08:01portrait Jimmy's Ghost Re ICU bought his
08:03odd little movie loving kid a piece of
08:05Hollywood's Golden Age.
08:07My parents didn't even pay for my Film School
08:09degree and technically i haven't paid for it
08:11yet either.
08:13Alright so what is in the deal
08:15for Paramount?
08:16Well they're buying CNN, they're buying HBO,
08:19they're buying some of the biggest showbiz
08:21franchises including
08:22the greatest American franchise of them all.
08:25Tens of billions of dollars
08:27worth of corporate debt.

08:48التحضير
08:49موجود
08:49يعمل
08:50so much, incrementally
08:52more, Charlie.
08:53That's a good point, well made.
08:55But aren't there laws against these kinds of
08:58massive mergers? How is this
09:00even getting through regulators?
09:01Well, if you're trying to suggest that Trump,
09:04a good personal friend of the Ellisons
09:05and the notorious hater of CNN
09:08is in any way behind
09:10this, well, as someone who currently
09:12holds a foreign press US visa,
09:14I have no comment on such
09:16a thing.
09:17How very diplomatic of you, Alexei.
09:19but it's fair to say you're not in support
09:22of this deal. I'm a freaking film critic, dude.
09:24Not a finance freak. The mergers
09:26I want to talk about are Godzilla vs. Kong,
09:28Freddy vs. Jason
09:29or Abbot and Costello meet
09:32Frankenstein. And I'm having
09:33to be trotted out and do appearances like this
09:35just to communicate how shit this crap is
09:38because corporate growth and greed
09:40demand it and the victim, as always,
09:42ends up being art, artists
09:43and the audience that appreciate them. And all I want
09:45to do, all I want to do is just talk about the films I
09:48love. Well, have you seen anything
09:49good recently? Yeah, I have.
09:52Well, unfortunately, that is all we have time
09:54for tonight.
09:55You can catch him touring the country
09:58now with his comedy show VHS.
10:00Would you please thank Alexei Joliopoulos?
10:09Coming up
10:10in a tick for hilarious Anne Edmonds and
10:12Kitty Flanagan. Join me at the desk to preview their
10:14brand new ABC sitcom and Rhys Nicholson
10:16asks, could prison be the key
10:18to curing burnout? But first,
10:20with so many enormous international
10:22calamities to cover this season,
10:24we've neglected one of our absolute
10:26favourites closer to home. So,
10:28for the season finale, we welcome back
10:30Toto Albanese, the nation's
10:32most powerful dog.
10:34It's one of Australia's
10:36favourite TV favourites.
10:38A behind-the-scenes look at one of the
10:40country's most powerful men
10:41and his loyal and frankly pretty
10:43annoying dog. This is a
10:46brand new episode of Albo's
10:48f***ing dog.
10:49Episode 6. Where in the world
10:52is Toto?
10:53As you know, Albo used to go
10:55everywhere with his f***ing dog, Toto.
10:58We're doing a calendar of
11:00Toto and other world leaders.
11:02And he'd let her sniff the finest
11:03butts in the country.
11:06They even took a trip together to the
11:08Swiss Alps, where Toto had a
11:10wonderful time, but she got too
11:12excited and tried to grab the wheel.
11:14Toto, no!
11:18But lately, Albo had ditched Toto and
11:21had been going everywhere on his own,
11:23taking selfies with fans.
11:25The last time anyone had seen Albo's
11:28f***ing dog in public was on an
11:29episode of The Weekly with Charlie
11:31Pickering, being threatened by a big
11:33f***ing ginger.
11:35Really, I want to get her put down.
11:36Oh!
11:37So while Albo was playing the man about
11:39town, his f***ing dog was locked up
11:42in her room at the Albanese mansion
11:44on the Central Coast.
11:46Forced to watch TV all on her own.
11:48My fellow Australians.
11:51My name's Anthony.
11:53And Albo was on every channel.
11:56Don't tell Toto.
11:58Let me out, Albo!
11:59And the word had gotten out that Toto was
12:02locked up.
12:03You're a monster!
12:04And people were starting to protest.
12:06Free Albo's f***ing dog!
12:08And the protest movement was really
12:10taking off.
12:11Free Albo's f***ing dog!
12:13Free Albo's f***ing dog!
12:16Free Albo's f***ing dog!
12:18What will happen on the next episode
12:20of Albo's f***ing dog?
12:22You decide.
12:23Call 1300-FREE-TOTO
12:25if you want the Prime Minister to let
12:27his f***ing dog out of her room
12:28and get back to taking her everywhere
12:30he f***ing goes.
12:32Find out on the next episode
12:34of Albo's f***ing dog.
12:38To Sunday.
12:40And we finally heard from
12:41Australia's most high-profile defendant.
12:44Australia's most decorated soldier,
12:46Ben Robert Smith,
12:47has just been granted bail.
12:49I can promise everybody
12:52that I have never run from a fight
12:54in my life.
12:54The 47-year-old has just been released
12:57from Silverwater Correctional Centre
12:59under strict conditions.
13:01He can't leave the country,
13:02can only travel to Sydney or Perth.
13:04He'll have to report to police
13:05three times a week
13:06and he's not allowed to own
13:08more than one phone
13:09and one computer.
13:10One phone and one computer.
13:12Brutal.
13:13Although the judge placed
13:14no limit on the number of USBs
13:16he can bury in the backyard.
13:19But his release on bail
13:20did carry a hefty price tag.
13:22The bail today was set at $250,000.
13:26His parents have agreed to pay for that.
13:27If the SAS veteran breaches
13:29any of these conditions,
13:31his dad, Len, is on the hook
13:32for a quarter of a million dollars.
13:35His parents had their own bail conditions
13:37that the $250,000
13:38covers both his birthday
13:40and Christmas presents.
13:42But having secured bail,
13:44the drama wasn't over for BRS.
13:46This was Ben Robert Smith
13:48stepping out of Silverwater.
13:50What should have been a routine release
13:52quickly turns into a covert operation.
13:56A waiting photographer's car is obstructed
13:58but determined to get his shot,
14:00he makes a run for the car
14:02that stopped at an intersection.
14:04One flash after another
14:05until Ben Robert Smith
14:07turns on a wry smile,
14:09giving a thumbs up.
14:10You know, I've got to say,
14:12as far as custody release photos
14:13taken through a car window go,
14:15it could be a lot worse.
14:21Let's move into Monday
14:22and our favourite quasi-royals
14:24had left the country
14:25after a jam-packed Aussie tour.
14:27Harry and Meghan have drawn cheers
14:29and applause,
14:30winning hearts
14:30as they began their whirlwind
14:32Australian visit
14:33right here in Melbourne.
14:34An early morning touchdown
14:35at Tullamarine
14:36among some very surprised
14:38fellow passengers.
14:39Everyone was very excited
14:41to see them on board.
14:42I've never seen anybody
14:43look so refreshed
14:44getting off a flight from the US.
14:45They were super friendly
14:46around the toilet areas
14:47when they went to the toilet.
14:48Yeah.
14:50Super friendly
14:51around the toilet areas.
14:54Absolutely.
14:56Eyes down,
14:57no small talk,
14:59zero splashback,
15:00class act all the way.
15:03The main event
15:04on the itinerary
15:04was Meghan's
15:05$3,000 Ahead
15:06Women's Retreat
15:07for those with issues
15:09including having
15:10exactly $3,000
15:11too many dollars.
15:13Meghan is right now
15:14at the Her Best Life
15:15Women's Wellness Weekend
15:18here at the
15:21Intercontinental Hotel
15:22rather.
15:23Ah yes,
15:24the Incontinent Hotel
15:27where they're always
15:28super friendly
15:28around the toilet areas.
15:31But while the Sussexes
15:32were out winning
15:33hearts and minds,
15:34I couldn't help notice
15:35the haters in the media
15:36were harder to win over.
15:37I don't really care
15:38about Harry and Megs,
15:39don't really follow them
15:40but I find them
15:41very divisive.
15:42Australia was good
15:43to Harry and Megan,
15:44now they want to use us
15:45as an ATM.
15:46These guys are
15:47grifters par excellence,
15:49I call them the ginger
15:50and the whinger.
15:51Boom!
15:52You just got credlin'd.
15:55While they tell us
15:56that they hate
15:57having to talk
15:58about Harry and Megan,
15:59they all just keep
16:00talking about Harry
16:01and Megan
16:02just because they
16:03need the eyeballs.
16:04But then,
16:05out of nowhere,
16:06there came a moment
16:07of unexpected introspection.
16:09If this thing
16:10was sold out,
16:12we'd be sitting here
16:13saying,
16:13what fools
16:14buying tickets?
16:15Now it's not sold out
16:16so we sit here
16:17saying,
16:17ha ha ha,
16:18it didn't sell out.
16:19Does that not say
16:20a bit more about us
16:21than it does about Megan?
16:23Wow.
16:25Is that
16:25self-awareness?
16:28After years
16:29of harassment,
16:30is it possible
16:31that the media
16:31is learning
16:33empathy?
16:34Do we really feel
16:35better because she's failing?
16:36Yes.
16:37No, you're right.
16:37Stuff it.
16:38Yeah, absolutely.
16:40Still to come,
16:41Margaret Pomerantz
16:42demands a refund
16:42from the Home Shopping Network
16:44and Rhys Nicholson
16:45heads to the big house
16:46to get a big rest.
16:47But first,
16:48our guests tonight
16:49are two of Australia's
16:50funniest comedians
16:51who've teamed up
16:52for the new ABC comedy
16:53Bad Company,
16:54set inside a theatre company
16:56facing financial ruin.
16:58Would you please
16:58welcome back
16:59Anne Edmonds
17:00and Kitty Flanagan.
17:05Welcome back.
17:06Welcome back.
17:06The show
17:08Bad Company
17:08is hilarious.
17:10Kitty,
17:10you play
17:11a cruel
17:11and ruthless
17:12I'd say
17:13administrator
17:14brought in
17:14to save
17:15a struggling
17:15theatre company
17:16and Anne,
17:17you play
17:18the passionate
17:18artistic director
17:19who wants to
17:20stop her
17:21no matter what.
17:22Let's have a little look.
17:23I've been the artistic
17:24director here
17:24for six years
17:25and I'm in charge
17:26of absolutely
17:27everything
17:27except the boring
17:28financial stuff.
17:30But I'm also
17:31a storyteller.
17:32I'm a truth custodian.
17:34I'm a disruptor.
17:35I'm a witch.
17:36I'm a feminist.
17:37I'm a mother.
17:39My work is
17:40constantly grappling
17:41with the universality
17:42of our biological
17:43make-up
17:44combined with
17:45a collective
17:45sense of the sublime.
17:47Sorry,
17:47what is that?
17:48Welcome to the arts,
17:50basically.
17:52So,
17:52Margie,
17:53your character,
17:54is described
17:55as wildly confident
17:56but mildly unstable.
17:58Yeah.
17:58How much of that
17:59is autobiographical?
18:00Well,
18:01she's quite different
18:01to me because
18:02I'm completely
18:02unstable.
18:03Right,
18:04okay.
18:04She's just mildly.
18:05Is this a familiar
18:06person to you though?
18:07Have you met
18:09Margie's in various
18:10theatre companies
18:10over the years?
18:11That's name and shame.
18:14It's Kitty.
18:16No,
18:17well,
18:17obviously I work
18:18in the arts,
18:18I work in the
18:19entertainment industry
18:19so I'm very familiar
18:20with deluded,
18:22vain people.
18:24And it's good
18:24to see you again.
18:25It's wonderful
18:25to have you back
18:26on the show,
18:26yeah.
18:27Absolutely.
18:28So,
18:28Kitty,
18:29your character,
18:30when Anne told you
18:31that you were
18:32going to play
18:32something of a cruel,
18:34heartless tyrant
18:35of a character,
18:37how did that
18:37make you feel?
18:39Well,
18:40I was just
18:41delighted that
18:42there was no nudity.
18:44Right.
18:45I tried
18:46but she didn't
18:47want to...
18:47And on the other
18:48hand,
18:48there's a whole
18:49ep where she's
18:50all nude
18:50all the time.
18:51And now,
18:52if you want,
18:52I will...
18:55Oh!
18:56I'm being told
18:58we'll have to
18:58bump it up
18:59from PG to MA
19:00but we're happy
19:00to do it.
19:01We're absolutely
19:01happy to do it.
19:03So,
19:03Kitty,
19:03this is your
19:03first time
19:04back at the
19:05weekly desk
19:05in quite a while.
19:06Are you getting
19:07PTSD coming
19:08into the studio?
19:09Not at all,
19:09Chuck.
19:09I have missed it
19:10because,
19:11you know what,
19:11I don't have a
19:12public megaphone
19:12for my opinions
19:13anymore and I've
19:14got so many
19:16opinions.
19:17And I've got a few
19:18opinions as well.
19:19Oh,
19:19yes,
19:19please,
19:20Is Trump that
19:21bad?
19:24so tell me,
19:25you were both
19:26experienced touring
19:27comedians but you've
19:27both also worked in
19:28theatre.
19:29What is the main
19:30difference between
19:30comedy and theatre?
19:32I would say that
19:33in comedy we're so
19:35insecure never would
19:36we give anyone the
19:37chance,
19:38like an interval,
19:39the chance to
19:39leave.
19:40Right.
19:41Do you know what I
19:41Like never would we
19:42give people 20
19:43minutes to think
19:43about the show
19:44and go,
19:44oh,
19:44no,
19:44no.
19:45It's like we lock
19:45them in,
19:46don't we?
19:46That's crazy.
19:47Yeah,
19:47I've been to so
19:48many theatre shows,
19:49never seen the
19:50second half because
19:51they give me,
19:52they give me that
19:53option.
19:54It's like don't
19:54give me that
19:55option.
19:56It's madness.
19:57The show is Bad
19:58Company,
19:59it premieres this
20:00Sunday at 8.15pm
20:01on ABC TV,
20:02you can also check
20:03it out on
20:03iView.
20:04Would you please
20:05thank Anne Edmonds
20:06and Kitty Flatt again?
20:12Let's roll through
20:13to Tuesday and
20:14there was further
20:14escalation in
20:15Donald Trump's
20:16endless,
20:17pointless and
20:17politically damaging
20:18conflict.
20:19And by that I
20:20mean his fight
20:21with the Pope.
20:21President Trump
20:22lashing out at
20:23Pope Leo,
20:24of course the
20:24first American
20:25Pope,
20:26after the Pope's
20:26comments on the
20:27war in Iran.
20:28His tirade against
20:29Pope Leo,
20:30accusing the head
20:31of the Catholic
20:32Church of being
20:33quote,
20:33weak on crime
20:34and terrible for
20:35foreign policy.
20:36Why did you
20:37attack Pope Leo
20:38on truth social?
20:41I don't think
20:41he's doing a very
20:42good job.
20:43He likes crime,
20:44I guess.
20:45Wait,
20:46do you think
20:47the Pope's job
20:48is to fight crime?
20:50like he's not
20:51a superhero.
20:52I mean just
20:53because he wears
20:54a cape and
20:54drives the
20:55Pope-mobile.
20:57But the Pope
20:58or Pope-man
20:59didn't back down
21:00openly criticising
21:02people who use
21:03Jesus to justify
21:04war and in
21:05response Trump
21:06posted this.
21:07The US
21:08President
21:08portrayed as
21:09the Son of
21:10God
21:10criticised as
21:12blasphemy
21:12before being
21:13removed.
21:14The US
21:15President has
21:15deleted an AI
21:17image from his
21:17social media
21:18that showed
21:19him to
21:19appear as
21:20Jesus.
21:21He's now
21:22said he
21:22wasn't
21:23depicting
21:23himself as
21:24Jesus.
21:24I did post
21:25it and I
21:25thought it
21:26was me as
21:26a doctor
21:27and had to
21:28do with
21:28Red Cross
21:29as a Red
21:29Cross worker
21:30there which
21:30we support.
21:31It's supposed
21:32to be me as
21:32a doctor
21:33making people
21:34better and
21:35I do make
21:35people better.
21:36I make
21:36people a lot
21:38better.
21:38Sir, just
21:39because you
21:40go around
21:40touching people
21:41doesn't mean
21:42you're a
21:42doctor.
21:50Although it
21:51might qualify
21:51you to be
21:52a cardinal.
21:56And while
21:57eventually
21:58Trump did
21:59delete the
21:59pic he
22:00very soon
22:00posted another
22:01image in
22:02its place.
22:03The President
22:03saying he's
22:04not a big
22:05fan of the
22:05Pope and
22:06today reposting
22:07this AI
22:07generated image
22:08of the President
22:09hugging Jesus
22:10Christ.
22:11And well
22:11done to
22:12Trump for
22:12removing a
22:13religiously
22:14offensive image
22:14and replacing
22:15it with one
22:16where he
22:17and Jesus
22:17look super
22:18horny for
22:18each other.
22:21I'm looking
22:22forward to
22:22their remake
22:23of the
22:23sensual
22:2490s classic
22:24Holy Ghost.
22:30That image
22:31is obviously
22:32fake.
22:33There's no
22:33way Trump
22:33would hug
22:34a man
22:34from the
22:35Middle East.
22:38Coming up
22:38in a moment
22:39could
22:39incarceration
22:40hold the
22:40key to
22:41getting a
22:41proper rest
22:42but first
22:42from the
22:43moment we
22:43saw a
22:44knife cut
22:45through a
22:45shoe
22:45we've been
22:46happy to

22:50But what
22:51happens when
22:51Australia's
22:52premier cultural
22:53critic is
22:54forced to

25:37I'm Margaret
25:38Pomerantz.
25:39Good evening.
25:46And so we
25:47arrive on
25:48Wednesday and
25:49burnout costs
25:50Australia an
25:51estimated $14
25:52billion a year.
25:54And according to
25:54Beyond Blue, one
25:55in two Australians
25:56are experiencing
25:57it right now.
25:58It's distressing
25:59news, but it does
26:00explain why half
26:01of us are one
26:01Zoom meeting away
26:02from moving to
26:03a lighthouse.
26:04Here, with an
26:05idea of how we
26:05might combat it,
26:07would you please
26:07welcome Rhys
26:08Nicholson!
26:17Hello, Charles.
26:19How wonderful of
26:20you to join me
26:20here.
26:22Rhys, what are
26:23you doing in
26:24jail?
26:25I'm having the
26:26time of my life,
26:27Charles.
26:28And not just
26:29because my long
26:29eyelashes and
26:30slender frame make
26:31me like currency
26:32in here.
26:35Please take a
26:36seat.
26:37Uh, okay.
26:42Welcome, Charles.
26:43This is my full-time
26:44guard and carer,
26:45Helen.
26:46Right, and what
26:47are your qualifications?
26:48Uh, Cert 2 in
26:49hospitality and I've
26:51been rejected from
26:52NIDA twice.
26:57Now, this is no
26:59ordinary prison,
27:00Charles.
27:00This is a
27:01relaxation prison
27:02hotel, a very
27:03real thing happening
27:04in South Korea.
27:06It's a retreat for
27:07people who feel
27:08overworked.
27:09It's like an escape
27:09room for your life,
27:11which you can't
27:12escape.
27:13I've been here for
27:14two days, meditating,
27:16journaling, shiv
27:17making.
27:18What?
27:18Shiv making?
27:19Are you in danger?
27:20No, no, no, no,
27:21I just love to shiv.
27:24Hang on, is that
27:25my toothbrush?
27:26It used to be.
27:28Oh.
27:30This feels like a
27:32cross between a
27:33day spa and squid
27:34game.
27:35It's kind of bleak.
27:36It is and it's
27:37what we deserve
27:38because this is what
27:39self-care looks like
27:40now.
27:41Thousands of
27:42people are flocking
27:43to opt out of
27:43everything just to
27:44rest and feel
27:45normal again.
27:47We're only four
27:47months into 2026,
27:49Charles, and we've
27:50already had wars,
27:51natural disasters,
27:52and I'm just
27:53talking about Kyle
27:53and Jackie
27:54Isle.
27:56RIP, valet.
27:58They're not dead.
27:59What?
28:00You're kidding.
28:01No.
28:01God, the news
28:02just keeps getting
28:03worse.
28:05OK, Rhys,
28:06Beyond Blue say
28:07one in two of us
28:08are suffering from
28:09burnout.
28:10One in two is
28:12quite high.
28:13One in two of us
28:14is quite high.
28:15Thank you.
28:15Thank you.
28:19Yes, from CEOs all
28:21the way down the
28:21income ladder to
28:22people with real
28:23jobs like nurses
28:24and carers, it's
28:25gotten to the point
28:26where people are
28:27cosplaying mandatory
28:28detention just to get
28:29a bit of shut-eye,
28:30Charles.
28:31Right.
28:31Does anything like
28:32this exist here?
28:33I mean, we have
28:35prisons, and they
28:37seem fine, don't
28:38they, Charles?
28:39The system isn't
28:40broken from the
28:41ground up at all,
28:42and it shouldn't be
28:42a concern to us that
28:43all the private
28:44companies are running
28:45them like businesses.
28:47Yeah, and from what
28:47I hear, there aren't
28:48a lot of vacancies.
28:50Depending on your
28:50background, Charles,
28:51they'll find a way
28:52to fit you in.
28:54Well, not you,
28:55obviously.
28:57Rhys, let's return
28:58to your mantra.
29:00Say it with me.
29:01I avoid stress.
29:04I avoid stressful
29:06people.
29:08Oh.
29:13Whoa.
29:14Wait, Rhys.
29:15Oh, boy.
29:16Rhys, what is that
29:17noise?
29:18I really shouldn't be
29:19telling you this,
29:19Charles, but I've
29:20learnt a few things in
29:21here, and I was able
29:22to smuggle in my old
29:24Nokia.
29:27Where is it?
29:30I probably shouldn't
29:31tell you this either,
29:32but I will say it's set
29:33on vibrate, and I have
29:34no intention on
29:35answering it.
29:42I have a lot of
29:42questions, but I do
29:43not want to hear the
29:44answers.
29:45Would you please
29:46thank Rhys Nicholson?
29:48call me, Charles.
29:51I will not call you.
29:54Do you still think of
29:55the lambs?
30:02One quick story before
30:04we go, and it's fair to
30:05say it's been a big week
30:06for robots.
30:07This humanoid robot
30:09captured driving away a
30:11herd of wild animals
30:13shouting, go away, in
30:15Polish, as they ran into
30:17the forest.
30:18Edward, as he's known,
30:19has become an online
30:20celebrity in the
30:21European country,
30:22appearing on morning
30:24TV, and even visiting
30:26Parliament.
30:27Incredible.
30:27Robots can now chase
30:29wild boars, appear on
30:31morning TV, and visit
30:32Parliament, proving we
30:34no longer need Barnaby
30:35Joyce.
30:38But short-distance pig
30:40chasing isn't the only
30:41robot-running event we
30:42saw this week.
30:43Robots powering on and
30:45hitting the pavement,
30:46training for Beijing's
30:47second-ever humanoid
30:49half-marathon this
30:50weekend.
30:50You see some here
30:52zooming through the
30:53track with ease, while
30:54others seem to be having
30:55a more difficult time at
30:57the starting line.
31:02Wow.
31:04Robots can now take a few
31:05steps, fall over, and
31:07flail about on the ground,
31:10proving that we no longer
31:11need Barnaby Joyce.
31:17That is all for tonight.
31:20Would you please thank
31:20Rhys Nicholson, Kitty
31:21Flanagan, Anne Edmonds,
31:22Margaret Pomerantz,
31:23Lexi Toliopoulos, and
31:24Bear Knuckles' special
31:26guest, Virginia Trioli.
31:30And don't forget to tune
31:31into my radio show, TJF,
31:33Friday afternoons on ABC
31:34Radio and Radio National,
31:35or download it from the
31:37ABC Listen app.
31:38That is it for this season
31:40of the weekly.
31:41Don't miss the premiere
31:41of Bad Company this
31:43Sunday.
31:43And next week, Ruins
31:44Back, followed by
31:45Spelling Bee.
31:46We'll be back in December
31:47with the yearly, but
31:48until then, I'd like to
31:49thank everyone who makes
31:50the show for doing an
31:51amazing job this season.
31:53And on behalf of the
31:54best team in TV, thank
31:55you for watching.
