Powered by the radio wapp from ninety six air m
to where Fever. You're listening today This is Clearsy and
Lisa's podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Coming up on the podcast today from Simple Minds, Jim
Kerr from Ice House, Ivor Davies and they are together.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
We took your calls and there were planning on them
on different kind of funerals you've been to, not just
the dye and cry ones.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And in the Shore Report trying to explain to Ozzy
Osborne what a Karen is. Apparently people are ditching traditional funerals. Yes,
there's this woman and Miles. She is fifty seven. She
doesn't want her friends and family to cry at her funeral.
She wants them to party. In fact, she intends to
have a techno dance party. She's one of millions of
(00:45):
Australians who are veering away from what they call a
die and cry funeral, instead opting for celebration. Miles says,
mourners will be dressed in white and they're going to
write messages of love and affection on her coffin, which
will be made from cardboard.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I'm all for that cardboard.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I do it.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
This makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I just think that people are ripped off at their
most vulnerable with these ridiculously expensive coffins. But anyway, Tobin
Brothers Funeral Managing director James McLeod says the industry has
seen a continuous movement towards life centered funerals. Themed and
creative funerals are on the rise, with many people moving
(01:25):
away from a traditional venue. McLeod said one of his
funerals was held at a bowling club recently and after
the ceremony everyone played barefoot bowls.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
He said. My philosophy is, if it's legal, it's possible.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Okay, that's interesting. We see people are requesting that people
rock up in a color or multiple colors as opposed
as traditional black.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Often see that younger person's funeral too, you're asked to
wear that person's favorite color.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
And who passed away, who had a whole incredible collection
of time eyes, many of them wacky and some got
handed out to some of some of his mates, which
was which was actually a beautiful touch, and get to
keep them as well afterwards, which was lovely. Just a
little momento. But the colorful tie adds something who wants
to wear a black suit and a black tire a
black dress.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
And no one wants to. It's the last occasion where
you want to be uncomfortable. When my dad died, it
was almost ten years ago. My god, he didn't have
a funeral, Oh right. He had a sort of like
a memorial service just for people that he wanted there
a couple of months down the track. Yeah, But when
(02:34):
he died, he was just you know, whipped off and
cremated and then we you know, did it later.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
And he didn't want to have a funeral.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
He didn't want that, and especially at that point in
time when everyone's in deep morning.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And he didn't want all these people who he hadn't
seen for forty five years coming out of the woodwork
and suddenly yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And isn't that the weird thing about funerals is it's
open from my dad, but you can't stop a whole
lot of people rocking up. There's a guest list necessarily.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, we want to ask if you've been to a
different kind of funeral.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Galen Wonnaroo, Hello you go.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
Good morning guys. How are you going good?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
So traditional funerals are on the decline. What have you seen?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Well, I was just you were mentioning about going in
a cardboard box. My dad passed away ten years ago
and he only wanted a cardboard box, but it was
way more expense, he's than just the ordinary basic wooden coffin.
So we ended up with that. Plus he didn't want
free loaders at his funeral, yes, so it was it
(03:37):
was invite only and we had a very family, close
family and close friends. And you know, the six months after,
people were asking me how was my dad? Because we
put notices in the paper, the local Rag with Geralton,
and we'd also put in the West Australian. But people
were still coming up to me six months or twelve
(03:58):
months after he passed away, how's your dad going?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
There's been different One of the cardboard box was turned
out to be more expensive than.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
It's interesting it's a regular one.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Was that deliberate draising.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
The reasoning behind it was because it's got to be
bodegradable and meet all the standards. Okay, special special cardboards,
so we're going to have you either.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Way, that damn coffin.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
It just is it drives me nutscale, yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Anyway, we saw him off in style, in style, and
he got his wishes as well.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Gale, it's good, well done, absolutely yeah, absolutely, yeah, No,
Sean and merriwa have you been to a different kind
of funeral?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Hey, you going?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
My brother died in two thousand and two and his
favorite colors were blue and red, and we all wore red.
And I'm not sure if anyone knows, but the Oakley
Flesh shoes that they had back back in the nineties,
we wore a version of those flesh through a different
color because he had multiple pairs.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
That we all wore his shoes.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Yeah, his coffin was red with a blue top and
we all signed that as well.
Speaker 9 (05:11):
And when he got lowered.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Down, we all danced to one of his favorite techno songs.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
That was pretty special.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, I was there, you go.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, and twenty one years sounds amazing and it's not bad.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
But twenty one years ago.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
He started difference.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, thanks Sean, Paul and Tapping. Tell us about the
different funeral you've been to.
Speaker 10 (05:34):
We knew someone Leo, who used to being the Kerk
muzzle load a rifle club. That's the old fashioned ones
with the ball and the gunpowder and the world and
all that.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (05:43):
Yeah, And anyway, I think don't quote me on this.
I think it was the vice president died and what
they did was they got his ashes and put it
in a piece of PBC pipe with concrete and eat chen, right,
and they shot him, shot him out of a signal
cannon into the into the into the sandbank and blew
(06:03):
him up.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
With a bank.
Speaker 10 (06:07):
Yeah that's through the muzzle of a rifle, just.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Like he loves.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yes, it was a big, big cheering around of applause
a Paul.
Speaker 10 (06:15):
Yeah, and they sort of they wore all the old
fashioned costumes and did it did it like properly as well.
So yeah, it was quite quite different to watch my
bet a thousand k's an hour with an instant stop.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Everybody was wearing chain mail around there for safety. That's amazing.
Speaker 10 (06:36):
They're they're safe as there.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, gotcha. Yeah, that's very different.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It's different. Andrew and barffend Hello, Hello, how.
Speaker 11 (06:46):
Are you doing? Good morning, Goes.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
What kind of funeral have you been to?
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Well?
Speaker 11 (06:52):
I suppose I shouldn't laugh, but yeah, it was just
two friends of hers the window here dress. It was
very fun boying guys, yea. And one of them passed
away suddenly, which was very sad, but his partner he's
told us, you know, we want everyone to come as
many as many as possible come and any colors were
your favorite clobber, very colorful. And so we went to
(07:16):
the funeral not knowing what they expect. And the next minute,
as they bring him in, Staying Alive comes on.
Speaker 9 (07:23):
We're like, okay, So.
Speaker 11 (07:26):
The front of the front of the church, everyone starts
standing up and starts dancing.
Speaker 9 (07:31):
So we're like, okay, let's just go with it.
Speaker 11 (07:33):
So everyone we're standing up and we're dancing and everyone's
cheering and stuff, and there's a cremation afterwards. So we've
took him back there and the next minute, again we
don't know, is this going to get any crazier? And
the next minute, obviously, as they take him in to
get cremated, disco infernol comes on. It just comes through
and geez.
Speaker 9 (07:56):
Yes.
Speaker 11 (07:56):
So it was very different, but it worked very well
and everyone by, you know, the funeral.
Speaker 9 (08:03):
So there you go away.
Speaker 12 (08:04):
It can happen.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
That is better to laugh than to cry.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
Yeah, yeah, health partners and stuff, Yeah, yeah, of.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Course, yeah that's going to go get as well, do
it and yeah that's right. Yeah, Well, it's memorable as well,
isn't it. Yeah, yeah, talking about it exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
That's exactly right, Heather in Harvey. You've been to a
different kind of funeral I have.
Speaker 12 (08:30):
It was.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
It was my mum's funeral, and my mum's a bit
of a lush. We're in a small town and we're
in this big room and so we are singing, you know,
ten guitars because that was one of the first a
good party song and one of the first songs I learned. Anyway,
we had a funeral directors at the end of the
(08:53):
room and when we finished the service, when we turned around,
there's a whole group of people, sort of a best
of the hall. We sort of wondered what they were
and when we spoke to the funeral director, they said
to us, they thought it was a party going on.
They were so surprised that it was a funeral because
(09:14):
all the songs, yeah, all the songs weren't said song.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
They were yeah yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
So they stood there for the whole service and when
they come out, they were just surprised that we were
there and it was actually a funeral. So there was
a party that was I mean, there was a funeral
with a difference.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Yeah, I bet the way it was good to heaven.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Well we just carried on, you know, well.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Done, well done you swan in Hocking. Good morning. What
have you been to?
Speaker 12 (09:48):
Well I haven't been to, but I think mine will
be the one. Yeah, so everyone saw black. I'm also
not for the whole going at a funeral thing, but
I would say, and if everyone walks in and there
should be someone paid to stand next to the coffins,
grimory pursuit, right and all the formalities. Just be the
(10:08):
Gramm Reaper not talking to anyone, just walking around having
a wonder.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
It is quite menacing, okay.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (10:15):
And then afterwards just a normal barbecue and open bar
and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
So no grim Reaper at the Bobbie stealing snakes.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Yeah that sounds good. I like it.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah, family member and suit.
Speaker 12 (10:35):
Yeah, well that'll be funny.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, and doesn't have to be a man, I guess
as well.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
More Crazy, more Lisa, More podcasts soon.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
We are so looking forward to next February, the twenty
first Simple Minds and Ice House Together in Kings Park.
Tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster and joining us
this morning all around the world. We're going Jim Kerr
from Frankfort and I have Davies is in Sydney.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Good morning, Lad's.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Good morning, Good morning to you.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So are you guys you met back in nineteen eighty one.
This is not your first rodeo. What do you remember
of meeting each other back in eighty one?
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Ah?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Well, I was kind of fore worn because I had
a friend who had sent me vinyl, so I knew
about this band and it was actually between us and
and our manager at the time. I think it always
had his eye ad on what was happening on the
other side of the world, and what was happening was
(11:40):
this young band from Scotland called Simple Minds, and that's
where we kind of picked up on that song Love
Song I think was the very first thing that Australians
heard of Simple Minds.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Indeed, it was there we go and you Jim.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Yeah, same thing. I mean, it was mutual friend and result.
It was almost like in a student exchange where either
on the guys came close to ut and two with
us and then we got a chance to come ashore
with the first team, which was such a big deal
and such a thrill and still in I mean, especially
(12:19):
for me then back then, because I have to tell
you my my family was meant to be one of
the ten Bob Palms. We were really yeah what else? Yeah, yeah,
And something happened Mom's family and she cooled out at
the end of me and often thought, what if, you know,
I had come then I could have been Ivor's guitar rodeo,
(12:41):
you know. But it's nice to be coming back.
Speaker 11 (12:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
And the connection with Australia, the fans, and you know,
even that connection early on with the help of Countdown
and Molly, it was it just felt like it was
meant to happen. And the love from the Australian fans
is still there after all these years. But back in
those days it was critical, wasn't it.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Yeah, Well, the support was. We had a brand new
national station with with Double J, and I remember being
kind of in awe of the technology that Simple Minds
had going on, because we thought we were pretty smart.
We had we had a bunch of new new synthesizers
and stuff that these guys were like in a different league.
(13:22):
And you know when I heard love Song and I'm oh, man,
I want one of those things.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
The two bands have come together to record t Rex's
Get It On.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Jim, Well, why that song, why that particular song.
Speaker 9 (13:40):
I was laughing at. It's true we did of all
the new gear, but we couldn't really flee. I've earned
the gauge and I told the Australian Bondes could flee
like Billy or so. But coming to the track, which
again such a pleasure because obviously either and I have
four huge fans of Reps, Yes, Mark Bolan, and when
(14:04):
we decided to do a song, just so happens that
this was the first rest ever bought as a teenager. Well,
the album that the song comes from, Get On It
as an album called Election Warrior. So all these years later,
you know, to get the chance of saying one of
our favorite songs and to do one of our favorite bands.
(14:24):
And thanks for having the guys. They do great well,
they do great songs of their own, but they do
great color the yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, and I've had last time we caught up, and
when you met your love for David Bowie, but your
incredible love for Mike Bolan and the stuff he came
out with t Rex, and even the fact that you
had a song like baby You're So Strange, which was
so much influenced by that style, mate, I didn't realize
how your depth of love for the.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Man well when we were we started out as a
covers band, obviously, and a lot of bands do. I
think it probably the majority of bands do. And I
was trying to think of how many songs of Tarannosaurus
Rex and t Rex that we used to play, and
the list, you know, I kind of got the seven songs,
and then the list kept going and I went wow,
(15:09):
you know, we were playing really early stuff. And it's
all thanks to a girlfriend who had a massive record
collection and she dumped me, and thanks to her that
I got introduced to all that music very early on.
And this is such a classic song. We couldn't resist.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Really, not just cover bands.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
By the way, Iver I saw us are set to
play on the steps at Sydney Opera House next month.
Is it true that you first played there in the
seventies as part of an orchestra.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
It's absolutely true. I think I turned eight in by
about three weeks and as part of the Conservatorium of Music,
which was the leading institute of music in Australia, I
had just become a full time student. I was in
the senior orchestra. We were told to go down the
road to that new building that isn't finished yet, and
(16:08):
we performed the very first two one act Australian operas.
Actually they were written by Australian composers in the Opera House.
This is months before the Queen actually officially opened the
Opera House. So you know I was there in that
orchestra pit well while I was still building it around me.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I've always readible.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I've always believed, Eiva, that your classical training would have
to have been one of the things that really set
you apart as a great musician. Would you agree that
there is nothing like having that, you know, as broad
a background as that.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
I would agree wholeheartedly, except that the massive liability that
came with that was that Johnny Rotten from the Sex
Pistols had just announced to the world to qualify as
a proper punk band. You can't know actually what you're doing,
you can't play an instrument at all, and so I
kept that a very very, very very big secret for
(17:05):
a very long time.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I just want to know. Jim has told us in
the past that he's preserved his voice, that beautiful voice,
by not talking and going to get drinking after shows.
So have you done the right thing with you good
mate over the years and gone out drinking with Charlie Birchall,
the Simple Minds guitarist.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Well, we certainly did in that first tour, and I
remember we went out one night. Now I think we're
in a club in Manchester or something like that, and
I remember very specifically it was. It was It had
a kind of mezzanine level, so you look out over
the dance floor and you know it was dark and
incredibly loud. I think Charlie probably had a couple of
(17:47):
a couple of glasses of lager by that point. And
I don't know whether you've ever spoken to a person
with an incredibly thick glass region got his yip. I
had a conversation with Charlie that was about forty minutes long,
and I reckon I didn't understand about ninety five percent
(18:08):
of everything that he said. I just kind of nodded
and yes, And.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
It was a very interesting forty minute the interpreter, that's funny.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
I'm not Charlie for forty years, and ninety percent of
the stuff I don't know what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
That's right, So you're not exiting. Yes, as well, maybe
that's what.
Speaker 12 (18:32):
I just see.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
That's why, that's how it was. Whatever he's whatever he's seen.
It sounds great. So that's Sae.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
But haven't you too? You and Charlie nin each other
since you were in short pants?
Speaker 13 (18:43):
Man?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Were you seven or right or something?
Speaker 9 (18:45):
Well, really that this moment was it was a new
housing scheme back in Glass it was still building it
and literally, you know, moving in moment act you get
employees and we're don't into the street. And because of
so building it, there was you know, cements and sand
castles and that, and there's this kid sitting at the
(19:05):
top of the castle and it was Sharlie.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
And ever since now, Jim, if I just may be
forgiven for falling for one moment, I have been a
huge Simple Minds fan. Ever since Simple Minds came out.
I loved you know, I'm an eighties child. Someone Somewhere
in Summertime is one of my all time favorite songs.
One thing I've always loved to watch is the fluidity
(19:29):
that you always had of motion when you're performing.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
It was mesmerizing.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
But how are your knees these days?
Speaker 9 (19:38):
I still get away with that? How did you get
into that robbery thing, you know, I said, playing the
problems in Glasgow and avoiding the vocals coming up in
the dark.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
So you were ducking and weaving.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
You got to knock and weave. Yeah, you dang thing.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah, well it was a beautiful thing.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You got to stay Limba. Yes, hey, I know that.
I know that you had some health issues. Man, how
are you going? And now we're in You're actually in
Perth when a lot of stuff was going down earlier
in the year. But we were very concerned for you.
But you're you're all good.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually if I can give
a shout to the wonderful people at the emergency room
of the hospital there, which I spent three days in. Yeah,
and yeah, that was a very interesting time. So you
have many, many, many kind of tests and stuff. Later.
We seem to be queer at the beginning of the
(20:42):
plane today and doing another big show this weekend. Last
week and we played as well, and I think the
stage we're on tomorrow night is one of possibly one
of the biggest stages we've ever been on. I've got
to a manager sent me a photograph yes to day
and by the time we played in adelaide. The bass
(21:02):
player ran into me and decked himself, and I said, well,
it doesn't matter how big these stages, Larry, I recoon,
the bass player is still going to run into me.
Speaker 14 (21:11):
Since the directions gone, W did to ask you both, Actually,
there's been a lot of music documentaries made recently, some
very good ones, and are you fans of these?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Would you consider doing.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
One release of documentary if there was something we agree
in repudition but directors, well everything, everything is possible. And
then yeah, I think you did a good a good job.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I look forward to that.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
How about yourself over, No, that's a very interesting here,
and I'm looking forward to a simple mind. Yeah, I
don't know. We have been asked, and I think there
were plans, but I'm not really good at coming back
over stuff. Yeah, okay, it's tricky.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah, absolutely. Have you seen being a Bowie fan, have
you seen Moonat's Daydream, which was an incredible film, Lisa,
When I said this, I.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Mean that was next level as a documentary, wasn't it.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
Well? Yeah, no, I haven't seen it, but I've seen
a number of things. And you know, my big, my
big kind of passion with David Bowie was. It was
actually his lead guitarist, Mick Ronson, who was from the
original band, and I kind of modeled my entire sound
on Mick Ronson. And there is an incredibly, incredibly interesting
documentary on Mick Ronson called Aside Bowie, and I can
(22:35):
recommend that to people because yeah, he's always been a
massive hero of mine.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, I've put that on my list, dream on your list.
And on that note, we will look we will all
look forward to Simple Minds documentary coming out in just weeks.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Jim Ducking and weaving forty plus years.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I'm going to look at that in a whole new
way now, Jim Kerr and Ivor Davies. We can't wait
to see Simple Minds and Ice House at Kingspark February twenty.
First tickets are through ticket Master. Thank you for joining us.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
From Frankfurt, Sydney and beaming into per Thank you boys.
Speaker 6 (23:11):

So you're here.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
More Clezy, more Lisa, more podcasts soon, there's sure report

Speaker 2 (23:29):
A sheet of David Bowie's handwritten lyrics for two of
his songs are expected to fetch more than one hundred
and ninety thousand dollars when it's sold at.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Auction this week.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
The page contains Bowie's corrections, drafts, and notes on Rock
and Roll, Suicide, and Suffragette City. You might think that
sounds like a lot one hundred ninety thousand dollars. Well,
the Amiga auction House previously sold a page of Bowie's
handwritten lyrics for Starman for over three hundred and fifteen
thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Holy douly, wow, he's got that kind of coin, hunky,
do you mean my God to change his impriskara.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
A clip has emerged of Ozzie Osborne's family trying to
explain to him what a Karen is in a new
episode of the Osborne's Podcast, which basically is just like
the TV show but in a podcast. Ozzie was talking
about meeting someone whose name was Karen, but he was
confused by her telling him she's not actually a Karen.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
He had no idea what she was on about. What
he's a Karen.
Speaker 15 (24:30):
Dad, I'm going to explain to you a Karen in
a really simplest way. You know, when mom goes mental,
when our places and something goes awry, mom is a
secret Karen.
Speaker 13 (24:40):
Yeah, he used to be called Now you're called Karen.
Speaker 15 (24:45):
I'm referring to the manager. Let me talk to your manager, Karen.
Speaker 13 (24:49):
I am that course, I am. What is wrong with
sticking up? If you think something's wrong and you want
to fix it, I don't know anything. You are not
the least Karen person it is.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
It's the Shoulder podcast, actually the show, but sitting around
a desk and wacky clown music is well with the
wacky cloud music and chickens instead of the other words.
Hollywood producer Marty Croft has died. He was eighty six.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
You know Whuff and stuff? Yes good.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Along with his brother Sid, Marty produced kids' show classics
like Land of the Lost and hr Puff and Stuff. Now,
the brothers were famous for making great shows despite incredibly
low budgets. And you know, you forget how basic hr
Puff and Stuff was because we remember it as such
a classic. Until I read you know the words low
budget this morning. I thought I never even thought about
(25:42):
it as a kid.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
You does, of course not, and it was just brilliant.
So there's a lesson in there.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
There's a new book coming out about the strained relationship
between the Royals, because that's what we need. There's another
book about them, it claims Kate Middleton jokingly shivers when
she megan uncle's name mentioned.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
We don't most of us these days. If Prince Harry.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
And his wife are keen to reconcile with the Royal family,
then ohmen Scoby's book End Game. What a great name.
Omen Scoby is unlikely to help matters. The book comes
out this week and Paris Hilton is celebrating the arrival
of another baby, this time a girl that she's called
or they have called London.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Oh, Paris, London, New York. Everybody talk about good help us.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
He's sir justin days just for Guy's club.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
They start enough good, but then eventually they end up
doing poorly.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Oh no, there's a count.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
On the field.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Hold on, that's what I want to see.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Crazy and leases sports report.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Okay, Well, in Anahey's absence this morning, we'll take care
of things. It's Bruce and Bruce. The Australian men's team
is lost to India in their second twenty match by
forty four runs wwas Marcus Stinnest top scored with forty
five of twenty five balls, so he is them good

And in women's cricket, the scatched hers will face either
the thunder or the heat on Wednesday at the whackath

in the NBL or the Try again the WBBR Challenger,
which would be like a semi final, and the winner
of that, of course will then face the Strikers in
Adelaide in the final on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Thunder and heat. Yesterday it was a bit with that
swings and roundabouts.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
In the golf and tennis w ways, Min Wu Lee
won the Australian PGA Championship, taking home three hundred and
forty grand for his efforts, but itally has beaten Australia
to nil in the Davis Cup final in Spain.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
There you go red balls, max verstappans a year of

Speaker 2 (27:48):
In netball, Courtney Bruce claimed her second liz Elis Dimond
for outstanding performances at the national and domestic levels. She
was also crowned International Player.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Of the Year.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
The awards were not exactly a fun night out, though,
I feel like this sport everything. They were hit by
a boycott, with a number of players not attending the
ceremony over a pay dispute. Netple Australia sent a legal
letter to players just hours before the event, threatening legal
action if they didn't comply with their contracts.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
And go why the ceremony.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
The Netball Players Association issued a statement saying the Diamonds
are attending because they leave legally obligated to be present.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Okay, well that puts it all sort of in a
bad taste.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
In New Mouth, everyone's stopping suddenly.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Per Thundersticks have claimed this is in hockey. The Thundersticks
have claimed back to back bronze medals after beating New
South Wales Pride to one yesterday, and in soccer Perth
Glory was beaten by Brisbane Raw yesterday, also to to one.
Speaker 3 (28:44):

(29:27):
six am
Powered by the radio wapp from ninety six air m
to where Fever. You're listening today This is Clearsy and
Lisa's podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Coming up on the podcast today from Simple Minds, Jim
Kerr from Ice House, Ivor Davies and they are together.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
We took your calls and there were planning on them
on different kind of funerals you've been to, not just
the dye and cry ones.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And in the Shore Report trying to explain to Ozzy
Osborne what a Karen is. Apparently people are ditching traditional funerals. Yes,
there's this woman and Miles. She is fifty seven. She
doesn't want her friends and family to cry at her funeral.
She wants them to party. In fact, she intends to
have a techno dance party. She's one of millions of
(00:45):
Australians who are veering away from what they call a
die and cry funeral, instead opting for celebration. Miles says,
mourners will be dressed in white and they're going to
write messages of love and affection on her coffin, which
will be made from cardboard.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I'm all for that cardboard.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I do it.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
This makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I just think that people are ripped off at their
most vulnerable with these ridiculously expensive coffins. But anyway, Tobin
Brothers Funeral Managing director James McLeod says the industry has
seen a continuous movement towards life centered funerals. Themed and
creative funerals are on the rise, with many people moving
(01:25):
away from a traditional venue. McLeod said one of his
funerals was held at a bowling club recently and after
the ceremony everyone played barefoot bowls.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
He said. My philosophy is, if it's legal, it's possible.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Okay, that's interesting. We see people are requesting that people
rock up in a color or multiple colors as opposed
as traditional black.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Often see that younger person's funeral too, you're asked to
wear that person's favorite color.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
And who passed away, who had a whole incredible collection
of time eyes, many of them wacky and some got
handed out to some of some of his mates, which
was which was actually a beautiful touch, and get to
keep them as well afterwards, which was lovely. Just a
little momento. But the colorful tie adds something who wants
to wear a black suit and a black tire a
black dress.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
And no one wants to. It's the last occasion where
you want to be uncomfortable. When my dad died, it
was almost ten years ago. My god, he didn't have
a funeral, Oh right. He had a sort of like
a memorial service just for people that he wanted there
a couple of months down the track. Yeah, But when
(02:34):
he died, he was just you know, whipped off and
cremated and then we you know, did it later.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
And he didn't want to have a funeral.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
He didn't want that, and especially at that point in
time when everyone's in deep morning.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And he didn't want all these people who he hadn't
seen for forty five years coming out of the woodwork
and suddenly yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And isn't that the weird thing about funerals is it's
open from my dad, but you can't stop a whole
lot of people rocking up. There's a guest list necessarily.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, we want to ask if you've been to a
different kind of funeral.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Galen Wonnaroo, Hello you go.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
Good morning guys. How are you going good?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
So traditional funerals are on the decline. What have you seen?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Well, I was just you were mentioning about going in
a cardboard box. My dad passed away ten years ago
and he only wanted a cardboard box, but it was
way more expense, he's than just the ordinary basic wooden coffin.
So we ended up with that. Plus he didn't want
free loaders at his funeral, yes, so it was it
(03:37):
was invite only and we had a very family, close
family and close friends. And you know, the six months after,
people were asking me how was my dad? Because we
put notices in the paper, the local Rag with Geralton,
and we'd also put in the West Australian. But people
were still coming up to me six months or twelve
(03:58):
months after he passed away, how's your dad going?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
There's been different One of the cardboard box was turned
out to be more expensive than.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
It's interesting it's a regular one.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Was that deliberate draising.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
The reasoning behind it was because it's got to be
bodegradable and meet all the standards. Okay, special special cardboards,
so we're going to have you either.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Way, that damn coffin.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
It just is it drives me nutscale, yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Anyway, we saw him off in style, in style, and
he got his wishes as well.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Gale, it's good, well done, absolutely yeah, absolutely, yeah, No,
Sean and merriwa have you been to a different kind
of funeral?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Hey, you going?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
My brother died in two thousand and two and his
favorite colors were blue and red, and we all wore red.
And I'm not sure if anyone knows, but the Oakley
Flesh shoes that they had back back in the nineties,
we wore a version of those flesh through a different
color because he had multiple pairs.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
That we all wore his shoes.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Yeah, his coffin was red with a blue top and
we all signed that as well.
Speaker 9 (05:11):
And when he got lowered.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Down, we all danced to one of his favorite techno songs.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
That was pretty special.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, I was there, you go.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, and twenty one years sounds amazing and it's not bad.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
But twenty one years ago.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
He started difference.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, thanks Sean, Paul and Tapping. Tell us about the
different funeral you've been to.
Speaker 10 (05:34):
We knew someone Leo, who used to being the Kerk
muzzle load a rifle club. That's the old fashioned ones
with the ball and the gunpowder and the world and
all that.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (05:43):
Yeah, And anyway, I think don't quote me on this.
I think it was the vice president died and what
they did was they got his ashes and put it
in a piece of PBC pipe with concrete and eat chen, right,
and they shot him, shot him out of a signal
cannon into the into the into the sandbank and blew
(06:03):
him up.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
With a bank.
Speaker 10 (06:07):
Yeah that's through the muzzle of a rifle, just.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Like he loves.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yes, it was a big, big cheering around of applause
a Paul.
Speaker 10 (06:15):
Yeah, and they sort of they wore all the old
fashioned costumes and did it did it like properly as well.
So yeah, it was quite quite different to watch my
bet a thousand k's an hour with an instant stop.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Everybody was wearing chain mail around there for safety. That's amazing.
Speaker 10 (06:36):
They're they're safe as there.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, gotcha. Yeah, that's very different.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It's different. Andrew and barffend Hello, Hello, how.
Speaker 11 (06:46):
Are you doing? Good morning, Goes.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
What kind of funeral have you been to?
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Well?
Speaker 11 (06:52):
I suppose I shouldn't laugh, but yeah, it was just
two friends of hers the window here dress. It was
very fun boying guys, yea. And one of them passed
away suddenly, which was very sad, but his partner he's
told us, you know, we want everyone to come as
many as many as possible come and any colors were
your favorite clobber, very colorful. And so we went to
(07:16):
the funeral not knowing what they expect. And the next minute,
as they bring him in, Staying Alive comes on.
Speaker 9 (07:23):
We're like, okay, So.
Speaker 11 (07:26):
The front of the front of the church, everyone starts
standing up and starts dancing.
Speaker 9 (07:31):
So we're like, okay, let's just go with it.
Speaker 11 (07:33):
So everyone we're standing up and we're dancing and everyone's
cheering and stuff, and there's a cremation afterwards. So we've
took him back there and the next minute, again we
don't know, is this going to get any crazier? And
the next minute, obviously, as they take him in to
get cremated, disco infernol comes on. It just comes through
and geez.
Speaker 9 (07:56):
Yes.
Speaker 11 (07:56):
So it was very different, but it worked very well
and everyone by, you know, the funeral.
Speaker 9 (08:03):
So there you go away.
Speaker 12 (08:04):
It can happen.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
That is better to laugh than to cry.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
Yeah, yeah, health partners and stuff, Yeah, yeah, of.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Course, yeah that's going to go get as well, do
it and yeah that's right. Yeah, Well, it's memorable as well,
isn't it. Yeah, yeah, talking about it exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
That's exactly right, Heather in Harvey. You've been to a
different kind of funeral I have.
Speaker 12 (08:30):
It was.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
It was my mum's funeral, and my mum's a bit
of a lush. We're in a small town and we're
in this big room and so we are singing, you know,
ten guitars because that was one of the first a
good party song and one of the first songs I learned. Anyway,
we had a funeral directors at the end of the
(08:53):
room and when we finished the service, when we turned around,
there's a whole group of people, sort of a best
of the hall. We sort of wondered what they were
and when we spoke to the funeral director, they said
to us, they thought it was a party going on.
They were so surprised that it was a funeral because
(09:14):
all the songs, yeah, all the songs weren't said song.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
They were yeah yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
So they stood there for the whole service and when
they come out, they were just surprised that we were
there and it was actually a funeral. So there was
a party that was I mean, there was a funeral
with a difference.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Yeah, I bet the way it was good to heaven.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Well we just carried on, you know, well.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Done, well done you swan in Hocking. Good morning. What
have you been to?
Speaker 12 (09:48):
Well I haven't been to, but I think mine will
be the one. Yeah, so everyone saw black. I'm also
not for the whole going at a funeral thing, but
I would say, and if everyone walks in and there
should be someone paid to stand next to the coffins,
grimory pursuit, right and all the formalities. Just be the
(10:08):
Gramm Reaper not talking to anyone, just walking around having
a wonder.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
It is quite menacing, okay.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (10:15):
And then afterwards just a normal barbecue and open bar
and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
So no grim Reaper at the Bobbie stealing snakes.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Yeah that sounds good. I like it.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah, family member and suit.
Speaker 12 (10:35):
Yeah, well that'll be funny.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, and doesn't have to be a man, I guess
as well.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
More Crazy, more Lisa, More podcasts soon.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
We are so looking forward to next February, the twenty
first Simple Minds and Ice House Together in Kings Park.
Tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster and joining us
this morning all around the world. We're going Jim Kerr
from Frankfort and I have Davies is in Sydney.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Good morning, Lad's.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Good morning, Good morning to you.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So are you guys you met back in nineteen eighty one.
This is not your first rodeo. What do you remember
of meeting each other back in eighty one?
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Ah?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Well, I was kind of fore worn because I had
a friend who had sent me vinyl, so I knew
about this band and it was actually between us and
and our manager at the time. I think it always
had his eye ad on what was happening on the
other side of the world, and what was happening was
(11:40):
this young band from Scotland called Simple Minds, and that's
where we kind of picked up on that song Love
Song I think was the very first thing that Australians
heard of Simple Minds.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Indeed, it was there we go and you Jim.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Yeah, same thing. I mean, it was mutual friend and result.
It was almost like in a student exchange where either
on the guys came close to ut and two with
us and then we got a chance to come ashore
with the first team, which was such a big deal
and such a thrill and still in I mean, especially
(12:19):
for me then back then, because I have to tell
you my my family was meant to be one of
the ten Bob Palms. We were really yeah what else? Yeah, yeah,
And something happened Mom's family and she cooled out at
the end of me and often thought, what if, you know,
I had come then I could have been Ivor's guitar rodeo,
(12:41):
you know. But it's nice to be coming back.
Speaker 11 (12:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
And the connection with Australia, the fans, and you know,
even that connection early on with the help of Countdown
and Molly, it was it just felt like it was
meant to happen. And the love from the Australian fans
is still there after all these years. But back in
those days it was critical, wasn't it.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Yeah, Well, the support was. We had a brand new
national station with with Double J, and I remember being
kind of in awe of the technology that Simple Minds
had going on, because we thought we were pretty smart.
We had we had a bunch of new new synthesizers
and stuff that these guys were like in a different league.
(13:22):
And you know when I heard love Song and I'm oh, man,
I want one of those things.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
The two bands have come together to record t Rex's
Get It On.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Jim, Well, why that song, why that particular song.
Speaker 9 (13:40):
I was laughing at. It's true we did of all
the new gear, but we couldn't really flee. I've earned
the gauge and I told the Australian Bondes could flee
like Billy or so. But coming to the track, which
again such a pleasure because obviously either and I have
four huge fans of Reps, Yes, Mark Bolan, and when
(14:04):
we decided to do a song, just so happens that
this was the first rest ever bought as a teenager. Well,
the album that the song comes from, Get On It
as an album called Election Warrior. So all these years later,
you know, to get the chance of saying one of
our favorite songs and to do one of our favorite bands.
(14:24):
And thanks for having the guys. They do great well,
they do great songs of their own, but they do
great color the yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, and I've had last time we caught up, and
when you met your love for David Bowie, but your
incredible love for Mike Bolan and the stuff he came
out with t Rex, and even the fact that you
had a song like baby You're So Strange, which was
so much influenced by that style, mate, I didn't realize
how your depth of love for the.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Man well when we were we started out as a
covers band, obviously, and a lot of bands do. I
think it probably the majority of bands do. And I
was trying to think of how many songs of Tarannosaurus
Rex and t Rex that we used to play, and
the list, you know, I kind of got the seven songs,
and then the list kept going and I went wow,
(15:09):
you know, we were playing really early stuff. And it's
all thanks to a girlfriend who had a massive record
collection and she dumped me, and thanks to her that
I got introduced to all that music very early on.
And this is such a classic song. We couldn't resist.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Really, not just cover bands.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
By the way, Iver I saw us are set to
play on the steps at Sydney Opera House next month.
Is it true that you first played there in the
seventies as part of an orchestra.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
It's absolutely true. I think I turned eight in by
about three weeks and as part of the Conservatorium of Music,
which was the leading institute of music in Australia, I
had just become a full time student. I was in
the senior orchestra. We were told to go down the
road to that new building that isn't finished yet, and
(16:08):
we performed the very first two one act Australian operas.
Actually they were written by Australian composers in the Opera House.
This is months before the Queen actually officially opened the
Opera House. So you know I was there in that
orchestra pit well while I was still building it around me.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I've always readible.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I've always believed, Eiva, that your classical training would have
to have been one of the things that really set
you apart as a great musician. Would you agree that
there is nothing like having that, you know, as broad
a background as that.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
I would agree wholeheartedly, except that the massive liability that
came with that was that Johnny Rotten from the Sex
Pistols had just announced to the world to qualify as
a proper punk band. You can't know actually what you're doing,
you can't play an instrument at all, and so I
kept that a very very, very very big secret for
(17:05):
a very long time.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I just want to know. Jim has told us in
the past that he's preserved his voice, that beautiful voice,
by not talking and going to get drinking after shows.
So have you done the right thing with you good
mate over the years and gone out drinking with Charlie Birchall,
the Simple Minds guitarist.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Well, we certainly did in that first tour, and I
remember we went out one night. Now I think we're
in a club in Manchester or something like that, and
I remember very specifically it was. It was It had
a kind of mezzanine level, so you look out over
the dance floor and you know it was dark and
incredibly loud. I think Charlie probably had a couple of
(17:47):
a couple of glasses of lager by that point. And
I don't know whether you've ever spoken to a person
with an incredibly thick glass region got his yip. I
had a conversation with Charlie that was about forty minutes long,
and I reckon I didn't understand about ninety five percent
(18:08):
of everything that he said. I just kind of nodded
and yes, And.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
It was a very interesting forty minute the interpreter, that's funny.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
I'm not Charlie for forty years, and ninety percent of
the stuff I don't know what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
That's right, So you're not exiting. Yes, as well, maybe
that's what.
Speaker 12 (18:32):
I just see.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
That's why, that's how it was. Whatever he's whatever he's seen.
It sounds great. So that's Sae.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
But haven't you too? You and Charlie nin each other
since you were in short pants?
Speaker 13 (18:43):
Man?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Were you seven or right or something?
Speaker 9 (18:45):
Well, really that this moment was it was a new
housing scheme back in Glass it was still building it
and literally, you know, moving in moment act you get
employees and we're don't into the street. And because of
so building it, there was you know, cements and sand
castles and that, and there's this kid sitting at the
(19:05):
top of the castle and it was Sharlie.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
And ever since now, Jim, if I just may be
forgiven for falling for one moment, I have been a
huge Simple Minds fan. Ever since Simple Minds came out.
I loved you know, I'm an eighties child. Someone Somewhere
in Summertime is one of my all time favorite songs.
One thing I've always loved to watch is the fluidity
(19:29):
that you always had of motion when you're performing.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
It was mesmerizing.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
But how are your knees these days?
Speaker 9 (19:38):
I still get away with that? How did you get
into that robbery thing, you know, I said, playing the
problems in Glasgow and avoiding the vocals coming up in
the dark.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
So you were ducking and weaving.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
You got to knock and weave. Yeah, you dang thing.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah, well it was a beautiful thing.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You got to stay Limba. Yes, hey, I know that.
I know that you had some health issues. Man, how
are you going? And now we're in You're actually in
Perth when a lot of stuff was going down earlier
in the year. But we were very concerned for you.
But you're you're all good.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually if I can give
a shout to the wonderful people at the emergency room
of the hospital there, which I spent three days in. Yeah,
and yeah, that was a very interesting time. So you
have many, many, many kind of tests and stuff. Later.
We seem to be queer at the beginning of the
(20:42):
plane today and doing another big show this weekend. Last
week and we played as well, and I think the
stage we're on tomorrow night is one of possibly one
of the biggest stages we've ever been on. I've got
to a manager sent me a photograph yes to day
and by the time we played in adelaide. The bass
(21:02):
player ran into me and decked himself, and I said, well,
it doesn't matter how big these stages, Larry, I recoon,
the bass player is still going to run into me.
Speaker 14 (21:11):
Since the directions gone, W did to ask you both, Actually,
there's been a lot of music documentaries made recently, some
very good ones, and are you fans of these?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Would you consider doing.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
One release of documentary if there was something we agree
in repudition but directors, well everything, everything is possible. And
then yeah, I think you did a good a good job.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I look forward to that.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
How about yourself over, No, that's a very interesting here,
and I'm looking forward to a simple mind. Yeah, I
don't know. We have been asked, and I think there
were plans, but I'm not really good at coming back
over stuff. Yeah, okay, it's tricky.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah, absolutely. Have you seen being a Bowie fan, have
you seen Moonat's Daydream, which was an incredible film, Lisa,
When I said this, I.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Mean that was next level as a documentary, wasn't it.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
Well? Yeah, no, I haven't seen it, but I've seen
a number of things. And you know, my big, my
big kind of passion with David Bowie was. It was
actually his lead guitarist, Mick Ronson, who was from the
original band, and I kind of modeled my entire sound
on Mick Ronson. And there is an incredibly, incredibly interesting
documentary on Mick Ronson called Aside Bowie, and I can
(22:35):
recommend that to people because yeah, he's always been a
massive hero of mine.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, I've put that on my list, dream on your list.
And on that note, we will look we will all
look forward to Simple Minds documentary coming out in just weeks.

and ninety thousand dollars when it's sold at.

thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
A clip has emerged of Ozzie Osborne's family trying to
explain to him what a Karen is in a new
episode of the Osborne's Podcast, which basically is just like
the TV show but in a podcast. Ozzie was talking
about meeting someone whose name was Karen, but he was
confused by her telling him she's not actually a Karen.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
He had no idea what she was on about. What
he's a Karen.
Speaker 15 (24:30):
Dad, I'm going to explain to you a Karen in
a really simplest way. You know, when mom goes mental,
when our places and something goes awry, mom is a
secret Karen.
Speaker 13 (24:40):
Yeah, he used to be called Now you're called Karen.
Speaker 15 (24:45):
I'm referring to the manager. Let me talk to your manager, Karen.
Speaker 13 (24:49):
I am that course, I am. What is wrong with
sticking up? If you think something's wrong and you want
to fix it, I don't know anything. You are not
the least Karen person it is.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
It's the Shoulder podcast, actually the show, but sitting around
a desk and wacky clown music is well with the
wacky cloud music and chickens instead of the other words.
Hollywood producer Marty Croft has died. He was eighty six.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
You know Whuff and stuff? Yes good.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Along with his brother Sid, Marty produced kids' show classics
like Land of the Lost and hr Puff and Stuff. Now,
the brothers were famous for making great shows despite incredibly
low budgets. And you know, you forget how basic hr
Puff and Stuff was because we remember it as such
a classic. Until I read you know the words low
budget this morning. I thought I never even thought about
(25:42):
it as a kid.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
You does, of course not, and it was just brilliant.
So there's a lesson in there.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
There's a new book coming out about the strained relationship
between the Royals, because that's what we need. There's another
book about them, it claims Kate Middleton jokingly shivers when
she megan uncle's name mentioned.

We don't most of us these days. If Prince Harry.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
And his wife are keen to reconcile with the Royal family,
then ohmen Scoby's book End Game. What a great name.
Omen Scoby is unlikely to help matters. The book comes

was also crowned International Player.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Of the Year.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
The awards were not exactly a fun night out, though,
I feel like this sport everything. They were hit by
a boycott, with a number of players not attending the
ceremony over a pay dispute. Netple Australia sent a legal
letter to players just hours before the event, threatening legal
action if they didn't comply with their contracts.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
And go why the ceremony.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
The Netball Players Association issued a statement saying the Diamonds
are attending because they leave legally obligated to be present.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Okay, well that puts it all sort of in a
bad taste.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
