A restaurant in Denmark, and in sort of collaboration with
two space exploration companies, are offering a gourmet dinner in
outer space, Oh, for what they say is the discount
price of four hundred and ninety five thousand dollars per person.

know what was going on.

meal worth the bill?

The most much ben on meals. I was lucky enough
to be picked out of the lottery that went forward
a few years ago when Heston Blumenthal bought his restaurant
out from England to Australia and I picked up a
lottery for that for four of us to go to
it in Melbourne and all up basically the meal about
(06:24):
two and a half thousand dollars if you include flight
and accommodation. There wasn't much change out of about four
probably four and a half grand.

Hard to come back and just have a tune of
mor Now, isn't it a sandwich?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Thanks Matt? What a ripper. There's a lot of money,
but worth it for a trip, That's what it's all.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Well, when it's a culinary adventure like that, I want
to try soup where one half my mouth toop, one half.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Call we're going to We're going to arrange that. I've
got a cup of soup out there.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
You can say you'll punch me and one half will
be numb.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I would never do that.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
My face will be numbs so I can't taste the
soup on that site.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Never.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I would never encourage that kind of behavior. By the way,
that was just a joking joke.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Cameron in Dayton, What is the most you've paid for
a meal?
Speaker 9 (07:47):
I need actually a coffee in London?
Speaker 10 (07:51):

to small Coffee Jo and paid eleven pounds each or
a cup of.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Coffee camera, oh my god, twenty two.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
Dollars each for a cup of coffee coffee shop. Well
and the worst, the worst thing about it, the long
black came without a handle.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
It was, oh my god, and you were expected to
burn your fingers for the luxury of paying twenty two
dollars exactly good heavens, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
It wasn't wade the world is actually enjoyed.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, makes it hard to stay calm and carry on,
doesn't a cameeron? That's a lot of money for twenty
two dollars.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I'd want someone wearing gold leaf gloves holding that to
my mouth and gently tipping it back.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Everything but drink it for well and.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Then patching my lip with a one more than that.

And as you know, it would be just help for
doing it.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Thank you Cameron, Yes, it would be, it would be,
thanks Cameron, Well well done. I believe Cameron couldn't pay
his house off pay for coffees.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Twenty two marks. I hope it came with a little
short breath.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That was the thing was pounds as well was it's
nearly forty bikes. I bet it didn't come with a
little business. No, we didn't. Yeah, wow, I've also noticed
how you clearly we've id elbow into everything.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
It's a skill, Yeah, it's a habit. It's born over
a lifetime. Oh, Text Perkins is a bit safer. You
taste after ridges.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I need to put it so threateningly. Yes, I do
all my loving from Afar. Oh no, that sounds even weird, Yeah, creepy.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, we digress.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
We're talking about expensive meals. The most paid for a meal,
Barry and ball Divers. What did you pay?
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Just over sixteen hundred dollars?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Marry? What were you thinking? Where? Why?
Speaker 11 (09:44):
How?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Please explain?
Speaker 12 (09:45):
For my wife's fiftieth birthday, we had a family dinner
up at the Crown, at the.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
French restaurant all Love that did everything special.
Speaker 12 (09:54):
Got a private room and a dining area, but you
had to have a minimum spend for it, which was
seen hundred dollars. Yeah, we had a meal on that
and then set up the bill or one hundred and
so dollars short of the sixteen hundred dollars, right, yep.
So we went down and listened and there was a
whiskey for one hundred and forty dollars for a shot,
(10:14):
so we said, okay, one of those shaded amongst three
of us.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Two give the number of its split.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
One hundred and forty dollars shot.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I love I love that. Yeah, very clever, very light lighten.
The meal.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Couldn't fit in the second dessert.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
No, should have just said, Gamber, bring me more.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
But the.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Thanks Baddy, Thanks, Barry Dean and Lynn Wood. Hello.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
We were in America and in New York and the
first time we went for a walk, my son insisted
on buying a hot dog.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Dog.
Speaker 10 (10:51):
Yeah, four hot dogs, four pretzels, which are the worst
we've ever had anything.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
Yeah, and then four drakes later.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
The guy said that eighty five dollars anyway, Yeah, eighty
five bucks I had. I had the cash, yeah, money,
and he had the gold. What about a tip?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Oh yeah, I think I've.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
Already I think I've already given you one.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
He did not get one from me. None of us
had a hot dog except my son. Yeah, there's no way.
I think it took advantage of an Australian.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, quite possibly. Yeah, they don't like it when we
don't tip and it's well over one hundred bucks, isn't
it In Australian wondered what.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yeah, well, yeah, big soft pretzels even the best.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yea, they're pretty great. No, well I tried one in
New York. They're not great. I can't how long they've
been hanging on the little van where they sell them from.
Thanks to its big and salty and horrible. Yeah, thanks
about all the best make seymour Than made me think
of yesterday when we were doing the Tragic Music Box
and I said, at the end of the Monday Rock
(11:59):
gig it was supported by kids in the kitchen. I'd
be heading up the road up Milligan Street to fast Eddies,
and you'd be heading down Wellington Street up to Scott
Carn skulking Scott car it's in the kitchen and Scott Carn.
I would imagine one of those people was happy when
Hunter's a Collective came along a decade later, because then
he started started following Mark.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Look, I know what to say. I've been a stalker
at times.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
You don't have to because I'm here, but but.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I've taken my love of music and musicians very seriously
morning text. He knows, I mean we we go together
for the renewal of the restraining order.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Absolutely, that's joke. Sorry, how funny you say that? Because
I'm seeing my boys loves me? He does. He sent
you a T shirt to post it, sign poster as well.
Don't stop following me. Actually that might use that court.
I'm catching up on by boy today who works not
far from your place, letting you know. I'm just letting
(13:00):
you know I'm in the area.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
If the bin's beIN apted, can you bring it back here?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Had the bin? I just in case you feel yourself
getting a little excited. You know, I'm close, you know
what I mean. I'm taking this then.
Speaker 12 (13:14):
More Cley, more Lisa, more podcasts soon.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Jag and Square. It is such a great spot, and
yet the truth is it's been it's been a real thing,
trying to get something that set is settled, trying to
get it right here.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Trying to get it right.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And we're back having another go and the Minister for Planning,
John Kerry is joining us this morning.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Good morning, John, Welcome John.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Hi guys, So our new redevelopment for Yagan Square has
been announced.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Tell us what's set to happen?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
So, look, I think we all know, it just didn't work.
And the reality is these people just walked by. So
we're reworking at the Nocturnal Crew, if you know, they're
the people behind both it and the old Synagogue in Fremantle.
The complete revamp, complete revamp with eleven bars, three restaurants.
(14:12):
But the best thing is going to be a live
music venue, which, as you probably know, we critically need
in Perth.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Yeah, to be fair, I never walked past it because
he's in smoke.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants. So do
you think this is is the live venue? Is the
going to be maybe the key point of difference this
time around?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I do.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Look, I think, and you know it's who's running it.
Those guys have got the runs on the board. But
the other thing you've got to remember is that there
will be ECU campus across right across, and that's going
to have eight to ten thousand students.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
So I think that.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Plus this really renewal of and it's called Stories, it's
you know, it's got incredible war murals inside. They're really
going for something special and I think both of those
are going to bring a lot more people into a
part which I think we all have to acknowledge. Let's
just call it for what it is, the dead zone.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
OUs see the cues at Old Senegog have gone down
Free Away and now John and it's a huge hit
and these people have got their runs on the board.
But when you think about Ygen, it was just more
and more demoralizing for people as these venues started shutting
down one by one. What about the antisocial behavior that
we see there at times? What's the plan there?
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Yeah, look, that's a good question.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I'd say two things. First of all, you might have
noticed we have put a twenty four hour police mobile facility.
It's a mobile facility, but it's permanently there, so that's
what police run their operations out of in the city.
But the other thing is people is the answer. As
you know, you go to any city around the world
where there is plenty of people on the street, that's
(15:48):
where it feels safe, vibrant. That we can get more
people in there. It will also address the safety issues.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
It's a chicken in an ex situation, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
But you know, really the Edith at Cowan University campus,
that's going to be an utter game changer for that
whole you know, feeling alive and on the streets and
everything factor.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah. Look, it's about people, so you can think about it.
Eight to ten thousand students in the city and people
say to me, oh, students don't spend the money.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Actually, all the research.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Shows they do. They do actually go to the bar,
they go to the restaurant. They want to have fun.
So you see Melbourne, you see other cities around the world.
We're confident it's going to work.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah. And students' families come and spend money as well, Yes,
whether they're coming from e some states or in town
or are overseas, which is always great. John.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
So look, the whole thing opens exclusive for you guys
that it opens on the twenty seventh and twenty eighth
of April.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
They're actually going.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
To close down the Horseshoe Bridge and have a big
market across the bridge, which is brilliant, and they'll be
all different it's called Illuminate, so they'll all be all
these free entertainment. It's going to be brilliant jas a
month and a.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
I didn't realize it was going to be so soon.
And that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Next year or something that's great.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Well, that's better.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Go better.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Hey John, what are you hear?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Mate?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Just quickly? I saw you on the Telly last night
showing off some magnificent little small houses, and we know
housing and homelessness is terrible. I think these ones are
for seniors. But those homes are on the news. I
saw they look magnificent.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, look, look, I want to say this. We get
the housing market is bloody tough. We're throwing everything at it,
and tiny homes are part of the solution. They only
take twelve weeks to build. You build them off site,
you bring them on, drop them off, and so it's
a quicker turnaround time. And yet those tiny homes will
be for seniors who are doing it tough.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Right, those whoever initially came up with the tiny house idea,
you know, first of all, they were changing basically shipping
containers into houses. They deserve, you know, a medal. It's
the greatest idea ever perfect.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
It's really high quality.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Now like yeah push that, yeah, you know, nah, it's
not just a big square, it's.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Decked out and inside that's been so well, they've been
so well planned. There's still plenty of space for living,
so not creating slums. Or anything ridiculous. It's good.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
No, that's a beautiful quality. There was I like even
a window place where you can sit like you look
at it and you think this is a great little home,
and I think, yeah, not just for people on the
social waiting list, but for anyone who's looking at an
alternative to say a young university student or something.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Else like that.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
We've got some very bright minds in you know, those
people that design these things.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
So I'm not surprised.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
All right, twenty eighth of April, I'm I'm penciling it
in John for the opening of Jagan Square twenty seventh
and twenty eighth, was.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
It, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, eleven am.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
And the Horseshoe Bridge closed for per biggest vintage market.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, very nice, Thank you John. A lot of upside there.
Well done, Thank you John, Thank you. Cheers.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Well, let's hope that you know, because it's it is
such a great spot and it's a shame to see
it never.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I mean, I thought what was there before was fab fantastic.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
To walk around there. Once things started shutting down, we
want to go. Yeah, you're going on. No one wants
to hear the words of white elephant do that.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
To be honest, you did not feel comfortable walking around
that area.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I'm shocked as you. That's only five weeks away, sir,
It's pretty cool at Lase. I've got good news and
bad news, but I'm going to start with the bad news. Okay,
get it out of the way. The plague of vermin
is expected to invade the nation this season and it
could drop the value of your home by twenty percent. Oh,
ready for the good news with stories from the UK?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Okay, was it on Perth now?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Quite possibly? Probably yes, Hell, we have the dig of
it deeper to see where the story comes from. So
according to the British Pest Control Association, the call outs
for ratt and mice infestations have doubled in the first
three months of the year over there. And of course
they say, rats and miceer and nature's great survivors that
can live on the scraps we leave behind. And there
are now two hundred and fifty million rats across the
(19:58):
UK ready to breed and spread.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
So the last thing you want running across the back
fence on a home open.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Absolutely for four times the population of humans in Britain.
Are these rats and you're absolutely right. So on top
of not only the numbers, there are six million house
mice burrowing in as well, trying to share the feed.
They're probably going to fight with the rats. And so
the property surveyors or surveyors at least are saying, if
a surveyor discovers rats in your house in the UK,
(20:26):
you're likely to have a twenty percent reduction in the
asking price of your home. The value is say that,
and you may say that situation's possibility. But like you say,
if you've got a buyer in your house and they
see a rat run down across the fence out the
window of the side bedroom, like at my place in
North Perth, you're not losing twenty percent, You're losing one
hundred percent of their valuation because they're walking out. Yeah,
(20:46):
they're so gross.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Speaking of rats, rats are at the New Orleans Police
headquarters are getting high on seized marijuana.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You're kidding.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
The rats are infesting, in fact, to the New Orleans
Police Department headquarters and they're all high from eating the
marijuana stored in the evidence room. Police Superintendent and Kirkpatrick
has told the City Council's Criminal Justice Committee that the
building is infested with cockroaches and rats and they're having
a grand old time destroying the evidence. She told the committee.
(21:19):
The rats are eating are marijuana. They're all high. So
what happens to your case when a rat has eaten
Exhibit A? I mean you've got to bring the whole
rat because the evidence.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Is inside him. I guess it's just you're on a.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Look at this rat lying on the couch eating Twisty's face.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
That's not that's not guilty.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I don't know what is I think you've got. I
think the case would have to be dismissed at that
point in time.
Speaker 12 (21:45):
I more Clezy more Lisa Poor podcasts soon.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Read the flick with ben o'she Good morning, many guys,
ends on the what do you got today?
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Benny, Ghostbusters, Frozen Empire.
Speaker 11 (22:03):
As I'm sitting here in the car park of the
wonderful Williams Woodshed woolf.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Shed will Shed.
Speaker 11 (22:09):
Yeah, we just been down in Albany visiting the set
of the new Daisy Ridley movie. So it's all very exciting.
So I can't say too much about it right now.
Just a bit of a teaser for you, but this
will make you This will make you feel old. The
original Ghostbusters movie can you believe it came out pretty
much forty years ago?
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Oh yeah, years ago, nineteen.
Speaker 11 (22:35):
Eighty four, and ye Bill Murray, Dan, aykroyd Ernie Hudson,
Harold Ramas and you know, Ray Parker Jr. What a classic.
I had frayed an no Ghosts and so since then.
And there was a sequel in nineteen eighty nine that
was pretty good. But they're kind of, you know, legendary
(22:56):
comedies that gave us so many great one liners and
sort of iconic cinematic moments. Then in twenty sixteen, Paul
fig made an all female Ghostbusters reboot starring Melissa McCarthy
and Kristen wigg.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
It was not good.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
Everybody really, everybody really hated on it. I think probably
some of the criticism was unfair.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
It's you know, like film.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
Bros on the internet going oh, we don't like it
because it's all women.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
But also it was not an amazing film.
Speaker 11 (23:29):
That's kind of a yeah, that's you know, you take
away all of that stuff and it just was not good.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
That wasn't great at all.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
And then in twenty twenty one, Jason Rightman, who is
the son of Ivan Reiman, who directed the Originals, made
Ghostbusters Afterlife and it was surprisingly good. It came in
with low expectations. It did pretty well at the box office.
It came out during the pandemic, so you probably give
it a pass on not making heats of money, but
(23:58):
it was okay. It kind of focused on Egon Spengler's
family decades after the events of the original movie in
sort of rural Oklahoma. Egon Spengler's daughter Calli played by
Carry Coon and his grandkids played by Finn Wolfhard from
Stranger Things and McKenna Grace and had Paul Ruther as
(24:20):
well as the high school science teacher who kind of
gets roped into these supernatural happenings. He plays the hilariously
named Gary Gruberson.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
And the film.
Speaker 11 (24:30):
The film kind of won over fans because it was nostalgic.
It had some really nice tributes in it to the original,
and so they get got the kind of like the
go ahead to make a sequel, which is what Frozen
Empire is, and they bring the action back to New York.
You've got the iconic firehouse set, you've got a kind
(24:51):
of supernatural city is about to be destroyed vibes of
the original. But the mistake people will make about Frozen
Empire is compared it to the original. You can't do that.
It will never stack up. This is a family movie.
The central cast members are kids, so you've got to
kind of compare it to your Harry Potters, your Percy Jackson's,
(25:14):
you know, your Hunger Games, those type of you know,
tweety movies, And when you're comparing it to a family
movie like that, all of a sudden, Frozen Empire is
actually pretty good. You've got some solid cameos from Bill
Murray and Dan Ackroyd, some hilarious moments from those guys
who are obviously comedy legends.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
You've got a really good addition.
Speaker 11 (25:36):
In Kamal Nungiani who's a funny, funny actor as well.
And so you probably get enough in here to keep
the original fans of the franchise happy.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
But it's really.
Speaker 11 (25:48):
Aimed at new fans, young kids. You know, you're probably
looking at like sort of twelve to sixteen is a
target demographic of this film. So it arrives just in
time for the school holidays.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I mean, it's been forty years since the first movie,
but ten years since we lost Harold Ramers. So I'm
glad those other yeah blokes have popped up again with
the cameos. It's good.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Yeah, yeah, and they're all great as well. Like Bill Murray.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
You know, he's just a classic kind of deadpan performance
from him.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
He plays bean Ackroyd.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Yeah, he plays Bill. He just does his own thing.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
It's a great scene where from the original he do
those kind of like psychic energy tests on his college
female college students.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
This time he does one with Kamal Nanjiani. It's one
of the highlights of the film.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
It's extremely funny, and Dan Akroyd looks like he's having
the best time of his life, as you know he
always does.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
He's so full of enthusiasm for everything that he does.
Very very funny.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
So yeah, it's if you're comparing it to the original,
you'll be disappointed.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
If you don't.
Speaker 11 (26:44):
Don't criticize it for what it's, not celebrated for what
it is.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
You get something out of it.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
All right, So how many Ghostbusters are you giving it?
Speaker 11 (26:56):
Well, Bustin makes me feel good, So I'm going to
give this one.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
I'm going to give this one.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Three, okay, three flat three, very good.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Okay, Well, can't wait to hear more about the little
secret to this visit down south and you're.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Dropping Daisy there. Daisy got us involved with I leaned
up to the speaker.
Speaker 6 (27:20):

The actor m Emmett Walsh. M Emmett Walsh has died overnight.
He was eighty eight. Walsh was in movie classics like
Christmas with the Cranks. Back in two thousand and four,
he was in Blade Runner, Raising Arizona, Fletch, surperco Reds
and Ordinary People. Most recently he was in Knives Out.
His first movie was nineteen sixty nine's Midnight Cowboy. M
(27:56):
Emmett Walsh had has an IMDb that is such a
high quality list, that is, he has been in amazing film.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
What a career.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Alex Proyus, who directed the late Brandon Lee in nineteen
ninety four's The Crow, is not happy about the remake
coming out this year. He's posted quite the rant on
Facebook saying The Crow is not just a movie. Brandon
Lee died making it and it was finished as a
testament to his lost brilliance. It's his legacy. That's how
it should remain. And I think I agree with him.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It's disrespectful, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Some things you.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Don't have to remake everything, and some things just it
doesn't even need words. It just sort of is an under.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
It just I get it to the right thing to
get what he's saying. Yeah, that he was.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
He did die filming a scene, and I agree it
is something that perhaps should just be left as Brandon's.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, probably quite emotional for those people who were there
finish the film.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I've heard some stories about Elizabeth Taylor over the years,
but this is a new one for me. She had
a surprise cameo in the nineteen ninety four live action
version of The Flintstones, you may recall as Pearl slag Hoople,
and they wanted her so bad as you would in
the movie, and she left with more than just a paycheck. Apparently,
(29:13):
Liz requested that she received a gift every.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Day that she was on set.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Producer Bruce Cohen says during their initial meetings, Liz pulled
him in very close and whispered into his ear, Darling,
you know that I like gifts. On the day of photography.
He said, yes, I've heard of this tradition, and then
she whispered, I like cartier. Ah Cohen says, we didn't
have an Elizabeth Taylor gift a lot within the budget.
(29:40):
So I went to mister Spielberg Stephen, who was the
executive producer, and I said, Steven, I need you to
write me a personal check so I can go shopping
for Elizabeth Taylor.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Spielberg did not hesitate.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I'm surprised she didn't make im miss Liz. I'm surprised
she didn't make Elizabeth Perkins change her name for the
movie on the same set. That's a riff of Crazy
and Liza, he says.

two space exploration companies, are offering a gourmet dinner in
outer space, Oh, for what they say is the discount
price of four hundred and ninety five thousand dollars per person.

Yeah, quite possibly. Yeah, they don't like it when we
don't tip and it's well over one hundred bucks, isn't
it In Australian wondered what.

Yea, they're pretty great. No, well I tried one in
New York. They're not great. I can't how long they've
been hanging on the little van where they sell them from.
Thanks to its big and salty and horrible. Yeah, thanks

of yesterday when we were doing the Tragic Music Box
and I said, at the end of the Monday Rock

gig it was supported by kids in the kitchen. I'd
be heading up the road up Milligan Street to fast Eddies,
and you'd be heading down Wellington Street up to Scott
Carn skulking Scott car it's in the kitchen and Scott Carn.
I would imagine one of those people was happy when
Hunter's a Collective came along a decade later, because then
he started started following Mark.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Look, I know what to say. I've been a stalker
at times.

I've taken my love of music and musicians very seriously
morning text. He knows, I mean we we go together
for the renewal of the restraining order.

Absolutely, that's joke. Sorry, how funny you say that? Because
I'm seeing my boys loves me? He does. He sent
you a T shirt to post it, sign poster as well.

Good morning, John, Welcome John.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Hi guys, So our new redevelopment for Yagan Square has
been announced.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Tell us what's set to happen?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
So, look, I think we all know, it just didn't work.
And the reality is these people just walked by. So
we're reworking at the Nocturnal Crew, if you know, they're
the people behind both it and the old Synagogue in Fremantle.
The complete revamp, complete revamp with eleven bars, three restaurants.
(14:12):
But the best thing is going to be a live
music venue, which, as you probably know, we critically need
in Perth.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Yeah, to be fair, I never walked past it because
he's in smoke.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants. So do
you think this is is the live venue? Is the
going to be maybe the key point of difference this
time around?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I do.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Look, I think, and you know it's who's running it.
Those guys have got the runs on the board. But
the other thing you've got to remember is that there
will be ECU campus across right across, and that's going
to have eight to ten thousand students.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
So I think that.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Plus this really renewal of and it's called Stories, it's
you know, it's got incredible war murals inside. They're really
going for something special and I think both of those
are going to bring a lot more people into a
part which I think we all have to acknowledge. Let's
just call it for what it is, the dead zone.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
OUs see the cues at Old Senegog have gone down
Free Away and now John and it's a huge hit
and these people have got their runs on the board.
But when you think about Ygen, it was just more
and more demoralizing for people as these venues started shutting
down one by one. What about the antisocial behavior that
we see there at times? What's the plan there?
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Yeah, look, that's a good question.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I'd say two things. First of all, you might have
noticed we have put a twenty four hour police mobile facility.
It's a mobile facility, but it's permanently there, so that's
what police run their operations out of in the city.
But the other thing is people is the answer. As
you know, you go to any city around the world
where there is plenty of people on the street, that's
(15:48):
where it feels safe, vibrant. That we can get more
people in there. It will also address the safety issues.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
It's a chicken in an ex situation, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
But you know, really the Edith at Cowan University campus,
that's going to be an utter game changer for that
whole you know, feeling alive and on the streets and
everything factor.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah. Look, it's about people, so you can think about it.
Eight to ten thousand students in the city and people
say to me, oh, students don't spend the money.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Actually, all the research.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Shows they do. They do actually go to the bar,
they go to the restaurant. They want to have fun.
So you see Melbourne, you see other cities around the world.
We're confident it's going to work.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah. And students' families come and spend money as well, Yes,
whether they're coming from e some states or in town
or are overseas, which is always great. John.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
So look, the whole thing opens exclusive for you guys
that it opens on the twenty seventh and twenty eighth
of April.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
They're actually going.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
To close down the Horseshoe Bridge and have a big
market across the bridge, which is brilliant, and they'll be
all different it's called Illuminate, so they'll all be all
these free entertainment. It's going to be brilliant jas a
month and a.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
I didn't realize it was going to be so soon.
And that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Next year or something that's great.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Well, that's better.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Go better.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Hey John, what are you hear?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Mate?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Just quickly? I saw you on the Telly last night
showing off some magnificent little small houses, and we know
housing and homelessness is terrible. I think these ones are
for seniors. But those homes are on the news. I
saw they look magnificent.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, look, look, I want to say this. We get
the housing market is bloody tough. We're throwing everything at it,
and tiny homes are part of the solution. They only
take twelve weeks to build. You build them off site,
you bring them on, drop them off, and so it's
a quicker turnaround time. And yet those tiny homes will
be for seniors who are doing it tough.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Right, those whoever initially came up with the tiny house idea,
you know, first of all, they were changing basically shipping
containers into houses. They deserve, you know, a medal. It's
the greatest idea ever perfect.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
It's really high quality.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Now like yeah push that, yeah, you know, nah, it's
not just a big square, it's.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Decked out and inside that's been so well, they've been
so well planned. There's still plenty of space for living,
so not creating slums. Or anything ridiculous. It's good.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
No, that's a beautiful quality. There was I like even
a window place where you can sit like you look
at it and you think this is a great little home,
and I think, yeah, not just for people on the
social waiting list, but for anyone who's looking at an
alternative to say a young university student or something.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Else like that.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
We've got some very bright minds in you know, those
people that design these things.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
So I'm not surprised.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
All right, twenty eighth of April, I'm I'm penciling it
in John for the opening of Jagan Square twenty seventh
and twenty eighth, was.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
It, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, eleven am.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
And the Horseshoe Bridge closed for per biggest vintage market.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, very nice, Thank you John. A lot of upside there.
Well done, Thank you John, Thank you. Cheers.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Well, let's hope that you know, because it's it is
such a great spot and it's a shame to see
it never.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I mean, I thought what was there before was fab fantastic.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
To walk around there. Once things started shutting down, we
want to go. Yeah, you're going on. No one wants
to hear the words of white elephant do that.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
To be honest, you did not feel comfortable walking around
that area.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I'm shocked as you. That's only five weeks away, sir,
It's pretty cool at Lase. I've got good news and
bad news, but I'm going to start with the bad news. Okay,
get it out of the way. The plague of vermin
is expected to invade the nation this season and it
could drop the value of your home by twenty percent. Oh,
ready for the good news with stories from the UK?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Okay, was it on Perth now?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Quite possibly? Probably yes, Hell, we have the dig of
it deeper to see where the story comes from. So
according to the British Pest Control Association, the call outs
for ratt and mice infestations have doubled in the first
three months of the year over there. And of course
they say, rats and miceer and nature's great survivors that
can live on the scraps we leave behind. And there
are now two hundred and fifty million rats across the
(19:58):
UK ready to breed and spread.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
So the last thing you want running across the back
fence on a home open.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Absolutely for four times the population of humans in Britain.
Are these rats and you're absolutely right. So on top
of not only the numbers, there are six million house
mice burrowing in as well, trying to share the feed.
They're probably going to fight with the rats. And so
the property surveyors or surveyors at least are saying, if
a surveyor discovers rats in your house in the UK,
(20:26):
you're likely to have a twenty percent reduction in the
asking price of your home. The value is say that,
and you may say that situation's possibility. But like you say,
if you've got a buyer in your house and they
see a rat run down across the fence out the
window of the side bedroom, like at my place in
North Perth, you're not losing twenty percent, You're losing one
hundred percent of their valuation because they're walking out. Yeah,
(20:46):
they're so gross.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Speaking of rats, rats are at the New Orleans Police
headquarters are getting high on seized marijuana.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You're kidding.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
The rats are infesting, in fact, to the New Orleans
Police Department headquarters and they're all high from eating the
marijuana stored in the evidence room. Police Superintendent and Kirkpatrick
has told the City Council's Criminal Justice Committee that the
building is infested with cockroaches and rats and they're having
a grand old time destroying the evidence. She told the committee.
(21:19):
The rats are eating are marijuana. They're all high. So
what happens to your case when a rat has eaten
Exhibit A? I mean you've got to bring the whole
rat because the evidence.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Is inside him. I guess it's just you're on a.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Look at this rat lying on the couch eating Twisty's face.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
That's not that's not guilty.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I don't know what is I think you've got. I
think the case would have to be dismissed at that
point in time.
Speaker 12 (21:45):
I more Clezy more Lisa Poor podcasts soon.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Read the flick with ben o'she Good morning, many guys,
ends on the what do you got today?
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Benny, Ghostbusters, Frozen Empire.
Speaker 11 (22:03):
As I'm sitting here in the car park of the
wonderful Williams Woodshed woolf.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Shed will Shed.
Speaker 11 (22:09):
Yeah, we just been down in Albany visiting the set
of the new Daisy Ridley movie. So it's all very exciting.
So I can't say too much about it right now.
Just a bit of a teaser for you, but this
will make you This will make you feel old. The
original Ghostbusters movie can you believe it came out pretty
much forty years ago?
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Oh yeah, years ago, nineteen.
Speaker 11 (22:35):
Eighty four, and ye Bill Murray, Dan, aykroyd Ernie Hudson,
Harold Ramas and you know, Ray Parker Jr. What a classic.
I had frayed an no Ghosts and so since then.
And there was a sequel in nineteen eighty nine that
was pretty good. But they're kind of, you know, legendary
(22:56):
comedies that gave us so many great one liners and
sort of iconic cinematic moments. Then in twenty sixteen, Paul
fig made an all female Ghostbusters reboot starring Melissa McCarthy
and Kristen wigg.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
It was not good.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
Everybody really, everybody really hated on it. I think probably
some of the criticism was unfair.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
It's you know, like film.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
Bros on the internet going oh, we don't like it
because it's all women.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
But also it was not an amazing film.
Speaker 11 (23:29):
That's kind of a yeah, that's you know, you take
away all of that stuff and it just was not good.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
That wasn't great at all.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
And then in twenty twenty one, Jason Rightman, who is
the son of Ivan Reiman, who directed the Originals, made
Ghostbusters Afterlife and it was surprisingly good. It came in
with low expectations. It did pretty well at the box office.
It came out during the pandemic, so you probably give
it a pass on not making heats of money, but
(23:58):
it was okay. It kind of focused on Egon Spengler's
family decades after the events of the original movie in
sort of rural Oklahoma. Egon Spengler's daughter Calli played by
Carry Coon and his grandkids played by Finn Wolfhard from
Stranger Things and McKenna Grace and had Paul Ruther as
(24:20):
well as the high school science teacher who kind of
gets roped into these supernatural happenings. He plays the hilariously
named Gary Gruberson.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
And the film.
Speaker 11 (24:30):
The film kind of won over fans because it was nostalgic.
It had some really nice tributes in it to the original,
and so they get got the kind of like the
go ahead to make a sequel, which is what Frozen
Empire is, and they bring the action back to New York.
You've got the iconic firehouse set, you've got a kind
(24:51):
of supernatural city is about to be destroyed vibes of
the original. But the mistake people will make about Frozen
Empire is compared it to the original. You can't do that.
It will never stack up. This is a family movie.
The central cast members are kids, so you've got to
kind of compare it to your Harry Potters, your Percy Jackson's,
(25:14):
you know, your Hunger Games, those type of you know,
tweety movies, And when you're comparing it to a family
movie like that, all of a sudden, Frozen Empire is
actually pretty good. You've got some solid cameos from Bill
Murray and Dan Ackroyd, some hilarious moments from those guys
who are obviously comedy legends.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
You've got a really good addition.
Speaker 11 (25:36):
In Kamal Nungiani who's a funny, funny actor as well.
And so you probably get enough in here to keep
the original fans of the franchise happy.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
But it's really.
Speaker 11 (25:48):
Aimed at new fans, young kids. You know, you're probably
looking at like sort of twelve to sixteen is a
target demographic of this film. So it arrives just in
time for the school holidays.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I mean, it's been forty years since the first movie,
but ten years since we lost Harold Ramers. So I'm
glad those other yeah blokes have popped up again with
the cameos. It's good.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Yeah, yeah, and they're all great as well. Like Bill Murray.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
You know, he's just a classic kind of deadpan performance
from him.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
He plays bean Ackroyd.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Yeah, he plays Bill. He just does his own thing.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
It's a great scene where from the original he do
those kind of like psychic energy tests on his college
female college students.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
This time he does one with Kamal Nanjiani. It's one
of the highlights of the film.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
It's extremely funny, and Dan Akroyd looks like he's having
the best time of his life, as you know he
always does.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
He's so full of enthusiasm for everything that he does.
Very very funny.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
So yeah, it's if you're comparing it to the original,
you'll be disappointed.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
If you don't.
Speaker 11 (26:44):
Don't criticize it for what it's, not celebrated for what
it is.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
You get something out of it.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
All right, So how many Ghostbusters are you giving it?
Speaker 11 (26:56):
Well, Bustin makes me feel good, So I'm going to
give this one.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
I'm going to give this one.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Three, okay, three flat three, very good.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Okay, Well, can't wait to hear more about the little
secret to this visit down south and you're.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Dropping Daisy there. Daisy got us involved with I leaned
up to the speaker.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Yeah, very exciting. Yeah, okay next week.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Well you can't say much, can you? Your secretive thing?
The Sure Report on ninety six FM.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
The actor m Emmett Walsh. M Emmett Walsh has died overnight.
He was eighty eight. Walsh was in movie classics like
Christmas with the Cranks. Back in two thousand and four,
he was in Blade Runner, Raising Arizona, Fletch, surperco Reds
and Ordinary People. Most recently he was in Knives Out.
His first movie was nineteen sixty nine's Midnight Cowboy. M
(27:56):
Emmett Walsh had has an IMDb that is such a
high quality list, that is, he has been in amazing film.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
What a career.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Alex Proyus, who directed the late Brandon Lee in nineteen
ninety four's The Crow, is not happy about the remake
coming out this year. He's posted quite the rant on
Facebook saying The Crow is not just a movie. Brandon
Lee died making it and it was finished as a
testament to his lost brilliance. It's his legacy. That's how
it should remain. And I think I agree with him.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
It's disrespectful, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Some things you.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Don't have to remake everything, and some things just it
doesn't even need words. It just sort of is an under.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
It just I get it to the right thing to
get what he's saying. Yeah, that he was.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
He did die filming a scene, and I agree it
is something that perhaps should just be left as Brandon's.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, probably quite emotional for those people who were there
finish the film.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I've heard some stories about Elizabeth Taylor over the years,
but this is a new one for me. She had
a surprise cameo in the nineteen ninety four live action
version of The Flintstones, you may recall as Pearl slag Hoople,
and they wanted her so bad as you would in
the movie, and she left with more than just a paycheck. Apparently,
(29:13):
Liz requested that she received a gift every.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Day that she was on set.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Producer Bruce Cohen says during their initial meetings, Liz pulled
him in very close and whispered into his ear, Darling,
you know that I like gifts. On the day of photography.
He said, yes, I've heard of this tradition, and then
she whispered, I like cartier. Ah Cohen says, we didn't
have an Elizabeth Taylor gift a lot within the budget.
(29:40):
So I went to mister Spielberg Stephen, who was the
executive producer, and I said, Steven, I need you to
write me a personal check so I can go shopping
for Elizabeth Taylor.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Spielberg did not hesitate.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I'm surprised she didn't make im miss Liz. I'm surprised
she didn't make Elizabeth Perkins change her name for the
movie on the same set. That's a riff of Crazy
and Liza, he says.
