I like that, Dean, 9 00:00:32,133 --> 00:00:33,693 Speaker 2: Although you know, I don't want to slag off the 10 00:00:33,733 --> 00:00:36,173 Speaker 2: colder months too much. I just one of the things 11 00:00:36,893 --> 00:00:39,693 Speaker 2: I like to. I like to experience all seasons, you know. 12 00:00:39,813 --> 00:00:42,013 Speaker 2: I think it makes you value you know, i'd want 13 00:00:42,013 --> 00:00:43,933 Speaker 2: to live in Los Angeles, you know, certainly not me. 14 00:00:44,013 --> 00:00:45,053 Speaker 3: I like to. 15 00:00:45,293 --> 00:00:48,013 Speaker 2: I think you value the warmer weather when you have 16 00:00:48,053 --> 00:00:49,213 Speaker 2: a bit of cold weather and a bit of rain 17 00:00:49,213 --> 00:00:51,133 Speaker 2: in your life sometimes as well. Ninety two ninety two. 18 00:00:51,133 --> 00:00:52,613 Speaker 2: If you want to flick us a text other ways, 19 00:00:52,613 --> 00:00:54,773 Speaker 2: you can email me like Dean did.

Keilder Kevin? 22 00:00:59,853 --> 00:01:03,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jack, I love the rain. I love it and 23 00:01:03,773 --> 00:01:06,173 Speaker 3: It's good, isn't it. You know, when rain comes down, 24 00:01:06,213 --> 00:01:10,413 Speaker 3: it's going to be doing, by and large, a hell 25 00:01:10,453 --> 00:01:12,533 Speaker 3: of a lot of good. Yeah. It's going to help 26 00:01:12,573 --> 00:01:15,573 Speaker 3: our gardens, it's going to provide water for drinking, all 27 00:01:15,613 --> 00:01:19,813 Speaker 3: these sorts of things. What I don't like is wind. 28 00:01:20,133 --> 00:01:22,893 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, cool, Yeah, yeah, I. 29 00:01:22,853 --> 00:01:26,853 Speaker 3: Mean I know it disperses seeds and that sort of stuff. 30 00:01:27,293 --> 00:01:29,053 Speaker 3: What the hell do. 31 00:01:28,893 --> 00:01:34,373 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, I mean in the ground 32 00:01:34,493 --> 00:01:37,533 Speaker 2: or something. It probably dries things out a little bit 33 00:01:37,533 --> 00:01:39,493 Speaker 2: as well, doesn't it. I'm sure it dries things out. 34 00:01:39,573 --> 00:01:40,693 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I don't know. 35 00:01:41,053 --> 00:01:41,413 Speaker 3: I don't know. 36 00:01:41,453 --> 00:01:42,893 Speaker 2: Mey, you guys have just got to You've got a 37 00:01:42,893 --> 00:01:46,053 Speaker 2: fancy new dryer system. It's good for the washing sometimes, Kevin, Yeah, 38 00:01:47,813 --> 00:01:49,533 Speaker 2: I don't mind a bit of wind that like. I 39 00:01:49,613 --> 00:01:51,933 Speaker 2: like to feel a kind of extremes from sometimes. You know, 40 00:01:51,933 --> 00:01:54,173 Speaker 2: it's a big, really gusty wind. Doesn't doesn't bother me 41 00:01:54,173 --> 00:01:56,133 Speaker 2: too much. But yeah, I'm with you. I'm a fan 42 00:01:56,133 --> 00:01:57,773 Speaker 2: of the rain as well, and I'm a fan of 43 00:01:57,853 --> 00:02:01,413 Speaker 2: rounding the seasons to suit us. But Kevin, you've been 44 00:02:01,453 --> 00:02:03,533 Speaker 2: thinking about something else just where you have been impressed 45 00:02:03,533 --> 00:02:06,293 Speaker 2: by a swimming start, although not for swimming. 46 00:02:07,093 --> 00:02:10,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've seen some heroics from our two top sports 47 00:02:10,373 --> 00:02:13,533 Speaker 3: people recently Lydia Go and Lisa Garrington. But there's a 48 00:02:13,533 --> 00:02:18,173 Speaker 3: third that I'm astounded by. And who is she? Dame 49 00:02:18,333 --> 00:02:22,053 Speaker 3: Sophie Pasco And I'm not talking about her swimming but 50 00:02:22,253 --> 00:02:26,653 Speaker 3: her television presenting along with Scottie Stevenson. She's fronting the 51 00:02:26,693 --> 00:02:29,133 Speaker 3: TV coverage of the Paris Olympics. A lot of you 52 00:02:29,173 --> 00:02:32,853 Speaker 3: will know that. And how good is she? I'm assuming 53 00:02:33,253 --> 00:02:37,213 Speaker 3: she's done little to no live presenting before, but she's 54 00:02:37,293 --> 00:02:40,093 Speaker 3: just sat down in the studio and nailed it. Scotty 55 00:02:40,133 --> 00:02:42,413 Speaker 3: would be a great guy to work alongside, of course, 56 00:02:42,533 --> 00:02:46,973 Speaker 3: encouraging and positive. But you'd swear she had been selected 57 00:02:47,013 --> 00:02:49,773 Speaker 3: from a bunch of presenters who had been doing the 58 00:02:49,893 --> 00:02:52,253 Speaker 3: job all their lives. What do you reckon? Have you 59 00:02:52,333 --> 00:02:52,893 Speaker 3: seen the jack? 60 00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:56,933 Speaker 2: Yeah? Is she doing an exceptional job? I think for 61 00:02:56,973 --> 00:02:58,493 Speaker 2: someone who's a stepped don I mean she's done a 62 00:02:58,493 --> 00:03:00,733 Speaker 2: few interviews over the years, to say the least, but 63 00:03:00,773 --> 00:03:03,053 Speaker 2: to step in and actually be presenting is a different story. 64 00:03:03,093 --> 00:03:03,933 Speaker 2: I think she's amazing. 65 00:03:04,813 --> 00:03:08,293 Speaker 3: Yeah she is. And I'm got to say I've got 66 00:03:08,293 --> 00:03:10,533 Speaker 3: a bit of a sprite this morning, but I found 67 00:03:10,533 --> 00:03:14,053 Speaker 3: that you were actually interviewing. I think I better just 68 00:03:14,173 --> 00:03:17,373 Speaker 3: check what I'm going to be saying about here. But no, 69 00:03:17,493 --> 00:03:21,693 Speaker 3: it can only be positive and it's fantastic. Really. In fact, 70 00:03:21,733 --> 00:03:25,013 Speaker 3: I wondered whether I shouldn't talk about something else entirely 71 00:03:25,493 --> 00:03:28,453 Speaker 3: because it sounds what I'm about to say. It sounds 72 00:03:28,493 --> 00:03:31,373 Speaker 3: like I'm just promoting the latter part of your show, 73 00:03:31,653 --> 00:03:32,893 Speaker 3: audient or the next. 74 00:03:33,773 --> 00:03:35,453 Speaker 2: Don't be afraid of that. 75 00:03:35,733 --> 00:03:37,893 Speaker 3: Well, the thing about going out to the country live 76 00:03:38,733 --> 00:03:42,333 Speaker 3: as she's doing is keeping your nerves and check, and 77 00:03:42,613 --> 00:03:45,413 Speaker 3: very few presenters can nail that straight away. I mean, 78 00:03:45,853 --> 00:03:49,093 Speaker 3: Sophie Pasco has not even done an apprenticeship as a 79 00:03:49,173 --> 00:03:53,973 Speaker 3: non live presenter. She's been a swimmer. My first experience 80 00:03:54,013 --> 00:03:57,533 Speaker 3: presenting live to the nation was reading the lunchtime news. 81 00:03:58,493 --> 00:04:01,373 Speaker 3: It frightens the hell out of you, especially if you 82 00:04:01,453 --> 00:04:04,813 Speaker 3: think about how many people are watching. I'm so nervous 83 00:04:05,093 --> 00:04:07,773 Speaker 3: that the head of presentation called the head of news 84 00:04:08,133 --> 00:04:12,013 Speaker 3: and demanded I'd be taken off air. Luckily, the head 85 00:04:12,013 --> 00:04:15,373 Speaker 3: of news pleaded that I had the potential and to 86 00:04:15,373 --> 00:04:18,373 Speaker 3: give me another chance. But really it wasn't until I 87 00:04:18,413 --> 00:04:21,093 Speaker 3: did fair go live for a few years that I 88 00:04:21,213 --> 00:04:24,053 Speaker 3: got in control of the nerves. So I'd be interesting 89 00:04:24,093 --> 00:04:27,493 Speaker 3: to see how people like Lydia co or Lisa Carrington 90 00:04:27,613 --> 00:04:32,013 Speaker 3: performed as TV presenters. Would their ability to control their 91 00:04:32,133 --> 00:04:37,093 Speaker 3: nerves get them through probably? All this isn't good for 92 00:04:37,173 --> 00:04:41,693 Speaker 3: us professional presenters, Jack, which spent years creating a mistique 93 00:04:41,733 --> 00:04:45,373 Speaker 3: about the business that it's a real skill. Now we 94 00:04:45,413 --> 00:04:48,853 Speaker 3: can't have sports sales wandering into the studio and saying 95 00:04:48,893 --> 00:04:49,453 Speaker 3: it's easy. 96 00:04:51,173 --> 00:04:53,333 Speaker 2: I wonder if we could turn things around, Kevin. So, 97 00:04:54,013 --> 00:04:57,653 Speaker 2: if the qualities that make you, you know, handle pressure 98 00:04:57,653 --> 00:05:00,813 Speaker 2: as an elite athlete, if they are also the qualities 99 00:05:00,813 --> 00:05:02,933 Speaker 2: that mean you can transition to life as a TV 100 00:05:03,053 --> 00:05:05,533 Speaker 2: presenter smoothly, can we go in the opposite direction? 101 00:05:07,013 --> 00:05:12,053 Speaker 3: I thought about that. Yeah, it is no chance at all. 102 00:05:12,333 --> 00:05:17,893 Speaker 3: I go for golf probably, but as a both for swimming, yeah, 103 00:05:17,893 --> 00:05:21,933 Speaker 3: I'd be hopeless at both. But it is incredible and 104 00:05:21,973 --> 00:05:24,733 Speaker 3: good on Dame Sophie Bascow. And I'm delighted that you're 105 00:05:24,773 --> 00:05:28,693 Speaker 3: talking to her. And yeah she used to be encouraged 106 00:05:28,933 --> 00:05:29,373 Speaker 3: for sure. 107 00:05:29,453 --> 00:05:32,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, she's just a total legend. And I 108 00:05:32,573 --> 00:05:35,213 Speaker 2: will ask her actually about you know, I'll ask her 109 00:05:35,253 --> 00:05:38,733 Speaker 2: about how she feels being in a TV studio presenting. 110 00:05:38,893 --> 00:05:40,813 Speaker 2: I mean, she seems like a real natural, but I 111 00:05:40,893 --> 00:05:43,773 Speaker 2: wonder if she's been feeling at all nervous going out 112 00:05:43,813 --> 00:05:45,973 Speaker 2: to all those hundreds of thousands of people over the 113 00:05:46,053 --> 00:05:48,933 Speaker 2: last few nights in the first few days of the Paralympic. 114 00:05:49,053 --> 00:05:50,933 Speaker 2: She's going to be with us after ten o'clock this morning. 115 00:05:51,133 --> 00:05:52,893 Speaker 2: Really really looking forward to catching up with her. She's 116 00:05:52,893 --> 00:05:54,813 Speaker 2: going to be in studio, so stick around for that. 117 00:05:55,453 --> 00:05:58,533 Speaker 1: For more from Saturday Morning with Jack Tame, Listen live 118 00:05:58,653 --> 00:06:01,813 Speaker 1: to news talks'd Be from nine am Saturday, or follow 119 00:06:01,853 --> 00:06:03,373 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
