It’s been a pet-themed week on the show, with Lisa & Russell opening the phones and text lines to find Perth’s oldest pet and wow, did the listeners deliver! Turns out there are some seriously long-lived (and weirdly wonderful) critters living in homes across the city. Hayden Young popped by ahead of this weekend’s finals clash against the Gold Coast Suns. Stoic, focused, and finals-ready - the Dockers defender sounds more than up for the challenge. Lisa also dropped the big news: a Split Enz reunion is on the cards! Plus, she took a stab at unpacking some classic R.E.M. lyrics and let’s just say, the jury's still out on what’s going on in "It’s the End of the World As We Know It.” Ben O’Shea rounded things out with a review of The Roses, the new star-studded British comedy remake of War of the Roses. Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman are hilarious together, even if the supporting cast doesn’t quite keep up. Bonus points for a standout cameo from Allison Janney.

Tirama Sue World Cup.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
If We Must Bear. Noche reviews The Roses starring Olivia
Coleman and Benedett Cumberbatch.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Split Ends is Reuniting, and we opened the Book of Records,
and today look for Perth's oldest pet.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
And the lyrics of a famous Arim song have finally
been explained by singer Michael Stipe.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
He set another record, incredible world record Lisa and Russell's
Book of Records.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
We've never seen anything like it.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But we can't build it without no, we can't. And
today we are looking for w Way's oldest pet. So
I'll start my cat, Joey. She's twenty. My last cat,
scout named after scouting to kill a mockingbird, was also twenty,
So Joey is going for the record. That's not bad
(01:17):
at my house, but.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Next month. It's a long way to go.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
He's for and she's got a long way to go.
What you got got the oldest pet? Anyone got a
galapagus tourists in their back pond because those things can
live for two hundred years, So you would have inherited it,
I guess, yes, so a few generations down it has
been passed down. That's something old, something new, something borrowed,
(01:49):
something galapagos. But if you have we want to hear
from you. Are you talking about pets a bit? This week?
We've got we had the pet to tech there going
on at Susie's place, the pet de tech. It was
on to that. There will be more to come on that.
So we are looking for w Way's oldest pet.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yes, maybe a budgery cars.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
How long to that? I don't know. I don't know.
It's not going to be a goldfish.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Well, I've been through a couple of goldfish and that
it didn't end well, not for them.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
When you say you've been through a couple of goldfish,
was it, to all intents and purposes, the same goldfish
or was it really you know, a couple.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Of yeah goldfish? Yeah, well it was. That was the
kids to look after, but they were much younger back then.
And yeah, that in hindsight might have been a mistake,
especially for the goldfish.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Because like Janellen Ravenswood has, her beautiful quarter horse was
thirty four years old when she died earlier this year.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Thirty four. That's a good run.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
The inning and now. Fun fact because we were talking
about Galapaicus tortoises and if you had one it might
be two hundred years old. Alex and Sterling was just
letting us know on the text in nineteen ninety nine
he said, my brother was the zoo keeper for John Roberts,
and the Galapicus tortoise they had was collected by Charles
Darwin in the early eighteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Wow, So there we are.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I actually have someone who knew a galapagus.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Isn't it amazing that something can be that old?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, that's amazing. Credible doesn't count because it wasn't a pair.
But two what also doesn't count is please no pet rocks.
We know they are anything up to four billion years old. Yeah,
we know.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
What about a tabagotchi? If you've got a greenland shark.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Once again, this is just not that who has a
greenland shark.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Well, just in case you did, they can live to
be four hundred, four hundred years old.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
There you go, there's another you inherit.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
To be four hundred. Sophie and spear Wood. Hello, Hi there,
how are you going?
Speaker 5 (03:54):
You got so food? Well already I haven't passed the
thirty four year old. Who No, but my beautiful cat, Princess,
named by my five year old at the time, is
nearly twenty two.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Oh moving moving around a lot fifty.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Is she an in cat?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Well? She does go out? Yeah, not as much. Yeah,
she's deaf, as deaf as a post.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yea has she got the mice are safe at your places?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
She just can't be bothered. She's past that now.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Does she have a sorry Lisa, No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I was just gonna say, does she have a kitty
little trade?
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Yeah? She does, and it depends her mood what she
wants to do. She's got a window she can get out.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Because in and out my cat, who's twenty two years
younger than Princess Fiona, she's she's suddenly chosen to just
not use the kitty litter track. I think I'll just
get They'll just go in the corner of the kitchen
or something.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I can't make it, so I just find I have
to a reply. I have to change it all the time.
She's costing me a fortune and kip you okay.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
All right, sleep a lot, Okay, okay, thanks Sophie, twenty
two year old cat. That's that's old Andrew in Mululu.
What have you gosh?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, hi, yeah, I've got a that I got off
a mate about fifteen years ago. Years and when I
got it off old Tom, he's about seventy now. He
couldn't look after it anymore because he wasn't going up
to farm often enough. But it's a long bill, Corella.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
He had owned it for thirty five years. Wow, and
it wasn't a baby when he got it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Hang on, he'd had it for thirty five you've had
it for fifteen. It's fifty years old.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Well at least because there wasn't a baby when he
got it. He said he wasn't sure how it was
when he got it.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Could be as old as us.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It could be. It could have been born the same
year as me.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So it's just a young thing.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It still needs carbon dating. Well, my d I'm the same.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
My god, can't you can't you do it by counting
the rings?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
True?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Oh my god, I don't blame you, mate.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Fifty plus years old, long billed Corrella.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Doesn't everyone have one of those?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's going to be hard to beat in the book
a record.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Very hard. I think you're out in front of the moment, Andreik.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You are.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Really well. You get cranky is you get older?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Let's face it, cranky Corrella.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
This one, this one loves loves femals, but hates men,
absolutely hates men. Changes me if it ever gets out.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Okay, it's definitely like fifty bye. All right, that's that's
old at least fifty.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, that's a good innings.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's a that's a typical lady doesn't tell her.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Maybe it's a bit cranky that it's holding on so long.
It's enough and those applications coming in for the longest
lived pet.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yes, it's it's Book of Records day today and we
are looking for doubly Way's oldest pet. Brian in Ebleton
inherited a pink and greg glaugh from his aunt who
got it from her mother who's over seventy.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Now, wow, the galar that is pink.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
They can apparently they can live to be over one hundred.
Looking for doub Way's oldest pet today, Kristin in Darling Downs,
have you got Good morning Kristin.
Speaker 7 (07:55):
Good morning guy. So my cousins has my grandmother's turtle, Okay, Yeah,
it's been in my life forever. Yeah, and I believe
it's just it's just over seventy years.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Old, eligible for a pension.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
I don't know what its original name was now I
can't remember, but called it. My cousins have called it Ninja,
after Ninja turtles.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Its name originally was probably Gerty or something like that,
something of its time.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It was before Donatello or any of those.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Exactly right. Oh, that's amazing. Christmas's old seventy two.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
And how's Donatello or Ninja or or Gerty. How they're
holding up after seventy plus years?
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Really well, it looks the same change.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You could say they're a bit slow, but you know
they always were amazing Kristin. That will probably make it
into the book of record. Thank you very much, Thank
you guys.
Speaker 3 (09:02):

Speaker 8 (09:27):
To book your free quote search Perth Window.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And Door Bounce down for the elimination final against the
Gold Coast Suns is five thirty five at Optus and
we are all reckoning showers will a bug it off?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, we reckon and some good drainage at Optis Stadium
and I think the ground should be fine.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
He looks for he looks great and young. Good morning.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
Yeah, weekend off, so weekend, ready to jump back into it,
prepared as.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
He could be.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Got your NFL draft under control. That was last time
we spoke to you.
Speaker 10 (10:02):
It's nice that they could give me the week after.
So NFL drafts sorted. First games tomorrow, so I'm excited.
I'll be watching on but we've got bigger things on
the cards this weekend, So very exciting.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I've been swimming with the whales at later Yeah, really
preparing in.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
It's a good sign.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
That's physical and mental preparation.
Speaker 10 (10:23):
Exactly exactly what the weather's just been amazing, so it's
like it sort of feels like Finals time with the
weather at the moment, which is which is nice.
Speaker 9 (10:29):
So I've been out swimming the whales and enjoying my
weekend off.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That's what you've been doing. How about the team, how
have they been preparing differently?
Speaker 9 (10:37):
Well, that's a good question. I think everyone's enjoyed a
bit of time off. I know the boys.
Speaker 10 (10:41):
A few lads went across to Rottenness on the weekend
and enjoyed some of the weather over there and had lunch.
Speaker 9 (10:48):
But yeah, everyone's feeling really excited.
Speaker 10 (10:50):
It's sort of funny when you have a week off,
when you come back, there's no game to sort of review.
So the first half of the week's been pretty sharp,
which has been nice. I think that's refreshing. The season
can get quite monotonous at times, and it's been nice
to sort of refresh and come in And we trained
yesterday and had a really really sharp session and then
we'll train again today.
Speaker 9 (11:10):
So I mean, everyone's feeling really good.
Speaker 10 (11:12):
It's super excited, and one thing we have noticed is
that everyone in Frio is super excited about what's happening,
and a lot of people have been stopping us in
the street and saying good luck, and yeah, the excitement's building,
which is just great to say in the city of
Frios coming to life.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I haven't been down to Frio for a little while,
but have they got the streamers up like they used
to have them in all days?
Speaker 9 (11:31):
I think they're just keeping it, keeping it.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, just yeah, the first weekend titles, keeping it on it.
But surely the team is feeling confident because you go
in with you know, one twelve out of your last
fourteen games.
Speaker 10 (11:46):
Yeah, No, we are certainly feeling really good about our
foot at the moment, and I think we've got a
good look at what our best looks like. And obviously
when we don't get it right, sort of the contrast
to the Brisbane game and the Doggies game, both against
really quality opposition, and yeah, a lot of the things
that we did did right, we're pretty easy fixes. Really,
it was about doing it together as a team and
(12:07):
just executing a job, and we were able to do
that for longer against Bulldogs, and I mean that's the
blueprint going forward, and no matter who we vers, Gold
Coaster a really quality opposition and whoever we first going forward,
if we win, you know, it's just about doing it together,
which is in.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
This case it's the purple point.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
And having that week off and not having to travel
for your first final, that must be a real, a
real bonus.
Speaker 10 (12:31):
Yeah, definitely, that's one thing that after the Doggies game,
we were pretty happy that we sort of locked in
a home final, because, yeah, it's a big advantage in
any final, but particularly when we get to play in
front of our home crowd. It's sold out pretty much,
so we're going to have close to sixty thousand there,
which would just be absolutely amazing. And yeah, from memory,
(12:52):
the last time I played a final Adopts it was,
you know, one of my favorite games we've been a
part of, and it was by far the loudest game
I've been at, so super exciting.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, it is the Sun's first ever finals appearance. You
remember your first ever finals appearance and it was, as
you said, you played it at home. Can you imagine
how they're feeling coming in coming here and being their
first Can we can we use that we're going to
make them feel well.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
I don't think we'll make them feel welcome. I think
we've got to expect they're going to be pretty fired up. Yeah,
you know, they're they're a new cup like us, and
they're they're pretty excited bout the opportunity they've got ahead
of us as a way, and we're ready for their best,
and we think it's going to be a pretty fierce contest.
They're a team that's really strong in the contest and
that's where their games won and lost. So yeah, no,
(13:42):
we've got to expect their best, and we got to
expect them to be fired up. But we're certainly leaning
on a homegrown advantage and leaning into our crowd and
getting them involved.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Making them, make them feel.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Exact, let them take care of that one of them
and they will.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah, they will, they will. They're practicing at home all right.
One of the Sun's players, Noah Anderson. I know you
guys talked about it last week, but you guys are
pretty close, so you've come up through the system together.
How does it feel when you're quite you have quite
a close close relationship with a player under these circumstances,
(14:20):
all bets off. Would he be disappointed if you went easy?
Speaker 9 (14:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I think so.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
I think definitely.
Speaker 10 (14:29):
When you cross that white line, doesn't matter how close
your relationship is. It's footy and you just got to
right there compete, and at the end of the day,
end of the season, you know we're still mates and yeah,
that's all good. But I'm sure he'll want to win
just as much as I want to win, and that's
what's going to make it a great contest.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, regardless of what happens and how far Free are
go in the finals, this will be NAT five's final
game at OPTAs, so there is that to consider as
a lot final. Didn't he is the five final? Didn't
he give you a big finals message this week?
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (14:59):
Well he did. Yeah, Yeah, we on the weekend, so
not on the weekend.
Speaker 10 (15:02):
On Friday last week, we caught up as a group
in Freo and sort of just had a lunch together
and reflected on the season, and yeah, five he spoke
to the group a little bit.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
It was kind of like a little finals edition.
Speaker 10 (15:13):
Yeah, sort of speaking on his experiences in the past
and what he's sort of learned from finals and what
this moment sort of requires from us. And no, I mean,
whenever five he speaks, everyone listens, and he's always articulates
himself very well. And he had some great messages for us,
but I won't share them with you.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
No, that's okay, that's that's all yours. One thing we
would like you to share. One last thing. What do
you want from the crowd there on Saturday night? You
just want them to be loud, You want them to
be sea of purple. What do you want to see
and hear when you look up when you run out there?
Speaker 9 (15:48):
From last time, I remember it being deafening and it
felt like there was movement in the end.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Okay, I just remember you wanted to register on the yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:59):
Scale it is. I want to register.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
If if Opus had a roof, they'd want it blown off.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Okay, that is what we're asking for.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
All right, that's the.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Time and sixty thousand, Yeah, they can do it, can
be done.
Speaker 9 (16:09):
Yeah, I'm hoping for a record crowd. That would be amazing.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I think I think it's I think it's a very
very good chance.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I think it's a given. Well, we wish you all
the luck.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Really work better than a good chance.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, yeah, And we can't wait to see you next
week to talk about who you're going.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
To be playing with, which, yeah, very good teams.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
But let's take away one time.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
One week at a time.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Sorry, hang on forty cliche, thank you hated best luck.
On Saturdays, there's sure report on ninety six air FM.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
How would you like to see Split Ends reunite for
the first time twenty years?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Would they go all the way back to the makeup days?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I hope so. Unfortunately you will have to go to
New Zealand for it. They're getting together to line a
music festival. I'm putting money on they will do makeup.
This would be so cool. I've always wanted to go
to NZ and to see Split Ends again would be everything,
wasn't it. It's the Electric Avenue Festival in christ Church.
It's happening late February. Tickets for it go on sale
(17:15):
tomorrow week Christmas.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
That was such a good band, such a good band.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
First band I ever saw her? Actually, oh really yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
The concert hall it was wow. Yeah. Sophie Turner from
Game of Thrones is the next Larakroft. It's been confirmed
Turner will take on the leading role in Prime Videos
adaptation of the famed tomb Raider video game video game
into a movie. I know another one. Phoebe Wallerbridge, who
gave us flea Bag and Killing Eve is being billed
(17:47):
as the series creator, writer, and executive producer.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Bit of a side step, isn't it just Ty?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
The series will start shooting in January. Michael Stipe has
finally put to rest a nearly four decade long struggle
to understand just what he's singing in rims It's the
end of the world as we know it. As fans no,
Michael fires off a string of verses that for years
could only be discerned in small portions at a time.
Although I do know someone who can sing it start
(18:13):
to finish whenever it comes on the radio. It's massively
impressive to witness.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
The only version I could understand was the Homer Simpson version.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Well it's funny. Arim rarely reprinted their lyrics in any form,
but over the past few days, Stipe clarified some of
the song's most misunderstood bits, and it began with the
Simpsons meme. In the meme, Homer Simpson claims he can
sing all the lyrics too, It's the end of the
world as we know it, only to be told no,
you can't, mister Simpson, No one can. Stipe shared the
(18:40):
image with a two word reply, I can. Then he
laid out two of the formerly unintelligible lyrics. First of all,
this one was to come in bringing down, So that's
left of Western coming in a hurry with the furious
breathing down your neck always.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
So what I still didn't understand.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I thought that was one of the more intelligible intelligible ones.
To be fair, Yeah, that's that's tough, not be going
to say intolgible. Then he did this one, reported fine,
So that's team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped.
Look at that low playing fine, I thought I heard
(19:22):
Trump in this Trump. In a nineteen ninety two interview,
Stipe said of the words in this said, the words
in this song come from everywhere. I'm extremely aware of
everything around me, whether I'm in a sleeping state, awake,
dream state, or just in day to day life. So
that ended up in the song, along with a lot
of stuff I'd seen when I was flipping TV channels.
(19:43):
He says, Ultimately, it is a collection of streams of consciousnesses.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Just but even John Lennon said I am the Warrist,
and they said what's about He said nothing, said nothing really.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
More of Lisa and Mussel's podcast It's.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
On the way soon.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Eight per flick when Ben, Good morning, Ben.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Good morning, guys. I've got a comedy to bring to
you today.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Ye good.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
We need all the Roses now. It's a remake of
the War of the Roses, which listeners of a certain
age will have fond memories of this film it came out.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I do a certain.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
All of this, all this where all of this come on,
Like the twenty five year olds don't have a clue
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I wasn't around when Beethoven was around, but I don't
know who it is.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
I think we're of a different generation.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Lease.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
I think I don't know if the current generation go
back like they look at the nineties as if it
was the sixties. You so back in nineteen eighty nine,
the War of the Roses came out. It had Michael Douglas,
Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner at the height of their powers.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I loved that movie. I saw it at a previous
I didn't knew nothing about it, so funny, knew nothing
about it and I came out of it. I just
loved it.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
So it's such a classic film directed by Dandydavita, who
was also in the film, and the three of them
had just come from doing Romancing The Start Jewel of
the Nile. This is sort of the third collaboration, and
they were just on song. It told a story of
this this this couple who fall in love head over heels,
get married. They seem to have the idyllic life, but
(21:18):
over time cracks start to appear, little resentment start to fester,
and then it just spirals into the you know, into
the most crazy kind of culmination.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
And it's sort of a satire in relationships and all
this kind of stuff. So you'd think a classic like
that is going to be pretty tough to remake. But
if you're going to do it, you got who you're
going to cast. Olivia Coleman and Benedict Cumberbatch, two of
Britain's great actors, two of the great actors of their generation.
Olivia Coleman's got an Academy Award, Benedict Cumberbatch he's got
(21:52):
two Oscar nominations. And so despite being best mates in
real life, they've actually never been on screen together. This
is the first time we've seen them in a movie,
and they play Benedict Coma. Batch plays Theo, a brilliant
architect who bumps into Ivy played by Olivia Coleman, who's
a brilliant chef. He goes into her restaurant one day.
They hit it off immediately fall head over heels, just
(22:15):
like in the original Move to America where they start
this beautiful life together. But because they're such incredible professionals
in their own field, there's this kind of constant tug
of war over okay, whose career is going to be
the dominant one. Initially it's Theo, the architect, because he's
got commission to build this kind of like dream project,
(22:35):
this museum, maritime museum. But when disaster strikes, he kind
of is forced to take a step back and let
Ivy take over as the bread winner of the household,
and she starts a restaurant which becomes very successful. And
so the resentments start to build, as you know, one
enjoys career success, the other one falls on hard times.
Because they're both very proud people, it doesn't sit so well.
(22:59):
The film is sort of like in the first film,
where Danny DeVito is the divorce lawyer, tells the whole
film in sort of a flashback form. This is a
bit similar. It starts off in couples therapy, where you've
got Benedict and Olivia on the couple's therapy couch and
the therapist that classic thing, just name one thing you
appreciate about, appreciate about the other person, and Benedict's sort
(23:20):
of deadpans well, I'd rather live with her than a wolf.
And then Olivia Coleman goes he has arms, and then
and then it starts. It starts to unfold a little
bit from there and he says her head is rather
pleasing when seen from a distance, and then she and
then she looks at him and says he smells like
(23:42):
an anchovy that's had a night out on the booze.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
And then there's then there's a sea bomb that's thrown
in there, and away they go. The dynamic between these
two is so hilarious. The film has been written by
the Australian playwright Tony McNamara, who wrote Poor Things, he
wrote The Favorite, He created The Great Great TV series
with Nicholas Holten Elf Fanning. So he's a two time
Oscar nominee. And it's directed by Jay Roach, the guy
(24:07):
who directed the Austin Powers franchise and Meet the Parents franchise.
There's a lot of you know, really really talented people
involved in the film.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
So how many marriage counseling sessions out of five do
you give this one?
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Well, I'm giving it four, although these two need a
lot more than four to figure out what's going on.
So yeah, four, this is this is a great one.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
So it's a lover of the original, I won't be disappointed.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
It's so different Danny character, I will say, is the
supporting cast really is not that fantastic. Like there's Andy
Samberger is in it, Kate McKinnon is in it, Nikoudi
Gatwar the new doctor who is in it. There's an
amazing cameo from Alison Janny in it who she can't
(24:50):
do anything, she is so good this So she's she's
the Danny DeVito lawyer. So they say, yeah, so she's.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
The Okay, So it's worth all It's worth the price
of admission. It's a special day.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Do you want to hear some amazing news? Because every
day is something something something, Well, today is international eat
an extra dessert day.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Who came up with that?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
If we must? What a day? To so extra dessert.
That means you can have the cheesecake, which is a given.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I love I know, and so do I and boring
the better.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I like a lemon flavor, but I don't like anything
added to it, just a lemon or vanilla cheesecake. But
so that means we get to have the cheesecake and
you can choose something else. What else are you choosing?
My god?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
See, I've gone so narrow now that it's just cheesecake
and Cheesecare can I have another serve of cheesecake?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You can absolutely have another serve of cheesecake.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
It I I'll get I'll get fancy, I'll have a doll.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Are you one of these people that you've because now
with everything online, you can check them menu before you
go to the restaurant. I always know what I'm having
before I get These days, I still like the element
of surprise.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Do you appointment?
Speaker 5 (26:15):
I like?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I like both. You see what the specials are when
you arrive, but invariably I've decided what I'm having before
I go. I'm actually I'm going to be in Melbourne
in the first week of October, and I was saying
too Susie this morning I can't wait to go to
my favorite restaurant in Akland Street and some Kilda. It's
an Italian restaurant called Chichilins. It's been there forever because
(26:37):
it's good because they used to live there in the
nineties and it was my favorite restaurant there still there,
So next minute I'm online checking the menu. I'm not
even there to October, but I wanted to see if
they still do the tira massoux because and so that
might probably would be my second dessert after the cheese.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
I do like it a good one.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
They do a wonderful tira massoux. And speaking of tiramissou,
Italy is looking for one hundred food lovers to become
official judges at the Tiramasoux World Cup. There is a
Tiramassoux World Cup, so.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
This is an actual official job.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
You will have to get to Italy.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Soon.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Just for anyone who doesn't realize, tira massou is silky
musca pony cream layered over coffee soaked lady fingerbiscuits and
with the espresso mixed with the sweetness of cocoa powder.
And it's just it's it's a I'm not normally Yeah,
I'm not normally a coffee in my dessert person. I
(27:39):
like my coffee with the desserts. But but Tira Massou
I will make the exception for so that one hundred
enthusiastic food is they need. They will be responsible for
tasting and rating each will.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
They go through like an interview process? Do I need
to update my LinkedIn profile? What do you make off?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
What do you have to do with its? Well, first
of all, you have to be free and able to
travel to Italy for October ten to twelve this year.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
SUSI.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Immediately narrow right down? Can we yeah to select the judges?
Candidates typically undergo a fifteen question test that assesses their
knowledge of the rules and probably of the ingredients of Urramasu.
Aspiring judges will have just one day to apply by
taking the test, and that one day is September thirteen,
(28:30):
Saturday week.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
So that's two trips to Italy.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Well, no, I think you can apply online. I'd probably
just googling Terramasoux World Cup if I was able too.
That the one perhaps person who wins Powerball tonight that
can do you know this? That's where you want to
go and participating as the judges is voluntary and you
won't receive any payment or reimbursement for getting there. He
(28:55):
thinks that most of those judges are going to come
from Italy, but.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
They made the.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Offer was made if you can, so there it is.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Today is officially.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
International Eat an Extra.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Dessert Day, So twos tonight for your life, knock yourself out.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Have the cranbrelet as well.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I don't mind, see there's I'd forgotten about that.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
The crack.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yes, if there's no crack, send it

Speaker 3 (00:18):
We discuss International Eat an Extra Dessert Day and the

Speaker 2 (00:23):
If We Must Bear. Noche reviews The Roses starring Olivia
Coleman and Benedett Cumberbatch.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Split Ends is Reuniting, and we opened the Book of Records,
and today look for Perth's oldest pet.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
And the lyrics of a famous Arim song have finally
been explained by singer Michael Stipe.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
He set another record, incredible world record Lisa and Russell's
Book of Records.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
We've never seen anything like it.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But we can't build it without no, we can't. And
today we are looking for w Way's oldest pet. So
I'll start my cat, Joey. She's twenty. My last cat,
scout named after scouting to kill a mockingbird, was also twenty,
So Joey is going for the record. That's not bad
(01:17):
at my house, but.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Next month. It's a long way to go.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
He's for and she's got a long way to go.
What you got got the oldest pet? Anyone got a
galapagus tourists in their back pond because those things can
live for two hundred years, So you would have inherited it,
I guess, yes, so a few generations down it has
been passed down. That's something old, something new, something borrowed,
(01:49):
something galapagos. But if you have we want to hear
from you. Are you talking about pets a bit? This week?
We've got we had the pet to tech there going
on at Susie's place, the pet de tech. It was
on to that. There will be more to come on that.
So we are looking for w Way's oldest pet.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yes, maybe a budgery cars.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
How long to that? I don't know. I don't know.
It's not going to be a goldfish.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Well, I've been through a couple of goldfish and that
it didn't end well, not for them.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
When you say you've been through a couple of goldfish,
was it, to all intents and purposes, the same goldfish
or was it really you know, a couple.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Of yeah goldfish? Yeah, well it was. That was the
kids to look after, but they were much younger back then.
And yeah, that in hindsight might have been a mistake,
especially for the goldfish.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Because like Janellen Ravenswood has, her beautiful quarter horse was
thirty four years old when she died earlier this year.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Thirty four. That's a good run.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
The inning and now. Fun fact because we were talking
about Galapaicus tortoises and if you had one it might
be two hundred years old. Alex and Sterling was just
letting us know on the text in nineteen ninety nine
he said, my brother was the zoo keeper for John Roberts,
and the Galapicus tortoise they had was collected by Charles
Darwin in the early eighteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Wow, So there we are.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I actually have someone who knew a galapagus.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Isn't it amazing that something can be that old?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, that's amazing. Credible doesn't count because it wasn't a pair.
But two what also doesn't count is please no pet rocks.
We know they are anything up to four billion years old. Yeah,
we know.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
What about a tabagotchi? If you've got a greenland shark.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Once again, this is just not that who has a
greenland shark.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Well, just in case you did, they can live to
be four hundred, four hundred years old.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
There you go, there's another you inherit.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
To be four hundred. Sophie and spear Wood. Hello, Hi there,
how are you going?
Speaker 5 (03:54):
You got so food? Well already I haven't passed the
thirty four year old. Who No, but my beautiful cat, Princess,
named by my five year old at the time, is
nearly twenty two.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Oh moving moving around a lot fifty.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Is she an in cat?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Well? She does go out? Yeah, not as much. Yeah,
she's deaf, as deaf as a post.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yea has she got the mice are safe at your places?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
She just can't be bothered. She's past that now.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Does she have a sorry Lisa, No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I was just gonna say, does she have a kitty
little trade?
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Yeah? She does, and it depends her mood what she
wants to do. She's got a window she can get out.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Because in and out my cat, who's twenty two years
younger than Princess Fiona, she's she's suddenly chosen to just
not use the kitty litter track. I think I'll just
get They'll just go in the corner of the kitchen
or something.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I can't make it, so I just find I have
to a reply. I have to change it all the time.
She's costing me a fortune and kip you okay.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
All right, sleep a lot, Okay, okay, thanks Sophie, twenty
two year old cat. That's that's old Andrew in Mululu.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, hi, yeah, I've got a that I got off
a mate about fifteen years ago. Years and when I
got it off old Tom, he's about seventy now. He
couldn't look after it anymore because he wasn't going up
to farm often enough. But it's a long bill, Corella.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
He had owned it for thirty five years. Wow, and
it wasn't a baby when he got it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Hang on, he'd had it for thirty five you've had
it for fifteen. It's fifty years old.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Well at least because there wasn't a baby when he
got it. He said he wasn't sure how it was
when he got it.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Could be as old as us.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It could be. It could have been born the same
year as me.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So it's just a young thing.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It still needs carbon dating. Well, my d I'm the same.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
My god, can't you can't you do it by counting
the rings?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
True?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Oh my god, I don't blame you, mate.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Fifty plus years old, long billed Corrella.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Doesn't everyone have one of those?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's going to be hard to beat in the book
a record.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Very hard. I think you're out in front of the moment, Andreik.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You are.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Really well. You get cranky is you get older?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Let's face it, cranky Corrella.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
This one, this one loves loves femals, but hates men,
absolutely hates men. Changes me if it ever gets out.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Okay, it's definitely like fifty bye. All right, that's that's
old at least fifty.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, that's a good innings.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's a that's a typical lady doesn't tell her.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Maybe it's a bit cranky that it's holding on so long.
It's enough and those applications coming in for the longest
lived pet.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yes, it's it's Book of Records day today and we
are looking for doubly Way's oldest pet. Brian in Ebleton

Speaker 2 (07:38):
They can apparently they can live to be over one hundred.
Looking for doub Way's oldest pet today, Kristin in Darling Downs,

Speaker 7 (07:55):
Good morning guy. So my cousins has my grandmother's turtle, Okay, Yeah,

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Old, eligible for a pension.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
I don't know what its original name was now I
can't remember, but called it. My cousins have called it Ninja,
after Ninja turtles.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Its name originally was probably Gerty or something like that,
something of its time.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It was before Donatello or any of those.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Exactly right. Oh, that's amazing. Christmas's old seventy two.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
And how's Donatello or Ninja or or Gerty. How they're
holding up after seventy plus years?
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Really well, it looks the same change.

He looks for he looks great and young. Good morning.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
Yeah, weekend off, so weekend, ready to jump back into it,
prepared as.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
He could be.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Got your NFL draft under control. That was last time
we spoke to you.
Speaker 10 (10:02):
It's nice that they could give me the week after.
So NFL drafts sorted. First games tomorrow, so I'm excited.
I'll be watching on but we've got bigger things on
the cards this weekend, So very exciting.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I've been swimming with the whales at later Yeah, really
preparing in.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
It's a good sign.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
That's physical and mental preparation.
Speaker 10 (10:23):
Exactly exactly what the weather's just been amazing, so it's
like it sort of feels like Finals time with the
weather at the moment, which is which is nice.
Speaker 9 (10:29):
So I've been out swimming the whales and enjoying my
weekend off.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That's what you've been doing. How about the team, how
have they been preparing differently?
Speaker 9 (10:37):
Well, that's a good question. I think everyone's enjoyed a
bit of time off. I know the boys.
Speaker 10 (10:41):
A few lads went across to Rottenness on the weekend
and enjoyed some of the weather over there and had lunch.
Speaker 9 (10:48):
But yeah, everyone's feeling really excited.
Speaker 10 (10:50):
It's sort of funny when you have a week off,
when you come back, there's no game to sort of review.
So the first half of the week's been pretty sharp,
which has been nice. I think that's refreshing. The season
can get quite monotonous at times, and it's been nice
to sort of refresh and come in And we trained
yesterday and had a really really sharp session and then
we'll train again today.
Speaker 9 (11:10):
So I mean, everyone's feeling really good.
Speaker 10 (11:12):
It's super excited, and one thing we have noticed is
that everyone in Frio is super excited about what's happening,
and a lot of people have been stopping us in
the street and saying good luck, and yeah, the excitement's building,
which is just great to say in the city of
Frios coming to life.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I haven't been down to Frio for a little while,
but have they got the streamers up like they used
to have them in all days?
Speaker 9 (11:31):
I think they're just keeping it, keeping it.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, just yeah, the first weekend titles, keeping it on it.
But surely the team is feeling confident because you go
in with you know, one twelve out of your last
fourteen games.
Speaker 10 (11:46):
Yeah, No, we are certainly feeling really good about our
foot at the moment, and I think we've got a
good look at what our best looks like. And obviously
when we don't get it right, sort of the contrast
to the Brisbane game and the Doggies game, both against
really quality opposition, and yeah, a lot of the things
that we did did right, we're pretty easy fixes. Really,
it was about doing it together as a team and
(12:07):
just executing a job, and we were able to do
that for longer against Bulldogs, and I mean that's the
blueprint going forward, and no matter who we vers, Gold
Coaster a really quality opposition and whoever we first going forward,
if we win, you know, it's just about doing it together,
which is in.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
This case it's the purple point.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
And having that week off and not having to travel
for your first final, that must be a real, a
real bonus.
Speaker 10 (12:31):
Yeah, definitely, that's one thing that after the Doggies game,
we were pretty happy that we sort of locked in
a home final, because, yeah, it's a big advantage in
any final, but particularly when we get to play in
front of our home crowd. It's sold out pretty much,
so we're going to have close to sixty thousand there,
which would just be absolutely amazing. And yeah, from memory,
(12:52):
the last time I played a final Adopts it was,
you know, one of my favorite games we've been a
part of, and it was by far the loudest game
I've been at, so super exciting.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, it is the Sun's first ever finals appearance. You
remember your first ever finals appearance and it was, as
you said, you played it at home. Can you imagine
how they're feeling coming in coming here and being their
first Can we can we use that we're going to
make them feel well.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
I don't think we'll make them feel welcome. I think
we've got to expect they're going to be pretty fired up. Yeah,
you know, they're they're a new cup like us, and
they're they're pretty excited bout the opportunity they've got ahead
of us as a way, and we're ready for their best,
and we think it's going to be a pretty fierce contest.
They're a team that's really strong in the contest and
that's where their games won and lost. So yeah, no,
(13:42):
we've got to expect their best, and we got to
expect them to be fired up. But we're certainly leaning
on a homegrown advantage and leaning into our crowd and
getting them involved.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Making them, make them feel.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Exact, let them take care of that one of them
and they will.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah, they will, they will. They're practicing at home all right.
One of the Sun's players, Noah Anderson. I know you
guys talked about it last week, but you guys are
pretty close, so you've come up through the system together.
How does it feel when you're quite you have quite
a close close relationship with a player under these circumstances,
(14:20):
all bets off. Would he be disappointed if you went easy?
Speaker 9 (14:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I think so.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
I think definitely.
Speaker 10 (14:29):
When you cross that white line, doesn't matter how close
your relationship is. It's footy and you just got to
right there compete, and at the end of the day,
end of the season, you know we're still mates and yeah,
that's all good. But I'm sure he'll want to win
just as much as I want to win, and that's
what's going to make it a great contest.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, regardless of what happens and how far Free are
go in the finals, this will be NAT five's final
game at OPTAs, so there is that to consider as
a lot final. Didn't he is the five final? Didn't
he give you a big finals message this week?
Speaker 7 (14:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (14:59):
Well he did. Yeah, Yeah, we on the weekend, so
not on the weekend.
Speaker 10 (15:02):
On Friday last week, we caught up as a group
in Freo and sort of just had a lunch together
and reflected on the season, and yeah, five he spoke
to the group a little bit.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
It was kind of like a little finals edition.
Speaker 10 (15:13):
Yeah, sort of speaking on his experiences in the past
and what he's sort of learned from finals and what
this moment sort of requires from us. And no, I mean,
whenever five he speaks, everyone listens, and he's always articulates
himself very well. And he had some great messages for us,
but I won't share them with you.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
No, that's okay, that's that's all yours. One thing we
would like you to share. One last thing. What do
you want from the crowd there on Saturday night? You
just want them to be loud, You want them to
be sea of purple. What do you want to see
and hear when you look up when you run out there?
Speaker 9 (15:48):
From last time, I remember it being deafening and it
felt like there was movement in the end.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Okay, I just remember you wanted to register on the yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:59):
Scale it is. I want to register.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
If if Opus had a roof, they'd want it blown off.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Okay, that is what we're asking for.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
All right, that's the.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Time and sixty thousand, Yeah, they can do it, can
be done.
Speaker 9 (16:09):
Yeah, I'm hoping for a record crowd. That would be amazing.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I think I think it's I think it's a very
very good chance.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I think it's a given. Well, we wish you all
the luck.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Really work better than a good chance.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, yeah, And we can't wait to see you next
week to talk about who you're going.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
To be playing with, which, yeah, very good teams.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
But let's take away one time.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
One week at a time.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Sorry, hang on forty cliche, thank you hated best luck.
On Saturdays, there's sure report on ninety six air FM.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
How would you like to see Split Ends reunite for
the first time twenty years?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Would they go all the way back to the makeup days?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I hope so. Unfortunately you will have to go to
New Zealand for it. They're getting together to line a
music festival. I'm putting money on they will do makeup.
This would be so cool. I've always wanted to go
to NZ and to see Split Ends again would be everything,
wasn't it. It's the Electric Avenue Festival in christ Church.
It's happening late February. Tickets for it go on sale
(17:15):
tomorrow week Christmas.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
That was such a good band, such a good band.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
First band I ever saw her? Actually, oh really yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
The concert hall it was wow. Yeah. Sophie Turner from
Game of Thrones is the next Larakroft. It's been confirmed
Turner will take on the leading role in Prime Videos
adaptation of the famed tomb Raider video game video game
into a movie. I know another one. Phoebe Wallerbridge, who
gave us flea Bag and Killing Eve is being billed
(17:47):
as the series creator, writer, and executive producer.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Bit of a side step, isn't it just Ty?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
The series will start shooting in January. Michael Stipe has
finally put to rest a nearly four decade long struggle
to understand just what he's singing in rims It's the
end of the world as we know it. As fans no,
Michael fires off a string of verses that for years
could only be discerned in small portions at a time.
Although I do know someone who can sing it start
(18:13):
to finish whenever it comes on the radio. It's massively
impressive to witness.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
The only version I could understand was the Homer Simpson version.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Well it's funny. Arim rarely reprinted their lyrics in any form,
but over the past few days, Stipe clarified some of
the song's most misunderstood bits, and it began with the
Simpsons meme. In the meme, Homer Simpson claims he can
sing all the lyrics too, It's the end of the
world as we know it, only to be told no,
you can't, mister Simpson, No one can. Stipe shared the
(18:40):
image with a two word reply, I can. Then he
laid out two of the formerly unintelligible lyrics. First of all,
this one was to come in bringing down, So that's
left of Western coming in a hurry with the furious
breathing down your neck always.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
So what I still didn't understand.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I thought that was one of the more intelligible intelligible ones.
To be fair, Yeah, that's that's tough, not be going
to say intolgible. Then he did this one, reported fine,
So that's team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped.
Look at that low playing fine, I thought I heard
(19:22):
Trump in this Trump. In a nineteen ninety two interview,
Stipe said of the words in this said, the words
in this song come from everywhere. I'm extremely aware of
everything around me, whether I'm in a sleeping state, awake,
dream state, or just in day to day life. So
that ended up in the song, along with a lot
of stuff I'd seen when I was flipping TV channels.
(19:43):
He says, Ultimately, it is a collection of streams of consciousnesses.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Just but even John Lennon said I am the Warrist,
and they said what's about He said nothing, said nothing really.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
More of Lisa and Mussel's podcast It's.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
On the way soon.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Eight per flick when Ben, Good morning, Ben.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Good morning, guys. I've got a comedy to bring to
you today.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Ye good.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
We need all the Roses now. It's a remake of
the War of the Roses, which listeners of a certain
age will have fond memories of this film it came out.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I do a certain.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
All of this, all this where all of this come on,
Like the twenty five year olds don't have a clue
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I wasn't around when Beethoven was around, but I don't
know who it is.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
I think we're of a different generation.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Lease.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
I think I don't know if the current generation go
back like they look at the nineties as if it
was the sixties. You so back in nineteen eighty nine,
the War of the Roses came out. It had Michael Douglas,
Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner at the height of their powers.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I loved that movie. I saw it at a previous
I didn't knew nothing about it, so funny, knew nothing
about it and I came out of it. I just
loved it.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
So it's such a classic film directed by Dandydavita, who
was also in the film, and the three of them
had just come from doing Romancing The Start Jewel of
the Nile. This is sort of the third collaboration, and
they were just on song. It told a story of
this this this couple who fall in love head over heels,
get married. They seem to have the idyllic life, but
(21:18):
over time cracks start to appear, little resentment start to fester,
and then it just spirals into the you know, into
the most crazy kind of culmination.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
And it's sort of a satire in relationships and all
this kind of stuff. So you'd think a classic like
that is going to be pretty tough to remake. But
if you're going to do it, you got who you're
going to cast. Olivia Coleman and Benedict Cumberbatch, two of
Britain's great actors, two of the great actors of their generation.
Olivia Coleman's got an Academy Award, Benedict Cumberbatch he's got
(21:52):
two Oscar nominations. And so despite being best mates in
real life, they've actually never been on screen together. This
is the first time we've seen them in a movie,
and they play Benedict Coma. Batch plays Theo, a brilliant
architect who bumps into Ivy played by Olivia Coleman, who's
a brilliant chef. He goes into her restaurant one day.
They hit it off immediately fall head over heels, just
(22:15):
like in the original Move to America where they start
this beautiful life together. But because they're such incredible professionals
in their own field, there's this kind of constant tug
of war over okay, whose career is going to be
the dominant one. Initially it's Theo, the architect, because he's
got commission to build this kind of like dream project,
(22:35):
this museum, maritime museum. But when disaster strikes, he kind
of is forced to take a step back and let
Ivy take over as the bread winner of the household,
and she starts a restaurant which becomes very successful. And
so the resentments start to build, as you know, one
enjoys career success, the other one falls on hard times.
Because they're both very proud people, it doesn't sit so well.
(22:59):
The film is sort of like in the first film,
where Danny DeVito is the divorce lawyer, tells the whole
film in sort of a flashback form. This is a
bit similar. It starts off in couples therapy, where you've
got Benedict and Olivia on the couple's therapy couch and
the therapist that classic thing, just name one thing you
appreciate about, appreciate about the other person, and Benedict's sort
(23:20):
of deadpans well, I'd rather live with her than a wolf.
And then Olivia Coleman goes he has arms, and then
and then it starts. It starts to unfold a little
bit from there and he says her head is rather
pleasing when seen from a distance, and then she and
then she looks at him and says he smells like
(23:42):
an anchovy that's had a night out on the booze.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
And then there's then there's a sea bomb that's thrown
in there, and away they go. The dynamic between these
two is so hilarious. The film has been written by
the Australian playwright Tony McNamara, who wrote Poor Things, he
wrote The Favorite, He created The Great Great TV series
with Nicholas Holten Elf Fanning. So he's a two time
Oscar nominee. And it's directed by Jay Roach, the guy
(24:07):
who directed the Austin Powers franchise and Meet the Parents franchise.
There's a lot of you know, really really talented people
involved in the film.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
So how many marriage counseling sessions out of five do
you give this one?
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Well, I'm giving it four, although these two need a
lot more than four to figure out what's going on.
So yeah, four, this is this is a great one.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
So it's a lover of the original, I won't be disappointed.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
It's so different Danny character, I will say, is the
supporting cast really is not that fantastic. Like there's Andy
Samberger is in it, Kate McKinnon is in it, Nikoudi
Gatwar the new doctor who is in it. There's an
amazing cameo from Alison Janny in it who she can't
(24:50):
do anything, she is so good this So she's she's
the Danny DeVito lawyer. So they say, yeah, so she's.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
The Okay, So it's worth all It's worth the price
of admission. It's a special day.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Do you want to hear some amazing news? Because every
day is something something something, Well, today is international eat
an extra dessert day.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Who came up with that?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
If we must? What a day? To so extra dessert.
That means you can have the cheesecake, which is a given.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I love I know, and so do I and boring
the better.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I like a lemon flavor, but I don't like anything
added to it, just a lemon or vanilla cheesecake. But
so that means we get to have the cheesecake and
you can choose something else. What else are you choosing?
My god?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
See, I've gone so narrow now that it's just cheesecake
and Cheesecare can I have another serve of cheesecake?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You can absolutely have another serve of cheesecake.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
It I I'll get I'll get fancy, I'll have a doll.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Are you one of these people that you've because now
with everything online, you can check them menu before you
go to the restaurant. I always know what I'm having
before I get These days, I still like the element
of surprise.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Do you appointment?
Speaker 5 (26:15):
I like?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I like both. You see what the specials are when
you arrive, but invariably I've decided what I'm having before
I go. I'm actually I'm going to be in Melbourne
in the first week of October, and I was saying
too Susie this morning I can't wait to go to
my favorite restaurant in Akland Street and some Kilda. It's
an Italian restaurant called Chichilins. It's been there forever because
(26:37):
it's good because they used to live there in the
nineties and it was my favorite restaurant there still there,
So next minute I'm online checking the menu. I'm not
even there to October, but I wanted to see if
they still do the tira massoux because and so that
might probably would be my second dessert after the cheese.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
I do like it a good one.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
They do a wonderful tira massoux. And speaking of tiramissou,
Italy is looking for one hundred food lovers to become
official judges at the Tiramasoux World Cup. There is a
Tiramassoux World Cup, so.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
This is an actual official job.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
You will have to get to Italy.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Soon.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Just for anyone who doesn't realize, tira massou is silky
musca pony cream layered over coffee soaked lady fingerbiscuits and
with the espresso mixed with the sweetness of cocoa powder.
And it's just it's it's a I'm not normally Yeah,
I'm not normally a coffee in my dessert person. I
(27:39):
like my coffee with the desserts. But but Tira Massou
I will make the exception for so that one hundred
enthusiastic food is they need. They will be responsible for
tasting and rating each will.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
They go through like an interview process? Do I need
to update my LinkedIn profile? What do you make off?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
What do you have to do with its? Well, first
of all, you have to be free and able to
travel to Italy for October ten to twelve this year.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
SUSI.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Immediately narrow right down? Can we yeah to select the judges?
Candidates typically undergo a fifteen question test that assesses their
knowledge of the rules and probably of the ingredients of Urramasu.
Aspiring judges will have just one day to apply by
taking the test, and that one day is September thirteen,
(28:30):
Saturday week.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
So that's two trips to Italy.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Well, no, I think you can apply online. I'd probably
just googling Terramasoux World Cup if I was able too.
That the one perhaps person who wins Powerball tonight that
can do you know this? That's where you want to
go and participating as the judges is voluntary and you
won't receive any payment or reimbursement for getting there. He
(28:55):
thinks that most of those judges are going to come
from Italy, but.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
They made the.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Offer was made if you can, so there it is.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Today is officially.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
International Eat an Extra.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Dessert Day, So twos tonight for your life, knock yourself out.

Yes, if there's no crack, send it
