Speaker 1: about it?

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,520

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: know that you know everyone was in lockdown, but you've

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: also been writing books. How'd you find time to do

9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 2: all this?

10
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm a bit hyperactive, as you well know,

11
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: Amanda so So in Lockdown. For the first month or

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: so of Lockdown, I was sort of like bouncing off

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: the walls like a bee in a jar, you know,

14
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: because I'm because I'm hyper And once I saidled, once

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: I started to calm down, I just looked for things

16
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: to do. And you know, besides Jane and I doing

17
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: two hundred songs for the Internet, yeah, I wrote a

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: kid's book. Jane and I have written a cookbook. I've

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: I've started writing two lots of fiction that we're going

20
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: to put out sooner or later. And I've made two albums.

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: So one album I'm going to release and I'll let

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: you know about the other one later. It was a

23
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: really big surprise. So So and I finished, I finished

24
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: both the records, so you know, there was you know,

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: I just find myself sitting around because I'm so used

26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: to being on the road and doing stuff every day,

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: I just find myself sitting with lots of time, so,

28
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, and I think coming from from doing all

29
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: these different types of music that I did with the

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: Jane Barns band, you know on on on the internet,

31
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: it sort of inspired me to sort of look at

32
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: different ways of writing songs and and and and and

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: inspired my meet you write lyrics. So suddenly I had

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: all these songs some of my head. So we uh,

35
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: it was easy to make the records.

36
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: And you're writing a fiction. What sort of fiction are

37
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: you writing, Jimmy.

38
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: It's it's basically a horror story for me on my

39
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: own life.

40
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: There's a happy ending it.

41
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: From inside here three that's a horror story.

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: You're the only person I know that could watch Snowtown

43
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: and sit there and watch you and say, oh, you

44
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 3: know what, this is just like my life. I'm going

45
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: to write them.

46
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: It was true. It looked like where I grew up.

47
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 1: It was like my street looks like my host couldn't

48
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: believe it.

49
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,000

53
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,120

64
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 4: you know, it's pretty much a family affair. And and

65
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 4: you know, my family have been playing touring with me

66
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: for years, so they all know exactly what I do

67
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 4: on record and on on stage. And you know, they

68
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 4: just brought this great, great energy to the to the

69
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: whole thing, the whole project.

70
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: And it's handy when it comes to paying them as well,

71
00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: you know, how does that?

72
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but you know, but people said to me,

73
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: heart it must be great he must get. You know,

74
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: it's much cheaper having your family. It costs me twice

75
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: as much by all the dinners. You know, we don't

76
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: want to go economy.

77
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: Because it does come to that. When does it come

78
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: to the point where you're not paying for dinner anymore?

79
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: Because that's a nice I remember my transition.

80
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that's ever going to happen, because there was.

81
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: A when I was young, there was a I remember

82
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 3: there was a transition where Dad used to pay. Dad

83
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: used to pay, and then one time I offered to pay,

84
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: and I reckon. I was about thirty one, and then

85
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: that's it. That's my life now. I always just pay.

86
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: You do it now? No, I don't think that's going

87
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: to happen for a while. That's a big It's sort

88
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: of like the handing over of the of the of

89
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: the sword or something along with the volet. Yeah. I

90
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: think I'm going to hang on to it as long

91
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: as it came.

92
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: Maybe Dave, maybe Davy could because he makes a lot

93
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: of that TV money these days.

94
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we then we use some of that money.

95
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: Come on, come on, do you know wish you'd have

96
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: more children or to make it easier on the road,

97
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: or that have been harder.

98
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: That'd be harder. Maybe I could have got a few

99
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: that didn't think so well, so it could be road.

100
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: Someone useful, like an accountant'd be handy.
