00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: from the movie Independence Day.

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: Well, I thought he might know from riding bikes. Yes,

25
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: because he's a man of machines.

26
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: He punches a hole in the floor in the road

27
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: rather than and he did his body party.

28
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,400

00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: Okay, So James, how are you going?

30
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,319

Speaker 2: In Iso? You were going to go on two all

32
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: kinds of things. How are you dealing with all this

33
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 2: at home?

34
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: Well? I'm starting to go a bit crazy. I mean

35
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: I try and get out once a day. I go

36
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: for a runner, a long walk and just get out

37
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: of the house. Also, where a little Victoria's of being

38
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: a bit more bit stricter than the rest of the state.

39
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: So we're still I think from tonight we're about to

40
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: go and visit your family. I think it's all be confusing.

41
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I've been reading a lot riding getting out

42
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: of the house. You know, the gardens never looked so good.

43
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, like everybody waiting for it

44
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: to be over.

45
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: You've been doing a few online concerts. How does that feel?

46
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: I mean there's no one to heckle apart from your

47
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: own pets and things, and you can can't really complain

48
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: about your backstage rider with the food and situations, you know,

49
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: how what's the how does it feel?

50
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: Well? We've done I did a couple sold with Mark

51
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 1: Seymour and I've done some stuff at the palat Theater,

52
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: an empty Pallet Theeter in Melbourne. We're going to do one.

53
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: We're going to film one next Tuesday, observing all social distancing.

54
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: Of course, it's sort of weird. I mean, it's good,

55
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: it's good that we can play, but it is quite

56
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: different than there's no audience immediate feedback, so it's sort

57
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: of do you finish the song, go okay, thank you.

58
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's a bit odd watching it.

59
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 3: Was like watching the footy. I was watching the NRL

60
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: before it came down. They had the empty stadiums, but

61
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: I didn't know how to what happened. They clearly scored

62
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: a try because there was no noise or any Now

63
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 3: is that a try? Has that happened?

64
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: Well, that's why we have laugh tracks on sitcoms and

65
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: things to tell us. Why we look to everyone else

66
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: to see how they're responding to things, don't we?

67
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well exactly. I mean I watched the first AFL

68
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: in the first AFL game from most people like watching

69
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: footy practice or something weird, run around waving.

70
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: Sorry, I was just going to say, it's extraordinary. The

71
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: Boys light Up fortieth Anniversary is this year forty years?

72
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: Would you ever have imagined that you'd still be doing

73
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: your music and still be touring. It's fantastic.

74
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, And I wouldn't have imagined it if

75
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: you told me when that song, well, that record came

76
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: out and you'll be doing still we do this in

77
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: forty years, I would have gone, sorry, excuse me for

78
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: forty years and I'll be what sixty Yeah, well, its

79
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: lovely though I can been able to kind of maintain

80
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: some sort of career and we do have it. We

81
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: still have a tour. It's booked for the end of

82
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: the year and a lot of tickets have been sold.

83
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm being realistic in the sense we

84
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: may have to move it. At the moment, it's still

85
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: in place, but because it's November December, but I'm pretty

86
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: sure we'll probably have to move it. Man.

87
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: That record cover is the sexiest called cover ever the

88
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: boys laid up cover as a young man when that came.

89
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: Out, that was this which of the guys we're looking at.

90
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: The boys are standing in the water, a naked girl

91
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: on the beach, and that was just it was so sexy.

92
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: Brendan, He's disappeared somewhere.

93
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: She was a friend of ours, and I'm still friends.

94
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: With her really, so as she would you think of

95
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: redoing that cover?

96
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: I see, I could see where you were going without

00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: and you're making sure you said the right way. Yes,

98

Speaker 2: You go wow, because how old would she be now?

100
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: She'd be sixty, she'd be probably mid to late fifties.

101
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: I'd be happy to see that.

102
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,719

106
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: and her name is Sally Bailey. I'm sure she doesn't

107
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: mind me saying that. And she lives around the corner,

108
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: around the corner, sort of around the corner from me,

109
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,719
