1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Tim morning, good stuff, Katie. How are you?

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 2: I'm excellent, how are you? You must be excited? No

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 2: more alarms.

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: Boss just asked me that, he said, are you excited?

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: And we were taking bets off air. I didn't participate

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: because I'm not allowed to bet because you've told me

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: I can't. But we were taking bets off air as

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: to when I would utter the first words G. I

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind getting back on the radio.

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jason, and I usually take that bet every summer too,

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: because You're like, I'm so exhausted, I'm so ready for

12
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: a break, and then about five minutes into your holiday

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: you're like, yeah, no, I've got stuff to say. I'm

14
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: ready to go back. It's unbelievable. Have some sleep for goodness.

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: Sake, exactly.

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: Anyway, how are you going to what's the what's the

17
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: situation at your workplace visa the Christmas parties?

18
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 3: Well, yeh, look, I've actually I'm investigating this because of

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 3: obviously the public sector, but I was actually thinking about

20
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: our Christmas party, the Wrap the Week Christmas party on Monday,

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 3: and I think we've got the lowest price per per

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: head in terms of it's coffee. It's a DCF. I'll

23
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: have a DCF five point fifty. You're not planning on

24
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: having a muffin though, are you.

25
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: I'm not actually planning on being there.

26
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: What, don't worry to them.

27
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: I'll drag them.

28
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: Alon, drag them Alon. Three coffees in a muffin. So

29
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: you're talking, we could probably come scraping under twenty five,

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: couldn't we twenty five bucks for three people? You're here?

31
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? We could do twenty We pay

32
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: for that ourselves. The company doesn't self fund it, That's true.

33
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: Something we probably need to what the public This is

34
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: what the public sector. This is how the public sector

35
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: needs to learn to run stuff. You do it yourself.

36
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: You don't rely on other people. So three coffees and

37
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: a muff and we'll say Merry Christmas, and that'll be

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: us for another year, and we will be happy and satisfied,

39
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: won't we.

40
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: Well, we probably have a certain age where we don't

41
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: really need to get ourselves completely hammered and you know,

42
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: dance on tables.

43
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: Do you think that ever happened? Katie? Did you ever

44
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: go see when I joined radio in the in the eighties, Yes.

45
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: It did happen. I mean didn't your chief executive do

46
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: a show you at one of the Christmas parties.

47
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: You told me a famous story about one of your

48
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: radio Christmas parties where someone fell through the ceiling.

49
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: No, that wasn't a Christmas No, that's a good story.

50
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: That wasn't a Christmas party. That was just a regular

51
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: day at the office. That was towards the end of

52
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: the year, and they might have been having a party

53
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: for two But that was a fantastic story at Radio Windy.

54
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: And the thing about Radio Windy, which is no longer

55
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: in existence now, is that it had those ceilings where

56
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: you have actually, as I look up, we've got these ceilings,

57
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: so you know, the ceilings with individual boards, right, and

58
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: you can take the board out and climb into the roof. Anyway,

59
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: they fell out of the ceiling in a certain position

60
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: into reception, into reception, inter reception. But those were the

61
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: glory days of radio. Nothing like that's ever happened since.

62
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: And I do believe that when you talk to the

63
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: older members of the broadcasting community, they all go down

64
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: that track.

65
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: There we go.

66
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: I remember when where you were right like that, And

67
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: of course I don't even know what it ever really happened.

68
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: To be honest, No, I did Mega magazines. I used

69
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: to go go out to lunch with Bill Rolston on

70
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: a Friday.

71
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: We have Friday with Bill Rolston. That's not Christmas. Christmas.

72
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. I'll tell you what when you when

73
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: you have a lunch that lasts for eighteen hours, you

74
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: know you've had lunch?

75
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: Eighteen?

76
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 3: Are you?

77
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: Are you? Eighteen? So far?

78
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: Came twelve o'clock Bill from from noon from noon. We

79
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: used to because the rest of the company used to

80
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: do used to be Australian Consolidated Press. They'd have informal Friday,

81
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: but because we were sort of a bit hoiity toyy,

82
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: we'd have formal Friday and we'd go out for lunch.

83
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: And yeah, I came. I came to the sensors dancing

84
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: to a heavy metal song. I don't know. It might

85
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: have been Motorhead at six am in a nightclub on

86
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: Queen Stream.

87
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Thought that was a time to gard fantastic.

88
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 3: Do you want?

89
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: Do you want slip knock tickets for Christmas? Coding?

90
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: No? I don't, But guess what. Guess what excitement I

91
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: got this morning with my Spotify rat because I heard

92
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: you promoing.

93
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: I die, I am dying.

94
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: To hear how minutes I hadn't even looked at it,

95
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: so I jumped on Spotify. Do you know I am

96
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: in the top six percent of listeners worldwide.

97
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't surprise me because I was saying earlier,

98
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: all of our music and it's may it's throughout the

99
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: day and on the weekend, is driven out of your

100
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: Spotify account. Therefore, because we have music on all the time,

101
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: every day, every hour of every day then and it

102
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: comes from exclusively your phone, then I'm not surprised at that.

103
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: So what do you what do you want to give us?

104
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 1: The number?

105
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: Forty three, seven hundred and twenty.

106
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: Eight minutes forty three thousand? Do you believe Cecon?

107
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: I didn't actually think that was too bad?

108
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: No, but that puts you did you think?

109
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 3: What do you think it would be? Well?

110
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: I had text this morning from over one hundred thousand

111
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: minutes and somebody claimed to it in twenty thousand minutes,

112
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: So I think that's b Yes, because I know how

113
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: much music we listened to it at forty three thousand,

114
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: they cannot be listening to five times more music than

115
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: did you get?

116
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: Because your top artist was Luke Holmes wasn't it? And

117
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: my top artist was Joshua Raden And then as I

118
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: clicked through, I gotta you get this video message from him. Yes, yeah,

119
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 2: that's so cute, the thanking the Spotify fans for like listening.

120
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: Well, i'll tell you that's coming out. That's that's an

121
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: aiicon and I'll tell you about that in a moment

122
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: two hundred and three, Caddy, where were we?

123
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: So?

124
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: What was the think?

125
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 2: Sorry?

126
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: So it's it's what it is is when my artist

127
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: was Luke Holmes and then it suddenly it goes, oh,

128
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: it seems that we're not alone and then boom, your

129
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: favorite artist comes up with a message. In my case

130
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: it's Luke Colmes. Now, the problem with Luke Holmes's message

131
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: it was a very generic message and it's two Australians.

132
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: He says, I'll tell you what. I'm coming to Australia

133
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: next year. I'm looking forward to being in Australia. And

134
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: I thought, mate, I'm not in Australia. And so they've

135
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: obviously not quite regionalized it out to a point where

136
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: it feels like an individual message. What was yours, Cadie?

137
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: Who was it from Joshua Radin.

138
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was just basically thinking he didn't he

139
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: didn't do a specific region. He was just, hey, thank

140
00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: you so much for listening to so much of my

141
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: new I just so appreciate you know, fans, and blah

142
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: blah blah, and this is what I'm doing and thank

143
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: you for sharing it and enjoying it. And I make

144
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: it because you love it. Blah blah blah.

145
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: So what we want is the first person who has

146
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: their number one artist who didn't have a message on Spotify,

147
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: because they can't have gone to every artist in the

148
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: world and gone a message, can they. Yeah, so if

149
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: your top artist was Beethoven, they would have struggled, surely.

150
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: But I wonder if the really big.

151
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: What but she would have done one? Of course she

152
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: would have.

153
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: Can I can I tell you guys about my track

154
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 3: of the year? Yeah, okay, so it's not it's not

155
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: on Spotify by a by an artist called It's by

156
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 3: an artist called Wolfe Wilson. And I've been talking about

157
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: this track quite a bit lately.

158
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: Has he done a song?

159
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: He's well, he created something. So a few weeks back,

160
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: he was doing his piano practice and he had to

161
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: practice when the Saints go marching in. You know when

162
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: the Saints go marching to do so he did that

163
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: very reluctantly. Yeah, doesn't doesn't doesn't love the piano practice thing.

164
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: Then he goes outside and he grabs his trident that

165
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: he got for Halloween, and he was playing with his

166
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: tridents to your Wolfy, I'm just talking about you on

167
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: the radio. Wolf is just he's just coming to say goodbye.

168
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: So grabs has tried and seems to perk up a bit,

169
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: then walks through the door and swings it between his

170
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: legs and starts to strut, going when my diddle becomes

171
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: a trident, When my diddle becomes a trident, and you

172
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: just think, and you look at your spouse, your bride,

173
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: and you say, this is your side of the family.

174
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: This is where this comes from. There's something wrong, dreadfully wrong.

175
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: I thought I thought he was going to play as

176
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: a fabulous rendition of when the Saints go Marching In?

177
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,040
