Speaker 2: Well, you know what.

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,479

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 3: they're headed Channel seven asked me for lunch and I thought,

10

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 3: we do to get you back on TV? I said, listen,

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: the only thing I'd ever be interested in is idol,

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 3: thinking that's.

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: So far in the past, okay.

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 3: And then he was like, well, I'm glad you brought

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: that up because that's what we're here to talk about.

17
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 3: Will you lead the judging panel? And I said, what

18
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: about the others, Marsha, Dicko, all these Mark all new people.

19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,280

20
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: know what, I'll give this a go. I did enjoy

21
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: doing it. You audition process I hate because it's long

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: hours and a lot of annoying. It it's singing and

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: then You've got to argue with people when you don't

24
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: want them. These kids, they argue back these days, not

25
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 3: that the old days.

26
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: Have you seen that? The progressive young people, they fight

27
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 2: for what they.

28
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 4: Want, said a few, A bit upset, very annoying, especially

29
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 4: what it's the only thing they want to do in

30
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 4: their lives is singing to the world.

31
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: Oh and you realize you and you're never going to

32
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: make it sense out of this. You are horrible about it.

33
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: So a current affair couldn't get you on the desk,

34
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: but Australian idol that was what you said yes to.

00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 3: I've known Meghan for a while since she brought out

39
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: that Somemember that the Big Butt song or whatever.

40
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: It was all about that beast. Yeah, I like that.

41
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 3: I met her then and I thought she's chick, a

42
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: nice cheek and I thought that'll be a one hit wonder.

43
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: I didn't realize she's got like twelve.

44
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: Million TikTok followers, huge on social media and the new

45
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: song I love Amy's Shark. I thought she was sixteen.

46
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: She's in her thirties. Yeah, and she was like, this

47
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: is what I said. You look like you're sixteen the

48
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: top not, I said, have you ever thought of changing

49
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: the hair up? But she's a great chick. I really

50
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: like Amy. She's lovely and Harry and I I thought,

51
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: because I've always loved Harry Connech and you who doesn't

52
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 3: love this bloke?

53
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: Well, he was no fan of mine. Really, no, I

54
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: think you don't tell.

55
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: I just feel that he was intolerant, like I think

56
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 3: that he thought. Oh, he's a bit nasty than I thought,

57
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: because I'll just laugh at people and say you're horrible,

58
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: and he'll be.

59
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 2: Like, whoa, you know, wow, whoa, whoa? Where I come

60
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: from down the bay? Yo? Another here we go.

61
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you wanted to be the soft guy. But he's

62
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: he's really good. I do respect Harry. He's got great advice.

63
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: And I think that the judging panel gives a little

64
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: bit of difference. So they're all artists and I'm the

65
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 3: serious end the deliverables.

66
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, here it is.

67
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: You got to be paid, you've got to get maney,

68
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: you've got to get your song on the radio. You

69
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: got this, get this stuff cranked. But the artists, they

70
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: just make it to them. Absolutely, you got to tell

71
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: them the truth. But there's some great talent and a

72
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: lot of different types of people stuff. People that have

73
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: an auditioned before that I reckon, have been always out there,

74
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: have decided I'm going to put my talents to the

75
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: test now, Okay, And that's great.

76
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 5: You have promise you keep it real.

77
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: You have to call the kids out who are bad

78
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: because mom and dad have told them they're wonderful.

79
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 5: Forever someone's going to tell them. It may as well

80
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 5: be you.

81
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: It's my pleasure to tell me. I love it. It's good. Now.

82
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: Listen, when you go to these auditions and I know

83
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: you're here in Perth, is there one song that you

84
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: hear more often than and it's like, oh God, here

85
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: we go again.

86
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: They're doing it.

87
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: I don't mean to offend anyone who loves their faith,

88
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: but when you come and you're singing the Eyes on

89
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: the Sparrow, some Jesus song from God that knows when

90
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: back in the day.

91
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: And he's ayes long and I'm like God.

92
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: For the four thousandth time, and it's not even a

93
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: great sing a song people might recognize. Yeah, you know,

94
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear some gospel rubbish. But some

95
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: people got through on that. Others were like ejected. But

96
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: there is some and this has always been the case

97
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: with Western Australia, amazing untapped talent. And I mean there's

98
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: a sixteen year old kid, a girl who's like about

99
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: six foot three and just incredible. Doesn't even know how

100
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: good she is. Just keep an eye on her. She's

101
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: one to watch out for, especially for Western Australians.

102
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 5: Okay.

103
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 4: And the other problem is when people try and tackle

104
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 4: I don't know, Celine Dion or they'll go Mariah, They'll

105
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 4: go Shandely.

106
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: Try to love that Shandely. Know there's an aboriginal guy.

107
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: I think he's a non binary Aboriginal fellow we met

108
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: I think somewhere either in Alice Springs or somewhere along

109
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 3: the line. Absolutely blows everyone away. Like that's what I love.

110
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: The colors, the different types of people, the different emotions,

111
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 3: the different just everything is just very different than it

112
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: used to be fifteen years ago.

113
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: The quality of the type of people, the variety of people.

114
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: It's a real eye up and it's a real reflection

115
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: of society rather than just young white chicks that sing,

116
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 3: you know, like this is this is the real colors

117
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 3: of benett Ona. I really enjoyed it.

118
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 5: By are you doing any of the old moves, any

119
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 5: touchdowns or anything Mark Holden style? And you've moved on?

120
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: I did ring Mark because i'd make because we bring

121
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: Marsha back for the top fifteen, which and she's a

122
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: glorious she has an age a bit. I don't know

123
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 3: what she does. And I told her, I said, oh,

124
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 3: did you hear Mark Holden died?

125
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: And she went, what now? Oh my god?

126
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: And I was lying. I was lying, you know, and

127
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: he's totally alive. He's a very brittle boned type of man,

128
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: but he's still alive. Anyway, and we ring Mark and.

129
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: She was like, oh my god, Kaylee just told me

130
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: you were dead. And he's like what what? What? What?

131
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: What you say?

132
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 5: Mark?

133
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: Kyle told me you were dead. No, he's alive. But

134
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: it was great to have her back. And I asked Mark,

135
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: I was like, how did you have that stupid touchdown?

136
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: And then I thought should I do something? And I thought,

137
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: Arts couldn't be bothered being such a dog like that.

138
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: It wants to be that dog.
