  Speaker 1: But no year bigger than this one. Another record broken,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and I don't think anybody was more excited than little
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: telethon star Aidan. The suspense is building. Yes!
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: $ 5 million! $ 5 million! $ 5 million! Oh my goodness. Let's
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: see what that does to the total. $ 101 million. Remarkable, WA.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: You are the absolute best.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I think Hayden already knew. He'd already done the maths
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: in his head.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Because he did say, can we bring it up on
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the screen?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: He said it. He knew it. $ 101 million.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Wow. Well done, WA. Well done.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: We've been saying for about 10 years now, how can
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: it be beaten? How can it be beaten every year?
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: It's just insane. Oh, there's always a way. But $ 101 million.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Next year will be telethon number 60. That's going to
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: be incredible. What are they going to do then?
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It's been around longer than us.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, I got over the line with Kerry Stokes
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: donating $ 5 million and then us donating $ 18 million. Well,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the WA government.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Government did.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: But that is us. That is us. So we donated
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: $ 18 million.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I do believe we contributed to that. And look, so
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: many primary schools all around the state got together. They've
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: been doing it for months. They've been getting, you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: selling stuff, you know, raffles, all that kind of stuff
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to raise money. I mean, Mindari Primary School.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: $ 32, 000.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Well done. Over $ 32, 000 they raised.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, people pivot, don't they? I remember the days
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: when Channel 7 was out at Intuit Hill there. Oh,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I remember. And all the kids would bring their brick boxes.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: They're brick full of money and we'd build the telethon
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: brick and over the course of the weekend we'd build
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: that wall outside, the telethon brick wall. But kids don't
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: really go door to door these days so much.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: No, it's a little bit different. No one's got any coins.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: No one's got any coins and no one wants their
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: kids roaming around. Roaming around going to random doors asking
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: for money.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Could you just tap and go, please?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, exactly. So, you know, kids, they've pivoted with
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the way they raise money in schools, but obviously still
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: everyone doing their bit. Well done, everybody.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Well done, WA. Again, we've done it. Another record broken
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: just when we think that it can't be done.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Well done, Aidan.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, Aidan, best host ever. V-O-G, best on Grouch. Yeah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Over, just over 101 million. That's incredible. Well done, WA.
