Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you got the date rider. I just

9
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: want to clarify so it doesn't sound like it's a Sunday.

10
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 3: Well down the track, this is.

11
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 5: Sunday plenty to talk about with Ninja worry. Don't get

12
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 5: me wrong, Benny.

13
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 4: But let's talk about something else.

14
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: We'll talk about something else to start with, because why

15
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: you drag me in. There's a bit of a bone

16
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: to pick with you.

17
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 5: And you know what, when a guest comes in, we

18
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 5: like to say welcome because friends respect each other.

19
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

20
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 5: For a long time on this show, we've had a

21
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 5: thing called the six o'clock Club, very exclusive club from

22
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 5: six or seven. Yeah, unique members of the community.

23
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 4: I'm aware of early.

24
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: You know what, we shouldn't even be talking about it now.

25
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: It's a secret club.

26
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 5: But when you start important on two gbare the breakfast slot,

27
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden someone sends me a photo

28
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 5: with an actual mug just the five thirty Club on

29
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 5: the Moon.

30
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and not to be confused with the six o'clock club.

31
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: It's a completely different club. It's an earlier, better club.

32
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: It's the five thirty club.

33
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 4: Got in with.

34
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: It's like the seven minute workout.

35
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: You've come in with a six minute workout, you can

36
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: tell you.

37
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 3: Look, if someone's got a good idea, I'm prepared to

38
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: acknowledge it, still steal it. All right, Well let me

39
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: ask this And the one thing I didn't do was

40
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 3: acknowledge it. So now's my opportunity to acknowledge that that

41
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: was lifted directly from you.

42
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 4: But can I just point something out?

43
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: Is it true that there was a radio show in

44
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: Brisbane that had the six o'clock club before fits In

45
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: and Whipper had the six I.

46
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: Want to talk about it. That is incorrect. It wasn't Brisbane.

47
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 4: It was another stup.

48
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter, like, yeah, so you pinched it from

49
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: them and I pinched it from you.

50
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: Just another one as well before we do go on.

51
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: Is another thing that we want to push you as well.

52
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: You were you were at an event that we have

53
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: become obsessed with, right, Benny, you don't know about this,

54
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: but we know that you were there. We played this

55
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: audio to Sam Neil and he thinks it's the greatest

56
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: thing ever on earth. Now, this was a promotion to

57
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: promote a boxer here, Jeff Horn's fight coming up, and

58
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 1: Alan Jones was hosting it. Let's have a listener to

59
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: the young.

60
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 4: Boy from Brisbane.

61
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: How good is it?

62
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 4: How good is it? What's his name?

63
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 5: How do we spell it?

64
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: H oh ah and Horn?

65
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: Who isn't he? I do you why?

66
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: People were laughing?

67
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 3: No, he did to be fair to him the moment

68
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 3: he stepped down from the stage, did he, He said

69
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: to someone who was there with him up. So I

70
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: think I might have just stuff that up you straight away.

71
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: I mean, who would have thought chanting the word horny

72
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: over and over and over again in public might have

73
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 3: a few people laugh, But if you.

74
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 5: Yell at out loud enough for long enough, you will be.

75
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: I think he might have been trolling everyone. I think

76
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: Jonesy would have known exactly what he was doing. And

77
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: he likes going viral. And now it's proof because it's

78
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 3: been played here on over.

79
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: I take my hat off.

80
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 4: He got us a beauty which.

81
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: A chance to get into the five point thirty.

82
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: You're talking about Ninja Warrior because controversy this year, before

83
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: we've even gone up and anyone's fallen down or anyone's

84
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: got to got to the end, there is controversy because

85
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: you're involved in a bit of a fight with one

86
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: of your well someone else members.

87
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I mean i'll tell it chronologically. So Nick Curios, Yes,

88
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: a few years ago, was behaving very badly on the

89
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: tennis court. I went on air and said, this bloke's

90
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: an absolute tool and he belongs in a straight jacket,

91
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: which I think is a measure. I didn't comment, right,

92
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 3: I said, he needs to be medicated, he needs a psychiatrist,

93
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: he needs to go into a straight jack He is

94
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: a tool. Then Ninjawarrior says to me, oh, so we've

95
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: got a new co host for you this year, and

96
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: I said, who's that. They said, it's Nick Kurrios. You're

97
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: kidding me, And I said, fantastic, because these days, you

98
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: know Nick Kirios. I mean, I really think he's kind

99
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: of captured the love and the respect of your state

100
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: in public. Then a journalist was interviewing Nick Kirios about

101
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: the show starting this Sunday, and they said, oh, you're

102
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: aware of the comments that Ben Forden.

103
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: Made about you a few years ago.

104
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: And of course he says, oh, well, he didn't say

105
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,119
Speaker 3: any of that to me when we were working together.

106
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: He was happy to have a photograph taken with me

107
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: and pose in photos with his kids, and he seemed

108
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 3: like he liked me at the time. So Nick, if

109
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 3: you're listening this morning, look, I mean, if you guys

110
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 3: have never said any really awkward, you wish you could

111
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 3: take back. And you know what I meant it at

112
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: the time, because he was behaving like a tool, and

113
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: I think I like a lot of people. And Nick

114
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: was really good when the journalists put it to him

115
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 3: because he said, look, to be honest, you know, Ben's.

116
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: Probably with a lot of people that thought I was

117
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 4: a tool a few years.

118
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: Ago, and how they face with him.

119
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: Yet mate, he still might have a crack at you

120
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: might get a back end straight down the line. Yeah.

121
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to be seeing him this Sunday because

122
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: we're getting together to watch episode one.

123
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 4: Go to just the two of you, Dad, But I'm.

124
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: Taking Richard Wilkins a lot of security to be fine,

125
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 3: and you know, if there's any incidents, he'll just crush

126
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: him in those giants hands. But Nick, if you're listening, mate,

127
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: what's happened in the past is in the past. We

128
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 3: move forward, right, such a professional. I mean, think about

129
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 3: some of the things you guys have said about people.

130
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 4: Yes, you know what I mean.

131
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: So Benny, give us something here, because Bennie Paulson last

132
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: year Mount Madoria, he got up to the top.

133
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: Look, all we made, all we've done is we've made

134
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: it harder, harder. We've also we've made it higher, harder.

135
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: We've also done underwater obstacles. And that was my idea.

136
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: I would imagine if they had to dive underwater, swim

137
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: through chambers and open up locks and doors and things

138
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 3: that no, so we've really messed with their heads a bit.

139
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 3: We race them side by side as well. Nick Kurios

140
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: on the sideline, you're not a tool, not in jacket

141
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: tennis balls at him?

142
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: Is he very?

143
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: That's an idea, not a bad idea.

144
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 4: It's just a great idea. So yeah, look it's bigger

145
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 4: meana tough matter.

146
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a great thing at the end of that

147
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 5: where you run through and there's just electrical wires dangling

148
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 5: down and you.

149
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 4: Can get zapped.

150
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 5: And I'd say one and twenty often cop one in

151
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 5: the temple when they pass out on the spot.

152
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know whether that's family going out and there's.

153
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: A live toaster into the water hitting tennis balls out there.

154
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 3: I think that's the go and if he does stick

155
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 3: around and do it next year, I think we're going

156
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 3: to go ahead with the tennis.

157
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 5: So it's turned into that.

158
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: It's a knockout. I love it to knockout. Saw it lies?

159
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: Did you? Billy J Smith and Jackie McDonald as a.
