23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,240

00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: If I don't like the national anthem.

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,800

Speaker 4: years at every Australia.

29
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,200

00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 6: touring cricket teams or the football teams trying.

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,080

Speaker 3: I don't know.

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 5: Well, let's not talk about the national anthem. I's talk

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 5: about horses because thirty years thirty years a lot of

36
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 5: people don't know a cover as well. Oh yeah, which

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 5: is just extraordinary as well.

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 4: And was it?

39
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 5: Was?

40
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,279
Speaker 4: It huge right from the get go, Darryl.

41
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 6: No, I was a little bit dubis as to whether

42
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 6: it would get you know, top ten or whatever. But

43
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 6: then it slowly went like, you know, twelve into ten.

44
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 6: And I remember we're up at on the Gold Coast

45
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 6: and had been for a surf or something came off

46
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 6: back and then they notified, oh, Darryl, the song's gone

47
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 6: number one. Okay, good, So now that was it?

48
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: Okay? GOODNK tonight.

49
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 4: Do you speak to Ricky le Jones?

50
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: Is it Ricky Lee Jones?

51
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 7: Do you speak to her? Does she know that this

52
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 7: song is just the biggest thing in Australia.

53
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 6: Well, I tried four years to contact her and then

54
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 6: finally we met up and talked about the song. I

55
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 6: told her it had been really accepted here, you know,

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,640

69
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,400

00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 5: out of a meeting room because Dale Breathwaite actually just

117
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 5: came in the studio before and yeah, it was cool.

118
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 4: It was cool.

119
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 5: I know you're a big fan of horses and whatnot.

120
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 5: I just wanted to call you because the record wrap

121
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 5: just said to me on the way out that we

122
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,240

125
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had plans canceled, but I.

126
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 5: The only other thing about the gig was that she

127
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 5: also said to me that he there's there's a well

128
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 5: not a chance, but I'm pretty sure he's not going

129
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 5: to be playing horses. He's I think it was thirty

130
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 5: years today, anniversary of horses, and I think he's just

131
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 5: I think he might have just had enough.

132
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: What do you mean?

133
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 6: Well?

134
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: What why?

135
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 5: No?

136
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 6: Surely surely not?

137
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I think that's it, he said. I think

138
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 5: he just said thirty years, thirtieth anniversary. You know, it's

139
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 5: like forty million streams something. I think he just had enough, mate.

140
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 5: So you know, we'll see all the other great gear,

141
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 5: like he's going to play some Sherbet stuff and he's

142
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,400

Speaker 6: I know it. I told the boys that I couldn't

150
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,799

00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 5: The great news for everyone else, mate, is that you

157
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 5: are still going to be performing horses forever in a day.

158
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,640
