So it's actually months. Yeah, 14 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 3: it's sort of flown by in many many ways, and 15 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 3: particularly this year because obviously it's got back from the Olympics. 16 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 3: Ye down on Monday. 17 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: I was going to say, do you know where you are? 18 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: Because Paris would have been busy, but fantastic it was. 19 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 3: It was unreal and I've had so many people go, oh, 20 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 3: do you have a chance to shop and all. It's 21 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 3: like I bought the kids residents at the airport on 22 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 3: the way out. One of those I think you've always 23 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 3: got that vision of what it's going to be, but 24 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 3: it was, oh my gosh, it was the best experience 25 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,919 Speaker 3: over there. It was so much fun. 26 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 2: So on a current affair, what have been the most 27 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: interesting stories that you've covered in the eighteen months? 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 3: Look, I think probably how we kicked off our very 29 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 3: first show, which was the show focused on domestic violence. 30 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: That for me was really really important just to sort 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 3: of set the tone of the type of things that 32 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 3: that we're going to look at. I also remember at 33 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 3: the end of that show going all right, tomorrow night, 34 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 3: I need a dodgy builder, I need si Acka. And 35 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: that's what that's what I sort of love about. You know, 36 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 3: what we're doing with the show is that you don't 37 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 3: tune in each night knowing exactly what you're going to get. 38 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 3: It can be entirely, entirely different. So, you know, even 39 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: just Monday night this week we had it. It was 40 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: a good old landlord neighborhood dispute. And then Tuesday I 41 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 3: did a piece on a poor family whose kids were 42 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 3: taken away because I were wrongly accused of shaking their baby. 43 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 3: And it was a three year battled clear their name 44 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: and I left bankrupt from it all. So it's kind 45 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 3: of I kind of like that. There's not a way 46 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 3: that you say, we say exactly what our show is anymore. Yeah, 47 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 3: it changes, but it's got lots of heart and soul. 48 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 3: That's the thing I say to the guys. Got heart 49 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: and soul at works. 50 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: It's a spicy life, isn't it, monjui. Sometimes these stories 51 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: test their professionalism and when it comes to emotion, don't they. 52 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: You've got to really you're get to hold on. 53 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 3: Look absolutely, I own my heart on my sleep too. 54 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: I find it, you know, I remem if I go 55 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 3: back to you to sixty minutes. We had to stop 56 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 3: an interview because produces going Alie, you're crying more than 57 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 3: the person happened. You know.

But he's 74 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 3: doing so well now. We went out for doing that 75 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 3: for lunch a little while ago to and we went 76 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: to Japanese. I introduced him to it with Saby. I 77 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 3: don't know if he's my friend anymore. He's a sweetheart. Yeah. 78 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, So the Paris Olympics, do you have a favorite 79 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: moment from your time there? 80 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: You know, it's so hard because I think that I mean, 81 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: there were obviously there were so many great moments. There 82 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 3: was I think that Fox Sisters when we were on 83 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: air when Naami won the kayak cross and Chess jumped 84 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 3: in the water and you could see that, you know, 85 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 3: I think like that gold medal Force had sister genuinely 86 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 3: meant more to her than any that she'd won the 87 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 3: two that she'd won earlier. 88 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 4: In the week. 89 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, so that was really really beautiful. And say as 90 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 3: to Kaki Bara that she's the BMX rider who obviously 91 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: her brother brain injury for her to ride for him 92 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 3: and to have like basically perfect rounds, and her interview 93 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 3: afterwards was it was a bit it was the language 94 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 3: was fabulous. You know, we probably shouldn't have put her 95 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 3: to air, but it was just so real in that moment, 96 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 3: and you could you could you could feel what it 97 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: meant to her. But I think some of the great moments, 98 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 3: and I think this sort of surprised people. When Harry 99 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: Garside the boxer lost in the first round, I mean 100 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 3: he really was expected to go through and win gold. 101 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 3: That that real raw emotion. I think we'll look back 102 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 3: as one of those great moments of the Olympics. Obviously 103 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 3: on a great moment for him, but in how he 104 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 3: expressed that, the conversations we had around that, and how 105 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: he then dealt with it, I think that's just the 106 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,679 Speaker 3: sign of a champion. 107 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: He was beating himself up though he's feeling sorry for 108 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: his country. 109 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: Winning medals aren't the only stories to come from, you know, 110 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: There's there's more to each story. 111 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: That's that pressure we put on it, and that's what. 112 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: That's what we tried to talk about quite a lot. 113 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 3: And Animy the cheff To mission, I met up with 114 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 3: her a couple of times before we went over and 115 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 3: she really, you know, I just don't want the focus 116 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: always being on gold.
