WEBVTT - 'We Have The Cassettes From Our First Ever Community Radio Shows!'

0:00:02.570 --> 0:00:04.220
<v S1>A listener production.

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:08.810
<v S2>William, this is our remembering project.

0:00:08.820 --> 0:00:10.950
<v S3>Yep, we're a random day of the year is selected,

0:00:10.950 --> 0:00:13.350
<v S3>and we look up the run sheets from all our

0:00:13.350 --> 0:00:16.380
<v S3>shows from across the years to find any we did

0:00:16.380 --> 0:00:19.230
<v S3>on that day over 20 years. That's about 2500.

0:00:19.230 --> 0:00:23.790
<v S2>Shows and roughly 26,000 talk breaks. Today we pick one

0:00:23.790 --> 0:00:26.189
<v S2>one talk break only and try to remember what happened

0:00:26.190 --> 0:00:28.110
<v S2>based on what was written down on the run sheet

0:00:28.110 --> 0:00:28.910
<v S2>from that day.

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.260
<v S3>As always, we've got podcast. Mike was here for any

0:00:31.260 --> 0:00:32.120
<v S3>technical stuff.

0:00:32.130 --> 0:00:35.400
<v S2>Hello, Mike, what date was randomly chosen today?

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.760
<v S4>No date. Special episode. Oh.

0:00:47.450 --> 0:00:51.410
<v S5>This is Hamish and Andy's remembering project.

0:00:53.930 --> 0:00:57.020
<v S3>Haim. No. Date. Special. Special episode.

0:00:57.140 --> 0:01:00.650
<v S2>Special episode of The Remembering today. Because I found as

0:01:00.650 --> 0:01:04.700
<v S2>I was cleaning out my study at home, our old cassettes.

0:01:04.790 --> 0:01:05.649
<v S3>No no no.

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:10.220
<v S2>From sin FM, the radio student youth network. The first

0:01:10.220 --> 0:01:14.569
<v S2>time we're ever on radio together. Um, technically, I mean,

0:01:14.569 --> 0:01:16.430
<v S2>the whole the way this came about was I was

0:01:16.430 --> 0:01:18.470
<v S2>working at the Village Bell Hotel in Saint Kilda, the

0:01:18.470 --> 0:01:19.040
<v S2>pub you.

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:19.430
<v S3>Were.

0:01:19.430 --> 0:01:21.860
<v S2>And we were trying to work out how we could

0:01:21.860 --> 0:01:24.060
<v S2>possibly get on the radio and see.

0:01:24.230 --> 0:01:28.520
<v S3>In between some. I remember the beer being quite well priced.

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:29.510
<v S3>They're very well.

0:01:29.510 --> 0:01:30.370
<v S2>Priced for friends.

0:01:30.380 --> 0:01:36.170
<v S3>I remember enjoying coming to visit you and and going, oh,

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.009
<v S3>for such a cheap beer. This actually tastes pretty good.

0:01:39.020 --> 0:01:41.209
<v S2>Yeah. Tastes exactly the same. Actually.

0:01:41.450 --> 0:01:43.759
<v S3>Tastes like a Carlton Draught. Yeah. How does he get it?

0:01:44.060 --> 0:01:48.500
<v S2>How does he get to taste the same taste? Nothing. Because.

0:01:48.500 --> 0:01:50.450
<v S3>Nothing. How does the publican get it across the bar

0:01:50.450 --> 0:01:52.910
<v S3>for no money and still make a profit? But I

0:01:52.910 --> 0:01:53.660
<v S3>guess he did.

0:01:53.660 --> 0:01:56.120
<v S2>Yeah, well, I viewed you, and maybe I was ahead

0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:00.530
<v S2>of time. I viewed you as an influencer. Yes. I

0:02:00.530 --> 0:02:04.070
<v S2>thought you being in the bar would definitely attract more people.

0:02:04.070 --> 0:02:05.600
<v S3>In in the word would spread.

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:06.500
<v S2>We would spread this.

0:02:06.500 --> 0:02:10.070
<v S3>Fizzy amber fluid. We see this cool young man drinking. Yes.

0:02:10.070 --> 0:02:11.900
<v S3>I'll try a cup of that.

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:12.790
<v S2>It's.

0:02:12.889 --> 0:02:15.350
<v S3>So what does he pay for it? He drinks them

0:02:15.350 --> 0:02:18.680
<v S3>for free. But for you, sir, it's 380. I'm willing

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:19.609
<v S3>to part with that.

0:02:20.510 --> 0:02:22.040
<v S2>Weirdly. Two bucks.

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:22.959
<v S3>$2 pots, were they?

0:02:23.090 --> 0:02:25.880
<v S2>Well, we had $2. We had dollar pots for a special.

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.870
<v S2>But when I was serving them at price was $2.30

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.680
<v S2>for a pot of beer when I was serving them

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:31.520
<v S2>back in those days.

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.500
<v S3>Jeez, I don't know how many shillings that is, but

0:02:33.500 --> 0:02:35.270
<v S3>that was that was the day as well.

0:02:35.570 --> 0:02:37.910
<v S2>Those were the days. So we weren't ripping off the

0:02:37.910 --> 0:02:38.959
<v S2>owner that amount.

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.930
<v S3>But it was nice of the owner without even having

0:02:41.930 --> 0:02:44.180
<v S3>to say it in as many words, to give you

0:02:44.180 --> 0:02:46.520
<v S3>the authority to chop and choose who you saw as

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:47.300
<v S3>an influencer.

0:02:47.330 --> 0:02:49.760
<v S2>Very cool of him to never reference. I didn't have

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:51.140
<v S2>to reference it back to him, and it was this.

0:02:51.139 --> 0:02:53.570
<v S3>Cool, unspoken deal that as soon as you walked in,

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:55.880
<v S3>what was his name follow? Yeah. As soon as he

0:02:55.889 --> 0:02:58.610
<v S3>walked in, you could see Ike Barlow is the kind

0:02:58.610 --> 0:03:00.770
<v S3>of guy that doesn't even need to say if you

0:03:00.770 --> 0:03:03.380
<v S3>made some free beers, because that's great for business, and

0:03:03.380 --> 0:03:05.600
<v S3>you're the kind of employee that doesn't even need to

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.570
<v S3>acknowledge it hasn't been said. You're just. And I think

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.100
<v S3>all the time that saved and it.

0:03:10.100 --> 0:03:14.300
<v S2>Was good of you out of respect to Barlow to

0:03:14.300 --> 0:03:16.669
<v S2>when he walked in the room. Pay for a drink.

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:24.110
<v S3>Yeah, yeah. As a sort of a nostalgic joke to

0:03:24.110 --> 0:03:26.820
<v S3>go look at. And he got the joke. He got

0:03:26.820 --> 0:03:27.980
<v S3>the big of a joke.

0:03:32.550 --> 0:03:34.000
<v S2>Yeah, that was good.

0:03:34.010 --> 0:03:36.470
<v S3>It was a straight just three people on the same page.

0:03:36.710 --> 0:03:38.150
<v S3>Nothing needs to be said.

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:41.600
<v S2>So it was right.

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.760
<v S3>We would we would set it the village bell and

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.250
<v S3>plot and plot. Well, basically just be like, well, we

0:03:46.250 --> 0:03:48.170
<v S3>want to do this is remembered. So we're talking what

0:03:48.170 --> 0:03:49.760
<v S3>are we talking in 2002.

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:50.570
<v S2>2002.

0:03:50.660 --> 0:03:55.820
<v S3>2002. So it's like the internet obviously exists, but you know,

0:03:55.820 --> 0:03:58.970
<v S3>this is Hotmail was big news back then. Obviously no

0:03:58.970 --> 0:04:01.640
<v S3>social media, no Facebook, no no anything. So a guy

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:01.970
<v S3>that worked.

0:04:01.970 --> 0:04:04.870
<v S2>There had said, hey, you should check out the sin

0:04:05.330 --> 0:04:06.130
<v S2>FM student.

0:04:06.500 --> 0:04:07.400
<v S3>Community radio.

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.890
<v S2>And I was like, that'd be fun, fun. And you said, well,

0:04:09.890 --> 0:04:11.300
<v S2>I've got to make good rye that we used to

0:04:11.300 --> 0:04:14.869
<v S2>muck around doing, doing some fun comedy. Funny. So I

0:04:14.870 --> 0:04:16.789
<v S2>reckon we should involve him. And I said, this is weird.

0:04:16.790 --> 0:04:19.310
<v S2>I said, well, I've got to make quid, whipper. Yeah.

0:04:19.310 --> 0:04:19.729
<v S3>We're out.

0:04:19.730 --> 0:04:22.430
<v S2>Wow, that maybe we should get him involved. And this

0:04:22.430 --> 0:04:25.849
<v S2>one cassette tape was part of this show. Whip was

0:04:25.850 --> 0:04:29.599
<v S2>on the entire show. It was you, me, Ryan and Whipper.

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.450
<v S2>And now I don't recall whipper b, I remember him

0:04:32.450 --> 0:04:34.729
<v S2>being a guest, maybe at times, but he's been part

0:04:34.730 --> 0:04:35.750
<v S2>of this entire show.

0:04:35.779 --> 0:04:40.940
<v S3>I remember vaguely the whipper being somewhat around and involved.

0:04:40.940 --> 0:04:43.100
<v S2>I thought he came in twice. Maybe it was just twice.

0:04:43.100 --> 0:04:45.440
<v S3>But maybe it was just because. Also, we had no

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.089
<v S3>idea what we were doing was just like, hey, anyone

0:04:47.089 --> 0:04:49.279
<v S3>jump on? Like, let's just try and get flying hours.

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.979
<v S2>Yes, we should point a whipper whipper now.

0:04:52.790 --> 0:04:57.380
<v S3>Sydney breakfast icons on radio and been there for many years. Um,

0:04:57.500 --> 0:05:00.620
<v S3>whipper celebrity Apprentice it's in whipper one season. I think

0:05:00.620 --> 0:05:02.690
<v S3>of 20 to 1. Possibly did two. I don't know

0:05:02.690 --> 0:05:07.729
<v S3>if it was it. Two does. Yeah, possibly so. Certainly

0:05:07.730 --> 0:05:11.539
<v S3>no stranger to fame and fortune. But do you know

0:05:11.540 --> 0:05:14.570
<v S3>what else was around at the time in Melbourne and

0:05:14.570 --> 0:05:17.779
<v S3>this would this appeared in other radio markets around the

0:05:17.779 --> 0:05:22.159
<v S3>country was a popular format on triple M was the cage. Yes.

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:23.510
<v S3>And so it was. It was you didn't have a

0:05:23.510 --> 0:05:26.150
<v S3>breakfast show of just some people you knew. The idea

0:05:26.150 --> 0:05:28.670
<v S3>was more just, here's a bunch of people. Yes. And

0:05:28.670 --> 0:05:30.860
<v S3>you don't even need to know who they are. They're

0:05:30.860 --> 0:05:33.110
<v S3>just in the cage. It was like the thing we've

0:05:33.110 --> 0:05:35.779
<v S3>trapped them in is the famous thing. Yes. We want

0:05:35.779 --> 0:05:38.330
<v S3>you to know the show by the by the the vessel.

0:05:38.330 --> 0:05:40.539
<v S3>They live in the cage. Which was. Which was. It

0:05:40.550 --> 0:05:43.230
<v S3>doesn't matter what animals are in there, it's just the cage.

0:05:43.230 --> 0:05:45.210
<v S2>Sometimes there was five in the cage, sometimes was.

0:05:45.470 --> 0:05:48.080
<v S3>Doesn't matter. You're not coming to the zoo for the animals.

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.120
<v S3>You're coming because of the quality of the cage.

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:51.350
<v S2>James Brayshaw was in the cage.

0:05:51.350 --> 0:05:52.860
<v S3>James Brasher was a cage man. Bridget.

0:05:53.910 --> 0:05:54.400
<v S2>Pete Berner.

0:05:54.550 --> 0:05:56.929
<v S3>Pete Berner there's a lot of people rotating throughout the

0:05:56.930 --> 0:05:57.470
<v S3>cage now.

0:05:57.470 --> 0:05:59.870
<v S2>There are pros and cons for having a cage like

0:05:59.870 --> 0:06:04.609
<v S2>system or a radio network. The pro is this is

0:06:04.610 --> 0:06:05.270
<v S2>the big one.

0:06:05.779 --> 0:06:07.700
<v S3>No one can get more famous than the show.

0:06:07.700 --> 0:06:11.450
<v S2>Yes, so you can. If you don't like a performer. Yeah,

0:06:11.450 --> 0:06:12.650
<v S2>you can shift them away.

0:06:12.860 --> 0:06:14.900
<v S3>Hey, no, but this is. People love me on this show.

0:06:14.900 --> 0:06:17.300
<v S3>No they don't. They love the system. You're trapped in

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.839
<v S3>the cage and they love your containment system.

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.690
<v S2>So you did end up having to pay 5 or

0:06:24.690 --> 0:06:26.929
<v S2>6 on air talent opposed to just two. That's it.

0:06:26.930 --> 0:06:28.880
<v S3>But you never had a Colin Jackie situation where they

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:30.890
<v S3>were like, hey, we could leave and destroy you. Yeah.

0:06:30.890 --> 0:06:34.350
<v S3>You can't. They'd be like, no, we we own the cage. Yeah.

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.490
<v S3>You just come in and out of the door.

0:06:37.580 --> 0:06:39.230
<v S2>Occasionally we open the door. You're allowed out.

0:06:39.230 --> 0:06:40.279
<v S3>Yeah. That's it.

0:06:40.310 --> 0:06:42.110
<v S2>We might remove you and lock the door. You can't

0:06:42.110 --> 0:06:42.529
<v S2>come back in.

0:06:42.529 --> 0:06:44.540
<v S3>We've got 25 other lemurs that would love to be

0:06:44.540 --> 0:06:47.210
<v S3>in the cage. Yeah, so Ali Mo might have been

0:06:47.210 --> 0:06:47.600
<v S3>in the cage.

0:06:50.660 --> 0:06:52.310
<v S2>Yes. Anthony Lehman.

0:06:52.310 --> 0:06:55.940
<v S3>Yeah. Lima. Lima, Mo. So the reason I mentioned the

0:06:55.940 --> 0:06:58.160
<v S3>cage is because I think that would have been us

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.320
<v S3>just being like, we would listen to the cage and

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.240
<v S3>we would go, and this might have been our idea

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:03.799
<v S3>of being like, oh, just get whipper in. Like doesn't

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.169
<v S3>you don't show doesn't have to be about people. It's

0:07:06.170 --> 0:07:09.860
<v S3>just a general gathering of whoever's around.

0:07:10.540 --> 0:07:14.210
<v S2>What are your memories of our first ever community radio shows?

0:07:14.230 --> 0:07:17.679
<v S2>Mine was we tram down from Melbourne University because it

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:22.600
<v S2>was at a different university, and we do one kind

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.140
<v S2>of meeting before it.

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:24.910
<v S3>We go to the pub.

0:07:24.910 --> 0:07:27.790
<v S2>Yep. Yeah, go to the pub and often we, one

0:07:27.790 --> 0:07:29.950
<v S2>of us would say I've read the odd spot.

0:07:29.980 --> 0:07:31.450
<v S3>It was kind of a race to the odds.

0:07:31.930 --> 0:07:34.530
<v S2>In the paper. I want to read that out in between.

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.040
<v S2>That's and I've got the jokes.

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.230
<v S3>And there was also a free newspaper at the time

0:07:38.230 --> 0:07:41.950
<v S3>on trains and trams, Amex. And didn't it. It had

0:07:41.950 --> 0:07:43.000
<v S3>its own little thing.

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.550
<v S2>It had multiple kind of odds, body type things. That

0:07:45.550 --> 0:07:47.030
<v S2>was a boom. That was a boom scene.

0:07:47.290 --> 0:07:51.160
<v S3>Because honestly, this is the very first time where, you know,

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:52.780
<v S3>this is how you get into radio or you get

0:07:52.780 --> 0:07:55.180
<v S3>into this sort of thing. You go, hey, we're pretty funny.

0:07:55.180 --> 0:07:59.080
<v S3>I like being funny. We have fun together. Wouldn't it

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.210
<v S3>be fun to do it on, on air? And we

0:08:01.210 --> 0:08:04.630
<v S3>could spread that fun. Yeah. That's good. Oh, what a

0:08:04.630 --> 0:08:06.850
<v S3>dream would it be if all day we could just

0:08:06.850 --> 0:08:09.940
<v S3>be having fun? Yes, that. That's good. That's a good intention.

0:08:09.940 --> 0:08:13.240
<v S3>And it's not until you are walking in the building.

0:08:13.900 --> 0:08:16.450
<v S3>There you go. But hang on. What are we going

0:08:16.450 --> 0:08:20.260
<v S3>to be funny about? What are we going to say? Yes.

0:08:20.260 --> 0:08:22.030
<v S3>And then the other person, we like just funny things

0:08:22.030 --> 0:08:23.530
<v S3>and you'd be like, yeah, that's what I was thinking.

0:08:23.530 --> 0:08:26.980
<v S3>But if you thought more about what they will be,

0:08:27.130 --> 0:08:29.140
<v S3>what will they be? The things we talk about and

0:08:29.140 --> 0:08:31.750
<v S3>you're like, just what's going on? And then you go, yeah,

0:08:31.750 --> 0:08:35.260
<v S3>but what is that? And then you start to go,

0:08:35.260 --> 0:08:37.300
<v S3>oh no, what am I going to talk about? Oh

0:08:37.300 --> 0:08:39.609
<v S3>my God, I've got to talk about something. Then you

0:08:39.610 --> 0:08:42.010
<v S3>literally sit there and go, what do people talk about?

0:08:42.100 --> 0:08:44.739
<v S3>And you, that's when the penny drops. That's when the

0:08:44.740 --> 0:08:47.080
<v S3>penny drops. Like you actually need to have something to

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.540
<v S3>say if you're going to ask people to listen. And

0:08:49.540 --> 0:08:52.120
<v S3>then we just had we're like, the only thing we

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:56.740
<v S3>can think of that wouldn't be arrogant to talk like

0:08:56.740 --> 0:08:59.110
<v S3>it wouldn't be just self-centered to talk about. No one

0:08:59.110 --> 0:09:02.650
<v S3>cares about us talking about current news. No one cares

0:09:02.650 --> 0:09:05.010
<v S3>about our personal lives. Because at that time you're like, well,

0:09:05.020 --> 0:09:07.090
<v S3>no one knows who you are. Yeah, I guess it's

0:09:07.090 --> 0:09:11.410
<v S3>odd spots. Yeah. That's fun. And factoids. Yeah. Tidbits. That's fun.

0:09:11.410 --> 0:09:11.970
<v S3>It's always nice.

0:09:11.980 --> 0:09:13.360
<v S4>You got spots?

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:14.949
<v S2>Oh, sorry. In the age.

0:09:14.950 --> 0:09:17.469
<v S3>Oh, it would be like, oh, a man, you know,

0:09:17.470 --> 0:09:20.470
<v S3>left his entire fortune to his donkey. And now it's

0:09:20.470 --> 0:09:24.310
<v S3>the richest animal in America. Or, you know, $71 million. Yeah,

0:09:24.309 --> 0:09:25.960
<v S3>it was on the front page. Last of the age.

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.150
<v S3>We saw Sydney Morning Herald equivalent. It's a true.

0:09:28.150 --> 0:09:28.720
<v S4>Story.

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.000
<v S3>It was just it was a it was an odd

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:36.699
<v S3>spot of news. Yeah. And then then you would hear,

0:09:36.700 --> 0:09:38.950
<v S3>if you're lucky enough to tune into senior FM, you'd

0:09:38.950 --> 0:09:42.520
<v S3>hear out 221 year olds, then teeing up three minutes

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.980
<v S3>of witty observations about what that donkey might do with

0:09:44.980 --> 0:09:48.460
<v S3>the money. Yeah, if other animals were jealous of the money. Yep.

0:09:49.870 --> 0:09:52.090
<v S3>List goes on. Anyway, this goes on of the comedy

0:09:52.090 --> 0:09:53.439
<v S3>that would open up from there.

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:58.270
<v S2>I'm. I was pressing the buttons for us and all

0:09:58.270 --> 0:09:59.890
<v S2>songs were played off CD.

0:10:00.700 --> 0:10:02.200
<v S3>And they were our own music too.

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:02.830
<v S2>And our own music.

0:10:02.830 --> 0:10:05.829
<v S3>I remember you played Air the French, the front of

0:10:05.830 --> 0:10:11.920
<v S3>the French soft lounge electronic act air every show. You

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.559
<v S3>loved it and I loved it. I loved You got

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:19.809
<v S3>me into air. But it's it's like absolutely the music

0:10:19.809 --> 0:10:21.310
<v S3>that you put on it to in the morning to

0:10:21.309 --> 0:10:22.300
<v S3>wind things down.

0:10:23.980 --> 0:10:27.069
<v S2>And the other thing am is between you, me and Ryan.

0:10:27.220 --> 0:10:27.939
<v S3>What a mix.

0:10:27.940 --> 0:10:28.770
<v S2>We would have spot.

0:10:28.870 --> 0:10:29.770
<v S3>Comedy in here.

0:10:30.940 --> 0:10:35.470
<v S2>We would have such different music tastes that if you

0:10:35.470 --> 0:10:37.990
<v S2>were tuning in to try and get some kind of

0:10:37.990 --> 0:10:41.590
<v S2>level of entertainment, it was bouncing so far around, and

0:10:41.590 --> 0:10:43.090
<v S2>then you get a knock on the door from the

0:10:43.090 --> 0:10:46.719
<v S2>station manager there, Matt, saying, hey, we have to support

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:47.559
<v S2>one band.

0:10:48.070 --> 0:10:51.460
<v S3>The Aussie music as well. Oh no, University music and music.

0:10:51.460 --> 0:10:55.010
<v S2>You'd end up playing something really out there. But we

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.670
<v S2>we would try and do a lot of Aussie music.

0:10:57.670 --> 0:11:00.339
<v S2>John Butler definitely got a hell of a run. I know.

0:11:00.340 --> 0:11:04.329
<v S3>And I actually remember thinking this is like the the

0:11:04.330 --> 0:11:07.150
<v S3>arrogance of like being 21 or whatever in the studio.

0:11:07.150 --> 0:11:10.360
<v S3>You think you're helping him? Yeah, yeah. Like if we

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.250
<v S3>bump into John Butler, I'd be like, yeah mate, we've

0:11:12.250 --> 0:11:16.120
<v S3>been spinning your music. We've been just just letting you know, mate.

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.860
<v S3>Fighting the good fight, getting the word out. If you

0:11:17.860 --> 0:11:21.489
<v S3>notice a few more people at Byron like going to

0:11:21.490 --> 0:11:22.000
<v S3>your gigs.

0:11:22.750 --> 0:11:26.590
<v S2>So I said to marshy, marshy. There's no round sheets

0:11:26.590 --> 0:11:28.480
<v S2>for this. Of course not. We didn't have producers in

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.490
<v S2>our run sheet. So marshy is the guy that puts

0:11:30.490 --> 0:11:34.270
<v S2>these beats together for us. I said, pick out what

0:11:34.270 --> 0:11:36.970
<v S2>you want, pick out two bits. He said, well, there

0:11:36.970 --> 0:11:39.459
<v S2>was three bits. He goes, there was kind of a

0:11:39.460 --> 0:11:41.920
<v S2>story from Hamish. There's a story from you, Andy, and

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:43.569
<v S2>there's one from whipper, but I don't think the one

0:11:43.570 --> 0:11:45.940
<v S2>from whipper is worth listening to, because he didn't really

0:11:45.940 --> 0:11:48.910
<v S2>put any effort into it, and there's no real direction

0:11:48.910 --> 0:11:49.660
<v S2>that was going.

0:11:50.290 --> 0:11:53.679
<v S3>Can we hear that one, please?

0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.920
<v S2>I know you'd want to hear that. And I said,

0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.980
<v S2>now let's just leave the whipper one.

0:11:59.980 --> 0:12:02.109
<v S3>I reckon this was almost one of the first day

0:12:02.110 --> 0:12:04.179
<v S3>I met whipper, because you were like, I know this guy.

0:12:04.179 --> 0:12:07.270
<v S3>And because we met by the Yarra. But like, we'd

0:12:07.270 --> 0:12:10.280
<v S3>park at a secret park near the. There's. It sheds

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.160
<v S3>along there that like private schools, use for rowing. And

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.920
<v S3>there was a few unregulated parks and that was kind

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.750
<v S3>of the best free parking in the city. So I

0:12:17.750 --> 0:12:19.490
<v S3>remember we met down on the Yarra and he had

0:12:19.490 --> 0:12:21.560
<v S3>a toolbox with him. This is my mate. I was like,

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.059
<v S3>what are you. What do you do? And he was like,

0:12:23.059 --> 0:12:27.079
<v S3>he introduced himself as a handyman. Yeah.

0:12:27.380 --> 0:12:29.420
<v S2>Yeah. So what we're going to hear is I said,

0:12:29.420 --> 0:12:32.150
<v S2>I want the start of a show. Okay, so we're

0:12:32.150 --> 0:12:34.670
<v S2>about to hear the start of a show.

0:12:34.670 --> 0:12:35.360
<v S3>Yeah, well, you go.

0:12:35.570 --> 0:12:37.970
<v S2>Somewhere, and then I said, and then pick out another one.

0:12:37.970 --> 0:12:40.640
<v S2>But let's let's this the start of what I think

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.520
<v S2>we called cruise control, which was the name of the show. No,

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.680
<v S2>we'd been going with the cage theory. Get a good,

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:46.400
<v S2>strong brand.

0:12:46.950 --> 0:12:48.650
<v S3>To ourselves, though we should have been the ones calling

0:12:48.650 --> 0:12:50.870
<v S3>ourselves Hamish Andy to get the name out there. We've

0:12:50.870 --> 0:12:54.710
<v S3>we've sided with management, build up, cruise control, cruise control,

0:12:54.830 --> 0:12:56.870
<v S3>cruise control, cruise control. Tell you what, when the when

0:12:56.870 --> 0:12:59.599
<v S3>you kicked into French banned air. Yeah. Boy, did we

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.370
<v S3>cruise at 12 k's an hour.

0:13:03.950 --> 0:13:06.860
<v S2>Here we go. No date.

0:13:06.860 --> 0:13:09.410
<v S6>Year 2002.

0:13:12.340 --> 0:13:17.839
<v S3>Come on. Oh my God. Two.

0:13:20.809 --> 0:13:24.290
<v S2>Yes. In a very good afternoon. You're on cruise control 90.7.

0:13:24.860 --> 0:13:28.250
<v S2>I'm here with Michael Whipple. Whipper. Hello, Randy. Very, very well.

0:13:28.250 --> 0:13:31.250
<v S2>And yourself? Ryan. Sheldon. Yes, I'm good too. And boy,

0:13:31.250 --> 0:13:33.870
<v S2>do we have an average show for you today. Go

0:13:33.950 --> 0:13:36.710
<v S2>above average for today. Yes. I'm subpar, though. I feel

0:13:36.710 --> 0:13:39.470
<v S2>up to it. We're going to go live to. We're

0:13:39.470 --> 0:13:41.540
<v S2>tweaking right now, but he's in the exam, so we're

0:13:41.540 --> 0:13:43.400
<v S2>going to cancel that. We've got a brand new segment

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.949
<v S2>for you to catch up with all the World Cup fever. Yeah.

0:13:46.490 --> 0:13:48.170
<v S2>And amongst other things, all that in the next hour

0:13:48.170 --> 0:13:50.870
<v S2>on cruise control. Looking got the best reading show in

0:13:50.870 --> 0:13:53.960
<v S2>Melbourne largely due to statistical errors. But the second magic

0:13:54.950 --> 0:13:59.000
<v S2>welcome to Hamish Blake just entered. Oh here he is

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:00.949
<v S2>from his exam. Ladies and gents out there.

0:14:00.950 --> 0:14:05.480
<v S4>Hey welcome everyone. I'd just like to know I started

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.880
<v S4>that applause. Pretty good bloke. So he took it up

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.400
<v S4>quite quickly there. Yeah, I've just come from an exam,

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.440
<v S4>as I'm sure everybody knows and all wishing me the

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:16.040
<v S4>best job. Everyone knows appreciate the wishes and. But they

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.020
<v S4>might have fallen on deaf ears because I think I

0:14:18.020 --> 0:14:21.280
<v S4>performed quite badly in this exam. Um, needless to say,

0:14:21.290 --> 0:14:23.150
<v S4>had to ring in a few of the old tricks,

0:14:23.150 --> 0:14:28.340
<v S4>such as writing after pens down and elaborate cheating cheering these.

0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:29.240
<v S7>Along with that.

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.480
<v S4>These are the thing though I rely. Andy and I

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.330
<v S4>have a very similar study pattern. Whereas we attend, we

0:14:35.330 --> 0:14:39.229
<v S4>selectively attend. It's selective attendance. Yes. Or some people call

0:14:39.230 --> 0:14:43.250
<v S4>it null attendance. Yeah, but then I really rely on

0:14:43.250 --> 0:14:46.280
<v S4>the more I procrastinate and procrastinate. Procrastinate on the 15

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.920
<v S4>minutes in the car park, before the exam, during reading

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:50.810
<v S4>time to learn my stuff.

0:14:50.810 --> 0:14:53.800
<v S2>Yes, you skipped reading time. Reading time. Wasting time.

0:14:53.810 --> 0:14:55.820
<v S4>I think I'm not an idiot. I can't just go

0:14:55.820 --> 0:14:57.920
<v S4>into a digital systems exam like this morning and do

0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.300
<v S4>it off the top of my head. I need to

0:14:59.300 --> 0:15:03.260
<v S4>15 minutes of learning to reproduce that semester's work.

0:15:03.260 --> 0:15:05.570
<v S7>You can't push it the last minute. It's crazy. Okay, so.

0:15:05.570 --> 0:15:08.330
<v S4>Here's here's a deal. I'm in my car. The pony,

0:15:08.540 --> 0:15:11.120
<v S4>as the gents in the booth know and has probably

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.040
<v S4>not many of the listeners know I have a car.

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.680
<v S4>What do you do now? I'm on my way to

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.770
<v S4>the exam and the pony decided to, well, play up

0:15:18.770 --> 0:15:22.640
<v S4>a little bit. I break down. Yeah, just really getting

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.640
<v S4>in the exam spirit. Hey, Hamish. Yeah. Big morning. Huh?

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:27.680
<v S4>Like we just let's just mix it up a bit

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:32.030
<v S4>and I'll break down. And what happened is my Hamish car.

0:15:32.150 --> 0:15:33.770
<v S2>Is similar to Herbie. It talks to him.

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:35.780
<v S4>Yeah, it does actually. It's got a look computer that

0:15:35.780 --> 0:15:38.420
<v S4>says okay, which is a big lie because it's never okay.

0:15:38.420 --> 0:15:42.950
<v S4>It's always breaking down. The car decided it overheats a

0:15:42.950 --> 0:15:44.330
<v S4>fair bit, and that's all I can deal with that.

0:15:44.330 --> 0:15:46.520
<v S4>If it wants to run hot, then let it run hot. Yeah,

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:50.450
<v S4>but it did. I had overheated the brakes, and they

0:15:50.450 --> 0:15:52.730
<v S4>swelled up to such a point that when you press

0:15:52.730 --> 0:15:54.680
<v S4>on the brakes, normally they go onto the wheel. Then

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.060
<v S4>you take your foot off and they come back off

0:15:56.060 --> 0:15:58.400
<v S4>the wheel. I get it, yeah. Spring loaded. Well, I'm

0:15:58.400 --> 0:15:59.720
<v S4>doing a lot of hand actions, but I think it

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.760
<v S4>really gets to the idea they don't like that come

0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:02.930
<v S4>across on radio that way. I'll say.

0:16:02.930 --> 0:16:03.610
<v S7>The swelling. Yeah.

0:16:03.660 --> 0:16:07.490
<v S4>The diagram you bought into the you project the. But

0:16:07.490 --> 0:16:10.010
<v S4>today they overheated so much that they just swelled up

0:16:10.010 --> 0:16:11.600
<v S4>and pressed against the brakes. So when you took your

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.790
<v S4>foot off the brakes, the car's still stopped. The car

0:16:13.790 --> 0:16:14.930
<v S4>is not going to go anywhere.

0:16:14.930 --> 0:16:19.970
<v S2>So you go with rice rest, ice compression, compression elevation. Yeah.

0:16:20.030 --> 0:16:23.270
<v S4>Enhancement of breaking down the. And so I just had

0:16:23.270 --> 0:16:25.400
<v S4>to set the car to turn it off and let

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.740
<v S4>her have a bit of a cool, like just cooling

0:16:27.740 --> 0:16:29.750
<v S4>upon a windowsill. I was having fun. It didn't have

0:16:29.750 --> 0:16:32.240
<v S4>to be anywhere except my exam, which was worth 80%

0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.700
<v S4>of my mark. So I was just kicking back. It

0:16:34.700 --> 0:16:37.310
<v S4>was a one line kind of thing, kind of rides

0:16:37.310 --> 0:16:39.440
<v S4>everyone behind me. Hey, Hamish, how are you going? Oh,

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.660
<v S4>sorry about your car. Although I could read it in

0:16:41.660 --> 0:16:45.020
<v S4>their eyes. Their mouth was saying a lot of expletives.

0:16:45.020 --> 0:16:47.660
<v S4>And why did you break down here and just head down?

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.870
<v S4>I didn't mean it. It would have broken down at

0:16:50.870 --> 0:16:53.330
<v S4>home if I could have. Or in a petrol station

0:16:53.330 --> 0:16:55.610
<v S4>or never. So at the end of the story, at

0:16:55.610 --> 0:16:57.230
<v S4>the end of the line, the car got better. It

0:16:57.260 --> 0:16:59.720
<v S4>brakes cooled down enough for me to limp to the exam.

0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:02.630
<v S7>The pie was cool, was cool.

0:17:02.630 --> 0:17:04.909
<v S4>People were questioning that. What's that by doing? I don't

0:17:04.910 --> 0:17:08.990
<v S4>know the but I've had to take. Now my car

0:17:08.990 --> 0:17:10.970
<v S4>has a few things that it's just not able to

0:17:10.970 --> 0:17:12.859
<v S4>do that other cars can it kind of go over

0:17:12.859 --> 0:17:15.830
<v S4>a hundred and I know. Yeah. On the bad, on

0:17:15.830 --> 0:17:19.160
<v S4>the bad day it won't activate which is other cars can.

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.410
<v S4>I've had to really I'm starting to notice I'm taking

0:17:21.410 --> 0:17:23.030
<v S4>a lot of things out of its repertoire now. It

0:17:23.030 --> 0:17:25.010
<v S4>kind of driving traffic because it stops art, makes its

0:17:25.010 --> 0:17:28.310
<v S4>brakes overheat. It can't stop. It's getting to the point

0:17:28.310 --> 0:17:31.640
<v S4>where if I'm standing on a long, flat piece of

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.700
<v S4>gently downward sloping road and you're at the other end,

0:17:34.700 --> 0:17:37.010
<v S4>Andy and I want to get to you. And it's

0:17:37.010 --> 0:17:40.520
<v S4>about 18°C. It's just been serviced. There's a cool wind

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.040
<v S4>blowing and the gods are with me. I could probably

0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:44.960
<v S4>start the car and drive down to you. You mess

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.870
<v S4>with any of those factors, puts dampening curves in the road.

0:17:47.869 --> 0:17:50.630
<v S4>Start raising the heat a little bit. Introduce one other

0:17:50.630 --> 0:17:53.810
<v S4>car as traffic. Not a chance. We just let's just jog.

0:17:53.810 --> 0:17:56.990
<v S2>Incidentally, how much you selling an Audi prefer?

0:17:57.050 --> 0:18:01.879
<v S4>Not to mention the the brand name, mate, call 999925 3711.

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:05.630
<v S4>She's a great car. Runs perfectly. Yeah, she's topped cruise control.

0:18:08.580 --> 0:18:12.480
<v S3>I mean, it's your first time on radio. Yeah. You're

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.330
<v S3>having a go at telling a great story. It's a

0:18:14.330 --> 0:18:16.080
<v S3>great story. You're racing through it.

0:18:16.410 --> 0:18:19.109
<v S2>And I'm trying to be a supportive as possible. Yep.

0:18:19.500 --> 0:18:21.629
<v S3>But I didn't leave a lot of room for whipper,

0:18:21.630 --> 0:18:23.220
<v S3>did we? I mean, even here.

0:18:23.490 --> 0:18:24.770
<v S2>That line right.

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:25.560
<v S7>There as.

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.690
<v S3>Well, right? He doesn't even get a microphone.

0:18:28.859 --> 0:18:32.700
<v S2>Maybe we'll rotating people. I don't know, guys. Okay.

0:18:32.700 --> 0:18:34.620
<v S3>We have a sub cage. We had a pen that

0:18:34.619 --> 0:18:38.010
<v S3>you'd sit in. It's funny, isn't it? Because I can

0:18:38.010 --> 0:18:41.730
<v S3>hear I mean it's funny. I've often you think back

0:18:41.730 --> 0:18:43.500
<v S3>to those early days and I don't really have an

0:18:43.500 --> 0:18:46.260
<v S3>answer when people go, well, you you guys started as like,

0:18:46.260 --> 0:18:49.650
<v S3>it wasn't Hamish and Andy always like, why did it happen?

0:18:50.070 --> 0:18:52.500
<v S3>And I can even hear it. They're like, I'm just

0:18:52.500 --> 0:18:54.389
<v S3>talking to you. I'm just talking back to you.

0:18:55.109 --> 0:18:56.370
<v S2>It was like, look.

0:18:56.670 --> 0:18:59.190
<v S3>Pretty rough for the other guys in the room. I

0:18:59.190 --> 0:18:59.969
<v S3>think we just.

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.160
<v S2>That was the thing I noticed the most is you

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.770
<v S2>and I are in sync. Talking with each other, finishing

0:19:04.770 --> 0:19:05.790
<v S2>each other's sentence.

0:19:05.940 --> 0:19:08.340
<v S3>What he was like on the batch. You know, I

0:19:08.340 --> 0:19:11.850
<v S3>referenced Sam Woods season of The Bachelor. You can tell

0:19:11.850 --> 0:19:13.620
<v S3>him in snares, we're in love from the moment they

0:19:13.619 --> 0:19:15.030
<v S3>said eyes on each other. And you had to go

0:19:15.030 --> 0:19:18.150
<v S3>through the whole season with him pretending. I think it's

0:19:18.150 --> 0:19:20.550
<v S3>a little bit Sam and says, well.

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:22.619
<v S2>We've heard one of your stories. It's only fair to

0:19:22.619 --> 0:19:25.920
<v S2>hear what I'm buying. That's marshy. Put it. So, Mike,

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.709
<v S2>you give a nod to the sponsors, will. Yeah.

0:19:28.710 --> 0:19:31.080
<v S3>If they're still willing to be associated with this quality

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:31.650
<v S3>of radio.

0:19:32.660 --> 0:19:33.439
<v S2>Thanks, Mike.

0:19:33.590 --> 0:19:35.570
<v S3>You're nervous, and we're about to hear your story.

0:19:35.780 --> 0:19:36.920
<v S2>It's going to be worse. All right.

0:19:37.100 --> 0:19:39.080
<v S3>If we were going back to coach this show now,

0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:43.700
<v S3>feel like. Okay, guys, we've we've now. Hi. We're Hamish and.

0:19:43.820 --> 0:19:46.220
<v S3>Don't worry about the time travel stuff, but we've been,

0:19:46.220 --> 0:19:48.470
<v S3>you know, we've had. We've been in the industry for

0:19:48.470 --> 0:19:51.830
<v S3>a while. I think I mean, as people that are

0:19:51.830 --> 0:19:53.300
<v S3>doing their very first show because you've got to start

0:19:53.300 --> 0:19:55.850
<v S3>somewhere you can't you don't want to create a culture

0:19:55.850 --> 0:19:58.040
<v S3>of like, don't have a go know. And, you know,

0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:01.700
<v S3>we're like, we're so young. I think we're like 21 here.

0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:04.730
<v S3>So I think you'd go so young to how I

0:20:04.730 --> 0:20:07.610
<v S3>feel now, but you'd I think you go like, guys,

0:20:07.609 --> 0:20:11.119
<v S3>story selection. Great. You know, talk about something that is

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:15.020
<v S3>relevant to you. Probably rushing. You're rushing quite a bit,

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.210
<v S3>but I don't think you're confident in any of your points.

0:20:17.210 --> 0:20:19.430
<v S3>And you know what? I definitely wouldn't have written any down.

0:20:19.430 --> 0:20:21.409
<v S3>I would have gone. I know the gist of it.

0:20:21.410 --> 0:20:22.760
<v S3>I only know that because then I did that for

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:24.649
<v S3>the rest of my career. Yes, like I know the

0:20:24.650 --> 0:20:28.980
<v S3>gist of this story and I'll it'll reveal itself as

0:20:29.090 --> 0:20:30.230
<v S3>as I tell it, but.

0:20:30.410 --> 0:20:34.490
<v S2>The nervous I can just even the red light going

0:20:34.490 --> 0:20:37.700
<v S2>red and just being on air. I was just so

0:20:37.700 --> 0:20:40.580
<v S2>nervous every time it started when it started, because it's

0:20:40.580 --> 0:20:43.040
<v S2>like we are broadcasting, we're putting ourselves out there for

0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:45.260
<v S2>this and you can't. It took ages to get to

0:20:45.260 --> 0:20:48.200
<v S2>the point where I don't really care. Oh, and you.

0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:51.410
<v S3>Also are so used to in real life and doing

0:20:51.410 --> 0:20:52.790
<v S3>stand up, which I was doing at the time, to

0:20:52.820 --> 0:20:55.370
<v S3>do go like if you get a laugh. That's funny. Yeah.

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:59.240
<v S3>If you don't, you've missed something. Yeah. And that's not

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:01.190
<v S3>how it happens on radio. You obviously aren't getting laughs

0:21:01.190 --> 0:21:03.109
<v S3>the whole time. You have to kind of learn to go.

0:21:04.130 --> 0:21:07.490
<v S3>I'm confident in what I'm saying. Yes is connecting. Like

0:21:07.490 --> 0:21:10.490
<v S3>you don't have to just keep rushing until you get

0:21:10.490 --> 0:21:13.820
<v S3>like people falling off their chairs laughing. Yeah. So that's

0:21:13.970 --> 0:21:16.250
<v S3>and that's the thing. But that's why you say that's

0:21:16.250 --> 0:21:18.170
<v S3>like a whole new world. Yeah. It would have been.

0:21:18.170 --> 0:21:20.330
<v S3>This would have been. Yeah. That's early, early days. Early

0:21:20.330 --> 0:21:23.300
<v S3>early days. I remember that funnily enough, I, I remember

0:21:23.300 --> 0:21:25.609
<v S3>that digital systems and microprocessors exam.

0:21:25.609 --> 0:21:28.100
<v S2>Well, the car also is a big part of our lives.

0:21:28.100 --> 0:21:28.850
<v S2>Huge part of our lives.

0:21:28.850 --> 0:21:30.350
<v S3>We then yeah, we did a road trip, made a

0:21:30.350 --> 0:21:31.580
<v S3>comedy show about it. You and I.

0:21:31.580 --> 0:21:33.560
<v S2>Did comedy festival show off the back of that.

0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:36.050
<v S3>And it kind of was like the template for every

0:21:36.050 --> 0:21:39.650
<v S3>travel show we ever did then afterwards. But the I fail,

0:21:39.650 --> 0:21:42.680
<v S3>I failed digital systems of microprocessors. I've got a 46.

0:21:42.890 --> 0:21:48.260
<v S3>Oh yeah. Yeah. Because I remember I went to argue.

0:21:48.260 --> 0:21:50.240
<v S3>I'd heard that if you get close enough to, you

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:50.600
<v S3>can argue.

0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:51.440
<v S2>Yeah, we got told that.

0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:54.290
<v S3>I tried to argue and that was where I learnt that. Gee,

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:58.040
<v S3>you need a good argument. Yeah. Because my argument was

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.250
<v S3>I would have liked my argument was you'd have to agree.

0:22:01.250 --> 0:22:03.860
<v S3>I'm pretty close. And they're like, yeah, but that's why

0:22:03.859 --> 0:22:06.800
<v S3>we have the rule of 50. We draw a line there. Yeah.

0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:10.490
<v S3>All right. I just heard that if you were, if

0:22:10.490 --> 0:22:11.629
<v S3>you really wanted it.

0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:14.390
<v S2>Let's have a listen back to what I was up

0:22:14.390 --> 0:22:19.190
<v S2>to him. One thing Marshall pointed out about this is

0:22:19.190 --> 0:22:22.340
<v S2>that apparently there was a renovation going on in the

0:22:22.340 --> 0:22:26.390
<v S2>studio next door, or like a shop next door at

0:22:26.390 --> 0:22:29.090
<v S2>the university. I don't remember this, but he said it's

0:22:29.330 --> 0:22:30.530
<v S2>quite obvious that.

0:22:30.530 --> 0:22:33.889
<v S3>There's building going construction. Remember then what the whole uni

0:22:33.890 --> 0:22:36.320
<v S3>was being rebuilt, remember? And you'd walk out and you'd

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:39.590
<v S3>be in scaffolding, right. And because I remember that because

0:22:39.590 --> 0:22:42.980
<v S3>remember I used, they used often had a sausage sizzle. Yes.

0:22:42.980 --> 0:22:45.619
<v S3>And there was like a quadrangle outside of this part

0:22:45.619 --> 0:22:48.140
<v S3>of the university. And, and the day we did our

0:22:48.140 --> 0:22:50.330
<v S3>show was always the day they had the sausages along.

0:22:50.330 --> 0:22:53.210
<v S3>And I loved getting a sausage after the show. And

0:22:53.210 --> 0:22:55.400
<v S3>then they were close for months while they were renovating.

0:22:55.400 --> 0:23:00.020
<v S3>I still remember the disappointment that these renovations shut the quadrangle,

0:23:00.020 --> 0:23:02.270
<v S3>therefore no sausage and bread for home.

0:23:02.420 --> 0:23:04.640
<v S2>Well, what it seems like is they were down tools

0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:07.070
<v S2>looking for their own sausages. The workers, when you told

0:23:07.070 --> 0:23:10.159
<v S2>your story about the car and Marty says that I

0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:12.379
<v S2>think they're back working construction. You might be able to

0:23:12.380 --> 0:23:13.430
<v S2>hear some construction.

0:23:13.430 --> 0:23:16.970
<v S3>Just awesome. Awesome. Good on anyone that ever listened to

0:23:16.970 --> 0:23:20.060
<v S3>this show. Anyone ever did. Yeah, like if someone's out

0:23:20.060 --> 0:23:23.960
<v S3>there that listened for more than a minute, considering the

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:26.119
<v S3>options you had of how to spend a minute of

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:30.080
<v S3>your life. Thank you. Yeah, if you did, there's no

0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:32.180
<v S3>evidence anyone ever did. But if you did, that just

0:23:32.180 --> 0:23:32.990
<v S3>blows my mind.

0:23:32.990 --> 0:23:33.560
<v S2>Here we go.

0:23:34.580 --> 0:23:38.270
<v S6>No date year 2002.

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:42.350
<v S8>Welcome back. You're from Cruise Control 90.7.

0:23:42.650 --> 0:23:46.459
<v S2>That was, uh, la the wise guys there. And before that,

0:23:46.460 --> 0:23:48.950
<v S2>we had Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson. Now we've got

0:23:48.950 --> 0:23:51.080
<v S2>Andy Lee talking about work related incidents.

0:23:51.230 --> 0:23:53.150
<v S4>And the third person we'll just sit back.

0:23:53.900 --> 0:23:56.750
<v S2>Might be gentlemen you are familiar with my work. But

0:23:56.750 --> 0:23:58.669
<v S2>next door there's a Thai restaurant and we're trying to

0:23:58.670 --> 0:24:03.580
<v S2>establish a relationship with this, this guy whose name is Dez. Um,

0:24:03.710 --> 0:24:06.590
<v S2>so we can get the discount, obviously. So Wednesday, it's

0:24:06.590 --> 0:24:07.850
<v S2>green curry. Wednesday.

0:24:07.850 --> 0:24:09.979
<v S4>Can I just say something? Certainly, man. I think I'd

0:24:09.980 --> 0:24:12.500
<v S4>like to go and establish a relationship with the carpenters

0:24:12.500 --> 0:24:15.830
<v S4>next door. I don't care what the relationship is, just

0:24:15.830 --> 0:24:17.990
<v S4>as long as I end up with the hammer afterwards.

0:24:18.109 --> 0:24:19.970
<v S4>Not gonna hit him. I just think it would be

0:24:19.970 --> 0:24:21.739
<v S4>good for the radio show if they weren't banging on

0:24:21.740 --> 0:24:23.480
<v S4>the wall. Just want to contribute. Yeah.

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:25.669
<v S2>Well, on Wednesdays down at.

0:24:25.670 --> 0:24:26.930
<v S4>Mine, keeping the bait. Yeah.

0:24:27.830 --> 0:24:31.280
<v S2>My work. We have green curry Wednesdays. All right. Whereby

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:35.130
<v S2>we order. A grain carry on a Wednesday. So very.

0:24:35.170 --> 0:24:36.220
<v S4>Yeah. No that's like that.

0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:38.189
<v S2>Yeah that's good but and so I'm in there. I

0:24:38.190 --> 0:24:40.110
<v S2>got called up by my work by Paul to go

0:24:40.109 --> 0:24:43.230
<v S2>in and establish the relationship. A bit of gags going down.

0:24:43.230 --> 0:24:45.450
<v S2>I've gone in and I've gone, yeah. Liz how are

0:24:45.450 --> 0:24:48.810
<v S2>you doing green curry Wednesdays Liz a yeah. You know

0:24:48.930 --> 0:24:49.470
<v S2>going back.

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:50.399
<v S4>And.

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:52.320
<v S2>I've gone the green Caribbean thing real.

0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:54.600
<v S4>Bad nickname.

0:24:55.050 --> 0:24:57.270
<v S2>I go pull the green car is looking really good.

0:24:57.270 --> 0:25:00.479
<v S2>I think I really headed off with Liz and he said, sorry,

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:05.520
<v S2>come again. And I said, Liz. And he went, It's Des.

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:09.540
<v S2>And I thought, oh no good down days deep a

0:25:09.540 --> 0:25:13.770
<v S2>discount L for Liz, L for losing the discount I think,

0:25:13.890 --> 0:25:16.320
<v S2>which was a real problem for me. And I thought,

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:17.909
<v S2>I've ruined it forever. And I thought, I've got to

0:25:17.910 --> 0:25:20.610
<v S2>establish this. I've got establish this relationship back. Yeah. I

0:25:20.609 --> 0:25:22.590
<v S2>can't let this slide. I've got to go back back

0:25:22.590 --> 0:25:24.270
<v S2>in and work it out. So I got out the

0:25:24.420 --> 0:25:27.209
<v S2>my work letterhead and wrote a letter for him. And

0:25:27.210 --> 0:25:30.530
<v S2>here's how it went, guys. Okay. Uh. Dig it. There

0:25:30.540 --> 0:25:33.900
<v S2>it goes. Um, where's that paper? Dear des, I'd like

0:25:33.900 --> 0:25:37.650
<v S2>to apologize for my speech impediment. Sometimes I get DS

0:25:37.650 --> 0:25:41.010
<v S2>mixed up with L's. Let me give you an example. Hi, Liz.

0:25:41.010 --> 0:25:45.300
<v S2>How's it going? Quote Andy Lee 12th of June 2002. Nice.

0:25:45.300 --> 0:25:47.820
<v S2>I'm sure you can see past this picture. I'd like

0:25:47.820 --> 0:25:51.180
<v S2>you not to tell people because it's close to my heart. Dave. Andy. Oh,

0:25:51.180 --> 0:25:52.109
<v S2>there I go again.

0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:54.270
<v S4>Seems to be a writing impediment.

0:25:55.170 --> 0:25:58.470
<v S2>So yeah, no. Won't work back from Liz so far.

0:25:58.470 --> 0:26:01.710
<v S4>Well, we will stay tuned. Wednesday is only two days away. Yeah,

0:26:01.710 --> 0:26:03.359
<v S4>and I've just come from an exam, so I'm in

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:04.410
<v S4>maths mode. Yeah.

0:26:05.670 --> 0:26:08.850
<v S2>You're listening. Calling 9925 3711. And we can have a

0:26:08.850 --> 0:26:10.530
<v S2>talk about it, mate, I'd like to patch things up.

0:26:10.530 --> 0:26:13.109
<v S2>Anyone can call. Really? Yeah. Similar to callers who people

0:26:13.109 --> 0:26:18.540
<v S2>look like sporting equipment. 9927 3711 that's right. No it's not. No, no.

0:26:18.540 --> 0:26:19.169
<v S4>It doesn't matter.

0:26:19.170 --> 0:26:19.950
<v S2>No, 9 to 5.

0:26:19.950 --> 0:26:21.990
<v S4>It'll just throw all those callers off because we get

0:26:21.990 --> 0:26:26.340
<v S4>a lot for the real callers. 9925 30 711 are perfect.

0:26:26.340 --> 0:26:29.359
<v S2>Thank you very much. Time is Shaun cruise control. Oh.

0:26:31.650 --> 0:26:31.980
<v S3>What.

0:26:35.609 --> 0:26:37.500
<v UU>What a lot to unpack this.

0:26:37.500 --> 0:26:42.179
<v S3>Summer of flurries. First of all just barreling through the

0:26:42.180 --> 0:26:45.720
<v S3>story which is great. We're really good. Good story I

0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:51.110
<v S3>mean forming an alliance with with leaseholders. Yeah. Just the banging.

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:55.200
<v S3>So funny that we reference it once ago, but I

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:57.210
<v S3>think it's because it's like we were only allowed in

0:26:57.210 --> 0:27:00.600
<v S3>once every two weeks, like, yeah, this was our time

0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:02.030
<v S3>to do radio. We weren't going.

0:27:02.100 --> 0:27:04.530
<v S2>And you're only allowed six week lots. That's right.

0:27:04.619 --> 0:27:07.260
<v S3>So we had one a weekly show for six weeks

0:27:07.350 --> 0:27:09.480
<v S3>and then you wouldn't get one for the next year.

0:27:09.480 --> 0:27:10.410
<v S2>I think it was the next.

0:27:10.410 --> 0:27:12.480
<v S3>6 or 12 weeks. It was a long wait. So

0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:14.639
<v S3>it was like, we don't get many chances and I

0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:16.410
<v S3>think we have to play 2 or 3 songs in

0:27:16.410 --> 0:27:19.350
<v S3>a row or two. So if there's a carpenter, if

0:27:19.350 --> 0:27:22.859
<v S3>there's someone's building a house next door, we must keep going. Yes.

0:27:22.859 --> 0:27:25.260
<v S3>And good on you, because you're like, I'm going to

0:27:25.260 --> 0:27:26.969
<v S3>get the flying out, I am. I don't care if

0:27:26.970 --> 0:27:29.160
<v S3>I'm flying in a storm. I'm getting the hours in.

0:27:29.160 --> 0:27:30.630
<v S2>I've written a funny letter that I.

0:27:30.630 --> 0:27:31.530
<v S3>Need to read out.

0:27:31.650 --> 0:27:33.930
<v S2>I don't care how much banging is going on.

0:27:34.380 --> 0:27:37.080
<v S3>And then right at the end, I don't think that

0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:39.330
<v S3>was a joke. Where we went, if you look like

0:27:39.330 --> 0:27:39.960
<v S3>sporting equipment.

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:40.260
<v S2>Yeah.

0:27:40.260 --> 0:27:44.190
<v S3>The phone topic of do you look like. I mean,

0:27:44.190 --> 0:27:48.090
<v S3>considering we never got any calls anyway, I don't think

0:27:48.090 --> 0:27:50.460
<v S3>we would have even tried that on a national radio

0:27:50.460 --> 0:27:53.219
<v S3>show where you have millions of people listening. I feel

0:27:53.220 --> 0:27:55.920
<v S3>like percentage wise, I don't think we get 2 or

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:58.950
<v S3>3 calls out of it. Certainly not getting it, certainly

0:27:58.950 --> 0:28:01.649
<v S3>not getting it on a on a community radio station.

0:28:01.650 --> 0:28:04.740
<v S3>It has a broadcasting range of about 30km outside the

0:28:04.740 --> 0:28:08.940
<v S3>Melbourne CBD. While everyone's turned off minutes ago, too, because

0:28:08.940 --> 0:28:10.320
<v S3>they're sick of the banging as.

0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:11.250
<v S2>An afterthought.

0:28:12.060 --> 0:28:18.360
<v S3>With with the wrong number twice. But it's really good.

0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:19.350
<v S3>Remember every.
