Speaker 3: Like I'm reading Sam Walker from The Rooster, he got dropped.

40
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: And now players want to release, they bring their manager.

41
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: But you used to get We used to get dropped, abused,

42
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: you know, yelled at violently, and then your manager would

43
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: yell at you. Then your wife yells at you. But

44
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,440

45
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: sort of you're sort of used to it. But now

46
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, people are changing teams so often and

47
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,000

76
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: management to have a chat about it. And the minute

77
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 4: that they said, hey, I want to have a bit

78
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 4: of a chat about sort of hygiene and things, and

79
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 4: he told him. The guy went, it's a stitch up,

00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 2: You can actually talking of bad breath. You're watching the

89

00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: all the different the different types of things that you've

94
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: got to drain.

95
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 5: The anus was all.

96
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: Right, an eyeball burst.

Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the eyeball they're too big to actually just swallow,

00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: have to bite it.

99
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 5: So I reckon.

100
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: I had it in my mouth. I reckon for about

101
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: five minutes.

102
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 5: What does it feel like like when you bite through it.

103
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: Is it like where that's where it got me. No,

104
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: it's sort of yes, it's the sort of texture is inside.

105
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: It's it's more like pussy.

106
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: And then a warm would you rather a cold pass

107
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,559

00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 5: Definitely cold?

109
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: When I bid it, like I was all right, and

110
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: I kept sort of just moving it around my mouth

111
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: and winking at Chris and Julia like I had I

112

Speaker 3: my cheek was all puffed up. They knew I still

114
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,960

Speaker 3: it's done, let's go, let's move on with the show.

Speaker 1: You are a stambassador.

133
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: I want to I want to talk about this new

134
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: show totally, completely fine. Now, this is a show that's

135
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: inspired by the life of a guy by the name.

136
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: Of Don Richie.

137
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: He was famous for well he intervened over one hundred

138
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: and eighty suicide attempts out the Gap in Watson's Bay.

139
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: This guy is a legend.

140
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I mean, it's a fictional life story, but

141
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: it's happened that there's a place in Canada as well.

142
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: So essentially, this young woman inherits a house, let's say

143
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: in the East and suburbs on a cliff on the ocean,

144
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: and her backyard shared with obviously the gap, yes, and

145
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: people use the backyard to obviously own their lives. And

146
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: she inherits the house and the responsibility. So literally soon

147
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 3: as she gets the house that night, she's faced with

148
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: that and it just, I mean, it's grief is complex,

149
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 3: and she the lady, is a mess herself. She's not together,

150
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: she hasn't got it together. She's you know, she's not well,

151
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 3: she's a bit sick, she's been drinking, but she saves

152
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: a lot of people's lives and shows yeah, just how

153
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: complex the situation is. It probably puts others before her

154
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: own safety and health, and it's look, it's a dark comedy.

155
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: I didn't realize this is what the show was about.

156
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 4: I've done a whole lot of research on this guy. Yeah,

157
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 4: because I've been fascinated by Don Richie. Yeah, and the

158
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: way he would sit in the front room of his

159
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 4: house and what held people coming. Yeah, car pull up,

160
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 4: you'd see someone get out, and he would wander down

161
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: to the gap and he would say to them, Hey,

162
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: don't do that.

163
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 5: Come and have a cup of tea with me. That's right.

164
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 5: And he saved so many lives.

165
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Do you know what.

166
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: I had a friend who went through something similar, and

167
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: now they have a phone.

168
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: There's a phone down there, there is you can.

169
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: Actually pick up before you get all the way down there,

170
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: and you can talk to someone, Kate, it'sn't really that

171
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: which saved a lot of lives as well.

172
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: And he actually he actually does an extension on his

173
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: house too, where he builds like a little or had

174
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: plans him to build like a little breakfast area, so

175
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: people people end up staying with him. I don't want

176
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: to get too much away with the first night the

177
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: woman moves in, a bride leaves a fiance at the altar,

178
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: and then the next day it's a gentleman leaving a

179
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: work site. So it's from all walks of life, and

180
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 3: a lot of them connect and it shows, you know,

181
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: everyone's got issues in their life at the moment. Everyone's

182
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: got troubles, but it shows the enormity of someone's and

183
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: some people think they've got big problems, some don't, and

184
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: they talk each other literally off the cliff.

185
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 5: Fascinating.

186
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 1: It's called totally completely fine.

187
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 5: It's heavy. Look it is heavy.

188
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Let's get he's a heavy top.

189
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 4: It's a heavy topic. Let's address. You know what's interesting

190
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 4: what you mentioned there. When my dad was young, he

191
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 4: was working here in Sydney and he went to the

192
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 4: Gap with his mum and dad. They were just doing

193
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 4: tourist stuff because he was from Melbourne.

194
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 5: Anyway.

195
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: It was late at night and Dad could hear this

196
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: noise and it was a woman who had jumped off,

197
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 4: but she'd landed sort of just underneath sort of a

198
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: meter down in her wedding dress and a dad went

199
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: and grabbed her and carried her back over the fence.

200
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 4: No he's not, there's no starring John Whipfleet. But you

201
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 4: know that wedding dress moment. To think of what must

202
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: have happened in the lead up, what took her to

203
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: where she found herself, is extraordinary. And then you wonder too,

204
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: with someone like Don Ritchie right who saved so many lives,

205
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 4: imagine him then bumping into that person down the street

206
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: and just seeing him a dad, possibly with his wife

207
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 4: and kids in the corner store.

208
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 5: Fascinating.

209
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: It's out now on stand totally completely fine. Bo Ryan,
