2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,440

Speaker 2: is who do you Think You are? Which traces your ancestry?

Speaker 3: viewers were so cute.

11
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: Little squeaky little cheeks that you just learned the kiss

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: and pinch is beautiful.

13
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: Oh and her sister's spoiling a rotten Yeah.

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: I've caught the five year old standing on the couch

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: holding the baby in her arms whilst jumping up and down,

16
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: going look, mom, I can jump up and down on

17
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: the couch with the brand new baby. That was fun.

18
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 3: That's just enough age difference for them to become their

19
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 3: little experiments.

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I'll find it down the street in

21
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: a dolls pram.

22
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about the show tonight, because when you

23
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 2: embark on this you always want to be on the

24
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: right side of history. I remember they came to our

25
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: house and said to the kids, what do you think

26
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: you'll find? And Jackie, was quite young at the time,

27
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: said he wanted to discover he was related to the

28
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: basketballer Michael Jordan and to explain that that was going

29
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: to be unlikely. But be all, what the hero story?

30
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: Though we don't always get it, how did yours go?

31
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: Yeah? I, I boyishly just went in there with full optimism,

32
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: exactly like one of your boys, going how good would

33
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: it be to find out you're related to Ned Kelly,

34
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: or that you own a castle in France that you

35
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: weren't aware of, or something you know like that. But

36
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: what I didn't realize is that when you do open

37
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: the door to the pass, you got to be careful

38
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: because any old skeleton can can fall out. And if

39
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: you look back far enough, every family's got one.

40
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: Have you got skeleton? Have you got oh?

41
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 1: Mate? It was pretty They drop bombs on you where

42
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: like throughout the whole journey, and it takes two weeks

43
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: to film, and it just kept getting more devas and devastating.

44
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: And it comes from the fact that you know, we

45
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: had family come out from England to South Australia and

46
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: they set up there and the daughter of my three

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: time great grandfather burnt the family farm to the ground

48
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: deliberately and she was arrested for it. And the reason

49
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: why she did it was just it was horrific. It

50
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: was hard to hear, an important chat to sort of

51
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: have in this day and age. But oh my god,

52
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 1: if you want to play a fun drinking game, every

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: time I cry, I just take a shot because it

54
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: was full on wow.

55
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: It's an extraordinary process. And you don't know how to

56
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: judge from this distance, eidether because you think I'm in

57
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: a privileged position, but at the same time you sort

58
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: of you have to have a caustic eye on some

59
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: of the behavior of your ancestors. It's a tough position

60
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: to be in, it really is.

61
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: And you know they found two stories, one good, one bad.

62
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: But the bad one is it's hard to put into

63
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: words because you hope to the best out of your

64
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: own kind. You want to look at the makeup of

65
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: you and you want to you want to know that

66
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: you're made up of good stuff. So when you hear

67
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: something tragic or horrible or horrific, you can't help but

68
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: feel somewhat some ownership of that because that's your people.

69
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: But you have to sort of remind yourself, look, I'm

70
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: not them. I wasn't around then. It had nothing to

71
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: do with me. But it hurts, It hurts in the heart.

72
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: Wow. Rebecca Gibney, when we talked to her about it,

73
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 3: she went back to New Zealand and she found out

74
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: that her ancestors committed atrocities against the Maori tribes over there, and.

75
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: I wanted to make amends and.

76
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: She wanted to make amends and it worked. It was

77
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: very emotional to watch your back because you know, in

78
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: her mind she made it amends.

79
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny. I'm used to being you know, that

80
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: squeaky clean, smiley sort of game show hosty guy who

81
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: stands next to Amanda and the Dancing with the Stars set,

82
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: and I'm used to perfect and it's it's an uncomfortable

83
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: thing to have someone reveal the most horrific news to

84
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: you whilst they're rolling and you're not having the emotional

85
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: intelligence to be able to explain it or yeah, it was.

86
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: It was tough. The one cool thing that did happen.

87
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: You know how I like Scottish Highland cows. You see

88
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: my cow? Yeah? Yeah, when you came up. This is weird.

89
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: I did the DNA test where you spit in the

90
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: vial and they send it off and they tell you

91
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: you know where your people are from. My family are

92
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: from wait for it, the Scottish Islands. Yeah.

93
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: I thought you'd come from a cow. I thought you

94
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: related to a cow.

95
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: You did uncover some secrets.

96
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: Imagine they went back to the family history and everyone

97
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: all my ancestors were really tall. That would be a

98
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: plot to it was.

99
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: Like Land of the Giants and there's little grand put

100
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,680
