Speaker 1 (00:03):
Everybody, if.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Room for everybody, if at.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
All, for cutting your room for what's on the cutting
room floor today, missus Muntz, What.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Make of this? A couple staged a fake proposal to
get free drinks at a restaurant. They staged this and
then they put it on X and a lot of
people have said, oh, you're stealing. I hope you're proud
of what you're doing. Sad commentary. On a lot of
levels that people have liked it. I consider that theft
other people have said, go for it, and the fact
(00:40):
they got married anyway they weren't a fake couple makes
any difference. Someone said, it's ruined it for all of
us who are having genuine gestures in restaurants.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, do they set out to deceive everyone? That's it.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
They did. They want to get some free drinks Holidays
in Hawaii. Husband gets down on one in front of
a full restaurant of people. Happy couple embrace and kiss
to cheers from other diners, and free drinks ensue for them,
et cetera, et cetera. When I was traveling with Beyond
two thousand, we'd be away for eight weeks and we'd
have what was called a padeem, which you know, a
certain amount of money to spend per day.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
That's what it stands for.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Latin sounds for it stands for Latin.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
No Latin. It's for a certain amount of bundy. That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, not everyone speaks Latin as fluently as I do.
Clov artis and status quo, etcetera, and so, and sometimes
it would go in your favor. If you were staying
in a little African town, you'd save some money. If
you're an expensive city like god and Burg, then it
was expensive. So scammed where you could. And occasionally what
(01:42):
we do at the end of a trip, if we
had some money left over, we'd go to a nice restaurant.
And there have been times I have to say where
we didn't do it to scam free cake or anything,
but you often got free cake. We did it to
embarrass usually the sound records by telling the matre d
that it was their birthday. Carry archie band would come out,
or a person with a guitar or a cake with
(02:04):
a candle in it, and the restaurant would all sing
Happy Birthday, and it would embarrass the hell out of the.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Sound They'd have to go along with that.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, that's right, but they'd have to go along with it.
But what it meant was that the rest of us
got free cake. We got to see someone being embarrassed.
So it's a double win.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
So I think that's okay. That's for joke purposes. And
this couple as well. I think in a way they're
going for joke purposes. I don't think it's too bad.
It's not too deceptive. How did they get found out
that they weren't getting married?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Because they said, hey, look what we did to get
for a drinks. That's how they found out. People are
like great spots.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, look all I did the thing.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
If I've learned anything from the internet, if you do something,
whether it be picking up a small massupial or doing
that best keeper to yourself.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Isn't it funny that the picking up of the small
marsupial united on country in a way that we haven't
had for years and years and years. Yeah, exactly, even
tariffs against even though the tariffs at Donald Trump is
imposed Canada, United, Greenland, United Mexico United. Peter Dutton went
Anthony Abnezi, So that still has divided us. You pick
(03:05):
up a wombat, you pick up a baby, wombat and
take it away from its mother. We're all on the same side.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
It's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I remember a few years ago I was at a
surprise birthday party for someone that we used to work with, Dez,
and I showed up at his party. I was like
one of the first people there. And it was at
this collegiate club in all the collegiate club in the city.
And it was just me and Dez and that was it.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
He said, it was a surprise party.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
It was a surprise party. He got there early. That's right,
it was a surprise party.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
He didn't know it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
He got there early direct, but everyone was going to
show up right, and he goes, what are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And I said, what are you doing? Anyway?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
There was this guy, what are you doing here? Clever Brendan.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
There was this guy called Finn there as well, but
he had nothing to do.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
He was just in the bar.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Did he know him?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
No, No he didn't, I said. And then the ruse
was up that the surprise party, the four but they
this was actually all these people coming because this is
after some about forty five minutes. No one else had show.
So it's me and s Fenn watching The Wizard of
Oz on TV in the collegiate.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Come so you didn't say, hey, other people were supposed
to come, but don't like you.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
His sister showed up and said there were more.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
People and did more people arrive?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Well, this is the thing.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Oh, it took more hours for people to come along
to this thing. And then I said, well, there's you
got me and s Fenn and your sister. Don't feel
too bad, and we've got the Wizard of Oz. And
then as time rolled on, people did start the field
in and by this state, Spenn had ingratiated himself into
the party.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
So I started, They tell, how do you fit into
this fan?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And I said, he saved Deser's life in an ice
fishing accident, you know, for me, it's a wonderful life,
you know, and the kid falls into the Harry Bailey
falls into the ice. It was like that, and they go,
all right, anyway, I just started that story there.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Then more more people.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Come and then there's like about one hundred people there.
So it turned out to be okay. But the story
had gone and spread like wildfire.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
That's fed it. Indeed, saved desert drinks.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Well, I was standing there Wendy Harmer standing next to
Spen So I hear that you saved, you saved and
an ice fishing accident. Anyway, what the ruse was up? Well,
he just didn't. No one caught it on and I
thought it was the greatest thing in the world.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
But did he get free drinks because of it? Was
it a scam?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
People him drinks because they thought he was real?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Lated to upset me about that story is so what
time would des have had to get there for him
to be there?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Life he got their way to it.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, but he would have had to come at midnight
by the time everyone.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Was there was to be there late.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
But it was You know, if you're don't have a
surprise party, everyone get there on time. A birthday person
don't get there anywhere early. If you're a guest, get
there on time.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
That's the whole post rise birthday party a tough.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Remember that time you hope you thought you were having one.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I was getting from my twenty sixth birthday. So the
year before, I don't know, we were talking about a
surprise birthday party.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Was the only person who'd ever want one?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I made mention to my wife, I said, oh, you
know I like a surprise birthday pay She said, well,
I'll have to organize one for you. I was newly
married to my wife back then, so I knew. I
thought maybe something might actually happen, but instead pass this
and you know me one second, it's a thought in
my mind.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And so leading up to.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
That birthday weekend, I said, I we should do something
for my birthday. And I said, oh, I know, we've
got you know, we can't do that or hang.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
On, hang on.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
And then I rang my mates. I said, what are
we doing for my birthday? And I said, oh, no,
we've got something on. It was all incredibly vague, even
my parents. I rang my parents, what do we my
birthdays this weekend? What's happening? What do you guys?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Oh, I know we've we've gone anyway, how you been?
So it just seemed very very odd.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
And I thought, it's happening birthday party, surprise birthday party?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
What did Saturday? I'm at home.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm trying to pretend that you're not ready, just.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Waiting looking out in the backyard. Yeah, And I said,
I'm just going to go out of the shops, Helen.
I'm just going to get some stuff. I'll get some stuff. Yeah,
and she goes, yep, yep, no worries. And then she
and then she said, well where are you going? I said,
just to the shop. She goes, well, don't be too long.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
What a sign?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So I go, I'm like, come in and open the door.
There's no one there.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I've got in the backyard there's Morgan man or a
son just sitting in his little little sand pit.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Made yeah, he turned on.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
My son showed up then, so about six seven point
thirty eight o'clock, no one, And I said, well, this
is a pretty pretty quiet birthday.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And Helen goes, well, what did you want?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I said, I thought there would be like a you know,
and this stage she's standing in a pajamas and say,
I'm off to pit.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah. It was remember last year before or she was
arranging your birthday party and she got and then she
just said to your other blue, oh god, I can't
do this. Can you arrange it yourself? First you'd heard
that she was trying to arrange.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
The surprise play for you.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I can't do that.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I can't. I just can't do this.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
And I thought, is she talked about the marriage. I
can't And then she was mad at me. I just
can't organize this. I can't organize it yourself to it yourself,
and I didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It was a great night.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It was.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Every funny. It's time for Chelsea and Funny Room. Hello,
welcome to the cutting room floor.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Do you like McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yes, I haven't had one for a while because I
try not to make it a regular part of my
diet if I'm hungover. Is there a more nutritious and
delicious meal alive? No?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
What's your go to meal? The McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I haven't had one for a long time, but a
quarter pounded with cheese. I've got a friend who when
she comes to join me on the South Coast, we'll
always stop at macas and get some nugg I don't
understand the appeal of nuggets. It's just grease on your fingers,
fat on your thighs. McDonald's, I don't get the nugget.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
McDonald's nugs are the best nugs in the business.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
But is there any nug in itatter?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, there's nug in there that's chicken. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Is it tender or is it just dry?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
On?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
And when McDonald's brought out the chicken nugget to counteract
KFC's chicken nuggets. I thought you're on a hiding to
nowhere because the colonel he knows a bit about chicken,
and I reckon in the nug game. I'd like to
do a pole on this McDonald nugs versus KFC nugs,
and I would say all day. I do like KFC nugs,
(09:41):
and I like their tenders, they're really good, but the
McDonald's nugs are the king of the nug works.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I know you're enjoying saying nug and you're over egging
the nug. What's your go to McDonald's meal?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I like, I like just the plane eas burger. Only
two of those plaining cheeseburgers, no chips, nothing else on.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
What are the circumstances? I usually hungover or I say
every Sunday.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Yeah, so, but I haven't had McDonald's. I can't remember
the last time I had McDonald's. But two plain cheeseburgers yum.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You also, was it you telling me you'd had a
cab driver that once convinced you that the best dessert
in the universe. The cab Driver Special was one of
those hot apple pies dipped in a flurry.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
In a soft served cone. Now you just get the
soft served cone and you get the upper pie. It's
the cab driver special. You can eat it while you driver.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
You cab, What do you hold? What do you hold?
That's what I said to him.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You still need to.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I said, you've got to hold the cone and you've
got the coal.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
The cone isn't as big as the apple pie.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I pointed this out to him. But we were pulled
over the side of the road having a cab.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Driver special, right, so you needed two hands.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeah, because we're on the way I'm talking about. I said, well,
let's pull it in this McDonald's and get one.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Does the ice cream soften the heat?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Because the.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Apple pies.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
What you do is you jip the apple pie into
and you eat it, eat it, eat it, and then.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You eat it.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You get down to the bottomy part and yummy cone.
It's so young and.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It's not just you know how when you have an
ice cream in a cone and the half of the
bottom cone is just empty, don't waste.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Which you can't. You can't f around with it.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
You've got to be quick because then you just get
a slop fest and you don't want that.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
No, not in your cab. But anyway, the reason I'm
talking about McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Did you know if you went to McDonald's in Iceland
you wouldn't get any of that because there is no
McDonald's in Iceland, never has been a two thousand and
nine they left. There was McDonald's, but they left horse
Smaharson bought a final burger and fries to test the
claim that they never decompose.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So I bought the last. He bought the last.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Burger and fries in Iceland. After three years were no
visible to k He donated them to the National Museum
of Iceland, but they later returned it.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
So so two thousand and nine, three years later, there
was no visible decay. He gave it to a museum
and then they gave it back to him. And where
is it now?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Now?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
The meal sits on display at Nitra House, a hostel
in southern Iceland, where it's live streamed for curious viewers.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Two thousand and nine it's still there. So there it is.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
You can see it now. I'm like that, so fifteen
years later, look at it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well, the burger looks a little whitish, yeah, but the
chip saw the packaging has faded. But the food hasn't.
Rather than that being a good sign, I think that's
a sign of a lot of preservative.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
It's a little scary that the packaging has weathered but
the food has not. Yes, I'd like to test that
with a few nugs, but they don't last long enough.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Is it in a sealed, temperature controlled area, like just
out in the open? What's the cigartorium called a humid door?
Humid door for macas?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, I know it's just out there in the wild. No,
it's behind gloss, behind glass.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It's like an put it in a display case. But
Iceland as well is quite cold.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yes, so that would be okay.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I think you have You think you can get a
warm summer.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, but it's not gonna be like the nulliball.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
No, no, imagine it would not survive in the nulla ball.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I wonder if anyone gets I wonder if Hodrta gets
hungry every day.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And then particularly I'm sure that's just how you pronounce
his name.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Because he would be going some nugs.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
But I'm proud of Iceland for saying no to machas.
Do they know the power of the nug?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
The nug it's the greatest sex and now waste my
time on any of that source bullshit.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Either, I just eat my nugs.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Natural cabs hate that too.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Right, cutting the floor, let's check it out. What's on
the cutting room floor? Would she?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
What's your knowledge of Bulgarian football?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Can you name a single team?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I remember once I had to call a soccer game
when I was down in Woollongong, just talking about the subs,
people coming off the field and all that sort of stuff,
and it was this Serbian Bulgarian Czechoslovakian names My god,
I had to get a tongue ect to me.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
He was playing wing as well.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
To me was what do you know of the Bulgarian
team Arda Khazali.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Well, I know, little, Well, I'll.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Tell you what's happened. A Bulgarian football team so named
Arda Kazali held a minute silence in honor of a
former player, Petko gun Chev, a seventy nine year old
been a former player, a big part of the club.
So they did a minute silence before the game. I've
got footage of them here. They're standing their arms around
each other, paying him his due respects. What was interesting
(14:53):
was he wasn't dead. So during the game, they discovered
he wasn't dead, right, and they had too their Facebook
page explaining that they'd been misinformed about his death. So
you know how we all stood there and had a minute.
You know how we all did that and we bowed
our heads and we gave great thought to him and
all his family and everyone's probably watching this and everything. Well, sorry, sorry,
(15:14):
there's been a mistake. So the management of the team
said they'd like to express a huge apology to this
player and his relatives after the club received wrong information
about his death. So he himself said he never missed
watching their matches on TV, but this is so. I
was driving home to watch the match, but this time
(15:35):
he was ten minutes late because he had some work
to do.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
He missed the minute silence, so he didn't.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
See any of that, and he's driving home. His phone
starts ringing, but he's driving, he said, didn't want to answer.
I entered with the garden and my wife greeted me
in tears. She said, petgo, they've announced on TV that
you've passed away, and would you mind following through. Let's
not make lies of the television.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
They've made the effort.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
So she's thinking, well, he's not home. He's always home
to watch the beginning. He's not home. Yeah, maybe they.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Know before I do. That's pretty quick.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
It's Bulgaria.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
That's pretty quick. Someone dies and then they have a minutes.
So I don't want to wait.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Till the next game because by this old news.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
These days, the twenty four hour news side, it's so grueling.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
So how embarrassing. They would have been THRILLEDI is alive,
but annoyed that they'd been made to look like fool.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah. Yeah, but it happens, does it?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Well, Peter hell You remember Peter Hellier that he was
announced on Twitter that he was dead?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Well, who was it? Who did Richard Wilkinson?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
He said Goldblum had passed away when he hadn't. That's
why you don't get you news from Twitter. I remember
a few years ago there was a guy that we
worked with, Peter and much liked around the radio station,
and Peter had passed away, and I thought it was
the Peter that we liked, and so I went and
I blew up Deluxe because management here had done absolutely
(16:54):
nothing for me, and I said, what the f is
going on with this business? Are we so cold hearted
that this man has passed away, worked with the company
for close to thirty years, and you people have done nothing,
nothing at all, okay, to honor his memory.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
He didn't go that trip.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I went very hard.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And then is anyone having drinks for Peter one of the.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
One of the young guys that works with us. I
told he found out and he was in tears. He
was my mentor, he was my idol.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And then then what Brendan.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Then we discovered it was another Peter that hadn't worked
here for nearly as long, for a nanosecond.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
And also that's all intents and purposes, Peter.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
If the past away Peter, his family is listening to this.
I apologize because you said it wasn't that Peter, because
you said that Peter was one we liked and was.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
A nice The other Peter that passed away.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Was picked people people.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It was not for me.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
So there's no there's no disparaging of his at all.
We just didn't know him.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
He did great things. I just I never met the man.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And so did you have to go around till everyone
you had the wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
To go into the boardroom and say, guys, you know
I walked in before him, as you know, I put
it down on a load.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Forced them to go and buy you some sandwiches. I
had a juice and I like, why don't you go home, Brendan,
won't you go home?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Room?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Well, the cutting room floor, what's on it?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Well, let's talk about White Loatus.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I'm so one to watch series three.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
But interestingly, when series one and two came out, you
and I and everyone we worked with was saying, tonight
is White Lotus night, and we will compare notes the
next morning. If you didn't get to see you're annoyed
because the conversation will be about that.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Everyone around the water cooler was talking about it, but
married at first sight's hogging the water cooler at the moment.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well, I'm not getting the same fervor about this White
Loatus season. So this is and three. I've watched one, two, three, four,
and five of the episodes. There's six, seven, eight to go.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
And it's got Schwarzenegger's kid in it.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, Patrick Schwarzenegger.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
What's he like?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
He's a very good actor. The character's awful. Okay, they're
all see this is a thing you don't like anyone really,
that's the whole point. And it's very uncomfortable to watch.
Whitelotus is always uncomfortable to watch. But I would say
this series is a bit slow to get going. We
haven't learnt much episode five that wasn't set in place
at episode one, and I know that there's lots of
(19:30):
people who are looking for all the clues and saying
that there's the sort of the monkey theme of the
Sino evil here, no speak, no evil, and that turns
up him. And I'm saying the clues to what, what
are the actual major storylines being played out here? I'm
not really sure.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
A lot of these series do this, though I hope
it doesn't go along the ways of Yellowstone, our Yellowstone.
All of a sudden, they're constantly at country music festivals
listening to country.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Music song so it's full of filler, Yeah, a lot
of filler.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Well, these ones are crafted by Mike White, They're all
crafted by him, so there shouldn't it be no filler
because they're individually made, be purposeful and intentional, and maybe
the intention is so hidden I can't see it yet,
but there was a scene the other night, and it
is interesting how it's being played. Jason Isaacs is an
(20:22):
English actor. He plays Timothy Ratliffe, and Parker Posey is
his wife. And he's the father of Patrick Schwarzeneggar and
two other kids. And he is a very rich kind
of country club going guy, American family. And while he's there,
his whole world starts to fall apart because a dodgy
business still he's done, is about to bite him on
(20:43):
the bum. The FBI is involved, there may be prison time,
and it's all falling apart, and he's watching his family
and he's thinking, what am I going to do? You
can He's having a breakdown over all of this, and
as part of that, he can't sleep. So his wife
is always taking these sleeping tablets. She said one hope
you get over your jet lag. He takes one and
he zongs out and he thinks, this is what I
(21:04):
need to do. I just need to zonk out. So
he steals his wife tablet. So he's constantly off his
face and there's a scene where he is talking to
his family. He's in a bathroom in his bathrobe. He's disheveled.
He's sitting around talking to them in their villa and
he opens his legs and you see a full shot
of his genitals, and it's a surprising scene in the family.
Go oh, put it away, Put it away, Dad. It's
(21:25):
not a serious moment, no, but it's shocking to see it.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
It can happen to any man, has it When you
have a bit of you have a bit of gape.
There might be loose shorts or a gaping robe.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Well, this was for an audience. We don't often see
full frontal male nudity like this, and there it was,
in all its glory. And what I'm finding interesting though,
is how Jason Isaac's the actor, is kind of handling
the publicity around this, because all the different actors are
all doing different bits of publicity for White Lotus Season three,
(21:56):
and it seems that time and time again, this is
the only thing he gets asked about about, whether it
was a prosthesis, whether it was his own, all of that,
and he's getting cranky.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Okay, so let me ask you.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
This whole prosthetics seem because it's.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Not talking about my penis on television. I don't think
you'll be asking any actresses about their body passed.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, he sounds a bit terset there.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Well, he's kind of walked back on that a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
And another one as well.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Okay, well I'll tell you why, because the best actresses
year is Mikey Madison of the Oscars, and I don't
see anybody discussing her vulva, which was on television all
the time. M no, And I'm not talking about Swedish cars,
you know. So I think it's interesting that there's a
double standard for men, but when women are naked Margaret
Qualley as well in the substance.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Nobody a dream of talking to her.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, he's he's now kind of walked back on that
a bit because he said, look, I said the wrong
words in the wrong way. I used the phrase double standard,
which I didn't mean. He said women have been monstrously
exploited in a way that men just haven't, so I
don't mean that it's harder for men. He said that
male nudity in the series had been put there, really
in this series to address the unfair balance of nudity
on screen, because you see female nudity all the time
(23:01):
in these shows, and he said that they never get
asked about it. He said women have been exploited forever
in cinema and made to be gratuitously naked and asked
it totally inappropriate questions. But he did say he finds
questions about his character's penis embarrassing and inappropriate, saying it's
a bit weird and slightly obsessive. That that's all I'm
being asked about, Dode.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
You just you know, this is the difference between English
and Australians. Remember we had Murray Bartlett on the show.
You played Armond in the first one, but.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
He didn't he didn't show his area.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
He did a shit, He did a shit in a bag,
and then when you own a suitcase a suitcase and
then he licked some guy's bump and we talked about
that with him and he lend into it.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, he loved her directions.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
You got to go with it, bro, you got acting,
you know, you just got to go. Don't be precious.
Let someone ask you about your penis. You just got
a leaning.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
But he probably doesn't want to go into it because
I read an article that Sentlemon said it was a
prosthetic and he doesn't want that story out there either,
because you want to say, look, I'm an actor, this
is what happens. He dont want to say, oh, it
wasn't really mean.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Are you to say I'm a growler, not a shower,
and that could happen.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
We are you meaning sometimes okay, what happens.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Withstand if it's doing growing show? But in terms of that,
well what happens. But he doesn't want to say yes,
it was mine if it's not, because that story will
come out and he doesn't want anyone to think it
was fake because then that takes away from him being
an actor.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
The thing is, the story's come out anyway. If I
was him, I would just say, yeah, it's it is
what it is?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
What answers that?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
What is? What it is?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
You to say, hey, wall, look at that thing? Idea?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Though, if I sit down like that, looks like I'm
sitting on a space hopper, like we.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Did have big nuts.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
That no one does.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
No one does, and as you get older that just
get bigger like an old ram.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You know, maybe you actually shouldn't be asked about this stuff. Hello, hey,
happy b is some more of John Zyn And then
this curtain move floor.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Hey, hey hey Baddy, here is some.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
More with johnes A man is Curton? What's on the
cutting room floor today?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Do you remember a couple of weeks ago, we talked
about a thing in Japan where particularly women of a
certain age, older women were choosing to go to prison
because they had no where to live. Life is expensive
and life is lonely. So these women there's a rule
(25:24):
where if you offend twice I think it is, you
go to prison. So these women were stealing small bits
of bits and pieces so that they'd be sent to prison.
And there's a whole community of these women in prison
and that's where they liked to be. It's kind of sad,
but it's all about community and if that's we have
to go to find your community.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
But if you're an elderly person in a terrible retirement
home or something like that and you can't afford it,
it's better that you're in prison. Well, if something happens
to you medically or whatever, we the people, the government has.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
To look after you.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Well.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
In Japan, I don't know if they have the culture
of going to retirement homes and if your family don't
look up, where do you go. So there's another prison
story that I found interesting. This is in South Korea.
They've turned a prison into a retreat. It's called a
prison for relaxation. It invites guests to pay for a
period of voluntary isolation that serves as a mental reset.
(26:18):
Inspired by this by his own experience of relentless work,
this lawyer developed this concept as a discipline escape from
digital distractions. We're a point in our lives that people
are spending so long being distracted by their digital items,
whether it's a television, a phone, or computer. So he's
launched this in Soul and visitors have engaged in two
(26:39):
day sessions. It involves spending up to twenty hours a
day in a quiet cell.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
I've noticed in White Lotus, the latest season of White Lotus,
and we spoke about White Lotus on our podcast yesterday
that this resort encourages you to put your phones away.
They are a non phone resort in this TV show.
Whether it's in real life, I don't know. Would you
choose to do that?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah? I would, Yeah, I think I find the phone.
It's like crack. Your phone is like crack.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
But I would say that to my children and they
would say, it's not all negative crack. Some of it's
positive crack. Some of it is that's where you read,
that's that's how your brain winds down. It's not just
revving up. Sometimes, if you're in a working environment, you
may need to be away from your phone. But I
relax at night by doing wordle on my phone, by
(27:30):
flicking through recipes on my phone. The phone isn't always
a negative thing, no.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Now, But it's like the car. The cars are on
negative thing. But it does kill a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
But would you go on a relaxation weekend and refuse
to drive?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Well, you might go on a relaxation weekend and there's
no cars on the island, perhaps, unless you're on Fantasy
Island and mister Rourke and Tattoo come.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Along in when those little golf buddy things, how cool
they were?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
There no cars on that island. Don't you get to
live out your fantasy? What if your fantasy is everyone
has a car?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Hey, mister Rourke, can you rustle up some cars? I'm
a here breaking?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Should you watch that show? Is the premise that you
live out the fantasy you want, but it ends up
that that isn't the fantasy you want exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
So you want a life of a race car driver,
for example, on Fantasy Island and they break their policy
and have a race car for you, and you live
the life, and then all of a sudden you get
caught up in a fiery crash or everyone happened to you.
Maybe your girlfriend gets killed in a fiery crash, and
then that's where you learn and you go back to
(28:32):
your old life and you're happy.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Right, So Fantasy Island is all about selfish people who
want things that they shouldn't have.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, it's a bit of come up.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
And and also do you think he put that suit
in nappisan? It was always white? The island had a
very good laundry.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Great maybe, And if you wed a lot of there
and your fantasy was to be in a very nice
place with a nice laundry.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
What happens then?
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Should you get covered in mud? He'd give you a
pair of andes get their skitties out of this. Ha
ha the plane, the plane. Okay, guess that's say for
the day. Come back tomorrow from more. Chelsea and Amanda's
cutting room floor
Everybody, if.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Room for everybody, if at.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
All, for cutting your room for what's on the cutting
room floor today, missus Muntz, What.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Make of this? A couple staged a fake proposal to
get free drinks at a restaurant. They staged this and
then they put it on X and a lot of
people have said, oh, you're stealing. I hope you're proud
of what you're doing. Sad commentary. On a lot of
levels that people have liked it. I consider that theft
other people have said, go for it, and the fact
(00:40):
they got married anyway they weren't a fake couple makes
any difference. Someone said, it's ruined it for all of
us who are having genuine gestures in restaurants.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, do they set out to deceive everyone? That's it.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
They did. They want to get some free drinks Holidays
in Hawaii. Husband gets down on one in front of
a full restaurant of people. Happy couple embrace and kiss
to cheers from other diners, and free drinks ensue for them,
et cetera, et cetera. When I was traveling with Beyond
two thousand, we'd be away for eight weeks and we'd
have what was called a padeem, which you know, a
certain amount of money to spend per day.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
That's what it stands for.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Latin sounds for it stands for Latin.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
No Latin. It's for a certain amount of bundy. That's right.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, not everyone speaks Latin as fluently as I do.
Clov artis and status quo, etcetera, and so, and sometimes
it would go in your favor. If you were staying
in a little African town, you'd save some money. If
you're an expensive city like god and Burg, then it
was expensive. So scammed where you could. And occasionally what
(01:42):
we do at the end of a trip, if we
had some money left over, we'd go to a nice restaurant.
And there have been times I have to say where
we didn't do it to scam free cake or anything,
but you often got free cake. We did it to
embarrass usually the sound records by telling the matre d
that it was their birthday. Carry archie band would come out,
or a person with a guitar or a cake with
(02:04):
a candle in it, and the restaurant would all sing
Happy Birthday, and it would embarrass the hell out of the.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Sound They'd have to go along with that.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, that's right, but they'd have to go along with it.
But what it meant was that the rest of us
got free cake. We got to see someone being embarrassed.
So it's a double win.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
So I think that's okay. That's for joke purposes. And
this couple as well. I think in a way they're
going for joke purposes. I don't think it's too bad.
It's not too deceptive. How did they get found out
that they weren't getting married?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Because they said, hey, look what we did to get
for a drinks. That's how they found out. People are
like great spots.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, look all I did the thing.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
If I've learned anything from the internet, if you do something,
whether it be picking up a small massupial or doing
that best keeper to yourself.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Isn't it funny that the picking up of the small
marsupial united on country in a way that we haven't
had for years and years and years. Yeah, exactly, even
tariffs against even though the tariffs at Donald Trump is
imposed Canada, United, Greenland, United Mexico United. Peter Dutton went
Anthony Abnezi, So that still has divided us. You pick
(03:05):
up a wombat, you pick up a baby, wombat and
take it away from its mother. We're all on the same side.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
It's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I remember a few years ago I was at a
surprise birthday party for someone that we used to work with, Dez,
and I showed up at his party. I was like
one of the first people there. And it was at
this collegiate club in all the collegiate club in the city.
And it was just me and Dez and that was it.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
He said, it was a surprise party.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
It was a surprise party. He got there early. That's right,
it was a surprise party.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
He didn't know it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
He got there early direct, but everyone was going to
show up right, and he goes, what are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And I said, what are you doing? Anyway?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
There was this guy, what are you doing here? Clever Brendan.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
There was this guy called Finn there as well, but
he had nothing to do.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
He was just in the bar.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Did he know him?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
No, No he didn't, I said. And then the ruse
was up that the surprise party, the four but they
this was actually all these people coming because this is
after some about forty five minutes. No one else had show.
So it's me and s Fenn watching The Wizard of
Oz on TV in the collegiate.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Come so you didn't say, hey, other people were supposed
to come, but don't like you.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
His sister showed up and said there were more.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
People and did more people arrive?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Well, this is the thing.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Oh, it took more hours for people to come along
to this thing. And then I said, well, there's you
got me and s Fenn and your sister. Don't feel
too bad, and we've got the Wizard of Oz. And
then as time rolled on, people did start the field
in and by this state, Spenn had ingratiated himself into
the party.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
So I started, They tell, how do you fit into
this fan?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And I said, he saved Deser's life in an ice
fishing accident, you know, for me, it's a wonderful life,
you know, and the kid falls into the Harry Bailey
falls into the ice. It was like that, and they go,
all right, anyway, I just started that story there.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Then more more people.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Come and then there's like about one hundred people there.
So it turned out to be okay. But the story
had gone and spread like wildfire.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
That's fed it. Indeed, saved desert drinks.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Well, I was standing there Wendy Harmer standing next to
Spen So I hear that you saved, you saved and
an ice fishing accident. Anyway, what the ruse was up? Well,
he just didn't. No one caught it on and I
thought it was the greatest thing in the world.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
But did he get free drinks because of it? Was
it a scam?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
People him drinks because they thought he was real?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Lated to upset me about that story is so what
time would des have had to get there for him
to be there?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Life he got their way to it.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, but he would have had to come at midnight
by the time everyone.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Was there was to be there late.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
But it was You know, if you're don't have a
surprise party, everyone get there on time. A birthday person
don't get there anywhere early. If you're a guest, get
there on time.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
That's the whole post rise birthday party a tough.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Remember that time you hope you thought you were having one.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I was getting from my twenty sixth birthday. So the
year before, I don't know, we were talking about a
surprise birthday party.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Was the only person who'd ever want one?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I made mention to my wife, I said, oh, you
know I like a surprise birthday pay She said, well,
I'll have to organize one for you. I was newly
married to my wife back then, so I knew. I
thought maybe something might actually happen, but instead pass this
and you know me one second, it's a thought in
my mind.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And so leading up to.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
That birthday weekend, I said, I we should do something
for my birthday. And I said, oh, I know, we've
got you know, we can't do that or hang.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
On, hang on.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
And then I rang my mates. I said, what are
we doing for my birthday? And I said, oh, no,
we've got something on. It was all incredibly vague, even
my parents. I rang my parents, what do we my
birthdays this weekend? What's happening? What do you guys?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Oh, I know we've we've gone anyway, how you been?
So it just seemed very very odd.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
And I thought, it's happening birthday party, surprise birthday party?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
What did Saturday? I'm at home.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm trying to pretend that you're not ready, just.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Waiting looking out in the backyard. Yeah, And I said,
I'm just going to go out of the shops, Helen.
I'm just going to get some stuff. I'll get some stuff. Yeah,
and she goes, yep, yep, no worries. And then she
and then she said, well where are you going? I said,
just to the shop. She goes, well, don't be too long.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
What a sign?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So I go, I'm like, come in and open the door.
There's no one there.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I've got in the backyard there's Morgan man or a
son just sitting in his little little sand pit.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Made yeah, he turned on.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
My son showed up then, so about six seven point
thirty eight o'clock, no one, And I said, well, this
is a pretty pretty quiet birthday.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And Helen goes, well, what did you want?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I said, I thought there would be like a you know,
and this stage she's standing in a pajamas and say,
I'm off to pit.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah. It was remember last year before or she was
arranging your birthday party and she got and then she
just said to your other blue, oh god, I can't
do this. Can you arrange it yourself? First you'd heard
that she was trying to arrange.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
The surprise play for you.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I can't do that.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I can't. I just can't do this.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
And I thought, is she talked about the marriage. I
can't And then she was mad at me. I just
can't organize this. I can't organize it yourself to it yourself,
and I didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It was a great night.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It was.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Every funny. It's time for Chelsea and Funny Room. Hello,
welcome to the cutting room floor.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Do you like McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yes, I haven't had one for a while because I
try not to make it a regular part of my
diet if I'm hungover. Is there a more nutritious and
delicious meal alive? No?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
What's your go to meal? The McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I haven't had one for a long time, but a
quarter pounded with cheese. I've got a friend who when
she comes to join me on the South Coast, we'll
always stop at macas and get some nugg I don't
understand the appeal of nuggets. It's just grease on your fingers,
fat on your thighs. McDonald's, I don't get the nugget.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
McDonald's nugs are the best nugs in the business.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
But is there any nug in itatter?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, there's nug in there that's chicken. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Is it tender or is it just dry?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
On?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
And when McDonald's brought out the chicken nugget to counteract
KFC's chicken nuggets. I thought you're on a hiding to
nowhere because the colonel he knows a bit about chicken,
and I reckon in the nug game. I'd like to
do a pole on this McDonald nugs versus KFC nugs,
and I would say all day. I do like KFC nugs,
(09:41):
and I like their tenders, they're really good, but the
McDonald's nugs are the king of the nug works.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I know you're enjoying saying nug and you're over egging
the nug. What's your go to McDonald's meal?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I like, I like just the plane eas burger. Only
two of those plaining cheeseburgers, no chips, nothing else on.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
What are the circumstances? I usually hungover or I say
every Sunday.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Yeah, so, but I haven't had McDonald's. I can't remember
the last time I had McDonald's. But two plain cheeseburgers yum.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
You also, was it you telling me you'd had a
cab driver that once convinced you that the best dessert
in the universe. The cab Driver Special was one of
those hot apple pies dipped in a flurry.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
In a soft served cone. Now you just get the
soft served cone and you get the upper pie. It's
the cab driver special. You can eat it while you driver.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
You cab, What do you hold? What do you hold?
That's what I said to him.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You still need to.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I said, you've got to hold the cone and you've
got the coal.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
The cone isn't as big as the apple pie.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I pointed this out to him. But we were pulled
over the side of the road having a cab.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Driver special, right, so you needed two hands.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeah, because we're on the way I'm talking about. I said, well,
let's pull it in this McDonald's and get one.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Does the ice cream soften the heat?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Because the.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Apple pies.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
What you do is you jip the apple pie into
and you eat it, eat it, eat it, and then.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You eat it.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You get down to the bottomy part and yummy cone.
It's so young and.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It's not just you know how when you have an
ice cream in a cone and the half of the
bottom cone is just empty, don't waste.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Which you can't. You can't f around with it.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
You've got to be quick because then you just get
a slop fest and you don't want that.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
No, not in your cab. But anyway, the reason I'm
talking about McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Did you know if you went to McDonald's in Iceland
you wouldn't get any of that because there is no
McDonald's in Iceland, never has been a two thousand and
nine they left. There was McDonald's, but they left horse
Smaharson bought a final burger and fries to test the
claim that they never decompose.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So I bought the last. He bought the last.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Burger and fries in Iceland. After three years were no
visible to k He donated them to the National Museum
of Iceland, but they later returned it.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
So so two thousand and nine, three years later, there
was no visible decay. He gave it to a museum
and then they gave it back to him. And where
is it now?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Now?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
The meal sits on display at Nitra House, a hostel
in southern Iceland, where it's live streamed for curious viewers.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Two thousand and nine it's still there. So there it is.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
You can see it now. I'm like that, so fifteen
years later, look at it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Well, the burger looks a little whitish, yeah, but the
chip saw the packaging has faded. But the food hasn't.
Rather than that being a good sign, I think that's
a sign of a lot of preservative.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
It's a little scary that the packaging has weathered but
the food has not. Yes, I'd like to test that
with a few nugs, but they don't last long enough.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Is it in a sealed, temperature controlled area, like just
out in the open? What's the cigartorium called a humid door?
Humid door for macas?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, I know it's just out there in the wild. No,
it's behind gloss, behind glass.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It's like an put it in a display case. But
Iceland as well is quite cold.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yes, so that would be okay.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I think you have You think you can get a
warm summer.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, but it's not gonna be like the nulliball.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
No, no, imagine it would not survive in the nulla ball.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I wonder if anyone gets I wonder if Hodrta gets
hungry every day.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And then particularly I'm sure that's just how you pronounce
his name.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Because he would be going some nugs.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
But I'm proud of Iceland for saying no to machas.
Do they know the power of the nug?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
The nug it's the greatest sex and now waste my
time on any of that source bullshit.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Either, I just eat my nugs.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Natural cabs hate that too.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Right, cutting the floor, let's check it out. What's on
the cutting room floor? Would she?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
What's your knowledge of Bulgarian football?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Can you name a single team?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I remember once I had to call a soccer game
when I was down in Woollongong, just talking about the subs,
people coming off the field and all that sort of stuff,
and it was this Serbian Bulgarian Czechoslovakian names My god,
I had to get a tongue ect to me.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
He was playing wing as well.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
To me was what do you know of the Bulgarian
team Arda Khazali.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Well, I know, little, Well, I'll.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Tell you what's happened. A Bulgarian football team so named
Arda Kazali held a minute silence in honor of a
former player, Petko gun Chev, a seventy nine year old
been a former player, a big part of the club.
So they did a minute silence before the game. I've
got footage of them here. They're standing their arms around
each other, paying him his due respects. What was interesting
(14:53):
was he wasn't dead. So during the game, they discovered
he wasn't dead, right, and they had too their Facebook
page explaining that they'd been misinformed about his death. So
you know how we all stood there and had a minute.
You know how we all did that and we bowed
our heads and we gave great thought to him and
all his family and everyone's probably watching this and everything. Well, sorry, sorry,
(15:14):
there's been a mistake. So the management of the team
said they'd like to express a huge apology to this
player and his relatives after the club received wrong information
about his death. So he himself said he never missed
watching their matches on TV, but this is so. I
was driving home to watch the match, but this time
(15:35):
he was ten minutes late because he had some work
to do.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
He missed the minute silence, so he didn't.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
See any of that, and he's driving home. His phone
starts ringing, but he's driving, he said, didn't want to answer.
I entered with the garden and my wife greeted me
in tears. She said, petgo, they've announced on TV that
you've passed away, and would you mind following through. Let's
not make lies of the television.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
They've made the effort.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
So she's thinking, well, he's not home. He's always home
to watch the beginning. He's not home. Yeah, maybe they.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Know before I do. That's pretty quick.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
It's Bulgaria.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
That's pretty quick. Someone dies and then they have a minutes.
So I don't want to wait.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Till the next game because by this old news.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
These days, the twenty four hour news side, it's so grueling.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
So how embarrassing. They would have been THRILLEDI is alive,
but annoyed that they'd been made to look like fool.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah. Yeah, but it happens, does it?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Well, Peter hell You remember Peter Hellier that he was
announced on Twitter that he was dead?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Well, who was it? Who did Richard Wilkinson?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
He said Goldblum had passed away when he hadn't. That's
why you don't get you news from Twitter. I remember
a few years ago there was a guy that we
worked with, Peter and much liked around the radio station,
and Peter had passed away, and I thought it was
the Peter that we liked, and so I went and
I blew up Deluxe because management here had done absolutely
(16:54):
nothing for me, and I said, what the f is
going on with this business? Are we so cold hearted
that this man has passed away, worked with the company
for close to thirty years, and you people have done nothing,
nothing at all, okay, to honor his memory.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
He didn't go that trip.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I went very hard.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And then is anyone having drinks for Peter one of the.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
One of the young guys that works with us. I
told he found out and he was in tears. He
was my mentor, he was my idol.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And then then what Brendan.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Then we discovered it was another Peter that hadn't worked
here for nearly as long, for a nanosecond.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
And also that's all intents and purposes, Peter.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
If the past away Peter, his family is listening to this.
I apologize because you said it wasn't that Peter, because
you said that Peter was one we liked and was.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
A nice The other Peter that passed away.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Was picked people people.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It was not for me.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
So there's no there's no disparaging of his at all.
We just didn't know him.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
He did great things. I just I never met the man.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And so did you have to go around till everyone
you had the wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
To go into the boardroom and say, guys, you know
I walked in before him, as you know, I put
it down on a load.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Forced them to go and buy you some sandwiches. I
had a juice and I like, why don't you go home, Brendan,
won't you go home?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Room?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Well, the cutting room floor, what's on it?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Well, let's talk about White Loatus.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I'm so one to watch series three.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
But interestingly, when series one and two came out, you
and I and everyone we worked with was saying, tonight
is White Lotus night, and we will compare notes the
next morning. If you didn't get to see you're annoyed
because the conversation will be about that.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Everyone around the water cooler was talking about it, but
married at first sight's hogging the water cooler at the moment.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well, I'm not getting the same fervor about this White
Loatus season. So this is and three. I've watched one, two, three, four,
and five of the episodes. There's six, seven, eight to go.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
And it's got Schwarzenegger's kid in it.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, Patrick Schwarzenegger.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
What's he like?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
He's a very good actor. The character's awful. Okay, they're
all see this is a thing you don't like anyone really,
that's the whole point. And it's very uncomfortable to watch.
Whitelotus is always uncomfortable to watch. But I would say
this series is a bit slow to get going. We
haven't learnt much episode five that wasn't set in place
at episode one, and I know that there's lots of
(19:30):
people who are looking for all the clues and saying
that there's the sort of the monkey theme of the
Sino evil here, no speak, no evil, and that turns
up him. And I'm saying the clues to what, what
are the actual major storylines being played out here? I'm
not really sure.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
A lot of these series do this, though I hope
it doesn't go along the ways of Yellowstone, our Yellowstone.
All of a sudden, they're constantly at country music festivals
listening to country.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Music song so it's full of filler, Yeah, a lot
of filler.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Well, these ones are crafted by Mike White, They're all
crafted by him, so there shouldn't it be no filler
because they're individually made, be purposeful and intentional, and maybe
the intention is so hidden I can't see it yet,
but there was a scene the other night, and it
is interesting how it's being played. Jason Isaacs is an
(20:22):
English actor. He plays Timothy Ratliffe, and Parker Posey is
his wife. And he's the father of Patrick Schwarzeneggar and
two other kids. And he is a very rich kind
of country club going guy, American family. And while he's there,
his whole world starts to fall apart because a dodgy
business still he's done, is about to bite him on
(20:43):
the bum. The FBI is involved, there may be prison time,
and it's all falling apart, and he's watching his family
and he's thinking, what am I going to do? You
can He's having a breakdown over all of this, and
as part of that, he can't sleep. So his wife
is always taking these sleeping tablets. She said one hope
you get over your jet lag. He takes one and
he zongs out and he thinks, this is what I
(21:04):
need to do. I just need to zonk out. So
he steals his wife tablet. So he's constantly off his
face and there's a scene where he is talking to
his family. He's in a bathroom in his bathrobe. He's disheveled.
He's sitting around talking to them in their villa and
he opens his legs and you see a full shot
of his genitals, and it's a surprising scene in the family.
Go oh, put it away, Put it away, Dad. It's
(21:25):
not a serious moment, no, but it's shocking to see it.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
It can happen to any man, has it When you
have a bit of you have a bit of gape.
There might be loose shorts or a gaping robe.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Well, this was for an audience. We don't often see
full frontal male nudity like this, and there it was,
in all its glory. And what I'm finding interesting though,
is how Jason Isaac's the actor, is kind of handling
the publicity around this, because all the different actors are
all doing different bits of publicity for White Lotus Season three,
(21:56):
and it seems that time and time again, this is
the only thing he gets asked about about, whether it
was a prosthesis, whether it was his own, all of that,
and he's getting cranky.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Okay, so let me ask you.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
This whole prosthetics seem because it's.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Not talking about my penis on television. I don't think
you'll be asking any actresses about their body passed.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, he sounds a bit terset there.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Well, he's kind of walked back on that a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
And another one as well.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Okay, well I'll tell you why, because the best actresses
year is Mikey Madison of the Oscars, and I don't
see anybody discussing her vulva, which was on television all
the time. M no, And I'm not talking about Swedish cars,
you know. So I think it's interesting that there's a
double standard for men, but when women are naked Margaret
Qualley as well in the substance.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Nobody a dream of talking to her.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, he's he's now kind of walked back on that
a bit because he said, look, I said the wrong
words in the wrong way. I used the phrase double standard,
which I didn't mean. He said women have been monstrously
exploited in a way that men just haven't, so I
don't mean that it's harder for men. He said that
male nudity in the series had been put there, really
in this series to address the unfair balance of nudity
on screen, because you see female nudity all the time
(23:01):
in these shows, and he said that they never get
asked about it. He said women have been exploited forever
in cinema and made to be gratuitously naked and asked
it totally inappropriate questions. But he did say he finds
questions about his character's penis embarrassing and inappropriate, saying it's
a bit weird and slightly obsessive. That that's all I'm
being asked about, Dode.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
You just you know, this is the difference between English
and Australians. Remember we had Murray Bartlett on the show.
You played Armond in the first one, but.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
He didn't he didn't show his area.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
He did a shit, He did a shit in a bag,
and then when you own a suitcase a suitcase and
then he licked some guy's bump and we talked about
that with him and he lend into it.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, he loved her directions.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
You got to go with it, bro, you got acting,
you know, you just got to go. Don't be precious.
Let someone ask you about your penis. You just got
a leaning.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
But he probably doesn't want to go into it because
I read an article that Sentlemon said it was a
prosthetic and he doesn't want that story out there either,
because you want to say, look, I'm an actor, this
is what happens. He dont want to say, oh, it
wasn't really mean.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Are you to say I'm a growler, not a shower,
and that could happen.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
We are you meaning sometimes okay, what happens.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Withstand if it's doing growing show? But in terms of that,
well what happens. But he doesn't want to say yes,
it was mine if it's not, because that story will
come out and he doesn't want anyone to think it
was fake because then that takes away from him being
an actor.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
The thing is, the story's come out anyway. If I
was him, I would just say, yeah, it's it is
what it is?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
What answers that?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
What is? What it is?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
You to say, hey, wall, look at that thing? Idea?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Though, if I sit down like that, looks like I'm
sitting on a space hopper, like we.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Did have big nuts.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
That no one does.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
No one does, and as you get older that just
get bigger like an old ram.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You know, maybe you actually shouldn't be asked about this stuff. Hello, hey,
happy b is some more of John Zyn And then
this curtain move floor.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Hey, hey hey Baddy, here is some.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
More with johnes A man is Curton? What's on the
cutting room floor today?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Do you remember a couple of weeks ago, we talked
about a thing in Japan where particularly women of a
certain age, older women were choosing to go to prison
because they had no where to live. Life is expensive
and life is lonely. So these women there's a rule
(25:24):
where if you offend twice I think it is, you
go to prison. So these women were stealing small bits
of bits and pieces so that they'd be sent to prison.
And there's a whole community of these women in prison
and that's where they liked to be. It's kind of sad,
but it's all about community and if that's we have
to go to find your community.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
But if you're an elderly person in a terrible retirement
home or something like that and you can't afford it,
it's better that you're in prison. Well, if something happens
to you medically or whatever, we the people, the government has.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
To look after you.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Well.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
In Japan, I don't know if they have the culture
of going to retirement homes and if your family don't
look up, where do you go. So there's another prison
story that I found interesting. This is in South Korea.
They've turned a prison into a retreat. It's called a
prison for relaxation. It invites guests to pay for a
period of voluntary isolation that serves as a mental reset.
(26:18):
Inspired by this by his own experience of relentless work,
this lawyer developed this concept as a discipline escape from
digital distractions. We're a point in our lives that people
are spending so long being distracted by their digital items,
whether it's a television, a phone, or computer. So he's
launched this in Soul and visitors have engaged in two
(26:39):
day sessions. It involves spending up to twenty hours a
day in a quiet cell.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
I've noticed in White Lotus, the latest season of White Lotus,
and we spoke about White Lotus on our podcast yesterday
that this resort encourages you to put your phones away.
They are a non phone resort in this TV show.
Whether it's in real life, I don't know. Would you
choose to do that?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah? I would, Yeah, I think I find the phone.
It's like crack. Your phone is like crack.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
But I would say that to my children and they
would say, it's not all negative crack. Some of it's
positive crack. Some of it is that's where you read,
that's that's how your brain winds down. It's not just
revving up. Sometimes, if you're in a working environment, you
may need to be away from your phone. But I
relax at night by doing wordle on my phone, by
(27:30):
flicking through recipes on my phone. The phone isn't always
a negative thing, no.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Now, But it's like the car. The cars are on
negative thing. But it does kill a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
But would you go on a relaxation weekend and refuse
to drive?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Well, you might go on a relaxation weekend and there's
no cars on the island, perhaps, unless you're on Fantasy
Island and mister Rourke and Tattoo come.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Along in when those little golf buddy things, how cool
they were?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
There no cars on that island. Don't you get to
live out your fantasy? What if your fantasy is everyone
has a car?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Hey, mister Rourke, can you rustle up some cars? I'm
a here breaking?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Should you watch that show? Is the premise that you
live out the fantasy you want, but it ends up
that that isn't the fantasy you want exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
So you want a life of a race car driver,
for example, on Fantasy Island and they break their policy
and have a race car for you, and you live
the life, and then all of a sudden you get
caught up in a fiery crash or everyone happened to you.
Maybe your girlfriend gets killed in a fiery crash, and
then that's where you learn and you go back to
(28:32):
your old life and you're happy.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Right, So Fantasy Island is all about selfish people who
want things that they shouldn't have.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, it's a bit of come up.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
And and also do you think he put that suit
in nappisan? It was always white? The island had a
very good laundry.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Great maybe, And if you wed a lot of there
and your fantasy was to be in a very nice
place with a nice laundry.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
What happens then?
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Should you get covered in mud? He'd give you a
pair of andes get their skitties out of this. Ha
ha the plane, the plane. Okay, guess that's say for
the day. Come back tomorrow from more. Chelsea and Amanda's
