1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: All right, now, we are very excited about this. Gladiators

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: is returning to our TV screens in twenty twenty four

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: on Channel ten, and the Goat of Netbull, Liz Ellis

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: is hosting along with Bo. That would be your gladiator

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: name the Goat, as long as everyone understands what you know.

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: Well, you know there's the big pyramid that's part of

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: the Gladiator set. So go would actually do well up

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 2: on pyramid. Don't give myself.

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 3: The game, you're what we can do it for you.

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 4: Yeah. Thanks, guys, that's a bit awkward. Hi, I'm the Goat.

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 4: That's good on your dude.

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: Miss When you were a tacker in the nineties, did

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: you watch the nineties version?

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: I love that you think I might have been attacker

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: in the nineties. That's just the nicest thing anyone said

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: to me today. So you know, everyone's like, oh, when

17
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: I was a kid, I grew up watching Gladiators in

18
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 2: the nineties. I was grown up.

19
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 4: So but I did watch it.

20
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: I loved it right, and I can't wait when I

21
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: heard it was coming back.

22
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 4: I'm so excited.

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: When Channel ten asked me to co host it with Bo,

24
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: really wet my pants. It was so that's a function

25
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: of being fifty as well. Yeah that's okay, and having

26
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: two children.

27
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 4: But digress related. Yeah, exact sponsors, Yeah, thank you, that

28
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 4: would be great.

29
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

30
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here doing my kegels now for anybody that's

31
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: given birth.

32
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: You know exactly what I'm doing. I call it tie cheek.

33
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 4: That's so good.

34
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: So when they rang me and said do you want

35
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: to co host? And I was like, oh my god,

36
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: this is amazing. It's such great nostalgia value it has.

37
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: But then when I turned up to the set, the

38
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: way it's been done this time, it's awesome.

39
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

40
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: And so it looks like a whole Marvel universe, likely

41
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: like big and sort of.

42
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 4: It would be next level, yeah, next level.

43
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: And then like you see some of the old events

44
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: and then there's some new events and oh my god,

45
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: wait till you see the Gladiators.

46
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so good. I mean I was looking at

47
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: them for like a professional.

48
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: Research, yes, like I was just looking at them from

49
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: the hyperer formance you and just you know, well.

50
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: I see Jack Kenny. Yeah, I saw Jack Kenny as

51
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 4: often as I could look Viking, yes, obviously.

52
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: Yes. The funny thing is they've all got these names,

53
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: and I actually don't know other than Jet. I don't

54
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: know their real names because we got told early. Don't

55
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: learn their real names, learn their gladiator names. So if

56
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: I ran into into any of them in the street,

57
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: I'd be like, hey Maximus, Hey Jet, Hey Halo. Everyone

58
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: didn't think that I was idiot, but that's okay.

59
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: They always look I always thought gladiators look like they

60
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: could be on the cover of Mills and Boon novels.

61
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 4: I've just got that.

62
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

63
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: Now, as you said, there would be this superhero influence.

64
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: Too, and you would have seen, like the promotional shots

65
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: have got capes and as well as.

66
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: Having magnificent abdominal crick. Yeah.

67
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: So it was phenomenal and the action is unbelievable, Like, okay,

68
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: so that's a good thing, right, So you get sort

69
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: of you go, oh my goodness, the sets epic and

70
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: the gladiators are magnificent, and then you hit the action.

71
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 4: That's what brings you in.

72
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: So my kids are twelve and seven and I bought

73
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: them along one day to watch and they were riveted

74
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 2: from the get go, and I thought, okay, if they're

75
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: into it.

76
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 4: It must have been right.

77
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: Probably the coolest job that you could have got as

78
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: mum on television.

79
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, like points for being so cool. I'd look,

80
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 4: I'd try.

81
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, I'm still still a

82
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: daggy mum who yells at them to clean their rooms up.

83
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they can say my mum host Gladio, Well

84
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 4: this is true.

85
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: Well, I got to go to South Africa earlier this

86
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: year when I did I'm.

87
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: A Celebrity Jungle.

88
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that I thought that was cool. I'm my little boy,

89
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: you know little boys, I love their moms. And during

90
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: the jungle, he didn't really want me to go. And

91
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: then on the first night when they had the eliminations,

92
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: he burst into tears. When I wasn't eliminated myself was

93
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: along three weeks for him?

94
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: Would I love it? It's like they got Chris Brown

95
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: and shrink him. Yeah, yeah, isn't it. Yeah?

96
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: And then you know, having just looking at the promos

97
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: and seeing him interviewed, he's so much like his dad,

98
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: isn't he. Having that energy in the show will be fantastic.

99
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: It's really exciting.

100
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: I think the band to the how he gets on

101
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: with Julia as well will be interesting because as she

102
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: had that very specific relationship with yes, and now I

103
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: think baby Bob will have its own you know, you'll

104
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: have its own life, its own life exactly. Speaking of

105
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: the jungle, what was there's the number one Well, there'd

106
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: be a numerous reasons why I wouldn't want to go

107
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: into the jungle, but the number one thing would be

108
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: the eating stuff.

109
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 4: Yes, what was the worst thing you ate in the jungle?

110
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 4: I ate some pretty gross things. I ate antelope eyeballs.

111
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: I imagine them going pop, yeah, imagine correctly. And then weballs, Oh.

112
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: Goodness, they were well, no, they weren't going to they

113
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: weren't going to light to us because it was all gross.

114
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: So they went pop and all this gross stuff runs

115
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: into your mouth and it's just the smell.

116
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: Not caramel. No, it's not caramel. And then because I

117
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 4: tried to imagine they were like oysters. I like oysters.

118
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: Then because they're like they've got that really sort of

119
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: rubbery consistency. And then and then the liquid. And then

120
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: the other gross thing was rats tail. When they brought

121
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: out that cooked and it was the bones and the

122
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 2: singed hair. I really hope you're not eating your breakfast

123
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: as on talking, you're not anymore? No, And then the

124
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: other gross thing, of course, was the fermented fish cuts.

125
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: That's pretty gross.

126
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: But you know, I'm okay with drinking Okay, you know,

127
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm an excellent hydrator, so drinking stuff wasn't too bad,

128
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: but eating gross things was.

129
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: Just like And you'd have no trouble on the next

130
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: series of a loan because you know, if you have

131
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: to eat a ratstail left.

132
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. Although I'd struggle being alone because I

133
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 4: wouldn't have anyone to talk to.

134
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: It's usually talking to the camera NonStop, because this is true.

135
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, being the camera would enter into quite the relationship.

136
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll talking about these athletes. They're athletes, right, they're incredible,

137
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 5: certainly gladiator. I've this theory that you notice young people

138
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 5: in the gym now, a lot of people in the

139
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 5: gym now they go Olympic level. And these are regular

140
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 5: citizens who go Olympic level in the gym. So therefore

141
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 5: the gladiators will have to go even next level above

142
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 5: that to be outstanding well.

143
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: And then when the contenders come in, the contenders are

144
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: all the sort of people you go to your gym

145
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: and think, oh, they're pretty fit. Yeah, we've got a

146
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: couple of people who are a bit more regular people

147
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: but with big tickers.

148
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 4: And they do a great job.

149
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, you go, oh my goodness, they're

150
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: they're just they'd be outstanding at the gym and then

151
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: you stand them next to the gladiators and you think, whoa, that.

152
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: Is just like whole next level.

153
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 2: But the contenders are fantastic and we all got behind

154
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: the contenders. There are all the people that were cheering

155
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 2: for because the Australians cheer for the underdog.

156
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was great.

157
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: So but what we've we realized very quickly was that

158
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: for these contenders, this was their World Cup. So on

159
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: the one hand, you're making this great entertainment product and

160
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: that's got all the bells and whistles and these gladiators

161
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: and they look fantastic. But on the other hand, you've

162
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 2: got people who are really serious about their training and

163
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 2: they want to get out and show what they can do.

164
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: And you know that they've got their families and friends there,

165
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: so they were really passionate about it. So we really

166
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 2: leaned into that. Bo and I both did, I guess

167
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: with our sporting backgrounds, and it was really fun to

168
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: get to treat it like a sports event and running

169
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: straight after and do the interviews and get their reactions

170
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: straight away rather than setting it up. So it actually,

171
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: you know, the producers and the people who directing it

172
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: did their heads in because they weren't set up for lighting. No, no,

173
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: we have to get the emotion of the moment. And

174
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: that was so much fun. And the great thing is

175
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: that the way it worked was that the two contenders

176
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: who won, the male and the female, they get to

177
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: be Gladiators next year.

178
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, so much to Yeah, yeah, yeah.
