Melbourne and Canada, we got exciting news for you. And we should also say this is 2026. Jess, what year is it? 2026. Thank God you're here. Right now, I'm in Melbourne doing my show with Serengy Amarna 630 each night at the Cooper's Inn Hotel, having so much fun. We'd love to see you there. Canada, we are visiting you in September this year.

If you've somehow missed the news, we are heading up Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto for shows. That's going to be so much fun. Tickets for all this stuff, I believe, are online. And I'm here too. This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. Hello and welcome to another episode of Dugo One. My name is Dave Warnocky and I'm sitting at a table with Jess Perkins and Matt Stewart.

My name's Matt. That wasn't very good. No, I wasn't bad. Go again. No. Birmingham. Nice. Nice.

Live from Birmingham. That is good. Matt is saying that. because the episode you are about to hear. We are just at the very end of our tour our last night in London as we record this little introduction. But this show was recorded a few nights ago in Birmingham. Sorry, Dave. Birmingham.

Thank you. We'll be in the air right now flying home. I'll have to upload this tonight before we jump on the plane. Yeah. So if you're listening to this immediately after it's been released or about up to, I'm going to say nine hours from when it's been released, released, we are on a plane. Isn't that exciting?

We're in the sky, baby. Yeah. Oh, technology, am I right? But if you are listening to this post nine hours from when this was released, we're probably at our homes. But there's a chance that if they're listening really far in the future, we will be back on a plane. A small chance. We only spend a very small portion of our lives on planes.

Dave, don't lie to them. We are jet-setters. Yes. We are all frequent flyers now. Bronze. The most. Yeah. The one you automatically get for free.

It's pretty good. Oh, yeah. The perks include the general public toilets that everyone else has. Yeah. An expensive airport food. I love it. I love it. So good.

So this was recorded at the Glee Club, an awesome comedy club in Birmingham, which we performed for a couple of nights. And I hope you enjoyed it as much as we had as much fun as we had in the room. I'm trying to say. All the shows were so much fun. Yes. In fact, we've got to say at the top of this, thanks to everyone that's come to any of the UK tours. We ended up doing nine shows all up.

Ridiculous. And they were all very, very fun. We're going to release some of the episodes on the main feed like this one that you're going to hear over the next couple of weeks or so. And then some of them will be Patreon bonus episodes. So keep your eyes peeled for those ones. But they were all very fun and everyone was lovely. We met a lot of people after the shows. And, yeah, you have a great, great country.

So good. Yeah. Thanks so much. For this country. For having us in this country. Yes. Well contributed, Matt. Now on with the show.

Where was the show again? Birmingham. Ah. Hello! All right. Thank you so much for coming out. Friday night. You're pumped?

Yes. Yeah, we remember what day it is. Okay. A little check for myself there. I'm in Birmingham. It's Friday. Yes. So great to be here.

Who's excited to see? I've got a computer tonight. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much for coming out. It is an absolute pleasure to be here. Was anyone here at this show of the Glee Club last night? You were sitting in that same chair. No, he was there last time, and we picked on him a lot.

So now it's your turn. Wise for you to ooh. Oh, boy. I just talked into my drink, so it's been a long couple of weeks. But we're having the best ever time. Huh? Was that convincing? No, we're literally us.

It is an absolute pleasure. Thank you so much for coming out. We're going to sit down right now and make the most of these red chairs. They're very comfy. They're even got, for some reason, we have a seating chart. Oh, look at seating chart.

It says the person in chair 320 will be executed halfway through the show. So sorry. Oh, sorry. Sorry. It's like a real sad episode of Oprah. Everyone, look under your chairs. You get...

Complete that one, yourself. Fuck, all right, great. I slept till midday today and I'm feeling fresh AF. What does that mean? I'm not sure, but I feel real good. It's what the young people say. Yeah, they all say. fresh.

Yeah. Fresh. All right, great. Have we lost momentum early here? Running out of steam. Right off the top. Plenty more steam.

Plenty more steam, don't you worry. We're saving it for the big finale. Okay. We just went down to your Christmas festival and it is very nice. The German Christmas market. Anyone been there?

People drinking Steins in the streets. It's bloody mayhem. Wouldn't be allowed to do that in Australia. Yeah, Nanny State. Yeah, with good reason. We did not deserve to be trusted. It's mainly something that Matt did a couple of Christmases ago. We couldn't be trusted.

Anyway, I'm on the water's here, so you guys can be resting assured that everything is going to be a-okay. You were very excited about that. Appreciate that. Thank you. You're okay with okay. I'm okay with okay? Yeah, great.

Oh, putting that on a T-shirt. I'm okay with okay. selling that shirt after the show, all right. We've got a very good printer backstage, so it's all good. But give me a round of course, ladies and gentlemen if you've ever heard the Do Go On podcast before? That's awkward, yes.

You haven't? Oh, me! You've never heard it? I hope she hasn't. Oh, okay. Front row, Santa, love it. Has anyone else in the front row not heard it before? Yeah, great. Okay, but okay hasn't heard it.

You're okay with not listening to the podcast. It's fine. You just put your leg. up instead of your hand let me try that yeah I'm okay with being okay your face says otherwise god that really hurt okay now I'll give us a round pause we've met a couple of people you've never heard the show before don't be shy just those two one more okay great okay great and one more here okay I'm sorry I don't have to point at you individually that was weird I just

want anybody to feel left out I feel like there's another one over there is there another one over there? Nah, okay, yes. Very sheepish, and I'm pointing at you. I'm sorry. If you could just put your leg up, that'd be great. That's okay. We're not picking on you.

Well, I did a little bit, and I'm sorry about that. It was just funny. I happened to be looking at you as you went, this is awkward. No, thanks, Your Honesty. You've never heard the show before, which some of you haven't. Basically, it's a podcast where one of us does a report on a topic, usually suggested by a listener.

The other two people have no idea what it's going to be. and today it is Matt's turn to report on a topic that Jess and I have no idea what it is. Do you want to... We're going to start it right now, are we? That caught me by surprise. I mean, we could start it at the end of the show if you're like. It depends how much research you did today.

It really feels like we talked more shit last night, but you're going to get straight into it here tonight. Sure. All right, great. Well, I cannot... I honestly am glad that you've said that because I am raring to go. What is my password? Great.

So we start the show or the report with a question. You said that already? I have not. But you did. All right, we did it. And that was it. And here's another one. And this will get us onto the topic.

The question is, I'll ask these guys, if they don't get it, then I'll throw it over to the audience. The question is, what has been billed as the most dangerous film ever made? Dangerous film. Yes. Dirty dancing. No. You tried doing that lift.

It's really hard. Nine people died doing that way. Nobody puts baby. Oh, God! I did not think I had a dirty dancing joke in me, and neither did you. So there we go. Yeah, they validated that.

Dangerous films. Risky business. You can spray an ankle doing that thing in the socks. Yeah, nine people died. Tom Cruise was not the first person cast in that, role but he nailed it. I don't know. Does anybody have a... I've got a clue. It's also

the name of a hit Katie Perry song. Firework. You're clicking at me. I'm not a waiter, but yes? No, I'm joking, it's fine. I'm just thinking, home alone because that kids are going to want to try that. Sure.

Home alone because kids... I love that, yeah, that's a Lesterfield. Kids recreate it. Home alone, that classic Katie Perry hit song. Raw. Raw. Oh.

No one's heard of it. I hadn't either. So I've got to ask, are you, do you know the film or do you know Katie Perry? I've not seen the film or I've heard of that, well, you'll see. What does that mean like you'll stand up halfway through and explain the rest of this time ago? Alright, so to finish all I started. I'll handle this one, Matt. Right, a bit of Katie Perry and music together.

This is, oh, films together. films together anyway you got good it's got another new with katie perry that's just a little clue there here is the report welcome to the show everybody thanks so much for coming did you write that down i don't write i don't write i don't hardly write out of all i've got here is be yourself and bloody knock them dead soldier and that's what i'm gonna do all right roar is a film written directed by and starring noel marshall a man who had previously done none of those things. Yes!

He had been an executive producer on some successful films though, including The Exorcist, which is a big hit. You know that one? Yeah, and so he was an executive producer. Yes. Cool. Here's the film's overview from Rotten Tomatoes.

Wildlife Preservationalist, well, I've added a syllable in there, anyway. Hank lives harmoniously alongside... Oh boy. Be yourself, soldier. All right. Lives harmoniously alongside a menagerie of untamed animals, including cheaters, elephants, lions and tigers

on a preservation in the African plains. When his wife and children arrive for a visit, a long brewing battle for dominance between two lions erupts and threatens their very lives. Is his wife one of the lions? All right, I've become very attached to this lion while you've been away. You will have to fight to the death,

and I will continue to be married to the winner. Right, okay. Is this the one? Is that the one? It feels like those are two different things that have happened, and they just, they're just, oh, wow. Yeah, it's happening to me now too. They just, they happen to be at the same time, you know?

Yeah, yeah. Dave, could you carry this one, do you? We are not doing well. Hi, everyone. I'll take it from here. Katie Perry was born in 1980 I think she's about that old I'll just whip up a report about Katie Perry off the top of my head

I think her parents are nuns or something and she was a gospel singer and then decided to be sexy and that works so fast forward to now she cut her hair short people didn't like that for some reason and now Taylor Swift's back on top so

happy birthday So happy birthday is a good way to end I know you say birthday people applaud it's like oh this is good remember that man Are you adding notes? Yeah 100% Look forward to that

Alright that better fucking work I did not have a strong finish so that will Don't get us home at the end Noel cast his family in the film His wife, Tippy played his wife. His stepdaughter, Melanie, played... No, you're going past Tippy? You're just going to skip over a name like Tippy

and not expect this kind of reaction. We've been doing this for three years. You thought you could drop a name like Tippy, and I wouldn't react. I, look, honestly, I didn't notice. I didn't mean a Skippy Tippy, but that just... This isn't the same Tippy as Tippy Hedron. It is.

The Alfred Hitchcock. Star of many of his films? Yeah, it is. Including the birds. Tippy. Tippyhedron, yeah. Tipy. Let me just delete a little paragraph from...

Tippy! That's weird, it's almost like I left out a surname on purpose. Hoping you'd think it was a different tippy. Oh man, that's great. Are there any tippies in? That would make my day. That would be nice. That would be nice.

That would be nice. Tippy. Tippy, in Australia, if you're called Tippy, that's your of a tip rat. Anna's not a positive, but there's an old Saints player as known as Tippy. Anyway. Tip rat. Regularly play golf with a Tippy. Yeah?

That's one of the weirdest lies I've ever made. Top five, I reckon. So, Tibby his wife, played his wife. Stepdaughter Melanie played their daughter. Melanie? I'm just saying, like, that's a character's name. as well. Keep going. That's not the same Melanie.

I don't know. Could have you any Melanies? Griffith. Melanie Griffith. That's not Melanie. Yes, it is. What? 100% that's Melanie Griffith. I can't tell if you fuck them with me or not.

Yeah, it is. Well, it's funny because I, like, I went back and I deleted both of their surnames. I'm like, I'll reveal it as I go through. The first one I definitely stood on your toes there But the second one, I was just clutching for any Melanie Tippy isn't that common, so that's fair That's funny

Well, tipy's Melanie's mum Cool Anyway So they were both already actors So that made some sense But they also cast a couple of their sons in the film And they weren't actors, but Bloody hell

What were their names? John and something else That's not John Malkovich I don't think so, no. Okay. To go along with the real family casting the film, real animals played the animal parts. Oh.

Wow, that sounds pretty dangerous. Yeah, yeah. Were they typecast or were they... Yeah, they had lions as lions. Etcetera. I mean, give them a challenge, you know? Yeah, I know. There were no camera tricks.

Some people think there were like, there was a lot of post... work but it was all just real for it. I mean it's hard. Can you believe the things that I saw are real? Whoa! Because they were pretty for on. What did you see? There was like lions there jumping on them and... Right. On people? Yeah. Melanie Griffiths. That's not the same Melanie doesn't work anymore, okay? The human cast and crew were all right. At their jobs or pretty good director?

Really sure what I meant by that. I mean, we wouldn't call it the best boy. He's more like an alright boy. They were alright because they weren't. That's the whole point. They weren't all right. Anyway. The human cast and crew were not all right.

But they were right there with the lions and it was obviously very full on and led to many injuries on set and that's where the most dangerous film tag came from. Right. When the film was re-released in 2015, it was initially released in 1981, it was re-released in 2015, they used the tagline, no animals were harmed in the making of this movie. 70 members of the cast and crew were.

Like, they're so proud of it. Oh yeah. Several of us were mauled, but you animal rights groups can back off because all the animals are fine. George is dead, but anyway. let me take you back to the start. Noel Marshall, the man who came up with the idea for the film, he was born in Chicago on the 18th of April, 1931.

Good year! All right. He developed an interest in animals whilst working at the St. Louis Zoo in his youth, and in his 20s he made the move to Hollywood setting up a talent agency with his first wife, Jay Joseph. Tibby Hedron was born Natalie K. Hedron in Minnesota on January the 19th, 1930.

Her father gave her the nickname Tippy, which is Swedish for little girl when she was a baby. Oh, that's cute. Tippy. Yeah, you piece of shit. It's a beautiful thing. The father did with his daughter. And here you are tonight.

Loving her name. Yeah, no, well done. Tibby moved to New York City, kicking up a successful career as a fashion model. I don't know a fashion model, but probably they're all... Are there other kinds of models? Hand model? Car models, I guess.

Yes. Butt models, sure. Is that what you said? Did you say butt model? Yeah. Are you speaking from experience? Maybe. Maybe.

I prefer a direct answer to be on. Thank you. Butt model. Great. He's how to get business cards after the show. For all your butt needs. Oh, no. Well maybe it's your business card

I'll take one Hey we're in Birmingham You also don't have a butt So that's... Yeah I mean I live through your butt What's yours is mine sir I live through your butt

No but welcome to those who you've never seen us Tibby moved to New York moved to New York City kicking off a successful career as a fashion model I already said. There she met and married a budding Broadway actor Peter Griffiths. Oh Griffiths, I wonder, damn it. Together they had a daughter, Melanie Griffiths. Oh my God, what? What a reveal!

Imagine how much that joy would have given these beautiful people with such poor lives with nothing. Nothing in their day to day. they come out here for a sweet reveal and you take that away from them you tip rat all right together they had a daughter Melanie Griffiths oh my god

I'm rereading nearly every line but was their mother some sort of model yes what kind but the marriage in last though after the divorce

Tippy moved to California where she started picking up acting roles and was signed by Noel Marshall's talent agency The same Noel Marshall as I just spoke of before. Foreshadowing. No, that's post-shadowing.

Post-shadowing. Hedron's role in a television commercial was enough to get the attention of legendary director Alfred Hitchcock. Another sweet reveal. Who signed her to a seven-year deal, landing Hedron the lead role in their 1963 smash hit, The Bird.

Oh, what a reveal! Well, none of us knew that. During the filming, apparently Alfred Hitchcock had live birds thrown at her. She was terrified and they attacked her for real. That was... What a legendary director. A rowing birds. Are the birds alive?

Yes. She's like, I know where to the bathroom. He's like, think quick. Got her on tape. We'll write it in. We'll write it in. Tiki's character walks to bathroom. Think quick.

It's like, that's my childhood, basically. They're quick! People throw in shit out. Yeah. Just being always... But imagine if it was a live bird. I'm not saying it never was. Sorry.

Do you want us to paddle while you chew your eyes? That's not bad. The success of the film helped make Hedron a star. She also won the Golden Globe Award. For best bird copped in the face. They used to be way more niche. Some of the categories. Yeah, the ceremony went for weeks, but bloody hell, she deserved that.

For the most promising newcomer, as well as the Bird in the Face Awards. Despite the film's success, working with Hitchcock was a nightmare for Hedron. What do I? Well, apart from copying birds of the face, according to Biography.com, Hitchcock was so angered by her rejection of his advances. Oh. During the filming, that he persistently subjected her to a range of sexual. and mental harassment.

Yeah, he is not a good guy. I didn't know anything about him before reading this. What else did he do? Just a bad guy, he's one of yours. I feel I tell you this every show. We are outnumbered. Stop picking fights with them. We're going to get bashed after the show

for bad-mouthing Alfred Hitchcock. Let's get him! any cockheads in um there were so not that it really matters I mean harassment was harassment but he was well in it was 60s by then

and she was quite so it's like particularly full on and gross yeah after filming mahony together because she's got a seven year contract which is so weird too back then there was a lot of like studio contracts that you just worked for that studio and it's not like they had role in mind for you. It's like, you're ours.

Very weird. So now she's stuck working with him. It's a different time. I guess in a pre-9-11 world, you will... We were more naive back then. Contracts went longer and, you know, things were different, but then it all came tumbling down.

You were implying that 9-11 saved Hollywood? That is also a top-five weird lie. Sometimes I start a sentence and don't quite know where it's going to end. That was not an example of that. That was very well thought out. After filming Marni together the following film they did,

the harassment continued, but Hedron refused to work with Hitchcock again because of it. This apparently led to Hitchcock setting out to ruin her career. According to Biography.com, it says he was successfully able to do this for a while, stop her getting roles, holding her to the contract and bad mouth and that sort of stuff.

Great. He sounds like he's really mentally very well. Yeah. Very secure. We're talking about a guy he throws birds. Hey, to be fair, he else think quick first.

A bit of fun. Fair warning. But she used her newfound star power to land some roles on TV, which was sort of able to get around the contract. Hitchcock eventually gave up and in 1966 he sold her contract to Universal Studios. Oh.

Now, I don't know if you know about 1996, but that was a very good year. The Saints in the VFLA, I felt one, they're one and only premiership. They haven't been able to climb that mountain again, but, you know, they're still there. They're still batten away. You are speaking a different language to the earth. So you, you, English? Yes, C. She said C, so.

Also, England brought the trophy home or some shit. Amongst all this, Hedron also married her agent, Noel Marshall. The man from before again. Now out from Hitchcock's contract, Hedron started working films again, including in Charlie Chaplin's final film, which was called David, you know, who did one of you did a report on Charlie Chachlan?

Chapman. Just it. What was his last film? Or name any of his films. Can you remember any? The Great... Clock. War? Dictator. Great dictators, what I said. We call them clocks.

Oh, okay. Yeah, it was a different title of Australia. That's right. His final film, as director was, called A Countess from Hong Kong and she starred alongside Marlon Brando and Sophia Lauren. It was a flop. Despite all that. That's huge star and obviously not very good

apart from that. So unfortunately it was a flop and her work started drying up up a bit but during this period Hedron and Marshall began working together a bit more including a few films that were shot in Africa and whilst there they saw a pride of lines who seemed to have taken up residence in an abandoned

house. This is where the That's pretty good. It's kind of like the home alone. She's gone. She is gone. Anyway, what did I lose them? Somewhere along there. Anyway, that's fine.

So they saw these lines take up a residence in an abandoned house and this is where the idea for them doing a film about a scientist living in a house with big cats came from. Where do people get their ideas? Over there. Marshall and Hedron decided that while the film was set in Africa, it would be shot in California and that the cast would be their own family.

Marshall and Hedron casting themselves alongside three of their children, John, Jerry and Melanie. Melanie? Yes. It's weird without the Griffiths. Rather than bringing in adult animals, it was decided that it would be safer for them to raise the animals from infants themselves.

They're really playing the long game for them. They did it all in-house. What? They started collecting animals. There'd be rescues and animals that small zoos couldn't handle anymore and that sort of stuff. So they were picking up cubs of lions and those sort of things. Can you just do that? Just call up a zoo and ask to adopt them.

In the 70s, apparently you could. In California, it was wild-time. So they were getting these young cubs, big African cats. And then tigers and other non-African animals started to be offered to them, and they brought them in as well. I was like, sure, we'll take them all. It's all a bit haphazard. Marshall's son, John, remembers question,

saying recently, I was about 15 when I said, why do we have tigers? There's no tigers in Africa. I would say, why do we have mountain lions? They're from North America. And everyone would go, it's a stupid question.

And that's the end of that quote. It is a bit of a dumb question, isn't it? Just shut up, John. Just basically, shut up, John. There's a John in every family. We've all got one. Your brother's a John, isn't he? No.

Great. Greg. My dad's John. Your dad's John. Everybody needed to know that. Very interesting. It's not at all. Anyway.

Everyone say hi to Jess's dad, John. He listens. He'd love that. Any bit of attention. He would love it. He would love it. And if you want to tweet him, it's at Jess's dad John. Strange, straight handle, but that's his...

Yeah, he's very proud of me and not my brother. His other account is... Are you Michael's dad? No. And not Mike's dad. Sorry. Just wanted to help. Do you guys stop talking as soon as I have a sip? I did not on purpose.

I mean, it's your report. We're kind of following you here. John did see some benefits. And this isn't Jess's dad. This is back to the John from the story. John You'll need to say that every time you mention John from this point out

Ideally I could just say it now and that it'll count for it Oh I'll be confused John did see some benefits To looking after these exotic animals So saying Had this tiger that I absolutely loved Called Nicky

I would take him down to the local Luncheon Bar place And girls would go Oh my God Can I plan with your tiger And he'd say Well not right now But if you're giving me your phone number

That's a John quote Your dad is a slick operator I think I If I saw someone walking down the street With a tiger I'd call the police Yeah I'd be like

That person's stolen a tiger You know I wouldn't be like Oh That's how I flirt Yeah Very very successful Yeah

You wouldn't say Oh my God Come up I'm playing again I'd say like that Yeah Okay. Can I blame with you on tying up?

They'd call the police. As the cats began growing in size and number, an animal control officer started to visit the marshals and be like, hey guys, who you got lions, neighbors are saying you got lions, they got little kids and they're worried the lions are going to eat the little kids. And then the family would grab all their lines

and throw them over the back fence. So the dad would go to the door when the doorbell rang and that apparently happened enough they had a system. They'd all run with the lions and tigers and throw them over the back fence and their dad had stole for a big one. No, what are you...

I don't know what you're talking about. They're like, not around here. What a weird question? Thanks so much for coming. No, I don't know what you mean. Ah! Ah! Ah! And then they'd jump over the back fence and just be like,

shh, little tiger. And then they'd go and he'd come back and it happened again and again. Eventually they're like, yeah, we got lions. And the girl's like I mean I know I mean you take this tiger

to brunch every morning And you've got big windows At the back of your house I can see your children Throwing tigers No Nah Nah not us

So eventually it was like Well okay You're gonna have to get I'm giving you 24 hours You've got to get rid of your Tigers and Lions and Cougars and Cheaters 24 hours is not enough help

So they very quickly bought a property So this was in Los Angeles suburb where they were Like a highly populated area And it was illegal to have tigers and lions Oh, it was In a highly populated suburb You know, they'd have a lion Oh God, tell you what, all this government red tape

That's right The Nanny State And the whole time they could just afford to have a big property. And they only bought it when the police said, you've got to buy a big property. Yeah, yeah, pretty much. That is that right?

So I bought a larger property in Santa Clarita and took the animals there. According to Entertainment Weekly, principal photography started on October 1st, 976, at Santa Clarita, which is where most of the movie was filmed. By this point, the animal cast numbered 132 lions, tigers, leopards, cougars and jaguers.

And they had this, a normal house like weeks earlier this is now that oh not weeks it was a little while in between time blew out for a few months in between

and I was still collecting more and then they started breeding so there's a lot like so it's fun you watch some of the shots and it's just like it looks like a river flowing past of animals

it's pretty cool they also had a 10,000 pound bull elephant named Timbo which Marshall and Hedron acquired from an animal park in Canada. The shoot was scheduled to last six months but stretched to three years and then again on to another couple years to five years.

And aren't there kids in it? They'll be growing up over five years. Yeah, they had to give them haircuts and stuff to make them look younger. Chop off their feet and ankles. But no animals were hard. That's right. Also partly due to different shutdowns on set,

the budget ended up ballooning out to $17 million. This is in the 70s. Basically an independent film. They had to sell horses and other things to fund it. How many horses do they sell? 17 million. 17 million horses. Dollar each.

It's a fire sale. She just made a horse film. Think about it. She had that many horses. As well as financial troubles. Shooting on the film was often also delayed by injuries to cast and crude. Let me tell you about some of them.

John Marshall has explained, you're fine with lions and tigers as long as you don't show any fear. The problem is that the plot required us to show fear. And they did not think of that. Yeah, but can't you just explain to the line, I'm acting. So they'd grown up with these lions and tigers

and taught them to respect them. They were kind of, that were the alphas of the pride. but then they started to act like they were betas or whatever, beta boys. And so it really confused the animals and made them start to behave a bit differently. It said that there were more than 70 attacks on cast and crew.

Some of these incidents include. During shooting, John Marshall, the son, was walking with a lion when he tripped, landing face down in high grass. The lion walking with him jumped on him and closed its mouth over John's head. That is true respect of an answer. If the man falls down, you quickly put your jaws around its head to save him.

Yeah, it thought it was doing mouth to mouth. Yeah, their mouths are bigger than hands. Half a dozen crew members were needed to pull the line off. And once he'd relax, we could get him to let go of the boy. I mean, six people. It's quite impressive, isn't it? It's quite impressive, isn't it?

Oh, we're going to need someone up the back. We need another set of hands. That's why, they are the king of the jungle. Wow. So when his head came out, John looked up to see his blood on the lion's teeth. Did he apologise? No apology, and Marshall required 56 stitches in his head. 56.

You reckon she'd get one less or four more? Just has got this weird thing about round numbers and she won't stop hanging on about it. I can't fully explain it either. But come on. I don't know. Just pop in four more. Unnecessary stitches.

They're not going to hurt. Yeah, I think they will hurt. Have you ever had stitches? No. Would it be... Would it be work if I just rounded everything up before I said it? I'll know you're lying. I'm a very good actor.

Okay, yeah, if you could do that. I'll read that last line again. Marshall required 60 stitches. Seems about right. All right, okay. I can do that. Melanie Griffiths quit mid-production telling her mum,

I don't want to come out of this with half a face. She had a brilliant film career and she didn't want it. She had a feeling that the film industry required her to have a face. All about the face. Right. She wants to quit while she's ahead. I've still got three quarters of the face.

I'll stop now. She did it after a couple of lines brawled in front of her. It's like, oh, I'm out. I'm out. A replacement actor was found. It was one of her friends. And they shot a bunch of stuff with her. But then Griffith decided she wanted to come back a while later.

And they reshot those scenes. But some scenes in the film was still seen with the other. the other actor in the place of the daughter. So if you're a keen eye, you'll be like, ah, she changed briefly. After she returned, her fear kind of came true

with Griffith being moulded by a lioness and she had to get plastic surgery and 20 odd stitches. How many? 23. That's a dumb number. It's Michael Jordan's number, man. Yeah. Shane Warn's number.

Oh, yep. That's getting better. Dean Rice's number. Yeah, these are getting better with each one. Who's the Aston Villa number 23? No one comes to these shows and shit about sport, do you? Not Villa. Not Villa. You're a Birmingham City Man. Who's your number 23?

I mean, you can literally say any name. What's your name? Rob. Rob. 23. Yeah, number 23. Kicks a bunch of girls, that guy. And he's got a cool beard.

Hedron also had a leg broken. Hedron, the mom, Tippy, had her leg broken when she was bucked off the back of the elephant before being crushed beneath it. Get on the elephant. And don't get under the elephant. Both. Very important pieces of advice.

That's good advice. Don't get under an elephant. This next bit is, makes, Anyway, they had a safe word on the production. The elephant definitely respected that. Oh no! Beans! Take my leg off of you there? I was going to go for pineapple.

Oh. It's one syllable. Beans. Yeah, good call. You're not like it's too difficult. The safe word was null. That's confusing. And is he also the director? Yes.

So anytime you want to address the director, you're saying the safe word. But his character's name is different. So it'd be weird for you to say in a take, the director's name. Sure. Okay. So it's basically them saying, I want out of this scene.

This is getting too full on. No. No. Then Noel would call cut, and they'd rescue the actor. That was the... But he had to say cut. Can't ruin a good take.

It's not implied. So there's lots of shots that just end and someone yelling, no. Cut to a different scene. How weird. Who's Noel? They never mentioned a null. That is, at least, what Noel said would happen.

During one scene, his stepdaughter, Melanie Griffith, was being pinned down by a lion, and the lion was ripping her hair off. She starts yelling, no, no, no, no, no. No. No. And Noel said, keep rolling. This is good stuff.

He didn't cut. Let's just see where this goes. He didn't cut it and that scene ended up making the film. You can hear her saying, Noel. $17 million blockbuster this is. Perhaps comically, Noel Marshall was regularly injured. With Hedron later saying that a wing in the local hospital that should have been named after him, he was there.

there that often. Keying to get back to shooting though he didn't always recover fully before he went back in and that led to complications including needing to be hospitalized for gangrene. Oh no. That's a very... No, yeah. No. No, what a... that's an old school one. I didn't think he got gangrene anymore. I don't. I've left that in the past.

Good for you. Thank you. Made a call on that a little while back. No more for me, thank you. You know what, I think I've had enough gangrene. Director of photography on the film, could be anything, but I want to say, Jan de Bond. Does that ring any bells? He directed big films later. Yeah, it's not the same yonder bont as.

Yarn de bont. He went on to direct... That's our safe word. Yonder bont. Sounds so much like you're having a good time. He went on to direct films such as speed, and Speed 2 cruise control. Speed, one of my all-time favorite films.

Speed is so great. Speed two. One of my least old-time favorite films. He also did Twister and a couple others. So he had a pretty successful... Oh, Yarn de Bond. Never heard that. What about Jan de Bond?

Yes. We'll do with yarn. It's more fun. Yarned de Bonn. Yarned Daubon. He had his scalp ripped off. One of the lions ripped it off his head. No, we all knew where a scalp was.

What's it doing there? That's what the lion said. He said, but no, it's fine. He needed 120 stitches even. Really? 120, very good. There's a photo of him, like, just hair at the front of his head and just scar and, just.

and stitching all around it. That's gross. I use it for a poster. He's not even in the film. Yeah. Afterwards, John Marshall remembers going to the office on set and said, all right, I think we need to get a new director of photography,

obviously, figuring that he would not return after having his scalp ripped off. But amazingly, he came back and finished the film. Why? A couple of stitches, I'll be back in. Why? Feel passionate about it, I guess. Don't feel passionate about it.

Some of the people who love the film love the way it was shot. There's no surprise that he went on to have a success. It's got that yarn de bont feel. Yes, that's right. That classic de bont touch. That touch that we loved in Speed 1, yet hated in Speed 2.

Yeah, the photography was great. The acting was... They just sort of... It was believable that they were terrified. But the lines they were saying it, really watching it is like, what is going on? It's a weird mishmash of a film. Great.

But it is full on. Like there are times where Noel is standing up, he's like standing up to lines and they're going full, pouncing on him, dragging him to the ground, he's got blood coming out, it's all real. I just, anyway, you guys should check it out. I don't think I want to. But it is also like a hard, slow watch as well.

It's weird how much and how little is going on all. the same time. Classic young to bomb. Yeah. But I mean he's cast as the lead actor a guy who was a talent agent. Him. Not an actor.

He knows talent when he's... Yeah. And he sees it every morning in the mirror. Hedron later wrote a book about the making of the film saying that she hoped the film would show the possibilities of human and big cat relationships.

Or the impossibilities? Kind of missed the mark a little bit. Injuries weren't even the end of the film's troubles. The house had to be rebuilt during the shoot as it was destroyed by a flood. There were also fires. And the film kept going over budget, ending up at 17 million. But they often had to halt so Noel could go source some more cash. Go sell another horse.

Put everything on red. He kept winning. The family put everything into the film. even cost Hedron and Marshall their marriage eventually with the couple divorcing a year after the film's release in 1982. When a journalist said it must have been a stressful time, their son John said stressful is kind. Please John.

Oh sorry, great. This is John Marshall. Their son John. Their son John. Right. Not your grandparents' son John. Great. Thank you. John said can we like can we give it like a five minute and then I'll

if I need to fold back in our world I'm so sorry I can't allow that John Marshall the son of Noel said which Noel the safe word Noel he said oh no he said stressful is kind we had floods we had fires every one of us wound up in the hospital

there were times when we would get together as a family and we would go, I think we should give this up. But we never gave it up. I reckon that would have been a night of the conversation every night for five years. He said, it has to do with dealing with lions and tigers. You can't show fear. If you show fear, you're dead.

You have to be stronger than them. You have to be stronger than anything in life. All right, John. Basically, the lion's like, if you don't finish this film, I will mourn you. They're at the hands of the paws of the lions now. That's cute After 11 years

The film was finally completed and release And it was a hit in countries like Japan and Germany 11 years Yeah 11 years So it was about five years for a shoot And then a similar amount of time in post Still trying to get funding and just getting it all done Apparently they'd get an investor would come in

And give them a million dollars And they'd just throw that into their debt Like thank you 11 years though Like we went back to our first Instagram posts the other day And mine was four years ago And I hated it

Imagine looking back at something You started 11 years ago And being like Well time to put that out into the world This piece of shit Wow And then by that time Technology would have come a lot further

And they would have been like You probably could have used fake lions Shit I mean for that much effort and time You'd want it to be the greatest film ever made? Matt, can you confirm, is it the greatest film ever made? See, yes. No one here had heard of it.

I know, imagine that. No one... Oh, sorry, I'd forget. The alternative title is Godfather 2. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, in Japan and Germany, it was called Raw. Godfather 2? Back in the habit? They... Every time. Because of all the debts they had, they hit legal troubles in America.

and struggled to find a way to release it there. After all that, after 11 years, they weren't even able to release it in their own country. Wouldn't their creditors want them to release it so they can at least make some of the money back? Yeah, it's a bit confusing, so probably not quite right. But anyway, Noel kept holding out hope, and he kept trying to make it happen,

right up until he died when he died in 2010 of cancer, but he never saw his dream of it hitting the cinemas in America. But remember, this guy did let his... stepdaughter be mauled by a line. A deal was finally struck between Olive Films, who held the rights and the Alamo Draft House, a chain of cinemas

in America, and in 2015 the movie finally screened in America, debuting at the South by Southwest Festival and also having a limited release. The draft house boss Tim Leagues said of the South West Southwest-West screening, there were gasps,

there was horror, there was laughter. Everyone was on the edge of their seats for the entire film. It's this great little undiscovered treasure that we're hoping to find a whole new audience for. Which they didn't really do. It got a lot of press. People were, like, I mean, it's an amazing story, but not heaps of people saw it. It's become a bit of a cult thing, but really not that many people still have seen it.

And it's, I think they reckon it's made about 2 million of it, 17 million. Let's quickly do the math. That is not a good result. Carry the one. Of the cast and crew, John Marshall seems to be the only one who's really open to talking about the films to these days. Tippy and Melanie sort of want to distance themselves from it. It really sounds like John likes bitching about it.

My dad. My dad likes to bitch about this one. Yeah. That's classic John Perkins. He does sort of have a bit of a love-hate relationship with it though, John. The John son of Noel. saying every time I watch Raw I have nightmares for two or three days

and I watch it every two or three times he goes it's like fuck who thought that was smart but we're part of history no one is ever going to make a movie like this again it's just so fun because I'm alive and I shouldn't be that is fun

it's rated as a cult classic and it's got a pretty positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes Splodometer or whatever it's called, it's 70%. Which is interesting. Here's a couple of the positive reviews. Tom Meek from Cambridge Day said, I honestly can't say Roar is a good film or even a bad one, because it's both.

But I can say there is never a down moment. There is always something to draw you in. And then Simon Abrams from rogeriebert.com said, If you want to see cats chasing people in packs falling over themselves to descend stairwells and jump up trees to swipe a disposable human protagonist you'll probably enjoy raw There's got a lot of spoilers in that one

So that's kind of it for the movie But just a little bit about what Tippy's been up to I quite like Tippy This is from her biography.com article It says that Tippy has continued to act As well as dedicating much of her life to animal activism especially with big cats. She's assisted in their rescue and protection

and has helped purchase land north of Los Angeles to establish the Shambala preserve as a sanctuary. Shambala has sheltered hundreds of rescued animals and Hedron has received numerous awards for her efforts from organizations such as the ASPCA and Wildhaven.

Through all this, she's also kept up her acting career appearing in shows such as murder she wrote Chicago, Chicago, Hope, CSI and Cougar Town. But her main... Didn't even leave a gap there for anyone. But her main passion remains animal welfare. Tibby now distances herself from the film believing that it's not a great message

and that they probably shouldn't be pets. She's done a full 180. So at the start she's like, it'd be great to show that lions and humans should hang out. And in the end, she's like, nah, not a good idea. I mean, we all knew that, and it took her like 30 years to work out. So yeah, the $2 million out of the $17 million budget,

it's obviously not a great result. And some say the production was cut down by the Exorcist Curse, which is a curse that is said to have hit those involved with the hit movie, The Exorcist. And he was, Noel was the executive producer. But obviously that is a topic for another day. So happy birthday. Thank you so much.

Wanted to watch a movie and not wanted to watch the movie so much. Yeah, to be honest, don't tell the audience. but I did not get through it. It was... It was cool, like it was amazing those scenes with just lions and tigers just look like a river of cats. If you can imagine that.

Oh, usually when you want a horse, what you do is you tape a bunch of cats together. Got to get a Simpsons reference in. Thank you, thank you. People complained a couple of nights ago when I didn't get one in, so... Most of that show was me going, all right, back catalog, Simpson, Simpson, Simpson.

Thank you. Yeah, you got there. Well done. We did it. Well done to both of you. You've both accomplished a lot. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, good for you.

Any question. How would have Sidney Scheinberg done this film? Oh, good. I reckon he would have added a chimpanzee. And he would have named it something like Big Bowls and Outer Space. That's just for you and me, obviously. No, not many Scheinberg heads in. No, Shiney's in.

Shini's in. He's got a fan club. Hey, can you, can you... Is Seanberg in tonight? I don't think he is. He doesn't even appear at our live shows. I want them to see what your face looks like. Can you, can you say, um, Raw,

raw, uh, raw's not a great title. Let's rename it. Big balls in space. No, can Sydney, say that. Oh, sorry, can Sydney. Oh, you want Sydney to say that well? say it sure they're pish posh

but... Get ready. And sorry and he'll explain later. I'm Cindy, I'm Cindy Schiperin. I'm so sorry to blacked out for a second. I don't know what happened.

We'll explain later. Yeah, thank you. We'll wind back the film. Oh, I'm looking forward to watching that part. I think that does just about bring us to the end of the show. Legend of gentlemen, please get up for Matt Stewart and the Royal Report. That does bring us to the end of the show. Thank you so much for coming out.

But genuinely, thank you so much for coming out, and we do hope to meet some of you now. But until next week, I think that's it for us. Until then, I will say goodbye. Thank you. After our show in Birmingham. Wow. Still got it.

We're still in the air technically at this stage. Yes. But that was a great show. Yeah. We can say that because we were there. Even though right now we're in the air. Yeah. It was so much fun.

Thanks so much for those who came out to Birmingham. Birmingham. Did I do it? That was pretty bloody good. Especially in the headphones I'm wearing and listening back to it. Thank you. Very good. I think if we come back, we'd definitely come back to Birmingham.

It was such a fun time. I enjoyed it so much. And what a wild story that movie making was. I had not heard any of that. It was fascinating. But then afterwards, I watched a trailer for the movie, and it looks crazy. Completely insane. I love how they, every 10 seconds, they just go roar.

Yeah. Raw. I watched the trailer as well. Very good stuff. And then it lists the injuries that people sustained in the trailer for the movie. Very strange. She's very proud of it. Yeah, you shouldn't be proud of that.

It's the big hook. Lots of people were hurt and you're really bragging about it. It's like the high school bully. You know, he's really proud that he beat up a nerd. The movie itself is proud. Yeah. Yeah, we really took him down. Yeah, we got him.

The bully proud that they mauled a mansk. help. This week's fact quote or question is going to happen right now. Ooh. It comes in from first time fact quote or questioner Jacob Giron or Yaron, let's say Giron. And that's probably not right. But thank you so much, Jacob.

Thanks, Jacob. If you do support us on Patreon, one of the tiers gets you into the fact quote or question segment. And each week we read out a different one. You also get to give yourself a title, and Jacob's given himself the title of which I love a lot. Mr. Muchacho Grande. Oh, I love that.

And he has chosen to offer us a fact. And his fact is this. NBA legend Kobe Bryant once scored 62 points through three quarters of a game. The opposing team had 61. Wow, so he beat the team on his own. That's right. He said, thanks guys. You're the best, and I've never missed a week.

Oh, brag. Just because you're jealous, because you have. Jacob and me are the only two who can... That's right. Only full-time members. Exactly. Unless you can't, Nick Mason's logic that it's only a real episode when he's on it, then... Again, well, then it's you, Matt, and...

Yeah, Mesa's also in. Because you've missed the Mesa episode, and you've missed the Mesa episode. Andy, you've missed a Mesa episode. I was pointing the audience at the third one. Yep. All right. Well, that's this week's back quote or question. Thanks, Jacob.

That's very impressive. Yeah. Kobe Bryant, who's now an Academy Award winner. What? Yeah, there was an animated short film based on something that he wrote. Really? About his basketball career and it won the best animated short. That's cool.

So he has an Oscar. Wow. That's insane. And he also scored 62 points to three-quarter time one time. My PB at basketball is like 26. That's great. Well, it's no, Cove, is it? No, it's not Cove.

You mentioned this on the pod before. Yeah. And that time you're also self-deprecating when obviously 26 points is very good. At the stage, what were you like with four-foot? This was more recently than as a child. Oh, okay. As a kid, I was not scoring 26 points. That's a great adult score or child's school.

What was the last time you played? Like six months ago. Right. Are you going to go back to it or you're retired? No, no, no, I'm going back. I just took this season off because we were going away for like a month. Right, right, right. I do you know you played basketball still?

Yeah. I don't know that. We've discussed this when we've been trying to find a time to record a podcast and I've said, can't do Monday, I play basketball. I assumed that was a lie. Yeah, I thought you were lying as well. We were polite. Thank you for being so polite.

We'd love to come down and cheer you on. I did not invite you. I'd be candidly to be there to cheer you. you on. Okay. I'd love to. I reckon you scored 27 points if we were there. Yeah.

And that really... I reckon I probably would play really well if you came, only because the first time my boyfriend came to watch me play basketball was one of the best games I've ever played in my life. Because I was clearly showing off. I think that's when I scored 26. And then the next time he came, it was my worst game ever. It was terrible.

I had to take myself off the court at one point because I was hyperventilating and I had to sit to lie down on the ground. Really? Yeah, it wasn't good. What a roller. Yeah, so he's seen both my highs and lows. That was quite recent. Yeah.

Wow. 26. So that's, you're hitting your PB at 28. Yeah. The sky's the limit. Yeah. Next season. I'm going for 40.

Yes. 40 in the game, that'd be so good. Yeah. And you'd be happy with that round number too. I would be. 26 is annoying me a little bit, but the points are two, so it count. Anyway, let's thank some people. All right.

I'd love to thank if I may, straight off the bat. These are some Patreon supporters that we're thinking, by the way. If you've never heard this segment before, if you support the show on Patreon, as well as a fat quota question, some people get to be thanked by name for their support. Little shout out. Also, Jess gives us a little, some sort of a game to play with their names. Yes. So today was about Raw, which obviously 70 cast and crew members were injured by animals, mostly lions.

I think we should say what animals these people would be injured by. Not killed. If they were in the film industry, which maybe some of them are. But if you were in the film industry, what would you be molded by? Yeah. Also then we should. So this movie was mainly about lions and that's why it's called Raw. So the animal, we should have the movie name, what it would be called.

Yeah, great. All right. So I'd love to thank firstly from Manhattan in MT, Dave, which is of course Massachusetts. Is that right? I don't know. Oh. I thought you were the geography man. No, my internet isn't working either, so I can't get down.

Is it Montana? Oh. Mary. It's a name of my old house. Montana. Montana. It's a beautiful name. I really like it.

That's cool. It's a nice sounding... I think you just like it because of Hannah, Montana. It is Montana. Nice. Wow. Montana. Manhattan in Montana.

Which borders Idaho and Wyoming. That's cool. I love this about Montana. And who's from Montana? Zane Putinga. Whoa. Oh, Huddinger.

That sounds like a character in a film. Yeah, that's great. Montana. If they were on set, what would Zane be injured by? Kittens. Kittens.

And it'd be obviously then called meow. No, it's called, Meow! You got to say it like that way. That's fun. I was looking on the map. Every 10 seconds in the trailer.

Meow. It's right up, it's really close to Calgary. It's right on the Canadian border as well. Montana. Meow. Oh, look, that's where South and North Dakota are. We're right up there.

Yeah, great. We can look at them up another time. Zane, we're trying to shout out to you, mate. Thank you for your support. And sorry that you got mauled by kittens. Yeah. While working on the film, meow. If you've got cats in the home, just be careful.

Yeah. Oh, cats aren't a problem. Oh, it's just kittens. They grow out of it. Right. They have that dangerous behavior. They maul him until a certain age, at which point he's allowed to live. They decide.

Yeah. I'd also like to thank much, much closer to home for us. In Brunswick, Victoria, I'd love to thank Catherine Trelaw. Oh, hello, Catherine Chalore. I think that you would be attacked by an echidna. Oh, great animal, one of only two monotremes. That's right. Mammals that lay eggs.

Plotipus. being the other. Australia's got both of them. Suck it, rest of the world. Yeah, we did it. We did it. So what would the film be called? I think it would be called.

I mean, does it have to be after their name, the sound they make? It doesn't have to be. Oh, no, that wasn't the sound they make. I just thought the film should be called. I could be. How do you spell that? First, it's, second letter. Third letter.

I really hate keeping eye contact with you while your mouth makes that shape. That's something you got control over. Yeah, true. Now I'm looking at Matt, and I feel better. I could see my peripheral vision. Yeah, I was going to call it Spike. Prick's good. No, let's call it Prick.

Sorry, but I was saying that in a different way. It translates as Prick. You're talking Akidna. So thank you so much, Catherine Trullor and Zane Hottinger. I love that. May I thank some people as well? Please do. Well, I would like to thank from Eaton in Ohio.

Oh, Ohio. God's country itself. Oh, H? That's got to be Ohio, right? Gotta be. Unless it's Oklahoma. Oklahoma. Weather, wind comes from the rain.

Anyway, I'd like to thank Elijah Shelley. That's a nice name. Oh, Shelley, turtles. Attacked by a turtle. That's real good. Yeah. No, not to say turtle. Turtles.

Oh, they gang up on you. Yeah. They have a nasty bite some of them. Yeah. Could it be called? Do they have weird tongues? No, I don't think they do. They probably do.

Some of them can push their tongues out. Ew. All right, what would a film about turtles be called? Snap. Ooh, good one. Great. Matt. I like it.

Great. Thank you so much. That was really good. Thank you. That was good. Mom's going to be chomp and yours is much better. That's better. Have you ever seen the photo of a tiny little baby turtle eating a strawberry?

No. Very cute. It's like the one with a teacup pig wearing gumboots in terms of levels of cuteness. It's very cute for everyone except for Elijah because that gives them flashbacks at the time. Yeah, sorry to bring that up again. Elijah was attacked by a group of hungry turtles. That was mean of me. Elijah was mistaken for a strawberry.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry. Sunburn. But Elijah is a strawberry blonde. We thank you for your service and your bravery. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Oh, thank you so much.

And I'd also like to thank from Cartersville. I'm not sure where, which, what's GA? GA, Georgia, is my guess. Let me have a look here. Georgia. Well done. Certainly not short for Gary. Georgia on my mind.

Carter'sville, I would like to thank Sean Harris. Hello, Sean. Thank you for support over in Georgia. Matt. What sort of animal do you reckon? Sean gets maimed by. Okay. In Georgia, I think of pretty sure that is where the US Masters is from.

and one of the classic winners of the masters is Tiger Woods and who lives in the woods but owls Oh, whoa. And the movie's called Hoot. It's a real hoot. That's funny. We've talked about this off air about show titles that gives critics the opportunity to say,

this was anything but for who. You're opening yourself right up there, but the movie's going to be so good. If I was a film critic though, I would do a bit of a switch. and I'd be like, my final line would be like, now this film is a real good time. But there's like heaps of dots to make people pause.

And they're like, oh, she's going to say, hoot. You turn the page? Oh, good time. Didn't see that coming. Or maybe I'd have a film show and that way I'd be able to say it. It's probably a joke that's a bit funnier. Yeah, that's great. Not in print, but in words.

Don't you agree? Yeah, an oral delight. And thank you to another oral delight. Sean Harris, love hearing your name in my ears. Sean Harris, what a man. What a champ. We chat on Twitter a bit. I'm pretty sure.

Sean, is that right, Sean? Yes. Oh, so, Sean, I didn't realize you're in the room. He just tweeted to say yes. Oh, okay, great. How did he know? We're in the air. I would like to bring us home by thanking a couple of people myself.

And I would like to thank. A supporter of Melbourne Live shows, We met her a few times there, which is always a treat I'd like to thank from Clayton in Victoria, Katie Murphy. Katie! Hello, Katie. Thank you so much for your Patreon and live show support. We do appreciate that a lot. And Jess, Katie, what should she watch out for when she stars in her Hollywood blockbuster?

Snakes. Oh, no. And Australia has lots of fucked ones. Oh, I'm sorry, Katie. You actually do have to watch you back. Somebody at one of our live shows was saying they, he was from Power. And he was like, yeah, I was thinking of coming. I reckon he was.

I think he was from. He was from Paris. I think you can trust this. And he was saying he wanted to come to Australia, just like at a holiday or maybe to live. Was this Joseph? And he said, but is it safe? And I was like, yeah. I mean, we like, don't go out into the middle of the outback by yourself.

Sure. But in a city, you're fine. Yeah. It's hard to just go out. the middle of the outback. That would be quite a lot of effort. Yeah, you don't accidentally end up in the middle of the outback. After several hours of driving and not seeing another person, you'd realize maybe you'd

taken a wrong turn. This is all good advice. I hope you're listening, Katie, because do not do what we're telling Joseph to not do. Yeah, exactly. I think Katie's film. I think Katie's pretty well aware. The film would be called... I think it would be called hiss.

Yeah, it's got to be hiss. Oh, I like it. Yeah. Hiss. Hiss. Lots of things. Yes. Seven?

How many? Seven, do you reckon? Yeah, I'll do his seven for you now. His... That was seven. Just for Jess, I probably ran up to ten. Okay, ten. Katie, your film is...

Perfect. He's really good at that, yeah. That was great. It's kind of like when you're filling up the car with petrol and you try to get it to like an even amount. You want to get it straight on. Some places here, you have to prepay, Matt. Or you go in and pay and then they...

was a petrol attendant that was filling out the car and you asked for 50 pounds worth and you went inside. And Jess and I were... We were watching very closely. He's going to get exactly 50. He's going to rip us off here. He gave us one pence more than 50. We've got a free pee of petrol.

Free peer petrol. Free peat. Free peat. Free peat. Free peat. She'll go to free pee. You know, I think the opening scene of Hiss will be a snake

biting a bike tire. Okay. And that will make a sound a little... Dave, you do it better, but it'll make a sound a little bit like this. And the movie begin. Wow. It's a bit of a rich symbolism to start the film there. And the movie begins.

You actually hear the narrator. Yeah, Matt's the narrator. Anyway, thank you, Katie. Thank you so much. And I'd also like to thank from Gering in what I imagine is New England. I want to double-check this for me. A bit of an N-E. We've gone around the map.

A bit of an N-E. Bit of an N.E. We've gone around the map. I would like to thank from Gering, possibly in New England. Matt, tell me. Nebraska. Ah, you idiot. What is New England? Tell me what New England is then.

New England is not a state. That's Massachusetts. That's that collection of states. Apologize. Idiot. You want me to apologize? I'm sorry. Apologize for my...

From Nebraska. My goodness. From Gearing, Nebraska, if I'm saying that right, I'd like to thank Ethan Parks Parks Just one S Just one S

Dickhead I got you All right Ethan Parks Anybody got a feeling On an animal Parks I mean parks is very evocative

Of like parks And parklands That's what it does to me I know Is that what it's evoking That's what's evoking for me It is evocative And when strolling in England

Through a park You have to, of course, watch out for. Vols. Vols, yes. So do you think that would be what we're talking about here? I think that Ethan has to watch out for voles. I'm not 100% sure on what a vol is. You've googled it already.

They are so small and cute. Oh, so cute. Look at a little vol. Describe a vol just in case Ethan doesn't want. A vol is a small rodent, a relative of the mouse. It's like cute mouse, though. The vol has a stouter body, a short one of those gross hans. The vol has a stouter body, a short.

a hairy tail and a slightly round a head. Smaller ears and eyes and differently formed moulders. Did you say cute mouse? Yeah. I think we have our film title. Cute mouse. Cute mouse. But, I mean, the title is a bit misleading because obviously

Ethan gets moulded by them. Ethan is very, very hurt by them. By one of them too. Not even like a pack of them. He's just really soft. It's a bit embarrassing. One vol who's gone bad. Evil.

Yeah. Could be the rogue vol. It's evolved. Evolved. It's evil and it's evolved. into a blood-sucking vol. Oh, we should make this movie.

You know who should direct it? Yarn de Bont. Oh, Yarn de Bont. It's a master. Oh, what their master. You know how they were saying Noel was their safe word? Yeah.

Can we from now on, instead of no, we'll say null. Instead of yes, we'll say Yarnedabont. Can that also be our safe word though? I love that. Yeah. If you're in trouble, we're going to go and hit the town now

for our final night here in England. We're going to go see a musical on the West End. So if any of us get into trouble, we'll just yell, Yonderbant. And then he'll say, yes, because obviously he'll be there because he's a classy man. Yes. Oh, Yarnedbant. Oh, Yarnedbant.

Hey, Matt, do you want to go get a coffee later? Yonder font. Sorry, are you in trouble? Yeah, so, Dave, you confused this. But I really just want it to be my safe word. Yeah, but mine was cute and whimsical, and you've made it weird. Well, let's make Vowl our safe word. Yeah.

five-star review on iTunes or whatever the thing you use. Yeah, most platforms doze have a rating system. Yeah. And the more love we get, the more it pops up in charts and other people's suggestions. And that's how we find new people. And then suddenly we're touring to places we've never even known. Not everyone can afford to support on Patreon, which is obviously... Absolutely fine.

But if you do have a chance, it'll be a real nice thing you could potentially do. It gives a five-star review. Or even, we've met a few people on this tour who have taken a friend's phone, who didn't know how to podcast, downloaded the podcast app, and subscribed them to us and said, listen to this episode, you might like it. And that actually ended up with some people liking the show so much that they've come and seen us live, which is wild.

Yeah. Totally wild. And also probably a little bit of an invasion of privacy. Yeah, but we're giving you the green light. We have that power. You're welcome. But that does bring us to the end of another episode. And for the final time from London, England, we'll say thank you very much for listening.
