52
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 7: to say thanks for lending me your ease this evening.

53
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 7: Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I

54
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 7: used to be a DJ with a mobile company and

55
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 7: I ended up going towards the Snowy area working down

56
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 7: there in a hotel. I'm now hoping to become a

57
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 7: radio dis job here because that is what I really

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 7: want to aim for in life.

59
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you'll get there one day, mate.

60
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: Wow, it's like listening to someone who's just learning to

61
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: read what it's hard.

62
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: You try it.

63
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 6: I did.

64
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: I had to do as well. I had to go

65
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: through similar things.

66
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 4: That's terrible. That is terrible. It just takes me back.

67
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: It takes me straight back.

68
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: And Max had some good criticism for you.

69
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 6: If you don't do the rehearsal, there's going to be

70
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 6: no improvement. That's the same truth about the whole manner.

71
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 6: You've got to read it much more than that. Take

72
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 6: it to the toilet with you if you haven't got

73
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 6: to the other time, put it on your walkman, so

74
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 6: you understand what you're reading. Because a lot of the

75
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 6: time though you didn't understand what you're reading. You had

76
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 6: trouble with your reading last week, reading out loud right,

77
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 6: and you said even and tonight. I didn't realize how

78
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 6: hard it was to read out loud. If you don't preread,

79
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 6: it's impossible to read out loud. Remember, this is only

80
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 6: a certain correct school. So I'm really hat a loss

81
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 6: to improve you if you won't do your homework.

82
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 4: Do your homework.

83
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: So let's have a snippet.

84
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 5: Then.

85
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: So you go through the Max Rolly Academy and here

86
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 3: you are doing your best work on community radio.

87
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 8: Ad everybody a bit of reggae mon the late Bob

88
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 8: Marley and the Whalers with one Love. He died a

89
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 8: few years back, actually with lung cancer from smaking excessive

90
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 8: amounts of dape.

91
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: What a way to gabel.

92
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: Oh, my sphincter is so time. I could sharpen a

93
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: pencil right now.

94
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: Keep your sphincter aout it. But I will say this

95
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: about Max though, I went to that radio school and

96
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: got because it's hard to get into this job. Everyone

97
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: wants to do this job. And for me, when I

98
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: was twelve years of age, I wanted to do this.

99
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: I always wanted to do it, and Max I'd given up.

100
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: And I was working on a building site in the

101
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: city here, just on George Street, and I was making

102
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: good money. I was making a thousand bucks a week

103
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: as a com wow, which is a lot. This is

104
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight or whatever. And then one day I'm

105
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: just walking back to the Kent Street car park to

106
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: my motorbike and I hear this, Well, there's Brendan Jones

107
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: and it's Max.

108
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: He'd already done the course.

109
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: I've done the course. I'd given up.

110
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: I'd pretty much given up on the whole radio thing.

111
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: And he said, he said, how are you going, mate,

112
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: how are you going with your dream? And I said, oh,

113
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: you know, Max, like I just don't think it's going

114
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: to happen. I sent my tapes out. I've got no bytes.

115
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: No one's interested. I think that's it. You're selling yourself

116
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: a bit short. I think, come back to the academy,

117
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: redo your tape.

118
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 4: We'll have another crack. A month later, I got a

119
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 4: job at six Ka Krath Wow.

120
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: If Max hadn't seen doors and the thing about this

121
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: is what I always say, Max, sort me out in

122
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: the car park. It wasn't the other way around he

123
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: saw he could have just got on there. That guy

124
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: I used to teach at the Radio Academy.

125
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 4: What a loser. But no, he sought me out and

126
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: got me remotivated. So for that I owe him a

127
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: great deal.

128
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, we all do.

129
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 6: We all do.

130
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 4: Max Roley, eighty seven years of age. Thank you.
