00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: version of the Blair Witch projects.

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: You had to come out and which had to Darren

Speaker 2: Hayes formerly of Savage Garden. Darren Hayes from Savage Garden

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: has just released his memoir titled Unlovable.

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 3: He joins us now, Hello, Darren.

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for talking to me.

13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: Pleasure very well.

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: This is not a let me tell you about my

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: rockstar moments throwing TVs out of windows kind of memoir.

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: This is pretty raw to say the least, and fairly

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: heavy stuff. But was it therapeutic to write?

18
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 4: I mean, of course. I mean it's funny because I

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 4: wouldn't even call the genre a celebrity memoir. No, So yeah,

20
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 4: it's a book about a couple of things. It's a

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 4: book about how I grew up with domestic violence and

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 4: a lifetime of depression and trauma, and the back drop

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 4: to that was this extraordinary career. You just played one

24
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 4: of those songs. I'm so grateful that part of my life. So, yeah,

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 4: that career saved my life because it was this wonderful

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 4: fantasy world that I got to escape into and as

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 4: a young boy I dreamed of having and I was

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: fistine when I went to see Michael Jackson in concert

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 4: and decided that being a pop star was the only

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: way I could escape the world that I was living in,

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: which was, you know, without being superdom and gloom. It

32
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: was very, very sad and very challenging, and so I

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 4: became somebody else for a long time just to survive that.

34
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 4: And that's really what the book is about. How I

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 4: did that and how I survived.

36
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, there's a multi layer. There's so much in

37
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: your life there. I mean, even at the perth readA

38
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: gig I went. My son is a huge fan of

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: your so we went to see your most recent perth

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: reader gig made me eighteen months ago. You even opened

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 1: up about discovering your sexuality and being honest and talking

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: about your marriage, breakup and the rest of it. It

43
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: was very raw, but you wouldn't said that on stage,

44
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: mad now it's on paper.

45
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was sort of the beginning of it. I

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: knew I had just been given this book deal, which

47
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 4: was such an honor. I don't think I ever would

48
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 4: have sought out to write a book. But when I

49
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 4: was promoting my last album, there'd been an article that

50
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 4: I had written for a newspaper in the UK, which

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: is a childhood photograph of me when I was about ten,

52
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 4: and the subject of that interview was essentially, you can't

53
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 4: tell from this happy you know, sort of people pleasing

54
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 4: little boys sitting on his bed, the horrors that were

55
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: going on at home, and then the horrors that were

56
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 4: going on at school being bullied for being gay. And

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 4: Penguin reached out to me and said, would you tell

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: that story because I know in our country, sadly you

59
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 4: know the statistics of violence women. Absolutely, and I'm so

60
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: grateful that you know. My mother is still with us,

61
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 4: she's obviously no longer with my father, and I consider

62
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: my life story maybe it's a cautionary tale, but it's

63
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 4: also a success. I got through it, and I hope

64
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: that this book and me sharing those stories like I

65
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 4: did in Perth. Thank you for coming to that show.

66
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: It was really I love I loved that tour, and

67
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: I hadn't toured for so long. But I just hope

68
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 4: by sharing these stories, it's just removing the stigma of

69
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 4: feeling ashamed when you have been abused, when you have

70
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 4: been traumatized, when you've been through those things, when you've

71
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 4: experienced depression, the statistics of male suicide, for example, it's

72
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 4: just so preventable if we just talk about it. So

73
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: that's the aim with my book. It's to really Yes,

74
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 4: it's just sometimes it's uncomfortable to be this revealing, but

75
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: it was healing for me. Yeah, and I would like

76
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: to hope it's inspiring for anyone that's either been through

77
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 4: or is experiencing anything that they think they can't overcome.

78
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: It's such a story of two extremes.

79
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: I mean, something that was awful to read was when

80
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: you talk about your father once leaving a hand shaped

81
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: bruise on you that lasted for a week. I mean

82
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: the thought both physically painfully and emotionally painfully that that

83
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: does to a little kid. And then the other extreme

84
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: of the massive success you have as a pop star,

85
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: but depression doesn't that it doesn't necessarily just because you

86
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: have all that success, it does necessarily just go away.

87
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: Did you find you sometimes had to deal with people saying, well,

88
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: come on, Darren, look at your look.

89
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: At this life. You've got back uproot all.

90
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: You've got it all, mate.

91
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 4: Yes, And that's a really common misconception about depression, because

92
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 4: my depression is it's in my DNA. If you read

93
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 4: my book, you know two members of my immediate family

94
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 4: suddinly have committed suicide. And it's so sad, you know.

95
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: I like to describe it to people as you know

96
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 4: your brain chemicals they're lying to you. I'm very lucky

97
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: that I early on was diagnosed because it was just

98
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 4: like any other disease, you know, like if you're somebody

99
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 4: who is going to develop diabetes or you have a

100
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: higher chance of, say, developing cancer. It was just an inevitability.

101
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 4: My mother's side of the family, we all have a

102
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 4: tendency toward depression. And I, at the height of the

103
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 4: Bridge Garden fame, had people around me that loved me

104
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 4: so much that noticed I was having those very very

105
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 4: dark thoughts. And I got help very early on, and

106
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: I still bravely, and I'm not ashamed to admit I

107
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 4: still have a psychiatrist, and have you know, psychologists and

108
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 4: no one should ever feel ashamed of that because you

109
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: don't have control over that. It is that easy, just

110
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: choose to be.

111
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: It's not a logical thought.

112
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 4: It is as simple as a diabetic having a low

113
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 4: blood sugar account. My brain just doesn't produce those serotonin levels.

114
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: And no one questions when a family has you know

115
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: that gene that causes breast cancer. That you know, and

116
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: it happened to lots of women and they in a

117
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: one line of family. No one questions that, or you know,

118
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: so yes, it is a chemical imbalance in the brain.

119
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: Depression for the most part.

120
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: Sometimes yes, and sometimes it can be circumstantial. I have

121
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 4: a double whemming. Yeah, I also have PTSD. So I

122
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 4: had probably eleven or twelve years of witnessing pretty horrific

123
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: violence at home and I could never really admit that,

124
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: couldn't really talk about that, didn't know how to process that.

125
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 4: And as many of us know, if you don't deal

126
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 4: with that, it's almost like your sorrows. They learn how

127
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 4: to swim. You can try to drown them, but they

128
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: they will haunt you until you really learn how to

129
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 4: deal with them. And so that had been a challenge

130
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 4: in music and this wonderful career I've been given. I'm

131
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: so grateful for it. I'm so grateful for the songs

132
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 4: and fans and these moments I got to escape into,

133
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 4: which I love. Yeah, you know I love being on stage.

134
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 4: Of course, that's amazing.

135
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: And you have that, You've got that creditble moment, that talent.

136
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: And it's the storytelling. I guess you learn to tell

137
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: stories as a coping mechanism when you're absolutely with that.

138
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: I Lisa mentioned this is not a story of excess

139
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: and thrown TVs and pools or whatever. It's a rock

140
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: or pop star. There's also some really heartwarming stories, and

141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: one of you not being a star but being a

142
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: fan of Stevie Nicks and huge. That sounded like a

143
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: big day there in Brazil, outside there at the Hilton

144
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: there in Brisbane. Yes, you're just a kid, right, Why?

145
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: Yes, this is what I was. I was fifteen and

146
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 4: my big sister who introduced me to music, Fleetwood math

147
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 4: for touring, and we just love Stevie Nicks and we,

148
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 4: I guess like creepers. We do it outside the hotel

149
00:08:54,120 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 4: at a very respectful distance all day, but we saw

150
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 4: the limos come and go and her tour manager came

151
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 4: over to us and he said, who are you waiting for?

152
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 4: And we said Stevie Nicks. And I can share this

153
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 4: now because Stevie has been very public about this, and

154
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 4: years later I've met her and she's so wonderful. But

155
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 4: at the time the world didn't really know. Stevie was

156
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: struggling with addiction. And the tour manager said, listen, she's

157
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 4: not having a great day, she's not leaving for hours.

158
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 4: Do me a favor. It will make her day if

159
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 4: you come and say hi to her. But go away

160
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 4: for a couple of hours and come back and you'll

161
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 4: make her day. So we laughed, and then we thought, well,

162
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: I think he just she did the switch a ruin us.

163
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: She's probably gone out of the back door. But we

164
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 4: trusted him. Sure enough, two hours later we went back

165
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 4: to this hotel and he brought a very frail Stevie

166
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 4: Nicks out and she saw us, and she held our

167
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: hands and she looked into our eyes, and I felt

168
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 4: seen when everything else in my life was chaos, she

169
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 4: looked at me. Not only did it lift her up,

170
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: but I gave her a gift. I gave her some

171
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: red rosary bees and she said, I'm going to wear

172
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 4: these tonight. She gave me a hug, she signed my album,

173
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 4: She got into a limo. It drove off, then it stopped.

174
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 4: It reversed right back in front of us. Her window

175
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 4: wound down, and she said, wait, do you have tickets

176
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 4: to the show? And we said of course, and she

177
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 4: said okay, and then she drove off. I never forgot. Yeah,

178
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 4: I never forgot that kindness. And I feel that same

179
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: connection to fans today. I know what it's like to

180
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 4: have the power to do a little thing that can

181
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 4: make someone's day, and I'm so grateful to that.

182
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: That's an amazing, great story.

183
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: The book.

184
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 3: We could talk all day.

185
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: We really have to let you go.

186
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: It really needs to be subtitled Lovable, by the way,

187
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: And I should point out it does cover the split

188
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: of Savage Garden.

189
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: I want to.

190
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like it's the definitive story, isn't it

191
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: of what went down there? Because there's been a lot

192
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: of speculation and you've copped it over the years, and

193
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: I think it's it's good that you've finally been able

194
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: to tell that story about how Savage God.

195
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: I just don't think it ever really got published. Yeah,

196
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 4: for me, it was just a chance to just kind

197
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 4: of so I don't have to keep talking about it. Yes,

198
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 4: Daniel's unhappy he left. I got blamed for it.

199
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

200
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 4: I had always hoped that he would get in the

201
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: moment say it was his decision. Years later, he eventually did,

202
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: but at the time when I really needed him to

203
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: own that he did and those things unkind. Yeah, you

204
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 4: know it didn't stick and it was very hard. But anyway,

205
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 4: it's all good, you know, life moving on. I love

206
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 4: my life, I love my job, and I'm really grateful

207
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 4: for your time today. So thank you.

208
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: Good catch up there The Lovable.

209
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: Darren Hayes's book Unlovable is out now.

210
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: Darren lovely to catch.

211
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: Up with you. We'll see on the next to it. Yeah, absolutely,

212
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: more CZ more Lisa, more podcasts soon.

213
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: It is World Kindness Day. World Kindness Day was introduced

214
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety eight by the World Kindness Movement, a

215
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 2: coalition of nations kindness in geos. It is observed in

216
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: many countries, including, of course Australia, Canada, Nigeria, the United States, Singapore,

217
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: the United Arab Emirates and easily in India country.

218
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: I think I could go on and on. Couldn't I

219
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: can you know the one's not involved Olympic Olympic.

220
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 3: I could, but that would get very awkward.

221
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: Could I think we all know absolutely, it's not particular.

222
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: But look, we want to talk about random acts of kindness.

223
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 2: Maybe you were on the receiving end of one, maybe

224
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: you witnessed one, maybe you were the performer of the

225
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: random act.

226
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: A lot of people are much happy to give and receive.

227
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool.

228
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: Yes, anything recently.

229
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: Not recently, but many years ago. A good radio friend

230
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: of mine, and you will know the name Dean Kellett,

231
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: was a real charming gentlemen.

232
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 5: Was it?

233
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: What a lovely, lovely man radio salesman, But he was

234
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: so much more than that, and Dean good mate. He went.

235
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: He knew not how much I loved the band Steely Dan.

236
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: And when Steely Dan finally toured Australia, Dino went and

237
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: lined up or waited outside I think it was the

238
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: Cheriton or on one of the hotels in the city

239
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: for hours so he could get my favorite album, Gaucho.

240
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: So I didn't ask him to do it. Do it

241
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: my favorite album Gaucher. He got Donald Fagan and Walter Becker,

242
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: who are pretty reclusive kind of blokes, and they scribbled

243
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: in front of this album for me. It's in my office.

244
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: It's framed in my office now and we've lost Dean

245
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,239
Speaker 1: Kelly standing.

246
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: To that bastard. Ca Yeah, many years ago.

247
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Thank you memory. Time I walk in my office and

248
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: say that, I'll go what a gesture. That was random

249
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: acts of kinds.

250
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 3: That's lovely.

251
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: We love the text, Andave from Midland said a couple

252
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: of days ago. At the car wash, a guy was

253
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: vacuuming his car next to us, and after he finished,

254
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 2: he gave us the remaining time left on the vacuums.

255
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: Sweet.

256
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: That's nice.

257
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool.

258
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 3: Pay it forward.

259
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's before we clean it forwards. People seem to

260
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: be using the appsolote more for their parking now, but

261
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: when it was most people with their little paper ticket

262
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: on with extra time. Yeah, I'm going to change your life.

263
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: Is it to change someone else's day? It's got a

264
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: will look and go Caroline, Hi.

265
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: How are you Caroline? What's your random active kindness?

266
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 6: Many years ago there was a lady catching the bus

267
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 6: at the same stop as me on a regular basis,

268
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 6: and one morning we came clear that she'd forgotten her purse. Yeah,

269
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 6: I had no money to get on the bus ticket.

270
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 6: I happened to have two, so I lent her mind,

271
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 6: got her on the bus on a regular base issues

272
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 6: the rest of that ticket, and we ended up sitting

273
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 6: together on the way into the city every day. As

274
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 6: a result, we became very good friends and ended up

275
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 6: with a job opportunity at the workplace. She wanted a change,

276
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 6: and she ended up working with me. That's correct, min,

277
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 6: that was a really good friendship.

278
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: It's like one of those sliding doors moments, you know,

279
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: it just changes everything.

280
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: That's a sliding kindness moment.

281
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: That's brilliant. Love it, Carolyn, Thanks, have a great day.

282
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: Well see, I had a friend tell me the other

283
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: day that she and her boyfriend Matt, when she had

284
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: come phoned and work to pay for coffee. Yeah right,

285
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: and a guy behind her said, if you don't mind,

286
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: I'll get it. It's okay. And then now dating, and well,

287
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: sure what that was? This is like the City's Waiting

288
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: movie where Glenn what's his name pay for a coffee

289
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: and then there was a trouble relationship right there in

290
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: that movie. But now dating, I just went, that's such

291
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: a cool story Debbie and Thornley, Hello, good morning guys.

292
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: What's your story. Well, I heard a random active kindness

293
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: on to me. Yes a few years.

294
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 7: Ago now, I had a little minute to colleage little Shelby. Yeah,

295
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 7: he was very old and on a weekend he's back

296
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 7: and collapsed and I thought, oh, I'm going to have

297
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 7: to take him to the VET on Monday. I know

298
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 7: it's gonna you have to do that, make that decision,

299
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 7: but I was only working casual at the time, and

300
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 7: I'm thinking, how do I get the money to do this?

301
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 7: So I put a post up in one of the

302
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 7: groups I was in on Facebook and suggestions what can

303
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 7: I do? And everyone said, oh, you could do center

304
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 7: pay and all this.

305
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: So I organized all.

306
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 7: That and I got right took the dog the next

307
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 7: on the Monday with my daughter and yeah, I.

308
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 4: Did what I had to do.

309
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

310
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 7: And I went back about two weeks later and I said, look,

311
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 7: they haven't taken any money out of my bank to

312
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 7: pay for this.

313
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 4: I don't know what's happened.

314
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 7: And they said, well, your bill's paid, and I said,

315
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 7: what do you mean? And a nurse from the vet

316
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 7: had put the money in. A lady who was a

317
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 7: surgery when we actually took him in put the money in. Really, yeah,

318
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 7: that's just Facebook in my group got together and they

319
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 7: paid my whole bill. O.

320
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: That's that's that is a random act.

321
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: Just restore your faith.

322
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 7: It does, doesn't Well, yeah, I got to Yeah, I

323
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 7: got to do what I needed to do for him.

324
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 8: And I've bought it for his ashes home and I.

325
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 4: Put a post up and just thanked.

326
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 8: Everyone and everyone.

327
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, cry, can you hear something of kindness? And I

328
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 7: believe in it paying forward and I've just paid it

329
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 7: forward every moment.

330
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's great.

331
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 4: Well yeah, I still get emotional.

332
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah when they go over that rainbow bridge there.

333
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 2: But you know, it's it's hard enough without adding, you know,

334
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: stupid finance issues into the equation. I hate when finance

335
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 2: has to be involved in emotion.

336
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: It's horrible. Out of the farm.

337
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great, Thanks everybody who helped out with that situation.

338
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 3: That what is a proper random act of kindness?

339
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: Look, I'm not the only person who does this list,

340
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: but I do. I don't mind if I'm walking into

341
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: a shopping center grabbing someone's trolley if they've just unloaded

342
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: their stuff. Yeah, but I do a thing where I

343
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: wait to see if they see if they're going to

344
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: go take the trolley back, because those people are just

345
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: dump it somewhere. I don't want to help them are

346
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: They're the worst kind of people.

347
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 3: I see that, I might hit my car.

348
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: But if I see someone who's spun around and they're

349
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: deliberately heading back to take it back to their trolley place,

350
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: then I'll go, oh, look, I'm heading that way. I'll

351
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: take it for you. And people are normally pretty sweet,

352
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: but the dumpers.

353
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: I'll keep an eye out for you.

354
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but you will.

355
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: I got a couple of texts that I'd love to

356
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 2: think are maybe connected. Norell says, a few days ago

357
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 2: at Coal's, I let an older couple go ahead of

358
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 2: me at the checkout as they had less items than me.

359
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: The guy in front of them proceeded to put their

360
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: items through and paid for their shopping, and the couple

361
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: was shocked and teary and thankful, and it made me

362
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: feel good for days.

363
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: Then We've got a text a little.

364
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 2: Later from Brian and Naranda, who says, I like to

365
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: pay for some senior shopping at Coals every week because

366
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: it's expensive these days, and to see them counting the

367
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: cost in the checkout line.

368
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: Wish I could do well.

369
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: I wonder if Brian is the guy that that was

370
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 2: in the head and the realm I'm gonna, I'm gonna,

371
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 2: you know, there.

372
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: Could be three reason check out operation. Right, there's God. Yeah,

373
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: good mate, what's your random active kindness?

374
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 8: I was on the receiving end, which is nice. By

375
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 8: the time Friday comes and you know how you've just

376
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 8: had enough over everything. Yes, I like get a couple

Speaker 8: a certain place. I'm not going to put it on

379
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 8: air here because you never get one again. Yeah, but anyway,

380
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 8: the last three times, I think the lady behind the

381
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 8: counter has seen my disappointment, Like the ones I want

382
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 8: aren't there, and I mean they're vegetarian and vegan and

383
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 8: chicken ones are nice, but yeah, it's not not what

Speaker 1: You're a regular. It's a lovely yeah kind of gesture,

392
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: that is.

393
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 8: And it doesn't sound like much, but you know when

394
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 8: you got it, and it was just like winning an

395

396
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,760

Speaker 2: See how I mean. You can tell how happy it

401
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,720

00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: and I'm jealous because they've got the pies and.

403
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 3: It's often just a little thing.

404
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: You say, he got his favorites, and that's really good

405
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: business because very he's telling very.

406
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 2: Good business because he probably bought a vanilla sa lice

407
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: as well. Let's go the phones, Christine and Ellen Brookerlo.

408
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: Hello, hang we GETO is great? What have you got

409
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: for us on Willkind this day?

410
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

411
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 9: Well, thanks for having me on the station, guys. I'm

412
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 9: hope you're having a great day. So I went to

413
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 9: Bali earlier this year. It's my first strip to Bali

414
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 9: and I was down at Cuter Beach and there's a

415
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 9: really lovely lady who was messaged in my feet every day,

416
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 9: and I booked her up at five pm each day

417
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 9: and asked her about her family and her life. She

418
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 9: used to work in hospitality, but during COVID she lost

419
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 9: her employment and was really struggling. And she's got a

420
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 9: few boys aged from nine to fifteen, or I think

421
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 9: one could be a little bit younger as well. And

422
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 9: she said that for some would like to go to university,

423
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 9: so she tries to save a buck few dollars every day.

424
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 9: And before I left, I said, look, I've had a

425
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 9: bit of a think I would like to sponsor your

426
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 9: son to the university, and so I do. So he's finishing

427
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 9: high school this year, but I've already started sponsoring and

428
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 9: he was able to buy a laptop for his birthday

429
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 9: a few weeks ago that he would need for universities

430
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 9: and he's planning to go into it. So I'm really

431
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 9: happy that I can hopefully try and break the cycle

432
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 9: of poverty in the family to get something through university.

433
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 9: And then I'll see if I'm able to be able

434
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 9: to help arrange to bring him out here at some

435
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 9: stage when he graduates in four years. As so, and say,

436
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 9: you know, I'm not sure. It's a bit down the track.

437
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: That's beautiful, Christy, great day, great day.

438
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: From up in Ellenbrook. Cristall, let's go down to Singleton.

439
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: Craig is the glazy good mine.

440
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 3: Craig got to your act of kindness.

441
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 10: I was at the Child's Garden hospital, just been the

442
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 10: last couple of hours with my father, and just head

443
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 10: end of the car park. My places all over the

444
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 10: head and I couldn't pay for parking.

445
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 4: I didn't know how to do it.

446
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 10: I just and this guy behind me just put his

447
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 10: arm over over me and paid paid for.

448
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 8: His card twenty bucks.

449
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 10: I think I just turned around and gave him a

450
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 10: big hug and broke down.

451
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, amazing. He probably knew what was going on,

452
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: a rough idea.

453
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 10: Oh he had no idea, but I'm sure he had

454
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 10: some idea.

455
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, some things, some moments are just unspoken, aren't they.

456
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: And I bet he understood exactly what was happening. That's beautiful, Pray.

457
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool in a situation that made me go yeah,

458
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: absolutely yeah, hopefully thanks Mane Cray.

459
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 10: So you guys, more Clesy, more Lisa, more podcasts soon.

460
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: A sure report on ninety six am.

461
00:23:54,840 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: The wonderful, wonderful British actress in Meldostaunton is now a day.

462
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: Okay it's a tenuous link, but hi, any chance showed you.

463
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 2: William did the honors making a Melder a Dame Commander

464
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: of the British Empire and a ceremony at Windsor Castle.

465
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 2: She joined a number of stars, including Simon Labon from

466
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 2: Juran Duran in receiving a royal honor. Of course, Imelda

467
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: played the queen in the last two seasons of the Crown,

468
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: so that had to be a bit weird for William.

469
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: Big rang a little bit.

470
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,200

Speaker 2: announced overnight that Denzel's going to star in the third

473
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 2: Black Panther movie. He says, I'm only interested in working

474
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 2: with the best. I don't know how many more films

475
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to make, probably not that many, and I

476
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: want to do things I haven't done. We are next

477
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,840

Speaker 2: is finally being released in the format it's filmmakers intended now.

482
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 2: The format details sixteen millimeters versus thirty five are a

483
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: bit out of my wheelhouse understanding, but suffice to say

484
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: we will be even more up close and personal with that.

485
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 3: Heather chick snotty nose.

486
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: It was scary. I thought nothing really happened, but it

487
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: didn't have to do it.

488
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:36,800

Speaker 2: Gwyneth Paltrow has released her famous Goop Christmas gift guide.

492
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 2: It is as outrageous as ever, with sex toys, a

493
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 2: sex pillow, I have no idea what that is, and

494

Speaker 2: a fifty five dollars sex oil. So what we're calling

495
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,520

498
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: The description reads an air pulsing sex toy for penis

499
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: owners owners. End quote. I think I'll stick with Oprah's

505
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: released in February nineteen ninety one. I cannot believe that

506
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 2: it was February nineteen ninety one. I can still remember

507
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 2: the first time I saw it on whatever, I saw.

508
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: It on a rage or time flies when you're rocking

509
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: with the Gurus?

510
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: That How's that lead single from their fifth studio album, Kinky.

511
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: The song peaked at number nineteen on the ARIA charts

512
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 2: and number three on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks in

513
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: June of two thousand. Dave Faulkner said it was written

514
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: on the morning after the events described in the song.

515
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 3: Although I gave them some embellishment.

516
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and we've spoken to Davis. We mentioned earlier this

517
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: morning many many times over the years, and they never

518
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: shied away, the Giros from the fact that they love

519
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: sixties pop culture and all things groovy. But the song, well,

520
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: Dave tell the story.

521
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 4: MS.

522
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 5: Freelove was literally written in my flat, which about two

523
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 5: hundred meters from where I'm living now, and I was

524
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 5: there for a long time nineteen years actually, and it

525
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 5: was just one. We played two of Japan. I came

526
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 5: back with a bottle of saki in my suitcase. It

527
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 5: wasn't the first time I drunk saki, but it was,

528
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 5: you know, brought off from Japan because I was there

529
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 5: and my friends dropped in a couple of friends and

530
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 5: Midge opened the saki, and then a couple more came around,

531
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 5: and then more psaki, then more wine and beer whatever.

532
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 5: It was like before you know, it was like two

533
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 5: in the morning, the cops are banding on the door,

534
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 5: and as you know, there's a bit of a swinging

535
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 5: party going on. So that was a story that I

536
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 5: worked up next day with a smile on my face

537
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 5: and just wrote the song in about twenty minutes. I mean,

538
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 5: I've been wanting to write a song with that groove

539
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 5: for about year and hadn't managed it. Attempted a few

540
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 5: times and didn't quite gell. But that party, that experience

541
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 5: seemed perfect for that groove, and it just came together quickly.

542
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 5: But the lyrics are literally what happened in the story

543
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 5: in the song, other than the fact in the song,

544
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 5: I changed the ending to give it a happier ending

545
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 5: where the police actually joined the party in the song,

546
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 5: but in the reality it was actually just a tapping ending.

547
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 5: They threatened me with saying we come back, it'll be

548
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 5: a huge fine. I'm I don't know whatever, and so

549
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 5: off they went and never came back anyway, So we

550
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 5: kept partying. So it was a happy ending both stories,

551
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 5: you know, the real one and the thing. But I

552
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 5: made the song, as I say, he changed the story

553
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 5: a little bit to make it a bit more universal.

554
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: It's cool that the song says that the cops came

555
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: and joined the party. Absolutely well.

556
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 2: The sitshar in the song was a bit of a

557
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: curiosity though that wasn't suckies. When one of the many

558
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: times we've spoken to Dave was in twenty twenty two

559
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: and he talked to us about it.

560
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 11: Then, Yeah, speaking of parties, there's a bit of a yes,

561
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 11: which is actually it's actually stolen that that's never mind

562
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 11: yself from it from the party, from the movie The Party,

563
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 11: Peter Sellers at the beginning, he's playing a sitter, and

564
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 11: we just sampled that.

565
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: We didn't tell anyone's word. We were talking about the party.

566
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: Just the day before yesterday, we were talking about your

567
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: favorite of a comedy movie, and I said the party

568
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: is mine.

569
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: And I favorite it's ye can't. It's hard to beat

570
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of thving there. Love it, I love

571
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: the sample. Crazy and Lisa ninety six
