Speaker 1 (00:21):
You know, when I first saw all the ads for
The Floor, I love Roger Courser as you know, but
I thought I've seen so many ads for it. When
the show comes on, will live up to the ads,
and it certainly has. It's become the big breakout hit
of Australian television. It's an interesting concept. Trivia battles until
one has total control of the floor takes home two
hundred thousand dollars, which I think is happening next week.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Roger Coursa, Helloing, good morning everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
When does someone win two hundred thousand.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
On Monday, next Monday next month? In here, you know
he likes it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
That's whays in here.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I can say. Can I just stop for SI? I'm mesmerized.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I haven't been into the new studios. Oh my god,
you guys are posh.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Now look at the view we have.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Oh my god, this view across Sydney is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I know.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I mean, you've give lost your roots the wuk power Posha.
You now looking over the top end of town looking
over the top.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
We encompass Sydney, we encompass, we embrace all types. When
I was a kid, you see that gray building down there, Man,
that's when I say this story. So that gray building
down there with so on a school excursion nineteen seventy nine,
I went along to there.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
That's where two sm used to be, and that's where
I wanted to be in radio.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
But even the way you sit down there sixteen four right,
just saying we've changed what happened to you?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Used to be an actor. Now you're a game show.
But I'll sing or dance, I'll do mitzvahs. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Have you enjoyed this new experience because it's a new
skill set.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It is and you know it is it And but
that's kind of what I've done. I started in rock.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Bands all these years ago, a musical and it was like,
oh there's a gig here, Yeah, I can do it.
And I think Ossie actors, especially compared to maybe US
and UK, it's like can you do this?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Can you can you skateboard? Can your horse ride?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yep, I can do I can do everything. And you're
sort of like you fake it till you make it.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I loved you being a dentist in puberty plains.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
No glove dentist the days, you know what.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I love also, though, on the floor some of the
really niche specialty subjects that people have, what are some
of the weirder ones.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
The one of fruit, well, well food, that's the that's
the least weird ones. I think it was that the
kitchen draw.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I was just like, what's what, that's really what you're
specializing in.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
But people go in with their own specialty, but they
have to come up against other people and have to
compete with other people's specialties.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah, and so I think I think a good general
knowledge is good as opposed to being great in your
own category, like a mastermind or something something like that,
because you know, you can you can get randomly chosen
to play, and then you've got to play.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You've got to pick, you know, one of your neighbors
to play in their category. So you need to know
what's been great. I love this show.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I have not gotten as much feedback, you know, for
any show except this one.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It's because people are watching the same screen, which is
which seems weird.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Where we grew up in you know, the nineties and
end and everyone did that. It's it's weird because it's
the kids are taking the air pods out there is
they're stopped, you know, they're they're they're putting their their
their phones and their iPads down, and the family is
having this kind of commute, communal kind of experience watching
the one screen and because they're all yelling out the
answers and primary school kids can kick their parents butts
(03:38):
and yeah, and it was like wow, it's it's it's amazing.
The whole family's watching, like, yeah, that's what television used
to be.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
It's pretty elaborate set. Where do they film it? Amsterdam?
It's in Amsterdam. I was like, yeah, it.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Was in my contract it. I was like that's pretty
dangerous for someone that's that's come from.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
It's like, you won't get me out of the cafe.
So good.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So how did they get the what do they fly
the contestants over there?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
It's a lot of expats, Yeah, right, so I I
think your twenties and thirties they find them over there.
And then and then obviously, because we want to have
a cross section, you know, of of everyone in this country,
so you get maybe your old cocky farmer from w.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
A or something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It's a holiday to Amsterdam.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It gets on holidays, so it gets flown over because.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
It's so expensive to make a show like that. You know,
they call them the shiny floor shows. I guess those
sets are so expensive. Does everyone do the shame show there?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah, it's like so the US have got a different
set with Rob Roblow. Obviously Rob Rob wants a different
set in Ireland. I think that's because it's a tax
break over there. But every other European country because the
Dutch are actually really prolific of making shows, right and
Mole and John de Moole, they've made a big brother
and every every.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
They came up with Married at First Sight.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And well even Master.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, all those different things that all come from Holland.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
And they've got a studio city probably half an hour
away from the.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Guts of Amsterdam and Amsterdam there.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
So yeah, they just make Telly and so we walked
in and all their floor crew, all their everything, and
like we shot in a week.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Wow. Yeah, we get in there.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
We have one tech day and you know, we walk
through the set and one tech and form you're into it.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
There you go and I'm assuming there'll be a second series.
You're insisting on it.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, we haven't. We haven't been told yet, don't.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It's been such a blockbuster hit, how can it not be.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah, that's true. And you haven't spiraled in Amsterdam. You
didn't end up in a canal or anything like that. No, well,
because it was probably good. That was twenty minutes away, so.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
The producers and they took us around there this this
is strange area where there's these small doors and windows.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It's funny about that. And then they escorted you back
home again very quickly.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
If you go, Roger, well, we're looking forward to seeing
to win the two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Not you our last nine contestants on Monday.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
And you're doing a trivia thing tonight at RAMS game.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Is that true?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
My kids played footy, right, so it's we had it.
We didn't have it last year, but we're having it
this year. And we sold out.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
As we sold the trivia host on the trivia.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
No, he just goes along the living the drinks take
up and bother Roger corsa. Roger, It's so great to
see you. Of course, that's what I wanted to catch up.
That's Roger and I always in the Amsterdam.
