Speaker 2: tonight because it is a super special episode covering it's

63
00:03:34,909 --> 00:03:36,909
Speaker 2: really one of my favorite musicians ever. I was playing

64
00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:39,029
Speaker 2: this record on the weekend and just marveling at the

65
00:03:39,029 --> 00:03:41,469
Speaker 2: fact that it still stands. They were on Meritith a

66
00:03:41,469 --> 00:03:44,269
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, still some of them in their eighties.

67
00:03:44,389 --> 00:03:46,549
Speaker 2: It is of course about one of the members of

68
00:03:46,909 --> 00:03:53,709
Speaker 2: Yofu Indi in Wittiana. Marika tell us a little bit

69
00:03:53,709 --> 00:03:56,389
Speaker 2: about it, why he's on the show tonight and what

70
00:03:56,429 --> 00:03:56,909
Speaker 2: it's all about.

71
00:03:56,989 --> 00:04:01,509
Speaker 4: Lee. Well, he's just an iconic Australian that he's got

72
00:04:01,509 --> 00:04:03,589
Speaker 4: exactly what we love in Australian story, which is people

73
00:04:03,589 --> 00:04:05,109
Speaker 4: know him for one thing, but then there's a part

74
00:04:05,149 --> 00:04:06,989
Speaker 4: of his life people don't know. That much about, so

75
00:04:07,709 --> 00:04:10,669
Speaker 4: our crew went out to visit him in Yakala in

76
00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:12,869
Speaker 4: the Northern Territory where he's from. And so the first

77
00:04:12,909 --> 00:04:15,349
Speaker 4: part of his life was when Yatha Yindi made a

78
00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:17,828
Speaker 4: huge impact with that album and particularly with that song

79
00:04:17,868 --> 00:04:19,988
Speaker 4: Treaty went you know, around the world, and then he

80
00:04:20,029 --> 00:04:22,229
Speaker 4: was kind of living the rock star lifestyle as you do.

81
00:04:22,549 --> 00:04:25,149
Speaker 4: And then he just had a bit of a wake

82
00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:27,188
Speaker 4: up call one day where he thought, this is not

83
00:04:27,229 --> 00:04:29,469
Speaker 4: a good path and my community needs me. And now

84
00:04:29,469 --> 00:04:32,029
Speaker 4: he fulfills this role in his community. He's almost like

85
00:04:32,069 --> 00:04:34,229
Speaker 4: a kind of he's an elder. He's almost like a

86
00:04:34,269 --> 00:04:38,469
Speaker 4: spiritual leader that people kind of rally around, just kind

87
00:04:38,509 --> 00:04:41,829
Speaker 4: of the guy who's there basically binding the community together.

88
00:04:41,909 --> 00:04:44,829
Speaker 4: So he's almost like a pastoral role, I guess, but

89
00:04:44,869 --> 00:04:47,669
Speaker 4: then still does stuff with Yathi Yindy as well. He's

90
00:04:47,709 --> 00:04:50,189
Speaker 4: a very charismatic guy. When you see him in the show,

91
00:04:50,229 --> 00:04:51,869
Speaker 4: he's just got a lot of presence.

92
00:04:52,149 --> 00:04:56,229
Speaker 2: What's this car crash a year ago that changed his lifely.

93
00:04:56,429 --> 00:04:58,749
Speaker 4: So he was on a sort of long drive, had

94
00:04:58,749 --> 00:05:01,789
Speaker 4: a car crash, His son was in the car and

95
00:05:01,869 --> 00:05:03,749
Speaker 4: it was just a real wake up moment for him,

96
00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:06,549
Speaker 4: where he thought, yeah, I've just got to get myself sorted,

97
00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:09,308
Speaker 4: and has had some heart troubles as well, so just

98
00:05:09,349 --> 00:05:12,509
Speaker 4: a few brushes with mortality that's made him think, you

99
00:05:12,549 --> 00:05:14,509
Speaker 4: know what, I've got to just get myself together here.

100
00:05:15,069 --> 00:05:17,709
Speaker 1: Wow, I am I right Lee in saying that you

101
00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:18,989
Speaker 1: had a brush with mortality.

102
00:05:19,669 --> 00:05:24,308
Speaker 4: Yeah. When I had my second child, I had a

103
00:05:24,389 --> 00:05:26,748
Speaker 4: really bad birth, which I shouldn't tell you guys, because

104
00:05:26,749 --> 00:05:28,229
Speaker 4: you just recently had babies. I don't want you to

105
00:05:28,269 --> 00:05:33,789
Speaker 4: put off having any more. Congratulations. By the way, now,

106
00:05:34,109 --> 00:05:35,988
Speaker 4: are you let me let me put on my mum hat?

107
00:05:36,029 --> 00:05:38,069
Speaker 4: Are you pulling you weight at home? Lads?

108
00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:40,269
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think the biggest thing about going

109
00:05:40,269 --> 00:05:41,988
Speaker 1: from one you have to think about it.

110
00:05:42,229 --> 00:05:43,589
Speaker 5: The answer is no.
