Speaker 4: rural part of Western Australia to the biggest stage in

19
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,080

20
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: Jo, Can you tell us about your life growing up? Like,

21
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: was it a simple life? You're out in the farm,

22
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: was it?

23
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean? What was around you?

24
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 4: I mean like it was probably simple for rom like

25
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 4: a lot of people looking at but like to me,

26
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 4: it was very complex in terms of just like learning

27
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 4: and experiencing, you know, because now we have phones and

28
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 4: it's like you have Google and it's like it will

29
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 4: tell you how to plant a vegetable. Back then it's

30
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 4: like you have to watch it die multiple times how

31
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 4: to grow it?

32
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: No wonder you wanted a different interest in music, but

33
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: you like, can I bring this up as well? Apparently

34
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: you were handy with the leather as well. Apparently you

35
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: were good with the footy with a football in your hand.

36
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

37
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

38
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 4: I used to play a semi professional in Western Australia.

39
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: Was there a moment where you had to choose between

40
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: footy and music?

41
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was.

42
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 4: I think it was in like twenty sixteen. My passion

43
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: for it it was still there, but it was like,

44
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 4: you know what has more longevity? And it was just

45
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: everything was knocking on my door being like you need

46
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 4: to do this.

47
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: Man, what a story.

48
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: So you talked to your mum and dad about it?

49
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: Do you go?

50
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Guys?

51
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: Look, footy is great and I'd love to have a

52
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: run for the Eagles, but I've got this desire, I've

53
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 3: got this burning ambition.

Speaker 3: Dumb, like you've just won something in a scout hoold.

59
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,480

60
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 4: like different vegetables or something.
