10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: I usually, would you always watch it? I do? I

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: always watch it. But I've been lucky in the past

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: because I've.

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: Been on the corporate teat and I've been invited to

14
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,440

Speaker 2: all not like that.

22
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: The thing about it is the corporate teat is so

23
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: good and they really look after you whenever. If you

24
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,560

Speaker 1: something like that, just go. Just doesn't matter if you're about.

26
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,399

35
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 3: you know.

36
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,279
Speaker 2: Okay, corporate teat blah blah blah.

37
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you could be like mixing up with

38
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: Sam Armitage or Jennifer Hawkins and you're explaining V eight

39
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: cars and they're enjoying you. You're all part of it.

40
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: You're all part of it.

41
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: It hasn't always been like that. I want you to

42
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: tell the story of what happened that year that you

43
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: had to take some listeners and it was the opposite.

44
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: Jones Jonesy's Dirty Weekend.

45
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: It's the opposite of corporate tea.

46
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: Well, what happened with that was I went to Bathurst

47
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: on the corporate teat with some guys from I think

48
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: it was the sole attempt people who were lovely and

49
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: we're there and we had this is my first time

50
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: on the corporate teat at the he stop.

51
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: Saying corporate teat, I do find it off. Okay, corporate event,

52
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: you invited on a corporate to equipment.

53
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: So this is two thousand and three. We go along

54
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: there and I'm talking to these guys and one of

55
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: them mentions, well, the twenty four hour race is coming

56
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: up early in November or whatever.

57
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: What about we do I think called Jones's Dirty Weekend,

58
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: and we come here and we stay for twenty four

59
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: hours and watch the race, and we bring listeners. And

60
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: I said, that sounds great, that sounds like a great idea.

61
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: So anyway, we put it to the promotions department at WS.

62
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 3: But the promotions department back in those days, it wasn't

63
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: really one.

64
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: They didn't know.

65
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: We have a brilliant one now.

66
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: We have a great one now. But back then, you know,

67
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 3: when I first came here, this place.

68
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: Had no idea. Honestly, they had no idea.

69
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: And so where I used to work with you over

70
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: at Osteria, they had this old called a promise made

71
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: is a promise to live it.

72
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: So if you're giving away a prize, you have to

73
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: live up to that promise. Here they didn't quite understand that.

74
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: So I ended up going for Jonesy's Dirty Weekend, but

75
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 3: none of the prizes matched up with it. So all

76
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: these listeners that came along, they didn't have accommodation, they

77
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: didn't have food vouchers, they didn't have anywhere to have.

78
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: A meal or do anything.

79
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: And Peter Brock was still alive back in these days,

80
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: and Bev Brock was there, and she took pity on us,

81
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: and she sort of looked after us all because I

82
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: was running around on the phone trying to get places,

83
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: you know, because one guy couldn't get into the corporate

84
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: tent because he didn't have the right lanyard. So all

85
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: I did was run around organizing stuff for them, making

86
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: calls to people back here and all that sort of stuff.

87
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: So where did you all sleep and eat?

88
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: What happened?

89
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: Well, that was we were supposed to sleep in these

90
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: winner bagos, but the thing was the winner bagas were

91
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: for the backup drivers for the twenty four hour race.

92
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: It's twenty four couldn't take their place, So.

93
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: Bev managed to get us a room just to where

94
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 3: the finish line is of Bathurst.

95
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: It's where the trophy cabinet is.

96
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: And all that sort of stuff, you know, they had

97
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: all the trophies like that where they hand the trophies

98
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: out for the end.

99
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: So I had my you know, I had foresight to

100
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: bring a sleeping bag. So I lay on the sleeping

101
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: bag with a few of the listeners. And as I'm

102
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: just going on the ground, as I'm going off to sleep,

103
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: one of the one of the guys goes, hey, Jonesy,

104
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: get aload of this? What is it?

105
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 3: And he's got the trophy and he's he's got no

106
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 3: pants on it and he's hanging his whole you know

107
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: area into the trophy. Get a load of this like this,

108
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: and I've just got okay, this is that?

109
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: Right? Thank you madam. Again. Then when I'm heading home,

110
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, the next day, driving half I drop it

111
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: the news you know, the service stage, put some fuel

112
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: in the car, and I buy the newspaper and there's

113
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: Brockie drinking at them the same true because he won

114
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: the race. Gee, what did the losers get?

115
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: So that was sucking on the corporate teat.

116
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: That was that was bad corporate tea.

117
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: That was bad corporate teat. And that wouldn't happen now

118
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: at our radio.

119
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: I'm not here, you no, no, because we all those

120
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: guys are gone, you know. They were like, this is

121
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: the new breed that run this place. Now we're the

122
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: best in the business now, of course
