Speaker 5 (00:27):
And we took your calls on what malfunctioned.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Malfunction, malfunction, malfunction.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Great per flick with Beno Sha Ben Ben, Hey, you
got me confused with Peter Dutton.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You came at me very hard there.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Least it's about video games as movies.
Speaker 6 (00:47):
Yeah, yeah, Look, I can imagine that when I was
coming in today that the idea of a movie based
on the Minecraft computer game is not really.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I did have a thing, a bit of a giggle, Elli,
but I do love both Jack Black and Jason.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
Jason what a man, right, and they don't have Box Squad.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
It's one of those films.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
It's a combination of live action and a lot of
CG stuff. Okay, so the biggest surprise for me of
this movie called a Minecraft movie pretty good.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
It's actually pretty good.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
I was going I was going in there last night
thinking the chances of this being actually entertaining is so
slim because I haven't played Minecraft. My daughter plays Minecraft.
It seems fun, like creative, put the blocks and build
them up and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
That's what I just wonder if it's one of those
ones where you build stuff.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Yeah, you build stuff, and it's kind of world building
kind of game. There's different modes, you can make it
a bit different. But but yeah, so basically that's what
the film is about creativity. The game is about creativity.
But I'm not emotionally invested in the game.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
You know.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Sometimes you get these adaptations and there's so many fans
of the game, and then they just like stick it
to the movie. I didn't honor the storylines or the characters,
or it's like, come on, it's a computer.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Tell me it. Ignore the little nuances.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
That's right, it's not Shakespeare.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Shakespeare here.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Yes, So I went in there with low expectations and
I saw it at Event Event cinemas in in lou
in their four D cinema.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I heard about it.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
It's like it's like, you know, like Disneyland, some of
those rides that you have a Disneyland, the four D cinema.
So you're sitting in this kind of seat and rocks
and moves, tilts forwards and tilts back, and it shakes
you around like your popcorns go on everywhere. But it's
not only it's not only that. As well as that,
you've got wind that blows into your face. You've got
(02:40):
little somehow it squirts water its water. So there's one
there's one moment in the film where there's like a
minecraft lama that spits and it's like there's a little
bit of water that slashes on your face. It is
quite unsettling. And little little jets in that in the
chair when they well, basically everything but that and so
(03:02):
and then when the arrows are flying through the air,
like there's little whistles of wind that come past your
ear at.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
The first of its price.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Smell, craziest experience. I would recommend it for this movie
in particular. If you something else, go see The Remains
of the Day. I don't know if it worked that
well for that film, but did he see my Craft movie?
It's quite amazing. So anyway, the film itself is a
pretty basic plot. Jack Black starts off as this yeah yeah,
(03:33):
surprise surprise, starts off as this young boy dreams of
working as a minor, so it could be a story
about a kid in w A. But you know, he
forgets those dreams and starts this unfulfilling career as a
doorknob salesman, and then then he remembers then he remembers, hey,
I wanted to work in the mines. So he goes
into the mines where he discovers this magical cube that
(03:56):
opens a portal, and then he ends up in the
Minecraft course, which is all CGI block animals and things
like that, and then he kind of discovers that there's
this evil sorceress who wants to take over the Minecraft
world and steal its riches, and so he ends up
teaming up with some other humans that get sucked into
the portal and they have to kind of go on
(04:18):
this sort of quest to save the Minecraft world, and
which is how Jason Momoa comes into it. He was
a former child gamer prodigy called Garrett the garbage man Garrison,
who's grown up to be a complete failure as an adult.
He sort of lives in this kind of like you know,
sort of glorious memories of his past, his glory days.
(04:40):
He's into his eighties, hair metal, drives a like Corvette
Stingray or something like that, wears like leather jackets with
fringes dangling down, and it just hilarious character for Jason
Momoa to play. Sort of thinks he's a big hero
like he is in all the hero movies that he
stars in.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
He's a total dud.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
He's a total dud though, right, And because.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
The film is directed by Jared hess who's most notable
for directing Napoleon Dynamite, so he very much brings that
sort of comedic aesthetic to the film. So you imagine
Jason Momoa as Napoleon Dynamite, So that's kind of.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
What his character is like. Gotcha.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
And then you've got a couple of kids, of course,
because it's a kid's movie, so you need some kid characters,
and they're sort of roped in as well. One of
them is the star one of the stars of the
Wednesday series with General Taker and so it's basically a
quest movie. But the reason it works so well Jason
Momoa is so hilarious as you're sort of playing against
type as like a guy who thinks he's a hero
(05:37):
but as a total does. And of course Jack Black, right,
So this movie would look terrible if it had anybody
other than Jack Black, because he is so unique in
his way to be over the top and so ridiculous
yet somehow also still very cool. Yeah, very funny. So
think about him in School of Rock, think about him
(05:58):
in Jumanji, of of that movie. He is, he's just hilarious.
And he's singing a couple of songs in the film as.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Well, Here's the greatest here, that's right.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
That's right, and and it's got to it's got a
Star of Oranges and New Black in there as well.
Uh and and she at one point says, oh, you know, like,
if I knew you could sing that good, if I
knew you had the voice of an angel, I wouldn't
have been so bothered by your smell.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
And there's there's a there's a moment where Jack Black
and Jason Momoa's character who don't get on there sort
of they're sort of frenemies. I guess where they have
to sort of there in this flying contraption and they
have to squeeze through this this tiny hole in the wall,
so they realize they have to go sort of top
and tail and form a man sandwich. That's so, that's
(06:43):
the sort of humor that we're talking about here. It's
a little puerile, but I think the kiddies will like it.
It's very bright, it's very colorful. There's some great songs
in the soundtrack. And you know, I guess if you
if you go into this thinking that it's going to
be high brow cinema, you're gonna come out thinking what the.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Hell did I just watch?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Who's going to go thinking it's going to be again again?
This is a minecraft movie and it doesn't pretend to
be anything else. And that's what I respect about it.
It is very, very silly. But if you liked the
Jumanji films, you know this is definitely going to be
up your alley. And for the kiddies, you know, like
they're gonna they're.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Gonna love it.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
And does it have Jennifer Coolidge?
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Oh, I almost Jennifer Coolidge has a cameo in this
as the vice principal of a school in the real world.
And so it goes without saying that Jennifer Coolidge is
the queen. She is hilarious playing herself. She has this
like she has this principal student meeting with the main
human boy in the film and just starts talking about
(07:45):
her own relationship breakdown instead of talking about what she's
supposed to be disciplining him, about how she separated from
her husband. And then and then one of the Minecraft villagers,
which are these kind of like NPC characters in the
game that just sort of wander about aimlessly and they're going, oh,
they don't really do anything.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Get away.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
One of those comes through the portal into the real world,
and Jennifer Coolidge, who's just off this divorce, bumps into
this kind of non speaking Minecraft character. It takes him
out for dinner because he can't kind of fight it,
and it's just and that's just hilarious and and and
the waitress comes up and goes, oh, are you finished,
and she goes, no, I think he's Swedish. And so
(08:30):
that's that gives you an idea of what this plenty
in there for the adults. If you like a bit
of silliness, Lisa to say.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Man, where John, Well it's out today? How many Stiffler's
mums giving?
Speaker 6 (08:42):
I'm going to give it three and a half.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Where do you stand on buskers clery?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
You kind of live in the heart of busking zone
down in Frio.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I don't get a lot of them at the dog
Swamps shop really, but you pass a few every day.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You still get quite a few when you go heart Free,
especially down South Terrace are. There are a few there,
and some are very good. Some I don't like it.
One of them my blues fans. I hate it when
they butcher a Stevie Rover von song.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Well, it's interesting you should say that because in London
buskers playing loud songs over and over have been compared
to psychological torture by a judge who has ordered Westminster
Council to stop the racket. In fact, it was Global
Radio who took the Council to court over the noise,
which it's said is forcing some staff to work in cupboards.
(09:31):
The judge says they're being subjected to industrially amplified daily
concerts outside their windows, and that while the volume is
the principal mischief. It is clear that the nuisance is
exacerbated by the repetition and poor quality out Hey, guys,
not only are you allowed your crap, I mean the
judge observed in the hearing that the use of repetitive
(09:53):
sounds is and I quote a well publicized feature of
unlawful but effective psychological torture.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Technical you keep saying, don't yet know it. They play
this and.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Over four about seven days at Waco. After the rulings,
a guy who owned a restaurant in nearby Saint Martin's
Court said, when you're forced to listen to these guys
day after day, the same track over and over, at
the level they play, it's affecting our lives.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
He said. He tried double glazing, but no go.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
He said he asked one busker to turn the music down,
and that he doesn't think he can mention what the
busker asked him to do didn't go down well.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Apparently.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Another witness said the vocals are worse than the instruments,
and even worse when they're out of tune, and so yes,
so the judge has has agreed with them and has
ordered Westminster Council to do something about it. But the
council doesn't seem to be backing down. It says it
will continue seeking a balance between minimizing nuisance to our
residents and businesses whilst ensuring performers can continue to add
(10:58):
to the vibrant heritage of street entertainment.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Does sound like that Jacon much on board?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Oh, it doesn't really judge.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's so loud and driving people crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
They're climbing in the cupboards to do their work.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
That's a bit much.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I'll lead to more people wanting to work from home, exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
The Sure Report on ninety six AIRFM.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Well, half of Hollywood has been paying tribute to actor
Val Kilma, who died yesterday at just sixty five. Actor
and friend Josh Brolin wrote, you were a smart, challenging, brave, uber,
creative firecracker. Matthew Modean tweeted rest in peace, Vell Kilmer.
If it wasn't for our chance encounter in nineteen eighty five,
I mean never have been cast in full metal jacket.
(11:42):
Actress Jennifer Tilly, She's very funny, recalled a long time ago,
I was auditioning for the movie The Doors. It was
kind of a cattle call. They were running behind so
we were spilling out of the casting office, sitting on
the porch, the lawn and the driveway. All of a sudden,
the sixties convertible came screeching up, blaring doors music at
top volume, and a guy jumped out and strode inside.
(12:04):
He had wild hair, and he was barefoot, shirtless, and
wearing nothing but a pair of tight leather pants.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
We all looked at each other, like, who is this guy?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Well, of course it was Val Kilma, and from that
minute on, nobody else stood a chance. And the official
Top Gun franchise account shared remembering Val Kilma, whose indelible
cinematic mark span genres and generations rest in peace. Iceman,
as you know, I've never seen Top Gun, but I
take everyone's word for it that he was wonderful in
that movie. For mine, his shining moment was one hundred
(12:35):
percent Jim Morrison in The Doors. He seemed to embody
absolutely everything we could imagine about the Lizard King.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Oh, come on, just a word gym Stone's change when
they played here.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, why don't you change your name to uh Sydney
or Irving Man's Eric. It's just worde nah good door.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
You know that it would be on True Here We Go.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
If I was to see.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
We Couldn't Get Hot High.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
It is.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Best to see the movie, isn't it regular That fantastic
ed Sullivan's situation where they tried to get him to say, girl,
we couldn't get much groovy.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I don't say groovy.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Don't say Hi thinks of drugs right now. He had
an amazing body of work. He was Batman, of course,
in nineteen ninety five's Batman Forever. He shared the screen
with Marlon Brando in the Island of Doctor Moreau, with
Dennis Hopper in True Romance.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
With Paccino and de Niro in Heat You Didn't Know
Where to Look.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
There was that one scene where they're all together, and
with Robert Downey Jr. In two thousand and five's Black
comedy Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Idiots in the dictionary, You're not your a picture of me, No,
the definition of the word idiot, which you are.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I've Ow died of complications from pneumonia after a long
battle with throat cancer. Rest in peace, voll Kilma. In
other news this morning, Brad Peter's reportedly returning as Cliff Booth,
the laid back stunt man he played and won an
Oscar for in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He
and directed David Fincher, who worked with Brad on films
like Fight Club and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,
(14:27):
putting together a spinoff which has a script by Once
Upon a Time in Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino, and they
hope to start shooting in the.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Middle of the year.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Now, there's one thing you need to know about this story.
It came out on April Fool's Day.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Now that doesn't mean it's not true.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
We don't have the definitive answer yet, but it's such.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
A great story with.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Such big names that I feel I need to temper
my excitement just a little bit in case.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
I hope it's true.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but just.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
In case because it did come out on April Fool's Day,
and you talk and pit finsher Tarence. Yeah, we shall see.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
We'll just keep her fingers crossed.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I love the story. We shall see.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
He's any funny you said that because Radio Made of
Ours got announced on Facebook that he got married on
them on the weekend. But it came out on April
Fool's Day, and.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I surely not.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
No, he wouldn't do that, but it does make you
think when that date pops up, it's more crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Weaser more podcasts.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Got a little bit of a problem this side of
the desk. What I've bitten my tongue, like really really
badly in the middle, and it's bleeding a bit and
all that kind of stuff, and people are so tough
and up then, but yeah, probably should.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
I can't remember the last time I bit my tongue,
but I bite the side of my inside of my
mouth all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I hate that. Do you want
have a look because you can be my doctor?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Right?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Do that thing nearly hit the desk.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Talking about my tongue like that? Do I need to splint?
We get a tongue splinter or a cast?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Is it looking at it the second time? Why not?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
All right?
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Isolate the spot. I don't want to see the whole.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Okay, I've got I've got it, my freak.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
I've got a long, very very long time.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, and I've bitten right almost right through the bloody
all the way through. Do you think I need stitches?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
I don't think so. It's not bleeding.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It was it was bleeding early. Yeah, And if I
touch it enough and all mail make it bleed again.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Put a nice block on it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Okay, great idea, Thanks Doc.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
You're welcome.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
The Greyhounds for Pets w A adoption day is on
this weekend this Saturday in Southern River. For all the information,
head to Greyhounds as Pets dot com dot au. The
ambassador for Greyhounds for Pets W Ways, I'm very good friend,
Damien Martin.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
We have would saved you for ages.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
It has been a long, long time week. We work
together on a weekly basis. I want to go back
to two thousand and nine through about twenty eleven twelve,
so it is we were babies. We were babies, and
now I'm old, gray hair but lucky enough to be
working with greyhounds as pets while you to continue dominating the.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Did you get involved in this?
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Well, I've been fortunate enough to go into my second
year as an ambassador for it and as an out
of the blue phone call from a person who used
to work at the Wildcats, and you know, we're just
reconnecting us what he's up to these days. And he
back then about twelve months ago, was working with Greyhounds
as pets and then Mara, who's in the studio with
us today. We actually met at a dog park in
about two thousand and twelve, and I was like, it's
(17:41):
only fitting that she has stayed involved and dogs have
reconnected us. So it's been a wonderful twelve months and
I've learned so much about them as pets.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
But I can't help myself.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Every time I either foster a greyhound or read a
new ground, I go straight to their racing record and
see what they did when they were active athletes. But
like any athlete, they retire and become super lazy. So
I really connect well with the greyhounds because that's my
life these days.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Do you break the rules mate, when you're a fosters.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
I was sharing some stories that I do enjoy fostering them,
but you're probably supposed to give them some discipline. So
when they gave to their forever home, yep, they're a
bit further trained. But no, I've got three daughters who
absolutely adore it when I bring over a greyhound and
all of a sudden they're coming inside.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
We're taking them.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
For multiple walks a day, all the things we get
occasionally on the couch, so all the things we're not
supposed to do. I then have to apologize profusely to
greyhounds as pets and say, I'm probably sending our beautiful
greyhound back less trained than when we receiving exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
So hard is it to foster a dog and then
give it back again? I reckon I'd be scared. I'd
end up with twenty eight dollars and I can.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Imagine another one.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
That is the tough part of it, because we've done
it a couple of times, and you know, like as mentioned,
I've got three daughters.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Maggie's eight, Bonnie.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Six copies to and runs the house and she shows
her love through brutal affection. So she's very hands on
with the greyhound.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Brutal affection for brutal.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
But after about four weeks we do sit down with
the girls. They know up front that the puppy is
not staying with us. We had Turtle twelve months ago
and ran like a turtle, didn't have many wins when
it was a racing greyhound.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Then we had Treble.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
Then we had Treble whose racing name, whose racing name
was played the music a bit more successful, But we
let the girls know we've only got these dogs for
four weeks, Let's have a lot of fun, showed lots
of love, because beyond four weeks you do start to
have that strong connection.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
It's not fair for the greyhounds either. Hindsight.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
It's good fun binding thing, isn't it. And this is
not just one day. There is the adoption day. This
is a month. This is a feral stretch, is.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
An adoption month.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Yeah, typically I think it costs around two hundred dollars
to adopt a greyhound. Instead for the full month of April,
it's going to be seventy five dollars and this weekend
if you filled out an application, because they do want
to make sure the greyhound is right fit for the
family and vice versa. So I've got three kids, not
much of a backyard, and so they make sure that
we've got a dog that'll accommodate.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
It's like that match our environment, you know.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Well, I like to joke that Mara is the equivalent
of maps whoever they specialists are.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
But she does a better job. She does a better job.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Better job.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Sorry, it was just.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Patty Reds actually last.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Yeah, that's right. So it is amazing, whether it's fostering
or adopting. The one thing I love, you know, bruising
out there when it comes to my role as an
ambassador is just how many misconceptions there are about greyhounds.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Yeah, I one this morning. I thought they were didn't
need any exercise dogs. I thought they'd just like to
sit and lightly because I've.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Done it all when they're running.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Yeah, but you do have to take them for a
couple of walks a day.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
No, probably only one. You broke the rule.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
That's why I was breaking theor was well that you
want to go for the second or third because they
are so lazy.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
It's just that the kids were so excited. We'd wake
up and go for.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
A quick walk get home from school. Can we go
for a quick walk? But yeah, about thirty minutes in
the morning, and they will probably just lounge around for
the next twenty three and a half hours of the day.
That's why they despite their size, their good apartment dogs.
You don't need a farm, you don't need a Yeah,
they're good companion dogs because of how lazy.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
They are, clean and everything too. They're so sort of streamlined.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Yeah, they do have that shine on their coat I'm
envious of. But the other thing that I love. I
just feel like I'm bragging. But is their vertebrate is
their spine, So if you haven't look up closed, you
can see it protruding a little bit because it's only
them and cheaters. Don't fact check this in case I'm wrong.
Honds and cheaters that have the ability to have all
(21:32):
four legs off the ground at the same time because
of how they run and they're bending their vertebrae allowed it.
I believe their spine. I think I think I'm getting
this right.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Hence the speed the fastest fast I'm going with it.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
You're probably gonna have a listener text really short ago
that's not right at all.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Which not as simple as just showing up this weekend.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Either.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
You've got to get get onto the greyhoundspets dot com
dot au and all the information about what you have
to do so that they can hook you up with
the right dog.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Is there spot on down in Southern River. They'll have
about forty greyhounds that you can come down meet and greet.
But the reason once you feel out that application in
advance is just so they can start to try and
fit the right potential adoptee or foster with the right Greyhound,
and then also make sure it's not too overwhelming for
the Greyhounds as well, because we don't want four hundred,
five hundred and six hundred people showing up just for
a snoop. We want people who are genuine about taking
(22:22):
care of these incredible.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Wish I'm giving it to you, man, but we can't
let you go without I have to ask the question,
Josh Kitty astraining basketball style in the NBA half court.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You would Stoppedhi, would you? Lebron couldn't do it, but
you would have stopped him as a defensive champ.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
That the beautiful thing about being retired is the longer retired,
the better you were.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
So yeah, let's go with that.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Let's go with that.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
But Lebron's su mistakes you would never have made in
your career. Mate.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
First, he gets the steal off Lebron that he hits
the half court shot to win the game. They're down
five with fourteen seconds ago. You should not lose from there.
But Josh Giddy, the season is put together after getting draft.
Did you know I read somewhere recently that between he
and Dyce and Daniels they both stand to make about
three hundred and forty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Each US across five years. Is that all? So?
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Yeah, No, it's a wonderful time for Australians out there
in the basketball community.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
It was a great bit of commentary too, guy wrot
out every australianism.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Pie, we'll take what we can get, We'll take what
we can get. When I lived in America for four
years and whenever we go to a party hosted by
our friend's family, they'd be like, hey, we brought you
some fosters. I'm like, oh, should drinking in Australia be nice?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
To see what it takes.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Life post basketball obviously trading.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
You well, yeah, I can't complain at all. It's coming
up on five years since I retired. I was it
has it really has? So I got the three daughters
up quickly.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
And Maggie. So Maggie is the only one that's old
enough to remember her as a basketball player, and the
first five years of her life she used to introduce
herself as Maggie Martin from the Perth Wildcat. And that's
to say, Darling, that's not your actual name.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
But she loved it.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Get on that.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Oh yeah, yeah, she still looks at photos of those days.
But she's on the same team as Jesse Wagstaff's daughter.
And then they're on the same team as Maddie Prutti's daughter.
And it's funny because Jesse current captain of the Wildcats,
I spent some time with the Wildcats. We'll sit on
the baseline every Saturday at our daughter's games. Well, Maddie
Pruddi is the former Eagles player. Coaches so and now
(24:33):
I'm proud to brag that they went two full seasons
of being undefeated, and Maddie hosts us at his house
over the weekend as a thank you and to wind
up to what's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So super coach, Maddie Prudis and Jesse weak Stuff season
seventeen coming. I think it's that it's brilliant.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
I don't mind admitting about four years ago, I actually
bought him a retirement president mid season, thinking okay, this
is the coaches.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Well end up drinking it myself because I realize is
too good not to go around.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
Yeah, no, it wasn't the leftovers I brought home from America.
But now I'm so wrapped he is going around again.
And to be honest, I think this would have been
his easiest yes when deciding whether to play on or
to retire than in probably the previous two or three years.
Is just offering so much to his teammates in the league.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Still he's a good man.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Well.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Greyhounds for Pets wa Doption day is nine am to
twelve pm this Saturday. All the details are at Greyhoundsspets
dot com dot are you great to see you?
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Good to see you both. Next time I come in
I'll bring two greyhounds.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
On at least.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
So if you saw this story about the really concerned
commuters and the Sydney Metro people. We speak about the
New South Wales Transport Union who were very well what
they described as one of the worst rail safety incidents
in a decade. What happened maybe a little loverly dramatic,
but it's still dangerous. So commuted commuters on the Sydney
train the Sydney Metro got footage and photos of a
(25:59):
train door sitting wide open as the carriage barreled towards
its next stop. So it's gone between. At eight o'clock
in the morning, between Chatswood and Crow's Nest in Sydney,
the door opened for the entire run of traffic, you know,
all the way through that train line, and two people
believed to be trained staffers were dressed in black standing
in front of the door, blocking commuters going through it.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
You know what, well, I don't think they're going to
go through it while it's moving.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I think they're worried about people.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
For there there is one idiot in every bunch that
wouldn't go down well on some of those Indian trains.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
You see on Oh my God on Tokyo.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Frammed them in.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Like yes, that holds them in.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah. So they said a.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
One the door fault was identified on the train traveling
between those two stations that's Chatswood and Crow's Nest. If
you know Sydney, you'll know how busy those lines are.
And they said the fault was now, well, they've reported
it and it's been put under investigation. They basically said
this train should never have left, but they did have
the staff members there just in case they had to
play catch. And I was thinking, I mean, like we said,
(26:58):
very very dramatic, nothing went awrye, which is good, But
we were asking today what malfunctioned. I have told you
that I got a car and then the old man
had a car right, and it was it was not
just any car, it was a Statesman. It was beautiful,
steady and he said, look, I'm not driving his carny,
or do you want to buy it off me? So
I bought it off offer him. He's in Queensland, so
he shipped it over. It was a big v.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
I wouldn't want to park that big beauty.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It was a legend. But the problem with the Statesman
people who know that the eights. You could see the
petrol gage go down every time he came for a drive.
Literally unfortunately it's poor stadie. I don't know why. For
some reason it was it had severe electrical faults. So
I'd be driving, I'd be driving. One night that was
I was on Reid Highway. I'm driving like it started
raining and the sunroof just started opening and closing by itself.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
It was like this car was like possessed. The statement, Yeah,
what do you reckon? I reckon? And I said to
him did you have any problems with do you have
any problems with his car?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
And he goes no, I just played innocent much so
I still paid for it. But so that happened, and
then every bit of instrumentation on the dash would start
flashing all at once.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I'm going, we've got some serious issues with this car.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Craig and Greenmount what malfunction?
Speaker 8 (28:12):
Yeah, Well, I was in the late seventies driving down
the Wanneroo Road with my then girlfriend down my wife,
yes for many, many years, and Wanneroo Road in my
XR Falcon And if you know the x are it was.
It was a car carved out of a piece of meat.
It was just absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
And anyway, driving.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
Down the road changing gears, three on the tree, gearstick
came out in my head.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Oh no, I've got a bet on.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
So I turned the car off, rolled over to the
side of the road, went to the boot, pulled out
a great big screw drive for the biggest one I
could find, and a hammer walked back into the car,
slammed it into the slammed it into the hole where
the stock was and I drove around like that for
the next four years.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
Oh my god, is that Wow?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Is that the moment where she thought you're my forever?
Look at you with your hammery? Yeah, and you may
diver work.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Craig was a bloke that would walk into her forest
with a with a Swiss army.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, you're the guy, Craig Iver, You're
you're the go to.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Craig. That's good.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
And did you hear the way that Craig spoke with
love about the car? Yes, right from the get go
to the middle.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Kristen and Darling Towns. What malfunctioned?
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Hey, guys atm machine malfunctions.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Don't tell me it was spitting out money?
Speaker 9 (29:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
I asked for one.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Hundred dollars and five hundred dollars popped out.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
What a dilemma.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
How long before you spent?
Speaker 9 (29:51):
And it said that I only took a hundred dollars out.
I was very honest and went into the bank and
they were very thankful.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
I mean, there's a it's going to catch that look
on your face that clearly says hello, walk away the car.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Already attention to myself because I'm in.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
On the one hand, you're thinking, well, this isn't my fault,
this is you idiots did this.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
But on the other hand, you're thinking, what if what
if they know? What if it's marked? What if it's
going to explode?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Kristen, when you got the last of it. You know
when you got the five hundred in your hand, was
there were there two or three seconds when you went,
maybe I could where are disguise?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Forever? There was to be honest, Yeah, it's five hundred bucks.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
I know it's just yes, thanks.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Chris Citizen Christian, Yeah, you just I.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Mean the thing that the thing that stops you is
the fear of you know, they're going.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
To know, of course, of course I think.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Most of us would if we could.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
It's like if you reach into a you know, a
bush on the side of the road, and you've pulled
out a suitcase with five five hundred thousand dollars in it,
You're going, is there a camera on money?
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And is this good money?
Speaker 5 (30:58):
And is it marked? Is yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Someone going to go, oh, you're better come with me
as soon as I try to use it.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
That's the kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
But you know, there is that whole possession being nine
tenths of the law thing where if something if you
hand it in, if it's not claimed in a certain
amount of time, it is yours. Because it did happen
with this money that was found when I lived in Melbourne,
there was I think it was three.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
It was found in a suitcase at the elston Wick
train station, and I believe that ultimately the people that
handed it in after many many months, got to keep it.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
That's a nice kit because of their honesty.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
That was clearly that money.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I was always worried about opening up the case or
the bag and spurting all the ink everywherevity movies, yes, exactly.
Malfunctions are plenty. We're talking about the day, Well it was.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
You were talking about a train in Sydney packed with
commuters within its door didn't close.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Sydney Metro busy, busy and they had a couple of
staff standing there and no one fell out of the train.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Well, Michelle, and Canning Vale also has a train storry.
Hello Michelle, Hello, what happened with your train?
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (32:03):
Well, I caught used to catch the train twice date
to school from seventy nine to eighty three, and our
trains were not the electronic type that you get now,
and we used to have to shut the doors when
we stopped and open them to get out.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Can you had the passengers had to yes?
Speaker 9 (32:27):
Another I was thirteen thirteen to seventeen, so we get
each one of us would get on one side because
you couldn't. Your arms wouldn't be long enough to close
both doors at the same time, so there'd be one
person on one side, one person on the other.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Is so childhood, it was a bit more rudimentary.
Speaker 9 (32:56):
Halt when you're hear them playing, you know, saying that
I didn't shut the electronic ones because I'm like.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
That's nothing. Yeah, yeah, you're doing it like for the workers.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
That's amazing. Yeah, thanks michell re memory, Thanks Michelle.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Were simpler times, I want to mean, you know, I
always laugh, well just not laugh its not funny. But
the kids these days, aren't They in booster chairs in
the back of the car until they're.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
About seventy twenty eight And we used to stand.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Up, jumping up and down, hanging on to the back
of the.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Of course if it's an accident. Were you fly through
the winter, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
But still most of us didn't.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
But they're in there very seas when they're you.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Know, they're they're starting to get a.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Mustache five a side, very different times at.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
More pay more podcasts soon. Well, we are exactly one
month today out from the election because it is May
the third, and the leader of the federal Liberal Party
Peter Dutton's town and has popped in Hello.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Less of Morning Morning, thanking me.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Well, big old general question.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
What are the Liberal Party's key objectives to secure the
win on May the third?
Speaker 10 (34:12):
Well, we've got a lot to talk about, and I
think there's you know, probably most people are tuned out.
Maybe they'll start to tune in a little bit closer
to the date. People are busy running kids around and
work and all the rest of it. So understand that
most people aren't that interested. But I think it's a
huge election for our country and we have standing in
the world which is at thread at the moment with
(34:33):
the tariffs and with the circumnavigating of our country with
the boat. But the economy I don't think has been
well managed out of Canberra either. The Prime Minister is
promising a seventy cent a day tax cut in fifteen
months time. We're promising a twenty five cent per liter
reduction in the price of diesel and.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Petrol and we'll start it straight away.
Speaker 10 (34:52):
So we've got to provide some support to families right
now who are really you know, a lot of who
are struggling. We've put more money into homeless and those
services so that we can provide support to what really
is a working poor. At the moment, people are working
harder than ever before but just can't get ahead. So
I think there are a lot of issues. I think
crime is a huge issue across the country as well,
and we as a federal government, I think can be
(35:15):
doing a lot more. And as a former policeman, I'm
very very much focused on that because I think crime
and the ability to live in your own home peacefully
and without the threat of your car being stolen or
being breaken into, et cetera, I think is absolutely sacrosanct.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
To me. It seems like it's the way crime is
dealt with that is a big problem. I mean, the
police do their job and then it gets to the court.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
Fail.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
And I've said this before.
Speaker 10 (35:43):
I worked in the sex offender squad as a detective
there and one of the reasons I came into Parliament
was that just this incredible frustration where you would deal
with somebody who had been raped or been.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
A sexual assault for the police after.
Speaker 10 (35:56):
All of that investigation and it'll be a couple of
years center or whatever, and it's just it's unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
It doesn't reflect.
Speaker 10 (36:03):
Community values and At the same time, you've got outlaw
motorcycle gangs who are you know, they're the ones buying
the stolen cars, and they're the ones supplying the kids
with drugs, who are breaking into homes to feed their
drug habit And so that's why I think there's a
lot that we can do at a federal level, and
I'm really focused on that Pedro. It's easy to throw
around big numbers and multi millions of dollars, but when
(36:25):
it comes to the mining industry, for farmers and for
roads here in the West, for people in the West,
what can we look forward to if you get well.
We're going to make an announcement today over six hundred
million dollars of additional funding for road infrastructure, particularly around mining,
agriculture and farming, so that we can get produced to
ports more quickly, so that we can increase our revenues
(36:47):
and our exports. That means more jobs for w A.
And I think a lot of people were surprised in
the budget to see the Prime Minister take out over
two hundred million dollars worth of road funding for w A.
So we restore six hundred million dollars, which I think
will be of benefit to the WA economy. It will
allow people to expand their businesses and to make for
(37:09):
a more efficient process, and also to deal with some
of the flood proofing and try and provide support to
regional West Australians who you know, I think are often
forgotten about.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
Every time I look at the TV this morning, I
said Donald Trump and tariffs. He's oh, he's on both
stations and he is global tariffs. What are your thoughts
about Trump slapping Australia with a ten percent tariff?
Speaker 10 (37:31):
Well, it's not good for our country and we've got
to be able to stand up for our interests and
really argue our corner as effectively as we can. And
I think part of the problem at the moment that
the Prime Minister's got is that he can't even get
a phone call, let alone a meeting with the President.
And I think when you have a look at what
the President's got on the table today, it's bad for Australia,
no doubt. But there is a deal to be done
(37:52):
there and I think that's clear in the language, and
I think there can be a deal done by the government.
If the Prime Minister could get a phone call, he
could speak to the President. I believe in part this
election is about the strength of leadership and who is
best able to negotiate these outcomes, who is best able
to keep us safe in a very uncertain world, who's
best able to manage the economy. And that's why really
(38:17):
very keen to have that discussion with people in WA
and Victoria, in South Australia, right across the country because
I think it is a very significant election for our
country and for our future, and that's why i'd really
encourage people to support their Liberal or National candidate.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
So you think you preferring if you're in the Prime
Minister's chair right now, you're preferring to speak directly to
the White House and maybe not having dinner with Greg Norman.
Speaker 10 (38:41):
Well, I just think there is a deal to be
done here and that much is obvious. And when we're
in government, we negotiated with the US and the UK.
That was then with President Biden to get the orcst
deal of nuclear submarine deal, and we have been able
to deal with Trump in his first iteration and in
the first presidency, we're able to get an exempt from
tariff's by negotiating and by deploying Greg Norman and everybody else.
(39:04):
But you also need to have the one to one
conversations and America needs to know that we've got a
strong leader and we have a determination to do what
is in our country's best interest. He's the President of
the United States. He's going to do what is in
his best interests. But our job and my job as
Prime Minister would be to stand up and to get
the best possible outcome for our farmers, for our industry,
(39:28):
and to make sure that we can talk about the
equities and the important parts that we're contributing to the
relationship as well. I think critical minerals is a big
part of the deal that we could do with the US.
But it just seems that the government hasn't been able
to have that discussion or that negotiation, and I hope
that they can do something quickly because I think there
is a deal to be done quickly with the administration
(39:49):
as well.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
So rumor has it that Anthony Albanezi will launch Labour's
election campaign here in Wa on April thirteen.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
Where are you going to launch yours?
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Do you know we have announced? We haven't announced yet.
You're trying to get an exclusive? Oh yes, scoop sure.
Speaker 10 (40:07):
So we haven't announced it, but there's no question that.
And as I've said on your program before and when
I've been in Wa multiple times over the last few years,
the election I think will come down to the results
here in Western Australia. And when you look at what
the government's done to mining and the roadblocks that they've
put in the way of new projects being approved, I
(40:29):
think there is a big decision for Western Australians to
make and I think we can be successful here in Wa. Obviously,
there's just been a state election where there were big
swings against labor, but ultimately people supported the premiere. But
at this election, it's about who do you trust and
who do you think is better to lead our country
in an uncertain time and to manage the economy effectively.
In relation to Northwest Shelf, which employs three thousand residents
(40:52):
here in Wa, we have made an announcement that we
will approve that particular development within thirty days. It's been
with the state government for six years. They've given it
a tick off, they've done all the environmental checks and
it's ready to go. It was due to be decided
on by Tanya Plubersecond Anthony Albanezi. And conveniently they've put
(41:13):
the decision off until the thirty first of May, until
after the election. If it was going to be a
good decision for WA, why not announce it before the election.
So if they're going to stop that mind from proceed
or that project from proceeding, and if they're going to
stop other projects from proceeding because they want to please
the Greens in Sydney and Melbourne, that is a disaster
for WA. And given the entrepreneurialism and you know, the
(41:36):
hard work ethic and the abundance of natural resource here
that drives this economy. If WA is not doing well,
then the Australian economy is grinding to a halt as well.
So that's why I think WA is critically important in
the rut to the election.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
I'm sure you don't want to get ahead of yourself, Peter,
but what would it mean to you personally to become
the thirty second Prime minister of this greape.
Speaker 10 (41:59):
It would mean the combination of a lifetime of work
to keep people safe. I've had ten years as a
police officer, I've been in government. I invested eighty million
dollars into the thisustrained centerate account of child exploitation.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
I deported people who.
Speaker 10 (42:12):
Had committed sexual offenses and crimes against women. And we've
got a really united team. We've got a strong team,
and I think we've demonstrated a capacity to make the
decisions that are in our country's best interests. As Defense
Minister and as Home Affairs Minister, as Health minister, I
did all of that. I was up in Pierce with
Yar Norberger last night. We made an announcement about our
commitment to a hospital in Yanchip because we know that
(42:35):
at jounal Arp at the health campus there, just in
the last year there have been eight hundred hours of
ramping and in a high growth area like the city Wannery,
we need to make sure that we invest into those services.
Bog billing rates down by twenty percent in the electorate
of Peers under this government, so I want to make
sure that we can have a stronger health system. I
do want to make sure that we can invest into
(42:58):
the projects and give insurances and confidence to the companies
to invest here, because when you know the project that
you're working on at the moment comes to an end,
you need to make sure that there's something else coming
down the pipeline, and this government's more interested in investing
in you know, the Green votes in Sydney and Victoria.
As I say, but I want to make sure that
(43:18):
our country can grow, that we can help people who
are in need of help, which was the reason for
our homelessness package that we announced. And you know, there's
a lot more that we can do in the economy
to help young people achieve the dream of home ownership.
This is one of you know, the absolute priorities we
have to have as a country and to restore that
dream of home ownership is absolutely essential to what I
(43:41):
believe is the best way that we can support young
people start a family, secure their financial future. But at
the moment, many of them have lost hope. The governments
brought in about a million people over the last two
years and that's really crunched the demand for housing, which
is what's made it really difficult for people to find
a home.
Speaker 4 (43:58):
That does touch on a question I was going to
ask about being conscious of appealing two younger generations. Sometimes
it's a struggle to engage younger voters in the Liberal Party.
Are you conscious of that? Is that something as well
as the housing situation very much so, very big on
climate change.
Speaker 10 (44:19):
Their social justice and that's where the base of the
support for the Greens movement is as well. But I
think a lot of people, and both the Prime Minister
and I have pointed this out, but a lot of
people have realized that the Greens are about anything but
the environment. They're a radical movement now and I think
it's worth having a look at their website. They want
to defund the Australian Defense Force, they want to criminalize
(44:39):
hardcore drugs. THEIRS is not a policy driven party that's
in our best interest as a country. And as most
well as every political commentator, I can't think of one
in the country predicting that the Prime Minister can form
a majority government. But Anthony Albanezi can only be elected
after this election the support of the Greens in government,
(45:01):
and I think that would be a disaster for w
A because the carbon trigger would be back in the
environmental protection laws that the government's talking about putting in place,
but which is sort of, you know, a strange way
of calling a bill which is actually about stopping mining
or making it more hard, making it harder for more
minds to be developed. And so I think they have
(45:22):
quite a radical agenda, and I just say to young people,
have a look at, you know, the choices here, because
we do want to have an economy where you can
find a job. We do want to have social justice
and make sure that we can take care of people.
We do want to reduce crime and make our community
safer and also make the decisions that we need to
make to make our country secure in a very uncertain period.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Well, we're going to see you back, because we'll be back.
So thank you. Thanks for having us a.
Speaker 5 (45:51):

The tributes have flowed for val Kilma.

Buskers have been labeled as psychological torture.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
And we took your calls on what malfunctioned.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Malfunction, malfunction, malfunction.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Great per flick with Beno Sha Ben Ben, Hey, you
got me confused with Peter Dutton.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You came at me very hard there.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Least it's about video games as movies.
Speaker 6 (00:47):
Yeah, yeah, Look, I can imagine that when I was
coming in today that the idea of a movie based
on the Minecraft computer game is not really.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I did have a thing, a bit of a giggle, Elli,
but I do love both Jack Black and Jason.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
Jason what a man, right, and they don't have Box Squad.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
It's one of those films.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
It's a combination of live action and a lot of
CG stuff. Okay, so the biggest surprise for me of
this movie called a Minecraft movie pretty good.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
It's actually pretty good.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
I was going I was going in there last night
thinking the chances of this being actually entertaining is so
slim because I haven't played Minecraft. My daughter plays Minecraft.
It seems fun, like creative, put the blocks and build
them up and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
That's what I just wonder if it's one of those
ones where you build stuff.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Yeah, you build stuff, and it's kind of world building
kind of game. There's different modes, you can make it
a bit different. But but yeah, so basically that's what
the film is about creativity. The game is about creativity.
But I'm not emotionally invested in the game.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
You know.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Sometimes you get these adaptations and there's so many fans
of the game, and then they just like stick it
to the movie. I didn't honor the storylines or the characters,
or it's like, come on, it's a computer.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Tell me it. Ignore the little nuances.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
That's right, it's not Shakespeare.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Shakespeare here.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Yes, So I went in there with low expectations and
I saw it at Event Event cinemas in in lou
in their four D cinema.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I heard about it.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
It's like it's like, you know, like Disneyland, some of
those rides that you have a Disneyland, the four D cinema.
So you're sitting in this kind of seat and rocks
and moves, tilts forwards and tilts back, and it shakes
you around like your popcorns go on everywhere. But it's
not only it's not only that. As well as that,
you've got wind that blows into your face. You've got
(02:40):
little somehow it squirts water its water. So there's one
there's one moment in the film where there's like a
minecraft lama that spits and it's like there's a little
bit of water that slashes on your face. It is
quite unsettling. And little little jets in that in the
chair when they well, basically everything but that and so
(03:02):
and then when the arrows are flying through the air,
like there's little whistles of wind that come past your
ear at.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
The first of its price.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Smell, craziest experience. I would recommend it for this movie
in particular. If you something else, go see The Remains
of the Day. I don't know if it worked that
well for that film, but did he see my Craft movie?
It's quite amazing. So anyway, the film itself is a
pretty basic plot. Jack Black starts off as this yeah yeah,
(03:33):
surprise surprise, starts off as this young boy dreams of
working as a minor, so it could be a story
about a kid in w A. But you know, he
forgets those dreams and starts this unfulfilling career as a
doorknob salesman, and then then he remembers then he remembers, hey,
I wanted to work in the mines. So he goes
into the mines where he discovers this magical cube that
(03:56):
opens a portal, and then he ends up in the
Minecraft course, which is all CGI block animals and things
like that, and then he kind of discovers that there's
this evil sorceress who wants to take over the Minecraft
world and steal its riches, and so he ends up
teaming up with some other humans that get sucked into
the portal and they have to kind of go on
(04:18):
this sort of quest to save the Minecraft world, and
which is how Jason Momoa comes into it. He was
a former child gamer prodigy called Garrett the garbage man Garrison,
who's grown up to be a complete failure as an adult.
He sort of lives in this kind of like you know,
sort of glorious memories of his past, his glory days.
(04:40):
He's into his eighties, hair metal, drives a like Corvette
Stingray or something like that, wears like leather jackets with
fringes dangling down, and it just hilarious character for Jason
Momoa to play. Sort of thinks he's a big hero
like he is in all the hero movies that he
stars in.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
He's a total dud.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
He's a total dud though, right, And because.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
The film is directed by Jared hess who's most notable
for directing Napoleon Dynamite, so he very much brings that
sort of comedic aesthetic to the film. So you imagine
Jason Momoa as Napoleon Dynamite, So that's kind of.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
What his character is like. Gotcha.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
And then you've got a couple of kids, of course,
because it's a kid's movie, so you need some kid characters,
and they're sort of roped in as well. One of
them is the star one of the stars of the
Wednesday series with General Taker and so it's basically a
quest movie. But the reason it works so well Jason
Momoa is so hilarious as you're sort of playing against
type as like a guy who thinks he's a hero
(05:37):
but as a total does. And of course Jack Black, right,
So this movie would look terrible if it had anybody
other than Jack Black, because he is so unique in
his way to be over the top and so ridiculous
yet somehow also still very cool. Yeah, very funny. So
think about him in School of Rock, think about him
(05:58):
in Jumanji, of of that movie. He is, he's just hilarious.
And he's singing a couple of songs in the film as.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Well, Here's the greatest here, that's right.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
That's right, and and it's got to it's got a
Star of Oranges and New Black in there as well.
Uh and and she at one point says, oh, you know, like,
if I knew you could sing that good, if I
knew you had the voice of an angel, I wouldn't
have been so bothered by your smell.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
And there's there's a there's a moment where Jack Black
and Jason Momoa's character who don't get on there sort
of they're sort of frenemies. I guess where they have
to sort of there in this flying contraption and they
have to squeeze through this this tiny hole in the wall,
so they realize they have to go sort of top
and tail and form a man sandwich. That's so, that's
(06:43):
the sort of humor that we're talking about here. It's
a little puerile, but I think the kiddies will like it.
It's very bright, it's very colorful. There's some great songs
in the soundtrack. And you know, I guess if you
if you go into this thinking that it's going to
be high brow cinema, you're gonna come out thinking what the.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Hell did I just watch?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Who's going to go thinking it's going to be again again?
This is a minecraft movie and it doesn't pretend to
be anything else. And that's what I respect about it.
It is very, very silly. But if you liked the
Jumanji films, you know this is definitely going to be
up your alley. And for the kiddies, you know, like
they're gonna they're.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Gonna love it.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
And does it have Jennifer Coolidge?
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Oh, I almost Jennifer Coolidge has a cameo in this
as the vice principal of a school in the real world.
And so it goes without saying that Jennifer Coolidge is
the queen. She is hilarious playing herself. She has this
like she has this principal student meeting with the main
human boy in the film and just starts talking about
(07:45):
her own relationship breakdown instead of talking about what she's
supposed to be disciplining him, about how she separated from
her husband. And then and then one of the Minecraft villagers,
which are these kind of like NPC characters in the
game that just sort of wander about aimlessly and they're going, oh,
they don't really do anything.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Get away.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
One of those comes through the portal into the real world,
and Jennifer Coolidge, who's just off this divorce, bumps into
this kind of non speaking Minecraft character. It takes him
out for dinner because he can't kind of fight it,
and it's just and that's just hilarious and and and
the waitress comes up and goes, oh, are you finished,
and she goes, no, I think he's Swedish. And so
(08:30):
that's that gives you an idea of what this plenty
in there for the adults. If you like a bit
of silliness, Lisa to say.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Man, where John, Well it's out today? How many Stiffler's
mums giving?
Speaker 6 (08:42):
I'm going to give it three and a half.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Where do you stand on buskers clery?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
You kind of live in the heart of busking zone
down in Frio.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I don't get a lot of them at the dog
Swamps shop really, but you pass a few every day.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You still get quite a few when you go heart Free,
especially down South Terrace are. There are a few there,
and some are very good. Some I don't like it.
One of them my blues fans. I hate it when
they butcher a Stevie Rover von song.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Well, it's interesting you should say that because in London
buskers playing loud songs over and over have been compared
to psychological torture by a judge who has ordered Westminster
Council to stop the racket. In fact, it was Global
Radio who took the Council to court over the noise,
which it's said is forcing some staff to work in cupboards.
(09:31):
The judge says they're being subjected to industrially amplified daily
concerts outside their windows, and that while the volume is
the principal mischief. It is clear that the nuisance is
exacerbated by the repetition and poor quality out Hey, guys,
not only are you allowed your crap, I mean the
judge observed in the hearing that the use of repetitive
(09:53):
sounds is and I quote a well publicized feature of
unlawful but effective psychological torture.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Technical you keep saying, don't yet know it. They play
this and.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Over four about seven days at Waco. After the rulings,
a guy who owned a restaurant in nearby Saint Martin's
Court said, when you're forced to listen to these guys
day after day, the same track over and over, at
the level they play, it's affecting our lives.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
He said. He tried double glazing, but no go.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
He said he asked one busker to turn the music down,
and that he doesn't think he can mention what the
busker asked him to do didn't go down well.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Apparently.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Another witness said the vocals are worse than the instruments,
and even worse when they're out of tune, and so yes,
so the judge has has agreed with them and has
ordered Westminster Council to do something about it. But the
council doesn't seem to be backing down. It says it
will continue seeking a balance between minimizing nuisance to our
residents and businesses whilst ensuring performers can continue to add
(10:58):
to the vibrant heritage of street entertainment.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Does sound like that Jacon much on board?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Oh, it doesn't really judge.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's so loud and driving people crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
They're climbing in the cupboards to do their work.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
That's a bit much.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I'll lead to more people wanting to work from home, exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
The Sure Report on ninety six AIRFM.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Well, half of Hollywood has been paying tribute to actor
Val Kilma, who died yesterday at just sixty five. Actor
and friend Josh Brolin wrote, you were a smart, challenging, brave, uber,
creative firecracker. Matthew Modean tweeted rest in peace, Vell Kilmer.
If it wasn't for our chance encounter in nineteen eighty five,
I mean never have been cast in full metal jacket.
(11:42):
Actress Jennifer Tilly, She's very funny, recalled a long time ago,
I was auditioning for the movie The Doors. It was
kind of a cattle call. They were running behind so
we were spilling out of the casting office, sitting on
the porch, the lawn and the driveway. All of a sudden,
the sixties convertible came screeching up, blaring doors music at
top volume, and a guy jumped out and strode inside.
(12:04):
He had wild hair, and he was barefoot, shirtless, and
wearing nothing but a pair of tight leather pants.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
We all looked at each other, like, who is this guy?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Well, of course it was Val Kilma, and from that
minute on, nobody else stood a chance. And the official
Top Gun franchise account shared remembering Val Kilma, whose indelible
cinematic mark span genres and generations rest in peace. Iceman,
as you know, I've never seen Top Gun, but I
take everyone's word for it that he was wonderful in
that movie. For mine, his shining moment was one hundred
(12:35):
percent Jim Morrison in The Doors. He seemed to embody
absolutely everything we could imagine about the Lizard King.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Oh, come on, just a word gym Stone's change when
they played here.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, why don't you change your name to uh Sydney
or Irving Man's Eric. It's just worde nah good door.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
You know that it would be on True Here We Go.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
If I was to see.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
We Couldn't Get Hot High.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
It is.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Best to see the movie, isn't it regular That fantastic
ed Sullivan's situation where they tried to get him to say, girl,
we couldn't get much groovy.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I don't say groovy.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Don't say Hi thinks of drugs right now. He had
an amazing body of work. He was Batman, of course,
in nineteen ninety five's Batman Forever. He shared the screen
with Marlon Brando in the Island of Doctor Moreau, with
Dennis Hopper in True Romance.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
With Paccino and de Niro in Heat You Didn't Know
Where to Look.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
There was that one scene where they're all together, and
with Robert Downey Jr. In two thousand and five's Black
comedy Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Idiots in the dictionary, You're not your a picture of me, No,
the definition of the word idiot, which you are.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I've Ow died of complications from pneumonia after a long
battle with throat cancer. Rest in peace, voll Kilma. In
other news this morning, Brad Peter's reportedly returning as Cliff Booth,
the laid back stunt man he played and won an
Oscar for in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He
and directed David Fincher, who worked with Brad on films
like Fight Club and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,
(14:27):
putting together a spinoff which has a script by Once
Upon a Time in Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino, and they
hope to start shooting in the.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Middle of the year.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Now, there's one thing you need to know about this story.
It came out on April Fool's Day.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Now that doesn't mean it's not true.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
We don't have the definitive answer yet, but it's such.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
A great story with.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Such big names that I feel I need to temper
my excitement just a little bit in case.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
I hope it's true.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but just.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
In case because it did come out on April Fool's Day,
and you talk and pit finsher Tarence. Yeah, we shall see.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
We'll just keep her fingers crossed.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I love the story. We shall see.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
He's any funny you said that because Radio Made of
Ours got announced on Facebook that he got married on
them on the weekend. But it came out on April
Fool's Day, and.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I surely not.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
No, he wouldn't do that, but it does make you
think when that date pops up, it's more crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Weaser more podcasts.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Got a little bit of a problem this side of
the desk. What I've bitten my tongue, like really really
badly in the middle, and it's bleeding a bit and
all that kind of stuff, and people are so tough
and up then, but yeah, probably should.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
I can't remember the last time I bit my tongue,
but I bite the side of my inside of my
mouth all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I hate that. Do you want
have a look because you can be my doctor?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Right?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Do that thing nearly hit the desk.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Talking about my tongue like that? Do I need to splint?
We get a tongue splinter or a cast?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Is it looking at it the second time? Why not?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
All right?
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Isolate the spot. I don't want to see the whole.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Okay, I've got I've got it, my freak.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
I've got a long, very very long time.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, and I've bitten right almost right through the bloody
all the way through. Do you think I need stitches?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
I don't think so. It's not bleeding.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It was it was bleeding early. Yeah, And if I
touch it enough and all mail make it bleed again.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Put a nice block on it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Okay, great idea, Thanks Doc.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
You're welcome.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
The Greyhounds for Pets w A adoption day is on
this weekend this Saturday in Southern River. For all the information,
head to Greyhounds as Pets dot com dot au. The
ambassador for Greyhounds for Pets W Ways, I'm very good friend,
Damien Martin.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
We have would saved you for ages.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
It has been a long, long time week. We work
together on a weekly basis. I want to go back
to two thousand and nine through about twenty eleven twelve,
so it is we were babies. We were babies, and
now I'm old, gray hair but lucky enough to be
working with greyhounds as pets while you to continue dominating the.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Did you get involved in this?
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Well, I've been fortunate enough to go into my second
year as an ambassador for it and as an out
of the blue phone call from a person who used
to work at the Wildcats, and you know, we're just
reconnecting us what he's up to these days. And he
back then about twelve months ago, was working with Greyhounds
as pets and then Mara, who's in the studio with
us today. We actually met at a dog park in
about two thousand and twelve, and I was like, it's
(17:41):
only fitting that she has stayed involved and dogs have
reconnected us. So it's been a wonderful twelve months and
I've learned so much about them as pets.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
But I can't help myself.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Every time I either foster a greyhound or read a
new ground, I go straight to their racing record and
see what they did when they were active athletes. But
like any athlete, they retire and become super lazy. So
I really connect well with the greyhounds because that's my
life these days.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Do you break the rules mate, when you're a fosters.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
I was sharing some stories that I do enjoy fostering them,
but you're probably supposed to give them some discipline. So
when they gave to their forever home, yep, they're a
bit further trained. But no, I've got three daughters who
absolutely adore it when I bring over a greyhound and
all of a sudden they're coming inside.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
We're taking them.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
For multiple walks a day, all the things we get
occasionally on the couch, so all the things we're not
supposed to do. I then have to apologize profusely to
greyhounds as pets and say, I'm probably sending our beautiful
greyhound back less trained than when we receiving exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
So hard is it to foster a dog and then
give it back again? I reckon I'd be scared. I'd
end up with twenty eight dollars and I can.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Imagine another one.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
That is the tough part of it, because we've done
it a couple of times, and you know, like as mentioned,
I've got three daughters.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Maggie's eight, Bonnie.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Six copies to and runs the house and she shows
her love through brutal affection. So she's very hands on
with the greyhound.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Brutal affection for brutal.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
But after about four weeks we do sit down with
the girls. They know up front that the puppy is
not staying with us. We had Turtle twelve months ago
and ran like a turtle, didn't have many wins when
it was a racing greyhound.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Then we had Treble.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
Then we had Treble whose racing name, whose racing name
was played the music a bit more successful, But we
let the girls know we've only got these dogs for
four weeks, Let's have a lot of fun, showed lots
of love, because beyond four weeks you do start to
have that strong connection.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
It's not fair for the greyhounds either. Hindsight.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
It's good fun binding thing, isn't it. And this is
not just one day. There is the adoption day. This
is a month. This is a feral stretch, is.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
An adoption month.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Yeah, typically I think it costs around two hundred dollars
to adopt a greyhound. Instead for the full month of April,
it's going to be seventy five dollars and this weekend
if you filled out an application, because they do want
to make sure the greyhound is right fit for the
family and vice versa. So I've got three kids, not
much of a backyard, and so they make sure that
we've got a dog that'll accommodate.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
It's like that match our environment, you know.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Well, I like to joke that Mara is the equivalent
of maps whoever they specialists are.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
But she does a better job. She does a better job.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Better job.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Sorry, it was just.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Patty Reds actually last.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Yeah, that's right. So it is amazing, whether it's fostering
or adopting. The one thing I love, you know, bruising
out there when it comes to my role as an
ambassador is just how many misconceptions there are about greyhounds.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Yeah, I one this morning. I thought they were didn't
need any exercise dogs. I thought they'd just like to
sit and lightly because I've.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Done it all when they're running.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Yeah, but you do have to take them for a
couple of walks a day.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
No, probably only one. You broke the rule.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
That's why I was breaking theor was well that you
want to go for the second or third because they
are so lazy.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
It's just that the kids were so excited. We'd wake
up and go for.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
A quick walk get home from school. Can we go
for a quick walk? But yeah, about thirty minutes in
the morning, and they will probably just lounge around for
the next twenty three and a half hours of the day.
That's why they despite their size, their good apartment dogs.
You don't need a farm, you don't need a Yeah,
they're good companion dogs because of how lazy.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
They are, clean and everything too. They're so sort of streamlined.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Yeah, they do have that shine on their coat I'm
envious of. But the other thing that I love. I
just feel like I'm bragging. But is their vertebrate is
their spine, So if you haven't look up closed, you
can see it protruding a little bit because it's only
them and cheaters. Don't fact check this in case I'm wrong.
Honds and cheaters that have the ability to have all
(21:32):
four legs off the ground at the same time because
of how they run and they're bending their vertebrae allowed it.
I believe their spine. I think I think I'm getting
this right.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Hence the speed the fastest fast I'm going with it.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
You're probably gonna have a listener text really short ago
that's not right at all.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Which not as simple as just showing up this weekend.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Either.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
You've got to get get onto the greyhoundspets dot com
dot au and all the information about what you have
to do so that they can hook you up with
the right dog.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Is there spot on down in Southern River. They'll have
about forty greyhounds that you can come down meet and greet.
But the reason once you feel out that application in
advance is just so they can start to try and
fit the right potential adoptee or foster with the right Greyhound,
and then also make sure it's not too overwhelming for
the Greyhounds as well, because we don't want four hundred,
five hundred and six hundred people showing up just for
a snoop. We want people who are genuine about taking
(22:22):
care of these incredible.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Wish I'm giving it to you, man, but we can't
let you go without I have to ask the question,
Josh Kitty astraining basketball style in the NBA half court.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You would Stoppedhi, would you? Lebron couldn't do it, but
you would have stopped him as a defensive champ.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
That the beautiful thing about being retired is the longer retired,
the better you were.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
So yeah, let's go with that.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Let's go with that.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
But Lebron's su mistakes you would never have made in
your career. Mate.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
First, he gets the steal off Lebron that he hits
the half court shot to win the game. They're down
five with fourteen seconds ago. You should not lose from there.
But Josh Giddy, the season is put together after getting draft.
Did you know I read somewhere recently that between he
and Dyce and Daniels they both stand to make about
three hundred and forty million dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Each US across five years. Is that all? So?
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Yeah, No, it's a wonderful time for Australians out there
in the basketball community.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
It was a great bit of commentary too, guy wrot
out every australianism.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Pie, we'll take what we can get, We'll take what
we can get. When I lived in America for four
years and whenever we go to a party hosted by
our friend's family, they'd be like, hey, we brought you
some fosters. I'm like, oh, should drinking in Australia be nice?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
To see what it takes.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Life post basketball obviously trading.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
You well, yeah, I can't complain at all. It's coming
up on five years since I retired. I was it
has it really has? So I got the three daughters
up quickly.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
And Maggie. So Maggie is the only one that's old
enough to remember her as a basketball player, and the
first five years of her life she used to introduce
herself as Maggie Martin from the Perth Wildcat. And that's
to say, Darling, that's not your actual name.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
But she loved it.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Get on that.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Oh yeah, yeah, she still looks at photos of those days.
But she's on the same team as Jesse Wagstaff's daughter.
And then they're on the same team as Maddie Prutti's daughter.
And it's funny because Jesse current captain of the Wildcats,
I spent some time with the Wildcats. We'll sit on
the baseline every Saturday at our daughter's games. Well, Maddie
Pruddi is the former Eagles player. Coaches so and now
(24:33):
I'm proud to brag that they went two full seasons
of being undefeated, and Maddie hosts us at his house
over the weekend as a thank you and to wind
up to what's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So super coach, Maddie Prudis and Jesse weak Stuff season
seventeen coming. I think it's that it's brilliant.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
I don't mind admitting about four years ago, I actually
bought him a retirement president mid season, thinking okay, this
is the coaches.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Well end up drinking it myself because I realize is
too good not to go around.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
Yeah, no, it wasn't the leftovers I brought home from America.
But now I'm so wrapped he is going around again.
And to be honest, I think this would have been
his easiest yes when deciding whether to play on or
to retire than in probably the previous two or three years.
Is just offering so much to his teammates in the league.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Still he's a good man.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Well.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Greyhounds for Pets wa Doption day is nine am to
twelve pm this Saturday. All the details are at Greyhoundsspets
dot com dot are you great to see you?
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Good to see you both. Next time I come in
I'll bring two greyhounds.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
On at least.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
So if you saw this story about the really concerned
commuters and the Sydney Metro people. We speak about the
New South Wales Transport Union who were very well what
they described as one of the worst rail safety incidents
in a decade. What happened maybe a little loverly dramatic,
but it's still dangerous. So commuted commuters on the Sydney
train the Sydney Metro got footage and photos of a
(25:59):
train door sitting wide open as the carriage barreled towards
its next stop. So it's gone between. At eight o'clock
in the morning, between Chatswood and Crow's Nest in Sydney,
the door opened for the entire run of traffic, you know,
all the way through that train line, and two people
believed to be trained staffers were dressed in black standing
in front of the door, blocking commuters going through it.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
You know what, well, I don't think they're going to
go through it while it's moving.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I think they're worried about people.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
For there there is one idiot in every bunch that
wouldn't go down well on some of those Indian trains.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
You see on Oh my God on Tokyo.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Frammed them in.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Like yes, that holds them in.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah. So they said a.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
One the door fault was identified on the train traveling
between those two stations that's Chatswood and Crow's Nest. If
you know Sydney, you'll know how busy those lines are.
And they said the fault was now, well, they've reported
it and it's been put under investigation. They basically said
this train should never have left, but they did have
the staff members there just in case they had to
play catch. And I was thinking, I mean, like we said,
(26:58):
very very dramatic, nothing went awrye, which is good, But
we were asking today what malfunctioned. I have told you
that I got a car and then the old man
had a car right, and it was it was not
just any car, it was a Statesman. It was beautiful,
steady and he said, look, I'm not driving his carny,
or do you want to buy it off me? So
I bought it off offer him. He's in Queensland, so
he shipped it over. It was a big v.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
I wouldn't want to park that big beauty.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It was a legend. But the problem with the Statesman
people who know that the eights. You could see the
petrol gage go down every time he came for a drive.
Literally unfortunately it's poor stadie. I don't know why. For
some reason it was it had severe electrical faults. So
I'd be driving, I'd be driving. One night that was
I was on Reid Highway. I'm driving like it started
raining and the sunroof just started opening and closing by itself.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
It was like this car was like possessed. The statement, Yeah,
what do you reckon? I reckon? And I said to
him did you have any problems with do you have
any problems with his car?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
And he goes no, I just played innocent much so
I still paid for it. But so that happened, and
then every bit of instrumentation on the dash would start
flashing all at once.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I'm going, we've got some serious issues with this car.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Craig and Greenmount what malfunction?
Speaker 8 (28:12):
Yeah, Well, I was in the late seventies driving down
the Wanneroo Road with my then girlfriend down my wife,
yes for many, many years, and Wanneroo Road in my
XR Falcon And if you know the x are it was.
It was a car carved out of a piece of meat.
It was just absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
And anyway, driving.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
Down the road changing gears, three on the tree, gearstick
came out in my head.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Oh no, I've got a bet on.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
So I turned the car off, rolled over to the
side of the road, went to the boot, pulled out
a great big screw drive for the biggest one I
could find, and a hammer walked back into the car,
slammed it into the slammed it into the hole where
the stock was and I drove around like that for
the next four years.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
Oh my god, is that Wow?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Is that the moment where she thought you're my forever?
Look at you with your hammery? Yeah, and you may
diver work.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Craig was a bloke that would walk into her forest
with a with a Swiss army.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, you're the guy, Craig Iver, You're
you're the go to.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Craig. That's good.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
And did you hear the way that Craig spoke with
love about the car? Yes, right from the get go
to the middle.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Kristen and Darling Towns. What malfunctioned?
Speaker 9 (29:35):
Hey, guys atm machine malfunctions.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Don't tell me it was spitting out money?
Speaker 9 (29:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
I asked for one.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Hundred dollars and five hundred dollars popped out.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
What a dilemma.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
How long before you spent?
Speaker 9 (29:51):
And it said that I only took a hundred dollars out.
I was very honest and went into the bank and
they were very thankful.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
I mean, there's a it's going to catch that look
on your face that clearly says hello, walk away the car.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Already attention to myself because I'm in.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
On the one hand, you're thinking, well, this isn't my fault,
this is you idiots did this.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
But on the other hand, you're thinking, what if what
if they know? What if it's marked? What if it's
going to explode?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Kristen, when you got the last of it. You know
when you got the five hundred in your hand, was
there were there two or three seconds when you went,
maybe I could where are disguise?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Forever? There was to be honest, Yeah, it's five hundred bucks.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
I know it's just yes, thanks.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Chris Citizen Christian, Yeah, you just I.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Mean the thing that the thing that stops you is
the fear of you know, they're going.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
To know, of course, of course I think.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Most of us would if we could.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
It's like if you reach into a you know, a
bush on the side of the road, and you've pulled
out a suitcase with five five hundred thousand dollars in it,
You're going, is there a camera on money?
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And is this good money?
Speaker 5 (30:58):
And is it marked? Is yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Someone going to go, oh, you're better come with me
as soon as I try to use it.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
That's the kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
But you know, there is that whole possession being nine
tenths of the law thing where if something if you
hand it in, if it's not claimed in a certain
amount of time, it is yours. Because it did happen
with this money that was found when I lived in Melbourne,
there was I think it was three.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
It was found in a suitcase at the elston Wick
train station, and I believe that ultimately the people that
handed it in after many many months, got to keep it.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
That's a nice kit because of their honesty.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
That was clearly that money.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I was always worried about opening up the case or
the bag and spurting all the ink everywherevity movies, yes, exactly.
Malfunctions are plenty. We're talking about the day, Well it was.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
You were talking about a train in Sydney packed with
commuters within its door didn't close.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Sydney Metro busy, busy and they had a couple of
staff standing there and no one fell out of the train.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Well, Michelle, and Canning Vale also has a train storry.
Hello Michelle, Hello, what happened with your train?
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (32:03):
Well, I caught used to catch the train twice date
to school from seventy nine to eighty three, and our
trains were not the electronic type that you get now,
and we used to have to shut the doors when
we stopped and open them to get out.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Can you had the passengers had to yes?
Speaker 9 (32:27):
Another I was thirteen thirteen to seventeen, so we get
each one of us would get on one side because
you couldn't. Your arms wouldn't be long enough to close
both doors at the same time, so there'd be one
person on one side, one person on the other.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Is so childhood, it was a bit more rudimentary.
Speaker 9 (32:56):
Halt when you're hear them playing, you know, saying that
I didn't shut the electronic ones because I'm like.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
That's nothing. Yeah, yeah, you're doing it like for the workers.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
That's amazing. Yeah, thanks michell re memory, Thanks Michelle.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Were simpler times, I want to mean, you know, I
always laugh, well just not laugh its not funny. But
the kids these days, aren't They in booster chairs in
the back of the car until they're.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
About seventy twenty eight And we used to stand.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Up, jumping up and down, hanging on to the back
of the.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Of course if it's an accident. Were you fly through
the winter, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
But still most of us didn't.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
But they're in there very seas when they're you.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Know, they're they're starting to get a.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Mustache five a side, very different times at.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
More pay more podcasts soon. Well, we are exactly one
month today out from the election because it is May
the third, and the leader of the federal Liberal Party
Peter Dutton's town and has popped in Hello.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Less of Morning Morning, thanking me.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Well, big old general question.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
What are the Liberal Party's key objectives to secure the
win on May the third?
Speaker 10 (34:12):
Well, we've got a lot to talk about, and I
think there's you know, probably most people are tuned out.
Maybe they'll start to tune in a little bit closer
to the date. People are busy running kids around and
work and all the rest of it. So understand that
most people aren't that interested. But I think it's a
huge election for our country and we have standing in
the world which is at thread at the moment with
(34:33):
the tariffs and with the circumnavigating of our country with
the boat. But the economy I don't think has been
well managed out of Canberra either. The Prime Minister is
promising a seventy cent a day tax cut in fifteen
months time. We're promising a twenty five cent per liter
reduction in the price of diesel and.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Petrol and we'll start it straight away.
Speaker 10 (34:52):
So we've got to provide some support to families right
now who are really you know, a lot of who
are struggling. We've put more money into homeless and those
services so that we can provide support to what really
is a working poor. At the moment, people are working
harder than ever before but just can't get ahead. So
I think there are a lot of issues. I think
crime is a huge issue across the country as well,
and we as a federal government, I think can be
(35:15):
doing a lot more. And as a former policeman, I'm
very very much focused on that because I think crime
and the ability to live in your own home peacefully
and without the threat of your car being stolen or
being breaken into, et cetera, I think is absolutely sacrosanct.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
To me. It seems like it's the way crime is
dealt with that is a big problem. I mean, the
police do their job and then it gets to the court.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
Fail.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
And I've said this before.
Speaker 10 (35:43):
I worked in the sex offender squad as a detective
there and one of the reasons I came into Parliament
was that just this incredible frustration where you would deal
with somebody who had been raped or been.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
A sexual assault for the police after.
Speaker 10 (35:56):
All of that investigation and it'll be a couple of
years center or whatever, and it's just it's unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
It doesn't reflect.
Speaker 10 (36:03):
Community values and At the same time, you've got outlaw
motorcycle gangs who are you know, they're the ones buying
the stolen cars, and they're the ones supplying the kids
with drugs, who are breaking into homes to feed their
drug habit And so that's why I think there's a
lot that we can do at a federal level, and
I'm really focused on that Pedro. It's easy to throw
around big numbers and multi millions of dollars, but when
(36:25):
it comes to the mining industry, for farmers and for
roads here in the West, for people in the West,
what can we look forward to if you get well.
We're going to make an announcement today over six hundred
million dollars of additional funding for road infrastructure, particularly around mining,
agriculture and farming, so that we can get produced to
ports more quickly, so that we can increase our revenues
(36:47):
and our exports. That means more jobs for w A.
And I think a lot of people were surprised in
the budget to see the Prime Minister take out over
two hundred million dollars worth of road funding for w A.
So we restore six hundred million dollars, which I think
will be of benefit to the WA economy. It will
allow people to expand their businesses and to make for
(37:09):
a more efficient process, and also to deal with some
of the flood proofing and try and provide support to
regional West Australians who you know, I think are often
forgotten about.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
Every time I look at the TV this morning, I
said Donald Trump and tariffs. He's oh, he's on both
stations and he is global tariffs. What are your thoughts
about Trump slapping Australia with a ten percent tariff?
Speaker 10 (37:31):
Well, it's not good for our country and we've got
to be able to stand up for our interests and
really argue our corner as effectively as we can. And
I think part of the problem at the moment that
the Prime Minister's got is that he can't even get
a phone call, let alone a meeting with the President.
And I think when you have a look at what
the President's got on the table today, it's bad for Australia,
no doubt. But there is a deal to be done
(37:52):
there and I think that's clear in the language, and
I think there can be a deal done by the government.
If the Prime Minister could get a phone call, he
could speak to the President. I believe in part this
election is about the strength of leadership and who is
best able to negotiate these outcomes, who is best able
to keep us safe in a very uncertain world, who's
best able to manage the economy. And that's why really
(38:17):
very keen to have that discussion with people in WA
and Victoria, in South Australia, right across the country because
I think it is a very significant election for our
country and for our future, and that's why i'd really
encourage people to support their Liberal or National candidate.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
So you think you preferring if you're in the Prime
Minister's chair right now, you're preferring to speak directly to
the White House and maybe not having dinner with Greg Norman.
Speaker 10 (38:41):
Well, I just think there is a deal to be
done here and that much is obvious. And when we're
in government, we negotiated with the US and the UK.
That was then with President Biden to get the orcst
deal of nuclear submarine deal, and we have been able
to deal with Trump in his first iteration and in
the first presidency, we're able to get an exempt from
tariff's by negotiating and by deploying Greg Norman and everybody else.
(39:04):
But you also need to have the one to one
conversations and America needs to know that we've got a
strong leader and we have a determination to do what
is in our country's best interest. He's the President of
the United States. He's going to do what is in
his best interests. But our job and my job as
Prime Minister would be to stand up and to get
the best possible outcome for our farmers, for our industry,
(39:28):
and to make sure that we can talk about the
equities and the important parts that we're contributing to the
relationship as well. I think critical minerals is a big
part of the deal that we could do with the US.
But it just seems that the government hasn't been able
to have that discussion or that negotiation, and I hope
that they can do something quickly because I think there
is a deal to be done quickly with the administration
(39:49):
as well.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
So rumor has it that Anthony Albanezi will launch Labour's
election campaign here in Wa on April thirteen.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
Where are you going to launch yours?
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Do you know we have announced? We haven't announced yet.
You're trying to get an exclusive? Oh yes, scoop sure.
Speaker 10 (40:07):
So we haven't announced it, but there's no question that.
And as I've said on your program before and when
I've been in Wa multiple times over the last few years,
the election I think will come down to the results
here in Western Australia. And when you look at what
the government's done to mining and the roadblocks that they've
put in the way of new projects being approved, I
(40:29):
think there is a big decision for Western Australians to
make and I think we can be successful here in Wa. Obviously,
there's just been a state election where there were big
swings against labor, but ultimately people supported the premiere. But
at this election, it's about who do you trust and
who do you think is better to lead our country
in an uncertain time and to manage the economy effectively.
In relation to Northwest Shelf, which employs three thousand residents
(40:52):
here in Wa, we have made an announcement that we
will approve that particular development within thirty days. It's been
with the state government for six years. They've given it
a tick off, they've done all the environmental checks and
it's ready to go. It was due to be decided
on by Tanya Plubersecond Anthony Albanezi. And conveniently they've put
(41:13):
the decision off until the thirty first of May, until
after the election. If it was going to be a
good decision for WA, why not announce it before the election.
So if they're going to stop that mind from proceed
or that project from proceeding, and if they're going to
stop other projects from proceeding because they want to please
the Greens in Sydney and Melbourne, that is a disaster
for WA. And given the entrepreneurialism and you know, the
(41:36):
hard work ethic and the abundance of natural resource here
that drives this economy. If WA is not doing well,
then the Australian economy is grinding to a halt as well.
So that's why I think WA is critically important in
the rut to the election.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
I'm sure you don't want to get ahead of yourself, Peter,
but what would it mean to you personally to become
the thirty second Prime minister of this greape.
Speaker 10 (41:59):
It would mean the combination of a lifetime of work
to keep people safe. I've had ten years as a
police officer, I've been in government. I invested eighty million
dollars into the thisustrained centerate account of child exploitation.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
I deported people who.
Speaker 10 (42:12):
Had committed sexual offenses and crimes against women. And we've
got a really united team. We've got a strong team,
and I think we've demonstrated a capacity to make the
decisions that are in our country's best interests. As Defense
Minister and as Home Affairs Minister, as Health minister, I
did all of that. I was up in Pierce with
Yar Norberger last night. We made an announcement about our
commitment to a hospital in Yanchip because we know that
(42:35):
at jounal Arp at the health campus there, just in
the last year there have been eight hundred hours of
ramping and in a high growth area like the city Wannery,
we need to make sure that we invest into those services.
Bog billing rates down by twenty percent in the electorate
of Peers under this government, so I want to make
sure that we can have a stronger health system. I
do want to make sure that we can invest into
(42:58):
the projects and give insurances and confidence to the companies
to invest here, because when you know the project that
you're working on at the moment comes to an end,
you need to make sure that there's something else coming
down the pipeline, and this government's more interested in investing
in you know, the Green votes in Sydney and Victoria.
As I say, but I want to make sure that
(43:18):
our country can grow, that we can help people who
are in need of help, which was the reason for
our homelessness package that we announced. And you know, there's
a lot more that we can do in the economy
to help young people achieve the dream of home ownership.
This is one of you know, the absolute priorities we
have to have as a country and to restore that
dream of home ownership is absolutely essential to what I
(43:41):
believe is the best way that we can support young
people start a family, secure their financial future. But at
the moment, many of them have lost hope. The governments
brought in about a million people over the last two
years and that's really crunched the demand for housing, which
is what's made it really difficult for people to find
a home.
Speaker 4 (43:58):
That does touch on a question I was going to
ask about being conscious of appealing two younger generations. Sometimes
it's a struggle to engage younger voters in the Liberal Party.
Are you conscious of that? Is that something as well
as the housing situation very much so, very big on
climate change.
Speaker 10 (44:19):
Their social justice and that's where the base of the
support for the Greens movement is as well. But I
think a lot of people, and both the Prime Minister
and I have pointed this out, but a lot of
people have realized that the Greens are about anything but
the environment. They're a radical movement now and I think
it's worth having a look at their website. They want
to defund the Australian Defense Force, they want to criminalize
(44:39):
hardcore drugs. THEIRS is not a policy driven party that's
in our best interest as a country. And as most
well as every political commentator, I can't think of one
in the country predicting that the Prime Minister can form
a majority government. But Anthony Albanezi can only be elected
after this election the support of the Greens in government,
(45:01):
and I think that would be a disaster for w
A because the carbon trigger would be back in the
environmental protection laws that the government's talking about putting in place,
but which is sort of, you know, a strange way
of calling a bill which is actually about stopping mining
or making it more hard, making it harder for more
minds to be developed. And so I think they have
(45:22):
quite a radical agenda, and I just say to young people,
have a look at, you know, the choices here, because
we do want to have an economy where you can
find a job. We do want to have social justice
and make sure that we can take care of people.
We do want to reduce crime and make our community
safer and also make the decisions that we need to
make to make our country secure in a very uncertain period.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Well, we're going to see you back, because we'll be back.
So thank you. Thanks for having us a.
Speaker 5 (45:51):
Month to go pace yourself, stay fit.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Thank you, thank you, Take thank you, Cleazy and Lisa
