Speaker 4: That's so true. You do a lot of your singing
Speaker 4: in the bathroom.
Speaker 6: Oh, that's that's where it all happens. That's where all
Speaker 6: the ideas happen.
Speaker 1: And then some singing.
Speaker 5: I get a lot of ideas in the shower too. Actually,
Speaker 5: it's the running water thing, isn't it.
Speaker 3: It's either that it makes you pee, or it brings
Speaker 3: ideas on it.
Speaker 4: Or it gets you clean.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, it's interesting that this podcast is actually called separate Bathrooms,
Speaker 6: because that's our number one thing as a couple. Every
Speaker 6: time we check into a hotel, we either have to
Speaker 6: have separate bathrooms or at least two sinks, because I
Speaker 6: just refuse to share with Tim.
Speaker 3: How do you do a separate bathroom?
Speaker 6: Oh well, I make sure that Tim paying and we
Speaker 6: get a suite.
Speaker 1: Or maybe Anthony's batting his eyelids, you know game. Can
Speaker 1: we get knock groyed today?
Speaker 5: What is it for you, Anthony that you don't like
Speaker 5: sharing a bathroom? What is it do you think it's
Speaker 5: helpful for your relationship to not.
Speaker 6: I think we spend so much time together. So when
Speaker 6: I'm actually having me time in the bathroom and I'm
Speaker 6: getting ready, like I like to have a drink on
Speaker 6: the counter, I like to have music playing. I like
Speaker 6: to just not rush, whereas Tim comes in at the
Speaker 6: last minute, He's rushing. There's crap going everywhere, and I
Speaker 6: just have a different way of getting ready. And I'm
Speaker 6: a little sorry, babe, but I'm a little cleaner than
Speaker 6: you in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Cool story, bro, Let me tell you the real truth.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, there's another side to this.
Speaker 1: Doctor Google has have his self diagnosis of OCD, and yeah,
Speaker 1: if you if I dare take up a quarter of
Speaker 1: the counter, then obviously I'm taking up too much. So yeah,
Speaker 1: there is a huge process and I'll do, oh, why
Speaker 1: don't you go first? And there's no chance in I'm
Speaker 1: going first in the bathroom to get ready. So yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ritual going on. Anthony's one of
Speaker 1: those people there says if you need to be there
Speaker 1: at ten o'clock, he's there at nine to twenty and
Speaker 1: if we're at nine twenty five, you panics, right, one
Speaker 1: of those.
Speaker 6: People, Well, that's late, that's not that's funny.
Speaker 2: So that because Ali read me the Riot Act yesterday.
Speaker 3: She said, we have to be at the studio at
Speaker 3: what we've grown at eleven. We have to be there,
Speaker 3: so we need to leave. I'm not going to be late.
Speaker 3: I'm like, we're not going to be late. She's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: but we're not.
Speaker 2: Going to be late because you're always late. I'm not
Speaker 2: am I late.
Speaker 6: You just just push it, You just.
Speaker 5: You push it and you and you run like sort
Speaker 5: of fun. It's not like hugely late, but it just
Speaker 5: causes me anxiety. I get it. Ali, Yeah, I'm just
Speaker 5: trying to like subvert the anxiety in my body.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I'm on Tim's team and you're on Anthony's team.
Speaker 4: Got it all right?
Speaker 1: For the whole podcast?
Speaker 3: Yeah, never show the teams meet.
Speaker 5: Speaking of meeting, how did the two of you first meet?
Speaker 5: What was sort of the first impression of each other?
Speaker 1: Okay, two very different answers there, it's a Look, it's
Speaker 1: a very gay story. We met on stage in a musical.
Speaker 1: So we were both cast in a production of Rent
Speaker 1: in Perth back in thirty four BC. It was a
Speaker 1: long time ago, and so yeah, I was kind of
Speaker 1: very nervous because I've been my first ever professional musical
Speaker 1: and I was cast having to sing opposite Anthony Collier,
Speaker 1: and I was an actor on Home and Away. I wasn't,
Speaker 1: you know, as much of a singer as he was,
Speaker 1: So that was a bit of nerves when we first met.
Speaker 6: Look, that wasn't actually the first time that we met.
Speaker 6: Apparently I don't remember this, but you give your version
Speaker 6: of the story.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, here we go. So we actually met, that's true,
Speaker 1: We actually met for the first first time. I was doing.
Speaker 1: In two thousand and seven, I did Dancing with the
Speaker 1: Stars and Anthony was doing it Takes two, which is
Speaker 1: the kind of the poor man singing version of Dancing
Speaker 1: with the Stars. Okay, the cast of it came on
Speaker 1: to set to do a promotional performance in one of
Speaker 1: our episodes, you know, on the jumping on the coattails.
Speaker 1: So it was a rehearsal because back then it was
Speaker 1: live TV. So I think they were rehearsing, and I
Speaker 1: think they did a run and we're walking down the
Speaker 1: corridor and I saw him and I just wanted to
Speaker 1: say I never met him before.
Speaker 6: It.
Speaker 1: Literally I wish you could see the visual. Literally, I'm
Speaker 1: walking along, he's walking along, probably with an entourage. Do
Speaker 1: you know what music industry people are like? So we're
Speaker 1: walking along the code or I said hello, I got
Speaker 1: the biggest bitch face you've ever seen, like that resting
Speaker 1: bitch face look, and did not say a word to me.
Speaker 6: Well, you didn't really make an impression, and you did
Speaker 6: it look like Chris ham'sworth, So I wasn't giving you
Speaker 6: any time.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it wasn't love at first sight. But okay,
Speaker 1: good on your mate. You're not sh.
Speaker 6: What about me.
Speaker 3: What about that seat with the goatee though, mate, you
Speaker 3: could do that, you could you could.
Speaker 2: Rock a go toe Anthony.
Speaker 6: No, I don't know about that.
Speaker 5: So so you meet on Rent and Anthony, did you
Speaker 5: remember that that crossing in the hallway where you gave
Speaker 5: him Paddington?
Speaker 6: Absolutely do not remember that encounter. I don't even remember
Speaker 6: him on Dancing with the Stars, let alone Home and Away.
Speaker 2: It was all about the Hemsworth was.
Speaker 4: Chris looked like na.
Speaker 6: Like you know on Home and Away he was, you know,
Speaker 6: he was with one little wog and then in real
Speaker 6: life you went to another little wog, just a dif
Speaker 6: French ender from Ada to Anthony. So after you two
Speaker 6: got together, was there anything that you discovered about each
Speaker 6: other that you didn't expect you go first?
Speaker 1: Well, I suppose, I mean we kind of loosely got
Speaker 1: to know each other on the show. No, we went
Speaker 1: together and it was kind of soon after I moved
Speaker 1: to Melbourne to do another show and we started. I
Speaker 1: don't know, it was. Look, I don't want to get
Speaker 1: all kind of Hallmark carding and mushy here, but.
Speaker 2: We do that. There is room.
Speaker 1: Q vioque the museum. Great. We Yeah, I mean we
Speaker 1: very soon kind of started dating and started seeing each other.
Speaker 1: And I think because we you know, we'd come out
Speaker 1: of relationships and we kind of you know, you learned good,
Speaker 1: good things and bad things and whatever else. I think
Speaker 1: we were kind of all cards on the table from
Speaker 1: the start in our relationships, saying, if we're going to
Speaker 1: do this, we want everything out there. We're going to
Speaker 1: be completely open on us talk about things because I
Speaker 1: guess having come out and I'd come out of a
Speaker 1: long term relationship, and Anthony had just come out of
Speaker 1: one as well, and so you know, I was I
Speaker 1: wasn't ready for this what's going on. So we were
Speaker 1: very open about about everything, and it kind of we
Speaker 1: worked to a point where we're going to take time.
Speaker 1: We said to ourselves, we should take time with this.
Speaker 1: I think it was probably less than six months we
Speaker 1: bought a house together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like when we wore that rent money, mortgage money.
Speaker 6: But when we started, when we started seeing each other,
Speaker 6: like I was actually going to look for a place
Speaker 6: for my own self, and I was with my mum
Speaker 6: actually and we're going to a few open houses, and
Speaker 6: my mum goes, just take it easy, take it easy,
Speaker 6: and I said, yeah, absolutely, I'm taking it really slow.
Speaker 6: I'm going to move in by myself. I can't wait.
Speaker 6: And then next minute we've signed a lease together. And
Speaker 6: then six months later we've broken that lease and we've
Speaker 6: bought a house together, and we had, you know, joint
Speaker 6: bank accounts, and it just it felt right. And I
Speaker 6: feel as though when it feels right, then you just
Speaker 6: have to go with it, and if it all falls
Speaker 6: to crap, then you deal with the consequences.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Do you remember specifically an actual moment where you
Speaker 5: went that he is the one.
Speaker 4: If you put that, Oh, yeah, I think it is.
Speaker 4: I think it is that moment.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: Weirdly enough. I mean, I'll speak to myself. I felt
Speaker 1: it up front. I kind of just knew instinctively this
Speaker 1: was absolutely right.
Speaker 6: You're around the human babe.
Speaker 1: Seventeen years down the track, I've still got it right.
Speaker 1: Eighteen years could be a bit funny, that might be yea,
Speaker 1: but yeah, correct. But although I will tell you a
Speaker 1: little story when I tried to solidify this fact, Oh,
Speaker 1: here we go. It was it was two thousand I
Speaker 1: remember this part two thousand and seven Christmas Eve, because
Speaker 1: Anthony was doing Carol's by candlelight, and I had done
Speaker 1: Carol's in Sydney that year, so I came down to
Speaker 1: watch and at the end of the show, and back
Speaker 1: in the day, they used to go back to one
Speaker 1: of the hotels in the bar and have a drink
Speaker 1: and then you kind of head up, you know. So
Speaker 1: I was staying with him in the hotel. I'd snuck
Speaker 1: off at about midnight or so and bought previously brought
Speaker 1: about one hundred and fifty two hundred tea like candles
Speaker 1: and set up the hotel room. So I'd set up
Speaker 1: all these lights around there and I made our initials
Speaker 1: and it was.
Speaker 6: Very lovely what he did. But this is the problem.
Speaker 6: He didn't know me as well back then. And after
Speaker 6: a gig, I like to have a drink or ten.
Speaker 6: And so if you're going to do something special after
Speaker 6: a gig, after I've been in the lobby bar of
Speaker 6: the hotel, like, you've just chosen your timing really badly.
Speaker 6: And so he's like texting and he's like calling, and
Speaker 6: I'm like, this is early on in the relationship, and
Speaker 6: I'm like, this guy is obsessive, Like I get it,
Speaker 6: but you're obsessive. And so he ended up coming downstairs
Speaker 6: and he grabbed me, and then we went back upstairs
Speaker 6: to the room and I walk in and I see
Speaker 6: this whole you know thing in front of me with
Speaker 6: all of these candles there and a beautiful bottle of
Speaker 6: champagne and like a beautiful massive Chacutere board, and I
Speaker 6: literally just looked at me and I'm like, what's going on?
Speaker 6: And then this is.
Speaker 1: My moment to say, you know, we've been seeing each other.
Speaker 1: I just want to make it officially go steady, as
Speaker 1: they say in the States. So I kind of this
Speaker 1: is my official that we're dating. And he just said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of drink. I need to go
Speaker 1: to bed, and I passed out.
Speaker 4: You put all the candles yourself.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I sat there myself. I had champagne, I
Speaker 1: had a securitary board.
Speaker 6: To He wanted some other meat that night, but he
Speaker 6: had to just settle with the CABANOSSI I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Anthony is from a place called whereby, from Campbelltown. So look,
Speaker 1: we know ore Vogan sides make bit of class hands.
Speaker 2: Wherebe is actually coming up.
Speaker 3: It's no longer the water treatment capital of the world,
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's a good spot now.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, and so it's Campbelltown. Campbelltown's a huge city
Speaker 1: now out there to see farms and now there's just
Speaker 1: houses and things everywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm lucky you didn't set the set the hotel
Speaker 3: room on fine, I thought.
Speaker 6: You, Yeah, there's so much fire in the room.
Speaker 4: And then there was fire alarms off.
Speaker 1: That was an issue because when I was lighting the candles,
Speaker 1: the curtains were blowing. How it turned the air on off.
Speaker 1: I kind of moved them around as well, So there
Speaker 1: was that point too. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's how it all started for us.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 3: One of my favorite things in the world to do
Speaker 3: is sing with someone, and I love I love the
Speaker 3: feeling I have when I'm singing with someone and we're
Speaker 3: harmonizing together. It's just a great for me. It's a
Speaker 3: great vibe, a great feeling. Do you remember the first
Speaker 3: time you guys sung together and what did that feel
Speaker 3: like for you?
Speaker 6: It was telethon in Perth because we hadn't even started
Speaker 6: the production of Rent just yet. We were still in rehearsals,
Speaker 6: but they wanted to do a promo performance and we
Speaker 6: literally just flew into perf. We've sort of just met
Speaker 6: each other, We've land our parts, and then next minute
Speaker 6: we're on stage together singing what You Own from the
Speaker 6: musical Rent And that was the first time that we
Speaker 6: actually sang together.
Speaker 2: So what did that feel like?
Speaker 3: It was?
Speaker 1: It was? It was exhilarating, but also very nerve wracking
Speaker 1: because I think literally they made the decision about three
Speaker 1: minutes before going on air, like whether we were going
Speaker 1: to sing or not. We hadn't learned this. We kind
Speaker 1: of literally learned the song really quickly backstage in about
Speaker 1: five minutes and said shall we do it? Sure? So
Speaker 1: I guess I mean that adrenaline is pretty amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So there was a there was a mixed bag of
Speaker 1: don't muck it up, You don't muck it up.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's right, I never muck it up.
Speaker 1: You don't even remember the lyrics to your own songs?
Speaker 6: No, that's why I have or Q.
Speaker 2: No, do you really have order Q sometimes on stage?
Speaker 6: Yeah, especially as I'm getting older, I just I don't
Speaker 6: retain certain information in my head, and one of them
Speaker 6: is lyrics, even though I've been singing certain songs for
Speaker 6: like twenty years. But I heard that, you know, John
Speaker 6: Farnham has exactly the same problem. So I'm in good company.
Speaker 4: Well, lot of singers would be the same.
Speaker 3: I remember being it was a Los Angeles station, Grand
Speaker 3: Central station in LA and I was watching John Foggetty
Speaker 3: play and he had all the lyrics projected on a
Speaker 3: movie screen at the back of the auditorium.
Speaker 2: And I'm watching John Foggerty go, this is the best thing.
Speaker 2: He's run through the jungle and everything. Wow, how great
Speaker 2: is this?
Speaker 5: You get to sing along with him because yeah, and
Speaker 5: I'm looking, Oh, there's the words.
Speaker 2: I turned around away from away from the stage, and
Speaker 2: there he happened.
Speaker 3: That's the first time I've ever seen or known about
Speaker 3: auto Q for.
Speaker 2: For singers on stage. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Apparently Barbarus Drives used to have her whole script on
Speaker 1: stage even between as well. She's very personal. She's very personal.
Speaker 4: It might have.
Speaker 5: Helped you at the Christmas Carols when you when you
Speaker 5: forgot what was the root off the red Nose?
Speaker 2: No, Santa Claus is coming.
Speaker 4: He lost the words for Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
Speaker 1: It's an intricate song.
Speaker 5: It's a tough one, it's meaningful, just hit him in
Speaker 5: all the feels that he's hold it together.
Speaker 1: If he doesn't come to town, what do I sing
Speaker 1: that I don't.
Speaker 4: Know coming somewhere but I can't remember.
Speaker 2: And what if Santa Claus?
Speaker 3: What if Santa Claus is in a helicopter orbiting the
Speaker 3: actual place while you're singing and you can see the
Speaker 3: audience is looking up at the with the Westpac helicopter
Speaker 3: with Santa hanging out and I'm going there.
Speaker 2: You just see the Santa. Okay, that's great. That doesn't
Speaker 2: even matter what I sing right now.
Speaker 3: If your relationship had a theme song, guys, what would
Speaker 3: it be?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 6: Well, we did have a song at our wedding. Yeah
Speaker 6: that we both we both sort of connected with this
Speaker 6: song very soon in our relationship and we actually recorded.
Speaker 6: Did we record a vision or we know, we've just
Speaker 6: live duet, We've just done a live jowet of it,
Speaker 6: Alita Adams get here. So I don't know why. We
Speaker 6: just both loved that song. And then so when we
Speaker 6: did actually get married and we had to choose a
Speaker 6: song to play, we didn't even think twice that was
Speaker 6: that was the song?
Speaker 1: Well, we both we both discovered, especially when we're seeing
Speaker 1: each other. Initially we were pretty busy at the time,
Speaker 1: so we were, you know, wanting obviously early love to
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time together, but we were very busy,
Speaker 1: kind of career wise, traveling all over the place. So
Speaker 1: that and that song talked about you know, I don't
Speaker 1: care how I get there, just get there when I
Speaker 1: can kind of thing. So yes, it was quite prolific
Speaker 1: at the time for us, and yeah, we kind of
Speaker 1: loved it anyhow, I'm just the words, the words of
Speaker 1: the meeting. So yeah, we sang it at our wedding
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: That was noise.
Speaker 6: Did we sing it at the wedding?
Speaker 1: You don't remember that? At night.
Speaker 4: Karaoke? Are you into karaoke?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 6: Iach, I hate it in Australia.
Speaker 3: What I do, like, why why Australia is because you're
Speaker 3: well known.
Speaker 6: Well, I just like to have a bit of fun,
Speaker 6: especially when we go to la and I used to
Speaker 6: do this quite a bit, Like they used to be
Speaker 6: this bar up the road, and like they used to
Speaker 6: have like a drink tab on offer, you know if
Speaker 6: you won the competition for like three hundred bucks or something.
Speaker 6: And I'm just like okay. So we went with a
Speaker 6: few friends and I like to make up names. So
Speaker 6: I'm usually Adam and I'm a dolphin trainer from the
Speaker 6: Gold Coast, Tim Trevor, he works for his parents building company.
Speaker 6: And then another friend, she works in charity, and she like,
Speaker 6: I just make up all these stories and then we're
Speaker 6: all singers, and so we get up and kill yeah,
Speaker 6: and then I do this whole thing. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 6: I'm so embarrassed, blah blah. My go to is always
Speaker 6: Richard Marks right here waiting, and I literally add every
Speaker 6: single ad lib that I can. And then this is
Speaker 6: the thing that I realized very quickly when you rock
Speaker 6: up to a you know, very serious karaoke competition, is
Speaker 6: that they don't like you if you come across like
Speaker 6: you're a professional singer and you get deaf eys. And
Speaker 6: so I literally got disqualified from karaoke in La at
Speaker 6: a gay Bite because you.
Speaker 4: Were too good.
Speaker 2: They knew, they knew.
Speaker 7: I do.
Speaker 6: I do like the story all the time. I'm always like,
Speaker 6: you know, Adam, a dolphin trainer from the Gold Yeah, gosh.
Speaker 3: I got disqualified mud wrestling in Los Angeles because I
Speaker 3: was too good at wrestling.
Speaker 2: They free me out.
Speaker 4: That is an actual true story.
Speaker 1: Hilarious.
Speaker 6: I want you more about it.
Speaker 4: Yeah he was. He was also wrestling a woman in
Speaker 4: a bikini.
Speaker 6: Heaven.
Speaker 1: You're smash you and go to very different bars.
Speaker 7: In I know which bar I prefer to go to.
Speaker 7: The Mud they shut They shut the Mud, the Weekly Scort.
Speaker 2: The Razzle Dazzle, they shut it down.
Speaker 4: You guys probably shout, we probably did.
Speaker 5: Probably you mentioned or actually Tim mentioned your OCD before.
Speaker 4: But do you guys have any sort of.
Speaker 5: Quirky rituals that you do before you go on stage?
Speaker 4: You have something that you're like, like, this.
Speaker 6: Is why I definitely have ritual. It's not a great ritual,
Speaker 6: but I'm going to be completely honest, like I like
Speaker 6: to have five minutes to myself before I walk on
Speaker 6: a stage and have to perform, and I don't really
Speaker 6: like anyone talking to me, and I just like to
Speaker 6: have a nip of Scotch and a cigy. That's literally
Speaker 6: my warm up and my little moment before I walk
Speaker 6: on stage.
Speaker 1: If you read all the Great Singing Technique books, so
Speaker 1: it says that that's the perfect way to sing. Of course.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but that's my little ritual.
Speaker 1: What about you?
Speaker 6: Tim?
Speaker 2: Pre show?
Speaker 1: Oh look five minutes before the show. I'm probably not
Speaker 1: even dressed yet. Ye, completely opposite, I guess, because if
Speaker 1: you've rehearsal or you know what's going on to me,
Speaker 1: you just let it all go well by the time
Speaker 1: you're on stage. So I kind of try not to
Speaker 1: focus too much about heating on stage, so when I'm there,
Speaker 1: it's just alive and it happens naturally, even though of
Speaker 1: course you would have rehearsed and know what you're doing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm probably just last minute, last minute getting ready,
Speaker 1: hanging out with the bands on a side stage before
Speaker 1: we behead on.
Speaker 6: But whereas I'm a control freak, I like order, I
Speaker 6: like things set up in my dressing room a certain way. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I'm very particular.
Speaker 1: And I like in separate dressing room.
Speaker 6: Yeah. When we're on tour podcasts, Yeah, correct, when we're
Speaker 6: on tour together, that's like, that's a must. If there's
Speaker 6: availabilities for extra dressing rooms, then Tim and I definitely
Speaker 6: have separate dressing rooms.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I know we're actually we're actually about to
Speaker 1: perform at the Sydney Opera House and I found a
Speaker 1: dressing room down the corridor for you. Yeah, we're down
Speaker 1: the corridor from each other, so perfect, welcome.
Speaker 3: I love it, actually cool.
Speaker 2: So what's the whiskey you drink?
Speaker 6: Is it?
Speaker 2: Is it like a fireball?
Speaker 3: Like the KERNI gets, do I do love a good fireball,
Speaker 3: but for again I get so you know you got
Speaker 3: me onto fireball worn God love him.
Speaker 6: I went to his house back in the.
Speaker 1: Day and let me just pick up that name you
Speaker 1: just dropped.
Speaker 2: Shut up.
Speaker 6: No, I went to his house and he had the
Speaker 6: fireball being served, and I'm like, what is this? And
Speaker 6: I ended up being obsessed with it. But no, that's
Speaker 6: a little bit too cinnamon knee strong before you sing,
Speaker 6: I just you know, just you know, a basic Johnny
Speaker 6: Walker blacks.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 3: See you're you're a bit of You're more of an
Speaker 3: R and B crooner. I was introduced to Fireball from
Speaker 3: the Kernigans, Lee Kernigan and Fiona at a gig, at
Speaker 3: a country gig, and they they do a circle before
Speaker 3: they go on stage, like Janet Jackson little prayer circle,
Speaker 3: but they pray to they pray to the to the
Speaker 3: fireball whiskey guards, the country guards and say, buttons up,
Speaker 3: let's got a good show, and boy, you can sing
Speaker 3: after that stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, of course it's so good.
Speaker 6: Everyone's going to be listening to this running to you know,
Speaker 6: the store after this game. What's this fireball?
Speaker 4: You mentioned the Sydney Opera House. Tell us about that.
Speaker 4: What is this gig that you guys are doing together?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we're about to head to the Sydney oper
Speaker 1: House and also Hamer Hall in Melbourne, which is quite
Speaker 1: an iconic venue in Melbourne as well. So we're about
Speaker 1: to do it's called the Songs of Elton and George,
Speaker 1: So basically ourselves and John Foreman yep maestra incredible John
Speaker 1: Foreman and his Australian Pops Orchestra are getting together and
Speaker 1: they're combining with our band and we're about to perform
Speaker 1: incredible kind of orchestral versions of Elton, John and George
Speaker 1: Michael classics, which we're literally in the middle right now.
Speaker 1: So I mean, people might listen to this after the show,
Speaker 1: but we're right in the middle of production and getting
Speaker 1: the songs together and the arrangements together, and it's sounding
Speaker 1: pretty magical. Have to say.
Speaker 6: Oh wait, so there's like, yeah, there's three shows at
Speaker 6: Hama Hall and then there's two shows at the Sydney
Speaker 6: Opera House, and so to be able to stand on
Speaker 6: those stages and be able to share it with over
Speaker 6: forty musicians on stage and celebrate the iconic of these
Speaker 6: two legends, it's definitely going to be for me a
Speaker 6: goosebump moment.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I love those two stages and it's always a privilege
Speaker 6: to be able to sing in front of an orchestra.
Speaker 6: So and to be able to do it without one
Speaker 6: of our mates, John Foreman, it's it's extra special.
Speaker 1: I was on the plane the other day coming home
Speaker 1: listening to some orchestrations, just doing some arrangements for the
Speaker 1: BVS and and I just texted and said, I've just
Speaker 1: I've just cried twice on this planet to theagements like
Speaker 1: they're just yeah, they're stunning and that. And that's a
Speaker 1: computerized version of the arrangement. So hearing them live is
Speaker 1: going to be another level again.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, well, do either of you, I mean you both,
Speaker 3: I'm assuming play an instrument as well?
Speaker 2: Do you do you play piano, guitars, anything like that?
Speaker 6: To be honest, no, I don't, but Tim can sort
Speaker 6: of tinkle on the piano.
Speaker 1: Would be hit well, I'd learn music back in school,
Speaker 1: but that was the last time I played in the
Speaker 1: school band. So I started playing a tuba. And I
Speaker 1: still own my trombone from back at school. It's in
Speaker 1: storage gathering dust. I won't get it out through this.
Speaker 1: This shows yeah correct or so, and I guess, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can card bash on it on a piano. You've
Speaker 1: going to give you a chord chart. But normally it
Speaker 1: happens at about midnight because we have a piano at home,
Speaker 1: and it's normally happened at midnight with people around our
Speaker 1: place late at night. Doesn't happen when I'm sober. It's
Speaker 1: kind of weird.
Speaker 6: It's interesting though, because when I was doing Year twelve
Speaker 6: in Melbourne, it's called VCE, but I ended up topping
Speaker 6: the state with Melissa Higgins at the time, Missy Higgins,
Speaker 6: and I don't play an instrument because as a kid,
Speaker 6: I learned singing all by ear. But then in my
Speaker 6: VCE exam for music, I had to do like notation
Speaker 6: and listen to music and then write it all on paper.
Speaker 6: And I don't know how I did it, but I'm
Speaker 6: just like, how did I fluke that you're Italian?
Speaker 1: It's called cash under the counter.
Speaker 4: The mafia. Yes, that's fantastic. How did you guys decide
Speaker 4: who was singing what?
Speaker 5: Like I gathered you're sor you're seeing both songs all together,
Speaker 5: like together each song or one takes one or there's
Speaker 5: a little bit of both.
Speaker 1: There'll be definitely our duets in the show, and there's
Speaker 1: some solo moments, and of course we're talking a catalog
Speaker 1: of Elton John and George Michael. So as much as
Speaker 1: we initially had a six day concert together, we had
Speaker 1: to kind of break it down and throw them some
Speaker 1: songs out, and there's a fair few medleys to cover.
Speaker 1: But it kind of natural. I think we naturally it
Speaker 1: allocated itself quite naturally really because some of the songs
Speaker 1: we've both done over time in different concerts and things.
Speaker 1: But it kind of made sense. I mean, obviously, someone
Speaker 1: with Anthony's voicing incredible, you know, kind of soaring ballads.
Speaker 1: I'm not touching that. You're you're you're having the line
Speaker 1: king stuff on. So but and I've always been like
Speaker 1: I had a dog about fifteen twenty years ago called Reggie,
Speaker 1: So I've always done a massive Elton John fan and
Speaker 1: he had and I guess I've introduced and to a
Speaker 1: few kind of Elton John songs too, and.
Speaker 6: Yeah, ten years ago. I actually, you know, to be honest,
Speaker 6: I only did it because I wanted to be self indulgent.
Speaker 6: And I read this article in the lead up that
Speaker 6: it was thirty years of Careless Whisper since it been released,
Speaker 6: And as a as a male vocalist, I absolutely admire
Speaker 6: and still do the music of John George. What did
Speaker 6: I say, John Farnham? We started George Michael, George.
Speaker 3: I was thinking of John Foreman, John Fornham something now
Speaker 3: I think of Fordham, George Foreman.
Speaker 4: The guy who sells.
Speaker 6: They a little different.
Speaker 3: We're calling you too about George Foreman and Farnham.
Speaker 4: And George Michael.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so George Michae And it was thirty years. It
Speaker 6: was leading up to thirty years since the release of
Speaker 6: Careless Whisper, and I went, I just want to put
Speaker 6: on a concert to celebrate his music and be self indulgent.
Speaker 6: And it ended up turning into a full national tour,
Speaker 6: ended up releasing a TV span and so that it
Speaker 6: really resonated with me and obviously a lot of other people,
Speaker 6: and so to be able to revisit these songs again
Speaker 6: and a lot of his music, but now elevate it
Speaker 6: with a full orchestra and John Foreman. It's it's yeah,
Speaker 6: it's definitely taken a new beautiful life with these with
Speaker 6: these songs.
Speaker 1: Maybe there was one song that we kind of went, oh,
Speaker 1: are you going to do that? Am I going to
Speaker 1: do that? It was probably the George Michael and Rutha
Speaker 1: Franklin knew you were waiting like yeah, and I said, look,
Speaker 1: that's an eighties song and that's my era that that's
Speaker 1: a penny part of song for me. I remember playing
Speaker 1: the Pennies for twenty cents or the role Arena on
Speaker 1: a Saturday night.
Speaker 6: I have no idea what you're talking about right now,
Speaker 6: because you're much older than me.
Speaker 1: Back when I watched Rage and we recorded it on
Speaker 1: a VHS, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I remember the gramophone, my old man's.
Speaker 2: Cap.
Speaker 3: Hey did you guys, either of you guys, ever meet
Speaker 3: these these two in your travels?
Speaker 6: I wish I met George Michael, but Tim actually called me.
Speaker 6: You didn't meet him? But remember when you were in
Speaker 6: La but then I had to fly back. Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: so yeah, do you want to hello? I never met,
Speaker 6: but it was actually a really great experience.
Speaker 1: I mean, like I was front row at Elton John's probably,
Speaker 1: but no, I was. We were living in LA for
Speaker 1: a little bit at a time, and Anthon was back
Speaker 1: in Australia, and because I know a lot of his
Speaker 1: albums quite well, and especially his Live from Madison Square
Speaker 1: Garden album, and I just was could hear this music, thinking, God,
Speaker 1: someone's playing that album really loud, And then I went,
Speaker 1: hang on, that's not the Leacky normally sings in that song.
Speaker 1: There's something weird going on, Like it was just just
Speaker 1: wasn't the album I was used to hearing. So long
Speaker 1: story shot a step onto the balcony, I hear this
Speaker 1: live concert happening up the road, and I think he
Speaker 1: just released an album or something. So I walk up
Speaker 1: the street in West Hollywood as you do outside of
Speaker 1: I think it was Tower Records in the car park there.
Speaker 1: Suddenly I hit this Elton John concert happening in a
Speaker 1: car park, but he just performed and then Don't let
Speaker 1: the Sun go down on midstarts and Lady Gaga walks
Speaker 1: out and doesn't duet within on the streets of just
Speaker 1: this random kind of car park in West Hollywood. I
Speaker 1: loved it. I was in heaven.
Speaker 2: Isn't La amazing for that kind of thing? Yeah, it
Speaker 2: just happens there.
Speaker 3: Things like that can happen on a regular occurrence, you know,
Speaker 3: especially around that area in West Hollywood.
Speaker 1: And I remember the first time going to LA, think
Speaker 1: I'm going to see so many stars in LA and
Speaker 1: I saw Larry Emda.
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you really only going to stop at five shows?
Speaker 3: I mean it sounds like something that could be like perpetual.
Speaker 1: Well, look, we would love to continue on. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, especially touring an orchestra as well. Look, look,
Speaker 1: I will say that last year, for the first time ever,
Speaker 1: we did a tour together because we had I'd sung
Speaker 1: it at the Old Song at Anthony's concert. We hadn't
Speaker 1: really toured ever together. So we initially start opened with
Speaker 1: twelve concerts seeing this is How This Goes was caught
Speaker 1: up close and unpredictable, so it was kind of loosely
Speaker 1: biographical the show, but it was a bit It was
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. We started off with twelve shows.
Speaker 1: We ended up selling twenty seven shows in this tour
Speaker 1: and we're still together. So I don't know, like there's
Speaker 1: there's kind of thought dogs going right now. Saying what
Speaker 1: else can we do with this? So I don't know.
Speaker 6: Yes, we most likely we'll be doing watch this space Dot.
Speaker 5: Do you sort of get I mean, how do you
Speaker 5: handle the pressure and stay grounded, especially in the entertainment
Speaker 5: industry just doing it together and you know, having such
Speaker 5: a great relationship really help you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: We also just don't have a lot of friends that
Speaker 6: work in the industry with Yeah, and I feel as
Speaker 6: though it's really important, and you know, sometimes it's really
Speaker 6: hard to do, especially when we're working on shows together
Speaker 6: or we're working on something together, that it's hard to
Speaker 6: switch off at home, and sometimes you do have to
Speaker 6: make a very conscious effort to go we are not
Speaker 6: talking about work tonight, We are not talking about that tonight.
Speaker 6: Let's just go out and just talk about something else.
Speaker 6: Otherwise it just consumes your whole self, and I just
Speaker 6: don't think that that's healthy your own self or your relationship.
Speaker 1: So and also, again, we've gotten to a point in
Speaker 1: our careers where we produce a lot of stuff ourselves
Speaker 1: as well. So it's not just about rocking up and
Speaker 1: learn the songs and get on stage like these orchestral shows,
Speaker 1: we're literally producing them like I'm dealing with the opera house,
Speaker 1: with contracts and with production and all this kind of
Speaker 1: stuff as well. So it is a bit harder to
Speaker 1: kind of to shut down as well, because we do
Speaker 1: have a bit of behind the scenes stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think ten percent of it is singing on stage,
Speaker 1: ninety percent of it in front of all the other stuff.
Speaker 1: So but but I think we found even from the start,
Speaker 1: I think we found a good balance in that as well.
Speaker 1: And I guess one thing for us which I found
Speaker 1: with other couples who are in entertainment and just I'm
Speaker 1: sure this crosses many industries too, but is that that
Speaker 1: we're never being jealous of each other. I think jealousy
Speaker 1: was a big thing that that can create a few
Speaker 1: kind of you know, barriers between couples, and especially with us,
Speaker 1: because do we crossover genres Like I came for more
Speaker 1: of a back acting background and Anthony singing, and we
Speaker 1: certainly crossed over. I mean I definitely have as well,
Speaker 1: but there's been no Yeah, we kind of look, you know,
Speaker 1: you keep seeing for the rest of your life.
Speaker 2: I'll retire.
Speaker 6: No, See, this is the thing. I'm very happy to retire.
Speaker 6: You're both retiring, Yeah, I'm just like you, just keep
Speaker 6: working and I'm more than happy to go and play
Speaker 6: tennis and whatever.
Speaker 5: Is there something that you both still really want to accomplish?
Speaker 5: Is there a big, big goal that both of you
Speaker 5: want to achieve.
Speaker 6: It's funny, I think as you get older, you know,
Speaker 6: I think very differently to what I was in my
Speaker 6: twenties and thirties, and I feel as though something does
Speaker 6: click when you turn forty or you're about to turn forty.
Speaker 6: That those two twenty five Yeah, it's caught a lot
Speaker 6: of botox and filler, But I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: Can you not say that, Oh you're.
Speaker 2: Not doing bad either, mate?
Speaker 1: No about you, guys, I had to put up with
Speaker 1: ego for another week.
Speaker 6: No, I think you're just your priority has changed. And
Speaker 6: you know, for me, you know, I say that it
Speaker 6: would be great to retire and so forth. But the
Speaker 6: fact that you know, twenty years down the track since idle,
Speaker 6: I still get to wake up every day and call
Speaker 6: what I do a job. It's a very privileged position
Speaker 6: to be in. So, you know, to be able to
Speaker 6: still do that and still call myself a singer and actually,
Speaker 6: you know call that my work. It's I just hope
Speaker 6: that I can do that for the next twenty years.
Speaker 1: And we have a huge amount of support online too,
Speaker 1: which which really is you don't take for granted at all,
Speaker 1: because that's that's a lot of your outlet these days,
Speaker 1: to be able to connect with an audience and they
Speaker 1: come along and they come to these shows and they
Speaker 1: get involved live as well, because live is what it's
Speaker 1: about with us. I mean, social media is great, but
Speaker 1: live is where it's at.
Speaker 6: That's my number one love. Like I've always said, you know,
Speaker 6: you can do TV and you can do radio, when
Speaker 6: you can do all these other things, but as soon
Speaker 6: as you step on that stage with an audience that
Speaker 6: wants to be there and you're connecting through music, it
Speaker 6: is the best feeling that I've ever experienced. And I
Speaker 6: still get goosebumps every time I walk out on stage,
Speaker 6: no matter what the giar is.
Speaker 1: Well, you're connecting through music and dad jokes. Let's be honest, shut.
Speaker 2: Up, listen to you. Dad jokes is good.
Speaker 6: No, no, he has dad jokes all the time. I
Speaker 6: basically only understand about ten percent of his jokes. I
Speaker 6: literally have that confused look on my face constantly every
Speaker 6: time he opens his mouth. That's our relationship.
Speaker 1: I remember lyric take and to get my jokes.
Speaker 3: Come on, what's something you've learned from each other that's
Speaker 3: had a positive impact on your life.
Speaker 6: That I need to have a lot more patience in
Speaker 6: life because I'm very Italian. I have a thought, this
Speaker 6: is what I want to do, this is what I
Speaker 6: want to do now, and it's very hard to change
Speaker 6: my mind. I'm overly passionate at times, but I have
Speaker 6: had to learn that, you know, I can't always have
Speaker 6: my way and I have to be a bit more patient.
Speaker 6: And Tim's very good at when I say, people management,
Speaker 6: he's very good at managing me.
Speaker 4: Full time job.
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1: I feel seen.
Speaker 2: Very important.
Speaker 1: It's kind of opposite, well not the opposite, but I
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a very I'm very much a Liberan
Speaker 1: and Librein's like to be people pleasers, and I had
Speaker 1: learned how to kind of look after myself a bit more.
Speaker 1: I think when I met anthe in a good way,
Speaker 1: like not to kind of get horrible and arrogant. But
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you are, but I'm just saying, like
Speaker 1: I mean, just just to kind of to Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess I guess you look after myself a bit more
Speaker 1: in that way. But also I learned a lot. I mean,
Speaker 1: and has this kind of exterior about the being the
Speaker 1: tough Italian, but those who really know him, no, he's
Speaker 1: just the most loving and thoughtful person and will put
Speaker 1: himself last to everybody else. And I learned and incredible,
Speaker 1: It's one of the things I fell in love with,
Speaker 1: Like it was just incredible quality in a human self
Speaker 1: that he and he knows in our group of friends,
Speaker 1: like he will get a lot of calls when friends
Speaker 1: are having a bit of an issue because they know
Speaker 1: that he's just the biggest, harder person. He can see
Speaker 1: people's issues, he can relate, he can offer the most
Speaker 1: incredible advice and will truly be there, Like it's not
Speaker 1: just okay, shut up, I've got to get off the phone.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's an incredible quality that I certain.
Speaker 4: So beautiful.
Speaker 1: He's still a bastard. But that's.
Speaker 2: What's called balance.
Speaker 5: Is there is there anything in your relationship that's been
Speaker 5: hugely challenging that you've that you've overcome and that sort
Speaker 5: of made the relationship stronger.
Speaker 6: Hugely challenging, maybe a.
Speaker 5: Hugely challenging or has there been a challenge that you've
Speaker 5: had to sort of work together?
Speaker 6: And any with any relationship, you know, communication is key.
Speaker 6: And I said to well, we both had this conversation,
Speaker 6: and I feel as though that was probably part of
Speaker 6: the reason, you know, a reason in our past relationships
Speaker 6: that maybe they didn't work because the communication wasn't as
Speaker 6: clear or as transparent. And I feel as though we
Speaker 6: were definitely on the same page when we first started
Speaker 6: seeing each other. We basically said to each other, it's like,
Speaker 6: you know, we just need clear, open communication between each other.
Speaker 6: Nothing is ever too hard to say. Don't ever be
Speaker 6: frightened about saying something. If that's what you feel, then
Speaker 6: say it. And I feel as though that that's been
Speaker 6: the key for the past seventeen years in terms of
Speaker 6: overcoming any issues or any hurdles that you know come
Speaker 6: to the surface. And that's the thing with a relationship,
Speaker 6: like you know, on the facade, people might go, oh,
Speaker 6: you look so happy and it's always amazing and blahlah blah.
Speaker 6: But you know, let's be truthful. Every relationship has its
Speaker 6: hurdles and ups and downs. But I feel as tho,
Speaker 6: if you can just step back and try and speak
Speaker 6: calmly about situations, then you can you can get through
Speaker 6: those issues. And I say the word calmly for my
Speaker 6: own self.
Speaker 2: Fire Ball.
Speaker 3: Has the definition of love changed for you guys after
Speaker 3: all these years together?
Speaker 1: Yes, how so, because there's I find it's like everything
Speaker 1: in life, there's not the fear of the unknown, but
Speaker 1: there's just there's expectation of the unknown. And then when
Speaker 1: you live it, you then through lived experience, you get
Speaker 1: to kind of change the definition for yourself and maybe
Speaker 1: for other people, but definitely for yourself. So what your
Speaker 1: expectation of love is, I don't think you'll ever find
Speaker 1: it is what I'd kind of believe all for me anyhow,
Speaker 1: not that I ever went out searching for love. It
Speaker 1: kind of it came to me naturally. So so it's
Speaker 1: such a I mean, it's for a four letter word,
Speaker 1: it has so much different meaning, in so much different
Speaker 1: depth and interpretation to it. And you know, whether it's
Speaker 1: whether it's even arguing and having or having some disagreement
Speaker 1: and resolving that that probably lovers helped resolve that even so,
Speaker 1: and that's so raw that that's a part of love
Speaker 1: as well. It's not all the good rosy bits and
Speaker 1: the stuff happens. Never do anything on Februar fourteen, but
Speaker 1: anything around that date, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But.
Speaker 6: So for me, we hate we are so antiloped.
Speaker 5: A lot of couples are though, I've noticed that, like
Speaker 5: a lot of couples.
Speaker 4: Like, oh, I can't bear it, like it's just.
Speaker 6: A being ripped off. I'm not going to pay triple
Speaker 6: the price for flowers like I'm a wog man, Like,
Speaker 6: don't rip me off.
Speaker 1: I'm going to test our relationship and bring home a
Speaker 1: bunch of servo roses on February fourteen.
Speaker 6: It goes down.
Speaker 3: It's it's also my least favorite flower wrote just remember
Speaker 3: the tea lights as well, mate, and lots of them.
Speaker 1: Thank you?
Speaker 2: What about you? And a definition of love change for
Speaker 2: you over the years aps.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel as though I sort of agree with Tim.
Speaker 6: But for me, you know, after seventeen years, I don't
Speaker 6: think about it as a separate feeling or as a
Speaker 6: separate thing. It's basically embedded in our relationship, that four
Speaker 6: letter word, and it has very as Tim said, it
Speaker 6: has different meanings, and it pops up when you need
Speaker 6: it and not in the mushy way all the time.
Speaker 6: And I do love that. And for me also, you know,
Speaker 6: in regards to feeling that love from Tim on a
Speaker 6: daily basis, I've never felt more protected and secure in
Speaker 6: my whole entire life. And I feel as though that
Speaker 6: that's definitely for me a aspect of feeling loved and
Speaker 6: being loved.
Speaker 1: And we've also said to each other that if ever
Speaker 1: there's any doubt in the relationship or there's any kind
Speaker 1: of issues, because we are I mean, we're very open
Speaker 1: with each other, like we just resolve any kind of problem,
Speaker 1: I mean, and as much we also try to keep
Speaker 1: our own individuality and identity as well. But we've always said,
Speaker 1: and we said this, like God over ten years ago,
Speaker 1: like even early in the relationship, if anything ever was
Speaker 1: a problem, let's talk about it. And if ever we
Speaker 1: had to kind of say this is it, we need
Speaker 1: to let it go. It's even that would be said
Speaker 1: out of love as well. It's kind of I love
Speaker 1: you enough to kind of say we're done. I mean,
Speaker 1: even I mean to a point of speaking of la
Speaker 1: I got a tattoo on my arm. Probably this would
Speaker 1: have been maybe red flags here about four or five
Speaker 1: years into our relationship, but I knew at that point
Speaker 1: and I just knew from the start, and I knew
Speaker 1: at that point if we were to break up tomorrow
Speaker 1: and I had this tattoo, I will still love the
Speaker 1: time that we had together enough to want to keep
Speaker 1: this on me.
Speaker 2: No, you just.
Speaker 6: Said, if we break up, then you can just go
Speaker 6: from AC and add Tor and just go actor.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but like only in the last was it last
Speaker 6: year and a half year? I actually got a tattoo
Speaker 6: of Tim's name.
Speaker 1: Fifteen years give me another fifteen years together?
Speaker 6: No, but I actually got Tim's name on my ring finger,
Speaker 6: So when I'm not wearing my ring, his name is
Speaker 6: on my finger. However, are no, but this is the thing.
Speaker 4: Did they spell it wrong?
Speaker 6: No, they just it didn't take because apparently you don't
Speaker 6: have enough fat or meat on your fingers. So I
Speaker 6: have to go back because basically the tattoo's faded. So
Speaker 6: I don't know what that says about a relationship.
Speaker 1: On his butt, he's got Chris Hemsworth.
Speaker 3: All right, Well let's let's jump in the shower and
Speaker 3: well we can wash that off your butt in the shower.
Speaker 3: We do a two minute showers, which means we keep
Speaker 3: the answers short, but we both want you to answer
Speaker 3: the question. Okay, first question, tough one. Who's best dressed me?
