1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Joined the and Amanda in the morning.

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 2: Well at one point seven.

3
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 3: Tell you our next guest. We love him. He has

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 3: one of the most extraordinary voices in the country. And

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 3: not only that, he's one of the nicest people in

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 3: the biz. As we like to say. He's got a

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 3: new album out or he recently released it, and he's

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 3: announced a national tour by the name of Truth. He's

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 3: on the line to tell us about it. Guy Sebastian, Hello.

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 4: Hello, goods, how are we doing? Well?

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: Great, I'll ask you this question.

12
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: It's Truth, but is it t ut h because there's

13
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: a dot between each initial in it?

14
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 4: There are dots, but unfortunately it's not a wise acronym

15
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 4: of any sort. It was just a design thing which

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 4: I now regret. I've got dot regret because people are

17
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 4: expecting it to meet I think people just you know,

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 4: sometimes when it comes to albums, you know, with album artwork,

19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 4: there is sometimes some hidden messages and people people will

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 4: seek out those little hidden details. But unfortunate in the title.

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing with album covers.

22
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: I remember as a kid, whenever you say an album cover,

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: I instantly go back to anything by meat Life and

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: and Kisses.

25
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: Unmasked. I thought Kisses Unmasked was my favorite record cover,

26
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: was it?

27
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 3: I liked Captain Fantastic in.

28
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: The that was a great one. See, guys, he's a

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: bit younger than us. What about you, guy?

30
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 4: Well, no, I was obsessed with that album Artworker. It

31
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: was always a big thing for me. But I reckon

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 4: Gunners had some of the best artwork I've ever seen.

33
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 4: It was always, you know, every time you'd hang just

34
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 4: to see what they had they did.

35
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: And Nevada had that that little kid that was on

36
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: never Mind. Yeah, he is like about mine.

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 4: It's so iconic.

38
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: He's about thirty now, that little kid.

39
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: He doesn't swim in the natty anymore.

40
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 4: Well, well not that we not that we know of

41
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: no album.

42
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: Covers at least, Hey, can I ask you this, it's

43
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: a very optimistic thing to announce a tour when we're

44
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: not sure what next year looks looks like. How you're

45
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: managing all of that.

46
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: Well, I think I gave it enough time. You know,

47
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: I was supposed to be touring this year earlier this year,

48
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: and then I thought, well, maybe I'll be able to

49
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 4: announce that, you know, towards October November, And here we

50
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 4: are now in that period and you know, obviously we

51
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 4: can't publicly gather to that extent still, and then it

52
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: just felt like I wanted to make a safe announcement

53
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 4: where I thought, you know, surely by November next year

54
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 4: we should be all right. And I've never announced a

55
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 4: tour this far out, but yeah, I think we should

56
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: be sweet on November next year. Otherwise I think the

57
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: least problems will be whether you can go to a

58
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: guy Sovestian concert. Well.

59
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: Also, you know, the industry was promised two hundred and

60
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: fifty million dollars worth of emergency funding for arts and culture.

61
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: Scott Morrison promised that and you've pretty you've taken him

62
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: to task the last few days saying that only forty

63
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: nine million of that has been allocated.

64
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, look, I wanted to come, you know, from

65
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: factual point of view, and obviously, yes, I stood by

66
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 4: the PM in that moment, and you know, the issue

67
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 4: has been very politicized and so I requested an update

68
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: from from the PM's office and they gave me some

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 4: information which I relate on my social media just last week.

70
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: And I guess that's all I can do. I wasn't

71
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 4: there to help design the actual package or anything like that.

72
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: I was there as a mouthpiece to my peers in

73
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 4: the industry and to try and get money into the

74
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: hands of the people that need it so that we

75
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 4: can just kick start this industry again.

76
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: I look at where we're at with the pandemic and everything,

77
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: and I think about you on Instagram. You went to

78
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: Wuhan last year and you were you were in those

79
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: same wet markets eating crazy foods.

80
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: I don't know if I was in the same wet market.

81
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 4: And you know what's funny is I do every time

82
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: the story is, you know, be told. It's like it's

83
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 4: like chiding to whispers. Someone asked me the other day,

84
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 4: and you know, seriously, they asked. You know, you were

85
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: in wu hand and you're eating bat. I heard you

86
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 4: were eating bat, and it's possibly see me bat.

87
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: So for the record, you didn't. You weren't in the

88
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: wu Hand eating So I was.

89
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 4: Well, I was in wu had, but but I wasn't

90
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 4: eating bat. I wasn't in the web markets. But I mean,

91
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 4: it is pretty scary. I was. I was at a

92
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 4: music festival. I was at a major mass gathering of

93
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 4: people in November, like mid November, when the pandemic was starting,

94
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 4: and it's just of all the places I could have been,

95
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 4: I've never even heard of wu had up until that. Boy, Yeah,

96
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 4: it was. It was pretty pretty crazy to be there,

97
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: and it's a beautiful city. It's just such a shame that,

98
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: you know, it's going to be pretty tough to shake

99
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 4: that tag of you.

100
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,240
