For instance, the awards were 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.040 finished at ten pm on the dot.

There's something 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:36.080 about like getting ready with you for an event that 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:41.039 is just so I don't know, sentimental, like fun. It's 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.680 like I've always wished that I had that, like to 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.080 do with a sibling or like someone, you know, like 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.560 a partner, like get ready, you know, like it's like 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.080 the whole thing of like get ready for a ball. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.360 I didn't really get to experience when I was young 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.240 because normally if I go to events, it's by myself. Yeah, 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.120 so this was just so lovely. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.400 I know, we had such a good lead up, you know, 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.400 to the night as well, like the energy was there. 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.520 It was good vibes from the start until that bitch 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.600 at the end. Okay, let's get into that a little 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.720 bit later on, so hang on for that. But let 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.239 me ask you, Like it was your first ACRA Awards. 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:13.800 I know that when we walked into the room and 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.240 you saw how big this was at the rehearsal, You're like, 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:17.959 this is a big moment. 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.520 My asshole like literally shrunk. 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.760 I know, clenching. 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:23.160 I was clenching. 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.200 Yea, your dress was like stuck dead knocking. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.320 I think we're still a bit on our high and 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:31.920 so just bear with us. 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.320 But I mean I was really proud to do it 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.720 with you, Like I think that representing obviously our community, 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.320 but just being ourselves on stage. We were having our 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.880 little banter moments, you know, and I feel like we 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.440 represented well. We did good. 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.240 Yeah, I mean there was very little blackfellows in the room. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.960 I feel like we were the only two plus Baker 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.760 Boy who performed and maybe like an old few, but 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.760 I'm not too sure because I didn't know whether. 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:54.280 I didn't see anyone. 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.720 I didn't see anyone, So you know what, in those moments, 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.120 you just got to like spee staunch power on and 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.440 just like you know, hold hold the space the room did. 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.120 Your first time presenting in terms of at an awards ceremony, 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.160 what did you feel like was the highlight for you? 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.519 I mean that part was like the nerve wracking part 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.040 to be found right at the end, right at the end. 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.959 I think, you know, they could have actually timed it 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.519 a little bit better. So Lizzie, next year, don't put 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:20.800 on us. 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.840 He grab your notepad. Listen, we got some note. 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.680 Don't put us on last, like put the music last. 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.119 The music has to be lost. 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.799 But yeah, the last performance should really end the evening. 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.000 So then you go into that a party and pumps. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.240 Yeah. Well it was hard to get the room back 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.400 after that moment. But Richard Wilkins stepped in, you know, 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.240 he introduced us at the start, and I think he 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.080 did the best job he could. Everyone was on their 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.480 feet dancing for the screaming jets, So it's like at 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.400 that point in the night, nobody wants to sit back 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.480 down and listen. But you know, we did the best 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.560 we could, and I think we did a really really 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:50.080 good job. 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.200 I really feel like we had some good feedback. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.880 Yeah, good feedback. We haven't been fired we haven't been fired. 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.360 Even though I was a little bit rogue. Yes, I 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:58.760 went right, guys, I went. 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.920 Row you know, like when I tell you he went rogue, 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.640 he went fucking rogue. 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:07.200 And you know what, I fucking enjoy it. 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.040 You know what. And I think you are so good 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:13.440 at challenging like the status quo, you know, like the norms, 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.920 and I think that's the best thing. Maybe I'm a 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.440 little bit more like frigid, that. 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:24.240 Is something that you're not, but Babe, like you're the 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.240 calm to my storm, and you know, I think that 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.240 we balance each other out so well, especially on that 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.880 stage where you're saying, do not do the naughty jokes 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.080 and she's whispering in my ear while we're on stage, 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.080 She's like during the jokes, and I was. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.960 Like, in the joke, guys, I feel like we should 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.200 pretend that we like present it. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:39.279 Okay, let's do the opening. 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.000 Okay, So the opening is like pretty much madage it 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.640 and acknowledgment. He did a beautiful acknowledgment, by the way, 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.040 and I think Nova should be absolutely proud of you 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.760 for that. And I think the whole night to be fair, 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.440 and I think that's sort of set the mood. So 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.960 you spoke about the vote being a conflicting moment from 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.880 last year winning an AKRA the Best Talent Best New Talent, Yes, 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.640 and then you know, getting an OVA, which kind of 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.239 sucks because it's like, oh, well you've got an award 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.800 for using your voice, that's right, But then Australia says, nah, 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:06.400 fuck your voice. 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:07.240 Yeah, you know what I mean. 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.080 And so you talked about that a little bit in 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:10.680 a way, and I thought that was really beautiful and 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.520 I was like, oh my god, I'm so happy. 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:13.279 Yeah. 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:14.400 I was like really proud, you know. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:14.880 Oh. 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:15.920 I was like, that's my best friend. 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.240 Well, I felt really powerful up there, like in terms 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.040 of like representing community. I felt like, I've got these people, 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.520 like their attention, I need to tell them what he's 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.200 on my heart when it comes to this industry. And 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.560 I think the call to action was that we all 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:31.000 should use our voice to elevate communities and people from 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.000 communities that don't have the platforms and privilege that we have. 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:35.919 So I think that was the call to action at 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.040 the end of the acknowledgment, which I feel really proud 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.000 to be able to stand up and say. But then 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.920 introducing Baker Boy, I was like, this is like a 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.560 highlight in my career because this person really personifies our culture, right. 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.839 He's song and dance like the epitome of First Nation's 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.440 culture when it comes to our storytelling. And I think 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.920 like being able to introduce him was a major highlight 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.480 for me, so being you know, sentimental in the acknowledgement. 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.360 Then to have a First Nations person just kick it 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.080 off with that energy like it was really a dream 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:03.559 come true. 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.119 It really honestly, like I love Baker Boys, Like shout 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.400 out to Baker Boy for like slaging that performance before 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.960 it's like, do you know, like he's actual? Look, can 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:12.480 we just give a little shout out to his like 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.280 fucking new song because it is actually so lit Like 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:17.200 have you listened to it? 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:18.400 I have? I think. 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.400 Like that's how the night is starting. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:27.760 Guy, and guess what he arrived And if you you 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.240 weren't there, it wasn't televised, but I introduced Baker Boy 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:35.160 and he's in a white g wagon, a white g wagon. 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:36.920 Like the screen goes up and he's in this white 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.160 g wagon on stage, Like how the fuck did they 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.680 get a Mercedes g wagon on that stage? I don't know. 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.159 It probably is no, because he's nuver played baker Boy Wow. 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.520 But before I went on stage, I went to that 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.039 g wagon and I sat in it with him and 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.080 I said, you're taking me on your taking But no, 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:53.880 it was it was It was so deadly. I mean, 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:55.680 it was a great way to kick off the night 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.480 and then to be able to present at the end 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.200 with you, you know, like that's a massive moment. 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.800 Fast forward to that moment you so you come, we 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.560 come on where I'm shipping my pants.

And for 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:26.320 someone to say that that joke was extremely misogynistic in 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.280 a weird way. I understand where she's coming from, but 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:32.920 it's about context. It's about context. It's about you and 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.240 I having dialogue around that joke.

So we're at the after 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.800 party and we're just having a great time. We've enjoyed 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.480 the night. It's been fucking fabulous. Yeah, and this woman 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.440 comes up to Maddie like literally b lines for him 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.200 and starts like not even like hey, I'm like so 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.320 and so blah blah blah.

And I 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.520 feel like we really thought about what we wanted to say, 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.600 and we wanted to be a little I thought it 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.160 was great, funny, but also show personalities, like it's not 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.319 the time to make yourselves smaller on that stage in 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:49.800 front of that room. You know. That's what I said 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:51.320 before you went out. I said, this isn't the time 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.199 to shrink, So this is the time to be who 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:53.480 we are. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.160 Yeah, we're giving each other. It's kind of the cutest moment. 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:00.280 Like if you wish, Yeah, if you could video that 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.480 moment of us like hyping each other up in that sense, 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.880 like you you more hyping me up because I'm like 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:07.400 shitting myself. 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.559 Because I was trying to release you clenching your bum hole. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:17.040 Trying to relax moments. But like it was just, yeah, 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.120 it was a bit. Sometimes you just don't need to 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.800 constantly be on and so pc and especially in those moments, 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.600 I get that they're huge moments to like, you know, 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.320 and like careers are not made in that room. Like 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.440 let's be honest, like we're all there just celebrating the 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:38.520 people that make up our audio and digital at podcasting 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.760 and radio spaces, you know what I mean, Like we're 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.560 not there to be like, oh my god, this presentation 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:45.240 is going to make my career, so I need to 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:46.839 be like on and I need to like say the 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:47.280 right thing. 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:52.080 It's like, no, I feel like that moment for me, honestly, 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.319 Like the first moment was about a serious and sentimental 0:11:55.720 --> 0:12:00.080 value of acknowledging, you know, country, and also giving in 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.560 sight into the lack of diversity in the Korea and 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.120 and call to action for the for the industry, for 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.640 the industry to change that. That was where I was 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.440 serious when I came to be presenting the awards. But 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.640 we were at the end of the night, nobody's listening 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.400 to us, have you know, serious serious yarns up there 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.800 by that point. So it's like, let's make people laugh, 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:19.920 let's have a good time, let's keep the energy up. 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:21.880 We're about to hit the after party, like we are, 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.440 we're the priest to the after party, Like we got 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.559 to bring the vibe. So to me, it wasn't about 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.880 like trying to get a career in that room. It 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.960 was more about the fact that we're two First Nations 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.000 people representing our community and having a good time. 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.600 Yes, And also, guys, that is not the only drama 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:39.640 that happened the night. 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.800 Oh okay, where are we going with this? 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:48.320 Well, I reconnected with my ex I saw, yes, and 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:48.920 it was good. 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:53.480 What's it? Yeah, okay, no, it. 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:57.160 Was actually quite funny. So guys, you know my ex Sam, 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.480 he works in radio. We've actually spoken or seeing each 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:02.679 other for like every years. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.480 When you saw him, you belined for him. I saw 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.599 you were like, I need to go say hello, because. 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.040 I didn't want the night to be awkward. You know, 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.000 when you're out a like someone's there, you could just 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.800 feel them, like looking at you. I could feel. But 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.160 the thing is, the moment I got there and the 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.559 moment I spotted him, I knew he saw me immediately 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.080 and he was trying to make himself invisible. And I 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.120 don't want him to feel like that. I don't want 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.080 anyone to feel like that, Like if they see me 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.720 and they're feeling awkward about it, like that's just a 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.280 shit feeling. Like anyone Like if I see someone, I'm like, fuck, 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:34.840 I don't want to be here because of that person. 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.640 It's just it makes for a shit night totally. So 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.160 I thought, fuck it, I'm in a really good place 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.040 in my mind. Break the eyes bee line for him, 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:47.280 make him feel good and like genuinely, but I just think, 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.719 why not? Like it's been over a year and a 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.520 half and I thought he would be I knew what 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.520 he would be like if I didn't do this, So 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.160 I was like, okay, Like, let's hope that you know, 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:57.720 we can. 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.680 Both and you both are good people. Sam is a 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.800 good guy. Even seeing him, you know, at the Acros 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.280 after party and reconnecting with him in terms of like 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.719 just having a yarn with him, I can tell he's 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.959 a good guy. He's he's you know, he doesn't want 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.000 to cause any harm. So I feel like, you guys 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:19.120 having your moment of closure is great. I love the 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.200 fact that you guys reconnected. And then at one point 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.320 you did say Sam and I are going to continue 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:28.720 this conversation in the hotel room. What okay?

I had my own key, and I 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.880 came back unannounced and yeah, and they were just d. 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:49.240 We would like dn ming. It was actually so nice. 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:54.640 It was cathartic. It was a nice reconnection of moving 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.840 into like a friendship. And that's the best thing about 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.560 you know, once you've been with someone and you're you know, 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.160 broken up, like I'm friends with most of my exes 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.120 and you know this, like yeah, and you're probably the 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.320 same a little bit, like there's only very few that 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.760 you know, but it's like ended badly and it should end, 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.280 you know, and it's full stop like no totally.
