Remember When - Philip Brady and Andrew McLaren ep 1026 - Sun 24 Nov, 2024

Remember the night. The night you said, I love you. Remember.

Remember, bow, by all the stars above you. Remember, remember we found a lonely spot.

And after I learned to care a lot You promise that you forget in all

But you forgot to remember. Oh, thank you, Al Powell, Al Johnson. In fact, well, the bad news is that Simon is indisposed

as you'd be aware of from listening over the weekend. A very bad dose of the flu. We're so sorry for your Simon. You don't deserve that. Normally you're so healthy and we wish you a speedy recovery. Maybe we'd luck back with Denden tomorrow night around 10.30. But in the meantime, a lucky break for us is

Andy, Andy McLaren. It's been so long. It's good I've sat in your memory so strongly. Hello, Phil. How are you? How are you, your first night? It's really good to start to catch up with you again. Thanks for the generously filling in for Simon.

No, it's a pleasure. Ditto, Simon, regards Phil's comments. I hope you get better soon. He's out of this crook as a chalk. Oh, yes, he's much. We've got Ben producing this show for us tonight. In a moment, our living legend, you went to see Wicked. Yes, I did. And welcome, Andy, for a

Getting off the subbench and coming on into the studio on a Sunday night. It was my pleasure. Good to see you Ben and get well Simon of course Yeah, I went and saw Wicked the part one of the part two movie based on the musical on Thursday night and It's very very good. Okay. It's very very as good as a stage show or better

Well, I have a confession to make. I've never seen the stage show. OK. So I'm not entirely sure what to expect in the second part. But the first part is excellent, and it leads up to one of the big showstoppers of that musical, Defying Gravity, and the performances are excellent. So if you're a big fan of the musical or the Wizard of Oz, very much go and see it. It's excellent. And it would appeal to the children as well.

Oh, yeah, it's a very family friendly. OK, well, that's a very good wrap. I haven't seen a movie in ages. I have not been doing it. Yes, again, with me, too. Only on TV. I don't go to the cinema much. I tell you what, Joanne and I haven't. It's COVID.

Well, everybody's habits were shattered because of COVID. I used to go up to the ball in the palace ball, but I haven't been there for a year or more, you know? No, well, it was four years since we've been all moving. Yeah, I think a lot of people are in the same boat. Folks, our living legend tonight is somebody we know and admire and

a very fond of here at 3AW. But we want to know more about him. We want to know what makes him tick. His name is Tony McManus. He is Mr. Midnight's. He's leaving, leaving. Oh, my big life train, Georgia. Yeah. Said he's going back. To a simple place of time.

OK, folks, let's jump on that midnight train and walk in Tony McMahon. It's all right, Tony, how are you? I feel like you can hear me OK, and Andrew McLaren, what a thrill, what a delight and what a pleasant surprise, I might say, Andrew? Well, yes, for me too, it's good to sort of drill down with you if I may use the expression without offending.

You were spotted in the grill. You were spotted in barrack today. What's the story? Well, I'm glad you asked. So not far from the shared house. What I call affectionately, the shared house is some beautiful elm trees and those elm trees over 120 years old.

and there is just the whole row of these beautiful trees and so inside the trees they had a marvellous community event so people from all around right from about 10.30 where it was drizzling so we were a bit sort of disjointed about the fact that I really have all the beautiful days we've had and

And it cleared pretty quickly this morning. And so it turned out, we had, I don't know, probably 700 or 800 people come through and displays and presentation and singing and historians talking about the history of the Elms, just off Clyde Road. Sounds wonderful. May we start with where the Tony McManus story began? Where was it, Tony?

In terms of growing up, do you mean Andrew? I do indeed. Now I'm talking from being a kid.

Yeah, so look, I was thinking about this because I put you my dad on the track end. So, Addison Vincent's hospital, how I got into St Vincent's hospital. And then in those days, mum and dad were in South Yarra, so taken back to South Yarra. Earlier's memory is then we moved and we lived in a very smart home in Glen Waverly.

Glen Waverly in those days was just a lot of open land is my memory of that. Yes, was it? Was it blonde brick and did it have burgundy carpet? Look, I think it was I think it was not even brick. I suspect it was a timber. Oh, okay, and so it was just really quite but a lot of farmland around a lot of land around it and

Even the cousins, they lived next door and it was a three or four minute walk across our backyard, if you like, to get into their property as well. So that was the earliest memory I had, maybe as a three or four year old. And then not long after that,

uh, which I've spoken about very, very fondly. Your mum and dad bought a small business in a place called Noble Park. Yes. Yes. What was it? Was it a delicatessum or was it? It was, it was a milk bar. Filling milk bar. Okay. And...

And so it was just this busy little hive. I think on Lightwood Road. And then, and in those days Phil, you remember sitting on top of the letterbox outside. Remember those big red letterboxes we had everywhere, everywhere.

And so sitting on top of that and across the road, the brand new yet to be opened, sand down race course. Wow. That was developing. That's going to be 1960. I would have found it. As a kid, just seeing all that activity over there.

The milk bar still be there. Do you think it's still there? The milk bar? I've driven past the precinct is there, but the shops are no longer quite there. In fact, some of the most sadly, I've got dilapidated. But you live the dream, McManus. You were the child of a milk bar owner. Yeah. I can't believe this. I just can't believe it.

I mean, you had total access to red skin on, we don't say that anymore, to lollies throughout your childhood. A lot of lollies, a month old years later, the cabaret man would come, it was the best like cabaret's back in those days, cabaret I think, in the Caramelo beers, and then as a kid, as a four-year-old, down the back of the shed, where a lot of that stock was stored.

I went down and opened and bit all the heads off the camera. Oh, how cruel! Oh! And wrap them up and put them back in the box. Oh, that's a... You know, a lot of people, Tony, are under the impression that you come from Perth. So just put us right about how WA came into your life.

Well, after many years of broadcasting, including, as you might just remember, Phil, obviously you're working at 3AW in the early about 93, 92, 93, 94, filling for Alan Pearson and filling in for Keith from time to time on the weekend overnight program. And Shane Healy, you remember the great Shane Healy who was doing fantastic things. Shane very kindly had just moved to Perth to manage 6PR in Perth.

We sold a property in Ballarat, sold a motel business, and everything had been completed there. And Shane said, would you like to come across and look after the weekend breakfast program, which in those days included by swap and sell? Oh, yes, the ubiquitous by top and sell, of course. It was a huge phenomenon, wasn't it? And so you settled in Perth, well, a fair amount of time, didn't you, Tony?

So that was 99. So coming into the change, moving into 2000. So that was in 1999. And it was a joyous move, really. The children, the girls, the two girls were really little at that stage. And so that was all very exciting. We had to find somewhere to live pretty quickly, as you do, and meet a whole lot of new people that had never been to Perth.

in the past, so it was all very new. Shane Healy was most gracious and managed that and had a fantastic time. For the time that Shane Healy was actually managing the Great Radio Station 6BR Infinite. Yeah, he's a terrific motivator. Shane has a fine football commentator as well. He did a lot of that and he would motivate staff and motivate team members and sales team members. He was sensational at all of that.

I'm sorry, I thought we were both being polite to each other if Tony and Phil and I were, you take the next question. Now, I've got to ask a couple of things. Tony, highlight of your broadcasting career. Someone you interviewed, some particularly magical moment on radio for you.

Look, I think Serene's probably going to be up there. Oh, Mr. Both of them. No. Ian McClellan, the wonderful actor. Stage. Oh, jumping to the wrong conclusion, wasn't it? What was he doing in Australia at the time?

I think he was doing that two-person show, Phil, the name of which just escapes. Many of the listeners will remember it. He'll come back to me in just a tick. But he was doing that show and he was the most gracious in those days because of timing.

We had to do a pre-recorded to play the breakfast show the next morning. It was very cool. So he's media people or the promoters, if you like, would bring them through. He'd sit down, do the interview, and then go. But he was such a joy.

And he kept asking us a question, one to find about more about Western Australia, more about Perth, what we were doing and how we were doing it, why we were doing it. And he wouldn't leave the studio. And so the media people were pacing up and down for about an hour, waiting to get Surinne back into the car to go to the next deployment. You had a great time. We opened a couple of beverages at the community in the morning. It was really good fun.

That's rather flattering for you, isn't it? Because he would have done a thousand interviews in his career.

Yes. I think he took a shine to you, Tony, by the sound of it. You know, during the 1960s, you'd be too young to remember boys, but we had a lot of Perth imports come to Melbourne to work for us at Channel 9, including Bob Mormel, Bob Maguire, Gary Meadows. They all originated in WA, as you'd know. And what about Lionel New York? Could you add that? Oh, I'll add that. Well, then later, Rove McManus.

Was it because you're a Perth boy? Yeah, I believe so. How about we might throw in Johnny Young too, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of talent in the West there. And I remember you fondly filling in for Alan and Keith McGowan all those years ago. That's when we got to know each other, Tony.

Yes it was, Phil did you talk about some of those great names like Bobby Moore Mill who is still with us and not enjoying 100%. I talked to Bobby on a regular basis. One of my dream is to perhaps get him onto the overnight programme in the not too distant perhaps early next year with any luck at all to have him come on. He is a great mentor and motivator in the consummate.

broadcaster and the way he could cajole the audience to have fun with the audience. I agree. It was the same time talking about some of the great issues. And you talk about Yorkie. I mean, Yorkie, in his latter years, became his since retired from it, became a wedding near celebrants. And he looked after daughter number one's wedding. It was just fantastic. I hope he gave you a good time with Yorkie.

I hope he gave you a good price. I hope you got mates' rates, Tony. It was discount rates for bigger mates. We're talking to Tony McManus. We'll take a break and come back and find out more about you after this. Our living legend is our own Tony McManus. Tony, I'm aware you have a big heart. Tell us about some of the charities you've been involved with over the years.

Well Phil, it's nice to talk to you both too by the way on this great program that is Remember When. One of the great things that I learned at a pretty early age in broadcasting, particularly when you move into the country stations, Andrew, as you may or may not remember back in the day, it was a very important thing to move into the community. And a lot longer after going into Mad Gambia, I was invited to join the Mad Gambia Apex Club.

And that was just a fantastic experience to work with people, work with different people that you wouldn't have met otherwise necessarily to get involved in that and then sometime later move into rotary as well. And that was fantastic.

to do all those sorts of jobs. Whether you're painting somebody's fence at one o'clock in the morning, as we did back in those days, or projects like cash you can, very early recycling programs of beer cans and drink cans.

Those sorts of projects on a Saturday morning with a whole bunch of blokes and people and families, kids would all be there all playing together while you were serving the community to raise money through the selling of those cans to do amazing projects going forward. So that was very important. And then we're possible to support and host a lot of projects over the years in each of those communities.

Certainly, I still love to do that. Did that, in fact, today was part of my MC duties, just to support this particular event here in Cranburn, North? Tony, I don't, but you may, and if not, please don't apologise, but do you happen to remember the first record you spun as a disc jockey on radio? Yeah, I do. It was, uh, it was Malefk entire. Oh, well, it was a big song to start off with.

Yeah, other because it was Mum's first and the early days there at 3HA in Hamilton, Western Victoria, which wasn't a particularly joyous time when I think back about it. It was okay, but they used this thing. It was an automated system called Q-RAC. I don't know whether you remember a Q-RAC. I think I've heard of it, but how did it work?

Well, it was this whole rack of, I don't know, maybe 30, 30. It might have been 10 rows of 30 carts and the machine would literally pick out a cart, put it into the cart machine and play it. Everything was recorded, even the intro to each sock was there. Good, ever said. And so I know. Oh, really build a personality that way, wouldn't you?

It was dreadful. It was dreadful. But every time the one record was played, it might have been two out of three, ain't bad. It was the same intro. Oh, that's funny. 24 hours a day. It was dreadful.

So they went the machine broke down. Once I said, okay, this is a really good opportunity. So I got up and I didn't fix the machine and put myself live to wear ring mum and dad got up and Bella Vista Road and good. I was put up a big aerial so we could hear and play the mallet guitar. All right. I don't think you've Andrew's age away, but his very first recording on here was green sleeves within the range and arrangement by Henry the eight

That was not... That was my first imagine what Phil told me to be, you know, a medieval madrigal that Phil would have played first. Probably Edison, some of them. Now, listen, I have to ask you, spending all that time in WA as you did, Tony McManus, were you ever involved with the Perth telephone over there?

Yes, very much so in those days and it still remains such an important project.

or certainly a great heritage event in Western Australia. I mean they raise millions and millions of dollars every year. It's so good and it's a very clever business model. It is a seven branded event in WA and they do extraordinary work for children supporting children.

And as a result of that, I was very privileged of working with Toyota. Toyota WA privately owned division of Toyota. The last remaining handshake business deal between Japan and Toyota dealerships and distributors is the one in Perth with a great family that runs Toyota WA anyway. I digress and we would travel all over the state.

er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er er

Oh, look, I was Andrew. I remain a great fan of the BG's. Ah, yes. And that varies the other remaining. So, Morris and Robin sadly passed away. Yes, far too young. The twins. But to see that very early concert, and it must have been 72, I think your festival all in Melbourne, it was just one of the highlights of life as a youngster to see the BG's. I've loved them ever since, as many have.

And they had that amazing history in that through the 70s when they became bigger than anybody could ever have imagined. Yes, we certainly not fever. Just remarkable, a remarkable outfit and the songs that they did and the music that Barry Robin

and Morris wrote for other great artists. Do you worry about the start? Yeah, you forget that, don't we? Yes. And very sad and very timely that this past week we lost Colin Peterson, original drummer for the BGs. Yeah.

And that film that he did, I think I read it. Smiley. Smiley. Smiley. He was one of several and 500 people in addition to that role. I read that in the last few days. It was an incredible thing. How good is your memory, boys? The sequel to Smiley was called. The second movie. Smiley has a breakdown. Close. Tony, you will have a crack.

Grumpy, grumpy, I think it was. Smiley goes feral. No, the sickle was, smiley gets a gun. There you are. Tony, thanks for sharing your time with us. And particularly, congratulations on your ratings, which you've gone through the stratosphere. We're not surprised. And we'll look forward to seeing you in here a couple of hours from now.

Good on your cover. I look forward to being in there with you. Surely. I just make the point about those numbers, Phil. It is a thrill into the light, but it is not as you well know, Phil. These things sometimes go up and they can fall back. Yeah. But it's really the audience at the heart and whilst

We sometimes clash on a lot of topics together. That's the great engagement that I love and enjoy. And that audience that brings that coffee table environment where you can have these discussions is just an absolute pleasure. Five mornings a week gone three at WU. Well, you are a brilliant broadcaster and tonight you're inducted as for the first type, perhaps, in your life. And we'll deserve from now on in the three at WU Tony, our living legend.

very kind of if they'll love your work, as you know, for many, many years. And it's a joy to catch up with Andrew again and thoughts with Simon. I hope he gets well soon. Yes, we do. And he is a leader of Simon's another living legend without him. We're all kangaroo Edward. Absolutely. And we'll catch you again on that midnight train to Georgia. On the wings of the snow.

Oh, it must be time to talk to Bill Dove. How are you? Say hello to Andrew McLaren.

Hello, Andrew. Hello. It's very nice to hear you. And I'd like to talk to you, too, Bill. Now, Bill organises a wonderful concert, which is on tomorrow afternoon. Tell us the where and when and who's performing, Bill. Right. OK. Is that tomorrow at the end? What time? The retirement village in 1995, Alta Crescent, Brighton. Yes. And there's lovely, lovely venue. All members of the public are welcome. OK.

Again, now on the bill, we have a quick family pleasure. And Laurie Harnett, we have Loretta Hodgson, Geraldine Morrow, lovely Patty Lewis, which is always a joy to have her pop in with the, I don't know if I mentioned Loretta, she will be there. And that ever vibrant young bloke, Helen.

And he will be there with good oil. Unfortunately, your phone keeps breaking up. Tell us what time this starts in Brighton, please. Two o'clock, get two o'clock, Bill. And I think it's $15 to get in, which includes afternoon tea and dual prizes too.

Exactly, and I'll tell you what, you had the luck running with you on the last two weeks because you drew the Lucky Door prize. Hair embarrassing, Andrew. And you were the winner. I've been to their concerts a couple of times lately, drawn the raffles, and on both occasions I've won first prize.

And also... You've got to watch him, Bill. Let me be very careful. And on both occasions, Bill, when I drew second prize, it was the lady sitting next to me. And that happened on both occasions as well. Don't forget, you've got Norm Cam tomorrow at the piano. He's a one-man band. And also, you've got Ken Keach, master illusionist. So it's going to be a wonderful show at 2 p.m. It's only $15 to get in. And the address in Brighton, one more time, Bill.

10.95 outer crescent Brighton. OK, I hope you have a wonderful time and we'll talk to you again before Christmas. Oh, any old iron, any old iron, any, any old iron. You look neat, talk about the tree, you look never from your deputy feet, dressed in star, brand new tile, and your father's old green tile. I wouldn't give you time for your old Australian old iron.

What a great introduction for a great man. A man who knows more about paraphernalia and collectibles than anyone in the world. Yes. He's the first to tell you. Rick Mill a very good evening and welcome to 3W once again. Hi, Rick. Thank you Andrew and hello Phillip. Oh, that was it. Wasn't we don't get any more than that? After that big build up, it's just thank you.

Don't you want to be hurt a little bit? Say, oh, no, that would be good. And we'll do it again soon. Hey, before we go any further and calls, of course, Phil, isn't it? Yeah, on 1, 3, 6, 9, 3, for free valuations on anything under the sun, 1, 3, 6, 9, 3. Yes.

I have a friend, Rick, who has been collecting license plates, number plates for cars. Yes. And there was one particular plate. I won't say what it is. And it was not by him. He sold it for a profit after holding it for about 10 years. But it's been resold for $30,000. A Victorian number plate? A Victorian number plate. An early one. So there is money out there. What do you know about this, Rick?

Well, if you've got the right numbers, if you've got a number plate with a number of eight in it, that's always extremely sellable. Friends from the Near East, we'll say. The people who live here, but eight is the lucky number. And also, if you've got some of the very early numbers,

Of course, they sell for millions. We're talking about numbers. One, two, three, four, up to about twenty-five. Well, now, his plate actually said something. I won't say one of these, but it actually was a phrase, if you know what I mean? And as I said, he sold it for about six or seven thousand, but it's gone to become a very valuable item.

Somebody, somebody's obviously being prepared to pay for the potential sum. I'm talking never played. That's unusual. Well, anyway. A little speaker in it. Quite loud at night, I believe, too. It's scream at motorists who got too close. And what about personalized number, play trick? Any demand for them? There can be, especially if it relates to

something that people might be enthusiastic about, like you know, something to do with a great final of some football game for some years gone by or something of whatever.

You know, Maggie, you know, was such and such a date when they went to premiership and those sort of things they can tell a bit. But generally speaking, a lot of the number plates are just sort of what we'll call showing off number plates, depending on who the person is. But that's a lot of those. But if you've got one that has some meaning here, they can tell us some...

Well, I'll be the first to ask for evaluation. My number plate reads Stud Muffin, then it's M-U-F-N. So what do you reckon that's worth on the market, the urban market? I would suggest you, the only person who would ever...

Have a number bled like that, it has to be said. Oh, yeah. I'm chasing this one, 3AW693. That could be a bit hard to come by, don't you think? Well, I've got to tell you what, I look, you know, they've got the new number bled with a number and then two letters and a number and two letters. I'm waiting for the one that's got 3AW3AW.

Right, they will be one, won't they? Yes. There's somebody. Somewhere down the track. I remember parked outside 3USZ in Berkstra in the city, was a Mercedes, a black Mercedes limousine in the 1960s, and the number plate ready to use Z333. It was the car of Oliver J. Nielsen, the owner of the radio station 3USZ. How about that?

Yeah, well, I have seen one that was for BC, which actually is a very interesting Brisbane. I've seen one with a four BC, but I'm still waiting to see one with three AWW. There will be one that will have certainly a due course, three AWW. But of course, if the seller knew that I was the buyer, he'd probably inflate the price. Well, I have never had one. I must say, I'll never own one.

No, Bruce had one. Bruce Stroberwhite Mercedes, BMW 1.1. But I don't want to offend anybody listening, but I think personalised number plates are for hoons. I wouldn't describe Bruce Mansfield as a hoon. I think he's not around now. He's the one, Grisney, Richard. Richard, speaking of not just of licence plates, but do people collect street signs?

When they shouldn't, but they do. Where would you get them from, the local council? No, no, you, you know, still them. And, you know, like Bamborough Road, or, yes, that's right, or something like that. Yes, I can't say that in freedom. And you can buy old, old, um, street signs, and they bring them pretty fancy prices, I have to say, whenever they come up. They, they, we used to be blue. Quite a lot of them were blue, do you remember? Well, they know, I don't. Yeah. Yeah. They did. They had some blue, some blue ones, and then we'll fill. There is a,

I was presented at one stage with one from Milne Street in some way. Oh, weren't you lucky? Yes. Yes. And when I was young boys, you were too young to know. But I lived in what was called a war bond saving streak. It was a little yellow sign in black print. This is a war saving streak.

Oh, you know about them, Rick. Oh, I remember that Elden... Oh, you do. Elden, Radinson, Kilda, used to have that right up until about 1960 beyond. Yeah. Boys, let's take a break, then we'll come back. Trish is there, and we'd like your calls. Wonderful, £3, £6.93, and that's what Rick's here to value your goodies. And in the moment, Trish and Peter and your calls, too. Mika, what have you found this week, Rick?

Well, we found a rather wonderful ad for a company called Fairfield Habs, and the idea we should buy one of these for Christmas. I think you'd look pretty snifty in one of those, Andrew, have an effect. I'm just looking at it right now. Give him a... Oh, a Fairfield spelt in a rather unusual way. Yes, Fairfield had. It's with a very stylised sort of bellboy holding the hat for you. It's a wonderful little piece of what would it be. What a hero would it be, Rick?

I'd think 1940s, 50s, maybe. Yeah, I agree. Yes, yes, yes. There are many more hats back in those even to the footy. What else you got, Rick? A Beatles guitar. This is a plastic one, but it's a child's toy, I suppose it's cool, but it has the original box, and that makes it

That makes a huge difference. And with the box, probably a couple of thousand dollars. Wow, that's much amazing. Amazing. Because it's a very early version of the Beatles. We know we know very young. So that makes it pretty, it makes it very beautiful. And is the Gear Robot, which is, which is quite something. All the best robots were made in Japan, by the way. And again, it's got the box. So that's probably a thousand. And what about this Mickey Mouse handker?

Isn't he a beauty? Now that would be from, I reckon, probably the 1930s, maybe 1940s. Those handcuffs are the things, they just happen the right way, all lines in the country. You know, they're the things moved up and down as they went on fixing the lines and so forth. So the handcuff, that's also a good one, probably a thousand plus as well, because it also has the box. And finally,

Earth versus the flying soldiers. They talk about, they say, gone with the wind, Wizard of Oz and Earth versus flying sources in the one breath. Oh, yeah. Go on, Rich. OK, now. They're struck by the better they are the cells. Yeah, especially in the box. Hello, Trish in Barrie. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Good. Here's Rick for you. Sorry? How can we help?

I have a number of plates that I'm possibly interested in selling. It's not being used, it's not being registered to a car, it's a Victorian one and it's FKW-M-C-G. Shane Keith Warren, M-C-G. Yeah, you've got it right on the money. Shane Keith Warren, M-C-G.

Well, you, people would need to make the, the connection of course, and I assume they would. I did. So I suppose I wouldn't be the only one. So I would reckon they, you've got to, you should be able to get a pretty tidy sum for that. Trish, I've got a couple of suggestions. If you would care to grab a pen and take down my number before we finish in this little program here, then we can perhaps help you if that's your plan.

wonderful. Thank you. That's there. I wasn't going to sell it, but then I thought, you know, no, no, good one. Trish, Rick's event. What have you got? Peter Peterson, Bentley, folks. There's Peter. We're going good. How can we help Peter? Yeah. Look, I'm having a clean out of my house and I started working for a chain company called Olivet back in 1965. And I've got a collection of

all this stuff from typewriters and any machines and all sorts of bits and pieces. And I've also got a collection of all. They had calendars like the National Bank used to have. And they give them out to their favorite clients every year. And I've got a carton full of them. So you worked there at all of it. Is that what you're saying, Peter? Yeah, I worked at a long time.

Yeah, adding machines. No, a mate of mine brought about 20 home from the from the tip once and he still got them. He thought he thought he was going to make himself a lot of money to adding machines. It's a little bit different. They can have a bit of value, Peter, Olivetti's. Well, I do get calls on Olivetti's, mostly Olivetti's and Underwood's the ones that people seem to have most of. But yes, you should be able to get, you know, maybe

Well, I don't know exactly how many these days, maybe up to a couple of hundred dollars, perhaps. And what else did you have? What were the other things? What calendar, which were like the National Bank calendars. And I've got... Oh, calendars, yeah. Yeah, I don't know what they were saying. Otherwise, they're just going to put them out on the, uh... ...pond robbery speech. But something... I wouldn't do that. At the very least, I'd give them to one of the charity shops. And even if they get a dollar, right, that's better than nothing, isn't it?

Good for you, Pete. Thanks. Good on you, Peter. We are talking to Rick Mill, of course, about collectibles and presentables and intimates and all the rest of it, with the original stud muffin himself, Mr Mill. And you're very modest. Own up to it. You are and you were and you always will be. We're back very soon.

I actually went to Sri Lanka last year with inspiring vacations. No, it's terrific. Did it well done? Oh, they are the best. Now, what are you looking for this week, Rick? For all clients, of course, Philip and Andrew, we're looking for comics of all kinds for toys, cameras, movie posters,

What else have we got? Sporting cards, including Scanlan's and so forth. And also, if anybody has the old VFL of the VFA membership tickets, one of these to click. Little booklets that used to click when they went through the turnstiles and so forth. I've got people looking for all of those. Anybody has anything? They could give us a bell. Oh, zero, four, one, eight, three, three, nine, one, zero, three. Just quickly, are you still looking for bookmakers bags? Those big white bags with the black leather in? You've got one, have you?

No, I haven't, but I did see one the other day covering the racing here in the spring carnival. Someone had one on display, but no, they're pretty rare, I guess. Quite hard to find. They sell for about, these days, about $400, which is quite sizable, but that's about their price. I should have listed those too, and also race books while we're at it.

And I was asked people, is it worth saving their Christmas cards from year to year? Do they become valuable? Well, I get a handful, Rick, yes. Yeah, we used to have a string that ran from one into the kitchen to the other and I had them and they should get 150. We might get three.

Yeah, times have changed. You're obviously out of favor, Rick. Look forward to catching him at night to do during the week. Rick Millen, everybody.

These are the things that we remember

The clip up of the milky as the morning sun comes up. Top of pop, cinnert ice cream and dixies in a cup. All in motion for is and the boomerang books and brushes and that amazing test when Australia retained the ashes. These are the things that we remember.

Ah, yes, we remembered well and hoping that Simon's coming along, okay? I'm sure he's lending an ear to the show and making notes and how lucky we are to have Andy deputizing for him to the next. Thanks, Phil. Thank you very much. And it's a normal show, even though Simon's absent. Kevin Trusk is here in a moment of time tunnel, but good evening. Kevin. Hello, Simon. Hello.

I had the same job one an hour ago. No, I think he's mocking you, Phil. He heard that. I did hear that. It's all right. How are you, Andrew? Look, it's so good to be in the company of Kevin Bumbundtras. And I always remember you as that. Bumbundt, yeah, well, that was my big hit. You may remember, I had Bufy here then. You were fabulous. Thank you.

I knew you was Officer Krupke in my short story when you blew your lines. I wasn't Officer Krupke. What is it? Krupke. I was Lieutenant Brennegan. I had lines, lots of lines, and I had to remember them quite a bit. And I did it twice, my side story, by the way, and it's a fabulous show. I wish they'd do it again. And did you do...

The music man? Yes, I played the music man. So you've done trouble and 76 dumb bodies? Oh, gee, I'm really admire you for that. I wasn't any good, but that would be very demanding. Now, who's past Kevin? Well, a couple, Colin Peterson, you've already mentioned, he was 78. He also met Gene Kruper when he was a young boy of seven or eight. He was a drummer, and they took him down to the airport and set him up with his drums.

Gene Kripper's coming down the onto the tarmac from the plane. There's little Colin... And he dropped one of his sticks, but Gene Kripper didn't mind. So that was quite good at a young age. And then to get cast as smiley in the 1956 film was absolutely fantastic. And you mentioned, of course, that he was a BG's drummer from 1967 to 1969, a couple of years of great.

in his career. Let's listen to an interview I did with Colin Peterson talking about how he landed the role of Smiley in the 1956 Australian film.

there would have been hundreds of kids across Australia and you're in Brisbane. So how did you get the part of Smiley in the film? I just decided to go back to the cinema and see what was going on. Perhaps I could look through a window and I didn't think I'd go back. He's going to see you and you'll land the part or anything like that. I was just inquisitive. Just as I'm walking down the side of the cinema, the producer who I'd seen earlier,

comes out of those fire doors to have a cigarette and a couple of minutes break from the auditioning. And he looks at me and he said, what are you doing here? He didn't know who I was. I was no fool. I wasn't going to say to him, oh, don't you remember me? I'm the boy you saw early on. You didn't think was right for the part, right? I said, I'm here for the audition.

And he looked me up and down and he said, do you think you'd be any good at this sort of thing? And I said, I think I would be. Yeah. And we sat on the steps together and read through a scene. And he took my name and phone number and that. And he said, I will be in touch. We'll fly you down to Sydney next week for an audition, a screen test.

jump on the tram, I think, and go back and I got the back steps of grandma's house. And Mum said, oh, how are you going, Colin? You're having fun. I said, oh, I went back to the cinema. She said, oh, why'd you go back there? She said, it's all over. I said, you're wrong, Mum. I bumped into the producer and guess what? They're flying me down next week for a screen test. She couldn't believe it.

And that's how he got it. What a super story, that's wonderful, isn't it? Yeah. What an astute kid he was. Yeah, my mate went down to the Grand in Coburg to audition for it. They had auditions at the picture theatres or the plays. All over Australia, actually. Yes. How he got that is just amazing. Oh, good on him, yeah. I remember auditioning for Gladiator.

What role were you going for? What do you think? The gladiator himself, the Russell Crowe. I thought I had Joanne cut up the little leather outfit for me and all that thing, no. They didn't cast him. You were more lucky getting the part of driving Miss Daisy.

It's not very insulting to me. It's all ingested, isn't it? We also have our social eye-pixie space for a year, a widow of Christopher's case. At the age of 83, now Phil, did you meet Pixie? No, I had parts never crossed. Did you just mean a lot of time? Probably some wild cocktail party, yes, but who'd remember? You know what I mean? Yes. The 80s are a blur for me. Yes, you probably.

You might have danced with her at the underground for all we know. Well, she was maybe. I think Christopher used to get a bit jealous. So maybe both rest in peace. I think Pixie was a lovely lady from everything I've read. She was just a beautiful person, so a sympathy to the family. Our boys will take a break and come back with a time tunnel of 1990. It's time to go back and remember the people of this and using to the soundtrack of our lives with Trasp's time tunnel.

Bye!

Deep into the time tunnel, of course, with Mr Kevin Trask. And what year is it this time? Well, it is this time. It is 1990, 34 years ago, which makes it nostalgia. Yeah, but before you do it, it sure does. We started off at 9 o'clock with the Nell Jolson's. Oh, yes, you did. And don't forget the Jolson Society meeting on Tuesday night at the North Fitzgerald Library out there in St George's Road. And they're featuring Bing Crosby and Elle Jolson together. It's going to be a great night.

And they've got a lot of stuff there, and everybody's welcome. Doors are open at 7.30. We're in rooms one and two, just knock on the door and tell them Phil sent you. Come in. Andy, are you a member of any secret societies? Yes. And they will remain secret. Thank you very much. He's good at that.

I had a wonderful evening with Shirley McLean, Andrew Peacock and the actress Liv Holman on one occasion that saw was Nightclub in South Yarra and you want to live with Shirley tonight? Well, she's here several times. I think the one you were talking about was early in the mid-80s. Yeah, at least 30 years, 40 years ago, yes. This appearance was

in 1990. And she just turned 90 in April of this year. I went to see her at the Pillow, that part of it in the same life. Yeah. Well, yes. And that's where I saw her at the Pillow. But she was discovered by, of all people, Jerry Lewis. She was in a Broadway show called The Pajama Game. The leading lady broke her leg. Is that Carol Haney? Carol Haney. Is that right? Correct. Well, Andrew will be impressed. He is. I can tell by the look on his face.

Just keep dropping those nuggets in Phil, we can't get enough of them. You should have auditioned for Gladiator with him Phil, you've only been terrific team. No, my toga wouldn't fit. So, anyhow, Jerry Lewis is in the audience at the mat night and he sees her on stage, he's so impressed with it, he rings up how Wallace and said, look, I've got two tickets tonight for the pyjama. I want you to see this girl and her name is Shirley MacLaine. So, the two of them went to the theatre

Hal was so impressed, he signed her for Paramount, and Jerry Lewis wanted her in the film, Artisan Models. She got into it, 1955 started her career. But she won the Academy Award for terms of endearment as best actress, and she did a lot of films, and she has been to Australia on several occasions.

In 1990, who's in the... Who's playing drums for Silly McLean at the Palae? Colin Peterson. No. Gene Kruper. No. Cubby O'Brien, the Mouseketeer. Oh, yeah? Little Cubby. Was he a drummer? Was he? He became a drummer? Oh, yeah, he was a drummer.

And so little, oh, he's also worked with the carpenters. He filled in for Cameron Carpenter. They wanted to do more singing, so they bought in another drummer, and that was little cubby. I did not know this. Yeah, it's interesting information. I hope you're writing this down, you blokes. You could use it later on. Yeah, my permission. Thank you. It's very gracious, isn't it? So I rang little cubby. When will Andy get a chance to use it? Could be a year from now.

I rang a little cubby, his name is Cubby O'Brien. Carl Patrick is his real name. In his hotel room, I spoke to him about not how he showed him a claim. What you sort of stalked into? Yeah, I did.

What did he have to say for himself? He said this. Well, you've been very busy throughout those years, but Shirley McLean, now she's just fabulous on stage and she makes a point of introducing you during the show. Right? I started with Shirley about three years ago. She put together this new act. She hadn't been doing a stage show for about six years or so. And we put together this new thing and I'm having a great time with her. She's just fantastic. I mean, a legend. I mean, where can you see a superstar?

movie star on stage that can sing and dance and entertain the way she does. There's just nobody else doing that. I totally agree with you. I don't know where she gets all the energy from to be quite honest, Cubby. I don't know. She goes all day. You know, whenever we're in different places like Australia or Japan or Europe, she's gone investigating doing all kinds of things, running around all day, and then she comes and puts on a great show at night.

cubby o brine it's been wonderful talking to you on the program and thanks for taking the time out from your very busy to talk to us on the program

You know the feeling that you get each time your birthday comes. That's the feeling that you get when Cubby plays a drum. Hey Cubby play Cubby play those drums. You have heard the crowds all roar when the Yankees play the bums. That's the way the crowds all roar when Cubby plays a drum. Hey Cubby play Cubby play those drums.

Now, Andy, please. Please join in the quiz, if you will. Well, we'll do. Yeah, sure. Lead us through a check. Right, here we go. Which of the following turned down the role of Sam Wheat in the 1990 film, Ghost? Sam Wheat was eventually played by Patrick Swayze in the film, but which of the following turned down the role? Yes. Was it A, Johnny Depp?

B, Brad Pitt. C, Chuckles Bradley. Or D, Paul Hogan. It's got to be Chuckles Bradley. Because it's your answer, I'll put you down. Chuckles Bradley. Always one of my favourites. Well, are you kidding? Because I think Kevin's made that name up. I don't think he's on the list at all. Are you sticking with Chuckles?

How you? I might have made a mistake there. It's possible. Yeah, you can't go back. You've locked in. All right, it chuckles. Chuckles is locked in. Chuckles Bradley's your answers. Yeah, right. What about you, Ben? ABCOD. To be honest, I think I've heard this before. I think it might be Paul Hogan, because Brad Pitt was his first one was the one with Judy Davis, not Gina Davis. Oh, yeah. When Harry Met Sally or something. No, no, no, it's the one where they would jump over the car.

I think there was later. I think there was Brad's first movie. Yes, and that was poor play. Some were all the ways in that. Can you remember? OK, I think it might be a Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp for film. OK, so one of us could be right.

Tell us, Deb. And the answer is, out of our misery. OK, Eddie, it wasn't Brad Pitt, by the way. Brad Pitt is not in the mix. Yes, you're right, Ben. And I'm sorry, Phil, it wasn't Johnny Depp. Oh, so it was chuckles. No, no, no, it wasn't chuckles. Did you make that up? Did you make that up? Of course I made it up. I thought you did. It's swine, trust. I don't know.

And he just led me down that path. I must tell the radio audience, he was winking at me when he said Chuckles Bradley. I thought that was a clue. Not to be trusted. I got a little bit of dust in my eye. That was all. So Ben, Ben got it right. Ben got it right. Paul Hogan turned down the role. Wow. And Paul Hogan was, you know, in a lot of films. So, sadly, he wasn't, he was the one that turned it down. Oh. She'd be screaming about that, wouldn't he? Was one of the biggest films of the years. So, yeah.

Because after the... I can't think it was slightly different. Up on the Dundee franchise sort of peed it out. It really wasn't that much for Paul, was it? No. No. Tell us about your mate Larry King. Oh, Larry King, yes. Well, this is television in 1990, and the Larry King show was on CNN. And I was a regular watcher this, we had cable TV, so... Yeah.

I loved it because he had fantastic guests on. And he was a good interview. He was a really top interviewer. And anyhow, this particular time in the show, he had Sammy Davis Jr. Now, Sammy Davis Jr., of course, came to Australia on several occasions, was a member of the Rat Pack. I thought he was a terrific singer. But here is Sammy Davis Jr. in an interview with Larry King on his TV show.

This really surprised me that you were supposed to star in the defiant ones with Elvis Presley and that wound up being what Tony Curtis and Sidney Portia, right? Yes, it did. Well, that would have been wild. You and Elvis Presley in the defiant ones. I think it would have been wild if Elvis and I could have done anything together because we were good friends and we both had the same love for audience, the same love for performing, and he was a good friend.

You know, when they think of me, they think of me with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, or Shirley MacLean, who have dear friends and buddies at Liza, but they never think of me knowing and being buddies with Elvis. And he was just a wonderful guy, but there were a lot of reasons for it. First of all, they didn't want, I don't think the Colonel wanted Elvis to do that kind of piece, because you must remember that was very controversial at the time. Elvis was a tortured soul, was he not? Yes, he was.

I made a guest appearance on the Larry King show. You may not be aware of that, Andrew. In what formal shape? Well, I was sitting watching it in my pajamas one morning. It was the day of Frank Sinatra's funeral. They had a panel on and they were talking about the funeral. And Larry King said, if anyone would like to contribute, here's the number.

So I thought it would be lovely to say, you know, Frank can work with my cousin Diana Trask and help her along the way. And so I picked up the phone and dialed the number and suddenly they said, yes, you're next on, what's your question? No. And suddenly I was on the Larry King show. Yeah, that's incredible. You would think the lines would be just absolutely jammed for something like that, wouldn't you? You would think so. You would think so. You know, I thought, what question am I going to ask?

Well, you never got around to Diana, did you? No, I never got around to Diana. First thing I thought, well, hang on, Jerry Lewis is supposed to be the funeral. Was Jerry Lewis at the funeral? No, no, no, no, no. There'd be a big panel, we had them all, there's Shirley Jones and all the big stars on the panel and they're, oh, no, no, no, no, he wasn't there. And then I'm about to go, Diana, and he said, well, cut now, we go to the commercial.

Yeah, but something else happened in Asia, didn't it? Yes, there was a sicano Announcy's retirement, so they cut the Asian food, so I lost half the world in my mouth. Oh, how sad. So I was hardly on an America in the UK. I couldn't do a shot, couldn't I? They're still talking about it in America. No, you've got people in the street. None of you know, Sammy Davis cooked for me in his suite at the Hilton.

Absolutely. You're kidding. No, no. For Pete Smith and Bert and Patty and myself and maybe Don Lane, I can't recall. But yes, we all went back to the suite after the show. Had a wonderful time. What was he like? Oh, fantastic. Yeah. I liked a recording he'd made of a ballad called When the Wind was Green.

And he said, thank you very much. Nobody else has ever acknowledged that song. Thank you. And when eventually I left the room, he said, and thank you for when the wind was green. Honestly. Yeah. Well, what about we? I shared a seat on a plane to Sydney with Ian Terpy, mate. Good on you. Yeah. No, you're bad. No, it's pretty damn good. Well, when are you going to write your book? Your autobiography. That'll be about chapter three.

Yeah, the short book isn't. Not too many pages. Hey, at this stage, we're talking paragraphs. OK. It's not pages. Several paragraphs. Headlines. Here, wait for my biography. It's called... Get off the... No, what's it called? Get off the red car, but I don't want to see stars. It hasn't been written yet, but it'll be ghosted eventually. Yeah, on any day now. It's 10.30.

and 26 to 11 deep into the time tunnel with Kevin Trask and the year is 1990 and Civil War. Well the Civil War documentary was a nine part by Ken Burns and it was a remarkable piece of teller. What's fantastic, they use photographs, letters from home, all sorts of things they could get their hands on. Great narration, beautiful narration by

whoever did it, but they should play it on TV again. I think it was just a terrific series. So let's go back now to 1990 when it first came out and hear a little bit of the Civil War. A week before the Battle of Bull Run, Sullivan Baloo, a major in the second Rhode Island Volunteers, wrote home to his wife in Smithfield. July the 14th, 1861, Washington, D.C.

Dear Sarah, the indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days, perhaps tomorrow. Unless I should not be able to write you again, I feel impelled to write a few lines that may fall under your eye when I'm no more. And I am willing, perfectly willing, to lay down all my joys in this life to help maintain this government and to pay that debt. Sarah,

My love for you is deathless. It seems to bind me with mighty cables that nothing but omnipotence can break. And yet my love of country comes over me like a strong wind and bears me irresistibly with all those chains to the battlefield. The memory of all the blissful moments I've enjoyed with you come crowding over me. And I feel most deeply grateful to God and you that I've enjoyed them for so long.

and how hard it is for me to give them up and burn to ashes the hopes, future years. When God willing, we might still have lived and loved together and see our boys grown up to honorable manhood around us. If I do not return, my dear Sarah, never forget how much I loved you.

Nor that when my last breath escapes me on the battlefield, it will whisper your name.

I have. What's that? This American Civil War went for four years, dreadful time in American history. Do you know, I'm aware that every republic in the world has had a civil war? Did you know that? Really? Take that in, if you will. Now, who passed in 1990? Well, Ava Gardner, she was good, wasn't she? She was here for On The Beach. Rex Harrison, he was here for a show at the comedy. They all came over, didn't they? Eve Arden, she was on in Sydney. You told me, yes. Yeah, Sydney. Who else we have?

Terry Thomas, I don't know if he came. Did he come to Australia? I'm not aware. He doesn't mean he passed. The gap tooth guy, wasn't he? Yeah, passed away in 1990. Funny man, yeah. Yeah. And Pearl Bailey died at the age of 72 in 1990. She was a, you know, tremendous performer in America. She did hello, Dolly. She was the first ever American to play Dolly Levi.

And she had a hit called It Takes Two to Tango, which was probably her biggest hit in the 1950s. But here she is with Bing Crosby, the old Pearl Bailey, and she was a terrific singer with Gone Fishin.

Working anymore. Not anymore, like me, hell. Girl, pass by your door, you raps, but you had gone fishing now. If I ever get back to this course, it'll be a miracle. Tell me, God's fishing. Come, come, come, come, come. Don't know how I'll sing the song.

I'd say no more work for mine, on my door I'd hang a sign, gone fishing, oh yes, instead, I've just, I've just, I wishin', sazu, sazu, sazu, sazu, sazu, oh, hold it, save some of that for me. You want a little sazu, sazu, sazu, sazu, sazu, sazu, you know you may not live in all these years, just sazu, sazu, sazu, sazu.

Oh!

Great fun, great fun. Fabulous. And now, come on Ben, join in with Andy and myself for Kevin's Mystery Voice. Well, what about Johnny Ray? The parsing of Johnny Ray, are we going to mention that, Phil? OK, yeah. Yeah, he died at the age of 63. That's very young. Oh, very young. Sadly, the victim of alcohol. Yes. Did you see him on stage? I did, and I interviewed him, and it was a great pleasure to meet you. Did you? You interviewed him. I did indeed. Have you still got that recording?

I think so. It was transferred to Cassette, and I had it on Reel to Reel, but I met him at the Erm, that Hotel, Ervin Rockman's Hotel. Okay. And interviewed him there. And it was Regency. That was it, the Regency Hotel there, which was diagonally opposite the comedy Theta, wasn't it?

From memory? Yes. It was anyway, yes, yes. And even then, and this was a late morning interview, not early morning, but there was a bottle of burger. A bottle of burger. That's very serious. Cooking sherry there. Well, yes, sadly, and a lovely man, very gentle, very pleasant, and quite hard of hearing by the stage. Yes, I think you went completely deaf in one of you, and the other ears started to pack up as well. Now, Phil, you had a problem with him. I remember you saying something about electrical problems with him.

No, I never met the man. I went to see him at the pully and the sound broke down. That's it. Yeah, the sound started abusing everybody. And I don't blame him. You know, he's putting on a show. Yeah, they should have a standby mic at least. Absolutely. Well, he did pass away at the age of 63 in 1990 and came to Australia quite a bit. He had big fan bases in the United Kingdom and Australia. The money had

America. He had more hits in this country than he had in his home country. Oh, really? Absolutely. Now, Bob Horsforth, the late Bob Horsforth, managed to do an interview with him too. So here's Bob Horsforth talking to, well, look for your interview in the future, Andrew. But here he is talking to Johnny Ray. Firstly, let's speak to a young man who traveled to Australia for the third time and again packed them in. Yes, it's Johnny Ray.

remember sunshine can be found behind the cloudy sky so let your head down and go

Who would you say is the nicest little lady you've ever met? Queen Elizabeth. I suppose you met her on quite a few occasions too. No, I've only met the Queen once. And when was that? November 7th, 1955. What hour? Well, that was the biggest deal of my life, meeting a royal family and thinking for it.

Well, approximately, how many chews do you record a year? Oh, I wouldn't have any ideas, because many times you record. Yes, you record several, or maybe you get the two songs, and the release date fluctuates from one release to the next. I'd say maybe two dozen. Would you name some of your best sellers? Ah, such a night. Cryed. Little like clouds are cried. Walk on that baby back home.

Well, I don't know. You see, I'm not really a Johnny Ray fan. I don't have any of my records at all. So I really don't know what's going on, what doesn't actually. Oh, very humble man. Great. Let's take a break, folks. Hands up Ben, Andy and the flipper. All in favor of the mystery voice. After this break.

Guys, let's hear it for Simon feeling very sorry for himself. Bad written with the flu and just not up to scratch. Take care, Simon, we care about you and we miss you heaps. Let's hear it for Simon, everybody. Yeah, go on, Simon. Just take it easy, mate. Take it easy, mate. We can't do the listen a bit on the mystery voice but today because Simon's not here. But I guess we can just have a shot at it or you guys can have a shot at it. And then people at home can stick their chest out if they get it right.

And they can text in as well to 0477 693 693. Will you handle that? Will you? Oh, absolutely. So text in, name suburb 0477 693 693. Oh, that's good news. OK, let's go to the mystery force. It is a male, boys. And when you speak, angels sing from above.

Every day words seem to turn into love songs Give your heart and soul to me And life will always be love your love

Oh, an American? Yes. A live? Yes. And this was recorded about 1990, though, it's a fairly... Oh, in the roundabout there, yeah, 80s to 90s. And this person was active in 1990. Popular in 1999. A movie star? Yes. Still alive? Yes, yes, we were told, yes.

Has he been here? Did you tell us he's been to Australia? I think he has. I'd never met him or anything, but I think he may have been here. Well, not the Star of Fraser. Are you talking about Kelsey Grammar? Yes. No, not Kelsey Grammar. Could it be someone like Clint Eastwood? Clint Eastwood. That's a good guess. No, it's not Clint. Is this guy a comedian? No.

Does he make records normally? No. So this was like a one-off? Yes. And is he in dramatic movies? Yes. OK. And he's still around working? You're working well here, Phil. Are you still working yet? Yeah, no. He's not. OK, he's retired. Come on, Andy. Any ideas? James Garner, someone like that? James Garner. That's your answer, James Garner. Yes, it is. Sorry, it's not correct. Oh, yeah. Stan, would you? How could you say that? And your face doing a lesson?

How could you make that mistake when we've already been told a man is still alive? Okay, Brady. Were they more of a TV? I was desperate. You got to pay attention. Were they more of a TV person? Shut your mouth. Both of you. Come on, Ben. Were they more of a TV person, Kevin? No, no, not TV. I'd like to hear it again, please, Ben. Thanks. And when you speak, angels sing from above.

Every day words seem to turn into love songs Give your heart and soul to me And life will always be

I love you. Did you say Chuckles Bradley? Just a desperate chance. Andy, could it be a pretty boy like Brad Pitt, do you think? Oh, I don't think so. I don't think it's... I've got to feel like it's an older guy. This voice is very reminiscent of Shabbalah, you know. I've got to feel like when he says, when Kevin gives the answer, or someone gives the answer, it'll be Shabbalah, and we know. Yeah, and you think, oh, I should've known that. But why is it hot? What about hot?

Leonardo DiCaprio? Very good guess, but it's not Leonardo. And not Brad Pitt? No. Russell Crowe? Russell Crowe? Russell Crowe? No, no, not Russell Crowe. OK, Tom Cruise? Not Tom Cruise. No, it would be Tom Cruise. Oh, he's made the odd record. A movie star. Around in the 90s. And you're not making movies now? No. Give us a clue. Well, he's... Mary DeChamboli famous? Not that I can recall, no.

No, he has retired. He made a number of films. Were they westerns? I don't think he even made a western. OK. Gene Hackman. Like a Gene Hackman, yes. It's Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson is correct. Oh, Andy!

Well done. Oh, wow. Place that laurel brief. Now we know. I'm just going to refer to cameo. Yeah, please. And when you see angels sing from above.

Every day words seem to turn into love songs. Give your heart and soul to me. And life will always be. Love you.

Well done Andy, yes. I love the song too, isn't it a great song? Take me to your heart again. Originally, of course, Edith Piaf, isn't it? Have you always got that right Ben? Well, congratulations to Russell of Mooney Pons. He got Jack Nicholson right off the bat about five minutes ago. We also had Phil of Mill Park, he was second and then we had a bunch of other guesses including Bruce Willis, Nicholas Cage, back Iraq.

And John Malkovich and William Shatner. Okay, thanks folks. That was a beauty, kept well done. And now let's look at radio in 1990. Well, 1990 is the year when Remember When began. And the late Keith McGowan was doing the overnight show at 3AWN Latrobe Street. And two young fellas by the neighbor Philip Brady and Bruce Mansfield started the very first Remember When. No, no, the first one was Neville Rag. Oh yeah, that was the one with Neville Rag and

Clucks and clear. Yeah, Lenny Holmes. Oh, Lenny Holmes. There was a much earlier one. Yeah, Paul Cronin in 1979. But I mean, the first time for these boys, this is the first time. Oh, I see. The duo were on the air. On the eve of Christmas Eve, or what? So that is how many years ago, Phil? Well, I mean 90, about 35 years. Yeah. 34 years. 34 years. So we're going back to that night, and we're going to hear the boys in action for the very first time, and the comments from Keith McGowan.

Well, good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to tonight's edition of Remember When, a special Christmas edition, so to speak, of six hours of wallowing in marvelous nostalgia, nostalgia of Melbourne, and to share the hot seat Philip Brady. Good evening. Hi, folks. How are you? Good to see you, Bruce. It's 10 years since I've sat in this chair. It's wonderful to be back at the Macquarie Palace again. And what a week it's been with all the Christmas shopping. I guess everyone's feeling a little frazzled, writing cards, putting up the tree, sending presents.

Yes, indeed, at that time of year. And we couldn't have been hit by a worse storm last night that sent the whole city into a havoc. And I drove, actually, through Baughan and Canterbury today, and the actual had in trees. Urela, for example, was almost, you know, shifted with the force of the wind. You know, I missed it. The storm that is. Where were you? In North Croix, and we didn't feel a thing out there. I was a dinner guest of some friends of ours, and we had a little lightning, but that was all. It was not amazing. And I believe that Footscray was the worst effective.

Well, for all those people who are in convenience, we hope you've mopped up and you're back on your feet again now. A lot of friends of mine were flooded out overnight. Did they come and stay with you? No, no, no. I'd bolt and close the worry for me. I know you, no room at the end. I know you, Bruce, man. That's right, keeping him in the Christmas spirit.

Quite remiss I haven't said thank you to Bruce Mansfield and Phil Brady Congratulations to Bruce Mansfield and Philip Brady for a marvellous remember when the preceding six hours just terrific to hear the two together Bruce Mansfield and Philip Brady there's some huge talent there some butte memories and That's going to be a great radio program and judging by what they put together tonight for their first effort It's a static row and grow and grow and attain heights that have never been achieved we saw before so welcome Bruce and welcome Philip Brady

Good to hear all those voices again. Six to eleven, it is remember when we must take a break in Kevin Trask's Time Tunnel. Getting near the end of the Time Tunnel here, or the end of the tunnel itself, and Songs of 1990, Mr. Trask. OK. Join in, Ben. Who's saying these songs, boys? You can't touch this. No, I'll be out in there. M.C. Hammer. Very good from the rocks. Great. Good. Am I supposed to live without... How am I supposed to live without you? How am I supposed to live without you? I think that's right, Adam's.

No. Eric Smith? No. Michael Bolton? Yeah, Michael Bolton is correct. Hey, how's that? Nothing compares to you. Oh, Chanate O'Connor. This correct. Girl, I'm going to miss you.

No, no, no, Ben. No, I'm sorry, I'm out of that one. Millie Vanilli. Oh, okay. Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, I don't know, it could have been, it could have been Vanilli-miming, I don't know. What about Blaze of Glory?

Oh, come on, Vina. That was Midnight Oil. Correct. And John Farnham had his big hit out and the album released on the 24th of September, 1990 had a song called Shane Reactions. See you next week, yeah. You know, boys, and next week we go to 1968. Goodbye now. Good night.

one more kiss to see

Saturday morning, cereals chapters 1 through 15. Fly paper, penny loafers, lucky strike reed. Flat tops, soft tops, duty bakers, peps, it leaves.

Ah yes, that's what we're here for. Andy, Mac, just to explain who you are and why you were here. I am Andrew McLaren. I can say I'm Spartacus, suddenly. I feel like saying, no, I'm Andrew McLaren. I'm Andrew McLaren.

I am Andrew McLaren. Thank you. And Kristi Sullivan in the newsroom will come in very soon and say, everyone is, but I am Andrew McLaren. And I'm here just filling in like I did for Simon last night because our Simon Owens is just a bit butchezook. He'll be here. He will be back next week. Might even be back tomorrow night with Denden. Yes, for Simon Says. I hope so. Hopefully and good to have you back on here where you belong Andy. Thank you so much Simon. Always fun to be with you.

Now, explain what happens at this point of the show. Ben? Yes, we've got the music montage. Now, normally Simon would do it, but it falls to me. But he's handed me his silver envelope with all these montages and we've randomly picked one out. And what your job is at home is to send a text on 0477-693-693. We want your name, your suburb and the year of the montage. Now, all of these songs may have been released before,

The year or some may be in the charts after, but it's the year that all of them collectively were in the charts. Could we ask two? Don't cheat and go to Wikipedia to find out answers, please. No, no Googling. Googling is not allowed. Yeah, there is a non-Google zone here. Let's hear the songs, please.

Sadie, a cleaning lady With just this grubbing brush and little water Hey Jude, don't make it bad Take a sad song and make it

See the tree, how big it's grown But friend, it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big I laughed at her and she got mad The first day that she planted it was just a twig

Just call me angel, other morning angel Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby We've got a living now and although it may be faulty Sydney's got its scibbers, but we've got him faulty They've got Australian rules and they'll make up a chair Sydney's girls are way out front, but we've got stronger fear

You're much too young, girl. My, my, my dear, I love you. Why, why, why, dear, I love you.

In the office park is meant to be dark All the sleep and icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again

I want to tell you all the story about a Harper Valley widowed wife

Who had a teenage daughter Who attended Harper Valley Junior High Put your hands in the air Simple Simon says Shake them all about Simple Simon says Do it when Simon says Simple Simon says

I'm across the Louisiana River. Gotta catch a big bitch for us to eat. He's setting his cracks, catching anything he can. He's gotta make a living, he's a loser and a man. Gotta make a living, he's a loser and a man. Let's go to Indiana Lake is a sin you should make with your little one. Keep it in mind if you're looking to find a place in the sun.

You're the fella, you're the fella that rocks me

The sweetest things are there for you. Help yourself. Take a few. That's what I want you to do. To dream the impossible dream. To fight the unbeatable foe.

Fabulous songs, aren't they, each and every one of them? Yes, it has got to be 60s, doesn't it, just him and those sounds? And so I'm going to put that together and then kindly play it. I'm going to suggest

1969 I think it's going to be 68 and he's correct. Which song go over to you? Um, the good, the best of the last one. That instrument in the movie came out. Yeah, I remember seeing it.

What was a lot of super-violence for the time? Little did they know it was just going to get worse and worse-screen violence. That's a spaghetti western, that's right. Never got any better with the screen violence. Who was going to go right? First up, the cab off the rank was Graham from Hawthorne this week with 1968. Then we had John of Packernon.

Ashley of East Doncaster, Graham from Tollamarine, David of Frankston, Clint of Somerville, Thomas and Kilda, Trevor of Danny Nong, Andrew from Danny Nong and Kate. You know, I'll just correct you. You mentioned Graham first up. It was David, actually, the first caller. No, Graham was right at the top.

And you mentioned David, did you give him a mention? I don't know, he did. He's and no, David the fourth one. Oh, we won't come to blows. I'm going to say, I will leave you to squabble while we move on, gentlemen. No prizes.

No, David, David of Hawthorne was a little bit too late. What were you doing, Phil, in the year 1968? I know it would be TV, but what specifically were you doing in 1968? OK, I was working with Graham Kennedy as his sidekick at the desk in Melbourne tonight. I was also flying to Sydney every week to compare a panel game called Everybody's Talking. Well, you're right, the thick of it, weren't you, back then then? Oh, yeah, very much so, yeah. Yeah, I worked at that. I was a teacher's college.

Yeah, I was my first year as a student in Turak summer. Yeah, it was Turak. Oh, yeah. What about you, Ben? You were in Bournemouth. No, but I'm pretty sure my dad was 10 and my mum was five. OK, so yes. I wonder if they were Philip Brady fans.

Oh, remember though. Maybe not back then, but they are now. Oh yeah, they have to because we're working together. Yes, well Ben, you keep your job but you know what to say now. Listen, no more guests. The rest of the night is yours folks. We have 45 minutes for talk back and I know you encouraged this. Some might send this and available. Tonight it is. And my topic is, what rubs you up the wrong way? I'll give you three examples. What rubs you up the wrong way? I want you to join in too Ben.

First for me, I go to McDonald's and buy some apple pies, which are heated. And the problem is, well, I go to eat them. The apple pies are sticking to the cardboard. That's what rubs me up the wrong way. Well, you got it bad. I didn't realise, Phil. OK, fair enough. What rubs me up the wrong way?

Ah, I think the use of the word like in a sentence, the endless put insertion... Give me any example. I was like in conwood on Saturday night. Oh, yes. And like this girl came up to me like she was really cool. You know, I thought you were just hot. I understand, right. You know what I'm talking about? Like, don't you, Ben? Yeah, I like that. You're getting down with the kids, Andrew, with all of those likes. As you know, I'm also known as they, MacDude. They've... Now, what drives you up the wrong way, Ben?

When you're on an escalator, and especially when it's on the escalator going up and down to the train platform,

and you want to quickly get up or quickly get down and there's a mountain of people blocking your way when you're meant to stick to the left if you want to stay on the escalator and you're meant to be able to walk up the right and someone's just blocking the right and no one can get up. I agree. Also for me I live in a very narrow street.

And I spend all day giving away the traffic because Casa Park both sides of the road and there's just isn't enough room to wedge in unless somebody gives away. I'm the one who seems to give away. And very rarely do you get away of acknowledgment. Very rarely does anybody say, hey, thanks. They just take it for granted. I hate that they have right of weight.

When that happens with me and you're in a... Yeah. Someone's given way to me in a narrow street and I wind down the window and stick the McLaren paw out of that window and thank them that way with a flapping hand. Any recognition?

It was a little hope for it, too, at the same time. I hold up a fan card as I go by this. I drive very slowly. I wonder who remembers when Andy and Thorpe were on TV together doing the Good Friday appeal. I believe it's going to be in the best of TV moments.

It was only a one-off. I said, it only happened once. You only needed one stone to fill when you get magic like that. Yeah, magic was a word. Oh, it rubbed off Andy, didn't it? It did. We would never hurt off again. OK, your turn, folks. What rubs you up the wrong way? 1-3-6-9-3.

And Phil Brady and Andrew McLaren filling in for Simon Owens, this particular Sunday, if you've just joined us. When Ruiz Si is, he will be back next week. He's just not too good tonight. Now, a topic from you, please. Andy. Yes, indeed. I...

I want to know and would love some calls on the silliest, most outlandish fashion you've worn. OK. And not just girls, don't think this is just for girls because men have worn some pretty silly things over the years. And I remember having a sports coat in the 70s. Oh, it was the worst. Why did I?

And I spent, it was quite expensive, it was a pure wool. You've got five O's, shall we? I think there is one in this dreadful red and black chick, big chick, with these enormous lapels. It's absolute shocking. I don't know what I was thinking. I look at it now and it's still, I've still got it. It looks like something a clown would wear. That's hilarious. And what about us? Well, maybe not a clown, maybe Happy Hammond.

If happy was still around, he'd probably make it off. But what was the silliest, most outlandish fashion you wore? Have you still got the garment? Yeah, OK. What about for yourself? Ben?

In terms of topics or in terms of... A topic, yes, please. Well, because I mentioned that I saw Wicked earlier this morning, earlier this evening. And I was just curious, what are some of the great musical movies out there? Because I've seen The Wizard of Oz and I've seen The Sound of Music, but I haven't actually seen many movie musicals.

So I'd be curious to know what everyone's favourite is and what are some good recommendations. Yes, and mine is what rubs you up the wrong way. Our number for all three topics, 1-3-693. Yeah, 1-3-693 is the number. And first up, it's Siv. Hello, Siv. Yes, good day, boys. Look, I'm glad you mentioned this one, Phil, because, look, this rub's me up the wrong way.

Look, I do have hearing problems, I wear hearing aids, but I don't have it so badly that somebody next to me needs to be speaking on a phone so that the whole world hears the conversation. I mean, you people, don't you have anything that might be slightly referred to as discretion? Like, I'm on a train. I'll call you back when I'm off.

Yeah, okay. I mean, just absolutely consideration for everybody else around you. Yes. I don't know whether it's, I don't know whether it's that thing where seeing in a dark old days when we had landline phones, you could hear yourself. And so you could actually work out, okay, maybe I might be speaking a bit too loudly into the mouthpiece. Yes. But you don't have that with the modern mobile phone. And I think it's worse when you're using Bluetooth. I find when I, I have hearing aids that

are aligned so that you can use the Bluetooth feature on it. And when I use the Bluetooth feature through my hearing aids, I find I'm actually speaking louder than I need to, which is a mod fee. But that's what happens. But, you know, just have some discretion guys. OK, and the good news is, Siv, tonight you're coming through loud and clear. No distortion, Siv.

Have a great week ahead as we go to Red Hill now and say hi to Liz. Hello, Liz. Here's Andrew. Liz. Hi, Liz. Hi, guys. Yeah. Talk to us. Talking me up the wrong way is tailgating. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. So dangerous, yeah. Tell us more, Liz. Yeah, of course.

I'm lighting with someone to ring up and say, potholes. Oh, yes. That's bad to crop up. Yeah, well said, Liz, it's very scary. Thank you. Especially if it's a semi-trailer behind you, you know.

And this happens to all too often the tailgating too. There's a hole on a new 50k in our speed zones around where we live that used to be 60k. I'm in favour of that. I think we all drive too fast. Yes, and they've pulled it back 10k's obviously.

I'm getting so much tailgating going on around our area, because people just can't accept that this is how you have to travel now. This is the speed you go at. Can't you stay in the left-hand lane and let them pass? Well, often it's just a one-lane road. Oh, yeah, I understand. One lane up, one lane down. I do a menu. Andy? Yes, Leanne's there. Hello, Leanne. Hello, Leanne. Hello, everybody. How are you going? Good. Thanks for calling. That's OK. My favourite musical is always has been Greece. Oh, yes.

Yeah, Greece, the big one with the living job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fantastic. It's just so... So good. Ben, have you seen it? Greece. Greece is the word. Greece is the word, but I think I've only seen bits of it, so I don't think I've ever actually sat through and watched the whole movie, so that's what we should. Leanna, have you seen the stage show as well?

I think she's dropped down. Yeah, we've lost to it. Yeah, good advice from Leanne. I think you'd enjoy it, Ben. It's a real fun musical. Nothing there, Andy. But just before we get to that and coming to you, Dorothy, at the moment, I saw the original presentation of Greece here in Melbourne, the stage show. It absolutely bombed. People forget that. Oh, how long ago? No, it was, didn't it? Early 70s. And one of the stars of it was our very own

I see, we used to work with him. And then he secretly, please help me. And then he's charged up. Thank you, yes. You're kidding. All acting their heart, singing their heart out to an audience. Oh, who on the street is that? On a Thursday or a Friday night I was there. Oh. And there would have been no more than 50 or 60 people in the theatre. It was really shocking. And who was originally? Oh, I can't remember. This was 1972 or something. Well, how sad. Yeah. Showbiz can be so sad, can't it, Phil? Yeah, yeah. You've known the terror of defeat and poor ratings every day. Oh, that's a story of my life.

It will be in my book. Dorothy. Dorothy's in Milton. Hello, Dorothy. Please. I'm here. Yes. Yes. Thank you for being on any of the good old days with the crayons. Oh, yeah. That's what we're here for. Yes. Yes. One thing that gets my goat. I'm not a complaint of it. Lately, I've noticed that television programs

Even the series programmes are 60 minutes and that sort of thing. They play quite dominating music over the people's speaking. Oh, yes.

Now, I am 97, but I don't wear hearing aids or anything like that, so I don't have difficulty there. But, you know, the music is usually a sort of piano donging in the front when people are trying to talk seriously. Have you not noticed that? Yeah, I tell you what would improve viewing view to have subtitles. Did you know that on your remote control would be a button where you get the text as well, Dorothy?

That doesn't help me because I'm 97 and I'm blinded by myself. Oh, I understand. Yes. Yes, it is aggravating. Why is the music can drown out the dialogue? Very easily, I agree. It can be very badly balanced. Thanks so much. You sound younger than springtime Dorothy. Thank you so much. Lovely talking to you. I hope we're around for your 100th birthday.

I'm quite sure you will be. God bless. And I'm just throwing you up on that day. Please, we'll celebrate together. Yeah, please, give us a call now. We've got some calls on the line. We've got to take a break in a moment. 11.33, I don't want to remember when Phil Brady and Andrew McLaren's substituting for Simon Owens. And we're taking calls on what gets your goat, what really rubs you up the wrong way. Musicals, you would recommend to our young band who hasn't seen that many musical films. And for me, the silliest bit of fashion you've ever worn.

Okay. And he's looking at me right now. And talking to Rob of Richmond. Good evening, Rob. Good evening, Andrew. Good evening, Caleb.

Couple of things to get on my goat is when people push in, whether it's car parks or a deli line or... Yeah. What about those who trapped... What they thought was going to be a good open lane of traffic and they get trapped by the parked car and they wedge in really quickly. They put the blinker on and, you know, the right blinker at the same time as drive right, turn right, and they just... Oh, I don't like that. That drives me mad.

Thank you. Also, when people judge you and they haven't met you like they treat you like a second class citizen, even though they don't know you. Give me an example, Rob. Well, they might say, let's say you go into a class, you restaurant, you might not be dressed to the nines, but they seem to

I think you don't belong there, perhaps you're picking up a delivery order as opposed to your about to dine there, you know what I mean? Yes, see that's going to happen. A silly mistake. It happens, Rob. And you don't deserve it. Off to Carlton, now. Here's Trevor. Hi, Trevor. Hi, G'day, Phillip. Listen, shows, the Montana one wanted. Oklahoma was my favourite.

What a great musical that is, yes. Ben, have you ever seen Oklahoma? I'm sorry, I've never seen it. I think you'd like it. Yeah? What's it about, out of curiosity? Well, the story's not so great, but the music is fabulous. OK. It's seven, 18, sort of, 19th century, Oklahoma, isn't it? A bit like a Western, actually, Ben. I like this, haven't I? Yeah, I think you'd like the song. OK, good one, Trevor. Thanks for that. Back to menu again.

Yeah, hello. Yeah, my phone's been dropping out lately. Yeah. Have you seen the Greatest Showman? Ben? Have you seen The Greatest Showman? That's the one with Hugh Jackman, isn't it? No, I have not. It is absolutely brilliant, mate. OK. What's the definite watch I've agreed? That is a fantastic show. What was the best bit about The Greatest Showman for you?

The whole lot. It's just brilliant. Is that the one about the story or supposed to be? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, of course, yeah. Really good. Yeah, I've never seen it. Have you seen it, Phil? Yes, I have. What about La La Land? Did you see that Leanne? La La Land? Actually, no. That's said in Hollywood. That's a bit of fun. All right. Thanks for your call, Leanne. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. What actually is rudeness and bad manners?

Oh, yeah, we all agree with that. Too much of that around. OK, Leanne, happy week to you. And the mules with us. Hello, Mel. Hello, Mel. Hello, fellow. It's lovely listening to you and you too. Well, I think I heard you earlier with Grubby, didn't I?

Well, dear, dear, he took to me, and the other day, ring me in the weekend, and I felt so guilty. I thought I'd better do it. Well, and we loved your poem. It was terrific, Merle. I loved it, yes. I sort of can't, you know, come true to me. Well, let me tell you, on Christmas Eve, Simon and I will be at the music bowl, and prior to Carol's, I can't divide the data clock. Maybe you might phone in and do that poem again for us.

Well, thanks Phillip, it's a trilogy. Actually, she finishes up she falls in love with the neighbor that she's trunched and willing to get off her lawn. Anyway, I feel I love the producers, Mel Brooks with Jean Wilder and when they stand up and things.

Bring time for Hitler. I love that. Wonderful. I love the producers. Oh, you do. Oh, it is so funny as well as being musical. Yes. And just Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick in the movie. It's just excellent. That was the remake, I believe, in the...

2000? Who was the gorgeous girl who played the secretary? Was it Madeline? Uma Thurman? Uma Thurman. Yes. And she played it very well. Yes, excellently. I'm a concierge. I love that. I'm just a concierge. I love that. And I love Londonies. Oh, yes, that was fun. Was it hearing Russell Crosing for the first time?

Well, I was working down in Benford Roads till I went on one of the fellas that was playing in London. Who'd you meet? He gave me free tickets. Who'd you meet? I can't remember today now. Hugh Jackman? No? Russell Crowe? No.

Good for you, Merle. And have a lovely week ahead. Do you want any full weeks to Christmas? Yes, I can't believe it. Simon's in college. Hello, Simon. G'day, Simon. Good morning, Andrew, and Phil. Yeah. Oh, yes. Well, I know. I don't know. People talking down me back. Well, yes.

I've been sitting at a table and I'll hear somebody from this whisper and something like that. Can you keep your pen in this to yourself? That's the turn in turn, Rince. I have you hear that?

You must have good hearing, Simon, by the sound of it. Yeah, I guess we're all talked about at times, you know? Behind our backs? Of course we are, yeah. That's human nature. All right, Simon, good talking to you and Colack. Thank you. And who's next? It's Karen from Eltona Meadows. How you going, Kazza? Hi, Karen. Hi. My favorite music will use some kind of music. Yeah, I know that, yeah. But that's me up the wrong way. It's a few things.

And when you were on a train, I was on a train once and I brought two coffee shoes and socks and started cutting his tail now. Oh, how rude is that? Yes. I don't like that. And that was the tram driver. And I was also, when you were on the train I burst and someone got nipping you on a 20-minute trip. And I started sniffing every 15 seconds. You just feel like giving them a tissue.

Yes, fair enough. All right, Karen, your phone is very distorted. I've offered Ben. I've offered every time Karen rings, I've offered to buy her a new phone. But she loves that phone. If we passed the hat around here at 3W, I think every staff member would chip in to get Karen a really good phone. You know, something I have never seen the sound of music. Oh, no, no. Have you said it's Ben? That's one I have, actually. And I don't think showman's seen it either.

No. I just, as never appealed to me by the time the movie came out, I was a rough, butch, young, you know, stud muffin here in Melbourne, and he didn't go and see movies like The Sound of Music. And yet, I see a bit of Julie Andrews in you. You would have made a wonderful mother superior.

I think in profile sometimes, yes. And for some of the clothes I wear, yes. And maybe that's why you haven't seen the movie, because it's too close to home. To be fair, Phil, I can see you singing 16 going on 17 when you're in your youth. More likely 8 or 5, I think.

Now listen, just recap the three topics, please. Well, the musicals that Ben should see, he hasn't seen many film musicals in the course of his young, eager life. For me, and I've had no response to this. Come on now, lift!

Lift listeners, clothes you've worn that are absolutely ridiculous. Probably from the 70s I would imagine, because there was an era of ridiculous clothes. And also things that rub you up the wrong way. Get up your computer. And number one double three six nine three.

And we've been talking about musical movies, and thank you, Justine, for this text. The greatest showman, director, this is the musical, is a good Xavier student, and cue boy, hello, Phil. Maybe you've bumped into him down on High Street Cue. His next movie launches tomorrow in the UK, it's called Better Man. It's Robbie Williams' documentary movie. He is the cousin of Justine, who's texting, thank you Justine.

And his name is Michael Gracie and his parents still live in queue. How about that? Good story. Thanks for that. Now, just ahead of Tony dropping by. Here's Jill in the CBD. Hi, Jill. Hello, Phillip. Hello. And who's your friend again there? Andrew McLaren. Oh, the two gentlemen of Melbourne late night radio. Yes, of course. Yes. Go ahead. I've got a good to hear again, Phil, by the way. Thank you.

Thank you. I have a musical movie suggestion for Young Ben. Now, I haven't heard the whole show, so I hope nobody's suggested this already. Do you remember that fabulous movie, Razzle Dazzle, A Journey Into Dance? Yeah, I think Tony LaMond was in that. It was an Aussie movie, yeah.

It's hilarious. And Barry, Barry Crocker, he was in it too. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. And I reckon Ben would really enjoy that. There you are, Ben. Russell Dazzle. That sounds right up my alley. I'll add it to the list. OK, what else, Jill? Well, as far as musicals go,

Well, I can't recommend anything else he should see, but I do recall one of the comedies that the DJ and people made, any questions for Ben from a year ago, and that's got a lot of music in it, but I wouldn't class for the musical, so it's definitely worth watching.

All right. Good call. Thanks for that, Jill. Made a note. Ben, have all that. Yeah, I've added them all to the list. I'll add them to all my screening recommendations in the next little while. And Ben, I would think movies like that, Australia movies. Sadly, you will find on video at your local op shop. This is where they see all in our dollar each, baby. Yeah.

Or Netflix, they're usually on there. Enter 12 to 12, making a rare reappearance on Remember When Tonight, the star of our show, no doubt about that. Tony McManus, welcome back, Tony. Nice to be here for the second time. Now, I'm intrigued, Andrew, as to why you're actually wearing your beautiful watch on your right hand. Because I am out and proud of leftness.

My leftivity is very active, so be very careful. May I have a look at the aforementioned watch on the right hand. I hate to think what's coming. Yes, there it is.

He's leaning over. Oh my goodness, look at that. Isn't that lovely? It's the band's really nice. Is he going to use the... I thought he was going to use a phrase like, oh, so affordable, Andrew. No, I didn't. And Tony, how many watches are you looking at? I have, I think, now eight, I'm going to say eight. And have you worn them all at different times? And by the way, I received a lovely watch from a Ulyssner.

last week. Do I have to declare that in some sort of forum? I wonder what is it a quite valuable watch? It's just a reasonable pleasant watch, isn't it? Not soliciting watches, I don't want to get on air. Well, don't tell me you're not doing it. If anybody happens to have a couple of old Rolex or Amiga lying around, you know like a watch. No submariners and particularly... Do you have any pockets?

A couple of submariners would be nice. No, I don't feel but I've been looking at them. You need a fob chain for your waistcoat. Yes, very, very elegant look, isn't it? It is, very much, yes. I know a guy who had a paddock fully putch. I've never heard of them at all and this is back in the 70s, he ran a nightclub in Melbourne and he had a very flashy dressy, a paddock fully putch.

And he told me, though, it cost a fortune to have service. Yes. And it was playing up on him constantly. Now, comment please, Tony McManus. This is 47 years ago, he told me. Yes. Yeah. And so then it would have been quite a lot of money. I mean, they still are. It's like PK, which is also very expensive. I mean, you can get up.

you know, the other side of $100,000 for some of those things. Do they play out some of these roles? No, not if they're not if they're well serviced and you do have to look after them. It's a bit like a Rolex. You've got to have that or any of those high-end mechanical watches. You do have to be serviced. It's not like it's running on a battery. It's all so you look at that one there that I'm wearing, see all the mechanics in the back of that. Can you see all that all the mechanics of the movement? Yes. That's it. So that's all going to be serviced at 15.

You just snap that number out, didn't you? I think it's 15. Are any of them digital watches, or are they all cock-faced? No, this is all mechanical. This is a similar to yours film, mechanical. I think you look down on watches that are just what you sort of, arologist, I'm a writer. That's right. Arology.

a relative to scribe as sort of the computers with a face. That's right. It's a rology. Having said that with what we've seen in the last five, ten years where people are using some of those great watches from Samsung and or Apple, they are going back to the idea of having one on their wrist. And so that's now considered a bit of an entry level into the world of a rology. And some people, it's now called double-risking.

Really? So you can have your mechanical watch on one hand, a bit like yourself, and you could have your Apple watch on the other arm. OK, thank you. It's called Double Risting. It's very technical, but I think I follow.

I don't know if I'd bother, really. You'd really have to be very good. Well, because your Apple Watch gives you a lot of information. Oh, I see. You know, like, for the rest of the time. Including the time. Yes, and then the elegance of a beautiful wristwatch. It gives you the time. But also you can gaze at it lovingly when you're on the train. Yes, but I do like yours. Yeah, well, I think a lot of watches have been phased out. People can read the time on their phone. Yes, they can. And so that's a thing. But the idea, it's a bit like a piece of jewelry, obviously, that, you know, women,

But, you know, always look elegant when they wear a watch or wear a ring or wear a bracelet. It's the same thing for those for that matter. I find when women wear a horse. Well, yes, and there is something.

See, look at that. Look at that heel. There's a lovely little mule, isn't it? There you've got... That's a little Jimmy Chue, Jimmy Chue. Andrew. Andrew only wears his to the Christmas part. That's right. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Absolutely nothing. We're going to be here just after midnight. With Nathan Cauchy. Hopefully.

He is so good. He's often still here at 3 o'clock. I know, because I say to him coming up to the 1 o'clock news. I say, do you have to hug the air when he's on with you? Dreadfully. I had a feeling. Dreadfully Andrew. However, it's a great joy. And we get to talk about pets, we get to talk about aviation, we get to talk about news early in the week, a bit of sport and a whole lot of fun. Can you raise the subject of dandruff with him this time? Because I've got a shocking case of it right now. And I love a two-hander. What?

My dandruff, if you talk about everything with him, could you ask him about my dandruff? Show me the skill. No, not. No, I'm embarrassed. You shouldn't be. No, I am. It's not psoriasis, is it? I don't know. People may well be L.A.L.A.L.A.L.A.L.A.L.A.L.A.L.A.L.A.L.A.L.P.A.L.A.L.P.A.L.A.L.P.A.L.A.L.P.A.L.A.L.P.A.L.A.L.P.A.L.A.L.P.A.L.A.L.P.A.L.A.L.P.A.L.A.L.P.A.L.P.A.L.A.L.P.A.L.A.L

Well, what did I just say? Yeah, his name was Alan Pitcher. Hard to believe. He was an Irish boy. Alan Pitcher. No, you've just made that up. Isn't that amazing? We gave him a very bad time. And was he a friend of Anne Chauvie? The great Alan Lapin was there, and he had it severely when I was working. Oh, gosh. Shout out to Simon, who's unwell, if you will. Yeah, please do. I love you, Simon. We look forward to you coming back onto the wireless soon.

And you'll be with us right after the midnight news. See you there. And your special guests will be Nathan Cox. Thanks for dropping by twice, Tony. I love to spend each Sunday with you as a friend of friend. I'm sorry it's through. I'm telling you just how I feel.

I hope you feel that way too. Let's make a date for next Sunday night. I'm here to stay. It will be my delight to sing again, bring again the things you want me to.

I love to spend each Sunday with

Good night, good night, until we meet again. Adios, o'er I walk, I'll be the same, children, and though it's always sweet sorrow too hard. You know you'll always remain in my heart.

Good night, sleep tight, and there's a dream to you. Here's a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true. And now, till we meet again, what else or of what I'll be to say?

Andy, I didn't hear you singing along to the good night song. It was only because I was just getting a little emotional because it's the end and I must part and we must part. I must thank you. Andy McLaren, Tony McManus, Rick Mill, Bill Dove, Kevin Trask,

Along with Ben Davidson in the control room and in the newsroom, Christie Sullivan has been a supernite and we look forward to hearing you again later in the week. Yes, that's right. With the lads for the Windsor Nutcat. Oh, that'll be superbly. It's always good fun. And in the meantime, wishing Simon the best of health for a quick recovery. Oh, yes, please, Simon.

And it was like to be sick, we all do it, but you'll get through it. Here's our star of the night, Tony McManus with Nathan Kosh coming along after the news. Good night, sleep tight, and pleasant dreams to you. Here's a wish and a prayer every dream comes true. And now till we meet again,

For a walk, I'll be the same Good night!
