After Samuel L Jackson recounted a near death experience in 1988, Clairsy and Lisa were seeking your near-death experiences and took a call they weren’t expecting!
A busy weekend of sport – Barra joined Clairsy & Lisa to discuss; topics dissected included the Eagles loss to Roos in Bunbury over the weekend. Barra ran into Hayden Young at the opening of the new Cockburn Thornlie line of all places and shares some exciting news, and a great weekend of tennis as the French Open ended, Lisa described the men’s final match as ‘Jannick Sinner: Escape from Alcarez’.
On The Shaw Report, Paul McCartney joined Bruce Springsteen on stage over the weekend, and it was… something. The BET awards are back with Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg and Jamie Foxx nominated, plus Lisa discussed unusual reasons leading actresses have been rejected for roles.
Ahead of Clairsy & Lisa’s Perth Pub Crawl this Friday, Martin Cilia (Flying Fonazarellis) and Michael Parks (The Riffs) spoke with the guys about their first gigs, favourite Perth spots and best memories. Morley Senior High gets a shout out.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Samuel L.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Jackson has just been recounting a story on a podcast,
the Mad Sad Bad Podcast about the time he was
dragged by a train through a New York City subway
tunnel when the door closed on his foot. I actually
I do have some audio of Sam talking about it.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Have a listener.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
God By subway train in New York.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
Other than the middle door the last car and it
was a long extrain station when the door closed on
my foot train took off. So I'm sitting there thinking like, oh,
I'm going to die because I could see the tunnel
coming and I couldn't figure out anything that I could
grab or hold on to get close to the train
so I wouldn't get killed in the tunnel.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So the first thing I noticed about this audio, Samuel L.
Jackson just spoke for twenty one seconds and didn't say,
you know what once?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Was that his brother or a cousand.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Or something I experience upon hearing that was that? So
that actually happened way back in nineteen eighty eight, and.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
He did sue the subway system for five hundred and
forty thousand dollars foot.

Oh, how horrific. Yeah, you think you're gone sky, don't you?

stole a carpet or whatever, I get a little bit
of hope. You go, oh did you see a white light?

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Something, life flashing before your eyes and then.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You go, is that dreaming? And what is that? What
is that going on? And is the bright light just
because it's a sunny at the beach.

And you were on because you were you know, in
the hospital to.

brey get a Peter.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
How are you good, my dear death experience. What was
your story?
Speaker 10 (06:23):
Well, I'm an East Coast kid, and the ocean on
the East Coast is nowhere near deserving of the respect
that the West Coast ocean is totally different oceans. And
I was swimming at Back Beach and got into a
riptor I just could not get out of. And I
was going up and down like a cork and just
about to go down for the last time when a
(06:46):
surfing just grabbed me by the back of the neck
and pulled me over his board and had alled me
back to shore as if there was something he did
every bloody day a hero. Yes, it's scared the absolute
life out of me.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, they're not to be messed with, and they're not
to be underestimated.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I mean, the ocean is it's in charge.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
If you know you can't have an argument with the ocean,
You've got to do what it tells you.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Good swimmers get in the trouble to you.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Absolutely, absolutely, thanks Peter. It's exhausting, that's the thing. It
takes it out of you and you just have nothing
left to Yes, yeah, thanks Peter.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
That thing you're trying to swim the wrong way and
you know in a rip instead of letting it take
you that that can change things.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Really, that you can forget about trying to swim against it.
You've got to go with it.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
But even if you go with it, it can still
exhaust you in whatever's pulling underneath.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, and have taken it out halfway to Rotto.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Well yeah, yeah, so you're add in the terror as well,
and all of that is, you know, all that adrenaline.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Especially if you've got your mouth open and you're starting
to take in way too much.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
In the Hindu of Progress, Craigan Singleton's I had a
dear death experience.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I once left the toilet seeder.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
That's really dangerous.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yeah, we will come for you, Yeah, absolutely, Peter.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Hi, Yeah, good morning bey the toilet.
Speaker 11 (08:14):
So yeah, I live in Jokai and I had some
chest pains and I thought I'd go to Charlie's we'll
go to journal up.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
It was the other way.
Speaker 11 (08:24):
When the journal up in the emergency and started getting
really bad. The nurse told me take a deep breath,
and then I was on the floor and I had
to do a journal. Ulcer burst in my stomach.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh yea, And they gave me.
Speaker 11 (08:38):
They gave me some ventanyl that didn't work, and then
they gave me some ketamine that worked. And I went
into a very light cloud, and I'm sure I saw
my father and I was all ready to die. And
next thing, I woke up ten hours later with a
pipe sticking out of my stomach.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
With a large scar.
Speaker 11 (08:56):
So the doctor said to me, he said, you would
have gone to Charlie.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
You would have died on the road.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (09:02):
Wow, and I lost So I'm very happy.

Yeah, the best dream of your life.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
And yeah, I didn't get to say my dad, but.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, I know he would have wanted it the way
he is, so that's good. But also I said, you've
got I don't know how you don't let hope of anything.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Thanks Peter.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
On the text someone who has not named themselves, he says,
a few weeks ago, mate and I were out fishing
just near Penguin island.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
A freak wave came flip the boat.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
We ended up in the ocean for about half an
hour before being rescued, And the only thing that worried
us was what was in the ocean.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Swimming under Yeah, trying not to think about it.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
You're trying not to think about it.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
But he sent her a photo and it does you know,
he's clinging onto the biocean is fairly choppy water around
it is if you're you know, in the water.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
After being in the it wasn't your choice to be
in the water. That's a very scary situation.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, you're in the drink because you're not You're not
knowing if it's going half an hour or seventeen.
Speaker 3 (10:08):

home from school as a kid.
Speaker 10 (10:31):
I've attempted drowning four times in my life.
Speaker 12 (10:34):
Right, and.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Yeah, tempted because I'm still here.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
And the last one was a near on head on
collision with a trap.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so I just realized that.
Speaker 8 (10:56):

Speaker 13 (12:00):

like an AFL Grand Final? And I should get something
for losing my knees to footy president.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Winning club again on the weekend.
Speaker 13 (12:10):
Good to see Brian Cook elevated though the former Eagles.
Yes Gelong is that Geelong and Carlton as well. So
the game that won't win any accolades was the game
in Bunbury yesterday, so it shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Laugh at the Battle of Bunbury. I think great.
Speaker 13 (12:28):
I think the AFL's I think the tourism is going
to pay those teams just flip and get someone else
down there.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It got a bit Keystone cops at times.
Speaker 8 (12:37):
It was.
Speaker 13 (12:37):
They won by ten points obviously North Melbourne at the end,
but they in no situation did they deserve to win.
Incredibly in the first half least thirty nine inside fifties,
the most by any team this year.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Thirty nine inside fifties for how many goals.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Well yeah, it's the goal point ratio that was very disturbing,
isn't it.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
In the whole match.
Speaker 13 (12:59):
I think they had sixty three West Coast really and
they scored at twenty four percent. Normally it's at least fifty.
So he deserved to win. Actually, the rous captain if
you got that audio there clear the ruse captain. He
kicked the sealer joy Simpkin and after the match he
basically said they didn't deserve to win.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Yeah, just I think we deserve to win that game.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But mate, we'll take the four points.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
We'll come here on a mission to knock off the
Eagles and then they're going to put up a good
fight and that's what they did.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
And yeah, we're very lucky walkway for four points. Well
I got one last quarter.
Speaker 13 (13:32):
Nice honesty. A lot of North Melbourne fans down in Bunbury.
I was going to work it out, what do you all?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
It must be.
Speaker 13 (13:37):
Because the old days, you know, Russlyn Dinning and the Crackers, Cable,
Kevin Bryant, Peter Spencer.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Because it was a.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
North Melbourne home game, they would have got first DIBs,
wouldn't they on the Yeah.
Speaker 13 (13:51):
A few did fly in, you're right, But just around
there there's a lot of locals that follow North Melbourne.
Sleep we can a few, yea, So I reckon maybe
Eagles biggest following here Dockers and then maybe it's either
Carlton or North Melbourne. So yeah, it was a very
clever move to get North Melbourne.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Also a lot of loud Pies fans when played.
Speaker 13 (14:11):
Yeah, yeah, the Pies everywhere you can't get don't get
away from. I saw Hayden Young yesterday too.

The Sliders, ari Arian Titmas, the swimming Champ, Peter Dekos, Mark,
Tubby Taylor, really Servo Matt Shervington. So I'm trying to
work out it's supposed to be Aussie icons. So I
thought I thought Tubby Taylor would come down as a

(16:07):
And would sure come down as a lunch box, big
lunch box.
Speaker 2 (16:10):

Wolverine or something.
Speaker 14 (16:26):

reckon maybe you might ular if you're allowed to.

The shod as an Aussie icon. Actually the swerve. Maybe

been completed.
Speaker 13 (17:00):
Go off the American girl. She's only twenty one. She
is going to be an absolute star, one of the
great sports names as well. She beat world number one
Arena Sablenka. Actually she was super emotional too, because she
doubted herself. I don't know why you would doubt herself.
She was here for the tennis that was here earlier
this year, and I met her a couple of times.
(17:20):
Just she's amazing, amazing athlete. But this is what she
said straight after winning first.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
I like to thank God for always keeping me covered.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I was going through a lot of things when I
lost in this final three years ago.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I'm just happy to be here.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
A lot of dark thoughts and just the fact that
I stay to it just means a lot to be here.
Speaker 13 (17:43):
So yeah, so if she's having dark thoughts, we're all
in trouble hard, So that was for you at least
that audio.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
So Nick Sinner an Escape from Alcatraz.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
That's a lot.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
I love that line.
Speaker 13 (17:55):
That's only used that on the news tonight. Actually got
the day off, but I'll use it somewhere Heed. But
I've just got to tell you quickly about Saberlenka. So
I don't know if it was an accent thing or
she's not a very gracious loser. But she said after
the match that she didn't lose because because Gorf played incredible.
She said it was because I made a lot of mistakes.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
That's more.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
The language a really damaging thing to say about it. Never,
it never goes well making a comment like that.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
She can get a bit, a bit sour.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
She did have seventy unforced errors. It sounds like you
and me having to hit some God.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yeah, but she don't say things.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
No, that's right, let's get to the main event.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Give us that line again, Lisa Janick Sinner in Escape
from Alcatraz.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
That's that's what he was hoping for, but he couldn't.
Speaker 13 (18:48):
French Open and the French Open Men's final between Carlos
al Karaz and Janixina it's being hailed as one of
the greatest tennis matches in tennis history. That's a big
cool because it was long. Our Koraz delivered a performance
for the ages. He was two sets down, he saved
three championship points. The match lasted five hours twenty nine minutes,
(19:09):
making the longest French Open final in history and the
second longest Grand Slam final ever.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
These people never saw John McEnroe play board. Jimmy Connors,
there's your greatest test matches ever.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
What about Raffa and.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
That was pretty good?
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Yeah, Sam Press Djokovic.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
The French has never gone this long because Rafa pretty.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Much well, Our Koraz said he was channeling Raffa. He
was thinking, I will win this because the Raffa like
the Raffa. I will fight like the Raffa or something
like that.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Anyway, that's an accent issue, he said, like our little
Julian word.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
We are looking for the pronunciation king.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
How do I see?
Speaker 13 (19:52):
Anyway, the final marked the first Grand Slam championship decided
by a ten point five set tiebreaker, so that was
historical as well. Get to have a look at that
if you can. Okay, supercars were in Perth brock Feenie
was the king there. I'll I'll just mention that eighty
three laps two hundred k's around wanner Roue.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
He named after Peter Brook. Do you reckon a question?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Good question?
Speaker 13 (20:13):
I reckon he would be too. You're right, he's only
twenty two. It looks about forty two, but he's only
twenty two.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
If you're driving that fast for that long anyway, no
mirrors at my house. Luck, you're an oil you do
age quickly and that's funny.
Speaker 13 (20:27):
Window thanks or painting. And look, I wanted to mention
my favorite team, the West Coast Fever. I get a
tack for not doing enough on it.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Love the Fever.
Speaker 13 (20:36):
Seven straight wins since the return of their superstar Janil
Fowler New Part.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
They were amazing.
Speaker 13 (20:42):
They pumped the new South Wales Swifts, brought their big
winning streak to a screeching holt. They dismantled the ladder
leaders by eleven points in Sydney in front of eight
and a half thousand fans.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
And they are flying and we love the West Coast Fever.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
You love them so much your skin's starting to do.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Make me angry.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Mane incredible bearer.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Get bigger than guys.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
There's sure report on ninety six air FM, nine.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Women have accused actor Jared Letto of inappropriate sexual behavior.
Nine the women alleged that the actor and musician has
engaged in bad behavior for years. One of the women
said it's been an open secret for a long time,
and some of them say they were underage when Leto
allegedly took advantage of them. A representative Filetto says the
allegations are just demonstrably false. So Paul McCartney joined Bruce
(21:41):
Springsteen on stage in Liverpool on the weekend. The Boss
was playing the second of two shows at Anfield, the
home of the Liverpool Football Club, on Saturday night, and
during his en care he brought out the Beatle.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Now, I don't want to I don't want to say
that Paul might not have been at his best, but
this is how Wench.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Great.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
I was three next week, three next week.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
So yeah, and he hasn't got his guitaristill in the
high stuff helping him out.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
And he's Paul McCart Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg and Jamie
Fox are all being honored at the BET Awards tonight.
They'll be receiving the Ultimate Icon Awards. They were selected
to celebrate their decades of groundbreaking contributions to music, entertainment,
advocacy and community impact. He's had quite the community impact.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
On Snoop while It's Hot game.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I love him now.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I was reading an article online this morning with celebrities
talking about reasons they were rejected for roles, like Scarlet
Johnson was told she was too sexy for the lead
role in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I thought, well,
that must have made Nomi rapp Us, who got the role,
feel real good. Mindy Kaling recalls an audition where she
was rejected for not being attractive enough to play herself
(23:22):
on a sketch show. Elle Fanning says only recently she
was rejected from something for not having.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Enough Instagram followers God Help Us.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
And Maggie Gillenhall shared that she was told by a
Hollywood producer she was simply too old to play the
love interest opposite of fifty five year old man. She
was thirty seven at the time. Just a bit concerning
that these are all women, yet hardly surprising.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Me told you too sexy for a role? How bizarre
morning would you go?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Away, Chuff, more Clazi, more reason, more podcast. Soon we
would be singing a man at Work song to twelve
hundred people. And men at working began the road.
Speaker 15 (24:05):
I only to put people party in the venues, but
the bands was a wavelong Colezy and Li says person
pub crawl at Pinocchio's Magnet Houses, resurrecting Pinocchio's for one
night only Magnet House, a mecca of dance and diversity
right in the heart of the city.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Special guest in our Perth pub crawl this morning is
Martin Celia from the Flying fund Zaarellies.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Martin, Good morning, mate, Welcome, Good morning guys.
Speaker 8 (24:29):
Yes, I was just thinking this morning funds Arelis was
forty years ago. Oh stop, I don't know how that happened.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
It just kind of gave your age away.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Well you're about seven, so.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Well I did start very young, So you know that
gave me in advantage.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Is it true, because I believe you were about fourteen
when you started playing in bands.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Was your first gig at Marley High School?
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Yes, it was with some high school friends. And I
think I'm thirteen when I did my first gi at
Morley High Yeah. Wow, so yeah, I still remember that.
We played six songs and I still remember most of them.
It's like it's funny where you start sometimes you still
carry that through through your career. But yet Molly High
about a thousand people in the school hall there and
(25:15):
then it went from there.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Popular with the girls being in a band.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Why you playing?
Speaker 8 (25:20):
Well, it didn't do any harm. The interesting thing is
my time I was fifteen, I was playing the Perth
pub circuit.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah you like diesel that geting stuck in the back
door because you were so young.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Yeah, well yeah, my parents says to drop me off
or I go with one of the older guys in
the band. But they kind of knew me, so I
was okay. But on Wednesday nights we used to do that.
We're talking about the girl thing. We should to do
this hotel called the Sterling Arms, yes, which is in Guildford. Yeah,
and Wednesday night they had stripper on so we'd player
set so you know, you get to know it's on
(25:58):
the girls. And I was so much into the the
band and the music that I'd go to school next
day and the guys and the girls will come up
to me and go, oh, so, who's a stip on
last night. How did that go?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
And?
Speaker 8 (26:08):
OK, well, I don't know, but we've played a great
version of come and Get Right.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
That's funny.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
So that's got how it went.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah. But you talk about the girls reaction at school,
but what were the boys like? You know, were the
few of the tough guys a bit upset that you're
getting all the attention?
Speaker 8 (26:26):
Not really because I didn't play up on it. But
I've still got friends from school now who some of
them play, some of them don't play music. And they
all said, well, the ones that don't play music, so
we will envy you. We wish we could have done
what you did, yeah, which I at the time never saw.
I just thought it was a normal thing to do.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
So enter the Flying Fond of Allies. Like so many
great bands. Half of the band was related, were they.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
There's two brothers in the band, yes, the drummer and
the piano player from Joe to Massey.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
So we started off in a garage in Balcata, right,
That's where we started off rehearsing. Yeah, And we used
to rehearse a tennis ten o'clock on Monday, and we
rehearsed ten to three or ten to two every day,
and then we got the band up enough so we
could play an hour set, and then we went and
did a support to Mental as Anything at the Raffles
(27:14):
and got a great reaction, and then we kept grat
the sing and got it up. In those days, you
had to play a three set gig in per three
minutes sets, so you had to have enough songs and
enough content to get you through. So that's what we
did and it just went from there. And interesting thing
with Mentals was I ended up joining the band years later.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Oh well, that's cool, that's very cool. I think of
the Flying Fonzias that I think of two words. I
think of fun and I think a party, because that's
what people just rocked up to see, you guys. Though
it wasn't it.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
It's a really really good musical band, but it was
also a fun band. Everyone could play well, but also
everyone could perform, and we had the attitude of like
you've got to go to work, make it fun, you know,
and that rubbed off to the audience and the band
worked hard. And yeah, so we had a really good
good run there in person.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
You know what I think of when I think do
our diddy Diddy dumb. Did that must have gone off
at the shows.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
Yes, I remember we actually recorded that song, and yeah,
I think I've got a big bit of action in
the first charts, and I remember doing two videos for it.
I don't know why we did two videos for that
one song, right, have recollection of doing two different videos.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
For it because there was so many.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
That was one of those songs I was dejaying at
the times, and it saved you saved your baking so
many times. I love that song.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Yeah, it doesn't fail, does Yeah, we have fun with
that and yeah I said that was eight ninety eighty
three to eighty five eighty sixth somewhere around there.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yep, absolutely, Well, everyone loved the shows because full house
signs used to go up before your gigs even began.
That's that's would have to be reassuring to head out
onto stage with. What were some of your favorite places
to play other than the Raffles.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
Well, the Raffles we played there every Saturday night any months,
I think to it. Well, okay, the house and the
only problem was when we start againt a lot of people,
you get to the gig and you can't park and
you it's still like that yes, we have to get
reserve parking or something. But when you know you're doing well,
Generator was. I grew up in Morley, so I was
(29:12):
Generator was was a was a home gig for me. Yeah,
that was pretty good. And I had a car at
a time, and I remember I didn't get out of
second year to get there.
Speaker 13 (29:21):
It was.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
In Petrol.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
It was just starting it up. And then there's different
times then and then looking by tel the overflow that
was always.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
So what are you doing now, Martin? You're still playing?
Speaker 8 (29:37):
I hadn't stopped to two the last thirty years. Yeah.
I moved to Sydney with a bank called Dave worn
of some suburbs.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (29:47):
Good. So after Pontarellis teamed up with Dave and we
were doing gigs and record We recorded a few albums
and then one time we're in Sydney and I thought
I'll just stay for a little bit, you know, maybe
a couple of months. And it went onto a year.
And I'm still based out of Sydney because the bands
that i'm with two are out of Sydney Airport, so
I have to be near that. But I've got to
(30:08):
come to Perth all the time. And remember I get
a few weeks here and they're still such a great place.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
And you mentioned Dave Warner, but you you've rubbed shoulders
and work with a lot of great people, including that
boke who wrote somebody of those great Skyhawks Melbourne epics,
Greg McCain's from Skyhawks as well.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Yes, it's spent a lot of time with Greg. We
toured together in the nineties as part of the show
and a band, and I see Greg quite regularly and
is still fame.
Speaker 9 (30:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Well, when you're in town, come visit Martin. It's been
lovely to chat to you this morning.

Yeah, absolutely great memories.
Speaker 8 (30:41):
Good times, they were really good times.
Speaker 2 (30:42):

be your memoir title, I reckon.

the Flying Funds are allies. Good morning, see ya, thanks mate,

when we did the Perth pub Crawl series with Perfect Strangers,
but we thought we'd concentrate on the Rifts today.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
Mike, Yes, yeah, lovely.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Okay, what would you like to know?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Well, let's start with the name. Obviously a riff of
musical riff, was it?
Speaker 7 (31:59):
Oh no, it came It came from a movie detail.
Speaker 12 (32:04):
I think that it was about a gang of street
thugs and stuff and Barry Lytton sort of picked the
name and they were called the Rifts.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Okay. It was a west Side story.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
Yeah, it was very west Side story.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
More more than Boggies and Widgies at Scarboro. Yeah yeah, yeah, Parks.
I went through the Tragic Music Box yesterday and tragically
I found a gig ticket to the Angels Flowers and
Rifts Sunday, March one, nineteen anyway per Entertainment Center.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I remember that.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
It must have been a huge night to play at
the incend what I can remember.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Yes, it was a very huge.
Speaker 9 (32:43):
You know.
Speaker 12 (32:44):
I mean we used to knock around with those the
boys from the Angels back in the sort of Jimmy
and the Boys days.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
Yeah, back in Sydney.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
But yeah, that was lots of fun.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
We were the regular haunts around town for the riffs.
I know you used to play the Herdy.
Speaker 12 (33:00):
Day session at the Subi. We played there quite a
bit down at the Cot. That was another sort of
gig Friday nights. Oh god where lots of the Albion
Hotel on Sterling Harway. That was a big one for us.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (33:15):
Yeah, lots of lots of those places have closed down
or they've stopped having a real shame.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, well the lands are worth too much. But is
it weird when you drive past some of the old
venues and then and they're not open anymore.
Speaker 7 (33:30):
Yeah, they're usually retirement diligious, that isn't it. The swan Born,
the Shed Hotel retirement.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
I keep saying, we've come full circle. Yes, I used
to go there for that, and now I can go
there for that.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
Yeah, I'll be going back.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Tell us about the band's last gig. It was pretty infamous.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Oh the last gig? Yes, where come on? Give me,
give me some remember a sum.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Of two Christmas gig. First and last Christmas show was
the Red Parrot.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
I think the Red.
Speaker 8 (34:06):
Parent that was.
Speaker 12 (34:09):
I don't know whether that was a reunion gig. It
might have been, might have been a reunion gig or
I'm just trying. I can't actually remember if it was
the last.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
You did have a lot of reunion It was like
kiss just coming back.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Yeah, but like.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
You were rip yeah, party you go.
Speaker 7 (34:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah it was. I'm pretty sure that Red
Parrot gig.
Speaker 12 (34:38):
It might have been one where Mick Oh was on
a We had him hooked up to a flying thing
that where he sort of came in.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
The red with the harness. That was it?
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Was it trying to be Pink years before Pink. That's
incredible moment. Was there any safety involved?
Speaker 7 (34:55):
No safety No, no, no, what is it?
Speaker 5 (34:58):
N h I you didn't have to.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Pass any kind of test beforehand.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
I think about the Red Parrot though. It was, as
I recall it was, it was a place where you
didn't show a great deal of emotion. You just sort
of you just swayed.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
You were you were all in black, and you just
kind of swayed a little from side to side.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
So that must have really woken up the audience.
Speaker 12 (35:19):
Yeah, well, there was a lot of those sort of
special things that people were sort of into back those days.
Had that sort of glazed look on their face.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, you were dancing like a lane from Seinfeld.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yes, that's the opposite a special thing, like a special
sandwich before the gig, baby.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, basically sandwich.
Speaker 7 (35:40):
We won't going that too further.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, Parksy, is it good when you catch up with
some of the guys and reminiscences at a bit of
that going on and you're all a bit too busy
in the world.
Speaker 12 (35:48):
Well, well, Barry Litton, the drummer who started this whole
thing off, he's in New Zealand, right, Yeah, he's said there.
Glenn White, the guitarist who was from Matt Finish that
we came dragged over the birth with us. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he's back in New Zealand. Porl, Mika O'Har has left
(36:10):
the planet sadly floating away in the in the ether somewhere.
And Marshall Rushford, who was up we got him in
a round nineteen eighty one, used.
Speaker 7 (36:20):
To play in a band called the Venetians.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Bara talks about that shocking game between the Eagles and
the Rus in Bumbri yesterday and claims the Men's French
Open was the best tennis match ever.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Feels like it's still going. We talk about the random
reasons actors didn't get a role.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
And we take calls on near death experiences. After Samuel L.
Jackson opened up about one so near death experiences.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Samuel L.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Jackson has just been recounting a story on a podcast,
the Mad Sad Bad Podcast about the time he was
dragged by a train through a New York City subway
tunnel when the door closed on his foot. I actually
I do have some audio of Sam talking about it.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Have a listener.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
God By subway train in New York.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
Other than the middle door the last car and it
was a long extrain station when the door closed on
my foot train took off. So I'm sitting there thinking like, oh,
I'm going to die because I could see the tunnel
coming and I couldn't figure out anything that I could
grab or hold on to get close to the train
so I wouldn't get killed in the tunnel.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So the first thing I noticed about this audio, Samuel L.
Jackson just spoke for twenty one seconds and didn't say,
you know what once?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Was that his brother or a cousand.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Or something I experience upon hearing that was that? So
that actually happened way back in nineteen eighty eight, and.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
He did sue the subway system for five hundred and
forty thousand dollars foot.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh, how horrific. Yeah, you think you're gone sky, don't you?
Speaker 7 (01:45):
So?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I don't think I have had a near death experience.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I think you probably have a fair You probably have
a favor recollection of it. How about those people? Will
you hear the story where they're technically dead for you know,
a couple of minutes or whatever, until I get that heartbeat, backs,
stole a carpet or whatever, I get a little bit
of hope. You go, oh did you see a white light?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
And people not all calm and all that. Yeah, all
that kind of stuff people talk about, hovering above.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Above the table or the couch or.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Something, life flashing before your eyes and then.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You go, is that dreaming? And what is that? What
is that going on? And is the bright light just
because it's a sunny at the beach.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
And you were on because you were you know, in
the hospital to.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Begin with HER's and Pammy Anderson in front of you
resuscitating you on the beach during your bay watch kind
of incident.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Well was a dream. Sorry, that was one of those dress.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I was talking with someone yesterday about your greatest fear
if you live alone is choking.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh yes, no one help, no one to you know.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
And then of course your cats will eat.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
You, sinister.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I've heard things about cats eating you.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Oh yeah, I guess it's a food source, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
They tap on you long enough to fill their crunchy bowl.

He was five and I had my youngest one who

Speaker 9 (04:36):
My two year old doesn't remember any any of us, Yes,

day has quite a big anxiety.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, as you would, as you would Jillian like you
and the people around you got no warning whatsoever, and
very very warning, very close to the water coming in.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
Yeah, just had no warning, just the rowing sound and
just fang there. So yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
I'm just very very lucky that's Inreble.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
You are lucky.

Okay, thanks for the call. We really appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
God, I've got stop.
Speaker 2 (05:26):

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Hours you're having a bit of a giggle dirt bike
cup you know thing, and then Jillian hits us.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
We got swept away with in the tsunami.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
God, that is a near death experience.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
About as near as you can get.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Forget the white light, it's just white water. That's incredible.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Markin Jandercott says he slipped into a diabetic coma after
having an allergic reaction to ozempic and Sharon says last year,
traveling Albany Highway heading south, came over the hill on
my side, myself and you in front were missed by
a hare truck proceeded to hit the side of the
road and then rolled down the highway.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
She said, it was that close. I could see the
driver looking at his phone.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Oh dear, that'll cause all kinds of problems, Sharon, and
maybe worse than a near death. It's got a bun
brey get a Peter.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
How are you good, my dear death experience. What was
your story?
Speaker 10 (06:23):
Well, I'm an East Coast kid, and the ocean on
the East Coast is nowhere near deserving of the respect
that the West Coast ocean is totally different oceans. And
I was swimming at Back Beach and got into a
riptor I just could not get out of. And I
was going up and down like a cork and just
about to go down for the last time when a
(06:46):
surfing just grabbed me by the back of the neck
and pulled me over his board and had alled me
back to shore as if there was something he did
every bloody day a hero. Yes, it's scared the absolute
life out of me.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, they're not to be messed with, and they're not
to be underestimated.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I mean, the ocean is it's in charge.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
If you know you can't have an argument with the ocean,
You've got to do what it tells you.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Good swimmers get in the trouble to you.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Absolutely, absolutely, thanks Peter. It's exhausting, that's the thing. It
takes it out of you and you just have nothing
left to Yes, yeah, thanks Peter.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
That thing you're trying to swim the wrong way and
you know in a rip instead of letting it take
you that that can change things.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Really, that you can forget about trying to swim against it.
You've got to go with it.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
But even if you go with it, it can still
exhaust you in whatever's pulling underneath.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, and have taken it out halfway to Rotto.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Well yeah, yeah, so you're add in the terror as well,
and all of that is, you know, all that adrenaline.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Especially if you've got your mouth open and you're starting
to take in way too much.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
In the Hindu of Progress, Craigan Singleton's I had a
dear death experience.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I once left the toilet seeder.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
That's really dangerous.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yeah, we will come for you, Yeah, absolutely, Peter.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Hi, Yeah, good morning bey the toilet.
Speaker 11 (08:14):
So yeah, I live in Jokai and I had some
chest pains and I thought I'd go to Charlie's we'll
go to journal up.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
It was the other way.
Speaker 11 (08:24):
When the journal up in the emergency and started getting
really bad. The nurse told me take a deep breath,
and then I was on the floor and I had
to do a journal. Ulcer burst in my stomach.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh yea, And they gave me.
Speaker 11 (08:38):
They gave me some ventanyl that didn't work, and then
they gave me some ketamine that worked. And I went
into a very light cloud, and I'm sure I saw
my father and I was all ready to die. And
next thing, I woke up ten hours later with a
pipe sticking out of my stomach.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
With a large scar.
Speaker 11 (08:56):
So the doctor said to me, he said, you would
have gone to Charlie.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
You would have died on the road.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (09:02):
Wow, and I lost So I'm very happy.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Yeah, the best dream of your life.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
And yeah, I didn't get to say my dad, but.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, I know he would have wanted it the way
he is, so that's good. But also I said, you've
got I don't know how you don't let hope of anything.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Thanks Peter.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
On the text someone who has not named themselves, he says,
a few weeks ago, mate and I were out fishing
just near Penguin island.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
A freak wave came flip the boat.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
We ended up in the ocean for about half an
hour before being rescued, And the only thing that worried
us was what was in the ocean.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Swimming under Yeah, trying not to think about it.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
You're trying not to think about it.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
But he sent her a photo and it does you know,
he's clinging onto the biocean is fairly choppy water around
it is if you're you know, in the water.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
After being in the it wasn't your choice to be
in the water. That's a very scary situation.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, you're in the drink because you're not You're not
knowing if it's going half an hour or seventeen.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
And your mind wonders if you've seen George Maria in
Hamilton Hill, what was your near death experience.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Going?
Speaker 7 (10:19):
What for us?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
So I reckon I'm a cat with nine lives.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, I was nearly electrocuted by a live wire walking
home from school as a kid.
Speaker 10 (10:31):
I've attempted drowning four times in my life.
Speaker 12 (10:34):
Right, and.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Yeah, tempted because I'm still here.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
And the last one was a near on head on
collision with a trap.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so I just realized that.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
I'm a cat.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Absolutely am I.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I'm going to go buy one hundred million dollar lotto
ticket for Thursday. Can you come with me? You get
the luck of the orish the lack of Maria.
Speaker 4 (11:08):

Speaker 5 (11:54):
You guys are legends. Honestly, they must have lost our
address to palace.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
You reckon, Ye're the only one. Pupping is up, but.
Speaker 13 (12:00):
Lockdown numbers the case. What about me coaching oz kick
like an AFL Grand Final? And I should get something
for losing my knees to footy president.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Winning club again on the weekend.
Speaker 13 (12:10):
Good to see Brian Cook elevated though the former Eagles.
Yes Gelong is that Geelong and Carlton as well. So
the game that won't win any accolades was the game
in Bunbury yesterday, so it shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Laugh at the Battle of Bunbury. I think great.
Speaker 13 (12:28):
I think the AFL's I think the tourism is going
to pay those teams just flip and get someone else
down there.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It got a bit Keystone cops at times.
Speaker 8 (12:37):
It was.
Speaker 13 (12:37):
They won by ten points obviously North Melbourne at the end,
but they in no situation did they deserve to win.
Incredibly in the first half least thirty nine inside fifties,
the most by any team this year.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Thirty nine inside fifties for how many goals.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Well yeah, it's the goal point ratio that was very disturbing,
isn't it.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
In the whole match.
Speaker 13 (12:59):
I think they had sixty three West Coast really and
they scored at twenty four percent. Normally it's at least fifty.
So he deserved to win. Actually, the rous captain if
you got that audio there clear the ruse captain. He
kicked the sealer joy Simpkin and after the match he
basically said they didn't deserve to win.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Yeah, just I think we deserve to win that game.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But mate, we'll take the four points.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
We'll come here on a mission to knock off the
Eagles and then they're going to put up a good
fight and that's what they did.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
And yeah, we're very lucky walkway for four points. Well
I got one last quarter.
Speaker 13 (13:32):
Nice honesty. A lot of North Melbourne fans down in Bunbury.
I was going to work it out, what do you all?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
It must be.
Speaker 13 (13:37):
Because the old days, you know, Russlyn Dinning and the Crackers, Cable,
Kevin Bryant, Peter Spencer.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Because it was a.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
North Melbourne home game, they would have got first DIBs,
wouldn't they on the Yeah.
Speaker 13 (13:51):
A few did fly in, you're right, But just around
there there's a lot of locals that follow North Melbourne.
Sleep we can a few, yea, So I reckon maybe
Eagles biggest following here Dockers and then maybe it's either
Carlton or North Melbourne. So yeah, it was a very
clever move to get North Melbourne.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Also a lot of loud Pies fans when played.
Speaker 13 (14:11):
Yeah, yeah, the Pies everywhere you can't get don't get
away from. I saw Hayden Young yesterday too.

amazing job promoting it.

The Sliders, ari Arian Titmas, the swimming Champ, Peter Dekos, Mark,
Tubby Taylor, really Servo Matt Shervington. So I'm trying to
work out it's supposed to be Aussie icons. So I
thought I thought Tubby Taylor would come down as a

(16:07):
And would sure come down as a lunch box, big
lunch box.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Maybe nice package. I noticed he's not on Sunrise this morning,
so he's preparing early, getting.

Wolverine or something.
Speaker 14 (16:26):

reckon maybe you might ular if you're allowed to.

The shod as an Aussie icon. Actually the swerve. Maybe

been completed.
Speaker 13 (17:00):
Go off the American girl. She's only twenty one. She
is going to be an absolute star, one of the
great sports names as well. She beat world number one
Arena Sablenka. Actually she was super emotional too, because she
doubted herself. I don't know why you would doubt herself.
She was here for the tennis that was here earlier
this year, and I met her a couple of times.
(17:20):
Just she's amazing, amazing athlete. But this is what she
said straight after winning first.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
I like to thank God for always keeping me covered.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I was going through a lot of things when I
lost in this final three years ago.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I'm just happy to be here.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
A lot of dark thoughts and just the fact that
I stay to it just means a lot to be here.
Speaker 13 (17:43):
So yeah, so if she's having dark thoughts, we're all
in trouble hard, So that was for you at least
that audio.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
So Nick Sinner an Escape from Alcatraz.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
That's a lot.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
I love that line.
Speaker 13 (17:55):
That's only used that on the news tonight. Actually got
the day off, but I'll use it somewhere Heed. But
I've just got to tell you quickly about Saberlenka. So
I don't know if it was an accent thing or
she's not a very gracious loser. But she said after
the match that she didn't lose because because Gorf played incredible.
She said it was because I made a lot of mistakes.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
That's more.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
The language a really damaging thing to say about it. Never,
it never goes well making a comment like that.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
She can get a bit, a bit sour.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
She did have seventy unforced errors. It sounds like you
and me having to hit some God.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yeah, but she don't say things.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
No, that's right, let's get to the main event.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Give us that line again, Lisa Janick Sinner in Escape
from Alcatraz.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
That's that's what he was hoping for, but he couldn't.
Speaker 13 (18:48):
French Open and the French Open Men's final between Carlos
al Karaz and Janixina it's being hailed as one of
the greatest tennis matches in tennis history. That's a big
cool because it was long. Our Koraz delivered a performance
for the ages. He was two sets down, he saved
three championship points. The match lasted five hours twenty nine minutes,
(19:09):
making the longest French Open final in history and the
second longest Grand Slam final ever.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
These people never saw John McEnroe play board. Jimmy Connors,
there's your greatest test matches ever.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
What about Raffa and.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
That was pretty good?
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Yeah, Sam Press Djokovic.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
The French has never gone this long because Rafa pretty.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Much well, Our Koraz said he was channeling Raffa. He
was thinking, I will win this because the Raffa like
the Raffa. I will fight like the Raffa or something
like that.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Anyway, that's an accent issue, he said, like our little
Julian word.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
We are looking for the pronunciation king.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
How do I see?
Speaker 13 (19:52):
Anyway, the final marked the first Grand Slam championship decided
by a ten point five set tiebreaker, so that was
historical as well. Get to have a look at that
if you can. Okay, supercars were in Perth brock Feenie
was the king there. I'll I'll just mention that eighty
three laps two hundred k's around wanner Roue.
Speaker 4 (20:09):

Speaker 5 (20:13):
Good question?
Speaker 13 (20:13):
I reckon he would be too. You're right, he's only
twenty two. It looks about forty two, but he's only
twenty two.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
If you're driving that fast for that long anyway, no
mirrors at my house. Luck, you're an oil you do
age quickly and that's funny.
Speaker 13 (20:27):
Window thanks or painting. And look, I wanted to mention
my favorite team, the West Coast Fever. I get a
tack for not doing enough on it.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Love the Fever.
Speaker 13 (20:36):
Seven straight wins since the return of their superstar Janil
Fowler New Part.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
They were amazing.
Speaker 13 (20:42):
They pumped the new South Wales Swifts, brought their big
winning streak to a screeching holt. They dismantled the ladder
leaders by eleven points in Sydney in front of eight
and a half thousand fans.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
And they are flying and we love the West Coast Fever.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
You love them so much your skin's starting to do.

Nine the women alleged that the actor and musician has
engaged in bad behavior for years. One of the women
said it's been an open secret for a long time,
and some of them say they were underage when Leto
allegedly took advantage of them. A representative Filetto says the
allegations are just demonstrably false. So Paul McCartney joined Bruce
(21:41):
Springsteen on stage in Liverpool on the weekend. The Boss
was playing the second of two shows at Anfield, the
home of the Liverpool Football Club, on Saturday night, and
during his en care he brought out the Beatle.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
I was reading an article online this morning with celebrities
talking about reasons they were rejected for roles, like Scarlet
Johnson was told she was too sexy for the lead
role in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I thought, well,
that must have made Nomi rapp Us, who got the role,
feel real good. Mindy Kaling recalls an audition where she
was rejected for not being attractive enough to play herself
(23:22):
on a sketch show. Elle Fanning says only recently she
was rejected from something for not having.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Enough Instagram followers God Help Us.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
And Maggie Gillenhall shared that she was told by a
Hollywood producer she was simply too old to play the
love interest opposite of fifty five year old man. She
was thirty seven at the time. Just a bit concerning
that these are all women, yet hardly surprising.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Me told you too sexy for a role? How bizarre
morning would you go?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Away, Chuff, more Clazi, more reason, more podcast. Soon we

Well you're about seven, so.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Well I did start very young, So you know that

think I'm thirteen when I did my first gi at
Morley High Yeah. Wow, so yeah, I still remember that.
We played six songs and I still remember most of them.
It's like it's funny where you start sometimes you still
carry that through through your career. But yet Molly High
about a thousand people in the school hall there and
(25:15):
then it went from there.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Popular with the girls being in a band.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Why you playing?
Speaker 8 (25:20):
Well, it didn't do any harm. The interesting thing is
my time I was fifteen, I was playing the Perth
pub circuit.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah you like diesel that geting stuck in the back
door because you were so young.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Yeah, well yeah, my parents says to drop me off
or I go with one of the older guys in
the band. But they kind of knew me, so I
was okay. But on Wednesday nights we used to do that.
We're talking about the girl thing. We should to do
this hotel called the Sterling Arms, yes, which is in Guildford. Yeah,
and Wednesday night they had stripper on so we'd player
set so you know, you get to know it's on
(25:58):
the girls. And I was so much into the the
band and the music that I'd go to school next
day and the guys and the girls will come up
to me and go, oh, so, who's a stip on
last night. How did that go?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
And?
Speaker 8 (26:08):
OK, well, I don't know, but we've played a great
version of come and Get Right.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
That's funny.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
So that's got how it went.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah. But you talk about the girls reaction at school,
but what were the boys like? You know, were the
few of the tough guys a bit upset that you're
getting all the attention?
Speaker 8 (26:26):
Not really because I didn't play up on it. But
I've still got friends from school now who some of
them play, some of them don't play music. And they
all said, well, the ones that don't play music, so
we will envy you. We wish we could have done
what you did, yeah, which I at the time never saw.
I just thought it was a normal thing to do.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
So enter the Flying Fond of Allies. Like so many
great bands. Half of the band was related, were they.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
There's two brothers in the band, yes, the drummer and
the piano player from Joe to Massey.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
So we started off in a garage in Balcata, right,
That's where we started off rehearsing. Yeah, And we used
to rehearse a tennis ten o'clock on Monday, and we
rehearsed ten to three or ten to two every day,
and then we got the band up enough so we
could play an hour set, and then we went and
did a support to Mental as Anything at the Raffles
(27:14):
and got a great reaction, and then we kept grat
the sing and got it up. In those days, you
had to play a three set gig in per three
minutes sets, so you had to have enough songs and
enough content to get you through. So that's what we
did and it just went from there. And interesting thing
with Mentals was I ended up joining the band years later.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Oh well, that's cool, that's very cool. I think of
the Flying Fonzias that I think of two words. I
think of fun and I think a party, because that's
what people just rocked up to see, you guys. Though
it wasn't it.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
It's a really really good musical band, but it was
also a fun band. Everyone could play well, but also
everyone could perform, and we had the attitude of like
you've got to go to work, make it fun, you know,
and that rubbed off to the audience and the band
worked hard. And yeah, so we had a really good
good run there in person.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
You know what I think of when I think do
our diddy Diddy dumb. Did that must have gone off
at the shows.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
Yes, I remember we actually recorded that song, and yeah,
I think I've got a big bit of action in
the first charts, and I remember doing two videos for it.
I don't know why we did two videos for that
one song, right, have recollection of doing two different videos.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
For it because there was so many.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
That was one of those songs I was dejaying at
the times, and it saved you saved your baking so
many times. I love that song.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Yeah, it doesn't fail, does Yeah, we have fun with
that and yeah I said that was eight ninety eighty
three to eighty five eighty sixth somewhere around there.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yep, absolutely, Well, everyone loved the shows because full house
signs used to go up before your gigs even began.
That's that's would have to be reassuring to head out
onto stage with. What were some of your favorite places
to play other than the Raffles.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
Well, the Raffles we played there every Saturday night any months,
I think to it. Well, okay, the house and the
only problem was when we start againt a lot of people,
you get to the gig and you can't park and
you it's still like that yes, we have to get
reserve parking or something. But when you know you're doing well,
Generator was. I grew up in Morley, so I was
(29:12):
Generator was was a was a home gig for me. Yeah,
that was pretty good. And I had a car at
a time, and I remember I didn't get out of
second year to get there.
Speaker 13 (29:21):
It was.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
In Petrol.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
It was just starting it up. And then there's different
times then and then looking by tel the overflow that
was always.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
So what are you doing now, Martin? You're still playing?
Speaker 8 (29:37):
I hadn't stopped to two the last thirty years. Yeah.
I moved to Sydney with a bank called Dave worn
of some suburbs.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (29:47):
Good. So after Pontarellis teamed up with Dave and we
were doing gigs and record We recorded a few albums
and then one time we're in Sydney and I thought
I'll just stay for a little bit, you know, maybe
a couple of months. And it went onto a year.
And I'm still based out of Sydney because the bands
that i'm with two are out of Sydney Airport, so
I have to be near that. But I've got to
(30:08):
come to Perth all the time. And remember I get
a few weeks here and they're still such a great place.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
And you mentioned Dave Warner, but you you've rubbed shoulders
and work with a lot of great people, including that
boke who wrote somebody of those great Skyhawks Melbourne epics,
Greg McCain's from Skyhawks as well.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Yes, it's spent a lot of time with Greg. We
toured together in the nineties as part of the show
and a band, and I see Greg quite regularly and
is still fame.
Speaker 9 (30:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Well, when you're in town, come visit Martin. It's been
lovely to chat to you this morning.

but we thought we'd concentrate on the Rifts today.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
Mike, Yes, yeah, lovely.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
Okay, what would you like to know?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Well, let's start with the name. Obviously a riff of
musical riff, was it?
Speaker 7 (31:59):
Oh no, it came It came from a movie detail.
Speaker 12 (32:04):
I think that it was about a gang of street
thugs and stuff and Barry Lytton sort of picked the
name and they were called the Rifts.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Okay. It was a west Side story.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
Yeah, it was very west Side story.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
More more than Boggies and Widgies at Scarboro. Yeah yeah, yeah, Parks.
I went through the Tragic Music Box yesterday and tragically
I found a gig ticket to the Angels Flowers and
Rifts Sunday, March one, nineteen anyway per Entertainment Center.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I remember that.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
It must have been a huge night to play at
the incend what I can remember.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
Yes, it was a very huge.
Speaker 9 (32:43):
You know.
Speaker 12 (32:44):
I mean we used to knock around with those the
boys from the Angels back in the sort of Jimmy
and the Boys days.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
Yeah, back in Sydney.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
But yeah, that was lots of fun.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
We were the regular haunts around town for the riffs.
I know you used to play the Herdy.
Speaker 12 (33:00):
Day session at the Subi. We played there quite a
bit down at the Cot. That was another sort of
gig Friday nights. Oh god where lots of the Albion
Hotel on Sterling Harway. That was a big one for us.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (33:15):
Yeah, lots of lots of those places have closed down
or they've stopped having a real shame.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, well the lands are worth too much. But is
it weird when you drive past some of the old
venues and then and they're not open anymore.
Speaker 7 (33:30):
Yeah, they're usually retirement diligious, that isn't it. The swan Born,
the Shed Hotel retirement.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
I keep saying, we've come full circle. Yes, I used
to go there for that, and now I can go
there for that.
Speaker 7 (33:46):

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Tell us about the band's last gig. It was pretty infamous.
Speaker 7 (33:52):

give me some remember a sum.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Of two Christmas gig. First and last Christmas show was
the Red Parrot.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
I think the Red.
Speaker 8 (34:06):
Parent that was.
Speaker 12 (34:09):
I don't know whether that was a reunion gig. It
might have been, might have been a reunion gig or
I'm just trying. I can't actually remember if it was
the last.

Yeah, but like.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
You were rip yeah, party you go.
Speaker 7 (34:32):

Speaker 12 (34:38):
It might have been one where Mick Oh was on
a We had him hooked up to a flying thing
that where he sort of came in.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
The red with the harness. That was it?
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Was it trying to be Pink years before Pink. That's
incredible moment. Was there any safety involved?
Speaker 7 (34:55):
No safety No, no, no, what is it?
Speaker 5 (34:58):
N h I you didn't have to.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Pass any kind of test beforehand.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
I think about the Red Parrot though. It was, as
I recall it was, it was a place where you
didn't show a great deal of emotion. You just sort
of you just swayed.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
You were you were all in black, and you just
kind of swayed a little from side to side.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
So that must have really woken up the audience.
Speaker 12 (35:19):
Yeah, well, there was a lot of those sort of
special things that people were sort of into back those days.
Had that sort of glazed look on their face.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, you were dancing like a lane from Seinfeld.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yes, that's the opposite a special thing, like a special
sandwich before the gig, baby.
Speaker 1 (35:36):

Speaker 7 (35:40):
We won't going that too further.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, Parksy, is it good when you catch up with
some of the guys and reminiscences at a bit of
that going on and you're all a bit too busy
in the world.
Speaker 12 (35:48):

thing off, he's in New Zealand, right, Yeah, he's said there.
Glenn White, the guitarist who was from Matt Finish that
