1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: I went to bed last night and I heard the

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 2: news that Doug Moray had passed away, and I couldn't

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: sleep last night. I spoke to Doug during the week

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: last week and he wasn't well, and we had a

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: good chat for about ten or fifteen minutes and then

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: the end.

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 3: Do you know how on?

9
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 4: Well?

10
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then at the end of it, I actually

11
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: and I spoke to Miss Lizzie, his partner, and I

12
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: just I cried because I thought, well, that's the last

13
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 2: time I'm going to talk to Doug, and it's a

14
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: He was such a big part of my life as

15
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: a young man who wanted to get into radio. He

16
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: revolutionized what radio is. In those days. You had people

17
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: like Lenn London doing the mystery sound and things like that.

18
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: You wouldn't hear anything about their lives. You wouldn't hear anything.

19
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: You wouldn't hear anything rude or funny. You just they

20
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: stayed in their life.

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was nothing temporary. Doug surrounded himself with some

22
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: of the best comedy writers that we have. Andrew Denton

23
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 3: started with him. Some of the comedy writers I've worked

24
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 3: with over the years started with Doug mulray, and he

25
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 3: did parodies of our popular culture. He was so funny

26
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: and as you were saying earlier, Brendan, you'd stop what

27
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: you were doing to hear it. It was that kind

28
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: of radio. It wasn't background radio.

29
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: When I worked for Ralph Smash Repairs there in Rockdale

30
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: as a laborer in his panel shop, we'd all stop doing.

31
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: We'd all go to handsand in cars and things like that,

32
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: not using the grinders and stuff. So everyone to be

33
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: off the grinder listening to Doug and Ralph and say

34
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: you blake. She can't listen to Moray. He used to

35
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: make us listen to the ABC, which was ready.

36
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 3: To keep working. Yeah, it's funny because Doug was a man.

37
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 3: As I said earlier, he was sort of part cheeky schoolboy,

38
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: part delinquent, part scholar. He was as smart as and

39
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 3: he'd make jokes about Oscar Wild. We'd all laugh at

40
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,919
Speaker 3: jokes about Oscar Wild. He didn't dumb down for anyone,

41
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: but he did still love a Pooh joke. Do you

42
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: remember I was working at them all. I was working

43
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: at the midday show with Ray Martin as a segment

44
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: producer and we're having Doug Mulray on as a guest,

45
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: and I said, Doug's coming on to do his new album,

46
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: to do to talk about his new song, and I said,

47
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: I don't understand it. It's packaged with a peg and

48
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: gloves and the album was you are Soul and Racing.

49
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: We'll think about it. We're ray had to spell out

50
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: the poo joke. I missed it.

51
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: Do you remember you are souls?

52
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 5: My chest is always bare gold cheese on the day

53
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 5: and suddenlyss.

54
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: Jail in my hairs been doing it ray this stream

55
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: of Monday. I could see him there.

56
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 4: There.

57
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: It was, well, you know, we should do tribal drumas

58
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: should beat for this, just Uncle Douk, just the memories

59
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: of Uncle Doug.

60
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 3: Because we're all feeling it today. We've all lost our

61
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: uncle Doug.

62
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: Give us a call, dare say that a lot of

63
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: Sydney is in morning today. Doug Moray passed away yesterday

64
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: and I was lucky enough to not only be inspired

65
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: by Doug, get to meet him, and we, I like

66
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: to say, became friends. And we used to hang out

67
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: and talk. I used to just love picking his brain

68
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: just about stories and things people. I remember how he

69
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: told me how he went from Double J which is

70
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: now Triple J to Triple M. So Rod Muir hired

71
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: Doug to start this brand new rock station in a

72
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: landscape of where you had two SM and two WS

73
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: and two cch. FM was this new new thing and

74
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: they got Doug to do that.

75
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: People only just played music. They didn't have characters and

76
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: they did.

77
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: All they say was, oh, it's twenty six. There goes

78
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: the time. Here's Pete's for cat food warehouse. Doug got

79
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: approached by Rod to come and do the radio show

80
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: at Triple M. Went along there. They go up for

81
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: a big boozy lunch. Then they end up their Five

82
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: Ways hotel at Paddington and they're playing. Rod's playing the

83
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: pinball machine and he says to Doug, oh the ball,

84
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: the balls stuck at the top helped me tip this

85
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: thing over. So the ball gets back. So they're both

86
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: wrestling the pinball machine. Naturally it falls over it.

87
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: Machines are notorious for loving that.

88
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: They're as fragile as anything, and they, of course the

89
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: owner throws Rod me were out into the street and

90
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: bans him from the pub, and Doug's going, that's my

91
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: new boss, this is my future. Seen any money.

92
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: Yet there were a lot of crazy days. Everyone I'm

93
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: sure that's ever worked with Doug will have a story

94
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 3: about the legendary lunches, the hilarity of working in that environment.

95
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: But people worked hard and got good results too. They

96
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: didn't you know, they partied hard, but they worked hard too.

97
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

98
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: And really, for anyone that worked or grew up in

99
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: Sydney at that time, to listen to Doug in the morning,

100
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: it was.

101
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: Just Doug was everything. Doug was everything. He was the zeitgeist.

102
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 3: Everyone listened to Doug.

103
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: We're all Doug addicts and the tribal dramas beating for

104
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: this this morning. Kylie's in Rouse Hill.

105
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 6: Hello, Kylie, Good morning guys. What terribly sad day.

106
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely What are your memories of listening to Doug?

107
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 6: Oh? My god, Doug goes back to my childhood, my

108
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 6: best friend and I who are my best friend? I

109
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 6: lost twenty years ago this week, So I was only

110
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 6: thinking of him because we would play those records and

111
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 6: take off the characters. We would do the Two Lands

112
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 6: and things like that, and then when I got older,

113
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 6: I would listen to him religitously. I'm so up there

114
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 6: that I would listen to him every morning before school

115
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 6: or then going to work. And I remember one time

116
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 6: there was I think he was trying to retire or something,

117
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 6: and he would have his last day and I chucked, Asiki,

118
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 6: it was not going to miss it. I had to

119
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 6: listen to it. And then of course he came back

120
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 6: a couple of months later, you know. But another thing

121
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 6: I remember, I had friends that went to America to

122
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 6: you know, they had scholarships for sporting scholarships over there,

123
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 6: and they would say, can you take me the Doug

124
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 6: Mule Ray Show and send it over? So I was

125
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 6: always sending tapes to America casettes over absolutely, you know.

126
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 6: And Amanda, you would remember this like with Andrew remember

127
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 6: the boy Jenieus from your door Cricket? Yes, you know

128
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 6: they used to play Do you remember they used to

129
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 6: play this like handbag throwing competition and it was hand Oh.

130
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: It made you think of your friend today.

131
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 6: I can't.

132
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: Like.

133
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 6: I actually wrote a little book when she passed, and

134
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 6: I would talk about what we did, and I would

135
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 6: talk about how we would sit in her back room

136
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 6: playing the two Rude albums even though we were probably

137
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 6: too young to be listening to them. And then even

138
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 6: as we got older, even into our early twenties, we

139
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 6: would greet each other with heys Vinger, Oh my god.

140
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 6: He was just the best. He was so so good.

141
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 6: And my best friend, one of my best friends now

142
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 6: had the She was fortunate enough to meet him recently

143
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 6: at a bar somewhere somewhere on the Hawksbury or something

144
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 6: I can't remember, and she said he was the most

145
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 6: genuinely like really lovely guy is.

146
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: And he never thought like he was a big deal.

147
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: Doug would always say, you know, it's all over for me.

148
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: I'm not interested in this.

149
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: He didn't want that big limelight. He was so modest,

150
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: did you right, Carli?

151
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: He would always say, oh no, no, what's the fuss?

152
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: What's the.

153
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 4: Man him?

154
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 6: For quite a while and I always hope that he

155
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 6: would come back and do something on radio, like you know,

156
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 6: but obviously he wasn't well.

157
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: But well, no, he just didn't want to do it

158
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: as well.

159
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,800
