Speaker 1 (00:01):
I'm going to tell you the 80s and 90s actor
who kept taking the star.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Roles from Rob Lowe. Oh, okay. He was such a.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Heartthrob in that time in the 80s and 90s, but
there was one actor that he considered his nemesis.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
And I'll tell you who it is. Now, Oasis Mania.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Has hit the Venice Film Festival on Saturday night with
Liam and Noel Gallagher. Now, you must know that these
guys absolutely hated each other. I mean, honestly, for decades.
It broke up the band. They were just so, you know,
there was no one worse for each other on the planet.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Anyway, they have come back together.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
With their documentary called Don't Look Back in Anger and
over the course at the end of the Venice Film Festival,
eight-minute standing ovation.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Wow. Eight minutes. I can't imagine. And they raised their
hands in unison.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Can you ever imagine being at something where you stand
and clap for that long?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Eight minutes?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Eight minutes.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
That's so long. Even minutes long.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I'd be so bored.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
What?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I know.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Clapping.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It's a long time.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Maybe it's because, you know, the fact that the Gallaghers
were in the same room together.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
People were like, if we keep clapping, you'll.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Stay up there. That's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Is it like one of those moments where everyone goes,
are we done yet? No.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
No, they loved it. They absolutely loved it. Oh, we're
still clapping.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
All right. Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
So Rob Lowe was a massive heartthrob in the 80s
and 90s, wasn't he?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Part of the Brat Pack.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Which in itself was this whole thing in the 80s
and 90s of film. but there was one actor that
just kept taking the parts he wanted. So Rob Lowe
read for Jerry Maguire and it went to.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah, Tom.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Rob Lowe read for Top Gun.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Oh, Tom Cruise.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
So that's his nemesis. That is his nemesis. He said
that forever.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
He just kept getting, you know, and he'd get down
to the final two. Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He and Tom.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
And look at how much Tom's made.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I know.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And the thing is that once Tom made, like, Jerry
Maguire and it was Oscar-nominated Cuba Gooding Jr.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Won.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Rob Lowe was stuffed.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Can you imagine, though? I'm just trying to picture Top
Gun with Rob Lowe sitting in the Maverick seat.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It just doesn't right. He has the look.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Could you imagine him just in jeans playing volleyball.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
On the beach?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I feel like everyone, like when you knew Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Okay, you're okay with that?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Tom Cruise is that guy.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Everyone goes, oh, that's going to be good.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Do you know what I mean? Rob Lowe still looks good.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
No, I know.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Tom Cruise does too. Anyway, so there you go. Poor
old Rob Lowe.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
If you ever feel that someone is getting the job
instead of you, just hold.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
On to Rob Lowe.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Just imagine being second place to Tom Cruise your whole life.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It's like Renna got the captaincy over me. It really hurt.
I don't feel like that's a parlance.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I don't feel like that's the same thing.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
No, no. Good on you for trying.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
One of you could control a team. The other one
was just the terrorist.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Oh, it was the one he had to control? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
You might have been, yeah, in this equation, you're going
for the role of goose at best.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
At best?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Absolute best.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Put him in the back. Robin, Kip and Corey Oates
in the morning.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Beyonce is being greedy and the online community is having
none of it.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'll tell you what she's done.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
But American former basketball player Shaquille O'Neal... He retired in
2011 and played for teams like Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers,
Miami Heat, Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
He is one of the greats, I would hope to say.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
He's a legend. He's been keeping post-retirement by studying a
master's degree in criminology. He also took on a voluntary
unpaid general manager role for the Sacramento State men's basketball
team to support his sons.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So he's doing lots of cool things, right? He's a doctor,
isn't he?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Honorary, surely.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, honorary. But yeah, because wait till.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Okay, he's now posted a video online asking a question
he'd like help answering.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Okay, smart people. One goose is called goose. Two or
more goose are called geese. One moose is called moose.
How come two or three more moose can't be called meese?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
That's a fair question.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Right.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
That is so true.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
That's fair.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I know there is no answer, but thank you, Shaquille.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Yeah. I have heard him also like in his car
questioning that the earth is round. So I'm just a little.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
He's a flat earther. I think so. Please stop.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
He's like, I traveled all the way from, you know,
this place to this place and it was pretty flat. Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Come on, Shaq. Come on, Shaq.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
So if he's a doctor, I'm getting a second opinion
is my point.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Beyonce is being slammed online for losing her mind. Yeah,
she turned 45 on Friday. It was also the 20th
anniversary of her second album, B-Day, which had hits like Irreplaceable. Now,
in honour of the occasion, she is selling a Bay,
like B-E-Y, Keeper collection box. For $ 948. 01 US, a nod
(05:01):
to her birthday on September 4th. Now, there's only 500
available and it's quite literally just an 8 by 14
inch pine wood box, completely empty.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
And it's $ 1, 000 for a box, for a pine box.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
A pine box.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
A tiny.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Pine box. And people are not loving it. They're like,
how greedy are you, love? The price is absurd.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You do not need the money. If you wanted to
do it, do it for $ 94.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
81.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It should be 50 bucks. Yeah, true. That could be
50 bucks too. And Somba.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
It'd be cool if you wanted to bury a small
pet in it, though. It does look like a tiny coffin.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's a little coffin. Okay. It's a nice. What a
great way to think of that box. Do you want
to go and see Somba?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
