1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: You're on the air with Jason Lauren. Clint's here as well.

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Let's say hello to our next guest.

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Our next guest has had a very impressive entertainment career.

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 3: He's done radio, here's done television.

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 4: He's released to I Rean nominated albums. Really, sometimes it

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 4: pays to simply just be annoying.

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 3: The only thing more impressive is perhaps the greatest charity

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: work he's been doing with Fight MND.

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 5: Please welcome to the shows, Mada, Good morning.

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 4: Rodeo has come a long way. Like a fully produced intro.

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we don't around, but still getting the facts

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 4: wrong like we used to did we What did we

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 4: get wrong? Four albums not two?

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 6: And then nicely flex.

15
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 4: Because I know a lot of it will come off Wikipedia,

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 4: which also has the wrong place for where I was conceived.

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 7: Oh Wikipedia, anyone can make things up, I think.

18
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: Seven years anyone can edit it. But I do know

19
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 4: that someone famous got court editing their own. They difficult.

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 4: I can't tell you.

21
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 7: You can tell half the story, yeah, Commentator Brian Taylor,

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 7: Bruce mcave.

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 4: I want to talk about other things.

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 6: We'll get to that now.

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 7: Many people, I mean you are now the CEO of

26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 7: fight MND. But many people will remember you if they're

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 7: in the cars and they're just hearing your voice, will

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 7: remember you from your radio days.

29
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: Ye possibly how many years so old are they've still

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 4: got their license?

31
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 6: Many years?

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 4: Did you do Brecky twenty five?

33
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 7: Wow? Because Matt Tilly was the reason I wanted to

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 7: get into radio, because we did do right at a

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 7: time when Matt was doing the Matt and Joe Show.

36
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 7: Joe was off I think for a week and I

37
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 7: was maybe twenty, and I feeled.

38
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 6: It did you how did you go? Or how did she?

39
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 4: Was brilliant and can I say backed up on the

40
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 4: Tuesday after the Brownlow, Oh yeah, she.

41
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 6: Would have been a treat to work with that.

42
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 4: Well, I'd a walk of shame, doown Clarendon.

43
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 7: It was actually a walk of shame, I think because

44
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 7: I'd worn this really expensive necklace to the brown Load.

45
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 7: It was like three hundred thousand dollars and I've had

46
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 7: a few too many champagnes the night before and we

47
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 7: couldn't get it off, so like to turn up to

48
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 7: the radio.

49
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 4: Showing his like just hung our headphones off.

50
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: It was that in this building as well.

51
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you spent many years in this building, if

52
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 4: only the walls could talk.

53
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 6: We always say everything was recorded.

54
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: We always wonder if we'll be hanging out together in

55
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: ten years. Do you still hang out with the your co hosts?

56
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,520

00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 6: d Yeah?

Speaker 7: doing a In fact, Jason, you popped down to and

72
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 7: said hello. Now, the Big Freeze is a massive event

73
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 7: on the calendar here in Melbourne. In fact, I would

74
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 7: say it's one of the conic footy games of the year.

75
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 7: You've got the big slide. Who have we got going

76
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 7: down at so far?

77
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 4: Likeiconic Australians is the theme and they all some could

78
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: go as themselves Mark Taylor. So there's a bit of sporty.

79
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 5: Stuff slide, you should be going down the side.

80
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 4: I've been iced a bit in the last week. I

81
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 4: got to say I went down. I went down a

82
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 4: slide in a Gold Coast yesterday. We're not regional. I

83
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: went down a slide ahead of mac Andrew on the

84
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 4: Gold Coast yesterday. Man, he's a ruckman for the Suns

85
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: and he was wearing just hot pink speedos of Heritage.

86
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: Look magnificent. I've never felt more middle aged and white

87
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 4: and flabby in my life.

88
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 5: Did you wear hot pink speeder?

89
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 4: I did not.

90
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: Well, Hey, Matt, it's one thing to to sort of

91
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: look outside in at a charity like fight M and D.

92
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: What's it like to immerse yourself in it? Because the

93
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: Dana her family, we've had Jan on the program, We've

94
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: had you know, the girls and as well, you know, what,

95
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: what is it like being inside? Because they are truly

96
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: I mean inspirational is a little bit cliche, but they are.

97
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: It started around a kitchen table, right and literally it

98
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: is like this this couple of weeks, Jan's getting dinner

99
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 4: ready like she is just a dynamo. She's in there first,

100
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 4: she's out there last, she's on the phone, she's like

101
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: run down the street, grab me ten more piece of socks,

102
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: like it's fabulous. That's a really great energy to be around.

103
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 4: But we also have like a team of seven scientists

104
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 4: who're speaking to the top researchers around the world assessing

105
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: their grants, seeing you know, how many millions we're going

106
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 4: to give to this particular research project. And then we

107
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 4: often deal with people who have M and D who

108
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 4: aren't in the same situation as Neil. The average life

109
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 4: expectance is just twenty seven months. They move through our

110
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 4: organization quickly, and that's a very emotionally, that's quite a

111
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: big burden to sort of be. You get to know people,

112
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: you know them really well, and then you realize we're

113
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: going to lose them.

114
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 5: That's so sad. How long ago was Neil diagnosed, well,

115
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 5: eleven years he's eleven, so here is an absolute outline

116
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 5: five as well.

117
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think many people in Australia had heard

118
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 7: about MND until Neil Duneaher. I really put it on

119
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 7: the map and the people that were familiar with it

120
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 7: were obviously this is so true.

121
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 4: Connection to I was chatting, I don't often say this.

122
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 4: I was chatting to an Oxford professor the other day

123
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 4: who was out here, and he said, all his life

124
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: he's been researching and getting out research for MND. And

125
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 4: when he goes out to dinner party still and says

126
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 4: what he does, they're like, oh mind, what's that? And

127
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 4: he goes like, come here, and the bloke and the

128
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 4: servoy knows what it is, wearing a beanie like the

129
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 4: whole city and we are now a global epicenter for

130
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 4: research and investment.

131
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 5: Amazing.

132
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 3: Neil down Her spoke to the Melbourne Boys yesterday. He

133
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: gives them a rev up before King's Birthday every year,

134
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: and we covered on the news last night here it is.

135
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: Don't wait for a crisis to learn that you are

136
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: more powerful than you think, and never underestimate the ripple

137
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: effect of one small act of courage on the field

138
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: or off it.

139
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 3: Now in that room, well, what's extraordinary or more extraordinary

140
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: about that is the technology that let's Kneil speak again,

141
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: find his voice. It's AI technology. How does that work?

142
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 3: Matt And and you actually can give people M and

143
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 3: D sufferers who lose their voice their voice back to

144
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: an extent.

145
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, eventually people only really have their eyes and their

146
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 4: conscience to communicate with the world. So what they can

147
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 4: do now the technology is incredible. If you are diagnosed,

148
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: now you can go and put down fifty phrases their

149
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 4: key phrases that they have and then will do your

150
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 4: whole vocabulary and intonation and everything else.

151
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 5: So you do that yourself early.

152
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 7: But with Neil well, because he had so many recordings

153
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 7: of him speaking to.

154
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, once we took all the swearing out, it limited

155
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 4: the recordings. You know, he's a coach. Yeah, so it's phenomenal. Yeah,

156
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: they've just gone and done that from media grabs.

157
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 5: And it makes me goosebumps hearing that. I feel like

158
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 5: it is for.

159
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 6: Their independence to get that back with their prices.

160
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,040
