00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Ridiculous Crime is a production of I Heart Radio. Hey,

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Dutton, Hey's Aaron Burnett. You know what's ridiculous? Yeah?

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: I do. Okay, what I'm going to tell you exactly

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: what is ridiculous. You know that guy Alfred, the great

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: big friend of yours, King Angland, first King of England,

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: my boy, hearing a lot of good things about him, Yeah,

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: more and more every day. I love him, and you

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: want to know why. He's a benighted figure. But also

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: he established an eight pm curfew, did he really? Everyone

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: had to cover their fires and go to bed. He

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: also watered down the beer so that people wouldn't be

12
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: too drunk to work the next day. But that's very

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: responsible if you're forced to go to bed. And I

14
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: say fake that it was a criminal offense to stay

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: up late. I mean it made sense. They didn't want

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: raiding parties to see the fires. But also, you know what,

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: get get at least eight hours. Hello. Now he's very

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: much in your camp of like, look, get enough sleep,

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: don't drink too much the night before you have to

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: work day hydrated. Let's let's all keep these vikings in mind.

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: Don't burn candles. We don't need to burn were sun hats.

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: So it's it's ridiculous. It's not that the eight p

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: m curfew is ridiculous, it's the fact that we do

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: not still have an APM curfew. Oh you find that ridiculous.

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. Yes, please, thank you? Okay, both duly noted.

26
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: You blame me. Guess you have something ridiculous, Oh girl,

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: do I And it's not about Ivar the Boneless. This

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: one is about an Australian teenager throws a party that's

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: so epic that the police they have to call out

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: both helicopters and dogs to break up the party. Oh

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: I like this. This is Ridiculous Crime a podcast about

32
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: absurd and outrageous capers, heists and cons. It's always murder

33
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: free and ridiculous. Elizabeth Ar, You didn't do a lot

34
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: of partying in high school, correct? I'm playing like hard

35
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,720

00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: a power nerd in my Yeah. Well, I did party,

37
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: and by party, I mean I did orchestra before school started,

38
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: I did tennis. After school, I did model you in it.

39
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: At noon, I went home, I did my homework. I

40
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: played more tennis as my brother and then maybe I Watson,

41
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: what about a Saturday? Did I party on a Saturday?

42
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: Everything you had your weet minus the school Everything is

43
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: the same, but minus the school homework, tennis partying, right, yeah, totally. Now,

44
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: where you got to college you changed up this. Yeah.

45
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: Then when I was a freshman, I called my mom

46
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: on a Friday night, like the first semester I was there,

47
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: and I was just, you know, what are you What

48
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: are you doing back at the house And she was like,

49
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: what is wrong with you? Why are you in your

50
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: dorm room? To get out there, We'll get trashed or something.

51
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: And I was like, And then that was all I needed.

52
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: And then they regret it from that point forward, they

53
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: being the university everybody, family, friends, strangers. Well, you had

54
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: that one house right that you live with a bunch

55
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: of BMX guys. Yeah, I imagine you guys party pretty well? Sure,

56
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: yeah we did actually yeah right, yeah, so you did

57
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: get into the full partying fervor once you got to college.

58
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: And then I had a lot of wild years after that.

59
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: And then yeah, okay, now I have another question for you. Okay, uh,

60
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: did you ever a party with Australians? Yes? Okay, do

61
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: you want to admit anything or confess to anything. I

62
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: don't know about the statute of limitation at least seven years,

63
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: but we'll just carry this one forward. I I once

64
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: party with some Australians. They were rugby players. We're up

65
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: in Humboldt for a big like rugby tournament, and it

66
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. There was Englishmen there and

67
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: Danes and like all sorts of people who basically are

68
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: into rugby, which meant, of course there were Australians. Right now,

69
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: the Australians and the Brits they have like a rivalry

70
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: just pretty much wherever they go. It's kind of like

71
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: Texas and New York people the Yankee you know, not

72
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: the baseball team, but what they call Yankee to South right,

73
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: it's like you always want to beat in New Yorker

74
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: in Texas. Kind of the same thing with England or

75
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, the UK and Australia. Right. So I'm hanging

76
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: out with these Australians and I knew this, like theoretically,

77
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: I didn't realize how far this went. So we're late

78
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: into the party. We're into like a basically frat house,

79
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: which you're in the froud Houses basement because this is

80
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: in humbld It, which is a college town in California,

81
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: northern California, and we're underneath the basement. We're getting drunk

82
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: and we run out of beer, right, And the Australians

83
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: convinced the Brits that the Australians they run out of beer,

84
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: they drink their own urine. So wait, this was like

85
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: youth Rugby. Were like what eleven? No, no, we're college.

86
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: We're like a high school age and actually so we're eighteen. Yeah,

87
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: I am skipping fast. We're like eighteen, not youth Rugby.

88
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: They were drinking illegally in this basement in a frat

89
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: house in Humble with these Australians, some of whom we

90
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: are all just up to. But basically it's like a

91
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: youth Rugby, but not quite. It's it's club rug I'm

92
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: with you, So we get drunk with them. They convinced

93
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: the Englishman that Australians drink urine when they run out

94
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: of beer. So they go one Australian peas and a

95
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: red solo cup. Dis Englishman is like, I do anything

96
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: in Australian will do and I was like, no, you couldn't.

97
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: So the Englishman grabs the cups, like, yeah, I can't

98
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: watch this mate drinks down some of the urine. Everyone,

99
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: the Australian and the basement loses their minds because they

100
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: tricked this brit into drinking their urine. That's all just

101
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: to be tougher than the Aussies. That's when I was like, WHOA,

102
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: Partying with Aussie's is the next level? And after that

103
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: I did it numerous times. Only the people that were

104
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: crazier than them that I've come across have been just

105
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: people who are going to get you guaranteed in jail.

106
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: You're like, you may not go to jail tonight. They're

107
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: just full throttle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was really into it. Like, No,

108
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: Kiwi's like the New Zealanders. They're like the chill. They're

109
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: like the Northern California version of Aussie's. So they're like

110
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: you would think, like, oh, are all the former British

111
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: colonies like this? No, the Aussies are unique, Yes exactly.

112
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: So my point of all that is, imagine if you're

113
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: a teenager and you're trying to throw the most epic

114
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: party in Australia. Oh, that's at level, right. So this

115
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: story comes to us from an Aussie listeners recommendation. I

116
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: had not heard about this, but listener John O'Connor, he

117
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: wrote in and he said to us, quote, what if

118
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: I told you there's a ridiculous Aussie crimester whose infamous

119
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: surpasses even the succulent Chinese mealman. Ask any aussee about

120
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: this man and they will know exactly who he is.

121
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: If you weren't sure who I'm talking about. This guy's

122
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 1: story inspired the movie Project X. His name Corey Worthington

00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: the story of Corey Worthington's party. Oh my goodness, Why

179
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: is nothing you can really anticipate, right, you don't know

180
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: how many you're gonna show up. You're just inviting, and

181
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: then you know they tend to tell other people, Well,

182
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: this is kind of how it's set up in Gnar

183
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: Warren that slow, slow night in January in two thousand

184
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: and eight, Corey Washington. I don't know if the dude

185
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: had it like that and everyone just heard his name,

186
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I gotta go to this party. I

187
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: don't know. If it's like just a really really slow

188
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: night that night, whatever happened. It starts out small, just

189
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: Corey and a couple of friends hanging out his parents place,

190
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: and by the time the police arrived, they estimated it

191
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: was five hundred teenagers. But rather than just tell you

192
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: about all this in small details, Elizabeth, I'd like you

193
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: to close your eyes and I'd like you to picture

194
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: its summertime Australia. It's been brutally hot for the last

195
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: few days. Uh, there's a well over a hundred degrees

196
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: fahrenheit on the tenth of January. You can settle down

197
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: into the nineties. And the next day and now today

198
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: on the twelfth, the weather is back down to a

199
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: respectable eighties something, but still hot enough that everyone's looking

200
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: to have a good time. You and Corey Worthington and

201
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: a few of his mates. You're lying around on his

202
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: parents couches right, just hanging out his parents place. Things

203
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: are chill. Corey gets the bright idea to invite a

204
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: few more friends over. You guys are having fun, but

205
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: what's not going to be a larger, better time just

206
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: a few more people. Cory logs onto my Space, but

207
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: he puts out the word parents. So I tell you, mate,

208
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: you don't want to miss It's a gun of by age. Now.

209
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: Some friends do show up mediately, and then some more

210
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: show up, and some more, and some more and some

211
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: more until it's basic good team moviment just imagined car

212
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: loads of SARTs, bum Australian teenagers, jaggy haired, blonde, mop

213
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: haired kids. Everyone's in shorts and flip flops, music gets

214
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: a little louder with every car that arrives. The more

215
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: kids show up, everything gets a little louder. Now you're

216
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: seeing all these sun big teams, and these red plastic

217
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,119
Speaker 1: solo cups are out there. People have fear bottles, fosters,

218
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: they've got cans of cider. You're sipping on on a

219
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: bottle of red wine you pulled from the family's wine collection.

220
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're just drinking right out of the bottle.

221
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: You spit the cork on the ground, and everyone's having

222
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: a good time. Word spreads on my Space. It just

223
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: keeps going. Now soon enough, nearly every team in the

224
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Melbourne area is at Gnar Warren for this party. Kids

225
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: are getting drunker, music is getting louder. The neighbors are

226
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: starting to get a little bit nervous because they're Australians,

227
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: but they're not just insane people. They're like, look, we

228
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: can't have like all these hundreds of kids. And the

229
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: number just keeps growing. And now the kids spilled out

230
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: of the Wordington's home. They're on the lawn, but the

231
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: lawn can't contain them. Now they're on the neighbor's lawns,

232
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: they're on the neighbors cars. They're dancing on the cars,

233
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: They're throwing rocks at windows, they're kicking over mailboxes, they're

234
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: trashing lawn gnomes, whatever there is that just destroying the place.

235
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine that the street is just choked with cars, right.

236
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: Funny you mentioned the traffic is insane. Imagine Kay, you've

237
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: got five hundred teenagers. Where are they parking their cars lawns,

238
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: just wherever they can? Pretty much? You know, the word

239
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: viking like, oh, you know, it started out as a verb.

240
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, oh, let's go viking. It's an activity.

241
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: These kids decided to go viking. They just were just trashing,

242
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: running amo, parking cars from grass, hanging from the trees,

243
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: throwing rocks through windshood. They did not care. Right now,

244
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: as they're doing this, the neighbors at this point are

245
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: and pretty much a full froth. Their panic all right.

246
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: So as his chaos and mayhem spreads the neighbors are

247
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: carrying in their homes, they go, it looks like we're

248
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: gonna have to call the police out. So people they

249
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: call whatever and I one one is in Australia. But

250
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: these teens they're super past respecting any law, that's gonna come.

251
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: A couple of responding officers show up in these like

252
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: young teens are like, wait, don't need any racid Johnny law.

253
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: Join our n s. Get out of right. So the

254
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: cops arrived. The teens stopped throwing rocks at each other

255
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: and through windshields and start throwing them at the cops,

256
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: throwing bottles at the cops. They start throwing cans in

257
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: the cops. Now you reasonable as you are, You're like, guys, guys,

258
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: I don't think this is what we should be doing.

259
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean, these cops are just doing their jobs. Kids,

260
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: ignore you. This is too much fun. Come on, am,

261
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna throw your flip flops. You keep talking like that. Now,

262
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: what can these kids possibly do? With all these drunk

263
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: hooligan children just running around throwing things and everything flip

264
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: but they're not quite flipping over cars, But that looks

265
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: like that maybe right. The cops are like, well, what

266
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: can we do? So they call in the flying squad,

267
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of air wing helicopters. They have cops with

268
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: the chopper like with the spotlight on the kids. Because

269
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: this does nothing. Kids are just throwing rocks at the

270
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: at the police chopper. They're like, that's not gonna work.

271
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to come up with something else. What

272
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: do you think we should do? They have Gary and

273
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: saying it's like, whoa, we could call in the dogs,

274
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: and so then they bring out the canine unit. They

275
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: set the dogs loosen. No, So this is after hours

276
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: of basically a stalemate. The neighbor's cow a ring on

277
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: their homes. They're just thousands of dollars or damage are

278
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: being done in this quiet little neighborhood. And finally it

279
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: all comes to not when the dogs do what nature

280
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: does best and scares human beings. So the children, the teens,

281
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: they all run off and the party is over and

282
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: now it's just cops, dogs and Corey Worthington and his nights.

283
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: So what do they do? And Corey's like, oh, hey,

284
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: there they go. You need to go inside before your

285
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: neighbors gonna be a piece of you. So it goes inside,

286
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: and now what do we do with all of this?

287
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: Bed Lemons, His parents are out of town, his neighbors

288
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: are pissed. Thousands of dollars of damage have been done,

289
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: The police have been called out. Not just the police,

290
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: but their dogs have been turned on his friends. There's

291
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: helicopters have been called out. Who's going to pay for

292
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: all this? After this short break, I'll be back to

293
00:15:47,840 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: tell you what happens when Corey's parents get home. Okay, Elizabeth,

294
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: So we're in our war in Australia. We've just witnessed

295
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: an epic rager take place. You've tried to reason with

296
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: the kids. They listen to you. You You won't listen to

297
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: my rum soaked bones, but you tried, and I appreciate

298
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: the effort. Well, after all the damage gets tallied up

299
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: and all the mailboxes get set a right, the teens

300
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: have done and estimated twenty grand worth of damage, and

301
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: the police have a bill that they would like someone

302
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: to pay. So they're like, Corey, whereas mom and dad?

303
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: He's like, oh about that mate. So as he's sobering

304
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: up the next day, the cops come back around, they're like, look, Corey,

305
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: how did this all get going? What happened? And Corey's

306
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, there's news cameras here. We could say taken

307
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: into custody. They're just briefly taken into custody, but it

308
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: sounds like he's only in police custody on the scene

309
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: from what all the reports, he doesn't he's not like

310
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: taking into the station and it's more like he's taken

311
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: into police custody. But first they told him just to

312
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: go inside, and then later on he's like, so that's

313
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: what I did. Right now. When the next day, when

314
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: the news cameras are there and the police are there

315
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: and everyone's trying to sort out what happened, his parents

316
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: are still not home, Corey gets on the news and

317
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: somebody's asking they're like, so how did this all start?

318
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: And he's like, I can't remember. I was just off

319
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: my head. So he's like trying to plead ignorance. No,

320
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: that's not gonna work, Cory. So this news of this

321
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: epic party spreads across Australia because everyone's like seeing, like,

322
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, all the reports on my Space. The news

323
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: cameras shown up and they're telling all that the damage

324
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: has been done. The neighbors are giving like aggrieved interviews

325
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: to the camera, being like I can't believe what they

326
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: did to me. Long new right, So the television news

327
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: they want to hear the story. So there's you know,

328
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: there's a competition who can get Corey for an interview right.

329
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: The person who wins this competition is Layla McKinnon. Now

330
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: Layla McKinnon. She works for a show called A Current Affair. Now,

331
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: we had that show here, but it's their version in Australia. Elizabeth,

332
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't think I can accurately convey to you what

333
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: this interview was like. So I'm just gonna play it

334
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: for you. But but first I need to set up

335
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: just a couple of the visuals. Okay, I want you

336
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: to imagine Corey Worthington's this kid. He looks like a

337
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: surf rat teenage boy, you know, just like total uh

338
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: ocean side Huntington's beach kind of surf rat, like a

339
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: little surf ground kid. Right now, his blonde hair shoots

340
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: out from underneath his little flat brim ball cap he's

341
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: got on. Like his hair looks like like angry, hurtless straw. Right, Okay,

342
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: so you got that. Now he's wearing bright yellow Karen

343
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: Walker style sunglasses. Okay, they're huge, but not comically big,

344
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: like you're just really yeah over thinking, that's the charm oversize.

345
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: Now he's shirtless on screen. He's wearing a hoodie that's

346
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: open because one of your zip up style hoodies. He's

347
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: got it's faux fur on the lining, which we can

348
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: see on the hoodie, and he's got a big nipple

349
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: ring that looks kind of fresh, and he keeps trying

350
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: to make sure that's it's in camera prominently hime. Now, meanwhile,

351
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: there's Layla and she's a bright eyed blonde. Now she's

352
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: a broadcaster news broadcaster journalist, and she's also somewhat perky

353
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: and sunny in her disposition, but at the same time,

354
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: she's somewhat conservative underneath. So it's clearly an act as

355
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: perkiness because, as you'll see, he gets her to reveal

356
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: her true self to dis imagine Fox News but Assie style. Right,

357
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: So these are our combatants and surf rat, ass teen

358
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: versus pert and conservative news host. Got it, I'm ready

359
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: choice of arena the live TV interview, you know, and

360
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: the teenager already has the advantage, but the adult doesn't

361
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: recognize that because they think, Oh, I'm the professional and

362
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing exactly. Okay, So our opening

363
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: salvo seems friendly enough. This is Layla Corey, thanks for

364
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: joining us. The only question that I can think to

365
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: ask is what were you thinking? Um? I wasn't really

366
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: did your parents say you could have a party? Um? No,

367
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: So now we have our battle line to draw, right,

368
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: let's see where journalists Layla McKinnon takes this line of questioning,

369
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: why did you? Um, I know, I was just to

370
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: get together with a couple of mates at first, and

371
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: then we thought we might as well just have a

372
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: bit of a party, and then it sort of just

373
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: got out of hand and yeah, yeah, yeah. At this point,

374
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: Layla is still friendly in her demeanor, and then she's

375
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: really after the facts of this story, right, but she

376
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: also wants to get to the real drama. His parents, Well,

377
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: five hundred people turned up, the air wing of the

378
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: police force, the dog squad. Your neighbor's cars were being destroyed.

379
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: What have your parents had to say? Corey? Now, Corey

380
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: is like kind of cool about this. I haven't really

381
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: talked to him with kids. Every time they call, I

382
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: don't answer because, yeah, the protect kill me. So that's

383
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: a short term strategy being an adult. She attempts to

384
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: warn Curry Corey Worthington that there will be consequences for

385
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: his He cannot wait till this blow is over. But

386
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: Corey is what you call an optimist or a teenager,

387
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: and he's unwilling to hear this reality that she's presenting him. Now,

388
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: Layla takes back over her line of questioning and she

389
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: basically tries to focus on the parents he wants to get.

390
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: Nowt to the full drama, right, You're gonna have to

391
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: talk to them eventually. What are you gonna say? Um? Sorry?

392
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: Are you sorry? Now this becomes a new theme for

393
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: her questioning. She just drills down on the question is

394
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: he really sorry or not? Why this matters to her?

395
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, but Layla will not let it go

396
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: until she gets her apologies, and in this case, she

397
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: kind of becomes like a surrogate mother, which is real fun.

398
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: Now back to Layla, you don't sound very sorry, but

399
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: I can't be exactly what happened because it wasn't in

400
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: the house, was out in the street, and I didn't

401
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: do it like the police said, you stay inside so

402
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: you don't get in trouble. So I did what he said.

403
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 1: So okay, Well, look that's all well and good. At

404
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: the end of the party, Corey, that's you're you're good there.

405
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: But Layla, she's laser focused on getting this a pology

406
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: and she wants it to happen live on air. She's

407
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: got to store everybody, so she's got to get this

408
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: to him, to him apologize. I'll give you a little hint.

409
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: I didn't happen, I would guess. Yeah, Why don't you

410
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: take this opportunity now to apologize to your parents and

411
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: sher neighbors who have said today that they were frittened. Well,

412
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: I've already I've already offered to say sorry to them

413
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: and stuff when I see them, So I will say

414
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: sorry now or everything that happened. Why don't you take

415
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: your glasses off so we can see you and then

416
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: apologize to your neighbors for frightening them. Nah, hollis on,

417
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: I like them now. At this point, the sunglasses have

418
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: become mad your go ahead, which he's wearing sunglasses through

419
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: the whole whole interview, and it refuses to take him off.

420
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: He's just sitting there with this like poop eating grin

421
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: on his face, and the sunglasses has become this major

422
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: sticking point. It's like the adult wanting to smack the

423
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: off his face, but you can't because it's a live

424
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: interview and he's on. You know, he's not in the

425
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: he's on location basic and there's just a camera and

426
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: he's just talking to the camera, and she's sitting there

427
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: on set behind the desk looking print. Okay, so Layla

428
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: tries to get back to the issue of Corey's parents. Right,

429
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: they might be fined twenty dollars. Are you going to

430
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: try and pay that for them? Yeah, but I don't

431
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: think it's fair. They'll be finding because what happened. It

432
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: was my party, but it could have just been any

433
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: random person walking in the street doing it. What it

434
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: happens all the time, he's basically trying to hack like

435
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: all this damage at the damage to neighbors houses could

436
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: have happened if some you know, street walking stranger just

437
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 1: happened to pass many times? How many times we talked

438
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: about all the time. Have I been sitting at home

439
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: and Randa shows up and throws person party on my

440
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: front porch? Yeah, and I'm having a great time there.

441
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: But you know, come on, not really like I didn't

442
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: ask who this to happen. Now, this was chance, serendipity,

443
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: one might say. So. At this point, both Layla and

444
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: Corey are around the bend like this aren't. Review has

445
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: pretty much gone off the rails. Layla refuses to admit

446
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: it to herself, and she's like, I'm gonna get this

447
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: apology right. So the battle is not yet over and

448
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: it's all still playing out live on air, which, as

449
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: I said earlier, gives the teenager the advantage. Your parents

450
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: were out of town, you put out the invitation, you

451
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: started it. Why don't you make a grown up decision

452
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: now and accept responsibility. Take off those glasses and apologize

453
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: to everybody that you frightened, to the police who were

454
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: forced to retreat and whose cars have been damaged, and

455
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 1: to the community who have had to pay for this.

456
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: Take your take a few glasses and apologize to us.

457
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: I'll say sorry, but I'm not taking all my glasses.

458
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: Why not because the famous? Because your glasses are famous. Now,

459
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: at this point, he's playing completely into his game, but

460
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: she still doesn't see it yet. She's still trying to

461
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: drag him into her adult world, but she doesn't understand

462
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: that she's just the foil to his world. She's going

463
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 1: to become a star on the internet as soon as

464
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: his interviews right, because he understands TV better than she does.

465
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: Why your glass is famous? I know everyone wats him. Sorry,

466
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: I know I'm not taking off. You're pretty happy with

467
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: the way you look and the attitude you've got, are you? Yeah?

468
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: My parents aren't, but I am. At this point, she

469
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: knows that she's lost. Right, she has to be seeing

470
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: the YouTube clip school before her eyes, and as she's

471
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: just trying to salvage what little dignity she can for

472
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: her professional life. Right, Okay, Cary, we've got to wrap

473
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: this up. But what would you say to other kids

474
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: who were thinking of partying when their parents are out

475
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: of town? Get me to do it for you. Get

476
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: you should do it for you, not don't do it na,

477
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: get made to do it for you. Best party ever

478
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: so far, That's what everyone's been saying. So and if

479
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: that's not enough, right, if he's hasn't just cemented like

480
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: his legacy, he's the perfect kicker for their interview, and

481
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: he's pretty make sure that the whole world talks about

482
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: his party, because the video from this interview becomes the

483
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: most watch video in January two eight around the world. Right,

484
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: no way, here's the last bit. Well, we've got to go,

485
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: but I suggest you go away and take a good, long,

486
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 1: hard look at yourself. I have everyone has I love it,

487
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: legend done, and just like that he became world famous.

488
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: You know that in Layla's mind, she thought she was

489
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: going to get the interview and chastise him and he'd

490
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: feel so bad and she gets to be the voice

491
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: of reason. And because I've seen that before when people

492
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 1: are sort of in emergency situations and they think they

493
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: can stop it and it's like they can't. Yeah, you

494
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: have to let nature play, not the bus. So now

495
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: I promised you that I tell you about when Corey's

496
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: parents got back. Yes, so they're still away at this point.

497
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: This is like we're sixty two hours before any real

498
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: contact between Corey and the parents. They get home, and

499
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: they get home in time for an interview. So within

500
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: forty eight hours he's been on the news. He's done

501
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: the live on air interview with Layla MacKinnon, which cements

502
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: his fame as the coolest teenager in Australia, if not

503
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: the world. And this means that his parents are watching

504
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: this from afar, watching their son become famous for trashing

505
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: their home and pissing off all their neighbors. Sixty two

506
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: hours later after the party, the parents finally make their

507
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: way onto the local news they've come home, Corey is gone,

508
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: and the news cameras are still at their house. So

509
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, you guys got a moment, right, So

510
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: the parents decided to do an interview because they're trying

511
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: to speak to their child. So they wanted to talk

512
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: to me through the TV interview. Right. So remember how

513
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: I said that stepdad Stephen Delaney was kind of a

514
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: villain from an eighties team movie Wait Till You Hear Him? Okay,

515
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: So when he's asked about his stepson Corey, staying away

516
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: from the family home, Stephen Delaney has a message for

517
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: his stepson, one that he shares with a local confused newscaster.

518
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: Have enough guts, just enough guts? Do you better show up?

519
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: Been plenty long enough. That's like his answer to a

520
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: question about what he wants. He just talked talking right up.

521
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: Y'all stayed way away during this, Like why didn't they

522
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: immediately come home when this happened. They were on a holiday,

523
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: they were at Sandals get their hair. This is the

524
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: teen comedy movie of it all. It's like the parents

525
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: should stay away. They're like, well, we did pay for

526
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: this vacation, so we're going to enjoy it. Honey, let's

527
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: go play shuffle board or whatever the hell they do. Now,

528
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: Corey's mother Joy, and she was far kinder in a

529
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: more motherly way, right, So she says, now, keep in

530
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: mind the stepfather trying to talk through the cameras at Corey, like, look,

531
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: you need to come home, like he would talk to

532
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: a like a kidnapper. Yes, exactly. The mother she's like,

533
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: more reasonable. So she's talking to the newscaster and she's saying,

534
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: I don't know where he is. Obviously we're keen to

535
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: get him back home. We need to work through this

536
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: with him and the police. We need to, you know,

537
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: sort everything out. Now. At this point, Corey has has

538
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: been refusing to answer any of their calls. They have

539
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: not spoken with him, and this is absolutely infuriating the stepfather.

540
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: So on the interviews, his his anger is just blindling out.

541
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: So when he gets asked about Corey, he's like his

542
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: arrogance that he's demonstrated and his blase has obviously been

543
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: happed up because all these mates on the side egging

544
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: him on. So now he's like, it's not just Corey's fault,

545
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: but all his friends he's got, these never do well

546
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: made Corey's stepdad, living trope that he is. He's also

547
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: focused on property over everything else. Right, he said, we've

548
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: got a home back to some semblance of order. We've

549
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: been very lucky hadn't been physically trashed. But it's been

550
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: I supposed to put the best word forward is it's

551
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: been violated. You know. Look, the condition of the house

552
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: was disgusting. Just no respect, no regard, no his mom. However,

553
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: he's like Australian Irish right now, he's he's moving around

554
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: a little bit, all right, so we will be free

555
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: to say his name is Delaney. What can I say,

556
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: Steve Delaney? How am I going to contain that kind

557
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: of understand? I understand. That's why I don't do these,

558
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: because I can't do if I can remember to speak

559
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: out of the side of my mouth and then the

560
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: accent will stay. But it's like get heated. It moved

561
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: to the center, and I'm like, oh, like a normal

562
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: human being good. It's good anyway, So Joeanne, she says,

563
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: a mother. He has to realize the damage he's created

564
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: and he has to take responsibility. Now, the local news

565
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: they give the stepfather the last word in this interview.

566
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: Right now, what do we think Stephen Delane, He's going

567
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: to say in his last oh my gosh, something like

568
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: a catch phrase from a John Hughes eighties movies. Johnes Right. Yeah,

569
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: so Stephen Delane, he says, he obviously plut himself on

570
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: public display, and he's gonna make himself a bit of

571
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: a sitting duck. He just has to stop what he's doing.

572
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: Just stop it, Just stop it, stop it. He doesn't

573
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: he wants to. I'm like, I reading a lot of

574
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: insight about his parenting style. Yeah. So, anyway, after staying

575
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: away for as long as he physically can, Corey if

576
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: actually has to return home, I guess his parents or

577
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: his friend's parents are like, look, Cary, you need to

578
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: go sat this at night. So he starts it out

579
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: with his mother and his stepfather, and then he gets

580
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: immediately to working on capitalizing his newfound fame. Of course,

581
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: he said, look, I gotta raise his twenty grand I

582
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: hope these people. So after this little short break, I

583
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: will tell you about how Corey capitalizes on his fame

584
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: and does everything WO would expect of a reality star. Perfect. So, Elizabeth,

00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: adult world they take a different response to Corey's fame,

605
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: and someone creates a website. It's like a flash animation

606
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: website for people who are irritated by this arrogant teenager, right,

607
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: And there is a digital version of Corey and it's

608
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: called slap Corey dot com equally gross. And the idea

609
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: was that if you quote want to slap some scents

610
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: into Cory, you had this enormous hand and you could

611
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: hit Corey, this flash animation Corey with his huge hand

612
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: and then be satisfied by that violence. I guess one

613
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: point one million plays after a few years of this

614
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: website being active. No longer is active. But there are

615
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: three kinds of people playing that. Okay, The first kind

616
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: opens the website season and it's like, ha ha ha,

617
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: good one and closes it. The second kind they say,

618
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: oh ha ha ha, they like one, two or three slaps,

619
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: never opens it again. And then there are the people

620
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: who need to be on a watch list because they're

621
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: sitting there and they're spending like eight twelve hours just

622
00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: repeatedly in a flashing Corey filming themselves lapping Corey, uploading

623
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: that on the discord. If I think that they should

624
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: have done some sort of regulation that if you were

625
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: logged into that page for more than thirty five seconds,

626
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: you're out of here. That I can see that playing

627
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: at mandatory curfew. And it's not like the curfews we

628
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: have today. I'm talking about an Alfred curfew. Am okay, Like, okay,

629
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: I just want someone to support my early bedtime. I'm

630
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: seeing that someone with power early bedtime too. I like that.

631
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't let myself indulge like that

632
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: very often. I'm sitting here waiting for the purple hour

633
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 1: when the light changes, when it's dawn, I'm like, time

634
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: to go to bed. I can see the light coming back.

635
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: You're like, I can see the light going away. Time

636
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: they got to bed. It's APM. That's why this summer

637
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: is so hard for me. I imagine. Okay, Well, back

638
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: to our man, Corey Worthington. He's become a DJ and uh,

639
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: as everyone knows, that is pretty much the sign of

640
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: the times we live in. And uh there's also something

641
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: he learns early, which is no such thing as bad

642
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: fame in this world. Yeah, so it pays to me

643
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: an arrogant and he becomes, uh, you know, pretty much

644
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: the owner of a small fortune very quickly. Within a

645
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: few months, he's got about two dollars. Then comes the

646
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: reality TV show Big Brothers, Like, Hey, you want to

647
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: be a contestant. So Corey gets to parlay his fame

648
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: into a spot in the Big Brother House and that

649
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: he's By the way, can you guess how much you're

650
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: getting paid per episode? To bears? Thousand dollars per episode. Ye,

651
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: people will sell their souls for ten grand an episode.

652
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: But unfortunately the his time didn't last long because he

653
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: was one of the first people voting out. Surprised, after

654
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: nineteen days in the house, he got booted. Apparently everyone

655
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,959
Speaker 1: else in the show thought he was an arrogant out

656
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 1: So around the same time, we're now up to about

657
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: two eight, he gets famous. In January, we're in eight

658
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: so Corey is back to work on his DJ lessons

659
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: and he's getting ready he debuts. By the way, when

660
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: he started Big Brother, he debuted his first track. He

661
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: had an electro dance song ready for listeners that he

662
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: had as his intro music when he walked onto the

663
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: Big Brothers set. That was the first taste of what

664
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: he was gonna do. Can you guess what he did

665
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: for his elector I'll give you a hint. It's a

666
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: it's a cover song. Help, oh, it's a cover What

667
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: did he cover? The band? You like the Beastie boys,

668
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: right to party? How fast? Come on? Man? He's going

669
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: to a mediocre DJ school. Oh very much so, and

670
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: also partnering with very questionable business partners. So the song

671
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: quote was released exclusively on you Me now dot com

672
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: and three Mobile. That's where we all get all of

673
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: our best music. According to the promo materials that I

674
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: found for this songs release quote, there have been extreme responses.

675
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: Is seven Senior all Corey Worthington mainly long a generational lines.

676
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: Corey Worthington embodies traditional teenage rebellion, but played out in

677
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: a new arena. Web two point oh my space was

678
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: used to publicize the party. YouTube spread the video worldwide,

679
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: and now you Me Now users are expanding and merchandizing

680
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: the Cory story. Merchandising the Corey story. Corey spent the

681
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: last few months completing local and international filming commitments and

682
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: also watching doing a Corey enter the lexicon as teenagers

683
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: host out out of control parties throughout the world. Hey guys,

684
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: what are you doing over there? I'm just doing a

685
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: Corey dropping a Cory here in the bathroom, setting the

686
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: Corey loose in the pool. So after that cover song

687
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: in his short time a big brother Corey Worthington. He's

688
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: got to keep this fame snowball rolling. So what's he

689
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: gonna do next? Release an energy drink? He doesn't add

690
00:37:54,360 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: for Australian insurance companies the Hottest Tea. They're all doing

691
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: insurance exactly. It's real like an Airbnb style rental company.

692
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: So one of the executives, chief marketing officer, Brent smart

693
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: Brand from I A G. He says, which is the

694
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: parent company that owns this insurance company. He defended the

695
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: casting of Corey and some media and so I saw him.

696
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: He had this choice quote and I quote Corey has

697
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: first hand experience when it comes to throwing an epic

698
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: house party, and in the ad for it, Corey tells

699
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: the potential customers quote, guests can get out of control.

700
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: And now I should know if that's not corn if

701
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: that's not cheesy and corny enough for you. Corey later

702
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: on says, and I quote, you nevern now what your

703
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: guests are gonna get up to, what shenanigans are going

704
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: to go down? And you spa, the last thing you

705
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: want is to play your guest holiday to become your headache.

706
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: He's now a responsible party thrower. Five months. Here's the thing,

707
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 1: Like I can see like, on one hand, this ad

708
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: campaign worked because check it out, we're talking about it,

709
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: but really is anyone watching it? And me like I

710
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: was kind of on the fence. And then old Corey

711
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: because if they can handle Corey's mayhem, they can handle

712
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: my sun Barry. He's hot property. If they got Corey

713
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: for an ad, they must be cool. Exactly on in

714
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: case you were wondering, he was still wearing the same

715
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: yellow sunglasses because of course that's what he how he

716
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: could be famous. Otherwise he looked like just about didn't

717
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: need the Australian teenage boy. Yeah, blonde hair, Yeah, glasses

718
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: are famous. That he knew it, He knew why he

719
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: was famous. Right. So time passes on, as it does

720
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: for all people and all things. Eventually, his fame his sunglasses.

721
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: It loses some of his luster and uh, he basically

722
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: becomes an inspiration for art at this point, so his

723
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: fame gets milked one more time. He becomes the inspiration

724
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: for the aforementioned to film project X. Not the Matthew

725
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: Broderick Let's Free Them, not the really good project X. No,

726
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: it was a party movie. Now and true Deformed. That

727
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: film became most illegally down loaded film on BitTorrent, so

728
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: keeping you know, revolutionary radical. There was one more epic

729
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: free for all in Corey's Future by Corey Worthington once

730
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: again emerges from the ether of his former fame or

731
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: whatever it is, and he becomes the pitch promo man

732
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: for Clean Slate, so for for Father's Day holiday that

733
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: year in Australia. This company discovers that Australians, about sevent

734
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 1: of them, believe that they have something that they would

735
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: like to admit to their father. They'd like to clean

736
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: the slate so to speak, right, something bad that they've

737
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 1: done and that they would like to you know, like dad.

738
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: No and Father's Day. Apparently the data is ruined with

739
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 1: the confession. So the now heavily tattooed former team party

740
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: boy has a hand tattoo that says not sorry this man.

741
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: He takes his stepdad on a private plane and then

742
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: they're on the end. He apologizes for all the stuff

743
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: he'd put him through. A long last Yes, his step dad,

744
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: Stephen Delaney, his days like all right. So apparently they

745
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: they can't get past. Clean Slate is a clean slate. Yeah,

746
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: so at this point he's still a party planner. No

747
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: word on his DJ career. I haven't seen any new

748
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: releases lately, but he's so. He was working on an

749
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: app for party planning last we heard from him, but

750
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: his promised app he's yet to come to be. Well,

751
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: that's better than what I was kind of anticipating you

752
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: were going to tell me. I thought it was going

753
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 1: to be like in that Penguin movie, every time Morgan

754
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: Freeman would start a seeing sadly, I just I didn't

755
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: want to hear anything beyond that. I only saw like

756
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: little bits to that sadly. Oh, I'm noping out of that.

757
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: So I thought you were going now sadly and I'd

758
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: have to be like gritting through it. Well, sadly. We

759
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: come to the end of this tale, But I have

760
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: one last brush with Fameen Corey showed up as a

761
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: competitor on Australia's Ninjia. Well, yeah, yes, and that was

762
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: the last time he stood in the spotlight. He did well,

763
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: competed well, but he ended up falling in the water,

764
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 1: got disqualified. But man, what a hell of a run

765
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: for just for epic teenage party that's incredible, pretty good, right,

766
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: I figured that's ridiculous, really, definitely ridiculous from one kid

767
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: to get that much of a run off of throwing

768
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: a hell of a party. Well, Elisabeth, what's a ridiculous takeaway?

769
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: I think a couple of things. One, everyone has to

770
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: have a good pair of sunglasses to be your famous

771
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: sunglasses if everything falls apart. Two, let's all be DJ's

772
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: because apparently it's not that hard. And uh three, if

773
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: you're a parent and you've got a little wild boy

774
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: in the house, don't leave my home. Okay, I think

775
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: I think those are all fair. The last one I

776
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: take issue with As a former wild boy, I think

777
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: you have to disco. Look, anything you do is going

778
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: to be on you make I'm responsible or on. That's

779
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: what my family did, so I knew that I had

780
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: to be able to get away with it. It wasn't

781
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: just that I had to do it. I'd be able

782
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: to get away with it. So that's what Corey thought.

783
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: He didn't really cover they when we talked about this.

784
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: Often with our criminals, it's not just the crime, but

785
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: you gotta have a plan for how you're going to

786
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: get away with it. But I think he also kind

787
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: of encapsulates the whole. What I think must be terrifying

788
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: to parents, especially of teens, is when the kid says, well,

789
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: what are you going to do about it? And then

790
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: the parent has to reckon with the fact that well

791
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: what am I Yeah that was so in this case

792
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: it had to escalate to I'm gonna we're gonna turn

793
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: dogs line, We're going to go to go to violence,

794
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: which cool nature violence, But I think there's that moment.

795
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: I think that when kids find out what are you

796
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: gonna do about it, and the parents are like yeah, yeah.

797
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: That's my takeaways basically what Lela McKinnon learned on Live

798
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: on TV. Don't go after a teenager unless you have

799
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: a plan. Kids, I've got this, I'm older, I'm wiser

800
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 1: thing you never thought about. They live in a world

801
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: you don't know exists exactly exactly got to be wiser

802
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: than that. Well, the other question for you is would

803
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: you qualify Corey Worthington in as official ridiculous crime approved

804
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: rude dude? Oh totally now, he I think in the

805
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: rude dude battalions, he's kind of over off to the

806
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: side because rude did in general like in the billy

811
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 1: in our family some like fringe elements who get act out.

812
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: We love them. They're a little bit wild, but they're

813
