This is the City with Kate podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Let's talk about code words at work. I love this stuff,
stuff that you didn't know about. Secret codes I absolutely adore.
And when I worked at Franklin's as a checkout cheek,
the old code zero.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
To isles please code zero. That was that was det.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
So whenever you heard code zero, everyone you'd see sort
of shoppers look.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Around and go, what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
But that'd be like if someone was stealing something from
the store. You knew, I don't think I should do this,
but I'm going to do it.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
There?
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Is?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
These are the disturbing phrases you never want to hear
when you are flying on a plane.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Stop. Stop, I'm sorry, why are we doing this? You
know I have a fear of flying. Okay, I'm getting
on a plane this weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
These are the code words that you need to listen
out for. Code three hundred and Angel. Two of the
most important phrases listen out for on a flight a
code three hundred angel. According to experts, these terms these experts,
these terms indicate that a passenger.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Has died on board.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So when you hear angel, someone talking angel, someone's carcted
on board, and this would happen quite regularly we long
term flights.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
We have an angel in row seventy three.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What did you do hear about that? Australian couple recently
and they sat a dead woman next to them on
the plane.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Wow, they're going to talk for long? Are they?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
The wife was quite shocked by it, and she said,
I told them that there were space seats on the plane,
but for some reason, unfortunately it was them.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Well, they came over and said, Diary, you're sitting next
to an angel.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Was a Jetstar flight from to Bali as well. Usually happens.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
We have a code here in the radio game, which
is m O, which stands for Mike off. If we
could turn fits his mic off. That's just not into
plane stories. Thanks.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh no, I'm back on again, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Cod yellow is a term used for minor minor medical
situations on board. That's for passengers feeling light headed, nauseous,
and faint. Pan pan when you hear pan pand that's
a call that there's a serious but non life threatening emergency.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yes, panpan, squawk.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Seventy five hundred, or hotel when you hear someone say
hotel on a plane, it means that there is a
hijacking in progress. Wow, Hotel squawk seventy five hundred or
hotel that there is a hijacking in progress. And obviously
they've got to say these words to keep the passengers calm.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So now that you're telling everybody when people hear hey, hotel.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
This is the other big one before we get onto
thirteen twenty fourteen. If you've got some VIP, when you
hear them say VIP, that actually means very irritating passenger damn, because.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
They always say here he is the VIP assumed.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Jet Star flight to Barley.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
There's quite a few few VIPs on that plane that
have a few too many drinks. But do you know
what like, there's been quite a few comments. I mean
supermarkets are a big one as well. Actually one of
the comments here someone said, in one of the comments
at work, they called me double O seven, zero motivation,
zero skill, and I go to the toilet seven times
(03:31):
a day.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
There's your double O seven. I love a bit of
code in the industry. We have NPP as well, New
Producer Please, which has said a lot around.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
The So sorry to Jordan's Bacon Hill. What code do
you use UKF.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
So I used to work at a restaurant and we
used to get some like kind of celebrities in. So
we didn't want to like let everyone well known know,
so we used to say WKF, which went well known fake, Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
There's a well known face in there, okay, and it
would alert everyone.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
The only thing when you do it, Jordan, everyone all
the employees come out and just stare at the celebrity
that's at the table. Did you ever get busted? You
never got busted.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
No, no, I never got busted. But we all have
a sneak yar on the table.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yet there. Would that celebrity need to be sort of
a high grade celebrity or could it be someone like,
I don't know, Richard Wilkins. Would you use it for you?
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Some more important than Richard Brooks, that's for sure?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Who was seen in there?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
George?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Who was wandering through anyone?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
We used to say, like you AFL players, that's for sure,
and we're massive AFIL. Yeah, we used to love AFL players.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
We used to say, like like some movie celebrities.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
But you can't say too much.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I think to say much.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You got your buddy, thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Let's go to just send you in Jordan's Springs. What
special code did you use as a nurse.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
I'm wanting guys, we used to use Yeah, if we
had a good booking doctor that would come onto the wood.
We were just quietly sake.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
We get a mop and bucket our seven.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Please mop and bucket our seven.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
What was it to suggest your center?
Speaker 6 (05:15):
I think you've got to use your imagination for the rest.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I suppose anything to keep yourself amused.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
You do need to keep yourself amused at work.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Sometimes you have good humor when you're in the.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Justin and Green anchor. What have you got, buddy?
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Good morning?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Go there you going good? Justin?
Speaker 7 (05:37):
That's good?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Be my best mate.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
If we're in public or over the phone, we use
the word uga booger yep or we sure not the book.
It doesn't draw too much attention if someone hears it.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Just code for is the fake to talk?
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Is anyone around that's listening? Right?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So that's the setup before you can actually talk personal talk.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Justin.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Yeah, so I've got you know something going on, or
he's got something going on. It's kind of confidential between us. Yeah,
and we both know exactly what It means we both
have a good look around and make sure and have
a good convot concerned.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
If I walked past somebody or I was not far
from you justin and you were having a normal conversation,
I probably wouldn't be interested. But then when I heard
Auga booger, I reckon.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
I tuned in the thing we finally want to show
on the book to make sure it doesn't too much attention.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Solution gotcha.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I was on the augaboog as a drinking game as well,
but I was I was doing the barbecue at the
foot the other day, right, and with another mum, right,
and we were watching our two boys. We had to
do it in the first quarter while our boys were
playing football.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It was a volunteer barb and he's her son got
taken off the ground and he was walking along the
boundary whip and she had and it wasn't a whistle,
but she made a noise with her mouth that her
son there would have been I reckon, one hundred people
watching the game around. She made this noise, and her
son just immediately turned around and knew that his mum
(07:09):
was there.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It was like a little lum. It was like a
little sound.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That she made it trigger for her kids and they
know immediately there's mum and he waved her mum straight
away over at the barbecue.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Tom's taking said, because I do this with my kids.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, and also the Emperor Penguins do it with their
kids when they go away to see when they come back.
It's a very unique that only they and their kids know.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
That's body amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Adrian in North Rocks. Have you got a code word
that you use at work?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I do, boys.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I've got a week to a small retail simmer Bunny
bootle Bunny which they are going to reach to thirteen,
so I'm going to the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I'll register thirteen.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Register thirteen was going to the dunny Adrian, Okay, I'll
remember that when I go next time. Jeremy in Forest
Lodge code words.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Good morning, guys, are you good?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Jeremy?
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Oh sorry, a little bit of a crackle.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Let's puberty.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
I've got the one. I've got his c SG c
FG no B for Bob, BFGFG.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Or the BFG which is big friendly giant.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Well you would think that, but it was one that
my son used to work when he used at KFC
and it was to let all his.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Mates know out in the back.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
That there was a big fat guy that was about
to place an order, sorry to say, and then it
meant that he would devoid the order. Afterwards he'd order
way too much food and then he canceled part of
the order and then all the other guys knew that
they had pre food coming.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Brilliant. Well, I'm a bit sensitive to that, to be honest, Jeremy,
because they used to call me the BFG at Score,
the Big Friendly Greek.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Wow, So the BFG.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
If I hear that at KFC, I am running, Jeremy,
am right.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
At least I'll know they're talking about me.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
It fits in with her with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's where the wealthy like to holiday. And this man
Saxton Ratliffe, we know him as on the show. Patrick Swarzenegger.
Thank you very much for sticking around, buddy.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Of course, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I love about this too. You haven't brought a blender in,
which is great so we.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Can continue normal conversations.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
We're not going to be interrupted by you making a
protein shake, which is awesome. Mate. The show is like
we were just talking off air, but the production and
the sound and the storyline of the show. It's just
so strong and gets stronger and stronger.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
M M yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I mean it's the sound, the music. I mean, people
that come up to you and just go you knowing.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You might not be sure what that actually means. It's
so much that goes on on the show.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
And mate, you get to do it in Thailand. What
a beautiful part of the world.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So you were just saying to usself here seven months
to film this in Thailand? Do you get to and
the full Moon parties involved with it as well? Do
you actually get to go to it? Did you go
to kypag Yang? Did you actually go to a full
Moon party?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Patrick? I did? I did.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I went twice. I think I was the first time
I went. I was probably the only sober person there,
and I went just crazy to check it out because
we got there maybe like a week or two before
we actually started filming, and it lined up perfectly with
the full Moon party. So I said, you know what
I'm gonna I'm going to bounce over there and just
check it out. For some you know, character development and
some you know, it's.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
The weiratest thing you saw when you're on the on
Cape Yang.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Oh man, it's it's hard to describe that place. It's wild,
it's really really crazy, but it's also like beautiful with
all these lights and the fire shows and the people's
you know, jumping rope and all these different things. But
so I went out there for fun one time, and
then the other time we went out there to film,
and we actually filmed there really.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
We did this skeleton crew with like a couple of
the camera operators and Mike, and then we had a
bunch of our kind of pas and assistance and everyone
that kind of made a ring around us because you
couldn't just film random people, so and they were just
constantly kind of circling around us while we were doing
all the shots so that they could be it was
them on camera.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
That's what I was going to ask, like in a situation,
because you moved from different parts of the world as
the series go on. So did they shut down the hotel?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Right, so if you're there for seven months, they're shutting
down the hotel.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yeah, Well we were there, So we were at the
actual four seasons Kosamui, which is like the home base
of where you see esthetically in the show. We filmed
there for about two months. Then we went and bounced
around all over. We went to other parts in the movie.
We went to Pouquette. We did all the yacht scenes
out on the water in Pouquette. We did Bangkok for
a month, so we were at multiple different hotels.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
This I must send tourism in the area through the roof.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Through the roof.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I think they said I was telling you off air
that I from what I heard and read, and I
think it was Bloomberg or the business inside that it
was up sixty seven percent on bookings in that month.
And it's a small island. It's not like it's not
a big.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Leise good effort to go naked on set. Mate. I've
always wandered Patrick the full Moon perpose.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I've always wanted do you have conversations with the production
crew between takes like you are completely naked on set?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Is it weird? Can you look at people's in the
idea talk to them? How is it?
Speaker 6 (12:23):
You know?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
This is one of those sets that you become really
close with everybody because you're moral, you're filming there, and
you're everyone's living at the hotel together, the cast, the crew,
people bring their families and so on and so forth. But no,
I mean right after you're done shooting it, when you're naked,
they give you a towel or some underwear or whatever.
(12:44):
But yeah, I mean you've got to be pretty comfortable
with everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Can I ask how your family took it when they
saw it naked and we're just before you answered?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Can I ask? Because your brother in law very very funny.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
He was, Yeah, that was funny.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
He had to say, these your.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Brother in law, Patrick Swartzing, you're your White Lotus.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
I'm so proud of Patrick.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I was a fan of White Lotus before, so when
he got it, everyone was super pumped for him.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
You warn you about some of those scenes, some of
the nudity.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I did not know I was going to be seeing
him fully nude in that way.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Uh, and you know, hey, he looks good, right, you
know what I mean? I was like, rocket, bro, you
got it.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
That's really I love it.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
He took the funniest part off, which was when they asked, well,
what were you staring at? He said, I'm not brod,
I'm not blood related. I was staring right at that day.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
It was so funny.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It's known for its nudity about this show, so that's
kind of part of it. But I mean, looking back
at your family, your dad didn't do a whole lot
of nude.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Well, actually the opening of Terminator stuff is fully Yeah
he's standing to crouch, yeah yeah, and then he's walking.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Yeah, dude, do.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
You ask for advice or no? You just did this
on you No.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I mean my dad giving me, you know, plenty of
advice throughout my years. But when it comes to acting
and specifically on this project, I actually didn't talk to
him much about it at all. I mean you really,
you're in Mike White's world. I mean, he's you know,
he's right there with you. So it's asking him for
advice and asking and working on the character and building
it with him. Is you know, dream come true and
(14:21):
it's right there at your fingertips. So but my dad's
given me in same with Chris and you know and
my mom, but tons of advice throughout my life about
all about life.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Do you know what was interesting too? We've got that
moment I think when you got the role but you
had to keep it a secret. Oh yeah, it was
a great story about that.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
And then I booked it and they were like, you
cannot here sign your life away. You cannot tell a soul,
you cannot tell anybody. And so I was on a
family trip and me and my fiance were sitting at lunch.
I told her and we're kind of acting weird. And
my mom was like, why are you acting so weird?
And I was like, oh, no, nothing, and then they
looked at Abby. My fiance say, my sister's like, why
(15:01):
are you acting weird? And she was like I'm nod.
They're like, you're pregnant.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
So how long did you have to keep it a secret?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Full I only kept it well from friends and stuff,
maybe a couple of weeks. I told my fiance right
away when I found out, because we had just gotten engaged.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Awesome, and it was like we.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Were riding this high of just getting engaged. And then
like literally I think it was five days later, I
booked the job and they were like, Okay, you leave
next month and you'll be gone for seven months. So
I was like, I got to tell my fiance and
I was like, we got to postpone the wedding to
next year because I'll be in Thailand for seven months.
And she was so happy because, like I said before,
(15:42):
she was a huge fan of the show. But then
they were like, you can't tell anyone. And then we
were at lunch with my family and we were just
acting weird, I just because they can tell. And that's
when they asked, here you pregnant. And then finally I
told them, and then we got this video of my
mom just screaming and my sister started crying. My mom
started crying, I started crying. It was this like domino effect.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
And are you like under contract to then not share
any storyline?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Oh yeah, we can't even at home.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Do you just go, honey, I'm not talking about.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Oh yeah, I don't say anything. No one in my
family knows anything.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Because how do you mean it would be horrible if
it gets out and there's a leap.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
And they just cut me out of the shelf.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Hey, guys, I did all the nude stuff. What do
you mean you're gonna let me go? I just need
to bring something up, because there is a moment where
I sat there awkwardly on the couch last night in
episode six, and I think you know what I'm talking about. Sure,
it normally doesn't happen in families, you know, incestors a game.
(16:42):
The whole family can play. But I it must have
been when you saw the script for the first time,
you must have thought, well, that's going to get a
few people talking.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Yes, that's exactly right. Well, first off, when I was
reading it, you know, as a fan of Weight Loatus,
you know that they pushed the boundaries. You know that
there's nudity, all these different things, and Mike loves to
create a conversation in a stir. And but he does
it in a very genius way. You know, he's really smart.
And when I first read it, Yeah, my mouth was
on the floor.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I thought, you know, this must be an air there
must have been. Yeah, they must have changed the name.
I think I was supposed to get with this.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Person and and uh no it was. It was correct,
And yeah, it caused the stir for sure. And it
was It was great though, I mean it was. I
think it was like one of the most talked about
things on on x R, on Twitter last week and stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
So it was, you know, talking about taking brotherly love level.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yes, well it's only going to heat up even more.
Patrick Schwartzenegger, enjoy your time in Australia. Make me really
really appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Thank you guys. I appreciating me.
Speaker 6 (17:45):

Let's talk about code words at work. I love this stuff,
stuff that you didn't know about. Secret codes I absolutely adore.
And when I worked at Franklin's as a checkout cheek,
the old code zero.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
To isles please code zero. That was that was det.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
So whenever you heard code zero, everyone you'd see sort
of shoppers look.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Around and go, what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
But that'd be like if someone was stealing something from
the store. You knew, I don't think I should do this,
but I'm going to do it.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
There?
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Is?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
These are the disturbing phrases you never want to hear
when you are flying on a plane.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Stop. Stop, I'm sorry, why are we doing this? You
know I have a fear of flying. Okay, I'm getting
on a plane this weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
These are the code words that you need to listen
out for. Code three hundred and Angel. Two of the
most important phrases listen out for on a flight a
code three hundred angel. According to experts, these terms these experts,
these terms indicate that a passenger.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Has died on board.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So when you hear angel, someone talking angel, someone's carcted
on board, and this would happen quite regularly we long
term flights.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
We have an angel in row seventy three.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What did you do hear about that? Australian couple recently
and they sat a dead woman next to them on
the plane.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Wow, they're going to talk for long? Are they?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
The wife was quite shocked by it, and she said,
I told them that there were space seats on the plane,
but for some reason, unfortunately it was them.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Well, they came over and said, Diary, you're sitting next
to an angel.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Was a Jetstar flight from to Bali as well. Usually happens.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
We have a code here in the radio game, which
is m O, which stands for Mike off. If we
could turn fits his mic off. That's just not into
plane stories. Thanks.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh no, I'm back on again, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Cod yellow is a term used for minor minor medical
situations on board. That's for passengers feeling light headed, nauseous,
and faint. Pan pan when you hear pan pand that's
a call that there's a serious but non life threatening emergency.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yes, panpan, squawk.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Seventy five hundred, or hotel when you hear someone say
hotel on a plane, it means that there is a
hijacking in progress. Wow, Hotel squawk seventy five hundred or
hotel that there is a hijacking in progress. And obviously
they've got to say these words to keep the passengers calm.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So now that you're telling everybody when people hear hey, hotel.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
This is the other big one before we get onto
thirteen twenty fourteen. If you've got some VIP, when you
hear them say VIP, that actually means very irritating passenger damn, because.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
They always say here he is the VIP assumed.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Jet Star flight to Barley.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
There's quite a few few VIPs on that plane that
have a few too many drinks. But do you know
what like, there's been quite a few comments. I mean
supermarkets are a big one as well. Actually one of
the comments here someone said, in one of the comments
at work, they called me double O seven, zero motivation,
zero skill, and I go to the toilet seven times
(03:31):
a day.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
There's your double O seven. I love a bit of
code in the industry. We have NPP as well, New
Producer Please, which has said a lot around.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
The So sorry to Jordan's Bacon Hill. What code do
you use UKF.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
So I used to work at a restaurant and we
used to get some like kind of celebrities in. So
we didn't want to like let everyone well known know,
so we used to say WKF, which went well known fake, Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
There's a well known face in there, okay, and it
would alert everyone.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
The only thing when you do it, Jordan, everyone all
the employees come out and just stare at the celebrity
that's at the table. Did you ever get busted? You
never got busted.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
No, no, I never got busted. But we all have
a sneak yar on the table.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yet there. Would that celebrity need to be sort of
a high grade celebrity or could it be someone like,
I don't know, Richard Wilkins. Would you use it for you?
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Some more important than Richard Brooks, that's for sure?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Who was seen in there?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
George?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Who was wandering through anyone?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
We used to say, like you AFL players, that's for sure,
and we're massive AFIL. Yeah, we used to love AFL players.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
We used to say, like like some movie celebrities.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
But you can't say too much.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I think to say much.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You got your buddy, thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Let's go to just send you in Jordan's Springs. What
special code did you use as a nurse.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
I'm wanting guys, we used to use Yeah, if we
had a good booking doctor that would come onto the wood.
We were just quietly sake.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
We get a mop and bucket our seven.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Please mop and bucket our seven.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
What was it to suggest your center?
Speaker 6 (05:15):
I think you've got to use your imagination for the rest.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I suppose anything to keep yourself amused.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
You do need to keep yourself amused at work.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Sometimes you have good humor when you're in the.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Justin and Green anchor. What have you got, buddy?
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Good morning?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Go there you going good? Justin?
Speaker 7 (05:37):
That's good?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Be my best mate.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
If we're in public or over the phone, we use
the word uga booger yep or we sure not the book.
It doesn't draw too much attention if someone hears it.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Just code for is the fake to talk?
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Is anyone around that's listening? Right?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So that's the setup before you can actually talk personal talk.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Justin.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
Yeah, so I've got you know something going on, or
he's got something going on. It's kind of confidential between us. Yeah,
and we both know exactly what It means we both
have a good look around and make sure and have
a good convot concerned.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
If I walked past somebody or I was not far
from you justin and you were having a normal conversation,
I probably wouldn't be interested. But then when I heard
Auga booger, I reckon.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
I tuned in the thing we finally want to show
on the book to make sure it doesn't too much attention.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Solution gotcha.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I was on the augaboog as a drinking game as well,
but I was I was doing the barbecue at the
foot the other day, right, and with another mum, right,
and we were watching our two boys. We had to
do it in the first quarter while our boys were
playing football.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It was a volunteer barb and he's her son got
taken off the ground and he was walking along the
boundary whip and she had and it wasn't a whistle,
but she made a noise with her mouth that her
son there would have been I reckon, one hundred people
watching the game around. She made this noise, and her
son just immediately turned around and knew that his mum
(07:09):
was there.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It was like a little lum. It was like a
little sound.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That she made it trigger for her kids and they
know immediately there's mum and he waved her mum straight
away over at the barbecue.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Tom's taking said, because I do this with my kids.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, and also the Emperor Penguins do it with their
kids when they go away to see when they come back.
It's a very unique that only they and their kids know.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
That's body amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Adrian in North Rocks. Have you got a code word
that you use at work?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I do, boys.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I've got a week to a small retail simmer Bunny
bootle Bunny which they are going to reach to thirteen,
so I'm going to the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I'll register thirteen.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Register thirteen was going to the dunny Adrian, Okay, I'll
remember that when I go next time. Jeremy in Forest
Lodge code words.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Good morning, guys, are you good?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Jeremy?
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Oh sorry, a little bit of a crackle.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Let's puberty.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
I've got the one. I've got his c SG c
FG no B for Bob, BFGFG.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Or the BFG which is big friendly giant.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Well you would think that, but it was one that
my son used to work when he used at KFC
and it was to let all his.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Mates know out in the back.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
That there was a big fat guy that was about
to place an order, sorry to say, and then it
meant that he would devoid the order. Afterwards he'd order
way too much food and then he canceled part of
the order and then all the other guys knew that
they had pre food coming.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Brilliant. Well, I'm a bit sensitive to that, to be honest, Jeremy,
because they used to call me the BFG at Score,
the Big Friendly Greek.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Wow, So the BFG.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
If I hear that at KFC, I am running, Jeremy,
am right.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
At least I'll know they're talking about me.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
It fits in with her with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's where the wealthy like to holiday. And this man
Saxton Ratliffe, we know him as on the show. Patrick Swarzenegger.
Thank you very much for sticking around, buddy.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Of course, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I love about this too. You haven't brought a blender in,
which is great so we.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Can continue normal conversations.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
We're not going to be interrupted by you making a
protein shake, which is awesome. Mate. The show is like
we were just talking off air, but the production and
the sound and the storyline of the show. It's just
so strong and gets stronger and stronger.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
M M yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I mean it's the sound, the music. I mean, people
that come up to you and just go you knowing.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You might not be sure what that actually means. It's
so much that goes on on the show.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
And mate, you get to do it in Thailand. What
a beautiful part of the world.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So you were just saying to usself here seven months
to film this in Thailand? Do you get to and
the full Moon parties involved with it as well? Do
you actually get to go to it? Did you go
to kypag Yang? Did you actually go to a full
Moon party?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Patrick? I did? I did.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I went twice. I think I was the first time
I went. I was probably the only sober person there,
and I went just crazy to check it out because
we got there maybe like a week or two before
we actually started filming, and it lined up perfectly with
the full Moon party. So I said, you know what
I'm gonna I'm going to bounce over there and just
check it out. For some you know, character development and
some you know, it's.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
The weiratest thing you saw when you're on the on
Cape Yang.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Oh man, it's it's hard to describe that place. It's wild,
it's really really crazy, but it's also like beautiful with
all these lights and the fire shows and the people's
you know, jumping rope and all these different things. But
so I went out there for fun one time, and
then the other time we went out there to film,
and we actually filmed there really.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
We did this skeleton crew with like a couple of
the camera operators and Mike, and then we had a
bunch of our kind of pas and assistance and everyone
that kind of made a ring around us because you
couldn't just film random people, so and they were just
constantly kind of circling around us while we were doing
all the shots so that they could be it was
them on camera.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
That's what I was going to ask, like in a situation,
because you moved from different parts of the world as
the series go on. So did they shut down the hotel?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Right, so if you're there for seven months, they're shutting
down the hotel.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yeah, Well we were there, So we were at the
actual four seasons Kosamui, which is like the home base
of where you see esthetically in the show. We filmed
there for about two months. Then we went and bounced
around all over. We went to other parts in the movie.
We went to Pouquette. We did all the yacht scenes
out on the water in Pouquette. We did Bangkok for
a month, so we were at multiple different hotels.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
This I must send tourism in the area through the roof.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Through the roof.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I think they said I was telling you off air
that I from what I heard and read, and I
think it was Bloomberg or the business inside that it
was up sixty seven percent on bookings in that month.
And it's a small island. It's not like it's not
a big.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Leise good effort to go naked on set. Mate. I've
always wandered Patrick the full Moon perpose.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I've always wanted do you have conversations with the production
crew between takes like you are completely naked on set?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Is it weird? Can you look at people's in the
idea talk to them? How is it?
Speaker 6 (12:23):
You know?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
This is one of those sets that you become really
close with everybody because you're moral, you're filming there, and
you're everyone's living at the hotel together, the cast, the crew,
people bring their families and so on and so forth. But no,
I mean right after you're done shooting it, when you're naked,
they give you a towel or some underwear or whatever.
(12:44):
But yeah, I mean you've got to be pretty comfortable
with everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Can I ask how your family took it when they
saw it naked and we're just before you answered?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Can I ask? Because your brother in law very very funny.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
He was, Yeah, that was funny.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
He had to say, these your.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Brother in law, Patrick Swartzing, you're your White Lotus.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
I'm so proud of Patrick.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I was a fan of White Lotus before, so when
he got it, everyone was super pumped for him.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
You warn you about some of those scenes, some of
the nudity.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I did not know I was going to be seeing
him fully nude in that way.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Uh, and you know, hey, he looks good, right, you
know what I mean? I was like, rocket, bro, you
got it.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
That's really I love it.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
He took the funniest part off, which was when they asked, well,
what were you staring at? He said, I'm not brod,
I'm not blood related. I was staring right at that day.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
It was so funny.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It's known for its nudity about this show, so that's
kind of part of it. But I mean, looking back
at your family, your dad didn't do a whole lot
of nude.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Well, actually the opening of Terminator stuff is fully Yeah
he's standing to crouch, yeah yeah, and then he's walking.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Yeah, dude, do.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
You ask for advice or no? You just did this
on you No.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I mean my dad giving me, you know, plenty of
advice throughout my years. But when it comes to acting
and specifically on this project, I actually didn't talk to
him much about it at all. I mean you really,
you're in Mike White's world. I mean, he's you know,
he's right there with you. So it's asking him for
advice and asking and working on the character and building
it with him. Is you know, dream come true and
(14:21):
it's right there at your fingertips. So but my dad's
given me in same with Chris and you know and
my mom, but tons of advice throughout my life about
all about life.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Do you know what was interesting too? We've got that
moment I think when you got the role but you
had to keep it a secret. Oh yeah, it was
a great story about that.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
And then I booked it and they were like, you
cannot here sign your life away. You cannot tell a soul,
you cannot tell anybody. And so I was on a
family trip and me and my fiance were sitting at lunch.
I told her and we're kind of acting weird. And
my mom was like, why are you acting so weird?
And I was like, oh, no, nothing, and then they
looked at Abby. My fiance say, my sister's like, why
(15:01):
are you acting weird? And she was like I'm nod.
They're like, you're pregnant.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
So how long did you have to keep it a secret?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Full I only kept it well from friends and stuff,
maybe a couple of weeks. I told my fiance right
away when I found out, because we had just gotten engaged.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Awesome, and it was like we.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Were riding this high of just getting engaged. And then
like literally I think it was five days later, I
booked the job and they were like, Okay, you leave
next month and you'll be gone for seven months. So
I was like, I got to tell my fiance and
I was like, we got to postpone the wedding to
next year because I'll be in Thailand for seven months.
And she was so happy because, like I said before,
(15:42):
she was a huge fan of the show. But then
they were like, you can't tell anyone. And then we
were at lunch with my family and we were just
acting weird, I just because they can tell. And that's
when they asked, here you pregnant. And then finally I
told them, and then we got this video of my
mom just screaming and my sister started crying. My mom
started crying, I started crying. It was this like domino effect.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
And are you like under contract to then not share
any storyline?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Oh yeah, we can't even at home.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Do you just go, honey, I'm not talking about.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Oh yeah, I don't say anything. No one in my
family knows anything.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Because how do you mean it would be horrible if
it gets out and there's a leap.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
And they just cut me out of the shelf.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Hey, guys, I did all the nude stuff. What do
you mean you're gonna let me go? I just need
to bring something up, because there is a moment where
I sat there awkwardly on the couch last night in
episode six, and I think you know what I'm talking about. Sure,
it normally doesn't happen in families, you know, incestors a game.
(16:42):
The whole family can play. But I it must have
been when you saw the script for the first time,
you must have thought, well, that's going to get a
few people talking.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Yes, that's exactly right. Well, first off, when I was
reading it, you know, as a fan of Weight Loatus,
you know that they pushed the boundaries. You know that
there's nudity, all these different things, and Mike loves to
create a conversation in a stir. And but he does
it in a very genius way. You know, he's really smart.
And when I first read it, Yeah, my mouth was
on the floor.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I thought, you know, this must be an air there
must have been. Yeah, they must have changed the name.
I think I was supposed to get with this.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Person and and uh no it was. It was correct,
And yeah, it caused the stir for sure. And it
was It was great though, I mean it was. I
think it was like one of the most talked about
things on on x R, on Twitter last week and stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
So it was, you know, talking about taking brotherly love level.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yes, well it's only going to heat up even more.
Patrick Schwartzenegger, enjoy your time in Australia. Make me really
really appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Thank you guys. I appreciating me.
