7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: We spoke on the show yesterday about a podcast that

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: I had listened to. It's The Imperfects with a couple

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: of mates and Shelton has not been a guest yet myself,

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: nor has FITZI. But Whip was on there and he

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: did reveal a lot of lovely things about himself. It

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 2: was very open and honest about mental health and things

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 2: that he's been through in the past. But he also

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: made this revelation at the end of the chat.

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: I've done something creatively I've never spoken to anybody about.

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: I wrote an erotic novel called The Far Too Personal Trainer.

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: Just NEI Ryan Shelton would love that. Why because the.

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: Interview erotic novel.

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: No He just is entertained by some of the ridiculous

20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: things that I do. So you'll often say, what's on

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: the go now, this is fun, this is different. Well,

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: he's a man of ideas.

23
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: Over the years he's brought in here quite a few things.

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: I know that what was that thing?

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: What was the head? What was the head? The virtual reality?

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: I think I even did.

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: A pilot for a TV show Once upon a Team.

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: You should see the list of working on. You should

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: see the list I'm working on at the moment.

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: So it's virtual reality done.

31
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: You'll still go as a Tourism Australia campaign, was it? Yeah?

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 3: No, no, no. You took out all these websites. You

33
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 3: said it was going to be the next big thing.

34
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: You You wore a virtual reality helmet on safari in Africa.

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: That's footage and when your first child was born.

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: It's got nothing to do with the far too personal training.

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: If you'd like to derail please, Do.

38
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: You think that the erotic novel is going to be

39
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: far more successful? Or was this only ever written for

40
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: Ryan Shelton and a bit of for you?

41
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: It was hard to know when I wrote it. I

42
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: just didn't really enjoyed the process of writing a book.

43
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: And if there's any other authors out there, I'm an author. Hello,

44
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm sitting right next to you. I mean, that was

45
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: a cute book as such. I mean there's a.

46
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: Lot of it there's been three of them currently writing

47
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: my life story as well, a.

48
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: Lot of celebrities doing kids books, a lot of people

49
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: in media doing kids books and cookbooks. Who's writing for

50
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: the adults?

51
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: Are you? Are you actually doing your life story at

52
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: the moment.

53
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

54
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: You'll have to have you got a ghostwriter?

55
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: No, And that's what I was speaking of. Let's get

56
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: off that topic. If it's speaking of ghostwriters, have you

57
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: and I do have the first kind of apart from

58
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 2: Ryan Shelton. This is the first copy, I'm guessing.

59
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm very nervous excerpt of the book.

60
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: Is it the opening chapter?

61
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: Chapter one?

62
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: We did promise you that we'd bring a bit of

63
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: it to you today. I haven't read it yet. I'm

64
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 2: hoping Tommy has.

65
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: And that is.

66
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: What are you doing?

67
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Chapter one of the Far Too Personal Trainer?

68
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: I think with it? I mean, I don't know what

69
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: is Whipper going to do? Is he going to open

70
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: with a bang? Or is he going to introduce us

71
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: to the characters like the pilot episode of every good

72
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: TV show?

73
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: Knowing that sick mine, I would say, and do you

74
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: know what?

75
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: I think the funniest thing is he wanders around this

76
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: office he comes in in the morning. He's so tired,

77
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: He's got so much to do, and this is what

78
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: he's been doing, writing an erotic novel.

79
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: Kate Richie, the first reader of chapter one. I'm the

80
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: far too personal trainer.

81
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: Here we go.

82
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: I was a little bit of an opener. I'll skip

83
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: through that.

84
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 3: Hi.

85
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 2: I'm Ben and I'm a personal trainer. I'm a good

86
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: looking rooster. Yeah, probably a ten out of ten, six

87
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: foot three, blonde, bloody, fit, six pack, probably eight.

88
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: Wow.

89
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 2: My job as a personal trainer is to make sure

90
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: that any girl who walks into the gym leaves feeling

91
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: better about herself. Red faced and short of breath. It's

92
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: all exercise. When a woman comes to me for personal training,

93
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: there are some things you can guarantee.

94
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: Want to listen.

95
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: The cat pos I would imagine. Number one, they'll end

96
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: up telling me everything that's wrong in their life. Number two,

97
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: they have too much to say about everyone else. Three,

98
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: when they see results and are feeling good about themselves,

99
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: they'll think of me because I'm the one that made

100
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: it happen. Number four, and they'll hit on me. I

101
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 2: was having this discussion with my housemate Mono. His real

102
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: name is Dave, but he was worn with only one testicle.

103
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: I'm guessing that's important to the plot, is it?

104
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 3: You're going down that road.

105
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: Something else, But that's a story for another time. Anyway,

106
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: I was saying that the girls who were easier to

107
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: pick up are those who are already married. We see

108
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: it all the time in this job. A married woman

109
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: comes in, her husband spends all day and night at

110
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: the office, making more money than he's made before, and

111
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: all he wants to do is spend it on fast

112
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: toys and hanging out with his mates. She's then had

113
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: a couple of kids, spends her days at home as

114
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: people listening going that's me, that's not in the book,

115
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: that's me saying that that's my mind, that's my inner dialogue.

116
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 2: Spends her days at home feeling older. Then all of

117
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: a sudden there's a hot young guy making her.

118
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: Feel good about herself. Go on, which.

119
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: Hasn't happened in ten years. What do you think the

120
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: result is going to be? She's going to end up

121
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: wanting you easy. Mono and I are always arguing we're

122
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: both twenty six, but in maturity, we'd say around the

123
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: age of sixteen, or maybe that's just me, that's fright.

124
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: We live in a small two bedroom apartment. We share

125
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: the same bathroom, which is only one toilet. It's a

126
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: nice apartment, it just never feels really clean. It blows

127
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: my mind how quickly a kitchen bin can fill up, well,

128
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 2: how many more things you can stuff in it. I

129
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: think this is the painting.

130
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: Of the picture made.

131
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: This is the you know what I'm guessing. We want

132
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: to see what the apartment looks like a twenty six

133
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: year old. We've all been there.

134
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: This is what an author does. Fits it?

135
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 3: Okay?

136
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: And have you noticed how, oh, here we go? Have

137
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: you noticed how a folded empty toilet roll can slide

138
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: into the smallest spaces of the bin. That's interesting, amazing?

139
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 3: Is that the raunchiest part of the first jock?

140
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be raunchier than that?

141
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: Or is that only?

142
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: Is that the radio we're meeting Ben for the first time.

143
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: Ben is a personal trainer. We've now we now know

144
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: he's six foot three, he's got an eight pack, and

145
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: he's talking about his target, which he likes because he

146
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: loves women, a married women carey.

147
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: But it feels as though saying Ben, no, Ben think

148
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: that the women he trains are a bit of an

149
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: issue in his life. Is he taking advantage of women

150
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: when they are feeling vulnerable.

151
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: Celebrating what the woman can be once she is feeling

152
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: great about her Okay, so Kate, I'd let you down.

153
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: So you want raunchier?

154
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: Do you want to swe I want raunchier. But then

155
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: I'm worried that maybe it's not fit for radio.

156
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't need to be the censor guy comes in.

157
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 2: Reading it in my own time. Do we have hard

158
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: copies of this that I don't know? I'm going to

159
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,520
