Well, we've all probably started back in the nineties. And
by the way, I still have all those items that
you just said before, the gun boots, the speedos, teenage
way back in the nineties. Really, I used to go
to the cricket, the Test match in the cricket and
(02:05):
my mum was watching it and Richie Bo meant, you know,
there's local celebrity Johnny Hayesman walking around. So yeah, mums
she was. She had goose bumps.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I think because Johnny he's the do of commentary.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
That's right. Yeah, But everyone wanted to know who I was,
and people started, you know, contacting me, asking me to
do all sorts of things. You know, so adverts and
you know, Toyota commercials and things like that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I love it, Johnny.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
His own really, so what.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
What we love about you? What I love about you
is that you don't seem to care what anyone thinks.
You just get out there, you dance, you do your thing,
which is so inspiring. Was there ever a point where
you're like, oh, maybe I should just I don't know,
back off a bit, cover up or whatever, like or
did you you just don't care?

a lot. So and like like you said, you know,
I used to sit in the moll and watch the
Spooker and the just people walking past or and I
love you just used to have that vibe, which it
always has and it still has today. And although Adelaide's
(03:29):
Jenny a lot bigger, I mean they did a lot
of building during COVID. I was in the city and stuff,
staying at five star hotels and are like fourten dolls
a night. Yeah, they did a lot of building. I
mean I think, yeah, at the skyline of Adelaide. It's
not it's not like a baby city anymore. It's no, No, we're.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
A proper city. But we still got We've still got
people like you hanging on that and keeping us grounded.

had on people, and we have had so many people
call in go Johnny. Johnny's the first person to think
of when I think of superstars. What are those What
have those interactions been like for you over the years
with people coming out.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's just meeting of the people. You go in the
city and you do a few laps of the mole
and you just you meet hundreds of people. And I

stand out always. I mean, Adelaide's got a bit of
a golf, you know, punk type of the churchy type
(04:35):

around and I really tried to out to a lot
of them.

got all the things like the gum boots and the
backpack and things like that. How much would I have
to pay you to have those gun boots because I
