1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Jes and Amanda jam Nation is the thing.

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: Our next guest light up our screens with his quick

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 2: wits and his humor. But Peter Hellier has been keeping

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: himself busy in another way, adding another book to his

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 2: ever growing collection of children's books. The newest one is

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: Detective Galileo.

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 3: To tell us more, Peter Hellia, Hello.

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: Here he is, Hello, Amanda, Hello Jonesy, good morning.

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: Always great to talk to you, Jonesy.

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: We've been playing bits from Jones's old band that he's

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: discovered an old cassette from his band Bad Element when

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: he was about eighteen. Have a quick listen to this people,

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: it's a sinus convention.

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: It's very hard to sing and drum heng the big roller.

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: But what's hard to do?

16
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: Begs the question Peter that Jonesy and his friends reconnected

17
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 2: on the phone to chat about things. I said, you're

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 2: going to work on a reunion. He just wants to

19
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 2: work on the T shirt. And he was suggesting that

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: you probably start with your cover design before even writing

21
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: a book.

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: And I dispute that.

23
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a very that's a very good question. By

24
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: the way, Josie Bad Element, love the name, Love the name.

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: I don't work on the cover, but I do. I

26
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: do try to. When I do a comedy, like an

27
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: hour comedy show. I love it when I get my

28
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: artwork because I can kind of see the show a

29
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: little clearer. And can I can? I just can I

30
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: just stay on the bad element stuff because I had

31
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: a band. I've got no musical talent, but when I

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: was in primary school, I started the band and we

33
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: would mime like camps and you know, sleepovers we had,

34
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: and we were called Peter and the pink Ets, and

35
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: and I all my friends, I was the lead singer,

36
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: the lead Mima and my friends all wore pink because

37
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: other pink ets. And I wore a black mister T

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: T shirt from I got a Marinbula and and we

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: rocked the house. We really rocked the house. And then

40
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: the year after we must have gone through some puberty

41
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: because I got wet. We got a little bit like,

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, we became a little bit self conscious.

43
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: And I changed the name of Peter and the Pink

44
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: Cats and we to call it a band called Faded Shadow.

45
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: We became a bit serious. We became a bit serious,

46
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: and and and then still then Amanda, we've never sung

47
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: a word. We were always with the Pink Cats. They

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: were all males. Yes, yes, we were, we were We

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: were the Pink Cats. Oh no, I mean it was

50
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: considered considered very brave back in four But I mean, yeah,

51
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: I found a loophole by but not being a Pink Cat,

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: by being the lead singer and being Peter of the

53
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: Pink Cats.

54
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: So you're the boss of the your mates are dressed

55
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 4: up in pink. That's I think you saved the day

56
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: I did.

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: But I want more bad Bad Element and I are

58
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: you surely there's a region to a company.

59
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: We're getting the shirt. We're getting the shirt too scared

60
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: to get the regiion.

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 4: We've got one shirt which has got my design, which

62
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: is a motorcycle helmet on like a skull wing a

63
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 4: motorcycle helmet with pistons and spanners.

64
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: And I've got a design which is like a broken

65
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 2: stovetop with three working elements in.

66
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: One that isn't well. As Billy Bragg says, the Revolution

67
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: is only a T shirt away bringing on Bad Element.

68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: Us about Detective Galileo.

69
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: A Detective Galileo. I absolutely love this. This is actually

70
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: a very early kind of stand up comedy idea that

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: I had many years ago and now I've turned it

72
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: into a kid's book. He's a trail horse. He comes

73
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: from his family generational trail horses. They take tourists along

74
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: the beach. But he dreams of another thing. He dreams

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: of becoming a police horse so he can solve crimes.

76
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: And he finally joins the police force and he attempts

77
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: to solder crime, but he quickly realizes that's not their job,

78
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: that they're there to ferry around the police officers and

79
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: and basically walk around the city streets and poop on

80
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: the road. So he gets kicked off the police force

81
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: and he begins his very own detective agency. So a horse,

82
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: and I believe we've done the fact checking. It is

83
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: the only detective agency run by a horse.

84
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: And it would be very hard to pick up a

85
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: magnifying glass though well.

86
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if you see the front cover,

87
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: you obviously you have because he's holding somehow he's holding glass.

88
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: And I'm not taking any other follow up questions based

89
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: on that.

90
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: Pete Hactors has designed the book cover before the week

91
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 4: because these are the piece the questions and people are

92
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 4: going to ask.

93
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: You know, how hard it is. Illustrated is a fantastic

94
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: illustrated Andy Joyner, and it took a while to find

95
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: because it's very hard. I'm not sure if you know

96
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: it's very hard to draw a horse. I'm not sure

97
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: if you don't how hard this is to draw a horse.

98
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: I had no idea. If you think about it, if

99
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: you try to draw a horse, and I challenge you

100
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: both to draw a horse, give yourself like a minute

101
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: to draw a horse. It's very hard. It's very hard.

102
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: Make sure we had to get the head right in

103
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: the body wrong, or the body right and the head wrong.

104
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Try to draw yourself a horse one now I'm.

105
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: Doing and my thing, I get stuck on the genitalia

106
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 4: that's always mine.

107
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: In Trouble at Melbourne Cup.

108
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: There's no guarantee parents. There's no genitalia in Detective Galileo.

109
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: We've kept that. We've kept that out.

110
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you.

111
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 4: I know you can't see this peak, but there's my horse,

112
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 4: and here's mine.

113
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: I would I would love you to send those to

114
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: me because I'm going to I'm actually collecting with friends

115
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: pictures of horses.

116
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: You said we only had, you know, a few seconds,

117
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: because I obviously would finess it more otherwise.

118
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'll allow that.

119
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: I think I've given it a doll knows though.

120
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: That's what happened. That's what happens. And maybe this is

121
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: the cover of your book. Maybe this could be maybe,

122
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: and maybe when Peter and the pink Heads get back

123
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:09,839
