VM to where Gabby You're listening today?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
This is Clezy and Lisa's podcast. Coming up.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
On the podcast, we took calls on the most Expensive
Thing You Broke.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
We catch up with the one and only Dion Warwick.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
On the show report, Lisa spoke about well. She asked
the question is it all over for Cane and Pianca.
We talked about the hundred with Andy Lee and how
to make it on way. Our series continued with sound
and audio operator Ben Calman.
Speaker 5 (00:26):
She happened to see this little youtubing fellow crashes three
hundred thousand dollar McLaren. YouTuber Jack joety, twenty years old,
says he's blessed to be alive after crashing his three
hundred k McLaren, which he was driving on a wet
road and live streaming himself.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
This story was hard to miss online Yesterday was.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
With This stream shows a twenty year old looking down
at his phone in his hand while driving a three
hundred thousand dollar car at a slippery at Miami Highway.
Next minute, Doity is seen desperately grabbing at the wheel
and screaming as is luxury car slides and crashes into
a guard rail, still recording, though the distressed influencer flips
(01:06):
the camera onto himself as he tries to get out
of the car, so two people passing by do indeed
pull him out the window. With one hand he holds
onto the man assisting him, and with the other he
continues filming. He then assesses the damage to his car,
and only then does he check on his friend in
(01:27):
the passenger seat, because never let a bleeding friend get
in the way of a little look at Me movie. Anyway,
pretty expensive shimozzle all round.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Just it almost looked like a setup, didn't It was
so ridiculous that he is looking to.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
See the color of that car, one hundred thousand dollar
McLaren and it was. It was painted like a coloring
book left out in the rain.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Well, I think, you know, there's been a bit of
a splattered paint on it and going on.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
It was quite weird.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
But twenty year old, when I was three hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
That was the worst part to start with, I'm thinking
the only thing better than that was if it was
Dad's you can when you go home, But three hundred
thousand dollars was his phone worth three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars because it seemed to be He's prime.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
You know, he's whole Attentionally, he doesn't consider his life
or the life of his passenger worth much.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
The other thing is film was himself in driving at speed.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
But you know when you se him filming, when he's
got out of it, he may have been in shock,
but he also wasn't weeping.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I'll be on the ground weeping with a car like that.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Mate was rotting, you know.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I mean, anyway, we want to ask you, what's the
most expensive thing you've broken?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Did you ever break something as a kid? Maybe not
a three hundred thousand dollars motor vehicle and something.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
He went, oh, we're in so much trouble. Well, I.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
No, I don't think I ever broke anything. But I
wasn't filming myself like this city. But I did smash
my mum's car. Oh that's right, day after.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
A a license.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, that went down well.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Didn't go down well at all.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
She was bad.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Didn't go down well at all.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
No.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I do remember his kids being in our sunken laund
room with the clinker brick and the universe, the plush
propile carp Yeah, yeah right. Dad had this old long
neck one bottle. This isn't care enough in the seventies,
there's this long neck one bottle.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Sorry, I'm hearing a soundtracking by.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah you are.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
This had a bit like porn music or sorry boom
what you imagined? Yeah, yeah, me too. Someone told me so.
He had this long neck wine bottle, which I think
it was like an old can't do bottle or something
or you know whatever. Those bottles were BOTTLINGO or something,
and it was it was an empty bottle, yes, right,
But we were thought and I had the sort of
woven sort of basket base that's like a ky edge bottle,
(03:34):
and there was no wine in it had already consumed that,
but we were led to think this was the most
expensive thing in the world. And we weren't allowed into
the lounder room because that was sitting in the corner
of dad bar bar empty.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It was empty.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Bottle was empty, but you weren't allowed to play in
his bar. Of course we did, because there were matches
and all kinds of things. Don't try this at home, kids.
There was a light, Yeah, there was some daries in
there cought a few times and clear the air for
an hour, and we broke said candy bottle the long
neck because they're not that strong.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
We broke it and thought our world was over. We're
like the Murdocks. We're out of the world, and we
were going to be in a world of trouble, ruld
of pain.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
And then Artie Fay rocked up, Fad Jarrett rocked up,
and we and everyone pretended everything was normal on the
Happy Claire's household.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So we got away with it the time.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
She managed to blame Aunty Fayer anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Probably I don't know what happened, but you know that
initial telling off period, it had waned by the time,
all right, so there you go. And Dad had already
had the candy, so why would he complain?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It seemed like the most expensive thing in the world
at the time.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Daniel in Miranda, good morning.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Guys, have it gone?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
What did you break it?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
When smartphones were a new thing and I was still
a kid, my dad ordered one from Japan, this really
fancy one, and I stilt a glass of tea all
over it straight away. Oh no, and it never worked again.
The stick and right I hadn't used it at all.
Brand spanking.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Probably didn't know about the rice.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You probably didn't. Background wouldn't have to come with russ ye, but.
Speaker 8 (05:16):
I don't think that would have.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, that's a that's corroding.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Yeah, that's almost as be as thanks Daniel, thank you
lovely to look at the life or to hold if
it's broken, consider it sold.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, very good.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
That's what the sign of the shop used to say.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah, something like that. Yeah, keet your fingers off it
you break your pay I think it's.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Break your pie pretty much.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, like ball in the China kids and score.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Alas the passive aggressive message better too.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
And it was a rhyme which was always more creative.
It's more creative talking about the most expensive thing you've broken,
John in Como, what was it?
Speaker 6 (05:57):
The thing was also a point is but as stupid
as the twenty year old and let's place. I was
eighteen at the time I got my first car, which
is a nice two fourteen, and I thought, you know
what this car could do was they could do with
a sports steering wheel, not a sports steering one, which,
of course because is a very narrow turning circle, which
(06:21):
as eighteen, I didn't realize. So when the known a
quarter to five, I'm coming out of a petrol station
that's on top of the hill and Shepherd right in
Big Park. Yeah, coming out there, poured into heavy traffic,
doing it quite straight, it up quick enough, went up
the curb. The passenger wheels went up the side of
(06:42):
what are those supporting wires on a blank place?
Speaker 8 (06:46):
A little better?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
If I tried, and I flicked it on the driver's side.
Even mister Bean couldn't do that.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Amazing, I realized sooner realized that the pressing this door
is opening?
Speaker 9 (07:02):
Yeah, looking down at me?
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Got someone cambarrassed?
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Yes, my steering wheels bugger, But anyway, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You never forgot about you? Remember the straight John John,
have a good day?
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Modified steering wheel? Just who good to hold on to?
Because I was just until then, Yeah, tried to turn.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
The embarrassment of someone opening the passenger door.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Looking down your right, Mike and Port Kennedy, what did
you break?
Speaker 9 (07:38):
I broke a whole palette of Don Perry on champagne.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Mike, Oh my god, how did that happen?
Speaker 9 (07:45):
I used to be the manager at the Royal Ascott's
Wine Cellars. Yes, and we're prepping for Royal Ascott so
we we're just had to move stuff around to make
space for all the all the new Champagne cup. Yeah,
we're willing this, willing the palace, don't very on. And
(08:05):
then all the bosses just gave way and Champagne just
went everywhere.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You're in management, right, but what were the ramifications? What
are you doing that instance?
Speaker 9 (08:16):
Well, there's not too much you cans, but just just
went to the boss, told him about it. He says, oh,
that's all right, we'll just rite off.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Okay, text loss assurance.
Speaker 9 (08:33):
Yeah, that's that's like the lower scale of the Champagne
when it comes.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
To fair enough, right, thank you.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Still it's not it's not Lambrisco.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, it's a little bit more up market for that.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, true than your mic Mike survived.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
I don't like I had some just I already try
at once and I thought it was a bit fruity.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It's not mum, isn't I like? Well?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I prefer mum.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Yeah, I like a dryer.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
We'll have that arranged by nine o'clock. Could you maybe
by eight thirty have it brought to my tent. We'll
take care of business.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Jill in rocking Ham says when she was really young,
mum had an ugly jug to her grandmother and they
didn't think it was very expensive. Just a family I
think so. Anyway, Jill's broken at one day playing.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Ball in the house.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Yeah, and I found out years later it was a
Toby jug, which is worth quite a few thousand dollars,
ugly heirloom. Donna and Yanship says she hit the accelerator
instead of the break hit a wooden fence, went through
the wooden fence through Dad's bedroom window, put scratches in
his New Chester drawers. I'm not too sure what Donna
(09:50):
is saying. Dad was more upset about the scratches in
his New Chester draws. All the French face that just
happened with the carguy. It is like a bit of
slight stick of everything stick on wheels. Anyway, it was
an expensive day.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
That certainly was.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Natalie good, What did you break?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Can you turn tend your radio efforts? Natalie? And then
we'll be because it's bouncing back. Nice work.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Where'd you break?
Speaker 9 (10:18):
Natalie?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Well?
Speaker 10 (10:20):
This one for all the mums out there.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
Yes, I had a top.
Speaker 10 (10:26):
Of the range breast pump. Yes, and quite expensive, but
it was more emotionally expensive because it broke. Oh yeah,
and there was a lot, a lot of pain and
I had to manually express and the pain was passed
on to my husband and it was a really challenging
(10:48):
time and the shop wasn't open for a few days,
so we went in a very happy mood at home
for a bit.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Oh Yeahalie, thanks for the emotional one.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
So we've got one last call Lisa and Hi Wickhame.
Speaker 3 (11:03):

Speaker 1 (11:06):
How are you good?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
What did you break?
Speaker 11 (11:10):
It wasn't something I broke, for say, but my dad
when I was about nine, took me to a garden simper, Yeah,
and he said he's just going to go for a
wanderer for me to behate myself. And so I sat
there and for about forty minutes picked off every blood
I could find off the zai of bushes, sat there
(11:35):
and wrote my name on the ground on the path
we saw the boot.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, it's so good.
Speaker 11 (11:44):
And I was waiting for him when he got back.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, but they went down well, thanks Lisa.

two years. So long it's been.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Yeah, And I.
Speaker 12 (12:57):
Have seventy wonderful grant children who have kind of kept
me abreast of what was going on musically because I
listened to my peers mostly and they'll come up with
a limit of a song as Ramyles say this one,
you know, and I do so that's how I say
as current as I am.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I know you talking that documentary that you made three
years ago, and I know it was a long time
in the making.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Don't make me over? Was its name?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
You have a special link with the Apollo, don't you?
From way back? And is it true you saw that
documentary the first time of the Apollo?
Speaker 12 (13:29):
Yes, absolutely the same.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
How incredible? That must be very special.
Speaker 12 (13:34):
For you, no doubt, you know, to first of all,
to be able to not only perform at the Apollo,
but to during that period of time to win imgurate.
It was amazing, exactly, John.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
You've become a bit of an icon on Twitter or
x as they call it now in recent times with
the post, especially once towards the you know, towards other celebs.
Did you ever find out why chance the rapper finds
the need to put the rapper in his we know.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
You're around there?

He never really answered that.
Speaker 1 (14:16):

Speaker 5 (14:40):
Really sixty two years of performing? Is there a song
you're sick of playing?
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Yet?
Speaker 12 (14:46):
How do you argue with success?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
That's true?
Speaker 12 (14:49):
Yeah, okay, is exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I was lucky enough twenty years ago, a couple of
twenty years ago to introduce you at Sandleford Winery for
a couple of nights in two thousand and four with
the double I sent for the orchestra, and as you
walked on stage, the crowd erupted both nights.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
How does that? How does that feel? With that love
from the fans.
Speaker 12 (15:07):
It's sensational, absolutely amazing to know that people for law
have enjoyed. But I give them musically, and I appreciate
that I've given them, so I know it's the rewards
that you get all the good work that you do.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
You've given of yourself in a lot of ways. You're
you're very well known for your philanthropy, especially when it
comes to aids, charities, stuffing done with the un You
were honored by a fire earlier this year for your
decades of work, so congratulations on that. But that moment
with Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder, and that's
what friends are for. How was it getting them to
(15:45):
collaborate with you? Was it hard or were they? Did
you make one phone call? And they said, Dion, I mean.
Speaker 12 (15:50):
Yeah, basically, you know, I ran into Elston actually in
grocery store.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Real, yeah, I'm shopping at the wrong shop.
Speaker 12 (16:00):
He was shopping. He's doing a birthday party for his manager.
And I approached him and I said, Hey, what are
you doing tomorrow night? And he said, well, I'm playing
in the party. I said, well, are you working tomorrow
night as this party? He said no. I said, well,
I know where you're going to be and I told
him what I was doing and he said absolutely, and
(16:21):
he said I will be home. And I said, then
you're going to come right to the studio and go
out and I picked her up on my car. Oh god,
think very much.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
I'm not leaving till you get in the car. Yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
And did Elizabeth Tayler really say I want you to
give us the song. In other words, all the prophets
is that how it was?
Speaker 12 (16:41):
Yes, she certainly did. She said, yeah, can iself before
men las? Yeah? Yeah, And we went into a little
corner and she said, listen, that song is something I
deal with the very beneficial to the eighth problem. Could
you would you consider giving me that song? As he
and some for the teritorborization I'm starting called them for. Well,
(17:06):
let's ask the other three folks in there. They had
as much to do with this as I do. And
we all figured that we all have felt the statement
of age and by talent just going to make a difference,
find that and that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yea to this day, very generous.
Speaker 12 (17:24):
You know, it's something that we felt we had no
choice but to do. Yeah, you know, we got people
to understand what we were doing and why we were
doing it, and how they said be of help.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah, well you'd all lost too many friends already, hadn't
you by that stage.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Because people don't understand people, you know, today a lot
don't understand just how controversial it was at the time
in terms of people talking about it and understanding it.
And we had to get that, you know, discussion going.
Speaker 12 (17:49):
Absolutely and music has a very magical way of doing that.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Absolutely.
Speaker 12 (17:54):
But the song did.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Yes, Yes, You've won six Grammys over the many years,
which one means the most to you.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Are they all like your children?
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (18:03):
Yeah, you know they're the very many other songs that
have gone at the praise of my peers. Is that
during a share the Time to Live won the grant me.
That's how we were voted in by those who are
in the industry as well. And it's a wonderful feeling
to know that your peers think that, yeah, you did
it this year, so you deserve it.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, we're all said. By the loss of Burt Backerg
last year, what an incredible life. But he just kept
coming up with those gifts, Toney, those wonderful songs.
Speaker 12 (18:32):
He came up with, wonderful melodies, And we shall not
forget how did it gave us those words for me
to sing? And if we were not for how baby,
we'd all be humming instead.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Of saying whistling, whistling or something I did.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I had a great joy of seeing Burt back around
a few years ago, and it was such an amazing
show because so many of those incredible songs, like I say,
a little prayer and all all squeezed into a medley
because there were so many, too many songs to do.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah, yeah, but amazing well.
Speaker 12 (19:09):
Direct songs were written for me and good bye now
and you know much appreciated.
Speaker 5 (19:15):

and we can't wait to see you do it on
your one last time tour at the Riverside Theater January eleven.

Speaker 5 (19:33):
Best, Bye Bye bye, Cy and Lisa's how It's a
Made in wa Bring this son, I'll make.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
You a start.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Continuing our series about getting into the ever burgeoning movie
biz that w Way is pulsing with at the moment,
our guest today is Ben Callman, who is a film
and TV audio and sound person, a boom operator. Good morning, Ben,
Good morning. You're holding the big fairy thing just out
of shot.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
Sorry, that's me, absolutely yeah, telescopic pole, the Big fairy Thing.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
One of the many things. I'm sure, what exactly is
it that you do?
Speaker 8 (20:09):
Well, I'm a boom operator. So first and foremost I
operate a boom pole, which is a telescopic pole, and
that allows me to extend it with a microphone on
the end and then hold it above actors on screen
move it around in shots to follow the dialogue as
it moves around a table or a kitchen or wherever
we're at. On top of that, I do hide a
(20:33):
Lavalier Mappel microphone on actors, touching it to their costumes,
to their skin, yes, putting it in their hair sometimes. Yes,
you may see them in shows. You'll see a little
thing poking out the bottom of a tie that upply
a radio microphone.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
I'm on a Christmas card basis with anyone who's ever
had to attach one, because you know they've got to
slide it down the back of your top.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Absolutely, oh yes, I do.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
We get up close and personal. A good bit of
a polar building goes along with apology.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I think I was doing it too.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Absolutely, you have.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
To be been as one of the greatest fe years
with that big fuzzy thing you're talking about, getting it
in shot and getting told off, you.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
Know, certainly once once a day is sort of my aim.
If you're not putting it to shot, you're not doing
good enough job. By times, I think, OK, fair enough,
but yeah, that's certainly the goal is to keep it out.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
So how did you get into film and television?
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Well, it was a little bit of a crossing road
across roads in my life, and I didn't really know
what I wanted to do, and I sort of started
asking myself what I actually like and I was like
probably twenty two thirty one now, and you know, film,
film and TV came up because it's all I did
with my spare time. And I went to Tafe in
the end for a couple of years and sort of
landed a gig straight out of Tafe. And that's kind
(21:48):
of all she wrote. It was, you know, eight years.
It's been eight years now since I finished and loving it.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
It's an impressive list of work. Now, can you drop
a few names for us? So at least some of
the work is that you're quite incredible.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
Sure.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
I mean, I've been quite lucky in that I've had
a lot of work here in WA and we've had
some great cast and crew come through. So it's been
a lot of really fascinating, interesting people. Because like Derek Banner,
Eric Peterson to name a couple of people who've come here.
But also I've done a little bit of work over
in Sydney as well, taking myself out there on my own
dim and working on most recently Kingdom of the Planet
(22:20):
of the Apes. All right, I think maybe just finishing
up it's theatrical release now as well as anyone but you,
which has a bit of a global meme phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
For a while there.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
Yeah, Sydney Sweeney Glen Powell to name a couple, and
I did a little picked up a couple of days
on Full Guy as well, so Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt.
Speaker 9 (22:39):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
That's awesome. And you're working on the third installment of
the twelve now.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
Absolutely, Oh dear Sam Neil, he's really great and so
far as going.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Pretty well, Yeah, sound must come with so many challenges
because you cannot control the thing that's going to fly over.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Drive paths, just make a general clang of some sort.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
Absolutely, we try our best, you know, especially other departments
do what they can for us, you know, parking the
generator further away, having quieter props in the scene that
they use, you know, camera fans turning off when we
hit records. We do what we do our best and
so to other people. But as you said, you can't
always control it. And you know, sometimes they're thick. Locations
(23:25):
need to flight pass, you know, out in the middle
you're watching the flight radar every five minutes, you know,
waiting for a window you get your game.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
And also catering have to do the right thing and
not have such chewy food you might.
Speaker 10 (23:36):
Hear the.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
True right.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Do you ever get to your clad on the set?
Speaker 8 (23:43):
You know, I've definitely done it many times when people
don't get the message. But you know that's not really
my job. Actually, that's more of an assistant director thing.
So I live it stepping on their toes, you know,
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Did you meet Nicholas Cage or work with him on
the Surfer down South?
Speaker 8 (23:58):
I did a couple of weeks on that, yeah, taking
over for a friend, and met him very briefly. He
is a man of few words, very private man. You
try not to bother them. But that was pretty cool
shooting and I think it's not out yet, but that'll
be a very very fun film to watch.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
I think, Yeah, we've been doing this, Ben because of
the you know, we've got the Malaga Studios being built
at the moment, We've got so many different groups realizing
what great locations WA has, and a lot of stuff
is really growing. You must be thrilled at how WA
is reaching new heights as the place to be at
(24:35):
the moment.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
Absolutely. I mean, when I started eight years ago, the
only studio we've really had that was being utilized was
the ABC Studios in these perth and you know, for
the most part it was going under utilized. There's only
really been a handful of productions that have come through
that have used it when you know, I'm sure they
would have loved to have had a bigger budget or
a script that required it. But the best thing about
these new studios coming up is that they're going to
(24:57):
be incentivizing more product to come here on top of
what we already do. So that extra bit of funding
will go a long way with bringing in you know,
bigger and better films, bigger and better TV shows, which
you'll only add to know, more crew getting hired, more
cart getting hired locally, which will just inject a little
bit of money into the industry here, you know, and
outside the industry even as well.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Ben, You know how you said you stopped me and thought,
what do I really like? Are there times on set
you're holding that boom up there, or you're doing whatever
in your part of your job, and you go, I
cannot believe on doing this?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
How good is this? It's pretty great?
Speaker 11 (25:28):
You know.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
The only times I've ever asked that is when it's
been something so bizarre and weird that I couldn't believe
I was filming it. I feel like one of the
ones that earliest in my memory was in twenty eighteen.
We were shooting a film called Naked Wonder. I think
it's been renamed now, but yeah, we're filming a scene
where a guy gets stung by jellyfish and he is,
you know, doing a certain acts to try and relieve
(25:50):
the pain on himself, and I did think, what the
hell am I doing here?
Speaker 5 (25:55):
But also there must be times where you're holding that
thing aloft, thinking would you get it?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Did this take? My arm is killing me?
Speaker 8 (26:03):
Yeah? Sometimes when you start hearing take twelve, that's what question?
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yeah, action as you and the camera operators the chemos
always complain about that, especially with in sport.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
The hold this blood even all day.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Absolutely absolutely, man for people who are thinking now's my
moment to you know, to embrace what's happening in w way.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
What's your your one tip for getting into the industry.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
My one tip would probably be quite a bit multifaceted really,
but checking out our local state run provider. So Screen
West does a lot of funding and a lot of
incentivizing towards getting attachments in various different roles and departments.
So keep an eye out for Screen West stuff. And
you can even go beyond and looking at screen Australia
and then looking through the Guild as well. So I'm
(26:46):
a member of the Australian Screen Sound Guild and our
w AA branch here. You know, there's a cinematography one,
there's a costume one, there's a production design one. You know.
So if you're interested in a certain subset of filmmaking already,
like just check out the guild and see what they've
got offering. They might have a talk of free talking,
go to and meet people, connect to network there.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Yeah yeah, well I guess beyond that, it's it's the
context and then the bloody hard work, like any feel yes.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
Absolutely put your head down, do the work show you
better than anywhere else, and you'll get some work.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
That's good advice. Then, thank you so much for joining us.
We'll let you get back to working with Sam Neil.
Please give him my love.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yeah, I'm very quite, Yes.
Speaker 10 (27:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:25):

FM, Cissy Houston, the two time Grammy winner and mother
of the late Whitney Houston, has died. She was ninety one.
Cissy was in the vocal group The Sweet Inspirations. They
sang back up for a variety of soul singers including
Otis Redding, Lou Rawls, and The Drifters. The Sweet Inspirations
appeared on Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl and saying background
(27:59):
vocals for the g Hendrix's Experience. After performing alongside Aretha
Franklin and Elvis Presley, Houston became an in demand session singer.
Her vocals can be heard on songs from artists like
Shaka Khan, Luther Vandross Beyonce, Paul Simon, ROBERTA. Flack, and
of course her daughter Whitney. Two amazing voices, One lived
(28:19):
an amazing you know, long life. The other a huge waste.
It looks like it could be over between Kanye West
and that poor girl that looks like she needs a
safe word not to mention some pants.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Tm z's reporting or TMZ.
Speaker 5 (28:33):

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Everyone in the state says Z.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Yeah, but we're Australian and we say ZED.

Australia about animals.

Speaker 14 (30:48):
Straight from are a sidekick? Kind of a couple of
questions right out of Okay.
Speaker 13 (30:59):
This one's the one that for us heading into summer.
What percent of Australians won't go in the ocean because
of sharks? Will not step a foot in the ocean?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
A few people we reckon thirty five percent. I reckon
eighteen twenty nine percent difference.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
One Listen, I'm not very good at maths, but I
think thirty five was a lot closer to twenty difference.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Excuse me, but the difference was good. Differences around.
Speaker 13 (31:29):
Around the house.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
We'll talk about your renovation soon.

Speaker 13 (31:38):
What percent of Australian thing it's okay to give a
pet as a surprise gift?
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Oh no, it's not six.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
I reckon forty or twenty two.
Speaker 13 (31:53):
The difference about that one, I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Wow, I need to be on the schoolboard is sixteen anyway,
that's terrible.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
You shouldn't give us something you cannot do that.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
I agree, I mean, I'm open to it, but I
have to be protected from myself.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
You've got enough. No, that's the one.
Speaker 13 (32:18):
He's one, particularly for those in perfect have to travel
far when they go anywhere. What percent of as you
think dogs should be allowed on domestic flights?
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Well, I know that my dog is better behaved than
most children that sit behind me kicking my seat. So
I reckon sixty eight percent, sixty eight.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
I think it's a growing number. I go high thirty thirty.
Speaker 13 (32:50):
Eight at least for the win fifty nine.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Well done.
Speaker 13 (32:55):

block and try and win some money. Well, yesterday we
found out that and I probably post something about this
on Instagram later today or tomorrow. But managing internal walls
were structurally strong enough because it was good in eighteen
(34:00):
seventy six and a lot of water damage come through. Yeah,
the bricks and the mortar had kind of turned to mush,
so they.
Speaker 8 (34:08):
Had to break out every single wall.
Speaker 13 (34:11):
They've kept as many bricks as possible that were in
good condition, and then we'll have to rebuild all the interior.
