Speaker 1: on your shoulders, so you truly understand you're receiving something

45
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: of gravitas.

46
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:13,919

47
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,600

00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 5: a few times.

61
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,040

64
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: Out the Xenon. That's my foot.

65
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being in school and they call it

66
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: your full name?

67
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 4: What is it?

68
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 3: My third name is Xenyl Zeno. Yes, my father thought

69
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: it'd be hilarious to name me.

70
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: After and the nerd gas Robin and Frederick Xenon Geldof, Yeah,

71
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: what a I know?

72
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: And my grandson is called Xenol. My father was my grandfather.

73
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: This is one of the great girld Of traditions down

74
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: through the centuries. You know, I'm passing it on to

75
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: you now.

76
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: There you go.

77
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 5: I don't think we're smart enough to have that name

78
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 5: in any of our children's names.

79
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 6: We're ra only talking about you in our house. The

80
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 6: other day, I got three young boys under ten, and

81
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 6: you were watching the Bohemian Rhapsody movie and the live

82
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 6: AID concert came on, and I was just giving the boys,

83
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 6: you know, a rundown of what it was all about. Mate, Congratulations,

84
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 6: you've done some extraordinary things in your life.

85
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: What are you nice proud of?

86
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: So serious question, proper answer.

87
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: The pride thing. It doesn't happen in me at all.

88
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: You know, to how you're proud of your kids. It

89
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: doesn't work like that. If they do something cool, like

90
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm happy and I'm happy for them. But

91
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: stuff that is a great record, getting to number one,

92
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: stuff like that, it's just onto the next thing. That's

93
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: what happens. There's a momentary pause where you go, good,

94
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: did that that worked? That's what happens next thing. So

95
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: and it's a lack. It's a lacking because I think

96
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: it's an inadequacy. I think it would be good to

97
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: stand back and say, get perspective on your life and

98
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: things you did. But you know, it's just something you

99
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: do moving on. So you know, that's you know, when

100
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: I was a bit dismayed when somebody said, come down

101
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: and tell us all your stories because you've done all

102
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: this stuff. You've done all that and you don't think

103
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: it's like that. It's just you're on this continuum. It's

104
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: a life. And then it begins and it ends, and

105
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: next year's full on. You know, next year's the fortieth

106
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: very well, in two weeks is the fortieth anniversary of

107
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 1: the band Aid record.

108
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 3: Do they know? It's Christmas?

109
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: And then you and Lay for Africa and then and

110
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: then the fortieth anniversary of Live in the fiftieth anniversary

111
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: of the Boomtown Rats. So you know, I've been around.

112
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: It is a big year, and exactly to that point.

113
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: So Assi has called me and said, you're going to

114
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: need a break from all this stuff, come down here

115
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: and do a one man show thing. I said, no,

116
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: really no, And then I saw Springsteen's one man show

117
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: and then I saw Bonos one and they're both Irish

118
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: and they've got the words and they can tell the stories.

119
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 3: And I'm in sort of that camp.

120
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: And I thought, actually, you know what winter or well

121
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: spring anyway, March April, come down to Oz and I

122
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: spent a couple of weeks here and go back and

123
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 1: then have a fresh mind. You know, so stories, fun

124
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: and questionsilms, movies such I Haven't seen.

125
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: You Amazing so not in eighty five.

126
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: Such an important historical marker is is the world dramatically

127
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: a bit of place?

128
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: Not since the day before yesterday when he terrified. I'm

129
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: I'm so sad and alarmed.

130
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 4: By talking about trump presidency for the.

131
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: World, and I think it will be all about them.

132
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: I think the rest of us, like Britain, is basically

133
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: protecting their eastern flank and also protects their western flank,

134
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: and that's the only use Trump would have for us guys.

135
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: But people thought that the man is a fool and

136
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: a dangerous fool, and he's been surrounded by, you know,

137
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: billionaires who believe the world should work to their benefit

138
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: according to them. So I think it's a very very

139
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: very dangerous moment. He is surrounded by fanatics, he's incapable

140
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: of leadership.

141
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 3: He's just a movie being full.

142
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 5: You know, were you expecting it?

143
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 3: Well, okay, I was.

144
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: I was saying, yes, I was saying it's Trump because

145
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: all the energy was running his way. And what I

146
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting was them to win the House and the centers,

147
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: and so it's it's look for all of us who

148
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: think a certain way, who've got a view of the world.

149
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Certainly in my life I'm old now that the sort

150
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: of old post war consensus of social democracy that we

151
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: redistribute wealth and we bring as many boats up as

152
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: we can along with us, and that prevents revolution and

153
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: fascism and stuff like that. That that's gone out the

154
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: window with this election.

155
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: As a global community, do we care enough or have

156
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: we become far too selfish?

157
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: So your your your original question is since eighty five

158
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: of things improved absolutely globalization, which got a bad present,

159
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: which in fact, the rejection of Trump is an avatar

160
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: of globalization, is a function of the technology that we're

161
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: all using now and having pop And within the first

162
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: ten years of our century, four hundred million people were

163
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: pulled out of extreme poverty. That's extraordinary, and it would

164
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: have continued. So starvation figures, hunger figures have plummeted since

165
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: that period and they're still going down. Whether that remains

166
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: so or not, we don't know. But there are six

167
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: hundred million hungry people in the world, still, half of

168
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: them in Africa. Far too much. There's a surplus of

169
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: food in the world. It's unnecessary. It's not poverty itself

170
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: is unnecessary.

171
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: It really is.

172
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: You know, if people are rich enough to trade with us,

173
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: produce stuff, they buy our stuff, we buy theirs. It's

174
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: pretty simple, but it's not something necessarily that are cantilists

175
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: like Trump understands. It's always the deal. He's never done

176
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: a good deal in the man's life. He's a bankrupt

177
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: Have you ever met it, Yeah, I met him that

178
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: he was sort of.

179
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 3: When he was a developer in the eighties, you.

180
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: Know, a good it was the orange then, or he

181
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: just said he.

182
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 3: Was a good looking guy. Actually, you know, but.

183
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: You go to wherever the dew was, you see it

184
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: as flattened. Well, I went once and no idea who

185
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: the head I was, you know or whatever. He just

186
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: you just said, just welcome and you shook hands and

187
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: you were.

188
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: At the party.

189
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: But it was all the faces of that time, you know,

190
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: and he was making sure they all came to him.

191
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he had political ambitions. I think they

192
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: arrived with popularity with the Apprentice.

193
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 5: You know, you've done some amazing things in your time,

194
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 5: and I know you'll obviously tell a lot of those

195
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 5: stories quite humbly on your tour.

196
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: No, not humbly.

197
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: I don't do pride, I don't do humility.

198
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 5: But who was some like you did so much of

199
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 5: it through music and through the music industry.

200
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 4: Who are some of.

201
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 5: Those musicians and bands and entertainers now who you look

202
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: at and think, well, they are doing great things for

203
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 5: the world.

204
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: Because I think that, I don't think you need to.

205
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you guys, because you do this

206
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: show and your your your personality face, you get asked

207
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: to do stuff, and I don't think it's that's part

208
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: art of the job of being a musician. The only

209
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: job of the artist is to create good art. They

210
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: failed when they create bad art, that's it. The rest

211
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: is up to the person. What view did they take

212
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: on things.

213
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: My view was.

214
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: That when the Rats had the number one records on

215
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: the stadiums and all that stuff, my take on that

216
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: was that famous occurrency and like any currency, it depends

217
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: on how wisely you spend it. And at the very

218
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: beginning the first ever interview I did, I was moaning

219
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: about pop and if you, if you really, you talked

220
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,239
Speaker 1: of the Queen movie. If you really want to understand

221
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: why punk came about, it's because of one word queen.

222
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 3: You know.

223
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: It was to do with like the length of their limousine,

224
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: the height of their hair, the platform of the big house.

225
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: And we rejected that.

226
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: And so I was moaning about that, and the journalist said, well,

227
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: what do you want to get out of this? And

228
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: I said three things. I want to get rich, I

229
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: want to get famous, and I want to get laid.

230
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: And you know, if you come from a yeah, done

231
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: it all, mate.

232
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 3: And it's a lot better than previously.

233
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: So and you know, the riches, the rich and late

234
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: bodies is self evident. But the fame thing I actually said,

235
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: I've checked it is I want to use the platform

236
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: it gives me to talk about the things that bother

237
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: me and I have, so that that's me and I

238
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: really don't put that on others. So for example, when

239
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: we were putting together Live Aid and some of the

240
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: bands have broken up, like the Who, Pete, Townsend Rogers

241
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: didn't like each other, so I to beg Pete to

242
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: phone Roger and make up to come back. Some came

243
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: back naturally, the Beach Boys, Black Sabbath.

244
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: Irresponsible for Oasis getting back together.

245
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 3: No, but honestly, what's it?

246
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: I literally was texting Noel on the car over here,

247
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, because we have this text bro relationship sort

248
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: of thing, and they're a great bad and they would

249
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: not do something like this.

250
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: It's not their thing. And what's it. Nole's really clever guy.

251
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: I mean properly so, but like, no, it's not what

252
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: they do, it's not what that's somewhere he is.

253
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 3: He doesn't believe it achieves anything.

254
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: But even if you did believe in Chief d anything,

255
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: if you don't want to do it, that's completely fine.

256
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: Queen, you know, were.

257
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: Very difficult because I told this story, but it's true.

258
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: They'd come to the end of a world tour. They

259
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: were in Oz. Harvey Goldsmith, the promoter in London, said

260
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: you got to get Queen. I said, why, it's kind

261
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: of a bit done with Queen, isn't it. And why

262
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: Harvey wanted them because he wanted to do their next tour. Roger,

263
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: the drummer is against name drop stuff, a really good friend.

264
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: I hang with him and I.

265
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: Called, can you add us to these group chats? I

266
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 4: don't like it.

267
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: I called called Roger in Australia and they said, oh man,

268
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, we know what's going on. It's amazing, but

269
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: we're a bit tired. The tour had not gone great

270
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: and Freddie was about to go and make a solo album,

271
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: which is kind of the death knell for a banister.

272
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: Side of signal, and he said, but speak to Jim,

273
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: the manager, Jim Beach.

274
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: So I spoke to him.

275
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: I didn't like speaking to managers because they're the fault

276
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: position is no, that's first. Then the lawyer said no,

277
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: So I just spoke to the guys and Jim said, oh, Bob,

278
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, like we're really tired. Fred's gone big things.

279
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: I said, I know, I know Roger told me. He said, well,

280
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: let me put it to Fred. So two days later,

281
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: the phone call and I said, Bobsy, you know, I said, oh, hi, Fred,

282
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, and he said, well, what's all this about, Darling?

283
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: You know?

284
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: He said, it's wonderful what you're doing. It's so mediot,

285
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: you know.

286
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: And I said, well, I don't know. And I didn't

287
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: care if they did this or not. You know, I

288
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: really didn't. I didn't think we had that, we had

289
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: every band that ever existed, probably, and and I wasn't

290
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: going to push.

291
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 3: Him put the moral arm lock on him.

292
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: You've got to do it if you Yeah, I did

293
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: that with Pete Town's I do with the budget. So

294
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: so I don't know, Bobby, like, you know, I'm thinking

295
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: of making my own record.

296
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 3: I said, yeah.

297
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: Jim told me, and he said, and he was talking

298
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: himself out of doing this, and then there was a silence,

299
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: and I just couldn't care listen. I said that the

300
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: only thing that popped into my mind was, well, look, Fred,

301
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: if ever there was a stage built for you, this

302
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: is it.

303
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 3: And he said, what do you mean you know?

304
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: And I said, well, darling the world And there was

305
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: this silence and he said, yes, I think I know

306
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: where you're coming from.

307
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: And that was it. The next minute they pitch up

308
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: and they do this genius.

309
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 4: Incredible hearing it thought the phone call was yesterday.

310
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, So so as you know, that's it. As I say,

311
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: it's part of a mad life. I'm not sure I

312
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: understand it myself, but there you go.

313
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 6: There the stories that people are going to be hanging

314
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 6: for an evening with Bob Goldoff songs and stories from

315
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 6: an extraordinary life coming.

316
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,200
