Speaker 1 (00:06):
Lego Masters is back on your TV's. I think we're
about episode three in, so I'm not sure why he's
coming on now, but Hami's Blake joins us here on
Willem Woody.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
That would a good save. We're in episode three in,
so that would be an episode four. Yeah, the guys
standard primo move. You let it get away, then you
come in. You come in to pump up the fourth
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Golf?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Golf really warm up till the fourth. Fourth, and that's fourth.
That's what I've got for that.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It's just okay, tactical then, so it's all right, okay,
we just thought you weren't available for the premiere. But
obviously this is just what they do. We've never promoted
a TV show before, so I've got no idea.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
How amazingly they didn't roll us out for Ninja Warrior.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
They didn't want the guys who were the sideline commentators
promoting Ninja Worry.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, you save save those guys for fourth season.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
We weren't there. We had our hands up.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
The show unfortunately was cut after we got involved. But
for now, for now, well said, But Hamish, I do
want to talk to you about a recent shoot you
did for the for the lovely magazine Stella, and you
put on your Instagram some behind the scenes of you
(01:24):
doing a wheelie on a like and look that the
photo is awesome, it's it's an extraordinary shot.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Of you mid Wheely.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
But you did reveal the video there where you went
a little bit too hard on WHEELI and stacked effectively.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And look, as we say in the trick biking community,
full sand like and if you if you were going
to Wheely when it is a kind of people haven't
seen this sort of what you call it women's women.
So yeah, I was gonna say, like an Amsterdam women.
(02:03):
Yeah you're going to Wickly, one of those with the
big low bar so you can throw it with your
skirts on. If you're really one of those, you go
fullth end.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Yeah, totally. That's the only way it looked.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
As a young father, both Will and I have both
recently had daughters, and we've discussed a little bit on
this show about the fact that we both really want
to be cool dads. This to me looked a lot
like a dad trying to assert himself as cool dad.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
That was that going on?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Does that dictates a very richeria to play in. Does
that like, again, what do you and I have genuinely
me talking about this? I mean what he has taken
it too far. He's got a tattoo on his ankle
that says cool dad, and just an arrow pointing upwards
at him.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
But not cool. But from here up it gets better?
Speaker 7 (02:57):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Kind of? Is it a filter for most of the
things that you do around your kids?
Speaker 8 (03:01):
Now?
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Do you do you realize you're like, oh geez, I
am only doing this so that it's slightly impressive for
my children at any stage.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, until you realize nothing will work, Like you can't
be it, it's just not going to happen. I mean
I sort of think over the over like a twenty
arc of childhood of which I'm only halfway through. Like
my little boy's about sent ten. I actually reckon, and
you better not talking to I'd like to see if
there's still has two and ten years. But here's my theory.
(03:28):
I reckon it probably levels out. Like early days, it's
way more than you deserve, Like your kids think you're
incredible and you don't have to do anything, and it's like,
oh my god, do you guys know my dad, like
he's got twelve years. That's the biggest in the world,
and like any random attribute you just get, like superhero status.
(03:50):
Then it all kind of shifts in preteen, then you're
in hand years and like nothing you do, even if
you're doing cool stuff, it kind of kind of stay out.
And then by the time they're about twenty, they see
so yeah, kind of think I've just come off ten
years of writing.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
This way, so you're on the way, yeah, and then
it takes it kind of takes it until they're thirty
and they're drunk with their friends and they're like, Wow,
my dad actually is really cool, Like I've been doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Actually all right getting old.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Actually it's sympathy, coolness, sympathy.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I'm going to go out with him on his boat.
He's been wanting to take me up for fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Strange that you're doing the publicity for Lego Masters on
the day that Taylor Swift releases a brand new record
which has absolutely fleeced everybody's feed.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Do you think that's true?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You hard to get cut up through. I think there's
room for both of us. I certainly I will never
tell her not to release an albument, and I don't
think she'd tell us to hold back the fourth episode
of Lego Masters. And so we've always had Taylor and
I've always had an understanding, and it is was largely
and unspoken, very much spoken. Just you did nothing out
(05:01):
of talk that we just let each other do our
own thing. And it's cool. It totally works and we're
not petty like that.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
It's good. Almost in a direct attack.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
By the way, she announced, like like I'm gonna say,
twenty minutes before this interview that not only did she
release one album, she just bloody doubled it. She was like,
by the way, there's fifteen more songs coming. So is
there something sitting in your sitting in your gun there
that you can promote about Sunday's episode of Lego.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
We thought she might do that, and then now we
are going to do an episode on Monday night as
well and Tuesday night, and now we're doing three Wow guys,
cool Wow.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Heard it here first.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Sunday on Tuesday. So what you're probably hearing there is
the sound of Pad just jumping in the like running
into the recording studios, slamming the we're in front to
write another fifteen song and if she goes good, but
she's got till Tuesday to release a third album or
we win.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So mate, the show is on versus the world, and
I suppose I really I am mentioned to know, Like,
the last time I saw Australia as the world is
when we had that one day International Cricket game where
it was Australia's the World at the MCG and it
felt like that only happened because we comfortably had the
best team in the world.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Is that the current situation?
Speaker 9 (06:18):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Like, you know, the Lego people of the world looking around,
I'm like, well, Jesus tre has got everyone on toast.
The only way we could possibly compete is if we
threw everybody in the one basket and tried to knock
them off.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Is that the situation here?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I mean, it's it's probably probably pretty accurate. We because
Lego Masters are now in thirty countries around the world,
so it's like this or something like that. Not probably exaggerating,
but again, like let's say tween twenty and two, maybe
twenty six, we are that. But anyway, there's enough. There's
a lot of time thies out there who are doing
essentially like our version of The wagon Masters. So we're on
(06:49):
season six and other countries might be on like season
Store three. So I think it was also a bit
of the feeling of going, Okay, someone's going to do this,
shouldn't it be us? Since we went first, Yeah, the
host Now we've kind of yeah, we've we've we've if
we can start sliphoning off international talent?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Wow, I love that.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
We're just talking business. Now, this is how you make yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
A drag at Excel we can look at some of
the line items for producing it.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Have you bad homage that like the other countries do
go about their lego differently, Like how do the Germans
go about their lego?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I made. It's not a joke. They the Germans have
been the most called. They were the most of both
called off air at the State of Brick Pit. They
were like, oh, this is nice how it is in
Germany German without one to generalize here, because Germans are
like really efficient, right, Like there's actually Germany is the
(07:49):
highest consumer of the capital of lego. Germans love lego.
They're really into it. And because I think it's like
your structure, it's like stematic. Yeah, the lego where you
like dump out a random type of Lego and then
quickly sort it into its colors and it's like different elements.
That's a sport Germany like that's the ship thing that
(08:10):
people do and you time yourself like how fast you
can sort of tell the lego. So when the Germans
came and they saw our brickpit, which to my eyes
is a pretty fastenss guy, I'm like, this is very clean,
the brick bit. Like I didn't even know you could
sort lego before I did. I just thought it was
always just in the same top sea. As part of
playing Lego is just sifting for an hour to find
(08:31):
white wheel. So I always thought the bricks it was great.
But the Germs are like, this is really unorganized, and
they're like you've got all CBS pieces, You've got to
a different elos in together, like the you know, let's
say like the little wedge pieces or you might use
like a plane wing or something, and I'm like, yeah,
that's where they go. Like it's like in Deermany would
(08:52):
have them all separated by color. Well, well, Australia, mate,
we're a little were a little more more sart or
the originally show, so you just don't fall into line
and they actually as fun enough. I'm speaking at the
school yet, but speaking of spreadsheets, this is one of
my favorite moments. Like the very first episode, like like
after the first episode, you know finished, there's obviously we
(09:15):
have a large Lego department on the show. Who are
in charge of like running the brick pit, like you know,
actually the laying down the rules of this challenge because
there's one hundred thousand dollars online gay you give like
a last department be called our art department. So the
outer side of the challenge team, Like after the episode,
we're all kind of packing stuff down and the German
(09:35):
team said to the head of the head of our
challenge about and they're like, can we have a list
of all the lego and is They're like, we give it.
Can we have a list now that we've come we've
seen the brickfit, Do you have a list of all
the lego everything that? Like what do you wander for?
They're like, we just want to know what's in there,
what we can use like give us some ideas and
(09:57):
new challenges. And it's like, yeah, we don't really like
how many of these like Jenn's like, you don't have
a list. He's like, well, we've been doings like they're like,
you know some builds we've like winning builds of like
Conaway and they're like on tour in Brisbane or whatever,
and they're like, you don't know how much lego you have? Well, like, well,
(10:19):
like we could get you a spreadsheet, but it would
be like six years old, be like shit, like you
don't even know. They were like really disappointed more than
a little. So the Germans are serious, Yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Can tell that.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
So it's the Germans, the Danes, the French and the USA.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
And yeah versus the all these now Shane and Diane,
they haven't as for a list. Sane and Diane from
for Our Ozzie Mother and Something. They're a little bit
more shockers, a little bit more rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Love me to hear you gotta go check out Lego
of Masses. It's Traverse the World continues Sunday at seven
o'clock and just announced them the Big Scoop in response
to the talents with double record Monday and Tuesday as well.
Wow Channel nine and nine now in your court. Taylor Hamish.
Great to hear from him, mate, have a great Friday,
(11:13):
le we take our life alrighty, take over the radio
of Friday Woods, because at the end of the day,
I mean it might seem like we're in charge here,
but we're simply not.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
There's a bunch of producers.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yes, they run the show where puppets, and we don't
get to choose anything that we talk about.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Ye, Captain, he's the main leader.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
He's the one who makes the final decision as to
what goes in the show. We've pitched so many ideas
that we think are absolute gold, so many of them
end up on the cutting room floor. So, as you
said on Friday, we get the chances to do it
we bloody want.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
But thank god, first we just the nation side absolutely together,
thank god absolutely.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Now do you want to hear my idea first? That's
been rejected four times this while?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Has it a yeah? Fire away?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah? Okay, great?
Speaker 6 (11:59):
So Base, I was overhearing a conversation that producer analyst
was having and she basically said.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Oh, gee wiz Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift loves her own brand,
and obviously my interests peaked.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
I was like, buddy, hell, how's this got out? And
I was like, what do you mean she loves her
own brand? Like, how have you found that out? And
she goes, Oh, she's dancing to her own music at
that big festival that's on the road.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yeah, she's dancing.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
And I was like, oh, you mean she likes her
own music. I thought you meant she likes the smell
of her own farts.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Oh, everyone loves her own brand.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Yes, So my thing was thirteen one oh sixty five.
Is there anyone out there who doesn't love their own brand?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Nice?
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I thought it was just a hot bit.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Can you can you just explain your own brand? Like
why do you love it so much?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Even both both very good woods.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
They rejected four times.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Four times.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
You pitched it for doing it, you pitch. I still
love underlined and highlighters. She forgot it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So the other one, so the one I had, which
has been rejected twice this week, It has been rejected
twice this week. There was a woman in the US
who was was arrested for possession of crystal meth right ice. Anyway,
they got it into the police station and got to
do the monk shot and everything got to tell her name.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Her name was Crystal Methvin.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
No it wasn't. No, it wasn't. That's the best thing
I've ever heard. First name Crystal, second name meth.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
That's unbelievableion of Crystal meth is unbelievable. Anyway, So the
topic I had, which I think is extraordinary, Yes, well
exactly did your name give you no choice? So, like,
you know, you're born as Crystal methan at some stage,
I'm sure you're going to have to have some sort
of relationship with Crystal meth in your life. You don't
stand a chance there. So from you wouldn't say that,
(13:47):
I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that. The drug
ones the point absolutely, But the point is, did you
get a name and because of your name, you're like, well,
I've got to do that thing. I've got to become
that thing. Like if your name is sky a jump,
you know what.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Are you doing there? Well, surely isn't that what they
call it? So high jump? Yeah, so your first name
is high.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Yeah, sky diving is what I meant to go.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yeah, yeah, example, sky High. Obviously you didn't like being
in the sky High.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Let's sister Crystal methfins.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Let's go to Captain Poop fans because again we take control.
But POOI, what's the idea of those two that you
most want to hear?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Jump?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Look, none of them really.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Made both good?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
The fart one.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yes, it's not great. Okay, jeez, I thought I was
lit into a compliment.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Now I'm I'm in a tough situation because I know
that what you're trying to do, you're trying to double
buff me to get the idea that you actually want
to do.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
So I'm screwed ear the way here.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I'm going to go with Crystal methven. So I just
want to hear you one more time. Which one are
you going for? I'm going to go for Crystal Methvin okay,
and I'm happy to go for that one. You have it,
go for Crystal method.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Yeah, I know what he's trying to do here. He's
chosen that because he doesn't want.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
That, do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
But he could be double bluffing us. Well, you know,
we're we're in charge here. Yes, doesn't do him?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
What do you want?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
What do you want to do?
Speaker 5 (15:13):
I don't care man, both of them?
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Okay, yeah, I do.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Like both of them. Let's let's do Crystal. Let's okay,
so let's do Crystal.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
So because of your name, does that just mean you
had to go into something?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
You're born to do something? Did your name leave you
no choice? So, if your name was Dwayne Pipe, for example, obviously.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You're becoming a plumber. Thirteen one O six five is
the phone number? Did your name give you no choice?
So basically, just to give you a more context, there's
a woman who was arrested for possession of crystal meth
in the US.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Naughty, naughty, awful thing.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Don't condone it, absolutely not just no, but.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Her name, her name, her name, I think it's obviously
as well her name. She was arrested for possession of
crystal meth and her name is Crystal Meth Vinn.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
We love that part of it, and we think.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
That's very funny because it's almost as if her name
wrote the script for her life.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Zach, which is what we're asking right now.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Have you got a name where you were just destined
to do that thing because of your name?
Speaker 6 (16:15):
I can see your name caller one and I'm intrigued
to see with this goes April High. Hi, what so,
how do you want to do this? You want to
say your full name and then tell us what you
ended up doing.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Tell us that what you ended up doing.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Then nice.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
I think I probably have to do it the other
way around for it to make sense.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
All right, okay, you do you So my name is.
Speaker 9 (16:36):
April, my middle name is June. So I don't know
why my parents decided to do that to me, but
it came with a lot of teasing in school and
probably still in my adult leeds adult years. So you
know where's may? May is missing? So basically I named
my daughter Hayley, but her middle name is May, so
she is the missing puss.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
That's so. That's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I had to Yeah, great, good on. You passed yourself
through under your children. That's what we can down here.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
You've got to keep going though, don't you what so
the sun with July in the middle name, and then
do you keep who gives?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Keep telling me about who else gets named after a month?
Wouldn't you have to do what within you?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Well?
Speaker 5 (17:19):
You brought it back now.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Six five?
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Dana?
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Did your name write the script for your life?
Speaker 11 (17:27):
It's not me directly, but my my marriage or married
name sorry is Farmer and my father in law used
to live in the country and when he used to
go to all the trade stores around the area. They
used to ask him is he a farmer so he
(17:49):
could get trade discount and he actually used to turn
around and say, well, yes I am, I am by name.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Wow loophole and it worked.
Speaker 11 (17:59):
But he was a manager of a retail store, so
nothing to do with a farmer at all.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Unreal, not exactly what we're after, but but pretty good loophole.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Great loophole, Jeff, the same.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Thing the former Melbourn football It's more for.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Absolute super start the Wizard.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I'm sure the Wizard wasn't trading in getting discounts because
he had a rural surname.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I don't know he was the Wizard.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
He might have found that loophole himself.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
All right, here we go.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Did your name write the script for your life?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I mean to be honest, this has been very disappointing
and probably the reason why it hasn't been chosen for
the radio show What's that? But here we go the net?
Can she bring it home for the success of does
your name write the script to your life? Let's start
with your story. Then you can tell us your name.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
And it all right, this isn't me, this is a
friend of mine. Okay, and you know after you really
want the story.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Story, Okay, story.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I don't know if it works that way. Okay, So
divorced out clubbing, introducing yourselves. And her name is Candice Bush,
which of course she's known as Candy, so her name
is Candy Bush. So every time we went out, you know,
we have to introduce ourselves. Now you might say, what
career is this person going to do in her path? Well,
(19:22):
of course she can't become a stripper.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
With a name like that.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
So in our forties we decided to take up poles
Auntie and had a wonderful time with my dear friend
Candy Bush.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Tortured Poets Departments out.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Yes, And to celebrate it, Will, we're going to play
a little game with my old man Steve. He's been
along the journey for this whole thing with Taylor Swift.
When she announced that she was doing an album called
the Tortured Poets Department, my dad, who is a poet
by the way, Will came into this radio studio and
(20:03):
he actually wrote and read a palm about Taylor Swift
while getting tortured.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
She has long blonde hair and strums of guitar. Her
singing voice is voted the best by far. Traveling miles
would be.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
One trip it you can direct if you grab this
show's success with the amount of spare time your dad has,
they would be directly correlated.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
He is very responsible for the numbers going up, and
he knows that, and he's starting to think he needs
to be paid.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
He joins us on the phone right now, Hello Dad.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Welcome back, Steve.
Speaker 12 (20:37):
Hello boys.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Gad to hear your voice.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Although I got your message this afternoon, you loved the
last podcast, Thank you?
Speaker 12 (20:42):
I did, I did, I loved it.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Are you still starting to think that you should be
paid for your appearances?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
By the way, Dad, I don't just think it, I
know it.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Oh yeah right, okay, but this one's still on the house, right.
Speaker 12 (20:56):
Yeah, this is on my house.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
That's good, very good of you.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
The invoice. We'll think about it one okay. By the way,
like just for a phone call, you.
Speaker 12 (21:07):
Wouldn't be able to afford it. Well, there's a nice
one saying it.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
He said he was going to talk to Nova. He
actually did. He said that to me, He said, never
might be interested.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Anyway.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
The game we're playing today is Dad has brought out
a very very successful poetry.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Book called Thoughts to Words. It's a collaboration of all
of his best poems and then obviously.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
My favorite title of any book, by the way, Thoughts
to Words unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
His name on the tin is and Taylor Swift has
brought at her her album. So basically Dad is going
to be reading out either lyrics from Taylor Swift's new
album or a line from one of his poems. And
will you have to guess which one he is reading?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh wow, okay, well, I mean certainly a high value
you're putting on your poetry, Steve.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
If you if you're putting it up there with the
lyrical you, yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
You've got that right, well too, genuine wordsmith. Just two
noble laureate's going at it?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Okay, all right, great, Well what do you think about
the song with the title of her record, though Steve,
I mean, yours is called Thoughts to Words.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Hers is called Tortured Poets Department.
Speaker 12 (22:18):
Do you think she's a I think I don't want
to be bastful, but I think mine's much better.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
All right, read the first line, Dad.
Speaker 12 (22:32):
Okay, all right, Hurricane with my name when it came
I got drunk and I dared for it to wash
me away.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I think that stinks of Swift. If I'm being honest,
I think it's got swift to it and all over it.
Speaker 12 (22:48):
Am I meant to give the answer.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
The music, the musical, right, Taylor?
Speaker 6 (22:55):
So that was Taylor Taylor from a new song Florida,
which is on the new album. Okay, Okay, you've got
one world done, Dad, go on to the next line.
Speaker 12 (23:03):
Okay, strumming a guitar and journeys afar glasses and jeans
and crazy dreams, charming the girls with our gentle with
his gentle voice.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
What do you think, Well, given that you've given away
that it was a man, I feel like it might
have been new in that.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
One amazing.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
With his gentle ours.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Didn't clear out the pronouns before you did the blind reading.
That was good poetry, though I was going to say,
I did really like that poetry. That was a hot line, Steve, Okay,
do we The pronoun was the only thing oi the way.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
That was swift.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
That was either Swift or Bob Dylan or Mary Oliver.
As far as I was concerned, that was genius.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
I know who Mary Oliver is, but Dad, do you
have another.
Speaker 12 (23:49):
Line there burning in your bus? We kissed and held hands.
Perhaps it will take you to that promised land.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
That's all I get. Okay, So can I reveal something here?
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So Steve, you know I've read Thoughts to Words back
to front. I've got you know, like I don't remember
the words, but I do know your style, and you
your style.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
You've paged to the rhyming couplet.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
So you know people who write rhymes, it's often you know,
a B A B or a B B A or
whatever it is.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
You're just an AA guy all the way down. He
knows what he's good and he nails that.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
And you do.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
You do it better than anyone. That for me was
a rhyming couplet. I think you rhymed hand and land.
Speaker 12 (24:37):
Correct.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Yeah, yeah, I feel like that might have been you.
It was dad promotion for my book guys and six
five is the number. If you do want a copy
of what.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You're going to say, tell us you want a copy
of AD's poetry book to Words, give us on our
thirteen one oh six five.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
There are still four hundred copies under my desk.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I'd look you, I mean you guys.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Knowing to listen of commercial radio, the general rule is
get out on the laugh. So a lot of the
time we end up having these wonderful conversations and wonderful
laugh moments with you guys, because you're very much the
best part of the show.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
We have a great laugh and then we move you on,
and it.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Means that we don't get to ask any follow up questions.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
We're going back, let's go back in time, going.
Speaker 12 (25:31):
Back in time.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
It's not Are you telling me that you a time machine?
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Yes, every Friday we get to to a follow up question.
Asked us a couple more things about the story that
we didn't quite get to hear from now will this time? Well,
you brought a study to the radio show about the
fact that, on average, yea, Ecuadorian men have the largest appendages.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yay, Brendan, You're not Ecuadorian, but your brother in law is.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Did you hear what the study was about.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
I did hear something about it, I telly, bananas are
the best of the world.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Yes, bananas. The study was people.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Of Cambodia have the smallest erect penis of any country
in the world, coming in at four inches ten centimeters
and the males have. The males in Ecuador have the
largest erect penises in the world, coming in at seven
inches seventeen zero point six centimeters.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
How's that's unfortunate because they are bananas are known things somewhat.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Larger, big bananas.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
Well, cambody and bananas.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
That got uncomfortable? Didn't it super awkward? Well got awkward?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I mean I just can't tell what happened there because
I feel like we hid in between the eyes with
the facts and it was almost like subconsciously he was like, oh,
my sister's married to an Ecuadorian. Now I'm thinking about it. Deflect, deflect,
Let's go back to Ecuadorian bananas. But I don't know,
but but or was the Ecuadorian banana just the perfect
(27:07):
euphimism for the Ecuadorian penis?
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Like do you think he was playing along?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I mean, we both hung up this phone call and
we were like, I feel that we had a very beautiful,
awkward moment when he you know, did he realize that
his sister's sleeping with the largest penis in the world
or or.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Was he just talking about bananas? I think we have
to follow him up.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
I couldn't agree more so we are going to call
Brendan right up next.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
And I mean the question for me is I mean
I want to get I mean, okay, I think first
step with this Friday follow up is we call Brendan.
We go did you did you realize that we were
talking bananas or chop? And then after that we go,
are you willing to call your the.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Brother in law? Surely call the brother in law and
it's confirmed.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Oh so you want to call I think this is
just too much.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Well, see, well would you call your sister?
Speaker 5 (27:56):
No, absolutely not. You just wouldn't, absolutely not, wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
So I think we'll get him to call his Ecuadorian
brother in law and just check there. If you will, we.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Could get him on the line, get the brother in
the law on I mean, get the parents on bit
of doctor Phil, yet get the whole family.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
I will see who we can get from the family.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Last time he started going on about bananas. He started
banging on about the Ecuadorian bananas. And we're just not
sure whether was he shirking the question or was it
a euphemism. Did he understand what we were going for.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
We've got him here, Brendan, You're there, Brendan, are you there.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Oh, yeah, I am here.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
How are you feeling about the information that we shared
with you earlier this week?
Speaker 8 (28:32):
Brendan, Well, it's not It's not often I get anything.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
For the week, so.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
That's not so much the bananas.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Well, I'm using his I'm using his story really to
gain personal gains. I should disclose that.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
You do know what his story is, Brendan, Right, you
know what we're getting at.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
Yeah, Well, a young Ecuadorian man came to this count
who married a young.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Yes in your sister. Yes, that's your story.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
But you can you can you tell us back what
we told you earlier this week, though, Brendan.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
We were talking about is it Cambodia had had the record.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Gambodia had the record for the lowest or the least
or the smallest, and Ecuador had the record for the largest,
and we're talking you know what we're talking about.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
Though, Yeah, I don't have that kind of relationship where
I can actually ask that question, but I'm assuming, Well,
there's five kids came from it, so it.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Okay, because we thought you were deflecting, but you clearly know.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Okay, great, all right, yeah exactly, So you've just said it.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
There you maybe don't have that relationship with your brother
in law to tell him about the fact that he's
got the largest on average. But we do have your sister, Melanie,
who is married to your brother in law.
Speaker 8 (29:47):
Obviously we can probably tell you more about that one
than I ever could.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Okay, well, we've got her here, Melanie, you there.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Yes, I'm here.
Speaker 11 (29:57):
Yeah, Hi, Brendan.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
He learned something this week about your husband. He'd love
to share it with you.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
Oh okay, Well, Ecuador's known for its export of bananas
and best quality bananas. Well yeah, yeah, yeah, and I
wonder if it can be translated as something else you
know that they're also known for. But you could probably
fill them in on the story. I mentioned how you've
(30:23):
had successfully quite a few kids.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
So well, it wasn't Jack.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
When it's occurred. I don't know if that wasn't the
selling point. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Hey, you no, mel We we wanted to get to
the bottom of something. The other day we were talking
about a study which had been done, okay, which which
recorded Cambodians is having the smallest doodle size in the world,
and Ecuadorians were considered as the largest. Uh yeah, And
(31:00):
we basically just ask people to call if they were EQUADORI,
and we didn't get anyone, and.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Then Brendan called up and said, my sister's married to
an Ecuadorian.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
Right, yes, I must admit, what what job?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
My what joke?
Speaker 8 (31:13):
My memory was probably the story they were talking about,
and I immediately thought an email. I thought, well, there's
anyone that can add to this, you know, it might
be you. I don't know.
Speaker 13 (31:22):
I don't think it'd be right if I commented on
am I on light radio. Yeah, I really can't have
a comment.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
I'm really sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Fair enough, fair enough, Rey, No, we weren't. We weren't
after a corroboration. I just wanted to hear your brother
say that to you, Whilch. You weirdly willingly did, which
is awesome. So thank you very much for that.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
What you're basically confirmed that Ecuador is known for its
best quality and largest bananas, and the same thing be
said for the other You've done well.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
I think you need to put comfortable in this space, Brendon.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Britt Hockley, who's fresh out of the office, left jungle.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
Before we get started. I'll take a copy of Steve's
poetry books.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
I'll send it direct to Africa, a little bit of
light reading on the plane home.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Brit it would have been nice to hav him in jungle,
I tell you that.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Oh no, britt let's talk about time in the jungle.
I know you've done a few interviews today which we've
we've heard a bit about, and one of the things
that sort of stuck out to me was that you
were saying that you felt as if you did a
lot of question asking rather than having people ask you questions.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Yeah. I really did. And I didn't really notice it
until the end. Well, actually I noticed it at one point,
probably three weeks in, when a sky was on a
trial and they asked her like a trivia question, and
it was what's Brittney's podcast?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Ask called?
Speaker 7 (33:00):
And she didn't know, and I was like, oh, my job,
like the top level, top level intro, you know. And
then I was like, oh, I just I was like,
I get it. I just feel like I've been asking
all the questions. I just went into mode without meaning.
She was like, you know what it's like when you're
me to interview people. I just automatically, I'm so curious
(33:21):
and I just want to know everything about everyone. And
then I realized I probably hadn't told anyone anything about me.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
So did anyone in the jungle know who you were?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Or you just the lovely chick that was just in there,
just doing interviews in and around the bea.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
No, so Sky, I mean everyone knew yeah, and Sky
knew me. She knew me before I came in, but
she just I guess it wasn't a question that came
up the po She knew I was a podcaster, but
she didn't get the name of it. And I was like, oh, okay,
that's pretty top line.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
So this is bad.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Good if there was another good question her in there,
like what's if you could question yourself? Actually, that's a
good way to say, what's the question you wanted someone
to ask you?
Speaker 7 (33:58):
Yes, Oh, I don't know, maybe sex positions or you
know that's real, real popline stuff, you know, the self
the conversation startup. No, I mean, do you know who
was there? Was? Probably I reckon. There were two people
in there who genuinely like to give you a chuckle,
didn't you want to know the answer? Two people that
(34:21):
genuinely asked you know, I felt like took some time
to get to know me. It was probably believe it
or not, Pete Decros, he actually sat down with me. Yeah,
and he really wanted to know about people I've interviewed
and like my what I'm doing and how I do it?
And you know, we talked for a really long time
of that in depth about a lot of stuff.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Do you know what, like what he was famous for,
like what his position was.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
Yeah, I never seen I've never watching again in my life.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
When you say position.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
Everyone said that he was like this big legend in
but I've never an AFL. I've never watched it. But
I learnt a lot from him, and he literally taught
me how to play AFL. Like imagine being taught AFL
from a great leg piece.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
Oh extraor unbelievable experience. Yeah, unbelievable. Dane Britt, how's your
last like ten hours been?
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Has been?
Speaker 6 (35:17):
Has been your boyfriend flown over to South Africa? Or
is there going to be like a moment where you
guys visit together?
Speaker 7 (35:24):
Now Celtic wouldn't give him any time off? Which long
and behold not shocked. You know, I don't think it
would land going to a football club saying can I
take someone off to be on a reality show?
Speaker 9 (35:34):
The work.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
I don't know my mom flew away, but my mom here.
I was going to go do a safari. I haven't slept.
I've slept about twenty minutes. Do you know what the
crazy thing is? I don't know if this happened to
you when you came off, would it? But I got
in this comfy bed last night and I couldn't sleep,
and I almost missed the camp bet. I was like,
this is weird. I'm wishing it.
Speaker 6 (35:59):
I couldn't sleep, and also I couldn't handle the silence
in this really weird way, because when you're sleeping in
the jungle it's very noisy. You can hear all the
animals and all the sands, and been in a quiet
room was actually really jarring.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Really Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:12):
There was also the fact that I had a big
map and finishitty carbonara and then I was strong toilet
the hall night, so there was that too.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
Yeah, the refeedings are real.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
What's been the apart from the food, what's been the
hardest reacclimatization. I know what he was saying, Like, you know,
he really struggled even like looking at his phone, because
it was so overwhelming. Since you've since you've been out,
which obviously hasn't been long, and people that are just
joining us now Brittany's calling us from Africa's the lay
is where you kind of get.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Spat out and you just expected to go on with
your life. What are you? What are you finding?
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Is the hardest.
Speaker 7 (36:52):
I actually only went on Instagram for the first time
like half an hour ago because I didn't even want
to face it. I had thirteen thousand, five hundred emails
and nine hundred and ninety eight what's that messages alone?
So overwhelm on the phone. I almost want to throw
my phone into an African river. And then again, yeah, yeah,
(37:14):
it's like I don't even know where to start, so
I probably just won't start.
Speaker 5 (37:18):
Yeah, I still have unread stuff from Yeah you too
hard to catch up?
Speaker 1 (37:23):
You were saying that, Yeah, so how are you? Because obviously,
brit you obviously you know you do it. You are
an influencer. You do you so much online? How are
you going to go? Is that something that you want
to get back into or is the time away from
it sort of like giving you a new sense of
clarity around it?
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Well, it's funny, are you saying an influencer? Because I
would never say that, Like, I guess I spent a
lot of time on you know, podcasting like content and
radio and then sporadically I do some some jobs for But.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
You've got hundreds and thousands of followers, like you're a
very popular person online, Like it's a it's a part
of your life, is it? Is it something that you're
looking at there, I'm like, that's going to be hard
to get going again, or you're now feeling kind of
comfortable to it's been a bit of time away from No,
I haven't.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
Even I haven't put a story uph it, haven't done anything.
I've just pretended. I'm just not in there, and I'm
I'm sure i'll ease back into it. So I have
loved I don't know about you, but I loved not
having my phone.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
It was the well, it sounds like you've got your
first post lined up anyway, just a story poof from
last night.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (38:38):
It's so bloody. It was bloody hard. It wasn't it
brit it.
Speaker 7 (38:42):
Was and what he had told me, right, it's like
BRIT's hard, Like it's genuinely hard. And I was like, yeah, yeah,
it's so hard. And you don't know until you know,
like you just have to be in there. There's no
preparation you could possibly do. I was always starving, You're
always bored, You're always you never have energy because you're
not fair. But then you have to have any Using

about episode three in, so I'm not sure why he's
coming on now, but Hami's Blake joins us here on
Willem Woody.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
That would a good save. We're in episode three in,
so that would be an episode four. Yeah, the guys
standard primo move. You let it get away, then you
come in. You come in to pump up the fourth
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Golf?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Golf really warm up till the fourth. Fourth, and that's fourth.
That's what I've got for that.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It's just okay, tactical then, so it's all right, okay,
we just thought you weren't available for the premiere. But
obviously this is just what they do. We've never promoted
a TV show before, so I've got no idea.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
How amazingly they didn't roll us out for Ninja Warrior.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
They didn't want the guys who were the sideline commentators
promoting Ninja Worry.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, you save save those guys for fourth season.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
We weren't there. We had our hands up.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
The show unfortunately was cut after we got involved. But
for now, for now, well said, But Hamish, I do
want to talk to you about a recent shoot you
did for the for the lovely magazine Stella, and you
put on your Instagram some behind the scenes of you
(01:24):
doing a wheelie on a like and look that the
photo is awesome, it's it's an extraordinary shot.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Of you mid Wheely.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
But you did reveal the video there where you went
a little bit too hard on WHEELI and stacked effectively.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And look, as we say in the trick biking community,
full sand like and if you if you were going
to Wheely when it is a kind of people haven't
seen this sort of what you call it women's women.
So yeah, I was gonna say, like an Amsterdam women.
(02:03):
Yeah you're going to Wickly, one of those with the
big low bar so you can throw it with your
skirts on. If you're really one of those, you go
fullth end.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Yeah, totally. That's the only way it looked.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
As a young father, both Will and I have both
recently had daughters, and we've discussed a little bit on
this show about the fact that we both really want
to be cool dads. This to me looked a lot
like a dad trying to assert himself as cool dad.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
That was that going on?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Does that dictates a very richeria to play in. Does
that like, again, what do you and I have genuinely
me talking about this? I mean what he has taken
it too far. He's got a tattoo on his ankle
that says cool dad, and just an arrow pointing upwards
at him.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
But not cool. But from here up it gets better?
Speaker 7 (02:57):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Kind of? Is it a filter for most of the
things that you do around your kids?
Speaker 8 (03:01):
Now?
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Do you do you realize you're like, oh geez, I
am only doing this so that it's slightly impressive for
my children at any stage.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, until you realize nothing will work, Like you can't
be it, it's just not going to happen. I mean
I sort of think over the over like a twenty
arc of childhood of which I'm only halfway through. Like
my little boy's about sent ten. I actually reckon, and
you better not talking to I'd like to see if
there's still has two and ten years. But here's my theory.
(03:28):
I reckon it probably levels out. Like early days, it's
way more than you deserve, Like your kids think you're
incredible and you don't have to do anything, and it's like,
oh my god, do you guys know my dad, like
he's got twelve years. That's the biggest in the world,
and like any random attribute you just get, like superhero status.
(03:50):
Then it all kind of shifts in preteen, then you're
in hand years and like nothing you do, even if
you're doing cool stuff, it kind of kind of stay out.
And then by the time they're about twenty, they see
so yeah, kind of think I've just come off ten
years of writing.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
This way, so you're on the way, yeah, and then
it takes it kind of takes it until they're thirty
and they're drunk with their friends and they're like, Wow,
my dad actually is really cool, Like I've been doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Actually all right getting old.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Actually it's sympathy, coolness, sympathy.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I'm going to go out with him on his boat.
He's been wanting to take me up for fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Strange that you're doing the publicity for Lego Masters on
the day that Taylor Swift releases a brand new record
which has absolutely fleeced everybody's feed.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Do you think that's true?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You hard to get cut up through. I think there's
room for both of us. I certainly I will never
tell her not to release an albument, and I don't
think she'd tell us to hold back the fourth episode
of Lego Masters. And so we've always had Taylor and
I've always had an understanding, and it is was largely
and unspoken, very much spoken. Just you did nothing out
(05:01):
of talk that we just let each other do our
own thing. And it's cool. It totally works and we're
not petty like that.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
It's good. Almost in a direct attack.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
By the way, she announced, like like I'm gonna say,
twenty minutes before this interview that not only did she
release one album, she just bloody doubled it. She was like,
by the way, there's fifteen more songs coming. So is
there something sitting in your sitting in your gun there
that you can promote about Sunday's episode of Lego.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
We thought she might do that, and then now we
are going to do an episode on Monday night as
well and Tuesday night, and now we're doing three Wow guys,
cool Wow.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Heard it here first.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Sunday on Tuesday. So what you're probably hearing there is
the sound of Pad just jumping in the like running
into the recording studios, slamming the we're in front to
write another fifteen song and if she goes good, but
she's got till Tuesday to release a third album or
we win.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So mate, the show is on versus the world, and
I suppose I really I am mentioned to know, Like,
the last time I saw Australia as the world is
when we had that one day International Cricket game where
it was Australia's the World at the MCG and it
felt like that only happened because we comfortably had the
best team in the world.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Is that the current situation?
Speaker 9 (06:18):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Like, you know, the Lego people of the world looking around,
I'm like, well, Jesus tre has got everyone on toast.
The only way we could possibly compete is if we
threw everybody in the one basket and tried to knock
them off.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Is that the situation here?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I mean, it's it's probably probably pretty accurate. We because
Lego Masters are now in thirty countries around the world,
so it's like this or something like that. Not probably exaggerating,
but again, like let's say tween twenty and two, maybe
twenty six, we are that. But anyway, there's enough. There's
a lot of time thies out there who are doing
essentially like our version of The wagon Masters. So we're on
(06:49):
season six and other countries might be on like season
Store three. So I think it was also a bit
of the feeling of going, Okay, someone's going to do this,
shouldn't it be us? Since we went first, Yeah, the
host Now we've kind of yeah, we've we've we've if
we can start sliphoning off international talent?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Wow, I love that.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
We're just talking business. Now, this is how you make yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
A drag at Excel we can look at some of
the line items for producing it.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Have you bad homage that like the other countries do
go about their lego differently, Like how do the Germans
go about their lego?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I made. It's not a joke. They the Germans have
been the most called. They were the most of both
called off air at the State of Brick Pit. They
were like, oh, this is nice how it is in
Germany German without one to generalize here, because Germans are
like really efficient, right, Like there's actually Germany is the
(07:49):
highest consumer of the capital of lego. Germans love lego.
They're really into it. And because I think it's like
your structure, it's like stematic. Yeah, the lego where you
like dump out a random type of Lego and then
quickly sort it into its colors and it's like different elements.
That's a sport Germany like that's the ship thing that
(08:10):
people do and you time yourself like how fast you
can sort of tell the lego. So when the Germans
came and they saw our brickpit, which to my eyes
is a pretty fastenss guy, I'm like, this is very clean,
the brick bit. Like I didn't even know you could
sort lego before I did. I just thought it was
always just in the same top sea. As part of
playing Lego is just sifting for an hour to find
(08:31):
white wheel. So I always thought the bricks it was great.
But the Germs are like, this is really unorganized, and
they're like you've got all CBS pieces, You've got to
a different elos in together, like the you know, let's
say like the little wedge pieces or you might use
like a plane wing or something, and I'm like, yeah,
that's where they go. Like it's like in Deermany would
(08:52):
have them all separated by color. Well, well, Australia, mate,
we're a little were a little more more sart or
the originally show, so you just don't fall into line
and they actually as fun enough. I'm speaking at the
school yet, but speaking of spreadsheets, this is one of
my favorite moments. Like the very first episode, like like
after the first episode, you know finished, there's obviously we
(09:15):
have a large Lego department on the show. Who are
in charge of like running the brick pit, like you know,
actually the laying down the rules of this challenge because
there's one hundred thousand dollars online gay you give like
a last department be called our art department. So the
outer side of the challenge team, Like after the episode,
we're all kind of packing stuff down and the German
(09:35):
team said to the head of the head of our
challenge about and they're like, can we have a list
of all the lego and is They're like, we give it.
Can we have a list now that we've come we've
seen the brickfit, Do you have a list of all
the lego everything that? Like what do you wander for?
They're like, we just want to know what's in there,
what we can use like give us some ideas and
(09:57):
new challenges. And it's like, yeah, we don't really like
how many of these like Jenn's like, you don't have
a list. He's like, well, we've been doings like they're like,
you know some builds we've like winning builds of like
Conaway and they're like on tour in Brisbane or whatever,
and they're like, you don't know how much lego you have? Well, like, well,
(10:19):
like we could get you a spreadsheet, but it would
be like six years old, be like shit, like you
don't even know. They were like really disappointed more than
a little. So the Germans are serious, Yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Can tell that.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
So it's the Germans, the Danes, the French and the USA.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
And yeah versus the all these now Shane and Diane,
they haven't as for a list. Sane and Diane from
for Our Ozzie Mother and Something. They're a little bit
more shockers, a little bit more rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Love me to hear you gotta go check out Lego
of Masses. It's Traverse the World continues Sunday at seven
o'clock and just announced them the Big Scoop in response
to the talents with double record Monday and Tuesday as well.
Wow Channel nine and nine now in your court. Taylor Hamish.
Great to hear from him, mate, have a great Friday,
(11:13):
le we take our life alrighty, take over the radio
of Friday Woods, because at the end of the day,
I mean it might seem like we're in charge here,
but we're simply not.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
There's a bunch of producers.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yes, they run the show where puppets, and we don't
get to choose anything that we talk about.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Ye, Captain, he's the main leader.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
He's the one who makes the final decision as to
what goes in the show. We've pitched so many ideas
that we think are absolute gold, so many of them
end up on the cutting room floor. So, as you
said on Friday, we get the chances to do it
we bloody want.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
But thank god, first we just the nation side absolutely together,
thank god absolutely.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Now do you want to hear my idea first? That's
been rejected four times this while?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Has it a yeah? Fire away?
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah? Okay, great?
Speaker 6 (11:59):
So Base, I was overhearing a conversation that producer analyst
was having and she basically said.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Oh, gee wiz Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift loves her own brand,
and obviously my interests peaked.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
I was like, buddy, hell, how's this got out? And
I was like, what do you mean she loves her
own brand? Like, how have you found that out? And
she goes, Oh, she's dancing to her own music at
that big festival that's on the road.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yeah, she's dancing.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
And I was like, oh, you mean she likes her
own music. I thought you meant she likes the smell
of her own farts.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Oh, everyone loves her own brand.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Yes, So my thing was thirteen one oh sixty five.
Is there anyone out there who doesn't love their own brand?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Nice?
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I thought it was just a hot bit.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Can you can you just explain your own brand? Like
why do you love it so much?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Even both both very good woods.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
They rejected four times.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Four times.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
You pitched it for doing it, you pitch. I still
love underlined and highlighters. She forgot it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So the other one, so the one I had, which
has been rejected twice this week, It has been rejected
twice this week. There was a woman in the US
who was was arrested for possession of crystal meth right ice. Anyway,
they got it into the police station and got to
do the monk shot and everything got to tell her name.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Her name was Crystal Methvin.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
No it wasn't. No, it wasn't. That's the best thing
I've ever heard. First name Crystal, second name meth.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
That's unbelievableion of Crystal meth is unbelievable. Anyway, So the
topic I had, which I think is extraordinary, Yes, well
exactly did your name give you no choice? So, like,
you know, you're born as Crystal methan at some stage,
I'm sure you're going to have to have some sort
of relationship with Crystal meth in your life. You don't
stand a chance there. So from you wouldn't say that,
(13:47):
I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that. The drug
ones the point absolutely, But the point is, did you
get a name and because of your name, you're like, well,
I've got to do that thing. I've got to become
that thing. Like if your name is sky a jump,
you know what.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Are you doing there? Well, surely isn't that what they
call it? So high jump? Yeah, so your first name
is high.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Yeah, sky diving is what I meant to go.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yeah, yeah, example, sky High. Obviously you didn't like being
in the sky High.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Let's sister Crystal methfins.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Let's go to Captain Poop fans because again we take control.
But POOI, what's the idea of those two that you
most want to hear?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Jump?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Look, none of them really.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Made both good?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
The fart one.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yes, it's not great. Okay, jeez, I thought I was
lit into a compliment.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Now I'm I'm in a tough situation because I know
that what you're trying to do, you're trying to double
buff me to get the idea that you actually want
to do.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
So I'm screwed ear the way here.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I'm going to go with Crystal methven. So I just
want to hear you one more time. Which one are
you going for? I'm going to go for Crystal Methvin okay,
and I'm happy to go for that one. You have it,
go for Crystal method.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Yeah, I know what he's trying to do here. He's
chosen that because he doesn't want.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
That, do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
But he could be double bluffing us. Well, you know,
we're we're in charge here. Yes, doesn't do him?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
What do you want?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
What do you want to do?
Speaker 5 (15:13):
I don't care man, both of them?
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Okay, yeah, I do.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Like both of them. Let's let's do Crystal. Let's okay,
so let's do Crystal.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
So because of your name, does that just mean you
had to go into something?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
You're born to do something? Did your name leave you
no choice? So, if your name was Dwayne Pipe, for example, obviously.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You're becoming a plumber. Thirteen one O six five is
the phone number? Did your name give you no choice?
So basically, just to give you a more context, there's
a woman who was arrested for possession of crystal meth
in the US.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Naughty, naughty, awful thing.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Don't condone it, absolutely not just no, but.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Her name, her name, her name, I think it's obviously
as well her name. She was arrested for possession of
crystal meth and her name is Crystal Meth Vinn.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
We love that part of it, and we think.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
That's very funny because it's almost as if her name
wrote the script for her life.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Zach, which is what we're asking right now.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Have you got a name where you were just destined
to do that thing because of your name?
Speaker 6 (16:15):
I can see your name caller one and I'm intrigued
to see with this goes April High. Hi, what so,
how do you want to do this? You want to
say your full name and then tell us what you
ended up doing.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Tell us that what you ended up doing.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Then nice.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
I think I probably have to do it the other
way around for it to make sense.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
All right, okay, you do you So my name is.
Speaker 9 (16:36):
April, my middle name is June. So I don't know
why my parents decided to do that to me, but
it came with a lot of teasing in school and
probably still in my adult leeds adult years. So you
know where's may? May is missing? So basically I named
my daughter Hayley, but her middle name is May, so
she is the missing puss.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
That's so. That's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I had to Yeah, great, good on. You passed yourself
through under your children. That's what we can down here.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
You've got to keep going though, don't you what so
the sun with July in the middle name, and then
do you keep who gives?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Keep telling me about who else gets named after a month?
Wouldn't you have to do what within you?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Well?
Speaker 5 (17:19):
You brought it back now.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Six five?
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Dana?
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Did your name write the script for your life?
Speaker 11 (17:27):
It's not me directly, but my my marriage or married
name sorry is Farmer and my father in law used
to live in the country and when he used to
go to all the trade stores around the area. They
used to ask him is he a farmer so he
(17:49):
could get trade discount and he actually used to turn
around and say, well, yes I am, I am by name.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Wow loophole and it worked.
Speaker 11 (17:59):
But he was a manager of a retail store, so
nothing to do with a farmer at all.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Unreal, not exactly what we're after, but but pretty good loophole.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Great loophole, Jeff, the same.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Thing the former Melbourn football It's more for.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Absolute super start the Wizard.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I'm sure the Wizard wasn't trading in getting discounts because
he had a rural surname.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I don't know he was the Wizard.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
He might have found that loophole himself.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
All right, here we go.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Did your name write the script for your life?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I mean to be honest, this has been very disappointing
and probably the reason why it hasn't been chosen for
the radio show What's that? But here we go the net?
Can she bring it home for the success of does
your name write the script to your life? Let's start
with your story. Then you can tell us your name.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
And it all right, this isn't me, this is a
friend of mine. Okay, and you know after you really
want the story.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Story, Okay, story.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I don't know if it works that way. Okay, So
divorced out clubbing, introducing yourselves. And her name is Candice Bush,
which of course she's known as Candy, so her name
is Candy Bush. So every time we went out, you know,
we have to introduce ourselves. Now you might say, what
career is this person going to do in her path? Well,
(19:22):
of course she can't become a stripper.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
With a name like that.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
So in our forties we decided to take up poles
Auntie and had a wonderful time with my dear friend
Candy Bush.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Tortured Poets Departments out.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Yes, And to celebrate it, Will, we're going to play
a little game with my old man Steve. He's been
along the journey for this whole thing with Taylor Swift.
When she announced that she was doing an album called
the Tortured Poets Department, my dad, who is a poet
by the way, Will came into this radio studio and
(20:03):
he actually wrote and read a palm about Taylor Swift
while getting tortured.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
She has long blonde hair and strums of guitar. Her
singing voice is voted the best by far. Traveling miles
would be.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
One trip it you can direct if you grab this
show's success with the amount of spare time your dad has,
they would be directly correlated.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
He is very responsible for the numbers going up, and
he knows that, and he's starting to think he needs
to be paid.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
He joins us on the phone right now, Hello Dad.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Welcome back, Steve.
Speaker 12 (20:37):
Hello boys.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Gad to hear your voice.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Although I got your message this afternoon, you loved the
last podcast, Thank you?
Speaker 12 (20:42):
I did, I did, I loved it.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Are you still starting to think that you should be
paid for your appearances?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
By the way, Dad, I don't just think it, I
know it.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Oh yeah right, okay, but this one's still on the house, right.
Speaker 12 (20:56):
Yeah, this is on my house.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
That's good, very good of you.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
The invoice. We'll think about it one okay. By the way,
like just for a phone call, you.
Speaker 12 (21:07):
Wouldn't be able to afford it. Well, there's a nice
one saying it.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
He said he was going to talk to Nova. He
actually did. He said that to me, He said, never
might be interested.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Anyway.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
The game we're playing today is Dad has brought out
a very very successful poetry.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Book called Thoughts to Words. It's a collaboration of all
of his best poems and then obviously.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
My favorite title of any book, by the way, Thoughts
to Words unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
His name on the tin is and Taylor Swift has
brought at her her album. So basically Dad is going
to be reading out either lyrics from Taylor Swift's new
album or a line from one of his poems. And
will you have to guess which one he is reading?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh wow, okay, well, I mean certainly a high value
you're putting on your poetry, Steve.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
If you if you're putting it up there with the
lyrical you, yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
You've got that right, well too, genuine wordsmith. Just two
noble laureate's going at it?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Okay, all right, great, Well what do you think about
the song with the title of her record, though Steve,
I mean, yours is called Thoughts to Words.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Hers is called Tortured Poets Department.
Speaker 12 (22:18):
Do you think she's a I think I don't want
to be bastful, but I think mine's much better.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
All right, read the first line, Dad.
Speaker 12 (22:32):
Okay, all right, Hurricane with my name when it came
I got drunk and I dared for it to wash
me away.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I think that stinks of Swift. If I'm being honest,
I think it's got swift to it and all over it.
Speaker 12 (22:48):
Am I meant to give the answer.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
The music, the musical, right, Taylor?
Speaker 6 (22:55):
So that was Taylor Taylor from a new song Florida,
which is on the new album. Okay, Okay, you've got
one world done, Dad, go on to the next line.
Speaker 12 (23:03):
Okay, strumming a guitar and journeys afar glasses and jeans
and crazy dreams, charming the girls with our gentle with
his gentle voice.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
What do you think, Well, given that you've given away
that it was a man, I feel like it might
have been new in that.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
One amazing.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
With his gentle ours.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Didn't clear out the pronouns before you did the blind reading.
That was good poetry, though I was going to say,
I did really like that poetry. That was a hot line, Steve, Okay,
do we The pronoun was the only thing oi the way.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
That was swift.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
That was either Swift or Bob Dylan or Mary Oliver.
As far as I was concerned, that was genius.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
I know who Mary Oliver is, but Dad, do you
have another.
Speaker 12 (23:49):
Line there burning in your bus? We kissed and held hands.
Perhaps it will take you to that promised land.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
That's all I get. Okay, So can I reveal something here?
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So Steve, you know I've read Thoughts to Words back
to front. I've got you know, like I don't remember
the words, but I do know your style, and you
your style.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
You've paged to the rhyming couplet.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
So you know people who write rhymes, it's often you know,
a B A B or a B B A or
whatever it is.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
You're just an AA guy all the way down. He
knows what he's good and he nails that.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
And you do.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
You do it better than anyone. That for me was
a rhyming couplet. I think you rhymed hand and land.
Speaker 12 (24:37):
Correct.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Yeah, yeah, I feel like that might have been you.
It was dad promotion for my book guys and six
five is the number. If you do want a copy
of what.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You're going to say, tell us you want a copy
of AD's poetry book to Words, give us on our
thirteen one oh six five.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
There are still four hundred copies under my desk.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I'd look you, I mean you guys.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Knowing to listen of commercial radio, the general rule is
get out on the laugh. So a lot of the
time we end up having these wonderful conversations and wonderful
laugh moments with you guys, because you're very much the
best part of the show.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
We have a great laugh and then we move you on,
and it.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Means that we don't get to ask any follow up questions.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
We're going back, let's go back in time, going.
Speaker 12 (25:31):
Back in time.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
It's not Are you telling me that you a time machine?
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Yes, every Friday we get to to a follow up question.
Asked us a couple more things about the story that
we didn't quite get to hear from now will this time? Well,
you brought a study to the radio show about the
fact that, on average, yea, Ecuadorian men have the largest appendages.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yay, Brendan, You're not Ecuadorian, but your brother in law is.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Did you hear what the study was about.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
I did hear something about it, I telly, bananas are
the best of the world.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Yes, bananas. The study was people.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Of Cambodia have the smallest erect penis of any country
in the world, coming in at four inches ten centimeters
and the males have. The males in Ecuador have the
largest erect penises in the world, coming in at seven
inches seventeen zero point six centimeters.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
How's that's unfortunate because they are bananas are known things somewhat.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Larger, big bananas.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
Well, cambody and bananas.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
That got uncomfortable? Didn't it super awkward? Well got awkward?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I mean I just can't tell what happened there because
I feel like we hid in between the eyes with
the facts and it was almost like subconsciously he was like, oh,
my sister's married to an Ecuadorian. Now I'm thinking about it. Deflect, deflect,
Let's go back to Ecuadorian bananas. But I don't know,
but but or was the Ecuadorian banana just the perfect
(27:07):
euphimism for the Ecuadorian penis?
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Like do you think he was playing along?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I mean, we both hung up this phone call and
we were like, I feel that we had a very beautiful,
awkward moment when he you know, did he realize that
his sister's sleeping with the largest penis in the world
or or.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Was he just talking about bananas? I think we have
to follow him up.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
I couldn't agree more so we are going to call
Brendan right up next.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
And I mean the question for me is I mean
I want to get I mean, okay, I think first
step with this Friday follow up is we call Brendan.
We go did you did you realize that we were
talking bananas or chop? And then after that we go,
are you willing to call your the.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Brother in law? Surely call the brother in law and
it's confirmed.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Oh so you want to call I think this is
just too much.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Well, see, well would you call your sister?
Speaker 5 (27:56):
No, absolutely not. You just wouldn't, absolutely not, wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
So I think we'll get him to call his Ecuadorian
brother in law and just check there. If you will, we.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Could get him on the line, get the brother in
the law on I mean, get the parents on bit
of doctor Phil, yet get the whole family.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
I will see who we can get from the family.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Last time he started going on about bananas. He started
banging on about the Ecuadorian bananas. And we're just not
sure whether was he shirking the question or was it
a euphemism. Did he understand what we were going for.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
We've got him here, Brendan, You're there, Brendan, are you there.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Oh, yeah, I am here.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
How are you feeling about the information that we shared
with you earlier this week?
Speaker 8 (28:32):
Brendan, Well, it's not It's not often I get anything.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
For the week, so.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
That's not so much the bananas.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Well, I'm using his I'm using his story really to
gain personal gains. I should disclose that.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
You do know what his story is, Brendan, Right, you
know what we're getting at.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
Yeah, Well, a young Ecuadorian man came to this count
who married a young.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Yes in your sister. Yes, that's your story.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
But you can you can you tell us back what
we told you earlier this week, though, Brendan.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
We were talking about is it Cambodia had had the record.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Gambodia had the record for the lowest or the least
or the smallest, and Ecuador had the record for the largest,
and we're talking you know what we're talking about.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
Though, Yeah, I don't have that kind of relationship where
I can actually ask that question, but I'm assuming, Well,
there's five kids came from it, so it.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Okay, because we thought you were deflecting, but you clearly know.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Okay, great, all right, yeah exactly, So you've just said it.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
There you maybe don't have that relationship with your brother
in law to tell him about the fact that he's
got the largest on average. But we do have your sister, Melanie,
who is married to your brother in law.
Speaker 8 (29:47):
Obviously we can probably tell you more about that one
than I ever could.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Okay, well, we've got her here, Melanie, you there.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Yes, I'm here.
Speaker 11 (29:57):
Yeah, Hi, Brendan.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
He learned something this week about your husband. He'd love
to share it with you.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
Oh okay, Well, Ecuador's known for its export of bananas
and best quality bananas. Well yeah, yeah, yeah, and I
wonder if it can be translated as something else you
know that they're also known for. But you could probably
fill them in on the story. I mentioned how you've
(30:23):
had successfully quite a few kids.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
So well, it wasn't Jack.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
When it's occurred. I don't know if that wasn't the
selling point. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Hey, you no, mel We we wanted to get to
the bottom of something. The other day we were talking
about a study which had been done, okay, which which
recorded Cambodians is having the smallest doodle size in the world,
and Ecuadorians were considered as the largest. Uh yeah, And
(31:00):
we basically just ask people to call if they were EQUADORI,
and we didn't get anyone, and.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Then Brendan called up and said, my sister's married to
an Ecuadorian.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
Right, yes, I must admit, what what job?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
My what joke?
Speaker 8 (31:13):
My memory was probably the story they were talking about,
and I immediately thought an email. I thought, well, there's
anyone that can add to this, you know, it might
be you. I don't know.
Speaker 13 (31:22):
I don't think it'd be right if I commented on
am I on light radio. Yeah, I really can't have
a comment.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
I'm really sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Fair enough, fair enough, Rey, No, we weren't. We weren't
after a corroboration. I just wanted to hear your brother
say that to you, Whilch. You weirdly willingly did, which
is awesome. So thank you very much for that.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
What you're basically confirmed that Ecuador is known for its
best quality and largest bananas, and the same thing be
said for the other You've done well.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
I think you need to put comfortable in this space, Brendon.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Britt Hockley, who's fresh out of the office, left jungle.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
Before we get started. I'll take a copy of Steve's
poetry books.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
I'll send it direct to Africa, a little bit of
light reading on the plane home.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Brit it would have been nice to hav him in jungle,
I tell you that.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Oh no, britt let's talk about time in the jungle.
I know you've done a few interviews today which we've
we've heard a bit about, and one of the things
that sort of stuck out to me was that you
were saying that you felt as if you did a
lot of question asking rather than having people ask you questions.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Yeah. I really did. And I didn't really notice it
until the end. Well, actually I noticed it at one point,
probably three weeks in, when a sky was on a
trial and they asked her like a trivia question, and
it was what's Brittney's podcast?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Ask called?
Speaker 7 (33:00):
And she didn't know, and I was like, oh, my job,
like the top level, top level intro, you know. And
then I was like, oh, I just I was like,
I get it. I just feel like I've been asking
all the questions. I just went into mode without meaning.
She was like, you know what it's like when you're
me to interview people. I just automatically, I'm so curious
(33:21):
and I just want to know everything about everyone. And
then I realized I probably hadn't told anyone anything about me.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
So did anyone in the jungle know who you were?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Or you just the lovely chick that was just in there,
just doing interviews in and around the bea.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
No, so Sky, I mean everyone knew yeah, and Sky
knew me. She knew me before I came in, but
she just I guess it wasn't a question that came
up the po She knew I was a podcaster, but
she didn't get the name of it. And I was like, oh, okay,
that's pretty top line.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
So this is bad.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Good if there was another good question her in there,
like what's if you could question yourself? Actually, that's a
good way to say, what's the question you wanted someone
to ask you?
Speaker 7 (33:58):
Yes, Oh, I don't know, maybe sex positions or you
know that's real, real popline stuff, you know, the self
the conversation startup. No, I mean, do you know who
was there? Was? Probably I reckon. There were two people
in there who genuinely like to give you a chuckle,
didn't you want to know the answer? Two people that
(34:21):
genuinely asked you know, I felt like took some time
to get to know me. It was probably believe it
or not, Pete Decros, he actually sat down with me. Yeah,
and he really wanted to know about people I've interviewed
and like my what I'm doing and how I do it?
And you know, we talked for a really long time
of that in depth about a lot of stuff.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Do you know what, like what he was famous for,
like what his position was.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
Yeah, I never seen I've never watching again in my life.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
When you say position.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
Everyone said that he was like this big legend in
but I've never an AFL. I've never watched it. But
I learnt a lot from him, and he literally taught
me how to play AFL. Like imagine being taught AFL
from a great leg piece.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
Oh extraor unbelievable experience. Yeah, unbelievable. Dane Britt, how's your
last like ten hours been?
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Has been?
Speaker 6 (35:17):
Has been your boyfriend flown over to South Africa? Or
is there going to be like a moment where you
guys visit together?
Speaker 7 (35:24):
Now Celtic wouldn't give him any time off? Which long
and behold not shocked. You know, I don't think it
would land going to a football club saying can I
take someone off to be on a reality show?
Speaker 9 (35:34):
The work.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
I don't know my mom flew away, but my mom here.
I was going to go do a safari. I haven't slept.
I've slept about twenty minutes. Do you know what the
crazy thing is? I don't know if this happened to
you when you came off, would it? But I got
in this comfy bed last night and I couldn't sleep,
and I almost missed the camp bet. I was like,
this is weird. I'm wishing it.
Speaker 6 (35:59):
I couldn't sleep, and also I couldn't handle the silence
in this really weird way, because when you're sleeping in
the jungle it's very noisy. You can hear all the
animals and all the sands, and been in a quiet
room was actually really jarring.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Really Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:12):
There was also the fact that I had a big
map and finishitty carbonara and then I was strong toilet
the hall night, so there was that too.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
Yeah, the refeedings are real.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
What's been the apart from the food, what's been the
hardest reacclimatization. I know what he was saying, Like, you know,
he really struggled even like looking at his phone, because
it was so overwhelming. Since you've since you've been out,
which obviously hasn't been long, and people that are just
joining us now Brittany's calling us from Africa's the lay
is where you kind of get.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Spat out and you just expected to go on with
your life. What are you? What are you finding?
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Is the hardest.
Speaker 7 (36:52):
I actually only went on Instagram for the first time
like half an hour ago because I didn't even want
to face it. I had thirteen thousand, five hundred emails
and nine hundred and ninety eight what's that messages alone?
So overwhelm on the phone. I almost want to throw
my phone into an African river. And then again, yeah, yeah,
(37:14):
it's like I don't even know where to start, so
I probably just won't start.
Speaker 5 (37:18):
Yeah, I still have unread stuff from Yeah you too
hard to catch up?
Speaker 1 (37:23):
You were saying that, Yeah, so how are you? Because obviously,
brit you obviously you know you do it. You are
an influencer. You do you so much online? How are
you going to go? Is that something that you want
to get back into or is the time away from
it sort of like giving you a new sense of
clarity around it?
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Well, it's funny, are you saying an influencer? Because I
would never say that, Like, I guess I spent a
lot of time on you know, podcasting like content and
radio and then sporadically I do some some jobs for But.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
You've got hundreds and thousands of followers, like you're a
very popular person online, Like it's a it's a part
of your life, is it? Is it something that you're
looking at there, I'm like, that's going to be hard
to get going again, or you're now feeling kind of
comfortable to it's been a bit of time away from No,
I haven't.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
Even I haven't put a story uph it, haven't done anything.
I've just pretended. I'm just not in there, and I'm
I'm sure i'll ease back into it. So I have
loved I don't know about you, but I loved not
having my phone.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
It was the well, it sounds like you've got your
first post lined up anyway, just a story poof from
last night.

Was and what he had told me, right, it's like
BRIT's hard, Like it's genuinely hard. And I was like, yeah, yeah,
it's so hard. And you don't know until you know,
like you just have to be in there. There's no
preparation you could possibly do. I was always starving, You're
always bored, You're always you never have energy because you're
