WEBVTT - MARSHALL HAMBURGER - AUSTRALIAN IDOL - CHANNEL SEVEN

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.680
<v Speaker 1>It's in the news today, but it was actually on

0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>TV Reload the podcast last week Neverlight. Hey guys, welcome

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>back to TV Reload. I want to thank you so

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>much for clicking and downloading on today's episode, especially because

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>this episode is a special one. I am joined by

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.279
<v Speaker 1>none other than the winner of Australian Idol twenty twenty five.

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>It is Marshall Hamburger. This season was stacked with talent

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and it showed. The show grew in its ratings by

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 1>fourteen percent compared to last year, which is huge in

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>terms of freedomware television, especially because of the stiff competition

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>being up against Marretive First Site on Channel nine and

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Australian Survivor on Channel ten. I was lucky enough to

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>grab Marshall Hamburger for a quick debrief just days after

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.599
<v Speaker 1>his big win. Now, I'll be honest, I had a

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>soft spot for Eilish and my partner was backing Jisella,

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>but I've got to say Marshall Hamburger is a worthy

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>winner and I'm already hanging out for his debut album.

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>In our chat, Marshall opens up about the moment Gizella

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>was a liminit what it felt like to actually win

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>and how much his parents influenced his journey into music.

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>We will also get into his love of all things eighties,

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 1>was that authentic or something shaped by producers to build

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>a narrative. Plus, we will dive behind the scenes, what

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the vibe was really like amongst the top twelve, did

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>he get the Judges mobile numbers, How we can support

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.119
<v Speaker 1>his music now and what is coming up for him

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>in the next few months. There is a lot to

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>unpack with plenty of insider revelations, So sit back and

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 1>relax as we dive into the wonderful world of Australian Idol,

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>which you can catch up on on seven plus, and

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I suggest you do because that Grand Final was epic.

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Hi, mate, how are you?

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm very good. I'm very excited to be talking to you.

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Like honestly, I felt like there was a concert in

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>my house last night and I don't think that I've

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.559
<v Speaker 1>had my television up that loud in a very long time,

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and a large part of that is thanks to you.

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Thank you man.

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Are you've a little bit overwhelmed? I mean from talking

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>to everyone this week? Have you lost your mind?

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>I honestly can't believe it, really like it. It's crazy

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 2>that is all happening. You know.

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to know what you remember from that Grand

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Finale night, because I think live television does this very

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>strange thing to your brain where you're kind of drinking

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>in all the colors and you can hear all the sounds,

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 1>but then when you sit back and you think about

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>what the hell just happened, you struggle to remember anything.

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, honestly, yeah, that was I mean, I was kind

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 2>of thinking, what the hell just happened? On stage? I

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 2>was just thinking. I was like, do they actually say

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>my name? Am I just dreaming?

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>The winner.

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 3>Of Australian Idol twenty twenty five is mysel hand.

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 1>When this season started, I had this chat with Ricky

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Lee cooled her and I didn't see or speak to

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Amy Shark, but I did see her do an interview

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.639
<v Speaker 1>and both of these women they could not get your

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>name out of their mouth. Like this was early days

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>in the promotion of this season of Idol. This was

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>not even before the live shows. You know, does it help?

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Do you think having a host and a judge be

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>on your side throughout the competition?

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 2>It is? It is amazing that those two women were

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.079
<v Speaker 2>so kind I had it a chat to them after

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the show Anderson Ricky dressing room with them. They's a man,

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>It's so cool. You know, you're you're a real artist

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>and I'm I'm excited to see what you do in

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 2>the future. And that was just so cool to hear

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>it directly from them, and you know, to just sit

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 2>down and have a chat with them after the show.

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 2>It was just a complete honor having a beer with

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Amy Shark.

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, the funny thing about watching Australian idol is

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>if you don't know these people, if you haven't met

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.839
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Marsha, Amy Scott and Ricky, you don't know how

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>genuine these people truly are. Like the way that you

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>see them on television, you could probably assume they're making

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>that they're putting on an act. I want to know

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>did you manage to ask them for their mobile numbers?

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Like do you have celebrity phone numbers coming out of

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>your ears right now?

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't have celebrity phone numbers. I do I do.

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 2>I do have the phone numbers of the musical. I

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 2>do the PHNT number of the musical director of the man.

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 2>But I will have to I have to answer Rick

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Gillian Scott for their numbers for the future.

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure. I'm sure they'll help you out with that.

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>They'll keep you on speed dip.

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure.

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>There was a huge gasp when there was the top

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>three going down to two. And that's really a stressful

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>environment to be in because you have been living with

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>these other two girls day in and day out, not

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.840
<v Speaker 1>only for the last few months, but especially in the

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>last week that.

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 3>I houltimately mean, so we have to say goodbye to

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 3>one of the biggest stars of the competition and one

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 3>of the greatest voices we have had on this show, Jisella.

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>What was the reaction like in that moment when Gizella

0:04:58.839 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>was eliminated?

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 2>It was it was honestly just shock. You know, I didn't,

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't, I don't know. It. It's weird. It's a

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 2>weird feeling because on one hand, you're celebrating because it's like, oh,

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>you're through to the next round. But on the other hand,

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 2>you're like, well, that's just someone, that's someone that was

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>one of my one of my best friends, and that

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 2>they they just you know, they just got it's got eliminated.

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>It's it's a weird feeling. It's a bit of Yin

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:19.559
<v Speaker 2>and yang.

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 1>I had three text messages turn up on my phone

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 1>as soon as it happened, saying shock. That's what it is,

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the capital letters shock. Now these three people are completely unrelated,

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>so it seemed to be a massive shock for the

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Australian audience to be able to see Gisella getting eliminated?

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Was it a shock to the three of you? And

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious to know, did going into this finale, did

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>you have any expectation of what the order would be

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.919
<v Speaker 1>in how you know the eliminations would happen.

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, honestly, it was really hard to tell who

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 2>would make it to the final two because we're all

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 2>such different artists, So it was really it was it

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.600
<v Speaker 2>wasn't like which one of us does does this genre better?

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 2>It's really which which kind of style did Australia like

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 2>This year? Was really hard to tell. I know this,

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 2>this whole season was really unpredictable. No, I sort of.

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I had thoughts in my mind about who we get

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 2>through and those thoughts were absolutely crushed and thrown to

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 2>the side. So I you know that it's really hard

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 2>to tell this season.

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I actually think then I've got a bit of a theory,

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 1>but I actually think that we all thought you were

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:24.919
<v Speaker 1>going to be there. I'm going to be really honest, like,

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anyone who saw you on the first day,

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:32.480
<v Speaker 1>that watch those live performances this season thought there would

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>be anyone.

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Else like, yeah, oh, well that that's pretty cool to hear.

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean I always hoped, I always hoped

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 2>that I would I don't honestly just hope i'd get

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 2>to the top twelve. Honestly, So it's I mean to

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.039
<v Speaker 2>get to be at the end of it, and you know,

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>hold the title is honestly just it's absolutely honor and

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm just so thankful and shocked.

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Would you say that this is going to be a

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 1>bit of a flex for you? You know that you

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>are the winner of Australian Idol. Do you think that's

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 1>going to help you in the dating world? Like, are

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you going to use that to get into clubs? Are

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 1>you already thinking about how are you going to use

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>this flex outside of just being a musician? Ah?

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, this is definitely definitely something

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 2>that will be on my resume forever. Yeah, honestly, honestly,

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>it's just so cool. I just can't believe that I've

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>been that I was lucky enough to be in that

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 2>sort of hall of fame of Australian idol winners. I

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 2>just I can't believe it.

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I think this couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Even just talking to you right now. I think when

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>we saw your relationship with your parents, your mom's got

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 1>one of those faces where you just feel like that

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>you know her, and your dad looks like such a

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>sweetheart as well. I kept turning around to my partner

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>actually and saying, you know, I actually think I've met

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Marshall Hamburger's mother, Like, does she have one of those

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>faces that people seem to think that they know.

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, definitely, one hundred percent.

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't think got that love for music from my parents.

0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 4>Growing up with such talented musicians in my household, it

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 4>was so helpful when it came to actually wanting to

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 4>pursue music, because I had access to these people who

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 4>very skilled at their craft, but they're also my parents,

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 4>and they actually also want to help.

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 2>And we were for free and you're free.

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it don't cost any money, which is really good.

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>And so your parents were like musicians growing up, and

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious about the type of music that they must

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 1>have been listening to, because I kind of feel like

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>you were raised on eighties tracks we saw during the

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>live shows. You seem to have a very good understanding

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>of the pedigree of that genre.

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so, so back in the day, they did a

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of music around around just around the globe. Actually,

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 2>they did a there were a covers band, and they

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.199
<v Speaker 2>took to it around the world at different hotels, doing residencies,

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 2>meeting some really cool people, doing big concerts, and yeah,

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 2>it's just all the above. They wrote some original music

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>as well. And then I think when they were in India,

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I was conceived and I was born, and yeah.

0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Did you think that they had any idea in their

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>careers or raising you that you were the prodigal sign,

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>like you were going to become this musician.

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.599
<v Speaker 2>No, my mom was actually talking to me about it

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 2>a bit earlier before. She was like, she was like,

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 2>oh no, when I was really little looking apparently, I

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 2>was like coming coming coming her like a flute line

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 2>of a classical track that I just heard, and and

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Mom was like, oh, yeah, oh, babies do this. Because

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I was at first She's like, oh yeah, oh, babies

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 2>must do this. And I was running around the house

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 2>like grabbing like showman hats and doing little dances with

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.079
<v Speaker 2>ul hoops and yeah, pointing to the TV and being like,

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:31.719
<v Speaker 2>I want to be there. I want to be on there.

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:49.960
<v Speaker 5>Black They to be as the testol Clossie plaster test

0:09:50.360 --> 0:10:00.079
<v Speaker 5>colt on little clothes. So I'm John Bag too. I

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 5>don't understand. There's no such a thing as preferred as

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:20.199
<v Speaker 5>the Day's girl by it went when on before, It

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 5>doesn't matter day sad.

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>You know what I really loved about you throughout this

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>competition is the way that you continued to flip these

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 1>eighties tracks, like the Darryl Braithway song. I can't tell

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.160
<v Speaker 1>you how many times I've actually listened to that version

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 1>of the song. All of these songs that were flipped

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>from their eighties they kind of transported me back to

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 1>my childhood because I was actually born in nineteen eighty,

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>years before you would have even been born. Had you

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>gone into this competition knowing that you were going to

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.679
<v Speaker 1>to lean into the eighties theme, or was that kind

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 1>of constructed in the edit by like the producers of

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the Australian Idol Factory.

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, I mean I always sort of thought that,

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, to have to want to you know, when

0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.719
<v Speaker 2>I came to the competition, that the main thing I

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.719
<v Speaker 2>wanted to do was do cool music. But I knew

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 2>that if I wanted to do cool music that people knew,

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.559
<v Speaker 2>I'd have to go back a decade or two. So

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I'd have to go back to the eighties to sort

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 2>of find the balance of like, really cool music that's

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>really that I find really interesting to my ear and

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 2>something stuff that I'm really proud to sing and that,

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 2>but also that balance of you know, stuff that people

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:35.599
<v Speaker 2>actually know.

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Is your playlist actually filled with eighties tracks like Richard Mars?

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Like are you listening to Richard Marks? Over listening to

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.319
<v Speaker 1>musicians like Drake and Benson Boone?

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how are you? I'm listening? My favorite Richard Marks

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:49.599
<v Speaker 2>track of all time is Keep Coming Back and the

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Summer Nights. Those are my two favorite Richard Mark songs.

0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.599
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I've listened to tons and tons of

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.839
<v Speaker 2>Toto and yeah, just all Michael McDonald's Deevie Wonder all

0:11:58.920 --> 0:11:59.440
<v Speaker 2>of the above.

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I love the mention of Endless Summer nights. I have

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>such a strong connection to that song. I live in

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>an apartment in Melbourne and I had this guy that

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>lived downstairs for I don't know, like eight to ten years,

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:11.839
<v Speaker 1>and he'd bought a guitar. I don't think he was

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>a musician. I don't think he was very good with

0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.559
<v Speaker 1>his guitar, but he would just play the same riff

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.839
<v Speaker 1>you know from that song again and again, and it's

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of one of my favorite eighties tracks. It never

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 1>really bothered me.

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh there you go. That's a great song.

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>It's actually probably not the right time to talk about

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 1>this because this is all very fresh, But have you

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>thought about how you're going to step outside of the

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Australian Idol the reality TV side of things and craft

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>career as a musician.

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I mean I've been writing a lot of songs.

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I write a lot of songs before Idol, and I

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 2>was writing a lot of songs during Idol as well.

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 2>So I'm really sort of getting to work on diginal

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 2>album to release and get that produced and ready to

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 2>release of the public, and then get ready for a

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 2>get a show together and get that ready to sort

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 2>of take on tour.

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, does Channel seven or Australian Idol producers. Do they

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.439
<v Speaker 1>offer you management, Like, how does that work now that

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>you've come out of the show.

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm with him. I think I'm talking about

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.719
<v Speaker 2>to talk to a management company. The management company that

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 2>with Idle has entertainment and so sort of don't have

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 2>a chat about the future and you know, our plans

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 2>for what's going to happen in the next couple of

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 2>weeks and over the next year. But yeah, I mean

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 2>actually at the moment, there is a Winners album coming

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 2>out which is just full of tracks of my all

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 2>of the stuff that I've done for on Idol, So

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.199
<v Speaker 2>like all of the all the as the Days go by,

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Hire Love of you know, all the above beautiful things,

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 2>all that sort of stuff coming out pretty soon, so

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, while wait, while you're waiting for my original music,

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 2>you can have a listen to that as well.

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you actually know at this stage whether they're going

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>to be just the short versions that you sung on

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.199
<v Speaker 1>the show or have you actually already been into the

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 1>recording studio and had those songs recorded as longer versions

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>like the extended version for the album.

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 2>I think I think that just pretty much just as

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 2>the as you heard on idol was like a little

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 2>bit of a little bit of cleaning up to make

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.959
<v Speaker 2>them really polished. And yeah, so it be really cool.

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually excited to I'm excited to Rea hear it

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:22.440

<v Speaker 1>what are you going to do to celebrate? Man?

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you go out and have a drink? Are you

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.080
<v Speaker 1>just going to get onto the gaming? Like for a

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 1>person like yourself, what do you do to celebrate something

0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 1>as amazing as this?

0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm going to really relax for a bit, play

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 2>play a couple of video games. I haven't not played

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 2>a single video game for like two months.

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>People probably won't believe that it's you, right, They'll be like,

0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe that I'm gaming against Marshall Hamburger or.

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 2>No, probably not.

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably going to sound like such a boomer when

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I say this, but I'm assuming you have a handle,

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>like a name that you play with. Are you allowed

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>to tell me who your alias is?

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 2>My alias that I use a lot on PlayStation is

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 2>called Rosanna Year.

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, you know what, Marshall, I think I

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 1>could probably talk to you forever. And honestly, I'm so

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>excited for you. I've been on this journey with you

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 1>right from the start. I think that Australia has one

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent picked the right person. And you know what, Marshall,

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 1>you know when I finished this podcast, every time I

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>ask people for a behind the scenes secret, I'm wondering,

0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 1>can you help me? What's a behind the scenes secret

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 1>from your idle journey?

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Behind the scenes secret? Well, I know, I mean, I mean,

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 2>there were lots of I tell you, there were lots

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 2>of watch parties of the show happening, and I'll I'll

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 2>make William's room and Jake Joe dead for lots of

0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 2>parties James's room as well.

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Is there a leader of the pack amongst the top twelve,

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>like who's Queen Bee at the top that sort of

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>sets the tone for what everyone's doing.

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, honestly, I don't know. It is hard

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 2>to tell. I mean, Jack, but Jaimen is a funny bugger.

0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 2>He's always he's always got a guitar. He's like he's

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 2>like he's like guys. I wrote a song yesterday he's like, yeah,

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 2>he's like chilling around, like playing his guitar, and you know,

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 2>there's honestly, and I list I was just sort of

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 2>sort of like a sort of but she sort of

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 2>hangs around in the background. I don't think what they

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 2>said in her packackets the last night was a perfect description.

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 2>She's definitely a dark horse now. She used to see

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 2>her and she's like, oh yeah, I'm Ilish hi, and

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 2>she goes on stage and she absolutely kills it.

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>She absolutely killed it. And I have to say to you,

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I am a little obsessed with Eilish as well, so

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I will be following her idol journey post all of

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 1>this idle madness. But Marshall, you are our twenty twenty

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 1>five winner and I'm thrilled, absolutely thrilled to have had

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the chance to chat with you today. So wishing you
