• 0:08
  Speaker 2: a year since we spoke.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Have you just recently had another kid? Is that right?
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Literally, this house is so full and we've just
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: had a newborn. She's ten eleven weeks old. Literally, I thought,
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: I'm ready for this, fifty one. I feel as young,
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: got the energy, I'll go in the gym. Nothing prepared
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: me for lack of sleep. You feel bad saying it
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: because obviously, no matter how tired I my wife's going
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: to be a lot tighter because she's breastfeeding.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: So I can't even complain that.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I thought, well, you can complain to us. This is
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: a safe space. We won't say a word. We're all
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the way on the other side of the world.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: You're right, no one will here.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: This won't get back to your lovely wife. What do
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: they think? What do they think? You know?
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Have they seen some of the kids, the older ones
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: seen dead on the beach in Thailand and his jeans
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: swimming in the Mysterious Girl music video.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: I mean they're as confused as I am. And most
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: people ask why the hell I wore jeans for in
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: the water. I still don't have an answer for that.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: But that was thirty years ago.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Now, she was that city way to make us feel older.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: That water safety in New Zealand did not approve of
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: those jeans in that beach either, by the way. And
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: did you have to wander around and soggy jeans for
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: the remainder of the day because I imagine there were
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: spear peas lying around.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm going to be honest with you. This
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: is this is the most in depth I've ever been
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: in this subject. This was a real thing. You know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: I walked around my jeets. Have you ever had that
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: thing where you're walking around all day and you're kind
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: of just your muggy and there's sad Chafing.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Chafing would have come and to play this.
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well yeah, did I don't feel comfortable with you
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: muddying the image of that music video with.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Chafing, John, Yeah, I don't want to think about Chafing.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Well, here's something about that video. The girl in the
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: video was her name was Champagne. So her name was
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Champagne and she was a model in Thailand and she
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: was half Swiss and half tight and I met her
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: three days before the video. Literally, I was like a
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: lost puppy. We just started dating before the video. Like
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: literally it was instant. We just started dating instantly, which
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: just crazy. And we stayed together about a year and
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: a half after that video.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Did you It's a quick turnaround three days boom, you're dating,
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: you're filming music videos, you're chafing.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: It's all got what we're champagne nowadays?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Apparently she's still I mean she was one of the
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: one of the big models in Thailand back then. I
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: don't know, I've never I should look her up, actually,
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: can we.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Look her off?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you should.
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: As you.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Said, your left kid, don't be tired, don't be catching
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: up with Easters now. Looking back, as you say, the nineties,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: you became a mega star around the world. You know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the song was massive and you know in New Zealand
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: it was huge. But then you kind of you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: it was quite quite a lot for you, which I
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: mentioned to go through. You still went through a sort
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: of breakdown mentally, Is that right?
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Yes, I'll see what happened Like in the nineties, this
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: song was huge, but what that actually did was that
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: set me on this great path where I worked with
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Montel Jordan Coolio, the Fujis literally talk about name dropping.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Monteal Jordan was the one that saw the video and
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: he said, I need you out in America, and I
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: went out there and I worked with all these incredible artists,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: and then I got in the studio with the Fujis.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I'm getting to the point of what you're asking, but
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to name a couple of people. I love it.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Keep going and.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting in the studio this is how it was
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: back then in.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: New York with the Fujis, and they stopped the session
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: halfway through because this guy walks in. I'm like, really
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: keen to get this session done. And he comes in
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: and they stop the session. He hugs us all and
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: then he sits there right next to me and we
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: listened to his whole entire album and I didn't know
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: who he was. I didn't know anything, and this was
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: an album that was about to drop. Every time he
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: looked at me, I was nodding my head as I pa,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: I'm loving this. And every time he was looking away,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking, come on, you know, I want.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: To get the session now.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: How much I regret this because if I had known
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: who was sitting next to me.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Come along. Story short. We finished the session.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: He was a lovely guy, gave us all a hug,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: We talked for ages, he left, got on with the session.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Two months later, I'm driving in the car in Los Angeles,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: roof down and his song comes on the radio and
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: it was It's a hard knock Life.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Was jay Z that was in that studio with us.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: That's one of my biggest regrets toff.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: What if it happened to that jay Z guy?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Do you know? And I thought to myself that what's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the kind of thing we were doing?
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: We were amongst every bode But what with that came
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: this sort of I don't know, the pressure wasn't that
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: that was a joy. That was me feeling on top
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: of the world. The pressure would have come from way back.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I can only blame myself. I wanted it so bad.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: But I think at sixteen, when you're made to go
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: to college and your made to go to university and
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: you're thrown in an industry, that's amazing. But it's the
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: most eye opening experience everything I could have ever dreamed of.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: But something happened later on, I think all the stuff.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: That bottled up has been bullied.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: As a kid because we moved to this part of
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Australia on the Gold Coast, there was literally I don't
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: think there were any other ethnics at the time. I
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: remember being the only Greek family. I'm sure there were
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: other Greek families, but in our school, we were the
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: only Ethnics, and it was It was pretty brutal back then,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: but obviously now Australia is so multicultural. Right at the peak,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: when everything was at the absolute peak, I just had
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: this horrific breakdown. Didn't know where it came from, but
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: years and years of therapy and medication kind of got
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: to a lot of a lot of the root of
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: the problem. And it was to do with a lot
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: of things when I was really young, So you know what,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: loads of millions of people go through this all the time,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: so I was nobody special. It's just that it just
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: happened at the worst time because I was riding so
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: high at the time.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: You know when.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: People sort of disappeared for a while and you think, Okay,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: they disappeared because no one's buying their music anymore or whatever.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: But I left at a time when we were selling
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: out arenas out. It was huge and I don't regret
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: it because going through that breakdown meant I could come
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: out the other end and now be, you know, look
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: at it through a different lens, and be so grateful
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: and so happy with everything I've got and everything I've
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: ever had. But they were they were incredible days, mate,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: really incredible days.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: So you but you bowed out at the peak of
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: your career, is that what you're saying?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Adita didn't even know.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: So I had a manager in the UK and I said,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I just want to go home and see mom and dad,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: because I was about twenty six, twenty seven, and I said, look,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I've been going since sixteen and it was NonStop. You know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: once you start in that industry, it's go, go, go,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: go go. And but really I was having a breakdown,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: but I didn't tell her, and she said, how long
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: are you going to go back for? I said three months,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: and that three months turned to three and a half year.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: It is Meanwhile, I would.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Like I check myself in psychiatric wards in New York.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: I just didn't know what was wrong with me. It's
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: not like now you can talk about mental health that's.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: Kind of the same. I think even these days, like
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: Justin Bieber and Shaw Mindy's have canceled tours and stuff,
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: and I think people find it really hard to understand
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: because from the outside, super famous, rich, like everyone thinks
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: you've got it all, but it's just not the case.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I've realized this, and it's taken me a long time
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: to realize this, and now I'll never forget it. If
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: you do not have the right frame of mind, if
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: you're not happy mentally, nothing nothing will make you happy.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: None of it can make you happy. If you're not
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: feeling right mentally, you know, to get that back, to
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: get that feeling, you know, life kind of back on track,
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: meant that I just everything else was a bonus, you know.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Now when I tour, Now, when I do things, it's
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: a bonus. I don't look at it like I need
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: to be number one, I need to do this. It's
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: much more like, thank God, I've still got my legs
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: and I can take that still.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Do you know crazy?
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Well, what's well, then you've just told us a crazy
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: story from a crazy story. You just told you it
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: was a crazy story. That's crazy.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: You want to hear another one.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I'll take it back.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: This one's a different kind of crazy Backstreet boys right now.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Back in the day in the nineties when they came
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: to England, they were unknown and they would turn up
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: with these really cool leather jackets with Backstreet Boys on there,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: and they looked the part. And we end up we're
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: in the same hotel, and because we're mates, we say,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: oh yeah, let's go, let's go do the gym.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the gym, and we'll go in the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: steam room and whatever.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: But in Europe, but I don't know if you know this,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: it's not guys and girls separated. Everyone's together and everyone's naked.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Oh we walked in and we're all wearing towels and
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: short and everybody's naked and it's massive.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: It was a steam room.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: But we're all looking at each other going, they're all
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: looking at us like we're straight all right, So come on,
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: I'm getting rid of the towel, George a go on,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: everything's gone. Some of the boys did, some of the
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: boys didn't. I can't say who didn't. You look, we
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: took the steam room outside. We'd open the door, My
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: brother Danny had opened the door. We'd run out of
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: the snow because it was proper snow. So we'd go
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: from the steam room in the snow, naked me and
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: the Backstreet Boys. But that's I think that kind of
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: tops a little bit at the other story.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Hey, and a naked steam room with the back Street
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Boys in Europe and free loving Europe.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: That's a craziest story. Nineties get a person's dream, isn't it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: And now if you come back and say jay Z
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: was naked on the couch and that's the only.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Thing I went back to my hotel and jay Z's dig.
• 9:45

• 10:01
  Speaker 3: to be our celebrity friends.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: You know what, I will say, My dream is to
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: come back and tour New Zealand and I'm going to
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: do it because it nearly happened five years ago. I'm
• 10:10
