00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I know you're close to John and he

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: lived right next to you. But you think that you

14
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: could maybe do a bit of talk back one day.

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: I can see myself doing that.

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I like it with long pauses where you

17
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,400

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well you have a think you're about to say.

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,720

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: up every part of the air constantly because you don't

21
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: want your audience to fall asleep while they're driving to work.

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 4: You could do a love songs and dedications.

Speaker 3: So yes, what's going on with your boys this morning.

24

Speaker 4: Gigt that's called well when it comes to that.

57
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: A funny night there. One night, man, I met Malmon Dinger.

58
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: We're on a flight together, so we got talking and

59
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: became mates, you know, and then told him I was

60
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: playing at the bridge, you know, and he said I

61
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: might turn up with a couple of mates. You know.

62
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: So we're playing at the bridge and I look out

63
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: into the audience and I realized that, you know, I've

64
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: been talking to Nicole Kidman a few weeks earlier, and

65
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: she's turned up and she's got Tom Cruise with it. Right. Well,

66
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: we're playing at the bridge and there's Tom Nicole. No.

67
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: I look over. Malmon Inger's walking in the door and

68
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: he's got the entire Australian Super League and the place

69
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: is already jammed now you know, twenty five gigantic league players.

70
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 4: What a crowd.

71
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: That is awesome? Was Ricky Ricky Steart was a canber

72
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: Raider with him. I just wanted to bring up that

73
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: name with you, Russell, because I don't think he's too

74
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: happy with you at the moment, because there are whispers

75
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: that you've taken away his star player and brought him

76
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: to the rabbit Os.

77
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 3: Russ, Well, I heard that on the television last night too,

78
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: So we'll see if that is what it is.

79
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: You know, hey, Russ, can I throw something at you've

80
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: been thinking about this?

81
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: We go?

82
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 4: I love what you did with the book, the Book

83
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: of Feuds. I love it.

84
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: You commissioned it and you chronicled all the rivalries with

85
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: other teams. And I absolutely adore that because I think

86
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: being a footballer myself, stuff like that is always great motivation.

87
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: Have you ever thought and maybe when your career is

88
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: sort of at the end, could you bring the.

89
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: End of the career.

90
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 4: No, I don't know where he's going, Russ. I'm just

91
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 4: saying you.

92
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: Could you bring out a book of feuds about Hollywood?

93
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: One day?

94
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's probably been plenty of terms already written

95
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: about that. Book.

96
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: That would be amazing, and you know what, no one

97
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: else gets to see it. You commission that you write it.

98
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: But the Book of Feuds is there and it becomes

99
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: this with age. It just gets bigger and bigger, and

100
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: everyone wants everyone wants to know from that era or

101
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: that generation, like the.

102
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: Wu Tang idea they did with that album. Yes, they

103
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: only sold one copy of the original concept was that

104
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: they would sell the one copy and then the person

105
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 3: that held the one copy would hold listening parties at

106
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: the great museums around the world, like at the Loup. Yeah,

107
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: and then the dude the bottom. I don't want to

108
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: do it.

109
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: I'm going to stream.

110
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: That is amazing. Write a Hollywood book at fews and

111
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 3: you have to go to the Museum of Modern Art

112
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 3: listen to a page read out.

113
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: Can I ask Russell when you talk about, you know,

114
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: the Bridge Hotel, what is the best venue around the

115
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,119
Speaker 1: world that you've played at.

116
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: There's a place in London called the Union Chapel. It

117
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 3: is so gorgeous, man, It's such a gorgeous space to

118
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: be standing. You know, I've looked on a lot of staggers, man.

119
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: You know, I've sung on stage at Carntei Hall. I've done.

120
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: I did Royal Albert Hall. Yeah, I've become mates with

121
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 3: Elvis Costella. He heard I was doing Lame Mis at

122
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: the time. I was shooting in London. He heard I

123
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: was around, so just sent me an email. Listen, man,

124
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: I'm on at the Royal Aulet Hall. I want to

125
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: sing Trouble, the Elvis Presley song with you, and I

126
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 3: want you to do the Fulton Prison Blues. Oh man.

127
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: And I was like, yes, I've walked on the stage

128
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 3: at you know, full House at Royal Albert Hall as well,

129
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 3: but yeah, that venue in London, the Union Chapel, that's

130
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: pretty special.

131
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 4: Oh then what about Canberra for Groove in the Move.

132
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: We saw that with Amy and obviously you know what

133
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 2: Amy got up with you in the indoor garden party.

134
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: So an amazing thing for you to do, to go

135
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: and support her when she was performing Russ may Day.

136
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: It was fantastic. It was a pretty funny moment though,

137
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: because the backstage and She's like I'm going to introduce

138
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: you and you come on and I'm like we're doing

139
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: the song Psycho right, So the male voughtice doesn't come

140
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: into one minute into the song. You introduced me. I

141
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: come out stand there, sketchman. It's probably not the coolest.

142
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: What am I going to do?

143
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: I said, So why don't you just start the song?

144
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: I'll just walk out and start, you know, And she goes, yeah,

145
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: but what if people don't know it's you? I'm like, well,

146
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 3: you know, they might. You don't have to name, but

147
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: if you want to say somebody today, are you not entertained? Wow?

148
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: She said, just to make sure people know who you are?

149
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: Can you come out as Maximus?

150
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: Is that I might actually end up doing that again

151
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: with her somewhere down the track. So you've give me

152
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 3: an idea.

153
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 4: There you go. This is great and you know so Russ.

154
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: It's the Bridge Hotel Friday nineteenth May and Saturday twentieth

155
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: for May. That'll sell out really really quickly because I mean,

156
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: the Bridge is an amazing venue, but you need to

157
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,320
