Mini. 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 2: We want to talk to you about you a little 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 2: bit mate, because I know you've you've been doing a 4 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: hell of a lot of stuff. I saw that you 5 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: climbed K two recently, which is the steepest or shearest 6 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 2: climb on the planet. 7 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's classed as the hardest hardest climb in the world, 8 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: and it is. Indeed, I can confirm that K two 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: is the hardest mountain to climb in the world. It was. 10 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: It was pretty horrendous, to be fair. You know. It's 11 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: one of those that I was halfway up it and 12 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: I was thinking, an't you idiot this? 13 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 3: How does that conversation to do this go back to 14 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 3: your nice How does that conversation go? How does that 15 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 3: conversation go with your wife Emily? And if I had 16 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 3: that conversation with my fi, I've got a little girl 17 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 3: now as well, you've got five kids. How does the 18 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 3: chat go when you go? 19 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: You know what I'm going to do on. 20 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 3: A bit of time off, I'm going to go and 21 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: climb the hardest mountain to climb. I'm in the world. 22 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: What I told her? So, I told her I had 23 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: a book to go and write because when I write 24 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: my books, I'll go away for like go and lock 25 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: myself in a log cabin for like three four weeks. 26 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: I said, look, baby, I'm just going to go away 27 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: and write a book. And then the next thing she 28 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: calls n she said, what are you doing on K two? 29 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: I don't know about it. I'm climbing a mountain. 30 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 2: Writing a book. 31 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 3: So that's why you've written so many books, by the way, 32 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 3: and it is one time away from the family. 33 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: Is that what's going on? 34 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: Exactly? 35 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: Exactly? Five books? So what's that four six month trips 36 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: after the birth of each child? All right, well, great goodness, 37 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 2: well gotta go. 38 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: They're always in luxury locations, just. 39 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: To give people an idea. So you're you're only the 40 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: seventh brick to climb K two. So it is an 41 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: incredibly treacherous thing to do, and obviously it depends on 42 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: the conditions, and lots of people die trying to climb 43 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: that mountain. 44 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. I pasted past three people that were that that died, 45 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: and fresh bodies, three bodies you know when I went up, 46 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: when I when I came back down, there were three 47 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: bodies on the on on on the route. So yeah, 48 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: it's it's a massive reality check to be fair. 49 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 2: So, yeah, it's a real death wish to want to 50 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 2: climb that mountain. Yeah, his family life at the time. 51 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: And how do they get the bodies down? 52 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: You make me look really bad. 53 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: How do they get the bodies down? Sorry? 54 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: That basically that, Yeah, past a certain altitude, they can't. 55 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: They can't get him down after a certain altitude. They 56 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: just have to leave him there. And you know, you 57 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: have to respect the mountaineers. You know, if I was 58 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: to not make it on a mountain, I would just 59 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: like to be left alone. You know, that's the sort 60 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: of not a mountaineers dream. But they love what they do. 61 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: They do it for a reason. They'd understand the element 62 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: of risk and they might make it around So if 63 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: they don't make it, then they want to be there. 64 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: They want it's it's a valhalla for a Viking. 65 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: I take to the shes like, listen, if I don't 66 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: make it, then you know, just just just put me 67 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: off the trodden path, because the last thing I want 68 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: to do is just breathe on the path and for 69 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,839 Speaker 1: people to come path. 70 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 3: Scud a selfie next to my body. 71 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: It's the guy that's taken over all the radio shows. 72 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: Now and I do want to as I was asking 73 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: about before. So so final question is of the Australians 74 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: that have been on SAS Australia, which one of them 75 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: do you think would have stood a chance in climbing 76 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: K two. Now, I know your answer is obviously going 77 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: to be none of them. But but but. 78 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: If you had to know, I would say, do you 79 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: know what if I had Melissa Woo? Melissa do you 80 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: remember Melissa Woo? Yeah? Who is the Olympian the diver? 81 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: I believe she was, Oh yeah, yeah, I think you know, 82 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: with a structure and her determination and if she listened 83 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: to because she listened to everything we told her. Yeah, 84 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: and I think she would be a pleasure and I 85 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: think she would. She wish she would make it if 86 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,239 Speaker 1: if she's stuck by my side, she's like four for nothing. 87 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 3: I'd have spend some time in the African jungle with 88 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 3: the honey Badger, So I'll let him know that. You 89 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: don't think he'd make it up? 90 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: Kay? Too? No, he doesn't like the cold. Honey doesn't 91 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: have the cold. 92 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 2: I mean I was going to throw Mike Phillips this 93 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: into the mix.
