Speaker 1 (00:00):
She's done it again, and in fact, this time she's
done it with two big nominations, nominated for the Gold
and nominated for the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter.
Lady Joe Mo Julia Morris, how lovely.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I have been so looking forward to chatting to you guys?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
How are you as well as you?
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Now this is your fault?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
What about the full circle moment of my very very
first appearance on television in nineteen eighty five on Bert
Newton's Newspapers, which is kind of like, yeah, the competition
for people who did any sort of differen thing, kind
of like an Australia's got talent that yes, right, and
the award and now and then got to work with
(00:48):
Bert over the years, but was super kind to me
in the early days having me on his show because
you know, with comedians, no, we're not really daytime people,
we're kind of nighttime people. So I remember Bert saying,
aren't you like, let's you know, let's get you out
in front of this you know, morning audience because they're
going to really relate to what you've got to say.
So then could be up for the Burt Newton Award
(01:09):
is which reminds me I actually must send Patty a message.
It is a tremendous on, aren't No matter how long
you know, seventy five years in the business, you know
how wonderful that surprises can still happen.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
And you're right, it is a full circle. Mmy.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
You've got to be proud of that, even if it's
a nomination for that one that is Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Do you know now four years in.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
You know it?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Of that line up, certainly for all the nominees for
this year's Gold you could honestly see any one of
those people deserting it, absolutely any one of them.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And you can't not notice that six of seven of
those Gold Logan nominations this year are women.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, They're not just women, They're they're full on fire starters,
aren't they. That's my girls were so impressed. Yes, God,
as you know, you guys know en as women, And
it was Mum, that's very cool, And I said, it's
kind of a big It is a big moment, you know.
I'm that that hadn't happened before in my lifetime, and
(02:14):
I've been on this planet fifty seven years, so that
is it was much more I think monumental change that
I quite realized was happening yesterday. You know, we're all
simful of ourselves and aren't we marvelous and lucky Duck's
getting the gold. But the truth is a really really
big change happened in our industry yesterday, and honestly, and
industry that's so notoriously disposable of women that it's deciding
(02:37):
to step out of a disposability bin.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And yeah, pretty damn cool.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
For decades the Boys Club in Australian TV.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, comedy has saved the world.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Yes, he Julie, I've got to say Sodya Krueger is
a good sport because she was nominated. But at a function,
you were all announced on stage and the MC forgot
one person, just both completely. But Sonya played beautifully. She
came to play.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh god, yeah, she came absolutely. Well, here's the thing.
I stood on the logo stage a number of years
ago and forgot to read the nominees. So I honestly
I think that she was doing that yesterday to make
me feel better. And then but you just see it,
you realize they're mate, they're really good money.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
She said, she's never going to live it down.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
And also the biggest mistake is to just to read
off any list. If you got a list, you know
you're in trouble, it would.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Be yes, what's your campaign strategy?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
The campaign strategy is to try and get the girls
to unpack the dishwasher with about being.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Art nice life guys. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
But also I think I'm in now that you know
I live my solo life raising my ladies. I think
I am my own trad wife, So maybe I will.
I'll just make sure that I've cooked myself muffins and
make sure that all my clothes on ready for me
when I go off to do my big work job
(04:17):
get home.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Yes, very nice.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Honestly, I get super embarrassed by the campaigning. I know.
That's the one that's where I fall over. Yeah, you know,
for someone who loves themselves as much as I do,
I find that very difficult, and particularly in what's happening
in our in our you know, surrounding climates at the moment,
and I do not want to gas light and undermine
(04:42):
the logis in any way. I want to celebrate this moment,
but I'm also milindful that you know, there's a bit
going on for everybody. Some people, you know, some people
are knock back at the freaking supermarket in Australia. So
we're we I know, we've got bigger fish to fry,
but all industries do get a chance to celebrate.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
And this is our heels.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Up, your your gorgeous co host who's just going from
strength to strength and you know, no small part with
help from your guidance.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
He is he going to be dancing with the stars
in the US or yeh? Can he be able to go?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Will he be able to get to the logis or
will he be too busy?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Honestly, I'm not sure. We messages yesterday, left me beautiful
message and they are they're actually in a well, you know,
always giving the game away. They are off on doing
special conservations like on one of the properties, double checking
trailer lars and making sure I don't know whatever, doing
numbers and stuff that they've been off the grid. Is
that what the point? I'm trying to make it nine
(05:41):
hundred words right, So they literally only just came out
of the bush yesterday. So Robert left be a ripper
of a message, just going oh my god, but you're
right off he goes to the States and as we
all know, I'm not sure it's that relaxing coming back
and forward. And I also think of dancing with the
stars once you like, like was here, I think it
(06:01):
started on SAT on Sunday night here in Australia, not
not Robert's version. But once you start dancing, you are
locked in for the six or seven weeks or however
long it is. And it's brutal.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
So it's Solidrick, not Solidrick can fine, but it's likes it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
A locking absolutely well. Also, Robert is an extraordinary human
and in that he does actually manage to slip in
all sorts of stuff like that. I'm sure he heard
plenty of jokes and things and comments and whatever about
his Bonds campaign, but I have not seen another human
being on this planet do something like a campaign like
that that has had such immense cuts through, that has
(06:39):
driven so much traffic back to wildlife conservation, Like I'm
not this young man is a high level thing. And
the fact that he's willing to copple that, you know,
because we're all still loses to Roby. You got bigger
than these he was willing to cop that gets super.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
I'm still contacting my books, you know, in school. I
think I would have gone with the Bonds add rather
than the TV week you know, middle of the not
TV week Tiger hits.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Listen, would you get those the short shorts of the
lady's hands smacking her own.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
That sounds like the career of the Yeah bump Us
seventy seven?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Right, it was?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
There was a bum on the front of the artist.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Names memory, right, yeah, look like all the looks like
all the names are sort of gently falling out of
her body. That's too far, That's I said. It actually
ibout the sense of regret there.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Voting is it voting dot TV week loogis dot com
dot a you? I will repeat, voting dot tvweklogis dot com?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Donat you? It's your year, Julia morre j Morris, do.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You know what? I woke up alive? So that is
definitely telling me exactly on many levels it's my year.
And also I don't have to listen to anyone sleeping
beside me except for Ken the dog, so it's always.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
They're working on that speech forget the list, Thanks Julia.
