1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Fitsy and with her with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 2: I mean with a cricket and the ashes. We won

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: the first ashes. Kate knows all about basball now as well.

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 3: We've been talking vaguely vaguely.

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: It's great timing with the second Test starting very very soon.

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: The two part mini series Warning at premiere Sunday night,

7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: seven pm on Channel nine and then it continues Monday

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: night at seven thirty. The man playing Shane Warn is

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: Alex Williams.

10
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: He joins us now, Alex, welcome to the show, Alette,

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: thank you for having me.

12
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: It's such a roller coaster ride like Shane WARN's life.

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: You don't the such enormous highs with him saving this

14
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: country so many times against the best cricketers in the world,

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: and then you know, like you know, the drug scandal

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff as well, with a

17
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: pill and all that kind of stuff that he took

18
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 2: as well, and then obviously towards the end as well,

19
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: that no one saw coming with losing his life, it

20
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: was it would have been quite draining to go through

21
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: what Warny had in his life.

22
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were a lot of different scandals, you know,

23
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: and for me, a lot of it was Yes, that

24
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: stuff is in the show because it has to be.

25
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: You're not going to, you know, just create an alternate history.

26
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: But it's about how he responded to that and owned

27
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: those mishaps that I think is the reason that the

28
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: country sort of fell in love with him and stayed

29
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: in love with him.

30
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think when he did pass away, I

31
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 3: have a feeling that even if you weren't a fan

32
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: of Shane Warn and you only ever saw the headlines

33
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 3: and as a result, perhaps maybe didn't even think too

34
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: much of him, there were a lot of interviews and

35
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 3: a lot of press and a lot of things that

36
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 3: were rehashed, and it was as if the country was

37
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: reintroduced to this guy.

38
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: You know what. Another one was when he went into

39
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: the jungle and you know, I'm a celebrity and you

40
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: got to see the real Warning, like you've got to

41
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: see him twenty four seven.

42
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: I was a fair bit of that because obviously, when

43
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: you're playing a real person, you get a lot of

44
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: content that's out there of them in interviews. So to

45
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: get that in the jungle was actually quite handy because

46
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: I'd imagine there you probably just forget the cameras on

47
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, so that was kind of useful

48
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: just for a few little side moments and the little inns.

49
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: There was a scene where I think Warny and Simone

50
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: first got together and it gets quite intimate. Can you

51
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 2: tell us what happened on set that day?

52
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, so me and Man's we've been good mates for

53
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: about seven or eight years. But you know, with that

54
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: comes okay, you know we're playing husband and wife. We've

55
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: got that little so it's when they're young. So I've

56
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: got this big kind of blonde mullet on and the

57
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: scene is basically they're getting getting it, getting on their

58
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: way to the bedroom. He's pushing it up against the wall,

59
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: and then it cuts away and in the bedroom is

60
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: the bed and I'm supposed to fall back on the

61
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: bed and she's supposed to fall on top of me.

62
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: Beds on wheels, so the bed's moved a little bit.

63
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: We hit the wall a little hard and Mane kind

64
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: of hits the back of her head on the wall

65
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: and then it rebounds forward as I'm sort of coming

66
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: up to kiss her again and she head butts me

67
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: on the nose. But it sort of just discombobulated both

68
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: of us. So then we go into the bedroom and

69
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: I'm blind falling backwards and we've completely it's the bed.

70
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: What we haven't missed was the corner of the bedside

71
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: table onto the back of my head with her on

72
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: top of me. So she's put her hand out to

73
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: brace and she's broken her wrist, the first bone she's

74
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: ever broken in her body. But at that point all

75
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: you hear is bang expletive and then you can just

76
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: see like this massive red patch coming through the wig

77
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: and splitch your head open massively.

78
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, get any stitches, Alex.

79
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, They're like, we've got to stitch the back of

80
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: your head back together. Glue it, the stitch it. We're

81
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: just going to shave the back of your head.

82
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: You know.

83
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: The producers are. They're going, well, you can't, We've got

Speaker 1: to work tomorrow.

00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: You can also imagine Warning just hovering over you guys

86
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,280
