00:00:00
I think the thing that would for me early on was um just saying a lot was the big difference from the American
00:00:06
act. I've always said I'm the Rosa Parks of the Seawword, right? Bernie Dana Ky's
00:00:11
house did not get picked up and they go quickly any other just quick pitches for season 3 or is that the one we're going
00:00:17
with? If the aliens came down and they said give us your two best not just looking just your best human beings and
00:00:24
we gave them you Jackman and Margot Robbie come on now. You can't get better as a nice st.
00:00:33
What's with this? You like kind of Okay. Welcome to flying the wall dance partner which is a uh it's sort of been thrown
00:00:40
together year seven. We almost worked the bugs out. Uh this is Dana and um we're going to tell you a couple. We've resolved an issue because we had super flying by fly in the wall and I know
00:00:51
someone personally who had a mental breakdown because she could not process it. She went into a institution for a
00:00:57
brief period of time. I talked to her last week. I just never understood. Super fly. What's the difference? I
00:01:05
never can do it. And I shook her. I said, "David Spade solves all problems." Slapped her face and she goes, "I feel so much better." You know, I have friends. They finally
00:01:17
figured it out and now we switched it. What? They finally figured out how to do Superfly in the other one and then we
00:01:23
switched it. So, everyone's confused. It'll take a few years and then everyone's going to get it. But I will
00:01:29
tell you to 2037. I have a quick story that I have a question about Fourth of July. And um I
00:01:37
think because I saw some Joe Dirt, it's kind of a Joe Dirt holiday. This one, this is where I get the most Joe Dirt
00:01:42
summer and of course with infolded in that it's a Joe Dirt holiday sort of baked in, right? David Spade summer, but
00:01:48
Joe Dirt. So, I feel like I want to get a big company to do Joe Dirt fireworks and have the spleen splitters, the whisker biscuits and all those things. That would be funny. It be funny. And at
00:01:59
the end, it's fireworks, but it goes into a whole gigantic Joe Dirt image. I mean, in a perfect world. Yeah. Yeah.
00:02:06
We'll say that it won't do that, but we'll say it could do that. And also just the Roman candles. Just a Roman
00:02:13
candles are great. Couple black cats. You do a mixed bag because I've seen some lingo. What are you, a fireworks
00:02:19
specialist? I'll I'll show you a clip of the movie, but um Pistol Pete. Pistol Pete. What are your favorite
00:02:25
firecrackers when you grew up? Do you remember any? The actual firecracker was fun. My friends and I were in a
00:02:30
Volkswagen bug and we were going around town smoking weed high school throwing firecrackers out the window. So, we're
00:02:38
lighting them and throwing them. Lighting them and throwing them. I see someone in the front seat. They're lighting and throwing them. I see the
00:02:43
other person rolling up the window. So the guy literally lit the firecracker the window closed and then I'm three too
00:02:52
and then everyone goes I've done that with gum stunk right in the window and I go Heather. Is this airing before or after Fourth of July? It's airing right after day. Day before.
00:03:05
Oh it is okay. Oh all right. That's still good. What's Okay. I have another I want to ask you have another firecracker story. There cannot be another fourth of July story. Okay, go
00:03:17
ahead. We're up in the peninsula and Candlestick Park is blowing off there. The San Francisco Giants blowing off fireworks. We're down in the peninsula and we're looking up and uh I said,
00:03:29
"Look him candle." So my friends again were pretty high. So they laughed for like two hours. Look them candle. And
00:03:35
then when a friend would go down to grab his beer or water or something, you'd always say, "Oh, you just missed it."
00:03:42
And that became our running game. That's not a big miss. The best one. The best one. I always think the last one is not,
00:03:50
you know, like I go, that's the last one's got to be. And then there's more. Well, that's just funny when they're like, and then it's fading out. Okay.
00:03:57
And then they go, yo, it's got to be the finale. Wait a second. Then another buildup, you know. Oh, good. You got the sound effects. That helps it. All right. Puff Daddy trial. Puff Daddy trial.
00:04:10
Okay. What would as Scooby Well here and now we're going with the Scooby news brought to you by Scooby-Doo and Casey
00:04:17
Kasem starring as Shaggy. Yeah. So catch us up. Well, you know P Diddy's trial is
00:04:23
resting Scoop. Okay, you do the talk. P. Diddy's trial is resting. Scoop apparently had a thousand bottles of baby oil. No one knew what he was doing with them. Scoop,
00:04:35
what do you think they were doing? What? anal. We can't say that on a podcast. PG-13 podcast. I said, "Oh, yeah. I understand
00:04:47
what you're saying, Scoo, but I don't ever want to go to a freak off at P Dies. Now, let's make like a banana and
00:04:54
split." Yoinks. Oh, there's a pastrami, too. Phil's over there going, "What did I sign up for?" He knows this place. He goes, "This isn't the real thing, is it? When do the real guys come in?" I think
00:05:07
this is not the A team, is it? If Puff Daddy gets off, which he might have by this time, his ego will be puffed up,
00:05:12
right? There's a lot of people that want him to get off. They just say, "Oh, they want him to get off. They want to beat the court system. [ __ ] those guys.
00:05:17
They're just trying to hassle Puff. He's great." And he'll run out and be such Kingcock because he'll be like, "Now
00:05:23
everyone knows what I do." So, if you're actively joining in, you get it and you're in. So, that will happen. Will he go to prison? I'd say the odds right now are against him going to prison, but I
00:05:35
don't know everything. What do you think? Like we said, but is it illegal to have a freak off with baby oil? Was
00:05:40
it consensual or you know, even when people say it wasn't consensual in another interesting court case,
00:05:47
shockingly, the Idaho killer Oh, that wants to admitted guilt if he can have life in prison. And I don't know why
00:05:53
everyone thought he was guilty, but his photo looked like this. He's terrifying. By the way, I would
00:06:00
never do that to anybody. I like when they have all these new things like they owe. But we pinged your phone right where the murders were. He's like,
00:06:06
"What?" Well, you can. I can't believe it. The Idaho killer says he's guilty. No one ever looked that guilty. Did you see the picture, Scoop? No. No.
00:06:19
He looks very We have two new characters. I don't know. Scooby news. You're Scooby-Doo and
00:06:25
I'm Shaky. Scooby. It's hard to understand him. Well, that's the funny part. How would he say [ __ ] you?
00:06:32
Ruck you. Right. Now you're doing Sandler. Heal. Anyway, what else you got? More on the P trial. Good for him. Wrap it up in a
00:06:45
nutshell. Good for him. Nice little wrap up in a cute little local story. Okay, so last week we had Julie Bowen. A lot
00:06:51
of people watched it. A lot of people commented. A lot of people listened and I thought she was very fun, entertaining guest. Bust my balls. But I do have a I
00:06:58
have a quick fix because I said we sat courtside one time at a gene years ago and she said no it was great but they were like seventh row. It's I found proof. You were courtside. Yeah. Oh so
00:07:10
Julie Bowen got it wrong or I no just miss not like that. Miss got it. Okay let me see where the picture is. Tick tick tick tick pick
00:07:23
tick. Here it is. Okay. Why you you not only do you have the dickpick, you have to say every time you go by it, I see one dickpick. You know it's a pick. So why are you keep mentioning it? Because I'm just thinking out loud like, okay,
00:07:35
that's that. Okay, here's one. I understand. Look at that hat. Oh wow. What a damn fool. She looks great. She
00:07:42
looks great now. I mean, she's not. She's she's beautiful. And look and then it says here
00:07:49
NBA courtside seats. Look, you've got your tongue in her ear and everything. I don't want to see
00:07:54
that. No. Receipts proof. Yeah. See, so I did send them to her and just say just so you know. And she goes, I don't know if that's true. I'm like, you don't
00:08:06
know if proof is true? Okay. She still thinks it's a AI fake. Everyone thinks everyone that is AI. That's funny. Okay.
00:08:13
Other than that, what else on the docket real quick? I got real quick and I cannot talk more. Oh, I had a Oh, here's
00:08:19
my show in Portland on the weekend. I The quick story was it was a beautiful day in Portland. 72 degrees, the nicest
00:08:25
day they've had all year, and I have a show inside and and it stays light till like 10. So, yeah, I don't even want to
00:08:32
go to my show. And then I see some people in Calwood say go, "Oh, no, you have a show tonight cuz we're going to
00:08:37
go see Post Malone and Jelly Pop Jelly Roll." And I'm like, "Oh." I go, "Really? That sounds fun." It does kind of. And they go, "Yeah, it's outdoors. An outdoor caramel festival." I get
00:08:50
home, the news is live from there. there. When I get back to my room, I go, "Uh-huh." And they're like, "We're out here with Jelly Pop, and he is really
00:08:58
tubby." And let's show a wide shot. Really wide. I'm kidding. I think he's skinny now. Well, I think they're
00:09:04
merging into the same person, him and Post Malone, covered in tattoos, singing songs. I don't know. I don't know. They
00:09:11
did. You did well. I mean, you I did well. You did very well. I wanted it to be like off the hizzle. Well, you were
00:09:17
backstage. I had a local news feed cuz I I follow around Portland action news and they had to go out there
00:09:23
and people in line going in and you go, "How do you feel about D?" Well, we love David's Pay, but it's so freaking nice
00:09:28
out. We're really torn. That's very true. All right, let's get to Jim Jeff. We've had our fun. We've had our fun. We're going to slow things down a bit. Um Jim Jeff is a good bud and uh fun
00:09:40
dude I've Killer Face. Sorry. Oh, you want to do the serial killer face? I just did it. I just I I threw it out for
00:09:45
as a code. Get out of your system. Jim Jeff, I'm very thankful. Is we already started? Is this started? No, we we're halfway through to be honest. We're
00:09:58
we don't have any structure or introduction or anything, but we'll do all that later content or anything.
00:10:04
Well, I've met David I've met David many times before and I've never I've met you in passing, Dana, but I'm a I'm a big
00:10:11
fan, mate. I'm I'm very excited to do I saw you go crush. We met at John Loveitz's comedy club, right? That's
00:10:17
correct. That's correct. That's correct. A while back and you were kind of unassuming. You had your accent and
00:10:23
everything, whatever. And it was a kind of a rough room cuz that high high stage
00:10:28
everything, but then you three stories. Then you killed and I go, "God, this [ __ ] guy, man. That's Thank you." I
00:10:36
don't know when that where that was. Yeah. Jeff is uh that's you power powerful and and funny. Uh I was going to ask you that like you
00:10:49
you were one of the first that really walked outside stepped outside the lines in some of your early specials like
00:10:55
Yeah. And I comedians love it because I don't do that but I love when I see someone who's literally saying exactly
00:11:03
what they want to say without any censorship. It's very you do it. I I I think the thing that would for me early
00:11:10
on was um just saying [ __ ] a lot was the big difference from the American act. I've always said I'm the Rosa Parks of
00:11:16
the Seawword, right? Because no before a lot of people are saying that. A lot of people before me there was a
00:11:24
restriction. You couldn't you couldn't say it in the comedy club. There was you could say whatever you So my first comedy special for HBO I swear to God,
00:11:30
right? I swear to God uh had a light at the back of the room and it was a 15minute mark, you know. You know how us comics, we normally have a light when we have 5 minutes left, right, to get off
00:11:41
the stage. I don't know if many people know that, but that's what we have. We have a light at the end of the room to tell us when to get off the stage. I had
00:11:46
a light that at 15 minutes lit up, and that meant I was allowed to say the word [ __ ] because Netflix because cuz uh HBO
00:11:53
said to me, uh uh the ratings go in 15-minute increments. We want people to like you. We don't want them to turn off in the first 15 minutes. So, you can't say the cword for the first 15 minutes. So, I had a light at the back and at 15
00:12:05
minutes I say, "Aren't pandas a bunch of cunts?" And then I was off to the races. Can I plummet the ratings now? Let me
00:12:11
ask you a question. Do are you like if an American hears either a British or Australian accent saying the wood can't, you know, it's softer to our ears. Are you guys
00:12:25
enamored as Australia? Should I go down there and play little tiny clubs? Not like I'm a huge star anymore, but I
00:12:31
would play down there. Are they enamored by the way we our accents are? Like we are enamored of Australian and British
00:12:38
accents. The the short answer is no. We're not. You asked the big star down there. Your movie is a massive The
00:12:44
difference is we grew up watching your TV all the time. So we've we've seen American sitcoms since that's why there's so many American Australian actors doing American accents in films
00:12:55
and not the other way, you know. So we we grew up watching stuff which is weird because when I was growing up I was a
00:13:02
huge fan of like Wayne's World, right? Loved Wayne's World. Didn't know it was a sketch from SNL because we never had
00:13:08
SNL in Australia. That that was never a thing. So some of the movies that came out of SNL just seemed a little odd to
00:13:15
us because we didn't have a show. It's like it's like Mcruba. You were like what's where's Mcruba coming from? You
00:13:23
know what I mean? Also, you thought Gar was a real guy that just had done like 10 movies and
00:13:28
now he's doing Wayne's World and you're like, "Oh, that Gar guy is pretty funny." I had I had a sitcom back in the day on
00:13:36
FX and uh it went for two seasons and it was just about me taking Welcome to Cuntville. Yeah, that was the one it was
00:13:42
called. It was called It It was called Legit. And Legit was about me taking care of a disabled guy, which was
00:13:49
vaguely based on my real life. We almost had a season 3, but season three, the whole entire arc of season 3 that I had written out, Dana Carvey was
00:14:00
a main character and I was going to ask you to be in the show and you were going to play yourself. The plotline of the
00:14:05
opening episode was I was taking care of my disabled friend, the wheelchair. My character had become famous uh doing
00:14:12
standup by the end of stand um season 2. I see your character, you doing an impersonation of me on a late night show. I'm all coked up and I get upset and so I go over to your house to
00:14:23
confront you, but I I'm chicken so I can't knock on the door. So I get the [ __ ] out of the disabled guy's
00:14:29
wheelchair colosttomy bag and I put it into a paper bag and then we go up and we put it on the doorstep to light it and do the classic, you know, light the dog [ __ ] run away, but we forget to
00:14:39
knock on the door and your house burns down. And that's the whole season arc from then on that that I'm your only
00:14:45
friend and you're sleeping on my couch. And I hadn't even really met you at that stage, but if you didn't take it, I was
00:14:50
going to ask David to do the role. I had options. I'll do it. Wow. And that throw
00:14:55
me up for season three. Extraordinary. Yeah. Burning down Dana Carby's house did not get picked up. And they go quickly. Any other just quick pitches for season 3 or is that the one we're
00:15:06
going with? I I've got full scripts. I wrote the whole thing out. I thought it was a good
00:15:12
premise. By the way, the weirder the better. I say like some of these shows are too by the book and you just can
00:15:18
figure them all out. If you start that way, I'm in. Well, the the first the f the first episode of season one was just
00:15:25
me taking a disabled guy to a brothel, which is something I did in my real life. I had a friend with musculardrophe
00:15:31
and before he died, I took him to a brothel. And so, it's a sweet it's a sweet story. You know, he couldn't get
00:15:37
laid. It's legal in Australia, I should add, that being disabled is legal and prostitution. And they finally passed
00:15:44
the being disabled bill. I'm so glad. And we and I took him down to the brothel and and this guy this guy had died a couple of times like his heart had given away. He'd been resuscitated. So me and his brother took
00:15:56
him down with the full knowledge that this might go tits up. You know what I mean? So we laid him down and then you
00:16:02
know the the the girl did what she did and then we put him back in the chair and then we went off and had a couple of drinks and that was our day. Now now I
00:16:08
told the story to so many people. I made a sitcom about the story. And then cut to a few years later, I see him and he's
00:16:17
like, "Hey, you made a lot of money on that story." I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did." He goes, "You should take me to
00:16:22
the brothel again. It's only fair." Right? So, I'm thinking, "This guy's going to get his second [ __ ] in his life. I'm going to do it." Right? I'll
00:16:28
take him again. And I went down and they all greeted him like he was Norm from Cheers. It turns out that it turns out
00:16:36
that he he gives this sob story to everyone as soon as you walked in. They're all like, "Dan, by the way, was
00:16:43
he disabled or do we know?" And does the wean work? I don't know. Did the experience go I don't know how Australians think of this phrase. Did it go tits up or not tits down? It went
00:16:54
tits down. I think tits down. She was on top. Is tits down something you say or not? No. No one says tits down. Tits up
00:17:00
is when something goes badly. There's no tits down. No, right. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's American tit I think I think the
00:17:08
term tits up means that like a banana pill slip like up in the air. Tits up means it means I think I want to Australian actors cuz I I've just
00:17:20
noticed that they're not only good at American accents, they're perfect. Yeah. And I start with Russell Crowe like immaculate and uh I don't know why that is. And and
00:17:33
the Australian actors you send us all seem alpha alpha you know like nobody's kind of like a little guy or they're always seem to be
00:17:43
kind of they bring men big hulky you know there's you know there's a third Hemsworth though that's a lot shorter who also is an actor. There's the two main ones and there's a third one. But a
00:17:55
tiny handworth exists. There's a and he's the eldest brother and he's the one who started acting first. He's really
00:18:01
nice, but the other two good-looking ones came along and went, "We'll have a go." Oh, he's not good looking either.
00:18:06
He's good. No, he's he's good-looking by our standards, but not by as a Hemsworth, you know, heates us, but he's
00:18:13
against next to me. He looks just great. But uh I I'll tell you my my one um Russell Crow story cuz you mentioned Russell but you know all these guys all there's like 10 Australians right but
00:18:26
you know you know the comedian David Williams. Mhm. Uh Australian you know he's a British he's on Little Britain was his sketch show. Yeah.
00:18:38
Yeah. He's the judge of uh Britain's Got Talent or something like that. So we we Oh yes. Now I know exactly who you're
00:18:43
talking about. Yeah. He's kind of pale. Really pale. kind of job face. Yeah. Yeah. So, me I was me, David and uh and
00:18:51
Russell were going out to dinner and Russell lives at the end of this pier and in the harbor and on the bottom story of the pier, all these fancy restaurants along Sydney Harour, right?
00:19:02
They're all like lined up along Sydney Harour. And so we went down the lift. We started walking through the car park and
00:19:07
so it's just a car park with a few sort of like exit doors to different shops and stuff along the pit. And uh I said,
00:19:15
"Oh, what restaurant we going to?" He goes, "Oh, we're going to this Chinese restaurant. I eat there once a week. It's one of the best Chinese restaurants
00:19:20
you'll ever go to. I'm telling you, try the duck." Right? So we we we walking along and then I go, "How do we get into
00:19:27
it?" He goes, "I just walk in through the back. They know me." Right? So we get to the door. Russell just bashes
00:19:33
through the door. He goes past. There's a bloke like washing dishes. Probably thinking someone from ICE coming to get him, right? He's just washing dishes out
00:19:40
the back. Then we go into like then we go into the kitchen and there's like all the chefs in the in the clean bit,
00:19:46
right? So Russell bounds through. He's way ahead of us. Then me and David go in through the restaurant like this and
00:19:52
we're like, "So sorry for coming in through the back. We're very much looking forward to the meal. Thank you
00:19:57
so much for having us. Really appreciate you." We get out into the dining area and Russell's just standing there and he
00:20:03
goes, "Wrong restaurant. I went a door early. I don't know that door. And so it was like it was like the most famous man in
00:20:16
Australia followed by the one of the second most famous people in Australia probably by me and it just was a cavalcade of [ __ ] We had to go back out
00:20:23
in the street and walk out and come back in again. Anyway, he does a very good American accent. He's a brilliant actor.
00:20:29
I mean, he's Oh, he's one of the best actors you ever seen. Master Commander, if anyone listening has never seen it,
00:20:35
it's like a a miracle of a movie. Russell Crowe in that the whole ship at sea. Have you seen it? I have seen it.
00:20:41
Yeah, it gets you seasick that film if you watch it in the cinema. There's a lot of rocking around.
00:20:47
I think so. So, you're you're huge in the UK. I saw your tour. So, you're what's the name of your tour? God son of a carpenter. My father's a carpenter and it's just an
00:20:59
easy reference point, but yeah, I'm Son of a Carpenter. I was not tried to say. It is extraordinary. You're playing
00:21:04
Istanbul. You're playing massive dates, Manchester, all over Europe. Talk about what the [ __ ] Well, I I I I got my comedy chops in uh
00:21:15
Britain. I I I did most of my early work in the UK. I I I went to the UK 2001 and
00:21:21
sort of stayed there till 2010 and then I I moved to America. But uh the the British comedy circuit I think is the
00:21:28
best in the world because the cities are so close together. You're never getting on an air airplane. You're going 50
00:21:34
miles Liverpool to Manchester, Manchester to Leads. You can double up in cities. You can start you can do an
00:21:40
early spot in one city and then end up in you can start in one country. You can start in Scotland and then finish in
00:21:46
England for your night. You know what I mean? It's an interesting place. I got to get count me in. But uh well, I can
00:21:52
get your gigs. You two would do all right. You'd do just fine. Don't worry about it. Well, what are we talking big
00:21:59
clubs or small theaters or small arenas? big arenas. You could do I think you would do some uh medium to large theaters, you know, but I like let's not book the O2 just yet, but let's see how
00:22:11
the first two go. You much want to you'd rather sell it out than the the 10enters
00:22:16
book you in something too huge. What's the biggest room you will play on this tour? I have done the O2 before, but on
00:22:22
this tour I'll do the Hammermith I'll do the Hammersmith Apollo, which is like 4,000 and I probably will do two shows
00:22:28
there. You know what I mean? Like I'm not That's pretty juicy. Yeah, but that's like a nice room. And then
00:22:34
there's the Manchester AO and then um I think there's a gig in Amsterdam that's quite large that I'll do. I always do a
00:22:40
right in Amsterdam. I've been gigging a lot in Amsterdam for the last 20 years. It's just uh before we was legal, I
00:22:46
always used to accept gigs in Amsterdam. It's like how It's like how now that I'm a family guy, I always seem to find gigs
00:22:52
in Hawaii out of nowhere that I to take the family, right? Yeah. To take the family. Yeah. Take the family to Hawaii.
00:22:59
Yeah. I sell like 500 tickets, but it's [ __ ] worth it because I get to go to Hawaii. What What culture as when you
00:23:06
were at your edgiest? And I was going to ask you if you've adjusted anything just because you want to or you're still just
00:23:12
as edgy. What What are What country accepted you? Was are the British looser with this? Are we more Patrician? You know, the British were the loosest country for comedy that I've performed
00:23:25
and still to this day. I I've always said that like like everyone always goes, "What's the difference between performing in the different continents
00:23:31
and countries?" Comedy's comedy. Laughs are all the same, but the heckling changes. So, I believe that Americans
00:23:38
try to correct you. If an America, if an American heckles you, they're always like, "Hey buddy, I tell you what, my
00:23:44
sister had bl you know what I mean? They're trying to get into an argument or prove you wrong." Um, Australians are
00:23:50
trying to trip you up. So, if you get close to a punch line, they'll just go, "Ah, I'm a cunt." They'll just yell something out so you just get off your
00:23:56
speed a little bit. Delightful. Yeah, they're niggly little [ __ ] right? And then um and then and then the British
00:24:03
try to out joke you. They try to say something funnier than there's there's a classic story, right, that um down at
00:24:11
the London Comedy Store, uh Kurt Douglas's, uh Michael Douglas's brother, Jeff Douglas or something, I don't know. One of the other Douglases that was one of the other Douglases that was Yeah.
00:24:22
Yeah. One of the other Douglases, Kurt Douglas's son, he's having a bad He's having a bad gig at the London Comedy
00:24:28
Store. He He starts getting booed or a few jeers or whatever. And so he tells them all to [ __ ] off and he goes, "You
00:24:33
can all [ __ ] off. I don't need this. I'm Kurt Douglas's son." And then another and then one person stood up and went,
00:24:39
"I'm Kurt Douglas's son." And then another person said, "I'm Kurt Douglas's son." And they did the entire scene from
00:24:44
Spartus. The British The British are very good. They're very good. I have a quick story
00:24:51
that involves the the C word. So, um, Spartigus, right, used to be cancer, but we're changing. So, I know we're going to set the record. Anyway, this is so
00:25:02
random and it'll amuse like three 3% of our audience. So, uh, Kirk Douglas is in Spartacus and he's really kind of buff
00:25:09
and, you know, muscular. Lawrence Olivier is in there. So, the guy sees Lawrence Olivier. He's this famous old
00:25:15
British actor, super famous, and he's doing leg presses really hard. They go, "Oh, Larry, you're really working out." Yeah. He goes, "I'm doing Spartacus, and I don't want that [ __ ] Cook Douglas, to
00:25:27
out physicalize me." That's all I got. [Laughter] That was a legitimate use of the word
00:25:37
from a story I was told. Yeah, that's that's an historical use of the C-word. Do you see Margot Robbie at Icebergs a
00:25:44
lot? Margot? What's iceberg? Oh, the iceberg's a restaurant in Bondi. The You know about icebergs? Jeez, you look at me. Look out, Dana. Look at me. Where's Bondi?
00:25:56
Bondi Beach is a a popular uh beach that's close to the city center in Sydney, right? And it's sort of it's
00:26:02
where all the British people get sunburnt and skin cancer over Christmas. Um but uh there's a restaurant there
00:26:08
that overlooks like a public pool. The public pool has ocean water that pours into it, which is kind of interesting.
00:26:15
It's a fancy It's a fancy restaurant. I've never I've never met Margo Robbie. I'm a fan. I once was on I once was the
00:26:22
other guest on Kimmel when Marggo Robbie was on. Yeah, that's great. You know how like you're a guest on those shows, you
00:26:27
never meet the other guests. Yeah. You have to make a point of it because they're like somewhere else. You don't even know where they are. Yeah. they're
00:26:33
in a different dressing room and then you've come on then you leave or they've already left and you're the second guest
00:26:38
and then they've they're already in they're gone, right? So, so I've been on like episodes of those shows. Bill
00:26:44
Clinton was on one never met him, you know, these these different people. Um, but Margot Robbie was the other guest
00:26:50
and so her dressing room was next to mine and I just sort of lingered in the hallway just like acting like I was
00:26:56
looking for something just cuz just just I'm Australian. I have an inn. You know, I could have gone, "Hey, you know how to
00:27:02
linger. You can linger." She She would have accepted me saying the C word in front of her. It would have been music
00:27:08
to her ears. I'm a local. Don't you hate all these Americans here? That's said exactly. I would have said something
00:27:14
like that. But I tell you what, you got to give it up. The Margot Robbie flying the Australian flag. Is there a Is there
00:27:21
a better person on if if the aliens came down and they said, "Give us your two best, not just looking, just your best
00:27:28
human beings." And we gave him Hugh Jackman and Marggo Robbie. Come on now. You can't get better than those two. That's true. Uh, let's see. I'll see
00:27:39
Hugh Jackman and Margot Robbie and Rayu. Jennifer Aniston and Russell Crowe. David Russell Crow is is he saying
00:27:47
Australian versus America? We're saying the two best humans. The two best humans we give to the aliens to represent us to
00:27:54
go this is what we've got. Okay. First of all, Russell can't bloody dance and tap dance and stuff like he's not a threat. That's true. He's a triple threat. That huge. But he can sing. That
00:28:06
guy can sing. He's like, "Your buddy Brad Pit." Yeah. Brad. Yeah. Well, Brad's Brad's brilliant. Yeah. Of
00:28:13
course. You were talking about Brad off the air about how what is he 61 or something like that. Mhm. and he still
00:28:19
looks like the fact that we have a 61y old and I haven't seen the movie that we are going to watch a drive a Formula 1
00:28:27
car and go yep that seems about right like yeah when they're forced to retire at like 30. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He should
00:28:34
he should he should have a bloody special pass for the bus Brad Pitt at his age and he's going to be driving a Formula 1 car. Sure. And Brad and then
00:28:42
Tom Cruz and Mission Impossible. I saw Mission Impossible. Yeah. I got to co-sign that movie. It's brilliant. Tom
00:28:48
Cruz. I haven't seen the new one yet. It was Is he in the submarine for too long? Oh, it's the greatest movie ever. And
00:28:54
then you're like, well, yeah. No, just see it. Definitely see it. Yeah, it's very cool. You know, you don't want to overblow something. But as far as that,
00:29:00
like, you know, these people, they don't they take care of themselves. We were talking about that before the podcast. The old oldtimey actors, it was booze
00:29:07
and cigarettes and they died around 60. So for you like you used to one of your early specials but we just said we just said Brad Pitt was a smoker and Russell
00:29:17
is a smoker and people they're still smoking they got some special they're getting blood put into you're like the
00:29:24
audience correcting us like when Well that that's true but recovery you know so I was going to because one of your
00:29:30
early specials really made me laugh. The only one I ever saw do this a little bit was Ricky Jery, but during the special,
00:29:36
I don't know if there it's kind of like a set, you would wander around and all of a sudden from behind something, you'd
00:29:42
pick up another pint of beer. And I don't know how many beers you did throughout the special, but that's something I've never seen. I know you
00:29:48
stopped drinking, but do you look at those days as any kind of funniness or because to me it really got my attention
00:29:54
like when's the next time he's going to grab a magic beer? Okay. So, I didn't know that was going to be a joke and I only ever did that for the special. I never did that for my normal shows. I normally used to have my beers u just on
00:30:06
top of the box when I'm performing just ready to grab. But because with a special uh and I don't know if I'm doing
00:30:12
some inside baseball stuff here, mostly we record two uh uh u uh shows that night, edit it together or just show the best one, right? Um and so they were
00:30:24
they they edited in every pint I had over two shows. So it did look like I had seven pints in 1 hour. Oh. Right. So
00:30:32
I can't take credit if I did not have seven pints in 1 hour. Now the reason that they were behind the box was for
00:30:39
continuity because the pint the the level of the liquid going up and down and I'd be leaving empty glasses
00:30:46
everywhere else. So just before I went out, they lined up for each show four pints of laga behind the thing. Now,
00:30:53
back in the day, um, people used to like go on about what a great drinker I was. I actually was a really bad drinker. Um,
00:31:00
I I would get drunk very very quickly. It just so happened in those first two specials, I was also on cocaine. But if
00:31:08
they asked, but that's the reason that was propping me up, right? And I I regret doing that in my life. And I, you
00:31:14
know, if my child is watching this podcast many years later, I was an idiot. But that was why I could drink.
00:31:19
So, I gave that I gave up all drugs when my son was born. When my son was born, I never took drugs again. Mhm. Um when
00:31:27
he's 12 now. And uh and I I I I never took drugs again. But I continued drinking and everyone just thought I was a bad drinker. Everyone thought I was getting out of control. I was actually
00:31:37
in recovery. Like you say like two loggers, like two pints. Then then you were sort of drunk. I mean like slurring and like I started
00:31:48
I started slurring after three points now. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So and so then I did some specials and I was just a
00:31:54
dribbling mess in all the specials. But I was just and so then my wife gets pregnant with my last child who's who's
00:32:02
about to turn uh four and I haven't had a drink since then. So uh and I I don't miss it at all any anymore. Not at all. I don't miss any of it. Don't miss cigarettes. Don't miss alcohol. Don't miss drugs. Um I I regret doing all of
00:32:15
them really. I feel a lot better. Well, I was noticing that you look younger than the last time I saw you basically.
00:32:21
I mean, you look really good. I'm not I'm not sweating as much as I used to. You're shrunk down. You're more of a you
00:32:28
know, so I've never seen you messy, though. I think when I see you, it's maybe a more professional setting, but
00:32:33
I've never seen you messy. Well, yeah. Well, not anymore anyway. But yeah, no, I I just sort of knocked it on the
00:32:38
cigarettes was the hardest one. That's the hardest one to quit out of the lot is the cigarettes. And I think that's
00:32:45
the the I read there was a book uh Allan Card, Stop Smoking. The secret to giving up cigarettes is this is you stop you stop envying people who are smoking. It used to be you'd give up
00:32:56
cigarettes for a while and every time I'd see a cigarette, I'd go, "Oh jeez, I wish I could have a cigarette." You got to start looking at them like they're
00:33:02
slaves to nicotine and that you're free. That's the only way. There's my motivational talk for the day. Oh, that's good. Hey, I have another Kirk
00:33:08
Douglas. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but this totally fits. This fits better than the last one. The last one was good. It was
00:33:15
good. That that [ __ ] musly [ __ ] Kurt Douglas. It was a good I did a movie with Kirk Douglas and Bert Lancaster. So
00:33:21
Kirk Douglas told me his dad was a chain smoker and then he quit. And I said, "Well, how did he do it?" So his dad
00:33:27
took a cigarette, put it in his pocket, and anytime he wanted a cigarette, and he was Russian, he would pull it out and go, "Who is stronger, me or you?" Me. He
00:33:38
was so competitive that that just stopped it. Who is stronger? Me or you? Get back in pocket cigarette. I am
00:33:45
strong man. You're a [ __ ] little rolled up nicotine [ __ ] And that was the quote. That was I'm just quoting Kirk Douglas. I'm just quoting Kirk Douglas. I was a
00:33:58
nicotine [ __ ] back in the day. Whoring myself to nicotine. Has it influenced your comedy at all? like your standup
00:34:05
writing just being completely off everything because the specials you're talking about were really wellreceived
00:34:11
and the last the last few haven't been as well received. Once you've gotten sober I I look look Sergeant Peppers was arguably the Beatles best album, right?
00:34:22
It was nonsensical rubbish. That was all on acid and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I don't I
00:34:27
don't listen to the whole Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. was a painting, you know, like Julian gave me a painting.
00:34:33
I'm doing more Paul there, but you know what I mean. You sat down for a plunk, you know. Is that how you did it? We
00:34:38
would plunk John and I would look at each other sort of like a mirror. I'm just quoting him now. So, but yeah, but
00:34:46
uh I love Were you an opera singer, Jim, before you get a chance to answer? So, this is this is a thing that always is brought up in my life. Yeah, I love it. It's a fake one. So, no, no, it's true.
00:34:58
It's true. So, okay. So, I I did school musicals cuz that was how you met girls,
00:35:05
right? If you're not if you're not athletic, I went and you go and do a school musical, join the drama club or
00:35:11
whatever. That's my theory on why actors are so short, right? I think it's because they they they couldn't play
00:35:18
sport at a high level, so they join the drama club. It's all about meeting girls, right? So, I I think Yeah, I
00:35:24
that's my theory anyway because um Makes sense. Um, so, so I I went and did uh musical theater at at at um school and then there was literally like a talent
00:35:36
scout came to one of the shows and said he could be a tener and we don't have many tall teners and that's a really like a hard thing in the opera company. And so they they they sent me off to
00:35:47
singing lessons with this guy called Richard Gil who was the head of the chorus master in Australia. I sound like
00:35:52
an old person talking about relatives you've never met. And I I studied for a while and then when I was 17 I was put
00:35:59
in the Australian opera in the chorus uh for one production of the Flying Dutchman which was Vagna. And so I was
00:36:05
just like like I was literally singing in German. Didn't know a [ __ ] word of what I was saying. I was just buying German. Holy [ __ ] Well, I was just buying a CD and just mimicking the
00:36:18
German. You know what I mean? And then um you know they teach us the songs but I didn't know what the songs were about
00:36:23
or anything. So after that I went and studied at Whopper and Whopper is the Western Australian Academy of Performing
00:36:30
Arts which is where Hugh Jackman studied which uh they had a full scholarship ride to study musical theater. By the
00:36:36
time I was 2 years into that I was already being paid to be a stand-up comic and I just quit it in the middle
00:36:42
of the night and just went off on on tour. But I always wanted to be a stand-up comic but I thought you can't
00:36:47
study that at university. You got to I I wanted to study something in the performing arts and so I studied musical
00:36:53
theater and I would like to I can't sing anymore because cigarettes and yelling on stage and I've had polyps and nodules
00:37:02
and nodules I've done I've had the surgery and all that you can hear me voice is pretty raspy now but I could sing as a and it's weird because
00:37:10
everyone always goes sing us a song when they find out you're an opera singer and it's like you wouldn't have gone up to
00:37:16
Pelle when he was like hadn't played played soccer for 50 years and gone go on do a bit of keep up. See a bicycle
00:37:23
kid. Yeah. So, so it's it's a muscle I haven't really worked but I did do that. I still have a fondness for musical theater. I still go and see any
00:37:34
production that comes to LA. I go two follow-up questions. Okay. One. Mhm. Did that garner any puss? Because you went through a lot. Is that a new garner or
00:37:46
puss? Okay. Okay. I I will I will say this to to any any young heterosexual man who can sing a little bit, right? Yeah. If you go to university
00:37:56
where they audition thousands of people to get like 30 kids, it was like going to fame and half of the class is male
00:38:04
and half the class is female. Those girls have been doing dance lessons since they were bloody kids, right? Uh
00:38:10
singing lessons, acting lessons, all that type of stuff, right? All the boys have been doing the same. And the 30
00:38:17
kids in my year at university, I think out of the 15 boys, 10 of them were gay. And that just the numbers don't lie. That's too good. If yes, it tilts your
00:38:28
way. For sure. I'll tell you what, it it worked a lot better than being a comedian saying the word [ __ ] all the
00:38:34
time. That didn't bring as many women in as you think. You know, you could name your next special. A certain kind of
00:38:40
woman likes that kind of talk. Yeah, they were fun girls who did like me, but they weren't didn't they didn't come in
00:38:46
their masses. Yeah. Okay, here's your special, Jim. Ready? This is a new name. Here we go. Tall tenner. Tall tenner. I'm calling my new
00:38:57
special. It hasn't come out yet, is called uh uh two limb policy is the name of the special. Okay. Limb like Limb. Two limb policy. Because I I have and I
00:39:09
talk about this on the special, but because I did that sitcom with the disabled people, a lot of disabled people come to my show. I have a meet
00:39:15
and greet after the show. I always let the disabled people join the meet and greet and I take photos with all the uh
00:39:20
different people with disabilities, but I can't like someone wrote to me and said, "Hey, I'm bringing my uncle to your show. He's disabled. Can we come backstage and meet you?" And you can't
00:39:32
write back how disabled, right? And you can't ask for a photo, right? But we have to have some parameters. I just can't have a lineup of people with [ __ ] dyslexia bothering me, CDs. So,
00:39:43
I have a I have a two limb policy. You have to be missing two limbs or they have to be doing nothing. What And if
00:39:49
you have two limbs that are [ __ ] up, you can you're lucky enough photo with me.
00:39:56
Take a picture of this. You're allowed to come backstage and meet this [ __ ] if you're missing two limbs.
00:40:04
Uh, okay. That's good. I have a question also from the audience later on that one. At some point we got to get to your show because we know uh you Oh, the show is Go ahead,
00:40:16
Dana. Well, you're out. You're on a little press tour for your show. Sure. We can't forget about that. The snake.
00:40:21
The snake on Fox. The snake. I saw your billboard hogging [ __ ] Sunset Boulevard. I'm not on the Billboard.
00:40:27
That's That's how That was an executive decision. What? David, what was your Fox show with with Snake in the title last
00:40:33
year? Oh, Snake Oil. Snake Oil. This is called the snake. His was called snake oil. What channel? We're part of the
00:40:40
snake family of Fox. Oh, it is the same billboard. Yeah. It's by the Chateau Marmont. Yeah. Yeah. So, we uh we snake
00:40:46
it up. Yeah. Um The Snake is a reality show that's similar to uh Big Brother or Survivor or Fear Factor. It's got elements of those three shows. Um so it's it's good-looking people living in
00:40:58
a house in the jungle doing tasks where they have to eat gross food. But the what the secret source in the show is
00:41:04
instead of like an elimination ceremony or where people get voted off anonymously, what happens is uh the
00:41:10
person who wins the task gets to become the snake, they get the coveted snake medallion and then if they get the snake
00:41:16
medallion, they get to save the first person and the person who gets saved gets to save one person. The person who
00:41:22
gets saves gets to save another person. It it snakes down the chain uh setting up a chain reaction. So, you don't have
00:41:28
to have a majority rule uh to like you in the show. You just need to make really one or two friends that will keep saving you, but you can't repay the favor. So, if someone saves you, you got
00:41:39
to save another person. So, so like like you get a lot of skull duggery. You get a lot of um skull duggery. Skull dug.
00:41:46
There's not enough skull duggery out there. Yeah. Oh, I tell you, I was explaining this show the other day um on
00:41:53
some good morning something and I said the word skull duggery because that's what I always think about the show and you know what skull duggery means like
00:41:59
uh pirates and stuff. Old English skull duggery. Yeah, skull duggery. And the and the lady went so if you want to watch the snake there's a lot of skull buggery. Buggery. Buggery is the English
00:42:14
legal term for anal sex, right? Yeah, I saw that on the on the Churchill movie. Oh, you get a bugger. Remember that?
00:42:21
Yeah, exactly. The word buggery is like the legal term. The buggery happened. Blah blah blah. And so she just said on
00:42:27
morning TV, "Come and watch some skull buggery." And I think it got through. I don't think anyone noticed. [ __ ]
00:42:32
everyone tunes in for that. Could I just for a sec? That look that's a winner. So just for a
00:42:39
second going back because I kind of spaced out for a second. So you're in you're in Argentina in a jungle. Where
00:42:45
is everybody? What are they wearing and who are they? Okay, so when I I I I set out this the start of the show, episode one, I'm standing on a crate and there's all these crates around me which was
00:42:56
meant to be like the crates you'd bring reptiles in. You know what I mean? And I said, "Come out of your crates, you know, I've got an earpiece in. I don't
00:43:03
quite know who's who." And they they open the crates up and fair in man, we had like um we had like like a a priest
00:43:12
with a collar on. We had a we had a bulletproof vest. We had a we had a rodeo rider with the chaps and spurs and all that type of stuff. It's like the village people. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Exactly
00:43:23
like And we had And we had um I got a Village People story to tell you in a second. Okay. So So we had we had an
00:43:31
only an only fans model, right? I thought you know that jury duty. Yeah. Or the Josh Mo show. I thought I was the only real person and they were all
00:43:42
actors for like the longest time. They were tricking you. They were tricking me. But I
00:43:49
I was the mark. I thought I was the mark. That's a good idea, actually. It's not a bad idea for a show, right? And
00:43:55
I'm like I'm like, what? What the [ __ ] And you're in the middle of nowhere. You don't First of all, first of all, who
00:44:01
employs me to be a game show host? Like, it's already weird. And so, so all these people go and so right up until the show
00:44:08
aired, I wasn't completely sure. But I'll tell you my village people's story. So, I do another podcast with a
00:44:13
comedian. Good Amos Gil, another Australian club 1% club. Yeah, I do the 1% club in Australia. But this podcast,
00:44:20
this podcast is called ATM at this moment. It stands for uh different search on the internet. Anyway, so lingo. Yeah, lingo. Yeah. Oh yeah, I forgot about the other one. I
00:44:31
got to research that again. Yeah. So anyway, so I uh I I was doing a joke about how Trump has the YMCA playing at
00:44:39
all of his concerts, at all of his benefits or rallies and everyone does the the the dance and all that type of
00:44:46
stuff, right? Yeah. And I said I said it's so funny that that that song is about having gay sex in the showers and now all these evangelical people are dancing and stuff to the song. Seems a
00:45:00
little odd. I got a cease and desist letter from the Village People saying that I was going to be sued for defamation for saying that the Village People Music had gay overtones.
00:45:13
Is it does it not? It turn Victor Willis who's the cop. I I guess he was always at the front and he never turned around
00:45:20
to notice the rest of them because because he's he's he's married to a woman called Karen Willis. Before that he was married to Felicia, Mrs. Tuxable
00:45:30
from the Cosby show. He was married to her back in for Yeah. And um and and you're not allowed to say that the
00:45:37
Village People music has gay overtones. What? Or they will sue. They will get now possibly. We could be I said, "What about in the Navy and Macho Man? They're
00:45:50
as gay as [ __ ] Come on now. Come on now. Come on now. There's a there's a lyric in in the Navy
00:45:56
called We Want More Seaman." Like I'm all for a double ton, but don't try to tell me I'm a [ __ ] I think they're just saying, "Come on,
00:46:07
guys. Don't I mean, they haven't been outed to like three people so far." So they It's a catchy freaking song, man. I
00:46:16
tell you what, cuz after that, I started listening to their other music. It's banger after banger after banger. Yeah.
00:46:22
Yeah. It's like It's like It's like for disco music, you can't stop the music is a hell of a song.
00:46:29
I mean, that's such a hook. Now, my son watching you in Wayne's World, too, too.
00:46:35
Oh, yeah. Yeah. He knows every step because he loves that movie so much. Did you do it in that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:46:42
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He You were the construction worker, weren't you, Yeah? I was dressed as a construction worker.
00:46:47
I think we're running away from the bad guy or something. Somehow we end up in this nightclub and Wayne and I are now
00:46:53
doing YMCA with these people. Yeah. They they're all they're all doing uh um yeah
00:46:58
the YMCA and like you're all spies like you were up a telegraph pole and then you heard something and then I think
00:47:04
Wayne was like a cop and then somehow they found an Indian for no apparent reason. That's right. And all of a
00:47:09
sudden it comes together and then all of a sudden it was a little bit like like uh what's that police academy when they
00:47:15
end up in the blue oyster. It was a little bit of that. they ended up in the wrong nightclub and then they do it. But but that's the that's the dance because
00:47:22
you guys all did it and then you actually did the thing and then you I always say like if if the village people
00:47:28
actually do get me if I get my day in court and I am being sued by the village people I'm going to go not guilty
00:47:37
act it out. Is there any character left? I mean they've got the construction worker the Indian. I mean maybe you come
00:47:42
as other costume. I don't know. just come as crocodile dundee just off the side, you know. What is your son's name
00:47:49
that loves that movie? Hank. Hank. Hey, Hank. This is G. I got a different haircut, but thanks for watching. Uh
00:47:57
when when when we end the podcast, can he come up and say hello very quickly? He's downstairs playing video games.
00:48:03
Normally, Jim, that would be fine. Camera shy, just bring him up. We have to whisk Dana off. Will he come on or
00:48:09
you want to do it with off camera? He's also a big Joe Dirt fan. So, okay. Bring him on. Bring him on. Bring one.
00:48:16
Let's compare box office. Joe Dirt was my first Australian trip. I went to Sydney. Oh, what? You filmed it in
00:48:22
Australia? No, we went had a premiere there. It was the same. It was a night after the premiere of Mulan Rouge and uh
00:48:30
I went down there and I went to a concert and they sat me next to Baz Lurman. All this great Australian stuff.
00:48:38
He uh he he look he still flies the flag. I always argue that things like I guess Mulan Rouge is an Australian film,
00:48:45
Australian actress, Australian director filmed in Australia. Kylie Manog plays the Tinkerbell thing. It's an Australian
00:48:52
movie as soon as Kylie's involved. Yeah, Kylie, you know, right? Kylie's our Kylie. You can't speak ill of Kylie. No, no, I think she's great. Uh I like I
00:49:03
have great Australians are great. I do like it. Go ahead, Dane. And then I have one last story. I just It's just weird
00:49:08
sometimes. I was uh hosting Vegas showcase for movies and Baz Lurman was there, Mullen Rouge and Nicole Kidman. So I was hanging out with them. It's just kind of weird and you brought it up and that's that's my whole story.
00:49:20
There's no joke, nothing other than I met them at the promotion of the thing. Well, I think
00:49:27
[ __ ] nicotine [ __ ] two nicotines [ __ ] Who is stronger? Me or you? Sorry [ __ ] Sorry. Go ahead. That was just for me. I'm a little
00:49:39
punchy right now. Like back in the pocket. Jim, one last question. Then we're gonna ask everyone again so you
00:49:45
can have one more shot. Uh, this is a story from a viewer that said, "If this is not a funny story, we'll just take it out." I don't know if this is a funny story from you that your father sat you
00:49:56
down, you and your wife, to tell you something. I I can't I I can tell you that off the air, but I can't tell it
00:50:03
off the air. Look, my dad doesn't um uh Yeah, I can tell you off the air. I I can't tell it on the air. Sorry. Well, we have an after hours because my dad doesn't know
00:50:16
how to get on to YouTube or anything like that, but enough. It will get back to him on this podcast for sure. I
00:50:21
didn't know what level of it was, but I I apolog It's 100% true. It's 100% true that story. It's uh I don't know the story. That's why I'm waiting to hear. Well, you're going to Yeah, that just
00:50:32
tease. We don't need the story, but just the tease is going to trend. Yeah, we like the
00:50:38
Hey, man. It's all about click. So, let me ask you Hank line to the story. I I'll tell you
00:50:44
this. Okay, we can cut it out if you want. I can tell it to you right now. If you want to actually hear it. No, I don't want I'm scared. I don't want it
00:50:50
to accidentally. No, we don't want to embarrass you. I just need to know how this works. Alex Murray tell you about
00:50:56
this story cuz he knows Oh, okay. Cuz me me and David have the same manager. So,
00:51:02
uh, that's what's happened there. Well, I'll tell you this about the Carvey family. My my childhood family with five
00:51:08
kids and Bud Carvey and all that stuff that went on. Yeah. Throw away the key cuz no one would believe it. There's some things we leave. Some
00:51:18
things better not share. Just know that it's a little whack. Look, look. He He's He's 84 this year. If I back on the
00:51:26
podcast in a couple of years, I might be able to tell you. Okay. Yeah, fair enough. Well, give it give it some time.
00:51:33
2027. We're going to hold you to that. All right. Thanks, Jim. We'll talk. Really nice hanging out with you, man.
00:51:40
Thanks for having us, lads. I really appreciate it. Enjoyed it. So, it was kind of nice. We uh we just
00:51:46
um found Jim. Yeah. Jim Jeff, who's been around for a while, he's really uh has I
00:51:55
I found him uh very aphable, funny, uh likable, interesting. Yeah, I like you know, I've met him before. I was giving him uh uh a [ __ ] about Brad Pitt
00:52:07
because Brad, you know, Brad's a great guy. He's he knows Jim. I think he went on his show in the old days. Jim and I
00:52:12
used to work on the same lot, I think, when I was doing uh maybe Lights Out or something. He was around. So, uh, super cool dude and big and he travels he goes
00:52:23
all over the world. Uh, that sort of surprised me the places he goes and how much
00:52:30
how much he can he can fill them up over there because who knows? You just never know who knows you out there in the
00:52:35
world. It is kind of a thing. Yeah. The international comedian who just can go all over. I haven't done that, you know. I mean, you you did Australia. Yeah.
00:52:47
Maybe do stand up though. I just went there to do premieres. I didn't even Okay. Yeah.
00:52:52
I wouldn't know. I just It's scary to go over there because I would love to go, but they said if you go the first time,
00:52:58
don't you just go a small theater just try to fill it up just to see if it works and then you go back now people
00:53:05
know you do it, etc. Well, I like the idea when you said that you can just you can just drive around the UK. Yeah. Way
00:53:13
better. If you don't like getting in an airplane, you drive around the UK. So that seemed kind of cool. I mean, in
00:53:19
Scotland, I have relatives there, distant. I have McDonald on one side. Mhm. But it seems kind of cool. Maybe we
00:53:26
should do a little tour there. I also like that he has disabled people come back for a meet and greet. That was kind of a cool thing I haven't heard before.
00:53:32
It's a good idea, you know, because his his standup, at least in the old days, I was going to ask about his new stand up,
00:53:37
but it was it was kind of rough and tumble. And then juxtaposing that that he helps this disabled person and then
00:53:45
he now he has a following backstage and does meet and greets. I mean that was fascinating because it it makes him well
00:53:52
it just makes him extremely likable of course and human that that is his meet and greet and the two limb uh thing that
00:54:00
can't have you have to have more at least two limbs not working. Yeah. Yeah. I still like tall tenor as a name.
00:54:06
That's a good name. Maybe not for the next one, but it's a good special name because it's so odd that he goes they
00:54:12
don't have many tall tennis when you hear about an opera singing the tallest tenner you ever going to see in
00:54:19
your life. My Australian accent accent sucks right now I'll admit. But I watched a show an Australian show once with my wife and then I had it so [ __ ] good now. A [ __ ] if anyone
00:54:31
can get it, you can. I can't believe they can do American so well. Australian's a very tough one too to do,
00:54:37
right? We mentioned Margot Robbie in that conversation, too. And she also does a perfect American accent. I mean,
00:54:44
there's Yeah. You know, when they came over here, cuz I went to a speech coach for some movie to do a New Hampshire
00:54:51
accent. And she was like, I said, "When they come over, what do you do?" She was said, "Well, we say, "Are you from
00:54:57
Brooklyn? Are you from uh Florida? Are you from Arizona? Are you from North Dakota?" Like there's tiny differences all over. So it's not just American accent. They can have one bland one, but
00:55:08
is it southern? What kind of southern? So there's so many ways to go with that. Yeah. It's it's like we'd be Americans
00:55:15
are enamored by certain accents. And of course, if you meet an Irish man, how are you going? You're sort of like whoa
00:55:21
from those Irish movies. But I have Irish relatives who ended up in the Bronx in New York and they'd seen all
00:55:28
the Scorsesei Dairo films. And the first guy that talked like, "What are you what are you two stool doing today? What are
00:55:33
you doing over here?" They were like almost weeping with joy that they're talking to somebody who talk like that
00:55:40
to them. It was like amazing. If I if I had someone with a Liverpool accent, I'd be like, "Oh, wow." But they just love
00:55:46
that the exportation of uh the East Coast accent, all those mafia films. It's huge. We almost got that story out of them at the end, too. But uh
00:55:58
I have a feeling it was a little rougher on the edges. Yeah. I think the thing about Jim, he came to play. He was very
00:56:05
funny. Had a lot of energy. And uh at the end he goes, "Was it all right that I talk too much?" I thought that was
00:56:10
kind of human because I know I said we love comedian coming on and here's a great story. You know, the Russell Crow
00:56:18
restaurant story and stuff. So yeah, very much enjoyable. Well, thanks for listening. As you know, uh, Monday we
00:56:24
have another show and if you have any questions for us, we could try. Yeah, we want to hear from you. Fly on the wall at odyssey.com. So, odyssey.com. What
00:56:36

00:56:42

00:56:47
Do you own Bitcoin? Um, these are questions they can ask us, right? And then we we answer them. You ask, we're experts. We're experts in every field.
00:56:59
