1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation. You were at the ABC

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Upfronts last night, yes, oh, yesterday, that's right. So I've

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: been filming a couple of shows for the ABC and

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: they were announced yesterday. One of them is called Role

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: of a Lifetime and it's a parenting show that I'm hosting.

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: Kate Richie is involved and a swathe of experts. But

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: what's great about this show is that this is where

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: the first people now or the first generation, were trying

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: to keep their children safe in two realms, in the

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: real world and in the online world. And how terrifying

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: that is for young men. What imagery of masculinity are

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: they getting all the Andrew Tates, etc. What are girls

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: getting in their heads about body image, about tradwives, about anything?

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: And parents feel helpless to help their kids. So this

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: isn't sort of that usual, well dure kind of parenting advice.

16
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: This is cutting edge advice from people who are kids themselves,

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: from parents, from experts, the latest psychology technology. You will

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: learn so much from this show, and it's funny and

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: charming as well. And also I've been filming another show

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: called The Piano, and this show is very very close

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: to my heart. So what happens. We put out a

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: call to like whether it's a refugee center, old people's

23
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: home schools, asking people to come and film a documentary

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: just talking about their love of the piano and their

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: connection to the piano. So we put pianos in, there's

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: a railway station, a shopping center. We filmed in various

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: locations and seventy five people came down to play the

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: piano and to tell their story. And what they didn't

29
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: know was that Andrea Lamb, who's Australia is leading classical pianist,

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: and Harry Connick Junior were just sitting behind a little

31
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: door nearby watching them perform. This isn't a competition, there's

32
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: no chairs turning, there's no judgment. But what they did

33
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: was they found someone's story that really spoke to them.

34
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: And in each episode they asked someone if they'd like

35
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: to be part of a concert, performing on stage with

36
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: them at the end, and we filmed that concert not

37
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: so long ago. You came along to that, Brendan, and

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: it's so moving these people's stories. You scratch the surface,

39
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: and people's stories are uplifting and sad and wonderful, and

40
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: people's connection to music is quite extraordinary. I bored my

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: eyes out filming this and it's heartwarming and lovely and

42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: I can't wait for you to see it next year.

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: I'm just happy that we can talk about it. I've

44
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: been wanting to blab it for ages. Yes, that's great,

45
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: and you're going to be so great. You are so

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: good on TV. Oh this show, thank you. This isn't

47
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: about me, I'm the host of it, but the people

48
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: we met and their stories will really stick with you.

49
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a fantastic show.

50
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: It's about me and you and shoring up our future

51
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: on TV. Me and the ape. You can't even play

52
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: the piano. I can do that thing with my fist

53
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 1: and two fingers. Yeah,
