25
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 4: Hello, how's it going good?

26
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: Mine? I'm in question for you.

27
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: It's an obvious question, but how are you feeling about

28
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: the news?

29
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: Mate?

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: It's pretty sad to be honest, Yeah, you know, I mean,

31
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 4: you know, everyone constantly trots out all the big names

32
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 4: that you know who have made it. But to be honest,

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 4: that's about you know, three percent of the people who

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 4: have actually come through the doors, the thousands of actors,

35
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 4: and not only the actors, but the crew, the writers,

36
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: the producers, the directors, all of those people are now

37
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 4: without a job.

38
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

39
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: So it's actually incredibly sad to be honest.

40
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's really the reality of isn't it. You're

41
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 3: so right people don't say the behind the scenes of it.

42
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 4: Well, I mean that's probably one, you know, one way

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 4: that you can look at it is that it's it's

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 4: been a training ground for people within this industry. I mean,

45
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 4: to be honest, Look, let's say I said that most

46
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 4: most interviews are most you know, the way that Neighbors

47
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: is generally treated as is if it's a bit of

48
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 4: a joke. But the actual, the actual truth of it

49
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: is is that it's it's propped up you know, so

50
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 4: many livelihoods and so many careers and and you know

51
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 4: that's it puts food on people's tables, to put roots

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: over people's heads and send those kids to school. To

53
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 4: be honest, you know, I think the time for kind

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 4: of joking about it is is kind of past, and

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: I think we should actually be honoring the actual, true,

56
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 4: the actual true effect that it's had on our industry,

57
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 4: which has been you know, it's been an absolutely, it's

58
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 4: been a stare waters people employed as training people, and

59
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: it's put Australia on the map in international markets and

60
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 4: a lot of the Australian TV that you see now

61
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 4: is you know, kind of only still existing and only

62
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: you know, still around because of the effects that the

63
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 4: Neighbors have within the industry.

64
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: Yes, I think everyone listening right now for whether the

65
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: entire run or a stage of their life was a

66
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: regular at some stage, like our parents couldn't make us

67
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: have dinner at the dinner table because at six point

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: thirty Neighbors was on.

69
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: And you know, I think a lot of people can

70
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: relate to that.

71
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 5: Ryan, Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, and that's you know,

72
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 5: the one thing another thing I constantly hear is, oh

73
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 5: you know, I never watched that, and you know what,

74
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 5: I'm going to be honest, I don't watch it either.

75
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: Neighbors isn't my cup of tea. It's not It's not

76
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: my type of show to watch. But I'm not into soaps.

77
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: And in terms of in terms of the genre that

78
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 4: it feels, my god, it does it. Well, there's only

79
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: two soaps and we all we constantly get compared to,

80
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: you know, Neighbors and Home and Away constantly get compared

81
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: to dramas, right, but we're not. We're soap. We produced

82
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: two and a half hours of television. Nothing else in

83
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: Australia does that. Two and a half hours of television

84
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 4: So forty eight weeks of a year.

85
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is actually enormous, isn't it when you think

86
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: about it, and hence it hence the size of the

87
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: crew that must be down there, and a family that

88
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: you've been I mean, you've been on the show for

89
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: twenty seven years. Mate, you've been there since you're fifteen.

90
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: So really this is more of an end. You know,

91
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: it's the end of an employment, but also it's got

92
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: to feel like really an end of a huge part

93
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: of your life.

94
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

95
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 4: I was just actually thinking about it before. And probably

96
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 4: the thing you can you could probably closely, you know,

97
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 4: closest related to is you know, when you when school finishes.

98
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: Oh my god, these people have been part of my

99
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 4: life for the last six or twelve years doing on

100
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 4: how you know whatever you went to Yeah, and you

101
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 4: see there and you kind of go, you know, I

102
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 4: got to know some really good people. I'll keep in

103
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 4: touch with some people. There's people that I really liked,

104
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 4: but I didn't really spend enough time with. Should I

105
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 4: have had more conversations with these people? And it's like that,

106
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 4: you know, you know, some of these people I'm closer

107
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 4: to than my own family members.

108
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 5: You know.

109
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 4: It's pretty sad.

110
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, And I'm sure I know you've said before

111
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: Ryan that you know, the job is just so much fun,

112
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: like the fact that you get to go into work,

113
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 3: tell a few gags, go home. It must have ever

114
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: felt like a job for you, you know, for all

115
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: of twenty seven years. And I actually think similar to

116
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: the radio show that we do now. And I know

117
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: that my mum always says to me, you know, you know,

118
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 3: when radio finishes, you're going to have to get a job. Finally,

119
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: is that thought crossing your mind at.

120
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 4: All and probably you know, that's another thought that comes

121
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 4: to you. I almost feel like, you know, like a

122
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: bit of an AFL footballer in the club for twenty

123
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: seven years. I'm never going to I'm never going to

124
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: be with an the club. No one's going to employ

125
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 4: me again, you know.

126
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, I reckon, I reckon.

127
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 2: Carlton would have you down at practice if you're rocked

128
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: out there to kick a few ships ion that have

129
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: the tode fishing in a Ford pocket.

130
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: I reckon, you'd be damaging. You could be damaging.

131
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 4: I kind of joked around it. I should I should

132
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 4: go and get a skint on home and away out.

133
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 4: Could be else Stuart's long lost love child and his

134
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 4: name is Ralph Stewey Stewarts.

135
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: That's a good bit behind that. You just conjured that

136
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: for yourself. Mate.

137
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about the character. Obviously, you've

138
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: played Tody for as I said, twenty seven years, since

139
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: you were fifteen years old. What's your fondest memory of

140
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: Toady's life on Neighbors, Like, what's what's what's probably like

141
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: the part of his character that you look back on

142
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 2: his narrative and you're like, oh, geez I reckon.

143
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: He was really hitting his straps there.

144
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: It was probably you're not necessarily storyline focused. It's more

145
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 4: you know, kind of period in time focused. Like you know,

146
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: we call it the House of Trouser Days, and really

147
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 4: what it was is three young.

148
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: Guys the House of Trouser Days.

149
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's the term that that is

150
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 4: bandied around around the neighbors, right right, right right, And

151
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 4: it was you know, like you know, Jesse Spencer hand

152
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 4: back then it was Andrew Biddy and Daniel McPherson and myself,

153
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 4: and then it moved on to Blair mcdonnough and Patty

154
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: Harvey and myself and you know, like three guys share housing.

155
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 4: So and it was just absolute mayhem. We used to

156
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: just come up with the most ridiculous stuff to put

157
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 4: into the scene and they let us get away with it.

158
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 4: So it was so much fun that stuff.

159
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're living with these boys offset and and it.

160
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 4: Was part of the part of the scene. You know,

161
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 4: we all lived in the same house. And like even

162
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: like there was stuff where there was a storyline where

163
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: the house like Ramsey Street was getting flooded. So Paul

164
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 4: Robinson bought every Street, every house on Ramsey Street, and

165
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: they were all going to get knocked down. So the

166
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 4: boys decided, well, we can just punch holes in all

167
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 4: the cupboards and punch holes in all the walls and

168
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff. But this is the level

169
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 4: of stupidity that we went to, was that if we

170
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 4: weren't in the scene, we would then go and pretend

171
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 4: like we were in the toilet next door where there

172
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 4: was a whole punch through, and the scene would be

173
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 4: about whatever, people breaking up whatever, and you just see

174
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 4: a hand come through the world and then you know,

175
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: whoever was whoever was walking down the corridor would just

176
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: pick up a roll of toilet paper, flunk it in

177
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: the hand, and then the hand would come back.

178
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: That's efficiency, that is efficiency.

179
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: Hey mate, we know the show is going to be

180
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: finishing up, finishes filming I think in June, but then

181
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: goes until September. The producers of promise there's going to

182
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: be a big send off for the show. Let's talk

183
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,479
Speaker 3: specifically about Tody.

184
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: Where are you at?

185
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: Do you want to have some epic death to finish

186
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 3: off your time on Neighbors or well, what are you after?

187
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 4: I've always I've always said that I would like Tody

188
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 4: two to save Ramsey Street from from a bomb threat

189
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 4: for him to jump on the bomb and explode.

190
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: Didn't you already have you had a similar bomb the

191
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: death by sausage wedding, which we've we've discussed previous, we've

192
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: discussed previously on the show, which is the infamous barbecue

193
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: at the wedding where they left the gas leaking and

194
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: it blew up the wedding.

195
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: Did you.

196
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 2: Did you not serve a similar role as a savior

197
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: of the town then?

198
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: Have you just got a bit of a taste for

199
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: it now?

200
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 2: No?

201
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: I don't think he saved anything there. I think any

202
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 4: you know, No, I don't think he was a savior

203
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 4: or anything there.

204
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: So he just needs his moment in the Sundow.

205
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: I think he's learnt from that. I think we should

206
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: have another barbecue incident, except this time Tody jumps on

207
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 3: the gas tank.

208
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely, you know what the genre so we can

209
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 4: do that thing, you know, that's the beauty of it.

210
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: Funny.

211
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 3: We actually cannot wait to see what they do to

212
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 3: finish up the show.

213
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: How are you going to say so, Tody? How are

214
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: you going to say goodbye to him? Mate?

215
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: Like like, I kin'd of imagine what it's like. I know,

216
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: last time we had you on the show, we spoke

217
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: a little bit about how much you identify with the

218
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: character and how hard it must be to separate yourself

219
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: from the character.

220
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: How are you How are you going to say goodbye

221
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: to him?

222
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: Like?

223
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: How what?

224
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 5: How is it?

Speaker 4: you know, we kind of joke about it, but the

268
