00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: book over there? You were you really promoting your book?

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: Because the videos that went everywhere you certainly were not

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: doing anywhere. That was some very good I love the

11

Speaker 1: Daily Mouse and you were doing dead dancing.

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 4: I thought that was very unkind Uzo made me do that, right,

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 4: I usually here in Australia tequila.

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,239

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: wobbly a.

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: Locked las can. I just say to having a flick

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: through the book and also looking at a couple of

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: photos of your travels. Not the first time you've done

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: sort of the Greek toga look in the book, there's

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: a photo where it seems to be a little bit

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: of a tradition.

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: Well that actually twenty first last, wasn't it.

23
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 4: Well the one you're talking about was when I was, yeah,

24
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 4: sort of doing the backpack thing around Europe. Right, But

25
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 4: I must say the Greek, the kontiki toga is different

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 4: to when you're fifty seven because of the konigan you're

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 4: letting everything hang out. Yeah, yeah, and the fifty seven

28
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 4: year old toga is like you're tucking everything and you're

29
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: trying the nuts all differently.

30
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: It's like, last, we need to talk about the book.

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: It's my favorite. But you just put this up on

32
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: Instagram as well. When you told the closest to you

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: that you're writing a book, Sylvie, your wife said, oh, look,

34
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: it's very sweet, but you're not going to win a Pulitzer. Nikki,

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: your sister said, book, you're writing a book. You've never

36
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: read a book in your life. I love your best mate,

37
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 2: Robbie though. Robbie went, haha, you're writing a book. Oh wow,

38
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: I hope there's plenty of pictures.

39
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: He also said, does it come with its own package

40
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: of crayons?

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: That's not a lot of support there.

42
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: Did anybody say good on your last single?

43
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 1: Sorry, not a single.

44
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: It's a great story though, last because you didn't do

45
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: very well at school.

46
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Did you terribly at school?

47
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

48
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: Horrible.

49
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 4: It sort of kicked out so without being able to

50
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: sort of read all right, So it's a it's an

51
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: interesting concept to write a book.

52
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: And then you became did you become Australia's youngest news reader?

53
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: Is that for what age? Then?

54
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,559
Speaker 2: Then? What was that?

55
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: That was Channel seven News Overnight. Let me say that again.

56
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: News Overnight.

57
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 4: Have just dropped, well one of them. I managed to

58
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 4: engage Jean for that big night debut.

59
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: Night worked that.

60
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 4: It's a long story but when I got booted out

61
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: of school, I ended up working at what was then

62
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 4: called The Sun newspaper as a copy boy overnight at

63
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 4: surfull Day and I just started writing writing bits and

64
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: pieces for the local newspaper.

65
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: It's all in the book, makes more sense.

66
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: And in the bond Ey Reporter as well bond.

67
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 4: Post and so once I did that for a while,

68
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: I had some clippings from the Bondi Spectator. Then I thought, well,

69
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: now I'm a I'm a journalist. Now I'm a journalist.

70
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 4: But I was a kid, you know himply faced kid.

71
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 4: So I sent some letters off to the TV stations

72
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 4: going I'm a journalist parting for the bond Spectator.

73
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a crime yeah yeah, and I've got to.

74
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 4: Learn it back from Channel Line saying there are no

75
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 4: junior positions available. I'm like, I wasn't going for a junior.

76
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: It was about sixty minutes.

77
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: What are you talking? Have you heard from Rove?

78
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: Because you know the headlines were that apparently you discovered

79
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: Rove and Pete Heller and Rove live that show.

80
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 4: Yes, I got, I got, Yes, Rove and I appeared

81
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 4: on a radio show last night together.

82
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: They they stitched me up with But that's it. We've

83
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: told that story for years.

84
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: Yes.

85
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: So the debate is whether I actually discovered him or not.

86
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: What I did give us the story. He was in

87
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: a he was with Pete Hellier.

88
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 4: They were in a garage in Melbourne doing a tonight

89
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: show on a on a community channel out of the garage,

90
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 4: out of a garage in r M. I t right,

91
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: So I went in there. I was on Prices right

92
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 4: and I went in there. They interviewed me that and

93
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 4: they picked up like a cow off a street clean

94
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: up and it was like dodging lit.

95
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: Wayne's awesome.

96
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: But it was great and Rove was fantastic. And I

97
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 4: went into Channel nine Boss the next day in Melbourne

98
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 4: and Johnson.

99
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: I said, have you heard of this Rove guy? And

100
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: he said no. I said, you've got to chase him down.

101
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: He's fantastic, he's.

103
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 4: Six months later, Rove gets his Tonight show on Channel Line.

104
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: So what's up.

105
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 4: The debate is I did that, but whether that equaled

106
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 4: Rove getting the show or not. I don't No, I

107
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 4: don't think. I don't think I reckon. You know, he

108
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 4: would have been there anyway. That's my side of the story.

109
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: His story is shut up, Enda, I know you're just

110

Speaker 4: trying to get money from me, So that twenty wasn't

111
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: coming to I don't think I discovered him. That's how

112
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,800

Speaker 2: It's another bloody introduction for Larry Emda. You think you

142
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 2: can wrap it because you wrote a book someone called

143
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: an ambulance because laz is crooked. I read the book

144
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: and this is my first question. You started television in

145
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty seven. You became Australia's youngest news reader. You

146
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: know who was shocked every school teacher about sex.

147
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: In a panel van It was just too bad.

148
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: It was you in your hands in Bondai. That sounds splendid.

149
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: And the eight people in the book who attended. I

150
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: loved the chapter on your first tattoo. You got it

151
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: after being sacked from Celebrity dog School, more networks, more shows.

152
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: It's quite unsavory. You had more role than with us

153
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: had at bakery. Is your Polish goddess and we don't

154
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: have a reason why she's with you on us. She's

155
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: the love of your life and that's what you wrote.

156
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: Or she's a cost second to your fifty foot both.

157
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: Your house at the Hawks, bree.

158
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: Your pent house that you have at the holiday home,

159
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: the kids, they're probably in the top ten.
