Speaker 1: Hello Hei loala. Hello. I'm so pumped for this episode today,

14
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: I think mainly because we're about to talk about that.

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: He's really like potentially a once in a lifetime opportunity.

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: Do you know every time we hike, I've been literally

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: biting my tongue.

18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, don't ask them.

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: For the podcast, And as a result, you have now

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: been pretty much my life coach and getting me out

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: of some pretty big pickles.

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say life coach, but that's kind of what

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: producing is. Though it's like putting out fires and problems

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: solving totally.

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: Well, keep doing it, please please. Okay, So where this podcast?

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: We're recording in Los Angeles, but today's episode has absolutely

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: nothing to do with our life.

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: But it's super, super exciting and I think everyone's going

29
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: to find it really interesting.

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: Talk to me the Bafters?

31
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: What are they? What did you do the Bafters? Okay,

32
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: so I my role was called host producer and for

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: those of you listening at home, the BAFTERS stands for wait.

34
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: Because I don't want to get this wrong, I'll tell

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: you why, because it's a bit confusing. The British Academy

36
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: of Film and Television Arts, got it. A lot of

37
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: people think that Arts is award like they often think

38
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: it stands for the bus. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, But

39
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: the actual BAFTERS is referred to as the British Academy

40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: Film Awards because there's no television awards. It's just about

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: British film and obviously there's international films in there too,

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: so cool. So it's the equivalent of the Oscars. That's

43
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: the best way to the britishion. Yeah exactly. Yeah, that

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: must have been like a big deal.

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: You're saying that this was like a like you were saying,

46
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: seventy fifth anniversary.

47
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so's the seventy fifth anniversary of the Bafters.

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: But it was also the sixtieth anniversary of Bond, which

49
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: is probably one of the most successful British films you

50
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: know ever made, twentieth anniversary of Harry Potter, amazing British filmmaking.

51
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: More importantly, it was the first Bafters post COVID, so

52
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: we had real people, a real audience, real life. Yeah,

53
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: we're back. I must say.

54
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: It looked packed and massive. What's the capacity? Like, how

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: many people are in that auditorium?

56
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: So it's huge and it was full. So the capacity

57
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: is just over five thousand. I think it's about five

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: two hundred people. So for those who don't know, the

59
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: baptis is held at the Royal Albert Hall, which is

60
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: one of the most prominent venues in the UK or

61
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: in London at least, and it's stunning. Yeah it's well,

62
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: I know it is. No, No, this sounds really bad

63
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: because it is stunning, Like you walk in there and

64
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: it is completely overwhelming, like the architecture, the size of it,

65
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: everything is just like next level. But we had a

66
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: press call on the Tuesday, which is where you go,

67
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: and there's ten to fifteen photographers and they cape photos

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: and then they use that for articles during the week.

69
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: And all the lights are on, the house lights are on,

70
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: and it's a bit like I don't know if you've

71
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: ever been to a bar or a nightclub when the

72
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: house lights are on and the floor it's not dirty,

73
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: but it's scratched, you know, like people have been using

74
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: his venue for years and his years, so it's a

75
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: bit like ah. But then when the lights and everything

76
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: and they do it properly, like then you see the

77
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: magic of it, like it's still spectacular. But I was

78
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: a bit like, ah, it didn't.

79
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: Smell like booze though, Like that was the thing that

80
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: used to.

81
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: Get me as a DJ.

82
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: I'd be like the worst, Oh, that smell makes you

83
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: never want to drink.

84
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: I fully digress.

85
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I have to ask this, Okay, So I'm going

86
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: to come to you like as a someone that's never

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 2: been to the baftis that looks at it through the

88
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: lens of glamour, and I always I'm obsessed with watching

89
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: red Carpets and all that kind of thing, But like,

90
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: how long in advance because it's it's Inebruary February, right.

91
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was no, this was March thirteenth, what was it?

92
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I was reading up about and trying to

93
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: get my like Bafter's nerd on and they said that

94
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: it used to always be after the Oscars, but it

95
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: had no relevance after the Oscars.

96
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: So now they do it before the Oscars. Is that right? Yeah?

97
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: That's correct. Yeah, which is really sad because it should

98
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: have relevance and it does have relevance, but I guess

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: Oscars just completely dominate the awards season every year because

100
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: it's the Oscars, you know.

101
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: Right, So how long do you get My question is

102
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: very roundabout way of asking it, but like how much

103
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 2: notice do you get? How does it how do you

104
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: get booked? Like how does it all kind of like

105
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: come to play?

106
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: So I think the host got booked about around December. Yeah, maybe,

107
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: so not too far out. That's like three months, right, yeah? Yeah,

108
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: So how involved were you? Were you involved from December? Right?

109
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: So I probably knew that I was doing the job

110
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: thinking about January, and then closer to the time, I

111
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: think we did two or three zoom calls, which just

112
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: to talk about the show. The order of the presenters

113
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: which changes constantly, and just logistics and what's going to

114
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: happen when we get there. And then I literally got

115
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: there and hit the ground running and then I'm kind

116
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: of like on the ground NonStop. Yeah, it's kind of

117
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: like people in the industy like feel producing, Like you're

118
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: like producing everything every minute as it's happening. So literally

119
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: six days yep.

120
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: And in that six days, is it like NonStop eighteen

121
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 2: hour days?

122
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Like what's it like? Yeah? Exactly? Is actually way more

123
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: work than I think we anticipated really, just because there's

124
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: so much to sort out. And we recorded two skits

125
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: also well, so we recorded one skipper. We meant to

126
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: record another skip that then got pulled at the last

127
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: minute for various reasons. So that's a whole day shooting.

128
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: So that's one day gone where you're shooting a skit.

129
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: Thank god we only had to do one because we

130
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: were meant to be doing two. And then you've got

131
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: a whole day of press where the host is is

132
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: talking to all the different news outlets, You're out in

133
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: a hotel, You're going from room to room doing you know,

134
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: several different interviews, talk shows. We had a talk show

135
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: that night and so that's two days gone, and.

136
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: Just for the skits, is their skits that are going

137
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: to air in the show. Yeah, got it, I know

138
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: the skit you're talking about where there was no skirt on.

139
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yea.

140
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: So good because it was like we're all used to

141
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: watching shows on zoom or on YouTube in our undies

142
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: or pj's, and so it was like how to get

143
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: back into real life cinema again.

144
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was encouraged to encourage everyone to

145
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: like come back to the movies, you know, because people

146
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: haven't been going to the movies because they haven't been

147
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: able to, or even when they've been able to, they've

148
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: been too scared.

149
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: And also I just think as well, like we're back,

150
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: Like it feels so specially back. But I also think

151
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: the movie is are magic. And if anyone's listening and

152
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: you haven't been to the movies since COVID, one hundred

153
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: percent go because for me it's my happy place.

154
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: You're the same, aren't you, Yeah, one hundred percent go.

155
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: Just go and support cinema, support films, and it's just

156
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: such a different experience, Like I was watching movies on

157
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: the plane because it's like the first opportunity i'd had,

158
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: and I'm like, it's just not as good. It's not

159
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: as good as being in the cinema next to you. Yeah.

160
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: And although apparently I learned that at high altitudes, when

161
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: you're flying, you're much more emotional. Really, I cry like

162
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: a lot watching movies on planes, Like do I embarrassingly?

163
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: So I watched Coder on the plane. I was like

164
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: an absolute mess. But yeah, so apparently you're more more

165
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: emotional on planes.

166
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: And your taste buds changed.

167
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: Do you know that? No, they need to add more

168
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: salt to food to make it taste good. High up.

169
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: That's a nutrition fact, though completely unrelated.

170
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 2: Okay, so I've taken you totally off topic, as I

171
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 2: feel like that's probably going to be the.

172
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: So the six days in the lead up is non stop.

173
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: You're doing press stage, you're shooting skits, you're literally.

174
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: Probably problem solving on the fly as well. Yea producer constantly,

175
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: and then you've got to obviously meet with Bathroom BBC

176
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: and they've got to like approve the script. Yeah, and

177
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: the script's changing constantly because things are happening in the world.

178
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: So you're like, okay, we need to put that in

179
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: because otherwise we're not going to be relevant, especially this

180
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: day and age, presenters are getting COVID. So this person's

181
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: now not presenting, so we can't have this joke. So

182
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: this person's now going to present the Best Picture Awards.

183
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: So now we've got to change the joke we had

184
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: for him because the joke was related to presenting the

185
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: Best Actor award. That's happening like literally an hour up

186
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: until the show starts.

187
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: That gives me, being a a type personality, that gives

188
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: me anxiety. Were you feeling like calm throughout it all?

189
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: Were you feeling like reasonably stressed but enjoying yourself?

190
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, a bit of both. I think I'm so used

191
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: to high pressure situations like this that you just go

192
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: into autopilot and you just do whatever you can to

193
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: get it done. But it was stressful, like we you know,

194
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: we were stressed. Everyone was stressed because you've got a

195
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: time limit, like you have to be on stage and

196
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: the recording has to start at five o'clock because it's

197
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: it's not a live event, but it airs two hours

198
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: later on television, so you have to yeah, exactly.

199
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: Oh far out I've got to ask this is sorry,

200
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 2: I'm like a Kidna caady.

201
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: The Red Carpet.

202
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I love any any award night. I'm like,

203
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 2: I'm there for the Red carpet. I love it. And

204
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: it looks like the Baft's Red carpet is massive and

205
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: has stairs.

206
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: Yeah it does so, yeah, I have multiple stairs, so

207
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: it is one of I actually think it's the longest

208
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: red carpet of all the awards. Wow. It is massive

209
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: and ginormous and chaotic and everything you would expect. We

210
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: actually didn't really have time to do the Red Carpet

211
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: because we were so backed up trying to get the

212
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: script finish and everything finalized to go on that We

213
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: were meant to have two hours in Glam. When I

214
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: say we, Rebel Wilson, who was hosting, she I didn't

215
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: get Glam. I just did a French what I call

216
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: a French shower in the basin and put my suit on. Yeah,

217
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: there was no time. We didn't even eat, like, oh

218
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: my goodness. Yeah, it was just and you're running on adrenaline.

219
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: But yeah. Unfortunately and her Glam team in London are phenomenal,

220
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: so they got her ready in forty minutes, which should

221
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: have taken two hours. And so that means that we

222
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: had fifteen minutes to do the carpet, but part of

223
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: the carpet she had to do a trail, which is hey,

224
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: I remember Wilson hosting the BAFTAs seven o'clock tonight tune

225
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: in on BBC, so we had to record that. That

226
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: was the first thing we had to do. But because

227
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: we were running so late, we couldn't get her in

228
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: the car and bring around to actually walk the carpet

229
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: because we just there was no time. So we had

230
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: to walk her all up the back of the Royal

231
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: Abbit Hall and out onto the carpet and then walk

232
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: against the traffic of people that were coming in to

233
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: get to the end of the carpet where we had

234
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: to film the trail, and then we had to get

235
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: her back up to the top of the carpet to

236
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: do the step and repeat, which is like where you

237
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: stand and get all the photos done. Step and repeat?

238
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: Is that what it's called? Yeah, I had no idea.

239
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: But do you know what's funny is I think it's

240
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: called different things in different countries because in London they

241
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: were calling it the picture wall, and I'm like, what's

242
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: the fucking picture wall? Like I'm thinking I'm like, they're like,

243
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: and we're going to put her in front of the

244
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: picture wall, and I'm thinking they're going to put her

245
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: in front of like a whole series of pictures of

246
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: people who have been in the Albert Hall or something.

247
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, we're not doing that. No, we're not doing that.

248
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: And then it's like, Okay, that's the step and repeat.

249
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: But we had fifteen minutes to do all of that,

250
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: and there was an hour and something allocated, so there

251
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: was no interviews on the carpet or anything like that.

252
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: It was literally record the trail, get back up the top,

253
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: do the step and repeat, and then get back down,

254
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: and then we were meant to have an hour to

255
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: change because she's then got a change into her hosting outfit,

256
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: reset her hair, her makeup. On top of that, there

257
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: was a Daniel Craig joke in it about her having

258
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: a tattoo on her leg, so we had to get

259
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: the tattoo artist in to do the tattoo. But that's

260
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: all something that's obviously got to be pre planned because

261
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: what's the tattoo look like, how's it going to be done?

262
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: A normal tattoo, like even a henna tattoo person will

263
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: take two hours, so that we don't have two hours.

264
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: So anyway, one of the executive producers, Mel who was amazing.

265
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: She found this woman who was a makeup artist and

266
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: could do a Daniel Craig tattoo in like ten minutes. No,

267
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: so I think we had after we got off the carpet.

268
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: I think we had twenty five minutes to change outfit,

269
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: change jewelry, change hair, makeup, get the Daniel Craig tattoo,

270
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: and then be ready to go on.

271
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 2: And can I just say, like, as a girl as well,

272
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 2: if you've got a dress and high heels on, I

273
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: can't imagine red carpets being easy to move on or

274
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: even just like the logistics for going up and downstairs.

275
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: And that dress in particular, which looks as far, it

276
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: looks so far that red carpet dresses money. Yeah, that

277
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: dress was designed by Jean Baptista Valley. I put a

278
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: little with an accident and then when I said that fancy,

279
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. And then the show dress was designed Mimeu,

280
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: which is also stunning, that red number.

281
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: It that so it's like this incredible's almost like there's

282
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: an esoteric elements.

283
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: So it's black with like witholol and like it's anyway.

284
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: But it was not the easiest dress to walk in, which,

285
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: of course, as Murphy's Law would have it, the one

286
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: time that you need to be able to walk up

287
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: and down the longest awards carpet in history in fifteen minutes,

288
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: you've got one of the hardest dresses to do that.

289
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: It's incredible if for people listening, just go on to

290
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: Red Wilson's or your Insta and look up that dress.

291
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: It is. I'm going to put it out there the

292
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: best yeah and carpet moments so far. I totally agree.

293
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: It's one of those moments.

294
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: I like, this is I think a girl in a

295
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: romance thing where you're just like I want I would

296
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: if I that was me. I'm sure you have to

297
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: have to give dresses back at the end.

298
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you can keep them and sometimes the

299
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: designers will give them to you, especially if they're custom

300
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: or you can buy them, But the majority of the

301
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: time you have to give them back.

302
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: Because there the other not to go and make this

303
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: fashion podcast. But Oscars, Jessica, is it just staying Yes?

304

310
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: she's just and knocks it out of the park every time.

311
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: I'm glad we're doing a red carpets and talk shows

312
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: we can we can touch on fashion. Okay, so you

313
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: get you do the Red carpet. You stick to these

314
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: crazy timelines that are feel impossible, but you make it happen.

315
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: Is there something that as the producer the host producer,

316
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: is there a moment in time, like right before go

317
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: time for you and your hosts, like have a little moment.

318
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you remember.

319
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: That you said or did or like you know, because

320
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: like there'd be so much emotion and nerve and anxiety

321
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: for I think both you do you know what I mean?

322
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: It was so fast and so intense, and we were

323
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: so rushed to do the quick change, and they actually

324
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: started the show fifteen minutes later, like right, like we

325
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: meant to start at five, and we started at fifteen

326
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: minutes past five, but the stage manager is literally like

327
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: dragging us out of the dressing room while we're still

328
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: putting earrings on. I'm using the royal weed here. Obviously

329
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: I was not wearing earrings, but yeah, it was that

330
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: tight that. There's nothing that I remember specifically. It's just like, Okay,

331
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: we've got to go. How we going? Hou's the tattoo?

332
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: Like checking on that constantly. But just before Rebel went on,

333
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: we high fived and I just said, you're going to

334
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: crush this, and then off she went and crushed it.

335
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: Oh I love this.

336
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: I think I remember when I did ask a few

337
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 2: little questions when we hiked. I think I remember you

338
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: kept saying, like keep enjoying it, like just have fun,

339
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 2: have fun, like you were kind of like because it

340
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: would be so easy to kind of like I imagine as

341
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 2: a host, you're doing many jobs more than what we

342
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: see as an audience member on this, like watching it

343
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 2: on tally or whatnot, you know what I mean. And

344
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: so I love that you said to me, you were like,

345
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: have fun, like you're never going to get your first

346
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 2: ever hosting of the Bafts back ever again.

347
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah for you too, you know. Yeah. Oh look I

348
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: mean I was able to enjoy it, you know, because

349
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: I wasn't the one out there on stage. But I

350
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: think it's it's such a high pressured environment anyway, and

351
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: then you have the pressure of it being the first

352
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: proper like Bafts back after COVID, and it's such a

353
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: hard gig because you've got to get the humor right.

354
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: You've got to entertain everyone. You've got to make sure

355
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: that the BBC are happy, that Bafters are happy that

356
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: you've got one. You've got to have the room with you.

357
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: But on top of that, then there's a broadcast, so

358
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: you've got to have the TV audience with you too,

359
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: and playing to a room full of people at the

360
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: Royal Albert Hall is completely different to playing to a

361
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: TV audience. So you're constantly trying to strike that balance

362
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: and it's really really hard. And this is why so

363
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: many people like absolutely bomb out when they do award

364
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: shows because it's not it's like it's a beast of

365
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: its own. It's not doing a monologue on stage. It's

366
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: not a stand up you know, comedian act. It's like

367
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: just the whole machine. You're like the glue. Yeah, And

368
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: is it true?

369
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: Was this was Rebel, the second female to host it

370
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: or something.

371
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that it's got to feel like high pressure as well.

372
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: Exactly second female in history. Joanna Lumley had done it

373
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: before her. I think she hosted twice and then yeah,

374
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: and then Rebel, who's not even British.

375
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: Yes, do you know what I mean? Like, that's got

376
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: to feel like high state.

377
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: I know, I know, And that's the thing, you know,

378
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: And she made a joke about that too, like you know,

379
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: straight up, but well you got it, you got it,

380
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: Like come, I hear, hello, so good, so well done

381
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: as well.

382
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 2: Okay, so I've got to ask there is auto Q,

383
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: right because you can see that when you're watching any

384
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 2: award show, how much of your host is like using

385
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 2: the AUTOQ having a learned script or bit or like,

386
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: how what's the percentage that's AUTOQ versus knowing off my heart?

387
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: It changes for every person. I would say for this job,

388
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 1: nine was AUTOQ. But when I say that, it was

389
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: there as a prompt, like, yeah, Rebel knew what she

390
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: had to say and how she had to deliver it

391
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: and all the rest of it. There was the occasional

392
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: lines that she went off script for. But yeah, in

393
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: terms of having an auto Q and what is on

394
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: the is being broadcast and what she is saying that

395
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: was probably about ninety five percent true.

396
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this I did not know this because I

397
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: used to have a huge fear of AUOQ. I always

398
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: used to get scared that, like, oh, what if it

399
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: goes too fast for.

400
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: Me to speak and then I speak myself to my

401
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: words up really good.

402
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: But there is literally someone making like matching your like

403
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: timing it to fit you correct one.

404
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: It is manually operated by an actual human. Yeah.

405
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 2: My next question, what about the guest hosts or the

406
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 2: guest like the people presenting awards and whatnot, they've also

407
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: all got autoq's correct.

408
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah they do. Yeah, this is a funny story. So obviously,

409
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: like when you're a presenter, you have like three or

410
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: four lines, you know, and some of them will go

411
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: rogue and they will do their own thing, but the

412
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: majority of them were just happy that something's written for them.

413
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: They may have read it before they get there, they

414
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: may not have read it, you know whatever, and they

415
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: will always read it before. So all the presenters will

416
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: come backstage, they all have handlers, and that just means

417
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: that there's someone that will go and get them from

418
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: their seat, a seat filler will sit in for them,

419
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: and then they will bring them backstage well ahead of

420
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: the time they need to be on stage in case

421
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: something goes wrong. They come backstage if they need to

422
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: have makeup, last looks done, anything with their wardrobe fixed up.

423
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: One celebrity had threads coming off her dress that had

424
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: to be cut off on the floor before she went on.

425
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: Just look better. And then they will sit next to

426
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: one of the production team and they will run what

427
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 1: they have to say on the auto Q backstage so

428
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: they can practice it and get it right, and then

429
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: when they go out they present as normal good works

430
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: in theory. However, if you wear glasses and contact lenses

431
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: and you are presenting and you do not bring them,

432
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: you cannot read the autoque from the podium. Oh my goodness.

433
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: So there were a couple that had that issue and

434
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: they had to like really try and learn on the spot.

435
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: On the spot, I mean their pros. This is what

436
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: they do, and then go out and present as if

437
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: they knew what they were talking. And I don't want

438
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: to like name names. Both of them knocked it out

439
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: of the park.

440
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 2: Scary though, but I'm like stressed backstage for them, like

441
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 2: you're like, oh my god, and what about it feels

442
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 2: like when you're watching some people have learned their three lines,

443
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 2: Like it really feels like some people, like Emma Watson,

444
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: she her eyeline changed about three or four times and

445
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 2: she's really enjoying it. She played into Rebel's joke as well,

446
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 2: She's like, I'm here for all the witches.

447
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: Like it was, you could feel.

448
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 2: I don't know whether it's some people are just so

449
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: at ease doing that and so they.

450
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: Just enjoy it.

451
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 2: But you can really feel the people that are just

452
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 2: totally staying they're looking at an AUTOQ versus people to

453
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 2: kind of like just like, oh, how cool is this

454
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: and really loving it. Do you think that some people

455
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 2: weren't their AUTOQ well and truly before the night even begins.

456
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. Yeah. But I think also I

457
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: think everyone thinks, oh, you're an actor, you can get

458
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: up there and present. It's a very different skill set.

459
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: And when you're an actor, you're on set, you're in

460
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: a moment, you're in character, in wardrobe, you know, you've

461
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: got key crew around you. Here you're standing on stage

462
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: with thousands of people looking at you. You know, that

463
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: this is going to be broadcast to even million more

464
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: millions and millions more people. It's just high pressure. Yeah,

465
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: some people are built for that, you know. I mean

466
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: when I say that, obviously no one did a bad job,

467
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: but I mean some people, just like walking the park,

468
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: could do it with their eyes closed. Others you need

469
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: a bit more prep and.

470
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 2: So interesting because spoiler al it, I did know that

471
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 2: story beforehand, and so then I went and watched the

472
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: oscars and I would notice only one presenter kept their

473
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: glasses on. So everyone else at the oscars did not

474
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 2: wear glasses.

475
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean it could be that they had contacts in

476
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: or it could be that their auto Q was much

477
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: further forward, because our AUTOQ was a little far back

478
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: and we only had one, and we were trying to

479
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: get another one set up during the rehearsals, but it

480
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: was just too hard in terms of the stairways need

481
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: to be free so that the cameraman can move up

482
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: and down it constantly. And then so if you don't

483
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: put the auto Q in the stairway, the end putting

484
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: in the audience, but then you're blocking whoever's behind. So

485
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: it's very hard to position a second auto QUE because

486
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: this was already set up, so we just couldn't have

487
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: a second one. And it was a little bit further back.

488
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I've never been to the Oscars

489
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: or worked the Oscars, but it could be closer. Yeah,

490
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: got it.

491
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: So interesting, like all this little like behind the scenes,

492
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 2: I've got to ask for you starstruck, Like were their

493
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 2: moments where you're like.

494
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's quite so. I spend

495
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: the whole show backstage, ye, And there's a whole team

496
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: of us. So there's me, there's the glam team, there's

497
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 1: two of the key writers that were helping with the script,

498
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: and then there's the stylist or in this case, stylist assistant,

499
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: and we're all backstage in a little group. And then

500
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: every presenter will come back fifteen minutes before they're needed.

501
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: And as I was saying before, like get themselves composed themselves,

502
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: and I don't really get starstruck, but some of their

503
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: presence you're just like, oh my god, really yeah, Like

504
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: Rupe haul Is, I've never seen him in real life

505
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: and I don't watch drag Race or anything, but he

506
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: is just so tall and has such a presence, and

507
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: he was presenting with Naomi Campbell. Yeah, and so the

508
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: two of them saying together and were the first presenters.

509
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: So they were backstage when we arrived backstage, and it

510
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: was like, oh shit, okay, here we go, and she

511
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: is just stunning. But again, she only confirmed two hours

512
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: before the show or three hours before the show to

513
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, And I don't know, I don't know

514
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: the politics of what was going on behind stage, but

515
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: I know that she's good friends with Rue, and Rue

516
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: wanted her to present, and so they were trying to

517
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: work that out. And then literally three hours first like okay,

518
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: now Gnomi's presenting with Rue on the top of the show,

519
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: So all that sort of happens. Lady Gaga, I mean,

520
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: is Lady garga like and tiny tiny but she was

521
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: not tiny, So I don't know what how tall her

522
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: shoes were under that dress because she was not tiny

523
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: when she was backstage. But just again just has like

524
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: a presence about her. And again the same thing. I'm

525
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: not like a big Lady Gaga fan or anything like that,

526
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: but you were just like, oh, like, it's just something

527
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: about some of these people that blows your mind.

528
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: You can be indifferent to Lady Gaga, but those pipes

529
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: like to be able to like felt. I've re listened

530
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 2: to the soundtrack to A Star Is Born recently and

531
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: I was like, may, like that is other worldly, that

532
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 2: is like alien talent. But one thing I loved about

533
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 2: Lady Gaga, and I don't know if you saw this,

534
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: but when Rebel was doing her bit with the Golden Bras,

535
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 2: she was giving away Golden bras, she gave Lady Gaga's

536
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: date an award for Best plus one and then Rebel

537
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: was kind of already onto the next bra giveaway and

538
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 2: Lady Gaga took the bra and put it under a dress.

539
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: It was a great moment, what allegend.

540
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like also to have the ability to play in

541
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 2: the moment with the Rebel like so cool.

542
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: Oh so cool, And she was like just seems so

543
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: relaxed and so chilled. And she actually had to do

544
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: another awards night that night. I think it was the

545
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: Screen Actors Guild or I can't remember which one, and

546
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: they were doing half of it televised from London or whatever,

547
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: so she had to go from ours from BAFTAs to

548
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: go and do that too. Oh my goodness. And she

549
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: had huge security detail like when we were rehearsing the

550
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: day before the security detail came in, looked at the

551
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: seat where she was sitting. Who else was sitting around her?

552
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that's just what you do when

553
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: you're at that level. And she's had all these problems

554
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: with the dogs being stolen. Yeah, so you know, makes sense.

555
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 2: But so many, like so many cool human beings to

556
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: just be around and be in the energy of as well.

557
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: Did you feel like you're like I'm with the like

558
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: the Titans right now, like that feeling of being around

559
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: so many greats, or you're like, nah, this is my job.

560
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: I'm just in the zone. I'm giving you so many

561
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: sticky questions. I apologize question.

562
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: No, I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. Like,

563
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: of course, you have these moments where you're like, oh

564
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: my god, Okay, that's that person that's aspect and they're

565
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: literally standing right there. But you're just kind of there

566
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: to do a job too. Yeah, and you want to

567
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: give it your all.

568
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. This is more of a

569
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: mental health question. How do you wind down? Like how

570
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: do you after all of that? Like you didn't stop.

571
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: I presume there was like some epic after party was there.

572
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's very hard to wind down, especially like

573
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: for the host. We touched on this briefly before, but

574
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if I actually got to the end

575
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: of the question because it's such a high pressure job.

576
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: It's so nerve wracking, and as I think you were saying,

577
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: you reminded me that I kept saying, Rebel, just try

578
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: and enjoy it because you're so nervous. You just want

579
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: to make sure that you present and come across properly,

580
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: and that the show's running smoothly and that nothing goes

581
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: wrong that you almost are out of the moment. So

582
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: the baftors do a really interesting thing that not many

583
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: other awards ceremonies do, and they like to have the

584
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: host on stage the whole time. I noticed this.

585
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: I watched it all last and I was like, holy smokes,

586
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: when do you ever shut off yeah, or have a

587
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: sip of water.

588
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: No. So I think there was two or three moments

589
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: where she came backstage and we could reset her and

590
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: just make sure she was okay. But the rest of

591
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: the time she's standing on the side of the stage,

592
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: and they feel that that gives a much more cohesive

593
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: flow instead of the presenter going on off all the time.

594
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 2: You could feel that though, like as an audience member,

595
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: because they kept rebeling shot even when there were other

596
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 2: presenters on like short and zoom in, but it would

597
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: zoom out to wide quite quickly. So I became very

598
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: aware of that and I was like, oh my god,

599
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 2: what if you need to wei.

600
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: There'd be a lot of things yeah and think about,

601
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: and I agree with them. I feel it worked. It's

602
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 1: like it's like when you're the host of a dinner party.

603
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: You don't want to go missing every fifteen minutes you're there,

604
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, holding court, and so I think logically it

605
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: makes sense, and I feel like it made sense in

606
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: terms of the way that the show was run. But yeah,

607
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: like you are so nervous and so full of adrenaline,

608
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: and I know in Rebel's case, like the minute she

609
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: did the last bit and came off stage then she

610
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: could relax. So then you go to there is an

611
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: official Baftis after party, which is a sit down dinner

612
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: at Grosvenor House, which has got like everyone, there's so

613
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: many people there, but because we're winding down and we've

614
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: got to do things backstage, we didn't get there until

615
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: two hours later and it was so hectic, so hectic,

616
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: so we stayed for about an hour and then Annabelle's.

617
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: There was a Vogue party at Annabel's that we went to,

618
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: and that was Annabelle's is like this really well known,

619
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: like fancy members club in London, and that was wild.

620
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: Like we didn't stay long because it was so tired,

621
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: but just to be there and the energy of everyone there,

622
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: and it was like and I have never in my

623
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: life experienced papara like that ever. It was. We got

624
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: out of the car and it was just lined with

625
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: paparazzi and Rebel had to hold onto the security guard

626
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: and I was literally like holding onto the back of

627
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: Rebel and you could not see for the life of you.

628
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: So you just like, I hope I'm making the right

629
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: steps here, and then we got in. But it's crazy.

630
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: And someone said to me, that's why the Kardashians wear

631
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: sunglasses all the time, because it helps with the flash of.

632
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: The Really, yeah, oh my gosh, I didn't think we

633
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: go down the Kardashian around time.

634
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm so wrapped. Well that that's what I got told.

635
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: That's amazing. So yeah, I mean it took a while,

636
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: and then we went back to the hotel and we

637
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: just sat on the floor and ate pizza and chatted

638
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: until like two thirty. But you still you're wired for

639
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: the whole next week too, and we're jet lagged and

640
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: we haven't been sleeping because you're like working crazy hours

641
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: into the night.

642
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: I've got to ask, Yeah, do you have a favorite

643
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 2: moment or highlight of the night.

644
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: Okay, so funny story, I haven't actually watched the telecast.

645
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 2: No, that think the first thing I feel like I

646
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: do no soars assistic.

647
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: Law no, because like in the room, the show's two

648
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: hours and forty minutes, but when it goes to broadcast,

649
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: it's only two hours. So I haven't actually sat down

650
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: and watched a two hour show yet. I only know

651
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: what happened in the room, and we have a live

652
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: feedbackstage that we're watching, got it, So I don't know

653
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: what's been broadcast or not. But my favorite moment, well,

654
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: this definitely was broadcast, hands down. Dame Shirley Bassey opening

655
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: the show with Diamonds Are Forever, And there was like

656
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: kind of this like little dramatic moment because we were

657
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 1: late starting and the stage manager came and like dragged

658
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: us out of the dressing room and as that's happening,

659
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: she's singing, and it's like, we've really got to get

660
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: out there because like the show has started. Oh my goodness,

661
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: but that was knockout. And then watching that, watching her

662
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: rehearse that too, like you can't get enough of us,

663
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: Like she's amazing and she's eighty something, looks incredible.

664
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: That's that once in a lifetime again as well a legend. Okay,

665
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: do you want to know my two favorite So these

666
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: are from past Bafters in the past. So there was

667
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: a time when Brad Pitt won I think for once

668
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: upon a time in Hollywood, but Margot Robbie went up

669
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 2: and accepted for him. But he'd written her a speech

670
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: and it's quite funny, like everything he did was like

671
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 2: like he was like, can I Britain, good luck with

672
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 2: your divorce? I he you're newly single like me, Like

673
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: it was really like and she's delivering it so beautiful,

674
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: like in the funniest comedic timing as well, and it

675
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: was just like so well done that it's like when

676
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 2: you when you research the Bafters, it's one of the

677
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 2: first things that comes up as well. It's like become

678
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 2: like this iconic moment of like the wrong person accepting

679
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 2: an award but it being really good.

680
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: And then I think it ended with like.

681
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 2: Brad Pitt say, I'm going to name this award Harry

682
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: and take Harry with me back to America.

683
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: I just like Prince Harry, like he did really good,

684
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: Like it was very good.

685
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 2: And then my other favorite moment is a rebel moment,

686
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: but from twenty and twenty, Yeah, when it was very

687
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: like this mask is so good at protecting you from COVID,

688
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 2: like because the award is a mask, yep. And there

689
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: were the every single bit because it was probably like

690
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 2: longer than a normal presenters was definitely more than three lines,

691
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 2: and every bit. You probably remember all this because you're

692
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: so close, but every bit was just.

693
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: Like boom boom boom. And when you put in baft.

694
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: As it says best presenter, it like speech ever kind

695
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 2: of thing.

696
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that all happened very last minute because we

697
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: were actually at this Strain open in Melbourne and then

698
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 1: she just got the call they want you to present,

699
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: and I think like three days later she was on

700
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: a plane like flew Melbourne to London, landed and then

701
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: had the Baftis that night. From memory, she may have

702
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: had one night sleep. I'm not sure if she did,

703
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: so I remember we were in a sauna like throwing

704
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: around ideas for what she could say, and then she

705
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: just wrote it on the plane and so Bafta, no

706
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: one had any idea what she was saying, and it

707
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: was like the highlight of that Ye show. And I

708
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: without doubt that's why they booked her to host this year. Yeah,

709
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: because it was just such a standout. It's so good.

710
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, even though like there's a bit where because the

711
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 2: dress is red and black and it's like I put

712
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: you I was been sustainable and like distresses from when

713
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: I didn't get Miss Australia. This stresses from the funeral

714
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: of cats, like there were so many. I think it

715
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 2: was something like that that it was so many, like

716
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 2: just like bit after bit after bit. To think that

717
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 2: that was written on a plane is like genius.

718
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: I think, yes, is.

719
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 2: There anything else you want to talk about about the Baftis?

720
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: This so much? We know, but I just been this

721
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: like it was just such a crazy, full on experience

722
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 1: with so much happening all the time, and I think

723
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: I think the thing that not surprised me. But that

724
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: I had to get my head around is that Rebel

725
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: wrote the whole thing herself with a team of writers,

726
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: but the bulk of the work is her and then writers.

727
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: She might say, hey, I'm thinking about this on who's

728
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: that's say Will Smith. Let's stay away from Will Smith.

729
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: But like Putin say putin, yeah, I'm thinking of this joke.

730
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: Does anyone have any that could be a bit better?

731
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: And then they'll all email in jokes and she might

732
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: pick one, or she might use half of one and

733
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: then add to it. So that's when I say to

734
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: the team of writers, that's how the writers work. The

735
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,439
Speaker 1: writers don't sit there and write her speech for her.

736
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure in past I'm not sure about the bafters

737
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: because I'm sure Ricky Gervais and those type of people

738
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: write themselves. But a lot of award shows there are

739
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: writers that will write the whole thing and the people

740
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: it depends who the person is. They've got comedy bones

741
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: or don't, yeah, and it's completely up to them what

742
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: they want to do. So she will. She writes the

743
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: majority of it herself, but there's so much material, and

744
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: the material is changing all the time, and you don't

745
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: really get a chance to time it out, and so

746
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: you're constantly having to edit it as you go on

747
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: the fly. It's not like you turn up and you go,

748
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: here is the script, and this is the script I'm using,

749
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: and let's just rehearse this for a week. You don't

750
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: even get rehearsals. What happens is is the Royal Abbot

751
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 1: Hall is used all the time for shows, so they

752
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: bump in on Friday and then on Saturday we turn

753
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 1: up and we had an hour on stage. Now, remember

754
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: the show's two hours and forty minutes in the room.

755
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: We had an hour on stage just for Rebel to

756
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: get used to the stage, used to the lighting, used

757
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: to the autoque or the rest of it. And of course,

758
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: what happens with every rehearsal, things go wrong. So they

759
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: were still fixing the screens inside the auditorium, so we

760
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: had to try and get that right. The autoq wasn't

761
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 1: working the way it should, some of the old script

762
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: are being uploaded onto it. Everything else is going on. Ah,

763
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: so that's not a rehearsal. And then after that all

764
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: the writers were there. Then there's a whole writing workshop

765
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: where you go over the whole thing and try and

766
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: think is there anything funny, is there anything we mess

767
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: did this work? Did this not work? Blah blah, And

768
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: then you're still editing it because you can't just walk

769
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: on and deliver the script the way you want to

770
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: deliver it. It's got to be approved by BBC bafter,

771
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: it's got to go on the auto Q and be

772
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: ready for the performance. So then the next day we

773
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: have a run through, but again the script's still not finalized,

774
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: and BBC legals there and they're watching it, so they've

775
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: got their input of what they think should go to

776
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: air and shouldn't go to So this is why it's

777
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: con changing all the time up until when we're about

778
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: to go on, which is why we didn't have time

779
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: to do red carpet, why we didn't have time to

780
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: do proper glam. Like that was intense and thank god

781
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: I wasn't the one presenting. I mean, Rebels a pro

782
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: and this is what she does. But like I was like,

783
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: oh my god, like we haven't even like done a

784
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: proper run through. Is she okay?

785
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 2: But even as well, when you watch like a Ricky Gervais,

786
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, there has to have been easter eggs in

787
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 2: there that even there, that the oscars or whatever didn't

788
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 2: know that he was going because he just takes he

789
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 2: pushes the envelopes.

790
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: So far, I have heard that some hosts have two scripts,

791
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: like one for their yeap and then one that they know.

792
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 1: But I have no idea if we were running two scripts,

793
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: we'd be dead, Like you'd have to have another another human.

794
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how people do that, and that's just

795
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 1: a rumor. Yeah, so I've got no facts, like if

796
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 1: that's actual proof, but yeah, and I don't know how

797
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: you do that, because trying to get one script right

798
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 1: is enough. And I have to say also with these gigs,

799
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: you don't know the people unless you've worked with them before,

800
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: rebel and I'd never worked with the bafters or BBC

801
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: or anyone like that before, apart from she presented last year,

802
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: but that's a whole I mean, the year she did

803
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 1: the presenting the what's it called you present an award?

804
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: Right is yeah, yeah, I think so, I'm just trying

805
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: to distinguish that from like actually, which is a whole

806
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: different Kevelefish. So you don't know how how liberal these

807
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: people are going to be, how easy they're going to

808
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: be to work with, you don't know anything, and it's

809
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: kind of in their hands as well, because they're the

810
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 1: one producing the show and making it go to air.

811
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: And the there's fifty different moving parts. Like the director

812
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: needs the script because she's got to plot her camera

813
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: angles and you've got fifth dean cameraman in the building.

814
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: It all have to know where they need to be

815
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: at any certain time, and you can't do that unless

816
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: you have a script. Because if you're talking about Kenneth

817
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: Browner and cameraman force me to beyond Browner, but he's

818
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: on the other side. So all that's got to be

819
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: plotted first, and that can't happen until you've got a script.

820
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: So it's like this crazy like thing that of course

821
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: when you sit down and look at that, you're like,

822
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: of course, it's like this, But I don't think we

823
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: kind of like had really thought it through properly, and

824
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: you don't. As I was saying, you don't know, these

825
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: people could be terrible, but I have to say they

826
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: were fantastic. We were so lucky. Really hardly any jokes

827
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: got vetoed. Really yeah, like they were really fantastic. We

828
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: lost jokes that we both agreed didn't work or was

829
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: pushed too far or but there was nothing, you know

830
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: that they really came hard down on us, which was

831
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: wonderful for us. And it's nice.

832
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 2: I watched it last night and so like as someone

833
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 2: that's just recently consumed it in its entirety, their bits

834
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: and the jokes and the gap, they felt like there

835
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 2: was envelope put like to watch, I was like, oh goods.

836
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 2: Like some of them felt quite risky in a good way,

837
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 2: like the Putin stuff.

838
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 1: And there are.

839
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 2: Moments where you're like, yeah, you know, like I imagine like

840
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 2: it takes guts to be able to like have the

841
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 2: follow through to see something, you know. I mean that's

842
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: the beauty of working with the superstar and someone that

843
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 2: knows how to do this. I just want to say

844
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: one thing on the autoque and legal and this is

845
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 2: just on a minute, like tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny level.

846
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 2: I remember when I did a campaign for A and

847
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 2: sais this is nothing in comparison. The legal team was

848
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 2: there and changing the script on the spot, which would

849
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 2: be the exact same, not the exact same, but like

850
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 2: the way you were talking about like having BBC Legal

851
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 2: and then you've got baftis team there, and you've got

852
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 2: all these people you need to keep happy. I remember

853
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 2: I had to quickly get over all of my insecurities

854
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 2: because the old script had been put on AUTOQ and

855
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: then a new script had been updated that wasn't sent

856
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 2: to me, and so like I'd learned the old script

857
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 2: because I had a fear of AUTOQ and they're like,

858
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 2: you're using the director the ad was like, you're using

859
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,919
Speaker 2: the wrong script, and I was like, oh my god,

860
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 2: Like here's the one I got sent last night. And

861
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 2: they're like, there was a revised version at six am

862
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 2: this morning. And then you rocket and you and you

863
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,919
Speaker 2: and me are a type. And I was like, they're

864
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 2: going to think I'm a failure. And all they did

865
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 2: to fix it was they like they on the spot

866
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 2: board and AUTOQ in and as soon as that was done,

867
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 2: it was fixed because literally the legal team was changing.

868
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 2: They're like, hey, we're just going to shoot that. You

869
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 2: did nothing wrong. They just want the wording changed. So

870
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 2: I can only imagine that's for a little Australian commercial,

871
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 2: Like Holy Mac, You've got so many not just people

872
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 2: but entities to keep happy and to like so like

873
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: it's a massive job and like hats off to you,

874
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 2: like that's meg.

875
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's actually I mean we haven't really gone

876
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: into it in much detail, but that's what a host

877
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: producer does is very different to what the show producer does.

878
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: So there was the show producers who are producing the

879
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: actual show. I'm there just producing the host. So the

880
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: best way to describe this is it's probably how people

881
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: think a manager works, but I am the point of

882
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: contact between production BAFT, BBC and the host.

883
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,479
Speaker 2: Oh wow, from what like from rehearsal day one through

884
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 2: the end.

885
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, of course there's a direct line of

886
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: communication open if there's script things or whatever, but because

887
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: Rebel's got to worry about her performance and working on

888
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: the script, and then everything else gets filtered through me.

889
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 1: So my job is actually as host producer one to

890
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: protect her, to make sure that she can do the

891
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: best job that she can do, but also to make

892
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 1: sure that Bafter and BBC are happy. So there's multiple

893
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: conversations going on between Bafter and BBC about this line,

894
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: this joke, this piece of music, blah blah blah that

895
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: I am not telling her about because I'm trying to

896
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: fight for it or say no, we've got to keep this,

897
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: or we're trying to work out an issue because there's

898
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: a copyright with something happening, and we're not involving her

899
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: because we don't want her to freak out, especially on

900
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: show day. Yeah, so that's where it really ramps up.

901
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: And there was quite a lot of changes and things

902
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: that we were legal were trying to push through and

903
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: that I'm trying to sort out without letting her know,

904
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: because then you don't want her to get into her

905
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: head and think, oh my god, they're cutting all my material.

906
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: So that's a fine balancing.

907
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, so cool to shit. So you're obviously

908
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 2: a producer, both commercially but also film producer as well.

909
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 2: This feels like, like you've just said, it's a completely

910
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 2: different skill set.

911
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

912
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 2: Would this like if someone was like, oh, I've loved

913
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 2: listening to this podcast, I want to be able to

914
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: do that or aspire to do that one day. Does

915
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 2: that mean you'd solowly focus on being a host producer

916
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 2: or would you be focused on being a producer and

917
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 2: then getting more into life like live events and talk

918
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 2: show events to kind of like be able to work

919
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 2: in the capacity that you did.

920
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: That's a really weird question, do you know what? I

921
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: think it completely depends. I don't think there's one like

922
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 1: clear route. But a lot of TV shows have host

923
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: producers as well, and it's the same thing. Like their

924
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: job is to look after the host and to make

925
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: sure that the hosts can give the best performance that

926
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: they can give and help them with script and things

927
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: like that. So you can switch it around. You know,

928
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 1: you can produce commercials, which I have done, and then

929
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: host produce an award show like this for me or

930
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: the logic is the same. If you understand production, you

931
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: understand broadcasting, you understand performance and what's required, it's all

932
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: kind of the same. You've got to you've got to

933
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: deliver a performance, and you've got to make sure that

934
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: the performer or the host can deliver that performance, and

935
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: that's your job to make sure that they can do

936
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: that in the.

937
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 2: Best possible way. Cose, So the skills are transferable. I

938
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 2: guess totally. It makes total sense. Thank you for explaining

939
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 2: that weird, nerdy question because you have been on fearlessly

940
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 2: Failing before. You talk about as a producer you have

941
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 2: a bye like a bible, which is like, did you

942
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 2: have a bible for bafts?

943
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: It's called a call sheet. So I call it a

944
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 1: bible because not to people in the industry, but to

945
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: people who aren't industry, because it's the best way to

946
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: explain to people what a coll sheet is. And it

947
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: basically has all the information that you need to know. So, yeah,

948
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: we have a call sheet, but it's very different. It's

949
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: like it's kind of just like what time pickups? Yeah,

950
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, is what time maker here a makeup, what

951
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: time we need to be rehearsal, what downtime we have,

952
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: what time we need to be on the carpet. It's

953
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: it's very limited. You know, production probably has a full

954
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: call sheet for the baft's actual production the show. But

955
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: because my job is not producing the show, it's literally

956
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: just producing the host, we're kind of kept separate from that.

957
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 2: Did you have to have and I think you kind

958
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,320
Speaker 2: of just touched on this, but like being the host producer,

959
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 2: did you have quite a close relationship to the show producer? Yeah,

960
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 2: because I imagine it's like hand in glove or whatever that's saying,

961
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,720
Speaker 2: is like the show and the host have to become

962
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 2: the one thing.

963
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah, And I as I said,

964
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: like they were all like everyone we had to work

965
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: with was just like knockout amazing. But that's the thing.

966
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 1: So we would natter, and even during rehearsals, they would

967
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 1: come up to me and I'd be like, Okay, what

968
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: what are they going to say?

969
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 2: Now?

970
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: What do we have to cut? And we'd have a

971
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: conversation about whatever. It's like, okay, noted, you let me

972
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: work out how to deal with that. Oh wow. But

973
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: I think I'm really lucky because I've worked with Rebel

974
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: for like over twenty years on and off, so we

975
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 1: have a very good working relationship. And I didn't even

976
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: realize it until I think one of the lady I

977
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: think Katie at the BBC, was like, you guys have

978
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,040
Speaker 1: such good shorthand, which of course we do, but I

979
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: I never thought of that before, and I think that

980
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 1: really helps. So I don't know how people do it

981
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: when you don't know the person, because I have no

982
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,240
Speaker 1: problem saying that's not working. You've only got fifteen minutes

983
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: or whatever needs to be.

984
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 2: That comes down to trust as well, and like, so

985
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 2: when you say shorthand, just for people listening, if they're like,

986
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 2: what was short haanding, you could almost like predict what

987
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 2: she was going to say, oh, what the like she'd

988
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 2: know where you're going if you're like Hana and you'd

989
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,280
Speaker 2: almost finish each other sentence.

990
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: That's kind of thing. Yeah. And also I don't have

991
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: a problem saying that won't work, whereas everyone else might

992
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: be like, So, I mean, I can talk about this.

993
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: But when we went into the BBC and we did

994
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: the first read through, I could see Catherine, one of

995
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: the executive producers. The more we went on, her face

996
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: has got more and more concern and I could tell,

997
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: and this is where producing comes in, that she was going,

998
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,919
Speaker 1: this is way too long. Like I could just see

999
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: in her face, like you know. And so the first

1000
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: thing I did when we finished that meeting is I

1001
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: went up to it and I said, I know exactly

1002
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 1: what you're thinking. Please don't worry. This is all there's

1003
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: like material in there that we're trying. This will be

1004
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: cut down by fifty percent by showtime. And she's like, okay,

1005
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: thank you, so good. So you read the room, you

1006
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: read the play, so on the spot. Yeah, but in

1007
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: that we knew it was too long. And I have

1008
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,479
Speaker 1: no problem saying, rede, it's too long, which we already knew.

1009
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: But do you know what I mean, it's that type

1010
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: of is that short hair? Is that short? Yeah? Yeah?

1011
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 2: And also like an honesty in trust between the yeah

1012
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 2: persent and which I imagine once you've got that is

1013
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:41,720
Speaker 2: like dynamite duo, like a and I also I also

1014
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: feel like you would be a really invaluable person because

1015
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 2: I don't.

1016
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 1: Know, but like it's I think this industry is amazing.

1017
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 2: But I imagine when you find someone that you really trust,

1018
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 2: that has your back and then there's genuinely wants you

1019
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 2: to do the best that you can do, I imagine that

1020
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 2: as reasonably rare, and so it's a testament to you

1021
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 2: as well.

1022
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: Oh thanks, but it is. I think it's a huge

1023
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: thing in this industry is you're thrown into these situations

1024
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: like we were. As I said before, you have no

1025
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: idea what you're walking into. So it's all on her. Really,

1026
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: she's the face of this show. I'm not the face

1027
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: the BBC. I mean, it's their name to it, but

1028
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: she's the one that's got to carry it. Yeah, And

1029
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: I can understand how important it is to have someone

1030
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: like you were saying, that you completely trust, that you

1031
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: know has got your back, that your know is going

1032
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: to tell you if something is shit or not working

1033
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: or if something is working. And to have that, I

1034
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 1: think is such a huge thing. And I think that's

1035
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 1: like just in any industry. And what I equate it

1036
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:54,240
Speaker 1: to is if you're hiring for a job. You're hiring

1037
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 1: someone and you've got two candidates and they're both as

1038
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: good as the other, but one you know really well,

1039
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: You're more than likely going to take the one you

1040
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 1: know really well because you know what you're getting, you

1041
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: know what they're about, you know how they operate as

1042
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: opposed to the one who you've met twice in an interview.

1043
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: And it's that same thing. And that's why a lot

1044
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: of actors and celebrities and hosts and stuff like to

1045
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: have their key team with them, the same people to

1046
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: dress them so they feel comfortable, the same glam team,

1047
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, because it makes you feel comfortable. You're not

1048
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: sitting there an hour before you're about to go and

1049
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: host a buff to bafters going what the fuck is

1050
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: this makeup person doing to my face? You know they've

1051
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: done you a thousand times. You know they're going to

1052
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: pull it out of the park. And thank god that

1053
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 1: we did that because we had that situation where there's

1054
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: a tiny time frame. Now, if that was someone that

1055
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: had never worked with her before, that could have been

1056
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: a complete disaster. They were just like on it. They're amazing.

1057
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 2: I also think with glam and styling as well, there's

1058
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 2: a real sense of vulnerability. Like I learned really early on.

1059
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm going to stay my insecurities because then,

1060
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 2: and I say to photographers that I have worked with

1061
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 2: as well, because then you know you're going to be

1062
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 2: shot in the way that suits you. And then I

1063
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 2: think when you find that fear, it becomes a no

1064
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 2: brainer because it's something it's like a confidence that you

1065
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 2: don't need to think about because you know that these

1066
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 2: people a bit like though I were talking about like

1067
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 2: a testament too, but you know you're going to get

1068
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 2: what you want and need, and then you're going to

1069
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 2: be feeling confident. And I think a key with like

1070
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 2: carrying something as ginormous and epic as the BAFT is

1071
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 2: you need to feel bloody confident because it's really down to.

1072
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: You to make or break this night. Really like from a.

1073
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 2: Pressure perspective, oh it's huge, Like, oh my goodness, I

1074
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 2: could nerd out about this kind of thing. All love

1075
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 2: I've got some fun bafter facts.

1076
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: Well, I have fun bafter facts too, but you've stolen

1077
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: them and you already put them into the interview. What

1078
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: do you mean by two facts? You've already put them

1079
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: into the interview? Yeah, because you're trying to be all

1080
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: brain and like you use ship and now I can't

1081
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: use them, so it looks like I'm unprepared. What were

1082
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:06,439
Speaker 1: you want?

1083
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 2: So what the red carpet was so long?

1084
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: No? But that's that's a pretty good one. No, my

1085
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: my fun baft of fact. Oh that it was changed

1086
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: from before the office. Yes, and then I had a

1087
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 1: backup because I was smart. And you use that one too,

1088
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: which is the Rebel was the second female ever to host.

1089
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 2: The God dang it. Okay, okay, I've got some of

1090
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 2: you ready for this.

1091
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:30,760
Speaker 1: Okay.

1092
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 2: Do you know that the mask weighs three point seven kilos?

1093
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: No? But I know it's heavy the award should I say? Yeah,

1094
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: Well that's going to feel pretty solid. Yeah, it's bloody heavy.

1095
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: Did you hold it? Yes? Yeah? Well they have a

1096
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:47,439
Speaker 1: table of them all backstage because you literally take when

1097
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 1: you win, you get that you literally think that. I

1098
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 1: think I have a photo which we can put on

1099
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: Socials and they have a whole table backstage with all

1100
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: the awards and then in front the name of the

1101
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: person who's presenting the award and what the award is.

1102
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: And then they come and the stage manager says, and

1103
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 1: now pick up the award and then they walk out.

1104
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 2: And then does it get engraved after the backstage?

1105
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: Yes? On the spot? Oh, I don't know. I think

1106
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: it happened like this is just from watching. I'm such

1107
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: a nerd.

1108
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 2: But bts of the oscars, Like I think there's an

1109
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 2: engraver I think or maybe not.

1110
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: Maybe it's no. This is a very good logistics question

1111
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,959
Speaker 1: because I've never thought about it. But at some point

1112
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 1: they've got to get their name on it, don't they.

1113
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 2: Because you see all the actors partying at the after

1114
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 2: parties awards.

1115
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: There certainly wasn't a engraver anyway near me.

1116
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 2: Okay, you know to know? Okay, another one? There are

1117
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:49,320
Speaker 2: bafter officers in Los Angeles, New York, Scotland and Wales.

1118
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: Okay does that track for you? Sure?

1119
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 2: I mean news to me. You're going to know the

1120
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 2: answer to this. We talked about before. But the person

1121
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 2: that's been nominated the most for the most baftists. Okay,

1122
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 2: and he's won ten.

1123
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: That's pretty happy. Yeah, that's huge. But also it's interesting

1124
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: because that's an American, not yeah, a brit And that's

1125
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: one thing that I like about the Baftis is that

1126
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: they almost promote, try and promote more British films than

1127
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: the Academy does obvious reasons. But it's kind of nice

1128
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: because you get a bit of a mix. It's not

1129
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: all the same films that are in the Academy.

1130
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 2: And of course you've been to the actors too, which

1131
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 2: is the awards? Is that only I should know this?

1132
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 2: But is that only Australian like films?

1133
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, No, they do have like an international category

1134
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: from memory?

1135
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 2: Did because you went to that just at the end

1136
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 2: of last year, didn't you?

1137
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: Yes?

1138
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 2: Did that feel like on a scale because obviously Australia

1139
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 2: is smaller, we have a small population. How did that

1140
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 2: feel scale wise versus the Bafts?

1141
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: It's no. When near a grand I hate saying that

1142
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: I wish it was, but it's I was in the

1143
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 1: opera house in the main which is beautilno gorgeous, but

1144
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: that actually inside the console hall is quite small and

1145
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 1: and yeah, and then the little after party is kind

1146
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: of just in the foyer of that's the after party.

1147
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: That's the after party of Upper House.

1148
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 2: Did you go to an after party proper, like a

1149
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 2: fun after party?

1150
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: No, that that was it?

1151
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah, I didn't expect to talk about the actors,

1152
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 2: but loving it just is a little out of And

1153
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 2: then the final thing was Meryl Streep has famously like

1154
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 2: had a blunder on stage collecting a b after instead

1155
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 2: of saying I'd like to thank she literally said I'd

1156
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 2: like to spank.

1157
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: And it was a total that.

1158
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 2: Had no likes and like the og Meryl Street, they

1159
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 2: were my facts.

1160
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: That's a good rude. Well, we were really lucky because

1161
00:58:55,000 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: we did not have anything go wrong. Yes, seamless was seamless,

1162
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: like there was not one hiccup and there was so

1163
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 1: many moving parts and it was the first time that

1164
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: they've done a lot of stuff in the audience, so

1165
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: any and we had cakes and god, oh yeah, it.

1166
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 2: Can never say it's come about? How do you say

1167
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 2: the name?

1168
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: And did it come about? Yeah? I love how it

1169
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: was like, so you're vegan.

1170
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 2: I know this is a vegan handing out cutlery to

1171
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 2: the guests.

1172
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: But fun fact it was a vegan cake no, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1173
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: we had a special vegan cake maker maker. Did people

1174
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: eat it? Yeah? I think so, but very like they're

1175
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: a bit scared because I think they're like, what is

1176
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: there something in this?

1177
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 2: Like?

1178
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: Got it? Yeah? So good? So good? Right?

1179
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 2: Oh, there you have it behind the scenes of the Baptist.
