56
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,440

57
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 4: to call up and get through and make up a

58
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: rap and if you got through and you could do

59
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 4: a rap, you could win tickets and all these posters

60
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: and everything for eight miles. So I had a cousin

61
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: down from South Australia and the whole week that she

62
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: was down and we're trying absolutely every night to get through.

63
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 4: And on her final night, we got through and we

64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: were just spitting rhymes and we won.

Speaker 1: I love to hear it. I love to hear the

68
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: rhyme that won the eight mile game.

69
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: We probably said something about bee rabbit in there or something,

70
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 4: but it's gone. I can't even remember the song. I

71
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,920

Speaker 1: station competition you try to win.

78
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: Make we won fifty grand back in nineteen ninety eight, I.

79
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: Think, I mean fifty grand now is a huge chunk

80
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: of money, but in ninety eight that's only even more money.

81
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: Well done. What did you do? Secret sound?

82
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a secret sound on one of your rival stations?

83
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: Who who was it? Look?

84
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: I want to tell it. I want to tell it.

85
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: Tell anyone else, but I'll tell you double tfm.

86
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: Oh, when do you needs to be a sister station?

87
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: Which is double T became mixed and then minus Yeah

88
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: you see right, Okay, you won fifty What was the

89
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: secret soundback in ninety eight?

90
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta crack yourself laughing. But I was

91
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: actually ripping dunny paper off the port roll?

92
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? And how long would it run for? Because they

93
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: flugged the backside of them. They go for weeks.

94
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I think it ran for

95
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: million months to get up to fifty grand, because I

96
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: sort of started ten then built its way up.

97
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: Yeah.

98
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 2: Anyway, by memory, they sort of start off with a

99
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: small little clipp at there got a little bit longer.

100
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: But the scary thing is we actually we called that

101
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: many times that we when we got through actually a

102
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 2: different answer, and luckily we kept getting through. Were no, no,

103
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: we'll go go with the toll paper, and sure enough

104
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: it was the winner.

105
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, that's amazing. And what do you get? Did

106
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: you get the giant check that they used to give away?

107
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: You come into the radio station reception and pose with

108
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: the DJs in and get the classic radio station giant

109
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: check for the local paper photo. Did you have to

110
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: go through all of that?

111
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,120

118
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,919

Speaker 2: I've got a motorbike out of it, so sweet.

121
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, you didn't split it equally three way? I

148
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: up a job as a cleaner at Wembley Stadium. And

149
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: he was the lucky one. He was the cleaner that

150
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: actually used to clean the Queen's sweet And as a

151
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: proud Ozzie would get a newspaper and go and sit

152
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: on the Queen's throne and have a read of the

153
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: newspaper every day and oh mate, yeah he loved that.

Speaker 3: Obviously a lot of brass and gold and all the

155
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: rest of it. But anyway, he stayed in a house

156
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: with a heap of Canadians and ozsies and all the

157
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: rest of it. And when they all buzzed off and

158
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: decided to keep traveling around Europe, all the prospective flags

159
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: from the different countries disappeared. And I have seen the
