Speaker 1: Twenty six solid hours.

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it stretched out over the time because it used

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 3: to be just that twenty four hours.

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we just can't do it, can't wrap it up.

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Big finale, a big finale.

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously we've got the News

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 4: at six on a Saturday, which which is a blockbuster

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 4: and itselfish tune of course, and then it kicks off

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 4: with the Bang at seven o'clock and then like the

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 4: Sunday night is.

15
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: The grand finale, so you've got to give that time

16
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: as well.

17
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 5: You want to fill the momentum exactly. So it's Incredible Together,

18
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 5: which is this year's theme. But it's been all along

19
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 5: I think, so yeah.

20
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 4: But it's good, So I suppose solidify that in a

21
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 4: theme Incredible Together And yeah, look, I mean it's one

22
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 4: of the beautiful things about telephone is just saying, you know,

23
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 4: so many people from so many different parts of w A,

24
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 4: so many different sections of the community coming together to

25
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 4: do their They're a bit big and small, every bit

26
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 4: count So it's it's it's awesome to see, you know,

27
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 4: especially kids helping kids, you know, through their own little

28
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 4: fundraising endeavors that they've done throughout the year. It's beautiful

29
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 4: to see. So it's a nice theme. I think that

30
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 4: really encapsulates what Telethon is all about.

31
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 3: And of course another thing we love is all the

32
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: visits from.

33
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: The how Long have you Got? How Long have you Got?

34
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 4: Wet I think it's a highlight of the year for

35
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: so many. Well, look on the music front, Guy Sebastian

36
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 4: and Human Nature probably the two big draw cards. But

37
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: by no means does it does it stop there? So

38
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 4: there's they're.

39
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: In town because of their fiftieth anniversary.

40
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: Busy played last year.

41
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 4: Look I know, but look this is way out of

42
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: my years, my life. I don't want to give anyone,

43
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 4: you know, someone asked me, said, you said, King Charless

44

Speaker 4: That's true stuff. He was royalty, Yeah, is the ultimate

48
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: King King Charles. Can he hold a tune though? Can

49
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: he work the phone room?

50
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: Can he do those? He probably could do anyway, not

51
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: saying that he's going on.

52
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:33,919

00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 4: stepping out of their comfort zone and doing some lip syncing.

86
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: Has not stopped.

87
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,920

Speaker 1: Yeah.

92
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 4: But all I'm saying is that there was talk early

93
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: on of me doing a solo Gang Them style, which

94
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: look just filled me with.

95
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: Horror a little bit of dread. Bar was all, yeah,

96
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: I bet he was about me. Yeah, of course he was.

97
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: He put you in it. He probably got me in

98
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: the first place.

99
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: So now, look, someone's got to do the phone room, right,

100
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 4: So I'm happy to take on for the team.

101
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: Just laugh along from the sidelines.

102
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: I don't know who's got Gang Them style in the end,

103
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: but look, I worry for them because that's a.

104
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: That's a tough one.

105
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 4: I meant it's hard enough learning to mount the words

106
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 4: for a song in English, right exactly.

107
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's just one of the exactly same exactly. Yeah. Anyway,

108
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: please don't play Gang Them style.

109
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 3: Now, guarantee you thank you. Last year, a new record

110
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: of seventy seven point five million.

111
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: Dollars was raised.

112
00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's phenomenal.

113
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 2: I mean I can remember when a million for the first.

114
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, very much.

115
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 2: Bobby limited his shirt off.

116
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: And you know there's still calls every year someone get

117
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 4: your shirt off, and someone will.

118
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: Of course he's on the plane exactly. He doesn't wear

119
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: a shirt. It's in his contract.

120
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 2: Do you think it's possible to break it again? I mean,

121
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: at some stage it's.

122
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: Got the expectation and it's heavy, isn't it. It's very heavy. Look,

123
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 4: I think the expectation is there, the hope is always there,

124
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: is the confidence there.

125
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't like to say.

126
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 4: I'm sure the people who you know who run telethon

127
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 4: are having a few sleep because you don't want to

128
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 4: be the person in charge of the thing when it

129
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 4: doesn't quite get there.

130
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: But that's why I think it is so important that

131
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: everyone does there. It does there. Bet we can't just

132
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: rely on sort of the big donors every year, every

133
00:05:59,160 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: little bit counts.

134
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 5: We're looking in our favor. Yeah, one thing we're going

135
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 5: to favor this is a state election coming up, and

136
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 5: Roger will Roger.

137
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: Cooper will hear. It's generous.

138
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 3: Absolutely, yes, we've got a double dip being.

139
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 4: Exactly hopefully Yeah, absolutely, yea.

140
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 5: The federal position leader is going to be here as well,

141
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 5: so I believe so, yes, yeah, so.

142
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Look ching ching Yeah.

143
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: But please don't let that that that put you off

144
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 4: doing your bit. Don't just rely on you know, true

145
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 4: political leaders.

146
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,400
