On today’s show, Clairsy was not happy that his favourite bakery was randomly closed. The show’s producer Suzy joined the guys to talk about taxis in Perth not doing the right thing. Clairsy’s Tragic Music Box was back, and the year was 1988. Speaking of Clairsy, a recent visit from his Dad saw the guys open the text and phone lines to ask, ‘Have you kept a promise years later?’. Ben O’Shea phoned in from a traffic standstill to chat about Jurassic Park Rebirth, a film full of GMO dinosaurs and no memorable moments. The Shaw Report had the latest on the Diddy trial, Squid Games has reached a new record, and The Bear season four finale gets a mention. Lisa always has the goss.

Our Adviting My Arm radio app from ninety six airfam
to whenever You're listening today, This is Cleresian Leas's podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Stiming up on the podcast we took calls on keeping Promises.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Benochet review Jurassic World Rebirth.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
A verdict is in for the Shaun Diddy Kombstra.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
The state government is going to crack down on dodgy
cabbies and.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Claresy opened his Tragic music Box to the year nineteen
eighty eight, so an undercover blitz some Perth taxi drivers
as planned after complaints, a growing number of drivers are
not properly using their meetus. This has not happened to
me as it happened to you.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It hasn't happened to be any well normally in an.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Uber Transport Minister at Rita Safiotti has revealed that even
she has been stung and warned drivers that you can't
set your own fares. That's not the way it works.
It hasn't happened to your eye, but it's happened to
Susie Suzi. Producer you, when did this happen to you?
Tell us what happened.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
This actually happened after our Christmas party in December. I
had a broken foot at the time, and I was
I need to go home, and we were in Mount
Lawley for our party, and everyone has their Christmas parties
around the same time, so it was super busy and
usually I'd get an uber, but they were fully booked,
so there was a taxi right there and I was like,
you know what, I'm just going to get in. I
(01:14):
live in yo, kind, Mount Lawly, Yo kind. I was like, no, no,
problems could surely happen. Halfway down Walcott Street, I realized
the meter's not on and I pointed it out and
he got very aggressive with me and made up all
these excuses that he was off the clock and trying
to do some extra money and stuff that. Yeah, and
he told me I know what the price is, and
(01:35):
I'm like, well, no, you should.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
So I argued with him.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
We got the meter running, and then he stopped me
on my street and tried to charge me more than
what was on the meter, so what he had originally quoted,
which was more, and we had an argument about that.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
With your moon boot.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Almost and then in the end he he refunded me
some money because he had at first charged me more.
And now I took a photo of his license and
the what was on the meet up, so I had
a comparison to what I was charged. And then I
got out and he was abusing me and drove off,
(02:18):
and I took a photo of the license plate number.
He stopped, got out of the car and came towards me,
and I was like, I'm not going to be able
to run away very fast from this guy because I
have a broken foot. And yeah, we got into a
heated argument on the street, and he was very worried
about me reporting him, and I was like, well, don't
do dodgy.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, and you don't have to be.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Reported exactly, But that vulnerability of not just being a
woman in the car with a busted foot, but the
fact that you can't see what the met is doing
can make up any number.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
And if it.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Happened to me, he knows what it costs. But that's
not who I don't know. That's the met. I think
the meter is for us to know what's going on.
A Rita Sophioti says a taxi driver must set the
meat in operation at the start of the journey and
stop it at the end of the journey. Well, yeah,
that's how a taxi works. And she's asked her people
to undertake a compliance blitz. They're doing a mystery shopper stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Can I do that mystery passage?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Know?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I reckon I'd be a good mystery with some dark sun. Yes,
a little undercome of work. So yeah, undercover transport officials
will use taxis to make sure that everything's being done right.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, okay, well you survived, you did, and it has
happened to read her as well.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Wrong. But John and Como's called hello John.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
John, welcome guys.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
How you go on?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
You're a driver, aren't you?
Speaker 8 (03:37):
Yes? But my thoughts on this, uh the paker pullets
for them to do something, because this privation has been
going on for decades.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Yeah was here.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
Yeah, drivers have been uh manipulating fairs and all sorts
of stuff. And I had an issue or that long
ago where I needed to catch a camp because it
was more convenient to go from the city to come mate.
So this guy decides we're on the we get on
the freeway and then he decides he's going to go
down Riverside Drive and go through the city to go
(04:15):
out to Coma. And I'm thinking, what, no, that's not
yeah yeah. And when I told him, no, you're going
the wrong way, he got really stroppy. Wow, you really
really stroppy with me. And in the end he did
go up the freeway because I insisted, but he was
(04:37):
He's told me, actually told me, I'm the driver, don't
tell me how to drive.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
He was trying to fudge another ten bucks.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I've had very good, lucky drivers. They usually asked me
which way I want to die?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, yeah, well I'll do that.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
I mean people tell me sometimes I don't go the
way Google that's saying going this way. And I said, okay,
you're fine. I might think it's longer, but you know,
you're playing. If you want to go that way, you
go that way.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
And John, the lassie you want is a stroppy driver
when they're taking your home.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Now, that's very uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Good thanks John, Thanks for you. It's a wisdom.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Paul and jundle Up has called Paul, what's your experience
with this situation the morning?
Speaker 7 (05:19):
How are you you know when you go a single
like you don't have someone there that can run you
for a wheel alignment or something you can't do yourself,
like tires. Than that, I've got a taxi to where
I go, and then I said, well, I've got to
go back and kick it up, and I don't know
what time, and he goes. He gave me his card.
He actually had a like a taxi business card, and
(05:42):
he says, I'll just ring us up and I'll I'll
come and get you. And he says, as long as
it's not like you've got to be there that second.
And anyway, he's left the meter off like Susie said,
but he's nothing like him, and he's done a cheaper
because I know it's thirty bucks to get there, and
he did it for twenty.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
That's all right, A good experience.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Yeah, And more than once I've said to him, well
I sort of need someone now, and he goes, as
long as you don't need me there in ten fifteen minutes,
now I can fit in. And so I've kept the
car and I get lifts everywhere. And I remember ringing
in one Saturday I had because they'll do a wheel
lignment on Saturday where I go and he says, well,
(06:24):
I'm not in the taxi, but I can still do it,
so yeah, no worries. And he actually had his mum
and he was taking his mum shopping, so I met
her as well. I was pretty cool people.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, you're a very own parker in Thunderbird.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
It's more like a mate.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I'm off on the way and he's.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Dropped the price down. He's getting guaranteed regular work. Okay, yeah, well.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
Just whenever you need it. It's not that regular that
you get car stuff done. But I thought it was awesome,
and then I heard Susie's story. It's completely different.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It wasn't good.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
It's good to remer that there are also.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Really good.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
At least it was a bit of light with a
shade like that. Mum was in the cart her.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh my god, I have a chat with your cab
driver that wants to be his best mate. And they've
got to drop mum off on the way.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
And mum's in the car for a chat. I wonder
if she baked.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
The sure report on ninety six.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Airm Sean Diddy Coombs has been denied bail after being
found guilty on two of the five charges against him.
After the verdict was read, emotions around high inside and
outside of the New York courtroom. Inside the courtroom, Coombs
fell to his knees to pray and also appeared to
say thank you to the jurors. Outside the court, some
Diddy fans went a little overboard by dousing themselves with
(07:55):
baby oil. One of the key pieces of course of
evidence against Kom was the copious amount of baby oil
he reportedly used during his infamous parties. Kanye West has
officially been banned from coming to Australia. His tourist visa
has been canceled in the wake of an anti Semitic
song that referenced to Adolf Hitler. The song's called Hull Hitler.
(08:17):
He's actually since changed the name to Hallelujah. It's no
Leonard Cohen, believe me anyway. The decision means that he
will be prohibited from entering the country with his Australian
born wife, Bianca Censori, who is from Melbourne. It's cold
in Melbourne, Bianca, You're going.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
To have to put something on love outstanding there.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Janya had recently sought and obtained a tourist visa that
could remain valid for up to twelve months, but that
has now been canceled. Squid Game season three is the
number one show on Netflix right now. More specifically, it's
the number one show in absolutely every country it's on in.
That's another record for the already record breaking show, the
first to be number one in all ninety three countries
(08:55):
where Netflix is available in its premiere week. The final
episode of The Bears fourth season is titled Goodbye, but
Don't worry it isn't. Season four is barely underway, but
we do have confirmation it's been renewed for season five. Meantime,
I can't wait to see Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen.
That movie Deliver Me from Nowhere will be out in
(09:17):
OCTOBERA loved what we saw last week in the first
little Sneaky Peaky, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Really great. And every time I watch The Bear, I'm
going to see Bruce. After saying, Lisa, you and I
like to have a bit of bakery chat every now
and then we find new cafes and bakery.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I park a baked good.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Do like a bake good, and sometimes we talk about
our experiences or probably eat more than you and then
we celebrate and take.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That probably out if I was here.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, so you can imagine what this here creature of
habit you know me? Well, yeah, eating a regular basis
and I have a favorite bakery that I drop into
you and get a coffee next door. But I'll go
to this bakery on Stirling Highway almost every day after work,
every day as I'm heading home, well probably at least
four five, sometimes three, sometimes six. Creature of Habit rocks up,
(10:06):
but the big smile on his face walks into the
shopping center where my favorite bakery is on Stelling Highway
and it's shut.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
The bakery shut for good.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
It looked shut for good, like closed up, not going. No,
not a person in sight, lights off, looked like the
equipment was all back up.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
No gone, no not no note on the door, no nothing, nothing.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
And I'm going, what's going to happen to the creature
of habit. I was out of my comfort zone. I
was like, what am I going to do?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
My God?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
So I go into the cafe. We're next door, we're
just down the raid.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
They might have some intel.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
He had intel, he said, I said, the coffee shop.
You're in the coffee I said, the bakery. And he goes.
It's okay because because he knows me, right, he goes
and he knows what's going on. Because a lot more
people have been buying goods from his from his cap
and he goes.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
He probably got his goods from the bakery.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, probably, he goes, because I get a scone there, right,
it's just a two dollars scone. They see me and
they get the scorn out because I know I'm so
boring I won't get anything different. So they're not there.
He says, two dollars go on.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
And the other day you paid four dollars fifty for a.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
No, I didn't buy one of those. I just told
you I saw it on the venue.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
So I'm still dealing with back back to the scon.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
So they don't have pinal for fret is there anyway?
So he said to me, he sees me look on
my face. He goes, it's okay. They've gone home to
Vietnam for two weeks. They'll be back so packed up,
but not gone altogether. Because yeah, because I had that
look in my eyes like I was lost.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Did he have scon?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I think I got a fudge or somewhere, Brownie.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Brownieu didn't you? That's my okay, you couldn't. It just
came out.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I've been sprung. So I'm going to say they're back, Hellelujah.
And I went scondless for fourteen days.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Really?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah, did you notice me grumpy around the building?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah, well I must have hiden it.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, not like you didn't without slices and things.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
You hadn't more sugar by having two at the other place.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
More clezy, more podcast soon, Great the flick with Beno.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Good morning, beno'che, how are you?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Good morning? I wasn't I wasn't caught by a velociraptor.
What's caught by some pretty insane traffic out there?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, that's pretty pretty hectic.
Speaker 9 (12:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Now when you think of when you think of the
original Jurassic Park movie in nineteen ninety three by Steven Spielberg,
I bet you can easily bring to mind so many
iconic moments, absolutely no doubt.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Welcome to Jurassic Part Yeah. That many movies. I've only
seen the one.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Just the first, just the first.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Well, I think I think anybody will remember. You know,
you've got You've got the great, the late great Richard Attenborough.
You know, no bed the you know, life finds away,
the Tyrannosaurus Rex eating that bloke while we sitting on
the toilet, human.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Was with his.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Eggs or whatever they were, DNA hidden in the shaving
foam can and then and then he like he was
scrabbling around in the mud, and the dinosaur with the
frill neck lizards spats there's acid in his face. So
many iconic moments, But I would challenge anybody to come
up with a single thing that they can remember from
(13:28):
the five films that came afterwards.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
No, because I haven't seen the other night.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. So the most recently there's
been three Jurassic World movies starring Chris Pratt, Chris Pratt
and Bryce Dallis Howard, and they had not been particularly good,
but they've made a ton of money at the box office,
Like we're talking a billion dollars each. They're super, super successful.
The franchise in total has made you know, well upwards
(13:57):
of ten billion dollars across the sixth film, and so,
no surprise, they wanted to make another one. This one,
Jurassic World Rebirth, is a standalone sequel, so technically it's
part of the same universe as the previous three Jurassic
World movies. It happens five years after the events of
Jurassic World Dominion, but there's nothing else in common. There
(14:19):
are no characters in common, none of the actors, the dinosaurs,
the dinosaur characters, there's some of those that maybe have returned,
of course, the t Rex. And it's directed by Gareth Edwards, who,
for people who are familiar with his work, gave us
a rogue one which is, you know, one of the
best Star Wars movies ever. He gave us the creator
(14:41):
and he also did a Godzilla movie in I think
twenty fourteen something like that, And so he's got he's
got a very interesting aesthetic, this British filmmaker, and the
film looks amazing. He shot it on thirty five millimeter
film using the same lenses that Steven Spielberg did in
the nineteen ninety three film, So you've got it looks
like a classic kind of nineties action movie, which is nice.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I like that bit of it.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
And you've got Scarlett Johanson, who's obviously a megastar, as
this covert operative who along with Mahashala, a l two
time Oscar winner, are hired by this big farmer company
to go to this deserted island that used to be
a research facility and they need to take DNA samples
(15:27):
from the largest dinosaurs that have ever lived, because that
might hold the secret to curing incurable diseases. Right, so,
you know, pretty noble pursuit. They've got to get a
DNA from a mosasaur, which is an aquatic dinosaur that was,
you know, like weigh twenty tons, a titanosaur, which is
a huge, like a Brontosaurus style dinosaur that was one
(15:48):
of the largest things that've ever worked walked the earth.
And a quetzal coatless, which is pretty hard to say,
a big like flying dinosaur that had a wingspan as
big as a bus. So these are all pretty challenge
things to do. And if that wasn't hard enough, there's
also a civilian family that were on randomly on a
yacht trip through dinosaur infested waters and get marooned on
(16:10):
this island as well, so the soldiers have to kind
of try and protect them as well. And then because
this is a research facility, they've got genetically engineered dinosaurs
and right, and that's and that's that's kind of a
weird thing, right, Like the movie kind of assumes that
the audiences are so bored of dinosaurs that we need
(16:30):
we need these freak mutant dinosaurs to kind of ramp
up the excitement, and you know, so that's it's like,
you know, it jumped over the shark, which is a
prehistoric animid. But I guess the thing is, because we
everyone loves dinosaurs, it's kind of not really okay to
kill dinosaurs anymore. Maybe once upon a time, but even
(16:52):
a velociraptor or a t rex, like if you have
got military guys with you know, m sixties, having them
shoot dinosaurs is just not a good viar. But when
you have genetically engineered freaks, you don't feel any sympathy
towards them, so you can kill those dinosaurs. And so,
you know, it's kind of one of those those decisions
the studio is made to kind of make it a
bit more exciting. Look, I mentioned that none of the
(17:15):
other previous five Jurassic Park movies had anything memorable in them.
This is now the next one that doesn't have anything
memorable in it. I could not, I could not honestly
quote one line of dialogue. There's a lot you do,
you think, No, Like it's when when they when?
Speaker 6 (17:37):
When they? When they?
Speaker 5 (17:40):
When they One of the one of the civilians sees
one of these mutant dinosaurs, like the actual line of
dialogue is they're mutant as really, that's it.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, you'll take them out to like there from the
stereod Olympics.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
So the big question is how many no dinosaurs were
hurt in the making of this movie?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Are you giving it.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Two and a half? It's a pretty pretty mindless it's
a pretty mindless blockbuster. But you know, like this will
still make a ton of money because people love dinosaurs,
and the dinosaurs they're probably more believable than the humans
in the film.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
So scarletteel still Scarlett still get the big payday. So
thank you, absolutely thanks Bank Shade Talking Movies. So when
are we going.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Delving deep into the malarchives of Earth music history? Crazy
tragic music box.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Whacker whacker the year as I mentioned as nineteen eighty eight,
that thing I will complain to your tribe in if
you're like I wanted to be by ring time, all right,
we can organize that. We'll organize it. I've also organized
something else for you because it was nineteen eighty eight
and it was the year of Australia's by centennial celebrations,
and this.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Is for you.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Celebration, celebration of a nation just making great in eighty
eight jas History. Yeah, it was pretty bad. More you're
clapping along, And when I saw the video of that song,
which is Rick Price before he was Rick Prized, before
he's famous. And the girl Karen Karen Minchell apparently she
(19:27):
was in Euphoria the dance band later on, but this
is before they became famous.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
When they took them out of it on the news readers, so.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Funny that it's going to die. It was God and
you in the crowd. There was Bill Peach and there
was other thing that was all John. John Yucan was
there and I think Paul Crone and them, Oh God,
that's funny. You wouldn't do it now. You wouldn't do
the celebration of a nation thing. But there's a lot
of noise and color for the Bison Tenna. It was
a big to the toy shop in eighty eight. The
(19:54):
Atari twenty six hundred console was the hot item for
late eighties gamers. Stick the game prong the way. Yeah,
you used to pick the game cartridge in and you play,
and you could play pac Man Combat, Space Invaders and
the Love a Game of Spaces and Demon Attack was
a big one as well. I love Space I'll find
you a cartridge. Yeah, I know. It moved on from Tennis,
(20:15):
hadn't it. The party Pink Barbie was huge. Magna Doodle,
which sounds odd, was the fresh, the sorry, the free
of mess magnetic game of art. You know, like they
get the drawing and stuff like that and then you
just get the bit of plastic.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
And it was.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
The board was clear and when we're yeah, we could
have many many times and Young Doodle to draw people's
labradod Yeah exactly, yeah, nice And the Young Talent team
from Young Talent Time had a board game, right, including
a cassette. Yeah, and it was. It was one of
the biggest sellers. Early eight had a cassette pre recorded
by Johnny Young and the Young Talent Time kids and
(20:53):
I had to play this for you least close and nothing. Yeah,
that's r game over. Thanks John Legend.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You don't have Johnny Bowls.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Did it even happen Johnny Bowles Little Tiny Tina Arena.
Lots of change happened in Perth in nineteen eighty eight.
It was the year that Channel ten went to air here. Yes,
we're having three commercial channels. The upgrade to forest place,
another upgrade in the city was completed. Murray Street wasn't
yet a mall, but you could park your car at
the Alexander Library building in Northbridge and take the new
what they called the footpath freeway over the rooftops and
(21:28):
Wellington Street to the city to go shopping over the rooftops,
over the rooftops. That the footpath freeway pretty flashing a
not so flash. Prisoners rioted at freeo j Or, setting
it on fire and taking five waters hostage.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I knew one of those waters, Oh did you?
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Hard to believe that freeo Jail was opened until nineteen
ninety one. Hard to believe so bizarre. Nineteen eighty eight
saw the Olympic Games held in Sea. We're talking sool
South Korea. The Aussies only one where only won three
gold medals that year. Duncan Armstrong have a long way,
haven't we? How many are we going to? Dunkn Armstrong?
Which is a great name for a swimmer, isn't it
someone Armstrong? He won the two hundred free style, the
(22:08):
four hundred meter hurdler. Debbie flint Off King, Yes, famous
name of Australian athletics and the hockey Ruse. Now our
women now there's a team that deserves a statue. Let's
be honest. They beat South Korea, the host nation, to
nil and that started a twelve year run that included
three gold medals for our championship World. Weren't they incredible?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Every gold medal we won back in those days was
like just thirty central. Now people get angry if the
swimmers don't win.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Me go yeah, well, yeah, we had a couple of Olympics.
London was like that. In nineteen eighty eight we moaned
about paying sixty cents a leader for petrol after their
recent prost roses. Isn't that funny? And if you're busy
working nine to five, you'd have to pick up the
West Australian or the Daily News newspapers and look for
the petrol rosters so you could fill up and then
maybe driving miles from home to the airport. Yeah, hard
to believe, Lisa. In nineteen eighty eight, we hadn't yet met. No, Nelly,
(22:57):
I knew of you because you worked You and I
work for the same network. Yes, right, So I was
at SAFM and Adelaide and you're at the Eagle, the
newly launched station here at home. Yes, and I also
had my I'm heading Home to Perthsame, Where's the brunette
radar was switched on? Already sounds sleazy, but it wasn't.
We became mates in music. The biggest albums in Australia
were in excess as Kick Yep, Dirty Dancing Soundtrack, Freight
(23:20):
Train Heart from Jimmy Barnes. After we moved on to Chisel.
Rick Cassley's Whenever You Need Somebody was a big album
that year. We first got Yeah, the Lonesome gew Belief
fro John Mellencamp before he got too grumpy and Ice
House Man of Colours had so many hits out of
the Tragic Music Box from nineteen eighty eight here at
ninety six Airfare.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
More Crazy, More podcast Soon.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'm going to say that twenty seven years ago. This
is my story this morning. It's twenty seven years ago.
I flew to Brisbane to go to my dad's sixtieth
birthday party. Yes, Fridge and so Yeah Big had a
grapig party. There is placed in Polara in Brize now.
On the night I gave him a letter. I wrote
him a letter for his sixtieth birthday, and I've wrote
(24:03):
some mushy stuff in and all the rest of it.
And at the end of the letter, I said, oh,
by the way, I want you to hold this promise
that when I tuned sixty, you're going to be at
my party. Yeah, you're going to come over and or
be with me. Yeah, And thinking at the time I
wrote it, as you come to mind, man, he's going
to be eighty seven. Bloody hell, there you go. So
here we are, twenty seven, twenty seven years on. Yeah,
(24:25):
I guess he's in town this week. Despite the health
issues at eighty seven year olds have, or many of
us have, and all the rest of it. He and
his wife Judy got on a plane. They're here to
have dinner with Lori and I on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I've gone on.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
How good is that help? He said? He said to
me at the time, you're on, and he was on here, Yeah,
he's here.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
His promise Really cool.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I thought, that's so cool.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Seven years late, twenty.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Seven year promise and he was good for it, which
is pretty damn cool. So I thought we'd open the
text and the phone lines today and tell us when
you or someone you know has kept that promise. Might
be a long long.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Time waiting you're looking at me like, well, you know
that saying don't promise anything. You don't make promises you can't.
I must have taken that very but I will tell
you this, this is talking about this has reminded me
of one of my favorite ever movies with Kerry Grant
in it. Do you remember the movie? And a fair
to remember they dated in nineteen fifty seven, but it
(25:23):
was what would have been one of those Sunday afternoon
jobs that I used to love watching, and he and
Deborah Kerr play to these you know, sort of star
cross lovers that never get together, but they agree to
meet at the top of the Empire State Building, if
you know, six months after they meet on the cruise,
if they still feel the same way about each other
(25:45):
and if nothing else is going on, right, it's a
bit Tom Hanks Now, I love it quite and anyways
about what happens when one of them goes up there
and looks like one of them didn't. It's a wonderful,
wonderful film. So that's a fear to remember, affair to remember.
So that's a little bit like that, did you keep
a promise that wasn't years later but it was months later?
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Months later, and the aspect of love as.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Well, Johnny Nangara, have you kept a promise years later? Yeah,
so I did what happened.
Speaker 10 (26:14):
John st Well, many years ago I lived in a
country town and a lady ran the local pub, and
she was quite a character full of jokes, you know.
She was the queen of jokes. Very she was a
colorful taste in humor. And I used to come down
when I was a student, come down back to my
(26:35):
hometown and we'd go to the pub and I'd bring
all the local jokes from Perth down there, and a
couple of them. She really liked them, one in particular.
And anyway, she said, when I passed away, I want
you to be the celibrant at my funeral, the MC
at my funeral. Now, I didn't think much of it. Anyway,
I got married and we lived in this I went
(26:57):
back to the same town. We lived there for about
twenty five years, and then after that, when our kids
grew up, we moved to the city. We used to
go back there occasionally and bump into each other and
the jokes would start flying again. If you kept saying,
remember you've got to be the MC at my funeral. Anyway,
I hadn't seen it for about ten or twelve years,
and she got really ill and on her deathbed, apparently
(27:20):
she said to her husband, you make sure John is
the MC at my funeral.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:26):
So a couple of months back, I had to fulfill
the promise.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Well done, John, John.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
And it's not my being a celebraty is not my Yeah, that's.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Easy rules, that's what she wants, that's what she wanted.
Speaker 10 (27:44):
Yeah, And there was one joke I had to tell
but I can't repeat it.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
To say, I've got the button ready. Thanks John.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Lou In Ballsbrook. Where did you keep a promise? Of
years later?
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Good morning? It was actually my wife. I was here
in the Marine Corps and I have to marry me.
She said, you have to live on ship. We'll do
this correctly next time we get together, I promise. Twenty
six years later, we connected on Facebook and I came
here and we got married.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Hey that's a Dixie Chicks song.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah, full circle.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
Yeah, there's a lot more behind it.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
She came to the state for two years and was
homesick and want to come here. And I came back
to my two youngest sons. And it's absolutely one of
the most beautiful plays I've ever been how it are?
Speaker 3 (28:38):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yes, lovely story low, thank good day, guys. That's not
unlike Paul and Bolldivers, who on the text said, back
on the eighth of April nineteen eighty six, I promised
my wife I would love her forever. Here we are
still together and still madly and love love it ma.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Noticely I love her to come out of the woodwork.
When we mentioned keeping promises, yeah, I like that. That's
got to count up. Can I callen Hello? How you're
going to go?
Speaker 6 (29:06):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Good bye? What have you got the kept promise department?
Speaker 9 (29:09):
When I was about sixteen, which is a long time ago,
I had this ten pal in South Africa and we
used to talk all the time, she know, and she
said to me, I want you to come and visit
me one day, you know, I promise me. And I yeah, yeah, yeah,
sure I will. Yeah, of course it well one day,
and I'm thinking as if I'm going to do that.
And then when I was about twenty one, you know,
email and back and forth of work and coming visit
me one day. Yeah, I promise you, I will, I will. Anyway,
(29:30):
she worked on me and worked me when I was
about twenty three. One day at work, the hell of
a day, and she sent me this email saying, hey, look,
you know, how's it going. Why don't you come visit?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
And I thought, I'm going to do it. I'm going
to buck to do it.
Speaker 9 (29:39):
So I did. I flew to South Africa, flew to
joe Berg and then off to Durban and she and
a friend met me at the airport and it was
the freaking weirdest random experience in my life. But yes, cool,
it was a really good experience. And yeah, so that
fits the building.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
You go, yeah, but you did it, but you didn't
think you would at the time when you kept saying.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yeah, yeah, until all of a sudden it sounded like
the best idea of I heard in my life. I'm
having a crap tie. I'm going to Tiburg.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Thanks Callen, thank you, thanks for sharing that one though.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Crazy and Lisa
Our Adviting My Arm radio app from ninety six airfam
to whenever You're listening today, This is Cleresian Leas's podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Stiming up on the podcast we took calls on keeping Promises.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Benochet review Jurassic World Rebirth.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
A verdict is in for the Shaun Diddy Kombstra.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
The state government is going to crack down on dodgy
cabbies and.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Claresy opened his Tragic music Box to the year nineteen
eighty eight, so an undercover blitz some Perth taxi drivers
as planned after complaints, a growing number of drivers are
not properly using their meetus. This has not happened to
me as it happened to you.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It hasn't happened to be any well normally in an.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Uber Transport Minister at Rita Safiotti has revealed that even
she has been stung and warned drivers that you can't
set your own fares. That's not the way it works.
It hasn't happened to your eye, but it's happened to
Susie Suzi. Producer you, when did this happen to you?
Tell us what happened.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
This actually happened after our Christmas party in December. I
had a broken foot at the time, and I was
I need to go home, and we were in Mount
Lawley for our party, and everyone has their Christmas parties
around the same time, so it was super busy and
usually I'd get an uber, but they were fully booked,
so there was a taxi right there and I was like,
you know what, I'm just going to get in. I
(01:14):
live in yo, kind, Mount Lawly, Yo kind. I was like, no, no,
problems could surely happen. Halfway down Walcott Street, I realized
the meter's not on and I pointed it out and
he got very aggressive with me and made up all
these excuses that he was off the clock and trying
to do some extra money and stuff that. Yeah, and
he told me I know what the price is, and
(01:35):
I'm like, well, no, you should.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
So I argued with him.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
We got the meter running, and then he stopped me
on my street and tried to charge me more than
what was on the meter, so what he had originally quoted,
which was more, and we had an argument about that.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
With your moon boot.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Almost and then in the end he he refunded me
some money because he had at first charged me more.
And now I took a photo of his license and
the what was on the meet up, so I had
a comparison to what I was charged. And then I
got out and he was abusing me and drove off,
(02:18):
and I took a photo of the license plate number.
He stopped, got out of the car and came towards me,
and I was like, I'm not going to be able
to run away very fast from this guy because I
have a broken foot. And yeah, we got into a
heated argument on the street, and he was very worried
about me reporting him, and I was like, well, don't
do dodgy.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, and you don't have to be.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Reported exactly, But that vulnerability of not just being a
woman in the car with a busted foot, but the
fact that you can't see what the met is doing
can make up any number.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
And if it.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Happened to me, he knows what it costs. But that's
not who I don't know. That's the met. I think
the meter is for us to know what's going on.
A Rita Sophioti says a taxi driver must set the
meat in operation at the start of the journey and
stop it at the end of the journey. Well, yeah,
that's how a taxi works. And she's asked her people
to undertake a compliance blitz. They're doing a mystery shopper stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Can I do that mystery passage?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Know?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I reckon I'd be a good mystery with some dark sun. Yes,
a little undercome of work. So yeah, undercover transport officials
will use taxis to make sure that everything's being done right.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, okay, well you survived, you did, and it has
happened to read her as well.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Wrong. But John and Como's called hello John.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
John, welcome guys.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
How you go on?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
You're a driver, aren't you?
Speaker 8 (03:37):
Yes? But my thoughts on this, uh the paker pullets
for them to do something, because this privation has been
going on for decades.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Yeah was here.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
Yeah, drivers have been uh manipulating fairs and all sorts
of stuff. And I had an issue or that long
ago where I needed to catch a camp because it
was more convenient to go from the city to come mate.
So this guy decides we're on the we get on
the freeway and then he decides he's going to go
down Riverside Drive and go through the city to go
(04:15):
out to Coma. And I'm thinking, what, no, that's not
yeah yeah. And when I told him, no, you're going
the wrong way, he got really stroppy. Wow, you really
really stroppy with me. And in the end he did
go up the freeway because I insisted, but he was
(04:37):
He's told me, actually told me, I'm the driver, don't
tell me how to drive.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
He was trying to fudge another ten bucks.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I've had very good, lucky drivers. They usually asked me
which way I want to die?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, yeah, well I'll do that.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
I mean people tell me sometimes I don't go the
way Google that's saying going this way. And I said, okay,
you're fine. I might think it's longer, but you know,
you're playing. If you want to go that way, you
go that way.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
And John, the lassie you want is a stroppy driver
when they're taking your home.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Now, that's very uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Good thanks John, Thanks for you. It's a wisdom.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Paul and jundle Up has called Paul, what's your experience
with this situation the morning?
Speaker 7 (05:19):
How are you you know when you go a single
like you don't have someone there that can run you
for a wheel alignment or something you can't do yourself,
like tires. Than that, I've got a taxi to where
I go, and then I said, well, I've got to
go back and kick it up, and I don't know
what time, and he goes. He gave me his card.
He actually had a like a taxi business card, and
(05:42):
he says, I'll just ring us up and I'll I'll
come and get you. And he says, as long as
it's not like you've got to be there that second.
And anyway, he's left the meter off like Susie said,
but he's nothing like him, and he's done a cheaper
because I know it's thirty bucks to get there, and
he did it for twenty.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
That's all right, A good experience.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Yeah, And more than once I've said to him, well
I sort of need someone now, and he goes, as
long as you don't need me there in ten fifteen minutes,
now I can fit in. And so I've kept the
car and I get lifts everywhere. And I remember ringing
in one Saturday I had because they'll do a wheel
lignment on Saturday where I go and he says, well,
(06:24):
I'm not in the taxi, but I can still do it,
so yeah, no worries. And he actually had his mum
and he was taking his mum shopping, so I met
her as well. I was pretty cool people.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, you're a very own parker in Thunderbird.
Speaker 9 (06:39):
It's more like a mate.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I'm off on the way and he's.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Dropped the price down. He's getting guaranteed regular work. Okay, yeah, well.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
Just whenever you need it. It's not that regular that
you get car stuff done. But I thought it was awesome,
and then I heard Susie's story. It's completely different.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It wasn't good.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
It's good to remer that there are also.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Really good.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
At least it was a bit of light with a
shade like that. Mum was in the cart her.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh my god, I have a chat with your cab
driver that wants to be his best mate. And they've
got to drop mum off on the way.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
And mum's in the car for a chat. I wonder
if she baked.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
The sure report on ninety six.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Airm Sean Diddy Coombs has been denied bail after being
found guilty on two of the five charges against him.
After the verdict was read, emotions around high inside and
outside of the New York courtroom. Inside the courtroom, Coombs
fell to his knees to pray and also appeared to
say thank you to the jurors. Outside the court, some
Diddy fans went a little overboard by dousing themselves with
(07:55):
baby oil. One of the key pieces of course of
evidence against Kom was the copious amount of baby oil
he reportedly used during his infamous parties. Kanye West has
officially been banned from coming to Australia. His tourist visa
has been canceled in the wake of an anti Semitic
song that referenced to Adolf Hitler. The song's called Hull Hitler.
(08:17):
He's actually since changed the name to Hallelujah. It's no
Leonard Cohen, believe me anyway. The decision means that he
will be prohibited from entering the country with his Australian
born wife, Bianca Censori, who is from Melbourne. It's cold
in Melbourne, Bianca, You're going.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
To have to put something on love outstanding there.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Janya had recently sought and obtained a tourist visa that
could remain valid for up to twelve months, but that
has now been canceled. Squid Game season three is the
number one show on Netflix right now. More specifically, it's
the number one show in absolutely every country it's on in.
That's another record for the already record breaking show, the
first to be number one in all ninety three countries
(08:55):
where Netflix is available in its premiere week. The final
episode of The Bears fourth season is titled Goodbye, but
Don't worry it isn't. Season four is barely underway, but
we do have confirmation it's been renewed for season five. Meantime,
I can't wait to see Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen.
That movie Deliver Me from Nowhere will be out in
(09:17):
OCTOBERA loved what we saw last week in the first
little Sneaky Peaky, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Really great. And every time I watch The Bear, I'm
going to see Bruce. After saying, Lisa, you and I
like to have a bit of bakery chat every now
and then we find new cafes and bakery.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I park a baked good.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Do like a bake good, and sometimes we talk about
our experiences or probably eat more than you and then
we celebrate and take.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That probably out if I was here.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, so you can imagine what this here creature of
habit you know me? Well, yeah, eating a regular basis
and I have a favorite bakery that I drop into
you and get a coffee next door. But I'll go
to this bakery on Stirling Highway almost every day after work,
every day as I'm heading home, well probably at least
four five, sometimes three, sometimes six. Creature of Habit rocks up,
(10:06):
but the big smile on his face walks into the
shopping center where my favorite bakery is on Stelling Highway
and it's shut.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
The bakery shut for good.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
It looked shut for good, like closed up, not going. No,
not a person in sight, lights off, looked like the
equipment was all back up.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
No gone, no not no note on the door, no nothing, nothing.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
And I'm going, what's going to happen to the creature
of habit. I was out of my comfort zone. I
was like, what am I going to do?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
My God?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
So I go into the cafe. We're next door, we're
just down the raid.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
They might have some intel.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
He had intel, he said, I said, the coffee shop.
You're in the coffee I said, the bakery. And he goes.
It's okay because because he knows me, right, he goes
and he knows what's going on. Because a lot more
people have been buying goods from his from his cap
and he goes.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
He probably got his goods from the bakery.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, probably, he goes, because I get a scone there, right,
it's just a two dollars scone. They see me and
they get the scorn out because I know I'm so
boring I won't get anything different. So they're not there.
He says, two dollars go on.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
And the other day you paid four dollars fifty for a.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
No, I didn't buy one of those. I just told
you I saw it on the venue.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
So I'm still dealing with back back to the scon.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
So they don't have pinal for fret is there anyway?
So he said to me, he sees me look on
my face. He goes, it's okay. They've gone home to
Vietnam for two weeks. They'll be back so packed up,
but not gone altogether. Because yeah, because I had that
look in my eyes like I was lost.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Did he have scon?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I think I got a fudge or somewhere, Brownie.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Brownieu didn't you? That's my okay, you couldn't. It just
came out.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I've been sprung. So I'm going to say they're back, Hellelujah.
And I went scondless for fourteen days.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Really?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah, did you notice me grumpy around the building?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah, well I must have hiden it.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, not like you didn't without slices and things.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
You hadn't more sugar by having two at the other place.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
More clezy, more podcast soon, Great the flick with Beno.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Good morning, beno'che, how are you?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Good morning? I wasn't I wasn't caught by a velociraptor.
What's caught by some pretty insane traffic out there?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, that's pretty pretty hectic.
Speaker 9 (12:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Now when you think of when you think of the
original Jurassic Park movie in nineteen ninety three by Steven Spielberg,
I bet you can easily bring to mind so many
iconic moments, absolutely no doubt.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Welcome to Jurassic Part Yeah. That many movies. I've only
seen the one.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Just the first, just the first.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Well, I think I think anybody will remember. You know,
you've got You've got the great, the late great Richard Attenborough.
You know, no bed the you know, life finds away,
the Tyrannosaurus Rex eating that bloke while we sitting on
the toilet, human.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Was with his.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Eggs or whatever they were, DNA hidden in the shaving
foam can and then and then he like he was
scrabbling around in the mud, and the dinosaur with the
frill neck lizards spats there's acid in his face. So
many iconic moments, But I would challenge anybody to come
up with a single thing that they can remember from
(13:28):
the five films that came afterwards.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
No, because I haven't seen the other night.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. So the most recently there's
been three Jurassic World movies starring Chris Pratt, Chris Pratt
and Bryce Dallis Howard, and they had not been particularly good,
but they've made a ton of money at the box office,
Like we're talking a billion dollars each. They're super, super successful.
The franchise in total has made you know, well upwards
(13:57):
of ten billion dollars across the sixth film, and so,
no surprise, they wanted to make another one. This one,
Jurassic World Rebirth, is a standalone sequel, so technically it's
part of the same universe as the previous three Jurassic
World movies. It happens five years after the events of
Jurassic World Dominion, but there's nothing else in common. There
(14:19):
are no characters in common, none of the actors, the dinosaurs,
the dinosaur characters, there's some of those that maybe have returned,
of course, the t Rex. And it's directed by Gareth Edwards, who,
for people who are familiar with his work, gave us
a rogue one which is, you know, one of the
best Star Wars movies ever. He gave us the creator
(14:41):
and he also did a Godzilla movie in I think
twenty fourteen something like that, And so he's got he's
got a very interesting aesthetic, this British filmmaker, and the
film looks amazing. He shot it on thirty five millimeter
film using the same lenses that Steven Spielberg did in
the nineteen ninety three film, So you've got it looks
like a classic kind of nineties action movie, which is nice.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I like that bit of it.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
And you've got Scarlett Johanson, who's obviously a megastar, as
this covert operative who along with Mahashala, a l two
time Oscar winner, are hired by this big farmer company
to go to this deserted island that used to be
a research facility and they need to take DNA samples
(15:27):
from the largest dinosaurs that have ever lived, because that
might hold the secret to curing incurable diseases. Right, so,
you know, pretty noble pursuit. They've got to get a
DNA from a mosasaur, which is an aquatic dinosaur that was,
you know, like weigh twenty tons, a titanosaur, which is
a huge, like a Brontosaurus style dinosaur that was one
(15:48):
of the largest things that've ever worked walked the earth.
And a quetzal coatless, which is pretty hard to say,
a big like flying dinosaur that had a wingspan as
big as a bus. So these are all pretty challenge
things to do. And if that wasn't hard enough, there's
also a civilian family that were on randomly on a
yacht trip through dinosaur infested waters and get marooned on
(16:10):
this island as well, so the soldiers have to kind
of try and protect them as well. And then because
this is a research facility, they've got genetically engineered dinosaurs
and right, and that's and that's that's kind of a
weird thing, right, Like the movie kind of assumes that
the audiences are so bored of dinosaurs that we need
(16:30):
we need these freak mutant dinosaurs to kind of ramp
up the excitement, and you know, so that's it's like,
you know, it jumped over the shark, which is a
prehistoric animid. But I guess the thing is, because we
everyone loves dinosaurs, it's kind of not really okay to
kill dinosaurs anymore. Maybe once upon a time, but even
(16:52):
a velociraptor or a t rex, like if you have
got military guys with you know, m sixties, having them
shoot dinosaurs is just not a good viar. But when
you have genetically engineered freaks, you don't feel any sympathy
towards them, so you can kill those dinosaurs. And so,
you know, it's kind of one of those those decisions
the studio is made to kind of make it a
bit more exciting. Look, I mentioned that none of the
(17:15):
other previous five Jurassic Park movies had anything memorable in them.
This is now the next one that doesn't have anything
memorable in it. I could not, I could not honestly
quote one line of dialogue. There's a lot you do,
you think, No, Like it's when when they when?
Speaker 6 (17:37):
When they? When they?
Speaker 5 (17:40):
When they One of the one of the civilians sees
one of these mutant dinosaurs, like the actual line of
dialogue is they're mutant as really, that's it.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, you'll take them out to like there from the
stereod Olympics.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
So the big question is how many no dinosaurs were
hurt in the making of this movie?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Are you giving it.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Two and a half? It's a pretty pretty mindless it's
a pretty mindless blockbuster. But you know, like this will
still make a ton of money because people love dinosaurs,
and the dinosaurs they're probably more believable than the humans
in the film.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
So scarletteel still Scarlett still get the big payday. So
thank you, absolutely thanks Bank Shade Talking Movies. So when
are we going.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Delving deep into the malarchives of Earth music history? Crazy
tragic music box.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Whacker whacker the year as I mentioned as nineteen eighty eight,
that thing I will complain to your tribe in if
you're like I wanted to be by ring time, all right,
we can organize that. We'll organize it. I've also organized
something else for you because it was nineteen eighty eight
and it was the year of Australia's by centennial celebrations,
and this.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Is for you.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Celebration, celebration of a nation just making great in eighty
eight jas History. Yeah, it was pretty bad. More you're
clapping along, And when I saw the video of that song,
which is Rick Price before he was Rick Prized, before
he's famous. And the girl Karen Karen Minchell apparently she
(19:27):
was in Euphoria the dance band later on, but this
is before they became famous.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
When they took them out of it on the news readers, so.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Funny that it's going to die. It was God and
you in the crowd. There was Bill Peach and there
was other thing that was all John. John Yucan was
there and I think Paul Crone and them, Oh God,
that's funny. You wouldn't do it now. You wouldn't do
the celebration of a nation thing. But there's a lot
of noise and color for the Bison Tenna. It was
a big to the toy shop in eighty eight. The
(19:54):
Atari twenty six hundred console was the hot item for
late eighties gamers. Stick the game prong the way. Yeah,
you used to pick the game cartridge in and you play,
and you could play pac Man Combat, Space Invaders and
the Love a Game of Spaces and Demon Attack was
a big one as well. I love Space I'll find
you a cartridge. Yeah, I know. It moved on from Tennis,
(20:15):
hadn't it. The party Pink Barbie was huge. Magna Doodle,
which sounds odd, was the fresh, the sorry, the free
of mess magnetic game of art. You know, like they
get the drawing and stuff like that and then you
just get the bit of plastic.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
And it was.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
The board was clear and when we're yeah, we could
have many many times and Young Doodle to draw people's
labradod Yeah exactly, yeah, nice And the Young Talent team
from Young Talent Time had a board game, right, including
a cassette. Yeah, and it was. It was one of
the biggest sellers. Early eight had a cassette pre recorded
by Johnny Young and the Young Talent Time kids and
(20:53):
I had to play this for you least close and nothing. Yeah,
that's r game over. Thanks John Legend.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You don't have Johnny Bowls.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Did it even happen Johnny Bowles Little Tiny Tina Arena.
Lots of change happened in Perth in nineteen eighty eight.
It was the year that Channel ten went to air here. Yes,
we're having three commercial channels. The upgrade to forest place,
another upgrade in the city was completed. Murray Street wasn't
yet a mall, but you could park your car at
the Alexander Library building in Northbridge and take the new
what they called the footpath freeway over the rooftops and
(21:28):
Wellington Street to the city to go shopping over the rooftops,
over the rooftops. That the footpath freeway pretty flashing a
not so flash. Prisoners rioted at freeo j Or, setting
it on fire and taking five waters hostage.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I knew one of those waters, Oh did you?
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Hard to believe that freeo Jail was opened until nineteen
ninety one. Hard to believe so bizarre. Nineteen eighty eight
saw the Olympic Games held in Sea. We're talking sool
South Korea. The Aussies only one where only won three
gold medals that year. Duncan Armstrong have a long way,
haven't we? How many are we going to? Dunkn Armstrong?
Which is a great name for a swimmer, isn't it
someone Armstrong? He won the two hundred free style, the
(22:08):
four hundred meter hurdler. Debbie flint Off King, Yes, famous
name of Australian athletics and the hockey Ruse. Now our
women now there's a team that deserves a statue. Let's
be honest. They beat South Korea, the host nation, to
nil and that started a twelve year run that included
three gold medals for our championship World. Weren't they incredible?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Every gold medal we won back in those days was
like just thirty central. Now people get angry if the
swimmers don't win.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Me go yeah, well, yeah, we had a couple of Olympics.
London was like that. In nineteen eighty eight we moaned
about paying sixty cents a leader for petrol after their
recent prost roses. Isn't that funny? And if you're busy
working nine to five, you'd have to pick up the
West Australian or the Daily News newspapers and look for
the petrol rosters so you could fill up and then
maybe driving miles from home to the airport. Yeah, hard
to believe, Lisa. In nineteen eighty eight, we hadn't yet met. No, Nelly,
(22:57):
I knew of you because you worked You and I
work for the same network. Yes, right, So I was
at SAFM and Adelaide and you're at the Eagle, the
newly launched station here at home. Yes, and I also
had my I'm heading Home to Perthsame, Where's the brunette
radar was switched on? Already sounds sleazy, but it wasn't.
We became mates in music. The biggest albums in Australia
were in excess as Kick Yep, Dirty Dancing Soundtrack, Freight
(23:20):
Train Heart from Jimmy Barnes. After we moved on to Chisel.
Rick Cassley's Whenever You Need Somebody was a big album
that year. We first got Yeah, the Lonesome gew Belief
fro John Mellencamp before he got too grumpy and Ice
House Man of Colours had so many hits out of
the Tragic Music Box from nineteen eighty eight here at
ninety six Airfare.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
More Crazy, More podcast Soon.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'm going to say that twenty seven years ago. This
is my story this morning. It's twenty seven years ago.
I flew to Brisbane to go to my dad's sixtieth
birthday party. Yes, Fridge and so Yeah Big had a
grapig party. There is placed in Polara in Brize now.
On the night I gave him a letter. I wrote
him a letter for his sixtieth birthday, and I've wrote
(24:03):
some mushy stuff in and all the rest of it.
And at the end of the letter, I said, oh,
by the way, I want you to hold this promise
that when I tuned sixty, you're going to be at
my party. Yeah, you're going to come over and or
be with me. Yeah, And thinking at the time I
wrote it, as you come to mind, man, he's going
to be eighty seven. Bloody hell, there you go. So
here we are, twenty seven, twenty seven years on. Yeah,
(24:25):
I guess he's in town this week. Despite the health
issues at eighty seven year olds have, or many of
us have, and all the rest of it. He and
his wife Judy got on a plane. They're here to
have dinner with Lori and I on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I've gone on.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
How good is that help? He said? He said to
me at the time, you're on, and he was on here, Yeah,
he's here.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
His promise Really cool.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I thought, that's so cool.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Seven years late, twenty.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Seven year promise and he was good for it, which
is pretty damn cool. So I thought we'd open the
text and the phone lines today and tell us when
you or someone you know has kept that promise. Might
be a long long.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Time waiting you're looking at me like, well, you know
that saying don't promise anything. You don't make promises you can't.
I must have taken that very but I will tell
you this, this is talking about this has reminded me
of one of my favorite ever movies with Kerry Grant
in it. Do you remember the movie? And a fair
to remember they dated in nineteen fifty seven, but it
(25:23):
was what would have been one of those Sunday afternoon
jobs that I used to love watching, and he and
Deborah Kerr play to these you know, sort of star
cross lovers that never get together, but they agree to
meet at the top of the Empire State Building, if
you know, six months after they meet on the cruise,
if they still feel the same way about each other
(25:45):
and if nothing else is going on, right, it's a
bit Tom Hanks Now, I love it quite and anyways
about what happens when one of them goes up there
and looks like one of them didn't. It's a wonderful,
wonderful film. So that's a fear to remember, affair to remember.
So that's a little bit like that, did you keep
a promise that wasn't years later but it was months later?
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Months later, and the aspect of love as.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Well, Johnny Nangara, have you kept a promise years later? Yeah,
so I did what happened.
Speaker 10 (26:14):
John st Well, many years ago I lived in a
country town and a lady ran the local pub, and
she was quite a character full of jokes, you know.
She was the queen of jokes. Very she was a
colorful taste in humor. And I used to come down
when I was a student, come down back to my
(26:35):
hometown and we'd go to the pub and I'd bring
all the local jokes from Perth down there, and a
couple of them. She really liked them, one in particular.
And anyway, she said, when I passed away, I want
you to be the celibrant at my funeral, the MC
at my funeral. Now, I didn't think much of it. Anyway,
I got married and we lived in this I went
(26:57):
back to the same town. We lived there for about
twenty five years, and then after that, when our kids
grew up, we moved to the city. We used to
go back there occasionally and bump into each other and
the jokes would start flying again. If you kept saying,
remember you've got to be the MC at my funeral. Anyway,
I hadn't seen it for about ten or twelve years,
and she got really ill and on her deathbed, apparently
(27:20):
she said to her husband, you make sure John is
the MC at my funeral.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:26):
So a couple of months back, I had to fulfill
the promise.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Well done, John, John.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
And it's not my being a celebraty is not my Yeah, that's.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Easy rules, that's what she wants, that's what she wanted.
Speaker 10 (27:44):
Yeah, And there was one joke I had to tell
but I can't repeat it.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
To say, I've got the button ready. Thanks John.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Lou In Ballsbrook. Where did you keep a promise? Of
years later?
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Good morning? It was actually my wife. I was here
in the Marine Corps and I have to marry me.
She said, you have to live on ship. We'll do
this correctly next time we get together, I promise. Twenty
six years later, we connected on Facebook and I came
here and we got married.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Hey that's a Dixie Chicks song.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah, full circle.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
Yeah, there's a lot more behind it.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
She came to the state for two years and was
homesick and want to come here. And I came back
to my two youngest sons. And it's absolutely one of
the most beautiful plays I've ever been how it are?
Speaker 3 (28:38):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yes, lovely story low, thank good day, guys. That's not
unlike Paul and Bolldivers, who on the text said, back
on the eighth of April nineteen eighty six, I promised
my wife I would love her forever. Here we are
still together and still madly and love love it ma.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Noticely I love her to come out of the woodwork.
When we mentioned keeping promises, yeah, I like that. That's
got to count up. Can I callen Hello? How you're
going to go?
Speaker 6 (29:06):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Good bye? What have you got the kept promise department?
Speaker 9 (29:09):
When I was about sixteen, which is a long time ago,
I had this ten pal in South Africa and we
used to talk all the time, she know, and she
said to me, I want you to come and visit
me one day, you know, I promise me. And I yeah, yeah, yeah,
sure I will. Yeah, of course it well one day,
and I'm thinking as if I'm going to do that.
And then when I was about twenty one, you know,
email and back and forth of work and coming visit
me one day. Yeah, I promise you, I will, I will. Anyway,
(29:30):
she worked on me and worked me when I was
about twenty three. One day at work, the hell of
a day, and she sent me this email saying, hey, look,
you know, how's it going. Why don't you come visit?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
And I thought, I'm going to do it. I'm going
to buck to do it.
Speaker 9 (29:39):
So I did. I flew to South Africa, flew to
joe Berg and then off to Durban and she and
a friend met me at the airport and it was
the freaking weirdest random experience in my life. But yes, cool,
it was a really good experience. And yeah, so that
fits the building.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
You go, yeah, but you did it, but you didn't
think you would at the time when you kept saying.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yeah, yeah, until all of a sudden it sounded like
the best idea of I heard in my life. I'm
having a crap tie. I'm going to Tiburg.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Thanks Callen, thank you, thanks for sharing that one though.
