Yeah, because them, them, uh, you know, them, uh, what do you call them? The, the daytime soaps and stuff.

He was on Moonlighting, which was a primetime hit-

Yeah

It's not Moonlighting.

What's the show, oh, God, with Bruce Willis and is it Cybill Shepherd? What was the name of that show that he was on? Um-

Couldn't tell you.

The moment they got them together...

Clearly not.

Uh, Moonlighting.

Yeah.

Hey, it's Mistress Carrie reporting for duty from MCHQ for episode 327 of The Mistress Carrie Podcast.

And if you always wondered what bands do as soon as they come off stage after playing a live show, well now you know.

Because my guests this week, Joel and Ryan O'Keefe from Airborne, they literally finished their set on stage in Spain, went backstage to the dressing room with their sweaty towels.

They grabbed a glass of wine and sat down to talk to me while the show's headliners, Judas Priest, took the stage.

We talked about everything from touring with Judas Priest to food, their brand new album, which is self-titled Airborne, that came out last Friday, September 4th.

We talked about the artwork, the fact that the vinyl has actual beer inside, working with producer Mutt Lange and writing songs with Bryan Adams, their love of all things Deadliest Catch, Die Hard, Major League, and you can't talk to a band from Australia without talking about all of the things in Australia that are literally trying to kill you.

John McClane.

Yeah.

Yeah.

For me, anyway, Moonlighting was, like, one of my favourite shows.

Like, the character David Allison was just amazing.

It obviously then got him the Die Hard role, made him absolutely worldwide famous.

We hadn't done a Bruce Willis film when I was like...

Growing up, I was just a massive Bruce Willis fan.

Just purely because of Moonlighting originally.

Like I said, we spoke about it before, but I watched Die Hard when I was like 10 because my auntie obviously didn't have a clue, but she knew I liked Bruce Willis because she knew I loved Moonlighting.

If only they knew they weren't giving it away.

Moonlighting, they're leaving everything.

Moonlighting, they're losing all their friends.

But it means they'll stay together They're gonna make it together 9.15 Monday morning at the printing works The boss notices someone's not clocked in And the water department of the council offices Have a message that Mrs. Park's daughter is missing Drinking cold black coffee, eating hot cupcakes.

She stares at him with his beard unshaped.

Those are very good films.

I think with Bruce Willis, because I grew up, I remember watching Moonlighting, which was the TV series, which is him and Cybill Shepherd.

And by the way, I maintain to this day, if you ever want to see the best chemistry between two leads that aren't actually fucking, supposedly, ever in TV or movies, it is Moonlighting.

And it's one of those.

It's like a really crazy forgotten comedy.

It's actually an excellent TV series.

And anyway, Bruce Willis was meant to be airlifted out to be super charismatic, you know, kind of not the best looking guy, but, you know, he'll give you a good time and probably, you know, give you a good seeing to and all of that stuff.

Because that's who he played in Moonlighting.
