Anyway, let's bring Pete 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.080 Murray into the podcast and guys, I really hope you 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:01.800 enjoy this very insightful episode of TV Relo. Hi, Pete Murray, 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:02.400 how are you? 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:03.320 I'm good taking. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.800 I would love to say that I'm really surprised, but 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.400 I'm not because I picked in the very first performance. 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.040 I just heard, like the tiniest little bit I saw 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:17.200 Christic Swanseay. That voice is very familiar. I don't know 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.600 if it's disappointing to you or whether it just proves 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:20.880 that I'm a super fan. 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.680 I was surprised, but I was also glad that the 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.960 guys didn't pick me. That was my goal, I did. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.000 I know, my voice is very unique and very different, 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.040 so I was My concern was that I would be 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.480 on the show and they would gets Pete Murray straight away. 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:37.960 When they didn't the first night, I was like I 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.680 was punching inside thee yes. You know. I did not 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.680 expect that. And then two nights in a row, I 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.560 was like, Wow, they still haven't got me. I was like, Wow, 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.560 that's great. But look so many other fans on my socials. 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.520 Everyone was straight across it, you know. So I think 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.720 Chrisy was obviously the closest one to it. You know, 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.959 here's here's his husy. He was I don't think he 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.480 got much an idea of much of the who's who's singing, 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.520 and Abby's pretty bit younger, she might really go it there. 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.960 And you know, obviously now was I don't know where 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:08.639 the mel she s actually knew me, but I wasn't 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.880 too surprised but that that she may not have picked 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.280 me above some other acts. So it was kind of 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.960 worked in my favor, really, But Chrissy was on the money. 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.120 Yeah, yeah, I mean, your music to me is the 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.840 soundtrack to my life. Like when I first moved out 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.000 of home, your first album came out and I played 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.160 that for the first few weeks, Like while I came 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.920 out of home, I unpacked my boxes and it literally 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:32.919 is the soundtrack to my life in so many ways. 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:34.920 So like it was quite obvious to me. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.120 And I think a lot of people as well. I 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.320 think they picked it up. I can't remember the second 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.760 eye or something. I think Chrissy Mason, Pete Murray vibes 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.440 going on there too, but she stood didn't pick me. 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.240 Then soon as she made their comment, somewhere in the 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.800 crowd went yeah, come on. I was like, okay, can't down, 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:52.160 don't don't give it away. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.000 Can you hear the people in the audience, can you 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:54.400 hear what this is? 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.720 Yeah, okay, I'll give you that comment very clearly when 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.320 they said, oh yeah, come on, But when the judges 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:00.520 heard I'm not too shoe or the. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.800 Judges though, like, this is what I have to say. 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.600 Because I was doing a bit of research last night. 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.400 I was reading online because I wanted to see what 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.960 the reactions were to you being revealed. Starting to think 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.720 of this theory. Are the judges guesses and comments designed 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.080 to throw the audiences off? Do you think that there's 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.640 any possibility that's going on. 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.640 I don't know. I know with the clues that the 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.760 producers what they're right, and they you know, they give 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.480 out to the to the public and the judges that 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.880 all the people in the audience as well, is designed 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.479 to throw people off because it's so broad that okay, 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.359 I don't get that, you know, and they're trying to 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:37.120 work out other things. But I wondered that myself when 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.320 the judges are meant to do that? But I don't 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:39.719 think so. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.039 I mean, the clues stuck out to me like dogs balls. 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.440 I don't know if you can say dogs on a podcast, 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:46.360 But anyway, we've done it. 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.920 Oh well we are so that's fine, you know, I mean. 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.440 The feel of being a clue was far too easy. 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.320 As soon as that was said, I was like, this 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.240 is crazy. What were the more obscure clues though that 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.040 you might have enjoyed that the team of people behind 0:04:59.080 --> 0:04:59.919 the show putting together. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:04.040 Oh, there were some song references in there. Mentioned the 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:05.960 opportunity a couple of times. I think there was a 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.200 very code on the ground or something you picked me up. 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.680 There was another song reference and I think that they 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.400 just they won't get in that was it something to 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.960 do with gold and summary Rica. So the few things 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.880 there that were kind of interesting. Look, it is it's 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:24.640 very broad, and it's meant to be very broad, and 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.280 I think the longer on the show they start to 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:27.880 narrow in and make it a little bit easier for 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.240 the judges if they're not kidding it. So, I mean, 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.080 probably my biggest concern was, you know, going out in 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.320 the last night is if no one did kick me, 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:36.640 I'll be going okay. 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.919 So do you try and throw the viewers though? Like 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:41.680 I mean, did you try and change your voice at 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.720 all to try and stay in the competition a little 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:44.159 bit longer? 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.640 I did, Well, it doesn't matter it doesn't know about 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.320 your voice. To be honest, I think what I've worked 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.920 out now and look to answer question. Yes, I did 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:53.320 try to sing a little bit lower and a bit 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.400 deeper than what I normally is. I do sort of 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.560 sing up a bit higher and range when I'm singing 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.720 my songs, so I tried to keep things a bit lower. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.359 But it's you know, it's kind of my my tana, 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.120 that's my voice, and it's hard not to sort of, 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.320 like I said, people like yourself will pick it straight away. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.680 But the thing that I found and when we it's 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.520 just song choice. And I feel if you're singing songs, 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.479 especially to that mainstream audience, they want songs they know 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.080 and they can sing a long term. It's almost like 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.200 they get into the song just as much as they 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.560 get into the singer. Yeah, And I think funny when 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.280 I did the songs that I chose, I love doing 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.080 Walking on Sunshine because that for me. My best mate, 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.479 his older sister who's sister to me, she passed away 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.599 for years ago. She's been fighting cancer for thirty five 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.640 years and she had a charity called Walking on Sunshine. 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:41.640 That was her favorite song. 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:42.400 Wow. 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.160 So when I joined the show, and the producer said, look, 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.240 we think this would be a great opening song for you. 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.680 Walking on sunshine. I was just like wow, I had 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:55.000 like these the chills, chills, anything just. 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:55.880 Way, isn't it? 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.000 I mean, that's I know. And even on the night 0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:59.919 when I was singing that, I was really quite emotion 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.760 and if you listen to my voice at the end, 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.520 is kind of it's literally kind of breaks up a 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.880 little because I'm actually sort of getting it bitterer because 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.720 it was a moment for me where I'm going and 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.240 he's here with me and this is, you know, a song. 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.080 So that was really amazing. And I got text messages 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.240 from her family going, we just heard this song. This 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.800 has got of a you know, and they loved it. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.400 They loved it so much. And then you know, even 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.600 singing the God Only Knows song, that was beautiful as well. 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.480 The funny thing was, wasn't it You basically going to 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.840 the recording studio there and you work them with the 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.400 guy there, and you sort of do all the backing 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.520 tracks that you need to make the song their work, 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.040 and you sing a version of it too, and the 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.520 vibe was great and all the songs, he's like Pumpy, 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.080 this song's great. That sounds great. The other songs I did, 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.200 were I was about to do was like every Breath 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:48.560 you Take it by the police. 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.600 And then I would I would pay good money well 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.080 and it was so good pocket I'd give it to you. 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.160 And then we had the other one, which was absolute cracker, 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:02.520 was give me some loving by give me and I 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.000 was like, I nailed these songs. And then we did 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.160 I did all these songs first, and I was right, 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.160 and the guys were going, you're so far ahead of 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.160 everyone else that you've got on top of these songs. 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.880 And we basically did the recording of post alone song 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.840 and we both did it, and the producer engineer there, 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.960 he was like, this doesn't work as well, and I went, 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.560 it's not working as well, and we're like, shit, what 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.800 do we do? So we changed the key and it 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.640 still just didn't have the same vibe as these other songs, 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.720 like every Breath You Take was just like spot on 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.800 perfect for me, and give Me some Love and the 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:37.280 same thing. It just was so good. This a little 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.960 bit of grit in my vocal. It just worked so well. 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.079 But this one song and we were both going, oh, 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.120 and I got really nervous going, wow, I don't think 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.520 I'm going to get through tonight because this song's not 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.160 working as well. And when I first chose that song, 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:51.920 I thought this would be great. It's different, it's different. 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.719 I don't do this sort of thing. But really, when 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.440 it comes down to the mainstream crowd, they don't probably 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.200 know that song as well, and they want something they 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.400 know and sing along to you. So anyway, I did this. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.199 I did that post my own mind, and I was 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.160 just nervous the whole day, going this is I'm not 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:06.880 going to make it through because this isn't a strong 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.280 one and I really wanted to do I think give 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.120 Me some Love and was next, and then Every Breath 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:12.920 Can Take, which was just a great song. 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:14.640 I Want to Say Something to You, which is just 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.760 a very emotional trat for us all. Really, I'm on 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.960 a weekend away to celebrate the life of my brother 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:25.040 in law who passed away two years ago, and we're 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:29.120 in a chuka and all of my partner's family here 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:33.360 and Daniel who passed away. His favorite singer is post Malone. 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.160 So we watched the show last night. We arrived here 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.560 for this day to day and that was the song 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.040 that came on and I said to my partner when 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.240 everyone left the room, I said, you know, oh my god, 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:45.800 this is soon. 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:46.440 Wow. 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.080 It was soul, felt very powerful, but again it felt 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.679 very serendipitous. And because I knew that it was your 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.760 voice even when you did the Beach Boys, I thought 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.440 of your dad. I thought, I wonder whether or not 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.320 you were thinking about your dad while that song was happening, 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.679 which again is now making me very emotional. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:08.400 Question that was an emotion, such a beautiful song to sing, 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.640 and you know, to see that when I was quite 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.160 emotional that one too. You know, so all these songs 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.240 that were working and nothing as that Postal that song. 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.600 I think it's a cracking song. It's really good. Yeah, 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.600 I just don't think out of all the songs that 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.640 I chose, that was probably the least one that was 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:24.000 that was working the best. 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.560 Basically, sometimes when you try and do something different like that, 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.120 then it resonates like it hits. Because I mean, I 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.840 hope someone sends your version of that song to post 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:35.920 Alone so that he can hear it, and I'd love 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.600 for him to be able to hand over the rights 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.319 for you to record that yourself with that version, because 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.160 your own spin on that was powerful. 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.280 Well, it's a great song for starters and easy. You 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.720 write some amazing music, that guy. So that was nice, 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.320 But look, you know, I think I felt like my 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.320 time is limited on that, on that show, because even 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.840 though I have a very unique voice, I'm a singer songwriter, 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.280 So I write songs that work for me and work 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.520 for my voice, and that's you know. I had that 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.600 emotional content in the song when people love that, but 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.040 I knew. I went in there and I think it 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.680 was snow Fox, and normally we're shut off from everyone 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.280 else when everyone else is warming up and doing something. 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.400 We can't hear anyone else, we can't see anyone else. 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.120 But the guys accidentally left my ears on while snow 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.800 Fox was warming up, and I was going, wow, yeah, 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.880 this girl can sing, you know, going there's no way 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.320 that I'm going to actually beat her. I'm not, you know, 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.160 and I'm going, she's a singer. I'm a singer songwriter, 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:30.840 and that's the difference. I remember when when I came 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:32.559 off the show and people go, oh, are you disappointing, 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.200 I said, look, no, it was great fun, but I 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.160 knew my time was limited because but I also I 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:38.640 was told that there's a lot of good singers on 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.640 this particular show, which there are happen and not that 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.840 I'm saying. You know, I can sing, but I sing 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.720 my own style, and you know, to compete where guys 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.000 have these massive ranges, it's very hard to go against them, 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.800 of course, and because they are I consider them that 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.160 they are singers. I'm a singer songwriter. So you know, 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:57.160 a big difference set. 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.160 You know, would have been really clever was if they 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.880 had allowed you to sing one of your songs, Like 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.079 I thought that might have been a good idea, Like 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.520 it was so beautiful, like you know, one of your 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:10.160 original songs that's so connected to you. Because people would 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.600 be like, well, we can't get peeple. They wouldn't get 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.520 peaking one of the songs. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.400 You wouldn't think that that. Yeah, who would be that 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.600 fillyness in their own someone to show that it might 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.679 have worked, you know, very interesting concept of trying to do. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.320 That many incarnations around the world. I'm sure that some 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.120 producer is going to come up with that idea at 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:27.480 some point. 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.959 Surely, I'm sure they will. But look, you know, it 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.800 was a really a different experience, and that's why I 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.040 did the show to have this different experience. And when 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.199 the first the first show they did, they offered me 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.440 a spot in that. For some reason, I didn't take 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.760 it because I had something on, but I love the idea. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.480 I thought it was a really cool concept. Geting dressed 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.840 up in this wacky outfit that no one knows you are. 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:48.640 You're trying to guess who the thing is. It's really 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.400 cool and it's not easy. And you hear these voices 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.280 on there and you go, I know that voice, but 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.320 I cannot pick the person. You know. Once you hear 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.360 it from someone else, you go, oh, of course that's 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.439 who that is, you know. But I didn't pick anyone 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.800 that that was on there at all so so far, 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.280 so I'm looking forward to seeing who who is actually 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.640 behind the mask and the guys that I you know, 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.880 in my group there was snow Fox and an even bouncer, 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:12.679 and I knew both those guys could sing. They had 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.800 a really great, great range, and I knew that those 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.840 two are as far as singing goes, I wasn't going 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.120 to beat them on the singing. On the singing front, 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.920 probably if I had got a song that was maybe 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.280 a bit more emotional and works for my voice better 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.080 amazed to a chance. But you know the singers, those 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.559 guys are under those masks, so it's going to be 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.160 interesting contest. I think out of that group because I 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:35.680 don't really know the other group that well, because I 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.640 wasn't involved in that time. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.719 I mean the fourth performers that I got that I 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.760 that I was a lock for me as soon as 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.439 I heard the first few lines the Grim Reaper. I 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:47.040 just that's Darren Hayes. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.360 That has to be Yeah, I agree, that's Daren Hayes. 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.360 He's his voice too good. 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.760 You know these albums much like I have all of 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:58.199 your albums. Yeah, and I know that sound. And then 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.680 Courtney Actor is clearly the cowgirl kind of come on 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.080 like you know, and Shana Blake. Coincidentally, it was the 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.000 other person I guessed, so did you. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.520 Well see, I didn't know that, but she could sing, 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.600 and I remember doing the duel against her. I'm thinking, wow, 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.000 this this girl could sing too. I'm thinking I'm off, 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.120 I'm not going to beat her because she was, but 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:15.960 she did a great job. 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:17.840 It was still not as good as yours. 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.680 I mean, when it's so funny because even the first 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.840 night I was on there it got down to myself 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:30.920 and Fawn, which was Sam Selly that's right. And I thought, 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.560 I'm thinking, wow, am I going out the first night? 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.920 And I got really nervous, thinking that's it, I'm all over, 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.000 I thought, I know. So I had this really emotional 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:40.760 thing that I thought I was going and then I 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.280 stayed on for another night and went through and remember 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:44.920 coming home at the driver and I going, wow, I 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.520 thought I was out that night. That was it? Was it. 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.400 I came back and I was talking to my wife, gud, Wow, 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.800 this emotional rollercoaster. You go to this like hey, yeah, 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.560 you're going. You're kind of nervous. You sing the song 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.320 and you're on a high, and then you're nervous again 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.560 because you might be going off. The second night, I 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.440 had to do the duel and I'm thinking, wow, this 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.560 is like really heavy, and I thought I was going 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.400 to go on again, and I stayed on another night. 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.000 At least it was like really quite exciting, and then 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:09.800 unfortunately the next night was like I didn't quite make 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.600 it so, but it was like it was good fun, 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.520 you know, just just doing the songs together with everyone 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.880 and and all that stuff, and it's it's a fun show, 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.280 you know, I mean like so, you know, I knew 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.120 that I wasn't going to win it, but the idea 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.000 was trying to get as far as you could along. 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.360 But you know, some pretty tough competition with some good 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:27.240 voices at it in there. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.760 People really love you though. I mean, I'm sure people 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:31.720 would have asked or producers would have asked you to 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.720 do some of these reality shows before. Do you turn 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.880 down a lot of the opportunities to do stuff like 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.560 this and maybe oh yeah, I'd say that, yeah, yeah, 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:40.440 the show. 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.800 That well, I do things that I like, you know, 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:47.360 I mean, I present says I'm I like keeping fit, 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.080 I like doing that stuff. I liked being pushed beyond 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.360 the boundaries of what your comfort zone. And that show 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.120 that's full on, you know, the stuff that we did 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:57.960 on that show, even though I kind of wasn't really 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.000 I got edited out of the show because I didn't 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.840 really caused much drama. But where I was still at 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:05.840 that stage, I hadn't failed anything. So for me, I 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.440 was really pumped because I thought I was the oldest male. 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.440 I didn't think I would get through all the things 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.120 that were there, but I did. I kept doing it 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.160 and then I dessicated my elbow, and I came back 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:17.800 to come back to the to thee the quick off 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.560 that night, came back the next day, and all the 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.120 crew were so disappointed. I said, we were like right 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:23.640 behind you, how on this one? You know, because you're 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.360 the oldest male and you hadn't failed I think myself 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.400 and Yanna Pittnam and the who hadn't failed anything at 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.200 that stage. So I was really pumped that I was 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.840 actually doing really well. And then when this happened, it 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:35.840 was the elbow was kind of disappointing. 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.040 They'll do it that and like, considering that I've seen 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.160 that front cover of the Men's Health, I'm pretty sure 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.640 that no matter how old you are, no one looks 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.720 as good as that. I think that's uh a. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:50.200 Idea, thank you. They're going to definitely feel way fitter 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.800 now than what I was on the show when I 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.520 do the show back then. So then I loved it, 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:55.760 to be honest, I don't think my wife would let 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:57.120 me do it again, but I loved it. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.600 Being a very taxing I did something very similar and 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.840
