A podcast by 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:08.520 a couple of Mitchens the radio. 0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:14.080 Oh, the time has come, Cheery the legend of talkback 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:18.279 radio himself, John Laws is retiring as of today, November eight. 0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.440 You're officially off the air after seventy years broadcasting. 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:24.159 This is his last day doing talkback radio, which is 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.000 sad for us a couple of radio nerds. 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:27.840 Yeah, any regular. 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.720 Listeners of ours know that we bloody love a good 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:31.480 John Law's moment. 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:33.519 Just such John Laws, Is It just Me? 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.240 There'll be heats, but I'd love to play his golden bits, 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.240 So it's a bit sad that we won't get those anymore. 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:39.800 I know I'm going to miss him, but it also 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:41.839 makes me happy knowing that we're off air and he 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.160 is as well. So any blunder that he would make, 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:45.120 we wouldn't miss. 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:47.680 Exactly, he's bowing out just before us. 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.080 I know, chicken is a coward. You want to feed 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:51.120 us to the punch. 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.040 And so if you miss it, this is how John 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:54.960 announced that he was retiring from radio. 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.680 It's time for a rest, is what I think. And 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:01.920 you know I've done it for a very very, very 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:06.720 very long time, and I think that I'll just call 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.679 it a day and call it a day pretty soon, 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.760 probably beginning of November. Beginning of November, I think is 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:18.279 probably the time. But I've done it for seventy years. 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:25.759 That's a long time, long time, fantastic years. Fantastic years. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.720 Had a really really good time, and love you know, 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:34.000 most of it, loved almost every minute of it. I'll travel, 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.880 I'll sit about. I'll read more than I read now, 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.600 which is a hell of a lot. But I'll read more. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.880 And when I call it a day, it'll be a day. 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.400 I'm not going to go away and then come back 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.800 again and say, oh, it was all a mistake. It 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.960 may well be a mistake, but there'll be no return, 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:58.360 no return. That's it. 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.120 It's just a bit tired. It's giving Tracy Grimshaw. I'm 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.000 not old. I'm just a bit timed. What she needs 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:03.360 to rest? 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:05.960 Oh you know what, I can just picture him with 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.480 a couppa, sitting down the book Gotch or something Scotch 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.240 an afternoon late lunches with rich billionaire friends like come on. 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.840 Now, I think it's safe to say that we could 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.280 describe John Laws as a friend of the ship, friend 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:19.919 of the pod. We were lucky enough to sit down 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.400 with him. We'll play you that in a second. But 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.520 because we're also bowing out of the broadcast game, Emily, 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.600 one of our idiots, suggested for our bucket list the 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.720 things we want to do before we wrap up the 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.919 podcast for good. She said, John Laws sending you guys 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:35.200 off one final time. 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.320 And beautifully said, we put it on the bucket list. 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.839 Yeah, we know one of his producers. He was one 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.120 of our kind. Yes he is, oh, just queery years. 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.320 His name's En we love. I said, do you reckon? 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.240 You could get a message from John saying farewell to 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.920 us and our podcast, good luck with everything whatever. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.399 And he's like, yeah, leave it with me. And I said, 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.520 even if he says no, to hell with that. I 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.280 don't want to be doing that. Just record that. That'll 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.680 be perfect. No, no more than that. 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.000 He actually recorded a message for us, But I just 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.120 think he didn't realize who he was talking to. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.240 You'll soon understand why. 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.360 I suspect that this is the message from John You're ready? 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:16.320 Okay, well soll as, I hope you're happy in your retirements. 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.920 I tried it once. I didn't like it very much, 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.640 so I came back to work. But I hope you 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.880 enjoy your retirement. You know you'll find you will get bored. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:32.400 But find a good woman or a good book, preferably 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:36.400 the former, and just enjoy yourselves. But if you need 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.600 any help, if you need any advice, not about the 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.520 women though, that's your problem, but if you need any 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.000 advice about a good book to read. There's a very 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:52.160 good book called A Fortunate Life. I can't remember his name, 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.400 the bloke who wrote it, ab Facing, Yeah, ab Facing, 0:03:56.040 --> 0:04:00.120 good book, A Fortunate Life. Read there and then and 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.720 you're through that, read a bit of Irviest Hevingway, and 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:03.960 then go to sleep. Good night. 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:10.160 That's it, Go to sleep, good night. Thanks John, thank you, 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.160 Thank you the world.

I haven't mentioned that 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.440 you guys were retiring, And I said, you're ending your 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:24.599 podcast twenty eight. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.880 We're off retiring for God's sake. We're gay men. We 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:29.880 both have good men. 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.239 But anyway, we spoke to John Laws and you were 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.920 very intimidated by him. You walked away from that being 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:37.880 like that interview was a fucking shocker. 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.360 That was a disaster, one of my worst ever. I 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.080 was nervous because I'm a radio guy, like so are you. 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.719 But you know, being a radio host, many people it's 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.240 like Kyle sandaland it's the John Laws, the Alan Jones 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:50.880 is that you kind of look up to and revere 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:52.400 and I was just very nervous. 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.760 Also one of your strengths is like keeping things flowing. Yeah, 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.560 but John thrives on awkward silence, and I know that 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.400 about him. So I was in that interview going, oh, 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:01.279 he's loving this. 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:02.120 I hated it. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:03.000 I hate it. 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.680 I hate it. I just he actually I think made 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.120 it more awkward on purpose. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:09.200 Yeah that's what he's like. 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.039 Yeah, you hear it though, This is this is the 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:16.080 moment unedited, right, Yeah, let's throw it. 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:34.760 Hello world, I'm John Laws. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.960 John Laws.

Yeah, we're die hard fans. We 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.400 work inside Kiss so alongside Kyle Sandalans, who you know 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.440 really takes a lot of his inspiration from you. 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:27.600 Oh he does, doesn't. 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.880 He He's taken everything from me, everything, the mic, a 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.640 gold microphone, the headphones, the Rolls Royce car, the lot, 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:39.080 the lot. He hasn't got a single genuine original thought 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:40.440 and he's rather lovely. 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:41.760 Are you're a fan of Kyle? 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.160 I like him. I like Kyle. Don't underestimate Kyle is 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:45.760 pretty bright. 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:47.440 He's good at what he does. 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.200 They've been chatting a lot on Kyle and Jackie I 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.320 Show recently about the fact that a lot of people 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.160 suspect that Kyle could be secretly gay. 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:57.479 What do he means secretly? 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.279 They were telling him that you do come across that 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.760 way at a glance, some people might suspect that you're gay. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:05.320 What do you think of that? 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:09.120 I don't think so, and it wouldn't matter if he wasn't. 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.239 I like Kyle. I get on very well with Kyle. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.840 He and I have friends. Yeah, yeah, you know, you've 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.880 got to be careful. That probably was a sweeping statement, 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.960 but yes, we're kind of friends. Am I having lunch 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.560 with Kyle or something? Soon? Were they to organize that? 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.360 I like having lunch with it. I find him music 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.800 and I find him also a very genuine bloke. I 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:32.520 think if you were in trouble, you could turn to 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.200 Kyle and he'd do his best. It mightn't be very good, 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:36.080 but he'd do his best. 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:36.880 I think so too. 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.880 Yeah. Have you had a long lunch with Kyle recently? 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.560 I have prayed a fe How. 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:45.080 Long are the long lunches, by the way, nine or 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:45.640 ten hours? 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.120 God, jeez, that's a lie. Probably thirteen. 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.120 Do you drink of these long lunches you drinking these days? 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:53.600 Am I? 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:54.679 What drinking? 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:55.080 Like? 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:56.360 You have a wine drinking? 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.160 Jesus is the pope praying? Of course? 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:00.480 Do you know? 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.320 One thing that Kyle claims as he's big claim to 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.280 fame is that his first radio gig was paneling your 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.920 show in Townville or something. That's also my claim two 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.560 PK in Parks when I was doing work experience, I 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.520 had to make sure the ads for John Laws were 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:16.680 playing in time, all of that. 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.120 So that was my two PK with Betty Muzzy Chuk 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.360 who don't you remember Betty? The Spicer family owned two 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:30.760 PKH okay, and the daughter or step daughter or daughter 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.720 in law or somebody. Her name was Betty Muzzy Chuck 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.120 and she ran the station when I was only there 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:38.480 one night. 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.120 I hated you worked at two PIK. 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.000 Yeah, I did one night for one night. 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:42.600 What happened? 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:44.520 They wouldn't let me smoke. 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:45.840 In the studio. 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:47.640 How long ago was that? 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:52.280 Nineteen fifty four? Probably? 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.240 Okay, do you still smoke or if you quit? 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:55.480 Oh? No, I quit ages? 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:57.560 Okay? Would you like to try a vape? 0:08:58.920 --> 0:08:59.960 That's bloody stupid. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:01.880 She just hooked on the vabes. 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:02.960 No, I'm quitting. 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.240 Is it difficult to quit? What? Why would you take 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:07.920 up something that is difficult to quit? 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.040 Well, I think for people. 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.640 I'll tell you why. Yeah, because you're young and stupid. 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.360 No, I can't argue with that. Actually that's completely fair. 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.120 But yeah, I always tell people don't start them because 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.680 they're way easier to get hooked on than cigarettes.

I would 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:38.839 love to be a jackaroo again, but I can't afford it. 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.000 But I used to. I used to go to the 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.920 Legacy Ball and the Bachelor's Ball and the Spinster's Ball, 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:49.400 and they used to get me to do a commentary, 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.560 you know, to introduce people as they came in the door. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.720 And there was a man there from a w A 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.040 which were at that time as a huge concloine a 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:04.000 lot of radio stations all over Australia. And he heard 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.280 me and he asked me did I want to get 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.360 into into radio? And I wasn't sure. But the man 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.040 I was working for, a wonderful welksman by the name 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.959 of Llewellyn Powell. He thought it would be a pretty 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.400 good idea if I were to do that and get 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.959 me off his property and get me somewhere else. So 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.440 I just fell into it that way and loved it. 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.720 Fell in love with it clearly. Yeah, how long have 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:26.520 you been doing it now? 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.800 Sixty eight?

I'm doing a very important interview with 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:45.320 two very important young men, and she's doing a bloody crosswork. 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.400 Jesus, it's so nice to put a face to the 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.880 name the Mother sapirior I here referred to all the 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:51.679 time on the show. 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:53.320 Well, are you impressed? 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.160 I am absolutely. She's pretty much what I envisioned. Actually, yeah, 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:57.880 is she really? 0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:58.200 Yeah? 0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:59.920 Well, she gave us a talking to before we came in. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.559 You said you're up to no good.

Yeah, but 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.680 it is the word bitch there, It's a term of endearment. 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:42.960 It's all about context. 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:44.120 You back and empowering. 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:45.920 Don't don't use that word. 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.480 My apologies, I take it back, Mother Superior, take advance. 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.080 What's your advice for someone like Mitch to last that 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:52.840 long in radio? 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:54.400 It's been seven so far. 0:12:54.960 --> 0:13:01.240 My advice to Mitch give it away?
