But I think one thing 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: we can all admit that we have missed all the 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: way through lockdowns is Gruin, which is back tonight eight thirty, 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: ABC I View and ABC TV, and we've got the host, 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: the one and only Will Anderson, who joins the boys 8 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: right now.

That's as close to being introduced as 17 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 2: a gig I have had it in the last six months. 18 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: I appreciate it.

So you've had a day, 21 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: You've had a day or so you're filming in Sydney. 22 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: You've had a day of freedom, in Sydney, differences good bad, 23 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:09,919 Speaker 1: two days of freedom. 24 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: In fact, what's what have. 25 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: You noticed the most? 26 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 2: What did you do with you? 27 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: You found freedoms more importantly. 28 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: Well, I mean just so many freedoms. That's that's what 29 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 2: I've noticed. I've just been soaking up freedom, you know, 30 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: Like I went to Freedom Furniture. You just double down 31 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: at the Home of Freedom. I just sat on all 32 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: the couches. They said you shouldn't see it on those couches. 33 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 2: I said, it's Freedom Day, mate, Freedom Furniture. 34 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 3: Cham it. 35 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 2: I was there. I was dressed actually as Mel Gibson's character. 36 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 2: I thought, you know what the second day, George Michael, 37 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: I was doing freedom themes every day, and I am 38 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: willing to keep going. 39 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: Nice. That's the way to embrace it. 40 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 3: Don't go to the pub and the a meal with 41 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: your friends. Just use as many freedom puns as possible. 42 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 3: Bloody love it, I will. I recently heard you talking 43 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 3: about your dad's obsession with sport, to the point where 44 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 3: you actually asked your dad would you love me more 45 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 3: if I went to the Olympics. 46 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: And what was his answer? Yeah, yes, without hesitation. Yeah, 47 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: it's not the answer that I find offensive. Because of course, 48 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 2: if you think about it, like if he sat there 49 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 2: and he pondered it for ten or fifteen minutes and 50 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 2: he would have come to logical conclusion. Of course he 51 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 2: would love me more if I went to the Olympics. 52 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Like representing Australia Olympic Games rather 53 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: than embarrassing his family for years, Like telling Dick Joseph Stranger, 54 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: I pretending that's a living So. 55 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 3: Did he push you? Then? Did he push you to 56 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 3: become like an Olympian or elite athlete? 57 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: No, I'm not really. I mean, my dad, like you know, 58 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: has high hopes for me, but he's not an idiot. 59 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: He can understand. Like you know, I mean, when you 60 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: look at somebody lumbering around a football field looking like 61 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: a baby girafte that's just been born, shit, I probably 62 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: don't think let's push him into this. That was cruel. 63 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: Like at best, I could be the water boy. He 64 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 2: might have watched any of the eagle at the Winter 65 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: Olympics and thought, oh well, maybe I could have got 66 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: him to do that. I could have got on the 67 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: top of a mountain and pushed him down on some 68 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 2: sticks and got him to embarrassed himself on the world stage. 69 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know where the line is here, where 70 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: it goes from wishful parenting to really being cruelty your kids. 71 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: I think there are probably a lot of people listening 72 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: right now that have had that experience with their father though, 73 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: where they were just like, I am no good at this, 74 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: and I don't know why we continue to like for you. 75 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: For example, Will I knew you grew up on a 76 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: dairy farm, so there must have been a point there 77 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: where he realized you weren't going to be a farmer either. 78 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it was less of the point where 79 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: he realized I wasn't going to be a farmer, and 80 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: more the point where he realized he didn't want to 81 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: ruin the farm. I mean, it's been in the family 82 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: for generation. It was just like, come on this, we're 83 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: in the quickness descent, trying to milk a ball or something. 84 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: A football club that had won like three premierships in 85 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 2: a row, and then suddenly they're coming eighteenth. That would 86 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: have been our family part. Like two days later, everything 87 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: just would have been gone, Like Dad would have been, 88 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: where are the cows. I'm like, I don't know, they're gone. 89 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 2: They just left. Knew I was in competence our milk parts. 90 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: No thank you. Yeah, of course I grew up milking 91 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: cows like I did the equivalent of like, you know, 92 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: it's not like stand up where you just go in 93 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: and do five minutes. You're like, they throw you can't 94 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 2: milk a couple of cows at an open milk night. 95 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: You know? 96 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: The new series of Grewing Tonight A dirty A B 97 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: C I V ABC TV. We've got the one and 98 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: only Will Anderson who joins us if people haven't seen 99 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: grew And it's obviously it's all about advertising examining some 100 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: of the ads that just constantly in undated us, as 101 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: well as like there's all sorts of gear on there 102 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: that's really a reflection on our lives so far. Well 103 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: so this is why most to watch Grewing Tonight is 104 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: because you guys just pick apart, dissect and then take 105 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: the piss out of what's been going on. What is 106 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: on the agenda tonight? I mean, like, how did so 107 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: much on the chopping room floor? Surely it just seems 108 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: like you guys got to make a killing tonight on 109 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: on the ABC. 110 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: It's it's rare that I read social media feedback, but 111 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: earlier on in the year that when the government started 112 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: releasing vaccination ads, there suddenly was a whole lot of 113 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: people just going, where's Grewing? Why isn't Brewing making vaccination? 114 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: And we thought, you know what, hey guys, I thought, 115 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: it's not a race. We can take our time and 116 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: we can do it. It'll be fine anyway. It turns out, 117 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: much like the Australian vaccine rollout we grew in, a 118 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: vaccine ad rollout is going to happen to nice. Nice. 119 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: Not only are we going to talk about the vaccination 120 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: ads in Australia and all over the world and the 121 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: different techniques, but we're also going to get our pitch 122 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: agencies to make two more effective vaccination brilliant. So yeah, 123 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 2: it's going. 124 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 3: To be fun, awesome, awesome, and do you reckon they 125 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 3: are more effective with both of them more effective than 126 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 3: the real ones that we got earlier in the year. 127 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: Will Well, I mean that's for people to judge. Like 128 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: I Here's what I will not to say is it's 129 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: hard to make a vaccination ad that appeals to Do 130 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: you make them ones that appeal to everyone? Because most 131 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: of the ones that came out early. They just all 132 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 2: have the same scenes in them. It doesn't matter what 133 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 2: stated is. If it's Western Australia, if it's New South Wales, 134 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: it's like people at the pub, or people visiting their 135 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 2: family or you know, there's all these sort of certain 136 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 2: things that we all miss. Here's a couple little wedding 137 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 2: like they basically look like iPhone ads. That's what they look. 138 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: There was a Telstra logo, you'd be like, oh, yeah, 139 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: this phone's for everybody. But as we get closer and 140 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 2: closer and most people are actually vaccinated, and you know, 141 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 2: that's a great story about Australia at the moment, is 142 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 2: that most people are actually doing the right thing. We're 143 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: going to be world leaders in the amount of people 144 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: that get vaccinated. It's super exciting Australians are doing it 145 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 2: for each other. There's really only going to be about 146 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: ten percent of the population left now. Five percent of 147 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: those are people who've decided, for whatever reason, I am 148 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 2: never going to not for them. But there is another 149 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 2: five percent who are people who are slightly hesitant or 150 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: maybe they just haven't booked it in yet, or it 151 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 2: feels too hard, or they're getting some bad information. They're 152 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 2: the ones that you can still get and they're the 153 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: really important ones because they protect the ones who won't 154 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: do it completely right. So, when we get to the 155 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: levels we're at now, do you have to change the 156 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: advertising because suddenly you're not targeting everyone it's actually already 157 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 2: got vacks. Yeah, you just have to target that five 158 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: percent who are really hesitant. So I think as the 159 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: world progresses, you've also change the advertising and the focus 160 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 2: of the advertiser. 161 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: At what point is it So it probably moves then 162 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: from it transitions from being a phone an advertisement for 163 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: an iPhone or something.
