1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Sits and with her with Kate Ritchie podcast celebrating the

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: life of Jerry Springer had just woken off. Jerry has

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: passed away at the tender age of seventy nine years old.

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: Oh he was cooked here.

5
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: No, well, it all happened quite quickly. He had pan

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: created cancer and he got the diagnosis a couple of

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: months ago and deteriorated fairly quickly, a very aggressive cancer.

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for Jerry A. Springer. But my god, what a

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: life that man lived.

10
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 3: Well, I read the other day because when he first

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: came onto the scene, he was just another talk show host.

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 3: He wasn't controversial, and you had to like Sally Jesse, Raphael,

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 3: you had Donahue, Oprah was just kicking off and he

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 3: was boring. Like everyone was like, oh, well another one.

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a couple of false starts. Well, his

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: history was he had a bit of a profile because

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: he was the mayor of Cincinnati in seventy seven. Then

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: he became a lead anchor of NBC of their local

19
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: news there in Cincinnati, UNBC, so he was known as

20
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: he was known as more of a straight guy. And

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: what I think was so good about his craft. Even

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: when Jerry spring of the show as we know it

23
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: played out. He was always quite straight, He wasn't laughing.

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: He was almost like Louis Thureaux in these documentaries, where

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: he just asked the correct questions to provoke a little

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: bit and let the guests on the show do the rest.

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: Well they I think they said there was a suggestion

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: to go.

29
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: I think they had a controversial guest on one time.

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: I think it was like a white supremacist or something

31
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: their own and the reaction that they got from the

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: viewers was unbelievable, and they went, well, he could be

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: one of the first with controversial television, which now you

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: look at shock jocks and all this people who just

35
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: want to shock the whole time and question every social issue.

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: Jerry could have been one of the first to do

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: it on television. One stage, it was outrating the Oprah

38
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: Winfrey Show. That's how big it was. But I think

39
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: you're right, it got it got so wild that you

40
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: would end up sitting back thinking is this real? Their actors, well,

41
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 3: this is cart be legitimate. No, I don't think it

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 3: was legitimate the whole time.

43
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: That was, but you know from his casting team for

44
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: who turned up on stage that day, and Steve the

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: security guy, had to break up the fight. Man, Where

46
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: did they find these people? We have a little bit

47
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: of a package here. I think it's under the title

48
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: of Jerry Spriger Moments, Jess. This was the sort of

49
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: regular gig you'd get on his show.

50
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 4: Sister Share Everything, Close, Secret shoes and on this show

51
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: men you have a girlfriend and you've been pimping out

52
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 4: her cousin for a whole year. Now, Dusty, did you

53
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: hook up with your wife's mother? Yeah, a little bit, though,

54
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: Well j heard to my brother, I'm a sleeping with

55
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: his fiance for last month and a half.

56
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: It was come on, what's going.

57
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: Who came on? And he'd been cheating with his wife

58
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: on his wife with a horse.

59
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, well that's that's that can happen regularly.

60
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: How do they always find these people?

61
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: What about these do these two girls who offered.

62
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 4: Him a right home because he was drunk and it

63
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 4: just it got kind of wild then and we ended

64
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 4: up buying sex.

65
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: Why the hell would you do this to me again? Christina?

66
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 4: What do you mean again?

67
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: And my boy, I'm sorry, Oh my god, that's not funny.

68
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: I mean, that's two sisters who agrees to go on

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: this they would do.

70
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: Next would be bring out the three boyfriends, and then

71
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: it was just on. He got to the point where

72
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: you almost was like releasing At one stage, you'd release

73
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: a wild animal from a cage and Steve had to

74
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: come in and stop the fight from happening. What a

75
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: gig Steve had, Steve, That's awesome.

76
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: Steve always had a grin on his face. It was like,

77
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: it's like the security guard on Judge Judy. Here he

78
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: ended up in jail himself, did he? Yes?

79
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,279
Speaker 2: This Judge Judy.

80
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: Sent him to Joe. What a twist that episode would be.

81
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: It's it was shock television, wasn't it? And it took

82
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: off like that was the original Jerry Springer? Would it

83
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: work here?

84
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: I wonder if before he died, I wonder if there

85
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: was a moment where Jerry Springer in his deathbed said

86
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: to his wife, you know what, I wish I didn't

87
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: do it like they loved it. My conscience says to

88
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 3: me that what I've done my whole career was.

89
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: Role What about when he came on this show we

90
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: needed his help. We were trying to track down Matt Damon.

91
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 4: Hey Fitzi and Whopper Jerry Springer here. I understand you guys.

92
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 4: You've been trying to reach Matt Damon. I don't know

93
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 4: him personally and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to

94
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 4: get involved in this. But I will say for you guys,

95
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 4: you seem to be of good character. And the reason

96
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 4: I know that is because I checked our records and

97
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: you've never been on my show, which is a good thing.

98
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 4: You don't ever want to be on my show. But

99
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 4: in any event, take care of yourself and each other.

100
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Told me, I just found out Jerry Springer did five

101
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: episod so it's here in Sydney.
