleans. You'd know about the hate
putn't you.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, man, come on, this is my first rodeo.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
First, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
So how do you I love that caddle slow Beach.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, we know you do. Isn't it magnificent?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Well, it'll be packed when you get here.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I can't wait. It's It's one of my favorite places
in the world. It's just got a special feeling about it.
I think part of it's nostalgic because I've been there,
you know, for so many years. But it's just, as
you know, one of the most beautiful spots on them
on the planet.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah, you're at the rs Arena December third. I love
the rs HE Arena as a venue to see someone
like you. I'm assuming all the favorites. Any new stuff,
what can we expect?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Well, it's going to be different every night, just because
that's the way I've always kind of done it. You
just go out and kind of read the crowd and
have a good time. I'm going to be playing lots
of different songs from over the years. I'm going to
be playing some Christmas music, which is going to be
interesting in forty degrees, but not for us, you know,
we're used to it.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, all right, Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
It's a little bit of everything.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, well, Christmas is just weird probably for you guys.
You know when they pull out the hot food when
it's thirty nine or forty degrees, you know, one hundred
plus in Perth. But it's a totally different world, Danny, man.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I know, it's so cool and I've never experienced anything
like that, so I can't wait to get there.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Well, we do it with seafood, Harry, Giant King Prawl,
it's beautiful cray fish. Yeah, yeah, that's how we do
Christmas down under in the heat. Now tell us speaking
about places in the heat as well as the touring,
you have a new movie. I think it's in the
(14:11):
bag and we're just waiting for a release date. It's
called The Islander. What can you tell us about that?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
That was a lot of fun to film. We did
it in Cyprus, which is a beautiful part of the world. Yeah,
and it's a really really funny romantic comedy with kind
of a dark twist, and it was just a blast
of film that. There's a woman named Stelana Clearis who
wrote it and directed it, and she's absolutely brilliant and
I can't wait for it to come out so you
(14:36):
guys can see it.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I can think of some worse places to film a
film press.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Harry, after all, he is, you're getting regular You get
scripts put on the agent's disk constantly. That does that
go well?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I kind of have a pretty diverse career in that
way because some of the things are projects that I developed.
Some of them, you know, my agent will send me.
Some of them we get sent directly to my management office.
It's it's like all different kinds of ways that that
these things get done, which kind of keeps it exciting.
You know. You just you never know, you know, what's
(15:12):
going to happen in five years. It could be something
that I've written that I'm you know, producing, or it
could be like this one. The Islander just happened to
come across my desk and I read it and I said, Wow,
what's this. This looks really cool, And you just never
you never know what's going to happen, so that that
kind of keeps it fun.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
You set the bar pretty high pretty early by doing
the soundtrack for When Harry Met Sally, which scored you
a Grammy. Did you think back then that the movie
would be the iconic just megatron that it became.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, it was pretty clear, you know, within a few
months of its release that it was hugely popular because
it just it was. It sold so many tickets and
people all over the world side, and that it really
affected me because I went from selling, you know, a
reasonable amount of albums to a huge amount of albums
and that was all because of that success of that film.
And then it was pretty cool to get all kind
of developed.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Absolutely, yeah, it went mainstream big time and the rest
of it. But I'm just curious, do you have at
home at your main residence Michael Jordan, like trophy room
or you're a bit more humble about it. You got
something on that going.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, I don't have as many trophies as Michael Jordan,
but my wife and I we we have a funny
thing like she'll take the awards and put them out,
and I'll put them right back in the close.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
I don't like.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Look, man, I think it's kind of I don't know,
it just kind of weird if people come over the
house and see the awards, so we go back and forth.
I'll put them away, She'll take them out. And this
has been going on.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
For thirty.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
This is why you have a room though, because it's
that happy medium of I mean, if they were all
over the house, yeah, that might look it.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
But if it's just in a room, then it's that's
fair enough.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Absolutely, Like if people come into that room, it's like,
you know, look at my awards. Want people going into that.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
You know, you just let them wandering accidentally when they're
on their way to the toilet or something.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
You don't have to make a big fun.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Ye Will that would be where Jill comes.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I see you know these people you say that people factors.
I'm where do you keep your Academy award? And they're like, oh,
I use it as a doorstop.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
It's like you do not.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I don't believe you.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I wouldn't I wouldn't do that. I definitely feel like
it's so I don't know, it just feels like when
people come over, like there's out sitting out there, it's like,
look at my accent.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I don't know, I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Well, let's talk about another one. There is Tara and
the Hollywood Walk a Fight.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
This is another huge honor which you can't hide away
in a cupboard. What actually happens on the day when
someone gets presented with one of.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
These, Well, I got to tell you like that. That
one's it's hard to explain. It's different because it's so
public and it's out there, you know, on the street
and people pass it, and it's just crazy to think
that I have one of those.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, we want to.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Present you with this. And it was just so cool.
You know. Renee Zellweger was there and presented me with it.
She's a good friend from years ago, and I have
my wife and our daughters there and yeah, that was
just that was just amazing. I was I couldn't believe
they gave me one of those. It was so cool.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
That is very cool. I might just thinking about it.
I ask this of musics every now and then There's
a Tom Hanks movie called That Thing You Do about
a sixties bank called The Wonders, and I didn't do much,
but they got one song on the radio throughout the
course of the movie, and did you have a moment?
They absolutely went nuts. Are in someone's shop and I
heard themselves on the radio. Do you remember that moment
you first heard yourself on the radio? Will as Usy.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It's pretty amazing. I mean, you know, you go in
the studio and you make this music, and you would
hope that it would be successful, and you do what
you have to do to try to ensure that by
doing press and all kinds of interviews and stuff. But
when it actually happens, you're like, oh my gosh, Like
I'm on the radio.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
That's me.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, just an amazing feeling.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
I bet it is. Well, we'll all get to have
that amazing feeling. Number three r C Arena. There's still
a few tickets left. I'd be getting in quick to
ticketek to get those. Harry Connor Jr. Conda Slow awaits you.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
Darryl Hall has taken out of restraining order against his
former music partner John Oates as a confidential.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Legal battle rages between them.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Little is known about the lawsuits as the court documents
are sealed, although it's rumored to stem from either a
dispute over the division of royalties or maybe over Oates
singing their songs in solo shows.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I'm not Darryl and John, Darryl and John, Oh, that sucks.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Jim Carrey has responded to those rumors he set to
make a sequel to The Grinch.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
No truth in it.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
I'm afraid Carrie's people have confirmed there is no truth
to Jym reprising his role as the Grinch in a sequel.
It's not surprising because Kerry is not actually a big
fan of sequels. Granted he has made a couple, but
not particularly happily. Back in twenty seventeen, he said our
find sequels or a function of commerce, a nice way
(20:23):
of saying they do it for the money. When you
put ten years between you and the last time you
did it, you're just imitating your original inspiration and the

views while setting milestones as the new number one show
of the television season, or i should say, the number
one new show of the television season and the number
one most streamed series premiere.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
There you go. Read the flick with ben o'she on
ninety six a FM. Been good to see you.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
Good morning guys. We've got an interesting one for you today. Okay,
So do you remember a few years ago, back to
twenty sixteen, there was a documentary that came out called
Hotel Cool Guardi that made a few headlines and so
it was basically there wasn't much to it. They basically
took a camera crew out to Coolgardi in the wa Goldfields,
to the pub in town there and basically filmed what
(21:30):
happened over the course of a couple of weeks when
two finished backpackers arrived in town. So Fly on the
Wall doco about what these backpackers experienced serving beers at
the pub and the sort of conversations they had with
the blokes who came into the pub, which, as you
can imagine, a lot of mining blokes, a lot of
old timers from the Goldfields who probably hadn't met too
(21:53):
many finished backpackers in their lives, and so we're very
excited to have at what they called and they put
it up on a sandwich board out the front of
the pub it said fresh meat at the pub time.
And so a lot of people, a lot of people
who watched it, certainly in the gold Fields and in
original Wa and maybe Australians would have looked at it
and gone, well, you know, that's just a country pub.
(22:15):
That's just what happens in a country pub that's called ghardi.
But when the documentary was screened in big cities and
especially big cities around the world, it created a furor.
People were like, oh, this is you know, rampant misogyny, sexism,
sexual harassment, this is not okay, which of course it's
not okay the fifties and so it was at a
(22:36):
film festival at the time of its release, and sitting
on the jury panel of that film festival was Ossie
director Kitty Green. So, do you remember a couple of
years ago there was a film called The Assistant starring
Julia Garner from Ozark, the blonde American actress with a
really curly blonde hair. You recognize it instantly.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Favorite.
Speaker 11 (23:01):
In this film The Assistant, she played the assistant of
a film production company in the US. It was basically
like a Weinstein like me too kind of situation, but
you never saw the Weinstein figure. He was just this
voice in another office, and it was her kind of
story as psychological.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
It's really good.
Speaker 11 (23:20):
It's a really good, kind of understated thriller about that
era of sexual harassment in the workplace. Anyway, And so
Kitty Green, the director of that movie, watched Hotel col
Guardi and thought, you know what, this would be a
great fictional movie. So she's basically done a remake of
the docco called The Royal Hotel, set in a pub
(23:42):
in the outback, very similar to the cool Guardi Hotel,
but instead of finished backpackers, it's US backpackers. She's cast
her good mate Julia Ganer as one of the backpackers.
Hannah and Jessica Henwick, another American actress who was in
the Matrix resurrections just recently as liv and these two
backpackers arrive in town as temp jobs working at a
(24:03):
pub to earn a bit of holiday money, and then
they go through a very similar experience to what we
saw in the doco. You know, as they're pouring the beers,
the blokes on the other side of the bar a
sort of wolf whistling at them and trying to chat
them up, mostly pretty harmless in a kind of a
low key sexual harassment kind of way. But then on
(24:24):
top of all of that is maybe the idea that
there's a bit more menace involved. And I don't know
about you guys, but anytime I see a movie that's
set in the Australian outback involving foreign backpackers, I immediately
that Wolf Creek, Wolf.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Creek actually happen usually end well.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
It doesn't usually end well.
Speaker 11 (24:41):
And Wake in Fright was another film sort of setting
the outback of a very very amazing film too, And
so you know that that's in the back of your
mind as you're watching this film, like where is it
going to go? Is it going to go into a
territory that's going to be really grim?
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Please tell us John Jarrett's not in it, well.
Speaker 11 (24:54):
John Jared's on it, but there is another Ossie icon
in it. Hugo Weaving, who plays the publican of this hotel,
can be creepy in this. He's kind of like battling
his own demons with the drink and he's got it.
That's he's reached this point of his career where he's
playing only playing kind of like drunk reprobates. He does
it so well though. He's fantastic in this and and
(25:18):
this menacing mood that comes over the film is supplied
by really one of the pub patrons who's played by
Daniel Henshall. And so if you've seen the movie Snowtown,
so Snowtown is an amazing film. It is one of
the most grim Australian movies. I struggle to recommend it
to people even though it's so amazing. It is a dark,
(25:40):
dark film, and so Daniel Henshall's character in Snowtown was
hard to watch, and so he brings that.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Some of the most unlikable people.
Speaker 11 (25:49):
And I don't know how film or old Dan Henchell.
I don't know how he ever gets a job anywhere else,
I know, except for playing these type of rock and
so he's playing this character who is sort of always
hanging around, sort of leering at the girls, and when
they go upstairs to the pub to sleep at night,
he's sort of just hanging around in the corridors, the loiter.
He's loitering, and so so you get this sense of
(26:12):
growing dread about what's going to happen in the movie
as well as these girls trying to you know, sort
of enjoy their outback experience. And the live character is
a bit more naive and outgoing, and Julia Garner's character,
Hannah is you know, she's a bit more suspicious of
all of these Aussie blokes. And so it's that kind
of like light and shade that you get in the film.
(26:33):
And in the end it kind of, you know, works
its way to a conclusion that is pretty sort of satisfying,
I guess in the end. But it's you know, it's
a fascinating insight into what goes on in Australian country
pubs and probably a few Australian city pubs as well,
and it'll make audiences ask, you know, like what are
we willing to accept as part of Ozzie society? Is
(26:55):
this behavior acceptable? Is it just you know, like you know,
just harmless or is there something more going on? It
would be interesting to see how audiences react.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
All right, very interesting.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
How many backpack.
Speaker 11 (27:08):
You give, Well, we'll see how many survive. But I'm
going to give this one three and a half. Okay,
it's a good one. It sounds good.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Thank you, Thank you, guys, Crazy and Lisa
Powered by the radio WAB from ninety six air FM
to whereever you're listening today.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
This is Clearzy and Lisa's podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Coming up on the podcast Harry Connick.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
Junior, which took your calls on what got you into
trouble at the airport and ben O'Shea talked about Julia
Garner ben around which she doesn't say in the Royal
Hotel like she doesn't knows a poor June Armstrong, seventy
seven year old Kiwi grandmother, is still reeling after coppying
a three thousand, three hundred dollars fine for a chicken sandwich.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Apparently they don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
What that had to do with it in the story,
but they do mention it's a gluten free chicken sandwich.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's still a chicken.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
She had her backpack checked when she arrived at Brisbane
Airport from New Zealand and had forgotten to declare the
chicken sanger.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It was sealed, you know. It was one of those
ones that you're buying that it.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Looks like a little pyramid and she put it seven
dollars airport.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
At the other end, christ Church Airport, she bought a
chicken and lettuce sandwich as you said, gluten free apparently,
and a muffin. She ate the muffin and then she
was going to eat the sanger, but she fell asleep.
So when she arrived and of course you're not slak,
you're all bleary eyed, because this was four o'clock in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
She.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Filled out her declaration form and declared her medication and
so on, but she completely forgot about the sandwich in
the backpack. So then she's going through customs or whatever
it is, and her backpack was checked and they found
the sandwich and she said, oh god, I forgot about that.
Can you just throw it away for me, please, which
the officer did and then said, but there is a
(01:41):
fine yep, and then said, edit's three thousand, three hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
She's seventy seven.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
She's yeah, seventy seven. And it was a sealed chicken sandwich.
Was she just accidentally, you know, she forgot it was in.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
The back hasn't done any harm?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Not really not, you know, I mean they threw it
away border sur.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
The staff member told June she has she could appeal
it within the twenty eight day appeal period, which she did,
but unfortunately she didn't hear anything back, so she had
to pay the fine.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
See that's rough, isn't it rough? Someone used, Yeah, you're
like you watch border security. Does someone out of the back
room eat it and go?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I don't know, but sick and set seal a sealed
sealed chicken sandwich from the airport at the other end,
haven't seen people arrive at border security with bags of
things that there's stuff moving?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Oh, I don't know. Those shows make me feel sick.
What are those things? I don't know because they bring them,
you know, bring some of those things under their delicacies
or things that they hate their family members. Yeah, if
you hate your family, you bring that rubbish. Well, some
things are you know, part of custom and the rest
of it. But caught up in customs because.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Your customs clearly says, yeah, you got to declare it food.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
So by the letter of the law, they haven't done
the wrong thing. But she's suffering because she fell asleep.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
It was right, I mean, I reckon, she got that
officer on at a bad night. I think you're right,
because I think a lot of them would have said,
all right, listen, don't forget your sandwich again.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
But on this occasion, I will throw it out.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Things that would have been he might have also been
a ubie.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
He might nod.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well, we're asking what did you get in trouble for
at the airport?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
In trouble at the airport, No, my gong taken off
me my gong.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
You going in supper. Oh fabulous gong gong really audition
for red faces. It's in a wooden sort of on
a wooden stand. Yeah, and he's gone on.
Speaker 2 (03:55):

Okay, we're gonna we'll take it. It gets treated and
then you can come back and pick it up. And
I'm going to cost like thirty bucks or something. So
I was like, okay, I'll do that. And because I
declared it, declared my gon, you put on the gong list.
But I thought he was going to take it away forever,
so I left it. About two weeks later, I get

You go out the bass.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
So you go and get you gone, and it's in
the building, you know, one of the buildings next to
the airport, and it's one of those places that you
don't usually go to, and it's another world. You go
through these doors and there's all sorts of stuff being
displayed that have been that has been you know, confiscated
and take I'm sure I saw a shrunken head.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I'm sure you did. But don't talk about the stuff
out there like that. That's horrible. So tell me, can
you tell me were there any other gongs in the room?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You know what's really is. I was on this trip

is Jeff Jane and he also bought a gong. Right now,
he's gone through ahead of me.

And Bertram? Have you?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Well sort of.
Speaker 8 (07:28):
I was used to work up in tom Price, and
when I went to leave my job, my workmates decided
that they were going to put some things in my
bag that I was unaware of.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
When we had to go through the detector and stuff,
the alarms are going off and they're like, what's in
your bag?
Speaker 8 (07:46):
I'm like, no, nothing, it's just like my clothes and stuff.
Turned out they put handcuffs and sex toys in.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
My bag and had to be pulled.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Out in front of everyone.
Speaker 9 (07:57):
It was the most embarrassing thing on my life.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Hilarious.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
Luckily they found the funny side of it and everyone
was laughing around me.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
But I'm just grateful.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
I don't need to be back at that airport again.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, because they're still talking about you.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Yeah, well probably you know when you're having a drink
with someone bringing it up.
Speaker 9 (08:16):
But yeah, it was.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
I was mortified.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, with the handcuffs fluffy, No, they weren't fluffy. The
six toy that is, okay, we what set the detector off.
If you'd had the handcuffs alone without the other thing,
you might have got in more troub I was in
conjunction with the said the sext toy. Then they figured, oh, yes,
(08:41):
I see there's a theme here.
Speaker 8 (08:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I was.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
I'm just like ventilating, going, oh my god, I've never
done anything wrong.
Speaker 9 (08:48):
What am I getting picked up?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
You know, they're still laughing about it on the mind,
of course, because that was their goal, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, of course, and you're saying they're not mine, they're
not mine. I went, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Thanks, thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Hav a good die.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Glen in Rolling Stone, did you get in trouble at
the airport?
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
We decided to take the kids for a couple of
days to You're a Disney in France, and in the
fun of the days there, somehow a plastic gun ended
up in the hands of my my son and a
few guys later flying out of trolls the gold airport.
When the bag went through the skin of the little
guy beyond the TV, nearly fell off.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
This chair can inspectacles to come and have a look, because.
Speaker 10 (09:42):
I nearly popped out, And yeah, we almost must have
fled trying to explain that we went about to hijack
the plane.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
We're gonna squat you with water.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
The outline on the X ray, you know, it doesn't
say I'm a water pistol or anything.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
It just looks like a guns again.
Speaker 9 (10:01):
Yeah, yeah, no, it was.
Speaker 10 (10:03):
It was really arising me as visions.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Of being locked up right there in front.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, well you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
People certainly lost their as a humor to the airport
things like that.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
No, that's right true. Thanks Glenn, you're going good story.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Aaron Impinjara, Hello, good morning. What happened?
Speaker 9 (10:24):
So I've changed countries to train news women in Australia
three times and the first time I was twenty one,
moved my whole life. My dad used to be in
the police and work for aviation security, so I was
absolutely angle about what I was putting.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
Where had a box full of the glad. Yeah, the
woman blankets the whole well, right, So at that time
they wanted you to be at the airport or the
inspection place with your stuff. So I go out there
thinking I got this all right, and they go through
the box and everything in the box is right. Then
(10:59):
they go all the other boxes and she looks at
me and I go, oh God, what did I do?
Speaker 9 (11:06):
And it was my hot pink dream catcher because it
had feathers on it. It had hot pink feathers on it.
These things would died up the wazoo. It was from
the two dollars shop and yeah, no, I'm visiting bars
(11:27):
and in fines and the whole bit. It was a
hot pink dream catcher with feathers.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Because you never you never live it down when you've
got a connection to you know, being in charge of.
Speaker 9 (11:40):
It all, and because you're importing stuff, it's written up.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I'm in a record for a life.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
Yeah, hot pink feathers.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
That's me.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
DreamCatcher caused a night manu Yeah fabulous.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Good morning. Now.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
We know you love the beaches, so I'm sure you
can't wait to get back to Perth. But I must
warn you we're having some pushing forty degree days at
the moment.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But you're from New Orleans. You'd know about the hate
putn't you.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, man, come on, this is my first rodeo.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
First, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
So how do you I love that caddle slow Beach.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, we know you do. Isn't it magnificent?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Well, it'll be packed when you get here.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I can't wait. It's It's one of my favorite places
in the world. It's just got a special feeling about it.
I think part of it's nostalgic because I've been there,
you know, for so many years. But it's just, as
you know, one of the most beautiful spots on them
on the planet.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah, you're at the rs Arena December third. I love
the rs HE Arena as a venue to see someone
like you. I'm assuming all the favorites. Any new stuff,
what can we expect?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Well, it's going to be different every night, just because
that's the way I've always kind of done it. You
just go out and kind of read the crowd and
have a good time. I'm going to be playing lots
of different songs from over the years. I'm going to
be playing some Christmas music, which is going to be
interesting in forty degrees, but not for us, you know,
we're used to it.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, all right, Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
It's a little bit of everything.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, well, Christmas is just weird probably for you guys.
You know when they pull out the hot food when
it's thirty nine or forty degrees, you know, one hundred
plus in Perth. But it's a totally different world, Danny, man.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I know, it's so cool and I've never experienced anything
like that, so I can't wait to get there.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Well, we do it with seafood, Harry, Giant King Prawl,
it's beautiful cray fish. Yeah, yeah, that's how we do
Christmas down under in the heat. Now tell us speaking
about places in the heat as well as the touring,
you have a new movie. I think it's in the
(14:11):
bag and we're just waiting for a release date. It's
called The Islander. What can you tell us about that?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
That was a lot of fun to film. We did
it in Cyprus, which is a beautiful part of the world. Yeah,
and it's a really really funny romantic comedy with kind
of a dark twist, and it was just a blast
of film that. There's a woman named Stelana Clearis who
wrote it and directed it, and she's absolutely brilliant and
I can't wait for it to come out so you
(14:36):
guys can see it.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I can think of some worse places to film a
film press.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Harry, after all, he is, you're getting regular You get
scripts put on the agent's disk constantly. That does that
go well?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I kind of have a pretty diverse career in that
way because some of the things are projects that I developed.
Some of them, you know, my agent will send me.
Some of them we get sent directly to my management office.
It's it's like all different kinds of ways that that
these things get done, which kind of keeps it exciting.
You know. You just you never know, you know, what's
(15:12):
going to happen in five years. It could be something
that I've written that I'm you know, producing, or it
could be like this one. The Islander just happened to
come across my desk and I read it and I said, Wow,
what's this. This looks really cool, And you just never
you never know what's going to happen, so that that
kind of keeps it fun.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
You set the bar pretty high pretty early by doing
the soundtrack for When Harry Met Sally, which scored you
a Grammy. Did you think back then that the movie
would be the iconic just megatron that it became.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, it was pretty clear, you know, within a few
months of its release that it was hugely popular because
it just it was. It sold so many tickets and
people all over the world side, and that it really
affected me because I went from selling, you know, a
reasonable amount of albums to a huge amount of albums
and that was all because of that success of that film.
And then it was pretty cool to get all kind
of developed.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Absolutely, yeah, it went mainstream big time and the rest
of it. But I'm just curious, do you have at
home at your main residence Michael Jordan, like trophy room
or you're a bit more humble about it. You got
something on that going.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, I don't have as many trophies as Michael Jordan,
but my wife and I we we have a funny
thing like she'll take the awards and put them out,
and I'll put them right back in the close.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
I don't like.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Look, man, I think it's kind of I don't know,
it just kind of weird if people come over the
house and see the awards, so we go back and forth.
I'll put them away, She'll take them out. And this
has been going on.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
For thirty.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
This is why you have a room though, because it's
that happy medium of I mean, if they were all
over the house, yeah, that might look it.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
But if it's just in a room, then it's that's
fair enough.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Absolutely, Like if people come into that room, it's like,
you know, look at my awards. Want people going into that.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
You know, you just let them wandering accidentally when they're
on their way to the toilet or something.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
You don't have to make a big fun.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Ye Will that would be where Jill comes.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I see you know these people you say that people factors.
I'm where do you keep your Academy award? And they're like, oh,
I use it as a doorstop.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
It's like you do not.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I don't believe you.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I wouldn't I wouldn't do that. I definitely feel like
it's so I don't know, it just feels like when
people come over, like there's out sitting out there, it's like,
look at my accent.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I don't know, I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Well, let's talk about another one. There is Tara and
the Hollywood Walk a Fight.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
This is another huge honor which you can't hide away
in a cupboard. What actually happens on the day when
someone gets presented with one of.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
These, Well, I got to tell you like that. That
one's it's hard to explain. It's different because it's so
public and it's out there, you know, on the street
and people pass it, and it's just crazy to think
that I have one of those.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, we want to.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Present you with this. And it was just so cool.
You know. Renee Zellweger was there and presented me with it.
She's a good friend from years ago, and I have
my wife and our daughters there and yeah, that was
just that was just amazing. I was I couldn't believe
they gave me one of those. It was so cool.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
That is very cool. I might just thinking about it.
I ask this of musics every now and then There's
a Tom Hanks movie called That Thing You Do about
a sixties bank called The Wonders, and I didn't do much,
but they got one song on the radio throughout the
course of the movie, and did you have a moment?
They absolutely went nuts. Are in someone's shop and I
heard themselves on the radio. Do you remember that moment
you first heard yourself on the radio? Will as Usy.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It's pretty amazing. I mean, you know, you go in
the studio and you make this music, and you would
hope that it would be successful, and you do what
you have to do to try to ensure that by
doing press and all kinds of interviews and stuff. But
when it actually happens, you're like, oh my gosh, Like
I'm on the radio.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
That's me.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, just an amazing feeling.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
I bet it is. Well, we'll all get to have
that amazing feeling. Number three r C Arena. There's still
a few tickets left. I'd be getting in quick to
ticketek to get those. Harry Connor Jr. Conda Slow awaits you.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I will be there soon.
Speaker 3 (19:11):

Speaker 8 (19:19):
More Clezy more Lisa more podcasts soon, there's sure.
Speaker 3 (19:28):

Speaker 2 (19:29):

Speaker 4 (19:33):
Darryl Hall has taken out of restraining order against his
former music partner John Oates as a confidential.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Legal battle rages between them.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Little is known about the lawsuits as the court documents
are sealed, although it's rumored to stem from either a
dispute over the division of royalties or maybe over Oates
singing their songs in solo shows.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I'm not Darryl and John, Darryl and John, Oh, that sucks.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Jim Carrey has responded to those rumors he set to
make a sequel to The Grinch.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
No truth in it.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
I'm afraid Carrie's people have confirmed there is no truth
to Jym reprising his role as the Grinch in a sequel.
It's not surprising because Kerry is not actually a big
fan of sequels. Granted he has made a couple, but
not particularly happily. Back in twenty seventeen, he said our
find sequels or a function of commerce, a nice way
(20:23):
of saying they do it for the money. When you
put ten years between you and the last time you
did it, you're just imitating your original inspiration and the
first ever international series from the global NCIS franchise outside
of the US.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
NCIS Sydney is officially.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
The most watched local series since Paramount Plus launched in Australia.
In the US, the premiere episode is approaching ten million
views while setting milestones as the new number one show
of the television season, or i should say, the number
one new show of the television season and the number
one most streamed series premiere.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
There you go. Read the flick with ben o'she on
ninety six a FM. Been good to see you.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
Good morning guys. We've got an interesting one for you today. Okay,
So do you remember a few years ago, back to
twenty sixteen, there was a documentary that came out called
Hotel Cool Guardi that made a few headlines and so
it was basically there wasn't much to it. They basically
took a camera crew out to Coolgardi in the wa Goldfields,
to the pub in town there and basically filmed what
(21:30):
happened over the course of a couple of weeks when
two finished backpackers arrived in town. So Fly on the
Wall doco about what these backpackers experienced serving beers at
the pub and the sort of conversations they had with
the blokes who came into the pub, which, as you
can imagine, a lot of mining blokes, a lot of
old timers from the Goldfields who probably hadn't met too
(21:53):
many finished backpackers in their lives, and so we're very
excited to have at what they called and they put
it up on a sandwich board out the front of
the pub it said fresh meat at the pub time.
And so a lot of people, a lot of people
who watched it, certainly in the gold Fields and in
original Wa and maybe Australians would have looked at it
and gone, well, you know, that's just a country pub.
(22:15):
That's just what happens in a country pub that's called ghardi.
But when the documentary was screened in big cities and
especially big cities around the world, it created a furor.
People were like, oh, this is you know, rampant misogyny, sexism,
sexual harassment, this is not okay, which of course it's
not okay the fifties and so it was at a
(22:36):
film festival at the time of its release, and sitting
on the jury panel of that film festival was Ossie
director Kitty Green. So, do you remember a couple of
years ago there was a film called The Assistant starring
Julia Garner from Ozark, the blonde American actress with a
really curly blonde hair. You recognize it instantly.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Favorite.
Speaker 11 (23:01):
In this film The Assistant, she played the assistant of
a film production company in the US. It was basically
like a Weinstein like me too kind of situation, but
you never saw the Weinstein figure. He was just this
voice in another office, and it was her kind of
story as psychological.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
It's really good.
Speaker 11 (23:20):
It's a really good, kind of understated thriller about that
era of sexual harassment in the workplace. Anyway, And so
Kitty Green, the director of that movie, watched Hotel col
Guardi and thought, you know what, this would be a
great fictional movie. So she's basically done a remake of
the docco called The Royal Hotel, set in a pub
(23:42):
in the outback, very similar to the cool Guardi Hotel,
but instead of finished backpackers, it's US backpackers. She's cast
her good mate Julia Ganer as one of the backpackers.
Hannah and Jessica Henwick, another American actress who was in
the Matrix resurrections just recently as liv and these two
backpackers arrive in town as temp jobs working at a
(24:03):
pub to earn a bit of holiday money, and then
they go through a very similar experience to what we
saw in the doco. You know, as they're pouring the beers,
the blokes on the other side of the bar a
sort of wolf whistling at them and trying to chat
them up, mostly pretty harmless in a kind of a
low key sexual harassment kind of way. But then on
(24:24):
top of all of that is maybe the idea that
there's a bit more menace involved. And I don't know
about you guys, but anytime I see a movie that's
set in the Australian outback involving foreign backpackers, I immediately
that Wolf Creek, Wolf.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Creek actually happen usually end well.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
It doesn't usually end well.
Speaker 11 (24:41):
And Wake in Fright was another film sort of setting
the outback of a very very amazing film too, And
so you know that that's in the back of your
mind as you're watching this film, like where is it
going to go? Is it going to go into a
territory that's going to be really grim?
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Please tell us John Jarrett's not in it, well.
Speaker 11 (24:54):
John Jared's on it, but there is another Ossie icon
in it. Hugo Weaving, who plays the publican of this hotel,
can be creepy in this. He's kind of like battling
his own demons with the drink and he's got it.
That's he's reached this point of his career where he's
playing only playing kind of like drunk reprobates. He does
it so well though. He's fantastic in this and and
(25:18):
this menacing mood that comes over the film is supplied
by really one of the pub patrons who's played by
Daniel Henshall. And so if you've seen the movie Snowtown,
so Snowtown is an amazing film. It is one of
the most grim Australian movies. I struggle to recommend it
to people even though it's so amazing. It is a dark,
(25:40):
dark film, and so Daniel Henshall's character in Snowtown was
hard to watch, and so he brings that.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Some of the most unlikable people.
Speaker 11 (25:49):
And I don't know how film or old Dan Henchell.
I don't know how he ever gets a job anywhere else,
I know, except for playing these type of rock and
so he's playing this character who is sort of always
hanging around, sort of leering at the girls, and when
they go upstairs to the pub to sleep at night,
he's sort of just hanging around in the corridors, the loiter.
He's loitering, and so so you get this sense of
(26:12):
growing dread about what's going to happen in the movie
as well as these girls trying to you know, sort
of enjoy their outback experience. And the live character is
a bit more naive and outgoing, and Julia Garner's character,
Hannah is you know, she's a bit more suspicious of
all of these Aussie blokes. And so it's that kind
of like light and shade that you get in the film.
(26:33):
And in the end it kind of, you know, works
its way to a conclusion that is pretty sort of satisfying,
I guess in the end. But it's you know, it's
a fascinating insight into what goes on in Australian country
pubs and probably a few Australian city pubs as well,
and it'll make audiences ask, you know, like what are
we willing to accept as part of Ozzie society? Is
(26:55):
this behavior acceptable? Is it just you know, like you know,
just harmless or is there something more going on? It
would be interesting to see how audiences react.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
All right, very interesting.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
How many backpack.
Speaker 11 (27:08):
You give, Well, we'll see how many survive. But I'm
going to give this one three and a half. Okay,
it's a good one. It sounds good.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Thank you, Thank you, guys, Crazy and Lisa
