<v Speaker 3>one hundred thousand dollars. Stephen Curry, who has been entertaining

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Australian audiences since his iconic performance is Dale Kerrigan in

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 3>the classic Ausio movie The Castle, stepped very comfortably into

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 3>the hosting role alongside pymedian Becky Lucas. I will ask

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Stephen Curry about the show's similarities to Lego Masters and

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 3>if Hamish Blake was an influence at all. Whilst interacting

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 3>with the ten balloon technicians. Stephen will also talk about

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 3>his early career and we'll find out what his current

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 3>relationship looks like with the movie The Castle, which was

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 3>released decades ago. We will discuss how Stephen Curry got

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 3>along with Becky Lucas on set and if some of

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 3>her pranks went too far. Plus we'll also get plenty

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 3>of exclusives from behind the scenes of blow Up, which,

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 3>as I mentioned Monday Night. Anyway, let's bring Stephen Curry

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 3>into the podcast and guys, I really hope you enjoy

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 3>this episode of tea he reload. Hey, Stephen, how are

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 3>you very excited to be talking to you? I have

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 3>to start off by saying something really odd. And I

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.359
<v Speaker 3>was traveling yesterday and just in case the interview was

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 3>going to be yesterday, I wasn't sure when it was

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 3>going to be. I was traveling with my podcast gear

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 3>through the airport and the man stopped me, thinking my

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 3>podcast gear was a bomb.

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 2>He was like, oh.

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 3>Podcasting, you know, are you interviewing Steven? And I just

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 3>looked at this person. I was like, what, how, Like

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 3>he's obviously some kind of bizarre bomb checking psychic. Anyway,

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 3>He's like, no, this guy Stephen from Jackass has just

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 3>gone through check in and I thought you must have

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 3>been here in Tasmania to interview Stephen.

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like, that is the weirdest connection.

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, that's all here Stephen, Oh Steve.

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know his name. I mean, I'm not a

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Jackass fan. He sat on the plane right behind me,

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 3>and he stupidly, you know, caught a jet stup plane

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 3>with all the fans that had come to Tazzy to

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 3>see him. So I could work out who he was

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 3>based on all the sicker fans just staring at him

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:02.519
<v Speaker 3>the whole flight.

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 4>Right, people trying to people trying to shave his head

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 4>from behind. And he's the dude who likes to basically

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.639
<v Speaker 4>it's atch electrical things to his nut.

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Well that's what I was.

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 3>Probably not for me. I mean, I like to do

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 3>nicer things to that part of the anatomy. But I

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 3>just you know, it seems strange to me that this

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 3>man would even go to Tasmania and do a live

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 3>show Like what I didn't ask, but what would he

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 3>be doing in front of an audience.

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 4>Ah, it's pretty ranked stuff, some really ranked stuff.

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>He basically yeah, his nipples, his nipples and his scrotum.

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 4>It's a wonder they even still exist. That's all I

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 4>know about.

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, anyway, we're here to talk about blow Up, which

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 3>I think is actually a really great name for a

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 3>show that you're hosting as your career.

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, really had to blow up when you were

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 2>just a kid?

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Nice eguae, I like that.

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Three days to work it out?

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, No, everything interesting. Well, I was twenty years

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 4>old when the car all came about, and I've been

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 4>sort of yeah, kind of knocking around a bit since

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 4>I was about third and just kind of I started

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 4>outing extra work actually and did about a year or

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 4>so of that and hated it, absolutely hated it and

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 4>felt like I was just what we were doing and

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 4>you've kind of getting elbowed out of the way in

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 4>group scenes in commercials and stuff from thinking is this

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 4>is this the life I want for myself? And then

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 4>did a couple of sort of you know, speaking roles,

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.359
<v Speaker 4>and did a terrible sitcom in early nineties on Channel

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:29.919
<v Speaker 4>ten called Late to School, which.

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Kind of didn't go anywhere.

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 4>But then, yeah, The Castle come about when I was

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 4>about twenty. I was playing a fourteen year old, but

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 4>I was twenty. It's one of the joys of being

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 4>a late developer.

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.920
<v Speaker 3>I can't believe that that's the age difference of you

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 3>in real life to that character. I think of that

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 3>character being the same age I think I was when

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 3>that film came out.

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm forty seven, but now I look likely apparently I.

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Look like I'm in my fifty I'm the youngest.

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.919
<v Speaker 4>Of five, and I'm constantly being mistaken to the oldest.

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:56.559
<v Speaker 4>It's stuck.

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know what's.

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 3>Really funny about talking about The Castle is I actually

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 3>think in another show that you've got launching this week,

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 3>which is Ten Pound Poms, you kind of are a

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 3>bit like your dad from the Castle in some ways

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 3>in the way that your accent is. And I'm like, this,

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 3>this has gone full circle. I mean, is this a

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 3>coincidence that you're doing this?

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you don't say that too loud because Caiton

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 4>will want to cut.

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't want Michael.

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:27.279
<v Speaker 4>Caton thinking that I'm ripping off his gear. No interestingly enough,

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 4>but that's that's a good indication of how long it's

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 4>beens has been made. The Castle Cayton was only two

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 4>years older than I am now will be made built.

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 3>There's some similarity. I mean, I just watched four episodes

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 3>in a row last night of Ten Pound Poms, and

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 3>I just I kept looking at my partner and I'm like,

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 3>did you can you see the can you see the connection?

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 3>He's like, I can, I can? I can really see this.

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.799
<v Speaker 4>Not the least of which is The Dirty Mustad as well.

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.479
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, when I digress, because you know, we're not really

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 3>talking about that show right now, but I have to

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 3>ask you about growing up in front of Australia. Was

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 3>it hard to be somebody who people sort of had

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 3>some ownership over it, because the Castle is loved by

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 3>Australian audiences.

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah it is.

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look kind of one of those things. I think.

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 4>You don't bite the handed ford, You've got to be

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.039
<v Speaker 4>very I've just kind of always been extremely thankful for

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.239
<v Speaker 4>the kind of the good fortune.

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 1>That I have received in my life.

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 4>And you know, you work hard at your job and

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 4>all that sort of stuff, but you do need in

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 4>my industry, you need, you need a help. You goes

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 4>to luck be able to have something like the Castle,

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, come up pretty you know, very early in

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 4>my career. It's it's I'm so fortunate, I think. To

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:43.039
<v Speaker 4>complain about people being so having such ownership and having

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 4>such a love for that film, I think would be

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 4>pretty shortsighted, you know. You know, I probably realistically can

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 4>attribute a lot of.

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 1>My subsequent career to the success of that film.

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 3>I speak to people all the time and they will

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 3>be like, this moment in their career that really started it,

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 3>and it's what they're known for, and they won't talk

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 3>about it.

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's it.

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 4>I think there's a certain pride that comes along with

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 4>it that I maybe I don't have it, but it's

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 4>not and I don't mean that, but I don't mean

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 4>that in terms of like I take pride in my work.

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 1>But I think that kind of idea is, you know,

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the pride that comes before or fall kind of pride.

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, the sort of the needed connotation to pride.

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, I've never wanted to do anything

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>else in my life.

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 4>And I'm quite frankly and this is not this is

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 4>not being self deprecating. I have no other skills. I

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 4>think that's part of my thankfulness for it. And that's

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 4>why for the last twenty seven years, when people come

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 4>past it in buses and yat or.

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Whatever, how's they.

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>How's the serenity? Or when they get the line wrong and.

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 4>They say, how's the serendipity or something like that, I actually,

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 4>every time I do appreciate it because it's kind of

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 4>like cool man, It's okay, because very.

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Rarely have people come out to me they hated it.

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 4>Almost invariably you have people coming up saying, you know,

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 4>how much it means to them or to their family

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 4>or to you know, how reminiscent Darryl Kerrigan is of

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 4>their dad or Dale is it their brother.

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Or traity is of their sister or whatever.

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 4>And it's such a testament to working dog that they're

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 4>basically created this film and you won't find these very often, right,

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 4>A successful comedy, successful family comedy which gets almost all of.

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Us comedy out of how much a family loves each other.

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing.

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 3>If you say that you don't like the film, you're

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 3>immediately deported from the country.

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 2>So that's probably why that's right there.

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.559
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of people who have told.

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.439
<v Speaker 4>Me that they instantly when when someone comes from overseas

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 4>before they mentioned drop bears, they make them watch the

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:51.719
<v Speaker 4>cartrow and if they don't laugh at the castle, then

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.679
<v Speaker 4>they mention the drop bears and they kick them out

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 4>of the house. And I think it's a bit harsh.

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 2>What's the opposite of straight to the pullroom.

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.959
<v Speaker 4>It's telling his dream and if he thinks he's sticking

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 4>around whatever, But yeah, but it is. It's good. It's

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 4>such a part of an acula and Australians have such

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 4>subtensive ownership over it. But are you know, I'm just

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 4>super proud of that. And you know, again, as I say,

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.839
<v Speaker 4>it's such a testament to working dogs who created who

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.199
<v Speaker 4>created this thinguish which it feels like in fifty years

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 4>time it's going to be as loved as it is there.

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, you know, I always like your comedy. I always

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.199
<v Speaker 3>like your ability to make us laugh and your earnestness.

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 3>This series, I think you do a great job of

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.080
<v Speaker 3>not taking the whole ballooning too seriously. You kind of

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 3>sit between these balloon nuts and us as an audience

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 3>thinking they're balloon nuts, and so you're kind of in

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 3>the middle of that.

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 4>That's a good way I'm looking at it. I mean,

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.439
<v Speaker 4>Becky Lucas and myself, who you know, my proos that

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 4>is absolutely sensational and hilarious and a brilliant human being.

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 4>Where our job is to kind of do that. I

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.559
<v Speaker 4>guess we're the conduit between the audience and the and

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.359
<v Speaker 4>the expert artist, and they are they are absolutely incredibly

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 4>talented artist. There are subcultures, there are subculture, and the

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 4>balloon subculture is you know, it's kind of been in

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 4>the shadows for a long time. To actually reveal the

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 4>skill and the artistry and the talent of all of

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 4>our artists is so incredible, but it's sort of through

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 4>the lens I guess through our lens, and.

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>We know about as much about ballooning balloon artistry as

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>any of the audience.

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Members, you know, So that is for us that was

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 4>important to be able to kind of learn as we

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 4>go to present these guys, you know, as respectfully as possible,

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 4>but also have a.

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Bit of fun with them and just try not to

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>slow them down.

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 2>To him, I mean, what.

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 3>Sort of conversation do you have with producers when you

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 3>come to a project like this.

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 4>They basically, they said, we got car, we had carte

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.680
<v Speaker 4>blanche to basically, you know, to have a bit of fun.

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:49.680
<v Speaker 4>It's about showing respect but also providing entertainment. We don't

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 4>want to you know, these artists are they're in a

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 4>competition and there's one hundred grand on the line, and

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 4>so it's not about us getting in their way and

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 4>affecting their chances of winning.

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>It's basically about us.

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 2>And this is the start.

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.679
<v Speaker 4>From the start, they said, your job is basically keep

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 4>the show moving, keep us laughing, but don't blow anyone down.

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 4>And again, whether we achieve that or not might be

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 4>up to a viewer to decide.

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Were you worried at all that you would be too

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 3>similar to Hamish Blake on Lego Masters, and I know

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 3>that's not a different network, and maybe Hamish Blake's Lego

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Masters was just a long audition to be on blow Up.

0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.560
<v Speaker 3>But I was wondering about your consciousness of a show

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.160
<v Speaker 3>like that being quite similar.

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't know who this Hamish Blake person is

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>or what this show Lego Masters as you speak of.

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 4>Look, of course, the of course, the comparisons are inevitable,

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 4>and I guess we've tried to make it as original

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 4>as possible, and all of these shows, they're kind of

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 4>reinventing the wheels.

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>There's no kind of you know, there's no new idea

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 1>and reality.

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 4>But I think in terms of what this art form

0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.599
<v Speaker 4>is and what the materials they're using here is the

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 4>artful is something that so few people have been outside of,

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, balloon dogs, pirates, swords and stuff. It's such

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.679
<v Speaker 4>and it's such an original material to be working with

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.559
<v Speaker 4>that I guess you'd say that it's the same as

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Master Chef. You know, you could say that it's the

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 4>same as any kind of these these studio game shows,

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:22.079
<v Speaker 4>but the big difference for us is that these are professional.

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:27.080
<v Speaker 4>So Master Chef they're amated chef, amated cooks, lego masters,

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 4>they're they're they're.

0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Amated lego technicians.

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:36.440
<v Speaker 4>These guys in our competition are all industry professionals battling

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 4>it out to be the best industry professional.

0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's kind of we have to keep that in

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 1>mind that they're you know that they are. This is

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 1>their livelihood.

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 4>And it's and you know, the work they're put in

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 4>over the years is so indelible and is so clear

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 4>when you see the results on the screen.

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:56.839
<v Speaker 1>It's really something phenomenal.

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.679
<v Speaker 3>It's a great cast. They're a lot of fun and

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to know from you, were you surprised that

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 3>there was so many balloon artists in Australia.

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 2>You know that we're able to be talented all together.

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, look, I was surprised at that, and then having

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 4>met them, there.

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Are more, you know, there are more lurking way to go.

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 4>And we've got a lot of the balloon technicians that

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 4>we had behind the scenes on our show were people

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.320
<v Speaker 4>who auditioned for the show too, and they're all incredibly

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.920
<v Speaker 4>talented artists, you know, in their own right, but there

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 4>was only room for ten, so, you know, the exciting

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 4>thing is that once the show he gets on board with.

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>This and sees the possibilities of balloon art.

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.440
<v Speaker 4>I think you know, subsequent theories are going to have

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 4>not only you know, established industry professionals, but hopefully people

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.559
<v Speaker 4>who've been inspired by the show and get on board

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:49.559
<v Speaker 4>and have a go themselves.

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Did you try and make anything yourself? Like?

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 3>Can you walk away? Have you away from this experience now?

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 3>Being like I can build?

0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, here's the thing.

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 4>Before I went in there, I had no I could

0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.360
<v Speaker 4>make nothing. I couldn't even make.

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>A balloon dog.

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.319
<v Speaker 4>Now that I've hosted this show, I can not even

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 4>make a balloon dog. It's incredible simple how little I

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.960
<v Speaker 4>have learnt. In fact, I probably know less about twisting now.

0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 4>And Chris odamo our balloon expert, try to teach me

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 4>how to make a monkey and fail. Zacky Lucas to

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 4>make a balloon dog. She tried to teach me that

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:29.840
<v Speaker 4>and fails. I'm pretty sure I'm Australia's worst BALLOONA.

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 3>That was on the audition for this show, wasn't it.

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 3>You just were like, I think I'd be great because

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 3>I am the worst ballooning person.

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 2>The worst in the country.

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 4>There's a subsequent series. We're on the search for Australia's

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 4>worst balloona so I don't know. I might be in

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 4>with a chat.

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 3>People watching this show can walk away with the best

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 3>and the worst of what the country can do with ballooning.

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Great, agree, that's right? What is something?

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.320
<v Speaker 3>This is something I ask everyone, by the way, who

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 3>joins the podcast. This is episode two hundred and fifty six,

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 3>so I think it's good time to reask the same question.

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 3>What is something from behind the scenes of blow up?

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 3>Something that we won't see, kind of like a behind

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 3>the scenes secrets.

0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 4>M Becky Lucas understood very early on that I am

0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 4>scared of clown Oh and this show revealed that I

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 4>made the mistake of revealing it. So God lover, and

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 4>she's a good friend of mine, but she spent a

0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 4>long time, you might say, too much time trying to

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 4>freak me out by hiding clowns in my dressing room

0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 4>and at one point, and at one point somebody even

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 4>dressed up as a clown and surprised me in my

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 4>dressing room, which you know, I love you, Becky, but

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 4>you freaked me out. And I'm now sitting in.

0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:46.119
<v Speaker 1>A dark room, rocking back and talk slowly recovery.

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 3>She's been fined for season two. Anyone that they bring

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 3>back to replace her will definitely not bring any clowns,

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 3>not one.

0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that would be great.
