1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: It's a special Will and Woody podcast, Mini Woods. The

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: biggest thing in the news today is definitely this gig

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: at Astro World, this event where Travis Scott Banks, a

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: whole bunch of other performers were at this gig in Houston.

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Eight people have died being trampled in the crowd, twenty

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: five people hospitalized. It's extraordinary. It really is absolutely shocking

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: and really something I don't want to scare people about

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: going to festivals and gigs in Australia over summer. This

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: sort of thing happened a while I got the big

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: day out and since there's all sorts of laws and

11
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: regulations to make sure this can't happen in Australia. But

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: for a bit of perspective and just to paint a

13
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: bit of a picture about what happened on the ground,

14
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: We've got a guy called Aaron who joins us right now.

15
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: Aaron was at the gig in Houston over the weekend. Aaron,

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: welcome to the show.

17
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: Hello, you left that gig. Aaron just thinking, yeah, there

18
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: a few people are fainted, but it wasn't really out

19
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: of the ordinary that that's sort of your perspective.

20
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: It was honestly one of the best teams of way

21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: until what you're hearing about it. We run a couple

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: with things on Twitter and we were like, okay, maybe

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 3: one person that would be crazy in another itself, but

24
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 3: we thought it was just people that were passed out,

25
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: and other people were like, oh that persons there. Wow.

26
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: So I didn't see any one personally get hurt, but

27
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 3: I saw the people from the viral videos trying to

28
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: stop the camera.

29
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. I think if people don't know what

30
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: Aaron's talking about it, there was a couple of punters

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: who actually approached the stage and tried to tell a

32
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: cameraman to stop, to stop the show. So you saw

33
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: those people climbing up onto the stage.

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of them had made it up on the

35
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: platform and the other was on the stairs or rail

36
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: like up. Yeah, and we thought that they were just

37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: two people trying to get maybe on the light.

38
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, of course.

39
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what you'd think, and from what I understand

40
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: from the story, that's what the camera people thought as well,

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: didn't that.

42
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, saw the camera guy take off his headsets and stuff. Wow.

43
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: Obviously. Yeah, so you're saying there that, yeah, camera crew

44
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on. They've got headphones on. I

45
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: imagine that's the same for Travis Scott.

46
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. I heard him try and stop and direct help

47
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: for a few people that he saw, Like he went

48
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 3: up on a raised platform in one part of his show,

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: and I guess he could see down into areas closer

50
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: to the stage.

51
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: Do you think he could have done more to try

52
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: and stop things? Like do you think it would be

53
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: best if you just had walked off?

54
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if he could have done more, because

55
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 3: I mean people passing out or fainting at concerts and stuff, isn't.

56
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: It happens all the time?

57
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

58
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, people getting trampled and stuff. They would

59
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: even be under the people that he could see, So

60
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know if you could even

61
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: see that that was the issue up to the people,

62
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: like piping in his ear, Like yes, tell him information

63
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: to it.

64
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you think in any stage that you were

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: you were in mortal danger at Old Aaron. And the

66
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: second question is did you say anyone, because I know

67
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: twenty five people will hospitalized, did you say anyone get

68
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: badly hooked.

69
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: I'm a pretty big guy, but I have some friends

70
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: who are kind of smaller guys, and when all the

71
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: mach kits and stuff would open up around us, I

72
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: would kind of try and hold the edge or ere

73
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 3: ever and try and keep them behind me. But as

74
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 3: we were leaving and trying to funnel through the only exit,

75
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: there was like a path that opened up in the

76
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: crowd in front of me, and this I don't know

77
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: team major, young twenty year old kid was being carried

78
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: by two other people and he was like completely.

79
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: Anthem terrifying stuff. Aaron, thank you so much for joining

80
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: us and for sharing your story. Mike, I really appreciate it.

81
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.

82
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Now, is it all? Man? I hope you're okay? And yeah,

83
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Hulkan they joining us from Houston. He was at

84
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: the Astro World gig which Have Scott was performing on Friday.

85
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: Eight people dead, twenty five hospitalized. I mean, yeah, the

86
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: good thing is if you're in the card, anything in yourself.

87
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: G was this sort of thing. That's why you know,

88
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm scared about going back to festivals and gigs and

89
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff like this happened. Remember a while,

90
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: they've got the big day out in Australia and then

91
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: They've literally got things in Australia now where legally that

92
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: sort of thing can't happen anymore. We fence off mosh pits,

93
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: we've got crowd limit capacities past a certain point. They're

94
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: much cleverer they think about all this sort of stuff. Guys,

95
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: So please don't let that dissuade you from going to

96
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: a festival or getting worried about that in Australia, because

97
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: there are measures in place to stop that from happening.

98
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: And it's so it is, it's so big for the

99
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: music industry this summer, especially in music. You know, live

100
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: music is coming back.

101
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

102
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: I agree with him, mate. I don't think we can

103
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: let this scare people about going to music festivals. This

104
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: is a freak occurrence.

105
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a really Paul, the organized event where this

106
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: sort of thing can happen. This just wouldn't happen in Australia. Yeah,

107
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: certainly not now anyway. Hear more of the boys on

108
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: the Full Show podcast.

109
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: You know you want to
