19
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: I can't wait. It's one of my favorite places in

20
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: the world. It's just got a special feeling about it.

21
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: I think part of it's nostalgic because I've been there,

22
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: you know, for so many years. But it's just, as

23
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: you know, one of the most beautiful spots on the planet.

24
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're at the RC Arena December third. I love

25
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 4: the RS Arena as a venue to see someone like you.

26
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 4: I'm assuming all the favorites, any new stuff. What can

27
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 4: we expect.

28
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be different every night, just because

29
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: that's the way I've always kind of done it. You

30
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: just go out and kind of read the crowd and

31
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: have a good time. I'm going to be playing lots

32
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: of different songs from over the years. I'm going to

33
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: be playing some Christmas music, which is going to be

34
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: interesting in forty degrees.

35
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: But not for us, you know, we're used to it. Yeah,

36
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: all right, Yeah.

37
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: It's weird. It's a little bit of everything.

38
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Christmas is just weird probably for you guys.

39
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: You know when they pull out the hot food when

40
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: it's thirty nine or forty degrees, you know, one hundred

41
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: plus in Perth. But it's a totally different world down.

42
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: Here, man. I know, it's so cool and I've never

43
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: experienced anything like that, so I can't wait to get there.

44
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: Well, we do it with seafood, Harry, Giant King Prawl.

45
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: It's beautiful cray fish.

46
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's how we do Christmas down under in

47
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 4: the heat. Now, tell us speaking about places in the

48
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: heat as well as the touring, you have a new

49
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: movie I think it's in the bag and we're just

50
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 4: waiting for a release date. It's called The Islander. What

51
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 4: can you tell us about that?

52
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: That was a lot of fun to film. We did

53
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: it in Cyprus, which is a beautiful part of the world,

54
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: and it's a really really funny romantic comedy with kind

55
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: of a dark twist, and it was just a blast

56
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: of film that. There's a woman named Stelana Klearis who

57
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: wrote it and directed it, and she's absolutely brilliant and

58
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: I can't wait for it to come out so you

59
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: guys can see it.

60
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 3: I can think of some worse places to film a film.

61
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: Press Harry after, really is are you getting regular? You

62
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: get scripts put on the agent's disk constantly? That is

63
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: that guy?

64
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: Well, I kind of have a pretty diverse career in

65
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: that way because some of the things are projects that

66
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: I developed. Some of them, you know, my agent will

67
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: send me. Some of them we get sent directly to

68
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: my management office. It's like all different kinds of ways

69
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: that that these things get done, which kind of keeps

70
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: it exciting. You know, you just you never know, you

71
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: know what's going to happen in five years. It could

72
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: be something that I've written that I'm you know, producing,

73
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: or it could be like this one. The Islander just

74
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: happened to come across my desk and I read it

75
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: and I said, wow, what's this. This looks really cool,

76
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: and you just never you never know what's going to happen,

77
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: so that that kind of keeps it fun.

78
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 4: Boy, you set the bar pretty high pretty early by

79
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 4: doing the soundtrack for When Harry Met Sally, which scored

80
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 4: you a Grammy. Did you think back then that the

81
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: movie would be the iconic just megatron.

82
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: That it became.

83
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: Well, it was pretty clear, you know, within a few

84
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: months of its release that it was hugely popular because

85
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: it's just it was. It sold so many tickets and

86
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: people all over the world side, and that it really

87
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: affected me because I went from selling, you know, a

88
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: reasonable amount of albums to a huge amount of albums

89
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: and that was all because of that success of that film.

90
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: And it was pretty cool to get all kind of developed.

91
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Yeah, it went to mindstream big time, and the

92
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: rest of it might not just curious do you have

93
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: at home at your main residency, Michael Jordan like trophy

94
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: room or you're a bit more humble about it. You

95
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: got something on.

96
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: That going well, I don't have as many trophies. It's

97
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan. But my wife and I we we have

98
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 2: a funny thing like she'll take the awards and put

99
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: them out, and I'll put them right back in the clock.

100
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: I don't like look, man, I think it's kind of

101
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 2: I don't know, it just kind of weird if people

102
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: come over the house and see the awards. So we

103
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: go back and forth. I'll put them away, She'll take

104
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: them out. And this has been going.

105
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 3: On for Yeah.

106
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: This is why you have though, because it's that happy

107
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 4: medium of I mean, if they were all over the house, yeah,

108
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: that might look it.

109
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: But if it's just in a room, then it's that's

110
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: fair enough. Absolutely, Like if.

111
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: People come into that room, it's like, you know, look

112
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 2: at my awards. Would want people going into that?

113
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: You just let them wander in there accidentally when they're

114
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 4: on their way to the toilet or something.

115
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: You don't have to make a big fun ye.

116
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: You will, man. That that would be where Jill comes. Yes,

117
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: I do.

118
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: I say you know these people.

119
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 4: You say that people factors and I'm where do you

120
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,440

121
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: And they're like, oh, I use it as a doorstop.

122
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: It's like, you do not I don't believe you.

123
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I wouldn't do that. I definitely feel like

124
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: it's so I don't know. It just feels like when

125
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: people come over, like there's out sitting out there. It's like,

126
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: look at my account.

127
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: I don't know, I know, I know.

128
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about another one. There is Tara and

129
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: the Hollywood Walk a Fight.

130
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.

131
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: This is another huge honor which you can't hide away

132
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 4: in a cupboard. What actually happens on the day when

133
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: someone gets presented with one of.

134
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: These, well, I got to tell you like that. That

135
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: one's it's hard to explain. It's different because it's so

136
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: public and it's out there, you know, on the street

137
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: and people pass it, and it's just crazy to think

138
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: that I have one of those. They we want to

139
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: present you with this, and it was just so cool.

140
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: You know. Renee Zelweger was there presented me with it.

141
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: She's a good friend from years ago, and I have

142
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: my wife and our daughters there, and yeah, that was

143
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: just that was just amazing. I was I couldn't believe

144
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: they gave me one of those. It was so cool.

145
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: That is very cool. I might not just thinking about it.

146
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: I ask this amusas every now and then. There's a

147
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks movie called That Thing You Do about a

148
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: sixties bank called The Wonders, and I didn't do much,

149
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: but they got one song on the radio throughout the

150
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: course of the movie. And did you have a moment?

151
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: They absolutely went nuts. The are in someone's shop and

152
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: I heard themselves on the radio. Do you remember that

153
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: moment you first heard yourself on the radio? Will As Easy?

154
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: It's pretty amazing. I mean, you know, you go in

155
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: the studio and you make this music, and you would

156
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: hope that it would be successful, and you do what

157
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,240
