Speaker 5: But you know, I wanted to talk to you guys.

Speaker 1: This is how good you are.

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: And you know what I didn't know. You've won eight

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: Aris yourself.

15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 5: Nat isn't that crazy? It's crazy even we're in the

16
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 5: one night, and then I think I got one the

17
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 5: next year. I can't recall, but I just remember by

18
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 5: the third one, I was apologizing because I was so Australian. Sorry,

19
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 5: so sorry about that. And then they were in storage

20
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 5: for years and I only got them out last year.

21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 5: Oh yes, suddenly I'm like bragging about them. And when

22
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 5: I do songwriting sessions, I'm like, look look at the mantle.

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 4: Not only are you obviously out the hours, you're hosting,

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 4: which is a massive role on Lewis Capaldi, who was

25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 4: meant to be here, was going to be your co host.

26
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: So what have they what are they doing now?

27
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 5: I've got the amazing G slips O great, great, you

28
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 5: love me? Ye with co hosting, so that'll be a

29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 5: good laugh and we'll see how we go. I mean,

30
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 5: there's a lot of live performances. It's not like heavy

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 5: heavy on scripted or it's pretty fast paced. So hopefully

32
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 5: I can do it. Do you know what I said?

33
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 2: Yes?

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 5: I didn't really think it true. I've done this before. Yeah,

35
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 5: I'm slightly terrified, but we'll be fine.

36
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: I was going to say, are you nervous about it?

37
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: Do they have like in terms of the script writing

38
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 4: that they've got someone's funny?

39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 5: They wouldn't ask me, so anyone expecting funny.

40
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: You're funny? Have they got a one liner that they've

41
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: written for you, mat or.

42
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: Anything like that they do? Oh, yes, it might, it

43
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: might land you've.

44
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Got to go.

45
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: If you've got to go involved with the Olivia Newton

46
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: John tribute tonight, I might be. I might not be, yes,

47
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: because we sucked in the Peaking Duck Boys. Adam and

48
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: Rubin are involved.

49
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: We know that, but this is I mean.

50
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 5: You've got up some things up please.

51
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, Chris Martin got you up to perform

52
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: some love and is that correct?

53
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 5: That's right. Basically, he's the one that he sent me

54
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 5: a message when he found out Olivia had passed, and

55
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 5: then I kind of went into shock. He said, thank

56
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 5: you so much for introducing her to us all those

57
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 5: years ago, and he said, we should definitely do one

58
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 5: of her songs when you when you come to sing

59
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 5: sing with us. And I was up for hours, just

60
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 5: in shock, traumatized, you know, because she was a massive

61
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 5: part of my childhood. And yeah, I mean I just

62
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 5: remember singing her songs and wanting to be her. And

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 5: I didn't know her very well at all. But the

64
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 5: interactions I did have with her, the first one was

65
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 5: at the Arias when she wanted me to introduce my

66
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 5: husband Daniel to Chloe. So it was as a mum

67
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 5: and she should not have been nicer. She was divine.

68
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 5: And the one thing that struck me was how she

69
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 5: remained gracious in a career that can chew you up

70
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: and fit you out, and you know, she was just

71
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 5: angelic almost and how she could stay like that, you know,

72
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 5: in an industry that's pretty intense. And as a human being,

73
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 5: she was just a great person, a really kind, caring person,

74
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 5: phenomenal talent and a doting mum.

75
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: So well said, do you see Pink's tribute at the

76
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: American Music Awards. It was unbelievable.

77
00:03:46,040 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 5: She just looked incredible and she sounded amazing. I was

78
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 5: welling up.

79
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,559
Speaker 2: No, I'm really excited about that tonight because beautifully, uniquely Australian,

80
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: she's an icon here. I think this tribute is going

81
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: to be unbelievable. You know, and your relationship with Chris

82
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: Martin as well. I didn't know this, but Chris Martin,

83
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: your relationship goes way back. He even wrote a few

84
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: songs for your previous albums, did he?

85
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: And did he.

86
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: Also give you a cold Play song as well to

87
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: use on your album? Is that correctly?

88
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 5: Lucas a beautiful song called Lucas?

89
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

90
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 5: Wow, Yeah, that's the album come to life that ironically

91
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 5: didn't come to life. I love that. I am funny.

92
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 1: How did you go with Andre Bacelli?

93
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 4: What was it like singing with him? And he's good looking,

94
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 4: rooster of a son man.

95
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: He turned a few heads.

96
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 5: Do you know? I didn't even have a rehearsal. We

97
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 5: just had a sound check. I had one day to

98
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 5: pack up them by UK shows and then was on

99
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 5: the plane and literally turned up soundcheck on stage with orchestra,

100
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 5: and I was absolutely terrified.

101
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: I loved your performance with Holly Valance in the finale

102
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: of Neighbors. But you have heard that Neighbors is coming back?

103
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: Who told you?

104
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: How did you find out?

105
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 5: I think I got a Google alert? Google alert on myself?

106
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 5: Is that bad?

107
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: No, I've got that too. Doesn't go on.

108
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 5: You've ever been caught out with that? This is the

109
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 5: best tip. Get Google alert on yourself if you're in

110
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 5: the public eye. No before everyone. You don't have to

111
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: say yes, I already know that.

112
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know what?

113
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 3: What's some of the stuff?

114
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: What are the some of the headlines?

115
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: Though that you've got through a Google alert and gone

116
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: wait up, this is a bit dodgy.

117
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 5: Oh, I can't think off the top of my head. Honestly,

118
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 5: you can have a little ugly cry in the privacy

119
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 5: of your own home and then you get game fased

120
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 5: on and you're ready.

121
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: The other one is well now, and I really love this,

122
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: But Daniel did wish you and said you're going to

123
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: be an amazing host tonight for the ARI Awards, and

124
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: and someone asked him a question and then there was

125
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: a headline of they've rekindled their relationship and all this

126
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: kind of stuff.

127
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 5: We had him on the other days. That's rubbish. It's

128
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 5: nice that we're in a good place. I think, you know,

129
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 5: I'm really happy about that.

130
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: Can I just say Daniel's podcast was unbelievable now, and

131
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: for you to go on there and and just for

132
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: you guys to talk to each other again and remember

133
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: those old times.

134
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: It was a really, really lovely podcast.

135
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it.

136
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 5: Well, I was honored to be asked, and I think

137
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 5: it was castartic to both of us. And yeah, I

138
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 5: just loved that he's making music. I love this album.

139
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: Well, we had him on the other day now, and

140
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: he was good. He was really good.

141
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 4: I was almost a little bit nervous about it because

142
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 4: I wasn't sure what to expect. I don't think we've

143
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 4: had him on the show. It was awesome, but he

144
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 4: was really good.

145
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 5: He's funny. He should be hosting the funny Daniel John's here.

146
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: Well.

147
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: Is he nominated tonight?

148
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 5: I think he is nominated. He's well deserved as well.

149
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: Nat you are. I mean we've had some you know what, Nat,

Speaker 2: sing it through in their cars.

156
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: On the way. Let's have a listen to this Stave
