00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: tickets go to livenation dot com. But cooler last night

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: because we didn't think Pink doesn't really need to promote

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: anymore shows, aren't they? Well, didn't you know what? In

11

Speaker 1: two thousand and eight nine the fun House Tour was

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: I think fifty four shows in a row in Australia.

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: Then twenty thirteen was the Truth about Love Tour. That

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: was forty two shows. She's played over a hun She's

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: doing twenty shows here on this tour. Played over one

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: hundred shows in Australia. It's unbelievable. So she's had sound

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: check last night and said I want to have a

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: chat to fifty Kate and Whipper and I got the

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: call up, so sat down and had ten minutes with Pink.

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: This is how it went. I think the last time

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: that we saw you face to face was ten years ago,

22
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. It was the truth about love to her

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: and you. Basically you'd set up a makeshift home at

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: the Sydney Entertainment Area. Do you remember that you? You

25
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: actually will? I was like one or two years of

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: age and you had this little makeshift home that you

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: stayed in. I know.

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: And now she's a grown woman. Well I feel about it.

29
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: So she's just about to become a teenager. And we

30
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: go back to when Pink turned thirteen? Are you a

31
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: little bit worried?

32
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: Oh no, Oh my god. She's nothing like me. She's

33
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: a rule follower. She's like, she's awesome, she's so cool.

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: She wants to be a trauma surgeon and go to

35
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: like Harvard Medical School. And she brought a court card

36
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: home and it had to street it and I looked

37
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: a her. I was like, what does this feel like?

38
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: Describe it in words?

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: So I've got a fourteen year old and a ten

40
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: year old, So that means if she he's the sensible one,

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: that means your second child is the crazy one. Is

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: that correct, Jamison?

43
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: Oh he's a runaway train. He's going to be a

44
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: DJ in Vegas. Yeah, no, I'm gonna have a fund

45
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: for his bail one hundred percent. That guy is Lois.

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Does he get that from Momo Dad?

47
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No, he's me. He's sensitive, he cries a lot,

48
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: he's an EmPATH, and he's nuts. He's nuts.

49
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: Can I ask you what's your attachment to Australia because

50
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: you've you've played so many shows here, what is your

51
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: attachment to Australia?

52
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think, first of all, my manager is Australian.

53
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: He's from Melbourne and lives Sydney, and I've just been

54
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: coming here for a long long time and I fell

55
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: in love right away. I remember we were in Sydney,

56
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: we took a ferry, I had VB and I was like,

57
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: this is awesome. And then I had a show and

58
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: instead of people being like I love you, they were

59
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: like we can't hear your mike. Right away, I was like,

60
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: these are my people. I just kept going from there

61
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: and then you guys liked me and got my sense

62
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: of humor and no one gets my sense of humor

63
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: in America or didn't, and I don't know. It just

64
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: was a mutual love affair. And also it's pretty awesome here.

65
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: It's a very hard place to have a bad time.

66
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: It is, do you geez? I think it's go with

67
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 2: me everywhere? So they get to love it too, exactly.

68
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: Row and will it be something that you think you

69
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: know when you are older and maybe you hang up

70
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: the market, some stides that you will come back. Would

71
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: you and carry have any investment property or remember the

72
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: times that you did? Have he down the track?

73
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: Oh hum percent, Like this place feels like my second home.

74
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: I know every city, I have my favorite restaurant. There's

75
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: not a lot of cities where I know where to

76
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: go when I hit the ground, and I feel that

77
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: way about all of the cities. Well maybe not Townsville

78
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: because this will be my first time, so I don't

79
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: really know Townsville. So if you have any advice, let

80
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: us know. And it'll be the last two shows of

81
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: the tour, so I'm going to need a whiskey bar.

82
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well there's plenty up on Tansville. You're up to me.

83
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: Bundenberg as well.

84
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: Carrie feels the same way because Carrie competed here a

85
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: bunch when he was doing freestyle motocross. Though it's kind

86
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: of a mutual. We were talking about his past and

87
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: King's Cross and I was like, yeah, I don't think

88
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: I want to hear about this anymore.

89
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: Especially with the kids around. Well, you've just recently just

90
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: put up and you know what, Pink, I agree with you,

91
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: it's a sist pede. But you've just put up on

92
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: Twitter this account. Well, just self distracting too minutes. Do

93
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: it yourself, get out of there. Has it been a

94
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: good feeling since you've.

95
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: Let Oh my god, I feel free. It's like a

96
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: bittersweet too, because I've had so many wonderful experiences through

97
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: Twitter that I never would have had otherwise, Connections with fans.

98
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: I met this kid, Calvin in Australia that was able

99
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: to come to my show because of Twitter, and it

100
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: used to be really joyful and a way to find

101
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: out about charities or find out who was in the

102
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: audience that night. And it's just become a where people

103
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: go to dump and it's negative and you have to

104
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: remind yourself that you have a choice to not participate.

105
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: Are you worried with a pending election in the US

106
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: that we're going to go back to the why we

107
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: were three or four years ago? Are you really worried

108
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: about that? With the world will be going.

109
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think everyone is. I'm worried for

110
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a parent, I have a twelve year

111
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: old daughter. I'm worried for the world in general. And

112
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: I have this conversation with Willow where there's a lot

113
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: of young kids now that have just stabilitating anxiety. It's

114
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: sort of a common thread, and I always tell her

115
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, I am not an optimist. But

116
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: even after all that, going around the world and doing

117
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: what we do, we get to see hundreds of thousands

118
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 2: of people, all from different ways of life, different beliefs,

119
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: different everything, coming together to share this experience. It's like

120
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: sports and music, right entertainment. People can put down their

121
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: armor and just enjoy life together. There's something really beautiful

122
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: about that. And I really do believe that there are

123
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: so many more good people in the world than hateful

124
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: or bad. I mean, we went out yesterday on bikes

125
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: in Sydney and every five minutes like pink kill it

126
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: on Friday, we love you. What's up? Well, I'll killing

127
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 2: the gate Like people are just most people are nice.

128
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: It's just the angry, hateful under louder. So, yeah, we're

129
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: all nervous but you get through it and hopefully we

130
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: make progress or I'll get a real turn. Have you

131
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,480

Speaker 1: these times we've been given a white tickets for your

134
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: show and the amount of emotion that we've had from

135
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: people when they win tickets and get to see you.

136
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: A lot of people, you know, I've been doing it

137
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: tough for the last few years, and to know that

138
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: they can go along and they can release and they

139
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,559
Speaker 1: can see your show and walk away with a smile

140
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: on their faces has been unbelievable.

141
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: That makes me so happy. That's what it's all about, man.

142
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 2: It's like group therapy. We just get to lay it

143
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: all down for two hours and sweat it out, screaming out,

144
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 2: cry it out, laugh it out, and let it go

145
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: and people walk out of there so happy. It moves

146
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: me to the core of me that I can be

147
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,400
