1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,119
Speaker 2: Being the host of a TV show that's lasted two

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: thousand episodes is extraordinary. Sarah Harris is that host and

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: she joins us right now. Hello Sarah for Studio ten.

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: Hello, oh hey, guys, thanks so much for having me.

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: Can you believe two thousand episodes? We've tried to do

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: the maths on this, but when you get a group

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: of journalists together and try to work try to work

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: out a calculation, it doesn't quite work. Somewhere between in

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: the vicinity of five to seven thousand hours of television

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: we've done during that time, when you factor in the

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: role of youth and all the other shenanigans we've gotten

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: up to over to you.

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: It is crazy. And also we would like to give

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: you our condolences for the loss of John o'coleman, who

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: passed away just a couple of weeks ago. How are

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: you guys coping?

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: Do you know what? And I know Amanda you were

19
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: close with him from your work on Wonder World. It

20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: was a real it was a body blow. He made

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: everything fun. We knew I certainly knew that he had

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: been unwell, but it still doesn't feel real. And I

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: think part of that is the fact that everyone's been

24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: locked down and in Sydney and there was no kind

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: of getting together as a kind of a group of

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: friends to celebrated his life. So that's what we tried

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: to do on the show, and we were so I

28
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: feel like in so many ways we were so fortunate

29
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: to have that platform to give him a little friend

30
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: off and off we called. It was just such a

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: beautiful man, was an Amanda.

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he really was. And you're right, we've lost a

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 2: couple of people in these circumstances and I think as

34
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: humans we need that right of passage of a funeral

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: so that you get all the fields and and you

36
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: can acknowledge their passing. It's been very strange, Yeah, and.

37
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: I think a life lived needs to be marked. And

38
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, working in television obviously and having that play

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: form has been amazing, But your heart just goes out

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: to all of those other families who haven't been able

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: to say a proper goodbye. Yeah. I think we were.

42
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: It was such a surreal weekend and morning the morning

43
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: of the tribute show because you look around throughout the

44
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: newsroom and were such a tight team and we all

45
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: loved John Oh so much that producers are sitting at

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: their desks watching the vision and crying and laughing at

47
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: the same time. You think, oh, it's just heaven, and

48
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: that's that's the last I'm going to see with him. Yes,

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of ugly crying on the show

50
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: during the eight mill eight years we've been on air.

51
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: But that's just that's just real emotion. And that's I'm

52
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: sure you guys know as well that when you're on

53
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: here for that long, you just can't fake stuff. People.

54
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: People can smell a rat, people can smell a fake

55
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: from a mile away, and you know that's what. That's all.

56
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: We're really good at being yeah, for four hours a day.

57
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: Well, I no, I've been on the show, and I

58
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: always find because you get in there early and then

59
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 3: and I remember hosting it, and then all of a

60
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: sudden it goes to like at eight o'clock the show

61
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: starts again. And I said, well, what's this And you said, oh, well,

62
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: this is the show starting again. I said, but we've

63
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 3: been on air for an hour.

64
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: It's a lot of my hat off to you, Sarah this.

65
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: I can't think of anyone else who could host this

66
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: show like you that the topics you have to cover

67
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: every day. I just don't know how you do it.

68
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: Three hours of breakfast radio is hard, but your job

69
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: just you're so polished and it looks so hard. You

70
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: don't make it look hard, but I imagine it must be.

71
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: That's coming from you. That is amazing, Amandaella. Honestly, that

72
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: is wow. You've made my day. Look, we all just

73
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: kind of scrap in and put on the best show

74
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: we possibly can every day. But you're right, you have

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: to be across everything. You need to know what's going

76
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: on with Britney Spears, but at the same time you

77
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: will also need to know what's going on in Lockdown

78
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: and go to Sydney and the politics behind it. So

79
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: I like that though. I like being across everything and

80
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: and and knowing what's going on and being informed. So

81
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: it's perfect for me. And I also love that you

82
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: get to that I get to, you know, really kind

83
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: of get into the heavy kind of issues.

84
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: But also have a lot thing that.

85
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,480

96
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: We we did the hand drive from Greece a couple

97

Speaker 2: So so don't laugh and dance at the same time.
