Speaker 4: Hi, I am indeed. Look, I support a charity that

18
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 4: I established called Heart of the Nation to raise awareness

19
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 4: about sudden cardiac arrest and the importance of the chain

20
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 4: of survival which can save the life of people in

21
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 4: who are in cardiac arrest. So that's what I dedicate

22
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 4: most of my time to these days.

23
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: What incredible story of your life?

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: Then you're going to go from being well one of

25
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: the biggest bands in the world, which is what the

26
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: Wigers became. And then yeah, I mean you are literally

27
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: here chances because of what someone was able to do,

28
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: who did have the knowledge to help you when you

29
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: had the heart attack.

30
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was a heart attack that led to

31
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 4: a cardiac arrest. And without the intervention of bystanders who

32
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: knew how to do CPR, and the fact that there

33
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: was an AED or a fibrillator at the venue where

34
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: we were playing, I probably wouldn't.

35
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: Be here today.

36
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 4: So I do owe my life to this thing called

37
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 4: the Chain of Survival and those four people that played

38
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 4: their part in it that night.

39
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: Do you know, I feel pretty bad because obviously doing

40
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 2: this show, right there's only a small team. There's no

41
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: one else in the radio station right now, Greg, It's

42
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: just me and my team. I think there's eight of

43
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: us here, none of us. None of us right, no

44
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: any first day, and this could happen to, you know,

45
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: to any of us.

46
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: I feel pretty bad.

47
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: So I think I'm going to now that you're on,

48
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to try and find someone to

49
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: come in and teach us what to do.

50
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 4: Great, Well, that's good. See that's what my charity is

51
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: all about, raising awareness to make people think about it,

52
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: because you know, around twenty two and a half thousand

53
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 4: Australians every year lose their life to sudden cardiac arrest

54
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: and it's got like this incredibly high morbidity rate. Only

55
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: ten percent of people survive a sudden cardiac arrest out

56
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 4: of hospital. So I was incredibly lucky, and that's why

57
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 4: I've set up this charity to raise awareness. And you know,

58
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: one of the things we do is try to promote

59
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 4: the location of AEDs in the community or the fibrillators,

60
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 4: So if anybody listening has an AED, they can actually

61
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 4: sign up to become a member of Heart of a Nation.

62
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 4: It's free, and we send you a sticker that says

63
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 4: Heart of a Nation AED inside and you can place

64
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 4: it on the door or window of your business so

65
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 4: people outside know that you've got what it takes to

66
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 4: try to save the life of someone who's in cardiac arrest.

67
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 4: And that's one of our main missions.

68
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: This is amazing.

69
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: So you where did it go from, you know, having

70
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: your life saved to then this is your mission now

71
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: in life?

72
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: This yeah, pretty much is made the way I look

73
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 4: at it is. If it wasn't for the chain of survival,

74
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be here. So I dedicate my life now

75
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 4: to trying to save other lives because I said that

76
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 4: the survival rate is so low, but we know that

77
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: the chain of survival can really make a difference to

78
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 4: the survival rate, and it can really increase it. So

79
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 4: the more people that know about it, the more people

80
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: that have access to it, and these particularly these devices,

81
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: these AEDs, can make a massive difference to survival. So

82
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 4: knowing CPR is step one, having access to an AED,

83
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: but you know, being able to call triple zero in

84
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: the event of somebody falling to the ground, not breathing

85
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 4: and not responding, that's the first step called triple zero

86
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 4: straight away start the chain of survival there. Then move

87
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: on to CPR. If the person is not not breathing,

88
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: then grab an AED and use it to shock them

89
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 4: as quickly as you can, and that will increase their

90
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: chance of surviving drastically.

91
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: Do you know what what it's on to be live right?

92
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: I did not know would be getting life saving advice

93
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: from one of the founding members of the Wiggles, But

94
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: that's live right now.

95
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: I'm grateful for it.

96
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: Great, good on you mate. Well, look I tell you what,

97
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: I'm really glad that I got to ring up and

98
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 4: speak with you. I hope that things in Victoria are

99
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 4: going well. It's of a mess all around Australia at

100
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 4: the moment, but I'm in Sydney and you know, it's

101
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 4: a pretty bad state of affairs. But there's always hope

102
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 4: and I believe it. We will come out the other side.

103
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: What life looks like. We don't know that life will

104
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 4: go on.

105
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: It doesn't tell me this. They're right.

106
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: So when you're back in the Wiggles, right, how many

107
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: nights did you set out Madison Square Guarden?

108
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: Well, with daytimes, actually we did.

109
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: The same, but it's still like twenty thousand.

110
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 3: How many shows did you set out?

111
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 4: No, look, we did thirteen shows at Madison Square guard You're.

112
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: Being modest about the only reason I know that you

113
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: sold out quite a few nights because years ago I

114
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: was interviewing Chris Martin from Coldplay. He was telling me

115
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: this story about they just come from America and they

116
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: just managed to set out the garden. It's a big

117
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: moment in any band's life, especially brit'sband, to set out

118
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden twenty one thousand people, and he was

119
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: so excited.

120
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 3: His mum and dad were like, get a photo.

121
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: You're at the front that iconic marquee and sold out Coldplay.

122
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: So's he goes out there on the tech crew right

123
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: to keep an eye hi, because he's out in the

124
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: streets of Manhattan to take a photo of it, right,

125
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 2: and he sees co Play sold out and then he's like,

126
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 2: who the hell are the Wiggles, right, this is like

127
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: twelve sold out shows. He goes, oh, there's some kids

128
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: ban from Australia. It's like, damn it, just what do

129
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: you think you've made it in show business? There's someone

130
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: someone else doing better than you? Say, yeah, incredible, Yeah.

131
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 4: Look, we had an incredible time at that time of

132
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 4: our lives there in the US was particularly you know,

133
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 4: it was the peak We're doing massive venues. We were

134
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 4: doing venues that held ten twenty thousand. It was Yeah,

135
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 4: it was very very special. And the amazing thing is

136
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: that those times that we spent playing, performing, live, creating

137
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 4: DVDs and TV shows has embedded itself in people's lives

138
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 4: who are now, you know, in their late twenties even

139
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 4: early thirty. Some of these people and it's you know,

140
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 4: it generates those fond memories of their childhood, which I

141
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 4: think is really special. And they've got a deep connection

142
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: to the Wiggles which enables the Ogs to still be

143
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: able to do those shows where we performed to the

144
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: over eighteens.

145
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I mean, honestly, our wife and I owe

146
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 2: you a huge out of thanks. You know, I honestly

147
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: raised both of us. I think actually you were kind

148
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: of like free babysitters. I were just plunging down my

149
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: daughters in front of the Whiggles thinking they you know,

150
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: it's healthy stuff. They're learning about numbers, importance of eating

151
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: fruit and to chugger chugger and fruit salads. I thought

152
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: it was very important what you did. No, seriously, there

153
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: were so many mums and dads all the world. I

154
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: came to see you when you did You're in London,

155
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 2: and took my daughter to come and see you. And

156
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: you would have seen this many many nights where there's

157
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: obviously not just normal mums and dads, but there's show

158
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: what I call high end showbiz parents. I was you

159
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: invited me to come and see you all beforehand, and

160
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: there were two Spice girls there and the deputy bride,

161
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: mister all at the Saturday Mattine once we could all

162
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: get the kids back before they started to get a

163
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: bit scratchy.

164
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 3: But you had all kinds of showbis turning up to

165
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: your shows, didn't you.

166
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, look, the Wiggles was the great level I

167
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 4: wasn't it. You know, if you could get anybody there,

168
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 4: as you say, in the US, we had people like

169
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 4: Jerry Seinfiled, Robert de Niro. They'd come to see Wiggles

170
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 4: and it was really quite incredible.

171
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 3: Did you ever see them in the audience?

172
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it look particularly DeNiro because we knew he was

173
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: coming to the show, but he was running late and

174
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 4: he was supposed to come backstage and meet us before

175
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 4: the show, but he wasn't there, and we were holding

176
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 4: the show, waiting and waiting and waiting. Eventually we had

177
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: to start the show without him having a ride. No, no,

178
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 4: we didn't want to. And a few songs in we

179
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: see this man and his family make his way through

180
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 4: the crowd, and then it's de Niro and we all

181
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: looked at each other on the stage and here and

182
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 4: then a little bit later in the show, he's sitting

183
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: down eating popcorn like that scene out of Cape Fear.

184
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 4: What's he actually thinking of?

185
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: Laugh? Right?

186
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, look, it was quite incredible and you would

187
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 4: sometimes spot people in the crowd and it was that

188
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 4: moment of just total surrealism where these people you watched

189
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: on the screen for many years would be then at

190
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 4: the show watching you, and you'd be thinking, my gosh,

191
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: I hope, I'm I hope, I'm doing okay, you know

192

193
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: a show in the US, so did John Fogey. It

194
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 4: was yeah, it was very very surreal, but very pleasing

195
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 4: at the same time.

196
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,800

00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: in your sleep.

267
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,960

268
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,000

269
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 2: as a kid, I love the Police Academy movies. You

270
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,520

Speaker 5: done and a lot of fun. And I have a

274
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 5: lot to old. Police Academy really started my career commercially

275
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 5: in a big way.

276
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: Now as an actor who's done lots of movies, there

277
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: must have been in the eighties when you get so

278
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: many offers, there must have been movies that you just

279
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: say no to because you don't know what's going to

280
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: work and what's not going to work. How there any

281
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: being big movies that went on to become big box

282
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: office successes that you said no to back in the day.

283
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 5: Steve, Well, you know there were I got offered pretty

284
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 5: much everything uh that was that Tom Hanks wasn't doing.

285
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 5: Uh you know, they said Tom Hanks, Steve didn't very

286
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 5: let's take Tom Hanks. But no, but I did get

287
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 5: I did get inquiet about about big uh and uh,

288
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 5: I think that I got an offer on Ghostbusters, and

289
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 5: uh a movie called Mannequin. Actually that Kim Petrell did,

290
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 5: my old pal from Police Academy, and then uh, dozens

291
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 5: of a series on television, and and and lots of

292
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 5: movies that I I'm always reticent to talk about because

293
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 5: they sort of are pin in my side that it

294
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 5: didn't take them. But uh, but I the ones that

295
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 5: I took did very well. So I'm pretty happy.

296
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: Do you know.

297
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: I'm surprised because we live in a world now, Steve,

298
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: of endless, you know, remakes and reboots and sequels. I

299
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: am surprised they haven't reunited. If you follow you on Instagram,

300
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 2: I know you did a little reunion to the end

301
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: of last year with Ted Danson from Three Men and

302
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: a Baby.

303
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: I'm suppose you haven't got you all back.

304
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 2: Together now now that you could be grandparents and it

305
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 2: could be three grandparents and a baby.

306
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 5: I sure do hope we do one. We've had several

307
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 5: scripts written and Disney hasn't given the okay yet. But

308
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 5: they're a smart group and they'll make the right decision.

309
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 5: I think it would be a great a great picture

310
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 5: to have the three of us come back, and I

311
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 5: think the audience would love it.

312
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: So if you guys, have you and Ted and that

313
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: have you? You've spoken about reuniting doing it another one?

314
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, Ted and I have spoken about it,

315
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 5: and we were still deciding to have Tom back. But

316
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 5: the last the last vote was yes we could have

317
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 5: Tom back. So we are going to have Tom back. Uh.

318
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 5: It was, it was, it was, it was. It was

319
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 5: a decision that was hard fought. I had to wrestle

320
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 5: Ted to the ground to make him say yes. But

321
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 5: finally he said yes. So hopefully the three of us

322
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 5: will do a picture together again. We had a lot

323
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 5: of fun.

324
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: Everyone that cools in Steve. We're asking him to tell

325
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: us a song that's kind of like a guilty pleasure

326
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: for them. It's a song that when there's no one

327
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: else around that like to stick on and turn up loud.

328
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: What's it for you, Steve Guttenberg, what's your song?

329
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 5: Oh there's only one, Christian. Is this a question or

330
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 5: as a statement? You know what it is? It's easy

331
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 5: beats writing on my mind?

332
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: What a song? This isn't Brandant's song? Why this is? Steve?

333
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 5: I had a girlfriend from Melbourne and she played it

334
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 5: every morning and I loved her and I loved it.

335
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 5: So there you go.

336
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: And where did you meet the girl from Melbourne?

337
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 3: How did that happen?

338
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 5: We met in London and we were both there working.

339
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 5: She was doing some work and I was doing some

340
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 5: work and we fell for each other. And I had

341
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 5: a little flat in London and she moved in for

342
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 5: a while and she played the song every morning. And

343
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 5: she's a great lady.

344
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: Great lady, Steve, Thank you very much for giving us

345
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 3: a call.

346
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 5: Thanks Christian, all the best to you.
