1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: Sam well, last Night Survivor All Stars, Well, it's always

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 2: a dramatic show, but a very emotional one. Last night,

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: fan favorite existrating cricketer Lee became the last, the latest

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: castaway to leave the tribe, but in very sad circumstances,

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: receiving some devastating news from home about his mum. This

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: was filmed, I know, a number of months ago, but

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: Lee joins us now, Hello, Lee.

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, how are you very well?

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: So tell us you're in the camp. For those that

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: didn't see last night's show, a producer calls you over

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: and you get some very sad news from home.

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

14
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 3: Normally when producers call you over, you're in trouble for

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: doing something naughty, but this one was very different. This

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: was a call to say that mmumad tragically passed away

17
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: due to a massive stroke back home. So there was

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: that was really tough news to take, and especially given

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: those circumstances, being out on the oil for thirty four

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: days and you're already depleted and you know, sort of

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 3: hungry and tired, and and that's the thing about the game.

22
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 3: You don't hear anything about what's going on back home

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: and it's almost like no call isod is a good call?

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: You know, if you don't hear from him, everything's fine.

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: So to get a call from home, I knew that

26
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 3: something was something was up.

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: And you didn't know that anything was wrong with Elizabeth,

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: did you. No? No.

29
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Mum had been diagnosed with MND six months earlier,

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: which is why I was going on the show to

31
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: hopefully win, you know, obviously win the money and sort

32
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: of do it proud. And also Dad who'd suffered a

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: stroke fourteen years earlier. So but there was obviously we

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 3: MND is a lot different, but the stroke took her

35
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: just so suddenly as well.

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if you watched last night's show when

37
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: it went to airly, but your tribe mates were so beautiful,

38
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: particularly Tarzan. I don't know if you heard him say this.

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: Please just wanted to make his mom proud, and I'm

40
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: sure he's done that. Were raising my glass at the

41
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: end of Lee and his mother Elizabeth may.

42
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: Oh, we're all crying. Did you watch it last night?

43
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: Sorry guys, now it's hard, mate, Yeah, it is hard.

44
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: What great mates they are. Yeah, he's amazing, Tazi, Yeah,

45
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: I watched it. The channel thing gave.

46
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: Me the the episode to watch with my mum's sisters

47
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: and family up the Sunshine Coast beforehand. So but even

48
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: still watching you in last night was really tough. But

49
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 3: you know what a man Tazian was. We had a

50
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: lot of great chats out there, and yeah, I can't

51
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: wait to catch up with him very shortly.

52
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: It's also the news as you say, you have no option,

53
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 2: you have to go home. But you were hugely invested

54
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: in this show as well. So was it a very

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: strange dynamic where the show meant so much and then bang,

56
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: suddenly it could mean nothing.

57
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: Exactly, You're so invested in the show and the and

58
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: where you are sitting on the chopping block and what's happening,

59
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, in a split instance,

60
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: the game means nothing. And you could probably tell by

61
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: everyone else's reaction in the game and even production, you

62
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: know it was it was tough for them to move on.

63
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: And obviously the game has to move on, which is

64
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: great and I'm looking forward to to watching another great

65
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: sort of few weeks left. It's going to be very exciting.

66
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 3: But at that time, the game stopped and it just

67
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: says a lot about the type of family the survivor

68
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: family is. You know, a lot of Reality TV gets

69
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: a lot of bad rap, but the survivor community is

70
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: a very close one.

71
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: Reality TV got very real, that's for sure. Sure did

72
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: So who do you think is going to win? Oh?

73
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: Some good players, isn't there? I? You know, I like Tarsi.

74
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: I've got to go for Tarsi. Now he's my number one.

75
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: I hope he makes it all the way at the end.

76
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: And I know that you're also doing some work with

77
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: the Stroke Foundation. Tell us, I'm looking at a photo

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: with David, yes, wearing nothing but of holding a towel

79
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: in front of him. It's my new screensaver. I've decided

80
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: and mind to it.

81
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: What's the towel challenge?

82
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so David and I got together. Obviously, David gets

83
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: gets his kid off of fair bits and some of

84
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: the some of the Survivor people started taking the mickey

85
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: out of his photos. He's raunchy photos. And then we

86
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: decided to contact the Stroke Foundation and to raise some

87
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: awareness for this terrible thing that happens to a lot

88
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: of Australians. Over half a million people are affected by

89
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: stroke and that's not even the families, and then one

90
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: every nine minutes, and it kills more people than prostate

91
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: cancer and breast cancer put together. So I obviously take

92
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: my mother and my father had a massive stroke fourteen

93
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: years ago as well. So we're raising it. We've got

94
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: a bit of a campaign. We're going to keep a

95
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: bit lighthearted. So basically, guys, actually I wouldn't mind you

96
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 3: guys getting a bit of a white towel. Who drop?

97
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 3: What do you reckon.

98
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: On a television show?

99
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: What does he have to do with the towel?

100
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: This is toilet paper shortage.

101
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 3: I'm hoping now the size of the tower can be

102
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 3: up to you as well, mate, so you can you know,

103
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 3: you can be a large one or a small one,

104
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: so it's up to you on that one.

105
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna just a hand hand to hand.

106
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: And you just got to upload the Instagram and hashtag

107
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 3: and call out a few mates as well. And as

108
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: I said, every upload it raises awareness. And we've also

109
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 3: got a page the Towel Challenge dot org dot au

110
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: where you can donate some money as well. So yeah,

111
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 3: it's a really good cause. And as I said, it

112
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: helps me get out there and talk about this, this

113
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: tragic event as well. There you go.

114
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: I'll wear mine on my head. You can wear it
