00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: We would be seeing a Men at Work song to

00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,040

Speaker 4: their sensational mullets and their fans, with maybe four hundred

19
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 4: girls down the front of the stage, and they were

00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 2: Well, I don't play that song every day, so it's

26
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,479

29
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 3: biggest bands in Perth in the eighties.

30
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: It was hard, I'll tell you. You have to get

31
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: up about twelve o'clock during the day, go straight to

32
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 2: the beach, work on him suntan and then that's about

33
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: it really, I suppose until the weekend came around and

34
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: then off we went Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

35
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and those crowds made were they were just incredible.

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 4: I mean the Nook and Burrow with their Nook and

37
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 4: Busters and one of them.

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: The crowds at the Overflow absolutely big.

39
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, well there was back then. There was lots of big, big,

40
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: big venues. I had the morning we played at the

41
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: Florea Friday, the Overflow which was the Look and Borough

42
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: yes Saturday, and then the Rappeles on Sunday sessions. So

43
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: they were they were big dayes, that's for sure.

44
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: What was your favorite venue to play, Ash.

45
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: I think the Pinnacle was the Overflown. Everyone thought that

46
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: was the yeah, because it was so big that we

47
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: held the record. We had about two thy two hundred

48
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 2: and there and it was only licensed for about fifteen hundred.

49
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: And the cops did turn up one night and there

50
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: was cash going everywhere. I can tell you there was

51
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: all the doors are open, and it was it was

52
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: pretty big. Yeah.

53
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 4: I walked into one of those gigs one night and

54
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 4: I reckon there was six hundred girls down the front

55
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 4: and all the jealous boyfriends up the back.

56
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: You must have gotten used to seeing.

57
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 4: That you were the other back, of course, those absolutely, Yeah.

58
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: It was yeah, well it was. I mean we sort

59
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: of modeled ourselves. Look, as you do the history of music,

60
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: the best looking bands really get the most girls. And

61
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: there was five recently good looking blokes in the band,

62
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: and and you know, we didn't make ourselves available. Put

63
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: it that way.

64
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: You know what else you're embraced from the time, the

65
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: lofty hair we you know, you and me and the

66
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: rest of us, we are responsible for that hole on

67
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: the ozone lad that we had back there with all

68
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 3: the hairspray.

69
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it wasn't just a never used hit right now,

70
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: But of course we always get the streaks in the hair,

71
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: you know, the mullet was always good, you know, in

72
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: between sets, you know you want to write down the

73
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: back and we have a break and get the head

74
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: dryer out and puffing up. We couldn't go on look

75
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: at all wet and shaggy, so you know, we always

76
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: get a head right close by.

77
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: I reckon, you might have done some shopping at Renoise.

78
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: All yeah, jacket.

79
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: I think they. I think they sponsored us at some point.

80
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: I did, well, we were quite fashion. Itons is not absolutely.

81
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Actually who had the best mallet? Mine? Was it

82
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: Lance or Todd? What do you reckon? Was the revote?

83
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: I agree, different stages, you know, I always had a

84
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: limit of the half hour it goes. But I mean

85
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: Lance was pretty good. God Todd towards the end he

86
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: really buffed it up pretty big. And Nick was always

87
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: there as well, and I were always pretty controlled. We

88
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: didn't we didn't. We didn't need to put so much

89
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: emphasis on the heads to get the check.

90
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: Okay, Alan, tell us about the Nook and Busters.

91
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Nook and Busters was always a long weekend. It

92
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: was like a Sunday session or a Monday. Whoever the

93
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: biggest whoever the biggest band was at the time, used

94
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: to basically underwrite it. Uh so we you know, we

95
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: did quite a few times. So we would play the

96
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: other bands a fee to play there with us, and

97
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: then we take the door. So you'd start about four

98
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: o'clock and you go through to about I suppose, and

99
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: you know that with this pack, weques going to right

100
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: around the place. Uh they didn't have the Florida they

101
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 2: did one as well, Raffles, Rippers and all those there

102
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: was that was the thing to put. You know, this

103
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: was a lot notch as Vaga pre There's a lot

104
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: of big bands around back then. Week Yeah, we were

105
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: the most remembered because we invested our money quite well

106
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: back into the band, you know, with video clips and

107
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: recordings and albums and stuff like that, where a lot

108
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: of other bands probably invested in cigarette papers.

109
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 4: What was it like because Molly couldn't resist getting on Countdown?

110
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: Of course because of the West Australian hits, you had

111
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 4: the number ones. What was it like going on Countdown

112
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: for the first time?

113
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: Ah, well, it was a bit of a disappointment really

114
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: because he wasn't even there. It was all pre taped.

115
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: Nick and Todd were stuck in Sydney and the other

116
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: three of us were in Melbourne. Now, I don't sing

117
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: at all ight, and they said, look, we'll get half

118
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: of the film clip done before the other two turn up,

119
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: and then we'll add them into it and make up

120
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: the clip to make out its live. We go okay,

121
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: and so I had to pretend to do harmonies. There

122
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: is a video clip on YouTube with me and a

123
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: night of Purple Top looking so interested in doing these

124
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: harmonies with Rams, and I think it was Gaby in there.

125
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: You mentioned, of course there were some really great bands

126
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: around in Perth at the time. Who were some of

127
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: your favorites that were playing around the pubs?

128
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: Well, I mean Perfect Strangers was kind of opposition. They

129
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: were signed to CBS back in the day and we

130
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: were signed to munch Room Records. The friends were always good,

131
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: They were always the early Fingerprints, were early loaded Dice

132
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: were in early before us, so they were the ones

133
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: that we grew up sort of looking at. The boys

134
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: of course were another one Wooker, the love Wooker, watching

135
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: Steve Wench and you know, and because now the famous

136
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: Gary Dunn on guitar then, I mean, jeez, Flying Foster

137
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: Relies was very good. If you went to a Fosie gig,

138
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: the audience participation with those guys Alf and Richard. They

139
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: were just so good to get in the cloud, to

140
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: shape this, take their tail feathers and.

141
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: Do whatever they wanted, didn't I just like Jack and

142
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: I would blues. I love that.

143
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well they sort of starlet it around that,

144
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: you know.

145
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, well we're going to be talking to a lot

146
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 4: of those people over the next week or two. Some

147
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: of the names you mentioned, some some famous Perth rock names.

148
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it was great, It was great times. It

149
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: was a big scene. You know. All we had to

150
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: do back in those days was you had to go

151
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: to either the movies, you know, or you go to

152
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: the beach, or we go to the pubs. Up until

153
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: up until the late eighties, that was really all you

154
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 2: had to do. And you know, there were so many bands.

155
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: If you pulled two or three hundred or four hundred,

156
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: you were just an average band. If you got up

157
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: to about eight or nine hundred, you had potential. But

158
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: then the big ones is to fall a minimum of

159
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: say fifteen hundred people, and then to do that three

160
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: nights a week. Well, every every venue wanted that. The

161
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: money that was being changed over the bars. Back in

162
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: those days, it was incredible.

163
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: Vakapri had their own merchandise. Were you a bit of

164
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 3: a pioneer for that side of things because not all

165
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: the bands had merch Well.

166
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were pretty clever with the marketing. I was

167
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: always a salesman, you know, looking forward to the band

168
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: and even afterwards. So you know, we were doing well

169
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: in the pubs and I said, look, we need to

170
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: step it up a bit. We should start doing our

171
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: own songs. But none of us had written a song,

172
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: so we had a crack out. I got involved with

173
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: Mick I think it was, and Lance and we wrote

174
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: the first song and we didn't have a B side,

175
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: and I said, well we don't need a B side.

176
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: No one plays the bloody B side and they said,

177
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: well are we going to do? I said, we'll put

178
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 2: a picture of ourselves on the back. So we had

179
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: these forty five singles back in the day, the little

180
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 2: forty five, and all the guys were in the office

181
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: and we were putting the stickers on the back. It

182
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: was black and white the first one and that reached

183
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: about number twenty round that mark in Perth, and then

184
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: I said there was no point doing singles unless we

185
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: can get the people to buy, and pub people don't

186
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 2: really buy, and that's you cool. So I said, we

187
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: need to get to the schools to the kids. The

188
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 2: next minute there's jos He was dour manager, was got

189
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: great dead. He set up there every week. We'd be

190
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: working twice a week, full set up, full pa with

191
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: the crew and everything at the high schools. And then

192
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: we're handing out these photos of ourselves looking glamorous and

193
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: the po Box number on it. The next minute they're

194
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: all writing saying I love Lance, I love Good or whatever,

195
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 2: and so we got their details and we suspen in

196
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: the merchandise form and I can remember we did the

197
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: next single, which was haunting me. That was probably our

198
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: biggest song, and we said to them, look, you know,

199
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: we've got a new single coming out. We had about

200
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 2: two thousand kids in this in this Span club, and

201
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: we said we'd love to get back in the charts

202
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: again and maybe get a bit higher if you could

203
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: order the song before it, you know, pre order it.

204
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 2: So then the single comes out again no B side,

205
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: so we stepped it up and put a color photo

206
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 2: on the back of and there was stickers and then

207
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: what we did was they did. They ordered it. So

208
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: as soon as that record it hit the record stores,

209
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: it was sold out. So we debuted first week in

210
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: at number one.

211
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: Speaking of Haunting Me, I love How, it features in

212
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 3: one of the most famous scenes in Australian soaple history.

213
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: It plays over Kylie Minogue's final episode of Neighbors.

214
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 2: But there is a Kylie Minogue story.

215
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you go down?

216
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: Right? Well, we met Kylie about nineteen eighty four, late

217
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: eighty FOURDS. Here's this little kid. You've got to remember

218
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: the times, all right. There was no Internet, there was

219
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: no social media, no texting, no phones. It was just

220
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: like someone to ring you on your home phone if

221
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: you're lucky, or you get a letter. And we had

222
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: no idea what was going on in England. One day

223
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: we get a phone call from Mushroom Records and they

224
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: said we had a group meeting there in the office

225
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: with desk and there's Amanda Pelman from Mushroom and she said,

226
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: he goes, we've got Toylie Minogue wants to record Haunting Me.

227
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: And we go, who I we Minogue, that little chick

228
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: on Neighbors. Because you've got to remember, we thought we

229
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: were the coolest of the cool We had the look,

230
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: we had the sound, we had the money. We were

231
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 2: like they were vertically untouchable. And we said, well, Todd

232
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 2: had the initial decision to say no because he wrote it,

233
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: and then he goes not. We go yeah, yea, nada.

234
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,239
Speaker 2: We don't want her recording out song. That would be ridiculous.

235
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: So of course, back in the day the forty five singles,

236
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: when they released those, they used to have fifteen percent

237
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: woryalties of the sale of the record and that was

238
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: split between a side and the b died and Coyleie

239
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: released her debut singles through stock Ache and Waterman and

240
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: saw the potential in that girl and they did. She

241
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: did the Locomotion and it only went number one in

242
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: seventeen countries. So, yeah, you're going to messine how much

243
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: money is?

244
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: What do you do?

245
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: Well? I mean the band, the band wouldn't have made

246
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: anything out of it. But the guys that wrote the song,

247
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 2: Todd and Landstone pretty missed out on the shipload of

248
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: money probably.

249
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 4: And I've Got You're going to have Goodinsky was a

250
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 4: rock guy forever and then signed Kylie. That was quite

251
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 4: astounding at the time. Metopolo, Oh yeah, I.

252
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: Had I heard Michael Gadinski in my laundry and stuff,

253
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: but he flew over. He saw we debut at number one,

254
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: and he's he is pricked, Ublement. I'm coming over and

255
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: that's the answer on the signs as well. But they

256
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: went with perfect strangers and went with us.

257
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

258
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:47,559
