<v Speaker 1>of Here for twenty twenty four. I wanted to quickly

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>apologize for not releasing the chats with Frankie and Michelle.

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>It was a decision from the team not to publish

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>on those days due to the Westfield attacks. I'm sure

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>that I will have Michelle on the podcast in the future,

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:31.520

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.480

<v Speaker 1>shafted trial, where he took electric shocks like the champion

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.120

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>his life and what his family thought of him going

<v Speaker 1>on reality television. We will unpack the age difference amongst

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the celebrities and if he thinks the result so far

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.600

<v Speaker 1>years since he retired, and what are some of those

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 1>changes that he really likes. There's so much to one

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>pack with Peter Dakos So sit back and relax as

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>we unpack his time in the South African jungle.

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Ben, how are you.

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm very well, thanks mate.

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 2>How are you?

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm good?

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Thank you good. Were yet to recover, but all good.

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Your kids were worried about you going in there, apparently

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>because they were worried about how much weight you were

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>going to lose.

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, they Yeah, I actually ended up losing. Think,

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>so we always knew that it'd be a bit of

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>a hard road in relation to food and everything. So

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 2>but it was something I needed to do. I mean,

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I was looking forward to the experience.

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 3>I knew it wouldn't be easy.

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't and so yeah, to get twenty five days, yeah,

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm really tough with having sort of got myself through it.

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 2>It was a good experience, real good experience.

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Well what can you say to me now about the

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>experience versus what you thought it was going to be

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>like to what it actually was like?

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's the thing, then, you're really I mean, you

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.839
<v Speaker 2>imagine that it's like someone telling you, you know, how

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 2>bad their headache is. You can only imagine how for.

0:02:59.320 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 3>Their head is.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I let you it's actually you do have a headache.

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 2>You really don't know. I mean, I knew it'd be

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.639
<v Speaker 2>hard that people will be at home and talk about

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.919
<v Speaker 2>being bored and kolazing. Yet they have the tree, they

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 2>have their phone, they have, you know, maybe the ability

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>to walk out the door and go down the street

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 2>or get in the car and drive up somewhere. So

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean there was nothing there. I mean, no hot,

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 2>running water, food you get You had to work your

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>backside to earn the right to get a meal, and

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 2>when you got a meal, it wasn't enough. And so

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>the list to go on and on. I mean, who

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>ever said it up got it right. Someone asked me

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>last night, probed to change.

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, you wouldn't change anything.

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's pretty damning the highest order experience, I mean,

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 2>and all we had to work off is the people

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 2>that were in there, and we had a really great

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 2>care in the end, and that made life somewhat easier.

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>You said that it was easier in the end. Was

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.839
<v Speaker 1>it not always easy? Like did you just slowly get

0:03:58.920 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 1>used to it?

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 2>We all were sort of looking at each other, especially

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 2>into the second and third day, But I was thinking

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>there was the little log fire we used to sit

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 2>around there. There were logs sitting there and we'd sit

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 2>on them and they're all carved in with previous celebrities,

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 2>and you know, they all had the days, you know,

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 2>cracked in, and you know, I was looking at one

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>in particular, which was the last year, and there was

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 2>thirty one days that was cracked in, so that that's

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.039
<v Speaker 2>where it finishes. After thirty one days, and I was

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.359
<v Speaker 2>three days. You know, I thought to myself, firstly, what

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 2>am I doing here? And secondly, how am I going

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 2>to get through thirty one days? I mean, I think

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 2>we all surprised ourselves and I think you make adjustments

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, again I get back to the people that

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 2>were there. So it worked really well. And we didn't

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 2>know each other, so we walked in blind. I had

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 2>no idea, they had no idea who I was, and

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>it was vice versa and in the end we went.

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 2>The first start was finding out a little bit about

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 2>ourselves and starting to forward, you know, some type of friendship.

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 3>And from there, you know, as a.

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Passing week went along, yeah, it grew and you could

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 2>people sort of even opened up more.

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 3>It was yeah, it was.

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 2>It was great, and that's what made it Was.

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>It hard to say yes to doing this show considering

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>of its timing and that you were going to miss

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the start of the footy season. I was worried when

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I heard your name being thrown around. I thought, well,

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 1>he's got two boys playing and he's still very much

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>a part of the game for a lot of Australians.

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Was it hard to say yes to be to taking

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>part of the reality TV show as the twenty twenty

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>four football season was going to start?

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, no, it did. Wild Woman pretty you know,

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 2>as part of my interest in sulf of the Child,

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:49.360
<v Speaker 2>so outside of the family like most football you know

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.599
<v Speaker 2>in Melbourne, in particularly number one, So I'm no different.

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 2>And I will say though, I mean, you know, well,

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:58.600
<v Speaker 2>while I was in Melbourne, I got to keep a

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 2>certainty game didn't when I heard a rumor that they'd

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>been lobbing to keep me in the jungle because I

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 2>won the next three while it was away on. But

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 2>having said that, it's the first thing I did. I mean,

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 2>as soon as I got my phone back and my

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>gear my sort of normal, normal year, I banged my

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 2>phone on. The first thing I did was get hook

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 2>cuts to the internet and went to the AFL file.

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I needed to find out what was going on in

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.159
<v Speaker 2>the world of footy and how the boys were going,

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 2>and yeah it was it was nice, a little bit

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 2>of catching up to do because I've noticed the ladder

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, I'm stuck by some of the ladder standings,

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.280
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, it's going to make over the next week.

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Pretty good viewing.

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I think I kind of liked in last night's episode

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.799
<v Speaker 1>that we got to hear you talking about your days

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.599
<v Speaker 1>in the footy, Like I kind of felt like we

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>would hear more of that throughout the season. I guess

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 1>I would have liked to have known more from your

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>perspective about footy and how it's changed over the years,

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>because we've come a long way now from I think

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 1>you retired at nineteen ninety four and now it's twenty

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty four. I don't know for you, how do you

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 1>think that football's changed in those years.

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it's changed for the better. I mean, if you

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 2>look at the other look of football, I mean, yeah,

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, when I started in the late seventies, I mean,

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, guys in the late sixties, you know, I

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 2>would have noticed suit's changes for the game, and then

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, all of a sudden, I'm playing through the

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 2>eighties and there were you know, the game got quicker,

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 2>and you know, the whole landscape and the aesthetics of

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 2>the game changed. I mean we went from one umpire

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 2>when I started, to two and then three and then

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 2>not even sure we had three back then. I think

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 2>it was still two, but you know, and now it's

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 2>it's just a real showcase. I mean, you go to

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 2>a FOODI game. I love the build up, the lighting,

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the crowd. Look. The game has changed because the players

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 2>playing it have changed. I mean the kids these days

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 2>they stay at dinosaurs. I mean, and they're dinosaurs because

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 2>the mums that are pregnant are looking after them, start

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 2>taking vitamin being active, are lot fitter than backing our

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, my dad was a smoker in the old days,

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 2>and I'd imagine where mum was pregnant, we'd be smoking

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 2>and funny cigarette, you know, in and around mum off

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>is pregnant. Clearly doesn't have a good effect. Although I

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>was a tolling at stix footer. Yeah, but I think

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, because of the type of kids coming through now,

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean you're getting eighteen year olds at are six

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 2>and six and can run like the wind, and so

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 2>the game has changed, and that's what changes the game.

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 2>It's the type of style that's played by the players

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 2>that are being recruited. So yeah, look, I love where

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 2>the games are. We get some great games. It's a

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>tough game for other reasons, and yeah, it'll just keeps

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 2>getting better. I think there's been a lot of real changes,

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.319
<v Speaker 2>but I think I'm in hindsight now it's been to

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 2>the betterment of the game.

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Were the other celebrities that were in the jungle, you know,

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 1>interested in hearing you unpacking football and how it's changed

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 1>over the years.

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh, well, I think then. Yeah, Look I walked in

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 2>not knowing anyone. They didn't know me, I didn't know them,

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 2>and so we went to work understanding and look I

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 2>was in the end. They were really genuine and genuinely

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 2>wanting to know each other. They wanted to find out

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 2>more about me and my background. They knew a little

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 2>bit about the boys, not much, and you know, someone'd say, oh,

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:18.680
<v Speaker 2>he has two boys playing. I had to, you know,

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 2>I had they going, and then I'd drill down a

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.199
<v Speaker 2>little bit. Emberone was genuine in trying to find out

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.440
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about the fellow campmate. And I think

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 2>the chemistry grew from that, you know, like and it

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 2>was a great chemistry. We had a really good culture.

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 2>And I always say culture. His attitude and the attitude

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 2>of everyone was really one.

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.319
<v Speaker 3>Of being supportive.

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 2>And you know, if I was having a down day,

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 2>they'd kicked me up and vice versa. And I took

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 2>a luxury item with surprise, surprise was a footy and

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 2>they all loved kicking it or having a go. And

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 2>we're genuinely like they'd be initiating things as they oh, plea,

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 2>let a kick, and I go, yeah, yeah, because I

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 2>love bouncing and kids looking at hand, pointed myself. And

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 2>in the end they had plenty of takers and plenty

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 2>of people willing to yeah, either know about footy or

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 2>pick the footy.

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I mean that's what this shows about.

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Like every year you hear people talking about that and

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>about the connections that you managed to make. Although I

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 1>will say the older celebrities are the ones that are going.

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Is that a conversation that started to happen around camp

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>about maybe the people are voting this year are a

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 1>lot younger.

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 2>It's an interesting point. You may I actually didn't think

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 2>about it, so it's clearly something that didn't come up

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 2>in the camp thing. I was probably the oldest behind Denise,

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 2>and then I think the cv amos is the next.

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's not something that came up.

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:39.559
<v Speaker 3>And you might be right.

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the demographic may be that they're a younger

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 2>audience that'd be late more to the younger childe that's

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 2>seen in these reality shows or clearly up there around

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 2>the social media side of things. But no, I don't

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.719
<v Speaker 2>see it that maybe they were protecting us older, but

0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe they felt we'd gone as far as we could go. No,

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe needed to go home. But look, I will say

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 2>on that, I mean it was a bit of sleet.

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean I was hitting the pointer that I went out.

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 2>I might not have seemed it, but I would pick

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the pointed after twenty five days and being closed, Yeah,

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.080
<v Speaker 2>it would have been lovely. But I think the funny thing

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 2>is that there's a reward at the as I say,

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 2>light at the end of the tunnel pictures. I'm heading

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.839
<v Speaker 2>over the family and it was getting the stage where

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I was really missing home, especially in the last two

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 2>three days, and that might have come through and I

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 2>think people might have, Yeah, just released the sackles a

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 2>bit and felt that I'd probably done enough time and

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 2>set me on my way.

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.200
<v Speaker 1>What did you think, though, were Frankie leaving early? I mean,

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>did you think that was going to happen? Do? Is

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 1>that a real surprise for you when he announced that

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.439
<v Speaker 1>he was going to go home or had some of

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the cam mates that have seen the wear and tear

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.679
<v Speaker 1>on him and started to think that might have happened.

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, no, Look it didn't surprise me. I mean,

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Frankie is naturally a Hollywood star. I mean financially, he

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 2>probably could, you know, own a city if he wanted to.

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's how well he's done. I mean, he's

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 2>just seen another movie. He's like, he is all hectic.

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's a Mads car driver, so he's in

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 2>that second year. But you know he races his leeds

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 2>of three hundred k, so you know he's constantly being

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:17.600
<v Speaker 2>asked for things.

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 3>He's constantly busy. He constantly flies.

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Around the States and visiting countries. And he went for

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 2>a genuine reason, and the reason being he really wanted

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 2>to reset and he wanted time away to think about things.

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 2>And the turn he used the one time, especially just

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 2>before he left. In the two three days leading up,

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 2>he kept saying, I have to be present more and

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 2>we're all probably guilty of that where we're in a

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 2>room with friends, but you're you know, you're having a

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 2>chap at half your mind somewhere else. And he just

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 2>felt that even if he had to stay to the end,

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.679
<v Speaker 2>he was also he hadn't been home for five weeks

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>and his life was going away two days later for

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I think a month in Italy, and yeah, he just

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 2>had a he had a massive reset and he just

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 2>had had enough and said, you know, I'm out of here,

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 2>and he wanted to get home. And he did say

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 2>that he always found it hard to be business like.

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.079
<v Speaker 2>He said, I have no friends. I'm just a worker.

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, all these layers were pulled back and he said,

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 2>I've made more friends here. He even said to me,

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you come to stay staying at my house,

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I've known Frankie for three odd weeks, so

0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's amazing how everyone opened up and he

0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 2>started flow that boy did he come home with a bang,

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, he was. He was one of the ones

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I really enjoyed being around. And he made my time

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot better as well.

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 1>I thought he could have won. I think he could

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 1>have been stuck around. I think Australia might have voted

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 1>him in, which would have been unusual because I think

0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>it's hard and we haven't really seen an international celebrity

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 1>that's come into the show win before. But I think

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Frankie could have won if it's stuck around.

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, yeah, you're right. I mean everyone had the chance.

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Everyone everyone had a unique, you know, sort of character,

0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.440
<v Speaker 2>and that's that's one of the things I really enjoyed.

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, you didn't get two people were saying, So

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>everyone was a little bit unique in how they approached

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 2>the trials. They're either yelling or screaming or punching or

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 2>stracting or you know how raging and then you know,

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 2>and that was the beauty of it, and that's what

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 2>made it different days. You had a different character or

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.200
<v Speaker 2>a different person I spent a bit of time with,

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's a sort of made your time move along

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 2>a lot quicker.

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, it was a good mix of people.

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, and there's definitely people there that I can

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 2>confidently say that I will catch.

0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Up with the sorry and then the last I just

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>have to ask the last question. I ask everyone who

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>joins the podcast something really short, because you're about to

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 1>get in a car, so I've got to let you go.

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 1>But what if something from behind the scenes, something we

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't as an audience get a chance to see, which

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>might be hard for you because you don't know what

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.480
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing. But what was something fun from behind the

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 1>scenes that you know, what it's like to be a

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 1>celebrity to go on the show?

0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 2>What's it like? I mean hard to put into words.

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's why I use the term unique. I

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 2>think we use that term when we can't find the

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 2>words to describe an experience or something. And this was

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 2>no different. I mean, you know, in this case, I

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 2>mean it was total bottom.

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 3>It was total.

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 2>When I say total, I mean minimal food. And you

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 2>know they took you to the nth degree. Really when

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 2>it came to hunger, there were no distracted in a time,

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 2>A simple thing like time. We just view it as

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 2>nighttime and daytime. I didn't know whether it was seven

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 2>o'clock in the morning, eight o'clock, six thirty. It was

0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:47.320
<v Speaker 2>hard to plan, so you know, paper penns, you know,

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 2>to keep yourself at his games. I mean there was

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.400
<v Speaker 2>there was nothing and did the whole thing was designed

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 2>to take you out of that comfort zone, put her

0:15:55.600 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 2>in a really foreign, foreign suaye in to get the

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 2>reactions that they do get. And I think the beauty

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 2>of what I was able to get was that And

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>what I found was I had no distraction, so I

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.520
<v Speaker 2>had really ample time to think about things. I'll make

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 2>tweets in my life moving forward, definitely, there won't be

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.360
