Speaker 1 (02:09):
Well, let's played in front of this big class. Shall
we here's how this goes.
Speaker 7 (02:13):
Hi there, my name is Brendan Jones. I'd just like
to say thanks for lending me your ease this evening.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I
used to be a DJ with a mobile company and
I ended up going towards the Snowy area working down
there in a hotel. I'm now hoping to become a
radio dis job here because that is what I really
(02:35):
want to aim for in life.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, you'll get there one day, mate.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Wow, it's like listening to someone who's just learning to
read what it's hard.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
You try it.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
I did.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I had to do as well. I had to go
through similar things.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
That's terrible. That is terrible. It just takes me back.
It takes me straight back.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And Max had some good criticism for you.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
If you don't do the rehearsal, there's going to be
no improvement. That's the same truth about the whole manner.
You've got to read it much more than that. Take
it to the toilet with you if you haven't got
to the other time, put it on your walkman, so
you understand what you're reading. Because a lot of the
time though you didn't understand what you're reading. You had
trouble with your reading last week, reading out loud right,
and you said even and tonight. I didn't realize how
hard it was to read out loud. If you don't preread,
(03:16):
it's impossible to read out loud. Remember, this is only
a certain correct school. So I'm really hat a loss
to improve you if you won't do your homework.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Do your homework.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So let's have a snippet.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Then.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So you go through the Max Rolly Academy and here
you are doing your best work on community radio.
Speaker 8 (03:37):
Ad everybody a bit of reggae mon the late Bob
Marley and the Whalers with one Love. He died a
few years back, actually with lung cancer from smaking excessive
amounts of dape.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
What a way to gabel.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh, my sphincter is so time. I could sharpen a
pencil right now.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Keep your sphincter aout it. But I will say this
about Max though, I went to that radio school and
got because it's hard to get into this job. Everyone
wants to do this job. And for me, when I
was twelve years of age, I wanted to do this.
I always wanted to do it, and Max I'd given up.
And I was working on a building site in the
city here, just on George Street, and I was making
(04:19):
good money. I was making a thousand bucks a week
as a com wow, which is a lot. This is
nineteen eighty eight or whatever. And then one day I'm
just walking back to the Kent Street car park to
my motorbike and I hear this, Well, there's Brendan Jones
and it's Max.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
He'd already done the course.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I've done the course. I'd given up.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I'd pretty much given up on the whole radio thing.
And he said, he said, how are you going, mate,
how are you going with your dream? And I said, oh,
you know, Max, like I just don't think it's going
to happen. I sent my tapes out. I've got no bytes.
No one's interested. I think that's it. You're selling yourself
a bit short. I think, come back to the academy,
redo your tape.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
We'll have another crack. A month later, I got a
job at six Ka Krath Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
If Max hadn't seen doors and the thing about this
is what I always say, Max, sort me out in
the car park. It wasn't the other way around he
saw he could have just got on there. That guy
I used to teach at the Radio Academy.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
What a loser. But no, he sought me out and
got me remotivated. So for that I owe him a
great deal.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh absolutely, we all do.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
We all do.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
