Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, bigger than the NRL Grand Final last night, bigger
than the AFL Grand Final last weekend. It's the Grand Final,
the season finale of Have you been paying attention? It's
Tom Gleisner, Good Morning Time, Good morning Russell. So season
thirteen finale. It all comes down to this tonight. Who's playing,
(00:21):
who's on the panel?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Look, we've got some of our favorites back this evening.
Kitty Flannigan returns, Denise Scott, Chris Parker, a fabulous New
Zealand comedian we've had on a few times this year,
Ed Caveley, and of course.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Sampang Sampang, he's always there, he's going for life membership.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
He's a fixture. I think we call him well. Plus,
we have an international guest quiz master, Rosie o'donald.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
You've got a big, credible, very big name coming off
the bench tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yes, indeed, So Rosie has no idea what she's in for,
but really looking forward to exposing her to the show.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
But the confusion is half the final, let's face it exactly. Yeah,
how how did you land her? How did you manage
to get her on the panel tonight? I don't I
don't know I.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Think she's actually might be out here doing a perhaps
a tour. Usually usually it's a tour and album, you know,
or a court appearance, and in this case it's a
it's a tour.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
You have other people who organize all these things. You
just you just you know, wrangle them all together once
you get them on the on the panel. So this
is this is the last one after thirteen thirteen seasons,
although we're figuring that we'll be back for season fourteen.
What do you what do you get up to when
(01:37):
the when the show is not on, are you just
still you know, scouring the news for the next season.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Actually, that's the interesting us on to be honest, I
do a real news detox for certainly for a couple
of weeks, because so much of my year is spent,
as you say, scouring the doom scrolling. I think the
kids call it just looking at the awful headliner.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Gets depressing, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It can can or you get this in radio. So
it is nice to have it go a little bit
cold turkey for a few weeks. But but eventually I
like to keep in touch with what's happening, So no,
I'll stay in touch and look what we as in
my colleagues at Working Dog and I tend to use
the time we're not on air with have you been
to to work on other shows? We'll always come up
(02:20):
with with something, whether it's a new TV series or
a film or some crazy notion.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Good good, always creating. That's what we like. So so
the big one tonight. You've got the big names.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I believe as a bit of a warm up, you're
going to you're going to give me a bit of
a quiz. So you're going to be checking if I've
been paying attention. Am I correct? There? I've been warned
by our producer you are.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Indeed, I'm back in you here, Russell. I know you'll
ace this one. So with your hands firmly on the brother.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Think you're far more confident than me. But all right, gone,
fire away, Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Well, Taylor Swift's latest album dropped on Friday. It's called
the Life of.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
NFL Footy Wag Yeah whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I think it was an early title. It's actually stink
sequence and.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I should know this because my daughter's a swifty show girl.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
You have the points, so well done?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
All yes, all right, there's one. Here's a quote for you.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Russell, No, Beardo's no fatties. What organization am I talking about?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, you're not talking about the radio organization, are you?
No fatties? I do believe that might have been mister
Vance talking about the US military? Am I correct?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Almost most of that? Yes, that was actually Pete Hesget for.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
The secret that's the military. Advance would have backed him up,
though surely O.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Dvance was in the background nodding puriously. I think we
could safely say all right with all right now, now
this is interesting for me, Russell. All year I've had
to precede this name, Aaron Patterson, with the alleged mushroom murderer.
But now I can just say Aaron Patterson was back
in court last week. What was she doing there?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I had to duck back to pick up a recipe
book that she.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Left behind with left a few plates. No, it was
more of a legal matter.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yes, of course she was there to appeal her sentence.
She's not happy with the outcome. You have.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
You have the points that the next the next Archbishop
of Canterby has just been announced. What is unusual about
the new appointment.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
They'll be wearing something new. They're replacing the big hat
with a cap.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Clothing is involved because this I don't think the Archbishop
of Canterby has ever worn, would I say a dress before?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
No? No, but they will be now it's a woman,
first time in hundreds hundreds of years.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Quite quite extraordined. All right, let's let's make this our
final question because you this will be a clean sheet
for you if you if you get this one writing.
There have been massive cues at Bunnings this week to
buy what nineteen dollar item?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Well, now it could be one of those new vegan
gluten free bun hot dogs are pretty expensive, although I
don't think the line is that big for those. No. Look,
I've been to Bunnings, Tom, and we're talking about those
bluey themed garden homes. Everyone wants one. Have you got
one going off?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Can't I have that? I'll be lining up today, Hey Russell,
you have you based that? You've got every question correct except.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I got yeah and advance, but you know, hey, one
and the same.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
On a technicality. Otherwise a perfect record.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Thank you very much, Tom. I'm glad to have got
through with a perfect score. Mate. Good luck with the
season finale of season thirteen tonight, have a lot of
fun I know you will have a nice break, detox
a little bit, and we look forward to seeing you
back next year for season fourteen on Channel ten. Good
on you, Thanks Russell, Thanks Tom,

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
