1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the mornings. Well, look sharp, our

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: next guess is one of the most impressive people in

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: the world. Who do you say that about. He's changing

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: how we get around the globe one spaceship, one plane,

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: one boat at a time. He's in the country promoting

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: his new anti cruise line and Virgin's new flights to Japan.

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: It's Sir Richard Branson.

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning.

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 3: How are you doing anti cruise line?

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: Yes, tell us about that.

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 2: We decided we would try to build a cruise line

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: that was unlike any other cruise line, very virgin, very fun,

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: adults only. And next week I actually go on the

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: first sea trial of our first boat that's come out

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: of the dock in Italy. So the initial one will

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 2: be applying the Caribbean and people will be able to

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: get there by flying reg in Australia of course, and

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: then well we'll do one in the Mediterranean and then

19
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: the third one I'm hoping to be able to operate

20
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: out of Australia. So but you know, it's their beautiful

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: ships and there will be a lot of fun to

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: travel on.

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: Because it's not often you hear the word Virgin and

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: cruise line in the same sentence.

25
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 2: Uh, that's true, there's not often Before we started Virgin,

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody associated Virgin with with enterprises and

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: businesses and things like that. Anyway, over the years, maybe

28
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: we've changed that somewhat.

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: But reading about some of the stuff on board, so

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: is it true there's going to be an on board

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 3: tattoo parlor.

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: There will be an on board tattoo parlor, will be

33
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: you know that We've got quite a lot of guests.

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: We've got a couple of thousands staff working on it,

35
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: and there'll be something for everybody. But but it is

36
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: going to be added adults only for the first years anyway,

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: and so you know, we'll have lots of fun adult

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: entertainment and just give people a great time.

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: And are you still planning to hit into space commercial flights?

40
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: I know what you were hoping that they'd start next year.

41
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: Is that still on track?

42
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: It is? You know, we've had five people into space

43
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: this year, all our test pilots, so it's been a

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: very exciting year, the first five assauts to be created

45
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: since two thousand and nine in America. And next year,

46
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: and I've said this before, but next year I really

47
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: believe I'll be going up and then we'll have other

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: people going up to hew.

49
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: You going with the kite surfing. You're still doing that.

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: Kitesurfing is good. But I'll tell you what, I've got

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: a bunch of people from Berton, Australia sitting around me,

52
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: and they're going to get really upset if I carry

53
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: on talking about tie surfing when I'm about to announce

54
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: that we're going to be flying to Japan Canada on

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: the twenty ninth of March next year. And Canada is sorry.

56
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: Japan is dear to my heart because you know, we

57
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: hunt one's balloon from Japan to try to be the

58
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: first across the Pacific to America some years ago. But

59
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: it's also I think been proven from the World Cup.

60
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: What a fun place it is to visit. Great skiing

61
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: and you know, beautiful temples, great food, lots of great karaoke.

62
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: Japan is brilliant. I hear you putting a giant sushi

63
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: train on a baggage carousel at Brisbane Airport.

64
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: Don't spoil, don't spoil the fun. We haven't done but

65
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: we haven't done any unveiling.

66
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard up there, which is just you know,

67
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: refrigeration of refrigeration.

68
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: No, we're gonna have it. We're going to have some

69
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: fun today launching the route. And what a good idea

70
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: Sushi on a carousel.

71
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: We pretend I've suggested it.

72
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, thank you for that.

73
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: You're welcome. At least a man is not offering to

74
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: eat it off her. No, well that's true, that was

75
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: the cruise.
