1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: So this is the deal.

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 2: We spoke to Richard Wilkins about a week and a

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: half ago. He had interviewed Abba, but the two females

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: in the band, one of them, Agneta, is a very

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: private person.

6
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 3: Doesn't do interviews.

7
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Well, this is the thing. They got off at a

8
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: billion dollars to do a world tour. The girls knocked

9
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: it back because they don't want to tour anymore. Obviously

10
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: they dislike touring. So take that into account when we

11
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: do this interview.

12
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Think about Richard Wilkins too, Is he so professional?

13
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 4: Like I remember I've had a couple of big nights

14
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 4: out with Dickie and he will go home early to

15
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 4: get up at five am to speak to someone. He

16
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 4: had a Shania Twain interview after the Akras the Radio

17
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 4: Awards one year. He wasn't going to miss it. Maybe

18
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 4: he was up at five for Shania.

19
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: When you say he goes home early, that's three in

20
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: the morning.

21
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I get instead at five.

22
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: So Dicky interviewed Abba, but then was told we set

23
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: this up through the record company. Richard, you have only

24
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: got one of the very few interviews with Agniica. She

25
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: hasn't done an interview for over thirty years. She's going

26
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: to do one with Australia. You've got it. Dicky was

27
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: really nervous. Little did he know that we'd set up

28
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: the whole interview and we got a Swedish woman by

29
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: the name of Anna as Agneta and we were in

30
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: her ear.

31
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 5: Just poor can I just if you're listening when we

32
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 5: wrote this, we were in a pretty immature mood, right,

33
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 5: so we direct her with quite a few things.

34
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: But there's other answers that were written down on a

35
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: set o you. He were laughing so hard whilst this

36
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: was happening.

37
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: All right, he's here's Dicky's interview with a Yetta from Abba.

38
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 3: Well you're just talking to that, yeah, one to one

39
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: two one to test check one, two, three, four five six.

40
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: So should I be looking at the screen?

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 6: Okay, Hey, universe, we've got Richard here.

Speaker 3: What a big what a big occasion. Hey, and I've

57
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 3: got to say congratulations on on the two songs that

58
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: we've heard so far. When they first played you the songs,

59
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: I'm sure you were a little bit apprehensively. Gee, I hope,

60
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: I hope I like the song. I hope I like

61
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 3: the songs.

62
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I thought it was pretty che actually first

63
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 7: time I heard it.

64
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 8: Don't say that out loud, but yeah, it's.

65
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: Going to be amazing that we all get to see

66
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: you in concert. Tell me about the process of putting

67
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: the Voyage show together.

68
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 7: Well, you know, I've never liked touring. I've never liked

69
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 7: being on stage. Really, it's the recording that I like.

70
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 7: Like touring massive balls really to me. But I think

71
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 7: once we got it together and we got to see

72
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 7: that our old selves, I was more comfortable.

73
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: Your biography The Girl with the Golden Hair also being

74
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: re released here in Australia. How important is it for

75
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: people to know you as you?

76
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 9: Not just.

77
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 8: Did you read it? Did you read that? Thought?

78
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: I've sort of I've sort of scooped through it a bit,

79
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: but I do want to well go and I think

80
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: I probably read it back in the day.

81
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 8: I think you should go and read it.

82
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 7: Otherwise you're not a very good detective, are you.

83
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: Well, one tries one does one's best do.

84
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 8: Your research first.

85
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, okay, thank you. What would it take

86
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: to get you live on stage again one day? A

87
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 3: couple of bottles of one, A.

88
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 8: Couple of bottles of wines? I think, I think, yes.

89
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: Are you aware? Do you know how big? Ever? And

90
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,320

Speaker 7: But we would love actually to come back and tour again.

95
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 3: But like I said, hearing sax balls ever.

96
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 7: But to me, as I said, you know, touring sucks

97

Speaker 7: balls like.

98
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: We do understand that expression here in Australia. I would

Speaker 3: never say that to you. But yeah, well thank you.

00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,560

Speaker 9: it was her.

134
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 10: It took me about a minute, I reckon, Sarah to

135
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 10: sink in, because you know this was you. You are

136
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 10: such a cunning, devious bunch of people who I regarded

137
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 10: as friends for many years. You know, our program director

138
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 10: and my dear friend. He called me in early to

139
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 10: do my my ever special on smooth with Benny and

140
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 10: Biornall whoever the hell that may have been. It might

141
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 10: have been Tom and Jerry full down the spot.

142
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: It was legitimate.

143
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: That one was legitimate.

144
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 10: But then you know, he said, oh look, you know,

145
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 10: so it was completely shut up and your your devious

146
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 10: producer Jess was there and she said it's through management.

147
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 10: You know, I saw the record company, so I didn't

148
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 10: smell a rat, which which annoys me profusely. And it

149
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 10: took me a full minute when I was a city

150
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 10: there in shock, having prepared my questions with a little

151
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 10: bit of help from you guys, obviously on the way

152
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 10: toward and I got home and Christian, my son, and

153
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 10: Nicola and my partner were here, and I walked in

154
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 10: the door and I had They said, what's the matter,

155
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 10: and I said, and they said, you've got a weird

156
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 10: look on your face. And I said, I can't believe

157
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 10: what just happened.

158
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: What was what?

159
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: What was the moment in the interview when it started

160
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: where you thought, oh this is a bit off here?
