1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: This is jam Nation.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 2: We we know and love Miv Warhurst from her radio shows,

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: from Spicks and Specs, from Eurovision. Well, now, what a

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: giant hog. She's going to add author to her resume.

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 2: She's got a new memoir called Time of My Life

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: Meth Hello.

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 3: Hello, Amanda Jonesy. Lovely to see you.

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: We've both written autobiographies and it's hard, isn't it, working

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: out what you put in what you leave out In

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: the end, I just cherry picked things that made me

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: laugh or emotional bits and pieces because.

12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: It's hard focusing on yourself. How did you feel?

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 3: Oh?

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 4: Look, I've got to say, after writing this book, I'm

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 4: sick to death with myself and thinking about myself. But look,

16
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 4: it was lovely because I used music, which is what

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 4: most people know me for, as a way to kind

18
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 4: of access those memories. Because I think everybody has music

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 4: attached to a lot of memories, whether they be really

20
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 4: good ones or very sad ones. So I use that

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 4: as a device and it made it a hell of

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 4: a lot easier. Yeah, I have to say, because otherwise

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 4: it was just I felt like I was waiting in

24
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 4: a big pool and I didn't know kind of what

25
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 4: bits I needed to grab and so yeah, it was

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 4: a learning experience.

27
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: I can tell you how did you guys? Did you

28
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: survive it? When you did it?

29
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 5: It's just funny to say that for a song. I'll

30
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 5: hear any song and it takes me to a time

31
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 5: and place.

32
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 4: It's funny, isn't it Like as soon as you hear

33
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: it's like having a taste or a smell. I think

34
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 4: music attaches itself to you really kind of really strong

35
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 4: internal memories, and as soon as you hear it, you're

36
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 4: right back in that moment.

37
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, I've got loads of those, and I reckon

38
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 3: everybody does.

39
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: So Hopefully if people when they read the book, they'll

40
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 4: read it and enjoy it because it is all the

41
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 4: fun stuff but also, you know, a bit of the

42
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 4: tough stuff, but then also have their own memories and

43
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 4: have a think about some of their own.

44
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: You were a countdown tragic as many of us were.

45
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: Who have you met that you thought my countdown watching

46
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: self would not believe that I'm actually hanging out with

47
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: so and so.

48
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: Well, Funnily enough, the first chapter of the about me

49
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: very very little I was somehow I miraculously lifted myself

50
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: out of his nineteen seventies bean bag and kissed the television.

51
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: Remember when it was all it's about electricity.

52
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it was like mums, you know, get step away,

53
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: you're ruin your eyes.

54
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: And I remember I kissed the television and it was

55
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: Darryl Braith thinking and shure it.

56
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 4: So years later it's it's very funny like I did

57
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 4: a podcast and I talked about the appeal of the

58
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: song Horses and why no one knows why.

59
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: It's so successful. It's just got that bit of magic.

60
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: And again everyone can attach their own stories to it.

61
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: But anyway, he rang me up to thank me a

62
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 3: couple of months ago. Just get a myth. It's Terryl

63
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: Braiths and I'm like little me insides going, oh my god.

64
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: I kept it cool though he had no idea that.

65
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, did you still feel the

66
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 2: static electricity around him?

67
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: You better idea?

68
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: Yes, I Oh. I love that.

69
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: That's such a gift of the jobs we do is

70
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: that you're still so close to in a dag.

71
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: You remember how you felt when you first saw them.

72
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: One of the things I'm very envious of with your

73
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: life is getting to travel with Joel Creasy to your revision.

74
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: Do you watch people backstage ironing the pleats on their

75
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: national costumes? I mean, do you must get to see

76
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: all the hilarity that goes around it?

77
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 4: I do, I do, And I'm just going to say

78
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: apologies for the banging in the background. Yeah, a bathroom

79
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 4: renovation currently going on, so big abo.

80
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 5: Don't stop them, don't stop trading, do not stop once

81
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 5: they're going.

82
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 6: It's like a super tanker. You can't stop it.

83
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: But also you don't want to stop it. You'll never

84
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: get them back.

85
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: You just got a mess, exactly exactly.

86
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 4: But no, it's always hilarious at your Vision because Joel

87
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: and I are backstage because we everyone's lumped together and

88
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: you think that everyone would be real divers and putting

89
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 4: on a performance of how important they are, but they're not. Like,

90
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: it's actually really basic and budget backstage. So there's people

91
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 4: that you love who are huge stars, you know, killing

92
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: it on stage, and then you.

93
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 7: See them at the little bar buying a sandwich in

94
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 7: a plastic wrapper, you know, trying to count the European

95
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 7: coins in a different countries. It's a real level of

96
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 7: backstage at Eurovision is a real level.

97
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 5: How many Rupool's will it cost me for this, jelly.

98
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 5: Do you think were the last year? Because Ukraine won

99
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 5: it last year? Was that a bit of a sympathy vote?

100
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 5: You know?

101
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 6: I know, and deservedly so I will say, yeah.

102
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 4: Look, I think I think it was more a supportive

103
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 4: vote to show that the world and at least or

104
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 4: at least Europe and the voters of Eurovision, we're not

105
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 4: not at all call with what's happening. So I think

106
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: it was an inevitable vote to be honest and in

107
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 4: probably in the best possible way.

108
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 3: But it also means we're going to England.

109
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: Best option. The Ukraine wins, you get to go to

110
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: England and you must have gone who we did?

111
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 3: We did, but then we found out it's not London,

112
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: so you know where is it? We don't know yet.

113
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: It could be probably Manchester Leads, which will be great,

114
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: but it's it's Yeah, it won't be quite the same

115
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: as being in swinging London.

116
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: You find yourself in Middlesbrough and sucker.

117
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 6: Well, congratulations Smith. This is great. And does it come

118
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 6: with a warning do not kiss your television set?

119
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

120
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: It does, it does, because I mean, look how I

121
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 3: turned out.

122
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 5: And imagine imagine if Daryl disappeared, and all of a sudden,

123
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 5: you're kissing Molly Meldrum.

124
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: Oh, I know that would be confusing for everyone.

125
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: Timing was everything on that going?

126
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 6: How what's happening here?

127
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 7: Exactly?

128
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: Exactly, myp.

129
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 5: It's great to catch up with you again, myth Warhurst.
