40
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 4: to be we used to be going.

41
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: Okay.

42
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,960

Speaker 4: about the Wednesday or Thursday, we're going, okay, this thing's

47
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 4: finally run out of stone. We've received under three entries.

48
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 4: And then the day before or the day of, a

49
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 4: mail bag turns up with five hundred CDs or cassette

50
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 4: tapes made by people at home my recording and then we'd.

51
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: Divvy them up and listen to them, divvy them up

52
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: by the way, like people think that there would be

53
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: some special group of people whose job it was to

54
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: listen to them. War ah, everyone in the office would

55
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: get like fifteen of a meat that you had to

56
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 3: go home, and so there's probably like a silver chair

57
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: out there who got overlooked. Because I was like, this

58
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: is rough.

59
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 4: And with the greatest of respect of the women who

60
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 4: were listening on ninety three, like eighty percent of them

61
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 4: were just terrible, right, But there was one year and

62
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: a white name the band that won. But there's one

63
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 4: guy who was famous around Triple Job. He he overlooked

64
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 4: the Vines. Oh my god. The Vines sent him essentially

65
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 4: what was They send him ten songs on a CD

66
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 4: and it was their debut album that a year later

67
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: won multiple arias.

68
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: Yeah get free on it.

69
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, oh my god, these guys you'll never hear

70
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 4: of again nomination.

71
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: It was kind of right, just one album too.

72
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 4: So.

73
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: Big A load of the sick puppies. If they're listening,

74
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: is that what I see to the pants? That's what

75
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: it was like.

76
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: It was.

77
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: It was incredible at the day because I mean people, yeah,

78
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: so Adam and I just before text lines and you

79
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: could get feedback from like we were in the age

80
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: where I remember on air one day Adam saying to me, Hey,

81
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: there's this new company called Google that have just formed,

82
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: and I think it's really going to change things. And

83
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: of course, so you live through those events. Mostly we

84
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: used to answer our own phones. So this is the

85
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: thing that people don't realize. If you rang us, we

86
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: would go to a song and then Adam and I

87
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: would be the well speaking.

88
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: Did you guys have celebrity feud? Then you did. There

89
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: was a few celebrities that you had a crackhead?

90
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: What did you have?

91
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: I mean, there was a few over the years that

92
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: we had. I remember one morning, now look this one

93
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: even letrospects I feel a bit bad about because he's

94
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: no longer with us. That's the problem with this having

95
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: done things a long time ago as well. But we

96
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 3: had like so most of the time on the station.

97
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: The great thing was that people only coming in because

98
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: they wanted to normally they were So we had great

99
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: experiences with like you know, Dave Rowl or Chris Martin,

100
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 3: all these like people who would come in and they'd

101
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: just be such great guests on the show because they

102
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: loved the music. We were playing the support we've given

103
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: their bands.

104
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: And loved it because Tribble J played a special spot

105
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: play in the music architecture at the time.

106
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes your actors were.

107
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: More yeah in and maybe you hadn't seen their schedule

108
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: and known they were going to come in to do

109
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 3: the show. And there's one in particular I'm talking about

110
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: Rest in Peace, great actor Heath Ledger, and he had

111
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: done the Nig Kelly movie. Remember he did the net

112
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: Kelly movie. And he came into our studio and it

113
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: was like he had been taken hostage and brought in

114
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: like I've never never been less than seastic about being

115
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: in a radio interview.

116
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 4: You sometimes get one word answers. He was on the

117
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 4: verge of doing a one word into you.

118
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: Know that point where you can actually literally you're like,

119
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 3: you're like, what's that clicking in the background. Oh, it's

120
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: people switching their radios. It was giving us nothing, and

121
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 3: so I thought, well, I'll just I'll try to make

122
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 3: a little joke. And because he's doing this like quite

123
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 3: serious actory speech about I just wanted to understand why

124
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: Nick Kelly was so tortured and why he was like

125
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: so serious and the soul of the man, and I said,

126
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 3: do you reckon? It might be just because you always

127
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 3: had really bad hat hair.

128
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: This he just says to me.

129
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: That's not very funny, isn't it. And so I say,

130
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 3: I didn't see ten things I hate about you twice mate.

131
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: It's also alive because I did sport film and I

132
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: could recommend.

133
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: I can now label one more and I was quickly anyway,

134
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 4: here's the latest from Powder Fingers. There'll be magic moments
