Different thing.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I want light more cheese. I mean, we'd all want
more cheese.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Do you ever have enough cheese and a toasty?

Speaker 8 (01:21):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
And it also did cost three dollars fifty, which is
a proper throwback toasty price.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah, that's a nice cheek toasty. I reckon I could
eat ten of those. Yeah, yep, they feel like there's
they're that light.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
They feel like the bread that you put on your
tongue when.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
You go to church, like a communion, the bread, the
sour ough that you get. Put it like this, integrate
like a little wash it down with a little bit
of red, a little bit of blood of Christ. I
reckon I could have ten as well. Three dollars fifty
for a cheese toasty, three dollars fifty for the Body

(01:55):
of Christ.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, yeah, I used to do that.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I wasn't. I'm not baptized. Mum and dad wanted me
to choose wherever I wanted to be. And then but
I went to an Anglican school, but I was still
going up for the Body of Christ. You meant to
do a communion before you do that, and I didn't.
I was like, yeah, I wanted a little bit of this,
Try a little bit of wine.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Really, you're right, yea, oh you should have got smoted down.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
I know all that karma that's happened to me afterwards.
I did all of that.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
I'm baptized, I've had communion and I've been confirmed.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh you've been confirmed.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Confirmation mean idea. I just remember there was a candle
when I walked down in school with.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
A camp Do you wear a little white gown? No,
that's proper, like you're in the church.

Speaker 7 (02:34):
And you're the most ungodly person in this whole room. Now.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, yes, I'd sort of covered my bases early and
thought I'd like to get in his good books and
then just assume that he's got other people and other
things to worry about.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, which I'm sure they all do. Anyway, Why do
we get onto that you compared cheese toasties to eating
communion wafers?

Speaker 6 (07:33):

like don't charge.

Speaker 7 (07:37):
The music when you knew exactly.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
What it was, you sung along, You sung all of
the songs, you knew the who.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Is by Unfortunately that's the entire game.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
We are exposing the secrets behind the scenes of The
Australian Biggest Loser, joined now by Shannon Ponton, one of
the trainers from the show.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Shannon, the Biggest Loser?

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Have you seen this Netflix duco that everyone's been talking
about fit for TV?

Speaker 8 (08:01):
I did might have watched it on the weekend, just
just sheerly because of the weight of people that was
watching it seen it if I sort of watched it
and knowing what we did back there was twenty years ago.
You got to remember when we first started. Things have
changed a lot in what we know about mental health
and that sort of space. Now. One thing's for sure,
the people that were represented on that program would have

(08:22):
benefited from post show counseling, however, or whatever that may be.

Speaker 6 (08:27):
Let's go behind the scenes for a second, Shanning, do
you regret the way that you were with these contesters?

Speaker 3 (08:32):
If you were to do that show today, would you
be the same?

Speaker 8 (08:35):
Yeah, I would definitely be exactly the same. And I
think the thing to understand is I was never ever
told to say anything. I was never ever told to
do anything. Everything I did was of my own volition.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Jillian and Bob, the American trainers, like they were obviously
very over the top. There was even things in the
show that came out like they were giving them caffeine
pills and they were ignoring the show doctors' orders a
few times to do extra stuff. I'm very happy we
didn't see the Australian one in the Netflix doco, sounded
like most things were above board.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Shannon, was there anything that wasn't.

Speaker 8 (09:04):
No, we didn't have any access to give anything to
the content, and they're locked up. We're locked up on
the way in. We don't have access to do it,
and something we would never do. But from a sports
science point of view, I don't think what they did
was dreadfully bad. Kathleen's Katheleen, you can have a couple
of cups of coffee. It's going to do the same
thing ethically wrong. But from a sports science point of view,

(09:26):
it's probably like they probably they shouldn't have done it,
Like it's a waste of time. The advantage that you'd
get having some cafeen wasn't worth the risk of doing
it because your innocence become a drug cheat mate.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
What about the weigh ins? Was that ever altered in anyway?

Speaker 8 (09:39):
No, we don't have any say over that, but I
can imagine and in my conversation with producers and the
like on the way through, that was the one defining
feature the Biggest Loser had that other reality TV shows
didn't have.

Speaker 15 (09:51):
Yeah, I watched.

Speaker 8 (09:52):
Mastershif or something and beautiful great Dish I've ever had
his ato and then for us a kilos Ailo Graham's
a gram everyone that lost a kilo lost the kilo
and it can't be open to interpretations in your perception.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yep, it was objective, not subjective exactly.

Speaker 8 (10:08):
Things.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
What do you think about all the weight loss injections
that are the new craze that's happening at the moment,
seem a.

Speaker 8 (10:16):
Glues Heide is the drug that's in ozen pick, and
I'm not appunched to it. I think it's way less
invasive than having stomach stapled or a gastric band or
something put on ye, and it can offer the similar
results in my mind if people learn good habits around it,
because basically all that does is silence the food noise
is a very easy way to say it. So it

(10:37):
will help people with the food addiction not be addicted
by food so much. So it just quiets that food
noise a bit.

Speaker 6 (10:42):
Wouldn't that be amazing if that was for other addictions
like drugs and alcohol, Well, that would be incredible.

Speaker 8 (10:47):
Well well, well, well, well when you say that the
oz en pick stops, I've trained a lot of people
high functioning alcoholics and things like that, who overweight because
of their alcohol addiction. Stop someone in to drink because
it takes the pleasure center away from the alcohol as well,
so it does have a knock on a fair.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
So you deal with a lot of these people shout
and have you seen them like making mistakes to the
injectibles or any tips that we can give for a
few of our listeners out there who are on them.

Speaker 8 (11:12):
I think yeah, I think you do exactly what the
doctor says, and don't overdo it and try and re
educate yourself on the way through whilst the drugs there
trying to stop you eating, so you may as well
use it while you're there, and it's probably a healthy
thing in essence, under the doctor's guidance to come on
and off and on and off as you need.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
It before you are you in touch with any of
the former contestants? Do you still see any of them
here anything?

Speaker 8 (11:35):
Yeah, definitely, And I'm always here. The funny thing is
a lot of them don't reach out to me because
they're either embarrassed or they're disappointed in what they've done.
They think they've let me down. But I'm always here.
I've still got my phone there, I've still got the
phone number, and ever advice or help I can give
them I'm always there. Still to this day, there's probably
about ten that I'm still in contact with, but I'm
still good friends with.

Speaker 6 (16:59):
All right, a bit of a throwback right now to
Ben Leet. Yeah, I cared es. He's got a podcast
it's called Weirder Together, and he's recently just slammed our
very own.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Taylor Swift in the latest episode, have Listened.

Speaker 17 (17:21):
We have to talk about pop music's greatest supervillain, Taylor Swift.
She did pull off the single greatest rock and roll
swindle of all time, which was in her quest to
buy her master's back.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
She convinced her.

Speaker 17 (17:37):
Fans that it was a battle that somehow was for
their benefit. She got her customers to feel like it
was a cause. So she had a personal business, grape,
and she turned it into a cause to be able
to convince millions of people that it was somehow in
their benefit to help her make more money.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
He's jealous.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Ben.

Speaker 6 (17:59):
Ben also admitted to re recording his own music as
financial tool as well.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Oh catch might as these brackets Ben's version.

Speaker 13 (18:09):
Ben, she didn't own down owner song since she wanted
to own a song, so she's like, I'm going to
re record them, and then eventually got to a point
where they're like, Okay, you can buy your songs back.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
Yeah, who cares? You just ruined yourself. Ben, get a
deeper voice too, Let's go to Katie Perry. Now, look,
when I first heard this this morning, I was like,
oh wow, Katie Perry made eighty million dollars on her stadiums,
like the stadium tour that she just did, the one
that you were bagging.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Originally, I was like, that is so much money.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yes, that's great.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
So it obviously went really well. Eighty million dollars is
great for someone that can't.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
Dance gross eighty million. Don't say she can't dance.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
She does it on purpose, She's got personality.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
But I will say I've just compared it to the
other big artists.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
So Taylor Swift her Ears to her took over.

Speaker 6 (18:52):
Two billion dollars as the biggest concert ever two billion
dollars US as well.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Pink seven hundred million.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, her latest tour about a billion Australian dollars.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
Beyonce for her Cowboy Carter tour that your beautiful wife
Eliza went to in Paris one hundred and seven million dollars.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Pretty sure be anyway in too, like four countries as well,
five countries in there too.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
How did JLO make two.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Hundred and forty eight million because Jlo toured only two
countries that are still obsessed with their music.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
She didn't go to any of her mainstream.

Speaker 7 (19:22):
Come literally to like Kazakhstan.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
She did.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
She played in Kazakhstan like six nights in a row
and sold it out all the time because they only
just got music from the two thousand.

Speaker 6 (19:35):
So then, yeah, that's not making Katie look very good
with eighty million, But I mean I'd be stocking with that.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
That's absolutely incredible. Yeah, I think so too.

Speaker 6 (19:42):
All Right, So if you've always kind of gone a
Queen Miller whatever, don't like her?

Speaker 2 (19:46):
This will make you like her. Does anyone like Queen Kimilla?

Speaker 1 (19:49):
What are her redeeming features? You tell me no, that's
my point.

Speaker 6 (19:52):
She obviously has something going for her because he chose
Diane her over Diana. What does she have over Diana?
Do you want to just say what you just did
with your hands?

Speaker 7 (20:01):
Yeah? What was that? Max?

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Absolutely not? What were you just doing with your hands?
What does she have?

Speaker 4 (20:05):
Alu?

Speaker 2 (20:06):
She's good at table tennis? Is she?

Speaker 3 (20:09):
She's also good at fighting off attackers with a shoe.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
I love this.

Speaker 6 (20:13):
There's a new royal book that's come out called The
Power in the Palace. Love this all the inside stories
from the Royals.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Is it written by an insider?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Huh, yep, it's.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Written by an insider.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
Well, it's called the inside Story of the Monarchy, so
it has to be not an outsider.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Anyway. One of the stories was in there.

Speaker 6 (20:28):
It was about Camilla and saying when she was a teenager,
she took off her shoe on a train and guy
was trying to touch her and she gouged into his balls. Oh,
and then she said, I did what my mother taught
me to.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
I took off my shoe and whacked him in.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
The nuts with a heel.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
She said that, Yeah, that's what my dad always says,
Go for the nuts.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Go for the nuts. Am I wrong?

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Insiding she's the one that essentially was driving a wedge
between Diana, I.

Speaker 6 (20:54):
Would say yes, but I think Diana probably wanted to
get out of there as well.

Speaker 7 (20:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
I don't think they were happy, but I think she
was always that woman, and they had a little affair
early on, and then they came back to each other
and they were always on the phone to each other.

Speaker 7 (21:06):
I'm a royal correspondent, you know everything about it.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
No, we don't like Kimilla because of that. Oh good.

Speaker 6 (21:12):
But also I thought that she freed Diana, because Diana
doesn't want to be the.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Charles to the Charles Death. Free Diana. She was, she
was still here. How good would the crown have if
she'd stuck around. You'll imagine as our queen glasses.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
Oh my god, the first time you go through our
haunted house, it is efying.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
To be honest. I've been through it about ten times
and it still gets you.

Speaker 6 (21:43):
Yeah, and they come out a different spots, so you
never know when they're going to come out either, and
they'll breathe on your neck and or it feels like
they're touching you but they don't touch it.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
And that guy that's got like the clicky fingers so
just sort.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Of rolls his fingers along in your ears. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (21:57):
So yesterday we took some celebrities through the house. First
stuff were the guys on the Block Adelais, Guys on
the Block How.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
We love Yeah, Robbie and Matt.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
We took Robbie and Matt through and we decided it's look,
we could listen to them scream bit boring. We're gonna
do truth and scared with them. So there's no dare
and there's no choice. You're telling the truth, and you're
getting scared. We asked a bunch of questions as they
were being scared.

Speaker 2 (22:21):

gonna cutis on this? I'm gonna cut my hair?

Speaker 7 (22:37):
And what happened?

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Did you like to sit there and at any point
for you zack Efron was cutting your hair?

Speaker 2 (22:44):
At any point did you give him advice?

Speaker 1 (22:47):
No?

Speaker 2 (22:47):
No, I say out and tack Efron lay there today.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Anyone on the block you really got on your goat,
whether it was contestant mar Judges got on my nerves
of it.

Who is the person that you would like to kick
out if you could?

Speaker 14 (23:26):
Ben?

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Why because he tries to sip to still our ideas.

Speaker 16 (23:31):
Because you can't think of any good ones for us?

Speaker 4 (23:35):
Why so much?

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Do you know how much money extra you went on
the block? Did you wish I could get a price
for one hundred thousand dollars for.

Robbie and Matt setting the bar. Yeah, true and scared.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
All this week we're going to be playing back some
audio and taking a whole bunch of big names around
Adelaide's through their various hard hit levels of hard hitting questions,
various levels of screaming.

Speaker 18 (24:37):
Do you know what?

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Who cares about? The big names?

Speaker 3 (24:39):
We want to see your videos.

Speaker 6 (24:40):
We've been getting dms of you going through the house
with your phones.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Please keep them coming. We'll share them like on our
stories and things like that.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
It's excellent tag mixed Adelaide and we love to see them.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
It gives us a little special kid so much joy.

Speaker 7 (24:54):
Go down there and check it out as well.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
Having Max's horned House presented by Hollywood Horror is at
the Royal and Lads Show next. It's kind of like
Max Burford's own horror house isn't at the Wall of Truth.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
He hates it so much.

Speaker 8 (25:06):
I just like it.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
But I'm gonna get angry some people.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
Okay, that's what's going to say? The questions who's the
last person to really annoy you? And I want you
to fire up and really tell us who and why you.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Actually, I don't want you to be calm like that though.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
I want you to let let your beast out.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
I want you to really mad Max. Yeah, Mad Max.
I'll try and channel him over the break. Someone to
get me a red.

Speaker 7 (25:30):
Bull Hailey hand maxes world famous Wall of.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
All Right, we are unleashing the beast in Max today
with a question that you have to answer.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
That's mad, Set yourself free, go wild with this one. Sure,
what's the question?

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Who was the last person apart from me to really
annoy you?

Speaker 1 (26:00):
It was you and it was about fifteen minutes ago
on the radio. But prior to that, prior to that,
I could open a real Pandora's box based on one person.
Over the weekend, I came across a friend I'll call
them a friend who we were complimenting, like talking about rings,
wedding rings, engagement rings, and this person said that this

(26:22):
actually isn't my engagement ring.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
This is fake. It's cheap, it's worth nothing. What do
you mean looks great? I can't tell the difference between
diamonds and sport skilled diamonds. You know, why are you
wearing that?

Speaker 1 (26:34):
He goes, well, I don't want the real one, which
is obviously worth a bit of money. I don't want
that out and about, like getting dirty or scratched or
any of this. So I've got a fake one that
I wear out to things, and I just keep the
real one at home, locked away.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
It's precious. And that sort of set me off a
little bit.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
I was like, this, your partner has gone out, and
your partners spent a lot of money on this. They
really want you to look beautiful all the time, like
it's a sign of the love that's worth thousands of dollars,
and you've decided it's not a thing that I really
want to show off because I'm worried I might.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Lose it saving for what are you saving it for?

Speaker 1 (27:11):
And then from there I spiraled because at this dinner party,
we were using the good cutlery and the good plates
that these people have, and it's in the same vein,
and they only get the good plates out like twice
a year for a down And I despise the good

(27:35):
plates and the good cutlery because if you're at home
on a Tuesday night, like just you and your partner,
and you're having two minute noodles, why not use the
good plates.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
They're your best plates.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Don't you want your meal to be a little bit
special every time midweek? And from there, I mean you
could go down so many paths. I grew up with
a friend and they had a They had quite a
large house. They had a room in their house that
no one ever went into. They had like a formal
dining room. What's the point of the room. They didn't
have formal dinner parties in it?

Speaker 7 (28:08):
They just.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Saving it for.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
So many people have things that they're saving for special occasions.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Every day is a specialist. I used to be a saver.
I get it. I get these people. I used to
save things because I was I was like, I don't
want to save it for good. I don't want to
ruin it. And then someone said to me, and this
is probably where my morbid brain started. You don't know,
they might not be tomorrow. That's exactly right.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
I use it today.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
And I was like, you are so right.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
I eat cereal at home every single day in our
good luxA bowls because it's the best for cereal.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
My very expensive fancy roundhouse like plates that I think
you have as.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Well, Yeah, the ones that have the Italian world. Yes,
I love that. I use them all the time.

Speaker 8 (28:51):
Why not.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
I want to eat sausages, potato and gravy on a plate.
I've had this conversation with my husband.

Speaker 6 (29:01):
He is the opposite to me, and he buys like
figurines and shoes and things like that that he doesn't ring.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Out, don't play with them, and keeps them in the box.

Speaker 6 (29:13):
A lord of the rings, little whatever the creature is
in a box at home somewhere because he didn't get out.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Blame the weird thing from Laura.

Speaker 5 (29:20):
Things get broken, like when you guys came over to
Lauren's house and she got her good one hundred and
fifty dollars decanter out. Yeah, and your wife broke it
and then you left and never offered to replace it.
That's why people don't the good stuff. We've argued about
this in the radio before we have it.

Speaker 7 (29:34):
I'm still bitter about it.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
But that is a good thing that that's the reason
to bring it out.

Speaker 7 (29:38):
No, it's a reason not to bring it out.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
No, that was a dinner party. Okay.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Well, if it's a cheap thing and you break the
cheap thing and then you just replace it with another
cheap what's the difference.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Accidents happen.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
I used to do it with kids' clothes, right, so
I'd be like, no, no, they can't wear that to
daycare because it's a good thing. And they're like, you're
gonna grow.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Out of it tomorrow. Wear it today, Wear your good
stuff today.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
The kids don't know what's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
But kids that are out there and it's six months
away from Bookweek and they're wearing their Harry Potter costume
because mum said, you know what, that's fine. I don't
care if you get scuffs in the knees of your
Harry Potter.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Good for you.

Speaker 7 (30:06):
I'm a big saver.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Good for you.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
I buy clothes and then don't wear them for like
six months. Why because I don't want to ruin them?

Speaker 2 (30:13):
What do you mean? What do you mean I wear
right away with the tag on.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
This kills me so much that people have this, and
so many are in that boat that it's the couch.
It's the couch you have at home with the plastic
still on it. Who has plastic on their couch?

Speaker 2 (30:25):
I went to a MAT's house on the weekend.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
I'm really spiraling here, and I've already talked for too long,
But I went to a matsouse on the weekend and
they had plastic on the corners of the couch, just
so if people brushed past.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, ah, what are we doing. It's the back of
a couch. It's your couch. You already paid for it,
all right? Can we put this out there? I think
you've had enough. You need to come down. You actually
got my blood pressure going there?

Speaker 7 (30:45):
No good th three.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
The weird stuff that you hold on to, the things
that you bought, the expensive things you haven't used it.

Speaker 6 (30:53):
Yeah, like an expensive bottle of grain hemihage, what are
you waiting for?

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Crack it open now?

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Alright, I'm an annoyed angry boy this morning, just like
every day. Really, that's what you have to do, a
little bit grumpy hoes us in the Wall of truth.
The last person really annoyed me. Open a Pandora's. Essentially,
the people that annoy me are the people that have
a thing that's a nice thing and they never use
it because I'm saving it for a special occasion. Every
day's a special occasion. Mate, use your good cutlery. It's fine.

(31:19):
You're absolutely all right to use the good bubls to
eat cereal in Okay, that's.

Speaker 6 (31:23):
Good, good passion there, Max, I like that, appreciate that. Yeah,
Jody and Elizabeth North, are you one of these people?
Do you hold onto things?

Speaker 8 (31:30):
Look?

Speaker 10 (31:30):
I don't hold onto things, but this paves me my ex.
I used to buy him really nice shoes for like birthdays.

Speaker 11 (31:35):
And Christmases and stuff.

Speaker 14 (31:36):
He wouldn't even take them out and try them on.

Speaker 10 (31:38):
He would wrap the backs box up in glad wrap
and just put them under the bed.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
What is he saving them for?

Speaker 7 (31:42):
Jody?

Speaker 10 (31:44):
I don't know when nobody else is wearing that pear.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
I hate that so much.

Speaker 11 (31:51):
It used to piss me off, Like.

Speaker 14 (31:52):
He wouldn't even try them on, like I've just.

Speaker 10 (31:55):
Bought out these shoes, brought you with ice pro shoes, Like,
put those shoes off, you brought it.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
It's nice, doesn't he want to look good? Like cool?

Speaker 11 (32:03):
Oh yeah, that's what I thought.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
I'm glad your exte.

Speaker 11 (32:09):
Oh yeah, I think that's one of the reasons that.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
All right, it's not current X. It's very funny, Lorna
in O'Sullivan's Beach.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
What do you hold on to because you want to say, yeah, look, I.

Speaker 9 (32:24):
Just want to say that I sort of agree with Max,
like use it, but I also don't agree, as in,
like it's for good, don't use it. But my my
demonstrants scented candles by really expensive candles and then hold
on to them.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
What are we talking price wise for an expensive candle.

Speaker 9 (32:45):
Lorna, eighty to one hundred bucks?

Speaker 6 (32:49):
Is this because you like the look of it in
your house, just sitting there without the yucky burn marks?

Speaker 9 (32:54):
No, I just like the smells. I wanted to save it, Lorna.
And then when I do like them, the straglances evaporated.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Let me tell you a little special thing about scented candles.
When you use some as they're intended and you set
them on fire, they smell even better.

Speaker 9 (33:14):
Well I don't know that because like by the time
I live mine.

Speaker 8 (33:16):
I had no.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Give you the he I'll give you the tip. I reckon.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
If you go home and you try burning a few
of these, you'll be like, you know what, that's actually
better than.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Them just sitting there, And I can buy a new
one when it dies.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
I know, eighty dollars is a lot, but there's also
good twenty dollars candles for twelve dollars?

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Can you could burn through for the same price.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Look are you changing?

Speaker 1 (33:37):
They thank you for sitting on the fence floor and
hopefully we've changed your life today.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Louise in panorama, what does your mum do?

Speaker 4 (33:46):
Oh hello?

Speaker 11 (33:47):
I grew up max with a good room. We had
the good room.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Were in there, we know the good room?

Speaker 11 (33:53):
Yeah, yeah, it was a good room and we were
always told to sit on not lounge on it. I'm like,
it's a lounge. But anyway, we had lots of you know,
fine china and the good stuff. And when my children
a little aceed to pull it all out there, I
can have tea parties with their toys, much to my
mother's horror. Over time she started to understand because the
sit with the value for me is in using it, yea,
not looking at it.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
It's a nice rule.

Speaker 11 (34:15):
Yeah, and the kids love it. And I've still got
boxes of that special china now for my grandchildren to
play with.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Louise, My auntie and uncle have a good room in
the front of their house and they have grandchildren running around,
and the good room has got like a rubber band
across the front door. You could take it off, but
the kids can't reach it. There is no reason no
one ever goes in the good room.

Speaker 6 (34:34):
Most good rooms are haunted to notice that it's an
old house because they're always like an old dining room
that no one's used.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Oh my god, there, Louise, you still with us? Ye
would you like to go to the Bend classic?

Speaker 11 (34:49):
Oh my god, you have no idea how much I
would like to do that.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, you get those get those boots scooting country wheels
on your heading up?

Speaker 2 (34:57):
All right, awesome, get ready in the good room. You
use this one though, Okay, I wear my best shoes.

Speaker 7 (35:05):
You can't leave this to you got to use it, Louise.

Speaker 5 (35:08):
This is and admit for three day pass to the
then Classic twenty twenty five right ep access to the
Texas Club trackside camping as well.

Speaker 11 (35:16):
Wonderful suck in, Luise, wonderful, Thank.

Speaker 7 (35:19):
You, you're welcome.

Speaker 6 (35:21):
Okay, we saw the most beautiful story this week, so cute.
Everyone's hearts were singing across South Australia when we saw this.
A ten year old Annabella went to her Wakeriy Primary
school dressed for book Week as Magda as Sharon Sharon
him and it's so brilliant. You see the photo and
you actually think, oh, that's Sharon. Then you look close
and I'm like, no.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
That kid's ten.

Speaker 6 (35:42):
That's a ten year old kid and she has done
the most incredible job dressing up as.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Sharon the netball beevon, got the ball cut and got
their brace on the hand, brace on the left hand.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
And then something magical happened.

Speaker 6 (35:54):
Magda, the real Magda saw it and from her hospital bed,
oh there, Well, this.

Speaker 18 (35:59):
Is a special shout out to the little ten year
old Anabella Willis in Adelaide. I just wanted to say, Darling,
thank you so much for your fashination of sharing Stresa.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
He I mean, he having chemo and it really cheered
me up.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
And I'm very touched and it was a beautiful thing
to do.

Speaker 18 (36:17):
Thank you, my sweet Lots of love and lots of
love to you all.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Bye. Annabella and Mum Rachel are on the line with
us right now. Morning girls, goodnight, morning, Oh girls. Tell
us the reaction.

Speaker 6 (36:31):
How did you feel when you found out that Magda
responded and saw you dressed up as her?

Speaker 9 (36:38):
Ama was very shocked and.

Speaker 19 (36:42):
Very very happy.

Speaker 14 (36:44):
She actually thought that she had won the Advertiser Bookweak competition.
That's what the screaming was about, because we didn't realize
that she'd responded. We had all these messages coming through
on my phone and I was like, what is my
phone pinging? And I kind of ignored it, and then
I saw one of the messages. It was actually from

(37:06):
a deputy principal wait Primary, and she said Magda has
replied on video. So when we saw her, we were
just in disbelief, like in shock that she had replied,
but also to see Magda looking so unwell and taking
the time to reply with everything she was going through,

(37:27):
very very amazing, but yeah, also quite heartfelt to see
her like that.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Did you shed a tear Mum Rachel when you saw.

Speaker 14 (37:35):
The Marcus and I are my husband, Annabella's dad. We
were a blubbering mess. We just yeah, the enormity of
her I think and just see Magda that way just
really brought it home for us. So we were crying.
And the fact she took the time to, you know,
in her treatment, to actually record a message for Annabella,

(37:58):
like she.

Speaker 6 (37:59):
Didn't even go to the logis like she she couldn't
go to the logos because she's so unwell so and
she would be feeling so rotten going through chemo right now?

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Why did you us up as Sharon? Where did that
come from?

Speaker 19 (38:10):
Originally me and my two best friends were going to
do this through Chipmunks, but didn't have enough time to
plan it. Me and mum boys came up for the
amazing I did to dress up as Sharon. I thought
that was a great idea because I don't know, we
were trying it as a joke to see if Magata
could see it.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Annabella, do you watch Kathy Kim? Have you seen much
Kathy Kim? Is it a show that you like?

Speaker 14 (38:34):
Watch it all the time?

Speaker 8 (38:38):
Loved it?

Speaker 2 (38:39):
What are your favorite things that Sharon does on the show?

Speaker 8 (38:41):
I love netball.

Speaker 19 (38:46):
My favorite thing. Yeah, when she gets playing netball, playing
netball and she had the baby.

Speaker 5 (38:53):
Hey, Annabella, you look the part. Do you sound the park?
Can you give us a little Sharon's tress lucky impersonation
in your voice.

Speaker 19 (39:00):
My name Sharon, Sharon. She's like it. I'm the captain
of the Sapphire's netball team. I'm a bit despering.

Speaker 11 (39:07):

Speaker 2 (43:08):
So listen to Burjo and get off speaking. Going to

Speaker 5 (43:14):
You want to be able to hear what they're saying,
and they sometimes can't hear you. Guys properly asking the question.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
I did notice.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
I thought he was fine.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
It is a radios. I understood every single word that
he said.

Speaker 7 (43:24):
It sounded like it was underwater.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
No, he didn't mate the water mate.

Speaker 7 (43:28):
Right, See any repairs required.

Speaker 6 (43:33):
There is a rule made by children at my kid's
school that I hate, and it upsets me endlessly because
I would hate to be in that position.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
A rule made by children. Yes, not the teachers. The
teachers are great. I love the school. It's not official.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
It's an official kid rule. They think it's official.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
It's a rule.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
I'll tell you what happened. I'm at the Kiss and
Drop picking up my son the other day is ten.
He gets in the car and he's like.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
I've sinned.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Mom.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
I broke the rule, the biggest rule. I can't believe
I did it, and I'm like, what are you? Okay?

Speaker 3 (44:10):
He told me, and then I was like, okay, I
need to get this audio for radio.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Can you say that again? And I recorded it. Have
a listen. Are you know at school?

Speaker 4 (44:21):
What happened?

Speaker 20 (44:22):
They climb and look over the cubicles?

Speaker 8 (44:24):
No?

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Did they do that?

Speaker 8 (44:26):
No?

Speaker 16 (44:26):
I didn't today.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
I mean, he's a drama queen.

Speaker 6 (44:30):
So he started to put on an accent at the end,
Poet school, You're not allowed to poohe at school.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
This is the kid rule. It's the biggest no. No,
you cannot do it.

Speaker 6 (44:40):
So my thirteen year old then gets in the car
and Alfie the little One's like, I broke the rule today.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
I did a boo and Alston's like, no.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
Mate, you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
So why did you do that? You can't poets school?
Did he say that? The dudes peak over the cubicle?

Speaker 4 (44:54):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (44:54):
So what happens?

Speaker 3 (44:55):
This is what I hate this because if you need
to do a pooh, you need to do a pooh.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
So if you need you need to go to the toilet.

Speaker 6 (45:01):
At this particular school ran for breakfast all the other
kids no, and they go into the toilet and peer
over the cubicle. Why throwing things at you and yelling
at you.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
What we're getting bullied for poohing these days?

Speaker 6 (45:17):
Well, I said to Alfie's like, what you need to
do is you need to flip this rule, because this
is a dumb rule. If your bows are saying I
need to go the toilet, you need to go the toilet. Okay,
it's not like you're at work because we have an
office rule here.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
You don't do it here. That's fair enough. You go
somewhere else. At the seven eleven or were they have
that rule because one person does very smelly poos, right,
But at school, you're a child and if you need
to go the toilet, you can.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
Just go the toil.

Speaker 6 (45:37):
There's nothing wrong with that, and you should be able
to go on peace and quiet. There's all bows your rules.
There's a reason that there's no official school rule that
says no pooing in our toilets, and teachers obviously would hate.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
This rule that the kids have made up.

Speaker 6 (45:47):
And I've said to him, well, you need to flip that,
and you need to make a big deal of it
and announce to everyone I'm off to do a pooh everyone,
and if you follow me, you're a foul pig.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
And so that's what I want him to do. But
he's like, no, no, Mama, can't. I can't.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
But I just couldn't.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
I just couldn't help myself. So I would like our
team to Oh, hang Onna, not yet. Someone's just called in.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Oh my god, Allison, Alison, good morning, Good morning god, Alison.
Can you please tell us what he've called?

Speaker 10 (46:19):
So the other day my son phoned me from school.
I had to come and fetch him because he wanted
to make a poop, but he didn't want to do it.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
At school, right, same same rule, same rule, same school,
same school.

Speaker 6 (46:37):
Stay on the phone because I'm trying to get I'm
going to change this rule for everyone.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
Kids.

Speaker 6 (46:41):
If you're listening to this, you're allowed to do a poof.
You need to go to the toilet at school, You
go to the toilet. It is your right, your boughs.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
Hailey's fighting the fight for the kids here, Allison. What
does your son do when he needs.

Speaker 7 (46:51):
To go for a poop?

Speaker 10 (46:53):
So he goes to the sick bay and then they
phone me and say he has a tummy ache. And
then I have to come and fetch him, and I
now refuse to do that, so I say that he
just he needs to go to another another bathroom.

Speaker 6 (47:06):
This is so sad with all of these stupid I
don't know what year they started in, but it's a
legit thing.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
There is no way in hell my thirteen year old
would ever go. It's so bad, it's bad for you, right, Okay,
So Hailey Allison's on board.

Speaker 6 (47:22):
We're going to do a chant and I'm going to
start it and you're all going to join in. In fact,
I want our producers in there to come in. Three
of you come into our studio on three to one.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
We're going to chant let them pooh, okay, and we're
chanting let them pooh.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
This is to sync through to all of the children,
all the children, all the children. The teachers are bang
up for it. The teachers would never say you can't
go to the toilet, sleep them. This is the children's right.
If you want to pooh, let them pooh.

Speaker 7 (47:47):
Let them.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
One of our favorite things to do on this show
is lift the lid on what goes on behind the
scenes on reality TV shows. We've talked Survivor before we've
talked Master Chef before. One that is getting blown open
right now on Netflix is The Biggest Loser. They've got
a three part doco called Fit for TV. It's mostly
about the American Biggest Loser, but it's about all the
stuff that goes on behind the scenes and there's a
lot of controversy. So is there any that going on

(48:20):
in the Australian Biggest Loser when it was on our
screens for so long? Luke Stevens is on the phone
with us right now. He is a former Biggest Loser contestant.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
Morning Luke, Good morning guys.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
Let's go back to when you were on The Biggest Loser.

Speaker 6 (48:32):
What is something that you know that happened that we
wouldn't know and that the public should probably know.

Speaker 15 (48:38):
Probably the time to take to filming. So on Wayne day,
we will get up in the morning, we get weigh
on a set of big fish scales, so the easy
way to put it with the screen facing weight from
us to the producers, so we actually don't know were
weight before Wayne, and then we all waddle up to
the gym. You can stand up there for hours upon
hours while we know everyone walks up to the so

(48:58):
called scales. The scales we actually get on are not real.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
The big ones that we see with the numbers that
go back and forth.

Speaker 15 (49:05):
Yeah, that's right, that's all computer generated. From what they
so say our weight was. The producers can actually change
their weight if they wanted to, because we have no
evidence of.

Speaker 8 (49:14):
What it is.

Speaker 6 (49:15):
Oh wow, okay, Luke, Because we spoke to Shannon Ponton,
one of the trainers, and I asked him if the
ways were altered, have a listen, what about the weigh ins?

Speaker 3 (49:25):
Was that ever altered anyway?

Speaker 8 (49:27):
No, we don't have any say over that.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
I feel like Shannon doesn't have any say over it.
But it sounds like maybe the producers might of your reckon, Luke.

Speaker 8 (49:34):
Yeah, I believe so.

Speaker 15 (49:35):
I mean, myself and Shannon got on quite well and
he was quite open and honest with us. But I
definitely I believe that the directors can guide the weights
to where they need to be after hearing certain conversations
through some boats that are laid around the house, and
conversations we have within our teams, within our buildings. So yeah,
I think it's definitely guided.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Yeah, why would they be doing that? Do you think
what reasons?

Speaker 15 (49:55):
Well, at the end of the day, it's all about ratings. Yeah,
what I went through I was. I end up being
labeled quite quickly as one of the favorites to win
it and a fairly likable guy on the show, and
all of a sudden when the alcohol came involved into
the show and I was labeled as an alcoholic and
kicked off the show. The ratings were gone through the
roof for that. So that was just all the ratings game,

(50:16):
And that's not a true story on its own. Well,
I didn't actually smoke with the alcohol inside.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Yeah, But for those of us that don't quite remember,
Luke your work, you were kicked off the show.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
What happened? You had too many You had too many
beers one night or something.

Speaker 15 (50:29):
Yeah, So what it was, it was, actually we'd stopped
filming over the Christmas New Year theory and we'd spoken
to the trainers about having a couple of drinks on
Year's Eve, and it was said that we could have
a couple and then a few of the trainers said, no,
you can't. Anyway, It was actually one of the female
contestants to help arrange her sons to drop off some
alcohol into the show. But what it ended up happening

(50:49):
is we partook in the alcohol, and there was a
bit of hate of us that did so, and I
probably took it to the extremes and thought that I
could drink what I used to be able to drink,
and obviously, after losing forty three kilos, couldn't quite handle it.
Was I was labeled as the alcoholic in that situation.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
So and you kicked off the show.

Speaker 15 (51:07):
Yeah, it was publicized that I brought in the alcohol
after winning a challenge in coming home to South Australia
for twenty four hours and basically, yeah, basically threatened that
certain stories would get out about that evening that happened
and everything like that. So it's sort of I had
to go along with it. I was in New magazine saying,

(51:28):
how's an alcoholics.

Speaker 6 (51:31):
Something to say that, yes, I would agree to do
ally all this even though I'm not an alcoholic.

Speaker 15 (51:35):
Well, I think it's not eveny really that comes down
to it. I mean we were handed I don't know
how many pages, but let's say, six hundred page document
at the age of early twenties and said sign this
and anything you disclosed is we can see you type
of things. So I mean, it's quite frightening when a
network and threatened to see you and you've got no

(51:55):
leg to stand on. So I was basically told you
if I didn't go along with it, that there would
be certain things exposed. And at that time I was
in the hostility and security industry and they could jeopardize
my licensing, so it was quite harsh.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
Yeah, oh, Luke, this is the dark side that we
don't get to see so much. We actually really want
to keep chatting to you and it's so fascinating to us.
So can you stick with us for a couple of
minutes and I want to come back. I want to
ask you about some of the coaching methods that these
trainers used on you.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
All right, Hall and Max in.

Speaker 5 (52:25):
The Morning joins by former Biggest Loser contestant Luke Stevens.

Speaker 7 (52:29):
We're going behind the Biggest Loser.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
Yeah, just lifting the lid on a bit of what
happened on that TV shows. A big Netflix doco out
at the moment called Fit for TV. You may have
seen that was about the US one. This is about
the Australian one.

Speaker 7 (52:40):
Luke.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
We have spoken already previously to Shannon Pontan, who was
one of the trainers on the show. This is what
Shannon had to say about his coaching methods and if
he would change anything about his coaching methods.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
If you were to do that show today, would you
be the.

Speaker 8 (52:55):
Same, Yeah, I would definitely be exactly the same. And
I think in my personal experience, I was never ever
told to say anything. I was never ever told to
do anything. Everything I did was of my own volition.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
Now, Shannon came across as quite a good to us,
and I think he was quite a good dude on
the show. Luke, what about the rest of them? Jillian
and Bob in the US were just hard asses. Did
you have any any goss you need to spill on
the trainers and the methods they used.

Speaker 15 (53:20):
I think it sort of comes down to you. You're right,
Shennon was a great guy and supported our team very well.
But through the other trainers there was a lot of persona. Obviously,
Commando has a persona to uphold.

Speaker 8 (53:32):
Michelle.

Speaker 15 (53:33):
I felt that she didn't like me, whether that was
intimidation because you know, I was doing quite well in
the training and things like that, so she very rarely
spoke to me. If he was fine as well, coming
to a training sessions, group training sessions and that. But yeah,
Michelle was very we didn't see how I die put
that way.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
All right, So if you could do your time again,
what would you do differently?

Speaker 15 (53:53):
I wouldn't do it. Quite simple, I wouldn't do it.
I'd quite often say it was a lot of prison.
I mean we had no communication with the outside. Well,
we couldn't watch TV, we couldn't listen to radio, we
couldn't talk to her family, her friends or anything like
that whilst we were on the show. And you're exercising,
so like living in a prison cell because you're not
let it go anywhere. You've got no free free will.
You feel like you put out in the exercise yard

(54:15):
to go to your training.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
But do you think that was for the greater good?

Speaker 6 (54:17):
That's you wanted to lose weight, and you tried everything
before and this was the only thing that was going
to work, and so it was in your best interest
that that's how they treated you.

Speaker 8 (54:24):
I don't think.

Speaker 15 (54:25):
So it's not real. I mean the lessons that you
learn aren't real. I mean I've put on my weight
again since leaving Shanane. I know that the large percentage
of people have, and I think the most concerning thing
about it is like you get people to get angry
at you. So you say I was on the biggest
Loser was you know? It was like prison may turn
aund tell you, but you knew exactly what you're getting
yourself into. We didn't, No one did, and that the

(54:48):
producers are literally there to make money and to make
sure that they get their rating.

Speaker 5 (54:51):
I know you were working out like eight to twelve
hours a day sometimes how many calories because it was
all very restricted.

Speaker 15 (54:56):
Right, It was in a way like it was very
doable if you've got no job to go to and
thing like it. So basically six hundred calories in the
morning and six hundred calories at night is what Shannon
asked of us. Shannon put a lot time and effort
into making sure that we were being able to eat
properly and we'll be able to train properly. And it
was up to us to do that training. Like Shannon

(55:17):
wasn't in every day. Shannon was in maybe two times
a week to do the filming of the training. So
the training itself was up to us.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
But you said you finished the show, you pretty much
put all the weight back on Did you learn anything
that makes you healthier?

Speaker 2 (55:30):
Now?

Speaker 1 (55:30):
You know, whether it be the food intake or the
exercise or what you need to do to drop weight
if you wanted.

Speaker 15 (55:35):
To, yeah, I could, But at the end of the day,
it's actually really expensive to eat healthy. When I first
got off the show, I spent a lot of money
on a personal trainer and I actually dropped a lot
of weight. Got invited back for finale and for Makeover
Week because I was doing so well out of the show.
But it does get expensive, and unfortunately I actually couldn't
go back into my old role because I was labeled

(55:55):
as an alcoholic, so terrible. So even today I was
at twenty twelve, so we're talking thirteen years later. My
current employer, whilst I was going through the employment process,
raised the whole Biggest Loser thing and about me being
an alcoholic and whether they would be an issue if
I come.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
On board with them, and things like that TV storyline.

Speaker 15 (56:16):
You know, it just that little thing just keeps popping
back up.

Speaker 7 (56:19):
In life for me.

Speaker 6 (56:20):
And as soon as the cameras stop the end of
the show, it all finishes. Were you contacted all supported
by anyone on the show.

Speaker 15 (56:27):
It was quite interesting obviously me being kicked off. So
what I received from Sean Australia the biggest loser was literally,
we will send you to two psychiatric sessions. That was it.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
Oh wow, and you were fine from there.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
We've just and possibly ruined some careers and there you
go have two sight sessions on us.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
Sadly, I'm so sorry. Well it sounds like you got
your head screwed on now at least.

Speaker 7 (56:50):
Yeah I do.

Speaker 15 (56:50):
I've got a beautiful life. It has paid off in
regards to my hard work. Nothing the show has been
able to support me through. But yeah, it's been a
tough crawl and you know it has taken that time
to get there and get it sorted.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
Lak, you're a legend. Thank you so much for sharing
your story mate. It's great to hear the behind the
scenes stuff.

Speaker 15 (57:07):
No worries thinking very much.

Speaker 7 (57:08):
Gys appreciate it. All right, Hey we're out of here.
That's you.
