Actually, like I 36 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: tell that, go on, go on, go buzz this person off, 37 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: buzzle this first off, go onkay okay like that, and 38 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: then when she did in the audience, boodo, go okay. 39 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: There's awful. 40 00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: Why you. 41 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: Were underabout Yeah, but we we had we had a 42 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: lot of fun together and it felt immediately quite natural, 43 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: you know, because it's quite straight. There's no rehearsals that 44 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: there's never no scripts. You're just kind of on your 45 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: wit and you know, you know, we just got off 46 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: a plane, you know, me and Alisha, and it was like, okay, 47 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: what's all this going to be about? But immediately it's 48 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: felt natural, apart from the few occasions where people walked 49 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: onto the stage and I said, just because I you know, 50 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know where I was, welcome to Britain's Got Talent. 51 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: And now you've never heard Australians boo as loud, I've 52 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: got the name of the show wrong and thought we 53 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: were still in Brott can happen? You know? 54 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 3: Giving feedback? I mean in the radio industry, if somebody 55 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 3: was to do say they were trying to put on 56 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: a performance or a live read and it wasn't very good, 57 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 3: we use terms like I reckon, you've got a better 58 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 3: one in you. I reckon it's worth another crack, you've 59 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 3: got a better one in you. But want a show 60 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 3: like this where you can't get them to go away 61 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: and try again, how do you give somebody that direct feedback? 62 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: Well you don't. You just buzz them off, which is 63 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: the beauty of this team. No, I mean it's different, 64 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: isn't it. There are people who getting up and just 65 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: having a bit of a laugh. You know, they're so 66 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: wide as the mark that you know the buzz is 67 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: the right thing. There's other people that you can see 68 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: have got promise and you want to be encouraging and 69 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: you come back and see us next year. But wrong, 70 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff because because you know, not 71 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: everybody you know does well on the show, and that 72 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: if everyone did well, we wouldn't watch it. Because the 73 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: interesting thing about the show is people did doing brilliantly, 74 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: other people not doing so well, and the drama of that. 75 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: So I try and be as supportive as possible, especially 76 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: if I could really send that that person means a 77 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: lot to that person and I can see some kind 78 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: of spark or something there, then I think it's kind 79 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: of it seems unclined to buzz off, but you'd be 80 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: surprised when you've been sitting there for like ten or 81 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: twelve hours, you're really ready to press that, but they 82 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: don't think that. We're all age goodness, we want to 83 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: go home. Let's let's get oud of you. 84 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: Hey, we recently lost Queen Elizabeth the Sick and it's 85 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 2: been huge over in the UK and you guys have 86 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: been mourning over there. You were quite close with the 87 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: raw family.

What happens 91 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: in conversations like that? 92 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: Well, I mean they said they were huge fans of me. No, 93 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: you know what, they're just their people. They've nice people. 94 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: They're very posh people, but they're they're people. And I 95 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: met them both before. If you and you know, they 96 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: immediately put you at your ease, and you know you 97 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: have quite a light conversation with them because you don't 98 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: want to ask them many personal questions because you know, 99 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: you know that if you told someone it would end 100 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: up in a newspapers for you. You know, you just 101 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: have a light conversation. But at the time when we 102 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: met them, look at the queen was was still alive 103 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: and and William was talking about, you know, comfortable shoes 104 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: for Granny and stuff like that. It was my mum 105 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: was giving some advice and one of the mass It 106 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: was all very light and natural, very sweet. 107 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: Your mum was telling William that the Queen should really 108 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 3: go for a soft, hush puppy or a comfy. 109 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: Yeah.

But it's it's 111 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: a weird one, isn't it. I Mean, obviously you're royal, 112 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: you're on a sort of pedestal and everything. But at 113 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: the same time, they're just people, aren't they. And and 114 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: they're they're meeting people all the time who were like, 115 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: you know, obviously kind of overwhelmed because they're meeting this 116 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: very famous, important person. But but they're good at people, 117 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: putting people at their ease, and it just felt natural 118 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: to chat them.
