00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: Do they there must be You've been doing this for

13
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: a few years now.

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: You did Guess Whom as well, which was quite popular

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 3: as well.

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: Do they know about it now?

17
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: Andy?

18
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 3: Do they get a little bit nervous walking in because

19
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: they don't know what to expect?

20
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: Now?

21
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 4: This, I mean, this is a second You did Mini

22
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 4: hundred for the Australian Open edition and thankfully they burst

23
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 4: in and they want to do it because they don't

24
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 4: get asked about their injury or how they're going to

25
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 4: how they get a fair that stuff. But when you

26
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 4: first do it, like the first year we did any

27
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 4: of this stuff, we didn't have anyone's permission and We

28
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 4: booked the room next door to their international press conference,

29
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 4: so we knew that they'd be sitting there, and we

30
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 4: had just a charming producer and myself sit out in

31
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 4: the hallway and say, you've got ten minutes free. This

32
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 4: will take you seven minutes because we only have six

33
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 4: minutes with every player, And then they only took one

34
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 4: of them to go, oh, yeah, I'll come in because

35
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 4: I'm bored, and then came out laughing, and the next

36
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 4: person standing in line for the international press commence went,

37
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 4: I'll do it. So that's how it all started. But

38
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 4: it's hard because you never know who's coming. They might say,

39
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: you know, they've got they've got Medvedev coming in and

40
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 4: then and then suddenly sits the pass rocks up and

41
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 4: you've got to dust up a little bit.

42
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: Like I reckon.

43
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 5: That's a good selling point for someone that's you know,

44
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 5: those players are very focused on what they're doing. But

45
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 5: to be able to go you've got ten minutes, I

46
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 5: need seven to them. That's a win, isn't it all.

47
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: The other thing is they all watch the broadcast, the

48
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: host broad cast in any nation they go to so

49
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 4: every night, and they're all arrogant.

50
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: They want limelight.

51
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 4: So every night they watch and they go, hang on,

52
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: how come that person on that and I'm not on it?

53
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: So then we.

54
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 4: Start getting then we start getting their requests coming through.

55
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: When are you playing ours? When you play ours?

56
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: Although I did, I accidentally played the anthem of a

57
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 4: country that we're not recognizing, Russia. So I've got a

58
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 4: little sound effects booth and i fire off little sound effects.

59
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 4: They're all coming in and I hadn't really dust up

60
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 4: on my geopolitical.

61
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: Incidents.

62
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, the w t A had to pop their

63
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 4: head in and say, hey, we might have to adjust

64
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: the sound of the welcoming sound effect of that particular play.

65
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: Just this one song we're just going to take out

66
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: of the top ten.

67
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: It's just kicked off the war again.

68
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: What happened to the Australian.

69
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: Any sound pad?

70
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god?

71
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: You can I know at the moment you and b

72
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: is it true?

73
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: Are you about to renovate an eighteen forty seven home?

74
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: Like is this a heritage? Is this not the biggest

75
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: nightmare I've ever heard in my life?

76
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

77
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's eighteen seventy six, got no running water,

78
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 4: no electricity, grass growing through the walls, and the most

79
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 4: recent thing that happened was the ceiling fell in. Besides that,

80
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: it's awesome.

81
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god, is this is this something?

82
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 5: You're just mad?

83
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: You We bought it on a whim. Really, it was

84
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 4: just saw it and thought, gee, we wanted to place,

85
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: always wanted to place on the Yarra. I'm a bit

86
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 4: of a Melbourne person, so yeah, we didn't know. I

87
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 4: didn't know any of the rules around the heritage or

88
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 4: any of that stuff. Yeah, so we're kind of just

89
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: wading through that stuff. Bit of admin whip normally Europe

90
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: normally Europe for admin. So I'm surprised you haven't come

91
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 4: past and help me out with it.

92
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: You got to shuffle the papers a little bit. Now,

93
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: you got to shove on the papers. That's okay, we'll

94
00:03:59,400 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: go through it.

95
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: Well, especially with the atos around that's.

96
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: A different story altogether. But you know, you keep it

97
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: off shore and everybody find.

98
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 5: And when do you start on a project like that,

99
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 5: do you want backstand out the front and go get

100
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 5: them to do the front room, or do we landscape first,

101
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 5: or do we go and get one of those really

102
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 5: little modern ecopods.

103
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: And you can't live in the main house at the moment.

104
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 5: Do we put an eco pod on the property and

105
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 5: live in that for a bit, you.

106
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: Know, like you know, Whip the way he lives in

107
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 4: his Eastern suburbs ecopods and most of us just get

108
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 4: a caravan, but.

109
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: Mom and dad does.

110
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 3: No.

111
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 4: Look, we've got great designers. First we went out to

112
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: it's a bit awkward actually, Whip one of our good friends.

113
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 4: He is a great architect, he is. I said, would

114
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 4: he do it? And he said, look, you should really

115
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 4: look at other people, and you don't want to just

116
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: get this job because we're mates. And so we looked

117
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 4: at four or five architects and then he didn't end

118
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 4: up getting.

119
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: The There'll be a lunch in it somewhere, that's.

120
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 4: But we're really lucky. David Flack is an amazing design

121
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 4: of people in the design world. He's top one hundred

122
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: architectural design around the world. And so he's come on,

123
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 4: and that's where you start, because it did start with

124
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: me just drawing like, oh, we could possibly do.

125
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: This and this and this, and when professionals actually, wow,

126
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: that's so cute.

127
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: With trampoline next to him.

128
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: And so now we've trying to work out how to

129
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 4: bring the costs down pretty much.

130
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: That's exactly what's that much fun?

131
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 5: And let's talk about the hundred Yes, get what you're

Speaker 4: or children? That We've got a new game called this

139
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: or That where we just asked what's their preference on

00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,200
