5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: but I just called it as I say it. I

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: can't even look at it because it's like twenty sons

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: because someone here has arisen once more as a radio

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:29,280

Speaker 2: Patsy please today.

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: To be honest, we we have been doing that for

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: a while before I even't met you.

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Look honestly, and I did say Friday, I

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: really honestly didn't. I sort of my spidery senses generally,

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: I know when I feel good about something, do you

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying? And I just had no hint

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: at all Friday, Like, I honestly thought, like, what are

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: the chances of back to back? I'm so overwhelmed.

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: Has any news presenter everyone back to back?

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: Best news reader not sure, Jack, I don't think so. Sure,

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: I don't think so. But it is incredibly overwhelming. And

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: deb Knight read out the nominees, which was also a

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: thrill for me because ila.

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: Who I listen to this? Who is Deborah Knight?

27
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: Oh, Debora Knight's a big.

28
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: She's a dre Knight's mom.

29
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 2: No, no, Deborah, Deborah Knight is a legendary news reader

30
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: and journalist. She's on two GB at the moment. And

31
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: I've always loved Deb's work and introduced myself to it

32
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: The Australian opened a couple of years ago. You know,

33
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: I was one of those annoying people. I thought, you

34
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: know what, I'm just going to go up to her

35
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: and tell her how much I adore her. Anyway, when

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: I walked into the room Saturday night, she actually remembered

37
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: me and came up to me before the awards even

38
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: got up underway. So that was a thrill. You must

39
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: have left an impression at the tenth Jack, I must have.

40
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: And Dicky was there as well, But it was, oh,

41
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: it was. It felt different to last year. What are

42
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: you laughing at? We didn't say who Dicky was either.

43
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: We're going to get quite the story here.

44
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: Great story at the end of the night. No, No,

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: it did feel different to last year. Like last year

46
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: felt I don't know, I can't explain it. This year

47
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: I felt, I think I've grown a lot this year.

48
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: If I can sort of sound a bit egotistical, I

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: think I've grown a lot within myself and into my skin.

50
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: And I think that's a lot to do with now

51
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: I'm in my fifties and I'm probably more comfortable and confident, perhaps,

52
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: But what I love most about, Yes, it's a news

53
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: reading awed, but it's also about what I love most about.

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: My job is obviously working on the show, but also

55
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: the connection with the audience. And I love obviously informing people,

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: but telling them stories. That's that's what I love. You

57
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: live for stories. And yeah, I'm just I'm really overwhelmed, Hue.

58
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: You so deserve all the recognition he're getting at the WAW.

59
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: It's been it's been too long before you've had due

60
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: recognition for just how great you are. So tell me

61
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: what was your action from like, because chrisaw where We

62
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: Love God was there and Audi was there as well.

63
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: They must be so proud of you.

64
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: Oh, they were so excited. So they were staying. It

65
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: was held at Star City in Sydney, and they were

66
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: staying in the hotel, so they were like six flights up.

67
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: And you did fancy bringing them down so they could

68
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: actually see you. Take the key with me. Don't get

69
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: don't come out, don't come down.

70
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: Embarrassment, it's mummy's snape, I said to them. They were

71
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: very reluctant, but I said, I think you'll be allowed

72
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: to come to the red carpet just to see, you know,

73
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: what happens and helps. It was more about involving them

74
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: because they're such a major. I couldn't do this if

75
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: it wasn't for Chris is just phenomenal and lets me

76
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: most of all, lets me be me and doesn't want

77
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: to change me and just accept. You know, it's a

78
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: hard life. You guys would know it's a hard life

79
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: for your partners. It's almost like being a single parent

80
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: a lot of the time. You know, they pick up

81
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: so much of the slack, and then when you are

82
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: home in the second part of the day, you can

83
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: be so tired and grumpy, and they do have to

84
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: pick up so much. Their husband and wife a lot

85
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: of the time, and he is he is an absolute

86
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: rock He's absolutely phenomenal as a dad and I love

87
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 2: him to bits. And it's as much their award as

88
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: it is mine and Caitlyn producer Caitlyn had Audy on

89
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: FaceTime and so they did come down to the red carpet,

90
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: or they they did come down to the red carpet

91
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: and then retreat it because it was just you know,

92
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: it's a squash, you know what it's like, it's just

93
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: people everywhere. So he's everyone in their suits and they're

94
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: in their tracky decks or did they know they did.

95
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Hotel address those little selfish again.

96
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: He did have his boat shoes on and his denim shorts,

97
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: but you know.

98
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: That look. To be fair, he's probably slightly smarter than

99
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: some of the troubladytes that work in radio. They come

100
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: into Old Big Smoke once a year for a radio

101
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: wards and a drink cup.

102
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: But Alreadie, when I got back to the table, it

103
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: was very early the award. It was like eight thirty

104
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: this year. It's normally sort of they push news off

105
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 2: to the back end of the of the night, so

106
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: that kind of took us unawares. It's like, well, okay, well.

107
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: Then they probably realized last year like she's been drinking.

108
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's do before she gets like a second win. Otherwise,

109
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: don't letting go of that microphone. Make sure it's done

110
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: before night chairs.

111
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: Getting thrown across the room. So yeah, So Caitlin was

112
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: facetiming Ords and and she sent me you know the

113
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: party emoji and goes yay your number one again, mum,

114
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: And and I just wrote back to her, you know

115
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: everything I do, Ords, this is all for you and I.

116
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: On the sixth floor that don't come down. I told

117
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: you don't watch your face time. Have a look at

118
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: the red carpet. It's actually then.

119
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: And I just wanted it to know when we tell

120
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: her all the time, never let anyone tell you that

121
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: you can't do anything.

122
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: Because she picked that up on the FaceTime WiFi. This

123
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: kind of go I catch you up with you tomorrow.

124
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: I'm going to go get a party, got a guy.

125
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: But I wanted to know that because all through my

126
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: career I've been told by people that know, not good

127
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: enough or no, you're the news girl. You can't cut

128
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: into being on the show with people you meant to

129
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,880

00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: and I'm so grateful for the opportunities that.
