March 2009

Now first let us just say that we're pretty big skeptics when it comes to this sort of stuff... especially when it's an ad... and also with what can be done these days with digital whoozawhatsits and thingamejigs... and Bruce Lee, well he was good, but was he this good?  Judge for yourself.  Either way, it's a pretty cool video... makes us want to break out the ping pong paddles.
 
 

So the news is out... Michael Jackson is making a comeback with ten shows at London's O2 Arena in July. Jacko also hinted that this could be the end of his music career forever, describing the shows as his "final curtain call". He actually said:"When I say 'This Is It' I really mean this is it. I will be performing the songs my fans want to hear. This is the final... the final curtain call, okay - and I will see you in July."
 
Sad, but true. Speaking of sad, we know white guys can't dance because we have no rhythm... and now we're Dads it's worse because we cop the groans from our kids when we try to bust a move on the parquetry. Jacko has to be one of the best movers'n'groovers of all time... but is this a 'white man overbite' we detect from Jacko at his press conference? You be the judge...

Good on ya' Jacko - it proves you're a real Dad with real Dad dance moves. But how things change - check out this crusty video from 1977 with Jacko busting his chops in a fantastic "Buck Rogers"-style silver spacesuit. No 'white man overbite', no 'feeding the chooks' or 'garden sprinklers'...
 

We've had so many requests for replays of our Seth Rogen interview we thought wed just put the whole darn thing up on our web site.  So here it is... and don't forget you can check him out as the voice of B.O.B. in the animated film, 'Monsters vs Aliens', which hits our screens on April 2nd
 
 

This year, Mission Australia celebrates its 150th year working with disadvantaged Australians and Jono's on a mission to help raise some much needed funds. Mission Australia is a non-denominational Christian community services organisation, working tirelessly every day to try and eliminate homelessness; assist families and children to develop a solid foundation for the future; support disadvantaged young people;  and help unemployed people find permanent work.  Just last year they helped more than 330,000 Australians.
 
Mission Australia wants everyday Aussies to experience what it’s like to be voiceless, by not speaking for an hour (or more!) on Friday 15th May 2009; and to seek sponsorship for your silence. The intitiative is called HUSH and that's what Jono's signed up for - can you believe it?! An hour of silence... Jono! We don't think he can do it, but either way it's a cracking idea and Jono needs your support.  Follow this link www.everydayhero.com.au/jonathan_coleman to find out more and how you can become a sponsor of the great man.  Cheers, Dano.

On the show today we were talking about how NASA wants help naming its 'new room' on one of their space stations. We think 'The Penthouse' sounds like a pretty good name (imagine the views from up their).So go to NASA and enter your name suggestion in the box (besides why should we have all the fun)!

If you missed the show this week.. here's what happened!

Kevin James, star of the hit TV series "King Of Queens" and the new movie "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" joined us for a chat.  Hear our interview with Kev here:
 

If you missed any of this weeks show... here are some highlights!!
 

Bob Dylan gave a rare performance of his song Billy during a weekend club date in Stockholm.  How rare was it?  Dylan hadn’t played it since the original recording on the Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid soundtrack in 1973.  It’s only the audio, but you can hear the version here:
 

Today on the show you would have heard us get flogged in a game of tennis by 72 year old Lorraine Bayly (The Sullivans, Carson's Law etc). The tennis challenge came about when Lorraine revealed to us that she is competing in the 2009 World Masters Games in Sydney. We thought that if it was the two of us vs her, surely we would win... WRONG. We got thrashed.
 
Also, to ensure that the game was all 'above board' we roped in the help of Michael Caton to be the match referee. Getting Michael involved was the best decision we've made in a while, as we only won 1 out of the 7 games and this was when Michael gave us a hand on the court! His tennis skills were so good we think he should star in a new show 'Pat to the Rafters'.
 
Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure...

Dano looks the part- it's a shame this didn't translate onto the court!:

 
Caton joins in to save the day! Dano is ready, but what is Jono thinking about?

 
Lorraine wins 6 to 1 and here she is after the game with Jono, Dano, Michael and HER trophy:
