So whereever you're listening today, this is Clearzy and Lisa's podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Coming up.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
On the podcast, Adrian Alaberg fills us in on what
it's like to be a contestant on squid Game.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
The challenge.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
It was a bit of a challenge for the cops
in Michigan who pulled over a kid who was driving
a truck. Yes, he was twelve. The worst thing you
did as a kid. We took your calls.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
We spoke to Elsie blay a Ruer Community Services about
the safe space for women closing down in his Perth.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
And in the Shore Report, Lisa mentioned the spinal tap. Yes,
turn it up to eleven. It's the sequel. I have
a think about your average twelve year old here in Perth.
Lace a twelve year old boy, right, So he might
be obsessed with his devices and a bit of gaming. Yes,
he might be obsessed with either the Scorges or he
wants to grow up and be an Eagle or a
Docker and get picked up in the draft. And maybe
the worst thing he's doing, maybe he's staying up a
(00:50):
bit too late doing some gaming. He might put something
expensive like a PS five in his Christmas wish list,
and he's picking on.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
His little sister or what and his parents credit card.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Thing he might be doing is picking on his little sister. However,
cross to the opposite of that, and this kid's an opportunist.
In the US state of Michigan, a twelve year old
boy just happened to find himself a stole, well at
least a forklift, a forklift truck, a giant forklift. So
it's thirty five thousand pounds. So this is a multi
tone unit that he's found. Happy to have the keys in.
(01:22):
The little opportunist has started the thing up and let
police and Mary dance through the streets of ann Arbor
in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
He's twelve, he's.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Twelve years old of age, this kid and the police
have got instructed the kid to pull over now, and
he couldn't. Well, he didn't do that. I haven't listened
to some of the year police audio.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
All over to pull over now.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
He's on the padlock now, got no reactor to wait
from sea.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Finally, after an hour, year old boy, can you imagine
the hour?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
It was an hour long police pursuit.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
She was the cops a right thing for an hour.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Did they know it was a twelve year old?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
No, I don't believe so, not until they went over
and went, oh, could be my son. Some serious grounding
going on with his kid?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
What was he doing out at that?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Exactly in a position to pinch a fork lift anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
The keys were in it, though. I got to give
him that doesn't be an opportunist. He's got for a
bit of a He's led the cops on a merry dance.
So twelve years of age something he will never get over,
nor the police who arrested him. And when I went,
oh my god, it's a child, So we thought we'd
ask the question today. Yes, could he two shoes over there?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
What was the naughtiest thing, the worst thing you did
as a kid, and what kind of trouble did you
get into? Can you can you recall any.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Because there were none?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Oh, little miss purity, that's pure.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Child, really golden, pure child? Yeah it no, Look I can't.
I was a little bit of a suck. Oh yeah,
I didn't really, not until not until the great incident
of nineteen eighty four when I smashed my mum's car
on the second day of my license. Yeah, and the
worst part about that was we were not at the library,
(03:11):
are we?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
You were meant to be?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
We were at KFC Okay, all right, Apparently that didn't
go down well, But that was when I was seventeen.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Document saved the day and part the volume.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Never forget the look on Dad's face when he got
in and turned it off. You heard border line by
turned up to eleven, turned up to eleven, and he
just slowly turned his head and gave me that look
of this isn't over.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
No words required, none of that's because I live.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I'll never forget that look. And it was the slow motion.
But we digress.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I wasn't twelve, so a bit of a suck generally, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Pretty well, you know. And my brother and sister, because
they were older, they.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Said we paved the word there was nothing going to
get in trouble before because we got in trouble for everything.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, I was a bit of I was not a
bad kid until I got to about the age of twelve,
and I got into a sweary phase, a sweary like
a drunken sailor on short leave. I was swearing left
front and center in my household, the F word. God
in so much trouble. Really, yeah, I started saying the
F word, testing the boundaries. Yeah, you know what word.

Speaker 12 (11:09):
Yeah that's yeah, that's right. Stepdad. Yeah, he he had
to leave for a couple of months. It was all

made it worse is that the house were living in
was rent free. It was a friend of my mum's
and he just bought it was on his great big
five acres, and he bought it for a long term investment.
So the parents' five year plan was to stay there

we stuff at that plan.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Story this morning about a Vietnamese man suffering from headaches
for five months discovers he has chopsticks lodged in his skull.
Lodged in his skull after being stabbed in the face
during a drunken fight. Yeah, becks, and the lie down
is not going to cut it with this headache. The
thirty five year old's family say he was injured during
the drunken brawl and that he was treated at the time,
(17:46):
but he reportedly had no idea that he had been
stabbed with a pair of chopsticks in the nose. You
should see the x rays, Well you have closie, I don't.
They're right in the nose, in the nostrils. The broken
ends are sticking just sort of out of the nostrils.
(18:06):
Well not you know, out of his nostrils, the X
ray out of the cavity. Even doctors missed them when
they initially fixed him up after the fight, but then
he sought medical treatment five months down the track after
suffering vision loss, severe headaches, and fluid discharge. That's two
words you don't want to see together, isn't it fluid
and discharge sins showed he had a foreign object, i'll say,
(18:33):
inside his skull. It penetrated through his nose right up
into his skull. This had led to numo cephalus, which
is the presence of air in the cranium.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Apparently the man was initially.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Baffled as to how the chopsticks had made their way
into his skull. His family later recalled, oh yeah, he
was involved in a fight around five months ago while
he was out drinking. How much had he had to
drink that he didn't remember copping two chopsticks?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Fair up the gross put the beer down.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
It had quite a bit, my friend, No, that's an
imagine the splinters.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
There's a couple of chopstick sticking out of your head.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Well he's okay now if you're wondering, the chop sticks
are out photus. Condition is stable, disgust and he's been discharged.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Stop it. That's three.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Elsie Blair is general manager of Services at Ruer Community Services,
which operates a women's safe nights space across the road
from US here in East Perth. It's been it's in
the rod Evans Community Center, but that space is closing
this week and Elsie's joining us now.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Good morning morning, Elsie, welcome, good morning, Thank you for
having me.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Elsie. This this space.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
It was set up in twenty twenty one. Can you
just say, you know, for those who don't realize what
specifically the place was set up for to begin.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
With, absolutely, this is Perth Only No Barrier crisis service
for women. We support hundred and fifty women each month
who have nowhere else to go, So women who are
escaping sexual assault, violence on the streets, domestic violence, and.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Sleeping russ see.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
We have a window onto this and literally because it's
right across from our building here at ninety six a FM,
and we do see that. We often feel so much
for these women because it's the last chance for them
to have someone to sleep at night. But I'm confused.
There was funding offered by the government, and I noticed
that John Kerry, the Housing Homelessness Minister, is there off
at three point one million to continue the funding. Why
(20:33):
is it shutting down? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Yeah, well that's right.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
I mean tonight we'll be the last night of service.
And as you say, this is for women, this is
the worst day of their life. They're coming in scared, exhausted,
and they just need safety. We do have funding committed
and we've been working with all levels of governments that
over twelve months.
Speaker 12 (20:52):
It is just a terrible state.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Tonight that will be the last.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Night of service for these women who will have nowhere
else to go. We know that refuges are full ambulance
to the ramping. We've got bed blocks. These women don't
need treatment, they just need a safe place because home's
not safe right now?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Is what are you hearing from these women about the
fact that it's not going to be there.
Speaker 12 (21:13):
Oh, they're absolutely devastated.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
They're scared, you.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Know, the last few weeks being their most nights.
Speaker 12 (21:18):
It's just terrible.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
People are wondering if they're you know, some of the
women are wondering whether they'll survive until Christmas.
Speaker 12 (21:24):
Like, it is just terrible.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
These women are.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Sick, they're scared. There's a lot of elderly women, women
with visibilities, We've got women who are pregnant. It's just
absolutely Cristi's point. We've had a ninety percent increase for
the service since this time last year. Yeah, we minded
just skyrocketing.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
We keep hearing statistics about you know, the people that
are sleeping rough and how many of them are women
of a certain age right now, So it feels like
this couldn't be at a worse time.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Are there other alternatives.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Around, you know, the CBD area where people can go
or was this it?
Speaker 9 (21:58):
This is it?
Speaker 6 (21:59):
There are no alternatives for women who was no barrier service,
which means that you can walk in any minute of
the night as you are no referral need as you
can walk in. The only other option is the police
or the ambulance. But we know these women don't need
to be in a hospital bed. The only other option
is life on the streets or in their car.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Yeah, we know police resources of you know, they're understrained
as well. We understand that.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
And if people want to go to these women want
to go somewhere where there's no judgment. Yeah, that's right,
and you know they're going to be able to get
in and be with someone who who understands.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, they don't want to be safe, they want to
be safe. I mean, is that so much to usk?
Speaker 9 (22:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I don't think so. I think and these are women
like you and me.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
This is the thing.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
It's just outrageous.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, I mean, this is also Elsie. A very frustrating
situation too, because the facility is there, the funding has
been the city purpose saying it's too late. Their funding
came too late.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
All right, Well, I mean we're hearing that the funding
came too late, and we're also hearing that the community
don't want this service. I mean, we've seen that eighty
percent of people in the city are supportive for this
US from an independent survey. So I find it really
hard to believe we have the phone absolutely hot day
and night, with everyone supportive and outrage of this. So
my view is that the community do want this service
(23:11):
and do want to look after vunerable women. I think,
you know, in the middle of sixteen days, it is
just ironic to be shutting a service like this which
is so desperately needed and supported.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
We'd be happy to work with a community service to run.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
During the night. We can run during the night, they
can run during the day. We are open to anything.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Is there anything last minute that you're hoping might be
able to be done, they'lseie.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
I mean, I would just urge, you know, the community
of the city that we are hearing all this support
for the service. I would really just make sure we're
hearing what the community want and what the voters are saying.
I mean, I really disagree that the City of Perth
don't want this service. I'm hearing loud and clear that
the community really want this service, and there's an outpour
of support and social media, you know, everywhere, everybody is saying, yeah,
(24:00):
so we need to look after women in crisis.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And you know what, I'll be honest, if it wasn't
for the fact that I get to work here across
the road from ULC at quarter plus four in the morning,
so I know that you're there and what's happening, I
probably wouldn't be aware of the place if it wasn't
for that. So I think there's a lot of people
that don't even realize what it is that's happening, why
it's there, and the good work that it's doing. So
(24:23):
we need to have a discussion about if not this place,
then something somewhere really needs to be a permanent setup.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Yeah, and the risk is that this problem will be
far worse for the community if we're not there as
you say, we're there, we're tucked away. We've got heat stroke,
pregnant women, we've got you know, people who are really
unwell who will otherwise be in the city streets. Yeah,
we really make sure these people are safe and looked
after and somewhere that really is out of the way.
You know, the problem is going to be much worse
(24:54):
when we're not there next week.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
They haven't done anything wrong, as you said, they just
want to be safe.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
A lot of these women are working and they come
in from their day's work and there's just no affordable rental.
It's unprecedented times with the rental market. It's just incredible
that we're.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Shutting and especially those words you said, Elsie, that people
wondering if they'll survived till Christmas. We're losing far too
many women in our community already. Yeah, absolutely we are.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
And the sexual assault you know, on the weekend, people
coming in in crisis, like the numbers are just soaring.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Well, Elsie, we thank you for the work that you
do and let's hope that this is not the end
of a safe space in this area.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
And so much and I think, yeah, appreciate everyone support listening.
We need everything we can to come together and show
these women that we care about them.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yeah, thanks Elsie for your time.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Thank you bab more, Clezy more Lisa more podcasts soon,
The Sure Report on ninety six airm.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
All right, I better sit down for this one.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Director Rob Reiner is about to begin filming a sequel
to the magnificent nineteen eighty four rock mockumentary.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
This is spinal tap.
Speaker 17 (26:07):
It's very very special because if you can see the numbers,
all go to eleven book right across the board, eleven
or eleven mostly eleven and amsco up to ten exactly.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Original actors Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer will
all reprise their roles as Nigel Tufnell, Davidson Obens and
Derek Small's. The sequel will also feature appearances by Sir
Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John, with Ryaner adding there
will be a few more surprises in the film as well.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Production will start in February.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
One of the greatest films ever made.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Let's not let's hope it's not.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
No.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I'm not even going to go there any talk of
it but tainted.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
I'll be disappointed. There's no Little Stone. Hen you make
that reappearance, I.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Love that very so much. Just a bet.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
News on Jimmy Barnes this morning he's in hospital with
a severe infection, forcing him to cancel a show he
was supposed to do tonight. Sixty seven year old Barnsey
shared the news to his official Facebook page yesterday. He wrote,
I'm sorry to let you know I've been receiving intravenous
anti bartics over the last thirty six hours to treat
bacterial pneumonia.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
O dear.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Now he does expect to be back up and about
for a gig. He has locked in this weekend. He
worked hard, so he's you know, it's not ideal, but
he's good. Now has something from the best insult I've heard.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
In a while.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
File and the award goes to Piers Morgan, who called
the guy who's written that new book about the Royal
family a weasily lick spittle. Morgan called Endgame author Omaed
Scobie a weasily lick spittle for making his life from
peddling garbage about the Royals.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
He tends to write his books heavily.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
On the side of his mates perennial victims Harry and Meghan.
Forget maryam Webster's choice of authentic lick spittles is my
pick for word of the Year. It's a derogatory medieval term,
first deployed in fifteen eighty six by a professor named
James named John James Griness, who wrote Flatterers, which did
(28:12):
lick the spittle of Dionysus the Tyrant and said that
it was sweeter than the sweet wine. So it literally
meant back in fifteen eighty six, someone willing to lick
the spittle off another person's lips and tell them it's
sweeter than sweet wine, however awful that person may be.
Of course, in modern parlance, it's come to denote a fawning, sycophantic,
(28:32):
brown nosing toad who gushes insincere flattery for personal Gainsick spittles,
weasily lick spittle.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Love it does sound like so many black added would
call border.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I love it the year.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
The second round of Squid Game The Challenge comes out
on Netflix today.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So many questions. Adrian Alberg, you are from Perth, I
am born. You are in squid Game. So cool though
it was very very unexpected, very unexpected.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
So many questions. First of all, red Light green Light,
it's the first game. Did you feel like you were
being attacked by the old Allen's lollies.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Ad Am, I two young times. Oh my god, you're young.
That's not that old. Which was which was it? Maybe
what are you talking about? Last very young over here?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Maybe to show you there was an ad I thought
it only came out about twenty ten, with this enormous
Marionette dog heary doll that looked just like the red
light green light.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
She'd throw lollies at the kids. It doesn't played here again,
then maybe there's another lawsuit.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Maybe it was a sponsorship.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
It was not throwing lollies.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
No, no, it was standing there. It would sing and
then it would turn around. Yeah, and we would have
to keep still. And our goal was obviously to get
over the line, which is about one hundred fifty meters away.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah, all right, in five minutes. What was the audition
process like? So they acted me.
Speaker 13 (30:00):
I didn't have any I didn't plan to do this,
didn't think of it at all, had no idea. But
it was a very lengthy process. They're sending you questionnaire
after questionnaire, and initially it's all like you know, name, gender,
that kind of thing, and then it starts to get
so specific. It's like what would you do if this
situation happened and you had to dog your best friend
for fifty bucks? Like it was trying to figure out
(30:21):
what you would do in these dramatic situations.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
To see psychological testing, I imagine, yes, exactly, that kind
of stuff, all that character testing.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Yeah, and they want diversity too. They're so diversity and
character as well. So that's not just all nice people
in there exactly. Yeah, that'd be that'd be painful to us. Yeah,
but there are a lot of Americans I will say
that there there no diversity in you know, and nationality.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Can we wind it back in little to Australian?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Can we wind it back just a little bit because
you said about red light green light, and I'm sure
on the TV was five minutes you had to get
over that line. Well, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
So this is the big thing?
Speaker 13 (30:51):
So on yes, on TV, it looks like five to
ten minutes, this magic of television. Yeah, we shot this
from the time that I start from the very first
step over the line. When I crossed the line, it
was six hours, choking, six hour and I finished in
the third last wave.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
The final wave was eight hours.
Speaker 13 (31:13):
Oh that's insane because every break They told us all like,
it might only be two minutes, right, you'll be holding
your pose for two minutes. The first one was ten minutes,
and then every pause after that they added five minutes.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
That explains the girl who was crouched out.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
She looks lazy and she's like, come on, hold yourself
for a minute. No, she said it hurts too much.
I'm out because she held that for thirty thirty five
min kid. By the end it was about forty minutes.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
So why so long? So they're getting the right shots
and they're working out who's moved in each bead.
Speaker 13 (31:41):
Yes, So I think it was partly they need to
get the right shots, so they said a drone and
a camera crew out there.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Also.
Speaker 13 (31:45):
I think it was just they needed to whittle down
the numbers credible, because I think a lot of us
are doing pretty good. They were like, all right, let's
see how it really hold.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Yeah, that is an unbelievable there's a bit of there's
a little bit of trouble going on with people talking about,
you know, we got there, We'll see how that pans out.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Yeah, I want to do all stressed as well.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
That's yeah. The four hundred and fifty six contestants.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
There's a lot of people, especially in that very first camp,
which knocked out a lot of you.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
But that it sounds like a random number.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
It's not, though, is it, Because it's what amounts to
the prize money, because ten grand is at it every
time someone goes, and it's and then it you know,
it ends up at four point five to six million,
which is six point eight million Australian dollars.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
It's a huge dolls a huge some of money. Someone
is going to win it.
Speaker 13 (32:31):
Actually, yeah, went up by ten thousand every time someone
drops out. But yeah, four point five six million, biggest
prize ever given away on reality show history.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Yeah, and therefore the desperation level grows. Did you've sort
of witnessed the greed really early on? Was the conversation
about the money all the time?
Speaker 13 (32:48):
Honestly at the beginning, No, right at the beginning, because
what they've done, the just gathered the biggest extroverts from
all over the world, put them in one room.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
And we're all so happy to be there.
Speaker 13 (32:56):
You see this because they're trying to like make it
look really dramatic, right, trying to make it look like
we hate each.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Other with these little shots and like, what did you say?
We were having fun.
Speaker 13 (33:04):
We tied our jackets together, started a big volleyball game
in the dorm. We were playing soccer because they gave
out like socks and jocks, so we'd wrap them up
into a soccer ball and kick it around.
Speaker 11 (33:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Fun.
Speaker 13 (33:14):
I think as it progressed and people started kicking each
other out and the numbers got smaller than you got
attainable that tribalism people. Yeah yeah, yeah, so I got more.
You know the reason when there were fewer resources and
less people became a bit more content less like school camp,
but more like prison.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Because I feel like it's the first worldwide reality show
I've ever seen that sort of you know, I mean,
like you said, it's not that diverse.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
They're mostly Americans, are a couple of Brits in Australily.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
To the world, and you know, others are usually sort
of you know, stick to one country, your survivors and
your big brothers and.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
All that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
This is amazing. Did you get much to eat? I'm
hearing a few complaints about oh really, no, being so
I lost.
Speaker 13 (34:01):
I'm not exaggerating this in the slightest I lost six
kilos in the week. I was there a week one week. Wow,
there's such a small amount of food. It was like,
you know, a handful of rice, like one egg, maybe
some that's your meal, that's your break that's your lunch,
breakfast with water and oats.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Oh okay, yeah, judge, I'm a big fellow. I've lost
four k lose.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Did you know that you were being teamed up with
someone who was sort of being depicted as quite the.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Villain four three to three? Do you know what villain
that was?
Speaker 13 (34:37):
That was a bit of a strategic decision, to be honest. Yes,
So I don't really like him at the beginning, right,
I thought he was Jesus wants me to win, man Like, it's.
Speaker 12 (34:47):
Just very.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Jesus take the wheel.
Speaker 13 (34:51):
Well and but yeah, in that in that boat in
the in the game, I don't know how much to
get weight battleships. In battleships, I was like, you know what,
there was a boat with all the Aussies and they
wanted me on their boat, and I was like, guys,
I love you guys, but strategically I need to pick
the small boat. Okay, hiris car reward less likely to
get hit if it gets hit, I'm in big trouble.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah, so I go for that. It both ways exactly,
So I go for.
Speaker 13 (35:13):
It, and then I see him step on to it
with me, and I'm like, Okay, he's actually a strategic player.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 13 (35:19):
Also, we knew he was going to be a main character,
so it's never a bad thing to be in the
same boat where all the cameras are around him.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Yeah, there was one point when you came back in
because obviously you're looking to see who's coming back into
the room after each challenge. There's one point and a
whole lot of alpha males you might call, and walked
back in and people go, we wanted these guys to go,
and they mentioned you all of a sudden in the air,
but you were one of the one of the one
of the key players in people's mind.
Speaker 13 (35:43):
I didn't realize that. I was watching with my family
back home, right, my grandma and everyone. As soon as
they said that, I was like, oh, yeah, where that
sounds good?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Can I say congratulations on the umbrella? And I'll just
leave it at that.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Too much away for anybody who hasn't seen the first epish,
he was very you'll.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
See what we mean.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
But can I also say, don't get yourself a favorite
or anything, because they just go and there's no there's
no mucking around.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
People are just gone like that, and that's what's making
it so it was real.
Speaker 13 (36:20):
And once you were out, that was it. Like you
were on a bus and gone. You didn't get to
pack your stuff, you didn't say goodbye to your friends.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
That's it. Do you know who wins?
Speaker 13 (36:28):
I actually have no idea. I don't even know who
gets out in the next round. They were so tight
lived about this, so secretive, no idea.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I feel like they might be saving the Tiger War
for last, because that that looks like that's going to
be the most dramatic to watch.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
You imagine that, such a good team.
Speaker 13 (36:43):
I'm whole games to gather the biggest boys, bloody, intellecture.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Modey, well, a lot of little weedy ones at the
end for the brute strength game.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Well, we don't want to say anymore. We want we
want people to enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
They watch it. Although some people are so stupid.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
I read someone on someone tweeted, oh, this season two
of squid games rubbish.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
From the first season one seems to be actually getting
their blood is great.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
It's weird, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Yeah, hang around, fellow, There'll be another season later. Lovely
to meet you and lovely to watch you on Squid
Game the Challenge.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
Yeah yeah, thank you for having the time I saw
you was at Channel nine, mate, And it's a bit
differently being player two seventy on this show.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
How small is Perth? Your wife was my teacher? Isn't wonder?
Speaker 4 (37:37):
You don't know the lollies smartest kid over to it
and him there, what a pleasure. Now I've just got
a little word of warning here. List. This actually hasn't happened,
but it's a word of warning for people regarding the
bushfires up in Wanneroo, and we know investigations continue up there.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
Now the Base Consumer Protection hasn't have not received any
scam reports, but the Commissioner Trish Blake is coming out
and saying it's only a matter of time, sadly, when
things like this happen, that scammers will be on the loose.
And what they've done is put an early wanting out
to you know, people, kind hearted west Eysies who may
dig deep. We know money's tight, but people are good.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Songs which is ninety eight percent of the start state
versus the two percent of loose you know what.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Yeah, absolutely so. I mean most people have got good hearts.
But in tough times and we saw it Jane Telethon
with a record at total. Again, in tough times, people
still dig deep and give away money they quite often
don't have to give away because they care about other people.
So what they're saying is if you see anything that
looks like something to do with fundraising regarding the bushfires,
then you have to really do you check everything, So
(38:47):
do your due diligence, double check sites and anything that
you receive, you know there could be scam with it
because it could be an email, it could be a
text message. Contact try and contact those people through other ways,
which is with any kind of scam thing that comes up.
And of course there will be any charity or any
kind of crowdfunding, you've got to do that kind of thing.
But they've just got this message out there really because
I know this is the kind of thing that scammers
(39:09):
will hook into. And the Consumer Protection they recommend thoroughly
donating to the Lord Mayor's Distress Relief Fund so you
can go to appeals wa dot org dot au. You
know that's legit.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
This is why it's probably a good reason to a
good idea to keep it to one, keep it to
one money raising site rather than a little ones popping
up here in that because you don't know what's what.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
Yeah, yeah, so that lord mees he'll already raised over
one hundred and fifty grand, which is wonderful, and you
know it's going to a legitimate site, a legitimate place,
and will be the fund's distributed the right way. But
I think it's good they've got on the front foot
and gone out there before. There have been reports of
many of the scams, and.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
You know what we hope happens to people who set
up fake scamps. You're not allowed to say it, yep,
trouble or we might so use your imagination.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
If we say that, we might not be here Thursday. Zimba.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Agree with crazy always h
Powered by the radio wapp from ninety six air FM.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
So whereever you're listening today, this is Clearzy and Lisa's podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Coming up.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
On the podcast, Adrian Alaberg fills us in on what
it's like to be a contestant on squid Game.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
The challenge.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
It was a bit of a challenge for the cops
in Michigan who pulled over a kid who was driving
a truck. Yes, he was twelve. The worst thing you
did as a kid. We took your calls.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
We spoke to Elsie blay a Ruer Community Services about
the safe space for women closing down in his Perth.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
And in the Shore Report, Lisa mentioned the spinal tap. Yes,
turn it up to eleven. It's the sequel. I have
a think about your average twelve year old here in Perth.
Lace a twelve year old boy, right, So he might
be obsessed with his devices and a bit of gaming. Yes,
he might be obsessed with either the Scorges or he
wants to grow up and be an Eagle or a
Docker and get picked up in the draft. And maybe
the worst thing he's doing, maybe he's staying up a
(00:50):
bit too late doing some gaming. He might put something
expensive like a PS five in his Christmas wish list,
and he's picking on.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
His little sister or what and his parents credit card.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Thing he might be doing is picking on his little sister. However,
cross to the opposite of that, and this kid's an opportunist.
In the US state of Michigan, a twelve year old
boy just happened to find himself a stole, well at
least a forklift, a forklift truck, a giant forklift. So
it's thirty five thousand pounds. So this is a multi
tone unit that he's found. Happy to have the keys in.
(01:22):
The little opportunist has started the thing up and let
police and Mary dance through the streets of ann Arbor
in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
He's twelve, he's.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Twelve years old of age, this kid and the police
have got instructed the kid to pull over now, and
he couldn't. Well, he didn't do that. I haven't listened
to some of the year police audio.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
All over to pull over now.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
He's on the padlock now, got no reactor to wait
from sea.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Finally, after an hour, year old boy, can you imagine
the hour?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
It was an hour long police pursuit.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
She was the cops a right thing for an hour.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Did they know it was a twelve year old?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
No, I don't believe so, not until they went over
and went, oh, could be my son. Some serious grounding
going on with his kid?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
What was he doing out at that?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Exactly in a position to pinch a fork lift anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
The keys were in it, though. I got to give
him that doesn't be an opportunist. He's got for a
bit of a He's led the cops on a merry dance.
So twelve years of age something he will never get over,
nor the police who arrested him. And when I went,
oh my god, it's a child, So we thought we'd
ask the question today. Yes, could he two shoes over there?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
What was the naughtiest thing, the worst thing you did
as a kid, and what kind of trouble did you
get into? Can you can you recall any.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Because there were none?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Oh, little miss purity, that's pure.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Child, really golden, pure child? Yeah it no, Look I can't.
I was a little bit of a suck. Oh yeah,
I didn't really, not until not until the great incident
of nineteen eighty four when I smashed my mum's car
on the second day of my license. Yeah, and the
worst part about that was we were not at the library,
(03:11):
are we?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
You were meant to be?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
We were at KFC Okay, all right, Apparently that didn't
go down well, But that was when I was seventeen.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Document saved the day and part the volume.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Never forget the look on Dad's face when he got
in and turned it off. You heard border line by
turned up to eleven, turned up to eleven, and he
just slowly turned his head and gave me that look
of this isn't over.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
No words required, none of that's because I live.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I'll never forget that look. And it was the slow motion.
But we digress.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I wasn't twelve, so a bit of a suck generally, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Pretty well, you know. And my brother and sister, because
they were older, they.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Said we paved the word there was nothing going to
get in trouble before because we got in trouble for everything.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, I was a bit of I was not a
bad kid until I got to about the age of twelve,
and I got into a sweary phase, a sweary like
a drunken sailor on short leave. I was swearing left
front and center in my household, the F word. God
in so much trouble. Really, yeah, I started saying the
F word, testing the boundaries. Yeah, you know what word.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I'm talking about falcons.

later in life. That's this week. I got threatened with
boarding school when I was to you'll be saying if

Speaker 12 (09:37):
Yeah, yeah, Now they went too sympathetic.
Speaker 13 (09:42):

staying over and my little brother was only six and

Speaker 12 (11:09):
Yeah that's yeah, that's right. Stepdad. Yeah, he he had
to leave for a couple of months. It was all
just too much of him. And I think because what
made it worse is that the house were living in
was rent free. It was a friend of my mum's
and he just bought it was on his great big
five acres, and he bought it for a long term investment.
So the parents' five year plan was to stay there
and save up for a house of their own, rent free,
(11:30):
and we were there for less than a year and
we stuff at that plan.
Speaker 1 (11:36):

only time I left that I've ever had e sp
because we got in the back of the car. My
mum was screaming at all the rubberneckers who were turned off,
and then she turned around and just said, really calmly,
you know, I'm not going to be hungry, but just
tell me what happened. And me and my friend looked
at each other and just pointed to my brother in
between his in the backseat, and both of us at

end of the arm and then slid it from one
end of the arm to the other, and home erupted
like a volcano out of the gushing it out, and
I was, oh, that's what's under there. Then then I ran.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Story this morning about a Vietnamese man suffering from headaches
for five months discovers he has chopsticks lodged in his skull.
Lodged in his skull after being stabbed in the face
during a drunken fight. Yeah, becks, and the lie down
is not going to cut it with this headache. The
thirty five year old's family say he was injured during
the drunken brawl and that he was treated at the time,
(17:46):
but he reportedly had no idea that he had been
stabbed with a pair of chopsticks in the nose. You
should see the x rays, Well you have closie, I don't.
They're right in the nose, in the nostrils. The broken
ends are sticking just sort of out of the nostrils.
(18:06):
Well not you know, out of his nostrils, the X
ray out of the cavity. Even doctors missed them when
they initially fixed him up after the fight, but then
he sought medical treatment five months down the track after
suffering vision loss, severe headaches, and fluid discharge. That's two
words you don't want to see together, isn't it fluid
and discharge sins showed he had a foreign object, i'll say,
(18:33):
inside his skull. It penetrated through his nose right up
into his skull. This had led to numo cephalus, which
is the presence of air in the cranium.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Apparently the man was initially.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Baffled as to how the chopsticks had made their way
into his skull. His family later recalled, oh yeah, he
was involved in a fight around five months ago while
he was out drinking. How much had he had to
drink that he didn't remember copping two chopsticks?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Fair up the gross put the beer down.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
It had quite a bit, my friend, No, that's an
imagine the splinters.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
There's a couple of chopstick sticking out of your head.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Well he's okay now if you're wondering, the chop sticks
are out photus. Condition is stable, disgust and he's been discharged.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Stop it. That's three.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Elsie Blair is general manager of Services at Ruer Community Services,
which operates a women's safe nights space across the road
from US here in East Perth. It's been it's in
the rod Evans Community Center, but that space is closing
this week and Elsie's joining us now.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Good morning morning, Elsie, welcome, good morning, Thank you for
having me.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Elsie. This this space.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
It was set up in twenty twenty one. Can you
just say, you know, for those who don't realize what
specifically the place was set up for to begin.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
With, absolutely, this is Perth Only No Barrier crisis service
for women. We support hundred and fifty women each month
who have nowhere else to go, So women who are
escaping sexual assault, violence on the streets, domestic violence, and.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Sleeping russ see.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
We have a window onto this and literally because it's
right across from our building here at ninety six a FM,
and we do see that. We often feel so much
for these women because it's the last chance for them
to have someone to sleep at night. But I'm confused.
There was funding offered by the government, and I noticed
that John Kerry, the Housing Homelessness Minister, is there off
at three point one million to continue the funding. Why
(20:33):
is it shutting down? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Yeah, well that's right.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
I mean tonight we'll be the last night of service.
And as you say, this is for women, this is
the worst day of their life. They're coming in scared, exhausted,
and they just need safety. We do have funding committed
and we've been working with all levels of governments that
over twelve months.
Speaker 12 (20:52):
It is just a terrible state.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Tonight that will be the last.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Night of service for these women who will have nowhere
else to go. We know that refuges are full ambulance
to the ramping. We've got bed blocks. These women don't
need treatment, they just need a safe place because home's
not safe right now?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Is what are you hearing from these women about the
fact that it's not going to be there.
Speaker 12 (21:13):
Oh, they're absolutely devastated.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
They're scared, you.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Know, the last few weeks being their most nights.
Speaker 12 (21:18):
It's just terrible.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
People are wondering if they're you know, some of the
women are wondering whether they'll survive until Christmas.
Speaker 12 (21:24):
Like, it is just terrible.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
These women are.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Sick, they're scared. There's a lot of elderly women, women
with visibilities, We've got women who are pregnant. It's just
absolutely Cristi's point. We've had a ninety percent increase for
the service since this time last year. Yeah, we minded
just skyrocketing.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
We keep hearing statistics about you know, the people that
are sleeping rough and how many of them are women
of a certain age right now, So it feels like
this couldn't be at a worse time.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Are there other alternatives.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Around, you know, the CBD area where people can go
or was this it?
Speaker 9 (21:58):
This is it?
Speaker 6 (21:59):
There are no alternatives for women who was no barrier service,
which means that you can walk in any minute of
the night as you are no referral need as you
can walk in. The only other option is the police
or the ambulance. But we know these women don't need
to be in a hospital bed. The only other option
is life on the streets or in their car.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Yeah, we know police resources of you know, they're understrained
as well. We understand that.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
And if people want to go to these women want
to go somewhere where there's no judgment. Yeah, that's right,
and you know they're going to be able to get
in and be with someone who who understands.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, they don't want to be safe, they want to
be safe. I mean, is that so much to usk?
Speaker 9 (22:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I don't think so. I think and these are women
like you and me.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
This is the thing.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
It's just outrageous.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, I mean, this is also Elsie. A very frustrating
situation too, because the facility is there, the funding has
been the city purpose saying it's too late. Their funding
came too late.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
All right, Well, I mean we're hearing that the funding
came too late, and we're also hearing that the community
don't want this service. I mean, we've seen that eighty
percent of people in the city are supportive for this
US from an independent survey. So I find it really
hard to believe we have the phone absolutely hot day
and night, with everyone supportive and outrage of this. So
my view is that the community do want this service
(23:11):
and do want to look after vunerable women. I think,
you know, in the middle of sixteen days, it is
just ironic to be shutting a service like this which
is so desperately needed and supported.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
We'd be happy to work with a community service to run.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
During the night. We can run during the night, they
can run during the day. We are open to anything.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Is there anything last minute that you're hoping might be
able to be done, they'lseie.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
I mean, I would just urge, you know, the community
of the city that we are hearing all this support
for the service. I would really just make sure we're
hearing what the community want and what the voters are saying.
I mean, I really disagree that the City of Perth
don't want this service. I'm hearing loud and clear that
the community really want this service, and there's an outpour
of support and social media, you know, everywhere, everybody is saying, yeah,
(24:00):
so we need to look after women in crisis.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And you know what, I'll be honest, if it wasn't
for the fact that I get to work here across
the road from ULC at quarter plus four in the morning,
so I know that you're there and what's happening, I
probably wouldn't be aware of the place if it wasn't
for that. So I think there's a lot of people
that don't even realize what it is that's happening, why
it's there, and the good work that it's doing. So
(24:23):
we need to have a discussion about if not this place,
then something somewhere really needs to be a permanent setup.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Yeah, and the risk is that this problem will be
far worse for the community if we're not there as
you say, we're there, we're tucked away. We've got heat stroke,
pregnant women, we've got you know, people who are really
unwell who will otherwise be in the city streets. Yeah,
we really make sure these people are safe and looked
after and somewhere that really is out of the way.
You know, the problem is going to be much worse
(24:54):
when we're not there next week.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
They haven't done anything wrong, as you said, they just
want to be safe.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
A lot of these women are working and they come
in from their day's work and there's just no affordable rental.
It's unprecedented times with the rental market. It's just incredible
that we're.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Shutting and especially those words you said, Elsie, that people
wondering if they'll survived till Christmas. We're losing far too
many women in our community already. Yeah, absolutely we are.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
And the sexual assault you know, on the weekend, people
coming in in crisis, like the numbers are just soaring.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Well, Elsie, we thank you for the work that you
do and let's hope that this is not the end
of a safe space in this area.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
And so much and I think, yeah, appreciate everyone support listening.
We need everything we can to come together and show
these women that we care about them.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yeah, thanks Elsie for your time.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Thank you bab more, Clezy more Lisa more podcasts soon,
The Sure Report on ninety six airm.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
All right, I better sit down for this one.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Director Rob Reiner is about to begin filming a sequel
to the magnificent nineteen eighty four rock mockumentary.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
This is spinal tap.
Speaker 17 (26:07):
It's very very special because if you can see the numbers,
all go to eleven book right across the board, eleven
or eleven mostly eleven and amsco up to ten exactly.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Original actors Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer will
all reprise their roles as Nigel Tufnell, Davidson Obens and
Derek Small's. The sequel will also feature appearances by Sir
Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John, with Ryaner adding there
will be a few more surprises in the film as well.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Production will start in February.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
One of the greatest films ever made.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Let's not let's hope it's not.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
No.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I'm not even going to go there any talk of
it but tainted.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
I'll be disappointed. There's no Little Stone. Hen you make
that reappearance, I.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Love that very so much. Just a bet.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
News on Jimmy Barnes this morning he's in hospital with
a severe infection, forcing him to cancel a show he
was supposed to do tonight. Sixty seven year old Barnsey
shared the news to his official Facebook page yesterday. He wrote,
I'm sorry to let you know I've been receiving intravenous
anti bartics over the last thirty six hours to treat
bacterial pneumonia.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
O dear.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Now he does expect to be back up and about
for a gig. He has locked in this weekend. He
worked hard, so he's you know, it's not ideal, but
he's good. Now has something from the best insult I've heard.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
In a while.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
File and the award goes to Piers Morgan, who called
the guy who's written that new book about the Royal
family a weasily lick spittle. Morgan called Endgame author Omaed
Scobie a weasily lick spittle for making his life from
peddling garbage about the Royals.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
He tends to write his books heavily.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
On the side of his mates perennial victims Harry and Meghan.
Forget maryam Webster's choice of authentic lick spittles is my
pick for word of the Year. It's a derogatory medieval term,
first deployed in fifteen eighty six by a professor named
James named John James Griness, who wrote Flatterers, which did
(28:12):
lick the spittle of Dionysus the Tyrant and said that
it was sweeter than the sweet wine. So it literally
meant back in fifteen eighty six, someone willing to lick
the spittle off another person's lips and tell them it's
sweeter than sweet wine, however awful that person may be.
Of course, in modern parlance, it's come to denote a fawning, sycophantic,
(28:32):
brown nosing toad who gushes insincere flattery for personal Gainsick spittles,
weasily lick spittle.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Love it does sound like so many black added would
call border.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I love it the year.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
The second round of Squid Game The Challenge comes out
on Netflix today.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So many questions. Adrian Alberg, you are from Perth, I
am born. You are in squid Game. So cool though
it was very very unexpected, very unexpected.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
So many questions. First of all, red Light green Light,
it's the first game. Did you feel like you were
being attacked by the old Allen's lollies.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Ad Am, I two young times. Oh my god, you're young.
That's not that old. Which was which was it? Maybe
what are you talking about? Last very young over here?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Maybe to show you there was an ad I thought
it only came out about twenty ten, with this enormous
Marionette dog heary doll that looked just like the red
light green light.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
She'd throw lollies at the kids. It doesn't played here again,
then maybe there's another lawsuit.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Maybe it was a sponsorship.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
It was not throwing lollies.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
No, no, it was standing there. It would sing and
then it would turn around. Yeah, and we would have
to keep still. And our goal was obviously to get
over the line, which is about one hundred fifty meters away.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah, all right, in five minutes. What was the audition
process like? So they acted me.
Speaker 13 (30:00):
I didn't have any I didn't plan to do this,
didn't think of it at all, had no idea. But
it was a very lengthy process. They're sending you questionnaire
after questionnaire, and initially it's all like you know, name, gender,
that kind of thing, and then it starts to get
so specific. It's like what would you do if this
situation happened and you had to dog your best friend
for fifty bucks? Like it was trying to figure out
(30:21):
what you would do in these dramatic situations.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
To see psychological testing, I imagine, yes, exactly, that kind
of stuff, all that character testing.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Yeah, and they want diversity too. They're so diversity and
character as well. So that's not just all nice people
in there exactly. Yeah, that'd be that'd be painful to us. Yeah,
but there are a lot of Americans I will say
that there there no diversity in you know, and nationality.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Can we wind it back in little to Australian?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Can we wind it back just a little bit because
you said about red light green light, and I'm sure
on the TV was five minutes you had to get
over that line. Well, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
So this is the big thing?
Speaker 13 (30:51):
So on yes, on TV, it looks like five to
ten minutes, this magic of television. Yeah, we shot this
from the time that I start from the very first
step over the line. When I crossed the line, it
was six hours, choking, six hour and I finished in
the third last wave.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
The final wave was eight hours.
Speaker 13 (31:13):
Oh that's insane because every break They told us all like,
it might only be two minutes, right, you'll be holding
your pose for two minutes. The first one was ten minutes,
and then every pause after that they added five minutes.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
That explains the girl who was crouched out.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
She looks lazy and she's like, come on, hold yourself
for a minute. No, she said it hurts too much.
I'm out because she held that for thirty thirty five
min kid. By the end it was about forty minutes.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
So why so long? So they're getting the right shots
and they're working out who's moved in each bead.
Speaker 13 (31:41):
Yes, So I think it was partly they need to
get the right shots, so they said a drone and
a camera crew out there.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Also.
Speaker 13 (31:45):
I think it was just they needed to whittle down
the numbers credible, because I think a lot of us
are doing pretty good. They were like, all right, let's
see how it really hold.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Yeah, that is an unbelievable there's a bit of there's
a little bit of trouble going on with people talking about,
you know, we got there, We'll see how that pans out.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Yeah, I want to do all stressed as well.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
That's yeah. The four hundred and fifty six contestants.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
There's a lot of people, especially in that very first camp,
which knocked out a lot of you.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
But that it sounds like a random number.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
It's not, though, is it, Because it's what amounts to
the prize money, because ten grand is at it every
time someone goes, and it's and then it you know,
it ends up at four point five to six million,
which is six point eight million Australian dollars.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
It's a huge dolls a huge some of money. Someone
is going to win it.
Speaker 13 (32:31):
Actually, yeah, went up by ten thousand every time someone
drops out. But yeah, four point five six million, biggest
prize ever given away on reality show history.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Yeah, and therefore the desperation level grows. Did you've sort
of witnessed the greed really early on? Was the conversation
about the money all the time?
Speaker 13 (32:48):
Honestly at the beginning, No, right at the beginning, because
what they've done, the just gathered the biggest extroverts from
all over the world, put them in one room.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
And we're all so happy to be there.
Speaker 13 (32:56):
You see this because they're trying to like make it
look really dramatic, right, trying to make it look like
we hate each.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Other with these little shots and like, what did you say?
We were having fun.
Speaker 13 (33:04):
We tied our jackets together, started a big volleyball game
in the dorm. We were playing soccer because they gave
out like socks and jocks, so we'd wrap them up
into a soccer ball and kick it around.
Speaker 11 (33:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Fun.
Speaker 13 (33:14):
I think as it progressed and people started kicking each
other out and the numbers got smaller than you got
attainable that tribalism people. Yeah yeah, yeah, so I got more.
You know the reason when there were fewer resources and
less people became a bit more content less like school camp,
but more like prison.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Because I feel like it's the first worldwide reality show
I've ever seen that sort of you know, I mean,
like you said, it's not that diverse.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
They're mostly Americans, are a couple of Brits in Australily.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
To the world, and you know, others are usually sort
of you know, stick to one country, your survivors and
your big brothers and.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
All that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
This is amazing. Did you get much to eat? I'm
hearing a few complaints about oh really, no, being so
I lost.
Speaker 13 (34:01):
I'm not exaggerating this in the slightest I lost six
kilos in the week. I was there a week one week. Wow,
there's such a small amount of food. It was like,
you know, a handful of rice, like one egg, maybe
some that's your meal, that's your break that's your lunch,
breakfast with water and oats.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Oh okay, yeah, judge, I'm a big fellow. I've lost
four k lose.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Did you know that you were being teamed up with
someone who was sort of being depicted as quite the.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Villain four three to three? Do you know what villain
that was?
Speaker 13 (34:37):
That was a bit of a strategic decision, to be honest. Yes,
So I don't really like him at the beginning, right,
I thought he was Jesus wants me to win, man Like, it's.
Speaker 12 (34:47):
Just very.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Jesus take the wheel.
Speaker 13 (34:51):
Well and but yeah, in that in that boat in
the in the game, I don't know how much to
get weight battleships. In battleships, I was like, you know what,
there was a boat with all the Aussies and they
wanted me on their boat, and I was like, guys,
I love you guys, but strategically I need to pick
the small boat. Okay, hiris car reward less likely to
get hit if it gets hit, I'm in big trouble.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah, so I go for that. It both ways exactly,
So I go for.
Speaker 13 (35:13):
It, and then I see him step on to it
with me, and I'm like, Okay, he's actually a strategic player.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 13 (35:19):
Also, we knew he was going to be a main character,
so it's never a bad thing to be in the
same boat where all the cameras are around him.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Yeah, there was one point when you came back in
because obviously you're looking to see who's coming back into
the room after each challenge. There's one point and a
whole lot of alpha males you might call, and walked
back in and people go, we wanted these guys to go,
and they mentioned you all of a sudden in the air,
but you were one of the one of the one
of the key players in people's mind.
Speaker 13 (35:43):
I didn't realize that. I was watching with my family
back home, right, my grandma and everyone. As soon as
they said that, I was like, oh, yeah, where that
sounds good?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Can I say congratulations on the umbrella? And I'll just
leave it at that.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Too much away for anybody who hasn't seen the first epish,
he was very you'll.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
See what we mean.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
But can I also say, don't get yourself a favorite
or anything, because they just go and there's no there's
no mucking around.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
People are just gone like that, and that's what's making
it so it was real.
Speaker 13 (36:20):
And once you were out, that was it. Like you
were on a bus and gone. You didn't get to
pack your stuff, you didn't say goodbye to your friends.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
That's it. Do you know who wins?
Speaker 13 (36:28):
I actually have no idea. I don't even know who
gets out in the next round. They were so tight
lived about this, so secretive, no idea.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I feel like they might be saving the Tiger War
for last, because that that looks like that's going to
be the most dramatic to watch.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
You imagine that, such a good team.
Speaker 13 (36:43):
I'm whole games to gather the biggest boys, bloody, intellecture.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Modey, well, a lot of little weedy ones at the
end for the brute strength game.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Well, we don't want to say anymore. We want we
want people to enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
They watch it. Although some people are so stupid.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
I read someone on someone tweeted, oh, this season two
of squid games rubbish.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
From the first season one seems to be actually getting
their blood is great.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
It's weird, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Yeah, hang around, fellow, There'll be another season later. Lovely
to meet you and lovely to watch you on Squid
Game the Challenge.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
Yeah yeah, thank you for having the time I saw
you was at Channel nine, mate, And it's a bit
differently being player two seventy on this show.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
How small is Perth? Your wife was my teacher? Isn't wonder?
Speaker 4 (37:37):
You don't know the lollies smartest kid over to it
and him there, what a pleasure. Now I've just got
a little word of warning here. List. This actually hasn't happened,
but it's a word of warning for people regarding the
bushfires up in Wanneroo, and we know investigations continue up there.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
Now the Base Consumer Protection hasn't have not received any
scam reports, but the Commissioner Trish Blake is coming out
and saying it's only a matter of time, sadly, when
things like this happen, that scammers will be on the loose.
And what they've done is put an early wanting out
to you know, people, kind hearted west Eysies who may
dig deep. We know money's tight, but people are good.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Songs which is ninety eight percent of the start state
versus the two percent of loose you know what.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Yeah, absolutely so. I mean most people have got good hearts.
But in tough times and we saw it Jane Telethon
with a record at total. Again, in tough times, people
still dig deep and give away money they quite often
don't have to give away because they care about other people.
So what they're saying is if you see anything that
looks like something to do with fundraising regarding the bushfires,
then you have to really do you check everything, So
(38:47):
do your due diligence, double check sites and anything that
you receive, you know there could be scam with it
because it could be an email, it could be a
text message. Contact try and contact those people through other ways,
which is with any kind of scam thing that comes up.
And of course there will be any charity or any
kind of crowdfunding, you've got to do that kind of thing.
But they've just got this message out there really because
I know this is the kind of thing that scammers
(39:09):
will hook into. And the Consumer Protection they recommend thoroughly
donating to the Lord Mayor's Distress Relief Fund so you
can go to appeals wa dot org dot au. You
know that's legit.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
This is why it's probably a good reason to a
good idea to keep it to one, keep it to
one money raising site rather than a little ones popping
up here in that because you don't know what's what.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
Yeah, yeah, so that lord mees he'll already raised over
one hundred and fifty grand, which is wonderful, and you
know it's going to a legitimate site, a legitimate place,
and will be the fund's distributed the right way. But
I think it's good they've got on the front foot
and gone out there before. There have been reports of
many of the scams, and.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
You know what we hope happens to people who set
up fake scamps. You're not allowed to say it, yep,
trouble or we might so use your imagination.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
If we say that, we might not be here Thursday. Zimba.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
