Hou Thanks and yes that.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Was my homework. Now I don't know anybody who speaks Spanish.
I know I'm still working on it, but I think
I got the phrasing right. What did you say, how's
your hip? Old lady?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
That's what I wrote down on Friday. That's what you
said to learn Now I could have said coma esther
to Kadara senora Senora, which would have been the more
polite way to address you.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
But yes, it would have been.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
But I'm just completing my homework as given to me
on Friday or n.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, very good, you've done some homework.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I didn't do any homework because I am still on
the bench because I did hurt myself. And you know
what Shakira says about you know, that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Don't move my hips.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
My hips do not lie. They do not do what
shakiras do.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
But yes, I'm just going to wait another day and
then tomorrow. I'm not going to go to the gym today.
Tomorrow I will go.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And gently walk it off. Now it's still twinging.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Hang on. Yeah, you could all do some putting practice.
That's not there's not a lot of hip in putting practice,
I guess.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
So what about carrying.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
The bag or you get a man to do that?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Wow, I'm busy. What I'm busy. I've got to I've
got to do my duelingo. Yeah, and I said that
that was the other part of my homework. I signed
up for it on Friday and I'm on a two
day street.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Have you seen the golf buggies that people they they're
just like on a remote and they're.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Moving on their own ahead of people.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I thought someone had let his golf buggies just go,
and I thought in the car park the other.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Thought, let's get a crash into my car like a
shopping trolley.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
But no, he was behind it with a remote and
it was just it was just gliding away in front
of him.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Taking him dog, taking his gear to wear.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
It needs busy. I think I'll be needing one of those,
that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Was he wearing Was he wearing checked pants?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
And no, because he'd spent all his money on his bugget, probably,
I'm expecting they're not cheap.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
There you go. So we're both learning something late in life. Yes,
you golf and me Espaniels Spanish, and so there we are.
So over the weekend, I did my homework and at
least is in recovery and I did my physio. That's right,
we'll justle with my arm. But we'll check in again.
(03:25):
We'll check in again tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Now as is our want on a Monday, you think
you're having a bad day, how about this?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Now, Susi, our producer has joinas because.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
She had a a habit.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
She had a bad day, one oh one last week,
tell us what happened morning?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
What happened last Tuesday?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Last Tuesday, after work, I'd been feeling a bit unwell
and went to the doctor and had a whole bunch
of tests done the week before, and I went on
Tuesday to get the results of my blood tests and
turns out I now have about three vitamin deficiencies, which
kind of explain everything going on, I think. So that
was some fun news. And to celebrate, I bought a
(04:04):
pill organizer like the eighty five year old. So I've
finished at the doctors and I've gone to meet someone
for coffee in Wembley and I got rear ended and
he didn't even offer to take me to dinner.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
First, glad you went there.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
And then yeah, to cap that off, I was dealing
with a leak in my roof and a ceiling in
my and oh god, once again.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Am I understanding this story?
Speaker 5 (04:37):
So you know, it's just one thing after another.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
And yeah, well at.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Least that's the three, the three three deficiencies and three incidents.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I'm not feeling so bad about how things are going,
that's for sure. Compared to you.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Wow, Okay, you're a winner today.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Actually, SUSI is not. She can't. She would have you
think you're having a bad.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
That's that's pretty hard to top. But I'm sure there's
someone out there with a even sadder story we want
to hear from you.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, it's Monday. We had a bad day.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Melon Woodridge's day started with leaving her coffee on the
bench near the kettle. Had to go through Maca's drive through,
only to discover I'd left my purse on the table
as well, so I couldn't even buy one. Just when
you pick a caget any worse, Melanie, I feel your pain.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Tragedy.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, okay, south Under Up, We're going to Carla.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
Hello, good morning, Hello Carla.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Good so or maybe not a good morning.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Think you're having a mad day? Can you top it?
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Well?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I just had to take my mum to the airport.
She's flying to Adelaide. We had to leave at four am.
So I've jumped out of bed, just throwing my Tracki's
on jump our jacket, you know, jumped in the car
half a slate, drop through at the airport. It was crazy.
Had to get fuel on the way back, filled up,
gone into the service station and I've screamed because I've
(06:03):
felt this thing going down my leg and I've shaked
my leg and my undies flew out the bottom of
my past across the service station. And this guy like
looked at me and there's my undies on the floor,
and I'm low. I'm mortified, absolutely mortified.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
So you pulled on the pads that you'd taken off
with the undeasy.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I know what you're saying. Hey, yes, happened to all
of us at some stage. Girl, I have heard people.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Say this story before, that there are needs to come
out of the legs.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
It's never happened.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, it is a thing.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Never happened to You've never taken your pats and your
undies off all at once and then put the pants
back on, not realizing there's these.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I was going to.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
See me, I was going to set man. I thought
I could have been worse. I thought it was a mouse.
I thought it was a mouse in my pat.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Yes, I mean, I feel sorry for you, but gee,
that's funny.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
It's just kind of like he was looking at me
and looking at the floor and looking at me, and
I was like, I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Where where they'll just get my Nickas.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Was it a g or a was it g string
or Granny Nickaska?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
That is hilarious than embarrassing. Can I get better from here?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (07:31):
All right, Carl, keep your pant, keep your pants on
and get a coffee. Gets in a well, get them
up off the floor. First I did.
Speaker 9 (07:42):
It was in my pocket.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
I was like doing the mongrel job looking out of
the server.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Well, Carla, thanks for making everybody else feel better this morning.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Who cares if you left your coffee?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yeah, exactly. Try leaving your knickers on the floor, Carla.
All right, there you go. Ah, I think Carl is
well out in the lead right now. Ah, all right?
Are you heading to the servo right now? So you
(08:20):
think you're having a bad day, Good luck beating Carla
servo nickers across the floor.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Flew out of the pants.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
It happens rather sometimes when you take your your year
off and you just take it all off in one go,
and then you might put the pants back on the
next morning, just to pop out to the shop and.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
On to the airport at four o'clock in the morning,
to the airport.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
As was Carla's situation, and you forget and there they
are in the leg we're all.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
To see poor bloke behind the counter didn't know where
to look. Ninety six twenty four past seven. Good morning.
It is Lisa and Russell losing my religion. Carlo lost
her Hondays in front of everybody. But if you're thinking
you're having an even worse day, Paula in a really
a good morning morning, Paula, Hello.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
How's your bad day? Top everyone else's?
Speaker 9 (09:16):
Well, not the friday? Just go on a Friday before
I to get my car service, yes, because it was
dune and I had a check engine light on, so
I asked him.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
To check that that's bad enough while.
Speaker 9 (09:27):
They were servicing at and they thought they fixed it.
So nearly eight hundred dollars later, that was my service
and they thought they'd fixed the check engine light, and
my son left and had to turn around and go
back in because the check engine light come back on.
So they said, I'll ring Monday and book it in.
So I booked it in for Tuesday morning. Tuesday morning,
I had to pay two hundred dollars another two hundred
(09:48):
dollars for them to find this why the check engine
light was on, which I thought's ridiculous, And nearly a
thousand dollars to get my car service and this check
engine light and I finally found the issue, and then
they said i'll give you cloth for and I said,
why don't it be under warrantines and she goes, oh, maybe.
So then we find out yes, it's covered by warranty.
So that got sorted out. And then Wednesday night, I'm
(10:10):
driving home from work and someone drives into me at around.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And let me get the check engine came.
Speaker 9 (10:19):
Well, they took off. I followed them for ten minutes
and finally caught caught them in a suburb and a
roundabout and managed to take a shaky picture of the
number plates. Y yeah go, And of course reported it
to my insurance and the police. And at the moment,
I'm now libel for the seven hundred dollars excess fee
(10:42):
because we they don't know who the driver is yet.
So I've had a pretty crap, pretty crap week last week. Yes,
so it's not a happy girl.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
No, I don't. I don't blame you.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
I just didn't believe. I thought, how did that happen?
How did Yeah? That's car servicing, and now this on
top of it.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
If you'd gone in for a service and had to
take a back the next day. Would this is something
you should have found yesterday?
Speaker 9 (11:12):
Yeah, well I argued with them about it and they
refused to They made me pay it.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, always hide behind, They'll always hide behind the fine print.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
That's Volkswagen in rocking hands.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Okay, falla, thank you. I hope things are get better.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely can't get me worse. No, absolutely not.
All right, Lisa More Russell More Podcast Soon.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
We've been watching every breath they Premier takes lately to
see what's happening with our new public holiday.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yes, we've all been waiting with Beta.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Brea no not you know, suggests that we're a lazy bunch,
but we don't mind it. Easter Holiday. Roger Cook is
joining us this morning.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Good morning, Morning Premier, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
I love that segue from us from a police song
to public holidays, and we.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Do we have some new ones.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
What's going on with the public holidays?
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Yeah, as people to be aware, we've been undertaking a
bit of a review of public holidays in wa both
in terms of the number of them and secondly in
terms of when they occur. So we had about eleven
we've got about eleven public holidays. At the moment, most
states have got around thirteen. And of course, as everyone knows,
all our public holidays are loaded up in the front
(12:38):
half of the year. Yes, and we have to celebrate
wa Day when it's raining in cold, dark and wet. So,
I mean, we wanted to sort of have a look
at this, just provide just to a review. We put
out a little consultation paper. Tens ten thousand people and
organizations responded to that, and so we're proposing some new changes.
(12:58):
Shall I take you through them?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yes? Please?
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Is ready?
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Yeah? Excellent. So we've decided on extra two public holidays,
and as part of that, we want to align a
lot of the public holidays that we have that don't
align with the East Coast, so you know that annoying thing.
We've got a public holiday they don't, then they have
a public holiday, then we don't. So we're aligning Labor
(13:25):
Day and the King's Birthday with the East Coast to
make sure that there's a we get better productivity out
of that. We're a single economy in this country, so
we need to make sure that we can all work together.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
The other thing we've done is we've moved Wada away
from the winter and now the idea is to celebrate
that in the first weekend in November. So basically it
becomes a spring festiv We're celebrating our community, celebrating everything
that's great about our wonderful state. Now, as I said,
we've included two new public holidays. We are aligning solves
(14:00):
the wreck with the East Coast in declaring Easter Saturday
are public holiday now and we're going to bring a
new public holiday in the second half of the year. Now,
this will occur in the first weekend, the first Monday
of the September October school holidays. They know that aligns
with a very important event which every every person living
(14:22):
in Perth loves and that is the Perth World Show.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
So we call that behind.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Yes, absolutely, so that's going to be called Show Day.
A great opportunity for families to spend time together.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
This is all very very very sensible.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I mean, nothing says Waday like cold, wet and duck.
So you know, I mean we want to move back
to November. That makes wonderful sense. And of course people
have been talking about getting our holidays aligned with the
East Coast for years and years and years because it
is a sort of day lost, just sort.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
It was time to time to just do it. You know,
we'll get ourselves better aligned with the East Coast and
we can also braiders one and they.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Weren't going to move to ours. They weren't going to
move to accommodation.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
We have to be the biggest state.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Yeah, that's right. And look there's a few of them.
You know, it doesn't completely line up, but I mean
but basically we're aligning ourselves with the beef big East
Coast economies. We think that's a sensible point of a
sensible approach to take in terms of, you know, just
continuing to drive productivity.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah, as put forward by that, esteem w a publication
on Facebook. At least the bell Tower Times are Clive
Palmer denied days still on the table. Is it a
possibility down the track or have we moved on.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
The reader of the Bell Tower Times. I always make
sure I'm guided by them when it comes to great
public policy.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah, this is your first chat with us with Russell
after the lazy left us stepping into a role with
big shoes to fill. Do you have any advice for Russell?
Speaker 7 (15:56):
First of all, i'd just like to say that my
application to your job got lost in the mail.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I knew I was in a pool of applicants and
there was some pretty high profile one.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Well look, congratulations Russell, and welcome to the day. I'm
sure Lisa is showing you the ropes and yeah, look
as someone else that took over, you know from from
another person with Yeah, and I just say, be you genuine, Russell.
This is your show. This is your show. It's a
(16:34):
bit of enjoy.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It's a bit late in life to try and be
someone else. Now.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I think that's the advice that guy gave you, because
it's very good advice.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Definitely.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Yeah, well we'll look. I obviously catch up with Mark
quite a bit of problem still, you know, get great advice,
but from from time to time. But I just think
people out there want to know who you are and
what you stand for. And that's the that's the issue
that I, you know, continue to guide me all the
way along, is that I'm Roger and I'm just going
(17:07):
to do me.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Hi, I'm Roger.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
You remember me from I think it was Mark Twain
that said be yourself because everyone else is taken.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
That's a beautiful lady, to describe.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
They are words to live by and you may have that.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Well.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Actually I've asked my train, but I'm giving it to you, Roger.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Thank you for the public holidays. Thanks for the chat
this morning. We'll catch up with you soon.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Look forward to the guys.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Thank you very much. And we're we're booking in our
extra holidays.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, that's good stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
But I didn't know. Yeah, we had less than other
parts of the country. I mean, I new Canberra had more.
But then that just goes without saying, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Northern territory I think at the most.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, probably five work.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
You just need it. Oh god, it's hot day.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
You know what is that Todd River thing where they
do the dry river bed with so that a holiday
for that. They have all sorts of all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
It's a crazy place.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Anyway, we're catching up mud crabs moving a few round.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
Sure report on ninety six AIRFM.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
The Emmy Awards they're on this morning.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Apple TV plus is poised to have it time break Well,
it is nighttime, their time, it'll be our time not
too far away.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
This morning.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Apple TV plus is poised to have a breakout Emmy
year with the two most nominated shows Severns and The Studio,
which are the favorites to win the two biggest awards.
The Studio is absolutely my favorite show this year. I
hope it cleans up today. It tied a record for
a comedy with twenty three nominations and with nine Emmys
already won at last Weekend's Creative Arts ceremony. It would
(18:47):
be a major surprise if it did not break the
record of eleven Emmy wins in a season.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
By a comedy.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
That's a nice lead in.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
It is a very nice lead in.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
My fingers are also cross for Cate Blanchette, who one
deserves to win Standing Lead Actress for her role in
another Apple series.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Really is Apple's Year?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
A disclaimer which is wonderful. Kate Blanchette and Kevin Klein, Well, the.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Good thing is if they win, they see a bump
in subscriptions, don't they.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Yes, so more people will go across Apple probably put
up they's probably as well.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Stephen Luscombe, one half of Blamnge, has sadly died age seventy.
His bandmate Neil Arthur, paid a heartfelt tribute to the
musician after the pair rose to start him in the
eighties with their chart topping hits like Living on the Ceiling.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Dressed the way they were dancing around like that, it's
hard to imagine in the seventies. Yes. Wow.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
The Spinal Tap sequel was released in the US on
the weekend, and it has to be said, Spinal Tap
two did not go to eleven over its opening weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
What's wrong with those people? Americans don't have to send
to him.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
The twenty five million dollar sequel to the nineteen eighty
four rock mockumentary made only two point three million across
two thousand cinemas. That's around twelve hundred dollars percent. Yes,
the film's reviews scores weren't great. Metascore gave it a
fifty nine out of one hundred. Look, I think we
all know you're never going to be able to top
the original, but.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
We pumped it up pretty big last week. I can't believe.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Twelve said don't pay much attention to us.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I don't even know where we are, Russell, I don't
know where Perth is on a map. It's not going
to top the original ever, No one is expecting that,
but I'm looking forward to the follow up. Nonetheless, and
it's out here Thursday week, so we can we can
judge then now today's now I've seen it all. Story
involves a man in the US and his emotional support alligator.
(20:41):
The Pennsylvania man is in the news because he and Jinsoshi.
It sounds like Gonzilla, doesn't it. His five foot long
support alligator weren't allowed into Walmart, oh Blow. Sixty year
old Wesley Silver made the local news after a trip
to Walmart, where he was pushing Jinsoshi wearing a dress
by the way, with a fur collar like a jumper,
(21:04):
around Walmart in a shopping trolley.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
I didn't think that I would actually own an alligator ever.
It really kind of incredible. I did some research. I
have kids of my own, and I didn't want to
put anybody in jeopardy.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
And that's at some research.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I was like, you know what, I'll take her. But
you just never know who or what you're going to
connect with until you meet them.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
So evidently they'd been to Walmart before, Wesley and Jinsoshi
without incident or complaint, but this.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Time the store said, yeah no.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Walmart says we welcome service animals in our stores, but
it is unacceptable to expose members of the public to
potential danger. Jinsoshi and indeed any other gators are not welcome.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I'm kind of put it like a muzzle on the
make to muzzles for alligator.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Maybe just some gaffer type around it.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
That's what they do when they're transporting it into Australia Zoo.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
You know, baby Bob jumps on.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
The back and then you shouldn't get back into Walmart.
There you go. Take all Sometimes who would have thought.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Emotional support geetor.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Might look into that some days.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
More of Lisa and Muscles podcast. It's on the way Suit,
let's talk sport bars. Good morning, Good morning Lise.
Speaker 10 (22:26):
And then there were four yeah afl and guess what
three of them are Victorian I know, and there's one
team from the.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Queensland rest of the country.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
We're all by then it's as long as Collingwood doesn't win.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Exactly what everybody exactly what everyone's saying.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
So yeah, it's Brizzy versus the Vics. It was amazing.
So Brisbane thump the Suns, which is pretty strange because
the son.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Was good the first half though. It's pretty tight and
they looked.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
Great against Freemantle, but they weren't great in the second
half against the line.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
To look sharp, look sharp.
Speaker 10 (22:59):
And then it's the Minor Premier's Adelaide out in straight sets,
losing to the Hawks. So I think that's never happened.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Well, it did not win a single quarter in their
whole finals campaign at home as minor premiers. I loved
because I was in Adelaide on the weekend and I
picked up a copy of their Sunday paper yesterday and
one of the headlines was hey, Crows, you've got to
be choking, which I thought was good.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Showed Yeah, it didn't look good.
Speaker 10 (23:31):
So the AFL record books have to be rewritten too,
because Hawthorne becomes the first team that finished eighth to
beat the top team in the finals. Eight's never beaten
one and they knocked them out. Now bred it's up. Sadly,
it could be the biggest waste of the season ever
for Adelaide.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
That's the way they're seeing it, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, But imagine it was a flat over there.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Put it this way. On Saturday, there were a lot
more Hawks scarves around in the Rundle Mall than there
were those ones.
Speaker 10 (24:00):
You can imagine the Port Adelaide fans happy, sticking it
to the craze.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (24:06):
So the third week of finals Friday night it starts
it's going to be Geelong and Hawthorne, which is massive.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Ye do you think so? Yeah? Okay, I think so too.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Pretty good.
Speaker 10 (24:15):
That's traditional rivals, as they say. And then it's Collingwood
and Brisbane twilight Saturday. Yeah, what do you reckon there?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Lose Collingo?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Yeah, it's going to be a Geelong Collingwood Grand Final.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Jeez, I'll tell you.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Well, remember I tipped it was going to be Collingwood
and Brisbane, but that's it's come down to the second
last game and.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It can't happen.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
But yeah, you were good Collingwood. And then let's talk
about the women's derby as well.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
That was on the weekend.
Speaker 10 (24:43):
Jesus conditions down at Freemont, Lov's diabolic or the wind
I reckon it was sixty k's. It's just yeah, it
was unbelievable the way the ball was being blown around
and the dock has got up.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
They won their eighth straight derby.
Speaker 10 (24:56):
Wow, even though they were sort of behind the Eagles
on the ladder. So the one by seven points I
heard you talk to the premiere this morning. Very nice
chat there. I'm seeing him at nine am, so in
forty five minutes at opt the stadium, not just me,
but a whole lot of other pence.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Hence the suit coat when he walked in. Yes, you're
a bit dressed up, had a shave.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
It's the origin.
Speaker 10 (25:19):
Yeah, State of Origin announcement nine am, Reda Saffiotti. I
think Reese Whitby all my friends are there a premiere
and also the head of the AFL.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
They've picked a lot of time of you.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I mean the middle of February.
Speaker 10 (25:34):
Well, it's sort of pre season, isn't it. Ise it'll
be night it will be a night game.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
It has to be.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
You have to be preferably indoors.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Sobruar, I think it's February fourteen, powering.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Yes, that's a good that's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know, job we invented State of Origin?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I know we do.
Speaker 10 (25:54):
Yeah, like by name of Leon Larkin nineteen seventy seven,
Why do we do this?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
And we won? Didn't?
Speaker 10 (26:01):
It was great for a while there Tuesday afternoons and
then molts House killed it.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yes he did.
Speaker 10 (26:07):
You Bolks aren't playing Eagles no, you can't play many
good stuff met I'm doing it.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It's only a lot of Victorians. They never wanted to play.
Every year Plugger would be all, I've hurt myself.
Speaker 10 (26:21):
But there was that year when they had him all
playing ablute and you know the side locker. Besides you know,
just one of the all time great teams. But it
was don't let Mick off.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
The hook was no, don't worry, we remember he killed it.
Very coincidental that he arrived and it stopped.
Speaker 10 (26:37):
Yeah, and may Mayonis is the only one who stood
up to him and he ended up being Captain of Wah.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
I loved him.
Speaker 10 (26:44):
So Sam Kerr the big news this morning though Sam
Kerk has made her come back, the West Australian Girl,
twenty months on the sidelines. Has she still got it? Well,
let's just listen to the audio. Let's just see has
Sam Kerr still got it? Playing for Chelsea?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And so it's great films with a terrific headit to
keep Chelsea at base sun car. Apparently she does suck
doing what she does best.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
I am picking up the pieces.
Speaker 10 (27:13):
For Chelsea sensational return. It was actually a one hundredth
goal for Chelsea they won three to one over Aston
Villa in the Women's Super League, six hundred and thirty
four days since she last played.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
And yes, she still has got it.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
Only youd cam Green during the week and he's been
out with major back surgery and I said, he said
to me, and I didn't know if I'd still have it.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I'm still as good. It's weird how the sportsman you know,
they're not psychological space.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Yeah, psychological as long as the body's up for it.
Speaker 10 (27:44):
And well, Sam's definitely after twenty months and thirty odd
that she is. She's been through a lot. I think
you caught it least, didn't you. Big game, East Perth
defeated Claremont. Yes, in a battle of the I don't
know what you would call it, but it was very
one sided into the crowd.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
East first West, well not quite West Perth, but yeah,
Eastern suburbs v Western suburbs.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
I mean, she doesn't get into the class battles, doesn't
culture battle class warfare.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
At my house back in the day, it was mum
and me versus my dad and my brother and sister
is the way we saw it. Because they were Claremont supporters.
Dad grew up in Claremont and Mum and I were
East Perth, right, I see for some reason my brother
and sister followed dad's sad, but I was true to
the course.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
Well, the Tigers, they're in the Colts Grand Final. They're
in the resis Grand Final, but they're not in the
League Grand Final. East Perth versus South Fremantle.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
It's on Sunday's Perth beat Swan Districts in the reserves though,
didn't they on the weekend?
Speaker 10 (28:48):
Yeah? Yeah, So they're in the Grand final against against Clermont.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
So it's a it's a big date after Stadium on Sunday,
the sand Over Medals on tonight and also the Darrek
Kerr Metal so they put the men's and the women's
medals together at Crown tonight. Two of my players will
pole heavily in the men's award, I think Charlie Constable
and Brandon Parfitt. And there's a guy from South from
(29:14):
out On, Matt Parker I think is going to be
super strong contender, and Tommy North from East Berth as well.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
So well, yeah, we'll see what happens there.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
The best player weird.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yes, Isabella Shannon in the West.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
Now, the Perth Wildcats played yesterday in Perth. You know,
this season starts this weekend. It's underway. The NBA's underway
Saturday night at RC Arena. They're playing Tasmanian jack Jumpers.
They played this Japanese team called ray Uaku Golden Kings
and they beat them.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
And at least they've found this new recruit.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
I know, we're cracking gigs about who they were going
to get to replace Bryce Bryce. Yeah, this American and
former NBA player, Mason Jones. He looks the goods. Shot
seven three pointers because from the NBA they have a
bigger three point line. It's it's a lot further out
so here he must be going. Just knocked seven three
(30:08):
point Yeah. So on their way to twenty two. He
scored twenty two points. So the Cats are about to
start the season. And least you know that Noah Lyles,
who we followed in that game. Yeah, we love him
and he did all the great signs to the cameras.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah, that's in.
Speaker 10 (30:25):
So it was one hundred meters men's final World Athletics
Championships in Tokyo in Japan. There was Obleique several the
Jamaican star Kashane Thompson and lower Noah Lyles. And this
is how Bruce McAvaney saw.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
It away clean Lyarles just behind Thompson's Spinarica slow start,
Seville got a good start, Thompson's in the winning position.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Seville goes up to the two Shamakans.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
It's the young guy Seville over to Thompson and Lyarles.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
We've got a new there is certainly a new team.
Nine to seventy seven that is incredible. The two Jamaicans,
they're back.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
On top, new fastest man in the world and a third.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yeah, and he won't he won't like that.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
Guess what goutgouts around the corner too. Yeah, Ga Gatt said,
I'm not racing the hundreds. I'm just going to race
the two hundreds on Wednesday. And guess what, I'm not
doing a press conference unless added our says.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
To do one.
Speaker 10 (31:26):
So he's going to do one where he's going to
be interviewed by one journalist, like he doesn't like doing
media at the Big Gap, but look out for him
on Wednesday. We have got a great Aussie woman, Torry Lewis.
She ran the fastest one hundred meters by a woman
ever eleven point eight Australian record, but she didn't make
the final because well that's quick.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
In Australia, it's not quick.
Speaker 10 (31:51):
There's a slight differences, a slight The final was won
by Melissa Jefferson Wooden and she ran ten point sixty one,
putting at four in the world all time.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
So that's good.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
It's a short period. You get to be at the
top of that game, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
You know, Yeah, you're talking about well, I'm.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Talking about No, I'm talking about Shikari. I'm talking about
all of those. Just when you get used to them
being there, that they moved on someone.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Someone's quicker, someone's younger, someone's what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Someone hasn't done their hip yet.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
And as easy, how was she hits?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
It's still sore.
Speaker 3 (32:27):

Speaker 2 (32:29):
I would anyway, I know if good physiasts is doing it.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
In thirteen six.
Speaker 10 (32:34):

was a massive game between the Raiders and the Broncos yesterday.
I went an extra time golden point unbelievable won by
the Broncos. But Broncos Reese wilsh just been freed to play,

Ah?
Speaker 3 (01:01):

But I'm just completing my homework as given to me
on Friday or n.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, very good, you've done some homework.
Speaker 4 (01:22):

the bench because I did hurt myself. And you know
what Shakira says about you know, that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:39):

Have you seen the golf buggies that people they they're
just like on a remote and they're.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Moving on their own ahead of people.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I thought someone had let his golf buggies just go,
and I thought in the car park the other.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Thought, let's get a crash into my car like a
shopping trolley.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
But no, he was behind it with a remote and
it was just it was just gliding away in front
of him.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Taking him dog, taking his gear to wear.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
It needs busy. I think I'll be needing one of those,
that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Was he wearing Was he wearing checked pants?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
And no, because he'd spent all his money on his bugget, probably,
I'm expecting they're not cheap.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
There you go. So we're both learning something late in life. Yes,
you golf and me Espaniels Spanish, and so there we are.
So over the weekend, I did my homework and at

She had a bad day, one oh one last week,
tell us what happened morning?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
What happened last Tuesday?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Last Tuesday, after work, I'd been feeling a bit unwell
and went to the doctor and had a whole bunch
of tests done the week before, and I went on
Tuesday to get the results of my blood tests and
turns out I now have about three vitamin deficiencies, which
kind of explain everything going on, I think. So that
was some fun news. And to celebrate, I bought a
(04:04):
pill organizer like the eighty five year old. So I've
finished at the doctors and I've gone to meet someone
for coffee in Wembley and I got rear ended and
he didn't even offer to take me to dinner.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
First, glad you went there.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
And then yeah, to cap that off, I was dealing
with a leak in my roof and a ceiling in
my and oh god, once again.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Am I understanding this story?
Speaker 5 (04:37):
So you know, it's just one thing after another.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
And yeah, well at.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Least that's the three, the three three deficiencies and three incidents.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I'm not feeling so bad about how things are going,
that's for sure. Compared to you.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Wow, Okay, you're a winner today.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Actually, SUSI is not. She can't. She would have you
think you're having a bad.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
That's that's pretty hard to top. But I'm sure there's
someone out there with a even sadder story we want
to hear from you.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, it's Monday. We had a bad day.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Melon Woodridge's day started with leaving her coffee on the
bench near the kettle. Had to go through Maca's drive through,
only to discover I'd left my purse on the table
as well, so I couldn't even buy one. Just when
you pick a caget any worse, Melanie, I feel your pain.
Speaker 3 (05:27):

Think you're having a mad day? Can you top it?
Speaker 7 (05:42):
Well?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I just had to take my mum to the airport.
She's flying to Adelaide. We had to leave at four am.
So I've jumped out of bed, just throwing my Tracki's
on jump our jacket, you know, jumped in the car
half a slate, drop through at the airport. It was crazy.
Had to get fuel on the way back, filled up,
gone into the service station and I've screamed because I've
(06:03):
felt this thing going down my leg and I've shaked
my leg and my undies flew out the bottom of
my past across the service station. And this guy like
looked at me and there's my undies on the floor,
and I'm low. I'm mortified, absolutely mortified.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
So you pulled on the pads that you'd taken off
with the undeasy.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I know what you're saying. Hey, yes, happened to all
of us at some stage. Girl, I have heard people.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Say this story before, that there are needs to come
out of the legs.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
It's never happened.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, it is a thing.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Never happened to You've never taken your pats and your
undies off all at once and then put the pants
back on, not realizing there's these.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I was going to.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
See me, I was going to set man. I thought
I could have been worse. I thought it was a mouse.
I thought it was a mouse in my pat.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Yes, I mean, I feel sorry for you, but gee,
that's funny.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
It's just kind of like he was looking at me
and looking at the floor and looking at me, and
I was like, I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Where where they'll just get my Nickas.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Was it a g or a was it g string

Speaker 4 (08:30):
It happens rather sometimes when you take your your year
off and you just take it all off in one go,
and then you might put the pants back on the
next morning, just to pop out to the shop and.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
On to the airport at four o'clock in the morning,

Speaker 4 (08:44):

a good morning morning, Paula, Hello.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
How's your bad day? Top everyone else's?
Speaker 9 (09:16):
Well, not the friday? Just go on a Friday before
I to get my car service, yes, because it was
dune and I had a check engine light on, so
I asked him.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
To check that that's bad enough while.
Speaker 9 (09:27):
They were servicing at and they thought they fixed it.
So nearly eight hundred dollars later, that was my service
and they thought they'd fixed the check engine light, and
my son left and had to turn around and go
back in because the check engine light come back on.
So they said, I'll ring Monday and book it in.
So I booked it in for Tuesday morning. Tuesday morning,
I had to pay two hundred dollars another two hundred
(09:48):
dollars for them to find this why the check engine
light was on, which I thought's ridiculous, And nearly a
thousand dollars to get my car service and this check
engine light and I finally found the issue, and then
they said i'll give you cloth for and I said,
why don't it be under warrantines and she goes, oh, maybe.
So then we find out yes, it's covered by warranty.
So that got sorted out. And then Wednesday night, I'm
(10:10):
driving home from work and someone drives into me at around.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And let me get the check engine came.
Speaker 9 (10:19):
Well, they took off. I followed them for ten minutes
and finally caught caught them in a suburb and a
roundabout and managed to take a shaky picture of the
number plates. Y yeah go, And of course reported it
to my insurance and the police. And at the moment,
I'm now libel for the seven hundred dollars excess fee
(10:42):

So I've had a pretty crap, pretty crap week last week. Yes,
so it's not a happy girl.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
No, I don't. I don't blame you.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
I just didn't believe. I thought, how did that happen?
How did Yeah? That's car servicing, and now this on
top of it.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
If you'd gone in for a service and had to
take a back the next day. Would this is something
you should have found yesterday?
Speaker 9 (11:12):
Yeah, well I argued with them about it and they
refused to They made me pay it.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, always hide behind, They'll always hide behind the fine print.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
That's Volkswagen in rocking hands.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Okay, falla, thank you. I hope things are get better.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely can't get me worse. No, absolutely not.
All right, Lisa More Russell More Podcast Soon.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
We've been watching every breath they Premier takes lately to
see what's happening with our new public holiday.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yes, we've all been waiting with Beta.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Brea no not you know, suggests that we're a lazy bunch,
but we don't mind it. Easter Holiday. Roger Cook is
joining us this morning.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Good morning, Morning Premier, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
I love that segue from us from a police song
to public holidays, and we.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Do we have some new ones.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
What's going on with the public holidays?
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Yeah, as people to be aware, we've been undertaking a
bit of a review of public holidays in wa both
in terms of the number of them and secondly in
terms of when they occur. So we had about eleven
we've got about eleven public holidays. At the moment, most
states have got around thirteen. And of course, as everyone knows,
all our public holidays are loaded up in the front
(12:38):
half of the year. Yes, and we have to celebrate
wa Day when it's raining in cold, dark and wet. So,
I mean, we wanted to sort of have a look
at this, just provide just to a review. We put
out a little consultation paper. Tens ten thousand people and
organizations responded to that, and so we're proposing some new changes.
(12:58):
Shall I take you through them?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yes? Please?
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Is ready?
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Yeah? Excellent. So we've decided on extra two public holidays,
and as part of that, we want to align a
lot of the public holidays that we have that don't
align with the East Coast, so you know that annoying thing.
We've got a public holiday they don't, then they have
a public holiday, then we don't. So we're aligning Labor
(13:25):
Day and the King's Birthday with the East Coast to
make sure that there's a we get better productivity out
of that. We're a single economy in this country, so
we need to make sure that we can all work together.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
The other thing we've done is we've moved Wada away
from the winter and now the idea is to celebrate
that in the first weekend in November. So basically it
becomes a spring festiv We're celebrating our community, celebrating everything
that's great about our wonderful state. Now, as I said,
we've included two new public holidays. We are aligning solves
(14:00):
the wreck with the East Coast in declaring Easter Saturday
are public holiday now and we're going to bring a
new public holiday in the second half of the year. Now,
this will occur in the first weekend, the first Monday
of the September October school holidays. They know that aligns
with a very important event which every every person living
(14:22):
in Perth loves and that is the Perth World Show.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
So we call that behind.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Yes, absolutely, so that's going to be called Show Day.
A great opportunity for families to spend time together.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
This is all very very very sensible.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I mean, nothing says Waday like cold, wet and duck.
So you know, I mean we want to move back
to November. That makes wonderful sense. And of course people
have been talking about getting our holidays aligned with the
East Coast for years and years and years because it
is a sort of day lost, just sort.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
It was time to time to just do it. You know,
we'll get ourselves better aligned with the East Coast and
we can also braiders one and they.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Weren't going to move to ours. They weren't going to
move to accommodation.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
We have to be the biggest state.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Yeah, that's right. And look there's a few of them.
You know, it doesn't completely line up, but I mean
but basically we're aligning ourselves with the beef big East
Coast economies. We think that's a sensible point of a
sensible approach to take in terms of, you know, just
continuing to drive productivity.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah, as put forward by that, esteem w a publication
on Facebook. At least the bell Tower Times are Clive
Palmer denied days still on the table. Is it a
possibility down the track or have we moved on.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
The reader of the Bell Tower Times. I always make
sure I'm guided by them when it comes to great
public policy.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah, this is your first chat with us with Russell
after the lazy left us stepping into a role with
big shoes to fill. Do you have any advice for Russell?
Speaker 7 (15:56):
First of all, i'd just like to say that my
application to your job got lost in the mail.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I knew I was in a pool of applicants and
there was some pretty high profile one.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Well look, congratulations Russell, and welcome to the day. I'm
sure Lisa is showing you the ropes and yeah, look
as someone else that took over, you know from from
another person with Yeah, and I just say, be you genuine, Russell.
This is your show. This is your show. It's a
(16:34):
bit of enjoy.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It's a bit late in life to try and be
someone else. Now.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I think that's the advice that guy gave you, because
it's very good advice.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Definitely.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Yeah, well we'll look. I obviously catch up with Mark
quite a bit of problem still, you know, get great advice,
but from from time to time. But I just think
people out there want to know who you are and
what you stand for. And that's the that's the issue
that I, you know, continue to guide me all the
way along, is that I'm Roger and I'm just going
(17:07):
to do me.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Hi, I'm Roger.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
You remember me from I think it was Mark Twain
that said be yourself because everyone else is taken.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
That's a beautiful lady, to describe.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
They are words to live by and you may have that.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Well.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Actually I've asked my train, but I'm giving it to you, Roger.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Thank you for the public holidays. Thanks for the chat
this morning. We'll catch up with you soon.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Look forward to the guys.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Thank you very much. And we're we're booking in our
extra holidays.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, that's good stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
But I didn't know. Yeah, we had less than other
parts of the country. I mean, I new Canberra had more.
But then that just goes without saying, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Northern territory I think at the most.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, probably five work.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
You just need it. Oh god, it's hot day.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
You know what is that Todd River thing where they
do the dry river bed with so that a holiday
for that. They have all sorts of all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
It's a crazy place.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Anyway, we're catching up mud crabs moving a few round.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
Sure report on ninety six AIRFM.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
The Emmy Awards they're on this morning.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Apple TV plus is poised to have it time break Well,
it is nighttime, their time, it'll be our time not
too far away.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
This morning.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Apple TV plus is poised to have a breakout Emmy
year with the two most nominated shows Severns and The Studio,
which are the favorites to win the two biggest awards.
The Studio is absolutely my favorite show this year. I
hope it cleans up today. It tied a record for
a comedy with twenty three nominations and with nine Emmys
already won at last Weekend's Creative Arts ceremony. It would
(18:47):
be a major surprise if it did not break the
record of eleven Emmy wins in a season.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
By a comedy.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
That's a nice lead in.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
It is a very nice lead in.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
My fingers are also cross for Cate Blanchette, who one
deserves to win Standing Lead Actress for her role in
another Apple series.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Really is Apple's Year?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
A disclaimer which is wonderful. Kate Blanchette and Kevin Klein, Well, the.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Good thing is if they win, they see a bump
in subscriptions, don't they.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Yes, so more people will go across Apple probably put
up they's probably as well.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Stephen Luscombe, one half of Blamnge, has sadly died age seventy.
His bandmate Neil Arthur, paid a heartfelt tribute to the
musician after the pair rose to start him in the
eighties with their chart topping hits like Living on the Ceiling.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Dressed the way they were dancing around like that, it's
hard to imagine in the seventies. Yes. Wow.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
The Spinal Tap sequel was released in the US on
the weekend, and it has to be said, Spinal Tap
two did not go to eleven over its opening weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
What's wrong with those people? Americans don't have to send
to him.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
The twenty five million dollar sequel to the nineteen eighty
four rock mockumentary made only two point three million across
two thousand cinemas. That's around twelve hundred dollars percent. Yes,
the film's reviews scores weren't great. Metascore gave it a
fifty nine out of one hundred. Look, I think we
all know you're never going to be able to top
the original, but.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
We pumped it up pretty big last week. I can't believe.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Twelve said don't pay much attention to us.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I don't even know where we are, Russell, I don't
know where Perth is on a map. It's not going
to top the original ever, No one is expecting that,
but I'm looking forward to the follow up. Nonetheless, and
it's out here Thursday week, so we can we can
judge then now today's now I've seen it all. Story
involves a man in the US and his emotional support alligator.
(20:41):
The Pennsylvania man is in the news because he and Jinsoshi.
It sounds like Gonzilla, doesn't it. His five foot long
support alligator weren't allowed into Walmart, oh Blow. Sixty year
old Wesley Silver made the local news after a trip
to Walmart, where he was pushing Jinsoshi wearing a dress
by the way, with a fur collar like a jumper,
(21:04):
around Walmart in a shopping trolley.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
I didn't think that I would actually own an alligator ever.
It really kind of incredible. I did some research. I
have kids of my own, and I didn't want to
put anybody in jeopardy.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
And that's at some research.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I was like, you know what, I'll take her. But
you just never know who or what you're going to
connect with until you meet them.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
So evidently they'd been to Walmart before, Wesley and Jinsoshi
without incident or complaint, but this.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Time the store said, yeah no.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Walmart says we welcome service animals in our stores, but
it is unacceptable to expose members of the public to
potential danger. Jinsoshi and indeed any other gators are not welcome.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I'm kind of put it like a muzzle on the
make to muzzles for alligator.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Maybe just some gaffer type around it.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
That's what they do when they're transporting it into Australia Zoo.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
You know, baby Bob jumps on.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
The back and then you shouldn't get back into Walmart.
There you go. Take all Sometimes who would have thought.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Emotional support geetor.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Might look into that some days.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
More of Lisa and Muscles podcast. It's on the way Suit,
let's talk sport bars. Good morning, Good morning Lise.
Speaker 10 (22:26):
And then there were four yeah afl and guess what
three of them are Victorian I know, and there's one
team from the.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Queensland rest of the country.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
We're all by then it's as long as Collingwood doesn't win.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Exactly what everybody exactly what everyone's saying.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
So yeah, it's Brizzy versus the Vics. It was amazing.
So Brisbane thump the Suns, which is pretty strange because
the son.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Was good the first half though. It's pretty tight and
they looked.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
Great against Freemantle, but they weren't great in the second
half against the line.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
To look sharp, look sharp.
Speaker 10 (22:59):
And then it's the Minor Premier's Adelaide out in straight sets,
losing to the Hawks. So I think that's never happened.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Well, it did not win a single quarter in their
whole finals campaign at home as minor premiers. I loved
because I was in Adelaide on the weekend and I
picked up a copy of their Sunday paper yesterday and
one of the headlines was hey, Crows, you've got to
be choking, which I thought was good.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Showed Yeah, it didn't look good.
Speaker 10 (23:31):
So the AFL record books have to be rewritten too,
because Hawthorne becomes the first team that finished eighth to
beat the top team in the finals. Eight's never beaten
one and they knocked them out. Now bred it's up. Sadly,
it could be the biggest waste of the season ever
for Adelaide.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
That's the way they're seeing it, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, But imagine it was a flat over there.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Put it this way. On Saturday, there were a lot
more Hawks scarves around in the Rundle Mall than there
were those ones.
Speaker 10 (24:00):
You can imagine the Port Adelaide fans happy, sticking it
to the craze.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (24:06):
So the third week of finals Friday night it starts
it's going to be Geelong and Hawthorne, which is massive.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Ye do you think so? Yeah? Okay, I think so too.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Pretty good.
Speaker 10 (24:15):
That's traditional rivals, as they say. And then it's Collingwood
and Brisbane twilight Saturday. Yeah, what do you reckon there?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Lose Collingo?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Yeah, it's going to be a Geelong Collingwood Grand Final.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Jeez, I'll tell you.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Well, remember I tipped it was going to be Collingwood
and Brisbane, but that's it's come down to the second
last game and.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It can't happen.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
But yeah, you were good Collingwood. And then let's talk
about the women's derby as well.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
That was on the weekend.
Speaker 10 (24:43):
Jesus conditions down at Freemont, Lov's diabolic or the wind
I reckon it was sixty k's. It's just yeah, it
was unbelievable the way the ball was being blown around
and the dock has got up.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
They won their eighth straight derby.
Speaker 10 (24:56):
Wow, even though they were sort of behind the Eagles
on the ladder. So the one by seven points I
heard you talk to the premiere this morning. Very nice
chat there. I'm seeing him at nine am, so in
forty five minutes at opt the stadium, not just me,
but a whole lot of other pence.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Hence the suit coat when he walked in. Yes, you're
a bit dressed up, had a shave.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
It's the origin.
Speaker 10 (25:19):
Yeah, State of Origin announcement nine am, Reda Saffiotti. I
think Reese Whitby all my friends are there a premiere
and also the head of the AFL.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
They've picked a lot of time of you.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I mean the middle of February.
Speaker 10 (25:34):
Well, it's sort of pre season, isn't it. Ise it'll
be night it will be a night game.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
It has to be.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
You have to be preferably indoors.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Sobruar, I think it's February fourteen, powering.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Yes, that's a good that's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know, job we invented State of Origin?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I know we do.
Speaker 10 (25:54):
Yeah, like by name of Leon Larkin nineteen seventy seven,
Why do we do this?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
And we won? Didn't?
Speaker 10 (26:01):
It was great for a while there Tuesday afternoons and
then molts House killed it.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yes he did.
Speaker 10 (26:07):
You Bolks aren't playing Eagles no, you can't play many
good stuff met I'm doing it.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It's only a lot of Victorians. They never wanted to play.
Every year Plugger would be all, I've hurt myself.
Speaker 10 (26:21):
But there was that year when they had him all
playing ablute and you know the side locker. Besides you know,
just one of the all time great teams. But it
was don't let Mick off.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
The hook was no, don't worry, we remember he killed it.
Very coincidental that he arrived and it stopped.
Speaker 10 (26:37):
Yeah, and may Mayonis is the only one who stood
up to him and he ended up being Captain of Wah.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
I loved him.
Speaker 10 (26:44):
So Sam Kerr the big news this morning though Sam
Kerk has made her come back, the West Australian Girl,
twenty months on the sidelines. Has she still got it? Well,
let's just listen to the audio. Let's just see has
Sam Kerr still got it? Playing for Chelsea?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And so it's great films with a terrific headit to
keep Chelsea at base sun car. Apparently she does suck
doing what she does best.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
I am picking up the pieces.
Speaker 10 (27:13):
For Chelsea sensational return. It was actually a one hundredth
goal for Chelsea they won three to one over Aston
Villa in the Women's Super League, six hundred and thirty
four days since she last played.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
And yes, she still has got it.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
Only youd cam Green during the week and he's been
out with major back surgery and I said, he said
to me, and I didn't know if I'd still have it.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I'm still as good. It's weird how the sportsman you know,
they're not psychological space.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Yeah, psychological as long as the body's up for it.
Speaker 10 (27:44):
And well, Sam's definitely after twenty months and thirty odd
that she is. She's been through a lot. I think
you caught it least, didn't you. Big game, East Perth
defeated Claremont. Yes, in a battle of the I don't
know what you would call it, but it was very
one sided into the crowd.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
East first West, well not quite West Perth, but yeah,
Eastern suburbs v Western suburbs.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
I mean, she doesn't get into the class battles, doesn't
culture battle class warfare.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
At my house back in the day, it was mum
and me versus my dad and my brother and sister
is the way we saw it. Because they were Claremont supporters.
Dad grew up in Claremont and Mum and I were
East Perth, right, I see for some reason my brother
and sister followed dad's sad, but I was true to
the course.
Speaker 10 (28:35):
Well, the Tigers, they're in the Colts Grand Final. They're
in the resis Grand Final, but they're not in the
League Grand Final. East Perth versus South Fremantle.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
It's on Sunday's Perth beat Swan Districts in the reserves though,
didn't they on the weekend?
Speaker 10 (28:48):
Yeah? Yeah, So they're in the Grand final against against Clermont.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
So it's a it's a big date after Stadium on Sunday,
the sand Over Medals on tonight and also the Darrek
Kerr Metal so they put the men's and the women's
medals together at Crown tonight. Two of my players will
pole heavily in the men's award, I think Charlie Constable
and Brandon Parfitt. And there's a guy from South from
(29:14):
out On, Matt Parker I think is going to be
super strong contender, and Tommy North from East Berth as well.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
So well, yeah, we'll see what happens there.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
The best player weird.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yes, Isabella Shannon in the West.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
Now, the Perth Wildcats played yesterday in Perth. You know,
this season starts this weekend. It's underway. The NBA's underway
Saturday night at RC Arena. They're playing Tasmanian jack Jumpers.
They played this Japanese team called ray Uaku Golden Kings
and they beat them.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
And at least they've found this new recruit.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
I know, we're cracking gigs about who they were going
to get to replace Bryce Bryce. Yeah, this American and
former NBA player, Mason Jones. He looks the goods. Shot
seven three pointers because from the NBA they have a
bigger three point line. It's it's a lot further out
so here he must be going. Just knocked seven three
(30:08):
point Yeah. So on their way to twenty two. He
scored twenty two points. So the Cats are about to
start the season. And least you know that Noah Lyles,
who we followed in that game. Yeah, we love him
and he did all the great signs to the cameras.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah, that's in.
Speaker 10 (30:25):
So it was one hundred meters men's final World Athletics
Championships in Tokyo in Japan. There was Obleique several the
Jamaican star Kashane Thompson and lower Noah Lyles. And this
is how Bruce McAvaney saw.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
It away clean Lyarles just behind Thompson's Spinarica slow start,
Seville got a good start, Thompson's in the winning position.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Seville goes up to the two Shamakans.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
It's the young guy Seville over to Thompson and Lyarles.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
We've got a new there is certainly a new team.
Nine to seventy seven that is incredible. The two Jamaicans,
they're back.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
On top, new fastest man in the world and a third.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yeah, and he won't he won't like that.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
Guess what goutgouts around the corner too. Yeah, Ga Gatt said,
I'm not racing the hundreds. I'm just going to race
the two hundreds on Wednesday. And guess what, I'm not
doing a press conference unless added our says.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
To do one.
Speaker 10 (31:26):
So he's going to do one where he's going to
be interviewed by one journalist, like he doesn't like doing
media at the Big Gap, but look out for him
on Wednesday. We have got a great Aussie woman, Torry Lewis.
She ran the fastest one hundred meters by a woman
ever eleven point eight Australian record, but she didn't make
the final because well that's quick.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
In Australia, it's not quick.
Speaker 10 (31:51):
There's a slight differences, a slight The final was won
by Melissa Jefferson Wooden and she ran ten point sixty one,
putting at four in the world all time.

And as I go out the NRL nral fans, there
was a massive game between the Raiders and the Broncos yesterday.
I went an extra time golden point unbelievable won by
the Broncos. But Broncos Reese wilsh just been freed to play,
no suspension for that. Whatever he did, they thought it
was a head butt, so Pippa, we'll be very happy
