But we did hang out and 53 00:02:33,483 --> 00:02:35,563 Speaker 2: there'd be a couple of times. When my book came 54 00:02:35,564 --> 00:02:38,044 Speaker 2: out in twenty seventeen, I went for an interview with 55 00:02:38,124 --> 00:02:42,804 Speaker 2: him and it was quite of a hostile interview, but 56 00:02:43,444 --> 00:02:45,924 Speaker 2: it was. It went for half an hour, and my 57 00:02:46,004 --> 00:02:47,564 Speaker 2: agent later on she said, what the hell was that 58 00:02:47,603 --> 00:02:49,404 Speaker 2: all about?

I remember the first time 61 00:02:55,163 --> 00:02:56,924 Speaker 2: we spoke to him on our radio show. I think 62 00:02:56,964 --> 00:02:59,404 Speaker 2: this is probably about twenty twelve thereabouts. 63 00:02:59,724 --> 00:03:00,684 Speaker 1: What are you blaming me for? 64 00:03:01,004 --> 00:03:02,883 Speaker 2: Well, and we lost you on the line.

I said, what's Lawsy? It's like 73 00:03:23,603 --> 00:03:25,004 Speaker 2: he hates you, and he goes, yeah, you don't know. 74 00:03:25,244 --> 00:03:27,204 Speaker 2: Kyle said the same thing. Sometimes I think that he 75 00:03:27,284 --> 00:03:29,964 Speaker 2: just hates me, but he didn't. He just had that. 76 00:03:31,124 --> 00:03:31,884 Speaker 1: It was just him. 77 00:03:32,284 --> 00:03:34,204 Speaker 2: It was just him. And we remember we did a 78 00:03:34,204 --> 00:03:39,164 Speaker 2: co lab with him and the dollies, so the dollies, 79 00:03:39,644 --> 00:03:43,004 Speaker 2: so I approached him. So the dollies and our little 80 00:03:43,044 --> 00:03:45,444 Speaker 2: dolls were in our TV had and we're going to 81 00:03:45,484 --> 00:03:48,724 Speaker 2: be hosting the Radio Awards Radio's Night of Nights, which 82 00:03:48,764 --> 00:03:52,604 Speaker 2: is sadly no longer the ACRA Awards. So the dollies 83 00:03:52,724 --> 00:03:55,084 Speaker 2: were sent out into the land to find the greatest 84 00:03:55,324 --> 00:03:59,004 Speaker 2: radio host and we were enrolled by none other than 85 00:03:59,084 --> 00:04:00,484 Speaker 2: John Laws. 86 00:04:00,004 --> 00:04:00,964 Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda. 87 00:04:01,084 --> 00:04:01,524 Speaker 3: He'll see. 88 00:04:01,684 --> 00:04:05,284 Speaker 1: Now, go and find me the greatest ACRO hosts in 89 00:04:05,324 --> 00:04:05,924 Speaker 1: the land. 90 00:04:06,363 --> 00:04:08,404 Speaker 3: Wait, they've got to be good. 91 00:04:08,604 --> 00:04:11,604 Speaker 1: They've got to each do not fail me. 92 00:04:12,204 --> 00:04:17,443 Speaker 2: I can keep your hero.
