1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Jump mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: What many of us can say that we've been at

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: the top of our game for years. Peter Overton has

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: been that he's been at Channel nine for thirty years,

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: twelve of those as their news reader. It's extraordinary anniversary

00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: and it joins us. Now, Hello Peter, how are you?

00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: Amanda Jonesy? Lovely to speak to you and have a

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: little soft star with a bit of acadeca to get

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: me pumped up.

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: You love a CD and do you have a sort

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: of a Pavlovian effect when you hear the nine News

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 3: theme coming on? Do you think.

13
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: Any where's my suit jacket?

14
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 4: I met he up my stuff together.

15
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: Yes, makeup now exactly, but no, lovely to talk to

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: you both.

17
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: It must have been amazing, Peter, after all that we've

18
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: been through in recent months to start the news with

19
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: such a great news story last night when with with

20
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: AJ the three year old AJ being.

21
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: Found, Amanda is spot on. It was in my head

22
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: all days. I knew it would be the lead story

23
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: and to not begin with COVID, and you know every

24
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: night we try to begin with a bit We do COVID,

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: but we try to put a bit of hope in

26
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: it somewhere, But last night I think it was the

27
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: story we all really needed. This miracle, this little kid

28
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: and the shots from the police helicopters, the reunion. It

29
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: really was the anatomy of a rescue. Wasn't it to

30
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: see that all unfold because in the past we haven't

31
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: had all that sort of vision telling you how it unfolds.

32
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: But you could really live it and breathe it, and

33
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: then as parents and people who weren't parents could feel

34
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: the emotion as well. I think even from the police

35
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: officers in the chopper their pleasure and their professionalism, and

36
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: it was just thrilling to be able to bring a

37
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: good news story because we haven't had a lot of

38
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: good news to tell lately.

39
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: I've been watching the ABC series The News Reader. Have

40
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: you seen this? It's a dramatization of a newsroom in

41
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: the eighties, but just even the news gathering techniques last

42
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: night or on Sunday Night's show there they were trying

43
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: to there've been the Russell Streek bombing and they had

44
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: to get the tape from the camera and physically take

45
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: it back to the station. In your time as a

46
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: news gatherer, the technology has changed enormously.

47
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: His spot on It's extraordinary the developments. You know, we

48
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: have satellite trucks and link trucks, but now we can

49
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: go anywhere live, anywhere in the world with pictures and

50
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: sound from a thing called a Dejeero. It's like a

51
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: suitcase and it's got four mobile phone sim cards in

52
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: it and if you've got a mobile phone signal, we

53
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: can go anywhere live. We can do FaceTime now into

54
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: our news. Of course. I remember in my early days

55
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: at sixty minutes, so I think it was probably around

56
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: September eleven when I was covering September eleventh. For sixty minutes,

57
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: we would shoot interviews, I'd shoot my pieces to camera,

58
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: we do voiceovers in the hotel room, and then we'd

59
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: literally have to pick up the tape, get in a

60
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: yellowcap in New York, drive across town to CBS, book

61
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: satellite time and satellite home, back to Willoughby to Channel nine.

62
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: So the technology developments have been rapid, and I think

63
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: they will continue to be rapid. So news gathering has

64
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's changed, and a lot of people now

65
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: with mobile phones where you get a lot of your

66
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: vision as you would have seen last night in the news.

67
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: Sure, but is that begets the question, Pete, is that

68
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: a good or bad thing? Because in an era of misinformation, good.

69
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: Question, Jonesy. I think sometimes with the videos that we

70
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: do get, whether you get it from social media wherever,

71
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: it tends to say be bad news. So it's the

72
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: car crash, it's this incident that's not necessarily a happy moment,

73
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: so it's not necessarily fake news. But I still think

74
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: we have a great responsibility to fact check and make

75
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: sure that you're not going to get caught out that

76
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: this is actually true, authentic vision. And as I said,

77
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: sometimes we all tend to go, Wow, that car crash,

78
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: that train crash, that moment, we must run that on

79
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: the news. So it's got that double edge to it.

80
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: But all that deep fake stuff is amazing. All that

81
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: deep fake stuff that you see with Tom Cruise is incredible.

82
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: What do you mean deep fake stuff?

83
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: You haven't seen the deep fake stuff?

84
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: Oh? Yes, yes, yes, yes, exactly. No. I agree, it

85
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: is phenomenal. How they can I thought you were referring

86
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: to an interview. I didn't.

87
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 4: About that. Now put your manners back in Peter.

88
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: Now you have seen that TikTok video. Tom cruise in

89
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: the and he's in a kitchen as washing up.

90
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: And it's not fake recreation.

91
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: It's amazing and that's a scary part of it.

92
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: Hey, Peter, with your twelve years at the head of

93
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: the news, how has your home life worked around that?

94
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: Jonesy and I talk about this with our lives, with

95
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: our strange hours. The household really has to run around

96
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: the discipline of your hours. How does that work with you?

97
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the family dysfunctions.

98
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 5: I mean, I do my radio and preparation in the

99
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 5: morning from home, and then I go go off to work.

100
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 5: I get home about eight o'clock every night. The only

101
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 5: thing I miss is sitting around the dinner table and

102
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 5: having the chat with the kids about their day. But

103
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 5: you missed that with breakfast with your family, and you've

104
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: been doing it for years as well. Everyone understands. I

105
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 5: think the funny part is I'll get home and I say,

106
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 5: did you like the tire war tonight? That was a

107
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 5: lovely blue? And I'll say, what was actually a green?

108
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: Style?

109
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: They're watching Channel seven.

110
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: That's.

111
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: Pretty boy.

112
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 3: Ferguson, Well, Peter, it's always a treat to talk to you.

113
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: I hear that you guys moving house?

114
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 4: Is that true?

115
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: Oh, Jones? News to me, but yes, because.

116
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: You can borrow. You can borrow a trailer if you want.

117
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 4: I'm happy.

118
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: He's not going to help you move a fridge, though,

119
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: move a fridge, but you can.

120
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 4: Borrow a trailer.

121
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: What behind your Harley or something?

122
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: No, I just your own car, Peter. Come on, you

123
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: just got to put a cart and a beer and

124
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 3: when you're finished with it.

125
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: That's all.

126
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: You'd be a crafty type of man to don't start

127
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: a fight.

128
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: Now you know what's happened here.

129
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: Jones is not a craft guard.

130
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 4: But you like VB.

131
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: I love v B. You're kidding me? Isn't that funny?

132
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: Everyone says that I think it's I love. Yeah, I

133
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: like it on tap.

134
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: I like it on tap, but you know I like

135
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 4: it too. He's new on tap like. I'd rather to

136
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: his new than a VB. But I didn't think he

137
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 4: was a VB guy.

138
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're a bit old fashion, though, aren't we.

139
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:03,920
