14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: Woods and I have heard there's a cracking story about

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: the fact that you thought you were going to be

16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: a professional footballer until you were seventeen and then you

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: got drunk and did karaoke? Is that is that true?

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: That is true?

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: I played football until I was seventeen and then never

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: got like to where I wanted to be with it, obviously,

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: and I was going to go to America and for

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: university and like still play football, and I was like,

24
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: do you know what. I don't fancy that, man, It's

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: too far away, and I'm seventeen and I've got other

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: things to worry about, like going out and girls.

27
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, so then how do you end up in karaoke?

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: Then? So then my friend had like this karaoke party

29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: for like his seventeen or eighteenth birthday party, and I

30
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: just jumped on and then I started getting all this attention.

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, maybe I went to university in

32
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: London and I did acting because I didn't really know

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: about music. I kind of could. I kind of could

34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: do a bit of acting, because I feel like anyone

35
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: really can. If you come you an idiot, did.

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: You how many times did you need to this up

37
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: before you realized that it was singing? I feel like

38
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: you're just like a poor villain in a movie that

39
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 2: I'm watching. I'm just like, oh my God, made wake up.

40
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: It's the voice. It's your voice.

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: But then I do you know what?

43
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: Then I was at union. I taught myself how to

44
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: play guitar, and then I started writing songs and I

45
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: was like, do you know what. Now I'm ready to

46
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: go out and I don't know play these like five

47
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: songs that I had written, and luckily enough there was

48
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: someone from a record label and having a bit right,

49
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: well can we sign you? And then it all kind

50
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: of happened. From then I met like chasing status, and

51
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: then I created my first album and went on tours

52
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: and then second album and then now I'm here talking

53
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: to you a lot in Australia.

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: So speaking of tools as well. There Tommy. I've heard

55
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: there's a bit of a story behind one of your

56
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 3: first shows in Bedford. Yeah, I'm getting the song in

57
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: the sense maybe it's an embarrassing story. I don't know

58
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: the story, but is there a story from Bedford?

59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: A few stories from Bedford?

60
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 3: I heard there's a story around one of your first

61
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 3: performances in Bedford. So once you've signed the deal and

62
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: that is anything coming to mind.

63
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: There's one way, like a lady like fully stripped naked

64
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: and she shouted at me, ah my face and I

65
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: was like singing. I was like whoa, and then she

66
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: was stripped, took her pants off. It was it was

67
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: a hairy sight.

68
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: All right, all right, Tom, I applaud you know what

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: I mean?

70
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: The confidence, the confidence fair play? All right?

71
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: Well, Tom, away from what sounds like it was a

72
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: bit of a hairy situation. If you didn't hear Tom's

73
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: silkie pipes at the AFL Grand Final footy show, then

74
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: you did yourself at disservice. But the great thing is

75
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: we've with more Tom on the other side. It's well

76

00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: You did you ask? Did you want it on your nick?

102
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: Did you say you wanted.

103
