Speaker 2: two time Davis Cup winner who knew that he was

Speaker 2: a singer and that he was the echidnap. Mark Philipposa's

Speaker 1: Well, long time not chat. We haven't spoken to you.

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't know for ten years? Is that dating thing

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: you did a thousand years?

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: That's right, we haven't talk since then.

12
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: I didn't even know what you're talking about.

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: It right, So that long ago you've forgotten? What have

14
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: you been up to since then? Mark? What's been happening?

15
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: You tell us everything?

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: Oh man, Well what's been happening? I think the most

17
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 3: important thing is his family. My wife and my two

18
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: kids have a son who's six. Then my daughter Maya

19
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 3: turns to tomorrow, so exciting times.

20
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Maya.

21
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: Did you do the show because you thought they'd get

22
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: a kick out of it?

23
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: I did not show for a number of reasons. Firstly,

24
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: I thought, number one, it's important to do things you're

25
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: uncomfortable with and get out of a comfort zone and

26
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 3: singing was something that I mean, who wouldn't want to

27
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 3: love to be a rock stuff for the day. And

28
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: the fact that.

29
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 4: You're wearing a mask no on who knows it's you.

30
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 4: You know it was filmed in Melbourne. I'm living in Melbourne.

31
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 4: I think everything it was. Yeah, I'm glad I made

32
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 4: that decision because I had a lot of fun.

33
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: Did you pick the kid in a costume or did

34
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: they give you that?

35
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 3: No, you were assigned the character. So I was told

36
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: of a few weeks ago that I would be the

37
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 3: kidnap and it was I'm sad to say that I

38
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: didn't give it a better run. But he was a cool,

39
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: cool character, cool guy, and it makes some amazing costumes

40
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 3: this year.

41
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: So I know that you have a computerized voice when

42
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: you speak, but you are actually singing live inside that head,

43
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: aren't you.

44
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I definitely have to sing live. I think

45
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: that's I was so incredibly nervous being up there once

46
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: things started with the lights on and you know you're

47
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: about this is about to go live. But yeah, I

48
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: think the fact that it is live and everything like that,

49
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: and doing something that you don't know want to do

50
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: at all, especially in front of other people, and especially

51
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: something you know it's going to be on TV. But yeah,

52
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: and what.

53
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: An uncomfortable outfit. I mean everyone's outfits look uncomfortable. But

54
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: it's not easy performing like that, I imagine.

55
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: No, no, it wasn't easy. But you know there's not

56
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: a lot of oxygen going through that my husk. You

57
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: do need with your own nervous as oxygen. And the

58
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: outfit is actually really heavy because I was wearing a

59
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: shell and that thing was would have been probably easily

60
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: twenty kilos, so it was heavy.

61
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you used to play in a band, though, didn't

62
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: your years ago? Did you you know? I thought you

63
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: did know, though you've played with a bunch of dudes

64
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: in a band or something like that.

65
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: No, no, no, that wasn't me. No, I've never I

66
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: would love to have learned a little instrument, but no,

67
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 3: I never done anything. I never played in the band.

68
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: Now, because you're singing, isn't isn't that bad? It's pretty good.

69
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: I think you've been too kind, but I'll take it.

70
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I try, I tried my best. I was

71
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: just so nervous, to be honest, I just wish maybe

72
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: I would have let go a little bit more and

73
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, and then try to enjoy

74
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: the moment instead of being so terrified.

75
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: But that's what I like about this show is that

76
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 2: they're not all professional singers, because that would be no

77
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: fun just picking who the professional singers are. That it's

78
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: it's people you know, but you don't know that they're singing.

79
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: I think that that's the that's the secret to this show.

80
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one of the things I was definitely attracted to.

81
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: And and then the beautiful thing is it's such an

82
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: incredible team and they make you feel really comfortable and

83
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: trying to make you feel as relaxed as possible, so

84
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: you and so you can have fun and enjoy yourself.

85
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: Well, mate, you did a great job. You can go

86
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: back to practicing with your tennis racking in your room

87
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: as a guitar.

88
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: Good mind again.

89
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah that then I stopped doing that a very long

90
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,400
