1
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: The biggest thing we've ever been a part of.

2
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: We didn't even do, didn't organize it, weren't the main act.

3
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 3: It's a guy called Rick. He just out of the blue.

4
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 2: This guy just started calling the radio show pretending to

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: be other people and then at the right moment would

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: reveal that it was in fact him, Rick Jonathan.

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: Worst time for a parent to rock up. What happened?

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 3: Is this beardroom related?

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 4: Yeah?

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, go on Jonathan.

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: At that point.

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: All the time, he just kept doing that. He did

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 3: that six times.

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: And he became a viral sensation that people started following

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: us all over the world.

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 2: We've been back from holiday for about three weeks now,

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: so we just don't know what's going on, and.

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: We want you guys to know that we Woody and

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: I genuinely have none idea what's going on.

20
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: We think the producers no more than us.

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 4: Though I have my reservations about you calling him, and

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 4: I did say that earlier today, but I know you're

23
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 4: I know you're very.

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: Easy, well everybody else, and I think we just need

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: to we just got to hear from the horse's mouth,

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: but we need to put it to bed.

27
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 3: Because I really scared.

28
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: This is a trap. Will, I'm really scared this is

29
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: a trap. Maybe this is what he wants. I don't know,

30
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: but I agree. I think we have to call because

31
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: I'm sick of just sitting around.

32
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: Okay, we've got his number. Obviously, I don't know whether

33
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: this is one of the dummy phones. Is this one

34
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: of the burners that he used? I don't know.

35
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 3: No one knows what the real phone is.

36
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: But do you think this is the actual phone? Like

00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: number zero.

46
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: Is he angry? He's angry? L J?

47
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 3: What's well? Do you want to ask LJ?

48
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: What do you want to do? Well?

49
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: Yes, I do want to ask LJ because I'm still

50
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: I'm well, I'm just I'm confused. I'm feeling bad that

51
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: he done something to maybe anger him.

52
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: We need to tell the audience what's going on here.

53
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: So we've got producer LJA in the studio here.

54
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 4: Well, just to clarify, that was Rick's number. That is

55
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 4: a number I've text him on numerous times, had conversations

56
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: with him numerous times.

57
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: At that point, did he get angry or not want

58
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,279
Speaker 3: to get involved.

59
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: Because he had a big theory in the podcast for

60
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: a long time that he was a spy.

61
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 4: There was a bit of cat and mouse towards the

62
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: end of the year, wasn't there where you were sort

63
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 4: of pranking him? And and he just went deathly silently.

64
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: Yes.

65
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 4: So as producers, we came back this year and went,

66
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 4: how can we progress this? Let's have some fun with Rick.

67
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 4: So I reached out. First of all, Rick, over the

68
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 4: Christmas period had realized his notoriety. He'd realized what a

69
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: phenomenon he was. Of course, with popularity comes the price.

70
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: Ah No, why he started putting money on his appearances.

71
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: How much?

72
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 4: Well, the first sentence was shown me some dollars or

73
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: see what we can do. Wow, he's commercializing his own

74
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: bit essentially. Okay, all right, so he's not just going

75
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: to make a surprise appearance. And one of the brilliant

76
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 4: parts of what he was doing was Conningo's prods, So

77
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 4: we didn't want to remove that either. So I was

78
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 4: like Rick, I hear you. If you want to show

79
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: up at any time in our show the.

80
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: Next sort it out.

81
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 4: Doesn't appear, I'll give him a call by Rick. What's

82
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 4: going on? Ah, just busy, busy, busy. Well, we've got

83
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: a new idea, Rick. What what we'd really love to

84
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: do is have you, wherever you are in the world,

85
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 4: fly into Melbourne and we'll put you in situations with

86
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: the boys where you are in the physical vicinity of them.

87
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: They won't know. We'll get you in the studio, they

88
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: will never know that you're in the room. But you're

89
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: going to get the biggest one upon them. He again

90
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: throws in the dollars.

91
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 3: Did you offer a fe I put.

92
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: A number on it. Not only did I put a

93
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 4: number on it, but I also offered him flights and accommodation.

94
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, that hasn't happened, has it.

95
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 3: But you're not about to tell us that he's been.

96
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: In here, are you?

97
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: Well?

00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 4: No, I'm joking. He hasn't.

102
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: He's been in the ven No, definitely.

103
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 4: No, No, anyway, I gave him a couple of nights

104
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 4: to think about it, called him bike and I really

105
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 4: hate to pull the curtain.

106
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: Down on there. He just doesn't want to. He had

107
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 3: a good time, He had a good too much time.

108
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 4: He doesn't want his face ree. He doesn't want anyone

109
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 4: to ever know who is tip of the cap.

110
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you for the for a wild ride.

Speaker 2: gone and now I'm done with it.

115
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: A champion bows out on top?

116
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: Fair enough? We can we pay him to do one chat?

117
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: Can we?

118
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: Do?

119
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: We have a budget? Pop pants? What's the budget? I'm

120
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: willing to pay him a thousand bucks? But just one

123
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: minute chat? Though? What a five minute phone calls? I

124
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: just want to have like a normal conversation with him

125
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: and just be.

126
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 4: Like I feel like I feel like this is a

127
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 4: scenario where you've been dumped and.

128
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 3: You can't It feels a bit like that. It feels

129
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: like that him one more time. I want to sleep

130
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,560

00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 3: That doesn't It definitely feels like that.

134
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we just need to And that's why

135
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: that's why we're all clinging on to him so much,

136
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: because because he got in there, had an amazing bit,

137
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: he made magic for the whole world, and then he

138
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: just bowed out. You know, we ever come back there,

139
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: wants to go and tend to his flock in a

140
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: in a in a back paddic somewhere. He does, wants

141
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: to be found again.

00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: He's Daniel d Lewis.

Speaker 1: He's Daniel day Lewis. He won his third Oscar and

144
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,120

00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: and be a dressmaker.

146
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 3: And I respect the hell out of that. I think
