Speaker 2: Well, we absolutely ado all this means I'm really looking

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 2: thank you.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: It's true, the biggest one. It's very easy to say

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: that when you haven't started right. It's a good promise

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: to be able to make at the start of the tour.

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it can all go pair of shape.

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 3: It might not happen right. But mean the amount of

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 3: seats in the arena or does it mean the amount

13
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 3: of places you go?

14
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean anything?

15
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 4: How many? I mean?

16
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean I can watch that Tom Hanks movie before

17
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: we go whatevery night that might do. I don't know,

18
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: listen to some Biggie smalls. I don't know what it

19
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: means and means I'll be at my top weight. I

20
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: don't know what it means.

21
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: With are you going out of the country? Will?

22
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the idea is actually fits that so basically like

23
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: because obviously there was some stuff that went on that

24
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: meant it was very hard to tour, but also I

25
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of other jobs, and that just means

26
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: it's really hard to put in place like and so

27
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: a year will go by and I never got to

28
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: anywhere that people that I was going to get to.

29
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: And so what I've decided to do this is a

30
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: very sensible thing. I'm going to do a tour over

31
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: two years instead of one new show every single year.

32
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: So basically I'm doing Australia and then next year I'm

33
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: going to take the show international.

34
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: Are you at the rolling stone stage of your life now, Will,

35
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: where you just you know, only weekends you perform, you

36
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: perform between every two weeks and you have a bit

37
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: of time off in between that start.

38
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: Having children, just randomly rolling our kids this age of

39
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: the life.

40
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: If you've done many sort of country gigs where maybe

41
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 3: people aren't as familiar with your work, you mean.

42
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Different countries or just country Australia. Part of Australia thinks

43
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: not familiar with my work public over the last twenty

44
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: five years, you can't have missed me. The main feedback

45
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: I get is there's a little too much of me

46
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: that they don't know who I am all.

47
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: If you had people that go bloody Will and Anderson

48
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 3: wasn't a year last year.

49
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: These country folks that are trying to wash the dust

50
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 4: down the back of the throat.

51
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 3: I don't know about that, bloody Will Anderson black Mane.

52
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: I am country. I don't know what you're like that

53
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: you can even do that voice in front of me,

54
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: because that's classes what you did. Come on, yeah, straight

00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

63
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 5: Tim?

64
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah? I mean like the old country areas are

65
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: the same to you. Guys can't go to the city

66
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: and you're just like, oh, pigs are.

67
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 5: Cow, pigs, sheeper goats, tam Worth the same place as Dennison.

68
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 5: As long as out of the city, Well do you go.

69
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: Back there for you tour?

70
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: Do you always make sure you get back to the

71
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: home down?

72
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: What what is he doing in Cape?

73
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: And I know what? I don't know how country you are,

74
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 4: but I went to an agricultural high school and come

75
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 4: from rural roots as well.

76
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 5: And.

77
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: Careful I didn't say that.

78
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: I'm likely offended by this kind of action as well.

79
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, mate, that's too much like that's how my

80
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: dad actually speaks what you're doing. He's like eighty years old.

81
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: My dad not once has he ever moved his lips.

82
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't need to. That's what you do with your farmer.

83
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: You just like open a slit in all the words,

84
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: just like slide out of that tiny little slip us

85
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: up the food and just leads it in.

86
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: Where do you perform in Dennison? What's the local venue

87
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: that you perform at? Will Well?

88
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: This is it's so funny that you are because I

89
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: actually don't go so basically so Dennison's two fifty people,

90
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: So there's not our local knew that really suits the

91
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: cost that it might take me to go down there.

92
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: I stayed at Mum and dads. That's that's a lost leader.

93
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Even if you get the entire area, it's not really

94
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: one that you can financially fit into the schedule. But

95
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: the nearest big town is Sale. I went to school

96
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: in Sale and sell in Sales about twelve thousand people

97
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: and they have a venue and I used to go

98
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: to Sale, and of course my shows would sell very

99
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: well in Sale and I stopped going to sale. And

100
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: the reason I stopped going to sale is that I

101
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: discovered something very unusual, which is that in anywhere else

102
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: in Australia or the world, if someone doesn't like something

103
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: that I do, they can hit me up. I'm available

104
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: on social media and they'll tell me that they didn't

105
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: like something I did or something I said. But when

106
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: I do gigs in Sale, they tell mum and dad.

107
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Dad suddenly were getting all a lot of director. They'd

108
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: be down the news agency or whatever and someone had

109
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: just be like, you know, your son said this, and

110
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: they're like, could you please not come back here? I

111
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: don't know, that's funny.

112
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: Well, I wanted to get you involved because I know

113
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: you've been involved with radio over the years and world

114
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 2: record attempts and all this kind of stuff. But we

115
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: have been talking about a guy called Sam Thompson has

116
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: just broken the record. I don't know if you know,

117
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: but Blue Monday over in the UK is well, it's

118
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: classified as the most depressing day in the UK, which

119
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: out of three hundred and sixty five. I think there's

120
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: a few other days that are as well. But he's

121
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: decided to turn that around and go for the world

122
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: record for the most hugs in one minute, Will eighty eight.

123
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: Now what I've found out. I tried for this record

124
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: probably about a year ago, and Tommy, our producer, set

125
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: this up.

126
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: You've got that there, Tommy, it will sound morph suit

127
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: their will.

128
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: So Sam's just broken the record for eighty eight. This

129
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: was my record, and this is what I went for,

130
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 2: and this is my result.

131
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: All right.

132
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: The pace has been really steady. I'd say this is

133
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 3: a recording record breaking pace. We get in and out,

134
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 3: keep going out. They're evening fast. He's starting to slightly

135
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: running out of pace. Kids cuckling for six five, keep

136
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: doing two one stop touch your birth line. The official

137
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 3: number of hugs was one hundred fifty.

138
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: Now found out Will. The documents weren't or they weren't.

139
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,119
Speaker 2: We didn't register properly. The paperwork wasn't right. We didn't

140
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: even have a representative there.

141
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: I was told.

142
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: So this world record, which I hold, was not official,

143
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: and unfortunately the hug muncher did not get the record.

144
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you did that very upset much. I

145
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: mean you actually still got it.

146
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: You can't call it a world record, a Guinness World record, because.

147
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: What a beer company thinks about your word records you did.

148
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: I saw it. There's video evidence of the fact that

149
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: it happened. If you see it, it happened. That wasn't ai.

150
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: I saw you hugging all those complete I mean that

151
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: is a workplace. I mean that. I hope that all

152
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: the paperwork of you just randomly touching strangers was done,

153
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: because that's actually what might come back to haunt you.

154
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 5: About it.

155
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: This is a trigger point for Will. That was a

156
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: triple M Christmas party, right, I mean one.

157
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: Guy even took his shirt off.

158
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: You can see there too, Will.

159
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: That was Matt de Groot, who was so passionate about

192
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: this joke, and to this day, I believe this is

193
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: one of the greatest jokes that has ever been told

194
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: because she comes up to me six years old. Because

195
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: they all know that I'm a comedian, but they don't

196
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: really quite know what that means. They got to understand

197
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: what jokes are, so they always want to tell me

198
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: a joke, and this was hers. She comes up to

199
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: me because up until this point they're all knocks and

200
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: banana jokes and all that sort of stuff, and this

201
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: is her first. Like I'm going to say, this is

202
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: a proper joke. She goes, hey, uncle, will do you
