Garden show.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Phone in sick Jay.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
This is not a recognized particularly you know, a holiday
of sorts, a holiday of sorts when your phone in sick.
But it is a it's a day they celebrate mostly
in America, right, you know, let's not let that fact
stand in the way of a fun story, a fun
phone topic in fact, and ask if you've ever been busted.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Taking a sick day when you weren't sick.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Now it could be a problem.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I this, this was always.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
This is probably the reason why I don't chuck sickies,
because that is my worst nightmare.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
That been busted when you're not actually sick, like.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Those people have said, I've really got an issue of
going to go to the doctor. And then they were
all of a sudden seen during the forty eighth over.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
In the one day cricket that happened to a friend
of mine's saw him. We saw him on the telly.
It was meant to be at work.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think this does hark back to my school days.
I must have been a bit of a suck. I
never wagged school, not once ever in my whole life.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Shoes.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I was terrified at the consequences should I be caught.
It was easier to go to school than you know.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Go the wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It can't get very embarrassing, especially if you've spun a
web of lies to find your way to go and
do something.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
You did bump into someone from here once at the hairdressers.
It's not here anywhere. Funny she went white?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, did she go wartime white?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
She went all time white, which says to me she
knew she was not meant to be at the hairdressers
when she had said that she was home because she
had the flu.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah, anyway, I didn't say anything. It's close to say.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Talking, I feel like I'm coming down with something Friday.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
That's what you got to do. You got to set
it up. You've got to give it a bit.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Of well, ol lady used to do that out.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Some people, I mean some people do the setup. They
do that they it's an ash. Yes, I just can't
pull it off.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You have to do it with multiple people too. It
checks your acting.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Exactly exactly, and it's a wicked web that you weave.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
We have to know said yes exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I can't be bothered.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
That's I actually find it easier to just go to
work and to go to all the trouble of trying
to keep track of who's who's had, who have I
coughed on?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Who have I told one story to? Who have I
done this with?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You know, I just I'm got to be honest. There
are three certainties in my life. One is taxes, one
of course, of death later on, and one is at
four forty am seeing your car and the car pack.
So that's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I'm pretty good.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Brett and Boldarvis Hello.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Brett, Hey you going guys, you've been sprung yourself.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Good excuse, I think is to tell them that you've
got anal glad comer.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
You couldn't see your ass coming in today.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
It's a good, good way of putting it.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
How does that go down with you?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Do that email?
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Yeah, you can just bring them up seeing them a text.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I might try that one alright.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Have a good one, Judy and Helena Valley Hello, Hello,
What what happened was it to you?
Speaker 8 (03:57):
No?
Speaker 7 (03:58):
It was to get very dear for and I used
to work with.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
And he was Irish and every Saint Patrick's Day he
would take the day.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Off, go out and enjoy the crack, go out.
Speaker 9 (04:11):
And celebrate as the Irish do in the best way.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:15):
And he was interviewed on the news that night and
our boss saw it, so he had words with him
the next day.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
The next day. He would have really needed the day off.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I would imagine, especially sixteen, I would imagine.
Speaker 10 (04:37):
Yeah, they used to pull through.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
It's going to be a two day gastro for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But he did it every year, so the boss would.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Should not do it.
Speaker 9 (04:46):
Yeah, No, different different bosses.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yes, some bosses were.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
A bit more lenient.
Speaker 8 (04:57):
This one in particular, wasn't.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
You can't have the lack of the Irish just disappreciate it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That's when you need to have an Irish boss and
they'll be there drinking with you.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I don't know you to be on the news. Are
you taking a SICKI?
Speaker 10 (05:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And you get the choice. Do you want to? Will
you speak to us on the TV?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
To be sure? Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Steve in Orange Grove?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Hello, good morning all. How are we going there? Very well? Mate?
What do you got for us?
Speaker 10 (05:24):
Not myself, but my father told me years ago he
had a couple of apprentices that weren't quite up to speed.
One of the apprentices decided that he wanted the day off,
so he asked his mate to hit him on the
ankle with a hammer.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Oh my lo like that.
Speaker 10 (05:40):
He hurt himself at work, right, misery, So he did that.
Then he decided this bright spark decided that it didn't
look good enough, so can you hit him again? So
you hit him again on the ankle, and then he
actually found out that he broke his ankle and he had.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
A month off work.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Oh no, got to be careful what you wished for?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Did too goot a job?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
So?
Speaker 10 (06:02):
Yes, she had they work quite up to speak, these
two apprentices.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
No, that's ankle Carmer sort.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Of, isn't it. I don't know, and it is a
bit like this movie Misery. I know, feel ill.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
That's fair.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I'm the biggest man.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Thanks my pleasure, Carlin Champion.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Lake says, back in nineteen ninety three, when I was
still in high school in Singapore, Metallica had a gig
and I was not going to miss it. I was
so pumped up that I had my mum call to
tell the teacher I had a bad sinus infection on
the day of the concert and wouldn't be in the
next day as well.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Something wide.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Absolutely, I guess what bumped into my form teacher at
the gig.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
No, but it was Metallica and everyone there were rebels,
so she laughed it off.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, are you with the black T shirt?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
It doesn't matter, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Sean and Bolldivers, Hello, was it you.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
That based it?
Speaker 9 (07:01):
Yes, it was, yeah, yeah, that's right. Back in two
thousand and three, I don't know if you guys recall
there was SARS. It was like before COVID you had, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's right. Anyway, so I was backpacking in Toronto and
that was one of the first cities that were hit.
So anyway, I was working the call center. It was
a dead end job and they had basically a constants
(07:21):
to bring people back to the to the city. It
was headlined by the Rolling Stones. Yeah, justin Timberlake, a CDC,
the whole lot. So I chucked the sickie to go
to it. And it was at an old it was
at an old airport or something. So I got burnt
to a Chris Yeah, and then turned up the next
day and it was pretty obvious where I'd been, so yeah,
(07:42):
now I got the flick.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Unfortunately it was yeah, well you know, like you rocked,
couldn't so you fell asleep in the sun bed at
the beach.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
For twelve hours.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, you would have been like a lobster. That's crazy.
Speaker 10 (07:59):
Yeah, I was, Yeah, I ate something weird, had a
reaction rock.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Thanks Sean, Thanks guys, tke care trying to Nolamara. What happened?
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Hi, guys. I work in mining, so obviously you work
the weekends and sort of work gets in the way
of watching the West Coast Eagles play.
Speaker 10 (08:20):
On a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
I always used to call in sick and it sort
of got around the office that that you know, if
if the Eagles are on that that I wouldn't be
at work. But that's not the problem. The problem was that,
you know, because I was getting around, I thought, oh
I better, I better go into work. So I rocked
up to work on the day the Eagles were playing,
(08:43):
and the boss was like, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
What do you mean?
Speaker 6 (08:46):
He's like, well, you know, the Eagles are on, so
I haven't planned you any work.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Set it up great.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Did you have a Telly in the office.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, no, no, no Telly.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
But like I sa, I'm probably the only person that's
ever been abused for turning up to work.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, nothing for you to do.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Got around it, yeah, absolutely, Thanks to Katherine Denise Frumantle.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
Hello, good morning. My confession I was. I attended raw
Pervocht Club on the last race of the America's Cup
with myself and three girlfriends. I want to tell you
how I broke into that. Was there the whole night brag.
(09:34):
We finally got home after we won at about eight
o'clock in the morning, Mum rang the business college I
was attending at the time to say, oh, I'm terribly sorry,
but Catherine is sick today. Didn't go into business one
of the teachers come up to me and said, oh,
are you feeling better? Captaine. I said, oh, yes, it
(09:55):
was just a twenty four hour thing, and she goes, yeah,
you probably needed some sleep. I saw you on the
television at about four o'clock in the morning and I
just went, oh, my god, bunted.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
To be fair, you did have a note from the
Prime Minister that.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
Morning exactly, but I also I also used my Brothers
out of Port membership card actually.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Did do the in.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
But we won't we won't talk talk about that one.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
You're looking all these years later. It's a great story
and great the flick with Benow the Morning Van.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Good morning, guys.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
We've got a new Marvel movie to talk about today.
And the studio, which is owned by Disney these days,
has struggled in recent years, if we're being honest, really
ever since Avengers Endgame a few years ago, when you
know they knocked off Robert Downey Junior.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Big mistake, but Julia.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
A huge, huge, absolutely iron man who was rubbed out.
Captain America Chris Evans also gone, So you lost two
of the biggest stars in the Marvel cinematic universe.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
And they were alway in terms of Marvel v DC,
Marvel was the big one, wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah, Marvel Marvel was the big one thing because they
always had a sense of fun about them, and a
lot of that was down to Robert Downey Jr. As
Iron Man, Like he was such an incredible character that
everybody loved. And of course you have Chris Hemsworth as
thor Scarlet Johansson as the Black Widow. They also killed
her off and so so you really lost a lot
of the favorite characters. And ever since then they've been
(11:35):
trying to muddle through with this kind of B grade
cast of characters that don't really have that real brand
name value. As they kind of build towards this next
phase putting together a new team of Avengers, and it
all really really went off the rails when their their villain,
(11:57):
you know, was had some of off screen issue us
with domestic abuse and stuff like that. So they kind
of had to rejig their whole plot for five films,
and it probably started to turn around with Deadpool and Wolverine.
So when they brought the X Men and Deadpool over
into the Marvel cinematic universe, and Deadpool obviously is such
(12:17):
a big hit. You know, they thought, Okay, maybe we
can get this back on track. But ever since then,
there's been a couple of movies that just haven't been
very successful. Most recently it was the New Captain America film,
which was just not good at all, that had Harrison
Ford as a sort of a red Hulk. But along
comes Thunderbolts, this movie that a lot of people maybe
don't know much about. It's kind of like a ragtag
(12:39):
bunch of anti heroes that all come together to save
the world, I guess. And it stars the great Florence Pugh,
who is Scarlett Johansson's character's sister, Elna, who we saw
her in the Black Widow movie as this sort of
child assassin who's grown up kind of escaped the evil
(12:59):
peace that she worked for and now she's kind of
a good guy and she is this secret operative of
Julia Louis Dravis's character.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
The director cast is it's a huge it's.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
A huge cast, and so Julia Luis Dreyfus plays Director
Fontaine of the CIA, and so she runs this kind
of black ops situation where they like basically going around
erasing some of the stuff that the CIA did that
they're not too proud of that might come back and
bite Julia Luis Dreyfus on the butt in this kind
of senate hearing. So she's got Florence Pugh off kind
(13:32):
of like blowing up secret laboratories where they're doing stuff.
White Teller, he's off a White Russell. Sorry, so the
son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Horn. Unfortunately for him,
he got the you know, the worst characteristics of both
of them, two of the most beautiful people in the world,
but still is a great actor.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
And so White Russell.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
He's also he plays kind of like a poor man's
Captain America who is again on the mission to clean
up some of these messes.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And then when a few of these kind of black
operatives all get tasked with cleaning up the same lab,
they realize that they've been sent to kill each other
by Julia Louis Dreyfus. She's double cross them, and so
then they go, Okay, what are the options here? Do
we actually fight each other to the death, or maybe
this unlikely bunch of misfits could join up and form
a team. And if you watch Black Widow, you would
(14:21):
remember that Florence's Pew's dad was David Harbor from Stranger Things,
who plays this Russian super soldier called the Red Guardian
basically like Santa with superpowers. Also is hilarious, he's actually amazing,
and so they agreed to kind of team up to
fight against the CIA and this new villain that emerges
(14:42):
along the way, and they call themselves the Thunderbolts because
that's the name of Florence Pugh's pee weee soccer team.
They never won a game, but they were really plucky
and they have a big argument over who sponsored the team.
They trying to remember back to the day. Was it
Shane's Tires or was it Dimitri's Discount Electronic. And so
it's the sort of film that has, I guess, plenty
(15:04):
of action. It's got a decent amount of humor to
it as well, some genuinely funny scenes because if Florence
and David Harbot, they're great actors and they're really good
at that, and of course we know Julia Louis Drefus
is so good.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
But also the thing that surprised me quite a bit
of heart to it as well, because some of these
movies get too carried away with their you know, saving
the universe multiverse kind of rubbish that's hard to keep
track of. This really focuses on the world's inside people,
and there's a big kind of mental health thing, which
you might think, is there a place for mental health
in a Marvel blockbuster? This film kind of does it
(15:39):
pretty well. Okay, surprisingly world Asbastian Stan in it at
Sebastian and I love him.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
She had a big gear last year.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh huge year. Yeah, playing Donald Trump doesn't get much
bigeran that. There's one particular sequence in this film with
Sebastian Stan. You know those hero moments where that the
music is swelling and someone comes along to to save
the day. In this one scene, who is it Sebastian
Stan on a motorbike with his wrap around sunglasses it is.
That scene is very good. So there's a few scenes
like that where you just go, do you know what
(16:07):
that just kicked by Harrison Ford?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Like a little cameos.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
And the post and the great and the post post
credit sequence as well, that fit hints at some pretty
exciting stuff. Okay forward, So so I probably after seeing
this film feel more positive about the Marvel cinematic universe that.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I have in a long time with a beautiful, deep voice.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Well, the big question is how many thunderbottomed lightnings, very
very frightenings are you giving it?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Can we get just one?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Three and a half?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Oh okay, it's aggressive, not just solid, not just the
cast alone. Got some hearts, more crazy, more podcasts soon.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
The Perth Garden Show is on at McCallum Park in
Victoria Park from tomorrow until Sunday. For tickets and all
the information, you can check out perthgardenshow dot com dot au.
Landscape designer and presenter on Channel sevens Better Homes and Gardens,
Ali Albon is one of the headliners and he's with
us now.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
Hello, Hello, Hello, how are you guys?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Good?
Speaker 7 (17:07):
I never thought I'd be referred to as a headliner.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
You are, absolutely and it's super Bowl for plant lovers.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
It is the super Bowl for plant lovers. Absolutely really
looking forward to coming over and seeing the gardeners of Perth.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
You are Taylor Swift mate, So what are you going
to be doing whilst you're here? What's your sort of
role across the weekend?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
So I will be at the show all weekend. I'm
going to be at the Rich Grow Knowledge Center I'm
giving away all of my knowledge, so come and test me.
I'm doing talks twice a day. Yeah, just any questions
you've got, come and ask.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I mean people must have got you must go to
a dinner party and it'd be worse than a doctor
when people say, I've got this momp.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Can you just have a look this plant and the
leaf is going brown?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I mean you must get people after you for unsolicited
or solicited advice regularly.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Yeah, dinner parties are a bit of a nightmare for that.
But also even going to the hardware store. I can't
go to the hardware store now without at least giving
about an hour and a half of my time because
people come up and ask questions and I have to
take them to show them what they need to buy.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And yeah, should be paid for that, mate. Power of
TV though they all know who you are.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Ye, not complaining.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Do you find that the knowledge of general knowledge of people? Now,
of course we've got the internet the rest of it,
but the general knowledge of people with so many shows
is much higher, and they know like a hell of
a lot.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
People do know a lot, which is great. You know,
there was I don't know if you remember the time
of COVID, but we got into gardening. You know, people
really did get behind it and really saw the benefits
of it and increase their own personal knowledge, which is
a great thing. You know, when people are interested in gardening,
they're happy to tell each other about it and make
(18:51):
sure that everyone can do it. It's not like this
is something I can do and I'm not going to
tell you how to do it. People are really into
it and really happy to share their knowledge.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
So I love it.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Well.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
The weather is finally cooling down now, which means you
sort of feel more inspired to get out in the
garden because it's not so hot. But then again, I
often think, but what do you do at this time
of the year. You're meant to wait until spring to
do stuff. What can you do going into winter?
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Now is the best time of year to be out
in the garden because, like you said, it's getting cooler,
but the soil is still nice and warm. So if
you're thinking of planting a hedge or planting out a garden,
now is the time.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
To do it.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
It will establish really well up into winter, and then
come spring it will just go gangbusters, so you can
get into the veggie patch too. You can get into
all the brassicas, the cauliflowers, the broccolis, all of that
stuff that needs to be planted now. So there is
plenty you can do.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
A lot of people downsizing as well, Charlie. Of course,
with what's going on with housing, a lot of people
getting smaller places. So there's a lot of small gardens,
balconies and courtyards, and I would imagine that's a whole
new business in itself.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
Absolutely it is. You know, the small space gardening is
massive at the moment, and you don't actually need to
have any soil to be a gardener. You can grow
in pots, you can grow and grow, so there's lots
you can do to get a bit of greenery in
your life.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, sometimes having a smaller space is easier than than
a gigantic space.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
You know, you can really bespoke it.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Yeah, absolutely. You start to think about every single tiny
detail and you can make something look really really special
if it's small, whereas if it's a big, big garden
it can be a little bit overwhelming in you often, yes,
forgetting the detail because of the size.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Bloody weeds as well, they drove me crazy, there is that.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, Well, the place to be to get all the
tips for a garden big or small is the Perth
Garden Show. It's McCallum Parking, Vic Park from tomorrow until Sunday. Charlie,
thanks for joining us.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
We'll see you.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
There my pleasure.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
Yep, see you there guys.
Speaker 1 (20:39):

A fresh scandal is brewing in one of TV's most
iconic streets with Steria Lane. An offshoot of Desperate Housewives
is currently in.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
The works, so the news series will be a reimagining
of the original that ran from eight seasons from two
thousand and four to twenty twelve.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
These people need to understand what imagination means, because it's
not really reimagined. And once again, it's just going to
center around five very different friends slash front of me,
who all live on a picture perfect could attack called
Wisteria Lane.

More Cleazya, more podcasts soon. Tickets are available through ticke
Tech for David Gray on his Past and Present tour
November four and five at the Riverside Theater, and David
is with us this morning.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
Hello, Hello there, David.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
This album Dear Life, it's been a while in the
making because it was interrupted by things like oh, COVID.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Yeah, that's right. The whole process was rather cuncated by
a massive stop in the middle. So in the end,
I think it actually enriched the creative part of the record.
I think that whatever silence came to rain during that
strange sort of maroon time when we're all found its
way into the lyrics somehow, So there was a bit
(24:07):
of sort of contemplative enrichment that happened from just stopping
the world and having a good old look at what
was there. So it's got something a bit extra, I
think this record as a result.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
But on this tour are we going to hear quite
a bit of the album because some beautiful things on
there that the song would tellier, right, is just a
gym amongst others.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Yeah, that's right. Well, we're using quite a lot of
the record live on the tour, but mixed in with
the it's these songs are big enough to stand up
for themselves, so they're in amongst all the big old songs,
the Babylons and sailor ways and what have you. And yeah,
it's been a real great mix so far. We've had
(24:47):
a fantastic tour since we started in January. We're also
kind of deep diving into some of the back catalog
in quite a significant way that we've played nearly seventy
songs on the so fast So it's it's it's a
bit of an epic it's an epic show. We're going
to try and cram it all in you old and
the neglected fruits of the past. So yeah, exactly two hours,
(25:11):
maybe fifteen, two hours twenty each night. It's a long gig.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Well, I mean, there's a few songs you wouldn't get
out of live if you didn't do I mean, I
mean Babylon. I'd barricade the doors if you didn't do Babylon.
Dave An, What is it about that song that is
my I was on a road trip just the other
day and I think I played it three times during
the three hour course of the trip, because it's just
(25:36):
it's one of the most beautiful melodic songs out there.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
It's an uplifting kind of tune, and it's hard to
write something that lifts you up without being kind of corny.
One the toupist one's to find. But there was something
about that track that just obviously did it. Really it clicked.
It sounds just just enough sweetness and just enough kind
(26:03):
of interest to keep it interesting. So it's not too sweet,
you know. So yeah, it has an atmosphere, but it
has an energy to it. Yeah, the crowd love it
somesly got a very big chorus that gets me singing.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah, Well, thank you, because it is a beautiful.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
In fact, you have the ability to lift us up,
made in so many ways. Every of those love songs
another one I love and this is love without the corn.
You avoid the corn. It's quite a skill.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Which it occasionally creeps in there. It's waiting for every song.
Try and I try not to lash it onto to.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Sometimes one man's corn is another man's not.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
The line exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, David, you said that the You've really enjoyed the
tour so far, and I'm loving some of your little
reviews of some of your own you know, the crowd
and that on Instagram lightly But the Royal or Albert Hall,
what is that like with a full horn section? As
a musician as you are, that must be a joy.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
That was an amazing gig. I mean, I've played the
Royal alb all before, but never like this. It's just
some nights, I don't know. Everyone was in the mood.
We had a full horn section. We decided to treat
ourselves with some amazing arrangements from the new record, and
we wanted to actually get the actual horn players who
played on the record to play with us. So that
(27:28):
was such a treat. But the audience were incredible. We
sold the choir stores that we had people all around us.
It was a three sixty experience and it was very
great immersive experience. But they it looked amazing in there,
it sounded amazing, and everyone just went nut. You know.
It was the best of both worlds. They listened when
(27:50):
it went quiet, they really tuned in, dialed in focus,
and then were absolutely crazy when the big songs came.
So we had one of the best gigs of the tour,
best gigs ever. Really, it was. It lived forever in
the memory.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
That was You are.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
About to kick off the European leg of the tour
this week. Where in Europe outside of the UK do
you find the fans do go?
Speaker 5 (28:13):
The madness for you varies, but obviously Ireland, I'd say
you have some head and shoulders above everywhere else that
they're pretty mad for it over there. So we've got
a string of Irish shows coming up and then some
more later in the years, but they'll always be lively.
We've done a couple already and they were pretty they
(28:35):
were pretty full on. Yeah, I've got I've got another
Dublin this week. The Limericks and outdoors in Limerick in May.
That sounds like you're going to get very wet, but
actually I think the weather in a kind sows And
we've done We've done Belgium, Holland, and we went up
(28:56):
to Copenhagen as well. We just then Mark. We've been
kind of going around the place. We've had an amazing reaction.
I mean in Europe, I don't get over there as much.
So it's always got a special atmosphere because I just
don't think people take it for ground in the same way,
and they take the gig very seriously. It's like you've
actually turned up. They really dial ins. I'm always coming
(29:17):
through Dublin and London, but over there not f much.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Well, you're certainly busy, mate. But when you finally get
a spell and get a bit of time at time,
what do you do you do? Jams or pickling or
something at home? What else are you up to when
you when you get home?
Speaker 5 (29:28):
I have I have my traditional jam made a family tradition,
so I'm holding okay, I'm you know, from my grandparents.
I'm keeping that one going. In the autumn, I will
make BlackBerry jelly definitely lovely. Yeah, I'm like I've had
my first sea swims of the year, so my scenes
and stretches from from well, I actually went in in March,
(29:51):
but it's normally April for the end of October, that
would be my sea swimming. So I like to get
on the beach and you know, into the brac ocean.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
And it makes you feel alive.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
It's amazing. It's absolutely amazing. After that first couple of
minutes of sheer panic that you think you're gonna have
a half a seme then then when when when the
engine kicks in and the whole body starts, that's the
central heating up. It's it's just incredible. It is amazing.
For that's how I am winded. But I love nature.
I like to get down to the coast and get
(30:27):
onto the beach and whatever. So and so that's basically
what I'll be up to. I'm actually gonna be when
I come off the road. I'm actually going back in
the studio, if I'm completely honest, because I've I've got
another sort of records to finish that I started before COVID.
So your life is chapter one.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Well, you're in Perth in November, so that's good beach
weather here and of course we you know, we have
a we have a nice.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Beach or two you got.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been around. I've done a couple
of them, so I'll definitely be going in if if
we've got a couple of days, I'll definitely be jumping in.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, especially when you get out and there's nice and warm, beautiful.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Well the Riverside Theater there are two shows. November four
is almost sold out, so the November five show was
recently added and you can get your tickets through ticket Tech.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
We look forward to having you in town again, David.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Yeah, well we had a great time last time the
Australian tour and three nights of merriment and jollity with
a very cold south wind that was blowing up seasonably.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Okay, it didn't.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Damp the spirits that that was during the White lad
I say, last time we were there indoors. Yeah, I
think it will be amazing. So this tour is going
to be a good one.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Maybe not quite as rowdy as the Dublin crowd, but
you've put in as well. We'll have a crack the crack.
Look forward to hearing your voice.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
All right, bye, Okay, right.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I left home at exactly ten past four this morning.
And the road leading to where I'm heading to the
main road is a winding a bit of a windy
affair near our place. It's not exactly a really bright
part of town either, like as in lit very well.
I call it the shortened winding road, and I'll have
that song stuck in my head all day. And you
may too, uniforms. But the shortened winding road this morning
(32:21):
was full of action because I got to I got
about a meter and a half out of my garage
and bin day. At our place, you put the bins
out Tuesday night for a Wednesday pickup, but the neighbors,
some of our neighbors had not put their bins in,
so I drove almost right into someone's bin, expecting everyone's
been to be in. Okay, first of the ziggs, I'll
get out of that. I get out of the lane way,
(32:41):
negotiate the bin traffic, get out of the lane way.
And I never see this near our place. There's a
man in dark clothing crossing the road on the first corner.
So I'm about to turn the corner and this guy
in the middle of the road and he's walking like
walking all the way across the road. Now he sees
me coming and he gets a little little thing and
he stepped going and that kind of stuff. So I
(33:02):
negotiate him. So that's the zag, only to find there's
a gray cat in the middle of the road right
in front of me, and I wait, what's going on.
I think there's zig zag zigzag. I'm thinking, what's going on?
Someone's trying to test me here. I managed to negotiate
much of the rest of the drive on the way
and to work without any zigging or zagging until a
cabby you know how I said the lights were on
(33:23):
at that Balllue bridge, the a new bridge. A Cabby decided,
I don't know why there was no traffic round to
change lanes and pull right in front of me another
zig and I went, okay, I think it's over. I'm
about a minute a half from work. I get to
work and you know, our gate opens up once, so
I do the tag and then I'm about I reckon.
I missed one of our cleaners, Jesse, by about a meter,
(33:45):
because she decided to get out of a car and
run to the door because she was right. I think
she was running late. Can you come and pick me
up tomorrow and drive me to work. Do you mind
driving down to Free.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I think this is actually what people like to describe
on a Facebook clear as first world problems.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Exactly exactly take it everywhere, go. Yeah, I'm not saying
that the worst. The problem is just to see so
many people at that time of the morning out and
about just happened to be fair.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
One was a cat and one was a bin.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
One was a bin. Yeah, yeah, the bin didn't have
much saying. The cat was just looking for something to eat,
looking for a bird, and it's hard to find sharing that. Yeah, no,

This morning we took calls on chucking sick He's good luck.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
With us, and Charlie Albone talks about this weekend's Perth
Garden show.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Phone in sick Jay.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
This is not a recognized particularly you know, a holiday
of sorts, a holiday of sorts when your phone in sick.
But it is a it's a day they celebrate mostly
in America, right, you know, let's not let that fact
stand in the way of a fun story, a fun
phone topic in fact, and ask if you've ever been busted.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Taking a sick day when you weren't sick.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Now it could be a problem.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I this, this was always.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
This is probably the reason why I don't chuck sickies,
because that is my worst nightmare.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
That been busted when you're not actually sick, like.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Those people have said, I've really got an issue of
going to go to the doctor. And then they were
all of a sudden seen during the forty eighth over.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
In the one day cricket that happened to a friend
of mine's saw him. We saw him on the telly.
It was meant to be at work.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think this does hark back to my school days.
I must have been a bit of a suck. I
never wagged school, not once ever in my whole life.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Shoes.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I was terrified at the consequences should I be caught.
It was easier to go to school than you know.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Go the wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It can't get very embarrassing, especially if you've spun a
web of lies to find your way to go and
do something.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
You did bump into someone from here once at the hairdressers.
It's not here anywhere. Funny she went white?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, did she go wartime white?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
She went all time white, which says to me she
knew she was not meant to be at the hairdressers
when she had said that she was home because she
had the flu.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah, anyway, I didn't say anything. It's close to say.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Talking, I feel like I'm coming down with something Friday.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
That's what you got to do. You got to set
it up. You've got to give it a bit.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Of well, ol lady used to do that out.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Some people, I mean some people do the setup. They
do that they it's an ash. Yes, I just can't
pull it off.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You have to do it with multiple people too. It
checks your acting.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Exactly exactly, and it's a wicked web that you weave.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
We have to know said yes exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I can't be bothered.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
That's I actually find it easier to just go to
work and to go to all the trouble of trying
to keep track of who's who's had, who have I
coughed on?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Who have I told one story to? Who have I
done this with?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You know, I just I'm got to be honest. There
are three certainties in my life. One is taxes, one
of course, of death later on, and one is at
four forty am seeing your car and the car pack.
So that's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I'm pretty good.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Brett and Boldarvis Hello.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Brett, Hey you going guys, you've been sprung yourself.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Good excuse, I think is to tell them that you've
got anal glad comer.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
You couldn't see your ass coming in today.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
It's a good, good way of putting it.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
How does that go down with you?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Do that email?
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Yeah, you can just bring them up seeing them a text.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Have a good one, Judy and Helena Valley Hello, Hello,
What what happened was it to you?
Speaker 8 (03:57):
No?
Speaker 7 (03:58):
It was to get very dear for and I used
to work with.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
And he was Irish and every Saint Patrick's Day he
would take the day.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Off, go out and enjoy the crack, go out.
Speaker 9 (04:11):
And celebrate as the Irish do in the best way.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:15):
And he was interviewed on the news that night and
our boss saw it, so he had words with him
the next day.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
The next day. He would have really needed the day off.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I would imagine, especially sixteen, I would imagine.
Speaker 10 (04:37):
Yeah, they used to pull through.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
It's going to be a two day gastro for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But he did it every year, so the boss would.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Should not do it.
Speaker 9 (04:46):
Yeah, No, different different bosses.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yes, some bosses were.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
A bit more lenient.
Speaker 8 (04:57):
This one in particular, wasn't.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
You can't have the lack of the Irish just disappreciate it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That's when you need to have an Irish boss and
they'll be there drinking with you.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I don't know you to be on the news. Are
you taking a SICKI?
Speaker 10 (05:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And you get the choice. Do you want to? Will
you speak to us on the TV?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
To be sure? Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Steve in Orange Grove?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Hello, good morning all. How are we going there? Very well? Mate?
What do you got for us?
Speaker 10 (05:24):
Not myself, but my father told me years ago he
had a couple of apprentices that weren't quite up to speed.
One of the apprentices decided that he wanted the day off,
so he asked his mate to hit him on the
ankle with a hammer.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Oh my lo like that.
Speaker 10 (05:40):
He hurt himself at work, right, misery, So he did that.
Then he decided this bright spark decided that it didn't
look good enough, so can you hit him again? So
you hit him again on the ankle, and then he
actually found out that he broke his ankle and he had.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
A month off work.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Oh no, got to be careful what you wished for?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Did too goot a job?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
So?
Speaker 10 (06:02):
Yes, she had they work quite up to speak, these
two apprentices.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
No, that's ankle Carmer sort.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Of, isn't it. I don't know, and it is a
bit like this movie Misery. I know, feel ill.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
That's fair.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I'm the biggest man.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Thanks my pleasure, Carlin Champion.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Lake says, back in nineteen ninety three, when I was
still in high school in Singapore, Metallica had a gig
and I was not going to miss it. I was
so pumped up that I had my mum call to
tell the teacher I had a bad sinus infection on
the day of the concert and wouldn't be in the
next day as well.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Something wide.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Absolutely, I guess what bumped into my form teacher at
the gig.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
No, but it was Metallica and everyone there were rebels,
so she laughed it off.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, are you with the black T shirt?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
It doesn't matter, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Sean and Bolldivers, Hello, was it you.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
That based it?
Speaker 9 (07:01):
Yes, it was, yeah, yeah, that's right. Back in two
thousand and three, I don't know if you guys recall
there was SARS. It was like before COVID you had, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's right. Anyway, so I was backpacking in Toronto and
that was one of the first cities that were hit.
So anyway, I was working the call center. It was
a dead end job and they had basically a constants
(07:21):
to bring people back to the to the city. It
was headlined by the Rolling Stones. Yeah, justin Timberlake, a CDC,
the whole lot. So I chucked the sickie to go
to it. And it was at an old it was
at an old airport or something. So I got burnt
to a Chris Yeah, and then turned up the next
day and it was pretty obvious where I'd been, so yeah,
(07:42):
now I got the flick.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Unfortunately it was yeah, well you know, like you rocked,
couldn't so you fell asleep in the sun bed at
the beach.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
For twelve hours.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, you would have been like a lobster. That's crazy.
Speaker 10 (07:59):
Yeah, I was, Yeah, I ate something weird, had a
reaction rock.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Thanks Sean, Thanks guys, tke care trying to Nolamara. What happened?
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Hi, guys. I work in mining, so obviously you work
the weekends and sort of work gets in the way
of watching the West Coast Eagles play.
Speaker 10 (08:20):
On a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
I always used to call in sick and it sort
of got around the office that that you know, if
if the Eagles are on that that I wouldn't be
at work. But that's not the problem. The problem was that,
you know, because I was getting around, I thought, oh
I better, I better go into work. So I rocked
up to work on the day the Eagles were playing,
(08:43):
and the boss was like, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
What do you mean?
Speaker 6 (08:46):
He's like, well, you know, the Eagles are on, so
I haven't planned you any work.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Set it up great.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Did you have a Telly in the office.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, no, no, no Telly.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
But like I sa, I'm probably the only person that's
ever been abused for turning up to work.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, nothing for you to do.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Got around it, yeah, absolutely, Thanks to Katherine Denise Frumantle.
Speaker 8 (09:14):
Hello, good morning. My confession I was. I attended raw
Pervocht Club on the last race of the America's Cup
with myself and three girlfriends. I want to tell you
how I broke into that. Was there the whole night brag.
(09:34):
We finally got home after we won at about eight
o'clock in the morning, Mum rang the business college I
was attending at the time to say, oh, I'm terribly sorry,
but Catherine is sick today. Didn't go into business one
of the teachers come up to me and said, oh,
are you feeling better? Captaine. I said, oh, yes, it
(09:55):
was just a twenty four hour thing, and she goes, yeah,
you probably needed some sleep. I saw you on the
television at about four o'clock in the morning and I
just went, oh, my god, bunted.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
To be fair, you did have a note from the
Prime Minister that.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
Morning exactly, but I also I also used my Brothers
out of Port membership card actually.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Did do the in.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
But we won't we won't talk talk about that one.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
You're looking all these years later. It's a great story
and great the flick with Benow the Morning Van.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Good morning, guys.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
We've got a new Marvel movie to talk about today.
And the studio, which is owned by Disney these days,
has struggled in recent years, if we're being honest, really
ever since Avengers Endgame a few years ago, when you
know they knocked off Robert Downey Junior.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Big mistake, but Julia.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
A huge, huge, absolutely iron man who was rubbed out.
Captain America Chris Evans also gone, So you lost two
of the biggest stars in the Marvel cinematic universe.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
And they were alway in terms of Marvel v DC,
Marvel was the big one, wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah, Marvel Marvel was the big one thing because they
always had a sense of fun about them, and a
lot of that was down to Robert Downey Jr. As
Iron Man, Like he was such an incredible character that
everybody loved. And of course you have Chris Hemsworth as
thor Scarlet Johansson as the Black Widow. They also killed
her off and so so you really lost a lot
of the favorite characters. And ever since then they've been
(11:35):
trying to muddle through with this kind of B grade
cast of characters that don't really have that real brand
name value. As they kind of build towards this next
phase putting together a new team of Avengers, and it
all really really went off the rails when their their villain,
(11:57):
you know, was had some of off screen issue us
with domestic abuse and stuff like that. So they kind
of had to rejig their whole plot for five films,
and it probably started to turn around with Deadpool and Wolverine.
So when they brought the X Men and Deadpool over
into the Marvel cinematic universe, and Deadpool obviously is such
(12:17):
a big hit. You know, they thought, Okay, maybe we
can get this back on track. But ever since then,
there's been a couple of movies that just haven't been
very successful. Most recently it was the New Captain America film,
which was just not good at all, that had Harrison
Ford as a sort of a red Hulk. But along
comes Thunderbolts, this movie that a lot of people maybe
don't know much about. It's kind of like a ragtag
(12:39):
bunch of anti heroes that all come together to save
the world, I guess. And it stars the great Florence Pugh,
who is Scarlett Johansson's character's sister, Elna, who we saw
her in the Black Widow movie as this sort of
child assassin who's grown up kind of escaped the evil
(12:59):
peace that she worked for and now she's kind of
a good guy and she is this secret operative of
Julia Louis Dravis's character.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
The director cast is it's a huge it's.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
A huge cast, and so Julia Luis Dreyfus plays Director
Fontaine of the CIA, and so she runs this kind
of black ops situation where they like basically going around
erasing some of the stuff that the CIA did that
they're not too proud of that might come back and
bite Julia Luis Dreyfus on the butt in this kind
of senate hearing. So she's got Florence Pugh off kind
(13:32):
of like blowing up secret laboratories where they're doing stuff.
White Teller, he's off a White Russell. Sorry, so the
son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Horn. Unfortunately for him,
he got the you know, the worst characteristics of both
of them, two of the most beautiful people in the world,
but still is a great actor.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
And so White Russell.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
He's also he plays kind of like a poor man's
Captain America who is again on the mission to clean
up some of these messes.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And then when a few of these kind of black
operatives all get tasked with cleaning up the same lab,
they realize that they've been sent to kill each other
by Julia Louis Dreyfus. She's double cross them, and so
then they go, Okay, what are the options here? Do
we actually fight each other to the death, or maybe
this unlikely bunch of misfits could join up and form
a team. And if you watch Black Widow, you would
(14:21):
remember that Florence's Pew's dad was David Harbor from Stranger Things,
who plays this Russian super soldier called the Red Guardian
basically like Santa with superpowers. Also is hilarious, he's actually amazing,
and so they agreed to kind of team up to
fight against the CIA and this new villain that emerges
(14:42):
along the way, and they call themselves the Thunderbolts because
that's the name of Florence Pugh's pee weee soccer team.
They never won a game, but they were really plucky
and they have a big argument over who sponsored the team.
They trying to remember back to the day. Was it
Shane's Tires or was it Dimitri's Discount Electronic. And so
it's the sort of film that has, I guess, plenty
(15:04):
of action. It's got a decent amount of humor to
it as well, some genuinely funny scenes because if Florence
and David Harbot, they're great actors and they're really good
at that, and of course we know Julia Louis Drefus
is so good.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
But also the thing that surprised me quite a bit
of heart to it as well, because some of these
movies get too carried away with their you know, saving
the universe multiverse kind of rubbish that's hard to keep
track of. This really focuses on the world's inside people,
and there's a big kind of mental health thing, which
you might think, is there a place for mental health
in a Marvel blockbuster? This film kind of does it
(15:39):
pretty well. Okay, surprisingly world Asbastian Stan in it at
Sebastian and I love him.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
She had a big gear last year.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Oh huge year. Yeah, playing Donald Trump doesn't get much
bigeran that. There's one particular sequence in this film with
Sebastian Stan. You know those hero moments where that the
music is swelling and someone comes along to to save
the day. In this one scene, who is it Sebastian
Stan on a motorbike with his wrap around sunglasses it is.
That scene is very good. So there's a few scenes
like that where you just go, do you know what
(16:07):
that just kicked by Harrison Ford?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Like a little cameos.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
And the post and the great and the post post
credit sequence as well, that fit hints at some pretty
exciting stuff. Okay forward, So so I probably after seeing
this film feel more positive about the Marvel cinematic universe that.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I have in a long time with a beautiful, deep voice.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Well, the big question is how many thunderbottomed lightnings, very
very frightenings are you giving it?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Can we get just one?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Three and a half?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Oh okay, it's aggressive, not just solid, not just the
cast alone. Got some hearts, more crazy, more podcasts soon.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
The Perth Garden Show is on at McCallum Park in
Victoria Park from tomorrow until Sunday. For tickets and all
the information, you can check out perthgardenshow dot com dot au.
Landscape designer and presenter on Channel sevens Better Homes and Gardens,
Ali Albon is one of the headliners and he's with
us now.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
Hello, Hello, Hello, how are you guys?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Good?
Speaker 7 (17:07):
I never thought I'd be referred to as a headliner.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
You are, absolutely and it's super Bowl for plant lovers.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
It is the super Bowl for plant lovers. Absolutely really
looking forward to coming over and seeing the gardeners of Perth.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
You are Taylor Swift mate, So what are you going
to be doing whilst you're here? What's your sort of
role across the weekend?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
So I will be at the show all weekend. I'm
going to be at the Rich Grow Knowledge Center I'm
giving away all of my knowledge, so come and test me.
I'm doing talks twice a day. Yeah, just any questions
you've got, come and ask.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I mean people must have got you must go to
a dinner party and it'd be worse than a doctor
when people say, I've got this momp.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Can you just have a look this plant and the
leaf is going brown?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I mean you must get people after you for unsolicited
or solicited advice regularly.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Yeah, dinner parties are a bit of a nightmare for that.
But also even going to the hardware store. I can't
go to the hardware store now without at least giving
about an hour and a half of my time because
people come up and ask questions and I have to
take them to show them what they need to buy.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And yeah, should be paid for that, mate. Power of
TV though they all know who you are.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Ye, not complaining.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Do you find that the knowledge of general knowledge of people? Now,
of course we've got the internet the rest of it,
but the general knowledge of people with so many shows
is much higher, and they know like a hell of
a lot.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
People do know a lot, which is great. You know,
there was I don't know if you remember the time
of COVID, but we got into gardening. You know, people
really did get behind it and really saw the benefits
of it and increase their own personal knowledge, which is
a great thing. You know, when people are interested in gardening,
they're happy to tell each other about it and make
(18:51):
sure that everyone can do it. It's not like this
is something I can do and I'm not going to
tell you how to do it. People are really into
it and really happy to share their knowledge.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
So I love it.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Well.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
The weather is finally cooling down now, which means you
sort of feel more inspired to get out in the
garden because it's not so hot. But then again, I
often think, but what do you do at this time
of the year. You're meant to wait until spring to
do stuff. What can you do going into winter?
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Now is the best time of year to be out
in the garden because, like you said, it's getting cooler,
but the soil is still nice and warm. So if
you're thinking of planting a hedge or planting out a garden,
now is the time.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
To do it.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
It will establish really well up into winter, and then
come spring it will just go gangbusters, so you can
get into the veggie patch too. You can get into
all the brassicas, the cauliflowers, the broccolis, all of that
stuff that needs to be planted now. So there is
plenty you can do.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
A lot of people downsizing as well, Charlie. Of course,
with what's going on with housing, a lot of people
getting smaller places. So there's a lot of small gardens,
balconies and courtyards, and I would imagine that's a whole
new business in itself.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
Absolutely it is. You know, the small space gardening is
massive at the moment, and you don't actually need to
have any soil to be a gardener. You can grow
in pots, you can grow and grow, so there's lots
you can do to get a bit of greenery in
your life.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, sometimes having a smaller space is easier than than
a gigantic space.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
You know, you can really bespoke it.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Yeah, absolutely. You start to think about every single tiny
detail and you can make something look really really special
if it's small, whereas if it's a big, big garden
it can be a little bit overwhelming in you often, yes,
forgetting the detail because of the size.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Bloody weeds as well, they drove me crazy, there is that.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, Well, the place to be to get all the
tips for a garden big or small is the Perth
Garden Show. It's McCallum Parking, Vic Park from tomorrow until Sunday. Charlie,
thanks for joining us.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
We'll see you.

to know what movie Steven Spielberg thinks is the greatest
(21:36):
American film of all time?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Any thought? Porky's I have no idea? Would like to
give me a sensible as no I can't think of movies.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Had an event honoring fellow filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
That's going to narrow it down. Someone got him to
narrow it down. Who is favorite of all time?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
And the film he chose is The Godfather? The first one,
the first one, the first Godfather.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I liked the first one. A lot of people say
they liked the second one the best. Someone was pretty good,
but I liked the first.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
A fresh scandal is brewing in one of TV's most
iconic streets with Steria Lane. An offshoot of Desperate Housewives
is currently in.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
The works, so the news series will be a reimagining
of the original that ran from eight seasons from two
thousand and four to twenty twelve.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
These people need to understand what imagination means, because it's
not really reimagined. And once again, it's just going to
center around five very different friends slash front of me,
who all live on a picture perfect could attack called
Wisteria Lane.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Oh there you go.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
There's absolutely no hints about casting yet.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
And Blondie's Debbie Harry just got an action figure and
I love it. It's an action figure, not a Barbie because
Blondie's a boss, and everyone who thinks Barbie's a boss
is going to hate me for saying that. Control the
Harry doll dressed in the Vulture shirt as per the
iconic photo taken by her band mate Chris Stein in
nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
And I can't believe I just said iconic twice.

More Cleazya, more podcasts soon. Tickets are available through ticke
Tech for David Gray on his Past and Present tour
November four and five at the Riverside Theater, and David
is with us this morning.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
Hello, Hello there, David.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
This album Dear Life, it's been a while in the
making because it was interrupted by things like oh, COVID.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Yeah, that's right. The whole process was rather cuncated by
a massive stop in the middle. So in the end,
I think it actually enriched the creative part of the record.
I think that whatever silence came to rain during that
strange sort of maroon time when we're all found its
way into the lyrics somehow, So there was a bit
(24:07):
of sort of contemplative enrichment that happened from just stopping
the world and having a good old look at what
was there. So it's got something a bit extra, I
think this record as a result.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
But on this tour are we going to hear quite
a bit of the album because some beautiful things on
there that the song would tellier, right, is just a
gym amongst others.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Yeah, that's right. Well, we're using quite a lot of
the record live on the tour, but mixed in with
the it's these songs are big enough to stand up
for themselves, so they're in amongst all the big old songs,
the Babylons and sailor ways and what have you. And yeah,
it's been a real great mix so far. We've had
(24:47):
a fantastic tour since we started in January. We're also
kind of deep diving into some of the back catalog
in quite a significant way that we've played nearly seventy
songs on the so fast So it's it's it's a
bit of an epic it's an epic show. We're going
to try and cram it all in you old and
the neglected fruits of the past. So yeah, exactly two hours,
(25:11):
maybe fifteen, two hours twenty each night. It's a long gig.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Well, I mean, there's a few songs you wouldn't get
out of live if you didn't do I mean, I
mean Babylon. I'd barricade the doors if you didn't do Babylon.
Dave An, What is it about that song that is
my I was on a road trip just the other
day and I think I played it three times during
the three hour course of the trip, because it's just
(25:36):
it's one of the most beautiful melodic songs out there.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
It's an uplifting kind of tune, and it's hard to
write something that lifts you up without being kind of corny.
One the toupist one's to find. But there was something
about that track that just obviously did it. Really it clicked.
It sounds just just enough sweetness and just enough kind
(26:03):
of interest to keep it interesting. So it's not too sweet,
you know. So yeah, it has an atmosphere, but it
has an energy to it. Yeah, the crowd love it
somesly got a very big chorus that gets me singing.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah, Well, thank you, because it is a beautiful.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
In fact, you have the ability to lift us up,
made in so many ways. Every of those love songs
another one I love and this is love without the corn.
You avoid the corn. It's quite a skill.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Which it occasionally creeps in there. It's waiting for every song.
Try and I try not to lash it onto to.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Sometimes one man's corn is another man's not.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
The line exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, David, you said that the You've really enjoyed the
tour so far, and I'm loving some of your little
reviews of some of your own you know, the crowd
and that on Instagram lightly But the Royal or Albert Hall,
what is that like with a full horn section? As
a musician as you are, that must be a joy.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
That was an amazing gig. I mean, I've played the
Royal alb all before, but never like this. It's just
some nights, I don't know. Everyone was in the mood.
We had a full horn section. We decided to treat
ourselves with some amazing arrangements from the new record, and
we wanted to actually get the actual horn players who
played on the record to play with us. So that
(27:28):
was such a treat. But the audience were incredible. We
sold the choir stores that we had people all around us.
It was a three sixty experience and it was very
great immersive experience. But they it looked amazing in there,
it sounded amazing, and everyone just went nut. You know.
It was the best of both worlds. They listened when
(27:50):
it went quiet, they really tuned in, dialed in focus,
and then were absolutely crazy when the big songs came.
So we had one of the best gigs of the tour,
best gigs ever. Really, it was. It lived forever in
the memory.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
That was You are.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
About to kick off the European leg of the tour
this week. Where in Europe outside of the UK do
you find the fans do go?
Speaker 5 (28:13):
The madness for you varies, but obviously Ireland, I'd say
you have some head and shoulders above everywhere else that
they're pretty mad for it over there. So we've got
a string of Irish shows coming up and then some
more later in the years, but they'll always be lively.
We've done a couple already and they were pretty they
(28:35):
were pretty full on. Yeah, I've got I've got another
Dublin this week. The Limericks and outdoors in Limerick in May.
That sounds like you're going to get very wet, but
actually I think the weather in a kind sows And
we've done We've done Belgium, Holland, and we went up
(28:56):
to Copenhagen as well. We just then Mark. We've been
kind of going around the place. We've had an amazing reaction.
I mean in Europe, I don't get over there as much.
So it's always got a special atmosphere because I just
don't think people take it for ground in the same way,
and they take the gig very seriously. It's like you've
actually turned up. They really dial ins. I'm always coming
(29:17):
through Dublin and London, but over there not f much.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Well, you're certainly busy, mate. But when you finally get
a spell and get a bit of time at time,
what do you do you do? Jams or pickling or
something at home? What else are you up to when
you when you get home?
Speaker 5 (29:28):
I have I have my traditional jam made a family tradition,
so I'm holding okay, I'm you know, from my grandparents.
I'm keeping that one going. In the autumn, I will
make BlackBerry jelly definitely lovely. Yeah, I'm like I've had
my first sea swims of the year, so my scenes
and stretches from from well, I actually went in in March,
(29:51):
but it's normally April for the end of October, that
would be my sea swimming. So I like to get
on the beach and you know, into the brac ocean.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
And it makes you feel alive.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
It's amazing. It's absolutely amazing. After that first couple of
minutes of sheer panic that you think you're gonna have
a half a seme then then when when when the
engine kicks in and the whole body starts, that's the
central heating up. It's it's just incredible. It is amazing.
For that's how I am winded. But I love nature.
I like to get down to the coast and get
(30:27):
onto the beach and whatever. So and so that's basically
what I'll be up to. I'm actually gonna be when
I come off the road. I'm actually going back in
the studio, if I'm completely honest, because I've I've got
another sort of records to finish that I started before COVID.
So your life is chapter one.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Well, you're in Perth in November, so that's good beach
weather here and of course we you know, we have
a we have a nice.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Beach or two you got.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been around. I've done a couple
of them, so I'll definitely be going in if if
we've got a couple of days, I'll definitely be jumping in.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, especially when you get out and there's nice and warm, beautiful.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Well the Riverside Theater there are two shows. November four
is almost sold out, so the November five show was
recently added and you can get your tickets through ticket Tech.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
We look forward to having you in town again, David.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Yeah, well we had a great time last time the
Australian tour and three nights of merriment and jollity with
a very cold south wind that was blowing up seasonably.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Okay, it didn't.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Damp the spirits that that was during the White lad
I say, last time we were there indoors. Yeah, I
think it will be amazing. So this tour is going
to be a good one.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Maybe not quite as rowdy as the Dublin crowd, but
you've put in as well. We'll have a crack the crack.
Look forward to hearing your voice.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
All right, bye, Okay, right.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I left home at exactly ten past four this morning.
And the road leading to where I'm heading to the
main road is a winding a bit of a windy
affair near our place. It's not exactly a really bright
part of town either, like as in lit very well.
I call it the shortened winding road, and I'll have
that song stuck in my head all day. And you
may too, uniforms. But the shortened winding road this morning
(32:21):
was full of action because I got to I got
about a meter and a half out of my garage
and bin day. At our place, you put the bins
out Tuesday night for a Wednesday pickup, but the neighbors,
some of our neighbors had not put their bins in,
so I drove almost right into someone's bin, expecting everyone's
been to be in. Okay, first of the ziggs, I'll
get out of that. I get out of the lane way,
(32:41):
negotiate the bin traffic, get out of the lane way.
And I never see this near our place. There's a
man in dark clothing crossing the road on the first corner.
So I'm about to turn the corner and this guy
in the middle of the road and he's walking like
walking all the way across the road. Now he sees
me coming and he gets a little little thing and
he stepped going and that kind of stuff. So I
(33:02):
negotiate him. So that's the zag, only to find there's
a gray cat in the middle of the road right
in front of me, and I wait, what's going on.
I think there's zig zag zigzag. I'm thinking, what's going on?
Someone's trying to test me here. I managed to negotiate
much of the rest of the drive on the way
and to work without any zigging or zagging until a
cabby you know how I said the lights were on
(33:23):
at that Balllue bridge, the a new bridge. A Cabby decided,
I don't know why there was no traffic round to
change lanes and pull right in front of me another
zig and I went, okay, I think it's over. I'm
about a minute a half from work. I get to
work and you know, our gate opens up once, so
I do the tag and then I'm about I reckon.
I missed one of our cleaners, Jesse, by about a meter,
(33:45):
because she decided to get out of a car and
run to the door because she was right. I think
she was running late. Can you come and pick me
up tomorrow and drive me to work. Do you mind
driving down to Free.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I think this is actually what people like to describe
on a Facebook clear as first world problems.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Exactly exactly take it everywhere, go. Yeah, I'm not saying
that the worst. The problem is just to see so
many people at that time of the morning out and
about just happened to be fair.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
One was a cat and one was a bin.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
One was a bin. Yeah, yeah, the bin didn't have
much saying. The cat was just looking for something to eat,
looking for a bird, and it's hard to find sharing that. Yeah, no,
worried crazy and Lisa
