Speaker 3: Is that correct?

15
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: Well? I am a bit of a creature of routine yep.

16
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: So when it came to the self isolation, it was

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: a matter of like, okay, well I'm not just going

18
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: to sit on the lounge in opening a can of

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: beer and wondering what's going on. Yeah. So about four

20
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: months ago I decided that I wanted to start guitar

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: guitar look and so while I was on Bloom, I

22
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: had an old guitar I got restrung and I would

23
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: take it down with me and I'd play it all

24
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: the time in my trailer while I was I played badly,

25
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: of course, but I played in my trailer all the time.

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: And I've played every day for the last four months,

27
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: and now I'm doing two sessions a day, and I

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 2: have to report that my playing isn't getting any better.

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: But I am not letting that. I'm not letting that

30
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: put me off because I'm having a great time doing it,

31
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: and I get totally involved and the hour, hour and

32
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: a half passes and I've, you know, to myself, I've

33
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: achieved something, and I'm really glad. Even though it's terrible

34
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: what I do, It's something that I couldn't even do before.

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: So now I can do it terribly one day, and

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: one day it won't be so terribleh.

61
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: I get to mix in it in things that I

62
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: would never have touched before and learn how what's happening

63
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: with young people and what interests them in their lives,

64
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: and anything that I can do that may help a

65
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 2: little bit will be is worthwhile, isn't it.

66
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: Bloom is a series all about the opportunity to be

67
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: young again. Are those twenty five years out of Bankstown?

68
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Were you a bit of trouble.

69
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: For mum, Brian? Or were you would be? Were you

70
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 3: a perfect young man to deal with?

71
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: Basically I lived on the end of the suburbs, which

72
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: involves swamps, houses being built that you could climb into,

73
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: the attics, sewerage place putting down into which you could

74
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: huge things you could run through from one one suburb

75
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: or the other. And did you get into a bit

76
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: of strife? Of course you got into a bit of strife.

77
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: Mum had bringing out the bloody some belt she found

78
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: somewhere and whack it around my legs. And I think

79
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: twice before I did it the next time. I'd still

80
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: do it the next time.

81
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: But I Brian in particular, do you remember doing that?

82
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: You really got in trouble for?

83
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, on locking oranges from the greengrocer, knock off

84
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: an orange once a week as I walked past, which

85
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: is and I made the fatal mistake one day of

86
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: taking the bottom orange, and the whole bloody lot came up.

87
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: About Oh, so you are back.

88
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk about bloom It's back for the second series. God,

89
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: it's such a great one and like I said, everyone's

90
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: trying to be young again.

91
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: Can you tell what can you tell us about the

92
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 3: second series? Brian? Does it get even more weirder?

93
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: Well, well, a second yeah. Well, like the first series

94
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: was about a berry that if you, that had grown

95
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 2: from where five people died in our blood, and that

96
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: bury gave people the opportunity to go back to a

97
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 2: younger time in their life where they possibly had a

98
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: regret and they could try to fix that regret. In

99
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 2: this second series, it's the second generation and the people

100
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: that took that and died now have a plant growing

101
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: from them. So the bury it operates in a different way.

102
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: And also people have heard about it outside of the

103
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: little town, some for for different reason. And once again

104
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: it's the drive to find the berries, but for the

105
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: reasons the reasons are very very different and now and

106
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: what the berry does to you is very very different now.

107
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: Well, mate, it's always a pleasure to talk to you,

108
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: mister Brown. You know we love you to death. And

109
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: all the episodes of season two of the stand original

Speaker 1: that over Easter. You know we'll get a performance out

113
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: of you on the guitar.

114
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 3: It's as well.

115
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: Let me tell you, I would love to perform for

116
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: you on guitar. I doubt that I'm ever going to

117
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: be capable of doing that without embarrassing myself totally, but

118
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: I do want to do it.

119
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: Rian, What about this?

120
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: What if we did a duet where you mate sam

121
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: Neil was on guitar, but both of you saying you

122
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: do that?

123
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 3: That would be no.

124
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do that at all because he knows how

125
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: to play the bloody thing. And also you can hold

126
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: a note. I can I do either of those things.

127
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: I'm not going to make an answer myself, just offering mate.

128
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: I love you, Brian, thanks for coming on the show.
