Speaker 1 (00:01):
Dowered by the radio WAB from ninety six air m
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, we talked about the Robbie
Williams traffic pre and post gig, and we asked you
the question when did it spoiler plans?

Speaker 4 (00:16):
In the Shore Report, sad news, we lost Seane McGown,
lead singer of the Pogues, and Cher has broken yet
another record.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
And a whole lot of sport with Annahey. Well, well, well,
Robbie Williams first to two shows last night at Nicola
Estate and apparently Robbie was inspational. Yes, of course, A
little bit more difficult was the people trying to get
into Nicola State and get out afterwards, and they ruined
in the end of the night, in particular for people
who are trying to get home and still in traffic

(00:43):
for many many hours, to.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Ruined the start of the night for people who couldn't
get in there to see Robbie start the show.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
And he came on I think at ten to nine
last night and some people running wait a little bit,
people running together.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
I'm not sure that it's an ideal event. Ideal place
to have something like this. There's one way in, there's
one way out, there's limited amounts of parking. It's quite
a walk from where the event takes place.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Could you imagine leaving home. I think someone said they
left from Melville or something in nearly four hours to
get to the gig, which is very disappointing.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
And it's a busy, ridiculous busy.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Part of Perth anyway around there with all a lot
of trucks as well.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Melon Events who put on the show last night have
put on their social media regarding the traffic issues experience
at last night's concert.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
We share your disappointment. We sincerely apologize.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
We're currently working with the venue and the venues traffic
management team to mitigate this for tonight's show. But for
those attending tonight's show, we do recommend coming as early
as you can.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I think the doors open at four.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
They do. Yes, yeah, gates, I should say, and people
and Melono. It's as disappointed as anyone. You don't expect
things to go like that, but that's how it went
on a Thursday night, So there'd be some sleepy people
around down today, would imagine. But yeah, the old traffic
situation is nothing more frustrating than being in traffic, especially
when you're going to something good, mit alone being frustrated
guy to work or something like that.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
How did traffic traffic snarl ruin your plans?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Might have just been getting home from skyworks all those
years ago or something like that.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Who knows, Steven mirror Booker, Are you indeed were trying
to get home from Robbie last night?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Were you?

Speaker 5 (02:15):
I was shocking this morning.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
We got hurried.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
What time the gig finish?

Speaker 7 (02:20):
About quarter to eleven?

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yes, that's untidy, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (02:24):
Yeah, And it was just it was shocking three hours
sitting in the car.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:28):
We sorry for all the older people as well.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, so had you park there?

Speaker 7 (02:32):
We did park there, We left.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
We got in there about.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Five o'clock, yep, and that was all right.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
But because we were early, it was the last to
get out.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Oh yes, oh yeah, yeah, true.

Speaker 7 (02:43):
And there was only only one there was only one
way out.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
That's the thing is, it's almost frustrating after a gig
or a sporting event and you're in the car park
and you're not traveling anywhere for the first hour or so,
you know, very frustrated to enjoy the show.

Speaker 7 (02:56):
The show was absolutely amazing. What an entertaining wife loves him?

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, you forget about that because you think about how you.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Got out and some just these places that you know,
hard to get into and hard to get out of
and limited parking.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I just don't know, You've had such a fun event,
and then that's a real damper on this.

Speaker 7 (03:19):
Yeah, it was getting out was bad.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
So that show.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Thanks Steve Nino and Bennett Springs.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Hello, hey you guys there you going good?

Speaker 4 (03:29):
What when did traffic snarl ruin your plans?

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:33):
My god.

Speaker 8 (03:34):
I was on a thirty day bus tour with my
parents when I was fifteen.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 8 (03:42):
The window was great, see anyway from here. Yeah. So
so we were going to Austria.

Speaker 7 (03:52):
Yeah, just dropping.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Names, swinging around.

Speaker 8 (03:58):
We were knocking up a twelve hour traffic jam.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (04:03):
And I turned sixteen when I was on the bus, Yeah, honestly.
And then and then we ended up because it was
so late on the bus, we ended up just going
straight to dinner.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Right.

Speaker 9 (04:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (04:17):
We went to this big hall with these big long
tables like october Fest, nothing like I've ever seen my life.
Was fantastic, anyway, and the waitresses came around with the
big Styn you know, carrying two at that time, and
plunk plunk, plunk punk in front of everyone. Yes, and
I in front of me as well. And I looked

(04:37):
at my mom and dad and they just gave me
the light of approval when I drank the stins and
I had the best sixteenth birthday party.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
But it was the worst traffic jab ever.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, twelve hour traffic jams.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
This person in Los Angeles stories you hear about.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
You would have been willing to do.

Speaker 8 (04:54):
They can have guns.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, you would have been willing to do. Every sound
of music come too. There was just to get.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
There pretty much.

Speaker 8 (05:03):
He was a.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Big time sixteen during traffic nineteen Debbie and Aaranda, what happened?

Speaker 5 (05:16):
It was on my wedding day dead No, I turned
up twenty minutes later at the altar.

Speaker 10 (05:23):
There was traffic jams, and there was roadworks, and my
poor husband was thankings were still married out of thirty years. Yeah,
believe that the altars at the altar pacing up and
down wondering where on earth?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
He thought mine.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
And of course, and I'm in the car and it's
a wom day and I'm you know, perspiring, the makeup
is starting to run.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
It was still it was horrible.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
But I think when he was patient with me and
yeah we've been there was a nice ninety two so
we're still marriage.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
That's nice.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Well he was he was perspiring bullets as well, Let's be.

Speaker 5 (05:59):
Honest, because up and down.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
I wonder if his mind was thinking, how can I
cancel this and save some money on the bar.

Speaker 5 (06:06):
That's probably true because the first thing you said to
me is when you signed the agreement, he said, oh
my goodness, she's taken half my real estate.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well then you go, oh, okay.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
There's a lot of side when you know that you're
waiting for the bride, and it gets so that there's
a lot.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Of looking around and no one's talking. Everyone's just wondering,
just a little bit fidgety.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Does she changed their mind?

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Thanks dev Debbi, all right, thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
I have a great day.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Guy Darren in Rockingham. When did a snell ruin your plants?

Speaker 7 (06:39):
I would say daily. I'm in the transport industry or
drive a truck in the metro area, so I'm quite
used to traffic snails and block ups and everything else.
No matter how good way is, it doesn't get you
around all of them.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, a few years ago.

Speaker 7 (06:52):
I don't know if you guys are aware of a
place called Q Marina. It's about one hundred and fifty
k south of Newman.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
No, that's a new one to make, so it's a pretty.

Speaker 7 (07:02):
Much mandatory stop on the way up to Newman for
most transport. Okay, thirty k south of that. Unfortunately, I
am probably two hundred and fifty other truck drivers, both
north and southbound, got stuck for twenty seven hours.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
They were twenty seven was it water? What was going on? Darren?

Speaker 7 (07:21):
Really? Unfortunately there was a fatality and although we could
physically see a Telstra tower on the top of a.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Mound we'll call it a hill. Yeah, no, no.

Speaker 7 (07:34):
OBI reception up until one of the guys actually had
one of these GPS extenders. So yeah, it was awfully popular.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, yeah, twenty seven hours must have felt like a
week down.

Speaker 7 (07:48):
Well yeah, no toilet facilities, obviously, no shop out there.

Speaker 10 (07:51):
What did Catholic?

Speaker 7 (07:52):
What did happenn't? To their credit, the crewit to Marina,
which was thirty k's up the track, hurriedly organized an
artificial duty then and came down with all sorts of
food and coffees and for free.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
No really, that's true, the hero.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Thanking Craigie. When did a traffic snow ruined your plans?

Speaker 6 (08:18):
Hey, guys? So basically, in July, I returned to South Africa.
I had no plan on really ever going back, but
unfortunately at this and the family made it so I
had to go back. And returning to South Africa, I
hadn't been there for ages and all the street names
had changed. I went to visit a friend in Johannesburg

(08:40):
and I've got put in the peak hour traffic on
the way home, and my battery was low. So I
still said, oh no, she'll be all right because I'm
an uzie now, so you know she'll be all.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Right, mate.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
I got caught in that traffic and I went through
the worst townships and everything.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
It was scary.

Speaker 6 (09:01):
Next thing, my battery dies. I don't know any of
the street names, and I'm looking at these street names
and I'm just like Jesus, take the wheels.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
And I drove.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
And my family were besides themselve panicking because I arrived
like three hours after I.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Was meant to be there.

Speaker 8 (09:21):
But no it's all good.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
I got there and it was fine. But yeah, and so.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
As the attitude of no worries, sugar up, I wasn't.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Thanks Nigola, glad you got there, you got back to
get away was.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
A way in the traffic for so long. In those circumstances,
your battery runs flat and you get more panicky and.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
More crazy.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
More Lisa, more podcasts. Soon, it's time to talk.

Speaker 11 (09:52):
Sport and Diana put on my tree last night.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Did you listening?

Speaker 2 (10:00):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
You don't have pets too, she does. I do have pets, Okay, dogs.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
As damaging to your tree as cats.

Speaker 9 (10:09):
Cats like No, they weren't really interested in no. I
thought they might get in the festive spirit. Try to
get a photo with the dog in front of the tree.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
They got their reindeer antlers on their all. That's they're
waiting for that. Yeah, I know they're not doing it
without a costume.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
It's harder to get a photo of that than like
a child, isn't I tried.

Speaker 11 (10:26):
I actually put schmackos in the tree.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
It didn't work. Be careful what you wish for.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
There might be some smackers from last year.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
If you put one in there.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
They will be looking at looking for it every day
and you will come home to a collapse.

Speaker 7 (10:39):
I know.

Speaker 11 (10:40):
Might avoid that again.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Okay, Well, the West Coast has got a couple of
smackos will be leading the club.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (10:45):
Oscar Allen and Liam Dugan have been announced as co
captains for twenty twenty four. So they're replacing retired skipper
Luke Shouey former skipper Luke Shouey. So it's a twenty
two year first the West Coast of appointed joint captains.
It's just the second time the years thirty seven year history.
So the last pair was Ben Cousins and Dean Kemp
in two thousand and one.

Speaker 11 (11:07):
So Adam Simpson.

Speaker 9 (11:08):
Said they just basically couldn't split the two of them,
so they've given it to both.

Speaker 11 (11:13):
I think it's a really good idea. They're really great
people and I think it will be.

Speaker 9 (11:18):
They're such a young team that you know to have
young captains as well, because Oscar's only twenty four, Dugan's
twenty six.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
I don't like it.

Speaker 11 (11:26):
You don't like it now.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
I think a team should have a captain and a
vice captain and be done with it, and the person
who is the captain is the person who is best
at geing up the team, so.

Speaker 11 (11:35):
You think they should have separated the pair by Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
I had to look at these teams that have leadership
like they have captains. It's not a captain a leadership.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
To be done.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
So he's a leadership groups. Yeah, Tommy Barr still vice captain.

Speaker 9 (11:51):
Jeremy mcgovernor stepped away. Stepped down, so not away yet.
Can you imagine that he's just stepped down. Okay, Yeah,
so we'll see how that goes.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Interesting.

Speaker 9 (12:05):
I didn't think that announced it so early, but they
probably just don't want any rumors or anything to start,
so they're just squashing it now.

Speaker 11 (12:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
The draftees hit the track for the first time this week.

Speaker 9 (12:15):
Yeah, so they started training. They are still intact luckily. Yes,
there was a bit of a scare yesterday that Harley
Reid might have done a hamstring but they've said it's
hamstring awareness, so it's back the terms already. It's only December,
so he's all good. But they were doing lighter drills.

(12:39):
They do a lot of running. They don't join the
big boys yet, they just get their bodies sort of
used to it.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
So he's living with a new captain with one of
the Oscar Harvey Johnston.

Speaker 9 (12:49):
The other draft is living with Dugo and Clay Hall.
The other draft is living with Dom Sheet. Okay, so
they're all sort of with leaders of the club. Just
I wanted to mention Jake Waterman. He won the time
trial on Monday, so he's recovered from that stomach.

Speaker 11 (13:05):
Condition that he had at the end of last year.

Speaker 9 (13:07):
A lot of people are saying, wow, that really reflects
on the club poorly, like you know, someone that was
unwell won it, And I just think it's the complete opposite.
I think, he, yeah, I can't take a trick and
they literally they can't do anything right. But to me,
it's how hard he's worked. He's looking really good on
the track. Just give the guy some credit. Yeah, great comeback.

(13:28):
So and saw that awareness, Yeah exactly.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Well there's a big going down there too, wasn't there. Yeah,
you know, family and all the rest.

Speaker 9 (13:35):
No, it's good to see and new docker Jeremy Sharp
he also hit the track on Monday, so he has
signed a two year deal with Freo.

Speaker 11 (13:44):
He played twenty three games in.

Speaker 9 (13:46):
Four years at the Goald Coast, but they brought in
Peter Bowl to do the time trial, saw that.

Speaker 11 (13:52):
And he picked up with Peter Bowl.

Speaker 9 (13:54):
I mean, I don't think Bowl was going a million No,
I don't think he was. But still I couldn't even
keep up with Peter Bowl going ten percent of his fastest.

Speaker 11 (14:03):
So it was still impressive to see.

Speaker 9 (14:06):
But I don't think we're going to see Sharper at
the Olympics, okay.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
And he's pretty sharp too. They like Maddie the Boar.
When he was at the club, the girls were going
crazy and some boys too, imagine.

Speaker 9 (14:14):
So he's hoping for that wing position left vacant by
Liam Henry.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
We're talking sport with Anna Hay and a very smooth
gentleman has been signed by the Doggers, Yeah.

Speaker 11 (14:23):
Brandon Walker.

Speaker 9 (14:24):
So he's committed to a long term deal which will
see him at the club until at least the end
of twenty twenty seven, and there's a chance a deal
could extend to twenty twenty eight with the trigger. So
the small defender. He's been a key.

Speaker 11 (14:36):
Cog really in their back line.

Speaker 9 (14:39):
And it's important, I guess because this is part of
a huge amount of youngsters that have signed to at
least the end of twenty twenty six.

Speaker 11 (14:47):
So Swipkowsk, Dicksowski.

Speaker 9 (14:49):
Swatson, Song, Chapman, Cox, Tracy, Frederick, Amos, Jackson.

Speaker 11 (14:53):
That's just a few.

Speaker 9 (14:54):
I haven't even listed all of them that have signed
until at least the end of twenty twenty six. So
Freo are building a young core group that will hopefully
lead them to a premiership.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Walker coming back from very serious injury.

Speaker 9 (15:06):
Yeah, yeah, he's got a bit of free hab to do,
but hopefully he'll be back on the track.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Scorch Hers seasons over it is.

Speaker 9 (15:13):
That's it for the scorch Hers, so it was really disappointing.
They lost to the Brisbane Heat in the Challenger Final
at the Whacker on Wednesday night. Given it was at
the whackra I really hoped that they would get it done,
but they lost by well, the Heat won by sixty
seven runs. They now face the Strikers in the decider
on Saturday night in Adelaide, so it'll be Heat v.

Speaker 11 (15:33):
Strikers Grand Final. But don't worry, there's big Bash still
to calm.

Speaker 9 (15:36):
The men's season kicks off on Sunday, December ten against
the Renegades in Geelong, so there's plenty more to come.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
The Scorches women's season was the opposite of the men's
World Cup.

Speaker 11 (15:45):
To yeah, it was competing, Yeah, exactly, absolutely.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Couple of when Nellie upon the first Test it shouldn't
be surprised. As the first of December, Cameron Green is
giving selectors plenty to think about.

Speaker 9 (15:59):
Yeah, so he she used a brilliant knock in the
Sheffield Shield yesterday against Queensland. So it's his first Shield
game in two years. He made ninety six really good effort.
Their Hilton Cartwright made one hundred and thirty two wa
lead by fifty six runs at stumps on day three,
but it was washed out pretty much on Monday.

Speaker 11 (16:16):
So expect it to be a draw.

Speaker 9 (16:18):
But the first Test is in Perth, of course, against
Pakistan fourteenth of December. Officials are expecting around twenty thousand
fans on the opening.

Speaker 11 (16:25):
Day, so it's a few but they would have liked
a lot more.

Speaker 9 (16:29):
I'm a machining usually around they like around thirty thousands,
so but who knows.

Speaker 11 (16:33):
Still two weeks to go.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Have you seen Cameron Green's bat like it must be huge,
is it?

Speaker 10 (16:39):
I know?

Speaker 11 (16:40):
Yeah? Good on him. Hopefully he gets selected there.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Okay, what about the Cats.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (16:45):
So they're taking on the Sydney Kings at rsc Arena
tonight six thirty.

Speaker 11 (16:49):
So they've won their last five games.

Speaker 9 (16:51):
Hopefully they can do it again because they turn their
season around.

Speaker 11 (16:55):
We were worried at the start.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Okay, And are you ready for the weekend? I am
Alice in Wonderland. Yes.

Speaker 9 (17:03):
The Energy Christmas Pageant tomorrow night. I can't believe it's
already here. So it starts at seven point thirty pm
and it's a long Saint George's Terrace. If you can't
go though, you can watch it on Channel seven on Thursday,
the seventh of December at seven pm on Channel seven

Speaker 11 (17:23):
It's perfect. Get down there.

in the evening than the.

Speaker 11 (17:30):
Gets a bit hot drink day. And I love the light,
the live yes, and it's such a great atmosphere.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
I still have the blue on a line so the
kids don't go over that line.

Speaker 11 (17:39):
You know, there is something like that, There is a line.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
There used to be a line. When my kids not
to step out of it.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
They all have chalk and they're called a parent. Isn't
it what stops you from going over the line?

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Line down? But not even line. There's a line packing
on the ground.

Speaker 10 (17:59):
I went.

Speaker 11 (18:00):
I've seen some adults.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
No line, you've got a backround. We're fine.

Speaker 9 (18:11):
No, but it's really good. So Alice in Wonderland. I
haven't been her before.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
For hours, anything, anything. As long as you're not an
o ballompa, you're all good, which is not Christmas.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Thank you Anna.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Next week more crazy, more Lisa Moore podcasts Soon, there's
sure report on ninety six AIRFM.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
The Pogues frontman Shane McGowan has died. He was sixty five.
McGowan had recently been in hospital after being diagnosed with encephalitis, but.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
He had been unwell for quite some time.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Born in Kent, McGowan was the son of Irish immigrants
in front of the Pogues from nineteen eighty two until
their breakup in twenty fourteen. In eighty two he formed

Forty seven years after being stolen by a group of
drunk students, a Penny Lane street sign has been returned
to Liverpool. The Beatles Museum received an anonymous call a
while ago, with the man explaining that he and his
classmates were worse for wear when they stole the sign
in nineteen seventy six. Wow, he said, I'm getting on

(20:35):
a bit now and I want to return it to
the pool because Liverpool is where the sign should spend

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Today. Mark's an important moment. In fact, we have a

I speak of Elton John John four years ago tonight,
the four year Farewell year, the Farewell Yellow Brick Road
tour there at ah Top A Park, and what a
paradise it was.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
It was amazing, it was. I mean, it was so
much better than I expected. And I did hear a
bit of that people saying was so much better that
actually yeah, but you know, I mean Elton his voice
had he was older, he had given a little over
the years, but he was it was just back where
it belonged.

Speaker 3 (22:09):

got all the names of the venues right, you know.
