1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: If you were looking for love, would you trust your

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: adult children to choose who you dated? Sounds like the

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 2: stuff of nightmares, But this is a concept that's been

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: made into a TV show.

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 3: We're up to season two. It's called My Mum Your Dad.

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: This is where single parents go on dates the kids

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: have set up for them, hosted by the fabulous Kate Langbrook.

9
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: We love her. Hello Kate, how are you.

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 3: Color?

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Kate? That's weird?

12
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 3: Why are you back?

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Happened to my technology? Kate?

14
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 3: You'll have to get your kids in to fix it.

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: Yes, well, that's like the path of true love. It

16
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: never runs smooth. Why haven't you got a line of communication?

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: Then it drops out.

18
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 3: You've been ghosted by technology?

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: Oh I have? Or that's the excuse they've used, Amanda, how.

20
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 2: Is the success rate of this last season? Did sincere

21
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: couples get together?

22
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: Well? Yes, and in fact, at some point I called

23
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: my husband Peter during the filming the Top Secret and

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: I went, oh my god, Darling, it works. It actually works.

25
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: And I think it works because because the children are

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: there with their parents, there's like another level to it,

27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: so it's not like you're just meeting someone untethered at

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: a bar, and they could be anyone, do you know

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: what I mean? Or online? The parents have got the

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: responsibility of the children with them, and even though they

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: blissfully seem to forget that their children are watching, they

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: still at some level know that they've got that context

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: with them. So it kind of gives it a I

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: don't know, there's just something real and beautiful about it.

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: And what I liked too.

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: And we did a thing here on our radio show

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: trying to find love for people who were sick of

38
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: all the dating apps and things like that, and people

39
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: are people who are a little bit older are sincerely

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: looking for relationships. The Golden Bachelor in the States, he's

41
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 2: seventy two, and people of all ages are watching him.

42
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: On this love journey. We all pretend love doesn't happen

43
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: for older people.

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: I mean, he's also he's hot, isn't he for a

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: seventy two years old?

46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 3: He's a freakish twenty to seventy two year old.

47
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: Correct notice? Amanda and I both checked him out. Joanes Yah, of.

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: Course I have no idea what he looks like, but

49
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: you know, we know, so would you go? And so

50
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: you're saying you'd go there with this this well, you.

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: Know, it appems where you're out in life. So it's

52
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: no secret that life has stages and at certain points

53
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: in your life you want different things. But what happens

54
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: on my mum or dad is the kids have seen

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: their parents more clearly sometimes than their parents even see themselves.

56
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: And the kids have looked at them and gone, you know,

57
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: I love you and you've made these sacrifices for me,

58
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: but I see what's missing in your life is romantic love.

59
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: And that acknowledgment of yourself as a desirable person is

60
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: the most powerful thing at all, and often people have

61
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: switched that part of themselves off. It's because of responsibility

62
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: and being a parent and life and work, and it's

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: a grind, you know. So to watch these people come

64
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: alive again in a context, we put them in the retreat,

65
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: which is like a resort, and suddenly all the everything

66
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: falls away and you can see their essential self emerge,

67
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: divested of responsibilities and school runs or work runs or

68
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: whatever it is in life that's grinding you down. They

69
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: kind of remember who they are and it's the greatest gift.

70
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: But what about the kids though?

71
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: Is that I mean it's everyone would like to see

72
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: their parents happy, but to watch them go through and

73
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: rotomn clenching.

74
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: Yes, let the bottom clenching and bottom relief.

75
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: That's another show, that's right.

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: But I think sometimes the kids are a bit surprised

77
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: because they've signed on for it, but when confronted with

78
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: the reality of watching this aspect of their parents they've

79
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: never seen before, Like most of these kids have never

80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: seen their parents in a romantic content of course, But

81
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: so they watch through sort of you know, peak fingers.

82
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: But they're also so mature and genuine in their wanting

83
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: that for their parents. And they have each other as well,

84
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, because when your parent gets with another parent

85
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: in the house, their kids there as well. So the

86
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: friendships between the children that are sometimes tested, you know,

87
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: when things go awry, and things do go awry sometimes.

88
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just fascinating. I just love it from

89
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to sound like a sociologist,

90
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: but it's a fascinating study of human behaved to play

91
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: yourself a growing up as just Walton Mountain, that's all

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: we had.

93
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: Well, now grandma married his uncle and.

94
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: You've got this this is the future, and you know, Okate,

95
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: You're part of the future, which is great.

96
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: If anyone's got to speedhead this, it's you.

97
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: Well. I am very happy to be leading the charge

98
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: on this because I love love and I think particularly

99
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: the moment times are heavy. It's like a great antidote

100
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: to our times because it boils things down to the

101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: essence of what we all are, which is basically big,

102
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: big skin suits looking for love.

103
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: Do you make it sound so sexy?

104
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Enough about the bat's fire, that's me.

105
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 3: The old skin seat needs a bit of an iron.
