essentially started AFL trade period officially started in Melbourne at
six am per time. Okay, due to daylight saving now

Definitely not savings. So when you're saying it daylight saving.
Just spoke to Jack Darling's manager, are you what does

(00:59):
It's easy to get confusedly, Oh no, we're not helping
launch the space ill over here.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Jack Darling going to be saving North Melbourne.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yeah, well yeah, yeah, I don't know about that, but anyway,
it's going there for pick sixty seven, So the Eagles
are getting picked sixty four, and now because of all
the deals they do in compensation, it's now sixty seven,
which would never have thought to.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Realized that even went that high. It's that many picks.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Normally they don't pick that many.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Not many in a team.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
So he's getting sixty seven picks in a draft and
you've already got a team.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
What did all these people do?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
It's crazy squad forty five ar or something.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Like that, Yes, it is, so it is a bit strange.
The other thing going on in Melbourne is the AFL
National Combine, which is basically Australia's best teenage footballers men
and women over there getting ahead of the draft being tested,
you know, two k time trial, sprints, jumps, all that
sort of thing. And nice to see Fino Sullivan on
the back of the West today. It's worth the looks.

sense of him. Now let's call him Don on it.
That's a great name. You're idiot. Now I got a couple.
I've got to test for you guys, because I wouldn't
mind you helping me out here. I've been chatting to
the kids at the combine. So they're all over there
the westin boys and girls and they're getting tested and
apparently the recruiters interview them and then they ask them

(03:18):
these bizarre questions. They throw them sort of from left field,
wacky questions to test them out, put them under pressure.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Of their personality.

Answer quickly, there was no prep time along good a
question is done.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Least, what car would you describe yourself as?

Speaker 4 (06:19):
After that question answered Clergy A bit worried here about
what superpower would you have?

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Invisibility? Invisibility, invisibility everyone?

Speaker 4 (06:27):
What about the flash? You want to be at the
flash if you're playing footy, though, wouldn't you got to
be actually superman? Be pretty handy shore buildings? What did
he do? Is super quick? Super quick?

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Good for footy flashes? A rat with a gold tooth.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
You've got to link it back to footy. Leap to
a buildings bound. Here's a good one. What would you
do if you were driving your mate the hospital and
you're in a big Russians an emergency? Would you stop
at red lights or not?

Speaker 3 (06:54):
I wouldn't have been so foolishous not to call an
ambulance to begin with.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
They're the professionals, and you know what they're doing.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Ye, good answer.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
What about well, he's going to miss the whole career
if he's if you're getting the crash of the red lights?

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, I mean I go through red lights at three
o'clock in the morning to get to work, so yes.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
I would. I know they don't have a camera, Yes,
a really good looks at least spell sausage just a
suggestion they at three forty five? Yeah, right, spell sausage.
Backwards option. Yeah, g a s u as you.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Deserve to be picked up on North Medbourn for that
reveal the most illegal thing you've ever done. I think
I'll leave that one alone. And too tough is to finish.
The trolley problem gets presented to the young players. Okay,
so they say, right, it's there's a runaway tram and
two tracks, one with five people on it, one with
just one person. The subject is asked to explain which

(07:51):
track they would send the run runaway train down, questioning
the ethics of sacrificing one person to save five. So
what would you do if there was a runaway train
and it's going.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Down to just over about halfway through that.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
And there's five people on one track and one on
the other, which track would you send it on?

Speaker 7 (08:10):
Well?

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Are you going to save the five? That's the old Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
And then the recruit is the question they throw in
a curve ball. They said, if you could push an old,
old person in front of both tracks, thereby saving all involved,
would you do it?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Hardly have to go through this.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
That's a horrible question to ask anyone under twenty. By
the way, I agree, all right, and least citing elder abuse.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
There's no answer to this. One dog lease dog is
the cat as wheel is too anyway. I just think
our listeners might be able to help help us with
that one is it tire wheel?

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Dog is too cat? Cat you reckon wheel is too?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:54):
It square?

Speaker 4 (08:55):
But anyway, mate, that's the impossible question.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
It's thinking outside the sus.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
I know the answer to that. Moving on to more sport.
NRL Grand Final, Perth entered Perth Penrith Penrith entered rare air.
Four Premierships in a row makes him one of the
greatest teams of all time in Australian sporting history. By
the way, pre match entertainment was fantastic. I thought it's
been confirmed that the try that they said was disallowed
was disallowed and it was correct. We've seen another angle

(09:23):
Channel Seven's got I've seen on the news. So that's
that's all sweet. If you watch the game and the
kid LaRoy and he I thought he was like Australia's Biber.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
That's what he looks like. Do you reckon Australia's Biber?
Cooler than Biba? That is a lot cooler them cool
them Biba.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Anyway he did. It was everywhere he did a lot.
He did a lot of it, and then he finished
with this. I'm not sure he now this. Just have
a listener here the kid of LaRoy.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Okay, good song choice.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
I like that he had to go yeah, he.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Had to go.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
It was a colouragment award.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
No, I mean I like you to go to Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
It was better in the nighttime till I've got to say,
it looks a lot better. I've used up all my time,
so I'm just going to punch through. The Women's Tea
twenty World Cup. Australia off to a flyer. We beat
Sri Lanka in Shahjah, which is in the UAE where
they're being played in a neutral country because Bangladesh is
too dangerous. They can't clain Bangladesh, so they're all playing

(10:43):
in the UAE. Dubai Shahjah. It was forty two degrees
in the audience game, forty two degrees like Beth Money
had an ice back on her head and the turgid
pictures as they say, turgis flat as attack. Australian captain
Alissa Heally I can lay claim to a cruise dismissal.
You know the stunt, Mike, you could hear us say

(11:04):
something to the bat of the Sri Lankan captain and
it went like this, Oh my god, you're boring. Play
a shot, Shamara, and then the girl played a Sean
got out the next ball.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
It was quite one games.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
It was had to be there. Australia could become the
first cricket team in history, men's or women to win
four straight World Cups. So it's a lot at stake.
Wildcats had a bad loss over the weekend, two bad losses,
one at home and then one in Tasmania. And it
was a buzzer beater three pointer to tie the game
to go into overtime in Tasmania, just because we just
hear that.

Speaker 8 (11:37):
Where does Steinyl go? He gets into Doyle? Can Milton
make some magic and conjures all over time from the
super Man.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
So cold, I got goose Bums, I got Goose brom
and the kids and the kids the Cats. The Cat's
lost in overtime. AFLW Eagles and Dockers both lost on
the weekend. Ala Roberts at the Eagles sensational play, incredible
first quarter and there was drama at Freemann level for
Freemann or Hawks players went down, looked like she'd really
hurt her neck and like it was really dramatic twenty

(12:19):
minute break. But she's okay. Her name's Mackenzie Early and
we've checked in on her. I don't think she flew back,
but she is okay. They lost three players to Hawks
and the docors still lost, so they can bounce back.
And the Perth Running Festival, and congratulations to everyone who
went in that fastest growing participation run in Australia. Fourteen
thousand participants and there was like four thousand people trying

(12:44):
to get on the wait list. So this is going
to be a big event, going to be massive. Two
hundred thousand dollars raised for Telethrone. And next year with
the opening of the new Causeway pedestrian and cycle bridge,
you've heard about that, it's going to really open up
things I had heard of.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
That's magnificent. Really, it's almost built. It is inccredible. If
you drive across the causeway you will.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
See it is obviously I go through the tunnel.

were joined at the hip when her career was just
getting started. He used to be one of her backup dancers.
He later graduated to being her show designer and backstage dresser,
and he was the art director for a couple of
her world tours. Richard Simmons is entering the afterlife with

(13:52):

the title of professional car racer to his resume now.
He made his debut in the racing industry on the weekend,
competing in the Toyota gr Cup in Indiana. He did
spin out once during the race, but he made it

(14:34):
over the finish line in twenty fifth place out of
thirty five.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Commendable effort. The bad see pretty much do anything.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Played pickleball or something. He need to do anything. He
is what a human being.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
At least many years ago, probably about thirty odd years ago,
I sport my mum and got a pair of tickets
to go. I think he's a birthday something pair of tickets.
Scouncer Kenny G. Kenny G the saxophonist. I thought he
played trumpeter was and I was informed it was an Alto,
the Alto sax and I knew he played a lot
of smooth kind of tunes. It sounded a little bit

(15:08):
like some of the seventy five million albums he sold.
So there was a treat for mam. Is it the
entertainment Center back in the day the entertainment sold at
the entertainment Center? And I remember going.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Into that when the Dying Young soundtrack came out.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, quite possibly, because it's huge, wasn't it.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yes, Mel Gibson, No, Julia, Julia rob It's okay.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
So so I'm walking into the gig going what the
hell is this guy with the curly hair going to
do with his alto sax for two hours and entertain me?
Oh well, it's about mum. It's about the taking mum
and all the rest of that band and Kenny G
were incredible. It was incredible.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
He is great.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
It's really good entertainer.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
I'm not surprised.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
What was the bonus is that we were sitting up,
you know, about halfway up the entertainment center of the
old Circular Entertainment Center. Kenny G came up into the
crowd and just happened to play right next to mum.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
When I spoke to Sony and organized that, of course
I didn't powersever. But they were incredible, cracking band. Kenny
was great. He was funny, he's been funny guy. And
I was converted. And I thought today would open their
phones in the text line and get people talking about
when they were converted. The gig that just went off
and they weren't expecting much.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Right, have you ever seen a Yanni? No?

Speaker 3 (16:17):
No, have you seen Michael Bolton? That he's probably better
than I wouldn't expect than probably the one that I
went to see The Dixie Chicks oh right, yeah, not
really into country and things. I thought, right, I know,

(16:37):

so much.

Speaker 2 (16:45):

of show.

It was incredible energy. And you know the main one,
the one that's always in the middle, Natalie. She had
her son was playing guitar and on the on the tour,
she brought him out and the two of them did
you know a bit together, And I thought, this is
so cool seeing a mom and son do this, because
I've seen so many dads and sons.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, you're right, yeah, do that kid had some talent.

Speaker 1 (17:12):

see that you didn't expect to enjoy? And you really did?

Speaker 10 (19:26):
Bob Geldoff, Oh right.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
When was that?

Speaker 10 (19:30):
Now he came to pers this was It might have
been when Clarsey was at a at an alternative radio station.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
But did he play the concert hall?

Speaker 10 (19:40):
No, he played at the Octagon and this and this
is w and I won these tickets. I really didn't.
I really honestly didn't know who the guy was. And
so I went along one night. I took my girlfriend
and you know, we were just look, we'll just go
and then we'll just duck out if we don't like
it from Elm. Then he you know, so he starts

(20:03):
singing some I recognize that song. Yeahah oh that's this dude.
Oh yeah yeah yeah, And then he as and I
went on. He started calling out for requests, and you know,
he started, you know, explaining a bit more about what
he's been doing, you know, how he's been functioning in
his life. Towards the end, he suddenly song it had
a French name, and he was basically describing how this

(20:26):
lady in Paris, he wasn't he really wasn't well, he
was really sick, and this lady came alongside him. He
looked like a drowned you know, dog on the street.
So this lady just literally just you know, grabbed him
and you know, encouraged him to follow her home. And

(20:47):
she he was telling he was telling the audience the story.
Now this was a really small audience. It was very intimate,
and he was telling the audience this story. How she
she nursed him, She you know, just rest in, putting
in the bath. There was nothing you know, seedy going on.
It was all completely you know, it was very legit.

(21:09):
And so this lady, you know, she sed him, she
gave him, she put him in the bar, she cleaned him,
aren't you you know, And she just she kept him
for a couple of days and then she let him.
But the strange thing was, as he was describing the story,
he was saying that he couldn't speak a word of French,
so nothing, there was just absolutely no communications language, and

(21:36):
it was it was all about one person taking care
of another person.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
It sounds like.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
It's amazing at him, but it was completely.

Speaker 12 (23:26):
I almost went under those you realize, Yeah, yeah, the
pond is actually rounded at the bottom, had covered in
brown slide.

Speaker 11 (23:35):

Speaker 3 (24:01):
I got a few texts in answer to the question
what did you enjoy way more than you expected to
Jeff and madevel says Queen with Adam Lambert went with
my daughter who hadored Freddy. Adam and Queen did a
magnificent job. Though as long as you can separate the
fact that he's not there for a place.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
No, I'm never getting free.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, he's different, yes, and if you can see it
as a different show, then that's fine.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Bloody good voice to replace a great entertainer.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Yeah, gayl and Allen Brook says, I got free tickets
to see Neil Diamond. Didn't think I'd enjoy it, but wow,
he was amazing and moved me to tears with the emotion.
Then it turned out he was his last performance. So
very privileged to have been there. Talking about things you've
gone to see that you enjoyed way more than you
expected to, Like Danny in Canning Vale going to see

(24:52):
Riverdance back in the day at the Entertainment Center, thinking hmm,
very coro, but he loved.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
It, loved every bit of it.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Arms, right of your arms.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
David Ridgward says, mid you're at the Charles Hotel. Absolutely awesome.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
That'd be great to say MIDI in a pub.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
That would be great, especially when he's doing Vienna.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah real, Julie.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Hime morning, what did you guys say? And you enjoyed
it more than you thought you would.

Speaker 13 (25:16):
To Ocean Telecene in when we lived in Wales and
he went to see him and the card and Cardiff
Students Union.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Sorry, who was you say, jees?

Speaker 13 (25:27):
Ocean Telloscene Ocean Tellousine. Well, I didn't want to go,
but my husband couldn't take my son because he was working,
and we went to the students un and you can
imagine full of stud My son was about twelve. Yeah, yeah,
so we managed to do you soon get to the
front because he was so small, right and well the
band started. I was like, oh, there we go. I

(25:49):
knew you enjorged that the best it was. I think
it was Steve Cragus who was the guitars at the time.
He said it was the youngest wedding. You're and my
son for the hander and he gave him his month
old and are you kidding? Which is which was gay?
We still are. I've got the you know, the that
you bought when we were there in the month organ.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, it's not easy to play the harmonica.

Speaker 13 (26:13):
I know you can play the guitar.

Speaker 9 (26:17):
Couldn't play oh.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Hard, you got to do that circular breathing.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Julie.

Speaker 13 (26:23):
Yeah, it was good night.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Not gonna lie, truth and broadcasting.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
I didn't understand a lot of what Julie said. Look,
but I certainly got the vibe Ocean Kelly. At the
same time, that's all that matters, ocean color vibe. It's
you know, he's seen the castle and he's got a
mouth organ. I can't say it's more more.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Lisa, more podcasts soon.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
And Lisa's how to make it in w An.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
I'll make you a start.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
So continuing our series, sticking with me your staff. The
West is the place right now to be famous and
someone who has got themselves to just that position.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Lake Bovell is a TV and film unit manager.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Hello Lake, I like welcome, Hello, Hi.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
So Lake, what is a unit manager.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
Well, a unit manager is the person that manages the
unit for a film and TV production. And a unit
is so there's all the trucks, like the mini village
that travels alongside set.

Speaker 10 (27:31):
We've got the.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
Costume truck, the hair and makeup truck, the generator Wow
power water, the catering area, the suppliers truck, the green rooms.
All of that is called a unit and that travels
alongside set to service the set. So it's a place
where everyone can rest off, get their food, snacks, et cetera,
et cetera. Yeah, we sort of look after the crew

(27:54):
and cast and yeah, so I take care of all
of that stuff with the team of course, I.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Would say there would be because there's a big responsibility.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
It's quite the wrangling, right, Yes, yeah, it.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Is quite a big footprint. It changes every day where
we are, the locations like the park up, the ground
that we're on, the trees over here. We have to
consider all of this stuff when we choose the location
for the unit, and then the councils that were in
and all of those logistical things. Yeah, that's in my brain.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, yeah, I betcha Yeah, like you said, even changing.
So how did you get into this kind of work?

Speaker 5 (28:32):
I have been doing festivals and events for probably fifteen years,
and I then sort of dipped my toe into the
comedy world and have done a lot of stage managing
and stuff. And a few years ago, Sasha Baron Cohen
was in Perth. I don't know if you guys heard
about that. Yeah, so yeah, he was sent over here

(28:53):
and by his Sydney team and because they couldn't travel
over and they're like, who do we know in Perth
that could deal with this, Let's send him to Like, yeah,
I did some stuff with him. I produced and managed
and coordinated everything for him that was happening in Perth.
And through that we were doing some live stage shows
and we had to do some filming so he could

(29:14):
change costumes between his characters, between Alergy and Bora. And
so I met some film people through that we hired
them to do the little interstitials and then yeah, they
called me up probably four months later and we're like, hey,
COVID's happening and we need someone to be a COVID coordinator.

(29:37):
No one's done this job in Wa before, but we
reckon you could do it. So I was invited in
as a COVID coordinator right. And then my now colleague
Slash mentor Mike Montague, who is the old school unit
manager of Western Australia, it was like, with all your skills,
weren't you in unit? And I was like, what's the unit?

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (30:00):
Then I just I was on the next job with
him and it's my dream job I did not existed,
and I love every second of it.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Well, it sounds like coordinate is the key word, because
it sounds like if you don't have everything coordinated and
ready to go when the cast and so on get there,
the whole thing's going to fall over.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Yeah, we let the glue of the operation really like
obviously as a team that's a production officit and the
first a DS and everyone does scheduling. Everyone's integral to
the operation. It's amazing, how like well oiled the machine is.
So I'm just one little part of it. Yeah. Yeah,
it's sort of like setting up a festival every day

(30:40):
and they're packing down the festival and moving to another
location doing the same thing.

Speaker 9 (30:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:45):
Love communication, coordination. Amazing.

Speaker 7 (30:48):
Yeah, So what would.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
An average workday be like long?

Speaker 6 (30:51):
I guess no, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
We usually if we're moving locations, we'll start maybe three
hours before step on, which is when the costume and
make up people arrive to prepare for the cast. When
they arrive, so we'll drive the trucks to a new location,
set up everything. Very physical work. A lot of planning

(31:16):
goes into it before we actually land at the location.
And then yeah, so get everything ready. Everyone arrives, and
that's sort of when we can sort of take a breath,
and then lunch, breakfast happens, and then lunch and then
everyone goes to set and then lunch and then yeah,
the last sort of three or four hours of the
day filming, and then we start to pat down and

(31:38):
get everything ready to move to the next location. So
the days are often maybe twelve hours.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
We last out parallels with the music industry, you know,
with a whole circus moving from place to place.

Speaker 5 (31:55):
Yep, yeah, exactly. I get a lot of table skills.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
But I'm sure it's just part of the job dealing
with talent. But what about egotistical talent or cast members
that say there's the jacuzi and the trailers, not that
they can't find it.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
What do you do?

Speaker 5 (32:08):
You know, I haven't come across that at all. Right,
in w A's like everyone, we all work together. Usually
there's a few crew members that come in from Sydney
and a lot of actors come from all over Australia.
But in w A the industry is so small and
so nice, like if you're a jerk, you just don't

(32:30):
get hired again. Yeah, it's actually amazing. I haven't ki
across anyone.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
That that in life.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
So the industry is getting bigger though, by the by
the moment.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
What are some of the projects that you've worked on recently.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
I've just come off Scrublands Season two four and now
I'm looking forward to that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it
should be good.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
That isn't you yep.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
Yeah, she is brilliant. Yea. And now we are on
to the twelve season three.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Oh oh yes, that's here as well.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Seems so quick, doesn't you just finished watching the second one?

Speaker 5 (33:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, well it takes six to eight months
to come out. We film, yeah, about the same time.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
You know, like it's it's sort of York really was
the catalyst that got us talking about this and how
w Way is becoming such an attractive place to film
in because York. I think it was Craig Sylvie, you know,
the author of RUDJ. He described it as seamlessly cinematic.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
Oh yeah, it's stunning. Yeah, so yeah, yeah with all
the I guess the season's changing as well. You get
a lot of variety out there, and it's so close
to Perth that yeah, there's just a lot of benefits
for filming regionally close by the Perth.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
You talk about the importance of your job and you
were saying, oh, you used a small part of it,
but you're a bit like you know, I've been working
with directors like Stevie Cruz Martin. I mean, you're so
integral to everything going right, aren't you.

Speaker 5 (34:04):
Yeah. I love Stevie. Yeah, Yeah, it's just, yeah, I
don't know how to describe it. Our job so multifaceted. Yeah,
it's all about communication, really making sure everyone's on the
same page. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
I think the detail the fact that you said, I've
just come off working on Scrublands and now we're onto
the twelve season three speaks to obviously both your value
in the industry as a in charge of the unit,
but also it speaks to just how much is happening here.
What is your advice for anyone who wants to get

(34:36):
into the industry.

Speaker 5 (34:38):
It's keep yourself available out there, talking to people. A
lot of it for you know, but you get to
know the people by doing the study and being in
the right courses and being in the right workshops that
are constantly available. So yeah, it's just talking to people,
really having the passion, looking for your own offic and yeah,

(35:02):
being a nice person.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
That will help you.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
That is advice for lifelike absolutely whatever you're doing.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Like, we now know what a unit manager is, but
we were talking yesterday a lot of filmmaking jargon and
we're running through gathers and dollies and groups, but what
the hell is the best boy?

Speaker 5 (35:17):
Our best boy is old language to I see.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Right, Yeah, I best credits anymore.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
Yeah, it's getting phase down.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
That doesn't it too. I see well. Lake, give my
love to Sam Neil.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
That's going to work for.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
You, And thanks so much for joining us to talk
about what you do and how you got into it.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Thank you, you too, Crazy and Lisa
