Speaker 1 (00:01):
Powered Buddy My Radio WAB from ninety six AIRFM to
whereever you're listening today.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
This is Clearsy and Lisa's podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Coming up on the podcast today Irish comedian Ed Burn.
He's on his way to town for the Perth Comedy Festival.
Barra talks everything we need to know about the Derby
and we took your calls.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
On the most boring tourist attraction you've ever visited.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
It's signed to Talk Sport with Adrian Barritge. Hey guys,
we're on Derby Street. Yeah, this week of course, the
fifty eighth edition, as you said, great man. And the
score at the moment is thirty two Eagles twenty five Dockers.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah, well you're catching up. I have you closed the gap?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Like seven they've won the last five the Dockers. There'll
be fifty thousand fans there on Saturday night. Starts about
six ' ten and off the stadium, so it's going
to be massive, most supporting West Coast West Coast home game.
I've been racking my brain as to how the Eagles
can actually win, but it seems like it's better.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yeah, I just oh, you really do.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Expert, but I'm no expert, but I'll have a gower
more than the other day.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It feels like there's six straight win for the Eggs,
which is j Loo six straight justin Longmre's sixth straight
win over his old mentor so he used to work
for as an assistant coach. So that must be really
give him too good. Yeah, it must be giving him
the tom.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
They'll be feeling they'll be feeling good, the crowd will
be up.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
And yeah last week.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And the only way, the only thing I think that
could come into is maybe complacency, Like if people like
myself start saying, oh, they's no chance, maybe the Dockers
will start believing it. And because they are hot favorites,
the experts are the win by at least five goals.
And I'm just wondering if it could rain long there's
no ranging, is there.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Any I'm afraid it is, and a top of thirty
chance of any rain thirty zero, top of thirty.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Sunny winds east nor eastly fifteen give you any rain.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
It's been giving up on any chance of rain.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Put a line through that.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
So the only thing could be is if they just
roll up and think they're sweet free, if they've been
drinking their own bath work.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
You're saying all of this out loud, you know, yes,
Like if you see it's probably you see a couple
of them walk on to the ground and they're wearing
the biggest set of headphones you've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
That's a bad sign.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
That means that they're ignoring the fans, trying not to
talk to anyone. I'm too focused, mate, nickof please if
you see that, or perhaps Beanie or a cap on backwards,
a new hairdoo, they're bad signs. They're invications deal with it.
They're not thinking about the game, all right. But I
don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Five.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
He might have his headphones, but he's a different beast,
and so's the derby. See it is a different beast.
It inspires super human efforts. Caleb Sarong's won two Glenn
Dinning Allen Medals, the best on ground. Josh Kennedy he won.
He used to lift. He won three. Hayes will be
won four. Yeah, so he used to absolutely love him.
Juddy the Big Pavlova, Mickey Barlow they were won three
(03:14):
as well.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
So the payback factor is strong.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
With the Eagles, though, because can you remember last year
when the Doc has beat them by one hundred and
one points and it nearly cost Simo thought, oh geez,
I'm sweet, I've got through the year, and he got
melted by and then it was like, hang on, do
we want to keep Simo still?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Big board meetings, crisis meetings.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So Simo survived the course, which was I thought is
a good decision, and it was free as biggest ever
win over the West Coast Eagles. So these are the
things that you'll have to watch out for. They're bringing back,
bringing back Sean Darcy, can you believe. So they've got
Darcy and Jackson in the ruck, which is frightening, and
then Jackson will push forward as well, so they need
(03:56):
someone to play on him. So down in their forward line,
they've got Amos, Accent and Tracy, and the Eagles have
got McGovern and Barras and they're kind of one short,
one big guy short. So a little a young fellow
by name of Hoff will probably have to play on Amos,
which is a big call.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
A lot of experience though. Yeah, I've got a lot
of super players. I would have liked old.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Veterans.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, I would like to see one of those guys
go forward and gave or barrass but it won't happen.
Then you've got the two old bulls in the middle.
Your man yoey, Yeah, up against NAT five.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
And he's on fire and he is doing well. He
looks good, but he looked really sore when he came
in here. He looks half a foot off the ground.
I reckon.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
He's he's loving everything about every day at the moment.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Oh, that's good, that's really good. So that's a good sign.
Last week Waterman kicked six goals. But now he runs
into Alex Pearce. Introduce yourself to a bigger, faster, taller
version of yourself.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You know what I mean. Like, we'll take five five.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, Well, the Dockers hold you to under ten goals,
so that they hold teams to under sixty four points.
They're the best defensive team in the game. So if
the Eagles can kick ten goals, that'll be actually a
pretty good effort. I'm thinking five or six, you know,
seven or eight single figures and can you win with that?
(05:19):
Jake Waterman he did boot six last week. He ran
a massive fourteen point two kilometers, So in one game
I run that collected in my life, it took me
three games to run for two glometers. What's going on
with them? D to the game as Daniel ker as
Daniel Kerr once fantous. He said, footy's great these days.
(05:40):
You run your guts out and then the game ends.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Like it's real good fun. They get paid a lot
more than we did.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's like doing the city to serve for people trying
to run you over everywhere. Have your turn everywhere you're turning.
So I was going to say to I wanted to
mention Harley read. I know that's predictable, isn't it that
We talked about Harley again and he.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Was great last week. We lived up. Didn't know me.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
As the old saying goes, if your hardy's broken, you
fix it. If you're broken, Harley fixes you. At least
that's the Hapy Davidson theme song. He's arrived twenty seven
touches last week and a goal, took home the Rising
Star nomination. And he likes to swagger. He's got the
swagger and I love that about him. I used to
(06:24):
swagger once. Now I sort of limp, limp and stagger stagger.
It's an unsteady that's gone from swagger to stagger.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I'm with you, I get it to me.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
But he has got and he talks about having the swagger,
and full credit to him.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
He's a Mick Jagger at all. Rhyme's Mick Jagger.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Of w the workings of a song, he did, you
work on that as long as you can swagger the
jagger stagger on the weekend there's a song.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
There too, playing like Jagger. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He stopped waiting for anyone to say it's okay to
be himself. He needs no permission And as Cousin he
said on the front bar, Harley, he likes to run
towards the fire. Yeah, that was fantastic by Ben. Did
you see Benny on that?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I did. He looked amazing. You know, in Melbourne, it's
just stundom.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
It rated unbelievably the front bar and people in Melbourne went, wow,
have a look at Ben Cousins. So we're used to
seeing in here on seven reading the sport. Yeah, and
full credit to him, you know. He he's mostly done it,
he said it. It's taken longer than he had hoped,
but he's mostly done it to get back to where
he was seven played a bit of a role.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
His family's played a massive, massive role.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I think it's taken as long as it had to,
as you know, as it turns out, that's what we've learned,
and that's what he should probably remember.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
You know, he's giving hope to people everywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I know there's a little bit of sort of backlash,
but you know, in terms of like the other day,
this is no boardust. I was in the vet and
a lady came up to me and she said, oh,
barah bar, you do something with Ben, don't you. And
she grabbed a piece of paper and she said says,
I want to write a note. I want to write
a letter to Ben. Can you please take this? He goes,
dear Ben, and she's crying and there's tears rolling down
(08:07):
her eyes. She goes, my son's been touched by this
horrible scourge. I'm going to write him a letter and
say how much he's given me hope that one day
my son might come out of this problem.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Like it was quite remarkable.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
No, this isn't a footy segment, This isn't a sporting thing,
but just yeah, but in a footy sense. Yeah, And
then it leads to do we add him into the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Of course we do.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'm sick of this debate even of course it should
be he should be there on his far and that
it probably that's a yes from me. Probably happens next year,
but yes, he should be in there on his football.
We had a game last night.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
We did, actually, and it was a very bad game
for the Securita footy club.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
So rossline.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Now people starting to doubt ross lyin whether it was
a good decision to send him there. Memory was at
Freeman or sid Well got him to a Grand Final,
then they had to sack him and they let the
CEO go as well, by the way this time, and
so he went into the media and now he's bobbed
up again. It's Sint Kilda suddenly. It's funny how it
turned so quickly. The Bulldogs thrashed them last night and
now Ross he's not as smart as he used to be.
(09:11):
I'm sick of all those sayings he uses and the
way he talks.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
You don't get a lot of grace now, you don't
know a lot of It's very fickle, very The Saints
have been waiting since nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Your fremanship I know, so they've have been a little
bit patient, but they're loyal.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
They're loyal man club, the footy club have since seventy seven.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
At least do you want to come to the game

Speaker 2 (10:56):
More Clezy, more Lisa, more podcasts.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
All right, all right, the list is in.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Yeah, it's a bit a bit rough in parts too.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
No.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Seven Australian tourist attractions have made it onto a list
of the one hundred most boring tourist attractions in the world.
And this list has been formulated by analyzing tens of
millions of Google reviews.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Wow, someone's had a lot of time that I'm sure
there is.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
That Internet's very fancy, true. I mean that you know,
the computer program stuff. Australia ract behind the US and
Canada with the third most boring tourist attractions on the list.
Now for reference topping the chart with the boredom score.
(11:53):
The US dominated the rankings and number one on the
list of the world's one hundred boring attractions is in Branson, Missouri.
It's the Branson Scenic Railway. All that should we say
all tracks lead to Branson. Yes, that is apparently the
most boring tourist attraction in the world.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
But let's get back to the Australian.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Component and talk about the two attractions in Perth that
made an appearance, one of them and the other one.
How jeah they ninety two on the list the Bell Tower.
So it's only just really, I know, it only just
scrapes in. It well, in my opinion, it only just
scrapes in as a tower. It's not very Now I've
(12:40):
never found it very impressive.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
But you know it is one of the world's largest
musical instruments.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Is that really it is?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
And the bells hark back to the fourteenth century?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Well, very cosimoto.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
The problem is it's dwarfed by everything that's exactly right,
exactly right. The other Perth tourist attraction on the list
came in at number sixteen.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Must be boring.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Hold on to your hat. The WA Museum Buller Barta.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
They have put that in as the sixteenth most boring
tourist attraction in the world.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Now do you.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Think if you broke this down demographically that maybe it's
you I think under twenty five.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well we're dealing with here is a bunch of Neanderthal
philistines that are putting these Google reviews in.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Because but what do you really think of them?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I think exactly that, because not only is our museum
on this list, but Sydney's Museum is also on the list.
The Museum in Melbourne is on the list, and Mona
in Burydale and Tasmania, which is the Museum of New
and Old which is a bit of a silly that's
an e gallery bit of it. Museum of New and
(14:00):
Old Art. Well, yes, you got the new age, You've got,
You've got it all. That's also on the list. See now,
I think I think it's some cult. I don't think
it's the kids. I think it's the kids swimming.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
I don't know that's that's that's my theory.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Have you met some of the grown ups out there
these days? Anyway, we're going to open the phones. What
is the most boring tourist attraction you've ever visited? I
reckon anything that's got big in front of it. The banana,
the big banana, the big.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Crawn, the big crayfish. Things Australia seen.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
That big carry o big. But wasn't that impressive anyway?
So what's what's best forgotten?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Steven Belladua, Hello, good morning, Hello, good What is it Steve?
Speaker 7 (14:48):
I would have to say the pinnacles?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Oh, quite like I feel like I'm on the moon.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
The last time I went there, the wife said to us,
we'll take the kids.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Haven't moon. Then we got there.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Remember, look on my son's face as if to say, really,
we've driven this far.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
What's not that far? Looks far enough? And look at
her mind. There's a lot of them.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
I mean, you have to look at.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Onele in of all. But I didn't find the pinnacles.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But yes, it is a you know, and and that's
the I reckon kids. Driving hours are different to It's
like dogg ears.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
It's longer.
Speaker 9 (15:33):
Are we there?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah, true, we really did.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Thanks, thank you, Bye bye, Matt and Belden. What's the
most boring tourist attraction you visited?
Speaker 10 (15:47):
When I was younger teenage years, my dad used to
sell Blarist tractors. We used to go on big tours
around w A and South Australia and all that sort
of stuff. But I found one of the worst ones was.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Actually is rock It was for a teenager sitting in
the middle of nowhere, stink and flies, hot, nothing.
Speaker 10 (16:08):
To do, there's no town near you.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
It was just I can't forget it.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You not only that.
Speaker 10 (16:19):
I mean we went to Calgooley the gold mine there.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
That was bloody boring as a teenager as well.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
They've run that many flies in the world.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
There.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
And this is when you could actually go on the rock.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
I mean, what the hell do you do out there?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Now?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
You absorb the majesty.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I didn't mind a LaRue, but I'm a bit like
that with unpopular opinion here.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I hate Broom. I reckon Sandy Beach and that's it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah, and yes, hot as hell. I reckon Broom.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Is the most over overrated town in Australia.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Not in July, if you want to whim. Was nothing
open a team here.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
This is all from the mind of kids. Even the
adults go.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
I went to Broom, we're.
Speaker 10 (17:14):
Grown.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I liked got a nice pearl, but that.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Was about it.
Speaker 10 (17:18):
The most towns around up there anyway.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Yeah not not not known tourist attractions though. Anyway, we
won't bag out any more towns there. Have a great day.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Paul Inn Gara, Hello.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
Good morning, How are you good. We went to Albany
for a holiday and one of the big attractions is
the blowholes there. Yeah, and it's like a over a
case walkover really rocky horror ground and it actually doesn't work.
We went three times to get a photo.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Maybe they're doing maintenance today you were there.
Speaker 8 (17:54):
No, No, they're saying the waves have to go the
right way. But as far as I have new, waves
only sort of go one way. I've never seen it
going backwards yet.
Speaker 11 (18:05):
True.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Yeah, so then everyone you talk to has never seen
it either.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
So all got a photo.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
There's nothing worse than a long trek something over a
rough terrain only for it.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
To be canceled. That day.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Was the gap working that day?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Though? The gap?
Speaker 8 (18:25):
The GAP's good to watch the waves crashing into it
and that, but you know it's yeah, you've got to
watch every step too, because it's really rocky, unlevel ground.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
One.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
You need to be careful and to sit on a
nice comfortable rock and wait for it. It's there's better
things to do. I reckon.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And no one wants to their tourist attraction endeavored to
end in being winched out helicopter because you've done your
between two rocks.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Sorry, Paul, you were disappointed, So all right, well be
back there you go once start reviewing.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
There's a play of the dinosaur footprints in I think
it's in broom that place that's that's hit too. You
can trudge six miles to see those and they've got
they're not there.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
They better be there. You've just got to find the
right time. They need to put a little sign of them.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Then dinosaur prints showing today performance canceled exactly.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Paul and sevil Grove, what is the most boring tourist
attraction you visited?
Speaker 7 (19:37):
Morning? We were on a boys' tube to Bali and we.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
Took a car to wood.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
One of the guys had said that we were going
to a butterfly farm, and we went there and no joke,
I think I saw three butterflies. That was it. It
was in the middle of nowhere. And then after that,
on top of that, they took us to this restaurant,
(20:08):
which again was in the middle of nowhere, and it
was a vegetarian restaurant. Five five one big guy. So
I was not only hungry, I was bought sticks as well.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
It's a day that you hear the words butterfly farm
and boys trip in the same sentence.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Vegetarian did he come back with?
Speaker 7 (20:36):
Decided to do it? He was a photographer and he
was getting all excited and taking these close ups of
these one or tible. I only saw three butterflies, but
you know, I thought you'd a bit more than that,
being a butterfly farm.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Yes, you know, that's fantastic.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Yeah, that's vegetarian restaurant. Just topped it off.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Memorable trip though, well, twenty nine sati sticks that night
when he got back to his hotel.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Thanks seven eleven on the way.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
So a disturbing and a space of motorbike fatalities we're
hearing about in the news over the last lot a
few weeks. Professor Theresa Censeric is the director of the
West Australian Center for Roads Safety Research, which is based
at UWA and supported by the Road Safety Commission, and
(21:37):
Professor Censeric is joining us this morning.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Hello, good morning, Hello, good morning.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Now, as we said, there seems to be a higher
number of motorcycle accidents than usual just lately. I mean,
there's been what three in the last ten days or something.
Even our traffic reports are reminding people to keep an
eye out for motorcyclists. So we're not imagining that there
has been a sudden uptick, are we.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
No, we're not.
Speaker 11 (22:02):
And we had a national road Safety conference yesterday which
showed this is happening across the country.
Speaker 12 (22:07):
H wow.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
So I mean, as someone who is the director of
road safety research, what does your research tell us is to.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Why it must be some reason why it's all all
of sudden.
Speaker 11 (22:20):
Yeah, why it's getting worse we think is I hate
to say, but it's partly due to bad habits learnt
during the COVID lockdown and reopening. Really, yes, we motorcycles
have been really one of the cohorts that are really
good about not having any alcohol or drugs when they're
riding because they really understand, you know, we understand the
(22:43):
effects of just small amounts and we're very vulnerable on
a bike. So unfortunately, you know, at a lot of
people took up riding and did a lot more riding,
and that's one of the factors that's contributing. Maybe there's
some inexperienced people out there that are not realizing how
much effect it has. But look, it's really hard until
(23:07):
we can really look at trends over time to really
understand is this just a random patch or is there
a trend going on?
Speaker 12 (23:16):
We really need to intervene here.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Still a little bit early in the piece, you think possibly.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
I think so, but I think it's really important for
everyone to know. Most often, when there's multiple vehicles in
a crash, it's most often a driver of another vehicle
that's at fault. It's not all about what motorcyclists are doing.
And we have a limitation as humans, our eyes and
the way our brain process is information. We are all
(23:44):
subject to this that if we're really attending to something
else in the environment, we're going to miss other things.
And there's a known phenomenon called inattentional blindness. If you
don't believe me, there's some fantastic videos people could look
up online and see how when we're really trying to
look at something else, we're missing other things that are
(24:05):
going because there's only so much we can take in
and process or someone's.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Time and professor, have you noticed is there a particular
age or a demographic gender that are involved in these accidents?
Are you seeing a pattern even though it's early, still, yeah.
Speaker 11 (24:22):
Look, just because of the amount of writers out there.
Most there's the high proportion of males, so we can't
we can't really say there's there's any changes in gender
at this point. And but I do have to say
a lot of us like to maybe we did some
writing when we were young, and we get a bit
older and we like to go back to writing. And
(24:46):
things are different, you know. Bikes, bikes are different, the
traffic patterns are.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Different, populations different, yes, Poul.
Speaker 11 (24:53):
Different for some of those huge vehicles on the road you.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Go to be in blind spot, all those four whels.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I mean, I drive a small car that's low to
the ground, and I have more chance of seeing under
them than around them when I pull up at a
stop sign, so I can't of you know, my car
is still a lot bigger than a motorbike, though, Professor,
is there an issue also in that this is one
of these cases where I find, you know, the motorcyclist
(25:22):
always likes to blame drivers, and drivers always like to
blame motorcyclists, you know, in the online debates and so on.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
That you see.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Do we need to try to get past that to
be able to just find a solution.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
It's not blaming each other.
Speaker 11 (25:36):
I really think we are all human and we all
have limitations in our vision, and the information processing is mentioned. Drivers,
if you get somebody to walk around your car and
look in your mirrors, even if you have the blind
spot technology, get them to walk out just one meter
wider and see where they absolutely disappear in those wider areas.
(25:58):
And motorcycles can be a fast of a lane and
you can miss them. And for motorcyclists, you know, sometimes
we say we hear you know, stay in the right
wheel track while you're right in front of the vision
of the driver, or others like to sit in the
left wheel track or the middle.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
All of that is incorrect.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
The most important thing is to move around so that
people can see you.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Yes, particularly if they're coming in from other.
Speaker 11 (26:24):
Lanes or it's not just the people behind you, So
you need to you need to ride defensively so that
you are better seen and that drivers see you. And yes,
I know that it looks like drivers are looking straight
at you and come towards you, but trust me, they
are not perceiving you. They might be looking your way,
but they are actually not seen you.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
So even the new technology and cars, you know, like
you said, the sensor.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Probably making people even lazier though possibly.
Speaker 11 (26:52):
You know, yeah, if we get reliant on them exactly,
do your head checks and the other catches the filtering
when I think is moving flow. Motorcyclists, we're legally permitted
to come between the lanes of traffic, but that is
another one that really I just never do it. Drivers
(27:12):
are looking to see, oh there's a gap over there.
Oh I'm supposed to be turning left right, and they
change and they are not looking up the middle of
the lane.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
No, no, you.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Don't because especially if the traffic is stationary, that's right.
Speaker 11 (27:26):
So I really advise against it for everyone out there.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
At the end of the day. Everyone just a little
bit of patience, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
And under learning that.
Speaker 11 (27:38):
Yeah, I'm just understanding that these are not intentional things.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I don't think we.
Speaker 11 (27:42):
Can say any driver or rite it are intentionally trying
to know. It doesn't unless you know you have a
road rate situation. It's just this is just the nature
of riding that we have to be really vigilant about
sharing the roads.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Despite the technology, everybody needs to still be aware.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Basically.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Well, Professor Censor, and thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
I'm very welcome.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
We can turn this around, turn it around absolutely. Thank
you very much for your time this morning.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
I do think that all that.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Technology and cars and you know we've got lights on
our light up things on our side, mirrors on the windscreen.
What doesn't mean I just look at that, see if
that lights on. I still check if there's a car
in my blind sport because I don't trust technology to that.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Because we've had a lifetime of driving where we never
had that. So it's kind of instinctive to still look.
When you learned with a column shift, that's.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Exactly exactly. I'm finding it hard to get used to it.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
And we went to a roster station.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Yes I remember those for it, Yes, absolutely, Okay, more
Clezy Lisa podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Soon Ed Burd showed Tragedy plus Time is on at
the Asta Theatre May three as part of the Comedy Festival.
Tickets through Perthcomedy Festival dot com Ed Burn.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
That was for you.
Speaker 12 (29:15):
That was very nice of you. I got to say
you're doing your research. You know that I'm a prince.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Prince in fact, tell us about the guitar you have, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (29:24):
A lot of guitar and an auction that used to
belong to Sheila that Princes played on the on the
prop Grane tour. Yeah, it's a it's a copy of
a Honer. Mad Cat apparently had a copy made because
he didn't like the way the pickups in a regular
Honer mad Cat worked with the pedals he was using,
so he had a custom made by guy in New York.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
He always wanted to be different.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Frtastic now because I'll do a twenty minute version of
Controversy the after show part in the O two.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
All wow, that is awesome. Now about you. Tragedy plus Time.
It's the title of the show. It's a bit of
a nod to a Mark Twain quote. Please explain for
the the unknowing.
Speaker 12 (30:15):
I don't even know what Mark Twain. I think he's
one of those people that people just give him credit,
particularly you just go crediting.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Plus this week already. God, yeah it was.
Speaker 12 (30:28):
I think it was actually a guy called Steve Allen.
They came up with the idea, really, humor could be
defined as tragedy plus time. Yeah, the idea that's something
that's not funny at the time, we'll become funny later.
And so it's kind of a look at that through
the focus of a very minor tragedy that took place
in my life, which was getting my car broken into,
and then a more major tragedy, which was the death
(30:50):
of a family member.
Speaker 9 (30:51):
So you know, I know it sounds quite serious, and
there's some sad moments in the show of course. Overall, yeah,
it's funny, ridiculously right.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I want humorous tragedy plus time, because no one cares
about news.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
For some it's a question of the amount of time.
Of course.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Absolutely, When did you realize what.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Timing is everything?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Maybe Mark twice tside, timing is everything?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Where did you realize.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
It that you had a knack for finding Now this
is the other thing, for finding the humor tragic events.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Not everyone can do it, but do you want to
look for it?
Speaker 12 (31:34):
It is an art, Yeah, I think. I mean I
kind of got a field for comedy. I used to
work in the student union, which I know put people
off me, but you know, I was I was a student,
so I was like, but I've got involved like a
student you know, union activity. So I was like a
tool amongst tools. Yeah, but I used to I would
(32:00):
host pub quizzes and karaokes and things like that, and
I kind of get a feel for, you know, for
for just getting in front of the crowd. And then
I started after I dropped out of college, I started
them seeing a comedy club in Glasgow where I lived,
and you know, just that was it. Then I did
that for a few months, then moved to London where
the streets are paved with comedy clubs.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Yeah, And there's a lot of talk about this at
the moment, And man, how do you feel. You know,
there's this whole division here between the woke the the
anti woke factions in comedy. People have taken their side.
How do you feel about it? Well, what side do
you take?
Speaker 12 (32:44):
Oh, I would say I'd be more woke than anti woke.
I've got to say, I find I find a lot
of the I find I find the idea of being. Well,
it's very easy to define yourself as anti woke, because
people who are anti woke will define anything as woke,
as being anything they don't like. Woke used to mean something,
(33:04):
and now it just means anything that sends to the
left of the person saying the word woke.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Like anything, you've vote it down over time.
Speaker 12 (33:11):
Yeah, Yeah, it's just becomes it's it's become an utterly
meaningless term. I think it's just I think sometimes people
who are being too right on, and sometimes it just
means anybody who just thinks, I don't know, racism is bad.
(33:32):
Having said that, I find I find anybody who's whose
humor is derived entirely from being woke and getting over
to clap how woke they are, or being anti woke
and getting ready to clap, how anti.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Woke they are.
Speaker 12 (33:44):
I find both of those factions equally tedious. Yeah, I
do find something just going yep, that's an interesting statement.
They're a joke coming yes and yeah, yeah, but it
is weird, how yeah, how tribal the industry seems to
have become. Although I find we're talking about tribalism. I've
(34:07):
never been in the country like Australia, or maybe it's
a city like Melbourne where the day of the week
seems to make more of a difference to how the
audience react.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Really, because it's.
Speaker 12 (34:17):
The difference between a Wednesday Tuesday audience and a Friday
Saturday audience is just night and day. Anyway, I'm suring
around the UK it's not not really that big a
difference compared to.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Here alcohol Wednesday, because we always refer to you are
Wednesday night as a school night, and so we we
are like, I mean, you've been in a student union.
We're luck well, like a bunch of students once against
a Friday night, just going a bit silly.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
But that's okay.
Speaker 12 (34:50):
Now I find audience that I sitting there like on
a Wednesday night and they're like, we shouldn't be out
this way.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Naughty.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
By the way, that's a very tidy Australian accent.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
You just it.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Wasn't oh yes, it wasn't overdone. It wasn't underdone. It
was right in the middle, like.
Speaker 12 (35:18):
The one that I just can't. I can't I give
you one sentence with the New Zealand accent if you
won't judge, it's.
Speaker 8 (35:26):
Quite an extensive menu.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Good. That's very good. That's very good.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
And being able to appreciate that subtle nuance between the two.
Now when you're in Australia coming up next month, you
can just pay attention to just how different it is
between the states too, and then then you've become a
master of the the accent.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
There's the difference between Melbourne.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
And Yeah and It could also vary from Jason Day
I find as well AnyWho edburn May three as part
of the Comedy Festival at the glorious Asta Theater. Good Goodness,
that is on Thursday Friday.
Speaker 12 (36:12):
You'll be fine, it's gonna go off. You're gonna get
a final gig of my Australian Tourist.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
You're going to get Friday tour vibes. I I drive
past the ASTA Theater every day on my way home
from a work and there's a one of those big
video ad screens, so I sit. I quite often sit
at the lights and look at your lovely face and
so look.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
For I don't don't.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Don't take that in a weird storkery way.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
That a voice to the face.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
But lovely to put a voice to the face. See
you on the third of the Asta.

Dicky Betts, the guitarists from the Almond brother Brother's band,
has died. Bets is known for writing some of the
Allman Brothers' most famous songs, including In Memory of Elizabeth
Red a Blue Sky and their only top ten hit,
ramblin Man. Dicky Betts was eighty. He passed away peacefully
in his Florida home yesterday. The Netflix fantasy series The
(37:19):
Witcher has been renewed for season five, but that'll be
it all over, Red Rover. Netflix has announced that will
be the end of the series. Season four is in
production now. It'll film back to back with season five.
Season four will be the first with Liam Hemsworth replacing
Henry Cavell in the lead role. Full disclosure, I've never
seen The Witcher, no, but I've heard it's pretty good.
(37:41):
Axel Rose is finally getting caught up on this whole
Internet caper, the whole Internet. The Guns n' Roses front
man has just launched his own website, officialaxelose dot com.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
The site doesn't have a lot to offer yet.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
There's a brief bio, some links to news articles, and
a scrolling photo gallery. But it's Axel's very first website
that's not directly connected to Guns n' Roses. And Carli
Minogue has made it onto Time Magazine's twenty twenty four
list of the one hundred most influential People.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
It's early to call it, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
I Mean it's only April, ye, someone might be a
bit more influency.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
Yeah, but you know how much more can happen?
Speaker 6 (38:25):
I don't know anyway. Carl has been listed as an
icon the.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Most overused word, most overused word in the English language
at the moment.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
I find it woke. It's like woke.
Speaker 6 (38:38):
The word is not everything to be iconic, hence the
definition of it
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Crazy and Lisazz
Powered Buddy My Radio WAB from ninety six AIRFM to
whereever you're listening today.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
This is Clearsy and Lisa's podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Coming up on the podcast today Irish comedian Ed Burn.
He's on his way to town for the Perth Comedy Festival.
Barra talks everything we need to know about the Derby
and we took your calls.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
On the most boring tourist attraction you've ever visited.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
It's signed to Talk Sport with Adrian Barritge. Hey guys,
we're on Derby Street. Yeah, this week of course, the
fifty eighth edition, as you said, great man. And the
score at the moment is thirty two Eagles twenty five Dockers.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah, well you're catching up. I have you closed the gap?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Like seven they've won the last five the Dockers. There'll
be fifty thousand fans there on Saturday night. Starts about
six ' ten and off the stadium, so it's going
to be massive, most supporting West Coast West Coast home game.
I've been racking my brain as to how the Eagles
can actually win, but it seems like it's better.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yeah, I just oh, you really do.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Expert, but I'm no expert, but I'll have a gower
more than the other day.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It feels like there's six straight win for the Eggs,
which is j Loo six straight justin Longmre's sixth straight
win over his old mentor so he used to work
for as an assistant coach. So that must be really
give him too good. Yeah, it must be giving him
the tom.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
They'll be feeling they'll be feeling good, the crowd will
be up.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
And yeah last week.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And the only way, the only thing I think that
could come into is maybe complacency, Like if people like
myself start saying, oh, they's no chance, maybe the Dockers
will start believing it. And because they are hot favorites,
the experts are the win by at least five goals.
And I'm just wondering if it could rain long there's
no ranging, is there.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Any I'm afraid it is, and a top of thirty
chance of any rain thirty zero, top of thirty.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Sunny winds east nor eastly fifteen give you any rain.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
It's been giving up on any chance of rain.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Put a line through that.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
So the only thing could be is if they just
roll up and think they're sweet free, if they've been
drinking their own bath work.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
You're saying all of this out loud, you know, yes,
Like if you see it's probably you see a couple
of them walk on to the ground and they're wearing
the biggest set of headphones you've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
That's a bad sign.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
That means that they're ignoring the fans, trying not to
talk to anyone. I'm too focused, mate, nickof please if
you see that, or perhaps Beanie or a cap on backwards,
a new hairdoo, they're bad signs. They're invications deal with it.
They're not thinking about the game, all right. But I
don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Five.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
He might have his headphones, but he's a different beast,
and so's the derby. See it is a different beast.
It inspires super human efforts. Caleb Sarong's won two Glenn
Dinning Allen Medals, the best on ground. Josh Kennedy he won.
He used to lift. He won three. Hayes will be
won four. Yeah, so he used to absolutely love him.
Juddy the Big Pavlova, Mickey Barlow they were won three
(03:14):
as well.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
So the payback factor is strong.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
With the Eagles, though, because can you remember last year
when the Doc has beat them by one hundred and
one points and it nearly cost Simo thought, oh geez,
I'm sweet, I've got through the year, and he got
melted by and then it was like, hang on, do
we want to keep Simo still?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Big board meetings, crisis meetings.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So Simo survived the course, which was I thought is
a good decision, and it was free as biggest ever
win over the West Coast Eagles. So these are the
things that you'll have to watch out for. They're bringing back,
bringing back Sean Darcy, can you believe. So they've got
Darcy and Jackson in the ruck, which is frightening, and
then Jackson will push forward as well, so they need
(03:56):
someone to play on him. So down in their forward line,
they've got Amos, Accent and Tracy, and the Eagles have
got McGovern and Barras and they're kind of one short,
one big guy short. So a little a young fellow
by name of Hoff will probably have to play on Amos,
which is a big call.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
A lot of experience though. Yeah, I've got a lot
of super players. I would have liked old.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Veterans.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, I would like to see one of those guys
go forward and gave or barrass but it won't happen.
Then you've got the two old bulls in the middle.
Your man yoey, Yeah, up against NAT five.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
And he's on fire and he is doing well. He
looks good, but he looked really sore when he came
in here. He looks half a foot off the ground.
I reckon.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
He's he's loving everything about every day at the moment.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Oh, that's good, that's really good. So that's a good sign.
Last week Waterman kicked six goals. But now he runs
into Alex Pearce. Introduce yourself to a bigger, faster, taller
version of yourself.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You know what I mean. Like, we'll take five five.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, Well, the Dockers hold you to under ten goals,
so that they hold teams to under sixty four points.
They're the best defensive team in the game. So if
the Eagles can kick ten goals, that'll be actually a
pretty good effort. I'm thinking five or six, you know,
seven or eight single figures and can you win with that?
(05:19):
Jake Waterman he did boot six last week. He ran
a massive fourteen point two kilometers, So in one game
I run that collected in my life, it took me
three games to run for two glometers. What's going on
with them? D to the game as Daniel ker as
Daniel Kerr once fantous. He said, footy's great these days.
(05:40):
You run your guts out and then the game ends.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Like it's real good fun. They get paid a lot
more than we did.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's like doing the city to serve for people trying
to run you over everywhere. Have your turn everywhere you're turning.
So I was going to say to I wanted to
mention Harley read. I know that's predictable, isn't it that
We talked about Harley again and he.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Was great last week. We lived up. Didn't know me.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
As the old saying goes, if your hardy's broken, you
fix it. If you're broken, Harley fixes you. At least
that's the Hapy Davidson theme song. He's arrived twenty seven
touches last week and a goal, took home the Rising
Star nomination. And he likes to swagger. He's got the
swagger and I love that about him. I used to
(06:24):
swagger once. Now I sort of limp, limp and stagger stagger.
It's an unsteady that's gone from swagger to stagger.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I'm with you, I get it to me.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
But he has got and he talks about having the swagger,
and full credit to him.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
He's a Mick Jagger at all. Rhyme's Mick Jagger.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Of w the workings of a song, he did, you
work on that as long as you can swagger the
jagger stagger on the weekend there's a song.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
There too, playing like Jagger. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He stopped waiting for anyone to say it's okay to
be himself. He needs no permission And as Cousin he
said on the front bar, Harley, he likes to run
towards the fire. Yeah, that was fantastic by Ben. Did
you see Benny on that?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I did. He looked amazing. You know, in Melbourne, it's
just stundom.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
It rated unbelievably the front bar and people in Melbourne went, wow,
have a look at Ben Cousins. So we're used to
seeing in here on seven reading the sport. Yeah, and
full credit to him, you know. He he's mostly done it,
he said it. It's taken longer than he had hoped,
but he's mostly done it to get back to where
he was seven played a bit of a role.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
His family's played a massive, massive role.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I think it's taken as long as it had to,
as you know, as it turns out, that's what we've learned,
and that's what he should probably remember.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
You know, he's giving hope to people everywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I know there's a little bit of sort of backlash,
but you know, in terms of like the other day,
this is no boardust. I was in the vet and
a lady came up to me and she said, oh,
barah bar, you do something with Ben, don't you. And
she grabbed a piece of paper and she said says,
I want to write a note. I want to write
a letter to Ben. Can you please take this? He goes,
dear Ben, and she's crying and there's tears rolling down
(08:07):
her eyes. She goes, my son's been touched by this
horrible scourge. I'm going to write him a letter and
say how much he's given me hope that one day
my son might come out of this problem.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Like it was quite remarkable.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
No, this isn't a footy segment, This isn't a sporting thing,
but just yeah, but in a footy sense. Yeah, And
then it leads to do we add him into the
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Of course we do.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'm sick of this debate even of course it should
be he should be there on his far and that
it probably that's a yes from me. Probably happens next year,
but yes, he should be in there on his football.
We had a game last night.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
We did, actually, and it was a very bad game
for the Securita footy club.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
So rossline.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Now people starting to doubt ross lyin whether it was
a good decision to send him there. Memory was at
Freeman or sid Well got him to a Grand Final,
then they had to sack him and they let the
CEO go as well, by the way this time, and
so he went into the media and now he's bobbed
up again. It's Sint Kilda suddenly. It's funny how it
turned so quickly. The Bulldogs thrashed them last night and
now Ross he's not as smart as he used to be.
(09:11):
I'm sick of all those sayings he uses and the
way he talks.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
You don't get a lot of grace now, you don't
know a lot of It's very fickle, very The Saints
have been waiting since nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Your fremanship I know, so they've have been a little
bit patient, but they're loyal.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
They're loyal man club, the footy club have since seventy seven.
And we beat it Beach beat in seventy eight, Blood
Royal and we played it next Thursday.

who donated to Tellson thank you very much and thank
you for your work as well.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You thank you, bar And we'll dissect the derby on Monday. Yeah, okay,
I'll get you. We'll see what the Ledger looks like
on Monday.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
More Clezy, more Lisa, more podcasts.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
All right, all right, the list is in.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Yeah, it's a bit a bit rough in parts too.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
No.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Seven Australian tourist attractions have made it onto a list
of the one hundred most boring tourist attractions in the world.
And this list has been formulated by analyzing tens of
millions of Google reviews.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Wow, someone's had a lot of time that I'm sure
there is.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
That Internet's very fancy, true. I mean that you know,
the computer program stuff. Australia ract behind the US and
Canada with the third most boring tourist attractions on the list.
Now for reference topping the chart with the boredom score.
(11:53):
The US dominated the rankings and number one on the
list of the world's one hundred boring attractions is in Branson, Missouri.
It's the Branson Scenic Railway. All that should we say
all tracks lead to Branson. Yes, that is apparently the
most boring tourist attraction in the world.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
But let's get back to the Australian.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Component and talk about the two attractions in Perth that
made an appearance, one of them and the other one.
How jeah they ninety two on the list the Bell Tower.
So it's only just really, I know, it only just
scrapes in. It well, in my opinion, it only just
scrapes in as a tower. It's not very Now I've
(12:40):
never found it very impressive.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
But you know it is one of the world's largest
musical instruments.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Is that really it is?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
And the bells hark back to the fourteenth century?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Well, very cosimoto.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
The problem is it's dwarfed by everything that's exactly right,
exactly right. The other Perth tourist attraction on the list
came in at number sixteen.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Must be boring.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Hold on to your hat. The WA Museum Buller Barta.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
They have put that in as the sixteenth most boring
tourist attraction in the world.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Now do you.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Think if you broke this down demographically that maybe it's
you I think under twenty five.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well we're dealing with here is a bunch of Neanderthal
philistines that are putting these Google reviews in.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Because but what do you really think of them?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I think exactly that, because not only is our museum
on this list, but Sydney's Museum is also on the list.
The Museum in Melbourne is on the list, and Mona
in Burydale and Tasmania, which is the Museum of New
and Old which is a bit of a silly that's
an e gallery bit of it. Museum of New and
(14:00):
Old Art. Well, yes, you got the new age, You've got,
You've got it all. That's also on the list. See now,
I think I think it's some cult. I don't think
it's the kids. I think it's the kids swimming.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
I don't know that's that's that's my theory.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Have you met some of the grown ups out there
these days? Anyway, we're going to open the phones. What
is the most boring tourist attraction you've ever visited? I
reckon anything that's got big in front of it. The banana,
the big banana, the big.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Crawn, the big crayfish. Things Australia seen.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
That big carry o big. But wasn't that impressive anyway?
So what's what's best forgotten?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Steven Belladua, Hello, good morning, Hello, good What is it Steve?
Speaker 7 (14:48):
I would have to say the pinnacles?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Oh, quite like I feel like I'm on the moon.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
The last time I went there, the wife said to us,
we'll take the kids.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Haven't moon. Then we got there.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Remember, look on my son's face as if to say, really,
we've driven this far.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
What's not that far? Looks far enough? And look at
her mind. There's a lot of them.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
I mean, you have to look at.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Onele in of all. But I didn't find the pinnacles.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But yes, it is a you know, and and that's
the I reckon kids. Driving hours are different to It's
like dogg ears.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
It's longer.
Speaker 9 (15:33):
Are we there?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah, true, we really did.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Thanks, thank you, Bye bye, Matt and Belden. What's the
most boring tourist attraction you visited?
Speaker 10 (15:47):
When I was younger teenage years, my dad used to
sell Blarist tractors. We used to go on big tours
around w A and South Australia and all that sort
of stuff. But I found one of the worst ones was.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Actually is rock It was for a teenager sitting in
the middle of nowhere, stink and flies, hot, nothing.
Speaker 10 (16:08):
To do, there's no town near you.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
It was just I can't forget it.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You not only that.
Speaker 10 (16:19):
I mean we went to Calgooley the gold mine there.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
That was bloody boring as a teenager as well.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
They've run that many flies in the world.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
There.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
And this is when you could actually go on the rock.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
I mean, what the hell do you do out there?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Now?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
You absorb the majesty.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I didn't mind a LaRue, but I'm a bit like
that with unpopular opinion here.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I hate Broom. I reckon Sandy Beach and that's it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah, and yes, hot as hell. I reckon Broom.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Is the most over overrated town in Australia.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Not in July, if you want to whim. Was nothing
open a team here.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
This is all from the mind of kids. Even the
adults go.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
I went to Broom, we're.
Speaker 10 (17:14):
Grown.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I liked got a nice pearl, but that.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Was about it.
Speaker 10 (17:18):
The most towns around up there anyway.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Yeah not not not known tourist attractions though. Anyway, we
won't bag out any more towns there. Have a great day.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Paul Inn Gara, Hello.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
Good morning, How are you good. We went to Albany
for a holiday and one of the big attractions is
the blowholes there. Yeah, and it's like a over a
case walkover really rocky horror ground and it actually doesn't work.
We went three times to get a photo.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Maybe they're doing maintenance today you were there.
Speaker 8 (17:54):
No, No, they're saying the waves have to go the
right way. But as far as I have new, waves
only sort of go one way. I've never seen it
going backwards yet.
Speaker 11 (18:05):
True.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Yeah, so then everyone you talk to has never seen
it either.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
So all got a photo.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
There's nothing worse than a long trek something over a
rough terrain only for it.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
To be canceled. That day.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Was the gap working that day?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Though? The gap?
Speaker 8 (18:25):
The GAP's good to watch the waves crashing into it
and that, but you know it's yeah, you've got to
watch every step too, because it's really rocky, unlevel ground.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
One.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
You need to be careful and to sit on a
nice comfortable rock and wait for it. It's there's better
things to do. I reckon.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And no one wants to their tourist attraction endeavored to
end in being winched out helicopter because you've done your
between two rocks.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Sorry, Paul, you were disappointed, So all right, well be
back there you go once start reviewing.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
There's a play of the dinosaur footprints in I think
it's in broom that place that's that's hit too. You
can trudge six miles to see those and they've got
they're not there.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
They better be there. You've just got to find the
right time. They need to put a little sign of them.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Then dinosaur prints showing today performance canceled exactly.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Paul and sevil Grove, what is the most boring tourist
attraction you visited?
Speaker 7 (19:37):
Morning? We were on a boys' tube to Bali and we.
Speaker 8 (19:43):
Took a car to wood.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
One of the guys had said that we were going
to a butterfly farm, and we went there and no joke,
I think I saw three butterflies. That was it. It
was in the middle of nowhere. And then after that,
on top of that, they took us to this restaurant,
(20:08):
which again was in the middle of nowhere, and it
was a vegetarian restaurant. Five five one big guy. So
I was not only hungry, I was bought sticks as well.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
It's a day that you hear the words butterfly farm
and boys trip in the same sentence.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Vegetarian did he come back with?
Speaker 7 (20:36):
Decided to do it? He was a photographer and he
was getting all excited and taking these close ups of
these one or tible. I only saw three butterflies, but
you know, I thought you'd a bit more than that,
being a butterfly farm.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Yes, you know, that's fantastic.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Yeah, that's vegetarian restaurant. Just topped it off.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Memorable trip though, well, twenty nine sati sticks that night
when he got back to his hotel.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Thanks seven eleven on the way.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
So a disturbing and a space of motorbike fatalities we're
hearing about in the news over the last lot a
few weeks. Professor Theresa Censeric is the director of the
West Australian Center for Roads Safety Research, which is based
at UWA and supported by the Road Safety Commission, and
(21:37):
Professor Censeric is joining us this morning.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Hello, good morning, Hello, good morning.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Now, as we said, there seems to be a higher
number of motorcycle accidents than usual just lately. I mean,
there's been what three in the last ten days or something.
Even our traffic reports are reminding people to keep an
eye out for motorcyclists. So we're not imagining that there
has been a sudden uptick, are we.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
No, we're not.
Speaker 11 (22:02):
And we had a national road Safety conference yesterday which
showed this is happening across the country.
Speaker 12 (22:07):
H wow.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
So I mean, as someone who is the director of
road safety research, what does your research tell us is to.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Why it must be some reason why it's all all
of sudden.
Speaker 11 (22:20):
Yeah, why it's getting worse we think is I hate
to say, but it's partly due to bad habits learnt
during the COVID lockdown and reopening. Really, yes, we motorcycles
have been really one of the cohorts that are really
good about not having any alcohol or drugs when they're
riding because they really understand, you know, we understand the
(22:43):
effects of just small amounts and we're very vulnerable on
a bike. So unfortunately, you know, at a lot of
people took up riding and did a lot more riding,
and that's one of the factors that's contributing. Maybe there's
some inexperienced people out there that are not realizing how
much effect it has. But look, it's really hard until
(23:07):
we can really look at trends over time to really
understand is this just a random patch or is there
a trend going on?
Speaker 12 (23:16):
We really need to intervene here.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Still a little bit early in the piece, you think possibly.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
I think so, but I think it's really important for
everyone to know. Most often, when there's multiple vehicles in
a crash, it's most often a driver of another vehicle
that's at fault. It's not all about what motorcyclists are doing.
And we have a limitation as humans, our eyes and
the way our brain process is information. We are all
(23:44):
subject to this that if we're really attending to something
else in the environment, we're going to miss other things.
And there's a known phenomenon called inattentional blindness. If you
don't believe me, there's some fantastic videos people could look
up online and see how when we're really trying to
look at something else, we're missing other things that are
(24:05):
going because there's only so much we can take in
and process or someone's.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Time and professor, have you noticed is there a particular
age or a demographic gender that are involved in these accidents?
Are you seeing a pattern even though it's early, still, yeah.
Speaker 11 (24:22):
Look, just because of the amount of writers out there.
Most there's the high proportion of males, so we can't
we can't really say there's there's any changes in gender
at this point. And but I do have to say
a lot of us like to maybe we did some
writing when we were young, and we get a bit
older and we like to go back to writing. And
(24:46):
things are different, you know. Bikes, bikes are different, the
traffic patterns are.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Different, populations different, yes, Poul.
Speaker 11 (24:53):
Different for some of those huge vehicles on the road you.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Go to be in blind spot, all those four whels.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I mean, I drive a small car that's low to
the ground, and I have more chance of seeing under
them than around them when I pull up at a
stop sign, so I can't of you know, my car
is still a lot bigger than a motorbike, though, Professor,
is there an issue also in that this is one
of these cases where I find, you know, the motorcyclist
(25:22):
always likes to blame drivers, and drivers always like to
blame motorcyclists, you know, in the online debates and so on.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
That you see.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Do we need to try to get past that to
be able to just find a solution.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
It's not blaming each other.
Speaker 11 (25:36):
I really think we are all human and we all
have limitations in our vision, and the information processing is mentioned. Drivers,
if you get somebody to walk around your car and
look in your mirrors, even if you have the blind
spot technology, get them to walk out just one meter
wider and see where they absolutely disappear in those wider areas.
(25:58):
And motorcycles can be a fast of a lane and
you can miss them. And for motorcyclists, you know, sometimes
we say we hear you know, stay in the right
wheel track while you're right in front of the vision
of the driver, or others like to sit in the
left wheel track or the middle.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
All of that is incorrect.
Speaker 11 (26:18):
The most important thing is to move around so that
people can see you.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Yes, particularly if they're coming in from other.
Speaker 11 (26:24):
Lanes or it's not just the people behind you, So
you need to you need to ride defensively so that
you are better seen and that drivers see you. And yes,
I know that it looks like drivers are looking straight
at you and come towards you, but trust me, they
are not perceiving you. They might be looking your way,
but they are actually not seen you.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
So even the new technology and cars, you know, like
you said, the sensor.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Probably making people even lazier though possibly.
Speaker 11 (26:52):
You know, yeah, if we get reliant on them exactly,
do your head checks and the other catches the filtering
when I think is moving flow. Motorcyclists, we're legally permitted
to come between the lanes of traffic, but that is
another one that really I just never do it. Drivers
(27:12):
are looking to see, oh there's a gap over there.
Oh I'm supposed to be turning left right, and they
change and they are not looking up the middle of
the lane.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
No, no, you.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Don't because especially if the traffic is stationary, that's right.
Speaker 11 (27:26):
So I really advise against it for everyone out there.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
At the end of the day. Everyone just a little
bit of patience, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
And under learning that.
Speaker 11 (27:38):
Yeah, I'm just understanding that these are not intentional things.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I don't think we.
Speaker 11 (27:42):
Can say any driver or rite it are intentionally trying
to know. It doesn't unless you know you have a
road rate situation. It's just this is just the nature
of riding that we have to be really vigilant about
sharing the roads.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Despite the technology, everybody needs to still be aware.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Basically.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Well, Professor Censor, and thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
I'm very welcome.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
We can turn this around, turn it around absolutely. Thank
you very much for your time this morning.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
I do think that all that.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Technology and cars and you know we've got lights on
our light up things on our side, mirrors on the windscreen.
What doesn't mean I just look at that, see if
that lights on. I still check if there's a car
in my blind sport because I don't trust technology to that.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Because we've had a lifetime of driving where we never
had that. So it's kind of instinctive to still look.
When you learned with a column shift, that's.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Exactly exactly. I'm finding it hard to get used to it.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
And we went to a roster station.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Yes I remember those for it, Yes, absolutely, Okay, more
Clezy Lisa podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Soon Ed Burd showed Tragedy plus Time is on at
the Asta Theatre May three as part of the Comedy Festival.
Tickets through Perthcomedy Festival dot com Ed Burn.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
That was for you.
Speaker 12 (29:15):
That was very nice of you. I got to say
you're doing your research. You know that I'm a prince.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Prince in fact, tell us about the guitar you have, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (29:24):
A lot of guitar and an auction that used to
belong to Sheila that Princes played on the on the
prop Grane tour. Yeah, it's a it's a copy of
a Honer. Mad Cat apparently had a copy made because
he didn't like the way the pickups in a regular
Honer mad Cat worked with the pedals he was using,
so he had a custom made by guy in New York.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
He always wanted to be different.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Frtastic now because I'll do a twenty minute version of
Controversy the after show part in the O two.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
All wow, that is awesome. Now about you. Tragedy plus Time.
It's the title of the show. It's a bit of
a nod to a Mark Twain quote. Please explain for
the the unknowing.
Speaker 12 (30:15):
I don't even know what Mark Twain. I think he's
one of those people that people just give him credit,
particularly you just go crediting.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Plus this week already. God, yeah it was.
Speaker 12 (30:28):
I think it was actually a guy called Steve Allen.
They came up with the idea, really, humor could be
defined as tragedy plus time. Yeah, the idea that's something
that's not funny at the time, we'll become funny later.
And so it's kind of a look at that through
the focus of a very minor tragedy that took place
in my life, which was getting my car broken into,
and then a more major tragedy, which was the death
(30:50):
of a family member.
Speaker 9 (30:51):
So you know, I know it sounds quite serious, and
there's some sad moments in the show of course. Overall, yeah,
it's funny, ridiculously right.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I want humorous tragedy plus time, because no one cares
about news.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
For some it's a question of the amount of time.
Of course.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Absolutely, When did you realize what.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Timing is everything?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Maybe Mark twice tside, timing is everything?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Where did you realize.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
It that you had a knack for finding Now this
is the other thing, for finding the humor tragic events.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Not everyone can do it, but do you want to
look for it?
Speaker 12 (31:34):
It is an art, Yeah, I think. I mean I
kind of got a field for comedy. I used to
work in the student union, which I know put people
off me, but you know, I was I was a student,
so I was like, but I've got involved like a
student you know, union activity. So I was like a
tool amongst tools. Yeah, but I used to I would
(32:00):
host pub quizzes and karaokes and things like that, and
I kind of get a feel for, you know, for
for just getting in front of the crowd. And then
I started after I dropped out of college, I started
them seeing a comedy club in Glasgow where I lived,
and you know, just that was it. Then I did
that for a few months, then moved to London where
the streets are paved with comedy clubs.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Yeah, And there's a lot of talk about this at
the moment, And man, how do you feel. You know,
there's this whole division here between the woke the the
anti woke factions in comedy. People have taken their side.
How do you feel about it? Well, what side do
you take?
Speaker 12 (32:44):
Oh, I would say I'd be more woke than anti woke.
I've got to say, I find I find a lot
of the I find I find the idea of being. Well,
it's very easy to define yourself as anti woke, because
people who are anti woke will define anything as woke,
as being anything they don't like. Woke used to mean something,
(33:04):
and now it just means anything that sends to the
left of the person saying the word woke.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Like anything, you've vote it down over time.
Speaker 12 (33:11):
Yeah, Yeah, it's just becomes it's it's become an utterly
meaningless term. I think it's just I think sometimes people
who are being too right on, and sometimes it just
means anybody who just thinks, I don't know, racism is bad.
(33:32):
Having said that, I find I find anybody who's whose
humor is derived entirely from being woke and getting over
to clap how woke they are, or being anti woke
and getting ready to clap, how anti.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Woke they are.
Speaker 12 (33:44):
I find both of those factions equally tedious. Yeah, I
do find something just going yep, that's an interesting statement.
They're a joke coming yes and yeah, yeah, but it
is weird, how yeah, how tribal the industry seems to
have become. Although I find we're talking about tribalism. I've
(34:07):
never been in the country like Australia, or maybe it's
a city like Melbourne where the day of the week
seems to make more of a difference to how the
audience react.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Really, because it's.
Speaker 12 (34:17):
The difference between a Wednesday Tuesday audience and a Friday
Saturday audience is just night and day. Anyway, I'm suring
around the UK it's not not really that big a
difference compared to.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Here alcohol Wednesday, because we always refer to you are
Wednesday night as a school night, and so we we
are like, I mean, you've been in a student union.
We're luck well, like a bunch of students once against
a Friday night, just going a bit silly.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
But that's okay.
Speaker 12 (34:50):
Now I find audience that I sitting there like on
a Wednesday night and they're like, we shouldn't be out
this way.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Naughty.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
By the way, that's a very tidy Australian accent.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
You just it.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Wasn't oh yes, it wasn't overdone. It wasn't underdone. It
was right in the middle, like.
Speaker 12 (35:18):
The one that I just can't. I can't I give
you one sentence with the New Zealand accent if you
won't judge, it's.
Speaker 8 (35:26):
Quite an extensive menu.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Good. That's very good. That's very good.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
And being able to appreciate that subtle nuance between the two.
Now when you're in Australia coming up next month, you
can just pay attention to just how different it is
between the states too, and then then you've become a
master of the the accent.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
There's the difference between Melbourne.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
And Yeah and It could also vary from Jason Day
I find as well AnyWho edburn May three as part
of the Comedy Festival at the glorious Asta Theater. Good Goodness,
that is on Thursday Friday.
Speaker 12 (36:12):
You'll be fine, it's gonna go off. You're gonna get
a final gig of my Australian Tourist.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
You're going to get Friday tour vibes. I I drive
past the ASTA Theater every day on my way home
from a work and there's a one of those big
video ad screens, so I sit. I quite often sit
at the lights and look at your lovely face and
so look.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
For I don't don't.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Don't take that in a weird storkery way.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
That a voice to the face.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
But lovely to put a voice to the face. See
you on the third of the Asta.

Internet caper, the whole Internet. The Guns n' Roses front
man has just launched his own website, officialaxelose dot com.
Speaker 6 (37:56):

a scrolling photo gallery. But it's Axel's very first website

definition of it
