1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: Shane Jacobson is joining us now.

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: Australia's Got Talent is back on Sunday Night on seven

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 2: at seven.

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: And when I say back, it's.

5
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: Back after a three year hiatus from the screen. Hello, shamee,

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: do take.

7
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 3: How are we going good?

8
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: How are you good?

9
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 3: Well? Good? You know I've been sitting around doing absolutely

10
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 3: nothing for three years and now I'm back.

11
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: You're not being the only one great anywhere.

12
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: Look, it's not your first rodeo working as a judge,

13
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: how would you describe a style?

14
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 3: What was that? What's my judging?

15
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: What was your judging style?

16
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not attracted to look at so I try

17
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: and be kind in words. It's my judging store, to

18
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: be honest, it's the same as I guess for most

19
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 3: of the judges, which is you kind of have to

20
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 3: start every actor that walks out on stage. You have

21
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: to empty your sponge and be ready to absorb whatever

22
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: kind of emotion or feeling they give you, and you

23
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: have to shake off whatever you've just seen. So if

24
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: you've had something else that was amazing or something else

25
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: that was terrible, you have to shake that off because

26
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: everything that comes on the stage is completely different from

27
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: whatever came out of it before. Like, there's no way

28
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 3: that an act that walks out can inform you what

29
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: you're going to see next or have seen before that

30
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: because they're also incredibly different, which is which is what

31
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: I think is the beauty of the AGT brand is

32
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: that you know, our show is just anything. I mean,

33
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: you can come and juggle set prior to yourself through magic,

34
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: it's not that you can do anything. So my job

35
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 3: is just to sit there, and their job is to

36
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: make me feel something. If it's a comedian, I should laugh.

37
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 3: If it's a singer, they should make me feel woman fuzzy.

38
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 3: If it's a magician, I should be shocked and confused.

39
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 3: And if it's supposed to be dangerous, I should be scared.

40
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: But as long as I feel something, then they've done

41
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: their job.

42
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: I do love that they're not just singing a song

43
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: or something. They're folding themselves into a box or just

44
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: doing something really random.

45
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: And you know, you can't turn away from.

46
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: There's some things that we do turn away from. There.

47
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: There's an accent India that I honestly thought someone was

48
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: going to get really seriously injured or worse. And you know,

49
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: is that we're doing for entertainment, you know, I keep saying.

50
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 4: Yes, the one on the promo, Shane, we've seen a

51
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: bit of was was a cracking a coconut on someone's

52
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 4: head or something.

53
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, with a massive hammer. There was at one

54
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: point one of those guys rubbed. They poured salt in

55
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: his eyes. I'd like a bandage around so the salt

56
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: couldn't leave his eyes, and then gave him a massive

57
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: hammer and then he ran around smashing stuff and Pumpkin's

58
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: rocker side his mate. F It was. It was genuinely

59
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 3: and I'm not just saying this him was terrifying. I went,

60
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 3: this is going to be a story. I'll be telling

61
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: him for one hundred you know, or maybe not one hundred,

62
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: but hopefully at least fifty years. Yeah, I was. I

63
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 3: was there the day the guy died blood on the stage.

64
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: There is there is talk of a world first twist.

65
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: Can you say anything about.

66
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: That a world first twist? Well, you might have to watch.

67
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 2: Look, that's a fair answer. I just thought I would

68
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: ask you if it's a twist, you hardly can give

69
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: away the.

70
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: Twist'll probably not And look, it may actually be the

71
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 3: fact that someone there is incredibly twisted. It's you know. Yes,

72
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: there was a contortions she features in one of the ads.

73
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: She does contortion type work and arrows with her feet.

74
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: People with a rubber spine that should be in circus

75
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 4: il a.

76
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 3: I know. We did say at one point, how flexible

77
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: are you? And she said, look, to be honest, I

78
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: can't do Thursdays. We had the stumer on a Wednesday.

79
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: Contutions are interesting because I always think, well, the first time,

80
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: what made you go?

81
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to give this a go.

82
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: For the rest of us, especially all of us over

83
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: the age of fifty. If I drop a pencil on

84
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: the ground, that's already going to be the worst part

85
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: of my day. I've got to get stand there and

86
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: grab that.

87
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: I got to get up.

88
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: This is the truth. Three this morning, I picked up

89
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: a little box that had all these pencils in it

90
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: and they all fell to the ground.

91
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

92
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: I called one of the way to pick them up.

93
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: It was a bit sore, and I saw one of

94
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: my kids and I said, we'll make a favor, coming

95
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: help help you pick up those pins. I beat down

96
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,119
Speaker 3: and picked that one because I realized at this point

97
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: this is a bit uncleair that he's picking up like

98
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: twenty five people the box. Yeah, I can child in.

Speaker 1: Well, they are from all over the world, so.

195
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,120
