Indeed, she added to the lift. 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.880 She had a good answer to her. She did I 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.160 embarrassed myself in front of her as a drunken four 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.200 weeks ago, so we asked her about that and overall 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:57.120 it's a solid chat. 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:58.040 So yeah, we loved her. 0:00:58.280 --> 0:00:59.840 Asked with angela Bishop enjoying. 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:08.560 Ladies and general Bishop, thanks for coming in so excited 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:09.920 to be thank you for having me. 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:11.880 You're excited to have you.

They trusted her team 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.960 trusted me with the secret, and I pre recorded an 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.840 interview to run on the day with her. And back then, 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.240 back then, she didn't do interviews because she didn't have to. 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.480 She had a show, and so it was like the 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.320 first interview she'd done about five years. And they trusted 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.119 me with the information that they had told no one 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.360 this whole surprise that she was coming to Australia, and 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.280 I had to keep that a secret. So I can 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:27.000 be trusted with anything.

So I got the 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.520 passports out and counted the stamps. The stamps and I'd 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.760 gone up to it was about one hundred and thirty. 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.800 So since then, I've obviously been more, so we'll probably 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.039 talk maybe one hundred and fifty times, or which I 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:04.800 can honestly tell you is more times than I've been 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:10.040 to Bond Eye, you know, or Melbourne. You know. Literally 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.200 it's like getting on the bus for me and sometimes 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.600 I go over and back on the same day. Actually 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.559 you arrive at six a m.

It was just chatting 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.800 to Roseburn a bit earlier. Who's you know, fantastic great 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.960 Australian actress and so forth. But it isn't the same 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.719 just even being in the old hotel room at the 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.800 Four Seasons in la there's just that you're bonding with 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.640 someone when they're in the same room. The only thing 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.200 I will say is what I I have talked to 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.320 a lot of rock stars at home in their home 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.320 over this period, and there's something about a rock star 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.640 in his own home. He's super comfortable. Like Alice Cooper 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.320 I was chatting to, you know, and I've spoken to 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.839 him a lot over there, and suddenly he's like showing 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.760 me around his house and very very very open and 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:19.200 very very. 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.120 They're picking up the laptop. Yeah wow, and so. 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:24.880 Yeah around because they're a bit more comfortable to get 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.440 some extra stuff from them. So there's that payoff, but 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:29.599 no back, you're back. 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.280 Looking forward to flying back to LA. 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.240 Yes, and I've been about six times, so that pales 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.200 in comparison.

I kicked the last 0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.319 sort of fifteen people out of the room when the 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.720 minibar finished at about three or four am, whatever it was. 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.200 I had a full day of interviews the next day, 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.360 starting with Julia Roberts at eight. Oh god, but I 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.840 was there, I was ready. I did a professional But 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.400 the last interview was Hugh Grant at I think by 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.520 then it was six pm, quarter past six, and my 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:21.560 flight home was that nice. And I'm waiting outside. I'm 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.040 the next one in, and just as I'm about to 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:28.040 go in, I hear Hugh Grant say, oh, actually I'm 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:29.559 getting a bit tired. I might't take a bit of 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.599 a quick break. And I just went on because I 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:33.800 was on a time schedule to get to the airport. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.240 I have to collect on my tapes, as we did 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.000 back in those days and other days. And I went, 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:44.000 you're tired. He turns around and goes and I said, right, well, 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.040 I only flew in yesterday from Australia. I've done all 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.840 these shooting to promote your movie and all these interviews today, 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.720 and I've got to fly home tonight and then put 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.360 it all on air as soon as I get back. 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:57.240 And I'm exhausted. And he goes and I looked and 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.000 I thought, I've either wrecked this, that's not going to happen. 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.240 And he said, right, you win, We're doing it now. 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.240 And he was fantastic and it was funny, and he 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.360 was sarcastic. Guys, so I've got this winging Australian to 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:15.559 interview now, stop whinging about how busy she is and 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:20.120 who's the movie star in this conversation, and he was terrific. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.000 I did hold my breath for a moment because. 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.079 He could have been a real diva about that and mean, like, well, 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.120 by your interview, you could have just canceled it. 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.720 H Yeah, how you just start every interview now, you 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:30.160 like it worked. 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:35.400 Once you come across many divain your time, I'm sure 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.439 you would have not as many as you'd reckon. 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.760 Okay, not as many people don't do that in front 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.320 of the media. They really don't because it's you know, 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.560 especially now where it will be on socials and out 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:48.960 to the world. 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:51.840 Some on TikTok. It's got a million views in a minute. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:55.199 No, that just no, they don't. People are good. People 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:56.000 are good, they're nice. 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:57.719 They're speaking of TikTok. There have been a lot of 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.800 videos where people rank their celeb encounters out of ten, 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:03.640 like people who might have been waited at a restaurant. 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.959 They're like, oh, this person was rude one out of ten. 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.040 Imagine Anne's doing that. If she just went like honesty, 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:13.280 it'd be amazing. Follow she's shaking her head, she's like. 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:18.200 Not having it. She's media REVLT. So how old were 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.160 you when you started meeting? In your twenties? Right? 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.560 I started at Channel ten just after I turned twenty. 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.720 Wow, had you studied? 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.400 Yes? So I have a political science degree from the 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.240 University of the New Southwest because I was wanting to 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:35.600 be in journal. Great UNI, I think, so too, Yes, 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:42.840 well done Alma Marsha, Yes alumni. So I just wanted 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.440 to be a journal so I figured that was quite 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.240 a good degree to do. And I was like what 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.319 you'd call a normal journal, like general you know, politics 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.920 and all the rest of it. Until nineteen ninety four, 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:55.760 I didn't know. None of you people were born back then. 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.040 I don't even want to say in the year. But 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:58.440 that's when I became best. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.040 Marks around journey A quietly We're not actually fixed. 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.959 Well, that's when I became an entertainment reporter. So I've 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:08.360 been an entertainment reporter since then. 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:09.839 And that wasn't much of a thing back then. Was 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:11.920 that there wasn't like an entertainment section in the news. 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:13.760 No, definitely now the glossies, right. 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.679 I really had to pitch each and every story to 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.160 get it in and so forth. But one of my 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:20.960 early ones, I got sent over to New York to 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:26.040 interview Robert Devaal and Ron Howard, Michie Cunningham, you know, 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.320 the director, and Glenn Close and Michael Cagion. That was 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.720 my first big overseas trip to interview all of them, 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.280 and I was told to come back with it with 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.240 a really good promo line, I'm toast. The show I 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.440 was actually working on was Alan Jones Live. He had 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:41.920 a current affairs show. 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.800 Oh my god, wow. 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:46.480 Okay, and I had to come back with a promo line. Now. 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.200 Robert Deval is very famous for a particular movie called 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.280 Apocalypse Now where he comes flying in on a helicopter 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.720 and says, I love the smell of knee palm in 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.840 the morning. Right, It's a very famous old movie quote. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.920 So I asked Robert duval to say, I still can't 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.080 believe I did this to this day. Would you mind 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.439 saying I'm Robert Duvall, and I love the smell of 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.120 napalm in the morning, but I love the sound of 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:15.319 Alan Jones in the evening. Sure you guys, And it 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.960 goes okay rolling and he says, Hi, I'm Robert Duvall, 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:20.840 and I love the smell of napalm in the morning, 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.000 and I love the smell of Alan Jones in the evening, 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.280 which was just a slip of the tough and I said, 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.199 we're going to need that one more time if we could. 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:35.679 But we kept that one for the goofrill. Loved it. 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.680 We ran it, We ran head It was It was funny. 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.840 How nervous were you for your first ever overseas interview. 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:43.920 Yeah, you don't want to mess it up, because you 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.880 know you're on the plane to New York. I staying 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.440 at this fabulous hotel. It was, you know, and I 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.760 was wandering through Central Park on my own clearly, I 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.920 hadn't clearly asked for you wasn't on the or I 0:13:55.920 --> 0:14:02.960 would have hard than to walk through Central Park. But yeah, 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.559 you just didn't. I didn't want to mess it up. 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:05.080 I was. 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.480 But yeah, do you no nervous now or is that 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:09.440 not really a thing? 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:13.360 It's someone I love, if it's someone I worship, I 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:14.679 just don't want them to hate me. I don't want 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:16.960 them to become a dip. But yeah, that's the only 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.480 time I really get nervous. 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.240 Were you very chatty as a teenager as a kid 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.960 or you kind of shy chatty? Okay, so you've always 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.160 had a gift for conversation. 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.680 I don't know if it's a gift and I don't 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.480 shut up easily. Yeah, people considered that a gift. 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.040 Yeah, when that comes in handy when you're interviewing people, 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.000 you have to keep the conversation flowing, you do. 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.080 I mean, you're one of the most highly respected interviewers 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.360 in the country and entertainment reporters. Yes you are, no faces, 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.720 you don't look sharp? Yes, no, you really are. And 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.840 I would say the not one of the premiere. 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.920 Jenna's my new best friend, my alumni from the university 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:52.800 of well. 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.600 I saw Richie Wilkins at a red carp the other night. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.040 Iin't got to bed, go to bed. 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:58.280 Do not Disticky. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.200 We love Dicky, but that week he needs to refresh it. 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.120 He was releasing an album, is he I saw that 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.280 of his old Richard Wild songs? 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.680 Richard Wild? Is that what an old name? 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:12.000 Is it? 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.120 That was what he called himself when he was a singer. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.280 Oh, I didn't even know he was a singer. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.400 It made us think that the old Channel ten band, 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.160 hard and Fast from Behind could get a few of 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.800 the few the numbers out of the catalog. 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.400 I remember when I was working doing bits and pieces 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:31.920 with Studio ten, I was chatting to the producer. It's mutual, Dylan. 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:33.520 Let me tell you. I was talking to one of 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.560 the producers and they were all convinced that at the 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.320 time you were the unicorn on the masked singer. And 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.280 I said, Candela Bishop sing and they were like, yeah, 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.240 she used to be in a band. Is that true. 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:45.160 I had no idea. 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.200 Yeah, we had a Channel ten band because when we 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:52.280 went into receivership. One time they canceled the Christmas party. 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.360 Someone came around and to all the partners and said, 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.000 who can play an instrument? Who can be in? We 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.600 need to find a band for Christmas party. We used 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.320 to have, you know, in excess play at Channel ten 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.640 Christmas parties back in the day, and so now they 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.320 wanted the people in, you know, because we had no money. 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.720 And so they threw us all in a rehearsal studio 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.440 and said, right, come up with two sets for the 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:16.080 Christmas party. And we hardly knew each other, and there 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.160 was many bourbons into the into the evening. One night 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.600 they said, we need your name now we're making the posters, 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.080 Oh my god, and we came up with for whatever reason, 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.240 I'll never know, hard and Fast from behind, and that 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.400 was the name, and it was put on this giant 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.760 They paid the whole backdrop of a bull coming at you, 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:36.440 oh my god, and it went in the paper. 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.000 So it was yourself. Who else? 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.200 It was people from all around the station. So there 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:44.360 were two cameramen, a studio cameraman, a DA sound tech. 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.200 The audio tech was the drummer. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:47.920 You know. 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.000 It was just everybody who could do anything. We all 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:53.720 went in together and we've played on and off ever since. 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.520 So for really for nearly twenty five years. 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.480 If any of this on YouTube or not. You have 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:01.600 to really dig think. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.800 So I don't think because most of those gigs, we 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.639 did sell the most alcohol of any gig at the 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.639 Bridge Hotel at our main ever, and I believe that 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.159 has yet to be beaten. Really, our motto was the 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:18.359 more you drink, the better we sound. It works a 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.320
