1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: This is jem Nation.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 2: We're Jones.

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Tom Gleason has a new Hard Quiz Live showing Sydney,

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: THEA and Moore. He's also up for the Gold LOGI

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday. He joins us Now, Hello.

6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: Tom, good morning, thanks for having me on.

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: We've spoken to a couple of people who are up

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: for the Gold this year, and all of them said

9
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: that it's been a big loving that it's just been

10
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: so nice and loving. Why wasn't it like this a

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. I'm furious. I'm not really furious,

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: but where was the love? Why couldn't it have been loving?

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 3: Oh there was a lot of love, But I show

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 3: my love in a very strange way.

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 2: But would you agree, Tom, People, you know.

16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 3: They like to take the piss out of their mates,

17
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: So that's the way I say it.

18
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 4: Would you agree Tom that back in twenty nineteen it

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 4: was a different time. In twenty nineteen, we didn't know

20
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 4: about a pandemic, we didn't know about anything, and now

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 4: people appreciate stuff like this.

22
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's right.

23
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: It's been three years, and so I think everyone's just

24
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: a is that there's a party to go to.

25
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: Of any description. So maybe maybe we're less fussy than

26
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: we used to be.

27
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: And I see that just in the way the logis

28
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: are written about. There's less cynicism about them. People are saying, oh,

29
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, they're cheesy, there, this and that, but you've

30
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: got to love them, whereas a couple of years ago,

31
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: I think the press didn't feel like that about the logis.

32
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: So it's the perfect storm of love in which is

33
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: very irritating for me.

34
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: I know everyone's on your page now, Amanda.

35
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: I know I was there a couple of years ago.

36
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: Boom.

37
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: Well, look, we will see you on Sunday. Jonesy and

38
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: I both got going to be there. Have you got

39
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: your Backlas evening strap ready to go?

40
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: Oh this is going to really irritate you, Amanda. But

41
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 3: I'm going to wear exactly the same suit that I

42
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: wore last time, and to the previous one and to

43
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: the same logans for about ten years.

44
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: Oh see, men, it's so easy for men. Flat shoes,

45
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: no spanks just isn't fair.

46
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna wear spanks and flat shoes.

47
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: I'm not even changing the cuff links, exactly the same.

48
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: I hope you change the undies. So let's talk about

49
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: hard quiz live. How does it work on a stage?

50
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: Well, we do the quiz you know, live on stage,

51
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: but I select the contestants out of the audience. So

52
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: what I do is we get four subjects that we

53
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: run with that night, and then I choose the best

54
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: person in the room. So you know, we might say,

55
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 3: you know, tonight we're going to run with the Rolling Stones,

56
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 3: who's the biggest Rolling Stones fan in the theater? There's

57
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 3: one and a half thousand people to choose from. You're

58
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: going to get one. So to this point, I've been

59
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 3: having to beat people back. There's usually I'm usually spoke

60
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 3: for choice. There's a lot of people trying to get

61
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: on stage.

62
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: Right, and you don't choose highly specific like you know,

63
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: who's into wankeled rotary engines or something. You go with

64
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: a more generic kind of category.

65
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, we try to make it a bit more broad.

66
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: You know.

67
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: Often we make one subject out of the for a

68
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: bit strange because we've got you know, they're big theaters,

69
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 3: so we can usually find somebody to do it. But yeah,

70
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: most people are just very excited to get on stage

71
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: and play the game. Weirdly enough, in a more of

72
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 3: a low pressure setting because it's not on television, so

73
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 3: it's not going to get broadcasts. So let's just say

74
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: the contestants can I found they can be a little

75
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: bit more bulshy, They could be far more.

76
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 4: Agra so they give it back to you a bit.

77
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they line up to do it.

78
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 3: But it can be tricky picking people out of the

79
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: audience too, because sometimes I can't see at a showing camera.

80
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 3: I thought that I was getting a woman called Ellie

81
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: from the back row because I wanted to get people

82
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: from the back of the theater. But as this person

83
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: walked close to the stage, I realized it was an

84
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 3: eleven year old boy called Elliott.

85
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: Oh that was a bit.

86
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 4: Tricky, and you can't take a part of eleven year

87
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: old kid, it just looks bad.

88
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: Well I did, I did.

89
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: I did call and spoilt at one stage, But he

90
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: seemed quite happy with that. He seemed it seemed like

91
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: a badge of honor to him. He had a big

92
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: grin on his face and he had a hard Quiz

93
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: Live t shirt on, so he was he was a

94
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: big fan.

95
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: And he actually said he gave me a few cents too.

96
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: What was in for?

97
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: That's for sure? Well, I'm looking forward to you at

98
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 4: the ladies. I just noticed on the sports bed. You're

99
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 4: paying eleven dollars to win. That's some good money. But

100
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: Hamish Blake is paying a dollar eighty. Me thinks that

101
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: someone's spilt who's already won this thing.

102
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: No, you can vote. You vote right up until the

103
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: end of the red carpet.

104
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 4: No like eleven dollars. Imagine you get a bit of

105
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 4: Tom Glees in action there. Your wife and kids won't

106
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 4: be singing for their supper.

107
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: Well, this is the problem, James.

108
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 3: When I won last time, it proved that it wasn't

109
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: rigged because nobody wanted me to win. So therefore the

110
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 3: voting system must be legitimate. And also, I can give

111
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 3: you an exclusive. I actually bet on myself when I

112
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 3: was out at thirty to one or something, before I

113
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: was even nominated. I used my own inside knowledge to

114
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: bet on myself. So if I win, I'm going to

115
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: be collecting thirty thirty In the thirty dollars thirty to one, I.

116
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: Reckon WHOA wow, how much you put on there? Well,

117
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: I think the maximum winnings is two hundred dollars.

118
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: We're not going to say on your teeth it wasn't.

119
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 4: Some of that a B C Largess Was it, Tom,

120
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: It wasn't.

121
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: I just used to cap charge it for cash to

122
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: someone at the airport.

123
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 4: Well, Tom, it's always great to talk to you. Hard
