<v Speaker 1>I want to thank you for clicking and downloading on

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.719
<v Speaker 1>today's episode with Ruben the Winner of the Voice Australia,

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>which wrapped up last week on Channel seven. I've actually

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>followed Ruben since the first crackle of his voice, and

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I was even so keen on him winning that I

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>requested with Channel seven an interview with him earlier this month.

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>He is such a gorgeous guy and a deserving winner.

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I think Leanne Rymes should be very proud, and I

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.199
<v Speaker 1>kind of feel kind of proud myself. And guys, guess what,

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I've got nothing to do with any of it. Ruben

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>will talk about filming all the different endings and what

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>order that they were recorded in. We will talk about

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Leanne Ryan's and how she found out he won, plus

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>why he didn't talk to any of the other runners up.

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I will discuss the way in which he wants to

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.480
<v Speaker 1>spend the money. Seems like a really personal question, but hey,

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 1>as if you don't want to know the answer. You

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>will also get everything from song choices and why they

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>picked them, what he really thought of the other finals,

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>and I'll even find out how he celebrated finding out

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>that he was the winner. There's actually so much to

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.759
<v Speaker 1>talk about, with so many inside revelations, So sit back

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>and relax as we unpack the wonderful world of the

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Voice Australia.

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Are you mate?

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing very well. I actually am.

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Just to start off with, I have to say congratulations

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>on winning the Voice Australia.

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 3>That is just huge.

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 2>That is that isn't nuts? That?

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:25.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's crazy.

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 2>We were so cool.

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>We were talking about this only like a few weeks

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>ago and I said to you, I was like, you're

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 1>picked to win. And from the very first time that

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 1>I heard your voice, I was like, he has got

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>this competition in the bag.

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:40.320
<v Speaker 3>But I've been telling.

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 1>People this for the last few weeks and the fact

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that you took the competition out somehow has made me

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>look cool.

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 2>You're too kind man. You know, it's all the credit

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 2>goes to the people around me that kind of helped

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 2>me get over line, you know with the texting and

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 2>all that sort of stuff. For people that have helped

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 2>behind the stage, you know, said the stage lighting camera guy.

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, everyone like the whole framework is why what

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 2>woll me over the line? And all I did over

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>there was seeing dude, and it was nice to have

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>the ability to look back and go I actually felt that,

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>so you know. Yeah, so just all the coaches and

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 2>everyone making it super easy for me to actually feel

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 2>something that I like to do. Yeah, and that that

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 2>was really what it was all about, so everyone came together.

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, I thought what might have got you across the

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>line in the end was that there were some brilliant

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>singers you know, left in the competition. But what I

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>thought about you was there was more to you as

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>a person for Australia to believe in. I think your

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>story felt more compelling, It felt more authentic. It feels

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>like there's more to you than.

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Just your voice. Is where I'm going with this.

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, And I think sometimes we always we get

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 2>left singing it in the way of our voice, you know,

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes we've all got that.

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Boy, when when throughout watching this all back, because we

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>all know this was filmed a little while ago, but

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>when did you well watching your back think you know what,

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm going to take this out.

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it would have been just before obviously the semis.

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 2>When I got through the semis, I started to actually believe.

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.920
<v Speaker 2>I was started to go, wait a second, like you

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 2>know when you walk past that lot of machine in

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 2>the shops and you never buy a ticket because you

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 2>never think ever you're going to be that guy, you know.

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>And so it's finally finally clicked. After the Semis and

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I went to a living I was like, Okay. My

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 2>wife basically told him we could win this. We could

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 2>literally take home and be sort of sort of help

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 2>with our debts. It could be get free, you know,

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>and just not just stet free, but also have some

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 2>to put away for it and then work on our craft,

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, like something that makes us happy. And we

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 2>just looked at each other and going, help, we could

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 2>really take this. Yeah, That's when I it all quick. Man.

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>It seems to me like when we watch these reality

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>TV shows, a lot of people use the money to

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>They use the money to try and make them more famous.

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>They try and use the money to make them a

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>bigger artist. I actually thought for the first time with

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>you that the money that you're going to take home

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>from this competition is not just going into you and

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>your career. I feel like you're going to use that

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>money for your family. Have you had time for that

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>dust to settle, to think about how you're going to

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>spend it.

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Not really. I think one thing we know we want

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>to spend it on is to get to buy some

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 2>sort of peace of mind at the moment. And it

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 2>could be it's something I need to sit down with

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 2>the missis and talk about because it's a massive amount

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>of money and it's a big decision, big family decision

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 2>as well, So something that I want to be able

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 2>to you know, obviously pay off out there to then

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 2>possibly look at how I can support myself without having

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 2>to fly out to work, and also how do I

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.599
<v Speaker 2>hone in on my craft and have some time to

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>actually go into studio rather than having a sacrifice that

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>time to go to work and kind of you know,

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:55.720
<v Speaker 2>break that creativity cycle and hit that constant wall. So yeah,

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I have to sit down with the missis and talk

0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>about it, that's for sure, chat over a coffee.

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I think remember talking to someone who won this show

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>years ago, like I'm talking a decade ago, and they

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>spent a lot of the money on booking, recording studios

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.719
<v Speaker 1>and making new music.

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 3>And they said to me.

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.239
<v Speaker 1>That if they could go back in time, they would

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>use the money to build a recording studio at their

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>home to stop the spending of booking studios. And I

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.599
<v Speaker 1>think that could be something that you could do, because

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean you're already fully functional artist. I think you

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>could be in there writing new music and doing it

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:28.599
<v Speaker 1>that way.

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that would be that would be the best option.

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 3>I would say, how did you watch last night's finale?

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Because that's always really fascinates me because you know, as

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>everyone knows, that the show is filmed a few months ago,

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and they multiple endings and then you're left to watch

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>it with Australia, which is nerve wranging.

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy when people see you up in the street,

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 2>they go, wait a minute, should be in Sydney and

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 2>the amount of amount of times have got better and

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 2>then you have to sit down and explain it to them,

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, and just that yeah, it's crazy. But having

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 2>all my mate, having the people and like sort of

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 2>my tribe, you know. And we had a lot of

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 2>watch party at Frio. We watched it at the same

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 2>time Sydney watched it and usually purposed three hours behind

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.480
<v Speaker 2>and we are we get you know, the Red Eye

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 2>you know. Yeah, so we watched the same time Sidney

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 2>watched it, and we had one hundred people rock up

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 2>and fill up this little venue that that his own

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 2>by our mates and just saw the projector down. He

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 2>he got he to drink sales and you know we

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of yeh, had a really good time.

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 3>That's amazing.

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.479
<v Speaker 2>It was quite nerve wracking people despite knowing they was filmed.

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 2>They were so pleasant and so invested. It was like

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 2>almost they were there watching me perform again that if

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. Yeah, so it's felt super genuine,

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 2>even though I wasn't playing or singing, It felt like

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>the most genuine sort of response you could get. And

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.720
<v Speaker 2>no one, I suppose no one will get to see

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 2>my reaction as it was yesterday yesterday afternoon. But yeah,

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 2>that was a really humane resp I would says pretty cool.

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 3>When they film multiple endings.

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 1>I love to ask this question because it's actually a

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>really good behind the scenes question, and that is like,

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>what was the order? Can you remember who recorded their

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>version of winning the Voice first? Do you remember how

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>that went down?

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it was, Yeah, it was it was Anie,

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Like the way the way we had to stand up

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>over there, so in that order sort of thing, you know.

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 2>But Annie was first, Jaden second, I was third, and

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 2>then in the sky and yeah, the whole time this,

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I've never been more nervous, my whole this whole experience

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 2>being asked to pretend to win sort of thing. Yeah,

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 2>and I've never been that nervous before. But I understood,

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, this is this is how it is like,

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, this is stovisn And I'm going to try

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and sort of dwell into that space and myself like

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 2>and just some sort of skin anyone, Yeah, and imagine it,

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, because honestly, I already felt like we're winner

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 2>making it that far in the competition, So I'm channeling that.

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Have you heard on the others? Like, what did they

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 3>text you? Do they know you? Have you heard from

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 3>any of the other three?

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 2>You won't believe this. And I think it might be

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 2>a sign from the universe or whatever. So while while

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>we were watching last night, just before the winner got announced,

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 2>my phone died. O. My phone actually died and I

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 2>must have not charged it or whatever, and she died

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>and I had no messages until I finally got home

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 2>and charged it. And as soon as I opened the phone. Yeah,

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>it's just like an influx of messages, you know, and

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to take some time out probably today to

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 2>do some reply to people. Might not be able to

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>do it to reply to everybody, but you know, just

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.200
<v Speaker 2>a few people, especially the guys that I do the

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 2>show with, you know, they feel that little family.

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Were you called, will you called Jayden and Sky and

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Annie and have a conversation with them about this or yeah,

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>a relationship like with this the other three people.

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I love him. I actually voted for him. Yeah,

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>that's very Ruben. I love the guys that I've made it.

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's really amazing people are all three of them. Guy,

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:11.959
<v Speaker 2>He's he's incredible with his vocal range. And Jaden, they

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 2>were guarding me the whole time. So Sky actually gave

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 2>me a few tips vocally and stuff so that I

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 2>took on board and kind of helped me out. Jayden

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 2>would look after the kids when so she's very she's

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 2>got these motherly instincts. You know, I'm very family driven

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 2>as rather as an exceptional singer. And when the kids

0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.680
<v Speaker 2>were there, she just you know, she was happy to

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 2>look after them. Yeah, she's actually beautiful. So and Annie

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 2>she's fiery. You know, she's got that for a sixteen

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>year old. You can you can almost see she's got

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.319
<v Speaker 2>so far to go in the show. And the relationships

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 2>she and her mum shared over there was pretty nice.

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 2>But she was there with a mum the whole time.

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 2>We didn't really get to connect with Annie as much

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 2>as I did with Jadan in spine, but they're all incredible.

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Definitely will do a little post.

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Well we'll follow them. We'll all follow them.

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.200
<v Speaker 1>We can all follow their journey, you know, from where

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 1>they go from here, because yeah, you've you've all had

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 1>this amazing platform, but you've all had some access to

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 1>some amazing coaches. What about your relationship with Leanne? Like

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I heard from sort of a behind the scenes person

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.599
<v Speaker 1>that she was very you know, her her manager or

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>her assistant or something was constantly checking in with Channel

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 1>seven and making sure you're okay.

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 3>What was it Like the show.

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Goes you know, you filmed it, it goes to air

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 1>and then she's a megastar, Like if you needed to

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.440
<v Speaker 1>talk to her, how did you go about being able

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 1>to reach out to her and get advice?

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, she just, like you know, just threw WhatsApp she's

0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 2>gave me a phone number. Yeah, the Instagram, but through WhatsApp,

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:41.679
<v Speaker 2>musly and and she's always replied, never not had time,

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 2>and she'd always do a little video or you know,

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 2>call me and someone like that. I'm unbroken by the industry,

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>you would say, has some sort of humanity. You can

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 2>hold their spirits, so Hi. You don't often get those

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 2>two things in a person. I don't think running this

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:04.959
<v Speaker 2>indus anyway. But having and even even being a nobody

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 2>music from pers and you have some of the egos

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 2>that come through there, you know, in these little musicians circles,

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and Leanne just unfazed by all of it. She's yeah,

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 2>she went above and beyond, even like you know, promoting

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 2>my votes just to vote for me and doing like

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 2>an Instagram live so her followers can meet me and

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.199
<v Speaker 2>sort of stuff like that. So I would say, I'm

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 2>truly blessed having her. And it would not have been

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 2>possible without hand, without everyone Channel seven and the voice

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>teams that have put all that effort into creating the

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 2>steps for us.

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Have you heard from Leanne? Was she one of the

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 1>people that you got to text? Have you not answered

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>your message.

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:43.319
<v Speaker 3>To Leanne Rhymes?

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:48.679
<v Speaker 2>This point, so I after Olivia, actually my wife actually

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>messaged reminded me that I need a message her because

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 2>it's obviously early in the morning with her, and then

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 2>she didn't see So with everything happening, my phone being dead,

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 2>this kind of took Livy's phone and her voice voice note.

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.079
<v Speaker 2>But at sen as I got home, I got a

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.079
<v Speaker 2>listen messages from her saying, Ohm, I God, have you

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 2>one tell me? And then she found out from somewhere

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 2>and it's two am in the morning, mind you, So

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 2>she must have just woken up, and she loves to sleep.

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 2>She must not have been able to sleep, and I

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 2>feel I feel so bad not being able to reply

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 2>to her, you know, And that's hilarious.

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 3>I actually think that's a really good story.

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.280
<v Speaker 2>And she just, yeah, she didn't doesn't mind about you know,

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 2>she's really cool like that.

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 1>What was it like to sing with her like that?

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Fixed your song? That version of that song for the

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 1>two of you was so epic like it was, And

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm going to try and cut it off

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:41.839
<v Speaker 1>and download that and listen to that for a very

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:42.320
<v Speaker 1>long time.

0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:43.959
<v Speaker 3>Did it change your voice at all?

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Having the nerves to be singing with Leanne or did

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it help in a way.

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I think I was really nervous that day

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.599
<v Speaker 2>because I am my first of all, you singing with

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:58.080
<v Speaker 2>the star, you know, and you just go, am I

0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 2>going to ruin this for her? You know? You don't

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 2>want to ruin it to her, you always you know,

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.559
<v Speaker 2>you want it to be kind of good the harmony Sten,

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.079
<v Speaker 2>But I just went. When we went on stage, she

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 2>said a few things to me that kind of really

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 2>got me into my field and didn't feel any of

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 2>that on stage. I really felt like I was singing

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 2>back at home or you know, it's a really free

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>You would say, I have to.

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Let you go because you've got to talk to the

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.559
<v Speaker 1>rest of Australia, like everyone wants to talk to you,

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.199
<v Speaker 1>which is going to be so exciting for you. But

0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 1>before you go, like what I did last time, I

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 1>want to know sort of like a behind the scenes secret,

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:33.439
<v Speaker 1>something that happened, Watch something from this voice experience that

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 1>you will remember. I think that might be the best

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.200
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes. Is there an iconic moment that you

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>will always have etched in your mind? Is it being

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 1>there with your mates watching that finale. It was a

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.359
<v Speaker 1>particular song, it was hanging.

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Out with all the voice contests and getting to know

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.960

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 2>this story and you know, everyone had to put food

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 2>on the table, and getting to meet these kind of

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:13.240
