Peter Helliar

And we're inviting you along for the ride.

Joining me today, it's Peter, Mr. 43, Elliot.

Thank you, long ball.

I'm glad you remember my name.

That was a bit deflating, I have to say, because I was like.

Yeah, so I get up on the podium and I say to the room, this bloke here has had 49 points.

Peter Healy has had 49 points.

And people start rumbling in the room, bullshit, buddy, the fix is in.

Glenn, we regularly speak to your players.

At the start of the year, we were asking whether any of the girls were getting into you about Strawny, you know, the alter ego of comedian Peter Hellyer.

And a number of them didn't even know about it.

But we've encouraged all of them to rip into you.

You know, what is weird, Fernwood Gym, which was a gym set up, I think, 30 or 40 years ago, or a chain of gyms for women only, used to have quite a funny ad.

And I think it was Peter Hellyer, the comedian in it, And he would, you know, in the ad, dress up as a woman, put on lipstick and put on a wig with pigtails and try and get into the Fernwood women's gym.

And the caption went something along the lines of, some people will do anything to try and get into our gym.

Well, the way they are now, Firmwood would not be allowed to run that ad because, in fact, if a man did say, I want to dress up as a woman and I want to go to an all-women's gym, legally the gym would have to let them in.

I think the only way that they could attempt to do a remake is maybe they focus it on one person, maybe like an aging Hollywood star, they cast Debbie Moore maybe I'm kidding I don't think this could be remade I would not want to see it yeah It's a thing, too, where because this is early 90s and it's got all early 90s DNA written all over it, I think any attempt at a remake, it would remove the magic of what makes it so entertaining and fun.

Casting-wise, I'm struggling to think of... who to cast I mean BP you mentioned the project I mean all of them are out of a job now so they could easily be available for this but I don't really want to see Peter Hellier or anyone in this type of movie if he's even part of the project I haven't watched it in like 20 years um I think the problem is I think if people were to try and do this now, it would be such a heavily sanitized version where instead of they would replace the entertaining parts of it with just like maybe, funnily enough, even though we just covered the loved ones, maybe they would cover it with more of a sadistic streak to it.

So they'd try and make the kills more gnarly.

Gnarly? What the fuck? I'm not a surfer.

I don't know if she'd like this very much.

[laughs] And Peter Helliar.

Um, they thought, they thought they were real funny.

They thought they were real smug with us.

I...

See, I, uh, I'm not sure you were on my side, Peter Helliar.

[laughs] No, that was, that...

Sorry, a little bit of phlegm came back to me then.

[laughs] Viral Wednesdays.

Here comes Pete Helliar.

[laughs]

He was good at saying Viral Wednesdays

slow you down, leave them behind.

See, look, already today, I'll give you an example from my perspective, being here without Flam or Peter Hellier, this podcast is running so much smoother.

We're getting

through it.
