Speaker 1: If you haven't heard of that term before, a writer

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: is a set of requirements that a performer includes in

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,120

Speaker 1: will tell you who demanded a ball bit, who asked

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: for chocolate covered ants and who said they would only

00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: accept purple colored furniture. Well, I'm joining the studio now

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: by news dot com dot I use entertainment editor Nick

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: Bond good I Nick, Hi Bucky. We have got an

26
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: article online right now. I read it this morning and

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: I loved it. It's all about Mariah Carey's backstage demands.

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 4: Tell us more now. Earlier this week, Mariah performed a

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 4: triumphant set at the Capitol Summertime Ball in London. Capital

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 4: is a big radio station over in the UK. Gotcha now.

31
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 4: A bunch of artists took place in the concert, including

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: Will Smith, Benson Boone, Tate, McCrae, jessej and Rita Aura.

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 4: But some of the Capital radio hosts spoke to the

34
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: Sun and revealed that Mariah had some diva requests backstage,

35
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 4: of course, including removing all the radio stations signage. Not

36
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: a fan of Capital.

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: Yes, she's changed the whole dressing room to just called

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: Ni's world.

39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 5: He doesn't even have campodness.

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 6: Wow.

41
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 4: Now we don't know what Mimi's world actually was. All

42
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 4: I know is it's a place I would like to

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 4: live in. But Mariah's quite intense rider has leaked in

44
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 4: the past. It includes crystal champagne and bendy straws from

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 4: which to sip the champagne, two air purifiers. She's also

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: requested her room be at about twenty three degrees no more,

47
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 4: no less, and filled with two dozen white roses and

48
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 4: vanilla aromatherapy candle.

49
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: Sounds lovely, you said crystal champagne, isn't it crystal?

50
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 4: So you can see you can tell that I'm a bogan.

51
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 4: Mariya would have me sacked.

52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: That's about five hundred bucks a bottle of the crystal

53
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: and you and I are passion pop people. So you

54
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: were talking about Mariah. Maria's actually coming to Australia.

55
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 4: She is the first time performing in Australia in eleven years,

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 4: will be in October. She's one of the headliners, along

57
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 4: with Pitbull, a legendary lineup for the Friday's Live concerts

58
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 4: in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and Melbourne in October. So promoters,

59
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: get those vanilla aromatherapy candles ready, please.

60
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: We're absusly going to take a look at some other

61
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: rider requests now and the most famous one of all

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: time comes from the eighties rock band Van Halen, who

63
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: sing that song jump, yeah, oh your love.

64
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 4: No, that's the points.

65
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah jump, but you got jump right, that's their big one.

66
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 5: Jump.

67
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: So they requested a bowl of Eminem's, but they said

68
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: that the bowl wasn't allowed to contain any brown Eminem's.

69
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: Right now, there was a method to their madness. They

70
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: weren't just being dicks. Lead singer David Lee Roth wrote

71
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: in his memoir that they added the no brown Eminem's

72
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: rule to check if the venues were actually reading their

73
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: rider properly, as it contained a whole bunch of technical

74
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: requirements for their on stage setup. So he wrote, and

75
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: I quote when I would walk backstage, if I saw

76
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: brown Eminem's in that bowl, well line check the entire

77
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: production guaranteed you're going to arrive at a technical era.

78
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: They just didn't read the contract. Sometimes it would threaten

79
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: to just destroy the whole show. So it was actually

80
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: kind of smart.

81
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 4: I mean, or is there a possibility that they were

82
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: too busy getting the brown Eminems out of the bowls

83
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: that they didn't have time to do of the technical

84
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 4: problems that he wanted.

85
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: I had not thought of that. You raise a good point.

86
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: All right, mister Bond, You've got another one for us

87
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: I do.

88
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: This one is about Ozzy sing a songwriter the kid Learoy.

89
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 4: He was asked a couple of years ago during an

90
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 4: interview on serious radio in the US what was on

91
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 4: his rider. Here's what he had to say. I have

92
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 4: a ballpit at the top for my rider.

93
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: No, you don't know, you don't lie, you doo.

94
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 6: Behind sees here in a city, how.

95
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 4: Many people have actually gotten you the ball pit? Every time?

96
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: God a ballpit?

97
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think this son's a bit silly.

98
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: I feel like you're there to do a job. You're

99
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 4: there to do a performance. You're not there for like

100
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 4: a kid's birthday party of.

101
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, grow up, buddy. Someone else who has a pretty

102
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: strange inclusion on his rider is Pharrell Williams. He appeared

103
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: on Jimmy Kimmel's Tonight Show in the US a few

104
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: years ago, and these artists actually even sent through rided

105
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 1: demands even when they're just appearing on a TV show.

106
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy could not believe one of the strange things on

107
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: Pharrell's list, and he brought it up with him during

108
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: the chat.

109
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 6: One thing that's on here that really caught everyone's attention

110
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 6: right there a framed picture of Carl Sagan, the astronomer,

111
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 6: the deceased astronomer and after physicists who had a PBS

112
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 6: show in a long time in the eighties.

113
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 5: I think, okay, so here's the thing. Yeah, I'm a

114
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 5: huge Carl Sagan fan. I think Cosmos was like it

115
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 5: was is amazing, was amazing, right, Okay, it's great because

116
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 5: Carl had like an incredible way of just like you know,

117
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 5: reminding us how insignificant we are, but how significant this

118
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 5: opportunity to live this life on this planet could be.

119
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: That's so for real, isn't it? A boody photo of

120
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 1: Carl Sagan?

121
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 4: That is an odd request, but look not as crazy

122
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 4: as what one star demanded when appearing on Graham Norton's

123
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: talk show in the UK.

124
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: Someone who will remained nameless. They wanted nine dressing rooms.

125
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: Nine This was a person, one person.

126
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: They want none dressing rooms. So we got them nine dressingrooms.

127
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: That's fine. And then in the afternoons came running into

128
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 2: the office situation, we need another dressing room, and so

129
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: catlinline producer the phone, she's organizing, and then she's.

130
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 4: Sort of how interested, why do you need the tenth dressing.

131
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: Room and they're charging their phone. What and that's we

132
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: live like animals?

133
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: Whoever that was sounds like a diva. I have read

134
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: up a little bit about this. He did reveal it

135
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: was a female. Who do you think it was?

136
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 4: I've got a feeling it might be j Low. She's

137
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 4: going to be known for a lot of diva requests.

138
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 4: Behind the scene, I was thinking Madonna. Okay, obviously we

139
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 4: don't know, so please don't so we're just wildly speculated.

140
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: Thing.

141
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: As we're talking about talk show appearances, you've got another one.

142
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 4: Yes, that's right. Rihanna sent through a writer for when

143
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 4: she visited Ellen's talk show back in the day, which

144
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: Ellen brought up on air.

145
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 7: So this is Rihanna's writer that you have to have

146
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 7: in the dressing room when she's here. Regular Cheetos, Hot Cheetos,

147
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 7: Golden Grams, Cereal, Oreos, cup of noodles, red and white wine, vodka, sola, grappuccinos,

148
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 7: garlic gloves. Now, how much of that would you actually consume?

149
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 7: Have you eaten an of yet back there yet?

150
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: I didn't have anything back there yet?

151
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 7: Will you just take it with you?

152
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: You just want to We're just.

153
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 7: With me okay.

154
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: I just like to be prepared. You never know what

155
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: you're gonna be.

156
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 7: But those are the things when you're in the mood,

157
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 7: those are your go to items. There's nothing help I

158
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 7: don't eat it.

159
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: I don't eat the oreos that much, but Golden Grams,

160
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 3: I haven't eaten those in about two years. Hot Cheetles

161
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: definitely happening. Uh huh, regular Cheetos when I'm tired of

162
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: hot cheetles?

163
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 7: Are they the soft Cheetos? Are the crunchy cheetah.

164
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: And she always aren't you know, the big like.

165
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 7: The big puppy ones that melt in your mouth. Yeah,

166
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 7: they're still talking about cheeses all right, So good on

167
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 7: your Rihanna, because they're all the tasty snacks, and you

168
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 7: know what, that's exactly what I would do as well.

169
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: One person who doesn't have any tasty snacks though, is

170
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: Taate McCrae. She's a Canadian singer who you might know

171
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 1: from this song.

172
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: Sny Bang Out.

173
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah it's not bad. That was stuck in my head

174
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: for months, that song. I haven't listened to. What she

175
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: told Serious Radio about her rider.

176
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 8: This is horrible because my mom ended up taking over

177
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 8: my rider like I was like, oh, Mom. I was like, Mom,

178
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 8: like I don't I don't really want to do this.

179
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: Was it getting out of control?

180
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 8: But no, I have a really bad taste when it

181
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 8: comes to just like let's say shopping, like I'll pick

182
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 8: out like a super ugly shirt. I don't know why.

183
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 8: I just I can't do things like pick out a

184
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 8: rider or go shopping.

185
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 4: Okay, so what does mom put on the rider?

186
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: Literally the worst.

187
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 8: Rider ever happened, and all my friends complain about it

188
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 8: when they come backstage.

189
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, it's.

190
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 8: Like rice cake.

191
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: It's like it's like water.

192
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 8: It's like to be found anywhere, not a single chip

193
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 8: in sight, Like it's awful. There's broccoli, there's that.

194
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: Oh nothing says rock star like a little bit of broccoli.

195
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: Does it stick around? I'm gonna reveal more riders in

196
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: just in myment, including which singer asks for chocolate covered ants.

197
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I'm joined by news dot com Dot Use

198
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: entertainment editor Nick Bond. Together we are discussing famous singers

199
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: and their backstage rider demands. Nick, You've got some goss

200
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: about what Coldplay ask for?

201
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: Yes, Now, Coldplay, it feels like they're eternally on tour,

202
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 4: so you could forgive them for wanting some creature compets

203
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 4: while they're out there on tour. They are currently in

204
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 4: the middle of their Music of the Spher's World tour,

205
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: which began way back in twenty twenty two. Right now,

206
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 4: they're performing in the US before they head to Europe

207
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: in August. So obviously the band members don't get to

208
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 4: see their kids as often as they like. Maybe they

209
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: don't like their d that's why they're on tour. They

210
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 4: have ten kids between them. They do their best to

211
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: keep in touch with them, so on their rider they

212
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: request a bunch of local stamped postcards so they can

213
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 4: keep their loved ones updated while on tour.

214
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: That's pretty cute, isn't it.

215
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: Do you really see Chris Martin going to Australia posts

216
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 4: while he's here. I'm not sure about this.

217
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: Stance are so expensive too, so so if I was.

218
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: There kid, then I got a postcard, I'd be like, Dad,

219
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 4: you're a multimillionaire.

220
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you get me a thresent private jet? For

221
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: God's sake? Bring me out there. This brings up a

222
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: few memories for me. A few years ago I got

223
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: to do it behind the scenes. Two of the Sydney

224
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: Opera House. Bit of a fun gig. They told me

225
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: all about Prince's demands when he was performing at that

226
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: venue in twenty sixteen. I think he did two shows

227
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: two months before he died. Did you go to those?

228
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 4: Yes? I did go to one of those, a late

229
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 4: night show. It was amazing.

230
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: Well. He asked that black draping be hung inside his

231
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: dressing room at the Sydney Opera House, and that'd be

232
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: used to line the entire walkway from his dressing room

233
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: all the way to the stage. He didn't want to

234
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: step on anything that wasn't black draping. He also requested

235
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: that his dressing room have purple furniture.

236
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 4: See a lot of these celebrity demands I hear them,

237
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 4: I go, oh, what a diva With Prince, I'm like,

238
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 4: this is as it should be. He should only have

239
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 4: purple furniture. He does couch purple.

240
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,239
Speaker 1: You've got another one about a famous singer.

241
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 4: Yes, Josh hom the singer from the band Queens of

242
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 4: the Stone Age. Last year he appeared on the Dish

243
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 4: podcast and he said that he entertains himself by adding

244
00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: bizarre things to his.

245
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 8: So as the years have gone on and we've had

246
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 8: access to more and more outrageous requests being honored.

247
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: It starts to make you ask.

248
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 4: For strange things. For a while, I used to ask

249
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 4: for chocolate covered ants and a map of Ireland to be.

250
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: Put on the wall.

251
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 4: And it would be like, and people would ask me.

252
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: I'd say, Josh, why you have chocolate covered ants and

253
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: a frame map of Ireland?

254
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 8: And I would say, wouldn't you like to know?

255
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeh?

256
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: I kind of like that attitude. He's having a bit

257
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: of a giggle with it all and just playing up

258
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: to the rock staff fantasy.

259
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, unless you're the lackey that has to go and

260
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 4: find chocolate covered an that's a good point.

261
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: Actually. I'm going to finish with a story from Stuart Coop.

262
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: He's a fellow I interviewed and a few years ago

263
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: for news dot com dot Au. He's a promoter and

264
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: he's also a writer who's released a couple of books.

265
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: I think you wrote one about Michael Kaninski. He told

266
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: me this story and I quote there's a famous story

267
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: where promoter Michael Chugg Australian working with meat Loaf in

268
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties and Chug was seen to be scurrying

269
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: around the media section in the front rows of the

270
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: concert just before meat Loaf was scheduled to come on.

271
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: What he was doing was asking everyone he knew in

272
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: the media if anyone had a joint. Someone said, why

273
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: do you need a joint? Chuggy, and he said, the

274
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: fat Sea Bomb won't come on until he has a joint.

275
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: Isn't that wonderful?

276
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: It's amazing, Rip.

277
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: Or meat Loaf by the way, Yes, I.

278
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,360
