Speaker 4: Last year it raised a record breaking seventy one million dollars.

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 3: It has got to the point where I keep thinking.

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 2: I can't do it again.

24
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 3: It can't be done again.

25
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: And every year it goes up by some margin, you

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: know it's yeah, five or eight or nine million. Yeah,

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,039

00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: you've smashed it, and just get a little bit of

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: going past.

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah past five hundred million last year. Yeah, since ninety sixty.

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: That is an incredible number, isn't it when you think

34
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: of how long it took to early days to get

35
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand million in one one weekend.

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,320

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: congo line, yeah, thank you very much.

38
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and the tops come off and the hairs

39
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: get shaved.

40
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: Oh, different times shave the premier.

41
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 4: You know. It's it's amazing enough when you think about

42
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 4: figures like seventy one million dollars, but then when you

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 4: think five hundred million dollars, half a billion dollars raised

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 4: by our town, it.

45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: Sort of makes you for our kids. Yeah, yeah, it's

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: an incredible amount, particularly you know back in the days

47
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: when you know, two five million was a phenomenal amount

48
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: of money. Normal, it was a lot spectacular, a real

49
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: lot seventy one million. Obviously the game is on to

50
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: try to beat that again this year. Look, I think

51
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: there's a there's a quiet confidence and I hope that

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: you don't want to be first.

53
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,919

Speaker 4: Convention Center and you've done I like the arena.

159
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: It's got versatility to it, so you can have all

160
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: the different elements of Telethon, which because you go from

161
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: performing on stage to chatting on the couch to people

162
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: doing very silly things all in the name of charity,

163
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: in the name of telethon. You know. I think it's

164
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 2: just one of those weekends where you know, the rules

165
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: go out the window. But there's so many different elements

166
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: obviously that sort of all make up the craziness of Telethon.

167
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: And you could do it all at the arena, which

168
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: is great.

169
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: The first couple of times that both of us Cleary

170
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,880

175
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,440

176
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 4: from wherever they were walking from that day, so that

177
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,880
