I appreciate that, no, mate, 19 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: It's wonderful. Those shows are great and I'm looking forward 20 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 2: to to an I check coming back. We had a 21 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: lot of fun in season one and well, yeah, we'll 22 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 2: have more in season two. 23 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: What are we expecting in season two? Anything different from 24 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: season one, is it bigger, better, brighter. 25 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: Well, I'm still the host currently, Russell, so that's you know, 26 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: that's the only bit I really worry about. 27 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: That's the starting point. 28 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: Sometimes, you know, executives come in and they start to 29 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 2: make changes and all of a sudden, you know, Sampaign 30 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 2: Tonight's hosted by Kittie flanaghan or something, which I would watch, 31 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 2: by the way, so you've got to be careful. But no, 32 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 2: it's you know, I think if you saw season one, 33 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: you know the DNA of the show is there. It's 34 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: you know, it's an old fashion Tonight's show with hopefully 35 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 2: you know, lots of jokes and great segments and good 36 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: fun guests. And you know, we're starting with a good guest, rossio' 37 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: donald's on the show. 38 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: So she'll obviously be there to talk about her nominating 39 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. 40 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: I guess yeah. I think I wonder if he might 41 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 2: have it by then too, so that that might be 42 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:43,919 Speaker 2: the opening game. 43 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: That might make it a slightly bit awkward for us. 44 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go. 45 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: Well, but given that there's two things that he doesn't like, 46 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: which is talk show hosts and Rossio O'donald you're playing 47 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: with fire nice and early, aren't you? 48 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: The very good point, Russell, But yeah, tune in early 49 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: for the show because who knows it you know, it 50 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: might be pulled off air by the time Donald has 51 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: a look at it. 52 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: Show one, season two and that's where it ended. No, No, 53 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure it won't. I'm sure he's got a lot 54 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: of other things to worry about at the moment you 55 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: were hosting the logis again, obviously you enjoy it or 56 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: do they just think or do they just keep pressuring 57 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: you to do it. 58 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 2: As there is no one else to do it? No, 59 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: I think I've had a good time. What was my 60 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: third one? And I've had a good time doing and 61 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: they're fun to kind of prepare for. And the night 62 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: is you know, I don't think it's long enough in mind, Russell. 63 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: But then again, and I'm not in charge of those 64 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 2: sort of things, so I always like an award ceremony 65 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: that starts at seven point thirty and finishes at seven 66 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 2: thirty am the next day, like a talithon by the 67 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: end of it. But I had a good time, mate, 68 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: It's a good fun and you know, I've done three 69 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: and if they asked me to come back. Well, that'd 70 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: be great. 71 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: At the backstage part is something that keep bringing you back. 72 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: Any stories known names, no names, any stories that like 73 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: just one story that you could share with us. 74 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: Kerrie and Kennelly, Manu, you know, all of them just 75 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 2: out of control of it. I don't need to hide it. 76 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: They're all pretty loose. After a LOGI win. 77 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: Well because if anyone has watched the logis lately, nothing's 78 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: you know, it finishes. It finished at five to midnight 79 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: this year. So can you imagine anyone who's at the 80 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 2: after party other than me. I don't have my first 81 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: drink till midnight. I stay dry for the ceremony. I 82 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: just think that's professional. 83 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: Well, that's safe. 84 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: Whenever my last one is though, I'll be I'll walk 85 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: out with a wine in my hands. But that at 86 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: the moment, I'm happy to keep it dry. But the 87 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: after party is those people at that after party have 88 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: been basically, you know, on the red carpet since about 89 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: three so they are well described it served. 90 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, they are well lubricated by the time they 91 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: get up to accept their award or a sneer from 92 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: the crowd when they don't win their award. You also 93 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: host the front bar. We see you during during footy 94 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: season on that at seven. So you spend a lot 95 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: of time at ten, you spend some time at seven. 96 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: Do you get awkward looks when you go across to 97 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: seven to the other network to do your other show. 98 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: They don't really even know that I'm work there, most 99 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 2: of them. Mate. You know what, man, it's all about Mick. 100 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: It's all about the big dog in the middle. It's 101 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: his show. It's his you know, a good thought sitting 102 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 2: at a bar having a beer talking about footy like 103 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 2: you know, when we first shot this, Mick thought it 104 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: was a documentary, do you know what I mean? So 105 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 2: I don't think Channel seven. I don't think either station 106 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 2: care what I do, which is lovely. It's a wonderful 107 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: place to be in and it's great that in this 108 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 2: modern day you can be on two networks. 109 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: If you're gread enough, you can and you can just 110 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: fly under the radar. Yeah, and make Mick the target. 111 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: But it's not about seven. It is all about Sampang 112 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: Tonight's eight forty Monday Nights season two. He's back, he's 113 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: up in lights and he has a big name guest 114 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: Rosie O'donald to start and that will just be the 115 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: start of the big name guests.
