0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>with the lead singer, Ali Campbell, one of the nicest guys.

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, but I want to take you back to

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 2>when it started, my very first interview with Alie Campbell. Okay,

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 2>and I was.

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 3>Like that they gave.

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:27.680
<v Speaker 2>They were like, Okay, they're coming and there's only one

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 2>interview that he has time to do, so you're going

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 2>to get it. So he was under the impression this

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>is like, this is the main dude, you know, this is.

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.119
<v Speaker 4>Serious business music journalism.

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:42.639
<v Speaker 3>This is the main radio station.

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 2>This is giving me the max coverage.

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 3>What could go wrong?

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, let me be a DJ stuck

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 2>in a TimewARP that classic eighties.

0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 4>Journey which you are reerially good at all.

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Right, don't touch that dial. It's crazy how you just

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 3>switched that on. Don't touch that dial.

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 5>You could have had this or even laughing in radio,

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 5>but you laugh through your nose.

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Very polite.

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that era. So I wanted to take him

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.360
<v Speaker 2>back there and make him think, like put him in

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 2>a world where he goes, what is this like? Where

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 2>am I the worst interview? And I'll make it like

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 2>it's live. So he's got no option to put the

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:35.119
<v Speaker 2>phone down.

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 4>And he's such a professional, he is so generous with

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.399
<v Speaker 4>his time. Yes, and here you are.

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 2>So I have callers, I have all that lined up right,

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.640
