24
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: Scott Tweety. I cannot believe until about three weeks ago,

25
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: we had not met in real life.

26
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 3: I know we're connected via Mitsubishi's.

27
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: Completely and I ask for this my headphones. I was like,

28
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: why is this guy on mute?

29
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: Talk to me?

30
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: Here?

31
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: We go be connected. So but even though we connected,

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: I am Mitsubishi, we still never met.

33
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: No. I knew who you were, but I didn't know

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: what you were about. I didn't spend that much time

35
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: researching you, but I just knew you're a lovely lady.

36
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, a.

37
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: Lady feels so old my friend.

38
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: Oh, you're a wise, beautiful, knowledgeable lady.

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: So okay, So how you kind of like came into

40
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: onto my radar. I'd always definitely been aware of you,

41
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: and I was really jealous because you got a black

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: Mitsubishi and I was not allowed to have a black Mitsubishi.

43
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: I had to have this royal blue color or this

44
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: marone color because that's what the ambassadors got. But you

45
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: are sure, how does Scott get a black one. You

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: got the really slick sex.

47
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 3: I don't know. This is the thing.

48
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: I just said I want a black one and they

49
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: were like, what about the red? And I was like, nah,

50
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: the black, and they gave me the black one. So

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how that works. I know mine was

52
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: through a Channel ten network deal, so yours is a

53
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: very different deal. I kind of have to do what

54
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: the network says. And it's like, yep, cool, I'll drive

55
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: this car. Free car and Sydney absolutely because cars get

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: smashed there.

57
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: Totally okay, Well so look at us poor as color?

58
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: Are we getting?

59
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: Okay? I want to go back. I want to go

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: back to the start. So I didn't one.

61
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: I did not know.

62
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: You haven't had official like training. You haven't gone to

63
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: like radio school, you haven't gone to I know you've

64
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: done a bit of acting training, but like hasn't gone well, No,

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: I do want to talk about neighbors and Derek, but

66
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: have you Is it true you went to union studied commerce?

67
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: Is that right? Yeah?

68
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: I did finance, commerce and economics. Because I finished school,

69
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: I didn't know what the hell to do. I went

70
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: to a private school in Brisbane. My parents worked hard

71
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: to send me there. Yes, So I was surrounded by

72
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: all these rich kids, and I was like, well, I

73
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: want to be rich when I'm older.

74
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: So then I was like, what do you do to

75
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: become rich? And finance?

76
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: And I could crunch numb weirdly my brain. I don't

77
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: know what's going on up there, but my brain when

78
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: it comes to crunching numbers and it comes to any equations,

79
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: I'm like a master at it. I like it where

80
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: there's an answer and I can work my way backwards.

81
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: It's a very black and white are okay?

82
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: That kind of that checks out. I feel like that

83
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: kind of.

84
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: Was really like a creative industries now.

85
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, like I in, I can see why you

86
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: went down that.

87
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

88
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: So for me, very easy to study that. And then

89
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: you can only bullshit yourself for so long. So the

90
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: second or third year in I was looking around my lecture.

91
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: All my friends there were like passionately reading your financial

92
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: review every day.

93
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 3: I can do a shit about that. So for me,

94
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: I always love film and TV. It was my favorite

95
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: subject at school. I'd spend extra.

96
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: Time doing that. I'd run around with a camera editing filming.

97
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: So I just had that itch. Yeah, and then that's

98
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: when the Nova radio gig came up, and it was

99
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: like my best friend told.

100
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: Me about it. He was like, oh, by the way, there's.

101
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: On this site there's a Nova Sandman Street Team position

102
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: going up up for grabs. And I was like, this

103
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: is like the rock star gig. This is like the

104
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: coolest gig you can get at UNI, especially.

105
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: When you're like, what eighteen nineteen years old?

106
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: It was about twenty. Yeah, that's actually right.

107
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so all we were doing is driving around, but

108
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 2: you got that thirty seconds on the radio every day.

109
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're so nervous.

110
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: You write down your script and you're like, now looking

111
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: at it, you're like, oh my god, that's so simple.

112
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: So okay. So and then I heard like, so you

113
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: were on like a team, that street team, right.

114
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: Which was awesome. There were such good people that I

115
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: met through that.

116
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, that heaps me were auditioning for this new ABC

117
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: three correct because they're like casting hosts and you were like.

118
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: No for me, Well no, because at that point I.

119
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: Was then obsessed with music, obsessed with.

120
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: Music, and I was kind of being a bit of

121
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: a weasel in a Nova one. I was on an

122
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: hourly rate, so the more hours I worked the more

123
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: I got paid, and I realized if I filmed and

124
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: edited the breakfast hosts at music festivals, then I could

125
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: basically go to those music festivals for free, work more hours.

126
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: But then also they only wanted to interview the headline acts,

127
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: so who was interviewing all the rest?

128
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: I was like, can I step in and interview them?

129
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: They're like absolutely, So I.

130
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: Was getting experience on camera, ticking all the boxes. So

131
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: then at that point I was like, what's the dream

132
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: job MTV or be When this ABC three came around

133
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: like a kids channel, I was thinking, you know, like

134
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: the Wiggles, like play school.

135
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 3: And I was like, not for me.

136
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: But then I realized all these other guys from the

137
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: Street Team were putting in tapes, and I watched their

138
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: tapes and not being arrogant, but I was like, I

139
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: can edit a better video than that. I can put

140
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: a better production together than theirs. But I also made

141
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: the decision then and there. I was like, I will

142
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: only do do this being myself. I'm not going to

143
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: make it more kiddy. I'm not going to try.

144
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 3: And be a different person.

145
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: But lucky for me, at that time, I was probably

146
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: I think I was twenty one, I looked like I

147
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: was seventeen. Oh yes, So I had the baby vase

148
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: so that ticked. I had the crazy hair check as well,

149
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: and then just the Brisbane personality I think, which got

150
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: me over the line. Humor.

151
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's Prank Patrol. Is that where this was?

152
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: That's what happened.

153
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: So I went from a national casting call of seven

154
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 2: thousand people down to I got to the top one hundred.

155
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: That was in Brisbane.

156
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: Then the next week they flew myself in ten people

157
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: to Sydney because they were launching this whole channel. They're like,

158
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: we've got heaps of different shows, and I remember on

159
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 2: that Sydney day they were kind of going, now, Scott,

160
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: there's this prank show and I was like, I want

161
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: the bigger gig. The bigger gig was the Canaan Amberley,

162
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: which is like the main host of the channel. So

163
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: they popped up between all the shows and I left

164
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: that day going.

165
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: I don't think I nailed that audition.

166
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: But then two days later they got the call and

167
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: they're like, can you move to Melbourne next week?

168
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: You're getting your Prank Patrol. You're the host of that.

169
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: And I still really didn't sink in, and then I

170
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: started watching Prank Patrol and I was like, this is

171
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: so lame, so.

172
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: Cringe all at the time though, I was like, oh

173
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: no the British host because there was a British series

174
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: in a Canadian series and I was like, oh, I'm

175
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: not like them.

176
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: This wasn't the British one going off like wasn't It

177
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: didn't have a huge following.

178
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: So then what happened was my first two weeks, they

179
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: flew the British director out to Australia and he was

180
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: basically like, Scott, this show is going to change your life.

181
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: And I was like, what do you mean as a

182
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: kid show? It's not going to change my life? Yeah,

183
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: I n I promise you. He goes. In the UK.

184
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: It's been running for three series now.

185
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: The age bracket, which is eight to twelve year olds

186
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: just live and breathe this show like it's pranking. It's

187
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: you go out there and you're being cheeky, you're being

188
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: borderline nasty to your friends. They're like, this is the

189
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: best format ever. And it took me a while for

190
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: that to sink in. But also one more thing that

191
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: happened was the Australian director. He directs some of the

192
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: biggest TV shows in the country and he's a very

193
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: funny guy, Peter Lawler, and he was basically like day

194
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 2: number one when I worked with him. He goes tweety,

195
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: You've got two options here. Option number one, you be

196
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 2: too cool, this show is not going to go off.

197
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: For option number two.

198
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: You want one hundred percent invest in this live and

199
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 2: breathe it and just bring your goofiest, funniest, just the

200
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: most genuine side and it will translate. And that's the

201
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: lane we went down, and it was awesome. It worked

202
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: out really well.

203
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: Talking to you now and having seen you eat mazillion

204
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: hot dogs at a Dodger game, I feel like it

205
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: totally would have suited your personality.

206
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: It really did.

207
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: It did, and I must say not to jump all

208
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: over the shop, but I love it When liv got

209
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: you back with a prank and Denise co hosted with you.

210
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: It can't beat Ding Dong. She is like the og.

211
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: Backstory to everybody.

212
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: Live pulled a SICKI on our music show The Loop

213
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: and the network were like, well, Live can't be here

214
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: normally we just host it on our own. If someone's

215
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 2: sick or bringing a guest younger host. But they were like,

216
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: we're trying to cross promotion with Denise Drysdale Studio ten.

217
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: So they brought her in and I was like, I

218
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: love Denise and we worked together quite a few times

219
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: on Studio ten.

220
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: But she was just derailing everything and it was embarrassing.

221
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: She was having a breakdown, and I was like feeling

222
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: so sorry for it.

223
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 3: The problem with.

224
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: This prank was they just hooked me and they revealed it.

225
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: They could have let that go on for another half

226
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: an hour because.

227
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: I was in, yeah, you were fing committed awkward for her.

228
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: I'm trying to just calling Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber, I know.

229
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: I was like, oh God, this really worse. But yeah,

230
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 2: liv got me, and then I learned really quickly she's

231
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: a really bad sport because I got her back and

232
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: she didn't talk to me for like three weeks.

233
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: Oh how good. How'd you get her back? What did

234
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: you do?

235
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: We did a fake photo shoot for The Beast magazine,

236
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: which is a Bondi Eastern Suburbs magazine, like the local magazine,

237
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: so we pretended that she was on the cover of it.

238
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: Oh so the day before we had a friend call

239
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: up and pretend to be the journalist to make it

240
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: seem more authentic. Yeah, And then we were we were

241
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: down at ben Buckler's the South then, yeah, Southern End

242
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 2: a BONDI.

243
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, And basically we were doing a photo shoot with her.

244
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 2: So we had all like I had like four friends

245
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: as camera guys hidden in the bushes. We had a

246
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: photographer there, we had like a faked at a fake

247
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: a real actor playing a photographer.

248
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we had her.

249
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: Throwing kale in the air and do all this lame stuff.

250
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Was half onto it. And then when I walked out

251
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: as a Bond II rescue lifeguard, she literally was so angry.

252
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: She just stormed off and walked home. And I was like,

253
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: don't worry about her. She got me two weeks ago.

254
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: Who cares. She was so pissed off. No, so good,

255
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 2: so much fun.

256
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: Oh I love a good prank.

257
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's get her again.

258
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: Well we live and I have the same manager in Australia,

259
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: and that's why I was I was like, I wonder

260
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: how far you took that prank.

261
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: We didn't ask management?

262
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, hell no, managements always say no.

263
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. I feel like they would have been on

264
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: board with that one. That's a good okay. So so

265
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: that brings me to the loop that went for eight

266
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: years ash London. Yeah, then live Denise. Can't beat Denise honestly.

267
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 3: Like one of the greats, the great greats of all time.

268
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: So then you're kind of living the dream. You're living

269
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: in Bondi. You're working on this really long standing show

270
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: which is like TV hosting, presenting world like you don't

271
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: often get that.

272
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: To get a network deal is the dream, right, And

273
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: that's what I had.

274
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: I had that for eight years Channel ten and it

275
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: was started out just as a loop, but then they

276
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: started using me all around the world to flying behind

277
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: the scenes shows.

278
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: I'm a celebrity.

279
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: I loved there's a clip of that on YouTube, very funny.

280
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 3: It was good. It was a lot of fun.

281
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: But with those projects, see, they were all I got

282
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: given the keys to these smaller projects where they were

283
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: only expecting a tiny amount, and I just wanted to

284
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: like over deliver. I was like, let's give these guys

285
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: the greatest production we can do with this small budget.

286
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: And that happened two years in a row in Africa,

287
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: and the first year was just a Facebook show sponsored

288
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: by KFC, and then they it was called Edge of

289
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: the Jungle and they were just expecting me to sit

290
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: down with a celebrity before they go into the jungle

291
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: as an interview, and I was like, hell no. I

292
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: was like, we're here in Africa. We've got some of

293
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 2: the greatest animals, scenes, people talent around us. Let's make

294
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: this as big as we can. So I got flown

295
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: over with one guy. He was a director, a producer,

296
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: and editor and basically him and I were doing twenty

297
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: four hour plus.

298
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 3: Shifts to make this the best thing we could.

299
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: But doing that hard work earned me my own show

300
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: the next year.

301
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: I've got a Saturday night show off from that.

302
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: So I think all those right back to the Nova days,

303
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: learning how to edit, storyteller and do everything yourself pays

304
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: off big time.

305
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm to ask. I feel like you

306
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: obviously write a lot of your own content, not even

307
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: just like content content, but like you've got AUTOQ for

308
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: some of the gigs like The Loop, I imagine you

309
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: would have had AUTOQ.

310
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally.

311
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: Denise actually threw you under the bus with that one.

312
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: But but do you write your own stuff or is

313
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: there a writer both?

314
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: So depending on what show it was prank control. There

315
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: were writers, but then also on the day Peter and

316
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 2: I would bounce ire style, we don't like this, that's

317
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: not funny, let's do this, let's try different things out.

318
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: He was just always trying to make me laugh and

319
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 2: it was a nice ongoing gag. The loop one hundred

320
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: percent was just live an eye it, yeah, or Ash

321
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 2: London and I writing it. Then we have producers look

322
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: at it, yeah, make a few changes, all those smaller

323
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: little gigs.

324
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: Yep, all my writing.

325
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 2: Once again, for E News it was eighty percent we

326
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: had writers, but then we'd always come through and go,

327
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that, let's change this. Yes, And that

328
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: was very much sticking to the script because it was

329
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: a half an hour live shows. You were a time

330
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: out the show yeap, and then there was a one

331
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: hour live show as well.

332
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: But I like going off scripts. That's my brand.

333
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like you'd be phenomenal at improv,

334
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: like if something if you were shooting like live to

335
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: tape or live to air and something like like I've

336
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: done smoothies, like because I'm Nutritions, I've gone on and

337
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: made smoothies before. And the lid's flown off. The hosts

338
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: loved it usually because it's the best.

339
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really really like it when things go wrong.

340
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: We did a there was once a year what was

341
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: the what's that shopping channel?

342
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 3: Is it called the shopping Channel?

343
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: The one in Australia, like brand Power like that.

344
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: So we'd every year they bring celebrities.

345
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: Let's use that word loosely because I was invited, but

346
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: they bring people into the mix and we basically have

347
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: a day of just selling stuff and whatever we rate,

348
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: whatever we sold got, you.

349
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 3: Know, race for charity.

350
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: So that was the mission and that's what I was

351
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: doing it with live and she put this like face

352
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: cream and she didn't know how to open it and

353
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: it just spurted like fared income into my eyeball and

354
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: I'm never like it was burning so much, but once again,

355
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: it's like what a great moment.

356
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: I like to be like, who cares.

357
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: News. We had massive issues with our thirty rock studio

358
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: because our controller room was still in LA and so

359
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: there was this real disconnect there. And then Fashion Week

360
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: was on and we're trying to do a live cross

361
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: with Xana, who was about five blocks away from the.

362
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: Studio in New York City.

363
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: And in the commercial break we were chatting to her

364
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: and there's just such a delay. There was like a

365
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: five second delay, which is just awful TV. So I

366
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: looked at my co host Liliana and I was like,

367
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: this is a train wreck.

368
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 3: What we need to do? Throw it to Zanna.

369
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: She just talks, do not do any forward and back.

370
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: As soon as we've start going forward and back, we've

371
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: lost it. Yeah, it's done. Yeah, And because Lily loves

372
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: Fashion unfortunately started the foward and back and it was

373
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: just getting.

374
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: Worse and worse.

375
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: But I kind of was loving it more and more.

376
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: I was like, the more this happens, the better this is.

377
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: And I was just like, what a beautiful TV mode.

378
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: What a train wreck?

379
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: And I think we finished the second off going ladies general,

380
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: We're so sorry about that.

381
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: The funny thing is she's five blocks down the street

382
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: and we can't get this right. It was kind of

383
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: a little digging out producers.

384
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: Going guys like, yeah, we're in twenty twenty, Like, come on,

385
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: technologies advanced now, we could have done this.

386
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: On our phone.

387
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but whatever, as TV happens, and it's like, at

388
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: the end of the day, you got to remember only

389
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: making TV.

390
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 3: We're not saving lives.

391
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: So this is one thing that I've heard you say

392
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: before and I love it. And you're all about chasing

393
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: what's fun and you can feel that in like who

394
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: you are as a person, but also in like having

395
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: Like when you said yes doing this podcast, I was like, Okay,

396
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: time to bing binge. Consume as much Scott content as

397
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: I can. And your whole vibe and like ethos is

398
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: like light fun. There is that like hilar cheekiness.

399
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like pushing the boundaries.

400
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: It's I kind of don't like probably the biggest weakness

401
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: of myself as I overthink when I've got certain.

402
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: Gigs coming up.

403
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll try and think of like, oh, as

404
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: an executive or is the network or as a team

405
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 2: watching me right now? And I know this is more

406
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: of a premium event, so I better not post this

407
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 2: smartest thing I want to post. Oh yeah, but the

408
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: real me wants to post that. Yeah, and they're kind

409
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 2: of hiring me knowing that that's.

410
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: The real me.

411
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 4: So yeah, someone's get.

412
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: In my head a little bit too much, and like

413
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: will overthink not being the normal cheeky, smart ass person

414
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: that I am.

415
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: So yesterday you're going to laugh. I'm saying this to you.

416
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: I was going for a high Griffith Park and I

417
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: was on the phone talking to my mate and I

418
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: looked out at the ground and there was a giant

419
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: black dildo on the ground. Right, I shit you not.

420
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:05,879

Speaker 1: friend because she was having a really hard time and

424
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: having a really serious conversation with me, and I was like, yo,

425
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: I waited for it. If me he's talking, I was like,

426
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: check your phone and she's like, how did you stay

427
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,240

428
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: my boyfriend is in Australia, and I was like, oh,

429
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: this is the perfect message and image to wake up to,

430
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: and so like I sent it to him and I

431
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,160

00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: I really want to put that on my stories because

434
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: it's like funny, right really? And I didn't, but he did,

435
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: and like he was like, oh my old people are

436
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: going nuts for this day. But I kind of like

437
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: control because.

438
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 3: Of what you're thinking about your deals and your brand.

439
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm like, I don't want to offend anybody,

440
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: although I've offended everybody by getting vaccinated.

441
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: In the last five years, it's been the time to

442
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: shine for sex boys, like no one gives a.

443
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: Shit a motly abby chat filter.

444
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: Like it's super com like I would. Yeah, it's basically

445
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: for me. I think there shouldn't be any gray area.

446
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: I think when we were when we were in I

447
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 2: won't name where, but we're in a hair and makeup

448
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: room for a TV production, and literally all the females

449
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: in there were having almost like tupple wear parties but

450
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 2: sex toy parties and talking about it openly. So they

451
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: should like yeah, yeah, yeah, I think there shouldn't be

452
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: a taboo around them.

453
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: Oh no, there's totally there is completely now I feel

454
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: like totally accepted. But I was just like there was

455
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: something that held me back putting that on my story.

456
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like I get it. You

457
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: don't want to like piss off big dogs that are

458
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: paying you money, right Yeah, but yeah, so.

459
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 3: Likewise, I've got a filter.

460
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: Especially doing a lot of live TV, you sort of

461
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 2: know what you can and can't do.

462
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: I've got a great swearing filter.

463
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: Oh you're allowed to swear on this, by the way, Yeah, yeah,

464
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: go for gold.

465
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 2: I'm not a massive swear I think it helps the story.

466
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 2: But for me, yeah, I've got that filter. But there

467
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 2: is that inner, smarter ass for me that wants to

468
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 2: come out more and I really work on that.

469
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 3: Just let it, let it go all the time. It's

470
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 3: like who cares like?

471
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: And I think that's being part of my LA journey

472
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 2: as well, is just really digging into that and going.

473
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: Who you are?

474
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think I've seen eighty percent of it,

475
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: but I just want that one hundred percent.

476
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let it, let it fly. I have to ask,

477
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: You've done so many amazing red carpet events, like the

478
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: Actor Awards, the Arias. That's the thing, like, out of

479
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: everything I've consumed, like of all the everything that you've

480
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: done in your amazing career, that would scare the Bejesus

481
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: out of me because you've got to know so much content.

482
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: You get a really small amount of time with this

483
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: actor or a singer or artist. It's like like what

484
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: if I've heard you've called snow patrol coldplate?

485
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: Oh god, just stats. It's a favorite story of all time.

486
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: I've interviewed Snow Patrol three times. On the fourth time,

487
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: I was being a once again a bit of a

488
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: smart ass with some of the crew and I was saying,

489
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: so I was with us to the Melbourne crew.

490
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 3: We never worked with.

491
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: Were always filmed in Sydney, so we're down there for

492
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: a gig, and then snow Patrol was coming and I

493
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: was like, these guys are funny. So I was telling

494
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 2: the crew we're filming with the poor Man's Coldplay. Yeah,

495
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: And I just had said that so like so many

496
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: times in the last hour when they were there, it

497
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: just came out of my mouth.

498
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 3: I didn't say that.

499
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: I was like, ladies and gentlemen, here's cock. And I

500
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 2: actually stopped myself. The first take so good, and then

501
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: Gary light Year was like, you.

502
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: Were about to say fucking cock, won't you. I was like, oh,

00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 3: that would be funny. I was like in my head,

504
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 3: I was like no, I was about to say cold play.

505
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 3: And I was like, no, no, no, let's do it again.

506
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: Let's do it again.

507
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 3: So we're all laughing because he was like, this guy

508
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 3: was going to say cock. Tweets to say cock, and

509
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 3: I was like, I wasn't gonna say cock Gary. So

510
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 3: I was like and I was like, here they are

511
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,359

00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 2: Fuck it, and then yeah he literally the band lost it,

513
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: like pierced themselves laughing, and they were like, I think

514
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: he was like twenty three.

515
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: Years I knew this was good happen.

516
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: And I was like and then like just from the

517
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: label was just like tweety, how could you?

518
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, yes, I don't know. Anyways,

519
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: let's do it again, let's get this done.

520
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: And that clip was played over and over again in

521
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: our music show.

522
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, lost a lot of cred that day.

523
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: No, I love it. I love it. I love it.

524
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: But so when you are like in like a gay

525
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: mode and like pressure is freaking high and you're like

526
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: all suited up, feeling great, looking great, head of the

527
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: red carpet, how the f do you prepare for that? Judas?

528
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: Judas like, yeah.

529
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 3: So much homework.

530
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 2: So for me, I have to like know everything. I

531
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 2: want to know as much information as possible. I do

532
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: get not freaked out, but I hate when someone gets

533
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: put in front of you and you've got no idea

534
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 2: who they are, which happens sometimes is always a guest

535
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 2: or a surprise person that rocks up and you're.

536
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: Like, who the bloody hell's is? And also some.

537
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: Really notable people as well that you do know who

538
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: they are, like Sir Bob Geldof came to the arias one.

539
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 3: You know he was coming. I know who he is,

540
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 3: but I didn't know what he was there for.

541
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: But then you ask that question, do you kind of

542
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 2: just use that as your content and you're like, well,

543
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: this is a bloody surprise, so Bob Geldof, it's like,

544
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: is this your first ARIA Awards? Once again, normally you

545
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: should say like, oh, how you feel about your first one?

546
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: Then they'll shut you down, But you just got to

547
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 2: ask that question and then you start talking about it.

548
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: So for me, it's always about over preparing. The more

549
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 2: you know, the more preparation you do, which then also

550
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: proves that you're, you know, very professional at your job

551
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: and people enjoy working with you because you know so

552
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: much about who you're talking to. And also you've got

553
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 2: to break it down to every individual in front of you.

554
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 2: They're there for a reason, they're there celebrating something, they're

555
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: very talented, and they've probably got a really good story.

556
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 3: So the more work you put in pre the event.

557
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: You don't use ninety percent of it, but it's there

558
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: just in the background in case the conversation goes.

559
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: Somewhere there's that awesome I think it's Bruce mcaveaney. I'm

560
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: saying that right, the sports commentator, and he's like, he's like,

561
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: know your content so well that you can just throw

562
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: it away and run with the guest.

563
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: Yep, oh I love. Yeah, you don't even want to

564
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 3: think about what your questioned.

565
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: I know if I'm not prepared for a red carpet

566
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 2: because I'm thinking about my questions, then if I know

567
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: everything about every single person that's on that carpet, then it's.

568
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 3: Just like catching up with mates.

569
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so good.

570
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 4: And because also there's like little things I'll give you,

571
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 4: little little bombs, or you might be like, twenty seconds

572
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 4: before that interview, you see something on their social media

573
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 4: or see something in an article you hadn't seen until

574
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 4: that point.

575
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 3: You're like, I got to ask that.

576
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah.

577
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: But I hate I don't really like red carpets because

578
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 2: they're unless you're that main person for the network, you

579
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: get time with it with the artists or the talent,

580
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 2: but other than that.

581
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: You're like a little sheep in like a little pen

582
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 3: and it's like next, next, next, and you're like, oh,

583
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 3: you can't form any connection with them.

584
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: What's really hard to Yeah, I mean, and I've seen

585
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: you get such a small little window that it's just

586
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: like and you've got one question and you've probably camped

587
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: out there for four or five hours, and it's like

588
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: far out I imagine that'd be.

589
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 2: But it's all part of the job and we love

590
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 2: doing it. But it's now after years and years of

591
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 2: doing that. And then also my dream was always into

592
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: that for E, and since getting the job at E,

593
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: red carpets don't really exist anymore.

594
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: They're not really a thing. So that was for me.

595
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, I'm kind of done with

596
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: red carpets now and like what's next or what I

597
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: want to do or I still like doing them for

598
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 2: special events.

599
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: And that's my neck that brings me my next question.

600
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: I heard that you were like super inspired by Ryan

601
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,959
Speaker 1: Seacrest and you were like, how does this guy prepare

602
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: for the Oscars? He's so busy, right, and you hunted

603
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: down like Laura.

604
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: Slovan Lawa is such a gem.

605
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 2: So basically I was getting ready for my first ever

606
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: ARIA Awards and it's my first time on primetime TV

607
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: for Channel ten. And once again I was like, I

608
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: need to prep so much, and I need to you know,

609
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 2: weeks in events know the process of how to nail this,

610
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 2: because I was.

611
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 3: Doing three things that day.

612
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 2: We're doing a pre show for David Jones the Red Carpet,

613
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 2: a loop episode, and then I was doing live for

614
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: Telstra Backstage, which is part of the broadcast, as well

615
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 2: as every presenter and every winner would come off and

616
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 2: I'd go live with them for five minutes in the

617
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: green room, from like in Excess to John Butler Trio

618
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 2: to everyone on anyone. So the pressure was on to

619
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: consume so much information in my head that day where

620
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: I was like, how am I going to do this?

621
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: So I started researching how Seacrest does you know he

622
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: does his pre production, does his prep And there was

623
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: this amazing video on YouTube and so I was watching

624
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 2: that and he had these two awesome ladies next to him,

625
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: so he's getting all pampered. He's all right, ladies, who

626
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: have we got? And they're like Brad and Angelina and

627
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: He's like, okay, I mean, I was Brad this Angelina this,

628
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 2: and then they're curing him and they've got this little

629
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 2: card up which he's got bullet points on it.

630
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like, all right, I see what's

631
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 3: happening here, here's the process. And I was like.

632
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: I watched it again and I was like, I don't

633
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: care about Ryan anymore.

634
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 3: I want to talk to one of those ladies.

635
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 2: I want to know what they're doing weeks in advance,

636
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: what's the pros and how are they getting this information

637
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: into his head? So watched it again, saw one of

638
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: their names, Laura. Looked her up on Twitter. She had

639
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 2: three hundred followers. I was like, yes, if she had

640
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 2: like fifteen thousand.

641
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and publicly tweeted her and I was

642
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 3: just like, hey, Laura, I'd love to chat to you.

643
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: I'm an Australian host. What's your best contact?

644
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 2: The next two hours I looked up who Laura was,

645
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: and you know, she's a senior producer here in Los Angeles,

646
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 2: producer Seacrest all the time.

647
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 3: So I was basically like, this is the chick I

648
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 3: need to talk to. It went to bed, worke up.

649
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 3: The next morning.

650
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: She started following me, DMed me, and from there we

651
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: just became really close. The next time I came to La,

652
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 2: she took a few days off work or she was freelanced,

653
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: so she blocked that out and took me around to

654
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: every executive she knew.

655
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: She was just like, I believe in you.

656
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 2: She's like, I think you're awesome, but you're also the

657
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 2: first person in the world to reach out to me

658
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: and not Ryan. And she's like, I think you're really

659
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: smart doing that. So I'm just going to invest time

660
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 2: into you. And essentially she got me the E job.

661
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is it's also a testament to your work

662
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: ethic as well, and kind of like thinking outside the

663
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: box a little bit. And I, yeah, I think it's amazing.

664
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: So okay, so take me through from loop to E

665
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: because like you will live in the dream in Bondai.

666
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people would love that.

667
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was awesome.

668
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 2: Like I had such a good life in Australia and

669
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: I loved everything I did in Australia and I wanted

670
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: to do and I still want to do more on

671
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: Australian TV. But America is a dream, bigger audience, bigger budget,

672
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: bigger everything.

673
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's just it's not about it, and

674
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 3: it's like I have always since I've.

675
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: Been twenty one. I moved to Melbourne for prank Patrol,

676
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: then Sydney. I like new cities, I like being uncomfortable.

677
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: I like networking fast and meeting Aussies and people in

678
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: the city in other cities. So basically, yeah, what got

679
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: me the job with E was lies. I had to

680
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: say one big fat lie and that got me the job.

681
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: So I'd met with them now.

682
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: The first time I flew over with Laura was meeting

683
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: number one, and I met with the team. I met

684
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: many different networks and they were all just taking that

685
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: meeting because they loved Laura.

686
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: They didn't give a shit about me.

687
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: Really still, you would have learned from every exactly.

688
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 2: It was great, but you can tell you can read

689
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: the room and you're like, I'm not going to get

690
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 2: a gig with these guys, but you never know.

691
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 3: You never know.

692
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: But the one that's stuck was EAT and they were like, look,

693
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: we think you're great. We've got nothing for you right now,

694
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: but keep in touch. And so every six or twelve

695
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: months I'd send them updated show reels and just go, hey, guys,

696
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: how are you doing. If I was in La for

697
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: a junket. I'd try and catch up with them, taking

698
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 2: them some Tim Tams and have.

699
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 3: A little chat.

700
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: Was that your go to?

701
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: They bloody loved Tim Dams easy, best five bucks I've

702
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: ever spent.

703
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 3: Good.

704
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: And then it was probably my fourth time chatting to

705
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 2: them where it was actually skyped into Australia and they

706
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: were like, look, you keep coming up.

707
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 3: One thing I got to tell you. We won't sponsor you.

708
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 3: You've got to get your own visa.

709
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 2: You've got to be here like be in La and

710
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: then we can use you can throw you on carpets.

711
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: So I started the process of.

712
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 2: Getting an O one and as you know, any visa

713
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: in America is a huge pain in the ass. It's expensive,

714
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 2: and I just had more and more work being thrown

715
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: at me from Channel ten that I kind of just

716
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: fell off. I was like, ah, I started it, and

717
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: you've got to get ten letters from like CEOs of

718
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: Sony Universal Music Channel ten. It's hard work. So I

719
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: kind of half did it and then just didn't really apply.

720
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 2: And then another eight months to twelve months, I don't

721
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 2: really know the timeline, but a random email out of

722
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 2: the blue from the head of casting and he was

723
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: just like, hey, Scott, you just came up in a brainstorm.

724
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 3: Where's your visa at?

725
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: And it was that moment I was like, well, if

726
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: I tell him the truth, I'll get taken off the pile.

727
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: So I was just like, Okiday, Kyle, how I made

728
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 2: visas good to go? And I was like, also, and

729
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 2: this is totally coincidental. In two weeks, I'm in LA

730
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: for two weddings. I've got back to back weddings. So

731
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: if you guys want to catch up with me, I'd

732
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: love to see you. And he's like, oh my gosh,

733
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: can you please come in? So I get on a

734
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: phone to a lawyer. I'm like, how quick can I

735
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: get a No?

736
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 3: One visa?

737
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: And he's like eight weeks? And I was like can

738
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: you do it too? And he's like impossible, Like I

739
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: definitely cannot. And I was like cool. I paid the deposit.

740
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: I was like to start the process. So I'm like

741
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: hustling fast to get everything done. Fly over there, have

742
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: wedding number one. Then I have my meeting with the

743
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: new executive producer that came from the Today Show, and

744
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: I read and done research. She was opening up all

745
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: these new E shows based out of New York City,

746
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 2: so I knew.

747
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: They were hiring, and I was like, this is a

748
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 3: great opportunity.

749
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: So I go in there after this wedding and basically

750
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 2: I I'm trying to remember the process, walk in there,

751
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: give her Tim Tams meet.

752
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: I smart this Tim tam trick.

753
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 3: I like, yeah, it worked well.

754
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 2: And Tammy's good friend was Curtis Stone, so she already

755
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: has this rapport with Ossie's. Her dream place to live

756
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: in the world is BONDI beach. I'm like, you should

757
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 2: just move and we just connected. And in that meeting, though,

758
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 2: I had to look at her in the eye and

759
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: she's like, You've got a visa And I was like, yes, Now,

760
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: this wasn't a complete lie because I have a visa.

761
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,479
Speaker 2: I had a visa in my passport, which is an

762
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: Australian visa.

763
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: It's called the I think it's a letter. Let's just

764
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 3: say it's the V one whatever. It means.

765
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: You're Australian media and you can go in and out

766
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: of America as many times as.

767
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 3: You want for five years, but you can never get

768
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: paid for a minute.

769
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 2: Yeah that's right, right, So it meant for a Channel

770
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: ten for junkets I can come over here all the time.

771
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: And you're making Ausie dollars totally.

772
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 2: So her question to me was you have a visa

773
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: and I said yes, she knows what type of visa.

774
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: I was like yes, so I kind of had said

775
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: that to her and she's like, cool, well, when are

776
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: you here for the next few days? And I was

777
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 2: like no, literally, I've only blocked this out. I've got

778
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: another wedding, got to get on a plane back to

779
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: Channel ten. I'm back on air. And she was like,

780
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 2: so you can't give us any more time and I

781
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: was like no, and she's like oh, She's like, well,

782
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: in that case, can I meet this other executive now?

783
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: So I met this other lady called Jen, spoke to

Speaker 2: They'd done a big farewell show, like I was done

877
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 2: and dusted.

878
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,680

00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: I was like, and then you're based in New York, right, so.

880

881
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 2: two weeks, I ended up giving them I think three weeks.

882
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 3: It was like three and a half weeks.

883
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 2: But there was one weekend once again where I couldn't

884
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 2: let Channel ten know what I was doing because it's

00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: was like, how do you feel about moving to New York?

941
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 2: So it was a massive spanner in the works, but

942
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: it helped me out.

943
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 3: Her best friend lived in New York.

944
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 2: She also came over over Christmas time just to see

945
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: how it was for my first week on air, and

946
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: just like New York experience that. Yeah, it was just

947
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 2: after us, so we had New Year's Eve there and

948
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 2: so that went great. And she's like, cool, Well, what

949
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 2: I'll do is i will finish my project I'm on

950
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: and I'll come out in June.

951
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 3: And I was like, cool, I'll split the difference. I'll

952
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 3: flow home for Easter.

953
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, do a week back at home, and then you know,

954
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: it's three months apart, three months apart, and then yeah,

955
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 2: this wonderful year of COVID was a massive spanner in

956
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: the works, which at that time as well, I got.

957
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 2: I strategically got an apartment where I knew I was

958
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 2: getting up at three point thirty every morning, so I

959
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 2: had to find an apartment where the shower wasn't near

960
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 2: the bedroom so Maddie could sleep in big enough, big

961
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 2: enough for two two people, you know, and Manhattan apartments

962
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 2: aren't cheap. So I was like, first year, I'll splurge

963
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 2: a little bit and make sure it's a nice apartment

964
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: because once again, I want to just.

965
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 3: Crush my job. And then yeah, like two months in.

966
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: COVID, happened before that, before the COVID hit. Can you

967
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: just talk about where your studio is?

968
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: So it's thirty Rock, Yeah, on Level six, across from

969
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon's studios.

970
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: So we were on the left. We were like a

971
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 3: shoe box studio, but he was that whole side.

972
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 2: Every day walking into work, you would see anyone from

973
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: Justin Bieber.

974
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 1: I heard you throw warming up, like do it.

975
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 3: Just our dressing rooms opposite.

976
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 2: We're so far beyond where their security team up, so

977
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 2: it's like everyone's comfortable around there, which means you can't

978
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 2: film anything. You've got to be a very professional. But yeah,

979
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 2: our green room is like one wall away from where

980
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 2: Biber or whoever it was. The A listers have their

981
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 2: green room and there's a piano in there, and one

982
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 2: day we just heard it playing and then we heard

983
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 2: bieb just belting out of tune and we're all like,

984
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: you know, you.

985
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 3: Like quite whisper, and you're like, oh my go, do.

986
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: You know what I would have lost my ship with?

987
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: Though SNL right below you the letter? Did you ever

988
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: see any of those that game.

989
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 3: We saw a few of them. But yeah, there's such

990
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 3: a big operation as well.

991
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 2: Funnily enough, getting a job with NBC Addie in that

992
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 2: building and you still can't get tickets SNL. They are

993
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 2: the hardest tickets to get in America.

994
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: That makes it feel a little bit better.

995
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that, trust me, guys. I had every frame going

996
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: and you can now get us SNL tickets.

997
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, I can't even get myself. So but we

998
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 3: could walk in and out of their studio.

999
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: All the time.

1000
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: We had the past to go around there. So that

1001
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 2: was also one of those moments where you're like, this

1002
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: is so awesome.

1003
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 3: The cafeteria at NBC.

1004
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 2: Oh man, the cafeteria is like you walk in there

1005
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: and they've got like chefs for every type of food

1006
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 2: in the world. No, and it's like discount of food

1007
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 2: on your sweat once again, you can tell like the

1008
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 2: boy from Brizzie so excited.

1009
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 3: I was like, just food, It's incredible. I can get

1010
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 3: sushi over there, I can get like Asian later, I

1011
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 3: can get Mexican. I can get these onmelets made custom

1012
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 3: to my how I like them. It was everything under

1013
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 3: the sun. I was so.

1014
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: Excited Okay, I could talk to you all freaking day,

1015
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: but I do want to know. So what made you

1016
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: win COVID hit Like obviously your girlfriends on the other

1017
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: side of the world, so you're torn for heart wise,

1018
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: and then like you're not allowed to go into studio

1019
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 1: to record for e No.

1020
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 2: Because thirty Rock as well had an NBC producer pass

1021
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: away early in COVID, so it was very much a

1022
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 2: blacklisted building yeap, and it took six months to even

1023
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 2: let the news team and the Today Show just host

1024
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 2: go in, so we were way down that list.

1025
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 3: The order was like then SNL.

1026
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: Fallon, then we were like at least another three shows

1027
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 2: down that list.

1028
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, But for me it was because I'd.

1029
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 2: Done all this strip back filming for so many years

1030
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 2: in Australia.

1031
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 3: It was like I was like playing to my strengths.

1032
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 3: I was like, well, here we go.

1033
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: So they had it, even bringing a full live camera

1034
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 2: set up into my one bedroom apartment in like hazmat suits,

1035
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 2: and then they moved out and then there we are.

1036
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 3: That was like welding live TV from.

1037
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 2: Our homes, but it also meant doing other content just

1038
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 2: from our own apartments.

1039
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 3: So this is where I was shining. I was like,

1040
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 3: this is it? I love this.

1041
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 2: So then he created a show for me which I

1042
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 2: sort of helped them bring from the ground up, and

1043
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 2: it was called Happy Hours. It was a live cocktail

1044
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 2: show where we get some of the biggest slebs in

1045
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 2: the world. I custom make a cocktail for them depending

1046
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 2: on who they were, race down to my little grocery

1047
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 2: store and make that. So I was like googling the

1048
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 2: most fancy cocktails funny.

1049
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 3: So that was really good.

1050
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: But then it just got to the point where it's

1051
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 2: very expensive to keep paying our team a live TV

1052
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 2: show is a big team for so many months when

1053
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 2: not earning revenue, And for me it made total sense,

1054
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 2: like we were so new, they hadn't even done our

1055
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: marketing campaign.

1056
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 3: We're going to.

1057
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 2: Wait three months to were on air and then push it.

1058
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 2: So they were just like, we'll save that money. So Scott,

1059
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 2: you go and joined the LA teams. Is like a

1060
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 2: benchwarmer and we'll see what happens from there.

1061
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: But my question is to you, obviously you've got tenacity, drive, courage.

1062
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: What made you go stuff it? Yeah, I'm going to

1063
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: go to LA. I'm going to chase this dream in

1064
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: LA and not go oh, I could go back to Brizzy.

1065
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: There's like way less COVID in Australia. At that stage

1066
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: of the game, it felt really safe. Australia was like

1067
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: this little bubble. You know what made you go, I'm

1068
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: not done in America like I'm going to LA.

1069
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: It comes down to I'm really comfortable being uncomfortable, and

1070
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 2: I've realized that in the last couple of years.

1071
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: Thank you, Yoda.

1072
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 3: That is very good, very much. You use that as

1073
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 3: a quote on the picture of this. But I just

1074
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 3: I was loving not knowing what was happening next.

1075
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 2: And I think it started when Manhattan was hit hard

1076
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 2: with COVID and there was this freak out where everyone

1077
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 2: didn't know what was happening.

1078
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 3: We saw all these people in China dying. There was

1079
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 3: rumors running around.

1080
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 2: There shutting off all the subways, closing off all the

1081
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,919
Speaker 2: bridge is going to lock Manhattan in. And I think

1082
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 2: it was a blessing for me that I had other

1083
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 2: Aussie friends in New York where we're like, no, let's

1084
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 2: stick this out together, but let's just do this. If

1085
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 2: they all had a run home, it would have made

1086
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 2: me second guess what to do. I'm also lucky that

1087
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 2: my family just supports whatever I believe in, so they're like,

1088
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 2: you do you? I do know. At the time, a

1089
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 2: lot of other families in Australia were like, you're a dickhead,

1090
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 2: Like get back to Australia.

1091
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 3: Why are you in America. It's a war zone there.

1092
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 2: There's dead bodies everywhere, there's these mass graves. And I

1093
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 2: was like, and after like a week or two, you know,

1094
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 2: you notice fifty percent of Manhattan had gone to their

1095
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 2: Hampton's homes or their family home, so it was probably

1096
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: even less than that. There's probably forty percent of residence left,

1097
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 2: and we were all stuck at home. But then the

1098
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 2: highlight of my day was getting a coffee every day,

1099
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 2: and when you're walking down you just start chatting to

1100
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 2: anyone because you wanted this human connection.

1101
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 3: And I was like, I like this, Like there's something

1102
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 3: about this that I really like.

1103
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 2: This part of where you could ride around a pushbike

1104
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 2: down Fifth Avenue and there's not one car there, And

1105
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 2: I was like, when will I.

1106
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 3: Ever get to see New York like this ever again?

1107
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 3: With no people?

1108
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 2: There was one moment one night, at ten pm, I

1109
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 2: walked down into Broadway and I did not see one soul,

1110
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 2: not one human being, you know, looking as far as

1111
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 2: I can north and south, didn't see anyone. So I

1112
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 2: was like, this is a pretty special moment. Then on

1113
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 2: top of that, there was a Black Lives Matters, you know,

1114
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 2: things started to warm up again. There are all those protests,

1115
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 2: which led to you know, once again all the horrific

1116
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 2: stuff happening below my apartment. But once again I was like,

1117
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 2: I don't feel scared in this moment. There's parts where

1118
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 2: you know, I might be a little bit worried if

1119
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 2: our building catches on fire, but because they were lighting

1120
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 2: all the bins around us. But at the same time,

1121
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 2: it was this I thought, like a beautiful moment between

1122
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 2: human beings where these people have been hurting for so long,

1123
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 2: and it was like they're voicing up about this hurt.

1124
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 2: And every day I would go down to Washington Square

1125
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 2: Park about three pm and walk with his protests until

1126
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 2: once it got dark, I was like, I'm going home

1127
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 2: straight away, except what's gonna happen? But that was only

1128
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 2: those looters, which is a small percent of people. But

1129
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: once again you had a question why they were doing this,

1130
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 2: These people that are frustrated at the system, which has

1131
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 2: just let them down for so many years of their

1132
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 2: whole lives. So there's these moments in the last twelve

1133
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 2: months that have been very hard, but also some of

1134
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 2: the most precious moments. I'll never forget my life, and

1135
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 2: I just wouldn't for anything, even for a job fly

1136
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 2: back home, because I'm enjoying being here and going well,

1137
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 2: this is challenging and this is not easy.

1138
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,240
Speaker 3: I've had a really easy run for eleven years.

1139
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to do my best work the

1140
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 2: next couple of years here, bringing out the best in me,

1141
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 2: which will bring out the best in other people as well.

1142
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 2: So that's kind of my philosophy on being here in

1143
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 2: America right now, where everyone back at home is like

1144
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 2: Australia is the best We've got no COVID, you're fucking idiots.

1145
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 2: Well now look at Australia right now. It's hard to

1146
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 2: watch that. And I don't want to be one of

1147
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 2: those guys like you could do, because I'm like, I know,

1148
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 2: it hurts guys, it sucks.

1149
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:03,240
Speaker 3: It's not easy.

1150
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 2: It's not a fun period, especially in the creative industries, tourism.

1151
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,479
Speaker 3: Small businesses. It sucks. So yeah, it's a really nice

1152
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 3: moment to be here.

1153
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: Do you know what A friend of mine who's also Australian,

1154
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: he's been here, like I think eleven years, and we

1155
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: caught up the other day and I said, I really

1156
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: feel like I'm being confronted all the time here, but

1157
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: I love that feeling. So it's kind of what you

1158
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: were just describing. And I said, but I also feel

1159
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: like I'm changing as a human, Like I'm like, I

1160
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm toughening up, or my driver is stronger,

1161
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,720
Speaker 1: or I don't know what it is. And he's like, babe,

1162
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: he's like, you will never be the same again, Like

1163
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: it just you won't be He's like, you watch everything

1164
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: will be different in your life now. And I was like, oh,

1165
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: I like this, but you can feel that here and I.

1166
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 3: Think it's a community.

1167
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,240
Speaker 2: It's a community here which is built from us being Australian.

1168
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 2: So we have such strong community at home, so we've

1169
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 2: brought that over here.

1170
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, in New York was this really.

1171
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 2: Strong community of Ossie's, but then also a lot of

1172
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 2: Americans associated to that, and the same thing here in

1173
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 2: LA it's the same sort of community and that's what

1174
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 2: we have to be so thankful for being Australians.

1175
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 3: And it's the cafe culture.

1176
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 2: I'm not even bullshiting, ye I met half my New

1177
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 2: York friends at a Ossie cafe. Yeah, and that community

1178
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 2: around that, but that sport I think is number one

1179
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 2: for Ossie's being just legends. And that's been really hard

1180
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 2: watching back in Australia at the moment where there's a

1181
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,280
Speaker 2: lot of conflict between groups of anti vaxes and vaccine.

1182
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 2: It's like it's like you're seeing a country sort of

1183
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: fight against each other or a state versus state, like

1184
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 2: blocking down the borders. And it's like I'm just a

1185
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 2: little bit scared that we're losing what we are, our

1186
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 2: identity is, and like what we are known for and

1187
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 2: love for around the world. And even yesterday there's this

1188
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 2: bloody article and Pedestrian TV where they've picked out probably

1189
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 2: ten comments there could be hundreds but whatever of Americans

1190
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 2: criticizing that Australian coach boxing celebrating and they're like, you know,

1191
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 2: they're saying nasty things.

1192
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so the topic of the article was like

1193
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 3: a pedestrian.

1194
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 2: Was like, you know, Americans think Australian coach is a

1195
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 2: bloody dickhead.

1196
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 3: So you can go f yourself.

1197
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 2: And I was like, why are you trying to start

1198
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 2: this Australia versus America, Like you don't have to do that.

1199
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 3: Of course there's dickhead Americas.

1200
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 2: The Australians everywhere, but like, don't assume any because then

1201
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 2: that subtless negative comments under it about Ossie's going, well

1202
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,280
Speaker 2: fuck America, like oh, yeah, you've got guns and schools.

1203
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 3: Yes, God, America's got so many problems.

1204
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just don't like this of our Australian identity.

1205
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 2: We're becoming those people that it's like thinking we're bigger

1206
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 2: and better than everyone else, were less COVID than everyone else,

1207
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 2: so we're like the world's fucked, We're awesome. It's like, no,

1208
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 2: we are such a good country and we produce so

1209
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 2: many good people.

1210
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 3: We've got to keep that up, keep being proud of

1211
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 3: our people.

1212
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: Oh I love it.

1213
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's for me, is like the DNA of being

1214
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 3: an Aussie. I think that's why.

1215
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 2: And I think you and I we get you know,

1216
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 2: we get so many opportunities here in America because exactly that.

1217
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 1: Like I also think, well, with the like Ossie camaraderie here,

1218
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: it's really hard to get here. Like for an Australian,

1219
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: you've got to get the visa right. You talked about

1220
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 1: like having to fear about your one.

1221
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 3: Totally.

1222
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: It took me three years to get my green card.

1223
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: Like it's freaking hard and so expensive, even.

1224
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 2: So expensive and even with a job at a TV now, guys,

1225
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 2: it's hard. I'm investing a lot of your money but

1226
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 2: also a lot of your time and opportunities back at

1227
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 2: home to go. I'm doing this, but the visa thing,

1228
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 2: and then there's also the social You have no idea

1229
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 2: if you're going to move.

1230
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 3: Here, you have no idea.

1231
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 2: It's a vast America once again, they I was paying

1232
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 2: my remp with a paper check.

1233
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: Like I'm paying mine with a pay per check, and

1234
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: I do my laundry down in the basement. Like yeah,

1235
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: it's very with quarters.

1236
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,439
Speaker 2: At quarters, but that's why you then fall in love

1237
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 2: with living here because it's so hard to get here.

1238
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, and I that's what I love about it. Okay,

1239
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: final question and the I'm gonna let you go because

1240
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: this place is turning into a sweatbox.

1241
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 3: I like it. It's like Bickram podcast.

1242
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,240
Speaker 1: You know, because I've turned up, closed the windows Okay.

1243
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: Final question is for people listening that are like, fuck

Speaker 1: you know, chase a dream like you. What advice would

1246
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: you have for people like that are just like, won't

1247
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 1: be in your.

1248
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 3: Industry guys, I'm living and breathing it right now.

1249
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 2: So it's I've got amazing opportunities coming up which I

1250
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 2: can't talk.

1251
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 3: About, and particularly some back in Australia as well.

1252
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 2: So I've set myself up nicely career wised, but there's

1253
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 2: this whole other direction I want to go in, and

1254
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 2: I'm like you, You've got to just bloody go and

1255
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 2: do it. Like literally, in media right now, there's no

1256
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 2: better time. With TikTok, with Twitter, with Twitch, with YouTube,

1257
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 2: with Instagram, you can do whatever you want and you

1258
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 2: can build a community.

1259
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 3: It's got to be authentic. So right now I'm doing that.

1260
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 2: I'm sort of planning what my next moves after the

1261
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 2: next five years, what do I actually want to do,

1262
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 2: And then I'm just going out and filming. I'll go

1263
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 2: out the front of my place at Venice right now

1264
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 2: with a tripod.

1265
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: I've seen you do this as vegimine or something.

1266
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 2: It's just just started like I'm trying to once again,

1267
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 2: when I'm defining what I want to do, I was like,

1268
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 2: I want to just sort of feel out the characters

1269
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,439
Speaker 2: around us here in America, and they are just there's

1270
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 2: so much talent. They're so raw, They're so vulnerable and raw,

1271
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable.

1272
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 1: Americans have no filter too. Like I think Australians were

1273
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 1: quite put together. Americans are like very direct, very forward,

1274
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: very like I wear this, I live in this Alabama

1275
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: football T shirt every time without foul. If I go

1276
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: to Trader Joe's wearing it, they're like, oh, your voice

1277
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: doesn't match that football team, and like we have this

1278
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: whole conversation about Australia versus Alabama football. And I'm like,

1279
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,760
Speaker 1: like they're just there's no filter. Is in Australia people

1280
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: might think something, but they'll never say it, do you

1281
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean?

1282
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 2: I was to Trader Joe's a Dodger's hat and then

1283
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 2: a blue gym shirt.

1284
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 3: But this girl go to the Blues ye and I

1285
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 3: was like, oh yeah, blue, I wear a blue shirt.

1286
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely Blues is like the Dodgers like that they got

1287
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 2: the Blues.

1288
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 3: And I was like, I got the boos.

1289
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,959
Speaker 1: I was wearing an at home Angels cap just because

1290
00:53:57,960 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: I love the red cap with the A on it,

1291
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: and they're like angels like as I'm the dude like

1292
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 1: stocking the aisles at Traders, and I was like, I'm

1293
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: not from here, like and then we had a full

1294
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 1: blown conversation about he's explaining to me how the angels

1295
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: are going.

1296
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so look to look back in apart from going

1297
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 2: to Trader Joe's and wearing stuff, which is great though,

1298
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 2: I've built my career on just being a go getter,

1299
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 2: on filming, producing, writing and making my own stuff, and

1300
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 2: then I've had amazing opportunities that go with that at

1301
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 2: the right time, because there's a lot of timing as well.

1302
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 3: But if you're serious about it and you're.

1303
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 2: Really hungry, and once again, you've got to listen to

1304
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 2: feedback about I'm still of putting out content where I

1305
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,359
Speaker 2: think I'm good at it and then just going it's

1306
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 2: not hitting the mark, No one gives a shit. So

1307
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,240
Speaker 2: you've got to read signs as well read your audience.

1308
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, if you're really

1309
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 2: passionate about what you're doing and you're good at it,

1310
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 2: or get getting better at it, You'll get a gig

1311
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 2: for sure, it just might take a longer time. It's

1312
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 2: you know, there's no formula to it. But we're in

1313
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 2: the best point ever right now where you can build

1314
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 2: your own audience and you can fast track things.

1315
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 3: TikTok is ridiculous.

1316
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 1: You love TikTok.

1317
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 3: Following and you can do awesome stuff on it.

1318
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1319
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 2: Once again, it's just one of these I think there's

1320
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 2: no better time. And I'm trying to help friends have

1321
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 2: small businesses right now transition to make TikTok content and

1322
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable, Like watching the results is like and Instagram's

1323
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:23,959
Speaker 2: doing it with reels as well. If you're not posting reels,

1324
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 2: you're an idiot.

1325
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, reels.

1326
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:29,919
Speaker 2: If an audience isn't your audience to see your staff.

1327
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 3: Make reels totally.

1328
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: Oh, I feel like this is now churning into like

1329
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: a one O one for career help.

1330
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 2: So and they just started sixty second videos as well,

1331
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 2: So that's very handy there.

1332
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: You go, See, what are you going to do after

1333
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: you've done your Dodgers eat as many hot dogs as possible?

1334
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: What's the next?

1335
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 2: I invited the world hot dog eating champion to a

1336
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 2: Dodger's game.

1337
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 3: I didn't ask him to eat the hot dogs. I

1338
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 3: was like, this as my coach.

1339
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 2: He hasn't seen my dms yet, So I'm going to

1340
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 2: just keep going a once a week and being like

1341
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 2: he's only got seventy thousand followers, like, come on, look

1342
00:55:58,800 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 2: at the.

1343
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,280
Speaker 1: Bloody DM and I have to tell you I've discovered

1344
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: an amazing burrito that I need to tell you about

1345
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: here because I know you love a good brecky burrito.

1346
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 3: Love breakfast. We're filming a pilot over here tomorrow which

1347
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 3: is all about breakfast actually for a show.

1348
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, once again, I love I've always loved cooking.

1349
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 2: I'm not a professional cook by any means, but I

1350
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 2: love it. But I think it's a good vehicle to

1351
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 2: have conversations with people, motivate people to get up earlier.

1352
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 2: I'd love to sleep in, so it motivates me as well.

1353
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, once again, I'm passionate about that. But also

1354
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 2: bringing the celebrity element that I've done for eleven years

1355
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 2: into the mix of that, and then I've also done

1356
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 2: a music show for eight years. That's my sort of

1357
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 2: worlds at the moment that I'm playing with in America.

1358
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 2: There's so many opportunities here, so that's what I'm playing with.

1359
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: I really thought we were windings up, but I quickly

1360
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 1: have to say, like Steve Carell, you've interviewed Frandresher, You've

1361
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: interviewed like Rebel Wilson rose Byrn, like Edge Sheering kissed you.

1362
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jerry Seinfeld, let's not forget that. That was My

1363
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:03,280
Speaker 3: favorite COVID interview was either Shack or Jerry Seinfeld. Shack's awesome.

1364
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 3: He's a man you have.

1365
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: Like a fish tank in the back of his car

1366
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: or something crazy.

1367
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 3: Probably that guy's such entrepreneur.

1368
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 2: He's got so many businesses and like a finger in

1369
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 2: every pie is awesome. But Jerry Seinfeld, he can be

1370
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 2: hard to interview sometimes, and he had a special coming

1371
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 2: out on Netflix. I know you're trying to wrap up,

1372
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 2: but we would do these awful interviews on Zoom, which

1373
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 2: is just there's no connection at all, and you're in this.

1374
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 3: Holding pen of all the media in the world, and

1375
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 3: they're like tweety from me News.

1376
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 2: You're in next, and you go from the main room

1377
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 2: into a holding room where there's a white screen. You

1378
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 2: sit there for ten minutes. You have no idea when

1379
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 2: they're going to pop up, so you're kind of.

1380
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 3: Like on but you don't know.

1381
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 2: While I was doing that, I was reading an article

1382
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 2: that Seinfeld had done the day before, and they were like,

1383
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 2: do you like all these people making all these shows

1384
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:50,959
Speaker 2: at home?

1385
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 3: And he goes, I hate it, Like why do you

1386
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 3: hate it?

1387
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 2: And he goes, well, the more interesting someone's home is,

1388
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 2: the more boring I think they are as a person,

1389
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:00,080
Speaker 2: because they're not.

1390
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 3: Out in the world living now.

1391
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 2: The week before I did one of these Netflix junkets

1392
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 2: for e and I had a white wall behind me

1393
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 2: because once again I only half finished my apartment.

1394
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 3: I was waiting for my girlfriend to.

1395
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 2: Get there, and everyone in the media room was laughing like,

1396
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 2: oh tweety, are you getting your passport taken?

1397
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 3: Like o ha ha, there's nothing behind you. So in

1398
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:18,680

1401
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 2: gallery behind me ready for Seinfeld. I've just read that

1402
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,360

1405
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 2: do you think of this background behind me? It's fake

1406
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 2: and I just put it in for this interview.

1407

1408
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 3: looks like a girl did it, and I was like,

1409
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 3: why did it? Because what do you think of my background?

1410
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 2: So then we just started for the next two minutes

1411
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 2: talking about each other's houses.

1412
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 3: And that's what Seinfeld loves.

1413
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to go straight away like tell us

1414
00:58:58,960 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 2: about your Netflix special.

1415
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 3: He likes to talk about nothing. Yeah, but he's funny

1416
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 3: like that.

1417
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 2: So it was a really good for the spare. At

1418
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 2: the moment, Yeah, I was like, looks really expensive. I

1419
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,040

1421
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 3: He's like, certainly is.

1422
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 2: My producers texted me going what are you doing, Like

1423
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 2: hurry up, get to the questions.

1424
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 3: I'm like, we don't need the questions. This is the interview. Yeah,

1425
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 3: we'll do the plug right at the end. I was like,

1426
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 3: this is fine, So okay.

1427
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: I said final question like three questions ago, what's the dream?

1428
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 3: Like?

1429
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: I feel like you've already lived a lot of it.

1430
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 2: I've lived a lot of my dream and the dream

1431
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 2: continuing on now is to continue doing what I do,

1432
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 2: which is like making content hosting where it's necessary.

1433
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 3: But I think my.

1434
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 2: Next steps are to definitely amplify and highlight people that

1435
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 2: are doing awesome things and be a vehicle to help

1436
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 2: you spread that message. So that can be through a

1437
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 2: TV show, that can be through advertising, that can.

1438
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 3: Be through tiktoks.

1439
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 2: I don't really care what screen it's for the next

1440
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 2: ten years of my career now. I want people watching

1441
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 2: it to be entertained by it, to think it's fun

1442
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 2: and enjoy it. But also the vehicle of that for me,

1443
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 2: whether it's an actor, a singer, a small business, whatever,

1444
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 2: spreading it and making it bigger through a fun vehicle.

1445
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:18,680

1474
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:34,760

1475
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,600

1476
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 2: time doing all the training because it's not really my passion.

1477
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 2: If it was my passion. Then I go hard. But

1478
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:43,280

1491
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 2: think I just connect better. I've got two older sisters,

1492
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 2: so I think I've always connected with girls in that regard.

1493
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 2: So like the American Housewives is what I'm going for

1494
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 2: because I just think, well, why an't they like the

1495
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 2: stupid interviews we do?

1496

Speaker 3: But two cook the breakfast.

1497
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: And let's be honest, Americans do love that Ossie vernacular.

1498
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 3: You know who doesn't love it? Their husbands get the
