But yeah, it's 44 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: it's it's been fascinating. I think there's the three of 45 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: us who have come to the I guess there's the 46 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: same point, but for three different reasons. I think, to 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: be honest, it was never a. 48 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 3: Group chat going Hey, guys, I just want to throw 49 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 3: something out there between you know, the group chat. 50 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: I wasn't invited. 51 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 4: There's a lot of speculation though, Pete that you know 52 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 4: that it's moving in a new direction and stuff like that. 53 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 4: You carrying yourself have been a part of that show 54 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 4: for so long, and it does get to a moment 55 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 4: where you know, you've got to keep yourself motivated and 56 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 4: there's other things that you have in your lives that 57 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 4: that's the sole reason, isn't it. 58 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: It's not because you were pushed out by ten or 59 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: anything like that. 60 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: No, no, not, not, not at all. I have been 61 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: thinking about this for absolutely honest, a fair portion of 62 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: the year. And and and it's funny when you know, 63 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: I did a few calls and let a few people know, 64 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: and you know, when you start talking to people who 65 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: are close to you, they none of them were surprised. 66 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: In fact, they all kind of anticipated it. In fact, 67 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: one one actually thought that I'd actually confirmed it with him, 68 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: you know, about about six weeks ago, right, So it 69 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: was kind of it was kind of one of those 70 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: things I think I was strict feeding, you know, almost 71 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: the announcements through friends and just seeing how it sounded 72 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: coming out of my own mouth and then what their 73 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: reactions were, and it's a bratty they see Harry make 74 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: that call. I think that kind of gave me probably 75 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: the because it is hard to leave a show that works. 76 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: I've seen people leave shows for the working and for 77 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: antisps the shot and and you know, I'm always thought, well, 78 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: you leave a show that's working, you know. And it's 79 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: actually been fourteen I think it's been reported as it's 80 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: actually nine years, you know, and then a couple of years. 81 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: I'm feeling in for yearsy before that, so it's actually 82 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: been you know, I've been in the building for over 83 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: ten years. 84 00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: And it's amazing. 85 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: It is crazy. It's funny actually talking to you now 86 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: and watching the World Cup because in two thousand and 87 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: six I was over myself. We're filling in an American 88 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: and so on Nova and all kinds of memories. I 89 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: remember watching Japan versus the Psaka Ruse and coming straight 90 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: into her to work after that amazing morning job. 91 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: So made Pete. 92 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: I don't want to. 93 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 3: I don't know if I should ask this question because 94 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: it makes it sound like if we know that Carrie 95 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 3: had been thinking about it for a while, and you'd 96 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: discussed it and you knew that she was going to end, 97 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: and then you'd have been playing on your mind. But 98 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: nobody knew Lisa was going to end. It sounds like 99 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: that had some controversy around it. 100 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: No, no, no, not none of all. Well, I mean 101 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: everyone can read into it whatever, But I think Lisa 102 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: just came to it, you know. I mean, Lisa has 103 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: had and I've seen the first hand, she's had an 104 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: incredibly tucky year to be absolutely hon Yeah, and I 105 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: think there are things obviously coming up in you know, 106 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: in the world that I think she just felt like 107 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: she needs to take awad and I want to talk 108 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: on the half of police. So she's amazing. I think 109 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: a family, you know, sometimes you know, people get put 110 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: through the ring of publicly and but it's not just them, 111 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: it's their family and making Yeah, it does take its toll, 112 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: and I think Least making a really brave, brave choice 113 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: for her and her family. And you know it's you know, 114 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean you could be seeing Lisa Wilkinson. 115 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 3: Yes, more, it's one of those things too, and it 116 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 3: relates to everybody.
