Andrew, I learned so 170 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: much booking. 171 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 4: You news dot Com, dott you reader's love behind the 172 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 4: scenes stories. In the last two years when you've been hosting, 173 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 4: have there been any behind the scenes dramas, whether they 174 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 4: be tech fails, last minute changes. 175 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 3: That threw a little bit of a spanner in the 176 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: works for you on the night. 177 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: I think the only thing I can remember off the 178 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: top of my head was it the first year I 179 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: wanted to pay tribute to ray Mar. You know, I 180 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: had some things planned. I wanted to pay tribute to him, 181 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: and then when I started talking to him, I realized 182 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: that he wasn't in his he wasn't in his chair, 183 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: he wasn't at his table, and so I, you know, 184 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: I thought that when I was doing some jokes about him, 185 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: that they would cut away to Ray and he wasn't. 186 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: They couldn't because he wasn't. 187 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: There, because Home and Away had won an award and 188 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: he'd been doing the publicity arounds because you know, Ray loves, 189 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: he loves talking about himself, and they just couldn't prime 190 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: away from a microphone. So basically I was doing jokes 191 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: about Raymar, which I thought were going to be to 192 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: Rayma and he was not there. 193 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: Great were you. 194 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 3: Just like, oh, well, this is wonderful. Thanks for that, right, Yeah, 195 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: this is great. 196 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: Yes, I think I actually acknowledged I said, you know what, 197 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: this this, that would have gone a lot better if 198 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: Ray was actually here. 199 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: And then then he got back just in time. So yeah, 200 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: made it turned out. 201 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 4: Okay, did you have a standout moment from last year's awards? 202 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 3: Because I did last. 203 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: Year's awards stand out Celia for Koala, Yeah. 204 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: You know, swearing national television was you know what I know, 205 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: seals and that sort of behavior that you know, I've 206 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: come to expect from her.
