Kenny Page #6

Synopsis: From the biggest festival to the smallest church social, Kenny Smyth delivers porta-loos to them all. Ignored and unappreciated, he is one of the cogs in society's machinery; a knight in shining overalls taking care of business with his faithful 'Splashdown' crew. Follow Kenny as he tackles every septic challenge that comes his way, culminating in a pilgrimage to that Mecca of waste management, the International Pumper and Cleaner Expo in Nashville Tennessee - or as Kenny affectionately calls it, "Poo HQ". With fly-on-the-wall honesty and wit, 'KENNY' lifts the lid on one of Australia's roughest diamonds as he juggles family tensions, fatherhood and sewage with charm, humour and unflinching dignity. "It takes a certain kind of person to do what I do... No-one's ever impressed; no-one's ever fascinated... If you're a fireman, all the kids will want to jump on the back of the truck and follow you to a fire. There's going to be no kids willing to do that with me. So, I don't do it to impr

It's gonna be sitting pretty much on the

top of the pile.

That's why you can't

have gloves...

...or you'll push it straight into it.

Just bung your hand

down there and grab it...

...and as soon as you're done...

...we'll wash her ring, obviously,

and your hand...

...and it'll all be over.

It's 85% water, mate.

There's nothing to worry about.

I thought this would be corporate

bathrooms...

...you know.

It says 'corporate bathrooms'.

It's only a logo.

I thought it'd be businessmen and stuff.

You reckon all the girls

on Virgin Airlines are virgins?

Sorry.

But...

I'll do it myself.

Good luck with his

bloody degree. Jesus.

How are you going, love? Well,

there you go. We got it back.

That's her there.

That's your ring, isn't it?

That's the one. Thanks.

Fantastic.

Well, there you go.

OK.

Hang on.

You right?

It's a bit embarrassing.

No, it happens all the time.

It's not the first time.

I'll pop it in there for you.

Thanks for that.

- No worries.

I'll see you later, then.

Great, this is.

I've bloody... I've been

held up here...

...and now I've just found out...

I've gotta drive the truck

back to the depot...

...and I'm supposed to be at

my brother's birthday tonight.

I will say one thing...

...and that is today's

just about got me beat.

I'm not exactly gonna be

the life of the party tonight.

Today was...

Today was a pretty long day.

Like I said, I can't let you in.

With what you're wearing...

I can't let you in there

tonight, alright?

I understand.

Well, can you go in?

No, I can't. I need to stay here

and look after this door.

I can't let you in.

He's just in here.

Sorry, can you get David?

Yeah, can you grab him for us?

One minute, mate, alright?

Just one minute.

I'll come back out once

I've found him. Thanks, mate.

Go home, get changed

and come back.

I'm not introducing you

to people in f***in' overalls.

Jesus Christ.

I wouldn't do that to you.

Did I f***in' turn up to your 21stin a

f***in' pair of shorts?

Well, look, it wouldn't

worry me, would it?

Look, I'd go home

and get changed...

...but it's gonna take me

2 to 2.5 hours.

I've gotta go to Werribee and

dump a load in the truck, so...

Alright, then.

How about I give you a ring

during the week?

I'd prefer if you came back, but

if you've gotta do that, do that.

Well, I won't have time.

I'll ring you during the week.

Happy birthday anyway.

Thank you.

Alright. Have a good one.

Thanks, mate. Thank you.

I have very fond memories

of my childhood.

You know, David and I

were brought up on a farm...

...in sort of northern Victoria.

Mum and Dad were... They were

farmers. They had an orchard.

And that's where I spent

my entire youth, you know.

I'd only ever been to the city...

We used to come down

to the city on the fruit runs...

...when it was time to deliver

all the fruit to the market.

I try and get down here

pretty much every year...

...for Mum's birthday.

Mum brought me these gloves.

They're beauties.

Little sleeve there with a button

as if they're off a suit.

Good sense of humor,

my mother.

I don't know if David

comes down here much...

...and I know Dad still finds it

pretty hard...

...but I actually like coming up...

...and, you know,

I don the gloves...

...and I give

her marble cubbyhouse...

...a bit of a once over, you know.

Give it a bit of a spruce up.

Good... Good fun lady,

my mum...

...and well-liked in the town,

you know.

'Big cake lady', they'd call her.

She wasn't a good cook,

but she made big cakes...

...and that was pretty popular

with all me mates.

Very affectionate woman,

my mum.

When you were being

hugged by her...

...you knew you were being held...

...because Mum's shape...

from behind...

...she looked like a fridge

with a head, but, you know...

...you knew you were being cared for,

you know...

'cause Dad's emotional bank

account had two cents in it.

So Mum let you know

you were loved...

...and Dad kept the work going

to keep the money coming in.

And that's the way it was

in those days, you know.

Drivers

in the drag-racing category...

...could you move to lane six?

It's a pretty strange place,

I suppose...

...to have a church at a racetrack.

They've actually got it here

for the drivers...

...somewhere that they can

say a prayer...

...before they go out

to a dangerous race...

...which I think is good.

I hope no-one ever gets offended by the

fact...

...that I come here

and have something to eat...

...but I don't think anyone does.

I mean, I'm just having

a sandwich, you know.

I mean, after all, it is bread -

I'm having my daily bread,

you know.

And I don't think

you need to be religious...

...to feel the effects of a church...

...and that's why I choose

to come and sit here.

You know,

it's a very calming place.

You know, I think the racing event they

put on here...

...is sensational.

I mean, there is something here

for everybody.

But wouldn't you know it...

...you still get the same old pack of

pinheads...

...that wanna ruin it

for everyone else.

They camp at the southern end

of the racetrack...

...and they get up to

all sorts of mischief.

The thing that really gets

my goat about these monkeys...

...is that we have to, by law...

...supply them

with these toilets, right?

And every year, without fail,

after the end of the last race...

...they set fire to the bastards.

What we'll do is

if we can get up there...

15 minutes before

the last race starts, right...

...before the Pitman Challenge...

...and the only way we can get

there, right, is via the racetrack.

If we drive around

the other side of the track...

...jump over the barrier

and we stand with them...

...that'll be enough to deter them

from setting fire to them.

Can't the cops do that?

Well, no, they can't. Our job's

to save the toilets, alright?

Shut up, Pat, they're not worried about

f***in' toilets.

What's wrong with you,

you plonker?

We haven't... Guys,

just focus for a minute, alright?

There's only

a few more cars to drag...

...so we should

get going now, right?

You know, if I can just save one

toilet, I'll be happy, I reckon.

You have got to be joking!

It's the equalizer, isn't it?

Oh, Jesus Christ, fellas,

can we just work together?

Can we just work together

on this one?

Put the bloody

thumper bar away, mate!

Sh*t!

Jesus Christ.

The f***in' race has started.

Look, just pull over.

Hey, shut up.

Hang on, boys!

Just hang on!

Shut it!

For f***'s sake!

Just keep...

We're here driving

in the middle of a truck race...

Don't worry about anything!

Just hang on!

Let me concentrate!

Now, shut up, for Christ's sake.

Are the boys

on the back alright?

Pat, just look at the boys

in the back. Are they alright?

I don't believe it, Pat.

You're f***in' like

a nancy f***in' ninny!

Guys, can we just calm down?

- He is out of control.

What do you mean

'out of control'?

You are f***in' out of control.
