1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: And Amanda gam Nation.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: Well, any big TV show in Australia and chances I've

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: seen Rob Carlton in it from Water Rats, Blue Heelers, Boys, Swallows,

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Universe soon to feature in the new season of White Lotus.

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask him about that, but he also

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: has a new one man show called Willing Participant. Rob Carlton.

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 3: Hello, here he is, Hi, Rob?

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 4: Oh, hang on mate, there you are Jones pressing.

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 3: All that Jim y Raie our young generation. Why person

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 3: couldn't come in today because jes pressing? He went to

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 3: the Mary McKillop. What's called exhibition, what's called museum?

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 4: He just went to a cafe there. Don't conflate the

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 4: two things.

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I don't know what happened.

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 4: But he hasn't been jinxed. But Rob high, Hello.

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm desperately worried about the young fellow with the buttons.

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: He's gone missing at the Mary McKillop.

18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 4: Music sounds like an episode.

19
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: You're not sent someone to get someone roll. You don't

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: have a young person rolling around there after hours there

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: felt perish.

22
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: That'd be kind of spooky. I look at you. You're

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: doing a one man's show. Is this because you've just

24
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: done everything else.

25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, that's the horrible flip side, isn't it. No

26
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: one will work with me, Jonesy. No one will work

27
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: with me? Yeah no, Look I've done this one. It's honestly.

28
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: My children have now left home and I can now

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: afford to get to get out on the road and

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: do some traveling.

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 4: So what's the one man's show? What do you do?

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: I picture a one man band where you bang a

33
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: drum and play the trumpet.

34
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: It's not as horrendous as that, although I do love

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: those guys with the symbols between their knees as they

36
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: roll around the streets playing the harmonica in their mouth.

37
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: So my one man show, it's very simple. So a

38
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: lot of people would be used to seeing these specials

39
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: on Netflix, or they or a comedian for one hour. Well,

40
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm on stage for one hour, but it's not a

41
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: stand up show. I'm telling four true stories and the

42
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: stories are real, but they're fun, but they'll also make

43
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: you feel a lot of things. The easiest way of

44
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: describing it. The difference to a stand up show is

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: when people come out. If you've gone with friends, you'll

46
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: want to sit down and start sharing your own stories.

47
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: You'll tell different stories from different parts of your life.

48
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: So my four stories, one comes from my early twenties,

49
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: then my mid twenties, and then my father passes away

50
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: when I'm a bit older and I take his ashes

51
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: for a bike ride. I tell that story, and then

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: a little later on, I go for a mid career

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: pivot and I tell a bit of a story about that.

54
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: So it's kind of rolling around in these different feelings

55
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: we have in different parts of our lives, and I

56
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: share these things truly with vulnerability, but with you know,

57
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm a bit of a fool in it too because

58
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: I make some mistakes. So there's some snort out loud

59
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: laughter going on. But you'll connect with some real things,

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: and then history tells me you'll want to chat to

61
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: your friends about it and share all your own bits.

62
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: So it's kind of it's a different sort of thing,

63
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: but people, people are loving it. We've been having a

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: great time. We went to Adelaide Fringe and we we

65
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: knocked it out of the park there and so yeah,

66
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: it's I just can't wait to do it, and I've

67
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: been just loving doing it. Man, It's just something really

68
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: exciting and dangerous about rolling out on stage just by yourself.

69
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 3: Also, these days it's a little fraud because now you've

70
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: got the onsought of the heckler, like Jim Jefferies had

71
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: that guy Jerry sign for. You might get a moment,

72
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 3: you might get a breastfeeding moment.

73
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: I know where you're coming, where you're going with this,

74
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: and if you come along and you start heckling, you

75
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: do your best. It's one on one. But I love

76
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: to lock horns.

77
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: I'd love to breastfeed a child. Mind breastfeeding a child.

78
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: Can you tell me about the White Lotusing.

79
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm fascinated because this show has taken the world by storm.

80
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 4: What's what's going on with you?

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: Oh? Look, I was lucky enough, lucky enough to get

82
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: a rolled in White Lotus earlier this year, so I

83
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: went over to Thailand, and I think I can say that, Well,

84
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: of course, we're stepping into a legal minefield at the moment. Amanda.

85
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: That's what I've always liked about you as an investigative journalist.

86
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: You're always hitting hard questions. So I think I'm now

87
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the range of things I'm allowed

88
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: to talk about. But the main part of it is, look,

89
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: I did it was wonderful. I went over there, and

90
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: as you know, it's the most exciting show. But again,

91
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 1: where for me it's exciting is that it's not based

92
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: on a book. And don't get me wrong, I love

93
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: TV series based on books because they seem to have

94
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: a real richness about them. But the thing with Mike White,

95
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: and this is the whole business. We're all going over

96
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: there because you're there for the Mike White journey, and

97
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: he's telling these extraordinary stories that have come out of

98
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: his brain, you know, and a lot of them predicated

99
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: on his experiences and things that he's heard and seen.

100
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: And everyone's just getting around this and telling these really

101
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: odd stories about people trying to be loved, trying to

102
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: fit in, trying to be their best selves and sometimes

103
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: failing miserably. And so that's kind of the heart of

104
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: the heart of that White Light experience. And so for

105
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: me it was, you know, it's not the biggest role

106
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: in the world, but it was certainly a chance to

107
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: rub shoulders with the best step onto a set that's

108
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: world's best practice. But also while I was lying over

109
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: there in my beautiful villa in perqutt Amandarin James, I

110
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: don't mind telling you. Oh it was roll around me,

111
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: scratch yourself lovely. Oh yeah, it was ridiculous.

112
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 3: And when you can't say who you rub shoulders with though.

113
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm not allowed to release cast details that

114
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: haven't been released haven't been released. But Parker Posey was

115
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: over there. She's been released as a person. She's a

116
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: real favorite of mine, and so but the thing about

117
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: it all is, yeah, I looked at the World's Best

118
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: Practice and I thought he's telling stories, and we've got

119
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: the same stories over here. We've got beautiful stories over here.

120
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: So we're going to dedicate myself to trying to tell

121
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: tell more stories like Mike Whitet. It just inspired us.

122
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 3: Although it's going to be great, willing participant, come along

123
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: and check out our socials. We've got all the details
