19
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,320

Speaker 3: this sexy in Australia. Yeah, it's sexy. Look at little things?

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,400

22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: Eighty because you weren't in it. You weren't an early

23
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 3: adopter that's what it is. So you could buy a

24
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: CD player, do you know what? Tell me no, No,

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,440

Speaker 2: That's why no one.

30
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 3: Told me, Like I said early adopters, it would have

31
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: been just a few audio freaks going on. I'm going

32
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 3: to buy one of those. Yeah, yeah, it's very expensive

33
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,440

73
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 3: all bright.

74
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: Now we broke.

00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: Anything away, it comes back fashion.

76
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,840

Speaker 3: So Close to our Hearts and so recent raised a

78
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,040

79
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: Huge.

80
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: Now, it wasn't seventy seven point five million, of course,

81
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: but it was almost double what they'd done four years earlier.

82
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: So once telephone got past a million, it just went nuts.

83
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the population was five hundred and.

84
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: Six continues to do that, of course, there's how many

00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: right across the cell. Rabbits fans take a pat of stands,

00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: jump up. That's when he clicked his le.

93
