33
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: in the harbor and jumped into the water and everyone

34
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: was like, you swam in that water.

35
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's a great heart. It's a little

36
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 4: bit sharky and a couple of snakes around, but it's

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 4: not too bad. Hash invited you to come to Bondo

38
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,360

39
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,680

40
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,680

42
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: walk outside of the interviews or strictly professional.

43
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: I just want to say congratulations this movie. I had

44
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: a smile on my face the whole time. And I

45
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: think nostalgia plays such a huge part in people's lives

46
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: at the moment. I'm a nineties child. Something else that

47
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: I have to reveal. My parents' names are Michael and

48
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 2: Claire and Kate. Can I just say my mother used

49
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: to rock a pair of acid wash jeens like you

50
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: do in this movie. Wow, And it just took me. Ah,

51
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: mom used to love the acid wash jeans. It's to

52
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: have the hair, the fashion. You guys must have had

53
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: such a great time on set.

54
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 3: It was so much fun. I had this you know

55
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: moment two. We actually haven't even said this anybody, but

56
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 3: they call each other lightning and thunder a while, and

57
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: I sometimes think about that, and I'm like, what a

58
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 3: commitment to your brand when you are lightning and thunder,

59
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: you know when you.

60
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: Change the name.

61
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 5: There's love that he manages these dentists the greatest you'll do.

62
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 6: And what a gift to be able to play those characters,

63
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 6: because I mean this started out as a documentary, so

64
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 6: it's not as these people existed. The story was floating around.

65
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 6: What a gift that people waited this long to see

66
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 6: it and that you were able to play these roles

67
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 6: because it was an idea that floated around for a

68
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 6: long time.

69
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been there for a while.

70
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 5: I understand why Greg made that doko like he saw

71
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 5: something and I'm actually Eddie better. I spoke to Eddie

72
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 5: Pearl Jam for those listeners who don't know. So these

73
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 5: guys quite famously open for Pearl Jam. And I said, Eddie,

74
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: I said, why did you choose Michael Gladly? They were

75
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 5: a Neil Diamond tribute band, and he said. Some other

76
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 5: guy who was from Milwaukee says, You've got to see

77
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 5: these guys. There's no one like them. They're so unique.

78
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 5: And any doctor that opens with a guy in tidy

79
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 5: Whitey's and like this.

80
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: Most normal thing in the world. I was like, to

81
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: like these people, I've turned it into one of those actors. Guys.

82
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 5: I'm literally I said to Katus I'm not normally like,

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 5: but I'm saying to everyone, guys, you've got to see

84
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 5: this movie.

85
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: Like I'm not in it. You look at me like

86
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: you're the guy is saying that because you're in it.

87
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no. My story I've.

88
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: Had sometimes people ask me about the movie and I

89
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: start crying.

90
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I'm.

91
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: Really I really really love our movie. You know, made

92
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 3: me miss movies when I saw it for the first time.

93
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 4: You would have also, though been a Neil Diamond fan

94
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 4: growing up, that music would have been around for you

95
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 4: and a big player you know at home, you know

96
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 4: your parents would have loved it, and that sort of

97
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 4: lives on all day. But do you remember the first

98
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: time you saw or aware of Neil Diamond? For you

99
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: to nail this character so deeply?

100
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 5: At the Greenie at the green Gate Hotel, Pacific Highway.

101
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: Awesome, there was a karaoke night, but there was a guy.

102
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: I remember my mate Grubby saying, We've got to go

103
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: and see this guy. This guy absolutely crushes he does

104
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: Neil Diamond. I'm like, at the Greenie Neil Diamond.

105
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 5: People go mental and I'm like, and we go along

106
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 5: and there's like three hundred people watching this guy do karaoke.

107
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: He was like, I'm the green Gay. Mustle loved it.

108
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: They didn't pay him a cin and he got up

109
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: and he crashed, and I was.

110
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 5: Like, you see why now, like given the Melbourne Cup

111
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 5: or wherever it is, you have one hundred thousand people

112
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 5: singing the song.

113
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've recently seen the two of you, not only

114
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 6: on screen in the film, but on stage. Kate, you

115
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 6: joined Hugh in He's one man shot. I mean, surely

116
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 6: you'd had enough of each other during the filming and

117
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 6: the pre you know, premiering the film. But you took

118
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 6: to the stage.

119
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: What was that like?

120
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: I just wanted to start breaking into Never Enough, which enough.

121
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: Never Enough.

122
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: It's great. First of all, well, Hugh, I mean I

123
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: was for me. It was so I'm so happy he

124
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: had invited me to Radio City. But it was like

125
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: a bucket list for me. I being on that stage

126
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: and singing with him, and we hadn't really done that yet,

127
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: we hadn't seen outside of the movie, and it was

128
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: so much fun. I mean, I would do that with

129
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: him anytime. We kind of want it. I'm like, we're

130
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 3: kind of like we should take this on the road.

131
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 6: That Yeah, now you're getting carried away. I mean, I

132
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 6: don't want to talk down the glory of being able

133
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 6: to take to the stage with you, but it feels

134
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 6: as though he will have a sing song with anyone

135
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 6: because you've done it with our very own whipper. I mean, Kate, look,

136
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 6: let me explain that, because it doesn't it's not sounding great.

137
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 6: But Hugh and our very own whipper here beside me

138
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 6: have had a bit of a lay miss sing song

139
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 6: a while back.

140
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: Well, that's true, we got there.

141
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 5: All right.

142
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: It's very confusing, Kate, but yes, that was it.

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Unfortunately Kate Russell Crowe got the part, so you

144
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: had to do it with him instead of I mean

145
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 4: we're at the park heard I think we've had the

146
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: Christmas party the night before and I talked you went

147
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: into singing with me. So he was very generous in

148
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: that interview. But my god, I don't know why I

149
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 4: didn't get the role.

150
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: That's the one that got away.

151
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: Congratulations for anyone out there leading into Christmas. It's a

152
