And we do it in October. Yeah, yeah, yes, his
birthday is the fourteenth of November.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Yeh, weird, isn't it November fourteenth? I think its Monday.
September twenty nine is our celebration for Charles Yesterday. Speaking yesterday,
our Premier Roger Cook said that it's ridiculous that WA's
days off this year. We're out of sink of the
national calendar, and it's thinking of doing something about it
pretty well promto.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
What's not I mean, it is a good idea because
they've got they had the King's Birthday one yesterday.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
We had w a day last week.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Yes, so that's.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Two weeks of you know, being out of sync with
each other, with people trying and more and more trying
to you know, do a national kind of work, a.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Situation message with businesses and the like. They're thinking that
there might be a shake up as early as next year,
if not next year twenty twenty six, then twenty twenty
seven as well, and truly on the cards. And we
don't have quite as many public holivails.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
And this is the bit that people are most interesting.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Of course that Rogers said, maybe we should have another
one to bring us into line more.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
In fact, Victoria and the Act have thirteen. We have eleven.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
But you know they have they have days off of
horse races and Grand Final parades.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
They don't they have Cup days. We don't have Cup Day.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, mind you this whole our Cup is on the
first yeah perf Cup.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Yeah. However, people who come from the United States of
America are going you have that many holidays, holidays out
of there so few?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
What did we do?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
We do already have quite a few, but we do
have a pretty good see here's the premiere.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Brought it up.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Yeah, Agaman Roger, we will.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Ask the question, what should we have another public holiday for?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Yeah, text line is open zero four seven six thirty
six ninety six ninety six. Are on the phone this morning,
thirteen ten sixty five and you might be celebrating yourself.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yes, you could be off to the Red Hot Summer
Tour presents, Crowded House and more on Saturday, the sixth
of December at Sanderford. Once, what should we have another
public holiday for?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
What do you reckon? If you got any ideas well?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
On Scott's birthday nice, I like then that'd be a
popular choice.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Tie that into the Highway to Hell and we'll do
we'll see that was the way again.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That was so good.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Jeez, that was a great day.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That should be a Robin manual.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
You with a black T shirt and forty ers people
around around my way. I reckon we should have a
leases going to the gym public holiday, right because I
think this is this is a big deal, all right,
and you can use it to motivate, motivate people to
go I've known you for a long time, motive people
to go to the gym. And then we can all
come back the next day and complain about how the
personal trainer has got us got the burn going on?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yes, okay, all right, fine, that.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Went down well. Well, Roger Cook, the Premier, you're talking
about maybe adding another holiday next year all the year after.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So we post the question to you what should we
have another public holiday for?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And it's been a.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Bit of interest, funny that people.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Keen people gain.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Here's some of the suggestions on the text. Darren said,
definitely Quaker's birthday, Cocker birthday, a.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Day for the at the end of June for everyone
to do their tax.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Oh, that's a bit of that's definitely a random one. Yeah,
Tim and Boll divers. That was Luke by the way,
and Alan Brook. Tim and Bowl Diver said, we have
the King's birthday, but we celebrate the Prime Minister's birthday.
Wasted opportunity time and then there have been some votes
for your own birthday.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Oh right, people here get their birthday off on the radio.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
That makes it a bit difficult. So someone mentioned the
primis look bend the Elbow day or something ben.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
To the Elbow day.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
That would be Bob's birthday with.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, absolutely, thanks for your text and the calls coming
into Kenning Vale.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Can I Peter, Hello, good, we have another of the holiday.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
For so the celebration of your life.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Okay, okay, your birthday, your birthday.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Your birthday. Everyone their own birthday off.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
So, like we said, some birthday.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
And that for me would be today.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Birthday.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Have the authoritized tell you to take the day off.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
But maybe if.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Any business doesn't let Peter have the day off is
a bum.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I don't think that. Thanks Peter, Peter a celebration of
life day.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
The only problem with that is it wouldn't be a Monday.
It would be all everyone would have a different day, and.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I would imagine there's not a lot of small businesses
really big on the idea of more public holidays.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
No, but two tickets to see the Red Hot Summer
Tour presenting Crowded House and More on Saturday, the sixth
of December at Sandford winds up for grabs on thirteen
ten sixty five or zero four seven six ninety six
ninety six ninety six, Roger Cook said, we might get
another public holidays. So what should we have another public
holiday for tia in the west.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Here in Wa. Absolutely the premier is saying that, and
they'll have what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Andrew in Woodville says, and I remember this back in
the seventies we used to get a holiday for a
public holiday.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
For the Royal Show.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
That's right, But I think the thing is that our
King's birthday, as nicoll it Queen's our King's birthday, Monday
holiday is the weekend now last weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yes, it was often the first of October. Yeah, I
kind of it.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
We still there's there's usually a day during the show off.
But yes, it's not specifically for the Royal Show.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
They just found a way around that one edge.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
It feels cool that it's generally the AFL Grand Final weekend,
long weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Carolyn, and you kind said we should have a public
holiday to celebrate drivers knowing how to merge properly. Well,
this is Caroline. How how likely is that going to
be that it will happen?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Do we need some stats that we've improved, We.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Need something that we can actually legitimately.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Mark want something tangible. Yeah, it's got to busk.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Jeff, I had one might laughing, we have to laugh.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Sorry you reckon? Just stop, Jeff, just stop, have a think.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
Yeah, just enjoy.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
No one wants to go to work, so why not

Speaker 2 (07:06):
We used to call chucking a city having a mental.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Health I'm self employed, so I.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Don't chuck cities.
Speaker 5 (07:19):

got the problem with it, Like are you okay?

started talking about it, trying to line us up with
the East Coast.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
A lot of people on the text are suggesting their

Speaker 3 (11:11):
The West Coast Eagles lost to North Melbourne by ten
points and hands over in BUMBARRII on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Sixty two to fifty two. Elliott, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Now people are saying that this was well, I mean,
last week we all talked about how great the game
was against Geelong. This week people are saying this was
the hardest game of football to watch this season.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Yeah, I would not disagree, Oh yeah I can.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, fair enough you concur.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, there was a lot of errors. There was a
lot of inaccurate shots on goal.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
There was a lot of inside fifties for little Yeah,
we dominated the game for three quarters, so we'ren't able
to capitalize hit the scoreboard with points not.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Goals and third quarter.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
Yeah, and I probably.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Gave us the mods too as well. I said, Yeah,
I was watching, said missus. I was like, look, floodgates
a open. We're going to roll away with this now.
And then halfway through the fourth I was like, oh no,
we're going to lose this.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
It felt like that last quarter it was three blokes
from North. It was she's all Parker with his experience
and yeah and Simpkin. It felt like those three blokes
they just got the run going through. Yeah, that was
the difference.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yep, yeap.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Their leaders obviously stood up, so Shane, we couldn't get
on top of it and capitalize when we had most
of the momentum, which was for three quarters. So I
don't think I don't think we're I think it would
be one of the only teams in the history of
the AFL that have had that many inside fifties and lost.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
We joked a bit about that Bumbry breeze.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
But to be fair, you know, when you look at
the the goal kicking, the point kicking, did it factor in.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I look at Oscar was significantly windy, yeah, but I.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Didn't for North they kicked their goals, so when they
had that opportunity something like yeah, yeah, I mean we
can kind of blame it on the win.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
But like sadly like there.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Was just some horrible light set shots, which is something
we're working on. But yeah, look, I don't think that
the breeze can play injoy it too.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Because they're both playing well, you're both playing both ends, correct, Yeah,
that's right. Yeah. Reben Jenby, Reuben Jenby should not be
beating himself up. It sounds like he's a little bit
He's getting roles on taller blokes. Yeah, more experienced players
every week. It looks exhausted.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Yeah, but that's part of the whole learning process and
the curve and that, and at least these compared to
previous years where there's been a massive amount of inside
fifties and you just get inundated, it's a little bit
different this year, which is good. I mean, it probably
gives it back a bit more of a reprieve, but
it's still hard work.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yeah, they haven't got GUV helping out and.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Haven't and haven't got probably one of the best defenders
in the game, if not in West Coast, he stay
playing back there helping you out. So yeah, tough gig
for him, but he's actually I feel like you're standing
up and doing what he needs to do. And I
actually think that that's also a silver lining in the
sense that he's able to get a lot more experience
(14:16):
by himself and try and find his own way as
quick as possible.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Injuries a larger who it looked like he injured his
foot at one stage.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It connected with someone's hand.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I mean it was hands over hands and he was
off for a bit, but he managed He managed to
come back on and finish the game.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
So is he okay.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
He ran it out, so I'd assume he's okay.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Off off.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
I saw him in the football club yesterday. It seemed
all right. So yeah, I'm hopeful that. Yeah, I'm hopeful
that it won't be too much of an issue. Probably
just one of those nice little bruce foot and where
you go.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Not much chance for RB, Yeah, not much chance for
Rubbo willing to make a difference in those few minutes
right at the very end. Yeah, it's tough, as I
guess he was running laps or running up and down
the over afterwards too.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Yeah oh yeah, and as a sub to you'd be
you'd be itching again. Yeah, but yeah, I think Minnie
said as well, he could have handled that one a
bit better. But yeah, look, to be honest, I think
Bowie's going to be a good player for us. So yeah,
as much as we can get some minutes into him,
or the more minutes we can get to him, the better.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
At that level, and Mini Andrew bick Weilder the coach,
he would have been thinking, we're real shoeing here, not shoeing,
but a real chance to win this quarter of time,
I think.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
So to quarter And I'm only speaking from my perspective
and my point of view, but he probably would have
just been so focused on structure, game plan everything rather
than you know, the sub and what the sub could
do tactically and all that out of handle I think,
so yeah, and he probably looked at the clock and went,
oh god, let's get him out on the type of things.
So yeah, yeah, but again I'm only speaking from my perspective.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I could be completely wrong from your land room perspective.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Yeah the arm chair all right, Well, at.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Least the team gets to stay in town this week
ended up to stadium your face, Carlton, the Old Navy
Blues on Sunday bounce down. Is it's a late one
four to ten time on a Sunday.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's a bit different, interesting.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
And time to clean the ground after the Dockers North game.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
And yeah, double double header. The Blues are currently sitting
eleventh on the ladder. They did have an eight.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Point win over Essendon on the weekend, so they're feeling
pretty good.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Yeah. Look, they're a good team, but they're just struggling
to find the four quarters.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Same like us, same so even match.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
So yeah, I mean, yeah, it's a winnable game, but
every game is winnable, and if we're going into it
thinking that that it wasn't, then what's the point of
rocking up exactly? So yeah, it's certainly going to be
an interesting, interesting game. I feel like we can take
the points, so I'm excited to see what we can do.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I'll be making any unsolicited assumptions though during the game
this time.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
And let's let's kick some girls.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Yeah, traveling, it's your load. What are you up to?
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Good? Yeah, starting to progress now, which is which is
a good sign. So hopefully you can get more load
in the legs and just continue to build up in
the next couple of weeks and then tick a few
more boxes and then hopefully put my hands up, you know,
for the last sort of month or so and go
from there get fit.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Another note, how's fatherhood going, Elliott?
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
It's hard work.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Yeah, it's the hardest job you'll evidence.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
No, No, it's literally trial and error with everything, but
it is also the best and most rewarding job in
the world. Like, yeah, no, matter how much you know,
you could have eighty five percent of hard work. And
just like that. She's a bit crooked at the moment
with a bit of the fluid. We all are, and
(17:44):
probably caught it off your last week. But yeah, yeah,
and as much as you know, the late nights and
the sickness and all that stuff, like the tiny little
hand shoul give you the nicest little cuddle or anything
like that, and it just makes she dies so much better.
So coming home to her after a hard day. It's
(18:04):
just it's the best.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
No, you can tell it like you're wearing it on
your face. So it's like a different Elliott this year,
Daddy Elliott.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I love it. Yeah, I've always wanted to be a dad.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, and yeah, it's just it's the.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Best job in wor Yeah, it's words kind of you.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Put him in the back of the car, dripping and
go everything.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
I enjoy it until she's like fifteen, sixteen, and she's
having a crack of me. She's having a crack at
me because she wants to stay at a boyfriend's house.
And I'm saying, no, that's not happening.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yeah, that's not happening. At fourteen, I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
All right.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Well, in the meantime, Carlton at Optus this Sunday bounced
down the particularly late four ten but nonetheless good luck.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Eagles, cheers, good to see your pa. And then there
were none.
Speaker 3 (18:57):

She's something to a bad story.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
She knows her craft, that woman, and walking out on
that stage every night and saying her words, you think, gosh,
she knew how to put a story together and all
the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle and make it all work.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
She really was.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Well, she invented the genre, I mean, the whole genre
of the murder mystery. Yes, everyone else who's done one
since basically has just followed her format absolutely.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Why wouldn't you don't mess with us?
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Not, you know, changing a bit, but not too much.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
And you know, and a group of ten strangers on
an island and then something happens to them one by one.
I mean that's following today with white Lotus and shows.
You know, they're still they're still using Agatha's basic formula
for a play.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, as you say, why mess with it?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
It's like a secret recipe.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Well, as you say, it is about ten strangers invited
to a remote island where their accused of murder and
systematically killed off one by one.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
What is interesting to me is.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Your career really took off when you were cast in
Lord of the flies in nineteen sixty three, another situation
of chaos on a remote island. It's come full circle.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's really interesting that you would say that it actually
is true. I mean hadn't occurred to me, but it
actually has thirty boys on an island and one by
one they start picking each other off. Yeah, you know,
and I guess that's what both William Golding and Agatha
Christie probably thought. Human beings when there is no responsibility.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
And there are no ripper cushions.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
You know, they can turn into pretty feral animals.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, which is sounding too much like cruise ships at times. Well,
that's right, greatly.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
This is about the you know, the fragility of human morality.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
That's right. I think that right.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
And that's what this play essentially is about, is how
people can avoid taking responsibility for their own behavior. Yeah,
and then when it's they're forced to confront it. You
know what a devastating thing that can be.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Exactly right.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
I mean we're all.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Backstage following the mushroom murder trial, that's right, you know,
And is she isn't she?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Is?
Speaker 5 (21:23):
She isn't she?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And who's to say? But it's again, it's that fascinating dynamic.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Especially with so much widespread coverage of that story nineteen
sixty three. When you think about that really early days,
that's the height of the Beatles success and all that. Yeah,
I believe it's that long ago.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
I know, it's amazing to me.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well, in fact, and then when we did Sound of
Music in late sixty three, early sixty four, as you say,
I mean all the girls who played my sisters in
the film were just obsessed with the Beatles.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
In fact, I.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Think we all learned all the Beatles songs by osmosis
because riding to location every day in our little mini van,
that's what was sung in the minivan every single day.
And I think the songs from the movie No, no, no, no,
it was more.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
It was more love.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Lovely, and I must have done something good.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Yeah, you said the Sound of Music.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Let's let's get to that.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
You were Friedrich von Trapped in my favorite movie full time,
The Sound of Music.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I will never hear a bad word about it. And
it turns sixty. I can't believe it.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
And I'm going to Salzburg for the sixtieth anniversary in October.
October twenty third is the actual day that it first
appeared in cinemas around the world. And so on October
twenty third, there's a big gala at Salzburg. I'm the
guest of honor, and then there is the next night,
the Captain's Ball. Yes really, and so I'm practicing my
(22:49):
waltzing backstage every night.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
And yeah, I think it's going to be great.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And you know, it's interestingly so you say it's your
favorite film and you won't hear a word against it.
Speaker 7 (22:59):
The other person who world is Hugh Grant. Oh, and
you can see.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
There's a few YouTube clips of him getting very stoppy
with journalists because.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
You know, sometimes people like to sort of have a
laugh about it.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And he absolutely, you know, he says it's a perfect film.
There's not one frame in that movie that's wrong. It's
not He will defend it to the dam.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
It's very particular, it's very it's very close to my heart, Nicholas,
because my grandmother suffered terribly with agrophobia, didn't like to
leave the house, but she went to see the Sound
of Music. I think it was seven or eight times.
She asked theater because it used to be a theater,
(23:43):
a picture theater, and as as us kids sort of
grew up. She would every time it came back on
at the cinema, because it would sort of come, you know,
and go away and come back on. She would take
whoever was, you know, sort of like the age to
go and see it at that time. And so it's
but I mean, I would have loved it anyway, but
it has a very special Yes.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, you know, I've heard stories like that all my
life which make it so gratifying to me, and I
feel so privileged to have been in something that did
have such a significance for so many people. I had
a lady come up to me in Chicago once and
said her husband was a soldier in Vietnam and when
(24:22):
he came back he suffered terrible PTSD and was having
very severe suicidal thoughts. And she sat him down and
played the sound of music for him every day for
three months and that got him out of it.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Music therapy.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, well seriously, And you know, so everybody's got that story.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Not to mention.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
All my friends when they have toddlers, they say it
is the best babysitter.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
In the world.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
You put a three year old in front of that
DVD and there's twice three hours.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Well, I'm glad that sixty years down the track you
still like to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
It's not like, oh, the son of music question, not
at all.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I'm so proud of having been a part of it,
even just a small part of something that made.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Such a difference to so many lives and.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Still does to special event. I'm asking on the behalf of.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I'm sure we could do something, my Milt.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
I know people who know people. If you come, we
can make it happen.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Spider Man, another great film that you've made evolved.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
In I did.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I created the character of Peter Parker. He'd never been
done before. Is a live you know, as a human being.
There had been there had been animated vert of course,
so we were just flying blind.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
We didn't know what we were doing.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
And I did say to them, you know, when they
said will you do it?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
And I said, are you sure I'm the one you want?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Because I assume they wanted kind of an Arnold Schwarzenegger,
a sort of person. I didn't really know much about superheroes,
and they said.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
No, no, no, we want a real guy.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
We want someone where the audience forgets he's these superpowers
and You're just get engrossed in Peter's story of his
own story, his own life, and you know, a girl
is interested in him, but he can't get too close
to her because he's not allowed to let her know
the secret.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
And you know, and and how that would be.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
And I thought, well, that's interesting that I think I
can do.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Absolutely So we did it, and and it went well,
and it was the highest rated show in American television.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
And of course now now.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
It's a multi billion so big.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I mean, I've told Lista this story, which is a
bit on a honeymoon. We've ended up in New York
and the only show I've ever seen on Broadway was
the Spider Man Musical spider Man. But the influence just
keeps running. What do you think of Tom Holland's days.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Very I think, frankly, I think all three of them.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I think Toby did a great I think Andrew did,
but I really think Tom Holland.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Well, I've had other people come up to.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Me and say, he's the closest to the one I
did you know, he's the closest to just a guy. Yeah,
you know, And I think it's a great performance. You know,
I've and all three of them. You know, you sort
of feel like you're all part of the you know,
I'm in the Sound of Music family, but I'm also
in the Spider Man family.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
And so there's a that's not a bad couple of family.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
And the and the Brady Bunch family.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
You know, of course, having having broken Marsha's nose the football.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
The one that broke he knows well, dump Dumpter had.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
The broken well.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And now in the Agatha Christie family.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
So and now in the Agatha Christian family, which is
a great family to be in, it sure is. And
we have the most wonderful company of actors. I I
sit backstage every night just feeling grateful to be with
these people there. So we've got a few w a
people in the in the show and the whole show.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I got some great talented.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Oh boy do you live?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Oh, I know that I got a.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Very good school.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
I gave it. I gave a talk when I was
out here.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Plus I was out here doing a movie for Bruce
Beresford last September.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
We shot here in wa and in fact, we shot
it at.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
His Majesty's and I went and I spoke at Woppa.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yeah, boy, it is a marvelous school.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
It sure is.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well, it's the only school in the country that really
has a serious music.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Component to it.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
You know, there are other good drama schools, but if
you're interested in musical theater or just in music in singing, yes,
I think why would you not go to Woppa if
you were lucky enough to get in? Absolutely and you
know some of the I mean, you know, Hugh Jackman,
for instance, is a good example. Back in those days,
kind of everyone thought, oh, if they're good, they come
(28:42):
out of neither, they come out of they.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Come out of Nier and then they go to Woppa.
That's right, they come out great.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
That is exactly well.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Hugh in many ways he kind of he kind of
changed that thinking because I remember seeing him in Beauty
and the Beast when no.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
One knew who it was and everybody went.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Who is that?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You know, and that kind of for the first time
he really put the school on the map nationally and internationally.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Because I think he got plucked out just before graduating too.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
For mind you, just one quick shout out for Nida
Sarah Snook just one mat Yeah, just was.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
She not playing all those roles?
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Well?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I know, but she was up against very very stiff
competition and very experienced Broadway stars and a.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Great result of succession success, wasn't she great? Brilliant?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Well? And then there were none.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
He's on at His Majesty's Theater from now until June
twenty nine, and as I said, tickets are available through
and then there were none.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Dot com dot au.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
It's been an absolute joy to have you with a society.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
I hope you both come.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, terrific. I will and let me know when you're there.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
And we could possibly have a small glass of something
festive afterwards, as my mother.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Refers to it, something festive.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
My mother says, shall we have a glass of something festive?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I'm always up for a glass of something festive.

Pub Crawl guests this morning are from the Motors, John
Webster and Dave Cook. Good morning, coming in the Motors
and Formula one car fans.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Body on what's going on there? How did the names
come about?
Speaker 8 (33:47):
I have no idea.
Speaker 9 (33:49):
It's probably our agency that put that together, which Brian
Davidson at Focus had had the idea to put together
a yeah, Dave, yeah, man, he's a good fella. Yeah.
So there's just a name. It's marketing, little strategy sposed
motors Motors.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Absolutely, it seemed to work. Yeah, yeah, mate. I can't
believe this, John, it's we're taking your back. But by
playing that song you just walked in and where we
haven't heard this for a while. What year did that
one come out? And what is there a story behind
that song? In the winner.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
Yeah, that would have been about eighty two. I think
we had that sort of recorded. It was written by
the guy that produced our album, a guy by named
Gary Keady. He's a music producer, film producer.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
Yeah, yeah, one of his little little catalog songs that
he had.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
You recorded an album at Planet Studios, didn't you. It's yeah,
we did, yeah, nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 9 (34:47):
At eighty two. Yeah, it was at the original location
of Planet, which was in Perth because after they moved to.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Yeah, but you guys were playing four nights a week.
We were a really solidly performing on that circle back
in those days.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
How exhausting was it?
Speaker 8 (35:09):
It was a full time job. We were we were
working four nights a week, and we were rehearsing two
days a week on the days off, and we had
one day left where we learnt new material and wrote
new material. So it was pretty much seven days.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Yeah, you've got to be obsessed, don't you, especially when
you're young and hungry.
Speaker 8 (35:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
They've got about influencers. Who were you guys influenced by?
Speaker 9 (35:35):
Well, pretty broad I suppose, because the band was basically
a cover band, so we just we followed the charts. Yeah,
like a lot of stuff coming out of the UK
was good, which is was is exciting and suited our playing.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
I think what we were playing didn't necessarily reflect our
own personal choices, but that was that was what we
were doing.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
But you were you guys were big on right and
performing your own stuff as well, weren't you, And you
must have I feel like at that time you might
have had to push back a bit to be able
to do that because Perth loved to come about in
the eighties. We really did so, but only because we
you know, we didn't have You probably thought, well, you know,
we can give them both and they will come round
(36:18):
to it.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Did you have to push back a bit?
Speaker 9 (36:21):
Yes, certainly that there was always a crowd killer when
you're playing a live gig, just to bring out one
of your own. Yeah, yeah, I guess we had the
concept to just persist with that so that people would
gradually grow to it and learn it. But yeah, it
was always a battle.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I would have thought with the
the you know, the places that you were playing at
as well, the owners of them, they probably wanted you
to you know, play all the covers as well.
Speaker 9 (36:49):
Absolutely for sure, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Yeah, John, Can you tell us of Singapore connection with
the band and what went down there.
Speaker 8 (36:56):
My our manager was Jimmy Lee and he was from
Singapore and he had a good mate who owned the
WA Records in Thailand.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
The label in your mind, So he did a deal
with them to record the album and then we were
going to release it in Asia through WA Records, and
we were then going to do a tour all through
Asia right up to Japan as support for the release
(37:33):
of the album.
Speaker 8 (37:35):
And then WA Records in Sydney found out that an
Australian band had signed with w A in Thailand and
claimed the rights because some sort of corporate rule they had,
and then they seized the tapes for our recording and
(37:57):
locked them in a bank vault in Melbourne. We lost
access to our own album.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Bloody frustrating, exactly.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
They must have been terribly frustrating to sort of be
the victim in the middle of this, you know, sort
of suit fight going on as a bit of a
you know what, swinging competition between these two sides.
Speaker 9 (38:17):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 8 (38:18):
And at the same time we were going through that
transition that you were just referring to, where we were
trying to play more of our own material, yeah, to
actually support that album that we were bringing out. So
and we'd also been forced right in the middle of
that to change our name to Formula one because it was.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
A band in very frustrated in the.
Speaker 8 (38:40):
UK called themselves the Motors. So it all started to
slow down very quickly at that point.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yeah, but frustrating for you guys being you know, creative
types and getting caught up in the business, politics and
the rest of its exactly frustrating. And then getting an
album warehouse.
Speaker 8 (38:56):
Like yeah, yeah, It's funny how musos into their music
that they tend to not be totally aware of what
their management is up to.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (39:07):
Yeah, we were still consumed by our own passions and
it was all just sort of falling exactly area.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
Of yeah, yeah and expertise.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
So we had some great venues in the in the
early eighties that all the bands were playing at seven
nights a week.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
You could go and see a band. Where were some
of your favorites to play?
Speaker 9 (39:28):
Oh well, we played played like a range of plays
that the overflow was on a Thursday night was a ye,
it was a bust. It was pretty huge at the
Marley Park. So back before it become the generator.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
Was just yeah.
Speaker 9 (39:40):
Pub Charles was alther Raffles.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
They still haven't cleaned the carpet at the Charles stick
to it exactly. Yeah, it was good all those places.
Speaker 9 (39:54):
Yeah. Plus every Wednesday we'd often do like a runout
like at the Kelgooley or Albany.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (39:59):
Yeah, Umbri was Yeah, the bustle was a staple.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Actually funny.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
You should mention those rural the regional sort of times.
Did you have an almost famous moment with an emergency
landing in a plane somewhere? I mean, that's a great
rock story, isn't it.
Speaker 9 (40:17):
It was a funny thing because we're going up. I
got a mate who was a was a pilot at
the time and he needed to get get his hours up,
so he said, jump on the plane and flew up
the Jeralton. But we got caught up by a dust
storm terrific. Oh, and we couldn't progress, So we had
the land in the middle of some farmer's paddock.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
And see that's so rock and roll, isn't it.
Speaker 9 (40:36):
Yeah, we were.
Speaker 8 (40:39):
The door of the plane came open while we were
flying along and it buckled with the four plane.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
It wouldn't close Oh my god, get a bowful of dust.
Speaker 8 (40:51):
I took my shoe off and got the shoelace out
of my shoe and tired it on the handle to
the door exactly right, tied the door up, then do
an emergency landing in a farmer's wheatfield.
Speaker 9 (41:08):
Well.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
Having lived in Meriden and Bunbury early days of radio
for me, have you guys like you guys come down
and play? It was a big deal in a country
town to have Bunbury is much more of a country
town back then, but likes of Maridin and Cow it
was a really big deal. Was a whole town would
turn out to see a low gig, Yeah, for sure.
When the bands would visit from Perth, very.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Cool, well, good times it was was great.
Speaker 9 (41:30):
Your very fond memories got.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Some too with the mentals at one stage. Remember really
that that was the way that.
Speaker 8 (41:37):
The Focused Promotions put the band together. Ye. And then
they sent us to Carl Gooley for two weeks and
said here put a put a repertoire together. Yeah, and
your first gig in person in two weeks time. So
we went off to cal Gooley and we started rehearsing
(41:59):
every day and and adding more songs and working in
Calgarley until we actually had a repertoire together, and then
we came back and did our first gig at the Herdsman.
The Herdsman, Yes, that's right, and then.
Speaker 9 (42:11):
Spent the next week after that supporting Metals Anything. We
went out the album.
Speaker 8 (42:16):
Straight on tour after our first gig Memories, and then
after that we went straight on tour with Rene Gaya
and did another two weeks with Rene Gaw And of
course the whole time we were doing all the main
gigs in front of a thousand people every time. So
by the time we eventually got around to coming back
(42:38):
to birth and doing one of our own gigs, they
booked us into the Carron Up Tavern and I remember
we drove it. It was just starting to rain a
little bit when we got there, and there was this
queue coming out of the tavern across the car park
and then round the corner and down the store. And
that was to our first gig after those, so that's
(43:01):
pretty good, and then we knew every thing, so it
was amazing. We came back to town and we were
just sort of like a big band.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
That's brilliant, that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
Well, it has been lovely to reminisce with you this
morning on our pub crawl, John and Dave from the
Motors in ninety six
Speaker 9 (43:18):
A FM, Cleerzi and Lisa
Our Body My Art radio app from ninety six AIRFM
to whenever You're listening Today This is Clesy and Lisa's podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Coming up.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
On the podcast, Nicholas Hammond talks about his play and
Then There Were None and the sound of music because
he was Friedrich turning sixty this year, I had a.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Friend of mine was rather excited. We continue our lowth
pub Crawl series with Johnny Webster and Dave Cook from
the Motors.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
We pay homage to sly Stone who sadly has died.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Our West Coast Eagle Elli Yo thinks he put the
mots are on the team on the weekend and we.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Took your calls on when and what should be w
Way's next public holiday.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yesterday was a public holiday in the East place in
King's birthday, which is not until November.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
And we do it in October. Yeah, yeah, yes, his
birthday is the fourteenth of November.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Yeh, weird, isn't it November fourteenth? I think its Monday.
September twenty nine is our celebration for Charles Yesterday. Speaking yesterday,
our Premier Roger Cook said that it's ridiculous that WA's
days off this year. We're out of sink of the
national calendar, and it's thinking of doing something about it
pretty well promto.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
What's not I mean, it is a good idea because
they've got they had the King's Birthday one yesterday.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
We had w a day last week.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Yes, so that's.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Two weeks of you know, being out of sync with
each other, with people trying and more and more trying
to you know, do a national kind of work, a.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Situation message with businesses and the like. They're thinking that
there might be a shake up as early as next year,
if not next year twenty twenty six, then twenty twenty
seven as well, and truly on the cards. And we
don't have quite as many public holivails.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
And this is the bit that people are most interesting.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Of course that Rogers said, maybe we should have another
one to bring us into line more.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
In fact, Victoria and the Act have thirteen. We have eleven.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
But you know they have they have days off of
horse races and Grand Final parades.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
They don't they have Cup days. We don't have Cup Day.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, mind you this whole our Cup is on the
first yeah perf Cup.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Yeah. However, people who come from the United States of
America are going you have that many holidays, holidays out
of there so few?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
What did we do?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
We do already have quite a few, but we do
have a pretty good see here's the premiere.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Brought it up.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Yeah, Agaman Roger, we will.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Ask the question, what should we have another public holiday for?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Yeah, text line is open zero four seven six thirty
six ninety six ninety six. Are on the phone this morning,
thirteen ten sixty five and you might be celebrating yourself.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yes, you could be off to the Red Hot Summer
Tour presents, Crowded House and more on Saturday, the sixth
of December at Sanderford. Once, what should we have another
public holiday for?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
What do you reckon? If you got any ideas well?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
On Scott's birthday nice, I like then that'd be a
popular choice.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Tie that into the Highway to Hell and we'll do
we'll see that was the way again.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That was so good.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Jeez, that was a great day.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
That should be a Robin manual.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
You with a black T shirt and forty ers people
around around my way. I reckon we should have a
leases going to the gym public holiday, right because I
think this is this is a big deal, all right,
and you can use it to motivate, motivate people to
go I've known you for a long time, motive people
to go to the gym. And then we can all
come back the next day and complain about how the
personal trainer has got us got the burn going on?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yes, okay, all right, fine, that.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Went down well. Well, Roger Cook, the Premier, you're talking
about maybe adding another holiday next year all the year after.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So we post the question to you what should we
have another public holiday for?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And it's been a.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Bit of interest, funny that people.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Keen people gain.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Here's some of the suggestions on the text. Darren said,
definitely Quaker's birthday, Cocker birthday, a.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Day for the at the end of June for everyone
to do their tax.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Oh, that's a bit of that's definitely a random one. Yeah,
Tim and Boll divers. That was Luke by the way,
and Alan Brook. Tim and Bowl Diver said, we have
the King's birthday, but we celebrate the Prime Minister's birthday.
Wasted opportunity time and then there have been some votes
for your own birthday.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Oh right, people here get their birthday off on the radio.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
That makes it a bit difficult. So someone mentioned the
primis look bend the Elbow day or something ben.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
To the Elbow day.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
That would be Bob's birthday with.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, absolutely, thanks for your text and the calls coming
into Kenning Vale.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Can I Peter, Hello, good, we have another of the holiday.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
For so the celebration of your life.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Okay, okay, your birthday, your birthday.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Your birthday. Everyone their own birthday off.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
So, like we said, some birthday.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
And that for me would be today.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Birthday.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Have the authoritized tell you to take the day off.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
But maybe if.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Any business doesn't let Peter have the day off is
a bum.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I don't think that. Thanks Peter, Peter a celebration of
life day.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
The only problem with that is it wouldn't be a Monday.
It would be all everyone would have a different day, and.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I would imagine there's not a lot of small businesses
really big on the idea of more public holidays.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
No, but two tickets to see the Red Hot Summer
Tour presenting Crowded House and More on Saturday, the sixth
of December at Sandford winds up for grabs on thirteen
ten sixty five or zero four seven six ninety six
ninety six ninety six, Roger Cook said, we might get
another public holidays. So what should we have another public
holiday for tia in the west.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Here in Wa. Absolutely the premier is saying that, and
they'll have what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Andrew in Woodville says, and I remember this back in
the seventies we used to get a holiday for a
public holiday.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
For the Royal Show.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
That's right, But I think the thing is that our
King's birthday, as nicoll it Queen's our King's birthday, Monday
holiday is the weekend now last weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yes, it was often the first of October. Yeah, I
kind of it.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
We still there's there's usually a day during the show off.
But yes, it's not specifically for the Royal Show.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
They just found a way around that one edge.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
It feels cool that it's generally the AFL Grand Final weekend,
long weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Carolyn, and you kind said we should have a public
holiday to celebrate drivers knowing how to merge properly. Well,
this is Caroline. How how likely is that going to
be that it will happen?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Do we need some stats that we've improved, We.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Need something that we can actually legitimately.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Mark want something tangible. Yeah, it's got to busk.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Jeff, I had one might laughing, we have to laugh.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
Well, I know this is all about fun and that,
but I reckon we should have like mental health day
stay off.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Sorry you reckon? Just stop, Jeff, just stop, have a think.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
Yeah, just enjoy.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
No one wants to go to work, so why not
have a mental health stay and had the day off.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
We used to call chucking a city having a mental.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Health I'm self employed, so I.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Don't chuck cities.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Yeah, yeah, I just think.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I just think we'll be healthy. Everyone knows someone that's
got the problem with it, Like are you okay?
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Day?
Speaker 8 (07:26):
Just have a mental health day and have a public holiday,
just to really acknowledge it.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Cool, thanks chair, Jeff.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Nice?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
What about you? Sheila and warn Brough? What do you
think we should have a public holiday for.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
Sheila?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
What do you reckon? Sheila?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Hello, I think hello, Hey, I think a telethon day.
A telethon day.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It is a big occasion, isn't a telephone Maybe like
they have the Grand Final Parade a day off on
a Friday in Melbourne, we could have it on the
before telethon starts.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Absolutely make a bit more money.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I'm making another day. A few people in the office
just had a cornery but more planning.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
A telethon day. Thanks Sheila, thank you.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
It's a very west I.
Speaker 3 (08:17):

go down there near the statue and.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Murray, where are you? You've got I know you agree.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
He's a Bondie man.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
He's thinking, Oh, what's a given?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Maybe we had to we have to wait for that
movie they're making about Bond's early years in before the Yeah,
okay holiday, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
They could market we could all go see it on
that day.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Absolutely, Yeah, chuck a block of the cinema. Ideax Street
will be a busy cinema that day. We're talking about
having another public holiday, at least one more. The premier
started talking about it, trying to line us up with
the East Coast.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
A lot of people on the text are suggesting their
own birthday, which a lot of a lot of workplaces do.
Now I know this, we do, but obviously a lot
still join't either. Your own birthday off that is joe
In Baksi Grove has a great suggestion America's Cup Day

September twenty six is also the date of the first
time we won the AFL first won the NFL Grand far.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
The West Coast Eagles lost to North Melbourne by ten
points and hands over in BUMBARRII on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Sixty two to fifty two. Elliott, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Now people are saying that this was well, I mean,
last week we all talked about how great the game
was against Geelong. This week people are saying this was
the hardest game of football to watch this season.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Yeah, I would not disagree, Oh yeah I can.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, fair enough you concur.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, there was a lot of errors. There was a
lot of inaccurate shots on goal.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
There was a lot of inside fifties for little Yeah,
we dominated the game for three quarters, so we'ren't able
to capitalize hit the scoreboard with points not.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Goals and third quarter.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
Yeah, and I probably.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Gave us the mods too as well. I said, Yeah,
I was watching, said missus. I was like, look, floodgates
a open. We're going to roll away with this now.
And then halfway through the fourth I was like, oh no,
we're going to lose this.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
It felt like that last quarter it was three blokes
from North. It was she's all Parker with his experience
and yeah and Simpkin. It felt like those three blokes
they just got the run going through. Yeah, that was
the difference.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yep, yeap.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Their leaders obviously stood up, so Shane, we couldn't get
on top of it and capitalize when we had most
of the momentum, which was for three quarters. So I
don't think I don't think we're I think it would
be one of the only teams in the history of
the AFL that have had that many inside fifties and lost.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
We joked a bit about that Bumbry breeze.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
But to be fair, you know, when you look at
the the goal kicking, the point kicking, did it factor in.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I look at Oscar was significantly windy, yeah, but I.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Didn't for North they kicked their goals, so when they
had that opportunity something like yeah, yeah, I mean we
can kind of blame it on the win.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
But like sadly like there.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Was just some horrible light set shots, which is something
we're working on. But yeah, look, I don't think that
the breeze can play injoy it too.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Because they're both playing well, you're both playing both ends, correct, Yeah,
that's right. Yeah. Reben Jenby, Reuben Jenby should not be
beating himself up. It sounds like he's a little bit
He's getting roles on taller blokes. Yeah, more experienced players
every week. It looks exhausted.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Yeah, but that's part of the whole learning process and
the curve and that, and at least these compared to
previous years where there's been a massive amount of inside
fifties and you just get inundated, it's a little bit
different this year, which is good. I mean, it probably
gives it back a bit more of a reprieve, but
it's still hard work.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yeah, they haven't got GUV helping out and.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Haven't and haven't got probably one of the best defenders
in the game, if not in West Coast, he stay
playing back there helping you out. So yeah, tough gig
for him, but he's actually I feel like you're standing
up and doing what he needs to do. And I
actually think that that's also a silver lining in the
sense that he's able to get a lot more experience
(14:16):
by himself and try and find his own way as
quick as possible.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Injuries a larger who it looked like he injured his
foot at one stage.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It connected with someone's hand.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I mean it was hands over hands and he was
off for a bit, but he managed He managed to
come back on and finish the game.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
So is he okay.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
He ran it out, so I'd assume he's okay.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Off off.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
I saw him in the football club yesterday. It seemed
all right. So yeah, I'm hopeful that. Yeah, I'm hopeful
that it won't be too much of an issue. Probably
just one of those nice little bruce foot and where
you go.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Not much chance for RB, Yeah, not much chance for
Rubbo willing to make a difference in those few minutes
right at the very end. Yeah, it's tough, as I
guess he was running laps or running up and down
the over afterwards too.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Yeah oh yeah, and as a sub to you'd be
you'd be itching again. Yeah, but yeah, I think Minnie
said as well, he could have handled that one a
bit better. But yeah, look, to be honest, I think
Bowie's going to be a good player for us. So yeah,
as much as we can get some minutes into him,
or the more minutes we can get to him, the better.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
At that level, and Mini Andrew bick Weilder the coach,
he would have been thinking, we're real shoeing here, not shoeing,
but a real chance to win this quarter of time,
I think.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
So to quarter And I'm only speaking from my perspective
and my point of view, but he probably would have
just been so focused on structure, game plan everything rather
than you know, the sub and what the sub could
do tactically and all that out of handle I think,
so yeah, and he probably looked at the clock and went,
oh god, let's get him out on the type of things.
So yeah, yeah, but again I'm only speaking from my perspective.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I could be completely wrong from your land room perspective.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Yeah the arm chair all right, Well, at.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Least the team gets to stay in town this week
ended up to stadium your face, Carlton, the Old Navy
Blues on Sunday bounce down. Is it's a late one
four to ten time on a Sunday.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's a bit different, interesting.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
And time to clean the ground after the Dockers North game.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
And yeah, double double header. The Blues are currently sitting
eleventh on the ladder. They did have an eight.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Point win over Essendon on the weekend, so they're feeling
pretty good.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Yeah. Look, they're a good team, but they're just struggling
to find the four quarters.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Same like us, same so even match.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
So yeah, I mean, yeah, it's a winnable game, but
every game is winnable, and if we're going into it
thinking that that it wasn't, then what's the point of
rocking up exactly? So yeah, it's certainly going to be
an interesting, interesting game. I feel like we can take
the points, so I'm excited to see what we can do.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I'll be making any unsolicited assumptions though during the game
this time.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
And let's let's kick some girls.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Yeah, traveling, it's your load. What are you up to?
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Good? Yeah, starting to progress now, which is which is
a good sign. So hopefully you can get more load
in the legs and just continue to build up in
the next couple of weeks and then tick a few
more boxes and then hopefully put my hands up, you know,
for the last sort of month or so and go
from there get fit.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Another note, how's fatherhood going, Elliott?
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
It's hard work.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Yeah, it's the hardest job you'll evidence.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
No, No, it's literally trial and error with everything, but
it is also the best and most rewarding job in
the world. Like, yeah, no, matter how much you know,
you could have eighty five percent of hard work. And
just like that. She's a bit crooked at the moment
with a bit of the fluid. We all are, and
(17:44):
probably caught it off your last week. But yeah, yeah,
and as much as you know, the late nights and
the sickness and all that stuff, like the tiny little
hand shoul give you the nicest little cuddle or anything
like that, and it just makes she dies so much better.
So coming home to her after a hard day. It's
(18:04):
just it's the best.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
No, you can tell it like you're wearing it on
your face. So it's like a different Elliott this year,
Daddy Elliott.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I love it. Yeah, I've always wanted to be a dad.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, and yeah, it's just it's the.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Best job in wor Yeah, it's words kind of you.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Put him in the back of the car, dripping and
go everything.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
I enjoy it until she's like fifteen, sixteen, and she's
having a crack of me. She's having a crack at
me because she wants to stay at a boyfriend's house.
And I'm saying, no, that's not happening.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yeah, that's not happening. At fourteen, I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
All right.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Well, in the meantime, Carlton at Optus this Sunday bounced
down the particularly late four ten but nonetheless good luck.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Eagles, cheers, good to see your pa. And then there
were none.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
He's on as His Majesty's Theater until June to any
nine tickets are available through and then there were none.
Dot com dot au the Star of and then there
were none. As with us this morning, Nicholas Hammond, good morning.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Good morning, is there good morning, Good.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well, Agatha Christie didn't do a bad play boy.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
She's something to a bad story.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
She knows her craft, that woman, and walking out on
that stage every night and saying her words, you think, gosh,
she knew how to put a story together and all
the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle and make it all work.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
She really was.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Well, she invented the genre, I mean, the whole genre
of the murder mystery. Yes, everyone else who's done one
since basically has just followed her format absolutely.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Why wouldn't you don't mess with us?
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Not, you know, changing a bit, but not too much.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
And you know, and a group of ten strangers on
an island and then something happens to them one by one.
I mean that's following today with white Lotus and shows.
You know, they're still they're still using Agatha's basic formula
for a play.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, as you say, why mess with it?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
It's like a secret recipe.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Well, as you say, it is about ten strangers invited
to a remote island where their accused of murder and
systematically killed off one by one.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
What is interesting to me is.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Your career really took off when you were cast in
Lord of the flies in nineteen sixty three, another situation
of chaos on a remote island. It's come full circle.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's really interesting that you would say that it actually
is true. I mean hadn't occurred to me, but it
actually has thirty boys on an island and one by
one they start picking each other off. Yeah, you know,
and I guess that's what both William Golding and Agatha
Christie probably thought. Human beings when there is no responsibility.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
And there are no ripper cushions.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
You know, they can turn into pretty feral animals.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, which is sounding too much like cruise ships at times. Well,
that's right, greatly.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
This is about the you know, the fragility of human morality.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
That's right. I think that right.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
And that's what this play essentially is about, is how
people can avoid taking responsibility for their own behavior. Yeah,
and then when it's they're forced to confront it. You
know what a devastating thing that can be.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Exactly right.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
I mean we're all.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Backstage following the mushroom murder trial, that's right, you know,
And is she isn't she?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Is?
Speaker 5 (21:23):
She isn't she?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And who's to say? But it's again, it's that fascinating dynamic.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Especially with so much widespread coverage of that story nineteen
sixty three. When you think about that really early days,
that's the height of the Beatles success and all that. Yeah,
I believe it's that long ago.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
I know, it's amazing to me.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well, in fact, and then when we did Sound of
Music in late sixty three, early sixty four, as you say,
I mean all the girls who played my sisters in
the film were just obsessed with the Beatles.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
In fact, I.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Think we all learned all the Beatles songs by osmosis
because riding to location every day in our little mini van,
that's what was sung in the minivan every single day.
And I think the songs from the movie No, no, no, no,
it was more.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
It was more love.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Lovely, and I must have done something good.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Yeah, you said the Sound of Music.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Let's let's get to that.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
You were Friedrich von Trapped in my favorite movie full time,
The Sound of Music.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I will never hear a bad word about it. And
it turns sixty. I can't believe it.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
And I'm going to Salzburg for the sixtieth anniversary in October.
October twenty third is the actual day that it first
appeared in cinemas around the world. And so on October
twenty third, there's a big gala at Salzburg. I'm the
guest of honor, and then there is the next night,
the Captain's Ball. Yes really, and so I'm practicing my
(22:49):
waltzing backstage every night.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
And yeah, I think it's going to be great.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And you know, it's interestingly so you say it's your
favorite film and you won't hear a word against it.
Speaker 7 (22:59):
The other person who world is Hugh Grant. Oh, and
you can see.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
There's a few YouTube clips of him getting very stoppy
with journalists because.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
You know, sometimes people like to sort of have a
laugh about it.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And he absolutely, you know, he says it's a perfect film.
There's not one frame in that movie that's wrong. It's
not He will defend it to the dam.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
It's very particular, it's very it's very close to my heart, Nicholas,
because my grandmother suffered terribly with agrophobia, didn't like to
leave the house, but she went to see the Sound
of Music. I think it was seven or eight times.
She asked theater because it used to be a theater,
(23:43):
a picture theater, and as as us kids sort of
grew up. She would every time it came back on
at the cinema, because it would sort of come, you know,
and go away and come back on. She would take
whoever was, you know, sort of like the age to
go and see it at that time. And so it's
but I mean, I would have loved it anyway, but
it has a very special Yes.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, you know, I've heard stories like that all my
life which make it so gratifying to me, and I
feel so privileged to have been in something that did
have such a significance for so many people. I had
a lady come up to me in Chicago once and
said her husband was a soldier in Vietnam and when
(24:22):
he came back he suffered terrible PTSD and was having
very severe suicidal thoughts. And she sat him down and
played the sound of music for him every day for
three months and that got him out of it.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Music therapy.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, well seriously, And you know, so everybody's got that story.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Not to mention.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
All my friends when they have toddlers, they say it
is the best babysitter.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
In the world.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
You put a three year old in front of that
DVD and there's twice three hours.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Well, I'm glad that sixty years down the track you
still like to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
It's not like, oh, the son of music question, not
at all.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I'm so proud of having been a part of it,
even just a small part of something that made.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Such a difference to so many lives and.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Still does to special event. I'm asking on the behalf of.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I'm sure we could do something, my Milt.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
I know people who know people. If you come, we
can make it happen.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Spider Man, another great film that you've made evolved.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
In I did.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I created the character of Peter Parker. He'd never been
done before. Is a live you know, as a human being.
There had been there had been animated vert of course,
so we were just flying blind.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
We didn't know what we were doing.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
And I did say to them, you know, when they
said will you do it?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
And I said, are you sure I'm the one you want?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Because I assume they wanted kind of an Arnold Schwarzenegger,
a sort of person. I didn't really know much about superheroes,
and they said.
Speaker 7 (25:55):
No, no, no, we want a real guy.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
We want someone where the audience forgets he's these superpowers
and You're just get engrossed in Peter's story of his
own story, his own life, and you know, a girl
is interested in him, but he can't get too close
to her because he's not allowed to let her know
the secret.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
And you know, and and how that would be.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
And I thought, well, that's interesting that I think I
can do.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Absolutely So we did it, and and it went well,
and it was the highest rated show in American television.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
And of course now now.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
It's a multi billion so big.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I mean, I've told Lista this story, which is a
bit on a honeymoon. We've ended up in New York
and the only show I've ever seen on Broadway was
the Spider Man Musical spider Man. But the influence just
keeps running. What do you think of Tom Holland's days.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Very I think, frankly, I think all three of them.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I think Toby did a great I think Andrew did,
but I really think Tom Holland.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Well, I've had other people come up to.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Me and say, he's the closest to the one I
did you know, he's the closest to just a guy. Yeah,
you know, And I think it's a great performance. You know,
I've and all three of them. You know, you sort
of feel like you're all part of the you know,
I'm in the Sound of Music family, but I'm also
in the Spider Man family.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
And so there's a that's not a bad couple of family.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
And the and the Brady Bunch family.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
You know, of course, having having broken Marsha's nose the football.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
The one that broke he knows well, dump Dumpter had.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
The broken well.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And now in the Agatha Christie family.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
So and now in the Agatha Christian family, which is
a great family to be in, it sure is. And
we have the most wonderful company of actors. I I
sit backstage every night just feeling grateful to be with
these people there. So we've got a few w a
people in the in the show and the whole show.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I got some great talented.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Oh boy do you live?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Oh, I know that I got a.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Very good school.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
I gave it. I gave a talk when I was
out here.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Plus I was out here doing a movie for Bruce
Beresford last September.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
We shot here in wa and in fact, we shot
it at.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
His Majesty's and I went and I spoke at Woppa.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yeah, boy, it is a marvelous school.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
It sure is.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well, it's the only school in the country that really
has a serious music.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Component to it.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
You know, there are other good drama schools, but if
you're interested in musical theater or just in music in singing, yes,
I think why would you not go to Woppa if
you were lucky enough to get in? Absolutely and you
know some of the I mean, you know, Hugh Jackman,
for instance, is a good example. Back in those days,
kind of everyone thought, oh, if they're good, they come
(28:42):
out of neither, they come out of they.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Come out of Nier and then they go to Woppa.
That's right, they come out great.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
That is exactly well.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Hugh in many ways he kind of he kind of
changed that thinking because I remember seeing him in Beauty
and the Beast when no.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
One knew who it was and everybody went.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Who is that?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You know, and that kind of for the first time
he really put the school on the map nationally and internationally.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Because I think he got plucked out just before graduating too.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
For mind you, just one quick shout out for Nida
Sarah Snook just one mat Yeah, just was.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
She not playing all those roles?
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Well?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I know, but she was up against very very stiff
competition and very experienced Broadway stars and a.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Great result of succession success, wasn't she great? Brilliant?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Well? And then there were none.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
He's on at His Majesty's Theater from now until June
twenty nine, and as I said, tickets are available through
and then there were none.
Speaker 2 (29:43):

Speaker 7 (29:49):
I hope you both come.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, terrific. I will and let me know when you're there.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
And we could possibly have a small glass of something
festive afterwards, as my mother.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Refers to it, something festive.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
My mother says, shall we have a glass of something festive?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I'm always up for a glass of something festive.

Pub Crawl guests this morning are from the Motors, John
Webster and Dave Cook. Good morning, coming in the Motors
and Formula one car fans.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Body on what's going on there? How did the names
come about?
Speaker 8 (33:47):
I have no idea.
Speaker 9 (33:49):
It's probably our agency that put that together, which Brian
Davidson at Focus had had the idea to put together
a yeah, Dave, yeah, man, he's a good fella. Yeah.
So there's just a name. It's marketing, little strategy sposed
motors Motors.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Absolutely, it seemed to work. Yeah, yeah, mate. I can't
believe this, John, it's we're taking your back. But by
playing that song you just walked in and where we
haven't heard this for a while. What year did that
one come out? And what is there a story behind
that song? In the winner.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
Yeah, that would have been about eighty two. I think
we had that sort of recorded. It was written by
the guy that produced our album, a guy by named
Gary Keady. He's a music producer, film producer.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
Yeah, yeah, one of his little little catalog songs that
he had.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
You recorded an album at Planet Studios, didn't you. It's yeah,
we did, yeah, nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 9 (34:47):
At eighty two. Yeah, it was at the original location
of Planet, which was in Perth because after they moved to.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Yeah, but you guys were playing four nights a week.
We were a really solidly performing on that circle back
in those days.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
How exhausting was it?
Speaker 8 (35:09):
It was a full time job. We were we were
working four nights a week, and we were rehearsing two
days a week on the days off, and we had
one day left where we learnt new material and wrote
new material. So it was pretty much seven days.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Yeah, you've got to be obsessed, don't you, especially when
you're young and hungry.
Speaker 8 (35:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
They've got about influencers. Who were you guys influenced by?
Speaker 9 (35:35):
Well, pretty broad I suppose, because the band was basically
a cover band, so we just we followed the charts. Yeah,
like a lot of stuff coming out of the UK
was good, which is was is exciting and suited our playing.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
I think what we were playing didn't necessarily reflect our
own personal choices, but that was that was what we
were doing.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
But you were you guys were big on right and
performing your own stuff as well, weren't you, And you
must have I feel like at that time you might
have had to push back a bit to be able
to do that because Perth loved to come about in
the eighties. We really did so, but only because we
you know, we didn't have You probably thought, well, you know,
we can give them both and they will come round
(36:18):
to it.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Did you have to push back a bit?
Speaker 9 (36:21):
Yes, certainly that there was always a crowd killer when
you're playing a live gig, just to bring out one
of your own. Yeah, yeah, I guess we had the
concept to just persist with that so that people would
gradually grow to it and learn it. But yeah, it
was always a battle.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I would have thought with the
the you know, the places that you were playing at
as well, the owners of them, they probably wanted you
to you know, play all the covers as well.
Speaker 9 (36:49):
Absolutely for sure, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Yeah, John, Can you tell us of Singapore connection with
the band and what went down there.
Speaker 8 (36:56):
My our manager was Jimmy Lee and he was from
Singapore and he had a good mate who owned the
WA Records in Thailand.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
The label in your mind, So he did a deal
with them to record the album and then we were
going to release it in Asia through WA Records, and
we were then going to do a tour all through
Asia right up to Japan as support for the release
(37:33):
of the album.
Speaker 8 (37:35):
And then WA Records in Sydney found out that an
Australian band had signed with w A in Thailand and
claimed the rights because some sort of corporate rule they had,
and then they seized the tapes for our recording and
(37:57):
locked them in a bank vault in Melbourne. We lost
access to our own album.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Bloody frustrating, exactly.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
They must have been terribly frustrating to sort of be
the victim in the middle of this, you know, sort
of suit fight going on as a bit of a
you know what, swinging competition between these two sides.
Speaker 9 (38:17):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 8 (38:18):
And at the same time we were going through that
transition that you were just referring to, where we were
trying to play more of our own material, yeah, to
actually support that album that we were bringing out. So
and we'd also been forced right in the middle of
that to change our name to Formula one because it was.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
A band in very frustrated in the.
Speaker 8 (38:40):
UK called themselves the Motors. So it all started to
slow down very quickly at that point.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yeah, but frustrating for you guys being you know, creative
types and getting caught up in the business, politics and
the rest of its exactly frustrating. And then getting an
album warehouse.
Speaker 8 (38:56):
Like yeah, yeah, It's funny how musos into their music
that they tend to not be totally aware of what
their management is up to.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (39:07):
Yeah, we were still consumed by our own passions and
it was all just sort of falling exactly area.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
Of yeah, yeah and expertise.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
So we had some great venues in the in the
early eighties that all the bands were playing at seven
nights a week.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
You could go and see a band. Where were some
of your favorites to play?
Speaker 9 (39:28):
Oh well, we played played like a range of plays
that the overflow was on a Thursday night was a ye,
it was a bust. It was pretty huge at the
Marley Park. So back before it become the generator.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
Was just yeah.
Speaker 9 (39:40):
Pub Charles was alther Raffles.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
They still haven't cleaned the carpet at the Charles stick
to it exactly. Yeah, it was good all those places.
Speaker 9 (39:54):
Yeah. Plus every Wednesday we'd often do like a runout
like at the Kelgooley or Albany.

gigs in front of a thousand people every time. So
by the time we eventually got around to coming back
(42:38):
to birth and doing one of our own gigs, they
booked us into the Carron Up Tavern and I remember
we drove it. It was just starting to rain a
little bit when we got there, and there was this
queue coming out of the tavern across the car park
and then round the corner and down the store. And
that was to our first gig after those, so that's
(43:01):
pretty good, and then we knew every thing, so it
was amazing. We came back to town and we were
just sort of like a big band.
