00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: the show, we're a call from a very charming young man, Evander.

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: At the end of the call, this is how he

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: signs off. I've been doing this Lork almost twenty four years.

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: No one's ever signed off like this.

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 2: Thank you for your time, Christian, still love them. Thank

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: you for your time, Christians.

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: I never hear it again, but just to get that

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: once in a career is a beautiful moment, you know. Anyway,

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: while we're chatting to him, towards the end of the call,

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: I was saying how well spoken he was, and Evander,

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: I've got to say, what do you want to do

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: when you grow up? Who've got any idea? Because if

14
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: you ever want to do radio, you have a great

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: way of talking. You could easily take over from me.

16
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: Oh thanks Christian, Yeah, what.

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: Do you want to do with Vander?

18
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: I want to own my own robotics engineering company.

19
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: Yep, go over that. Then. It's one of the hardest

20
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: passes we ever had on the show. And whatever he

21
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: literally passed away. Those headphones have my being handed over

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: to the young Padawana so that I'll have so much

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: money I'd own the station and the group that own

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: all the other stations with my robotics company. I love

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: the ambition. I believe in Evander he will do that.

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: I believe in Evanda will more than I believe in myself.

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: I want to own my own robotics engineering company.

28
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: You go for it, you go for it. And it

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: reminded me of the dreams we all had at fourteen.

30
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: We all have various dreams at fourteen or what you'll

31
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: think the future of your life and the future grown

32
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: up you is going to be Jack? What was it

33
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: for you? Rockstar at fourteen?

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: One hundred percent rockstar had the guitar out had was

35
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 3: trying to cobble together a band at.

36
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: My high school.

37
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: And you know, I enjoy this job. But imagine me

38
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: traveling the world now on stage the next huge rock band.

39
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: You guys would be wanting to interview me. Are you

40
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 3: still there?

41
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: Yeah?

42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't think it was going to take

43
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: a turn like that. I thought that sort of would

44
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: be a nice thing just to talk about, just you know,

45
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: the dreams were at fourteen. I don't really want to

46
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: get called some people who then are going to sort

47
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: of say where they are right now and you're you. Also,

48

Speaker 3: I love this job.

51
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: Earlier I heard about earlier. I like this job. But

52
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: what would the band have been called? Then? The band

53
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 1: that should have become the big thing?

54
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: I had a few names lined up. One was show Pony.

55
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: Say No More and the other ones love the name

56
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: show Pony, going to show pony from now on. You

57
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: are like a show pony. You did become show pony

58
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: in a way. You are this show's pony. You're a

59
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: beautiful little pony, and sometimes you gotta be real careful

60
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: with that pony. You give you a little nip or

61
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: give you a little kick. You don't know what he

62
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: get in with that pony, but he's a beautiful pony

63
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: in that paddock.

64
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: The other band name was the high Rollers.

65
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: Oh dear, terrible, terrible.

66
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: But show funny because we weren't high rollers. That was

67
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: so people would be like, ah, they're just like you

68
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 3: and me, but they're pretending to be high rollers.

69
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: I think we know what stopped you achieving those dreams.

70
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: I want to own my own robotics engineering company.

71
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: He's not alternaty, he's not got show, Pony right or

72
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: the high Rollers. He's just got that robotics company.

73
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: I want to own my own robotics engineering company.

74
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: Yesterday when I said, oh, it's like a fan of

75
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, he actually want this, I can take God

76
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,000

77
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: at fourteen, what were your dreams?

78
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 5: My dream was to become an FM newsreader for a

Speaker 1: dear God, please protect my family in FM. Do you

82
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: know what that is? God? It's frequency modulation.

83
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 5: In my dream, God, if I could.

84
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: In a metro station, not stuck out here in the

85
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: middle of nowhere.

86
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: Well, that's exactly how I felt. I was doing community radio.

Speaker 4: Yeah, my dream at fourteen was to become a professional

136
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 4: Formula one driver overseas.

137
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So, like Lewis Hamilton, you want to be

138
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: that level.

139
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I ended up self funding a go kart when

140
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 4: I was seventeen and so I took a part time job.

141
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: A super much it's a leth or. My mate wanted

142
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: to be a four whelaw one driver as well. He

143
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: was a crazy Irish kidney. He had his go krt

144
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: and his mum and dad were ferrying him around every

145
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: weekend those races. So Hamilton's where they all start, isn't it.

146
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean obviously Matt Hamilton, Mark Webber who was

147
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 4: sort of my year, he took the dream and went overseas.

148
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 4: But yeah, they all start and go cut Christians. So yes,

149
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 4: I made a start. But it's a competitive industry as

150
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 4: you probably know. And you know a lot of guys

151
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 4: want to get to the top and a lot of

152
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 4: guys angels want to get to the top. But civil

153
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: engineer these days, star design roads. I don't race on

154
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 4: them these days. So there you go.

155
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: But you should enjoy for me to one of it.

156
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, of course.

157
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great sports not to see. You know,
