00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: It's a twenty six hour event broadcasting Channel seven and

00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: Wellington Street is going to be something else, but we'll

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 2: get to that in a minute.

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 3: Borders are open.

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: The last couple of years we've been sands a home

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 2: and away people, so away.

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: People, Sunrise people, sunrise people. Yeah, they're all coming back.

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: Of course, the last few years we've just had to

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: sort of make it up as we went along, right,

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: But we're kind of getting back.

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 3: To some sort of noise.

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: But said that never done at rac Arena, so there

16
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: will be something.

17
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: New, big space.

18
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 3: It's a huge space.

19
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: So back to the full twenty six hour broadcasts as well.

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: So think of some of the all of the you know,

21
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: the great telethon silliness of years gone by.

22
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: That's coming. It's returning. Yeah.

23
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: So you know, there's only one weekend of the year

24
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: where you can expect people from having a way to

25
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: do really dodgy, embarrassing things, right, you know, any other

26
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: weekend of the year, they'd be like you're joking problem.

27
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 4: Do some shirtless push ups or any of that stuff.

28
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Look, I don't want to promise it. Conger lines general

29
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,279
Speaker 1: silliness for the usual.

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister will be here for it, the Minister

31
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: becoming hopefully with coming with the check in his check.

32
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: In his top pockets.

33
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: Where's the check exactly, because you know, not many people

34
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: are the prime ministers that to write checks for them

35
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: these days. But I'm sure, I'm sure he'll come with

36
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: something in his top pocket.

37
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: I'm old enough to remember when we started doing the

38
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: thank you very much conger when it hit one hundred thousand.

39

40
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: Can it's shot up. That's incredible. It's phenomenal million dollars.

41
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,760

00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. So, yeah, sixty two million, and obviously there's

47
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of pressure to exceed that number every year,

48
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: so massive pressure on the team. But it looks pretty

49
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: confident that we'll get there. But yeah, it's tested to
