Speaker 4: You are very successful here in Australia've written the Warning Musical,

23
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 4: You've been a lot of TV shows in Australia. And

24
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 4: then you have the conversation with your wife and young

25
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 4: family and you go, guys, I want to pick it

26
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 4: all up and roll the dice in New York. How

27
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 4: did that conversation go?

28
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 3: Well, my wife started it because you were sick of

29
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: my winging. I was like, you know, because it's always

30
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 3: been my dream to write on Broadway, but I had

31
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: no idea how to make it happen. And my wife

32
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 3: was like, just buy a ticket, go to New York

33
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: and try. So I just started sort of every six

34
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: months flying in New York, and I found an agent

35
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: and I sort of knocked on doors and that didn't

36
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: really go anywhere. And then I heard the Beetlejuice was

37
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: out to pitch and they said no because they were like,

38
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: who hell is this guy? So I offered to write

39
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: two songs for free and they were like, oh okay,

40
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: and they let me write them and they gave me

41
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: the job. They never met me, they never They just

42
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: I could have had twenty people and have locked in

43
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: a vault writing songs for me for all they knew,

44
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 3: and they gave me the gig. So I just flew

45
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: over and met them. And then that sparked four years

46
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: of writing and we're paying the moment eyewatering amount of

47
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: rent on this very tiny apartment. Had this furious woman

48
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: that lived underneath us, who was old and hated all

49
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 3: the noise, wore making, and one time actually just barged

50
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: into our apartment and yelled at my kids went straight

51
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: for the children just was walked in as a woman

52
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: in the living room. You know, you cannot make those

53
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: noise and the kids were terrified. And the next day rehearsal,

54
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: I said to one of the Americans, I was like,

55
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: this is normal. Then he goes, you know in America

56
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: you can shoot her.

57
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 4: And you want, and you did, and you did, Eddie,

58
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: you killed.

59
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 3: I waited and she never came back.

60
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: No.

61
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm obviously not going to kill an old woman.

62
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: But you know, it is nice to know your options.

63
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: It's good to know. We did hear that bettle juice

64
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 2: sort of you wrote beetle Juice. Was it over four

65
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: years that you put better Juice together? Yeah, so commercial

66
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: radio doesn't work like that. It's much tighter. So we

67
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,480
