Speaker 2 (00:03):
You might remember that the last time we had our
next guess on, Jonesy kind of spat an egg coffee
at him. It went a little bit like.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
This, I'm not really good with egg.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
No.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well, I've heard your humor and I'm surprised to hear that.
So rather than joining us in the studio, Colin Fazni
is keeping a very safe distance. He's over zoom this morning.
The eleventh season of My Kitchen Rules kicks off tonight,
so we're thrilled to talk to Hollo. Colin.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I am very well, and I will correct you today.
It's the fourteenth season.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Wow, fourteenth season.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
We look like eleven. It's fourteen you.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I'm just looking at you on the zoom.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Colin.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
You've got a big ding in your head. What's happened?
You've got a massive scar, two stitches. You've got a
few stitches. What's happened?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I met a deer, not an old deer, real deer.
And let's just say, everywhere I travel, I take a
little piece of it back with me.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Was that an antler that got you in the forehead?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
We could say that the story is going to get
bigger and bigger before I get home.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
You're in New Zealand. So are you saying you were
hunting deer?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I was. I was with my fellow m k R
hosts Manufidel, and we were we were we were stalking.
Put it that way, right, a deer and let's just
say I came off worse.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Does this mean that you're going to eat more venison
or less?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It means I think I'm going to be vegetarian after this.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I don't know how for could shoot and kill an animal.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
And when I was a kid, my grandfather used to
take his ferreting and he put a ferret down the
rabbit hole, and the and the rabbit run out the
other end, and then he'd whack it on the head
to done at the rabbit, and then he'd break its
neck and throw it to us, and then he'd skin
it and then we'd have rabbit for tea.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
And I always used to think, I don't know if
that's for me.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
What a great chat for breakfast radio. I hope everyone's
enjoying it.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
That's what we used to do. That's what that's what
we did back in the seventies.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
That is it. That is real food. I mean like
even right, well we're here to talking about MKR and
some of the things. Well, we had mud crabs in
Townsville that were just pulled straight out of the hole
and just cooked in sea water. And so that's that's
what it's about. It's like real food and real people.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
You know, well, most of us are so removed from that.
We will still eat well, many of us still eat meat,
but a squeamish about where it comes from. So there
is a disconnect, there isn't there.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Oh, I think everyone needs to get in this day
and age know where your food is coming from because
food is so expensive at the minute, Like you need
to know where it's coming from, what it is. It
is a good fear. So that's that's my view on it.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
And with the MKR this time around, what are we seeing.
We're seeing every day cooks because every year they get
better and better and they're almost like professionals like yourself.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
There's mate, there's and there's two dishes in this year
that I can't even cook. So that's there's also a
couple of clangers as well. So is a couple of clangers.
But I think the minute we walked into the table
this year made. They're on fire. This is this is
just like firecrackers, like you couldn't ask for better and
(03:27):
personality wise that they're actually out of control.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Because often, wonder with you and Manu, you have to
spend a number of hours sitting around a table with
these people, and often that's the thing, isn't the meals
take so long to arrive at the table. It must
be exhausting, making you must feel like the royal family
making small talk for that long.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Well, I think you know me by now. My small
talk is not very good. So I sort of I
sort of cut through the chase and they sort of
work out who I am pretty quick. You are kind
of direct way, I would say below a brick.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Is it true that your daughters because you embarrassed the
hell out of them and they want you to quit
the show because they're tired of being embarrassed by their dad.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, big shout out to Lily and may Fast. It's
a saying Claire's school at the minute, Who've asked me
to quit TV? Because I am cringe?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
You're not cringe. You're not cree.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
My daughter as zoomed me last night and seen my
head and she's like you're just an embarrassment. Like she's like,
who's the parent in this relationship?
Speaker 5 (04:32):
That's true though, like Chris Hemsworth's kids would be embarrassed
by and that's what kids do.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I know Chris Hemsworth for tho. You know what I mean,
I'll take that.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
No, I wasn't saying you're Chris. I was saying even
he would be his kids anyway.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I mean, at the minute you're breathing in and out,
you're an embarrassment teacher.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Exactly, exactly, yeah, exactly, Well, mate, we look forward to
watching you eat and there'll be plenty of awful in
the show you because you guys, you and Manu you love.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
He's running Jones. He just annoys me, like on random days,
at random hours of the night, sending me stupid messages
about something I've cooked, telling me how horrible it is awful,
Like he just I think you're bored me. You need
to get a hobby. But he just sends me messages
out of the blue.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I'm just wonder your kids wanting to quit.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
You keep making them buddy of Sheep's guts and stuff that.
Speaker 1 (05:25):

your mind.
Speaker 4 (05:28):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
