Speaker 2: Wife Kate Richie.

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 3: The thing is, I mean, now that you're in the studio,

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: you have to call me by my full name, and

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 3: that's a bit like when we're on set. I made

13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 3: you address me by my name. I think it was Rebecca,

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: but we were basically called We were just representing kind

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: of all mums and all dads. So even in the show,

16
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: the scripts would say, mum.

17
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: Called Role of a Lifetime. Can you give us a

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: bit of a basic synopsis of it please.

19
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: It's one big advertisement for procreation, so it's Kate and

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: I being powered and just telling everyone how great it

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: is by acting out ordinary parenting scenario.

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 3: You're right, I don't know about that. I think I

23
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: don't think it's an advertisement for contrace. I know, it's

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: kind of hard to explain because it's a genre bending idea.

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: So it's part documentary and part sitcom drama, and so

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: Nas and I switch between the two. So sometimes we're

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: playing husband and wife and sometimes we're playing Kate Naz

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: out in the field talking to experts. Do you know

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: who is on the show. It's our resident expert, the

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: wonderful Maggie Den we love who we have had on

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: this show and she is go to expert on basically everything,

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: and it'll be on our TV screens in the new year.

33
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: It was fun to do and I think it's gonna

34
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: be fun to watch because there was like this element

35
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: where we were like a sidcom family and you know,

36
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm a new actor. A lot of people are like,

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: why were you acting, like because I lied him my

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: Wikipedia page and I but Kate, it's a proper actor,

39
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: like you may have seen it. And the thing in

40
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: middle of scenes, we'll be talking like were husband and wife,

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: and she'd be looking at me like you know what, honey,

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: you can do this, and genuinely in those moments, I

43
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: was like, I think, does she like me? And then

44
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: the director would be like cut and then she goes

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: straight back to Ice Queen, like just typical, and it was.

46
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 4: You were lost in the moment now, I was.

47
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: Well, I was just conflicting, you know what this is.

48
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: This is we're acting. This is a television show.

49
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: You don't need to know.

50
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 3: He didn't really know the protocol of on set and

51
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 3: things like that, and and he wander up one day.

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 3: I think I went back to my dressing room and

53
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: he was just really nearly sitting in there eating my snacks.

54
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: I thought, oh, I got the memo about how this.

55
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: Works, my friend.

56
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't sure where that sentence was going.

57
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 4: Can I bring something up? Because when she started here

58
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 4: on the radio show, there was a lot of I'll

59
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 4: let you know who's boss now. Oh yeah, so can

60
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 4: you confirm because I heard a rumor that to reinforce

61
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 4: who was in charge of this show and who the

62
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 4: star was, she turned up to set one day with

63
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 4: cupcakes with her own face on them.

64
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: Not even like and everyone was like, haha, does so funny,

65
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: And she was like, well you and then she'd had.

66
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 3: Made no, I didn't do that, you know this nas

67
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: it was it was actually my birthday, you know what,

68
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: the most embarrassing thing is because I was going straight

69
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 3: from radio. I got the donuts with my face on them,

70
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: Happy Birthday Cake, went straight to set. Later in the day,

71
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 3: I realized the lighting director had spent the whole day

72
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 3: thinking that I turn up to set with treats for

73
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: the crew with someone we don't know that you did.

74
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, this is cute and how weird. He's

75
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: probably text his wife and said what a prima donna

76
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: I am.

77
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: It was just she corrected everybody, and then we realized

78
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: this is it's a birth. The strange thing was the

79
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: next day she did the same thing. Shirts.

80
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: You know, you talk about me being an actor, nas

81
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: is there we're doing a sitcom. I felt completely You know,

82
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: I don't do comedy.

83
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: No, you don't. You definitely don't. Sometimes you can be funny, just.

84
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: On the parent thing as well. Now is it fair?

85
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,800
