Speaker 2: other things, of ABC satirical news segment The Roads. Tonight, though,

Speaker 2: is here to talk about it now, Mark High.

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: Oh, what a thrill.

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 2: You know.

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: I listened to you guys when I was doing the

11
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: HSC and it is absolutely I know. I'm sorry, God,

12
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: how old are you?

13
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

14
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm thirty eight.

15
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 3: Man, You're a grown You're a grown man.

16
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: Did we help you at all with your HSC?

17
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to brag, but my UAI is quite impressed.

18
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: We mustn't have helped it all that. I'd like to

19
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 3: take credit for that.

20
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: There you go. Thank you.

21
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: So I've always loved your your sense of humor, but

22
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: your your political wit in particular. So what are you

23
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: bringing to Channel seven credible?

24
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: Is that what I'm doing? Yes? Well, look, it's obviously

25
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: this is quite unusual. I think a lot of people

26
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: out there will think this is an unusual choice, myself included.

27
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: But yes, I'll be doing a three minute sort of

28
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: comedic wrap up at the end of the week on

29
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: seven News up until the time that they decided the

30
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: idea is it's not sustainable.

31
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: So at least we're getting you the week that it's on.

32
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. You were there.

33
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: To involve a piano. I don't want to invoke I.

34
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: Know Elliot Rose now, so sadly I'm not that talented nobody.

35
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: I'll just be at a desk. It'll be fairly simple

36
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: and I'm just just, you know, just a bit of

37
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: just a bit of light humor, just a few jokes

38
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: about the news and nothing to nothing to worry about.

39
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: The journalists listening can calm down, It's okay.

40
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: What about the politicians? Though, I hope you get to

41
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: you have your Barnaby work.

42
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: Oh I hope so.

43
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: Well.

44
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: That was the thing I did say to seven is

45
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: there anyone you know just what are the limitations? And

46
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: they just said, well, you know, just you Barnaby does

47
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: appear on Sunrise regularly, and I was like, oh, okay.

48
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: If he's out of his repertoire.

49
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: Exactly, and then so I put him in the first

50
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: sort of pilot sketch and they went yep, yep, no,

51
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: obviously he does appear on something, that's fine, that's fine,

52
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: that's fine. Yeah. So I think they're going to let

53
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: me do what I want for the moment.

54
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 4: And quite frankly, we need a light sense to the

55
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: new is because it's just dreadful news.

56
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: It's just it's hard at the moment.

57
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 4: The moment because now everyone everyone's a news reporter now,

58
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 4: and it seems to me the TV channels are just

59
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 4: putting it to air.

60
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: Kids fighting cars, running out of people.

61
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: That's because everyone's filming all the time. I love. I

62
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: don't know if you're still on Twitter or x but

63
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: the number of times everyday citizens start a tweet with

64
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: the words breaking, So I think everyone does feel like

65
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: there are journal is now. Yes, So now I'm pretending

66
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: to be a journalist, so this is my time to

67
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: take that role.

68
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: But i'd like to see that because you're right, Brennan,

69
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: the news cycle is really hard at the moment, so

70
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: sometimes hanging in is hard. So I'm glad I'm going

71
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: to hang.

72
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: In for you. Thank you, thank you. That's it. And

73
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: I think there's a good overlap between me and what

74
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm leading into, which is the home and away audience.

75
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: I think They're going to really love my brand of

76
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: political satire to be in your cozy. That's it. Yeah,

77
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: look out some of it.

78
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: Because at the end of the news they used to

79
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: have like the cute animal story, and that was always

80
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: a nice bit of levity to the horror of an

81
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: unpredictable news cycle, which is what we've got now. So

82
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: maybe you could hold small animals.

83
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: I think there's actually something in this, Amanda. Absolutely. I

84
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: was also thinking of having, like, you know how, sometimes

85
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: there's like an Osland interpreter in the corner, just like

86
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: I was thinking, just because sometimes my stuff might be

87
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: a little bit too high brown, I might just have

88
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: a little distant someone in the corner just explaining some

89
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: of the jokes and just I think that.

90
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 3: I think the problem with the Osland dudes.

91
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 4: There was that one guy during the pandemic that just

92
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: made it about him too much.

93
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: We didn't like him.

94
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: And there was one day a bird, Oh yes, remember

95
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: that was bird, and everyone's going on, Mike, you you okay,

96
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: I'm going to look, we're in the middle of a

97
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 3: worldwide pandemic. It's bird. He's not going to die.

98
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: That's it, and we needed That's it, and that was

99
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: a cute animal story. Is there?

100
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: So we've got animals. You sure got you and your

101
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: cozy before you go to home and away. I think

102
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: we've really helped.

103
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: To thank you.

104
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: If you could put the stars in there.

105
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: Can you combine that I've heard about this, if I've

106
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: heard that there might be a little I think that's

107
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: a great idea.

108
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: I apploid Channel set budding in the state.

109
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: They're not making you do that much.

110
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: No, well not yet. But when I arrived at seven,

111
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: I saw I walked into the new studio and the

112
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: first thing I saw was the cash cow costume, and

113
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: I thought, Oh, is that why I'm here.

114
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: I'm asking about this.

115
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: You have a beard, Yes, I have a slight.

116
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: Bead, which I'm not on TV at the moment. When

117
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: I let you keep the beard, Miguel constantly fought with

118
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: Channel ten because I wanted to get rid of the beard.

119
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: This is the big question for me because the beard

120
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: is working for me. You know, I'm really enjoying the beard.

121
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: You know, I went out on the bumble last year

122
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: and the beard did some wonders for me, so really

123
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: I did, so I'm not prepared to let it go.

124
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: So I'm it's not going without a fight.

125
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: Because it's not like a big, thick, bushy bed. It's

126
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: not Kelly, you haven't gone.

127
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: It's not Sir Henry Parks. So that's where the interpreter

128
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: will come up in the corner. Henry Parks helped the

129
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: Father of Federation and it's ABC Beard. But if you

130
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: could put a word in with seven, I don't want

131
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: to lose it.

132
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: Let the kid keep his bed for God's sake.

133
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: Campaign And if you've turned up the next week as

134
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 2: a cash cows, he's lost all his bargain and powers.

135
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: Somewhere on the right six fifteen.

136
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: I think this is brilliant.

137
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: Mark.

138
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 4: I remember where you were when you first heard this.

139
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 3: This is breaking news.

140
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: Mark Humphrey starts tonight live from six on Channel seven

141
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: and seven plus.

142
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 3: Mark, it's always great to catch up with you.

143
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: It's something
