Speaker 2: We are two days away from our holidays.

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: Well, so is that why you're good?

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, no, you can be honest.

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: We're midway through the year and so we have a

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: two week break coming up. You can be honest. They're

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, doing breakfast shows five days a week, three

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: hours a day. There's a lot of wear and tear,

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: you can be honest.

14
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: Yes, So for us, it's not three hours a day.

15
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 3: It's all day.

16
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: Listen, I've seen what you do. Let's not bullshit each other. Okay,

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: it ain't a ten hour day, Okay.

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 3: So we've had a huge start to our year. Yeah,

19
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: one of the biggest that we've ever had for this show. Yeah.

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: And so you know, by this time of the year

21
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 3: and as we're heading into winter, we all do get

22
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: a bit tired.

23
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: And I think I'm just at that point.

24
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: As much as I absolutely love getting up every morning

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: and I genuinely do even though that alarm goes off

26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 3: at three fifty and you go, oh, it's a joy

27
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: to come in every day and it's always fun, and

28
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: especially today's show it was an absolute joy.

29
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: But it is it can be tiring. Sometimes you do

30
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 2: just need to.

31
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: Relax and real are you looking forward to your break?

32
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 4: I am exhausted, honestly, like it has been a crazy

33
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 4: start to the year. We never I've been because your

34
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: lifestyle though, yes, that hasn't helped as well.

35
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: Say this guy, this guy tears up at the weekend.

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still young at heart even though you are

37
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 3: thirty one.

38
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: That's actually just warning you. It's an intervention. I thought

39
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: it's always been building this. We said three third maca

40
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: and I said third one intervention.

41
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I try to make you comfortable, just so we good.

42
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

43
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 4: This is the hardest time of the year every year

44
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 4: because in Melbourne winter it is freezing.

45
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: Get out of it. If you listening to in Order,

46
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: proper country that has a proper winter, they start crying

47
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: over here. It's so called harries mate, when it's wait

48
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: for its seven degrees. I can't believe my first year here,

49
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: the first winter there was a headline the big chill

50
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: for Melbourne's Wait, seven degrees that's not cold.

51
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 3: Can I ask a question? Yeah, okay, it is cold,

52
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: but what is your cold?

53
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: Like?

54
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: How do you explain? Because I say this one is

55
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: like it.

56
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: Goes through you zero negative one, zero, negative, well minus.

57
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: The winter's russ around that low temperatures two three every

58
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: day and then zero and then in the real cold

59
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: bits you'd have minus one, two or three.

60
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: But what does that feel like feeling too?

61
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: This in your bones?

62
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, that's ours is in our skin at the moment.

63
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, your surface levels. Yeah, so it's so moisturize it.

64
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: But yes, So what is the break? How do you recharge?

65
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: What do you love about? Because I'm ready for the break.

66
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: Lot's been going on and over the last couple of

67
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: months for me. The thing that's been taking up a

68
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: lot of my time outside the show is getting ready

69
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: for this first ever mentorship business. Then I'm actually going

70
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: to be launching in the next couple of days, which

71
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm super excited about. But because I've always worked for

72
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: big radio stations where other people do all the ground

73
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: work like yourselves, and I've been a one man band

74
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: and it is tough. It's like even writing all the

75
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: copy for a website. Right, They were just like, who

76
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: will you do this? I went, oh, I sort of

77
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: looked around. I guess I'll have to do it all,

78
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: all of that. And so it's been website copy checking that,

79
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: and then who will do the invoicing, who's going to

80
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: run zoom all of this? So everything right, everything, so

81
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: I can launch this this mentorship thing which I'm really

82
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: excited about, which I talk about in a minute. So

83
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: there's been a lot going on with that, a lot

84
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: of the kind of I guess it's like when you

85
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: launch a rocket ship. There's this tremendous amount of energy

86
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: you have to have, and then when it's launches, something

87
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: else propels it and moves it. But for that first show,

88
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm ready for the break. Yes, we've got two weeks off,

89
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: all next week. All next week I'm working on this.

90
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: That is going to be hours and hours every day

91
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: getting already so it. I know that people at the

92
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: end of the four classes are going to have for me,

93
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: theyve I know they can get something out of it,

94
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: how it shift them. So I'm really conforwarded to that.

95
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that. But the break for me,

96
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't like just lying and then we are going

97
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: away for a week roth of feeding. I'm very lucky

98
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: to have, thanks man. But I love reading, recharging, and

99
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: I find a whole load of new ideas come to me.

100
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't sit there with a notepad looking for ideas.

101
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: They just start to come to me because suddenly I'm

102
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: not looking at a blank piece of paper or haven't

103
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: got the daily demand of the radio show. I find

104
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: that always, never, not during a break, loads of new

105
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: ideas come to me.

106
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: That would be the same for me, because like during

107
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: the show, you are looking for those things, and I've

108
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: constantly got things as.

109
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah it's next tomorrow.

110
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot, and there's a lot of different aspects,

111
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 3: like I deal with sales and promotions and the show

112
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: and the team and the it's constant, so there's lots

113
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: and lots of different things happening. Whereas when I'm on break,

114
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: I really love to I would call it escapism, where

115
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 3: I just kind of read a book that I wanted

116
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: to read for a really long time, watched a movie.

117
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: We're going to Vietnam for the holidays, so I like

118
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: that you.

119
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: Two having an affair.

120
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: This is huge, just imagine the first lesbian and gay affair.

121
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: That's a whole other podcast. What are the an amazing one?

122
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: A show affair? You know, my my Richie I did

123
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: the show with in the Yukuba with ten years. You

124
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: know he met a listener, married her.

125
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: Still where did they meet?

126
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: What were you doing? This is amazing? So he had

127
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: been dating Semi's unsuccessory for a while and then there

128
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: was one person who kept calling the show who he'd ghosted,

129
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: and it was starting to become an issue for the show.

130
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: And then we were going to do this thing. We've

131
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: done it a couple of times called DJs and pj's

132
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: always in the last week of the year, rich and

133
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: I were going stay at a listener's house. We stayed

134
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: to night. I don't mean in a hotel like other

135
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: shows do when they go we're going to do the

136
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: show from yours. We stayed the night there and invariably

137
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: on Thursday night we'd do what if you want to

138
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: do on Thursday night? So I remember one family we

139
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: stayed with. This woman. She was in her sixties, her

140
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: husband had passed away a couple of years ago, and

141
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: they both listened to the show a lot. So she

142
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: I took her whole family out for a curry and

143
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: then went to karaoke. We didn't get a bed about

144
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: three in the morning. We were it was amazing, though

145
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: I accidentally broke a window there in the spare room.

146
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: So anyway, we're doing this DJs and pjs. We did

147
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: it every year and then on one year someone called

148
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: in and they said, come and stay at mine. And

149
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: I was chatting to her like, you got kids, her

150
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: husband and boyfriend. She goes, now I live by my

151
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: and I said, on here, we can't do this. It's

152
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: not it's not actually appropriate two guys to stay there, right.

153
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: So anyway, she sent me an emails saying it's very patronizing.

154
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm just going to throw throw itself

155
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: at you and Richie. So I said, look, why don't

156
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: you if you're fine, just coming on the show and

158
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: couple of months later, Richie said I need to we

159
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: need to go and have a chat. And straightway, I'm like,

163
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: million people in the country. Leave our listeners alone. We're

164
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: losing listeners. We're losing listeners. What happened? I said, who

Speaker 1: round because it'd been appropriate. What happened? He goes, well,

168
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: when you went to the toilet, we swat phone. Umbers went,

169
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: oh my god. In the studio you're yeah anyway, they felt.

170
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: He said, this is serious. I think this is the

171
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: one and they are lovely couple. They got married and

172
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: they a beautiful kid, now Rocco, who's like five, And yeah,

173
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: what a story.

174
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: I love the idea of like how did you meet

175
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 2: your partner?

176
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: Like I can first question to ask a couple if

177
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: you were out for them or anyone people love. I'd

178
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: love to do some like DJs and pjs again. However,

179
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: oh jack, old mate, it's not because we were and

180
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: sometimes I remember we did it with one. They won't

181
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: be listened anymore. But we went around to one family

182
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: house and it was a it was a nightmare. What

183
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: do you mean, well, I said, we're Rachie worked out

184
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: in the evening. It was like half seven, and Richie went,

185
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: I can't handle this anymore, and I went knocking, I

186
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: this is just a nightmare, and they were just they

187
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: were just she didn't know much about the show. His

188
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: wife didn't listen to the show, and we didn't know this,

189
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: so it obviously been an argument. So straight away it

190
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: was just an awful situation, right, and they were starting

191
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: to bicker. So rich and I live We said, we look,

192
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: we're really tired. You know, we take the show really seriously.

193
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: I know sometimes we act like we don't, but we're

194
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: doing so we need to be in bed by like

195
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: eight half a So all right, okay, we go back

196
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: to theirs and they were upstairs and we were down stairs.

197
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: We snuck out and went to a pub three hours

198
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: down the road. Had a great night's rich and I. Oh,

199
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: so anyway, because two and a half million people used

200
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: to listen to that show. Next morning, we're going a

201
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: great night. Someone called the show. So I saw the snitches.

202
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: They were like naming the pub, and the couple were

203
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: like that it's down the road, We're not there, don't know.

204
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: You were definitely there. That ended. That ended, DJ I'd

205
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: love to do it again because actually for most and

206
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: then we do the show live from there the next day,

207
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: and I just love being in their homes and part

208
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: of their lives. It was such It was always like

209
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year, you know, when you've

210
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: done the show for the year, the last one is

211
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: just so fun. And doing it for someone that really

212
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: likes the show, it's a great prize. And I liked

213
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: actually generally going out with them the night before just

214
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 1: finding out about Yeah, but I don't I don't know

215
00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: if I could drag Jack along to that.

216
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 3: So my suggestion is then maybe we just do the

217
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: one and then we could really ramp him up just

218
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 3: to do the one, and Patsy would help, like bring

219
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: her along because she would lift the spirits, and then

220
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: we just do it with the one night instead of

221
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: five because he.

222
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: Definitely we didn't do it over a week, Oh right,

223
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: you'd be exhausted because she went out the night before.

224
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 4: A lot of the after show chats sometimes are figuring

225
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 4: out how it can trick Jack into doing something.

226
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: Sight but we did.

227
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: We went to Dingley Village for Monica's place, and we

228
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 4: redid We had Pseudo Echo come in, come in, and

229
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 4: then smashed.

230
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: Up their kitchen and had it renovated.

231
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 4: They did a live performance.

232
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: It was awesome.

233
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: We had them in the room in the backyard, We

234
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 4: had all their friends and family. It was an amazing

235
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 4: vibe and just something obviously it's so different to being

236
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: in a radio studio. To be actually in their homes

237
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 4: where a lot of them are listening is awesome. I'd

238
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: love to do it.

239
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we did it with the Binstickers like it's

240
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: not as big, but when we're in the like I

241
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: went around with Pat to help give out the Binstickers

242
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: in weerribe and being in listeners homes is actually a

243
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: really beautiful, like grounding experience because you.

244
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: Know, when we share our lives with them, and so

245
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: I like sort of peering through the other lens and

246
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: seeing what their lives are about, and that helps me

247
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: put the show in context. It does where it really belongs.

248
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they would just point out these things left

249
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: right and center about you know, the wear it we

250
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 3: love God, Oh he does this, I do my husband

251
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 3: does that. And it was just really beautiful because you

252
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: see how you affect them like and and what every

253
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: show every morning has done for them, and the smile

254
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: on their face and they're so welcomings.

255
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: It is like they're our family.

256
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: Yes, women, they really are. Yeah, that's pencil picture to

257
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: Jackie boy. Okay. The other thing I enjoyed doing once

258
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: one day is we did an entire show from six

259
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: to nine in the back of a taxi and along

260
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: the way we said, this is where we're going to

261
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: go where if you're at work while he was singing

262
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: in the morning in London, let us know, we're going

263
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: to do some stop office and weld say hello and

264
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: have a chat with you live on air. And oh

265
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: my god, I love that show. It was so nice

266
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: just going to where people work. There were so many

267
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: different jobs. There was like hospitals, there were people working

268
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: on market stalls. It was just there's so much going

269
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: on at any given time in a busy morning in

270
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: a busy city. Same here in Melbourne as that we've

271
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: be in London. That was awesome. We were in the

272
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: taxi and people would be running up to the taxi

273
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: and coming to have a channel, so jumping in the taxi.

274
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes we were picking up people, giving them lifts from

275
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: dropping them off. It was it was chaos, but I

276
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: like just it unfolding. There was no plan other than

277
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: this is where we are. Now, where do you want

278
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: us to go next? So we were just called in going,

279
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: oh you're not far from me, come and say hi,

280
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: and went stuff at like a coffee shop and buy

281
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: some on a coffee a coffee van. Right, we should

282
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: definitely do that, yes, yeah, yeah. Then we picked up

283
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: a musician who I don't know if you remember. It

284
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: was a one hit wonder. He was called Passenger.

285
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yes, let it go saying that in there

286
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 4: and it was amazing, and then we dropped him off.

287
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: That's goodyear. I just picked up on that passing.

288
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: With a wizard of radio. Passenger, you're a passenger now? Hello?

289

Speaker 1: I love that.

291
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: Now question and I know it might be minute, but

292
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: was this a London cap the big ones with the

293
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 3: big backs in it?

294
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: Because ours are not that big.

295
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: But you think about then an uber uber exl oh.

Speaker 1: We need to find a musician, one that's got some relationships.

Speaker 3: we are lucky. We get okay, we get a lot

304
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: of experiences like that, and sometimes you're used to it

305
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: like it is a job. So some celebrities coming it

306
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,640

00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: also met are you having any names coming at you?

313
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: Maybe the microphone?

314
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: Sebastian great singer outside of Australia, Australian Idol Season one winner.

315
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: This was the best one. Sam Smith. I met Sam

316
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: Smith and they were amazing.

317
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 4: I think the last famous person that I have is Crawl.

318
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: Oh that's.

319
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: All those that's a that's a proper damn style.

320
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: I have met genuine and no Jack.

321
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: I took him.

322
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: I took him the guy that wrote correct I took

323
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: Everyone listens to.

324
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: This right now is googling who that is.

325
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: You're working at a pop music station at the time,

326
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: so it makes sense. Paul Kelly. For me, it was

327
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: a real moment, like I really took it in and

328
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: we're really, really lucky.

329
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: So I'm now worried that if we ever if anyone

330
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: actually globally famous come in, what you would be like?

331
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: The only person I would ever freak Jagger.

332
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: Or Paul McCartney or No, you wouldn't be fine. I

333
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: would know.

334
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 4: Cait and get out the back famously doesn't know any musicians.

335
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: The Beatles name one of their songs, Garden, not for

336
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: me with their work. If Mick Jag, now that's the

337
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: why don't you do that? Lie? Nick Jack? Have you

338
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: been doing this long? One of your songs? I might

339
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: know it. I might know, but I worked on a

340
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: pop station. Are you familiar with the work of Guy

341
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: Stadium Dodger.

342
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 3: The only person that I would ever freak out and

343
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: probably be a real fan is.

344
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: Have a guess back Obama, Sandra Bullet.

345
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: If I met her, you have to appause there did

346
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: not worry about like we're all going to go and

347
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: listen to and go ah. A global person is global.

348
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, anyway, One thing I didn't want to talk about. Yeah,

349
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 4: we've only got to we're recording. It's on Wednesday. We've

350
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 4: only got two shows till the break. One thing we're

351
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 4: cautious of as produce is bringing up ideas too early

352
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 4: that we don't think we're going to do because they

353
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 4: tend to cool so very quickly. There's like a ticking

354
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 4: clock from when you mentioned an idea to how long

355
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 4: we have to do it.

356
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, because right if you talk to a lot of

357
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: creative people, it's like if you don't do something of

358
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: that idea, it just goes It can go to somebody else.

359
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 4: And it took me a while to when I first

360
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 4: came on the showt like this is really weird, like

361
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 4: we have this great idea, but then like you know,

362
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 4: maybe it's been two weeks and Christian doesn't want to

363
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 4: do it, Like that's really strange. But then kind of

364
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 4: the more you're involved in the process and you see

365
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 4: like your first and Jack's reactions to an idea are

366
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 4: always best like in their very first fanta.

367
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: You feel, you feel an idea, and whether it lightship

368
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: or not in the moment, you don't know how you're

369
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: going to be in five weeks time, something else might

370
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: come have come along that actually excites you more, or

371
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: is a better idea. Yeah, that's why most of the

372
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: ideas are you're better off trying to do them either

373
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: today during the show or tomorrow, you know.

374
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 4: And we have a post that we have a there's about.

375
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 1: Fifteen posting with random They're not random. They're all just

376
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: like thumbnails of what we might talk about on the show,

377
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: like Bridgeton.

378
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: Good Melbourne's largest hands fall.

379
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: Shot Friday that was the largest hands shouldn't be up

380
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: there injured by child? We did today, Favorite teachers I

381
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: really want to do I do love. I want to

382
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: hear stories about NERF guns as well. Yes, all right,

383
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: I tell you, I'll tell you if we do nerf guns.

384
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: I'll share this tomorrow. But I remember years ago there

385
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: was this band called the Kaiser Chiefs. They sold million

386
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: Yeah that's it, Ruby, Big big man. They're bigger than

387
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: the Beatles, and they were doing a big thing for

388
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: the show were the show was on the road and

389
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: they were going to be doing a show in the evening.

390
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: So I went to interviewing them. I've done a couple

391
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: of things with them and they're always a good fun

392
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: hang right. So I was interviewing them for their play

393
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: out on the show the next day, and it was

394
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: now about six o'clock and the show wasn't till seven

395
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: o'clock and they were like, what are you doing now?

396
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: And this venue was quite a bit out of town.

397
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: I said, well, I was just going to sort of

398
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: hang around, get out your way. I went, no, no, no, no,

399
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: you will love this. Right. They then open up I

400
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: don't know, eight flight cases of the biggest nerf guns, right,

401
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: you've ever seen? And I was like, oh, oh my god.

402
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: These were all like my age, right, this was about

403
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: ten years all, and I thought, it is like, what's

404
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: that goes before a show? Before we let the audience in.

405
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: We we just nerve out on the venue. So this

406
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: was a fifteen hundred seater room that they were playing in, right,

407
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: and so week for half an hour alone, we were

408
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: just nerving each other. It was you know, we talk

409
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: about experiences like pinch me out. I can't believe this

410
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: is my job. It wasn't about the interview was all right,

411
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: the best high up. The whole thing was nurfing and

412
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: you're just a kid against Ricky Wilson, the man. We're

413
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: all running around like kids, hiding from each other.

414
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: And that it was brilliant when you do that, when

415
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 3: you do play games that you played as a child.

416
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 2: The feeling that you have.

417
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but you go back

418
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: to that feeling as a kid, like that excitement.

419
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: I remember introducing them about an hour and a half later,

420
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: and as I was stood on the stage about to

421
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: bring them on, it was just about one nerf you

422
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: know those under my phone and a reminder natural damage

423
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: friendly fire.

424
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 3: That's also reminded me we never got to because we

425
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 3: we're normally on a Thursday.

426
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: Why don't we do something like a golden shot, some

427
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: kind of nerf gun mechanic.

428
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

429
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but there's something in

430
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: nerfing for prizes, yeah, like hitting a target.

431
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 4: Yes, something more exciting about targeting targets. Good.

432
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: Nothing in the name.

433
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: Of targeting, target and target.

434
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: In England is washed. People feel it.

00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: break it could turn gold into ice.

441
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,480
