so it wasn't it wasn't technically you but yeah, that's
picture of the scene. People right like that.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I but they they very kindly hooked me up with
a whole you know package, the whole kit, all the
clubs in the bag.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Now that helps.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
As we know, I have a very small car. It's
a two seater. Producer List was with me and she's like,
show me the boot and then she looked at the boots.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Had to take her own car. Sorry, Liz had to
take her own car.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
There's a dog bed and an umbrella in the boot
that's full. And then she said, well, can if they
go in the front seat on the floor, can you
push the seat back? I said, Liz, look behind you.
It is a two seater car. The car behind us
is behind us, so that's not happening. So I'm going
to call my golf bag miss Daisy, because I'm going

(02:42):
to have to sit it in the passenger seat. I'm
going to have to put the top down on the
car and buckle it in. And that's how we're going
to have to get daisy.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Are you going to wear a little cap when you drive?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
And so? And advisor? Actually, because that's that's what we
do in golf. Sorry, we we we wear a visor
and we wear a polo. Did you know there's actually
quite strict dress rules. Oh that's I quite like that.
I don't mind a dress code.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Checker pants are okay?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
You know what. I bought some checkered pants yesterday and
a couple of polos. We're away.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Ah, Lisa is wearing checked pants.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well, I told you I wasn't wearing a skirt when
I'm going to be bending over picking up balls. I mean,

Speaker 3 (03:51):
More get the eye in.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
We got to get that. And as you know, next
week is the break for although you're not going anywhere.
You're not going anywhere because you just arrived.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Was approved and mine was not.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I will be having next week off and then the
week after guess what, I've got jury duty. I remember
it happened to Clarcy. Now it's my turn and you
can't get out of this. So the week after we're
not too sure exactly what will be happening, but we're
playing it by ear and once all that business is

(04:27):
taken care of, me being inconvenience because some other person
broke the law, and then then we will get on
with the golf lessons with Jess.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Just try and get a few swings in. You know
where you can.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
In the in the courtroom, one of those little pussy.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
You can put a little plastic at the wall and
just sorry, you're up in the Hallway, just chipping that
yet they won't mind.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Someone will be putting from the rough in that courtroom,
but it won't be made.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
All right, Okay, so holiday jury duty, but after that,
I'm taking no more excuses, all right, no more.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
We are one month out from Rob Thomas visiting us
for the All Night Days tour. It's been a long
time since I've had one of those. And All Night
Day He's going to be at the Riverside Theater Friday
October twenty four and Saturday October twenty five. Tickets are
available through Ticketech. His new album All Night Days is
out now and he's with us this morning. Good morning, Rob.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
So can we just say that like we're a month
away from Rob Thomas Day, Rob.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Thomas Thomas, We absolutely can.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
I want to make it. I want to make it.
I want to make it a thing like.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, a celebration of all things Rob Thomas. I love it,
Rob Thomas, Festivus.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
It's everything and everybody gets a day Rob. Why shouldn't you.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
Exactly thank you? Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Went through to have you coming back. You seem to
enjoy coming to Australia just a bit.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
Yeah, Well, I mean it's been almost thirty years. You
guys have been really really nice and we've had I think,
a really great relationship together. You know, you guys have
been always kind of down for my brand of whatever.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, we get you, we do.

Speaker 5 (05:59):
Yeah, Yeah, that's what I feel.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah, we've been getting you for a very very long time.
So now we're up to the sixth solo album. You know,
there's Matchbox and then there's Rob solos, six of those
all night days. Does the album don't come from being
able to listen to it on a Saturday night as
well as as a Sunday day. It's an anytime album.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
Yeah. I think that every record I have has to
have your Saturday nights and your Sunday mornings, right, Like
you have to think that you feel great about and
then the things that you feel sad about.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
And is it also a little bit about yeah, up
all night because you know you are in the music biz.
Lisa might not still be up for staying up all night,
but I'm sure you are.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Well, I'm not normally, but then something about being on
the road makes you have to. And therefore I do
appreciate the fact that I get to do that.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, So did you start working on this album mid
COVID lockdowns.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
That's what we heard.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
Yeah, Like you know, originally in twenty twenty I was
going to make a solo record, and then the world
kind of shut down for a minute, and when twenty
twenty three Matchbox we decided to make a record, and
so some of these songs got put on hold. Some
of them were on the Matchbox record, some of the
Matchbox record wound up on this record. It just you know,
it was a whole process.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
The good thing is I know for a fact that
these are the best songs that I have because I
didn't just put them out immediately, like I got to
sit on them for a minute. Like you know, by
the time I put this out, I was so glad
for you guys to hear it. Like I was like,
you guys like this right, You guys like it right
right right?

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Because obviously you know you've written stuff for the band,
you've not now you're up to the sixth solo album.
Does inspiration still come to you easily from new material?

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Yeah? I think so, because, like I said, I write
all the time, and I don't try to write a
record to try to define me. I just write records
defining the moment that I'm in, and my moment is
probably a lot like what you guys are going through.
So like I could write a song about a moment
that I'm going through, but that moment is something that
you guys understand, you know what I mean, Like I
write about it, maybe I'm getting older, or maybe I'm

(07:53):
writing about a fight that I just had with my wife,
but like we all understand how that moment makes you feel. Yeah,
And so those moments come easily. So I think when
you don't try and write for an artist and you
just try and write for a person, it's way easier
and people relate to them a lot more.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, that's I mean, that's the thing. I wouldn't even
have one good song in me, So it's nice when
someone can write.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Everybody trying, everyone's I mean whether it's a good song
is another matter, but everyone's got a song.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
I'm like, I'm listen, I'm a i'm a i'm a
I'm a lover of songs. Right, So you know that
moment where you have a song that just for some
reason you love it because it explains how you feel
in a way that you couldn't say it oh.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
All the time. Well that's what I mean.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
It's last have someone writ.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, yeah, totally tell us about the shows at the riverside.
Who's coming with you?

Speaker 5 (08:44):
So each place that I go in Australia, were taking
a different artist from that local place, I think. And
then with you know, with my Soco band, it's been
this band that I'm in. It I've been with for
twenty years, so it's not like a just a hired band.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
And it's also my son is the guitar player in
the band, So it's like it's it's family and it's
joy and it's fun. So like our thing is when
we come to see you, we don't play music for
you guys. We want you guys to be a part
of this night that we're all curating, you know, I mean,
because it's like we only get so many of these
nights and it's our night too, and we want everyone
to have a great time.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Does the mouth off at you because you know your dad?

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (09:19):
No, because I'm also his boss.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Now I believe your manager also managed David Bowie and
George Michael. And is it true that your last memory
of George is watching Avatar with him in Australia.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah, in Sydney. Yeah, he was there for his tour
and I was just finishing my tour. Yeah, so him
and I went to go see Avatar together, and then
my last memory was actually him and I an elevator
fighting about Avatar.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Ought whether it was a good movie or not.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Yeah, yeah, he did not like it. I thought it
was really good. Different but you know it's funny my wife,
and my wife reminded to me, like him and I
that was kind of our thing. We always talked about music,
and we always we disagreed on everything. Like my favorite
album was Pink Floyd the Wall, and he thought it
was ship. No. No, it's a great record.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
It is one of the greatest things of all time.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yeah, especially if you're my age and like doing drugs
listening to it. It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
It was built for it, it was wait for it.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Absolutely So.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Do you remember the very first time you heard yourself
on the radio? How did it feel?

Speaker 5 (10:26):
I do, because it was like one of those moments
you would expect, Like we were in the van and trailer, yeah,
driving you know, like to the like across the country
in America to get to like our next gig and
we were moving into Dallas and we we were listening
to a seat a tape cassette at the time. I
don't know if you if you kids know what a
cassette is.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Along the freeway, don't you worry.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
So we ejected the cassette and the second that we did,
our song came on. I remember like we were like
we saw like Dallas over there, and we were like
we had that moment where you know, hands and we
just felt we felt like we had made it. And
then by the way, that song later on did not
do well and we almost got dropped. Thank care, felt
like we were giant.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
It would it would all.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Thanks all thanks to a dodgy casine. We love it.

Speaker 2 (11:16):

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Bye, more Lisa, more Russell More podcast soon, he said,
another record, incredible world record, Lisa and Russell's folk of records.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
We've never seen anything like him.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
I'll be very interested to see how we go with
this one, because going in, I'm expecting to be blown
away with some of the numbers that we're about to ask.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
I expect we will be. I wonder what will you know?
What makes it? Whether it's age based, whether it's demo,
you know, demogra interesting.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
So let's set the scene here that the chapter. The
title of this chapter is who has the most photos
on their phone? Now you would have said maybe demographic glasses.
You'll start hang on, hang on my glass.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
That tells you how what demographic I'm in? How now,
young people, young producers, how do I tell how many photos?

Speaker 6 (12:46):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Hang on your photo app and it should have it
up the top. Look while you work that out.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Five and seventy seven you're kidding, Yeah, but they're all
in the cloud, they're up in the they're up in
the sky.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Well, on my phone, I have three thound, five hundred
and thirteen. Now you talk about the generation gap, I
asked my daughter last night, who's sixteen. I said, how
many have you know? You'd expect there to be heaps,
wouldn't you? She only had nine hundred and forty nine. Wow,
So Dad's got thousands more than she's got.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
So well. What I don't understand, though, come on, give
me is when is why?

Speaker 5 (13:24):
Why?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
They disappear and go up to the cloud and I
can't find a photo that I'm looking for? What's that about?

Speaker 3 (13:29):
I've got Google Photos. Everything sits on Google.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Phe Now we've got Ai changing gay couples straight, and
yet we can't get that.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Get least phone to it.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
What's why? Why?

Speaker 3 (13:40):
So I've got three thousand, five hundred and thirteen. My
daughter's got nine hundred and forty nine, which I find
absolutely staying. My son has none because you have his
phone out in the rain, when.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
He has got fourteen, two hundred and thirty three mainly
cats and screenshots of memes. Same Liz has, Oh, Liz
has twenty three thousand, seven hundred and ninety seven. Liz,
are they all of guinea pigs? There's a lot of
guinea pigs.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Obviously there's a heavy emphasis on guinea pigs. Why did
you write it there because there's there's a lot of gudea,
a lot of guinea pigs.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
See, yeah, that's just that's in my phone. But most
of them have gone somewhere else. I understand. I don't
get it.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
This is a record that's up for grabs, and would
be really interested to know what kind of photos you have.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
I mean, I don't take a lot of photos, and.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Some people are really bad at deleting the photos that
they don't want. Because I actually do that on a
regular basis too. I go back and I go, well,
I've got four shots of the same thing, and some
of them you have what they call photo burst, where
you can just press the camera and it'll go for
a second. It'll take the whole ton of phoes and
you just pick the one that works.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
A lot of photos of my great nieces because they're
I mean, look how cute they are. When'd you have
photos to keep?

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Seven? Then? Would now? Six thousand and five hundred and
forty five from Kathy and Langford. That's impressive. That's only
three thousand more than me. I think you can do
better than.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
That case and seventy seven not really, that's rather underwhelming.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
I'm more staggered to the fact that you don't know
where they've all gone.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
They're in the cloud.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Where's the cloud? Lisa in the sky? I just stepped
out to get a drink. Peter in our sales department
just yelled out across the room twenty seven thousand plus.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
But why do your photos all stay there and mind
disappear up into the cloud.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Maybe it's all in your configurations. You need to you
need to talk to a technical person.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Tell you what we're getting a lot of tech.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
We're almost crashing the text shine and the phone lines
are full. Everyone's willing to fess up on how many photos.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Sharon in Woodvale has thirty nine thousands, seven hundred and
eighty seven.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Anonymous has over thirty one thousand, and declares, I think
I have a problem.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yes there's another thirty seven thousand, hang on, hang on,
what do we got here? Sixty thousand, eight hundred and
thirty seven items And that is from Michelle in Northern.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Kim of San Marimo, nearly forty six thousand. A lot
of holiday snaps. You know, you don't have to keep
them all.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Just the best ones, that's right, just the best ones.
There You go anyway, let's go to tapping and flow. Hello, Flow, Hello, Flow.
How you doing?

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Oh we're good.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
What do you got?

Speaker 3 (16:41):
How's your phone hanging?

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Actually feels so bad now to hear in all these numbers,
But I have twenty thousand, three hundred and sixty's what
what of.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
Majority training videos? A few puppies, a few sunsets, and
let's not forget the kids in the family, of.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Course, what sort of training videos are we talking?

Speaker 5 (17:03):
I actually do a child wrong.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Man as a strong man? Yeah, oh wow, oh goodness,
and pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
And puppies and sunsets. That's quite a variety you've got
on your phone.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Puppies at sunset, Yeah, I've got puppies at sunset.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Being held by a strong man.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yeah that just sounds rude.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Now take your fly, Oh, well done.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
That's a reasonable amount. That's based on what I'm seeing.
I mean, Michelle sixty, that's a lot to clean up.
Kate and Quinn's rocks. What do you got a morning.

Speaker 7 (17:39):
Forty two, eight hundred and eighty, and what are they?

Speaker 2 (17:43):
I'm pretty sure there's.

Speaker 7 (17:44):
More on a phone, an old phone somewhere as well.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yes, that's what I reckon.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
They're not all the same there's so many photos on
her phone, it's it's breaking up the signal. We can
hardly hear.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Kate, what are they of? Mostly probably most of my
children when they Yes, but I do that thing where
you take like ten photos to begin with and then
I don't go back to them.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yes, that's the trick, you know. You know. They do
have the duplication feature on there too, where it'll clean
out any duplication duplicate photos. So that's a good way. Yeah,
that's a good way to get you your photo numbers down. Okay,
so all of your kids? Yeah, So I mean this
is going to be one of.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
The most back looking for a photo.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Must be hell, be a nightmare. They must be one
of the most documented generations in history.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Oh absolutely, I should go through, but now it's too overwhelming. Yes,
that's some of them are going to be lost forever. Okay,
thanks Kate.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
That's a good number, Thank you, Kate. All right, so
they are impressive numbers. So what are we up to?
Sixty thousand, six.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
And thirty seven, Michelle in Northern that's the number to beat.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
I'm thinking that's a phone with quite a bit of
memory on.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
It, I think, So what we got here, we got
we got so oh, your storage is full. Any new
or pending photos will not be synced. That's that's attached
to the photo of someone who's got thirty six, four
hundred and eighty one items.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yes, they have cleanup services on the phone, so you
give them a go clean up, get rid of the duplicates,
and then you can you can jam more photos on there. Well,
some of these numbers that are coming through for hour
are staggering. Are staggering.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
I mean you must, you must be taking photos all
day long. We've opened up the book of records, and
who has the most photos in their phone? It's the
record we're looking for today. Who's going to join a
Steve of Orange Grove, who was last week's record holder
for having a sixty two thousand dollars tax bill. The
category was who copped the biggest fine? Well, me set

(20:00):
the tone with Eliza, who says, I have sixty one
hundred and eighty photos. Is a lot of Eliza, it's
a fair amount.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
But resent to okay, tell us Ian, Okay, tell us
what he is Ian of Quinn's Rocks, and he's got
a photos. Obviously he set us a photo.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah, communicates.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
I have one hundred and seventy eight thousand, two hundred
and seventy one photographs of what have you been taking
photos since nineteen o eight? I mean that is just insane.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
I think it's safe to say Ian is his carrote
to beat.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
He's the wonder beat. Can you beat him?

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Susan in Marie, Good morning, Good morning. Oh hello, Susan.
How many of you got in your phone? I have?

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Oh it's gone off, hold on, it's caught up, it's
gone up. I hear it is sixty one and fifty
three items.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
That's that is impressive. What you've got photos of everyone?

Speaker 7 (21:09):
Everyone?

Speaker 2 (21:09):

We do have one person with more than Susan. We
just mentioned before, Ian in Quinn's Rocks has one hundred
and seventy eight thousand, two hundred and seventy one. He
is not making it up. He sent us the screenshot
of his phone.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
And we needed to verify this. We needed to get
him on the phone and find out how the heck
you accumulate one hundred and seventy eight thousand last photos?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Can you put your phone down for one moment to
talk to us? Put it down, step away from the phone,
knowing on your count, step away from the phone you're
talking on it, take your finger off the photo button
for one second. How on earth did you accumulate this
many photos?

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Well?

Speaker 7 (22:44):
Unfortunate the number I gave you no longer accurate because
I've just checked him even more than there.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
All right, tell us how many we got it? No,
I'm not judging you, but we need the exact number.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
What have you got summer?

Speaker 7 (22:57):
Well, there was another three have gone on there before.
I've got no idea whether or from. We've got two
children who are now teenagers. Yes, dogs, that's now eight yes,
So there's and a grandchild who's now two months. My

(23:18):
wife just seems to be addicted to Whenever she sees something,
she'll take ten twenty pictures of it.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
What it does? It grows? What are there more photos
of the grandchild or the dog?

Speaker 7 (23:34):
I'm going to say the children?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
You didn't have to think about it.

Speaker 7 (23:40):
Yeah, I think at the moment, children followed by dogs.
They're followed by grandchild. But grandchild I'm sure will start.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
They'll sarge your head. They're only two months old.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
Ian. Is it time to step in, do you think
and take control of the situation? No?

Speaker 7 (23:56):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (23:56):
As long as this story.

Speaker 7 (23:58):
I've had to pay exits to get more terribyt Oh.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
My god, we're into terrorbytes.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
It's called an ianvite.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Actually, oh, it's okay, And you know what.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
It secures your spot in Lisa and Russell's Book of Records.
With one hundred and seventy eight thousand, two hundred and
seventy four photos in their phone.

Speaker 7 (24:30):
It's probably increased by now you've.

Speaker 2 (24:33):

Speaker 2 (24:41):
We won't do that. Congratulations, the winner.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
That is impressive. It sounds he sounds exhausted, Yes, well elated,
he's also defeated.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
That's Oh, that's another page in the book of records.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Over one hundred and seventy eight thousand photos on your phone. Yeah,
that's much.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
You're trying to find a specific.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
One you'd have to catch. I hope that can.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
I can't find a specific one in monkst my five
hundred and seventy seven.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah. More more of Lisa and Mussel's podcast. It's on
the way soon. There's sure report on ninety six AIRM.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Much talked about search for the next James Bond might
finally be approaching some sort of resolution or revelation, hopefully.
OSCAR nominated director Dennis Villeneuve. Whenever I hear his name,
I think that the little guy with the Blade pasta
Blade has revealed his plans for James Bond film number

(25:42):
twenty six. The casting process will begin next year and
we're almost there as soon as Villaineru wraps up production
of June Part three, and he's confirmed they're looking for
a fresh face, quote unquote, an unknown younger actor in
his late twenties or early thirties who Hails from Britain,
puts the fan favorite picks like Idris Elba and Henry

(26:05):
Kevill Henry Cavell out of the running. The Next Chance
Bond film is expected to premiere in twenty twenty eight,
with filming set for twenty twenty seven. Jimmy Kimmel was
greeted with a standing ovation upon his visibly emotional return
to his late night show last night, as he thanked
those who'd stood up for him and stood by him.
As you know, Kimmel was taken off their last week
due to comments related to the shooting of Charlie Kirk.

(26:27):
He walked out to the ovation saying, I'm not sure
who had a weird of forty eight hours, me or
the CEO of Dylan Ol.

Speaker 8 (26:34):
I've been hearing a lot about what I need to
say and do tonight, and the truth is, I don't
think what I have to say is.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Going to make much of a difference.

Speaker 8 (26:41):
If you like me, like me, if you don't, you don't.
I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind, but I
do want to make something clear because it's important to
me as a human, and that is you understand that
it was never my intention to make light of the
murder of a young man.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Quite action had a fair bit to say. Of course,
he went on to remind people that on the day
the shooting happened, he was one of the first people
to go online and you know, send his condolences to
the family and say could we please stop killing each
other anyway? Now, today's what's AI getting used for? Story?
China just used AI to turn a gay couple straight

(27:24):
in the Dave Yes in the Days please explain, I
will in the Dave Franco and Alison Bree horror film
which is called Together and is on now. Homosexuality is
decriminalized in China, but same sex relationships are not legally recognized.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
And they don't like it on the big screen.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Well they do not, so they used AI to turn
a man's face into a woman's face to show a
gay couple as heterosexual before the film could be shown there.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
The c CC please will.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Manipulate everything and have a listen to this. This headline
is so indicative of the times we live in. Door
dash driver uncovers hostage situation. A Texas door dash driver
reported a suspicious order to police, leading to the discovery
of the hostage situation that was taking place at a
motel in Sweetwater, Texas. The door dash driver told police

(28:21):
he just received a delivery order for rubbish bags, zip ties, bleach,
and a hatchet. Police arrived at the motel. Door dash,
I think, guys the door dasher talking about I get
like let a door dash, I get everything.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Door doastack. Lucky that door dash person had seen enough
of those kind of movies to know that, hey, this
is that's a kid.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Police arrived at the motel to find an armed man
barricading himself inside a room with a hostage. The hostage
managed to escape to safety. A crisis negotiator arrived and
negotiated the man's peaceful surrender, probably with Sam Uberrites or something,
and then he was arrested on charges of aggravated kidnapping
and drug charges. Door desk, Wow, I want rubbish bag,

(29:07):
zip tires, bleach and a hatchet.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
They will deliver anything and everything.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
What great the flick with Beno Good morning, Good morning guys.
I've got one for all the film nerds out there.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Oh well, I did like the look of the trailer.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
This is a film nerd, Yeah, exactly a list.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
This is going to be right up your alley. So
from director Paul Thomas Anderson, who you know, known better
to his friends as PTA. That's what all the cool
kids call him, so ptaight. He of course is an
autur director who really kicked off his career in great
fashion with Boogie Knights and then has given us films

(29:51):
like There Will Be Blood, which is considered one of
the greatest films of the twenty first century. More recently,
Licorice Pizza and Anthem Thread. Both of those films were
nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. So he
is in the absolute upper echelon of directors in Hollywood.
So every time he's got a new film coming out,

(30:12):
people are very excited to see what he's going to do.
It's kind of like, you know, like if the Tarantino
who's got a new film coming out, it's just one
of those movies that you circle in the calendar as
this is going to be interesting. And so his latest
film sees him team up with Leonardo DiCaprio for the
first time one battle after another. But I will say
right off the bat that timing is everything, and I think,

(30:35):
unfortunately for Pta, is timing this time around is just terrible.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
So well, so the film kicks off, like you realize
straight away what I'm talking about. So the opening scene
in the film is a group of radical left activists
in America doing an armed raid on an ice facility.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Oh almost down to the day.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Oh yeah, not great, not great at all. So you know,
it's like every now and then you see this happen
where there might be a film about like a plane
getting hijacked and then there's you know, some sort of
plane crash, or a movie about a shark and then
there's a fatal shark attack, or a movie about a
bushfire and then there's a devastating bushfire. Like these things,

(31:22):
these there's sometimes this timing lines up, and it's always
a terrible coincidence for the filmmakers, and you know, people
impacted by these real life situations. And so unfortunately for Pta,
that's kind of what the environment in which this film
is going to land. And it's a bit unfortunate. And
he wrote it obviously years ago, and the films take

(31:43):
a long time to make. And so after this this
initial sequence where there's this raid on this immigration detention
facility in America, Leonardo DiCaprio's character past plays like a
sort of a demolitions expert, and he's he's in love
with the sort of the lead of the revolutionaries, whose

(32:04):
name is Pa Fidia, and she's this kind of like
really strong African American character who has this weird kind
of sexual tension moment with the commanding officer of the
detention center played by Sean Penn, which is kind of
it's kind of a bit odd at the time, but
it really sets a train of events in motion that

(32:25):
carries throughout the whole film, where you end up with
this sort of weird love triangle between Leo and Pa Fidia,
and then Sean Penn's character, who's a really kind of
like uptight military man but has this kind of obsession
with this with this revolutionary, and then the film fast
forwards sixteen years into the future when the female character

(32:50):
as kind of like off the agenda and it's just
Leonardo DiCaprio's pat is trying to raise a teenage daughter,
and then all of a sudden realizes that this guy
from the past, this military dude, is coming after them,
and he's relentless and he's going to stop at nothing
until he captures Leo and his team. Daughter played by

(33:11):
newcomer Chase Infinity in her first movie role. She's going
to be a superstar. I can tell you that inanity.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yeah, what a name, right.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
It sounds exciting the movie, yes, and so the film
kind of goes from there. I would say the positives.
It's incredibly well directed. The score is amazing, like the
music and the choice of music in this film is
just as good as anything you'll ever see in a film.

(33:39):
And there are some sequences that cinematically are certain to
be iconic and certainly will be studied in film schools
for the next twenty years. There's a car chase sequence
that is one of the best that I've ever seen
captured on film. And so there's a lot.

Speaker 5 (33:56):
Of really really good things about it.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
Oh well, it's it's so much. It's not so much
because it's you know, this sort of breakneck action. It's
just so cleverly done using the landscape of the desert
that you're watch it. You go, wow, that's just so clever.
But the negatives. Sean Penn's character is, you know, he
looks like he's having the time of his life, and

(34:19):
he's obviously a two time Oscar winner, but it gets
a little bit cartoonish, and I think the film, as
I mentioned before, the timing the film suffers because you know,
when Pta was writing this, which is kind of loosely
adapted from a Thomas Pinchon novel from nineteen ninety, which
was sort of set in the Reagan era in nineteen eighties,
this is kind of set in our modern time. So

(34:41):
when Pta wrote this film, he kind of conceived it
as romanticizing the radical left and ridiculing the conservative politicians.
So he kind of deliberately makes them look so stupid.
And unfortunately that joke is just not very funny.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
At the moment because you know, it's not really hell,
it's not no no, like when when Pta came up
with this, you know, it just it just has an
age well because you look at what's happening in America right.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
Now, and who's laughing?

Speaker 3 (35:12):
Who's laughing at the laughing? Timing is everything? Isn't it all?

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Right? Well? How many? And it also has Benincio del
Toro's in of course.

Speaker 4 (35:21):
He's amazing as always, he plays he plays real quick.
Vancio Toro plays the karate instructor of Leonardo DiCaprio's daughter,
and Leo calls him sense all the time. It gets
him broke in because it wrote him into the action.
You can use that is perfect.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
It looks like classic Vincio.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
Oh yeah, he is. He is the best. He's the
best in this.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
So what do you give it.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
I'm going to give it. I'm going to give it
four styles.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
This will get all the nominations.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
It's an extremely well good movie, extremely extremely well made movie.
Pen lines by the timing, but yeah, amazing.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
So separate yourself from that and enjoy it. Okay, thank you, Ben,
Thanks Ben, love it, thank you.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
All right, all right, there's your weekend viewing. Sorded well,
certainly for you, Lisa. Being a film nude from one
battle after another looks good. It sounds like all our
