00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: The Jonesy demanded show as we know it started in

Speaker 1: the aftermath of the two thousand and four tsunami in Pouquet,

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: an under.

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: Sea earthquake sent enormous way. Since then, we've been here

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: as you're constant, while the world changed, social media climate changed.

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 3: Three for Barack oil wedding, the follow matter I know

7

Speaker 3: for afect like a sentinel.

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,160

00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: and thanks.

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: To a detailed set of diaries that Jonesy has.

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: Kept, well the kind of detailed, but we do have

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: a time travelers podcast of a highly successful radio show,

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: highly successful a podcast of a moderately successful radio show.

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: All right, well let's begin, shall we.

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 3: Well here we are two thousand and six.

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: Yes, we're still in two thousand and six, but we're

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: heading through Jonesy's diary towards the end of the year.

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: What was happening to us towards the end of two

19
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: thousand and six.

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 3: It's not a diary, it's a shiplog of the good

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: ship Jonesy.

22
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: Is this like saying to the captain of the Titanic?

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: Thing new diary two thousand and six was quite the

24
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: tumultuous year for us.

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: Well, we started on radio together the year before. We

26
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: had some initial success and then then we got to

27
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: muddy waters.

28
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: Well, indeed, we started the year in two thousand and

29
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: five with all the hopes in the world. We finished

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: the year in two thousand and five at number one,

31
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: the top of our game. We were the number one

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,639
Speaker 1: FM breakfast show. Then two thousand and six came along.

33
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: Things changed for WS.

34
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 3: A lot of things.

35
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: Chase we got, we got a new management of a

36
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: new boss around. New boss came in and he was

37
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: formerly the boss of two DAYFM, so he wanted to

38
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: pull WS out of the daggy sort of suburban thing

39
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: and make us a bit of an all star station

40
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: playing hit songs like Kylie Minogue. We started playing Kylie

41
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: Minogue and not the locomotion.

42
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: Knew Kylie Yeah and Madonna, and he liked stunts. So

43
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: we had big promotional Remember we had meal. The TV

44
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: was this the Olympics, and it was about people gobbing

45
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: in partners who watched too much television and we could

46
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: give them a new TV if they smashed up the

47
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: old ones. So they came into the station and used

48
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: a big am I imagining this correctly used a big hammer.

49
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: No, we just pushed it off the balcony, did we?

50
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: But we smashed up a television and you know, it

51
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: made people, including us feel a bit awkward because it's

52
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: so wasteful.

53
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: It's so wasteful that that didn't really work for us.

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: And we also had I do again.

55
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: See this is the thing, as you say, he'd come

56
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: from today EM which was the cool kid station, and

57
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 2: he's so they would do stuff on relationships, and he said, well,

58
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: we have a slightly older audience. What's that relationship stuff about?

59
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: And is it about renewing vowels? So we had a

60
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: big event down at the opera house I do again,

61
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: where couples re what's it called reaffirm their wedding vows?

62
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: How many couples do We have had a lot of

63
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: people the ad.

64
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: Of the opera house like a moony white mooney.

65
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: Went and you and I chose not to do it

66
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: with our own.

67
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: I went home to my wife and I said, Dell,

68
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: and I said, would you be interested in renewing your

69
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: of ours? Yes, as if I would make that mistake twice.

70
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: But then I just there's an old saying in radio

71
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: A radio consultant said to me many years ago, if

72
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: you care, they care, I do again. I didn't care

73
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: about and I believe that you didn't care either. We

74
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: went along there because we thought, oh yeah, maybe we'll

75
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: get some press, maybe we'll get some talkability.

76
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: Well, and I wore like an eighties wedding dress with

77
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: a floppy hat, and you dressed like a groom from

78
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: the eighties in a brown suit. And we and we

79
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: kind of officiated the wedding, didn't.

80
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: We were with there and job Paul Young saying lovers

81
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: in the area.

82
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: On the stairs pretty huge.

83
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: We don't do stunts like that. And I'm too old

84
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: and disinterested to do stunts. I prefer the intimacy of

85
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: talk radio.

86
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: Stunts are for the Central Coast. If you're on radio

87
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: and Central Coast or Sunshine Coast it there ms.

88
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: To be a lot of them in those days, and

89
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: they just aren't anymore.

90
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: They remember when you were a kid, there would always

91
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: be some sort of stunt.

92
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: Remember onto a.

93
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: Shambo under the bridge, under the Harbor Bridge. And in

94
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: the end, it wasn't a jumbo plane. It was a

95
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: big elephant.

96
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: It was a big elephant just coming under the bridge.

97
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: But back then radio was the only thing, and in

98
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, Instagram didn't exist.

99
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 3: YouTube didn't even exist in two thousand and six.

100
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: So you could do that magic trick, you know, where

101
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: you make it look like your fingers in half and

102
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: go ooh, look at that, and people go, that's incredible.

103
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 3: You freaked me out.

104
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: We also did the strolling boats, which we talked about

105
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: in our last few years.

106
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: So that was a year of big promos, wasn't it.

107
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: But it didn't show in the ratings. We were tanking

108
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 3: it in the world.

109
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: We I can't remember, tell me what we.

110
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: Kept dropping down.

111
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: In fact, I'll just read from this particular article WUSFM

112
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: reckons rating surveys are off the dial? Is the boss

113
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: of WSFM a sare loser in denial about the decline

114
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: of his station, or simply voicing what other radio executives

115
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: have come to accept over the years, that you can't

116
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: always trust the.

117
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: Ratings down like two points.

118
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, where we would know we were down to five

119
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: point four, but we'd have a drop of two points

120
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: in a rating story, which is massive. I remember that

121
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: day we had that two point two tanky you were

122
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: that you were getting photographed for your upcoming appearance in

123
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: Dancing with.

124
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: The Stuf, that's right, and the photographer saying, come on

125
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: in and smile and laugh and jonesy and we're just

126
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 2: going we were shell.

127
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: Show and I just they said we've dropped two points two,

128
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: which is tons and we were doing so well. And

129
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: then in this article and the paper didn't help as

130
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: well because they're talking out about the Breakfast Show is

131
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: the biggest problem. Oh well, this is after, this is

132
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: after all that time it took me to convince you

133
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: to come and work here, you know, And this is

134
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: almost after I threatened, almost got the sack in two

135
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: thousand and three. So my breakfast radio career was in

136
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: those early years was quite perilous.

137
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: You know, I was insane. I'd forgotten all this.

138
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: The biggest problem appears to be the Breakfast Show presented

139
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: by Amanda Keller and Brendan Jones, which has slipped from

140
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 1: a seven point six rating share in January to five

141
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: point four. At the moment, I think we're in the

142
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: high eights. So we're doing all right, and there's more

143
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: competition now. When audience share goes down, it means the

144
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: people who are tuning in are not finding it. Compelling

145
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: enough to stick around for long, says one veteran programmer.

146
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: The breakfast market is very competitive, and ws WS is

147
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: falling between the two markets.

148
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: It's not as.

149
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: Sharp and funny as the other FM breakfast shows and

150
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: not as newsy and relevant to all listeners as the

151
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: AM talk shows.

152
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: We outlasted all of those shows.

153
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 3: You look at it, how many shows have we seen

154
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 3: in our time here?

155
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: Well at other shows, There's probably been about eighteen breakfast

156
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 2: shows in this time.

157
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: The only ones that are left to Kyle and Jackieyat yep,

158
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: that's it, only ones as we.

159
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: Started with them as well in two thousand and five.

160
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: Everyone else has gone.

161
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 3: But that's it.

162
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: So it was really it was really difficult retrospectively angry

163
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 2: about that?

164
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: Are you going to do a flaming Winston on the authors?

165
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: The authors of that article's doorstep. Also at the time

166
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: we had a boss, the new boss that we're talking about,

167
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: and he had upset some people at the Telegraph. So

168
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: there was this constant newspaper article slaggering the station?

169
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 3: What about this one?

170
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: There was a part there when we had the countdown

171
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: what was it called the Countdown Spectacular, The countdown spectacular.

172
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: So it was basically all those countdown acts and.

173
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: They'd come out and sing one song. So you had

174
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: Rick Springfield singing Jesse's Girl. Newman to come and sing

175
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: in cars or whatever. Then he he's now a real

176
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: estate agent in Leeds or something, and he thinks, what

177
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: a great gig is this.

178
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: Remember Martha Davis came out to sing Total Control. But

179
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to get down the front because I wanted

180
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: to hear Rick Springfield do Jesse's Girl. And he's set

181
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: because he was going to do I've done everything for

182
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: you and Jesse's Girl because we knew the rundown. So

183
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: we were up in this corporate boss and he skipped

184
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: all the way down down and then I realized I

185
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: got there too early, so Martha Davis was coming out

186
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: doing Total Control. So I was the only guy standing there,

187
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: and then I felt bad because she's singing it to me.

188
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: So you had to dance. So it's very hard dance.

189
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: It's a very hard song to dance.

190
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: Took yeah.

191
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean I think she was thinking, hang on, I've

192
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: still got it. I've still got it with this young

193
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: man here.

194
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: But on that night, there was an incident and there

195
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: was a security guard who our former boss had ticked off,

196
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: and people at the Telly he ticked off. So between

197
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: that betwixt the two betwixt the two w west got

198
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: some very bad preyers.

199
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: Just just scooching through the article.

200
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: Apparently, well it's not apparently, because it was true. Our

201
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: former boss was caught in a cubicle elf lagrante with

202
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: a young.

203
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 2: What would you call them like, both single and consent.

204
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: Single and concenting.

205
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: But the toilet and the Telegraph had real beef with

206
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: this particular guy because he ticked them off, I think

207
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: when he worked out at Foxtel.

208
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: So every week there was an article about this story.

209
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: Kept going and going and go, I'm in the cubicle,

210
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: and then the paper would use anything to get this

211
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: story back in. So what about this one under the

212
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: headline toilet Talk keeps on his toes. Sydney radio station

213
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: WSFM has gone to ground over an alcohol fueled incident

214
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: in when one of its executives was thrown out of

215
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: a concert after being caught in a toilet with a

216
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: junior staff member.

217
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 3: It's great, isn't it?

218
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: Program director Bbe was removed from ASA Arena on the

219
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: opening night of the retro rock tour Countdown Spectacular earlier

220
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: this month when security found him and a female staffer

221
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: in a woman's cubicle.

222
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: Okay, so that was.

223
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: One of the articles every day something so look.

224
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Then a week later WSFM playlist was out of tune.

225
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: Radio station WSFM has been forced to apologize to listeners

226
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: for repeatedly playing a song about a high school massacre

227
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: after a series of news bulletins about school shootings.

228
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: So will be playing I don't like Mondays.

229
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: I don't like Mondays, so we always play that. Yeah,

230
00:09:58,920 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 3: but I think one of.

231
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: A shooting in America it just occurred, which could have

232
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: been on a weekly basis, and then straight into I

233
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: don't Monday.

234
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: But really all it was about.

235
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: Did they rehash the story?

236
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: Yes?

237
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: When asked why. The station's program director Redacted, who confidential

238
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: last week revealed was removed from a Sydney concert after

239
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: being found drunk and with a junior w CUM staffer

240
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: and the ladies toilet cubicle was still in hiding and

241
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: wasn't available for comments.

242
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 2: So they rehashed it again.

243
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: Every week there was another rehash of that until Redacted

244
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: had to leave the radio station.

245
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: It's a funny old job, a funny old business. But

246
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: then there's a story here I've just found.

247
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: Look at that headline I just saw at the radio.

00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: time since it was alleged he'd been caught in a

253
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: public toilet with a female staffer, Mustafa Mustafa. Actually Mustafa

254
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:18,800

Speaker 1: That was it.

260
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 2: That's you know, it pays you not to tick anyone off.

261
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: If he hadn't ticked off the security guard wouldn't have happened.

262
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: If he hadn't ticked off the newspaper people, it wouldn't

263
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 2: have happened. It's curious we hadn't had it off in

Speaker 2: the toilet, it wouldn't have happened. I just meanwhile, you're
