WEBVTT - LEXI DYER - AUSSIE SHORE - PARAMOUNT + 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:01.720 It's in the news today, but it was actually on 0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:05.000 TV Reload the podcast last week. They're right. Hey, guys, 0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:07.160 welcome back to TV Reload. I want to thank you 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.879 for clicking and downloading on today's episode. Sorry, I've been 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.040 on a little bit of a break. I'm up here 0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:13.920 on the Gold Coast. You might be able to hear 0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:16.320 some of the birds actually in the background because I've 0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:20.120 been podcasting outside. But anyway, guys, today's guest is Lexi Dyer. 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.600 She is one of the cast of Ossie Shaw, a 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.400 series that will polarize the audience. But don't judge me, 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:30.240 I'm kind of a little obsessed. Lexi already had a 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.720 serious tie to reality television. And if you're a Big 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.440 Brother super fan like I am, you would know Paul 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.680 her father for his very dramatic conversation with Merlin in 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:44.080 Big Brother back in two thousand and four. As a treat, 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.040 we will get Paul into this call. And I have 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.839 to confess I'm a little bit tall. I'm way too 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.839 excited to be getting poll in here. Ozzie Shaw is 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.920 the spinoff from Geordie Shaw and Jersey Shaw, and while 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.000 it's taken Australia a long time to get here. I 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.320 think the weight has been worth it. The production quality 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.200 and the pacing of the show is phenomenal. I'm actually 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.360 more prutish than people would think, but I've found it 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:10.720 entertaining to sort of dip back into my youth and 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:15.080 live very vicariously through these young people. I will ask 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.720 about the casting process, how you get picked for a 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.319 show like this, and how long of your life you 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.000 have to give up to fly to Cans and be 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.240 a part of this kind of monstrosity. You will get 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.360 to hear us unpack the relationship with Lexi and her father, 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.120 what she borrowed from her dad from his time on 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:36.399 reality television, what he thought of her following in his footsteps, 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.760 and if they will actually watch this show together. We 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:41.840 will even find out who were the easiest to get 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.400 along with, whether it was the boys or the girls. Plus, 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.119 I will ask about the possibility of a season two. 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.120 I will even be cheeky enough to ask who she 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.400 would like to see cut from the cast if they 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.760 do come back for the next series. There's actually so 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.040 much to unpack with my guests today. There is some 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.920 fantastic secrets along the way. So sit back and relax. 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:04.640 As we unpack Ozzie Shaw the most bonkers reality TV 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.440 show today. So LEXI, how are you? 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.680 I'm ben, I'm very well. How are you? 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.079 I'm excited for you. You're about to actually sit down 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.239 today and watch the first few episodes, which I've actually seen, 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.960 and I'm a little bit nervous about what you're about 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.399 to see. Well, what is going through your mind right now? 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.720 God, that makes me nervous. I am hummed. I've been 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.120 waiting for this moment. I'm just ready to see all 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.360 the chaos unfold, but definitely a little bit nervous to 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:30.679 see everything that we all did. 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.520 I think that you have as much to be worried 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:33.799 about as some of the others. I'm just going to 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.360 say that not eating jelly shots out of people's bumhole, 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:40.519 So that's fine. I yeah, you get to see that. 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.920 That's going to be very for those people. What had you? 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.320 I think you're an absolute star on this show. You 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.160 do come in on episode two, so I hope you 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.160 ways stick around to see you come into the show 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.160 because the immediacy of you coming in really shakes up 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:56.880 the dynamic. 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.480 Oh, I wanted to bring in some spye that I 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.800 wanted to eight things up, So I was happy I 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.639 got to go when there at nighttime, whenever I was 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:04.920 least expecting. 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:05.520 It with some shots. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.000 Oh this shot for a musk. Wasn't going to walk 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:09.360 into the house empty handed. 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.760 Have you watched any of the other shows? Had you 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.079 watched Jersey Shore, Jordie Shore? Did you watched any of 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.280 those as sort of preparation as to what was kind 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:18.400 of expected of you. 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.200 Yeah, I did see some of the early seasons of 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.799 Geordie Shaw, which obviously you've seen it. It's just chaotic, 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.960 it's messy. It's just just a hot mess. And I 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.160 think that I think we've done it justice, probably a 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:34.400 bit more messy, to be honest. 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.640 Did you have any clear about Charlotte Crosby, because, like 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.960 I was expecting her to sort of be a part 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.480 of the cast, like some sort of older person hanging 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.040 on trying to, you know, relive her youth. But she's 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:46.000 kind of like the boss. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.600 She came in very lar. She comes in and wakes 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.560 us up, and it was an absolute shock. I obviously 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:55.000 knew who she was because it's Charlotte, but it was wild. 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.000 Well, I want to step back a little bit and 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.080 ask you about this plastic process. How do you get 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.480 cast on a show like this? Were you just surfing 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.840 down at Jen Juck? Were you getting your hair done 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.760 in Ringwood? I don't know what was going on. How 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:06.560 did you get picked? 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.800 I don't even know what I was doing, but I 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.480 remember I just got reached out to by one of 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:16.200 the production and was like, hey, you fit this type 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:17.760 of show. And I was like, Oh, I've fit this 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.120 type of show, Get me on there. 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.360 But what was the audition process? Like? So you get 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.960 asked to, you know, do a zoom chat or something. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.680 What do you have to try? And because I'd be 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.360 worried that interview you and and you wouldn't know what 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.240 you'd turn up and do on the show, like you're 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:32.480 going to be the sort of chick that's going to 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.679 get wild. What was that process like when they started 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.600 asking you questions but they like do you take your 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.200 top off in a bar? Do you are you the 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.479 type of chick to buy shots for people? What was 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:41.120 that process? 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:45.200 Like? I mean the audition process, it was actually like 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.159 I loved it. I wasn't nervous at all because I 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.240 thought that I just got to be myself and I 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.480 think that they're either going to love it or eive it. 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.760 And I mean I suppose they loved it, but it 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:55.719 was funny with all the questions. You just got to 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.000 be yourself. And I think that any room I'm in 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.120 I like to bring the card, so it's probably why 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:01.680 they chose me. 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.560 I think they also chose you because you're the type 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.840 of chick that I think sets the cat amongst the pigeons, 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.279 like you do come in on episode two, which means 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.520 that everyone sort of gets to understand people a little 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.960 bit better. But then when you come in, I think 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.000 that the girls are kind of a little bit jealous 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.719 of you. The boys are all completely they all want 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.840 to peace. How did you cope with being a late 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.039 com up? Did that make it harder for you or easier? 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.160 I low Keen loves coming in late, Like I wanted 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.040 to shape things up as soon as I got in there, 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.800 and I wanted to again bring that spice, So I 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.359 mean coming in late was a bit of fund to me, 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:34.560 to be honest, Did. 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.320 You connect with the boys or the girls easier? 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:36.440 Like? 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:37.720 What was what was easier for you? 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.880 Honestly, connecting with the boys was definitely easier. In the 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.440 first twenty four hours. I think that they sort of 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.840 took me under their wings straight away, and I felt 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.279 very comfortable, so I gravitated towards them. 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.080 I could already see that the girls were sort of 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.560 standing aside and passing comment of you on you Did 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.720 you find it that you noticed that they were doing 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.080 that and was it part of the sort of work 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:59.880 backwards and gain their trust. 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.800 I feel like they were definitely stand office for sure. 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.160 I think that there was kind of the not cold, 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.000 but it was just, you know, they didn't really put 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.520 me under their wing as much as I would have liked, 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.760 So I kind of just did my own thing, and 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.640 I feel like I don't need to kiss it in 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.680 anyone's pockets, so kind of waited them to come to 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:20.200 me in a way. 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.240 So I don't know how much how many of my 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:23.880 listeners are going to know this, but I think they're 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.240 going to love it based on some of my backstory. 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.839 But your dad is actually quite famous and famous for 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.440 reality television. What yes, your dad was on Big Brother 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.080 series four, which was one of the highest rating series 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.000 of Big Brother that ever happened. It was huge. What 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.560 did your dad think of you saying against to doing 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:42.000 the show? 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.680 Oh? He was absolutely stoked. It was all four. I 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.040 think it was more excited. 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.000 Than I was, to be honest, Well, we have your 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:50.760 dad here, which I think people going to be very 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:51.320 excited about. 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:51.640 Paul. 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.080 How are you, mate, I'm very well Ben. 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:54.880 How are you, buddy? 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.159 Yeah, it's funny listening to this. It's you know, when 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.520 she was up there filming, there's not so long. I 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.599 was celebrating twenty years gone by since Big Brother, you know, 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:07.200 rolled through, and that twenty years has gone pretty fast. 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.480 So yeah, it's blowing my mind a bit because now 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.480 I'm fifty one and I was thirty one back in 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.520 the house. So now it's Lexi's turn. Mate, I've handed 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:15.800 the bat and over, so to speak. 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:17.480 You know the best thing about this is, and I've 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.480 been very public and people who listen to the podcast 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:21.400 will know this about me, but you're, in fact my 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.520 favorite Big Brother contestant that was ever shown. So I know. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.520 May you told me that when I met you a 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.520 few times, and and you were one of mine too, 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.840 So the feeling is pretty mutual there, mate, And I 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.680 think it's because we went in there with the same 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.320 sort of game plan. It was very different back in 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.120 our day, but there had to be a lot of manipulating. 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:39.880 And how's this. 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.400 We've got three manipulators on the one phone together. This 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:43.160 is incredible? 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.360 Is that true? Thing? Oh? 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.120 Ok? And Dad's worse than I am. 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.200 Knowing Paul as well as I do, I know that 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.520 he would have given you some advice that probably wouldn't 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.320 have come out of the usual pocket of a parent. 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.280 What did he say to you before you took flight 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:57.400 and flew up to cams? 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.320 Honestly, he just like told me to be myself and 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.800 just own every single thing I do. Like, I think 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.280 that being able to say up to myself comes from, 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.480 you know, my parents, And I think that if I 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.679 was ever in a situation to just like hold my ground, 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.520 and I think that he said, don't be afraid to 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.040 show every single emotion. So I went in there and 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.240 I was just like, you know what, I'm just gonna 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.680 give it my all and knew that they'd be backing me. 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:21.680 Did you find at any point that you felt like 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.120 you were emulating your dad? I mean, I can imagine 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.320 you may have watched some of your dad's time on 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.080 Big Brother. Did you find yourself at some points thinking, 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.240 you know, maybe a bit of my dad's coming out 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:31.760 of me today. 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.040 Yeah, I think my dad's constantly coming out of me. 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.320 To be honest, I think I was being, you know, 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.520 a bit of a shitter here and they're just taking 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.199 the piece, probably laughing when I've been. So that's definitely 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:42.200 where dad comes out of me. 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.599 And then just wait to hear some of the language. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.320 Like I grew I grew up with baby boomer parents, mate, 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.040 and I swore to myself when I had children, I 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.880 wasn't going to put myself through the same strict routine 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.360 that myles put me through, with nose swearing and bowl 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.560 haircuts and all that shit. So I said, Alexi, as 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.240 you grow up, as long as you respect me, you 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.240 can say whatever you like to him. You can't call 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.280 me whatever you like, but we can talk how we 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.520 like to each other, to express ourselves. And that's pretty 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.360 much how I raised the kids. But as you said, 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.120 made it was a bit different, not for every parent, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.520 you know, and sometimes it does backfire because you know, 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.439 you get yourselves into trouble and people think you're disrespectful 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.360 because you're you're friends with your kids and all that 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.199 sort of stuff. But you know, there's no script in life. 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.440 Ben and you know that, and we are what we 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.120 are and I'll bloody bring the kids up whoever I want. 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.640 And look, I'm pretty happy with the way she's turned out. 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:32.679 She's an absolute quaint. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.439 Were you worried about this? Yeah, I love that. I'm 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:36.920 sorry to jump in over the top of that. I 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.439 think that's so great that you both have that relationship. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.000 But were you worried about the salaciousness of this sort 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.760 of programming? Because some people are already coming out and saying, 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.479 you know, this is so bold and it's so outrageous. 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.920 You know, how does it find itself with a place 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.000 on television? What do you think about the salaciousness of 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:53.880 this style of show? 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.400 It's a massive word for starters for a tradeing ben, 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.080 But look, I think I know what you're asking me, 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:03.080 And to be honest, it's I don't mind it whatsoever. 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.600 Like I get off on sort of funny, filthy TV, 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.960 you know, language fighting. You know, I love triangleause I 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:11.200 love all that sort of stuff. 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:12.079 It's entertaining. 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:13.920 And if you don't want to watch it, if you 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:15.920 don't like that stuff, you don't watch it. But I'll 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.160 tell you what, I've got my parents on one side, 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.200 they're not really mentioning much about it, and they know 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.520 all about it, and you know, so I'm going to 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.680 be I'm going to be seeing both sides because my 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.360 parents couldn't believe that I went on Big Brother, and 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.080 I think they are a little bit disgusted with what 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.520 they saw. So wait til they say, little Princess Lexi 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:32.360 running the mark. 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.000 Well, it took them twenty years to get over you 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.560 being on television, and now we've got the next generation, 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:37.719 so they've now got this. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.840 Yeah, I'm worried this. I'm worried this could finish them off. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.720 Man, Lexie, I want to know, like, are you ever 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.160 going to watch an episode of this show with your dad? 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:47.600 Like are you and Paul going to sit down at 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.080 any point to watch it? Because I just knowing the 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.000 relationship that the two of you had, I had that 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.080 lens watching it myself, and I was thinking, I don't 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.200 know if anyone wants to sit down with their parents 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.520 that watch this this show, let alone be in it. 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:03.560 And I mean, it's not like the most comfortable show 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.920 to probably watch with my parents. But I think that 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.400 we've grown up in an open household. They know everything 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.559 about my life, so I think that I'll probably just 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.160 walk out the room if there's a bit where I 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:13.719 don't really want to be sitting in the same room 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:14.600 as and while they're watching. 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:16.800 Yeah, and I'll walk out following and with my phone 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:17.960 and put it on me TikTok. 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.280 Well, I want to talk to you about this because 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.880 you know, Paul, you have become a TikTok sensation. I 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.160 mean that both of you have such a huge following. 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.240 Do you think that the reason why people are so 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.000 compelled to watch your stories has a lot to do 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.959 with the openness of the relationship that you both have. 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:40.160 On our TikTok fans. Yeah, I suppose we do. You 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.800 occasionally get a little bit of heat sort of saying, oh, 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.120 that guy hangs around young girls. Well, of course I do, 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:46.880 because I live with them. She's my daughter and she 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.160 brings friends around. So look, I'm not making any apologies 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.720 for getting on with her and her mates. Like you 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.800 mentioned before about Charlotte, shut Charlotte or someone trying to 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.920 relive their youth. Well, I did look down when you 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.319 said that, because that that is may. I don't think 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.960 I'm grown up yet then I'm fifty one. It's funny 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.280 your body gets older, but your soul and your mind 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.400 and everything stays exactly the same as it was when 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:08.960 you're a kid. 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.559 Dad, you've definitely not grown up. 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:12.480 Thank you, Thank you. 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.880 I'm more your parent than your mine, I reckon, Well. 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.559 You know, we're getting to that stage lex where you 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.280 will have to start wife in my ass soon. 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:22.560 I'll do that for your dad, don't you worry. 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:29.280 No, no, I can watch it do true. 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.920 So, Lexie, I think that's what's really interesting about your 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.040 relationship with your dad is that you know, this will 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.120 could this could be the first time that he's a 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.800 bit embarrassed about something that you've done. Have you did 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.280 you grow up feeling a little bit embarrassed about Paul Beans, 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.800 you know, quite well known and being on radio and 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.240 being on television, Like, what did you think growing up? 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.760 I absolutely love it, I think because you can just 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.280 see how natural it is for him. I think he 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.679 was also born to, you know, do this type of stuff. 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.880 That's why I always wanted to follow in his footsteps. 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.280 And I think that he owns it. And I think 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.680 that he's so good, you know, being in the public 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.719 eye as well. And I think Australia loved him on 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.480 big Brother for a reason, and I think that, yeah, 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:08.760 I think he's just born for it. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.400 Everyone sort of very fresh as well with this season. 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.400 This cast is very fresh, and we don't get to 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.079 see Callum Hoole until like the last two episodes. Does 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:17.839 he come in too late? How does he go with 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:19.600 coming into this show so late in the game. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.920 I don't think Callum had any issues coming in as 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.800 late as you did. I think that yeah, he again, 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.959 he owned it as soon as he walked in the doors. 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.679 And I think that you'll see that exactly when you 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:31.760 guys are watching it, and a. 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:33.880 Little tease to sort of maybe what is to be 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.520 expected if we roll into a series two and they 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.280 bring you all back? Is there anyone on the show 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:39.880 that you'd like to see not return? 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:44.760 Not return? Oh? No, I honestly I love everyone and 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:48.320 I think that everyone everyone brings something different and I 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.080 think it wouldn't be the same without us all. So 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.920 I think I think everyone there is just it wouldn't 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.280 be complete if someone wasn't there. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.400 Are they talking to about a series two at this point? 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:57.840 Are they just waiting to see how it goes? 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.160 It's hopeful, but we are waiting to see. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.000 How it goes, and I mean, how long are you 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:03.640 giving up your life to do this? I mean to 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.880 go up to Cans and film this first series? How 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:06.560 long were you there for? 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.400 Here? For about like five six weeks? 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.120 I think, Okay, it's a decent amount of time to 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:12.920 give up to go there. 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.880 Yeah, but yeah, I was absolutely loving every single second 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:17.160 of it. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.000 And I guess the most important question to ask you 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.400 about this show is with Made in BONDI a lot 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.800 of the semi scripted realities, are we actually watching real 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.040 people find relationships? Are these relationships that we're seeing on 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.200 the show real or are they kind of a little 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:31.240 bit massage for TV? 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:35.320 This is the most realist as it gets. It was 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.440 not scripted at all. It was just you are chaofs 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:42.800 raw emotion and yeah, every second was just real and raw. 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.280 Well, I mean, everyone who joins the podcast, I get 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.560 asked a question about what's something from behind the scenes, 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.520 And I'm curious about the reaction that maybe your dad 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.480 had when you told him. How did you approach your 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:53.760 dad to tell him that you were going to be 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.600 on reality TV on Aussie show? 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.400 Dad? What did I even say to that? Because all 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.360 I remember just being like kind could be going on 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.280 this show, and I think it was just absolutely so. 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.440 Yeah, I was. It was a very long process been 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.520 like I was. It was so much longer than what 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.560 you and I went through. And you know, I got 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.080 to know because she was confining in us as her parents, 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.800 and it was it was full on, like the amount 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.440 of work. And they must have a good budget, I think, 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.840 because they've put a lot of care into them. There's 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.280 regular psychologist chats and they're just keeping keeping an eye 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.360 on them all. I really believe looking after them so 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.120 so far. You know, I haven't seen it yet, Ben, 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.600 but I just know the effort that they're putting into 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.800 caring for us since it's happened and during Can you pick. 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.440 That sort of stuff up on what's changed in the 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.720 way in which they make these reality shows compared to 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.119 two thousand and four. 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.360 Yeah, I can. And it's so different because you've got 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.680 to prepare all the all the contestants and the participants 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:52.960 for social media, because you and me just didn't get 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:54.040 that and we get it now. 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:55.040 And I know that. 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.440 You know, the big fight that I had with Merlin 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:01.160 that divided the country just on phone conversation and general 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.880 conversation imagine if that was on social media. 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.000 You know, I might not have got as much love 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:06.840 as I did out of it. 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.840 But it was different times back then too, So yeah, 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.480
