WEBVTT - REGGIE BIRD - I'M A CELEBRITY - NETWORK TEN

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.680
<v Speaker 1>It's in the news today, but it was actually on

0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>TV Reload the podcast last week. They're right. Hey, guys,

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to TV Reload. I would like to thank

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>you for clicking and downloading on today's episode with Reggie

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>from the latest series of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>out of Here, which was on Network ten. I didn't

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>even need to say her last name, as people often

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>get that wrong anyway, but I think because she's kind

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.639
<v Speaker 1>of like Madonna at this point, no last name required.

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Reggie and I met before I did Big Brother, and

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>in a chance meeting, I got some advice on applying

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 1>for the show. After I came out of my experience,

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Reggie and I met for a drink and we have

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>been making time for one another ever since. I absolutely

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.879
<v Speaker 1>feel privileged to call her my friend, and over the

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.919
<v Speaker 1>years I've been able to learn so much from her

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and her wisdom. The fact that Reggie was on I'm

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>a Celebrity was a complete joy to me. I knew

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>she would do well, I knew how much she wanted

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>to do it, but I also knew I would have

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>a chance to talk to her about all of her

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>experience on this podcast. A debrief that let's be on

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>sounds like us normally talking on the telephone. Reggie will

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>talk about her being asked to do the show and

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>what the I'm a Celebrity experience was like versus her expectations.

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Reggie will share what the reaction has been online after

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>she came out of the jungle and what advice Hughsey

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>gave her about the trolls. I find out about the

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>dynamics between some of the cast in the twenty twenty

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>five series, and Reggie talks about a mishap that involves

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Mattie Jay that I'm sure that you are going to

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>piss yourself laughing. You will get everything from her recent

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.479
<v Speaker 1>marriage rumors if she has signed to be a part

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.399
<v Speaker 1>of the upcoming reboot of Big Brother on Network ten,

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and I will find out what she thinks of our

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>bestie farmer Dave following in her footsteps in the jungle

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>for twenty twenty six. There's actually so much to talk about,

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>with so many inside revelations from our friend Reggie, So

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>sit back and relax as we unpack the wonderful world

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>if I'm a Celebrity, which guys, I'm sure you're really

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna love We've got to get into this because I've

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>been excited to catch up with you. I have so

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>many questions. I'd say, I just feel so proud of

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you because it was something that you had wanted to do.

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 1>It was kind of like a bucket listing for you, right.

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, I've always wanted to go on the show, and

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I was always like, oh, they're never going to put

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 2>me in there, and yeah, and then when I got

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 2>that Carle, I just could not believe it. What the

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>hell is just happened? I'm being asked to go on

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm a celebrity, Like it was just to pinch me moment.

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>Who put the phone call in? Who made the call?

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was someone at Channel ten that contacted me

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 2>and asked me to go yeah into the show.

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 1>So they straight away said to you, we want you

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>to do the show. Or were they saying they were

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>shortlisting you? Or what happened?

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 2>So, first of when I received a text message and

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 2>then I rang the lady back and she was asking

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>me would I be interested? And she was asking me

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.799
<v Speaker 2>if I'm working all all stuff about my life and

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>I said, look, no, I'm not working. And then she

0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 2>was saying, oh, would you be available in January. I said, yes,

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I'll be available because I'm not working the one kind. Yeah,

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 2>all that kind of stuff. And then then they I

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>think they had to go and do all their meetings

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 2>with who's headed Channel ten Garvey.

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they take that back and they have to pitch

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>everyone she has to see yet.

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that's all that process. And then yeah, pretty

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 2>much stroke lot because they wanted me to go in there,

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>so I was the go. Then you know, the next

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>part's about well, you know, how much money they're going

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.839
<v Speaker 2>to pay and all that kind of stuff, and it

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 2>wasn't very much. But I'm reading all about all these

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>false stories saying I got paid a lot of moneyed

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>to go into the show, and a lot of them like,

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>oh I wish, But anyway, I would have done it regardless, Ben,

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>because I've just you know, I was a massive fan

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:50.839
<v Speaker 2>of the show. Yeah.

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 1>About three different figures that I saw you being paid.

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>One was really high, it was ridiculous, one was sort

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 1>of middle of the range, and one was too low.

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh dear. And even the stories like last week in

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 2>the Woman's stae magazine, like I was walking past the

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 2>news agency in Paradise Points and ripped just the guy

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>who works and there he goes, Reggie, come here, and

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I said what and he goes, you're in the woman's

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.720
<v Speaker 2>day and I'd say what for and he goes, apparently

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 2>you're getting married to Phil and I went, what it's like. No,

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 2>I had to ring him and tell him and screenshot, Well,

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 2>apparently apparently we're getting married. This has been my third

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 2>marriage and his first marriage broke down. And I'm like,

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Bill has never been married, He's never going to get married.

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, where do they come up with all

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 2>this stuff? It was crazy? And then they were saying

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 2>that I've got a job on Big Brother. I did

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 2>a big deal with Channel ten and I wish, I

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 2>wish that bit was true.

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so, just because the story was that you were

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 1>co hosting the new Big Brother with Meltrosina, Yeah, and

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.159
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about how long it would take for

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Meltrosina to walk you on stage because you can't really see,

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 1>like they'll just play some Big Brother theme music in

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>the background while they get you out there.

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I'd love to get a job doing anything with

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Big Brother coming back. So you know, a good news,

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I guess.

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Then as I say, well, I guess you can't take

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.119
<v Speaker 1>it very seriously. I mean, I don't know if people

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>take it seriously anymore?

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Do Do they like the comments? Like the comments on

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 2>the Woman's Day page on the Facebook page, We're just brutal,

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 2>absolutely brutal, Like she's a gold digger, he's a five

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 2>fay worker, She's going to take all his money. It's

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.600
<v Speaker 2>just oh yeah, yeah, just horrible.

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Over the years, though, I reckon that you're the most

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 1>highly speculated Big Brother housemate that we've ever had. Like people, yeah,

0:05:55.839 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>for two decades and more, have created these false narratives

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>out there because I think you've stayed in the zeclass.

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I guess that's why I need to picked you

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.479
<v Speaker 1>for I'm a celebrity, because you get headlines written about

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:10.919
<v Speaker 1>you all the time.

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and at the moment, like because I'm copying a

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of the trolls about me being on the show

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 2>with my vision my vision impairments, Like I've always spoke about,

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.359
<v Speaker 2>you know how much I saide I do have left,

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 2>which is nine degrees of pinhole vision. And I've always

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>explained to people living with retinitis pigmentosa that I can

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 2>see the tiniest of tiniest of bits, you know, Like

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.040
<v Speaker 2>and I went on the show. You know, I was

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 2>so proud of myself to go in there and do

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.239
<v Speaker 2>what I did with the little eyesight that I have left,

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, and I want to show people who have

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 2>a disability that you can get out there and still

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 2>do things and have a go. And I'm like, well,

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I if I was a paralympian, I'll be getting praised.

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, they'd be going, go REGI, because I've gone

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 2>in and had to go it's like, ah, faking it.

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 2>She's not blind. And it goes to show how much

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 2>more education is needed about blindness, because there's a lot

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>of people out there who think that being blind you

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>cannot see a single thing, Like it's crazy.

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, we've had a friendship for a long time now,

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>and I've watched the degeneration of your eyesight. Yeah, and yeah,

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I've been there. Like I remember one time, do you

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>remember one of my friends was like, bring Reggie to

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>dinner at the All you can eat at the Marriott,

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 1>And like, yes, I'd love to go, but you know

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it's nighttime. I can't really see it nighttime. Yeah, And

0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize how badly your eyesight was so just

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>for people listening, I'm talking about twenty and thirteen, so

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>we're talking eleven years ago you struggled to be able

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>to see at nighttime. Yeah, and since then it has

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 1>continued to become harder for you to be able to

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>do things. So it's shocking to me, who's had to

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>drag you around on my arm, that people will now

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>comment on this.

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 2>It's yeah, it's crazy, Ben So, but I'm glad I

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 2>got a chance to bring awareness to lay vision blindness.

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 2>And also I spoke about Lucas's sistick by Bracist while

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 2>I was in there. I have it because I'm only

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 2>up to I'm only up to number two shows, so

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen what they've shown, but I hope they've

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 2>shown me talking about you know, CF and about my my, yeah,

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 2>failing eyesight. So yeah, it was good to be able

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>to bring some awareness to both those things that are

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 2>that are a big thing in our lives.

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're a champion to be able to do that.

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>But also, it took you like twenty years to watch

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>your first season of Big Brother and you still know that.

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm only up to day for that one. Oh my goodness, Ben,

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I've got to watch it. Yeah, I need

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 2>to watch it, and I need to film myself watching

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 2>commenting on it. That's what I've got to do.

0:08:58.360 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I've got a list of things that you're always to

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.840
<v Speaker 1>me you're going to do, and like which, big brother,

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I've got to write my book, and I'm like, you

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>should do I need you know, I want new management

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>or you know, all of these things. They're like, they're

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>things that are there that you have ambition to do.

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 1>And I have to say to you, I think a

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>large part of your reason for not pushing forward with

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.559
<v Speaker 1>those things has a lot to do with the weight

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>of the negativity of things that people have said to

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>you over the years. I feel like if you had

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>not have heard those things, you would have pushed forward

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>with some of that. You've had a real disconnect because

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>you think, yeah, oh well if I do this, then

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:34.839
<v Speaker 1>they're just going to come for me.

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've got to I've got to learn not to

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 2>let them get to me, you know, let all these

0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 2>things get to me. So, you know, I try to

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>be as strong as I can, but some some days,

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, you heavy days. We love my goodness, you know, well,

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 2>I just stop this horribleness. Like, I've always taught my

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.360
<v Speaker 2>kids to be kind, just always be kind to people,

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, unfortunately there's a lot of unkindness out there.

0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 2>But then again, you know, not shouldn't focus on the negative,

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 2>but should be focusing on those who who are positive

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 2>and a nice So yeah, lock, even with the management thing,

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm fingers cross I'll find a good manager now,

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, because I've had a lot of bad luck

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:18.840
<v Speaker 2>over the years with bad management. Yeah, so hopefully something

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>will come of this bend.

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, I mean I think in some ways it's

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>your vulnerability that is your access point for people who've

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>connected to you over the years. But being that vulnerable

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>person that you are and allowing that it can be

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:32.960
<v Speaker 1>really hard to navigate.

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, good things that they've got to happen. Good things

0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 2>have to happen.

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:38.679
<v Speaker 1>I want to know how you kept this a secret.

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I rang you a few times because one of the

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>subs that came out was you know, she's conquered a house. Well,

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:48.199
<v Speaker 1>there's no other person in Australia that could be that clue.

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, and then you were so good

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>you never confirmed it with me, but I did send

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 1>you a text message that said, if by chance you

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>are doing it, put those shoes on and start wearing

0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>them in. Ah, yes, did you take my advice?

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Look, I've bought my jungle boat for about a

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 2>week prior to going in. Uh huh, And they weren't

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 2>actually that too bad. Like I got used to them

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.120
<v Speaker 2>really really quickly. There was a few people in there

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.839
<v Speaker 2>that didn't wear their boots in and they were getting

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 2>blisters and you know, endless band aids on the back

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 2>of their ankles and but no. And the weirdest thing

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 2>was when I first after getting out of the jungle

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 2>the next day, when I had a nice shower and

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.599
<v Speaker 2>put my sneakers on, I'm like, oh, it was like

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 2>walking on pillows. It was just the best. And it's

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 2>amazing what you take for granted, like just having a

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 2>warm shower, just going to the toilet. Oh, it's just crazy.

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting because you've been such a fan of the

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>show over the years. We've debriefed seasons that you know,

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>you're we've both been watching, so you had you had

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 1>a real idea about what this show could be, Like

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to know now because you're almost a bit

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>of a super fan of this show, What was it like,

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.200
<v Speaker 1>was it harder than you expected? And how did it

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 1>match up to the dream of being able to do it?

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Well, I was probably the only one in there

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:17.439
<v Speaker 2>being that didn't struggle mentally, because because I've done two

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 2>big brothers fire, you know, getting locked up three months

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 2>at a time in a house, this was a breeze

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.680
<v Speaker 2>for me. Like, like I was only in there for

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 2>a month, you know, i was away for five weeks

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.080
<v Speaker 2>all up, and I'm like, thisn't easy, like compared to

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.199
<v Speaker 2>especially compared to my second big brother as well, because

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 2>that was hard. That was super hard. So I helped

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the camp mates get by because there

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 2>was a few that were ready to walk out that

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 2>door for three or four days in they were yeah,

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 2>and then and then they weren't coping with being in

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 2>there at all. They're like, why am I here? I

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 2>can't do this?

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>So who did that? And got to tell me who

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:57.720
<v Speaker 1>did that?

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Like Maddie J he he absolutely had a like he

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>was so upset. He's gone on read I can't do

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 2>this because I really can't do this.

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe it. Yeah, I believe it. And he

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>was so desperate to do that show, like he said

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 1>out there publicly. You know that they came to him

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't know whether to do it, and his

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>wife didn't want him to do it, but you know,

0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to do that show before. I actually asked

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 1>him once at the Loki, So I said to him,

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 1>would you do the Jungle? And he said, yeah, I'd

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.439
<v Speaker 1>love to do that. So I don't know. It's hard

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 1>to believe. You know, you and I have been in

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.319
<v Speaker 1>these situations with a lot of these people. You never

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>know what to believe when people tell you.

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Even Sam he struggled to be like he was. You know,

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>he was in there worrying about everything back home and

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna, I should be home, I shouldn't be in here,

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:48.200
<v Speaker 2>and I was thinking, wow, like really yeah, it was

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.439
<v Speaker 2>it was crazy, like yeah. And then like Zach, he

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 2>couldn't make to get out. He was. He was so

0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 2>happy the day that he got out of there. Oh yeah, yeah, No,

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.679
<v Speaker 2>it was Gerald. She had a melkdown on the first

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 2>night going in and it was all yeah, yeah, it

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 2>was all too much for her because I didn't realize

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:11.040
<v Speaker 2>that she's got ADHD and sensory overload, and it was

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 2>all because the camp mates were all just so loud

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.559
<v Speaker 2>and so full on, and she was upset, and I

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 2>went and gave her a big cuddle and I said, look, Geraldine,

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 2>just let them go. I said, this is what it's

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>going to be like. They will eventually, they will eventually

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.880
<v Speaker 2>calm down. I said, give it a few days. I

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 2>said that they'll be over They'll be over all trying

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.280
<v Speaker 2>to get their voices out there to look at me,

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 2>look at me, look at me. I said, they'll be

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 2>sick of each other by three days, and it all

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 2>calmed down.

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I reckon. For my series of Big Brother, it took

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 1>them three weeks before some of them started to behave

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 1>like normal people, because it is like a heightened reality

0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and it is very easy to get stepped up into it,

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you want to have your voice be

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 1>heard where I felt like it takes people. Especially with

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the season of My Big Brother, it took them a

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.119
<v Speaker 1>long time to calm down. So when you told Geraldine,

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:07.880
<v Speaker 1>don't worry, they'll be fine in three days, I'll be like, yeah, no.

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.240
<v Speaker 2>It was fascinating. So I found it that part of

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 2>the camp thing was mentally and that was fine for me.

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 2>But I sort of felt like it was funny because

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 2>everyone was sort of did they did have big personalities.

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 2>So I sort of feel like I wasn't doing enhing

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>because because I couldn't cook, I couldn't get near the

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 2>campfire to cook, or.

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't believe me that Actually that annoys me. I've been

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 1>with you videos for years. You're cooking sensational. Your food

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 1>in real life is a part of your personality. RAG like,

0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 1>that's who you. You love cooking for people, you love

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 1>sharing food with people. I was like, get in there,

0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 1>get in there.

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 2>I tried to trust me. I tried, and then even

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Geraldine was coming, Like when the bag would drop and

0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Rege can get in and Rege can chop up some

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Reggie's tonight and let REGI have a cook she can cook.

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Nat couldn't get near it. I think I only chopped up, oh,

0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.200
<v Speaker 2>chopped up. I think twice to two or three times.

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I only got to manage to chop up a vegetable.

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 2>And the only time I got to cook was towards

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 2>the end of the end of the show was the

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 2>fish and chips. Yeah, everyone, it was when over half

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 2>the camp had already left. Got they're gone, and then

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 2>the only time I managed to get to cook was

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 2>when they brought in the beer and the flour and

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 2>fish and then they went, Reggie, can you cook? Can

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 2>you cook his fish and chip? And that was the

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 2>only time I got there was day twenty six. It

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 2>was day twenty six, I've got to cook.

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what these interesting about you talking about

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 1>this though? Because I remember you sharing stories about your

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>first big brother and your second big brother and now

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm a celebrity and inside these social experiments, you're always

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>allowing other people to shine, do you know what I mean?

0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Like you do step yeah. And I remember you saying

0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 1>you were unsure of how you know you were doing enough.

0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 1>In the first time you're on Big Brother in two

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.720
<v Speaker 1>thousand and three, you were like, am I doing enough?

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 1>But Australia was obsessed with it? And then when you

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 1>went and did Big Brother again in twenty twenty three,

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.439
<v Speaker 1>you said to me afterwards you felt like, wow, that

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.440
<v Speaker 1>was being filmed. You didn't feel like you were being

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 1>enough then, and then here we are talking about I'm

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.120
<v Speaker 1>a celebrity and you're like, I'm not sure if I'm

0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 1>doing enough? You are enough? Like you doing the simplest

0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 1>things humanizes you to the audience. People see your relatability

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 1>just in the most simplest of things. Wow, so interesting

0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:35.360
<v Speaker 1>that you don't see it that way.

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:36.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't see it.

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:40.480
<v Speaker 1>No, no, And it lends itself into the speculation of

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.919
<v Speaker 1>you wish you know it was planned for you to

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 1>win and all of these things, or you know you

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>felt deserving. That could not be more opposite to the

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:52.200
<v Speaker 1>woman that I know, like you the last person buying

0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 1>tickets to any of your shows.

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's weird, It's really weird. I yeah, because I

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:00.840
<v Speaker 2>even went into the top talkie and I was talking

0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.160
<v Speaker 2>to the producers and I kind of don't I feel

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 2>like I'm not Then read You're fine, and I'm like, yeah,

0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.239
<v Speaker 2>I just feel like I'm not doing enough. But I

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 2>did feel like the camp mates. I don't know whether

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.720
<v Speaker 2>they didn't trust me using a knife, you know, to

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:19.880
<v Speaker 2>cut up a vegetable, or they wanted to do it themselves,

0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:21.840
<v Speaker 2>because it is because there is a lot of time

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.000
<v Speaker 2>in there where you're doing nothing, and that is a

0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 2>big highlight. When that bag drop, you just want to

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 2>do something. And yeah, so yeah, it was interesting.

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.360
<v Speaker 1>What did you think of the order of the people

0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.880
<v Speaker 1>that left the show. Did you have because you've been

0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:40.200
<v Speaker 1>in an elimination process style show before, did you predict

0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:41.920
<v Speaker 1>who was going? Every time?

0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.560
<v Speaker 2>I luck Samantha straight away, She's she's got to go,

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.920
<v Speaker 2>so she and she went.

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, though, I mean, do you know all subtext this, Reggie.

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I've heard you say a bad word about anyone. It's hilarious.

0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.400
<v Speaker 1>And I always when I catch up with you, I'm

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 1>always gossiping about people and outrageous and you always laugh

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and say you're funny, aren't you? But you never say, yeah,

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.480
<v Speaker 1>she's enoughy. But like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was Samantha

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 1>doing on that show. She had no business being there.

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:19.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, like because I don't like Matt watching

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Mats Like, I'm yeah, like I'm not a big fan

0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 2>of that show because I don't like people fighting and conflict.

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm a very I avoid that in my life, you know,

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I just don't like that. But yeah, like I just yeah,

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 2>when I just had a feeling Samantha would go. But

0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 2>I was I was shocked when Hughsey went. He was hilarious.

0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:45.720
<v Speaker 2>He was so beautiful. What I absolutely love him. He's

0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 2>the most beautiful guy. And you know, and we were

0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.639
<v Speaker 2>talking a lot in there about trolls and social media

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:55.199
<v Speaker 2>and EP cops. It's so bad. And he said to me,

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 2>read you guys, I've learned now over the years to

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:02.280
<v Speaker 2>not engage with it. Just just let them be, let

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 2>them go, let them do it, he said, because I

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.760
<v Speaker 2>know who I am and that's all that matters. And

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.480
<v Speaker 2>it's so true. Like I was devastated when he left.

0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I really thought he was going to

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 2>be there at the end, even with Max. When Max left,

0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.879
<v Speaker 2>I was shocked at he left, because I thought it

0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 2>was going to be Mattie, Sam and Max in the

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:29.440
<v Speaker 2>final three. I did not see myself making it.

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 1>On your face too. The whole way through the show.

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I know you well enough to know

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that look on your face, And yeah, you definitely didn't

0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:40.040
<v Speaker 1>see yourself there, which is no, which is the opposite

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 1>of whatever I was saying on the outside. You know,

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.000
<v Speaker 1>but don't you think it's weird You've now had access

0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.440
<v Speaker 1>to being with all these celebrities, like for an extended

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.160
<v Speaker 1>period of time, You've rubbed shoulders with them for years,

0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:52.880
<v Speaker 1>but like on red carpets, for just a moment, sitting

0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.520
<v Speaker 1>there talking to someone like Hughesy, who is prolific. He

0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 1>has been front and center of media now for decades,

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 1>rolled for decades. Do you start to do you start

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to listen to someone like that? And was he able

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 1>to help you process your journey with all of that?

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.679
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes he. I've got to take on board what

0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:16.600
<v Speaker 2>he said to me, and I've got to remember, you know,

0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:19.560
<v Speaker 2>get that into my head that just got to let

0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:22.320
<v Speaker 2>these patrols go, like you just have to let them,

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, he goes, just let them go. He goes,

0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:27.640
<v Speaker 2>You're going to get trailed no matter what you do.

0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:31.439
<v Speaker 2>You know. So, But like I said, I am finding

0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 2>it difficult this time around because there's so much of it.

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.520
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's so much of it compared to my

0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.480
<v Speaker 2>last two all the first Big Brother, I'm glad we

0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:42.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't even have social media back then.

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.199
<v Speaker 1>No, no, oh gosh.

0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:46.200
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I copped a bit in the second

0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Big Brother. But this this obviously is just brutal with

0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:55.560
<v Speaker 2>the trolls. But Hughesy was He gave me a lot

0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:58.920
<v Speaker 2>of advice, you know, don't engage with it, just let

0:21:58.920 --> 0:21:59.200
<v Speaker 2>it go.

0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.320
<v Speaker 1>So funny with Geraldine as well being a comedian, she

0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 1>puts herself out there to be a comedian. And there's

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 1>this about saying I'm funny and you say you're funny?

0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:10.520
<v Speaker 1>People say, how dare you? Do you know what I mean?

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:16.080
<v Speaker 1>What is your problem? Like? Yeah, isn't it amazing? Isn't

0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:19.200
<v Speaker 1>it amazing that we could value something about our personalities

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>enough to want to go and share it with the world. Yeah?

0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Weird, you know, And I mean it's been.

0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Relating to you on television for two decades. And you know,

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:30.239
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these people that are on television these

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 1>days have been on one season of Maths or they've

0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 1>been on one season of Survival whatever, and then they

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, walk around, you know, thinking that they're amazing

0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:39.639
<v Speaker 1>where yeah, you've been friend instead of doing this just

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.879
<v Speaker 1>for so long. And it's just hard. It is hard

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to have those conversations. It's good though, that you've got

0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:48.199
<v Speaker 1>your I what was I calling farmer Dave? And I

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:50.879
<v Speaker 1>your fairy Godmother's I think is what I was saying.

0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, these behind the scenes championing you for years.

0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:59.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, oh, well I need a ring, Dave. A

<v Speaker 2>lot of people I haven't I just been. It's it's

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 2>weird and I'm still tired. I'm so tired. I've been

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:09.719
<v Speaker 2>back over a week, and I am it's bizarre, but

0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I guess because I didn't sleep very well in there either.

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I only had one good night's sleep, and because I'd

0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:19.200
<v Speaker 2>lay there thinking a spider or a snake or something

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:21.800
<v Speaker 2>was going to get me, and and everyone kept becoming

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:25.600
<v Speaker 2>rage you need to sleep, girl like, And because I'm

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:27.680
<v Speaker 2>really bad in my normal day life, like.

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Every day last d Are you a good sleeper in general?

0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not. And in there was just ten times worse.

0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:37.120
<v Speaker 2>So I haven't even gone back to my bed yet.

0:23:37.119 --> 0:23:39.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm sleeping on the couch. I'm still on the couch

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:39.920
<v Speaker 2>here at home.

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:42.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not only because you've given you a better way,

0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:43.840
<v Speaker 1>isn't It's true.

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, my sister is in my bed, but she has

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:51.640
<v Speaker 2>offered to me. But I'm like, this is actually comfortable,

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 2>because the camp beds were hard as well, you know,

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:56.680
<v Speaker 2>they're hard as roll and this is like a comfy

0:23:56.720 --> 0:24:00.439
<v Speaker 2>little camp bed. So and I'm still got up in

0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:04.000

0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:10.440
<v Speaker 2>night they brought in those beds. The double oh. Could

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:13.159

0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:14.880
<v Speaker 2>this is weird sleeping in a bed.

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:17.320
<v Speaker 1>The woman described it as being overtired. Do you know

0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 1>when your legs feel like they won't Yeah?

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:23.560
<v Speaker 2>True, but no, I'm still tired. And I have been

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 2>sick since. You know. I got sick with this car

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:28.160
<v Speaker 2>for a week last week of the show, and I'm

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:31.720
<v Speaker 2>still getting over that. So yeah, I'm feeling like crap.

0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:34.040
<v Speaker 2>I need to make my fifty cloves of galax.

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.159
<v Speaker 1>Soup and get it's my go to. You sent that

0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to me, I reckon six years ago. If Ben or

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:41.919
<v Speaker 1>I have like any slight tingle in the back of

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the throat, I'm like, get the Reggie's Garlic soup out

0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and it works. It's a good one work.

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I've got to go and do it.

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:49.680
<v Speaker 1>After this experience, I think, you know more of those

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 1>videos sharing your cooking. People love that stuff.

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know. It was amazing, Like because before I

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 2>went into the jungle, I was while I was over

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:01.680
<v Speaker 2>there in South Africa, I was trying to upload some

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:03.960
<v Speaker 2>cooking videos to make it look like I was still

0:25:04.000 --> 0:25:08.880
<v Speaker 2>here and yeah, and I would load properly and I'm like, oh,

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:12.479
<v Speaker 2>It's frustrating because I loaded up my wristole video and

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:15.760
<v Speaker 2>I said, hey, everyone, I'm making rissoles with a caramelized

0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 2>red red wine and then gravy, and all what would

0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:22.560
<v Speaker 2>upload was was just me making the bristles, and then

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:25.639
<v Speaker 2>the gravy bit wouldn't upload, And I've got out and

0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 2>got my phone back and and banned out. Like I've

0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:32.240
<v Speaker 2>had all hundreds of thousands of views on my wristole

0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:34.720
<v Speaker 2>video and a lot of people go and where's the gravy?

0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:37.119
<v Speaker 2>But I should do I should I should do a

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:40.639
<v Speaker 2>little part to explain. Yeah, I need to explain to.

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 1>People hanging around for it.

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes they are, like, it's had nearly a million views.

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:49.199
<v Speaker 1>Wild, it's so wild. Do you know what's also interesting

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that I wanted to ask you was after the first

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Big Brother, you needed a security guard to follow you

0:25:53.680 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 1>up after you did Big Brother the second time round,

0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 1>you said you walked down the street and no one

0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:01.840
<v Speaker 1>about it an eyelid. Yes, the action this time around.

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:04.640
<v Speaker 2>This one is like, it's really weird because yeah, the

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:08.320
<v Speaker 2>first Big Brother was in saying that added this world crazy. Second,

0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:10.400
<v Speaker 2>no one gave to you heats, and now it's come

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 2>back again with like, oh, Reggie, can I have a photo?

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:15.879
<v Speaker 2>You were great, Like, yeah, it's back to that again,

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:20.639
<v Speaker 2>and especially with little kids because a lot of kids

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 2>watch on a celebrity and there's a lot of the

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 2>kids wanting a photo and no, it's really really lovely.

0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:31.320
<v Speaker 2>And that's another thing I absolutely loved about doing this

0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 2>show was no one was pitted up against each other,

0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Like it wasn't the competition, do you know, to get

0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:39.800
<v Speaker 2>to the end. It was we were all there to

0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:42.480
<v Speaker 2>help each other. And that's what I absolutely loved about it,

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Like you're there to help each other, and you're there

0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:46.600
<v Speaker 2>like when you do these trials and all you want

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:48.679
<v Speaker 2>to do is get as many stars as possible to

0:26:48.760 --> 0:26:51.199
<v Speaker 2>come back and feed the family. That's what it was like.

0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:54.000
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, that's that's what I loved about it, like

0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:57.199
<v Speaker 2>we're all there to help each other absolutely.

0:26:57.320 --> 0:27:00.479
<v Speaker 1>Do you think because you've been here before, hi, pressure

0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 1>environments make relationships seem more potent at the time, but

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:08.199
<v Speaker 1>do they last after the show? Because Big Brother in

0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:11.240
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and three, you have maintained your friendship with

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 1>don't we call him fat Bobby? What do we call Ben?

0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah, Ben? Yes, that Bobby yeah, yeah, yeah, but.

0:27:17.520 --> 0:27:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Like people thought you'd be friends with other housemates from

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.919
<v Speaker 1>that year, but you walked away. The people who stood

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 1>by you were not the obvious. Yes.

0:27:27.480 --> 0:27:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and it's again like even in the second Big Brother,

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:34.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, yeah, the best mate I've got out of

0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:37.680
<v Speaker 2>that one is Farmer Dave, like he me and him,

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I think of the I think it's me and him

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:43.480
<v Speaker 2>still like a still touch his base now and then,

0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:46.200
<v Speaker 2>and the other is the other meal Tim he's gone.

0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know any updates on the way that he's been,

0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 2>whether he's got back to normal or.

0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Is still doing I was wondering whether or not you

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:53.720
<v Speaker 1>saw that.

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.800
<v Speaker 2>No, Oh did he What did he do? Maybe he

0:27:56.800 --> 0:27:58.440
<v Speaker 2>should tell he did.

0:27:58.240 --> 0:27:59.719
<v Speaker 1>Something along the line. I don't want to go too

0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:02.200
<v Speaker 1>much into this because I think but like he did

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 1>take us say hey, Reggie, who's watching who? Now?

0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:07.720
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean?

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I think he thinks that you're watching him? And then

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:12.480
<v Speaker 1>he does a dance for like half an hour. And

0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I didn't watch the whole dance. I did skim through

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:17.200
<v Speaker 1>it to see whether or not he clarified the caption,

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:20.359
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't see him clarify the caption. But look,

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:23.560
<v Speaker 1>it's really sad because I think when anyone and I

0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:25.800
<v Speaker 1>know you felt, you felt like this, and you feel

0:28:25.840 --> 0:28:28.639
<v Speaker 1>like this when anyone in our Big Brother community or

0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:32.399
<v Speaker 1>our family has something go wrong, we worry deeply. Like

0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:35.919
<v Speaker 1>it's it's like we have a bond with these people,

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:37.720
<v Speaker 1>even people that are not on your own season. You know,

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:39.880
<v Speaker 1>if anything happens to them, you want it is a

0:28:39.920 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 1>strange eerror for Tim Dab at the moment, and I

0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:47.080
<v Speaker 1>wish him nothing but health and happiness. And you know,

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the full story, so it's just too

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:50.840
<v Speaker 1>hard to connu And then.

0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Like with this one again, like you like even in

0:28:55.920 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 2>the second, that's right. With the second Big Brother was

0:28:59.040 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 2>though we're all in is WhatsApp group chat, oh yeah,

0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:07.280
<v Speaker 2>right after it had been filmed, and like everyone was happy,

0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:10.880
<v Speaker 2>everyone's chatting, everyone's this and whatever, and I'm and I

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 2>was thinking in my head, I'll wait to wait till

0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 2>the show goes to air. This will all stop. Yes, yes, yes,

0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:20.560
<v Speaker 2>that's what happened.

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:24.040
<v Speaker 1>So wild. And then now you're back again in an

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:27.080
<v Speaker 1>environment where this one was life like the original Big Brother.

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:29.720
<v Speaker 1>So that makes it a little bit different in gym, yeah,

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:33.280
<v Speaker 1>because that takes away that anticipation of the show coming out.

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:36.480
<v Speaker 1>But do you see who are the people that you'll

0:29:36.520 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 1>be talking to in ten years time? Do you know

0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:39.480
<v Speaker 1>who those people would be?

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I reckon it's going to be I reckon Nikki

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Nikki Buckley.

0:29:45.040 --> 0:29:47.200
<v Speaker 1>What was she like? She looks fabulous. I'd be friends

0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 1>with them.

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:51.520
<v Speaker 2>She's turning sixty this year, and she is amazing, Like

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:56.600
<v Speaker 2>her body is insane like I'm and she goes red.

0:29:56.840 --> 0:30:00.520
<v Speaker 2>I exercise each day. I want you because you know

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:02.280
<v Speaker 2>she goes. I don't want to get old and ended

0:30:02.360 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 2>up in a nursing home. I need to look after myself,

0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 2>you know. So that's why she's just amazing, A very

0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:14.360
<v Speaker 2>strong woman, very competitive lady. Yeah, Nikki, Maddi Ja like Maddie.

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Jamie and him got along really well.

0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:19.080
<v Speaker 1>That's all I'm going to say. I'll leave that there.

0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh look, yes, hopefully Max like But a lot of

0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:28.239
<v Speaker 2>Max's people do not like me because he didn't make

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 2>it to the end. So I'm not get all these

0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 2>fans because I asked, Yeah, that's r because I sent

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:37.360
<v Speaker 2>him a message gun Max, what was the video that

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 2>made you go viral for him to become famous? Yes,

0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 2>so he on TikTok. So he sent me the video

0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 2>of him where he was he brought all these toys

0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:51.760
<v Speaker 2>from Disneyland or something anyway, So when I so, then

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I started clicking through some of his videos and of

0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 2>him being on the show, and and oh my god,

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:01.440
<v Speaker 2>like the hate for me was just brutal.

0:31:02.360 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 1>M Yes, I know, just don't read the comments. But

0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:08.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I would love for you to go and

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:10.680
<v Speaker 1>see him in England. That's what I'd like.

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to do that.

0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I've got a really good theory. So yeah, I would

0:31:15.520 --> 0:31:18.880
<v Speaker 1>like to see you on Big Brother Celebrity UK. They

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:22.200
<v Speaker 1>are doing that, and I think you could go into that.

0:31:22.600 --> 0:31:24.240
<v Speaker 1>And now we have like a reason for you to

0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:26.200
<v Speaker 1>be there, Like there already is the fact that you

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 1>are a two time champion. We're not of Big Brother,

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:32.480
<v Speaker 1>but like, wouldn't it be amazing to read be reunited

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:33.760
<v Speaker 1>with Max in that series?

0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it'll be awesome. I know we need to make

0:31:39.280 --> 0:31:42.520
<v Speaker 2>some phone called maybe we need to I TV. Do

0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:43.640
<v Speaker 2>they run that over there?

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:44.200
<v Speaker 1>They do?

0:31:45.000 --> 0:31:45.320
<v Speaker 2>They do.

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's record, let's get him on the phone.

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Now we need to get this going.

0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Alex Shirley can do that, Like, oh.

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Come on, Alex would have connection.

0:31:55.840 --> 0:31:59.640
<v Speaker 1>For people the EP so he was brother and he

0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:04.080
<v Speaker 1>was your yeah, yeah, and he's such a big fan

0:32:04.120 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 1>of yours as well.

0:32:05.240 --> 0:32:07.080
<v Speaker 2>I know, I've got to get this happening.

0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I always used to say to him, if you're putting

0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:10.959
<v Speaker 1>any Big Brother people into the jungle, who would you

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 1>put in there? And he always used to say, no,

0:32:13.680 --> 0:32:15.640
<v Speaker 1>no one. The people at the top, the powers that be,

0:32:15.760 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 1>don't want any Big Brothers people in there. But I

0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:19.640
<v Speaker 1>guess with you going in there, it had a lot

0:32:19.680 --> 0:32:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to do with the fact that Big Brother's coming back

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:25.479
<v Speaker 1>on Channel ten, that they need to true invest in that,

0:32:25.800 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, in that era of Big Brother again. But

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I remember Alex would always give me the same list

0:32:30.880 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 1>of people that he would want to put in there,

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 1>and so he has always been a champion of you

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:38.520
<v Speaker 1>with you at the top, although he did I'm reluctant

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:41.000
<v Speaker 1>to put Reggie in the show because I fear it

0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:44.000
<v Speaker 1>would be everyone saying, oh, she's going to win. You know,

0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 1>he was worried about putting you there in that space

0:32:46.640 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 1>because he thought, yeah, people would say, do you know

0:32:49.120 --> 0:32:51.880
<v Speaker 1>what I mean? So I don't know what changed in

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:54.240
<v Speaker 1>his mind to then change that, but you know I'd

0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:55.959
<v Speaker 1>love to see Farmer Dave do the Jungle.

0:32:56.320 --> 0:32:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Ah, yes, yes, would you do it?

0:32:59.040 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Then?

0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Would you?

0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Would you think I'm not in the zeitgeist like that anymore?

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Like I think people wouldn't know who I was. I really,

0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I really think that's where it is at right now.

0:33:10.040 --> 0:33:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Would I do it? Of course I do it, barbarasis

0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:15.080
<v Speaker 1>with the idea, But you know, I just don't know

0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:17.080
<v Speaker 1>whether or not that I mean, I guess they could

0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:20.239
<v Speaker 1>roll back the footage of me winning Big Brother. Yeah,

0:33:20.720 --> 0:33:22.600
<v Speaker 1>people care, you don't know, you know what I mean?

0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:25.400
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I mean I always thought that Tim Dormer

0:33:25.440 --> 0:33:26.960
<v Speaker 1>should do it, but then you know, he's in a

0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 1>different headspace. Now. I've always thought that Tully would be

0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 1>good on it, but then also she problematic at times,

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, and Ben's a belle like he'd be great

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:36.400
<v Speaker 1>on that show.

0:33:36.640 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think he'd go okay on there.

0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Actually, yeah, I mean he's kind of he was kind

0:33:40.880 --> 0:33:43.120
<v Speaker 1>of like a version of you in some way. Because

0:33:43.160 --> 0:33:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the fans of Benzabell's were very similar to your long

0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:50.080
<v Speaker 1>term fans. I think I feel so well, I should

0:33:50.160 --> 0:33:53.360
<v Speaker 1>quickly reconfirm something. So a lot of people are writing

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:55.719
<v Speaker 1>about whether or not you are having anything to do

0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:57.720
<v Speaker 1>with a new Big Brother, And you're saying, at this

0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:00.960
<v Speaker 1>stage no one has reached out. Do you have any

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:03.280
<v Speaker 1>things that you would like to come back for this

0:34:03.360 --> 0:34:05.480
<v Speaker 1>new Big Brother? What do they need to do that

0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I need to do? Dot points? I'm going to start

0:34:08.000 --> 0:34:08.800
<v Speaker 1>with Mike Goldman.

0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, I was about to say, they have to bring

0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:14.239
<v Speaker 2>back Mike Goldman. He has to be the voiceover, like,

0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:17.799
<v Speaker 2>they have to bring him back. I doubt Gretel would

0:34:17.800 --> 0:34:19.719
<v Speaker 2>come back to host it unless she got offered a

0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:22.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of money. That's what They've already got a host,

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:23.399
<v Speaker 2>haven't they.

0:34:23.480 --> 0:34:25.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, but they bring great I forgot like, I don't

0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:26.799
<v Speaker 1>think she. I think Gretel's done with it, don't.

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:27.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think.

0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Long ago and we had a conversation about it, and

0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I thought she would be very dismissive of chatting about

0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Big Brother, but she was really chatty. She was really

0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:39.120
<v Speaker 1>you know. I think for her, if the money was right,

0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:40.360
<v Speaker 1>she'd do it. That's what I think.

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:43.200
<v Speaker 2>I think they should bring back a lot of the

0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:47.840
<v Speaker 2>original producers like Peter Abbott, whether Alex would do it again.

0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:50.480
<v Speaker 2>But they need to bring it if they want Big

0:34:50.480 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Brother to come back to its original format how it

0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:55.239
<v Speaker 2>used to be. They need to have some of the

0:34:55.360 --> 0:34:58.239
<v Speaker 2>older guys that worked on that show who know what

0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:01.600
<v Speaker 2>they're doing and know the concept it all. Because nothing against

0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:04.680
<v Speaker 2>new and upcoming producers, but you need to have something

0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:09.120
<v Speaker 2>that someone with that experience to bring to bring it

0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:10.600
<v Speaker 2>back the way that it used to be.

0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:12.160
<v Speaker 1>So I agree.

0:35:12.640 --> 0:35:14.719
<v Speaker 2>You know, even if they're doing up Late, are they

0:35:14.800 --> 0:35:16.520
<v Speaker 2>going to do up Late and all that kind of thing.

0:35:16.480 --> 0:35:17.960
<v Speaker 1>They need to do that they're saying they're doing that,

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:20.400
<v Speaker 1>They're saying up Late's coming back. And I've also just

0:35:20.520 --> 0:35:24.520
<v Speaker 1>recently heard that they're bringing back Friday night games. Oh wow,

0:35:24.800 --> 0:35:28.160
<v Speaker 1>so that would be really interesting. So look, yeah, conversations

0:35:28.200 --> 0:35:31.560
<v Speaker 1>are happening behind closed doors. So yeah, I think they

0:35:31.560 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 1>are bringing back some of those things.

0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I hope I'll get to do something with big

0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:37.760
<v Speaker 2>brother Ben. I'd love I'd love to be able.

0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:39.680
<v Speaker 1>To well, you're the queen. If they don't bring your back,

0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:41.359
<v Speaker 1>people fucking riot.

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:45.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'd love to be even if I interview

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the housemates prior to going in or after coming out,

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:52.840
<v Speaker 2>or just something. You know, I think I don't have

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:56.319
<v Speaker 2>to be a housemate again. I'd love to be just

0:35:56.520 --> 0:35:57.959
<v Speaker 2>part of it in some way.

0:35:58.200 --> 0:36:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they Yes, they're doing another Big Brother, although if

0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:02.680
<v Speaker 1>they did bring back, if they did a proper All Stars,

0:36:02.680 --> 0:36:03.239
<v Speaker 1>would you do that?

0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, I absolutely love Big Brother. You know, I

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:11.759
<v Speaker 2>can't say no to it.

0:36:11.880 --> 0:36:13.440
<v Speaker 1>It's been a part of your life. I mean, I

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 1>think it's pretty obvious. Yeah, yeah, that's how you feel

0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:18.520
<v Speaker 1>about it. It'd be very weird. We're the sort of

0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:21.040
<v Speaker 1>person and there are some ex housemates that are like,

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:22.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to talk about it, or they try

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and pretend that dirty word and you just think.

0:36:25.280 --> 0:36:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what Yeah, yes, it's comb out there like that.

0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, before you go, I have to ask you the

0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:34.040
<v Speaker 1>same question I ask everybody, and this is like AID

0:36:34.200 --> 0:36:37.560
<v Speaker 1>five hundred and thirty. So, what is something from behind

0:36:37.600 --> 0:36:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the scenes of your experience if I'm a celebrity, something

0:36:40.320 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of a behind the scenes secret, something that people didn't

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:46.839
<v Speaker 1>see on television, kind of something that happened to you

0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:47.759
<v Speaker 1>that you can share.

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:50.919
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh shit, Oh I don't know, because I haven't

0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:53.319
<v Speaker 2>watched it all yet. Well, I was allowed to have

0:36:53.400 --> 0:36:56.120
<v Speaker 2>a torch to go to the toilet because, you know,

0:36:56.160 --> 0:36:58.759
<v Speaker 2>because I can't see in the dark, So maybe I

0:36:58.800 --> 0:37:01.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know whether they've shown me using my little torch

0:37:01.640 --> 0:37:02.680
<v Speaker 2>to go to the toilet.

0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Did they talk to you about what you could do though,

0:37:05.280 --> 0:37:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Like did you say I need a torch?

0:37:06.719 --> 0:37:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Or yes?

0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:10.000
<v Speaker 1>The conversation said that did you have? Because I love that.

0:37:10.000 --> 0:37:11.960
<v Speaker 1>There was a lot of people saying, oh, well, with

0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:15.399
<v Speaker 1>your disability, could you even do the show? You know, yeah,

0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I know about people. You know, can a person in

0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:19.759
<v Speaker 1>a wheelchair do this show? Can a person have you

0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:21.880
<v Speaker 1>know a walking stick? You know, There's been lots of

0:37:21.920 --> 0:37:24.719
<v Speaker 1>those conversations, so I can imagine they were very careful

0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:26.000
<v Speaker 1>about Yeah.

0:37:27.000 --> 0:37:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so no, definitely the torch. What else? Geez, I

0:37:34.160 --> 0:37:36.160
<v Speaker 2>can't think.

0:37:37.040 --> 0:37:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Don't get awkward. Look at Mattie Janey Spiedo's They would

0:37:39.520 --> 0:37:40.439
<v Speaker 1>have told you to do that.

0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:46.000
<v Speaker 3>One ah gosh, oh, I accidentally grabbed a hold of

0:37:46.040 --> 0:37:52.640
<v Speaker 3>his painot I when we're walking from the waterfall because

0:37:52.640 --> 0:37:56.680
<v Speaker 3>the trick the track to the waterfall ben is like.

0:37:56.880 --> 0:38:00.239
<v Speaker 2>It's very rugged and lots of tree roots and and

0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:03.560
<v Speaker 2>lots of rocks to climb over, and so Sam and

0:38:03.560 --> 0:38:07.239
<v Speaker 2>Maddie would take hands and help help and hold my

0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:09.319
<v Speaker 2>hand and to get because I could not do it

0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:12.200
<v Speaker 2>by myself. Anyways, So Maddie was being my guy dog

0:38:12.239 --> 0:38:17.080
<v Speaker 2>one day. He was hopeless. We're gone across the rocks,

0:38:17.120 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 2>all these big rocks. He's taken me the wrong way,

0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:22.480
<v Speaker 2>and luck he was holding my hand because I would

0:38:22.480 --> 0:38:27.600
<v Speaker 2>have fell anyway. Yes, I nearly fell, but when I fell,

0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:31.279
<v Speaker 2>my hand just automatically grabbed hold of his penis and

0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:34.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh my god, I'm so sorry, Maddie, I said,

0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:36.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm so sorry that just happened. But it was. But

0:38:36.680 --> 0:38:39.319
<v Speaker 2>we made a jocob it. Every time we went back

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:42.160
<v Speaker 2>to the waterfall, I'm like, oh, he's he's at rock

0:38:42.200 --> 0:38:45.319
<v Speaker 2>where I meant to trip again. So that was that

0:38:45.440 --> 0:38:45.920
<v Speaker 2>was funny.

0:38:46.080 --> 0:38:47.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say that's the funniest thing anyone's ever

0:38:47.880 --> 0:38:50.920
<v Speaker 1>said on my podcast ever. Really, Yeah, that is it.

0:38:51.040 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that says something about Mattie Jay's branch, you know,

0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 1>good branch to grab the way.

0:38:55.760 --> 0:38:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Down and mind. And gee, this was after we've been

0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:01.759
<v Speaker 2>in the in the cold water and it wasn't trupled up.

0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:06.680
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, yeah, I'm terrible, Reggie.

0:39:06.719 --> 0:39:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I genuinely Reggie. I'm just genuinely obsessed with you, not

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:13.000
<v Speaker 1>just as the person that I fell in love with,

0:39:13.040 --> 0:39:15.440
<v Speaker 1>on Big Brother all those years ago. But for the

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:18.960
<v Speaker 1>friendship that you've afforded me over the years. Out of

0:39:19.000 --> 0:39:22.120
<v Speaker 1>all of the Big Brother universe, you are always there

0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to answer your phone and have a chin wag. You're

0:39:24.480 --> 0:39:27.799
<v Speaker 1>always there to ask how you are. And whenever I

0:39:27.840 --> 0:39:30.319
<v Speaker 1>see you or whenever I get off the phone, I

0:39:30.400 --> 0:39:34.680
<v Speaker 1>always feel good. And isn't that the best thing about friendship? Ah?

0:39:34.760 --> 0:39:38.239
<v Speaker 2>It has been. And no, I'm glad you feel that way.

0:39:38.440 --> 0:39:41.919
<v Speaker 2>You know, like it's lovely. It's very lovely to hear

0:39:41.960 --> 0:39:42.680
<v Speaker 2>that you've.

0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Picked me up. And I you know, a lot of

0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:46.320
<v Speaker 1>people don't do that these days, a lot of people

0:39:46.360 --> 0:39:48.960
<v Speaker 1>still sort of obsessed with their own world. But yeah,

0:39:49.040 --> 0:39:50.160
<v Speaker 1>would you relate to people?

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Is?

0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:53.200
<v Speaker 1>You are empathetic and you're very kind. You put yourself

0:39:53.239 --> 0:39:57.319
<v Speaker 1>in people's shoes to people, and for that, I just, yeah,

0:39:57.480 --> 0:39:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I have to thank you.

0:39:58.480 --> 0:40:01.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh, thank you being what's outing to thank you again?

0:40:01.960 --> 0:40:04.279
