Speaker 3: You've got Michael Caton who played dad Darryl Kerrigan, and

67
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: Anthony Simko, who played your older brother Steve in the movie.

68
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: It's a bit of a reunion. But have you ever

69
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: had a full Castle reunion?

70
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: It's the full cast and crew ever got together.

71
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 5: We have all got together. We got together for the

72
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 5: twenty year anniversary. So next month marks twenty nine years

73
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 5: since we shot the film and for the twenty year anniverse.

74
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 5: We all got together and the stories kind of get

75
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 5: bigger and bigger over time. I'm looking forward to the

76
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 5: thirty year because I'm really going to get my story straight.

77
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 5: By that stage, basically, I was the star of the film.

78
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 5: I was carrying Michael and Anthony and Eric Banner.

79
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: What's he done since exactly? But it's yeah, it's great.

80
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 5: They're just such great blokes, and we've we've had such

81
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 5: great contact over the years. And if I'm going to

82
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 5: have one pretend father in my life, may as well

83
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 5: make it Michel.

84
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: Daton and Peace kind of everyone's pretend dad. Ever since

85
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: that movie came out, I reckon. Let's talk more about

86
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: the film.

87
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 3: It was made by Working Dog, the crew behind Thank

88
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: God You're Here Utopia? Have you been paying attention? So

89
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: many more? Jane Kennedy was responsible for casting. How did

90
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: twenty year old Stephen Curry end up in the film?

91
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 5: It was dumb luck. It was pure dumb luck. So

92
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 5: Jane Kennedy and Rob Sitch were they'd cast the whole film,

93
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 5: they hadn't cast my character, and then all of a sudden,

94
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 5: while they're sitting there on their couch and talking about

95
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 5: who they're going to get to play Dale Kerrigan, an

96
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: ad came on that I had done a year earlier,

97
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 5: the tac Ad, and it was sort of like I

98
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 5: used to do these really dramatic ads, and this was

99
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 5: like a comedy ad where I was teaching, my dad

100
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 5: had to drive and my face hopped on. They had

101
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 5: no idea who I was. I had no idea who

102
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 5: I was and there it was. They the next day

103
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 5: I had the script in my hand, and.

104
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: Wow, that is the craziest story.

105
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: You need a bit of luck, You need a lot

106
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: of luck in this industry.

107
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 5: But if you if your big bit of luck is

108
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 5: the castle falling in your lap, then you know happy days.

109
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: It was revealed a few years ago that Michael Caton

110
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: got paid three thousand bucks.

111
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: He's got paid. Michael Katon got paid for that film.

112
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: Can you believe it?

113
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: I think I got like a box of wheaties or something.

114
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: Well, I was gonna ask, do you remember what you

115
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: got paid?

116
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 5: I've got I had no idea what I got paid.

117
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure. Yeah, box of wheat and maybe a

118
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 5: bag of snakes or something like that. It wasn't a

119
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 5: lot more than that.

120
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 2: It was. But that's that's the joy of this film.

121
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: They had.

122
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 5: They had very little money to make this thing. They

123
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 5: had very little time to make this film, but at

124
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 5: its core is a beautiful heart and an incredible story

125
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 5: about love. And I was saying before about how I

126
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 5: think one of the joys of that film film is

127
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 5: there are so few successful comedies that are almost all

128
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 5: about and most of the comedy is about how much

129
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 5: a family loves each other, rather than the dysfunction in

130
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 5: the family, and rather than that kind of you know,

131
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 5: everyone punching.

132
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: On and whatever.

133
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 5: The Castle has just got such a beautiful heart, and

134
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 5: that's why I think it's just such a timeless piece

135
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 5: of cinema.

136
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: You mentioned money and time there. Movies often take months

137
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: to film. The Castle was filmed in less than two

138
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 3: weeks because the Working Dog team could only afford a

139
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: certain amount of film. I think Santo Cilaro, who's part

140
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 3: of Working Dogs, said they were told they could shoot

141
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: for fourteen days with bad catering or ten days with

142
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: good catering.

143
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: And also they chose the latter.

144
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 5: A well fared crew is a happy crew, oldest rule

145
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 5: in the book.

146
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: And they nailed that. The catering was sensation.

147
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask, so you rated the catering.

148
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 5: Mate, because remember, up until that point, I'd sort of

149
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 5: been doing bit parts here and there and a couple

150
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 5: of commercials and things like.

151
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: That, and oh, we'd never had catering like that. It

152
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: was fantastic.

153
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: It must have been long shoot days if you're only

154
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: doing it in ten days.

155
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: They were, But what they did is they shot so

156
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: they sort of shot.

157
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 5: All the house stuff is almost in a sitcom style,

158
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 5: so they had its own Every room had its own

159
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 5: lighting rig, so you'd basically light the lights to turn on,

160
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 5: you do the scene, and then chronologically the next scene.

161
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 5: If it's in the lound room, all of a sudden,

162
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 5: the lound rooms lit and you're in there shooting, and

163
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 5: there's just no time to even think about it. But

164
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 5: we knew were on a winner. Like reading a script,

165
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 5: it's still to this day the funniest script I've ever read. Yeah,

166
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 5: and the number of references that Darryl Kerrigan makes which

167
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 5: were exactly my father, Like exactly my father. My father

168
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 5: had an ugly stick fishing rod and he even said

169
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 5: to me in the bow, look at that mate, Ben's

170
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 5: right around.

171
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: And when I read that, I just couldn't believe it.

172
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 5: And there's so many people who spoken to me since

173
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 5: making the film about how much they connect a lot

174
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 5: of those characters with their family members or their friends

175
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 5: or you know, they really created some great Australian archetypes.

176
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: Was there any room for ad libbing or did your

177
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: stick to the script because it was such a tight shoot.

178
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: Not a lot of room for living in a script

179
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 2: like that.

180
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, and there is you know, there are some films

181
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 5: that are that are about sort of we sort of

182
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 5: go with the themes and then we kind of we

183
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 5: had lib around the idea. But Working Dog, the way

184
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 5: they wrote that script, you just wouldn't mess with it.

185
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: I don't reckon, I reckon there.

186
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 5: Might have been one line in the whole thing that

187
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 5: wasn't on the page.

188
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: We're going to take a quick break and then we'll

189
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: be back with more from Stephen Curry.

190
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 4: Welcome back.

191
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: You are listening to my interview with Stephen Curry, who

192
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: played Dale Kerrigan in The Castle. I heard a beautiful

193
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: story that Michael Hirst from Working Dog said earlier this year.

194
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: It was talking about how when they asked Bud Tingwell,

195
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: who played the Lawrence Hamil q C in the film,

196
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: when they asked him to be in the movie, his

197
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: wife had just recently passed away. Yes, true story, and

198
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 3: he wasn't sure if he was going to do it,

199
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: And Michael said to him, Bud, you've gone through a

200
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 3: terrible loss.

201
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: Let us be your family. Was it a hard shoot

202
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: for Bud? Do you remember him being in a bit

203
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: of bad way?

204
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: If it was a hard shoot, for Bud.

205
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 5: He never showed it, but Bud was a mentor to

206
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 5: me over the years. I'd met him years earlier and

207
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 5: I had he gave me his phone number. We did

208
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 5: a short film once and I couldn't work out why

209
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 5: he would be doing the short film. I knew why

210
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 5: I was doing the short film, and Bud told me.

211
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: He said that.

212
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 5: He said that no matter what the piece is, no

213
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 5: matter who the person is that's giving it to, you

214
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 5: read it and if it speaks to you, you do it.

215
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 5: And I think that's what happened with this film. He

216
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 5: read the film, he loved the character, he loved all

217
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 5: the characters, and he's just such a pro. He was

218
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 5: such a pro and such a generous man. And his

219
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 5: performance in the film is it makes me cry every time.

220
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 5: That final speech that he makes in the High Court

221
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 5: makes me cry every single time. I say, and I yeah,

222
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: May rest in peace, because it was an absolute legend.

223
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: From the moment he stood up, mister Hamill was the

224
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: star of the show.

225
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 6: Section fifty one, paragraph thirty one. Parliament shall have power

226
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 6: to make laws with respect to the acquisition of property

227
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 6: on just terms. Let's think about those words, on just

228
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 6: terms and how they relatet to real people.

229
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 2: You're on.

230
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 6: My client built his home by the law, but does

231
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 6: he have the protection of the law. How can the

232
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 6: forcible removal of the family, a good family from their

233
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 6: home have the blessing of our constitution? How can that

234
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 6: be just terms?

235
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: Did you steal anything from the set?

236
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 6: Oh?

237
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 5: Look, I didn't steal anything from the set. I had

238
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 5: to walk home with that haircut every night. That was

239
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 5: pretty foul. It took from the Yeah, there's no hiding

240
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 5: a million mini mallet, is there? Because even if you

241
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 5: put a beanie on and still flicking out the back

242
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 5: there No. Look, I I think if I've stolen anything

243
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 5: from the set, they'd probably come and track me down,

244
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 5: and you know, taking a task on it.

245
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: No, I should have taken a few more mementoes. But

246
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: know it would be perfect exactly, you know what I mean?

247
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: It gets my sweet Yeah.

248
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: How did your life change after the cast?

249
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: Because you know it took a while, but it became

250
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: one of the most famous movies of all time made

251
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: in Australia.

252
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it changed my life changed in many ways after

253
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 5: the Castle. I certainly I probably wouldn't even be sitting

254
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 5: here talking to you if it wasn't for the castle,

255
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 5: because it really did launch a career for me, and

256
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 5: I have nothing but respectful, working good than I will

257
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 5: I will be forever in their debt.

258
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: And I didn't have to buy a beer for a while.

259
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: That was pretty good. People would always just buy you

260
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 2: a beer.

261
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: That's a positive.

262
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 3: But on the negative side, you must have just had

263
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: for the last twenty five years people yelling lines from

264
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 3: the castle at you.

265
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 5: I have, Yes, I have had a lot of people

266
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 5: yelling lines from the Castle. Usually they get it wrong. Okay,

267
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 5: I don't mind that. I had someone come past on

268
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 5: a bus in.

269
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: All Herbert's how's the serendipity? I went up it surended

270
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: it down. Don't worry about dad.

271
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 5: I dug a ditch of her numerous times, Like it's

272
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 5: whole man. It's almost like it's almost like people are

273
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 5: trying to mess with my head or something. What I

274
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 5: do love is a lot of those lines from the

275
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 5: Castle that have become such a part of the vernacular.

276
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and again I was just saying this before.

277
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 5: That that that that people now don't even know their

278
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 5: quote in the Castle. You know, there's so many of

279
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 5: those lines have become an indelible part of the vernacular

280
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: that how big are my words?

281
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: By the oh you've done some research by talking?

282
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's astonishing.

283
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 5: And the fact that I think even today the film

284
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 5: resonates just as much, if not more, as it did

285
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 5: when it came out. So yeah, look, I would never

286
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 5: begrudge anyone coming up and saying today and being so positive,

287
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 5: because almost always people are really positive. The one person

288
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 5: about five years ago said sorry, mate, didn't say that.

289
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: Well, why are we talking?

290
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 3: Have you heard that the Working Dog team were approached

291
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 3: to do a remat the Castle, an American version starring

292
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 3: Tom Hank Tom Hanks They turned it down.

293
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I you know what, Working are incredibly smart operators.

294
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 5: I think they understood that what they created there probably

295
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 5: can't be recreated, and they had been offered to do

296
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 5: the series over here.

297
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: They've been offered to, you know, turn the film into

298
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: an American film.

299
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 5: I think they've just made the right decision because you

300
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 5: and it's not that they couldn't make the Castle over there,

301
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 5: it just would be always held up against the original. Yeah,

302
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 5: and kind of a little bit on hiding to nothing,

303
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 5: I think, I mean, even Tom Hanks, which Tom Hanks me, hope.

304
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: So I think it would have been the ten.

305
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I would have got like Jonathan Taylor Thomas

306
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 5: or something. Oh see, that's a bit of a ninety throwback.

307
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 5: It really is that one come from Home Improvement.

308
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

309
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Stephen Curry has been delight to chat to you,

310
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 3: and I think we're just jumping in uber green and

311
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.

312
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: Same price as an Uber X. You can't go wrong.

313
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you. Let's save the planet.

314
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: Honestly, that chat has made me want to rewatch the

315
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: Castle so badly, in fact, I think I will.

316
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do it this weekend.

317
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: If any of my mates are listening, don't call me

318
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 3: to hang out, Okay, I am busy just reliving Bonnie
