Sculptures by the Sea is reliant on government funding. It's
a non for profit. It has sponsorship, but it needs
some government money. It hasn't got that this year. It's
at risk of falling by the wayside As if we

Speaker 2 (06:13):
I months went on a motorbike ride with Kieran Perkins,
you know, the swimmer, and on his helmet it said
Kieran Perkins.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
I thought, why advertise.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
I'll tell you why, because if it all had to crash,
ambers go to him.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Firstly, that's good.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Maybe Kieran Perkins on my helmet. Susie said she can
make one for Amanda. Happy to send you a personalized
sharks suck or Jonesy sucks to imagine you walk. It's like,

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Want a helmet that says Kieren Perkins.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Do you think I could ask Tony of Aloa perhaps
that can I wear a sloppy joe with my name
on the back.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
You're going to be well, you're going to be like
those dogs at the dog parks that now have their

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Their little It's like something that astronauts would do or something.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well, I told you about that that I was in
LA with the living room and Chris Brown said, I
think I just saw buzz Aldron in the lift. So
how did you know? And he said, how did jackel on?
This says buzz Aldron. So that's always a giveaway.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
That is a dead giveaway.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
And as it was, Kiaran Perkins wearing a buzz Aldrin,
I think.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
It sports people, astronauts, I think radio people minus celebrities
walking around with their name on their back.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
You might look like a bit of a tool, Tony,
what do you think?

Speaker 9 (07:58):
All right, go ahead wear it?

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yep.

Speaker 10 (08:03):
But if it was a West Tigers one.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
I see maybe Jones you were when you watch the
game on Friday night.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
It's not overly, it's not really Anthony Mundine Stone.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
You don't have to ride up at the shops just
we're at home to honor the team when you're watching them.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
What do you think, Brian?

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Okay, we don't care. Brendan is what we're telling you.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
My back, Oh, Tony, he's question Namble one which small
yellow characters love bananas and work for groop.

Which tower is tall in Sydney here? So is it
Sydney Tower? I? Which is formally center Point Tower?

Speaker 4 (08:50):
And are you counting the little spy a bit as well?

Speaker 2 (08:52):
You got to count the spy or the Sydney Salesforce Tower.
The Sydney Salesforce Tower, and we're looking at it.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Right now, look by side from where we are.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Oh what do you think, Tony?

Speaker 9 (09:05):
Oh wow? Say the Sydney Tower for it?

Speaker 1 (09:12):
You are right, Sydney Tower is three hundred and nine
meters and the Salesforce Tower is two hundred and sixty
three meters.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
So I can't read.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
It's two hundred and seventy one. Okay, right, let's play
monster mash. Let's kick off this monster mass.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
We've mashed two songs together, Tony, what are they?

Speaker 3 (09:43):

He's a very thoughtful, classy man.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
And I wasn't much of a fan of his.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
I was aware of his but I do like his
stand up and what he is very articulate in his monologues.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
It's a dirty job. Let's someone got to do it?

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Thumbing through the jermanaka Booger musical facts on this day.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
In nineteen eighty nine, U.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Two released Everlasting Love. You know that they didn't write
that song. It was originally at least in nineteen sixty
seven by a chap by the name of Robert Knight.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
That's him.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Did you know that has been covered by multiple artists,
by the town criers, Rex Smith, Rachel Sweet.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Anyone I'd heard of Doug Parkinson?

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yes, I remember Mutton Chops. Yes, giving the Australian guernsey
to it. That has been a top forty hit in
the US in the nineteen sixties, the seventies, the eighties
and the nineties.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
Who's going to have a crack?

Speaker 12 (14:53):
Now?

Speaker 3 (14:54):
What about little poopy?

Speaker 4 (14:56):
Little Yochty could do it? I don't have little poopy
called little Yochty?

Speaker 3 (14:59):
Could anyone? What about a little baby? No?

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Little baby's grown out of the demographic.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Let's put on you, Jamna.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Well.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
After a few days suspension by the ABC, which is
owned by Disney, Jimmy Kimmel's talk show is back on
the air. Disney has lost a lot of money in
the last few days. People have been canceling cruises, people
have been canceling trips to Disneyland, people have been canceling
their Disney subscriptions, and the ABC has copped a lot
of flaks.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
So Jimmy was.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
ABC America not ABC Australia.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yes, ABC Australia also receives a lot of got some
mail about them saying he had nothing to do with us,
don't look here. So so many people tuned in to
watch this show and the monologue video alone has had
twelve point nine million views. Wow, so all eyes on
deck pretty much to see how he would deal with
what's happened to him over the last few days. He

(15:49):
actually began by saying, I'm not sure who had a
weird of forty eight hours, me or the CEO of
Tyler and Old started, but then in a very he
got quite emotional as he explained what he had been
trying to do in that first monologue and why he
accepted why people may have been upset, and do you.

Speaker 14 (16:06):
Want to make something clear because it's important to me
as a human and that is you understand that it
was never my intention to make light of the murder
of a young man.

Speaker 6 (16:16):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Think there's anything funny about it.

Speaker 14 (16:24):
I posted a message on Instagram and the daves killed,
sending love to his family and asking him for a compassion,
and I meant it.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
I still do.

Speaker 14 (16:31):
Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group
for the actions of what it was obviously a deeply
disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point
I was trying to make. But I understand that to
some that felt either ill timed or unclear, or maybe both.
And for those who think I did point a finger,
I get why you're upset. If the situation was reversed,

(16:52):
there's a good chance I'd have felt the same way.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
Very classy, very close, very very gracious, he said he'd
had a lot of people had reached out to him.
In the last few days. Have been so humbling.

Speaker 14 (17:03):
I've had the opportunity to meet and spend time with
comedians and talk show hosts from like Russia, countries in
the Middle East who told me they would get thrown
in prison for making fun of those in power, and
worse than being thrown in prison, they know how lucky
we are here, our freedom to speak, is what they
admire most about this country. And that's something I'm embarrassed

(17:24):
to say. I took for granted until they pulled my
friend Steven off the air and try to coerce the
affiliates who run our show in the cities that you
live in to take.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
My show off the air.

Speaker 14 (17:35):
That's not legal, that's not American, that is un American,
and it is so bad.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
And I'm glad he's back. I'm glad he's back. Does
that mean that he's going to go soft on Donald Trump?

Speaker 8 (17:47):
Now?

Speaker 3 (17:48):
He tried his best to cancel me. Instead he forced
millions of.

Speaker 14 (17:51):
People to watch the show that backfired, Bigley. He might
have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Now, I'd say that is enough.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Let's get on down to the Giant after the pub
test canceling Sculptures by the Sea. Have they done jokes
about Donald Trump? No, what's happening costing too much?

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Well, this is.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
The government funding may be withdrawn. That's what's happened. Sculptures
by the Sea is a spectacular tourist bonanza. People locals, Well,
the locals get annoyed because lots of people are there.
But It's a spectacularly beautiful sculptural walk from Bondai to Tamarama.
It's one of city's most popular events. Five hundred thousand
visitors of view over one hundred sculptures by artists from

(18:40):
all around the world. I've had friends who've exhibited in it.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
You've got one in your backyard.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Uncle had made a herd is that what we would
call them, of fiberglass zebras, one of which is in
my back and.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
That was response. That was a source. Responsibly. You didn't
just go and rip it off.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
No, I asked him if I could buy it.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Sculptures by the Sea just sort of started as an
organic thing.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Someone just put a milk crate.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
With a skull on it and they had it.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
That's how it started.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Well, it's become bigger than ben Hr.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
It's a not for profit organization and this year they're
saying it could be canceled due to lack of funding.
The art exhibition needs a further two hundred thousand dollars
in the next two weeks the event.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
To go to go ahead.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
There's a combination of sponsorship and government funding, and was
unable to secure the funding from the federal government.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
To support the.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Event and they don't get any money. No one, there's
no entry fit.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
It's free to go in because people come from all
the different entryways along that walk.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
It is free.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
I do like it. I've never been to it. I
want to go to it. It's like for years I.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Wanted to go to Vivid or the Zoo or any
of those places, and I like the idea of it,
and then I just don't do it.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
But you expect the government to kick in.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
You don't have to go to the opera house to
love the idea that Sydney has an opera house.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
You've got to have stuff, you've got to have staff.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
The exhibition apparently costs three million dollars to put on.
They had to do cutbacks every single work.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
So what's the breakdown. Why does it cost so much?
Because it's just some Johnny Arteris.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Pay the art you pay the artists, and rightly so you.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Have to pay the artist. I thought it was to
show their wares.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
It's not as big sales jamboree.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
They should be able to sell the staff.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Artists should be able to make a living. You've got
the artists, and also that to pay security. There have
been cases of the and that's where you've had to
have some cup backs. But there've been chases of the
stuff being.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Damning, ripping off of Zebra for example.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
For example, So how do you how do you feel?
I would hate this to disappear and I would hate
it to be toned down. It is a thing that
Sydney should be very proud of. Funding sculptures by the Sea.
Does this pass the pub test?

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Jem jam Na said.

Speaker 12 (20:40):
Wham God, I want right now windows.

Speaker 15 (20:49):
And yell.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Down to the jonesy demand of arms for the pub
test funding Sculptures by the Sea.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 2 (20:59):
It's not just for disinterested influences in lu lu lemon
pants who run fast and ignore it.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
I've no I've ignored.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
It for it since you lose Lemon pants.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yet what I'm in my Lulu lemons. But I've never
been to it, but I love it. I think it
should always stay.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
It's one of city's most spectacular events. Half a million
visitors over the few weeks that it's on, viewing one
hundred extraordinary sculptures dotted around what has to be the
most beautiful coastline in the world. Mamorama was the melting
ice cream. Incredible, absolutely incredible. This has been held since
nineteen ninety seven. It is a free, public exhibition and

(21:36):
because of that, it does rely funnily enough on funding.
They're now saying that this year's Sculptures by the Sea
could be canceled due to lack of funding. It needs
a further two hundred thousand dollars over the next two weeks.
It's a non for profit organization. It relies on a
combination of sponsorship and government funding, and it was unable
to secure enough government funding from the federal government to
support this exhibition. So it'd be horrendous if Sculptures by

(22:00):
the Sea fell by the wayside. I think it's a
really important thing to find If this was a football organization,
would we even be having this discussion. We need to
fund out arts and this is a public, free event.
It's a beautiful thing for everyone to enjoy. Funding Sculptors
by the Seat is it past the pub test.

Speaker 13 (22:18):
I think Sculpture by the Fee should be funded by
the government, just as long as the organizers go through
the correct process of applying for funding. I think it's
a wonderful exhibition which draws a lot of people down
and it will be a real tragedy if it doesn't
go ahead.

Speaker 9 (22:37):
There's nothing more iconic. They're walking around the foreshores of
Sydney looking at such a beautiful sculptures. So both government,
let's get behind it and let's keep it funded and
let's keep it going.

Speaker 11 (22:49):
I believe it does.

Speaker 10 (22:50):
It brings enough people into the area.

Speaker 14 (22:52):
And also if the government doesn't fund it, well we're
going to lose another attraction for our city.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
Yes, it does pass the pub test.

Speaker 9 (23:00):
It's an iconic event and it's important not only for
the sculptors but for Sydney siders and tourism as well.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Well sculptures by the train line, shopping trollie with a
plastic bag.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Ooh ah, that sounds good.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
I love what he's doing with love.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
I's gone in a little creek.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
I'm looking forward to Ignoring again this year, but I
wanted to see.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
So I vivid.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
You don't have to go to be proud that Sydney
has it.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Thank you for all your calls.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Jiss Share Notion podcast.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Ben Elton has entertained us for over thirty five years
with his humor, his wit, his life insights and his
storytelling well, he's now written an autobiography called What Have
I Done?

Speaker 4 (23:41):
And he joins us now, Ben High, Hello.

Speaker 11 (23:45):
Thank you for having me on the show.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
It's always good to talk to you. What haven't you done?

Speaker 2 (23:49):
And as I was reading this book, I've read a
lot of your fiction work, which I always love. And
as I was reading this book, I thought, what was
he didn't written a book about himself before? It's almost
You pretty much answered that question straight away, And it
was a pretty tough time when you first embarked on
writing a book back in twenty twelve about yourself.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
Yes, I've never particularly up until quite well, up until
twenty fourteen. Really, i'd never thought about writing a biography.
I always thought it was a bit funny people writing them,
you know, when they were really quite young.

Speaker 16 (24:21):
But obviously you get famous, you get off of the
book deal, and I guess you do it. Sometimes people
are write more than one biography. My very dear friend
Stephen Fry's got three out and I don't think he's
out of short trousers yet. But anyway, I didn't think
about it for most of my life, but then after
Rick died, and also I had particularly you know, I

(24:41):
was in.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
A bit of a career slump and feeling very slightly
sorry for myself, which is unlike me, very kind of
angry about a lot of things about Rick's early death,
and so I dropped it. But then quite recently last year,
you know, my mom died, which left me a very
old orphan, and also it's quite a bit of dementia
out about and in my family, and I just thought

(25:02):
it was time.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I loved reading about your university years, and obviously the
places that you were living gave birth to the young
But it's such a love letter to Rick mail. You
said the second you saw him, you pretty much fell
in love with him.

Speaker 6 (25:15):
Yeah, it was, it was, I mean, it looked like
all love affairs, this one was very much a platonic
love affair.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
But I did love him.

Speaker 11 (25:23):
It was kind of love at first sight.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
He was a third year, I was a first year,
so that was you know, he was very impressive.

Speaker 11 (25:29):
He's incredibly handsome.

Speaker 6 (25:30):
I'm not normally a great, you know, one who notices
male beauty, you know, but no one could ever fail
to look at Rick and not be incredibly struck by
his sort of mesmerizing He was mesmerizing, and he had
immense star quality, and he was the star of a
student show that they put on for fresh As Week,
and I described in the book had just how even

(25:53):
though he was a kind of spotty twenty year old
third year in a cold big coat and a cold
autumn day in nineteen seven, he literally controlled the room
so beautifully.

Speaker 11 (26:03):
And we became friends very quickly.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
Aid was in that show as well ad Edmundson and
was also brilliant, but he was much more difficult to
get to know.

Speaker 11 (26:12):
We've been close friends ever since. He came up with
the title what Have I Done?

Speaker 2 (26:16):
And now that's what you said in the start of
the book that the BBC passed on a new show
that you and he were working on it in twenty twelve.
I find that extraordinary that someone would pass on Rick
Mayle and he had a.

Speaker 6 (26:27):
BBC knocked him back. It was they thought he was
too big a present for BBC one. They were aiming
for a sort of family audio. I don't know what
they were aiming for.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
I like how you're right about.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
You knew you could write gags, but writing a long
form comedy or a story was a different a different
story and the length of bridth of how your brain
works with Blackadder.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
I mean, was it your Did you have a childhood
love of history?

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Where does the stuff come from?

Speaker 11 (26:53):
I think, yeah, I talk. I mean the book's you.

Speaker 6 (26:56):
Know, got lots of great anecdotes in it, I hope,
lots of stories. You know, how I saved Stephen Fry's life,
Robert de Niro eating my food, George Harrison tried to
get me to drink my own weed.

Speaker 11 (27:07):
If you want to know why, you'll have to look
in the.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
Foot or come to see you talk about it.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Actually going to be coming to Australia to talk about
all the stories in the book.

Speaker 6 (27:17):
I am indeed, and because of course there's a huge
Australian element of the book. I mean more than an element.
I mean when I was twenty eight, my life became
half Australian, you know, and it's partly because of Rick Mayl.
Rick Mayl and I were coming to tour Australia, and
the Australian Unions in those days insisted on two Ozzi's
for every pom on any bill, you.

Speaker 11 (27:37):
Are to employ two Australians.

Speaker 6 (27:39):
And to our great good fortune, our our Ossie promoter,
Michael Edgeley booked an old girl banned from Perth and
I ended up marrying the bass player and my life
changed completely because you know here, I am an Australian.
I'm not just an Australian. I've got an AO. I'm
an Order of Australian. And let me tell you now,
the Poms haven't given me anything. That's for sure, a

(28:00):
ninety ball Rick, Can you believe that nothing?

Speaker 11 (28:03):
Anyway?

Speaker 6 (28:04):
So h Gen Nelson, my dear friend who was on
my British show back in the nineties with with Roy
is Coming, is going to talk to me about my
book on stage live and we'll take some questions. So
you know, if you want to come along, I'm sure
with hg there it'll get. It'll get rough and ready.
You could come along and see me canceled. It could happen.
You never know, because we're going to be being very honest.
I'm not going to stand in our truth.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Maybe if you go full Gandy and start drinking a
cup of your iron around there, that could be a thing.

Speaker 11 (28:31):
Yeah, take George Harrison's advice. Finally, it was very loving.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
You might have missed you might have missed down or something. Ben.
It might be really good.

Speaker 11 (28:40):
Yeah, I did I've got to be honest, there's pretty much.

Speaker 6 (28:42):
I pretty much do anything for a beetle, but not that.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
Ben Elton, It's always great to talk to you.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
For tis to see Ben Elton on tour Headgefane dot
com dot au.

Speaker 3 (28:52):

Speaker 11 (28:58):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Jonesy and Amanda so podcast.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Jonesy and Amanda, you're going to be crossing Brendon.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
You want just all this competition that and I said,
don't do it because you.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
Can't do it.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
It was one of the greats over our twenty years.
Remember head jam.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Head jam. It became head jam because you couldn't faster. Cluck,
don't even say it.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Anyway, it's over our twenty year period. Coming up, Smart.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Versus Dark, I'm going to predict I noticed that hasn't
lay ended in our book Pump Up the Jam.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Well, it's relatively new, we've only started it this year.
I am going to obviously, well, when I say I'm
in the universe, channel through me is going to pick
the winner of today of this Weekend's to be game.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Sharks versus storm on Friday night, Broncos versus Penrith.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
On Sunday night, Sunday Sunday afternoon, and then this is incredible.
I'm also going to pick today who will win the Grands.
I don't understand how we just well hang around and
I'll explain all it makes no sense. Next up, though,
we're going to be talking about Robert Irwin. He's continuing
continuing to kill it on.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
The dance floor.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
A lot of people are saying that Rob and I
have the same dejection.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
And a little bit of a don't him like that.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
They danced the tango and a lot of the judges
at the time said the tango was my best dance.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
And that's what they're saying about Rob Irwin. You see
what's happening here.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
Let it go.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Gem Nation.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
After breaking the internet with his debut performance on Dancing
with the Stars last week, Robert Irwin has yet a
gown again woud viewers with his tango on Dancing with
the Stars.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
It's absolutely extraordinary again.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
And I know that you don't like me resting on
my laurels from Dancing with the Stars.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Let's explain the nature of laurels. I mean, you were
very very poor.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
I know you don't like me shining on TV because
you don't think I'm any good on it.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
But I will say this, that's so not true. Back then,
in those days, this young kid who him? Were you
me and Robert?

Speaker 4 (31:03):
How old were you then? You were in a kid?
Here is your late forties.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
I was forty six.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
This young kid came from nowhere, young top grating radio show.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
This young middle aged man love you on TV?

Speaker 4 (31:18):
And you were hugely I do, what's this about?

Speaker 3 (31:23):
No, it's not about any and you were hugely.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Hugely popular. Yes, on that you really were. People loved you,
not for your dancing. That's we're allowed to say that.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Am I allowed to say that they loved you on
Dancing with the Stars, But not because you're dancing.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
A lot of people are saying, best dance of the night,
such a sexy tango, love this hot tanger.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Oh this is just about me now, that was what
they said about Robert.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
The kid has got the gift, and I think he's
a bit better than what I was if I remember rightly.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
We all remember.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
But let's know we're former players from Dancing with the Stars.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
You were on it in two thousand and six.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
I've wiped it from my memory.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
I was on it until twenty thirteen. Do you remember
the tango?

Speaker 4 (32:04):
I don't really.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
It's all about this framing, remember.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
That and really strong in front of me riden steps
and when I was hosting it, and you could have
seen it in others, but I couldn't remember doing myself.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
I have wiped it from my memory.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Let's let's get rob it up on the big screen
and see. Let's just check out.

Speaker 16 (32:19):
His shops dancing the tango with his partner Whitney Causson.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
It's Robert Irwin. Wow, a little bit straight out of
the box. So I see what I mean. The snap
super snap.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Look at this it's a bad or speed up.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Now he's left his partner.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
He's doing solo dance.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Oh my god, I got chills. Look at this gone
he is the hell?

Speaker 5 (32:41):
Is that?

Speaker 6 (32:41):
Hell?

Speaker 15 (32:42):
Look?

Speaker 4 (32:42):
I snappy.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Snap super snap, fat fat fat?

Speaker 4 (32:49):
How did you go?

Speaker 8 (32:51):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (32:51):
I'm what did they say about him?

Speaker 3 (32:55):
We'll get to that. Then there was my tango.

Speaker 11 (33:00):
And will you.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Addressed as Dracula?

Speaker 3 (33:01):
That's me.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
There's a lot of smoke on the floor, a lot.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Of my dance teacher said more smoke cover his speech covers.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Up a lot of sins now, but hang on, look
look at that. Look at a frame. See is this
a dance.

Speaker 17 (33:14):
That it ended with you putting her in a coffin
and hand and then we're getting to that.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
So look at that. Yes, and I did put her
in a coffin.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
At the end, yeah, and sat on top of it.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
But you know, if I remember so, the judges said
this for Robert.

Speaker 6 (33:38):
Oh leading man, load powerful, tlea clea, that's the cattle.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
I mean, come on, we're.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
Blushed you Jackman, huge jacket, h Jackman, and what they
say about you loved.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
My god, this may be the kiss of death, but
you actually stayed in time.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
This young kid's going to go places, and I reckon
Robert will do well too.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
He was compared to Hugh Jackman. You were probably compared
to Yahoo series. But I think it's brilliant.

Speaker 12 (34:11):
I was the count I came to suck the Sam
Shit podcast.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Well here we are Finals Week three, the preliminary final round.
There's two matches this weekend Friday Storm versus Sharks Sunday
Broncos Panthers.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
The winners of those.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Two games will play each other in the Grand Final
We are live on Instagram Live if you'd like to
join us.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
What we've decided to do is because my.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Throwing seems more accurate when I'm blindfolded, look like.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
An artist for sculptures by the sea.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
What I've done is to as a blindfold and its stinks.
I'm wearing your throat coat, your neck covering, and it
smells of neck and skin cells. You have your visor
from your helmet covered. Because the sharks are playing. There's
no favoritism. This is just the universe speaking through me,
and this is what we're going to do. I'm going
to throw a dart to see who's going to win
Storm versus Sharks. Yep, I will throw another dart to

(35:07):
see who's going to win Broncos versus Panthers.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
And that's where we're done.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
The winner of those games will be played out here today.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
We'll both be blindfolded. Still.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
You will be handed the balloons of those winning teams,
and I will predict the winner of the Grand Final.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
Do you understand, Brandan.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
That's kind of bold, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
It is kind of bold. Ask the universe.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
This is how it goes, Nostril Dharamas, That's what I
am I'm going to pick a winner.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
But it's all pretty aey, it's all pretty moot.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Well, of course it is, but this is how the
universe is going to do it. So stand up, let's
get going.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Brian's here by.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
Brian is going to have to commentate.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
What's happened before?

Speaker 4 (35:45):
Last week?

Speaker 1 (35:45):
I threw a dart and it hit that camera over there,
which is perversely quite out out of the trajectory where
I'm trying to aim.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
So we'll see how we go and put my blindfold down.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Now another, let's do the first one first in Melbourne
Storm versus the Sharks.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Storm is predicted to win.

Speaker 15 (36:03):
So here we go a man who is blindfolded and
facing me with.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Darts, which is everyone out of the way, Brendon.

Speaker 15 (36:09):
Everyone is now out of the way. Brandon ready, he
is ready and he's waving the dark. Did I pick
the first one? Is the Storm?

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (36:20):
The Storm?

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Game number two Panthers versus Broncos.

Speaker 15 (36:26):
Jonesy has just been handed balloons.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
The experts have said, Panthers, what does the dart say?

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Tell me?

Speaker 4 (36:33):
When he's ready? In his Everyone once again out of
the way.

Speaker 15 (36:35):
Amanda is ready, but you are facing Jenna so don't
how weird?

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Am I throwing yourself accurate?

Speaker 1 (36:40):
When I can't see You're ready, Brendan, Brendan is ready.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
Say your voice so I see where you are.

Speaker 15 (36:47):
And we've had a miss. We've had another miss, but
it's a jones and we have now got our second
Who was it winner? It is the Panthers, all right.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
So now, according to the universe.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
According to Nostril Damas.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
The Panthers will be taking on the Storm in the
Grand Final. Please hand Brendan a balloon of each of
the teams. I'm about I'm about to predure the universe
is about to predict who will win the Grand Final,
and so far I think it's pretty accurate.

Speaker 15 (37:18):
So a man who was blindfolded yet again, is everyone
out of the way, Everyone.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Is out of the red and say some word so
I know where you are.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
I'm right here.

Speaker 15 (37:25):
Here we go. We've had a miss, but it's hit
Jonesy in the face and a man has actually hit
the board behind Jonesy and it's stayed. Here we go,
and we've had another miss, and we've got ourselves a winner.
And the winner of the Grand Final this year will
be the Melbourne Storm.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
The Melbourne storm, as predicted by Nostril Dharamas.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
I've picked a winn.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
I'm going to keep saying that until everyone's enjoying it. Well,
I've loved the way we've picked our winners this year,
she said, picking a little bit of snot out of
her nose.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
Coming up next? Are you the kind of person that
holds a grudge? I'm going to be talking about that.
I'm going to ask you this, Brendan. Are you a
grudge holder?

Speaker 10 (41:26):
No?

Speaker 3 (41:26):
I couldn't be bothered.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
I all the thought that has a burst of anger
and that it's gone.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
Yeah, I have a eh, and then it's gone, and.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
Then it's gone.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
I'm a grudge holder and I'm a sulker, and if
you hurt my feelings, I'll hold on to that, which
is why we're a terrible combination because you go blu
and you think we'll get over it.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
What's the matter with you?

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Yeah, what's the matter with you not realizing that you've
stung me with a shot, me with an arrow?

Speaker 4 (41:52):
Chattery drops.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Today this is the podcast I do with Anita McGregor,
and we're looking at the nature of a grudge. She's
a forensic psychologist, so she brings an interesting spin to
these things. And some of the research says that a
grudge can be enjoyable, which is why we like them,
because a short dose of anger releases dopamine, and the
dopamine is the pleasure chemical. But it's not healthy for

(42:15):
you to hold onto a grudge because if you do
that too much, if you're rubbing that dopamine hit that
nub too often, you'll lose the ability to refeel real
pleasure and you lean into the grudge.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
You're pulling face.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
It's creepy nub and rubbing and pleasure and pleasure.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
But to get over a grudge. And sometimes people can't
remember what the original sin.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Was that created original sins. Right, it's almost like chronic pain.
You can't remember what the genesis of it was.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
And now we're talking about genesis.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
Forgiveness, says this psychologist.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Here is the quality of withdrawing the ability that you
give other people to ruin your day. So you're the
one that can, that has control of your emotions over.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
This, because isn't it that old saying to err is human,
to forgive is divine.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
But it's also like to forgive releases you. That's your
freedom button. To forgive this grudge is your freedom, is
your ticket to freedom.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Having said that, we gets pleasure from grudges, which is
why people hold on to them. My mom had an argument.
I was young, too young, and just sort of relatively
disinterested to follow the story. Mum's not here now, and
now I'm fascinated. She had a falling out with someone
who'd been a very close friend of hers because over
something that they were discussing about.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
The pilot what use the pilot strike?

Speaker 3 (43:38):
Oh, which one was a few? There was one in
the sixties and then it was one in the eighties.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
I think it might have been the one in the
eighties where with Bob Hawk. I don't know in the
eighties and so, but Mum had a falling out with
his friend and I don't think they spoke again.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Really.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Yeah, but a grudge isn't a fight because a fight
is explosive and goes. A grudge, I think is a
small nub that word again, that you hold on.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
To two people don't talk to each other about stuff.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Yeah, Chum Drum is going to beat for this tales
of the grudge. Have you had some falling out years
ago that you're still holding onto or maybe it's quite.

Speaker 4 (44:13):
Valid that you have this grudge.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Everyone else thinks you're being stupid, but they hurt your feelings.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
In a way.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Mick Hucknall from Simply Red was rude to me back
in nineteen ninety six in an interview, and we've I've
never had him on the show since in my career.
Every time Mick Hucknall has been offered, I've just gone nup.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
Do you rub your nub over it?

Speaker 3 (44:33):
No? I don't care, I just go nop. No, he's rude,
and he was rude in nineteen ninety six.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
Do you get a dopamine hit, a very satisfaction.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Yeah, and because now he's not a big deal anymore,
so we love being right. And there was a time
when he was a really big deal and I still
remember going, oh no, but you know he was doing
good songs.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
But he hasn't done anything good, so it makes it
quite sweet. Sucked in. This is like playing in front
of ten people.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
It can still trigger big emotions. Tales of the grudge,
What have you got for us?

Speaker 4 (45:00):
A few hours?

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Man of the Match, double pass to the Red Hot
Summer Tour, The Man Shit Podcast.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Holding a grudge? Holding your grudge not good for you.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
You get a dopamine hit with the feeling of a grudge,
so that's why you lean into it. That's why you
like it, But it's not good for you to hold onto.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
It a little. Grudges aren't bad, but.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
Sometimes you forget what the grudge was actually about. That's
the nature sometimes of a grudge.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
Have you been to the Middle East lately?

Speaker 4 (45:25):
Does a grudge sounds like a funny word when you
break it round? Grudge?

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Carrying a grudge, grudge for the grudge, the tribal trumps beating,
Tales of the grudge.

Speaker 4 (45:37):
Hello Vince, who's holding the grudge?

Speaker 8 (45:41):
Hello Jonesy however, and Amanda and Amanda it was going
to happen. Sorry, no, mine, my well now ex wife
threw me out of my own place.

Speaker 10 (45:57):
Many moons ago now because she was in a very
good mood.

Speaker 8 (46:01):
And then she tried to sort of get back with
me afterwards after I'd moved out, and there was by
then a bit too late.

Speaker 11 (46:09):
Brud should work, it's magic.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
So you held on to the grudge.

Speaker 8 (46:14):
Oh yeah, right, but I think it's paid off though,
because I've since got remarried.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Okay, good, that seems a bit are skirting around subjects.
So she threw you out, women buy and lunch. Don't
threw you out for no reason?

Speaker 18 (46:29):
Oh no, no, no, this was she felt like turning
me out, right, She thought of throwing you out, but
then she said, actually I can get past this, but
you couldn't because you held a grudge and that was marriage.

Speaker 8 (46:42):
Yes, that's right, and that was the marriage ending.

Speaker 10 (46:44):
But it's paid off.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
So you know, if someone's good to me, I'll be.

Speaker 8 (46:50):
Ten times as good to them. But if someone.

Speaker 4 (46:52):
Upsets me, I'm a scorpio too.

Speaker 8 (46:55):
I don't have something to do with it.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
If someone up set you, that's it.

Speaker 8 (46:57):
You like the Hulk, Yes, that's right, thank you, Brandon.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
But hopefully your pants stay.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
It's funny as you it's funny with a Hulk that
his carves split the pants, but they still stay on
at the toilet for his model.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Either very small genitals or a strong gusset right to say, well.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
You would like you in he sentry a pantiless vince.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
I still think that's a major graduate we're looking at,
you know, like no grudges your mum talking about the
airlines strike.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
But to leave a marriage over a grudge is a
big deal. This is what a grudge is.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
I feel that I'm being left wanting what do you want?

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Well, I just want someone left the milk cap off
and they had a grudge for that.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
We might get that, but a grudge is a grudge
is a grudge. We're not here to judge the quality
of your grudge.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
Jonesy and Amanda Poda, Amanda, what do you know about numerology?
How many fingers am I holding up? Just one?

Speaker 3 (47:59):
Hello?

Speaker 11 (47:59):
There?

Speaker 2 (47:59):
The tribal drum has been beating tales of the grudge.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
These are lightweight grudges, not a big grudge.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
It can be anything. A grudge is a grudge.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
As we've said, we get a dope the mean hit
when we have a grudge, which is why it's pleasurable.
It's not good to hold onto it over a long
period of time. But forgiveness is tough.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
I'm talking about like say my late Nana Maari, for example,
they wanted to sell her Holden and put her in
a Japanese car in the seventies and she had this outrage.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
Wouldn't go in a Japanese car.

Speaker 4 (48:27):
That's a big grudge.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Is that a big grudge?

Speaker 4 (48:29):
That's a big grudge.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
She was opposed to a whole nation at the time.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
This would have been nineteen eighty five actually, so we
all prepared to come and what's the big deal.

Speaker 4 (48:36):
Yes, we forgot that.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
That old thing's fallen a bit.

Speaker 4 (48:39):
She was fully adjacent, went on in World War.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
Two, fully adjacent, and she said I'm not getting in
the Datson. I will not.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
And what happened, Well they had to go back to
the car dealer and get the old hr holding back.

Speaker 4 (48:50):
Well that's a big grudge.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
The tribal drums beating four tales of the grudge, and
maybe your grudge is a big well to you.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
They are.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
If that's your grudge, you're holding onto it a little
nugget that you feel when you talk about it.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
Maybe that's light that Mick Hucknall did to me all
those years ago in nineteen ninety six in the Heritage
Hotel in Brisbane. Maybe I should let that go. And
so next time he is offered up on our show,
we should say, come on, Mick, why don't you come on?

Speaker 4 (49:17):
Are Sarah sah Hi?

Speaker 10 (49:21):
How are you going?

Speaker 11 (49:22):
Very well?

Speaker 4 (49:22):
Is this your grudge?

Speaker 10 (49:25):
Yeah, it's probably not the best one to have, But
you know that kid that's at school that is I know,
they're just mean and they're nasty and no one else
sees it, and they're mean and nasty to your kid,
and then that kid kind of in your kid get
on and then friends. But then they come home to
play and you're like, I just don't like you trying

(49:48):
to be the adult, but you're holding that grudge against
like a ten year old.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
You've got to be the bigger parson, do you?

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Does it manifest? Like do you put less nice things
in their sandwiches?

Speaker 10 (49:59):
Yes? Because then they do it again, and then your
kid just forgives them and you're like, I can't do that.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
So that kid comes around, you offer your kid nice
green cordial gi green cord.

Speaker 3 (50:09):
The other kid gets some brackish tapwater.

Speaker 10 (50:12):
I don't step that loc goodness. But at the same time,
you're just kind of go.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Never underestimate the power of brackish tapwater, or never underestimate
the power of a cranky mother.

Speaker 4 (50:22):
You annoy my kid, I will never get over it.
It's true. He brings out the lines.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Sarah doesn't it's mama Bear right there.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
That's right, Mama Bear with a grudget. Well, my son
is studying communications media at UNI.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
What do I do with that? How do you give away?
How I see coal cans?

Speaker 1 (50:46):
He loves the idea of radio, which is why he
a couple of days a week works with AT and
the Australian Traffic Network and who do our traffic? And he,
for the first time ever, has been doing our traffic
this morning. And you know, I just think, what a
beautiful thing. What I held him in my arms as
a little baby, to think our careers would collide like this.

(51:07):
And I texted him last night because I knew he
had to get up at the crack of dawn, and
I said, I'm so excited for our jobs to collide
tomorrow morning.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
And he said, I know what a cool moment, what.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
A cool really really is, And I'd be listening to
him today and he's doing.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
Such a and he's got the skills. He's not just
some nepo baby job we did and thought he was.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Doing it a next minute, next minute, I said, I
could have pulled some strings, mate, I can get anyone
on the radio.

Speaker 3 (51:30):
But now he wanted to do it by himself.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
Absolutely, but let's.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
Have a listen to his chops.

Speaker 5 (51:34):
Green Acre fire crews have packed up. All lanes are
reopened on the Hume Highway. Bernia Road traffics picking back
up to speed. Take a look at the M four.
It's taking thirty five minutes eastbound.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
From Mulgo Rooda Church Street. Nice of questions.

Speaker 5 (51:46):
Because all of the Hume Highway is slow nor found
as you approach the M five and seven Hills, Old
Windsor Road's busy both ways.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
At Powers Road.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
It's all well and good to do that, but what
about the money makers? What about the credits save?

Speaker 5 (51:58):
After thirty percent off selected sofas, furniture, and homewares. Get
into Harris Farm and get value with values like their
economy wholly from baby packs. The flavor like Red Brewster's
five point fifty pineapple subbox is close to a holiday
with celebrity cruises. And then there's this save after thirty
percent off selected celebrity massive pineapple balls.

Speaker 3 (52:20):
Get it where you can while you can.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
That sounds more like him.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
Give him a Caruso script he's ready to talk about.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Oh dear, well done Jack, I've loved listening to it.
Well done.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
Podcast. What polies do we have today?

Speaker 19 (52:48):
You know what gets my goolies When your son constantly
throws his dirty clothes behind his bedroom door, and you
keep telling him to f in the basket, and this

under his pillow to teach him a lesson, and he
doesn't even notice, and he sleeps to them and the
next morning the back ploun the door again. That he

(53:09):

Speaker 1 (53:41):
It's the kindest thing you take to someone's house, but
you never eat them. They're put out on a table
at Christmas? Does anyone actually eat them?

Speaker 2 (53:47):
I don't know what a more outraged about the size
of the tart or the fact that we're talking about
Christmas stuff now?

Speaker 1 (53:52):
