1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Jump Mission with Jonesy and Amanda. So here's the story

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: that I've come across from nineteen sixty four. The Beatles

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: touchdown in Brisbane just after midnight on a chill in

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: June night in nineteen sixty four. Eight hundred fans were

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: there to greet them. Among that group were some non

6
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,159
Speaker 1: fans with eggs in their pocket and they chucked the

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: eggs at the Beatles. The police came. Apparently the police

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: thought it was funny. They escorted them away so that

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: the fans couldn't get to them, and they let them go.

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 1: The egg throwing shocked the Beatles, who put an ad

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 1: in the paper and when on the radio the next

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: day asking the throwers to come forward. A Brisbane girl,

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: Susan and her two friends said, yeah, it was us,

14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,959
Speaker 1: even though they weren't the culprits, because there's a chance

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: to meet the Beatles. Yes, she said, we didn't actually

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: have any interest in the Beatles, but it was just

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: that everyone was trying to get to meet them and

18
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: we thought, well, well let's do that. We were ushered up

19
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: to the room and after a short conversation we said

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: we'd better be going, and they said no, stay stay

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: and talk to We're bored, she said. The people the

22
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: Beatles said to Susan that people just wanted to talk.

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: They just want to talk to people because they couldn't

24
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: go out of their hotel because they were just surrounded

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: by screaming teenagers. And then she said, while we were there,

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: the real egg throwers turned up. I'll get to that

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: in a sec. Meanwhile, George Harrison is interviewed when he's

28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: asked about the egg throwers. This is what he.

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: Says, Brisbane and the egg throwing got a little bad.

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: Actually that was all right. There were four, no about

31
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: six fellers, and we put it in the paper we

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: like to see them, and they came up to the

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 2: hotel and we had a long discussion with them and

34
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: as we thought, they were just typical egg ads from

35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: a university, but there were only about six fellows and

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: they were right schmocks anyway, you know. But at the

37
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: end they admitted they were very childish.

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: Do you know who one of those egg throwers was,

39
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: and he's outed himself, Bob Catter, No, Bob Catter. Bob

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: Catters was one of those university students that threw eggs

41
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: at the Beatles in nineteen six, you hated the Beatles

42
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: because that would have been you know, come on, long hair. Yeah. Well,

43
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: luckily Bob Catter has matured, yes, and he's stayed sensible

44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: ever since.

45
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 3: People are entitled to their sexual proclimities. You know, I mean,

46
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: let there be a thousand blossoms blooms concern, but I

47
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: ain't spending any time warrant because in the meantime, every

48
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: three months a person is torn to pieces by crocodile

49
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 3: in North Queensland.

50
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: Which George Harrison was around a comment on that.

51
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: Jonesy and Amanda's
