WEBVTT - LUKE PACKHAM -THE TRAITORS AUSTRALIA - NETWORK TEN

0:00:00.190 --> 0:00:01.650
<v Speaker 1>It's in the news today, but it was actually on

0:00:01.710 --> 0:00:05.560
<v Speaker 1>TV Reload, the podcast, last week. G'day guys, welcome back

0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:08.140
<v Speaker 1>to TV Reload. My name is Benjamin Norris and today

0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:11.260
<v Speaker 1>we are continuing our deep dive into the Traitors Australia

0:00:11.420 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>with a man who is quickly becoming something of a

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>reality television veteran. Luke Packham has survived Love Island, somehow

0:00:18.380 --> 0:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>survived three months on the block and now he has

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:23.660
<v Speaker 1>entered the manor alongside his twin brother Josh to take

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.299
<v Speaker 1>on the Traitors Australia. And I have to say, these

0:00:26.380 --> 0:00:29.300
<v Speaker 1>two have given me some of my favourite moments of

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:33.180
<v Speaker 1>the season. Today Luke is refreshingly honest about watching himself

0:00:33.260 --> 0:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>back on the show, including those moments where he was

0:00:36.470 --> 0:00:40.250
<v Speaker 1>absolutely convinced he had cracked the game, only to discover

0:00:40.570 --> 0:00:43.710
<v Speaker 1>that confidence can be a very dangerous thing inside the manor.

0:00:43.909 --> 0:00:46.910
<v Speaker 1>We also tackle those online theories about whether being a

0:00:46.990 --> 0:00:51.170
<v Speaker 1>twin gave Luke and Josh an unfair advantage, including one

0:00:51.210 --> 0:00:55.930
<v Speaker 1>particularly wild allegation I found online involving a name being

0:00:55.970 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>written down on a piece of cardboard. Plus, there's also

0:00:58.810 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>a fascinating reality TV connection involving the first eliminated contestant,

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.780
<v Speaker 1>Cam Merchant, that I stumbled across. And we're going to

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>find out if Luke actually knew about it himself, because bizarrely,

0:01:10.980 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>The Traitors isn't the first time that Luke and Josh

0:01:13.740 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>have seemingly swiped a reality TV opportunity from Cam. And

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Luke reveals what actually happened behind the scenes with that, so...

0:01:21.020 --> 0:01:24.060
<v Speaker 1>Some juicy goss there. We also get surprisingly candid about

0:01:24.100 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the block. What would have happened if one of the

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.149
<v Speaker 1>twins had become a traitor? And Luke reveals who he

0:01:29.209 --> 0:01:31.810
<v Speaker 1>thinks has actually played the best game. There's a lot

0:01:31.850 --> 0:01:34.649
<v Speaker 1>to unpack, guys, so let's bring in Luke Packham to

0:01:34.670 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>the Podcast TV Reload. That's where I've seen him. I've

0:01:38.220 --> 0:01:38.699
<v Speaker 1>seen him out.

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 2>That's where you would have seen him. You would have

0:01:40.700 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 2>seen him out for sure.

0:01:41.700 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think I ran into him. Don't let me go.

0:01:45.390 --> 0:01:49.780
<v Speaker 1>I ran into him once at like Kmart. So random.

0:01:50.310 --> 0:01:52.950
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, he lived there for a little bit. Besides

0:01:52.970 --> 0:01:55.610
<v Speaker 2>the block, I haven't spent any time in Melbourne, but

0:01:55.670 --> 0:01:56.630
<v Speaker 2>love to see him.

0:01:57.110 --> 0:01:58.590
<v Speaker 1>We should talk about the block. You had such a

0:01:58.610 --> 0:01:59.890
<v Speaker 1>good time making that show.

0:01:59.910 --> 0:02:03.250
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was a long three months long. That's what

0:02:03.290 --> 0:02:03.670
<v Speaker 2>that was.

0:02:04.140 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a lot of the cast of The Traders was

0:02:05.820 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>saying that you both were saying that it was the

0:02:08.740 --> 0:02:10.780
<v Speaker 1>worst of all the reality shows that you'd done.

0:02:11.100 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because it goes for three months. Like it's a long,

0:02:15.340 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 3>long time, you know, and for us as well, a

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.220
<v Speaker 3>long time away from your home, your family.

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:22.460
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:02:22.700 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a slog.

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.980
<v Speaker 3>Things happen on the show, you know, I don't, I

0:02:26.980 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 3>don't love how some things work on that show and

0:02:29.180 --> 0:02:32.220
<v Speaker 3>how other things play out. You know, that's why I

0:02:32.220 --> 0:02:36.020
<v Speaker 3>was really happy to do The Traders because I feel like,

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, it kind of shows you exactly how you

0:02:38.300 --> 0:02:40.299
<v Speaker 3>play and who you are and you can't really hide

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 3>from that. So that's why I said yes to The

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:44.149
<v Speaker 3>Traders and I'm glad I did.

0:02:44.430 --> 0:02:46.990
<v Speaker 1>It's a real hands-off reality show, which is amazing because

0:02:47.030 --> 0:02:49.590
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of these shows have a lot of producers,

0:02:49.669 --> 0:02:52.730
<v Speaker 1>you know, working behind the scenes where this is great

0:02:52.810 --> 0:02:55.010
<v Speaker 1>because they literally put you in there for 12 days

0:02:55.150 --> 0:02:57.250
<v Speaker 1>and it's up to you as to how much you

0:02:57.270 --> 0:02:59.370
<v Speaker 1>want to fuck with your own head. Exactly.

0:02:59.490 --> 0:03:02.859
<v Speaker 2>And I did a lot of that. You don't need

0:03:02.900 --> 0:03:03.619
<v Speaker 2>any help with that.

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 3>You just start to unravel it yourself and you just

0:03:06.139 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 3>go down rabbit holes. And that's where the phase is

0:03:09.860 --> 0:03:12.980
<v Speaker 3>great because you just get left and it's like, go

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:17.290
<v Speaker 3>figure it out. And yeah, your mind just goes in tangents.

0:03:17.389 --> 0:03:20.110
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, that's why I really enjoyed it.

0:03:20.410 --> 0:03:22.910
<v Speaker 1>Well, you gave some of the best moments of this season,

0:03:23.210 --> 0:03:25.690
<v Speaker 1>I think with your brother, because yes, you managed to

0:03:25.740 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>get a few of the traders correct, which is amazing.

0:03:28.180 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Kudos to that. But also your determination with some of

0:03:31.460 --> 0:03:33.980
<v Speaker 1>the facts that were wrong was so delicious to watch

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.190
<v Speaker 1>because you guys were so onto it. You were like,

0:03:36.340 --> 0:03:39.830
<v Speaker 1>it's this person. And is that been hard for you

0:03:39.870 --> 0:03:42.490
<v Speaker 1>to watch? Because I could imagine people don't realize this

0:03:42.530 --> 0:03:45.250
<v Speaker 1>when you're playing traders, when you're in the competition.

0:03:45.270 --> 0:03:45.370
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:03:45.550 --> 0:03:47.870
<v Speaker 1>It's impossible to work out who these people are.

0:03:48.090 --> 0:03:48.250
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:03:48.410 --> 0:03:49.910
<v Speaker 1>I can imagine you got a little bit drunk on

0:03:49.940 --> 0:03:53.340
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you picked two. So you were like, okay.

0:03:54.820 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>That's where your mind kind of goes.

0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 3>And, you know, because I played such a dangerous game of,

0:04:00.220 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, really pushing to get them out. I felt,

0:04:02.900 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, I probably went a step too far. And

0:04:04.940 --> 0:04:06.620
<v Speaker 3>I was like, now there's no going back. Now I

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.300
<v Speaker 3>have to keep pushing because.

0:04:08.140 --> 0:04:08.940
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to get murdered.

0:04:09.540 --> 0:04:12.090
<v Speaker 3>And watching it back, it is nice to know that,

0:04:12.210 --> 0:04:14.110
<v Speaker 3>you know, Kirby and Reese were going to murder me

0:04:14.150 --> 0:04:14.630
<v Speaker 3>that night.

0:04:15.090 --> 0:04:16.529
<v Speaker 2>In the end, it was a death match.

0:04:17.089 --> 0:04:19.450
<v Speaker 3>And even if I'd gotten it right that night, I

0:04:19.510 --> 0:04:21.390
<v Speaker 3>still would have gone home through the death match.

0:04:21.410 --> 0:04:22.570
<v Speaker 2>It was already pre-decided.

0:04:22.690 --> 0:04:24.849
<v Speaker 3>So, you know, I knew I had to keep making

0:04:24.890 --> 0:04:27.110
<v Speaker 3>big moves and it blew up in my face.

0:04:27.589 --> 0:04:29.050
<v Speaker 2>I felt so much pressure.

0:04:29.450 --> 0:04:31.510
<v Speaker 3>That I had to keep going and I had to

0:04:31.550 --> 0:04:34.710
<v Speaker 3>convince myself I was completely right. If not, if I

0:04:34.730 --> 0:04:37.070
<v Speaker 3>went in there with any doubt, if I changed my

0:04:37.110 --> 0:04:40.650
<v Speaker 3>mind and I got it wrong and Claudia actually was

0:04:40.710 --> 0:04:42.870
<v Speaker 3>a traitor, I would have never lived with myself. I

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 3>would have never let it down to myself. So I

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.860
<v Speaker 3>was like, at least if I'm right, I'm right. And

0:04:46.900 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 3>if I'm wrong, at least I was always, I can

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.260
<v Speaker 3>leave saying, yeah, I was never going to change my

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:52.630
<v Speaker 3>mind and I was bang on it.

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 2>And that's how I left.

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I think people want to know though, has there been

0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>any embarrassment watching it back? Do you feel a little cringierama?

0:05:01.870 --> 0:05:04.650
<v Speaker 3>Like, look, of course, like, you know, I said things like,

0:05:04.690 --> 0:05:06.790
<v Speaker 3>you know, if I had not been around the bush

0:05:06.810 --> 0:05:08.110
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, you know, I think I could

0:05:08.130 --> 0:05:10.940
<v Speaker 3>be one of the best or best. You know, that's

0:05:11.100 --> 0:05:13.500
<v Speaker 3>in the moment I'm feeling that, you know, and I'm

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.980
<v Speaker 3>trying to use that energy to find the next trader.

0:05:17.060 --> 0:05:18.860
<v Speaker 2>And, you know, that's just how it was. But watching

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:19.539
<v Speaker 2>it back now.

0:05:19.580 --> 0:05:21.859
<v Speaker 3>Like at times, you know, I've had to bite the

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 3>pillow and, you know, hide, you know, I can't watch it.

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.820
<v Speaker 3>You know, but it's just for a moment or two.

0:05:28.900 --> 0:05:31.740
<v Speaker 3>And besides that, you know, I have been okay. And

0:05:32.060 --> 0:05:35.580
<v Speaker 3>with myself, yeah, sometimes it's tough, but you got to

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.100
<v Speaker 3>be prepared to eat humble pie. And that's the game

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.750
<v Speaker 3>I played. So, you know, for the most part, I'm like, yeah,

0:05:40.870 --> 0:05:43.529
<v Speaker 3>you know, I went for it and I got it wrong.

0:05:43.930 --> 0:05:45.170
<v Speaker 3>And that's the trace.

0:05:45.230 --> 0:05:46.550
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Was I overconfident?

0:05:46.650 --> 0:05:46.950
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:05:47.550 --> 0:05:49.670
<v Speaker 3>But I felt I put myself in a position where

0:05:49.690 --> 0:05:52.950
<v Speaker 3>I had to continue being overconfident because there was no

0:05:53.010 --> 0:05:54.969
<v Speaker 3>turning back for me by that stage.

0:05:54.990 --> 0:05:55.130
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:05:55.380 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, I have to come clean with you because I've

0:05:57.460 --> 0:05:59.420
<v Speaker 1>said on a couple of other podcasts, because they're like,

0:05:59.460 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, twins, that's an advantage. I mean, these twins

0:06:02.580 --> 0:06:05.260
<v Speaker 1>would have an advantage, but I'm like, yes, but these twins,

0:06:05.610 --> 0:06:07.489
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to their advantage, they're going to fumble

0:06:07.529 --> 0:06:11.050
<v Speaker 1>the ball. And I feel bad about saying this behind

0:06:11.070 --> 0:06:13.170
<v Speaker 1>my back. So I'm making sure I tell you now.

0:06:13.730 --> 0:06:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I just thought you're good casting because like maybe other

0:06:16.500 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 1>twins might be a little bit more switched on. But

0:06:18.420 --> 0:06:21.300
<v Speaker 1>I think for the two of you being sublime, to

0:06:21.339 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>watch twins, you know, get a few things wrong, but

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.130
<v Speaker 1>I guess at the same time, commit to the game,

0:06:26.350 --> 0:06:26.610
<v Speaker 1>you know?

0:06:27.010 --> 0:06:27.250
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:06:27.470 --> 0:06:30.830
<v Speaker 3>Like for me, what's more frustrating isn't really how Josh

0:06:30.850 --> 0:06:33.500
<v Speaker 3>and I played at it. For me, what's frustrating watching

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 3>it back is people that don't say anything at all,

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:41.029
<v Speaker 3>you know, or have knowledge of, or, you know, say,

0:06:41.070 --> 0:06:42.490
<v Speaker 3>for instance... Oh.

0:06:42.510 --> 0:06:44.470
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about Tully. Is that what you're talking about?

0:06:44.670 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm actually talking about, you know, say, Rob at

0:06:47.339 --> 0:06:50.739
<v Speaker 3>the start when he had information, you know, strong feelings

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.820
<v Speaker 3>on Kirby and, you know, I had a very good

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.940
<v Speaker 3>relationship with Rob in the house and I never knew

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 3>any of those suspicions, you know.

0:06:57.930 --> 0:07:00.410
<v Speaker 2>For me, that's way more frustrating watching than, you know,

0:07:00.450 --> 0:07:03.090
<v Speaker 2>how Josh and I played. You know, at least, you know, where.

0:07:03.710 --> 0:07:06.729
<v Speaker 3>open to saying things and seeing what sticks to the

0:07:06.770 --> 0:07:09.660
<v Speaker 3>wall and what doesn't. Whereas a lot of other people

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 3>will potentially have some really good information and just refuse

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:14.679
<v Speaker 3>to share it because they're too.

0:07:14.580 --> 0:07:17.470
<v Speaker 2>Afraid of being murdered or being banished.

0:07:17.710 --> 0:07:19.930
<v Speaker 3>So I much prefer to stick myself out there and

0:07:20.190 --> 0:07:22.810
<v Speaker 3>make good TV and try and find traders and sit

0:07:22.850 --> 0:07:23.330
<v Speaker 3>on my hands.

0:07:23.950 --> 0:07:28.810
<v Speaker 1>But what about this? People have acclaimed, claimed online that

0:07:28.830 --> 0:07:31.710
<v Speaker 1>there's cheating going on because you're twins. Now, I want

0:07:31.740 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to unpack this with you because you know what? You

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.140
<v Speaker 1>were both cast on this show and twins would have

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>an advantage. You'd obviously have secret ways of being able

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.260
<v Speaker 1>to communicate. Now's the time to answer this question. Is

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.940
<v Speaker 1>there a chance that while you were making this show

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:49.990
<v Speaker 1>that you used your twin intuition to People are listening

0:07:50.010 --> 0:07:51.370
<v Speaker 1>to this podcast and they can't see it. So they

0:07:51.390 --> 0:07:54.450
<v Speaker 1>can't see that my eyes are like twin intuition. Anyway,

0:07:54.910 --> 0:07:57.090
<v Speaker 1>let's put an end to this because like I've heard

0:07:57.130 --> 0:07:59.060
<v Speaker 1>a few different theories. I've heard that you guys have

0:07:59.100 --> 0:08:01.180
<v Speaker 1>secret ways of being able to communicate things that happen

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>throughout the show. I heard that you wrote like Kirby's

0:08:03.580 --> 0:08:05.580
<v Speaker 1>name down on a piece of cardboard and passed it

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 1>over like a birthday card. We want to put an

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>end to this.

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 3>I would have loved to have done that, but there's

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 3>no chance you can do any of that.

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.060
<v Speaker 2>Like, People don't understand.

0:08:16.220 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 3>People can come up with as many theories as they like.

0:08:19.860 --> 0:08:21.900
<v Speaker 3>For Josh and I, we felt there was a major

0:08:21.940 --> 0:08:24.500
<v Speaker 3>disadvantage going in together because I was going to be

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.730
<v Speaker 3>a target on our back. And I think from the

0:08:26.870 --> 0:08:31.170
<v Speaker 3>first moment when Shane's up there, prime choice to pick

0:08:31.250 --> 0:08:33.290
<v Speaker 3>one of us straight away. There's two of them. One

0:08:33.309 --> 0:08:35.950
<v Speaker 3>needs to go. The decision was right there for her.

0:08:35.870 --> 0:08:36.530
<v Speaker 2>From day one.

0:08:36.550 --> 0:08:38.969
<v Speaker 3>So I always felt our walls were were kind of

0:08:39.050 --> 0:08:41.730
<v Speaker 3>fighting to stay in the show from day one. And

0:08:42.010 --> 0:08:44.270
<v Speaker 3>what we did was, at the start, we stayed well

0:08:44.300 --> 0:08:47.500
<v Speaker 3>away from each other. I barely spoke a word to

0:08:47.540 --> 0:08:50.490
<v Speaker 3>Josh first. the first three days or something.

0:08:50.890 --> 0:08:52.710
<v Speaker 1>I watched that. I was like, look at these two.

0:08:53.030 --> 0:08:55.050
<v Speaker 1>But like, I've got friends, I've been friends with twins.

0:08:55.090 --> 0:08:56.770
<v Speaker 1>I went to school with high school twins.

0:08:56.790 --> 0:09:01.380
<v Speaker 2>There's no intermission. There's no like, nothing like that. Other

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.469
<v Speaker 2>twins have that. Brilliant for them. But for Josh and I,

0:09:05.100 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 2>not at all.

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 3>In retrospect, sometimes like we actually got more frustrated with

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 3>each other because like what you saw in the Kirby

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.830
<v Speaker 3>Alex conversations, you know, I'll be very strong on Alex

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:15.929
<v Speaker 3>and No, no, no.

0:09:16.150 --> 0:09:18.550
<v Speaker 2>I like Alex. And he's like, it's Kirby. I'm like, no,

0:09:18.590 --> 0:09:19.630
<v Speaker 2>I don't see that.

0:09:19.990 --> 0:09:21.490
<v Speaker 1>But those girls kind of played the two of you

0:09:21.510 --> 0:09:24.790
<v Speaker 1>because both of you picked a traitor to support because

0:09:24.830 --> 0:09:26.410
<v Speaker 1>they were your friend. Did they?

0:09:26.429 --> 0:09:27.820
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

0:09:28.010 --> 0:09:30.940
<v Speaker 3>So I don't really see how like we helped each

0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 3>other in any way or anything.

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.679
<v Speaker 1>You're actually a bit of a disadvantage to each other

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:35.620
<v Speaker 1>is what you're.

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Trying to say. Yeah.

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.180
<v Speaker 3>Like we've only done one show, which we cheated at

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.500
<v Speaker 3>and that was the block. We're not doing another show. So,

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.780
<v Speaker 3>you know, with the whole cheating scan on the block, like,

0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:43.839
<v Speaker 3>you know, and that's where.

0:09:44.140 --> 0:09:45.620
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's on brand. I don't know.

0:09:46.620 --> 0:09:50.050
<v Speaker 3>That's, that's why, you know, I was very happy to

0:09:50.090 --> 0:09:52.209
<v Speaker 3>actually play the game as a faithful because, you know,

0:09:52.230 --> 0:09:54.809
<v Speaker 3>because of the block and, you know, even though every

0:09:54.830 --> 0:09:58.090
<v Speaker 3>single person in the block had the same information as

0:09:58.270 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 3>us on that show, I was really happy to play

0:10:01.620 --> 0:10:03.420
<v Speaker 3>the game as a faithful instead of a trade-off.

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.970
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, in the end, it worked out fine for me.

0:10:06.490 --> 0:10:08.330
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what was really juicy for me, knowing

0:10:08.350 --> 0:10:10.830
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of industry stuff that I thought was amazing,

0:10:11.050 --> 0:10:15.189
<v Speaker 1>was not allowing Cam to be in the show was

0:10:15.470 --> 0:10:18.199
<v Speaker 1>really hilarious to me because you might not even know this,

0:10:18.260 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>but Cam and Jules were supposed to be your spots

0:10:22.540 --> 0:10:23.839
<v Speaker 1>on the block. Did you know that?

0:10:23.860 --> 0:10:24.819
<v Speaker 2>I did know that.

0:10:25.059 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 1>So they dropped out of the block so that... you

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.420
<v Speaker 1>would then get cast on the show with your twin brother. However,

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.220
<v Speaker 1>he turns up again and you've stolen something else from him.

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:34.100
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel bad?

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, I, yeah, with the block, yeah, I had about

0:10:37.059 --> 0:10:39.210
<v Speaker 3>two and a half, three weeks notice for that one.

0:10:39.230 --> 0:10:41.900
<v Speaker 2>For this one, I fought for him to be on

0:10:41.950 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 2>the show.

0:10:42.330 --> 0:10:44.450
<v Speaker 3>So I don't feel any, I sleep well at night

0:10:44.510 --> 0:10:46.350
<v Speaker 3>knowing that I fought very hard for Karen to be

0:10:46.370 --> 0:10:48.890
<v Speaker 3>on the show. Other people, other people can have that,

0:10:49.150 --> 0:10:51.949
<v Speaker 3>you know, conversation with you, why they decided not to

0:10:51.990 --> 0:10:54.270
<v Speaker 3>bring him in. But Josh and I fought very hard.

0:10:54.309 --> 0:10:55.710
<v Speaker 3>So I feel that debt repaid.

0:10:55.990 --> 0:10:57.550
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I think needs to happen though?

0:10:57.830 --> 0:10:58.090
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:10:58.510 --> 0:11:00.429
<v Speaker 1>We need to bring him back next year. Like if

0:11:00.910 --> 0:11:03.429
<v Speaker 1>they're rolling with another series, he needs to be allowed

0:11:03.470 --> 0:11:05.550
<v Speaker 1>to come in with an immunity pen or something.

0:11:05.570 --> 0:11:07.989
<v Speaker 3>Don't think you get any, don't think you get an

0:11:08.010 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 3>immunity pen, but I'm all for him getting back in there.

0:11:10.740 --> 0:11:11.689
<v Speaker 2>Have you seen.

0:11:11.510 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Jules online being like, Oh my God, we hate this show.

0:11:14.140 --> 0:11:14.980
<v Speaker 1>She's gone viral.

0:11:15.460 --> 0:11:17.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I watched what she said. I don't

0:11:17.460 --> 0:11:18.820
<v Speaker 2>think she said she hated the show.

0:11:19.179 --> 0:11:22.440
<v Speaker 3>I feel, you know, she just felt like the injustice

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.750
<v Speaker 3>to Cam, like the humanity of other people, not bringing

0:11:24.780 --> 0:11:25.059
<v Speaker 3>him in.

0:11:25.470 --> 0:11:26.790
<v Speaker 2>And that's the whole point in the game.

0:11:26.809 --> 0:11:29.150
<v Speaker 3>Like this isn't the first time on the traders where

0:11:29.670 --> 0:11:32.070
<v Speaker 3>someone's been discarded at the beginning and, don't get brought

0:11:32.110 --> 0:11:34.510
<v Speaker 3>back in it's the ruthlessness of the show and you

0:11:35.010 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 3>know some people's like humanitarian like humanity and morals get

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.780
<v Speaker 3>left at the door and you're told by gretel at

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.620
<v Speaker 3>the start of the show you can be as naughty

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.140
<v Speaker 3>or as nice as you like it's your decision then

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.370
<v Speaker 3>some people want to play that way others want to

0:11:49.410 --> 0:11:51.710
<v Speaker 3>play nice you know it's up to you how you

0:11:51.730 --> 0:11:53.870
<v Speaker 3>want to play and until you're in there you don't

0:11:53.890 --> 0:11:54.689
<v Speaker 3>know what you're going to.

0:11:54.570 --> 0:11:57.370
<v Speaker 1>Do She's great on this show, Gretel Colleen, just mentioning that. Like,

0:11:57.390 --> 0:11:59.069
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you all managed to keep a

0:11:59.090 --> 0:12:01.170
<v Speaker 1>straight face through some of her dialogue. Like some of

0:12:01.190 --> 0:12:04.100
<v Speaker 1>the things that she said, I was like, I don't

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:05.459
<v Speaker 1>know how well I'd play along with that.

0:12:06.700 --> 0:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>She's brilliant.

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.620
<v Speaker 3>Like out of, you know, I've had some other reality shows.

0:12:11.700 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 3>I've done some great posts, you know, all different and unique.

0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:17.100
<v Speaker 3>Gretel's brilliant professional.

0:12:17.460 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:12:17.900 --> 0:12:19.620
<v Speaker 1>So this year for Christmas, if you're going to send

0:12:19.660 --> 0:12:23.620
<v Speaker 1>a Christmas card to Sophie Monk, Gretel Colleen or Scotty Cam.

0:12:23.780 --> 0:12:24.610
<v Speaker 1>You can only choose one.

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:29.110
<v Speaker 2>Gretel. Gretel. I love Sophie. Love Sophie, but Gretel.

0:12:29.410 --> 0:12:32.610
<v Speaker 1>I'll get her on the phone. We'll ask her. Okay.

0:12:32.809 --> 0:12:35.270
<v Speaker 1>Before you go, I want to ask you, who do

0:12:35.309 --> 0:12:40.270
<v Speaker 1>you think, excluding yourself, was the best faithful in your series?

0:12:41.580 --> 0:12:46.179
<v Speaker 3>To be honest, the best one, I feel it would

0:12:46.420 --> 0:12:51.220
<v Speaker 3>actually be Henry. Even though he got one out of

0:12:51.260 --> 0:12:54.340
<v Speaker 3>three right in what he said, I just really respect

0:12:54.380 --> 0:12:56.439
<v Speaker 3>that he gave it a go and he said it

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.510
<v Speaker 3>with conviction. Even though I had to really fight him

0:12:59.570 --> 0:13:03.110
<v Speaker 3>and try and vote him out, which I did luckily

0:13:03.250 --> 0:13:06.490
<v Speaker 3>for my own safety in the show, I respect that

0:13:06.510 --> 0:13:10.449
<v Speaker 3>he tried and he came out and said his piece

0:13:10.910 --> 0:13:13.309
<v Speaker 3>and really fought for himself, you know, to try and

0:13:13.330 --> 0:13:15.250
<v Speaker 3>do the best thing for the show and to find

0:13:15.270 --> 0:13:19.990
<v Speaker 3>traders where there's a lot of people that have information that.

0:13:19.150 --> 0:13:19.910
<v Speaker 2>Just sat on their hands.

0:13:19.970 --> 0:13:23.429
<v Speaker 3>So I really applaud him, you know, as a faithful

0:13:23.670 --> 0:13:26.580
<v Speaker 3>for kind of falling on his sword early, trying to

0:13:27.030 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 3>fight to get traders out even early.

0:13:29.460 --> 0:13:30.620
<v Speaker 2>I really respect that.

0:13:31.190 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>What a great guy as well. I love him.

0:13:33.380 --> 0:13:36.820
<v Speaker 2>He's a lovely guy. Like we, you know, we spoke

0:13:36.860 --> 0:13:39.110
<v Speaker 2>quite a few times on the phone. Awesome guy.

0:13:39.710 --> 0:13:39.990
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:13:40.230 --> 0:13:41.510
<v Speaker 2>Really nice natured guy.

0:13:41.980 --> 0:13:43.990
<v Speaker 1>Before I ask you about who the best trader is,

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.110
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask you, if you and your brother

0:13:47.410 --> 0:13:49.410
<v Speaker 1>had been... One of you had been made a trader,

0:13:49.750 --> 0:13:51.550
<v Speaker 1>how would that have played out? Do you.

0:13:52.170 --> 0:13:54.650
<v Speaker 2>We'll never know, will we? It's so tough.

0:13:54.870 --> 0:13:57.829
<v Speaker 1>You need to tell me now because this is obviously...

0:13:57.170 --> 0:13:58.929
<v Speaker 1>I've got you. You need to tell me how that

0:13:58.950 --> 0:13:59.729
<v Speaker 1>was going to play out.

0:13:59.870 --> 0:14:00.929
<v Speaker 2>How I feel, like.

0:14:01.250 --> 0:14:03.970
<v Speaker 3>Well, to be fair enough with you, Josh thought I

0:14:04.010 --> 0:14:06.390
<v Speaker 3>was a traitor at the start for a couple of nights.

0:14:06.450 --> 0:14:07.579
<v Speaker 2>He was suspicious on me.

0:14:07.770 --> 0:14:11.380
<v Speaker 3>Like he was, you know, he wasn't saying it out loud,

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 3>but he told me later, he's like, I was very

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 3>suspicious of you and I was really worried. And he's like,

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.960
<v Speaker 3>it only took a couple of days before I.

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:20.739
<v Speaker 2>We were so far apart from each other, like we

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:21.660
<v Speaker 2>didn't have conversations.

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.300
<v Speaker 3>So it was only when we started having conversations where

0:14:24.350 --> 0:14:26.410
<v Speaker 3>he was like, yeah, you know, I can tell you're

0:14:26.430 --> 0:14:27.170
<v Speaker 3>not a traitor now.

0:14:27.230 --> 0:14:28.140
<v Speaker 2>So if I.

0:14:28.980 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 3>If I was a trader from the get-go, I would

0:14:31.780 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 3>have had a big decision to make whether I'd take

0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:35.060
<v Speaker 3>him out straight away.

0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.609
<v Speaker 1>I think you would. I reckon knowing you as well

0:14:37.650 --> 0:14:39.510
<v Speaker 1>as I do, I've had you on the podcast a

0:14:39.550 --> 0:14:42.730
<v Speaker 1>couple of times. I reckon you guys as twins, you

0:14:42.770 --> 0:14:45.170
<v Speaker 1>would be like, in actual fact, I think you would

0:14:45.250 --> 0:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>both do it at a time.

0:14:46.660 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:48.820
<v Speaker 1>I need to get rid of them straight away.

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 2>I would have respected that from him if he'd done

0:14:51.660 --> 0:14:52.900
<v Speaker 2>that and vice versa.

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.810
<v Speaker 3>We would have been pissed off with each other, but

0:14:55.850 --> 0:14:58.690
<v Speaker 3>respect the gameplay that you're in that position. And as

0:14:58.750 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 3>a trailer, you have a heavy cloak on and you've

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 3>got to try and keep eyes off you.

0:15:03.300 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 2>So why not take your brother out? and try and make.

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 3>Yourself look like a faithful. So, you know, we probably

0:15:08.300 --> 0:15:09.990
<v Speaker 3>would have done that at some early stage.

0:15:10.450 --> 0:15:12.710
<v Speaker 1>Eric, I love this. And so who's your favorite? Who

0:15:12.730 --> 0:15:14.550
<v Speaker 1>do you think played the best? Who was the best trader?

0:15:14.670 --> 0:15:16.070
<v Speaker 1>You've got four traders to choose from.

0:15:16.550 --> 0:15:17.250
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:15:17.630 --> 0:15:19.880
<v Speaker 3>To be honest, even though it's only been a couple

0:15:19.940 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 3>of days, I'm loving Reese, like how Reese is playing.

0:15:24.140 --> 0:15:26.860
<v Speaker 3>I've said from the get-go, I thought Reece played a

0:15:27.140 --> 0:15:29.590
<v Speaker 3>wonderful game while I was in the house.

0:15:29.930 --> 0:15:30.630
<v Speaker 2>That's why I was.

0:15:30.710 --> 0:15:33.670
<v Speaker 3>A little bit sussed because Reece is a comedian. Reece

0:15:33.690 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 3>command rooms. But at the round table... Just as enough,

0:15:39.140 --> 0:15:42.740
<v Speaker 3>doesn't say too much. You know, has people a little

0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:47.450
<v Speaker 3>bit sus on him, on them, but just not enough suspicion.

0:15:47.550 --> 0:15:49.570
<v Speaker 2>Just going under the radar, saying that they don't know

0:15:49.630 --> 0:15:52.250
<v Speaker 2>who the traders are. What a wonderful trader.

0:15:52.270 --> 0:15:56.020
<v Speaker 3>So, yeah, you know, for where we are in the show,

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.380
<v Speaker 3>I've really respected Reece's gameplay.

0:15:58.400 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 2>I love it.

0:15:58.980 --> 0:16:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I want a behind the scenes secret from you. And

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I think a good one could be someone had said,

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.350
<v Speaker 1>so this is how I finished my podcast behind the

0:16:05.370 --> 0:16:08.470
<v Speaker 1>scenes secret. Whether or not you can reveal this, someone

0:16:08.530 --> 0:16:11.290
<v Speaker 1>said to me in the traders all around the world

0:16:11.630 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to create some tension before you sit around the table.

0:16:15.860 --> 0:16:19.620
<v Speaker 1>They play, like, some really unusual song or music to

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.570
<v Speaker 1>try and make you all a little bit, I don't know, crazy?

0:16:23.710 --> 0:16:24.870
<v Speaker 1>Are we allowed to mention this?

0:16:25.810 --> 0:16:27.210
<v Speaker 2>No, you can ask what you like.

0:16:27.450 --> 0:16:30.350
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Is that true? Do they play some weird music

0:16:30.410 --> 0:16:32.270
<v Speaker 1>before the roundtable starts?

0:16:32.650 --> 0:16:34.630
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what they do in other countries, but

0:16:34.830 --> 0:16:37.030
<v Speaker 3>for me, no. Like, as soon as we sit in there, like,

0:16:37.810 --> 0:16:41.410
<v Speaker 3>we're in silence. and it's very anxious, and then it's

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:46.500
<v Speaker 3>time to go. You're already in the mood. As soon

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:50.460
<v Speaker 3>as you're in there, the anxiety, you know, part of

0:16:50.500 --> 0:16:54.060
<v Speaker 3>what happens, what you see is what I'll always discuss

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:59.380
<v Speaker 3>on camera. I'll try and be professional. So, yeah, when

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.060
<v Speaker 3>you're in there, you start it, and you start talking,

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.900
<v Speaker 3>and away you go. But, yeah, the mood's set, so

0:17:05.940 --> 0:17:06.500
<v Speaker 3>you're ready to go.

0:17:06.900 --> 0:17:07.380
<v Speaker 2>Amazing.

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, I look forward to seeing you on your next

0:17:09.580 --> 0:17:12.010
<v Speaker 1>reality show.

0:17:12.190 --> 0:17:12.830
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we'll see.

0:17:12.869 --> 0:17:14.550
<v Speaker 1>What else have we got left? I don't know. You're

0:17:14.570 --> 0:17:16.350
<v Speaker 1>slowly punching the date card.

0:17:16.810 --> 0:17:18.770
<v Speaker 2>We'll see. We'll see. There's another one in me.

0:17:18.869 --> 0:17:21.429
<v Speaker 1>All the networks, just hitting them out one by one.

0:17:22.950 --> 0:17:23.910
<v Speaker 2>Yep, everyone.

0:17:25.130 --> 0:17:26.689
<v Speaker 1>Thanks, mate, for being so generous.

0:17:26.859 --> 0:17:27.439
<v Speaker 2>Not a problem.

0:17:27.580 --> 0:17:30.420
<v Speaker 1>Chatting with me today. And, you know, I was kind

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.380
<v Speaker 1>of nervous about talking about some of this because I'm like,

0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 1>do I tell him that I think that they were

0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:35.880
<v Speaker 1>cast as twins because I think that they would fumble

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.140
<v Speaker 1>the ball? But I was like, you guys would enjoy that.

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.710
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely. We're a good sport. Not a problem. Amazing.

0:17:41.970 --> 0:17:42.930
<v Speaker 1>Enjoy chatting to the media.

0:17:43.050 --> 0:17:43.570
<v Speaker 2>Cheers. Thank you, mate.
