10
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 3: Yay. I had so much fun with this. I mean,

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 3: and you know, I remember because I did X Factor

12
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 3: back in twenty sixteen, and I remember being impressed with

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 3: the talent, but this time I was even more blown away.

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: I mean, we heard some incredible vocalists.

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: Well we were blind away that you put your hand

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: up for us, because the last time we spoke to

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: you said you'd never worked with Guy Sebastian ever again,

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: had it?

19
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 3: I love Guy, I love working with him, and I

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: was I was excited to see if I could beat

21
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: him again, you know, because I won the last. I

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 3: won the last over him, and he is a consummate

23
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: professional of this. He knows what he's doing, so it

24
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 3: was great kind of joining him on the voice. I've

25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: never done the voice before, and he's obviously a veteran,

26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 3: so he kind of showed us all the ropes, which

27
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: was great.

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I wouldn't trust guy, you know. I think

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: the thing about guys.

30
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: Oh, everyone everyone says, oh, he's such a lovely watch

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: your back, you.

32
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: Know, lovely wife, lovely couple of kids.

33
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's so talented, and but then when you

34
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: actually watch him turn that chair aggressive, Oh he just

35
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: comes out firing.

36
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: You know what the thing is, what the guy is

37
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 3: very strategic. He like he knows what he's doing, and

38
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: that's the thing you got to look out for. He

39
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: is smart and he has switched on and he's got

40
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 3: a plan.

41
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: You know. We were talking earlier, Adam about what makes

42
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: you a genius and little things in life where you

43
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: get something right and you feel like a genius. I

44
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: love it when I'm watching the show and somebody comes

45
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: out and I think to myself, I bet you everybody

46
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: else thinks these judges are going to turn right now,

47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: the coaches will turn, and then you all sit there

48
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: hovering over the buzzer, but you don't actually turn, and

49
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: your thoughts are in line with mine, and I think

50
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: I could do that. I'm a genius in this moment. Yeah,

51
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: I think I could be on there, sitting next to

52
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: Adam or even in the same chair. But what could

53
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: you coach them or offer these people? Well, I don't

54
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: go that far, but I think at least I know

55
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: whether it's a good singer or not. You know.

56
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 3: It's so it's so interesting too, because there were a

57
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: handful of contestants where I thought, Okay, yeah, they're good,

58
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 3: but that's not my lane, Like I'm not going to

59
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of like the country singers. I

60
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: was kind of like, yeah, yeah, maybe, but it's like

61
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: I don't really I'm out of my depth a little

62
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 3: bit in genre. So I was being sort of picky

63
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: at some points, kind of thinking, all right, I know

64
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: what kind of team I want to put together. And

65
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: then there were times where it didn't matter. There were

66
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: a couple exceptions to that rule where I thought, I

67
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: don't care. This person's wildly talented and I'm just turning

68
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: my chair.

69
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, and then the more awkward moments where you

70
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: realize they're just a stinker and they shouldn't have that happens.

71
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: Well, you know, there are those There are those blind

72
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: auditions that are genius, and then you get to you know,

73
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: you dig into the show and you start working with

74
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: them and it was like, okay, maybe you're a one

75
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 3: trick pony. Yeah, maybe that was the best. Maybe that

76
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: was a fluke. And then there's the other ones where

77
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 3: like you hear something in their voice and it's like strong,

78
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 3: and then the more you work with them, they really blossom.

79
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: And that's always the exciting that's the exciting version.

80
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: Adam. How much this is a personal question for you.

81
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: With your music catalog, how much would you sell it for?

82
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: I'm just Adam. I am looking at what the band

83
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: coin Brian May and the boys got paid for their

84
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: music catalog and it was one million pounds, so one

85
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: billion pounds, which is just well. And you you actively

86
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: steal tour with coeen every now and then. When when

87
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: this was happening, did they mention anything to you at

88
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: the time that they were thinking about selling an Adam

89
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: or Yeah.

90
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: I heard about I heard about their their their their deal.

91
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: They're very excited, you know. I think that their legacy

92
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: is so beautiful. You know, they have these iconic songs

93
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: and images and I think, you know, it's it's wise

94
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: of them, you know, to do that. They can collect

95
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: that money, give it to their families, give it to

96
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: whatever charities they want. They're you know, they're really generous men.

97
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: And I think they're I think that they earned, you know,

98
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: an appropriate amount of money. I mean that's it is

99
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: a lot of money. But they are literally one of

100
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: the biggest bands in the world.

101
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: If you've met any of Freddie's family, I have.

102
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: Actually I met his sister Kaz and she was lovely. Yeah,

103
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 3: and his nephew, I believe her son, that was really lovely.

104
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: I met his mother years ago and I say, she's

105
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: pass now.

106
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: Oh, you'd want thumbs up from them, you know, taking

107
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: over from Freddy is a pretty big thing, Adam. So

108
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: have they been really kind to you in that sense?

109
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had. I had nothing but beautiful experience with

110
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,119
Speaker 3: with those family members. I mean, Kaz was so cool

111
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: adding with her and Yeah. And I also years ago

112
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,560

113
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,880
