Speaker 1: sure folk.

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,520

Speaker 2: love shows or twenty somethings cavorting around him bikinis hoping

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: to become influences, but we haven't had enough Lisa of

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: what the world really needs, which is middle aged people pashing.

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean this is true. Yeah, you now.

15
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: The premise of the show though, as there are some

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: of these younger cavorters watching, there are and guiding in a.

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: Way, well they are. So the way the show works

18
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: is that their single parents, so they're like forty to sixty.

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: They were nominated primarily by their children, so parents, the

20
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: kids of single parents who have kind of looked at

21
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: their parents and gone, I appreciate this is amazing. I

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: appreciate everything you've done for me. But what I see

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: missing in your life is that romantic part of you,

24
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: that part of you that finds romantic love for yourself,

25
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: and the kids want that for their parents. Yeah, you know,

26
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: they nominate their parents and then the parents all go

27
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: into a big house, a big beautiful house called the Retreat,

28
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: but unbeknownst to them, the kids are at a nearby

29
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: house called the Bunker, watching their parents every day move.

30
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: I mortified. You know what is I've been watching the

31
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: promos and do you know what is my absolute favorite

32
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: moment that I've seen is where one of the kids goes, God,

33
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: they had a whole life before they actually had a life.

34
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And you know what's amazing is these kids

35
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: actually know their parents very well. As a parent of

36
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: four children, it's interesting to me to say, of course,

37
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: what the kids know about us is not what we

38
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: tell them, but what we do and how we live.

39
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: The kids are always watching, But the kids know their

40
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: parents so well. They even know things like the type

41
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: of person that their parents normally goes for, who's wrong

42
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: for them? And the kids are like so the kids

43
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 2: get a degree of influence on the show where they

44
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: go I want mum to stay away from this guy,

45
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: or I don't want my dad to end up with

46
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: this sort of woman or to who's been attracted to

47
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: this in the past. So the kids get a big say.

48
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: And why not, because when a new adult comes into

49
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: the family, the kids have to make room for that

50
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 2: adult and their lives are disrupted as well.

51
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: I guess no one's more protective than your own kids.

52
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because it's a dual thing. Really, they're protecting

53
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: their parents, but they're also protecting their life.

54
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: But I imagine there's some moments of absolute horror on

55
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: behalf of the kids when they say that they're their

56
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: parents are not just parents but people.

57
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: Yes, And of course because the parents together divested of

58
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: the normal responsibilities of a life, like they don't have

59
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: to go to work, and they don't have to look

60
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: after anyone else, and they're meeting adults as themselves, so

61
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: they they may party a little bit, and the kids

62
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: see that, and the kids hear some very frank conversations

63
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: as they watch their parents navigate the world just as

64
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: their essential self, not in the context of being their parents.

65
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm expecting to hear, oh gross a couple of times.

66
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: I think. I think there's a bit of a growth,

67
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: but the kids are really up for it. Like the

68
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: kids cure what they wanted to watch, and the kids

69
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 2: were like, even though sometimes they're watching through you know,

70
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: horrified peak fingers, the kids are like, want to see it?

71
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: Well, I were invested in w A. We've got a

72
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: couple of little ladies involved. Paula Marette so she was

73
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: actually a psychic medium.

74
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: Yes she is, and her son Dreas is just beautiful

75
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: and she's got an amazing story Petula because her husband,

76
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: Dres's dad died when Dress was nine months old. Yeah,

77
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: and he's just such a beautiful person. And Petula's divine

78
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: as well. So yeah, you know, there's certain people on

79
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: the show that you're really rooting for. So okay, good morning,

80
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: It's it's Russell here. Hello, how are you?

81
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: Has obviously seeing his mum go through the dating scene

82
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: for quite some time, obviously has decided this is it,

83
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: This is time to get mum settled down right.

84
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: Well, I guess they also think, you know, you know,

85
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 2: we always say mum knows best, but really, if anyone's

86
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: ever met a teenager, they think they know best. Yes,

87
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: they're obviously like, well, I'm going to make a few

88
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: decisions and help her out. Mum, hasn't been able to

89
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: do it, so I'm going to do it for her.

90
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: Yes, aside, well, I expect it's going to pull it

91
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: a few heartstrings.

92
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 2: Yes, it's kind of got. I mean I leave hard

93
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: on the show because I love love, yes, and I

94
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: love the stories of these people. And like I said,

95
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: as a parent myself, I can relate to you know,

96
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: like not not having been active in that part of

97
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: your life and they're looking for romance because you've had

98
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: other priorities. So I was crying with them. We have

99
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: a few laughs along the way. There's a few shocked moments.

100
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: It's it's just a great.

101
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: Shows everything, and it's very brave for the parents to

102
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: put themselves up.

103
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: I mean obviously the kids go, well, it's it's it's

104
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: all r great because to put yourself out there in

Speaker 2: front of all Australia with your vulnerabilities and your insecurities

106
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: and your baggage, that's not easy to do. It's all

107
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: worth it that you have to do that for love,

108
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,920
