<v Speaker 3>like an extended member of the family.

0:01:38.364 --> 0:01:40.244
<v Speaker 2>But you know, years ago, I was just saying to Amanda,

0:01:40.244 --> 0:01:42.044
<v Speaker 2>We're on a TV show called Clever and you were

0:01:42.084 --> 0:01:44.643
<v Speaker 2>just born, and I was on the panel with your dad.

0:01:44.844 --> 0:01:47.044
<v Speaker 2>Amanda was on the panel with Terry, you know, and

0:01:47.084 --> 0:01:49.524
<v Speaker 2>it was just, you know, I'm so proud of you.

0:01:49.564 --> 0:01:51.484
<v Speaker 2>I think it's such a great thing. He turned into

0:01:51.764 --> 0:01:54.684
<v Speaker 2>such a fine young man. Don't tell we all know,

0:01:54.844 --> 0:01:56.084
<v Speaker 2>but I can't believe you're twenty two.

0:01:56.244 --> 0:01:58.924
<v Speaker 4>Like it feels like you're about You're like Highland. You

0:01:58.964 --> 0:02:01.164
<v Speaker 4>feel like a lot older than what you are. Oh well,

0:02:01.204 --> 0:02:01.364
<v Speaker 4>you know.

0:02:01.524 --> 0:02:06.004
<v Speaker 3>I I'm very, very grateful for my parents for what

0:02:06.084 --> 0:02:10.164
<v Speaker 3>they what they created, not only this this amazing legacy

0:02:10.163 --> 0:02:13.763
<v Speaker 3>that I get to continue, but also just the example

0:02:13.804 --> 0:02:18.004
<v Speaker 3>of what it is to live life with passion, with empathy,

0:02:18.404 --> 0:02:20.604
<v Speaker 3>treating every living being the way you would.

0:02:20.404 --> 0:02:21.204
<v Speaker 4>Wish to be treated.

0:02:21.244 --> 0:02:25.524
<v Speaker 3>And my job is to amplify this amazing message that

0:02:25.603 --> 0:02:29.684
<v Speaker 3>they pioneered to a new generation and that is incredibly special.

0:02:30.004 --> 0:02:32.524
<v Speaker 3>And every time I talk to you guys and I

0:02:32.603 --> 0:02:35.644
<v Speaker 3>hear stories about you know, when your paths cross, particularly

0:02:35.724 --> 0:02:38.324
<v Speaker 3>with Dad and with my mum along the way, it's

0:02:38.444 --> 0:02:39.124
<v Speaker 3>very meaningful.

0:02:39.163 --> 0:02:41.564
<v Speaker 4>And I'm proud to be on the path that I am.

0:02:41.564 --> 0:02:45.163
<v Speaker 3>And I'm always represent representing Australia at Australia Zoo. I mean,

0:02:45.204 --> 0:02:47.883
<v Speaker 3>I'm in khaki right now. I try to convince the

0:02:47.964 --> 0:02:50.204
<v Speaker 3>legis to let me wear this. But you know, I

0:02:50.244 --> 0:02:51.684
<v Speaker 3>always represent my family.

0:02:51.923 --> 0:02:56.883
<v Speaker 1>But when your incredible success in the States, you're not

0:02:56.964 --> 0:02:58.923
<v Speaker 1>a guy ever to be up yourself, but you must

0:02:58.923 --> 0:03:01.283
<v Speaker 1>have been surrounded by a lot of up yourself ossity.

0:03:02.404 --> 0:03:06.844
<v Speaker 4>It's a technical term, yes, yourself posity. I like that, yes.

0:03:07.084 --> 0:03:10.604
<v Speaker 3>And you learn very very very quickly when you are

0:03:10.684 --> 0:03:12.603
<v Speaker 3>in the public eye in anyway.

0:03:13.284 --> 0:03:15.484
<v Speaker 4>You don't listen to comments. You don't listen to.

0:03:15.444 --> 0:03:18.123
<v Speaker 3>The noise, whether it's good, bad, or indifferent, you don't

0:03:18.163 --> 0:03:18.684
<v Speaker 3>listen to it.

0:03:18.803 --> 0:03:19.804
<v Speaker 4>You run your own race.

0:03:19.844 --> 0:03:23.404
<v Speaker 3>And for me, I'm like, I'm a conservationist.

0:03:23.564 --> 0:03:26.243
<v Speaker 4>I'm a zoo keeper from Bea. That's what I am,

0:03:26.564 --> 0:03:29.364
<v Speaker 4>you know, And so I have this cause and this

0:03:29.483 --> 0:03:30.683
<v Speaker 4>mission behind it all.

0:03:30.564 --> 0:03:34.963
<v Speaker 3>And it means it's the waters are never cloudy, it's

0:03:35.004 --> 0:03:35.564
<v Speaker 3>never muddy.

0:03:35.564 --> 0:03:37.644
<v Speaker 4>I'm pretty clear, I know my true north.

0:03:37.844 --> 0:03:40.364
<v Speaker 3>I'm finding some pretty weird and wacky ways to get

0:03:40.404 --> 0:03:44.644
<v Speaker 3>the message out there, but that message is always you know,

0:03:45.044 --> 0:03:48.564
<v Speaker 3>that's the truth. But yeah, you can't listen to all

0:03:48.604 --> 0:03:49.724
<v Speaker 3>the superfluous stuff.

0:03:49.484 --> 0:03:51.364
<v Speaker 2>Because but that's what your dad used to say.

0:03:51.404 --> 0:03:53.124
<v Speaker 4>And unfortunately you're sounding too charming.

0:03:53.164 --> 0:03:55.924
<v Speaker 2>You're not helping our campaign for a man, Can you

0:03:56.004 --> 0:03:57.164
<v Speaker 2>be a bit of an a hole?

0:03:57.644 --> 0:03:58.164
<v Speaker 3>Can you do?

0:03:58.924 --> 0:04:00.204
<v Speaker 2>I want my girl here to win.

0:04:01.363 --> 0:04:03.964
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's talk about you hosting on the night. What

0:04:04.244 --> 0:04:05.564
<v Speaker 1>style of a host will you be?

0:04:06.164 --> 0:04:06.324
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:04:06.604 --> 0:04:08.363
<v Speaker 4>Just just absolutely savage.

0:04:08.884 --> 0:04:11.004
<v Speaker 3>Think it's going to be a little different, you know,

0:04:11.044 --> 0:04:14.484
<v Speaker 3>and I love watching Sampaign of course when he hosted,

0:04:14.524 --> 0:04:16.844
<v Speaker 3>and and this is going to be a very different vibe.

0:04:16.844 --> 0:04:18.884
<v Speaker 3>But I want this to be you know, we're celebrating

0:04:18.924 --> 0:04:21.284
<v Speaker 3>seventy years Ozzie TV. So I want it to be

0:04:21.404 --> 0:04:24.563
<v Speaker 3>like a celebration of all the legends that have made

0:04:24.604 --> 0:04:27.564
<v Speaker 3>this what it is, and a celebration the next generation

0:04:27.644 --> 0:04:29.884
<v Speaker 3>that are going to come up and hopefully keep going

0:04:29.884 --> 0:04:33.484
<v Speaker 3>for the next seventy years. You know, it's fun, it's theatrical.

0:04:33.524 --> 0:04:36.084
<v Speaker 3>There's going to be some real wildlife moments in there.

0:04:35.924 --> 0:04:37.924
<v Speaker 1>As well, really some dancing.

0:04:38.924 --> 0:04:41.644
<v Speaker 3>Well let's just say maybe the ballroom shoes might have

0:04:41.684 --> 0:04:44.564
<v Speaker 3>to get a little du yes, yes, so no, It's

0:04:44.564 --> 0:04:46.524
<v Speaker 3>going to be big and bold and bright, and I

0:04:46.604 --> 0:04:48.364
<v Speaker 3>just want to lift everyone up and I want everyone

0:04:48.444 --> 0:04:50.243
<v Speaker 3>to have a good laugh, a good time.

0:04:50.484 --> 0:04:52.044
<v Speaker 4>And we're still going to be poking fun, but most

0:04:52.044 --> 0:04:53.204
<v Speaker 4>of that's going to be directed at me.

0:04:54.084 --> 0:04:56.284
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing. I think in those COVID years, we

0:04:56.324 --> 0:04:58.284
<v Speaker 1>all realized how important television is to us.

0:04:58.284 --> 0:04:58.404
<v Speaker 3>All.

0:04:58.484 --> 0:05:00.324
<v Speaker 1>I think some cynicism has dropped away.

0:05:00.284 --> 0:05:03.484
<v Speaker 3>Okay, and I think we need to remember. Like I

0:05:03.644 --> 0:05:07.564
<v Speaker 3>talk about this with my generation. You know, it is

0:05:07.604 --> 0:05:09.844
<v Speaker 3>so in the zeitgeist of every thing that we say,

0:05:09.924 --> 0:05:12.844
<v Speaker 3>and it's in our vernacular and Ossie TV is so

0:05:13.524 --> 0:05:16.164
<v Speaker 3>embedded in our culture. And you know, I look at

0:05:16.164 --> 0:05:19.244
<v Speaker 3>my mom and dad, look at the incredible things they

0:05:19.284 --> 0:05:21.684
<v Speaker 3>could do, the stories they could tell, the adventures they

0:05:21.724 --> 0:05:25.284
<v Speaker 3>brought everyone on through through TV, and and you know

0:05:25.404 --> 0:05:26.524
<v Speaker 3>it's alive.

0:05:26.164 --> 0:05:28.444
<v Speaker 4>And well, and I want to bring the new generation

0:05:28.564 --> 0:05:29.004
<v Speaker 4>in on that.

0:05:29.124 --> 0:05:29.364
<v Speaker 3>Really.

0:05:29.924 --> 0:05:32.684
<v Speaker 2>Well, I will say this, jem I Rye here who

0:05:32.724 --> 0:05:37.004
<v Speaker 2>you've met. That's a very dab impersonation. And that's a sign.

0:05:37.244 --> 0:05:39.644
<v Speaker 2>But that's a sign of success, Robert. You know when

0:05:39.684 --> 0:05:51.964
<v Speaker 2>you've got people impersonating, just just say just say.
