00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: The City and with Kate ki podcast.

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Educate podcast. Welcome to the studio, Jess

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: and Lizzie.

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Maybe you thought we'd for the last episode that maybe

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Jess and I could be educated a bit on you,

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: things about you, and the audience would love to be

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: educated on things about Kate.

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: Is this just leading into another session of bullying me

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: about collecting ttail?

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 3: No, we didn't actually get on one t tail question.

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 3: At the end of last We asked a few questions.

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 3: It's a bit like a Reddit Ask me anything. Have

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: you seen one of those? You go on Reddit, an

14
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 3: expert in their field kind of comes in and you

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 3: can ask any question.

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: I did see it, and I shared the post on

17
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: my own socials, and then I realized that it was

18
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: making me feel a little bit nervous. So the questions

19
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: that we do, well, I haven't seen them, but have

20
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: you been through them with a fine tooth comb?

21
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

22
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 4: Actually really lovely. But like the legal.

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: Department signed off on most of them, so I think

24
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: that's the most important.

25
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: Have they signed off on my answers?

26
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 4: Well, that's a good question.

27
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: You kick us off with maybe the most asked question

28
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 3: out of all of them.

29
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 4: What do you think it might be about.

30
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: Home and Away?

31
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 3: No, it's what is your brass size?

32
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 4: Of course it was Home and Away? What is it? Close?

33
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: Second, though, the people of social media want to know,

34
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: would you ever go back on Home and Away again

35
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: if you were invited again?

36
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: Because I did go back when I remember wrapped up

37
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: at the end of two thousand and.

38
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 4: Eight, made us watch that when you started.

39
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: Now I did.

40
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you sat us all down and locked us in

41
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: a room.

42
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: Please don't say.

43
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: That I did go back for a guest in twenty thirteen.

44
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: I think I was back there for about five or

45
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: six weeks.

46
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 4: That's pretty good.

47
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: I can't believe that was eleven years ago. I don't know.

48
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: What I do know is that Home and Away is

49
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: an amazing place to work, and I had a great

50
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: time there, and I even I did enjoy going back

51
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: those years later. But I don't know. It'd have to

52
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: take something pretty special, like I think mister Stewart would

53
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: have to invite Sally back to the Bay to warrant

54
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: visiting again. Because the thing is, some of it's fine

55
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: without Sally. You know, they've survived for all these years

56
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: without her. What I miss is the working on I

57
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: would go back to work on set and work consistently

58
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: and actually flex that kind of muscle in me. What

59
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: I do think about going back is and I think

60
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: what I realized when I went back in twenty thirteen,

61
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: And it's a bit like an old relationship, and you know,

62
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: an old boyfriend or lover or you know that you

63
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: have these very very fond memories of, and you continue

64
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: to have fond memories of and you start to forget

65
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: why you left in the first place. And I didn't

66
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 2: leave because I was having a bad time. It was

67
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: a coming of age kind of thing. I was almost

68
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: thirty years old. It was time to go and work

69
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: out who I was without this thing. But then as

70
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: time goes on, you miss things because the memories of

71
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: why you made the decision fade. You think, of course,

72
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: I should go back. But then when you go back,

73
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: you realize that you've moved into a different part of

74
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: your life. Yeah, it's almost as soon as you're back

75
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: with the boyfriend, you wonder why on earth? But what

76
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: are you doing back here? I know what this is.

77
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: And don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean I don't

78
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: love the show. Wouldn't go back at some point don't

79
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: like it always has. It's such a big part of me,

80
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: but that was just one chapter of my life. And

81
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I get to work with you guys.

82
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 4: Now and the rest of them.

83
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: I imagine it's a little bit like going back to

84
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: high school, Like you have all these fond memories and everything,

85
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: but then you get back in there and it's like

86
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 3: you're still.

87
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: Gonna do all the work of the classes.

88
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: And everything like that, and it's like the same people,

89
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: but you know that there was a time you kind

90
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: of count down to it.

91
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: Like you hit your well and then you move on

92
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,559
Speaker 4: for a reason once you're done with school.

93
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: Exactly, and there was a time and a place for that,

94
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: just like for all of us when you look back

95
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: on a job. It taught you particular things, and it

96
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: was important for me to do other things. But in

97
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: saying that, it's such a great place and I get

98
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: I get really excited when I meet the new, like

99
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: the younger if I've been invited back to Raise eightieth,

100
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: for example, and you see the younger actors now working

101
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: on the show, and of course you see the lens

102
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: and the aids and the people that are still there. Understandably,

103
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: but it's so nice to see those young actors and think,

104
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, I just hope they're having the great time.

105
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 4: That I had same experience.

106
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's such a special. It's a bit like

107
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: when you see kids at school now and you want

108
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: to say to them and they don't believe you when

109
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: you say, you say, you make the most of this

110
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: because they are the best years of your life. That's

111
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: the way I feel when I see the youngist now.

112
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 4: Back to when I was at school, it'd be like,

113
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 4: you don't hey bills right now?

114
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, like so can I you've done?

115
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll give you an hour for lunch.

116
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's amazing. This kind of feeds into the next question.

117
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 3: Kate has may seen any episodes of Home and Away?

118
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: Uh?

119
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: You seen any bits and pieces? Like does she know

120
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 4: that you.

121
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: Were on it?

122
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: Yes, she does. She knows that I grew up on

123
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: a television show, and she knows that it's that it

124
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: was called Home and Away. She's she started piecing things

125
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: together because I guess the oldest she got. When people

126
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: have approached me in the street, all they've said, you know,

127
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 2: they'd come up to me and bullies and we'd have

128
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: a photo and she would sometimes say to me, who,

129
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: who's that? Do you know? How do you know that person?

130
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 2: And I would say, I don't know that person. So

131
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: I had to start explaining to her why people were

132
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: approaching me even though I didn't know them, so that

133
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: she got the concept of stranger danger. And I wasn't

134
00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: just allowing people into my space that anyway. It's another

135
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: whole conversation altogether. But she's seen little bits and pieces

136
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: and more clips of me as a kid. Yeah, I

137
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: certainly haven't had her sit down and watch the whole catalog,

138
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: but I must say it's quite strung. It Well, it's

139
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: strange because like it doesn't it just doesn't mean any

140
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean anything. And I actually and I only

141
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: did it again the other night when she was a

142
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 2: bit tired and emotional at bedtime. When she was little,

143
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: I would sing her a lullaby to put her to sleep,

144
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 2: but the song was the home and Away theme song.

145
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: And so now of a night, and even like three

146
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: nights ago, she said to me, can you sing me

147
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: a nice song to help me go to sleep? Mummy?

148
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: Can you sing the home and Away song? And for

149
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 2: her it has nothing to do with home and Away.

150
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: It's just the lullaby that Mum used to sing me.

151
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: I've got actually little recordings of us doing it when

152
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: we were younger. And I take a deep breath and

153
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: I go, you know we belong to.

154
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 4: That's actually a very.

155
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: Nice It's a beautiful lullaby, and it's it's kind of

156
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: nice because I'm lying there, I'm putting my beautiful little

157
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: Bubba to sleep, who is now older than I was

158
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: when I started on the show. But there's a little

159
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: moment of feeling connected to something that was such a

160
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: big part of my life as a kid too.

161
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, how full circle? Don't know what?

162
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: I love that she doesn't know anything about it. It's

163
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: like what do we what do we know about our

164
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: parents before we were born? Nothing.

165
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 4: It's it's a nice thought to think that.

166
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: You get the Home and Away theme song, which is

167
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: you know we belong together, the beautiful lyrics.

168
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 4: Imagine if Jennifer Adison had had kids, life was gonna

169
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: go this way. Oh my god.

170
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: You never get to sleep.

171
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 4: No jump scared. This is the fit with Cape Ridgie podcast.

172
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: Well, now looking past Home and Away and looking forward

173
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: to where you are now? The next question is is

174
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: it fun working with fits in.

175
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 3: Which one of them submitted it, Lizzie, I can't tell

176
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: you that es.

177
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: Do I have to answer them as a duo? Do

178
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: I have to do I separate them? No?

179
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 4: Please give them the identity. Do I prefer one who's funny.

180
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: One over the well? I will never be answering. I mean,

181
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: who's funny and me? Of course it's funny. I love

182
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: working with the boys, I really, I really do. And

183
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: I have to say that the opportunity to join Brecky

184
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: for like lots of reasons has just been amazing. And

185
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: the guys are great to work with, but it's the

186
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: it's the whole team that makes it wonderful. I get

187
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: really I get really self conscious when because it always

188
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: sounds really insincere, but I mean it truly, it's it's

189
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 2: so warm. They couldn't be more different people. Yeah, but

190
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's the whole thing. The whole thing works.

191
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: It's like totally and I think the one thing I've noticed,

192
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: because obviously I'm in here in the studio with you

193
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: guys pressing.

194
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 4: The buttons, it's like for me, if ever I have

195
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 4: a sick day or if.

196
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: I'm off and I put the show on it's so

197
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: weird to me just to hear the on air breaks

198
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: because so much of the heart and soul of the

199
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: show is the team and everyone off air and what

200
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: happens behind the scenes and everything. Yes, and I think

201
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: you're right, Kate in that you have been sort of

202
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: welcomed in with a big, warm hug, and you have

203
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 3: such a place in the show, and everyone's so thrilled

204
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: and happy you're here, and you do such a wonderful job.

205
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: But it's just, yeah, it.

206
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 3: Sounds great on air, but off air it's such a

207
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 3: beautiful environment.

208
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: It is.

209
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 2: It's a great Yeah. I don't think until this point

210
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 2: because and without wanting to go without wanting to reference

211
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 2: home and Away again, Home and Away and working on

212
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: a show like that is like some little warm cocoon, right,

213
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: And it is like a family. And I don't think

214
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 2: I've felt that again until coming in here. And maybe

215
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 2: it's like the period of my life and working with

216
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: you know, dads of young kids, and it just feels

217
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: like we've got we're all so different, but we've all

218
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: got so much in common, and I guess maybe that's

219
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: what makes the show great. So the answer is yes, Yeah,

220
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: And I'm still the funnier one.

221
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: Of course, but actually, of course, yeah, it's actually not

222
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: even a.

223
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: Question, you know what. We can say that because we

224
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: know that neither of them are going to listen to

225
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: that podcast.

226
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 4: No spot on spot on.

227
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: Okay, well, whip through a few of these what's your

228
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 3: dream acting role? Is there anything you've seen and you're like, Oh.

229
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 4: I wish I was in that?

230
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. I think I'm good at playing

231
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: members of families and mums and stuff like that.

232
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: Do you know what?

233
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: I really would like a role where it's like a

234
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 2: it's it's kind of dire, do you know what I mean?

235
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to be so happy you go lucky, yes,

236
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: or something to sit my teeth into a bit.

237
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 4: Okay, love that.

238
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: Someone wants to know how did you get to start

239
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: writing books?

240
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: Well, the first book I wrote, I just Couldn't Wait

241
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: to Meet You was came. It came out of a

242
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: little bit of laziness because I wrote it when I

243
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: was on maternity leave from the Drive Show and I

244
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: knew that I wouldn't complete May's baby book. You know

245
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: the ones where you write, oh yeah you said, or

246
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: I can't wait to meet you and I started to

247
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: write a little bit of a letter to her that

248
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: I thought like, I'll stick that in a book, and

249
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: I realized, maybe this is a book. So if you're listening, May,

250
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: I may not have completed your baby book, but I

251
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: wrote you a book and I had it printed. So

252
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 2: that's kind of how it's how it started. But I've

253
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: always written, you know, got lots of little writings at home,

254
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: but they just haven't they're not they haven't made it

255
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 2: to print.

256
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: Do you know that I went to my friend Annie's

257
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: house the other day who's just had her second baby,

258
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: beautiful little Oliver, and she said that her first baby, Zoe,

259
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: has been bringing a book over to her to read,

260
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 3: like while Oliver's been sitting there. And she said that

261
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 3: she's been reading it and it wasn't until like the

262
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 3: fourth time that she flipped it over that she saw

263
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 3: that it was your book. She hadn't even registered, and

264
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: she said, can you please pass on that it's such

265
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 3: a beautiful story and they're really loving it at the

266
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: moment with new baby Oliver. Okay, okay, let's go jump

267
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: back to radio on this question, what are you most

268
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 3: proud about having learned in radio?

269
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 4: Because let's be honest, You've got new skills as of

270
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 4: the past two years.

271
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 3: You're doing a lot of the ford, announcing back, announcing

272
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: the songs, You're doing teasers.

273
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 4: You didn't really do that in some of the other

274
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 4: on air rolls you had. Is that maybe what you're

275
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: most proud of.

276
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: I think so like I've had to step up a bit.

277
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: I can even introduce Arianna Grande if you ask me,

278
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: you know.

279
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 4: Or they'll not flown we did say.

280
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: I'm still I'm still working on it. Look, I think

281
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 2: with radio, because every day is so different, you'll never

282
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: know everything. But I think what I do know now

283
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: and what I've learned here doing the Drive Show is

284
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: like more of the foundation stuff, like I've always been

285
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: able to tell a story. You can't shut me up.

286
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: This is obvious, But it's the stuff that is the

287
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 2: glue of the show and more of the workings and

288
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: the technicalities that I'm actually really proud of that I've

289
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: picked up over the last couple of years because I've

290
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: had to put it into practice.

291
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 3: And what else, Although something I've learned about radio the

292
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: past year and a half with Kate here is don't

293
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: give her a commix one morning, I said to Kate,

294
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: you have been sounding so good for denouncing the songs,

295
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 3: because obviously I fire them off.

296
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: There's a little.

297
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: Countdown timer that goes so as Kate's talking, she's watching

298
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 3: the song lyrics about to get closer and closer. It's

299
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 3: called hitting the post. And she did such a good

300
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: job one morning, like she just absolutely nailed it. And

301
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 3: then I said, you were fantastic. And then I think

302
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: it was the next one you messed it up. And

303
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: then he said you went home and you thought about

304
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 3: it all day, and he said, I probably can't have

305
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 3: a compliment because if I do a good job, please

306
00:13:59,200 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 3: don't tell me.

307
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 4: Are you trying it is?

308
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 2: It's like I don't I don't like yeah, so and

309
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: and a bit of behind the scenes on those first

310
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: few times that I actually did introduce a song or

311
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: kind of back a back Hounds. Once you couldn't hear

312
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: me anymore, I was like high fiving myself, squealing, lying

313
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: on the floor, because as much as people might think

314
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: you just know that stuff, you don't until you do it.

315
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: And it's such a proud you know, you can teach

316
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: an old dog new tricks.

317
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: And well we might end with this one. But if

318
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: you weren't in the media or acting or doing anything

319
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: like that, what would you be doing or what would

320
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: you have liked to have done. Was there something that

321
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: you wanted to be when you were growing up or

322
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: something you thought about that wasn't necessarily in this industry.

323
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: I mean, ideally I'd just win the lotto and go

324
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: and live in the country and love collect details and

325
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: make jam And I'm not even joking. Yes, but my

326
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: dad worked the police force, so there was a moment

327
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: where I thought, if I left home and away and

328
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: I had to kind of go and do something that

329
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: wasn't attend university, but I was, you know, I'd go

330
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: to the academy and maybe i'd be a police woman

331
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: sergeant rich. Yeah, I think i'd be quite good. I

332
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: think i'd work with kids and oh yeah, families and look,

333
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know. But I went to an

334
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: AG school, so I my options were I would have

335
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: liked to have done vet science or I really wanted

336
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: to do architecture, and both of those would have required

337
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: very high trs, So I'm not sure. Maybe I would

338
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: have got a better tear had been at school full time,

339
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: but those were my those were my interests. I love

340
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: that because, yeah, I started drawing the magic far away

341
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: tree rooms when I was little, and then would draw

342
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: houses that I wanted my family in Campbelltown to like

343
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: upgrade too. So I think that's the architecture theme I love.

344
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 3: So sort of like you did wrap up Home and

345
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: Away when you were what like say twenty or something,

346
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: and you went and became a cop. Every time you

347
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: get a cool all right, just heading to a home

348
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: and away invasion.

349
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 4: Like it's just a home invasion. We tell you this

350
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: every time, Richie.

351
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: No one would believe me. They think I was the

352
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: stripper all this. It's like, you're not a real cop,

353
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 2: you're an actor.

354
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 4: Oh, very funny.

355
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,120

368
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: was all. They were all questions that people had written
