Speaker 1: that all the time. I hope.

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 5: So I hope we're setting something, you know, the groundwork

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 5: for the next fifty years.

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,520

00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: Now, can we talk about the show, because I know

30
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 2: how obsessed my.

31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: Kids with these books? All right?

32
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: So your book's huge. Six how many countries are they

33
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: sold in?

34
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 5: I don't know how many countries there in thirty five languages, unbelieved,

35
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 5: So yeah, there'd be a bunch of countries that I

36
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 5: do not open this book.

37
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: It was just massive, And I've set you videos of

38
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: us me reading it with the kids and the whole

39
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: do not turn the next page, do not turn this page,

40
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 2: and the kids are freaking out. Okay, don't you have to, Dad?

41
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 4: Go on?

42
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: What's there now? It's a TV show? Yes, awesome, because

43
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: you've been working a bum off on this.

44
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's been a while.

45
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 5: It's funny like that idea of like, you know, kids

46
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 5: being too scared and not brave enough to keep going

47
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 5: with the books. That was a bit harder to capture

48
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 5: the TV show because parents normally read with their kids.

49
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 5: When it comes to watching a show, they plunk them

50
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 5: in front of it and they go off and do

51
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 5: something else, because it's that little bit of respite for parents,

52
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 5: and so we needed to develop a character to kind

53
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 5: of be that sure thing and help them through because

54
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 5: some kids.

55
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Do get scared while watching it.

56
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 5: And Denise Scott plays a tortoise, which is just this

57
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 5: time lifetime. Yeah exactly. She thrilled, but she's that helping,

58
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 5: trusting hand. I don't think there's any better voice to

59
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 5: be able to help kids through it.

60
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: Oh, can we have a listen? We've got a bit

61
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: of the trailer that way.

62
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: Jess, excuse me?

63
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 5: What are you doing?

64
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 6: You can see from the sign over there you're not

65
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 6: meant to be watching this shoe. There are plenty of

66
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 6: things you can watch, but this Shoe is not one

67
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 6: of them. Instead, you could watch that rock.

68
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: I love it?

69
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,480

Speaker 1: Lot, exactly what you want.

76
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,600

Speaker 5: going to try and test his.

78
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,120

Speaker 1: Has taken a long time to put together, isn't it.

95
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 5: Animation is so slowly?

96
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: What are well going to do one episode? Andy? Normally?

97
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 5: I mean it's on a little conveyor belt. But I

98
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 5: would say about nine months for eleven minutes.

99
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I know. But when you're watch it,

100
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: don't think that.

101
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 5: No, this took nine months.

102
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: Oh man, can we talk about the pub of New York?

103
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: I love you too, because it's been one of the.

104
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 5: Joys this year for me.

105
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: Isn't it funny? How that's a dream? How people want

106
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: to leave Australia go to.

107
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 4: New York and then go and try in New York

108
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 4: because it's an Australian.

109
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: Menu, isn't it? Yeah? Old Mates?

110
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 5: Yeah there was Well when we were in twenty eleven,

111
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 5: why not doing gap year?

112
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 2: Yah?

113
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 5: There I think there was six ozsie venues. They were

114
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 5: all like strong Aussie themed and then there was zero

115
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 5: and so we thought we better fix that because you

116
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 5: need a place to go and watch the AFL, the

117
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 5: NRL or I watched Matilda's win and the Pomp.

118
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: So we embarked on that.

119
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 5: We created Old Mates and it's just been so much fun.

120
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: Can I ask because it looks like someone has recently

121
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: moved in by the.

122
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: Know a hw jack money.

123
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: Every time you're over there, it's just out the front

124
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: of the pub and what I mean, what's he doing?

125
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: Is he doing like cheap taco nights on Tuesday?

126
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 7: He does bins, bussy and bins And then you eventually

127
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 7: funny you say that because when I was trying to

128
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 7: raise money for it, and we thought it'd be funny

129
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 7: to get iconic astrange for money and all these guys

130
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 7: were meant to be silent partners, and I was slowly

131
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 7: working through and obviously Haym said yes, very really, Paddy

132
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 7: Cummen said said yes.

133
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 5: Mick Fanning was first in. Actually I ring Fano and

134
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 5: I said, hey mate, I'm doing a pub. You know,

135
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 5: we just thought it'd be fun for Iconic because.

136
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 7: In I.

137
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 5: Said, oh, well, can you just forward me to your

138
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 5: finance team so I can work out the particulars you're

139
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 5: talking to him? And so I was adding people to

140
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 5: this WhatsApp and it was just the WhatsApp of the partners,

141
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 5: which turns out to be quite an amazing bunch of

142
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 5: peck with Ash Bardi, Pack Commons, Patty Mills, Mick Fanning, Hamrish, myself.

143
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 5: We're just kind of holding in there, hanging in there.

144
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: I think the others are farm right.

145
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 5: But when I added Hugh Jackman, as I said, Wolverine

146
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 5: just come out with Deadpool, and I'm like, I'm just

147
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 5: adding an actor. He's got a movie out of the moment,

148
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 5: not sure us any good. Please don't bring it up,

149
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 5: you know, and everyone's like, welcome to you, welcome you,

150
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 5: and pac comings are straight wrote it's great to have

151
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 5: someone on the ground in New York to take out

152
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 5: the bins, et cetera, not.

153
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: Even a welcome.

154
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: Do you know what, out of everyone in that group,

155
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 4: Pack Commins is the only one that could get away

156
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 4: with that.

157
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love the idea that you could walk in

158
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: there and it would feel like if Hugh Jackman's not there,

159
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: or there would be a seed at the bar or

160
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 2: something to suggest that that's the Jackman spot.
