Speaker 1 (00:00):
Russell created a little bit of his speech at John
Law's the great radio broadcasters State funeral, so.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
He was eulogy number two. You haven't listened to his speak.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
A long long time ago, John asked me if I
would speak at his funeral. I said yes, and then
he just kept on living year after year after year.
I mean, he lived so long that I thought at
one point I might have lost the gig. However, here

(00:34):
we are now. Obviously I planned all these remarks. The idea, though,
is that I give you the impression. I'm just telling
the stories off the top of my head. It'll take
a bit of acting. Let's see how I go. It's
kind of like cash for comments, but less obvious. The

(00:58):
very first time that I met John, he gave me
the impression that he believed in me. That is an
undervalued gift to instill confidence in others. My last conversation
with John, in fact, my last couple of conversations, were

(01:18):
about a project of mine that he showed great interest
in Nuremberg in theaters December fourth. I'm sure you can
see what I did there. I can probably quite confidently
say that we hardly ever agreed on anything. From bike

(01:40):
lanes to politics. We were quite often on opposite sides
of any issue. However, we did agree that we liked
each other's company, and our different perspectives never stopped us
from making each other laugh.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
He's making me laugh, big, big push for his new movie,
which I think he'll win an Academy Award for. And
I'm going to ge and see that man, because that's
a great plug.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Exactly. So here it is.

Speaker 4 (02:06):

mate lower neighbors. He's asked him to speak at the
funeral and he plugs. He's a project.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
I was actually at my nephew's wedding and there were
speeches being made normal and my sister decided she'd get
up and make a speech of her own.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Right, So that's your nephew's mother, is it.

Speaker 5 (02:42):

was saying. And then right at the very end to
shock everybody, even my nephew, and she said, after the wedding,
