When did all this come together? 19 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 3: Well, it's been coming together slowly over probably the last 20 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 3: i'd say four months, fairly intensely, just you know, sort 21 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 3: of putting it out there and all of the obviously 22 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 3: the touring promoters in the country have been you know, 23 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 3: obviously in major talks with government and so forth to 24 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 3: really get the ball rolling, because it's been a long 25 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 3: time between drinks for people and music, so we've got 26 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: to get started at some points, and somebody's got to 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 3: crack the bottle open. So off we go, and you know, 28 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 3: we just put our faith in next year and hope, 29 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: you know, keeping fingers crossed that we can keep all 30 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 3: this stuff under control and learn how to push the 31 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 3: pillars and the posts, which is obviously what we're all 32 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 3: being forced to do. So we've got to think outside 33 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 3: the box and create create, obviously create new ones. So 34 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 3: that's what we're doing. We're just putting it out there 35 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 3: and God willing it will be okay. But we've got 36 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 3: to get on with it. That's it. You know, we 37 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 3: can't keep talking about a virus.

Is it exactly? And it means enchanted en chanted. 50 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 3: And it's also a term of when when the French 51 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: usually meets somebody for the first time. It's it's just 52 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: a polite way of saying, nice to meet you, enchanted 53 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 3: to meet you. 54 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, the French are so sexy, aren't they really? You know, 55 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 4: they gave us, you know, they gave us Manaja tire. 56 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: Have you had they gave one to you? 57 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: I haven't had one myself. I'm always I'm always up 58 00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: for one. 59 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: Well, the first time I went to Paris and someone 60 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: said to me, have you had a crap yet? And 61 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: I said, I beg your pardon and they said. 62 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: They made a crape. 63 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: Great, because travel can be binding, it can be rather 64 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: because you spent a lot. I mean, you've been living 65 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: in Paris. How obviously you can't be there now. That's 66 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: must be tough for you. 67 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 3: Well, not really, I strain it's a pretty fantastic place 68 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 3: to live and to be and you know it's improving 69 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 3: when you travel the world. And you know, I've been 70 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 3: really lucky enough to live in other places, you know, 71 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: but that's been a choice of my own as well. 72 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: But you know, I don't think moving your heads in 73 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: life is moving a head in life. You can think 74 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: that the grass is greener on the other side, because 75 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: wherever it is that you go, wherever it is that 76 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: you lay your hat, you know, there are good and 77 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: bad things in every single place. It's like, it's what 78 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: you make of it as an individual, how you want 79 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 3: to live that experience. And I've lived it. I've lived it, 80 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 3: you know, beautifully. But Paris was amazing in the nineties, 81 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: even in the two thousand. It's been in the last 82 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: five years, I would have to say, very honestly, the 83 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 3: energy has changed in Paris and it doesn't have that 84 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 3: energy anymore. You know, it's kind of moved on. You know. 85 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: There's been a lot of a lot of tough things 86 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 3: of regions in the Frendships, you know, subject to a 87 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: lot of brutal things these last five years. So it 88 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 3: does change. So it does change the spirit of the 89 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: of the place. 90 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 4: You know, we always get great wisdom from you, Tina. 91 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 4: Whenever you come on the show, you. 92 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 1: Should put out a calendar of your thoughts. 93 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: Tina in as Words. 94 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: Of Wisdom, Calendar of my wife, Amanda, thoughts. 95 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 4: Of your thoughts, the calendar of thoughts I thought you 96 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 4: were say. 97 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: I thought you were saying.
