Speaker 2: So yeah, and we roll the we roll the sleeves up.

25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: You have to roll and we tuck it in.

26
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: I had I had to choose life T shirt and

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: a Frankie says, no war Wow, Wow, that was my

28
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: protest shirt.

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: I didn't That didn't have much of an effect as

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: it turned out.

31
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: As it turned out, Frankie Frankie said a lot of

32
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: things some of them didn't understand at the time.

33
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: Yes, it's interesting, isn't it an you wonder what?

34
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, anyway, I didn't know.

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 4: But anyway, you'll be singing all the classics.

36
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: What do you think to find something as a classic?

37
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: I think if they My rule with this show least

38
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: was that if they didn't clap along or sing along,

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: it wasn't in the show, because I didn't want to

40
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: do the greatest Hits show. You know, if I have

41
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: to sing yeah, yeah, or I will survive one more time,

42
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'll check you. And so I thought, I

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: know what I'll do. I'll sing thirty classics from the

44
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: eighties that I've never sung before. And they had to

45
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: bloody learn them.

46
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.

47
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: And so the trick is they've got to be able

48
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: to sing along, hum along, clap along. That's my rule.

49
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: So they're all in there. It's classics.

50
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 5: It works any Aussie pop classes. If you had some

51
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 5: Kylie or something popular didn't.

52
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit of Kylie, a little bit of

53
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: Big Nicky and you know that other one. She's better

54
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: than tellim andog. So the TikTok kids, because you know

55
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: how the TikTok kids are listening to songs at double speed.

56
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: So I do a double speed version of reminiscing. And

57
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: it was late, I was walking home. We got down

58
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: to the gate, dars Ryman. It would it turned out right.

59
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: Works stre I don't mind that.

60
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: I've got a fabulous music director, Bev Kennedy playing the keys,

61
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: and I've got my I've got a nepo nephew that

62
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: because you've got to pass the torch, you know what

63
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm saying. And so he's in the show, my neo nephew,

64
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: Philip mccrevis. And he's the remarkable young man, not so young,

65
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: but remarkable.

66
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: Glenn Sharke's not in the crowd one night, but because

67
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: he won't keep up that quickly.

68
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: It's a seven o'clock.

69
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: You met some very influential people in your time. The

70
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: original influencer of course was the Queen.

71
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: That's right.

72
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 4: I want to tell us about the time that she

73
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 4: made her laugh.

74
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: And I did the Royal v I made the Queen laugh.

75
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: I did the Royal Variety performance in nineteen ninety five

76
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: in London, and I looked up as I walked off,

77
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: because you've got a bout of the audience. Then you're

78
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: bow to the box, out of the audience, then walk up.

79
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: And I adjusted my hair as I bowed to the box,

80
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: and I looked up as I left, and she and

81
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: Philip were killing themselves laughing. And she spoke to me

82
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: after she spoke to me in the lineup, because you're

83
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: allowed to speak to her, she's going to speak to you.

84
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: So that was very exciting.

85
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: Do you remember what she said was profound?

86
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: Yes, she asked if she could see a valid work,

87
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: permit love it.

88
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: You went for having a sensational sense of human that's

89
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: the thing she was.

90
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: So you know, I realized she wasn't. She was actually

91
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: about the same age as I am now, which blows

92
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: my tidy mind, because you know I am thirty nine.

93
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: And her eyes were beautiful, just beautiful, yafy blue.

94
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,320

96
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: jewels helped. They were jewels, they were real. So because

97
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: so what happens now is because it's not the greatest

98
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,240
