1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Big one last night, the final five s as Australia

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Star recruits. So many selection processes last night to see

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: who was going to survive.

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: This is what happened to Merrick Watts.

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 3: To pass it and to get through it and survive

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 3: it is one of the greatest achievements I've ever had

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 3: in my entire career.

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: And that was that was the before the first episode,

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: before he was going on.

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 4: How just double checking mate, I know things have changed

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 4: in your life. There's a whole lot of security outside.

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 4: Did they come in with you or are you looking

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 4: after them?

14
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: That's a good point.

15
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 3: Actually, I don't know who those randos are, but I'm

16
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: just trying to touch me now.

17
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: That's glad. It's perlogically is coming in coming in? Okay?

18
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: Well, obviously you have the best and you have the rest.

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 3: I've got an idea for some infrastructure, gladess.

20
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: I want zip lines. I'm thinking about building a footy stage.

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: What do you know about us? We'll get to that later.

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: The Comediens back.

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 4: Congratulations mate, it was awesome, Like not only was it

24
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 4: amazing TV and refreshing to see a show like that,

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 4: but to see your performance. And I tuned in halfway

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 4: through last night and I just saw a bloke that

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 4: looked like Santa Claus thrilling you right in your face

28
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 4: with that big gray beard, after you'd spent god knows

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 4: how long listening to baby screams and pigs and all

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 4: sorts of stuff.

31
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course we're talking about the interrogation. Yeah, they

32
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: drag us into a room and it's pretty for one, like,

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: they put on discombobulating sound effects and they restrict your

34
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: breathing and your eyes. So basically the idea is they

35
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 3: shut down all of your senses except for the physical sense,

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: which is then in a stress position.

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: So the only thing that you can focus on is

38
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: pain what's going through your brain. It's just explaining to

39
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: someone this is how completely warped I am.

40
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: Right. We all know I love wine, So for a

41
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: thirty to forty minute cycle in a stress position, I

42
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: completely dived into how many different types of reasoning I

43
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 3: like from Australia.

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 2: Of course, I'm not even kidding and I'm not joking.

45
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: When they tapped me on the shoulder and the sense

46
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: time for you to go and get brutalized, I was like, mate, whatever, seriously.

47
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: I'm just think of a wine what did you come

48
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 2: in the Clare Valley mate?

49
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: Whatever?

50
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 2: Not even kidding, I'm not even joking. I would have

51
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: thought you. I was thinking about different types.

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: But there was Pikes there, the corner wines. I was

53
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: into all these deep dive.

54
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: Wines holding up the Premiership cup with Nathan Buckley at Collingwood.

55
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 2: I was was there stuff like that going on? Or

56
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: moving too fantasy states?

57
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 3: Collingwood is a long way away from a premiership Okay,

58
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: So there was one bit I was confused with.

59
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: So you guys were interrogated for I think it was

60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: over twelve hours, but then you were told that you

61
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: had to give up what you were actually there for,

62
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: which was you were sas training trying to get selected.

63
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: So then there was you were in a room with

64
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: James James Magnuson and also the Honey Badger, and there

65
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: was a moment after twelve hours that after all of

66
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: this interrogation, you had to give yourselves up. The Honey

67
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: Badger did, but you didn't. Did you know what was

68
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: going on? Would have you given yourself up at that stage?

69
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: Nah? Not at that point, to be honest, I was

70
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 3: I thought that we were probably not even halfway through

71
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: the interrogation of the Mags and I both thought that

72
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: was going to go a lot longer, and I was

73
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: preparing myself for that to go a lot longer. If

74
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: they said to us, there's another six hoursn't it, I

75
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: would have been and out of my mind.

76
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: See then Ann Middleton said that if you guys in

77
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: that moment, if Honey Badger didn't say we're here for

78
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: SAS selection, that you would have failed. You were gone.

79
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: It was that I don't know, I don't know. We

80
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: you didn't even watch it. I didn't even watch it.

81
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 4: Had a gig last night the reasons again.

82
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: Doing last night was doing a wine gig. I was

83
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: thinking about reasoning. Whatever gets you through, you know when

84
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: you put an alcoholic on an s a ES course.

85
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: This is what happened.

86
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: So James Magdison didn't get through at the end, so

87
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: they said.

88
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: To him it was heartbreaking.

89
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 4: They said to him, no, you haven't completed.

90
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: Of course, it was half when when there's the four

91
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: of us on the hill, we were so cooked, we're

92
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: over it. You know, your body is completely clapped out.

93
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: You're emotionally exhausted as well. And then they said, oh,

94
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 3: look the courses over for you guys. I was like, yes,

95
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: I don't even care if I passed elect so I

96
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: just want to go and eat. And I was.

97
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: Thinking at all the different biscuits. I like this, Tim

98
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: Tamson and Carlos reason all of them.

99
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: But at the end Off don't get it through a

100
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: glass of reasoning and suck it through kids.

101
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: It's it's what a journey.

102
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: But Megs, Megs and I were great mates. And when

103
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 3: Megs didn't pass selection, when he had to hand in

104
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,119
Speaker 3: his number, I well, you're cooked.

105
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 2: Wats You're absolutely right.

106
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: So that's why when you know when they said all

107
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: three of the three, just my face is in shock

108
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: because I'm standing next to two professional athletes and on

109
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: the half wit there thinking about I moved on to

110
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: chardonay By.

111
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: That's James making this said on the show last night

112
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: that he lost an Olympic gold medal by point one

113
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: of us.

114
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: SNAr right, there's a quicker reading of time. Says that,

115
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: and Middleton gets the four of them. You've completed the course.

116
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: But James, unfortunately we didn't think you were good enough.

117
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: Way to kick him, like Horu, I don't think it's

118
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: got nothing to do with his physical ability. The man

119
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 3: is an absolute weapon and great on course, like.

120
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: It was his emotion, he didn't show any emotion. I reckon.

121
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: That's it.

122
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: The thing is with the course, and I've only kind

123
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: of realized this now that it's finished, is that I

124
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: think to go.

125
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: On it and to get to the end.

126
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: To complete it, you have to be prepared to sacrifice everything.

127
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 3: So that means physically you have to leave it on

128
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: the course. Is nothing in the tank yep. Mentally you've

129
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: got to leave everything behind emotionally and personally, which means

130
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: that you've got to divulge every aspect of your personality.

131
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 3: You've got to be prepared to eviscerate yourself, put it

132
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: out there and say there is nothing from me that

133
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 3: you haven't got. I'm empty in every capacity. If you

134
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: do that, then you'll pass Aloe.

135
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: There's when the four of you are there, they say Magdison,

136
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: you're out and you guys have won.

137
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: Did they make you trek back to the camp or

138
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: did they at least pull a car up and give

139
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: you a ride ride in a helicopter? And I was

140
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: so happy on the game.

141
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: On there there's no rat party, was there?

142
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: Something at the end of it was there something that

143
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: you did behind the scenes.

144
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: This is whateppened.

145
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 3: We got the helicopter back to base and I was like,

146
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: I'm so cold because I was getting hypothemic again. I

147
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: was going, I just want a hot show, just going

148
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: to do a few circles and a helicopter justo which.

149
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: They never used, use those shots.

150
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: Can you tell us about the first night back home?

151
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 4: Right you've left ginder mind, you've got back to Sydney.

152
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: Just that in bed, I mean I put on some music.

153
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: We lit a candle, a couple of dreams, Georgie dream

154
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: I don't know what the felt.

155
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: Better see if you can get through this one that

156
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: was in your mouth.

157
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 3: And I was like, okay, sure, whatever I've had recently,

158
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: put on these goggles.

159
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,720
