Today's episode was filmed when I was down in the Australia,
00:00:33.760
and she's probably one of the biggest comedians in Australia.
00:00:45.400
Her Netflix show, Well Mania, and she's currently touring the U.S. right now.
00:01:12.580
11 minutes ago, my Australia, New Zealand tour went on sale.
00:01:28.260
So I'm just being a little bit obnoxious for 30 seconds.
00:01:32.340
To make sure, know that it has uploaded because Instagram has become really needy.
00:01:38.420
When you post, you've got to keep the app open for it to upload.
00:01:49.460
Well, I'm just going to sit there with a video of myself playing while I sit with you and talk about myself.
00:01:57.540
It's like you will see somebody editing a photo of themselves and writing in their diary at the same time, you know?
00:02:06.980
I always say that to people when they're about like press and stuff like, oh, you know, the press are running shit on me.
00:02:19.460
And I'm like, turn Google alerts off on yourself.
00:02:23.860
You don't need to get Google alerts about yourself every fucking 10 minutes.
00:02:31.620
I also have been in a hotel for four nights, which buckles my voice.
00:02:38.500
Why do you think the air in there is bad or something?
00:02:46.260
But when, you know, hotels are fancy, they don't.
00:02:51.780
I've been in ones where it's like, it's so you're like, I'm not even going to sleep.
00:02:56.900
If I even blink my eyes, it's going to cost me 30 bucks.
00:03:02.020
I remember the first night I stayed in like a really fancy place.
00:03:11.940
I came here to fucking use this place, you know?
00:03:14.820
I even, I think I remember, I read one of the books or something.
00:03:26.400
I left the water going for a couple hours, I remember.
00:03:31.980
No, just usually a little bit of hairspray, I guess.
00:03:47.380
Well, when I travel, like in a hotel, I have to take my pillow.
00:03:56.380
In the hotel I was just in, had some, a couple of bottles of water and it said complimentary.
00:04:04.100
But they're like, just pointing out this bit, complimentary.
00:04:11.620
The least you can do, give me some complimentary water.
00:04:20.800
They'll have like the complimentary ones, like the little ones that.
00:04:26.040
And the little ones sometimes are even like warmer somehow.
00:04:29.100
It's like they, they want it to seem like maybe it's been already used once or something.
00:04:35.380
Someone else has run this around their mouth, spat it back in.
00:04:48.240
And then they'll have the larger cool bottle next to it.
00:04:58.100
It's like, well, I don't want that shitty water.
00:05:01.500
And you have to remortgage your house to fucking pay for it.
00:05:10.660
We'll come in with a nicer one on a tray in a little bit.
00:05:14.940
Dude, you know what's interesting about Celeste Baba?
00:05:53.660
And I'm excited to learn about women and Australian women.
00:05:58.900
One thing that's interesting, you guys call it a toilet that I think is really...
00:06:20.260
You ever walk in there and there's an Indian guy just like, do you want some bubble bath?
00:06:33.600
When I'm in the States, I have been, you know, in a restaurant or whatever.
00:06:44.560
And they're like, oh, the restroom is over there.
00:06:51.300
It's like, if you walked in there and somebody was sleeping, just Goldilocks in there under
00:06:59.380
Just full of people with narcolepsy, just chilling out in there.
00:07:08.000
A lot of them look, I want to say kind of semi-Korean, I want to say a little bit.
00:07:16.520
A lot of them are definitely unemployed, it looked like, if you go in the one area where
00:07:23.240
they're all just sleeping in the fucking branches or whatever.
00:07:30.900
We went to the Brisbane Forest Hills, not a cemetery, what's it called?
00:07:48.920
It's just a Ouija board and they're like, we promised you're petting it.
00:07:52.160
Yeah, and koalas are now endangered species in Australia after the hideous bushfires we
00:07:57.480
So when you said that, I was like, oh God, that's heartbreaking.
00:08:03.400
I know that's really cliched, but a few years ago I got to hold one and it was just, it
00:08:11.060
Her name was Lucy and I fucking fell in love with her.
00:08:18.080
But then they turn, like really, they can kind of turn.
00:08:25.360
When they're on heat, they were chasing after my husband.
00:08:33.160
Oh, the Irish are the only humans that I feel like get in the heat and they just can't
00:08:37.180
You'll see them rubbing up against a damn hydrant in the street.
00:08:44.860
But on the internet, they have a lot of videos of Irish hydrant action or whatever.
00:08:52.780
Now at the, at the park we went to, they had, they, there was an instance, there's a lot
00:08:59.060
There's, and a lot of them are, I don't want to say opiates have hit the area or whatever,
00:09:03.580
but there's a lot of them that are resting a lot, right?
00:09:09.400
You don't want to be near them when they're not chilled.
00:09:14.760
So you want to be around the ones that are chilled in the restroom.
00:09:23.080
I don't know if he wanted a midnight snack or what.
00:09:31.660
He had a watch on, which I thought was kind of crazy.
00:09:38.900
Um, his tail had a, uh, it was like diamond encrusted.
00:09:58.020
I was like, Jesus, is this, what does he know about me that I don't know?
00:10:06.220
Oh, being in Australia and nice to be in your country.
00:10:14.060
Uh, you guys, the, the audiences are more nonchalant here.
00:10:20.980
Like you'll come out on stage and they, they, maybe a couple people get up, you know?
00:10:29.600
I've noticed that when I'm over there on stage, it's the first, I reckon five, seven
00:10:35.300
I'm like, calm the fuck down, like sit down and then I can talk to you.
00:10:41.800
But here in Australia, kind of walk out and everyone's like, all right, bitch, prove it.
00:10:47.600
We have this thing, like a tall poppy syndrome in Australia where you get too big, we'll come,
00:10:55.980
Oh, like that Petraeus, like who was that runner, that guy who shot, killed his wife?
00:11:13.280
If he's not, don't run that because that's shit if I say that that guy's-
00:11:30.160
Oscar Petorius granted parole after serving 10 years for the murder of Riva Steenkamp.
00:11:54.460
And they gave you, what is today, a Wednesday, Thursday?
00:12:09.960
South African Paralympian Oscar Petorius has been granted parole effective January 5th,
00:12:14.060
2024, after serving 10 years for the 2013 murder of his girlfriend, Riva Steenkamp,
00:12:19.160
known as the Blade Runner for his carbon fiber prosthetic legs.
00:12:23.620
He went from a public hero to a convicted killer.
00:12:37.440
The parole hearing took place at the Adderidge Correctional Center near the capital, Pretoria,
00:12:41.820
where Pistorius has served the majority of his sentence.
00:12:48.380
He's trying to shut down International Women's Day, that's for sure.
00:12:50.420
That's for damn sure he is, and I'm not going to let him.
00:12:54.000
Ms. Steenkamp's parents gave an interview to a British newspaper in February for the 10th anniversary
00:12:57.540
of their daughter's death and said that they had not forgiven Pistorius.
00:13:08.440
Anyway, I really shouldn't have talked about that.
00:13:14.600
You're going to the States, so you have a US tour.
00:13:19.240
It's a lot going to another country and touring.
00:13:25.740
Yeah, but most of my audience is in the States, so, and most of the money's in the States.
00:13:33.180
I go, my first show is May 2nd for Netflix is a joke in LA.
00:13:37.780
Opening night of the festival on stage at the same time as Seinfeld down the road.
00:14:01.500
It makes everything so much bigger and smaller.
00:14:03.980
Do you feel like, because a lot of your popularity came off the internet, right?
00:14:09.780
Like a lot of like, are people seeing me, right?
00:14:15.960
So did you feel like you had to make that up when you get on the stage?
00:14:20.180
Because sometimes it's scary, I feel like, if you get the publicity before you are-
00:14:29.580
I kind of, I, it was really important to me that I bridged that gap because the internet
00:14:37.860
So, you know, you've got millions of followers, but it doesn't fucking cost them anything.
00:14:41.180
So how many followers do you, you know, how loyal are people?
00:14:47.440
And you're on my, in my hand when I'm on the toilet, I'm good.
00:14:50.520
But then I wanted to see how that translated and it translated very well, you know, sold
00:14:55.940
But I, I really wanted to prove my stripes because I trained as an actor.
00:15:01.180
But I started the Instagram stuff because I couldn't get a fucking job.
00:15:04.840
So I did that and then, you know, it blew up and I, I didn't want to just, yeah, like
00:15:10.740
you say, just kind of be on stage and people be like, oh, you're better here.
00:15:14.540
So I wanted to make sure that it translates well.
00:15:18.700
There's something scary in a way, I thought about this, about people coming to see you
00:15:24.480
live because you're like, if they already like me, then all I'm doing is risking them
00:15:33.860
And it's fucking, there's something that's kind of like harrowing about it.
00:15:37.560
Like there's, there's times where I'm like, gosh, I just, if they already like me, I'm,
00:15:47.520
It's like, well, they like me and now I'm going to do a tour to see if they really like
00:15:55.340
It's like, prove it, prove it that you like me.
00:15:59.120
You know, cause of the parodies and stuff I do on Instagram at first, people are like, are you
00:16:02.540
just going to kind of come on stage and then just like change into different costumes?
00:16:06.560
So I thought, you know, it's that tricky thing of going, well, do I give an already
00:16:12.360
excellent, strong audience more of what I've already given them and what it seems like they
00:16:18.820
Or do I give them what I think would be a better show?
00:16:27.600
And then you just keep fucking going out and doing it.
00:16:30.140
And again, you know, you sell a show, you sell a tour, it goes really well.
00:16:56.280
There's definitely a, I have this thing, like, I want to make sure that I get to see every,
00:17:00.720
like, I'll go to all the more, like, I'll try and go perform at all the markets.
00:17:07.280
I'll go to like, as like, I mean, I can't, you can't go to like towns really, but there's
00:17:13.520
like fantasy in my head where I'm just on a bus, like, and we just set up a tent and
00:17:19.060
I'm just like, I just want to get every, I want to, yeah, I want to interact with everybody.
00:17:31.140
But I have, yeah, I think I have this romantic version, this old school version, you know?
00:17:42.380
We tried the motorcycle with the little thing on the side of it.
00:17:47.680
And I was like sitting there just holding a box of like t-shirts for merch.
00:17:52.600
We tried the camper van, like a family camper, you know, that you rent.
00:18:01.880
You got to jump out and kind of fucking push it up.
00:18:15.340
And some dangerous man complaining that the water fountain's broken.
00:18:22.640
My tour manager, Tim, and then two comedians, usually.
00:18:29.120
But then if you get a production, like if you start to go into places where you have
00:18:32.280
to bring production and then you have to bring like, then there's other people that
00:18:36.160
come, but they are more of like the production side, maybe.
00:18:41.720
It's pretty interesting to just see it and learn.
00:18:45.400
It's kind of scary though, some of the responsibility.
00:18:48.420
I think just with touring, it's like once you're like, okay, I'm really going to go do
00:18:57.520
We did a tour bus, 2018, massive fucking tour bus.
00:19:04.460
Had a fucking massive bedroom out the back and it was me and my best friend slash tour
00:19:09.400
And it was like a Janet Jackson backup dancer fucking bus.
00:19:19.100
We don't do tour buses here because it's too big.
00:19:30.680
When I came out of a sold out world tour, I was like, have I broken even?
00:19:33.480
And my manager's like, that fucking bus that you wanted.
00:19:38.080
But otherwise you're like walking or you're on a donkey.
00:19:43.540
The last tour I did, 2022, I did 80 shows in three months.
00:20:04.100
And you forget how much I need creature comforts.
00:20:08.040
Like get to a point where you're like, why am I still navigating how fucking doors work?
00:20:12.700
Because you're in a different place every time.
00:20:14.380
So some doors are pushed, some do you run into it.
00:20:21.100
And I don't want to say anything NATO or whoever the group, you know.
00:20:26.100
I don't know who does it, but whoever fucking make one door.
00:20:34.740
Outlaw some of those, like, some of those hinges are kind of, I don't want to say, I don't know what they are.
00:20:46.740
Okay, well, I just mean, some of them are willing to do anything.
00:20:52.640
I know, we need, on International Women's Day, let's get some fucking women making doors.
00:21:10.020
So, in America, there's a lot of women that will say that there's, like, a male glass ceiling on comedy and stuff.
00:21:23.320
But nobody says that the glass ceiling is made out of men.
00:21:32.400
All those glass ceilings are made by the same person.
00:21:37.220
Does it feel like that in the, like, in the Australia comedy scene, I guess?
00:21:43.640
But knowing the scene is totally different, you know?
00:21:50.880
I've always been funny, but I'm not like a comedian that's been gigging for 25 years.
00:21:56.280
Doing the 3 a.m. slot and all that sort of stuff.
00:22:02.280
And Australia's really different to the States.
00:22:04.840
Like, we don't have comedy clubs on every corner.
00:22:09.480
We have, like, open mic nights at pubs or bars.
00:22:13.160
But it's nowhere near as big as it is in the States.
00:22:17.460
I did notice that when I got to America, I went into a comedy club there.
00:22:23.420
And I walked into the dressing room a few years ago and I was like,
00:22:27.780
do you reckon we could take that massive life-size photo of Bill Cosby down?
00:22:36.700
And I fucking ripped it off the wall and shoved it behind the toilet.
00:22:45.320
Some of them, they're just, they're lost, I'll say.
00:22:48.640
They're obviously into a different type of entertainer.
00:22:59.080
What if he just said, what if that had been his, what if that had been his defense in court?
00:23:15.180
On International Women's Day, he's just jumped back out on tour, so what's just happened?
00:23:19.680
Are you telling me that his fucking tour went on sale the same day mine did?
00:23:28.340
So all your, just your Australia, New Zealand tour went on.
00:23:37.660
Netflix Festival, and then Phoenix, and over to Washington, and then fuck around for a bit.
00:23:47.860
So I'm trying, this will be the fourth time I've done a world tour, and I'm still trying
00:23:57.120
I don't know, like the last one I did, I was saying, you know, I did a heap of shows
00:24:00.560
because I was like, just cram the fuckers in so I can just go, get it all done, and then
00:24:06.960
But that was too, it's like still six or so weeks without seeing my kids.
00:24:17.860
They had three days to build the show and then take it on.
00:24:21.660
So this time I'm trying to do like a couple of weeks, and then we're going to have a week
00:24:27.160
So the family will come over, we'll hang out in Mexico, and then I'll go back out for
00:24:31.960
But it's just, it's hard to kind of navigate that.
00:24:36.100
Being like a mom and all that, but living on the other side of the world is really,
00:24:41.140
it's hard because most of my audience is in America.
00:24:44.360
I mean, my only child is my own depression usually, and I've just, that's.
00:24:50.460
But it's like outside of that little motherfucker, I don't have to, you know, everything's
00:24:54.600
pretty like, I can't even imagine with a family.
00:24:57.420
And that cunt goes with you everywhere as well.
00:24:59.960
You can't even leave her at home if you want to go out on the road.
00:25:04.460
I have two that came out of me, but I also have two stepdaughters that I've had for 20
00:25:15.620
I've had the girls since they were two and four.
00:25:20.540
So they're not at the house like asking for sandwiches and all.
00:25:24.520
When the eldest, Kaya, turned 18, I kicked the door in.
00:25:53.820
I've got a nine-year-old who turns 10 on Monday and a 12-year-old, two boys.
00:25:58.960
And do they think it's interesting that you're this funny lady?
00:26:01.380
Like, what is their concept of their mother as a comedian?
00:26:11.000
I will say, though, that my 12-year-old, my kids are really fucking funny, too.
00:26:18.140
Like, I don't think anything's funny and I think they're fucking funny.
00:26:23.700
So now that, you know, he's 12, he's kind of getting it a bit more.
00:26:29.120
He'll, like, I'll say something to my husband and he'll overhear and he'll be like, oh, mom.
00:26:40.920
It must be cool if your kid starts entertaining you kind of low-key.
00:26:45.720
That must be pretty freaking interesting because then it's like, oh, I made that.
00:26:51.500
But then when they're really annoying, I'm like, oh, I fucking did that, too.
00:26:54.480
Like, I see, you know, a lot of myself, obviously, in them and I'm like, yeah, that's going to be tricky for you, mate.
00:27:08.780
Like, do you remember whenever you got breasts or whatever?
00:27:27.500
And would you start to change the furniture around the house or anything?
00:27:31.860
I come to Sydney for a month and I say to my husband, fucking sucked in.
00:27:52.780
You got to get him a scratching post or something, like one of those cat posts, you know?
00:27:57.900
I wish, yeah, a lot more parents should do stuff like that or get some breasts that you
00:28:08.140
In some tribes, the brother will teach the younger brother how to masturbate.
00:28:19.060
So it's like, doesn't seem like a shameful thing.
00:28:21.340
It seems like this is a way that things are done in our culture, you know?
00:28:36.080
In all my experience, you boys just figure it the fuck out.
00:28:40.900
You just go out into the woods or you go into like some corner.
00:28:45.480
Or you hide in a hamper at a friend's house, you know?
00:28:54.540
If you ever needed him, he was in my one buddy.
00:29:14.700
I want to update everybody that we had a lawsuit from Kai the Hitchhiker.
00:29:25.940
And finally, it has taken seven months, but Morgan & Morgan helped get our case dismissed.
00:29:41.920
If you're ever injured, you can check out Morgan & Morgan.

00:32:00.340
I saw that the Just for Laughs festival, speaking of comedy festivals, was going out of business.
00:32:14.480
2024, Just for Laughs comedy festival canceled.
00:32:30.120
The Montreal company that operates the Just for Laughs comedy festival has canceled the 2024 edition of the event.
00:32:37.840
Which, when is, sorry, I'm learning things today.
00:32:50.900
They must have made, just realized it's not going to work.
00:32:52.940
A formal process under Canada's, um, has canceled the 2024 edition of the event after filing a notice of intention to make a proposal to creditors.
00:33:00.720
75 people were laid off Tuesday morning, according to a festival spokesperson who called the company's financial situation unsustainable.
00:33:09.560
The company cited lost revenues during the two years of the global pandemic and challenges facing the media industry, particularly reduced budgets at networks and streaming platforms as reasons for restructuring.
00:33:20.900
And, wow, it's kind of wild when things like that start to go away.
00:33:25.020
Um, but I think like things like Just for Laughs, they're not as much of a launching pad for entertainment anymore for, for comedians.
00:33:34.320
And that not, um, it's not a money making vehicle.
00:33:37.360
Like I don't, and I've always found it quite weird.
00:33:42.440
Cause you know, I didn't come up through standup, but that idea of going, there's 300 shows on over four days.
00:33:54.400
And each comedian's got to try and push their own fucking show up against that.
00:33:58.520
Like I didn't, I always found it kind of weird.
00:34:02.340
And I know so many of my mates do those festivals.
00:34:05.540
They're like, it's fucking impossible to sell, try and sell out even, you know, 300 seats.
00:34:11.300
It's impossible because my mates down the street, it's just, yeah, it's really hard.
00:34:15.400
It's like every venue in the world is selling tickets on the same night.
00:34:20.520
It's like, what if all your major sports teams played on the same night?
00:34:26.120
No, not sacred sport, but with the arts and comedy.
00:34:42.300
It's like soccer and rugby kind of a little bit.
00:34:52.520
I couldn't tell what the, it's kind of an interesting sport.
00:34:57.040
It seems like they're trying to play every sport at once.
00:35:03.620
But when I do see it and, you know, talking to people who love it, they're incredible fucking
00:35:14.680
Like, it's not, you run, you stop, you sit, you go again.
00:35:48.020
Because if you watch it, it looks very similar.
00:35:51.460
Oh, everyone listening who knows sports is going to be like this bitch trying to tell us about
00:36:12.420
But, like, as a kid, dance, you know, every day of my life up until I was 16.
00:36:19.360
Well, my main goal in life was to be a Janet Jackson backup dancer.
00:36:28.140
I've had dreams where I've met, um, Tito Jackson.
00:36:36.140
It was, like, at a recovery meeting, but I still got to meet.
00:36:56.680
What had a better seat in the fucking car park.
00:37:20.240
Because it's so much to be a backup dancer because you're right there.
00:37:34.600
So you need to know that when Janet breaks off from the group and does her thing, that's
00:37:42.560
But when she comes back, you've got to make sure you fall in line.
00:37:44.840
I think a lot about Taylor Swift's backup dancers.
00:38:03.700
No, I think people went in fucking cults together to that.
00:38:14.360
No, I don't think there was anyone there alone.
00:38:16.440
And if they went alone, they didn't leave alone.
00:38:21.620
Because she's on tour at the moment, biggest tour in history.
00:38:25.620
And Beyonce's on tour, biggest tour in history.
00:38:28.360
And you just fucking know that Taylor Swift's backup dancers also auditioned for that Beyonce
00:38:40.000
They bring out pumpkins and do, like, liturgical.
00:38:45.520
Next thing you know, one of them, yeah, just has, like, they'll have a stuffed animal.
00:38:53.660
One of them will be just, you know, landing their ass on the other one or something.
00:38:57.580
And before you know it, they have to keep it moving.
00:39:03.020
And I really noticed the backup dancers when Taylor would dance with them.
00:39:06.380
I'm like, oh, that's, I might want to re-Corey that.
00:39:21.180
And she dances in front of a hundred thousand people the way that I used to dance in my bedroom alone when I was nine.
00:39:28.940
I think even when you see her just, like, at other shows, you see her dancing.
00:39:42.440
You think some of them, like, that could be me.
00:39:44.060
Do you think some of them have to leave the tour because their ego gets too big?
00:39:48.120
I reckon some of them have to do a drop-in dance class once a week.
00:39:50.680
Just to really hone their craft because they're not getting it on stage.
00:39:58.780
You've got to be careful with what you say about Taylor.
00:40:01.020
Because the Swifties will come for you and skin you alive.
00:40:25.200
Some of the stuff you see at the shows is you will see a lot of people filming their child,
00:40:30.680
trying to get their child on to, like, look, Taylor, this is little Dino or whatever.
00:40:39.620
You know, yeah, this is Chloe and she's your, you know.
00:40:43.880
And she's, like, eating a bowl of fucking glitter or something.
00:40:54.340
I went to the bathroom at one point and I came back to my niece and I said,
00:40:58.920
oh, Taylor's, she got changed during this song.
00:41:10.720
She's, like, no, it's a completely different song.
00:41:14.780
One time I went to Green Day and the opening band performed and I thought that was Green Day.
00:41:38.720
So, one thing that people love about you, obviously, so much is just, like, bucking, like, the beauty trend and, like, taking on beauty in, like, such a ridiculous way.
00:41:49.180
Or is it just, like, what is, like, the fulcrum of, like, what you feel like you kind of, like, like to pinpoint?
00:41:56.620
Because you have so many videos of shit that's, like, yeah, like, somebody in the rain drinking a soda.
00:42:03.020
Just, like, things that's, like, that normally they make it look all sexy and erotic, you know?
00:42:08.400
And you just kind of make it look like real humans.
00:42:18.540
Um, I think just that whole idea of unrealistic ideals of women being sold as realistic.
00:42:30.740
Like, before social media, you know, you get a magazine or whatever you see in the media.
00:42:38.900
Yeah, you're like, oh, it's Cindy Crawford being fucking amazing.
00:42:41.920
She's on a motorbike, in a bikini, on an Empire State building, drinking a Pepsi.
00:42:48.920
It's an edited thing and that's what it's been sold as.
00:42:51.660
Then kind of social media came out and similar ideas are being pushed.
00:42:56.680
But it's like, this is what I look like, dropping the kids off at school.
00:43:02.440
And it's 4am and she's in a bikini and she's doing yoga on a beach.
00:43:06.820
She's got a green juice and her kids are, you know, gorgeous.
00:43:11.520
I'm like, bitch, that's not what fucking school drop-off looks like.
00:43:22.300
Because then when you get it on your phone, you already hate yourself.
00:43:27.620
And it's 3am and you're breastfeeding your child who won't fucking breastfeed.
00:43:30.760
But you have to breastfeed them because if you don't breastfeed them, you're a shit mom.
00:43:35.060
Because that's something else we have to be doing.
00:43:42.900
And you're scrolling through your phone and then you see these images and they get into that psyche.
00:43:51.500
But at least I could put the fucking magazine down or turn the fucking TV off.
00:43:55.280
And then we get these in our hands and if you put that down, you'll fucking explode.
00:44:08.980
And then here's the worst part is I think that then your brain starts to feel bad or something.
00:44:13.500
Then you release some like thing into your breast milk and now your kid fucking feels bad.
00:44:22.180
Because some chick with no kids is fucking, you know, showing her tits near a toaster oven
00:44:33.100
But I also wanted to show the other, like, I'm sure there are people out there that do
00:44:40.260
sail on a yacht to drop their kids off to school in bikinis and are incredible.
00:44:50.320
Why do we get afraid, I think, to share whatever is probably really real, I guess?
00:44:59.600
And I think maybe because it's boring, it's not aspirational and we have to constantly,
00:45:06.480
especially, you know, in the public eye or in the media, got to be aspirational.
00:45:11.860
Someone asked me in an interview yesterday, well, what's next?
00:45:14.200
You know, you're going to go to World Tour, you're doing this, you're doing that.
00:45:19.540
I want to try and figure out how to live one day without anxiety and sleep for longer
00:45:29.440
It doesn't always have to be, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that, I'm going to
00:45:35.360
Yeah, well, I think there's, it definitely creates a world of like, I have to do something
00:45:44.460
Because people have seen it next, seen it next, seen it now.
00:45:46.700
Even like in TV now with streamers, consume television on streaming services, the way we
00:45:54.280
And this is one of the crazy things that happened.
00:45:57.440
You start to not even value, you don't even realize how much production goes into television
00:46:05.200
They value it as like, if this doesn't get my attention pretty quick or I'm not in, I move
00:46:10.160
And it's almost like you scroll past it and to think that that much production and time
00:46:16.100
and creativity and everything would go into a program and you would just scroll right past
00:46:23.540
It's one of the reasons I think why like even JFL are saying that there's problems because
00:46:28.240
there's just tightening budgets at all those places because they, they can't figure out
00:46:33.960
how to make it, um, where people are sticking around, you know?
00:46:38.260
And people want everything for free, but that's, that's, you know, that's what the industry
00:46:44.000
and, you know, society, social media, all that sort of stuff has put out there.
00:46:47.500
It's like, if you don't binge this show in two days, you're a fucking idiot because we've
00:46:51.880
got 40 other shows that are coming up that everyone else is watching.
00:46:54.740
So you have to, you have to kind of keep up watching it.
00:46:58.600
And if you don't, well then aren't you a loser?
00:47:06.140
And then it totally cares if your children can't read this fucking second episode of
00:47:17.080
And that's, I think that really dilutes the quality of what we see because Bridgerton,
00:47:24.240
It drops and you binge it in two days and then everyone loves it and they're like, you have
00:47:32.760
So instead of going, all right, well, let's go and develop some scripts.
00:47:36.640
Oh, we're going to, you know, what draft do you usually shoot on?
00:47:42.740
Elizabeth needs yellow fever or whoever the characters are.
00:47:49.220
Put Bridgerton in a fucking coma and let's fucking keep it moving.
00:47:53.280
Episode one, but episode two, fucking bring them out.
00:47:56.580
Things start to lose quality because we want things so fast.
00:48:00.640
It used to be, it's, you know, it's always been a tough industry and challenging kind
00:48:07.600
of like that about it, but it's fucking brutal now.
00:48:15.360
Trying to, like I had a show on Netflix that went really well.
00:48:25.160
And I, and I, and they said because of numbers, but the numbers were really good.
00:48:29.420
It's, you just have to keep up and it's, you can only can control that so much.
00:48:35.600
And a lot of these people making those choices have no idea.
00:48:40.240
They're, well, they are just, yeah, they're, they have no idea what's cool.
00:48:45.320
And that's one of the, also one of the things that I do like about people being able to make
00:48:50.780
their own content and have their own voice is because those people thought they knew everything.
00:49:03.680
Their networks are making shit that nobody's paying attention to.
00:49:09.120
I think it's, I think it's part of the problem.
00:49:12.960
I mean, I'm probably a little jaded too, you know, similar thing happened to me, but it's
00:49:19.760
And in the U S like the comedy central got so woke and everything they put on people that
00:49:25.620
It was just like, and it, and then now they'll like give, they want to come and offer you
00:49:36.500
They're like, we're going to give you 16 cents for your special.
00:49:40.460
I'm like the one that I sold out worldwide and made a fuck ton of money on.
00:49:48.300
Was that, did that, did that feel kind of scary?
00:49:50.280
Because I guess when you're an actor, getting a show is such a huge thing.
00:49:57.480
I just saw that you, I know that you did it and that's all I know.
00:50:00.220
I was executive producer on it as well, which I fucking loved.
00:50:03.640
Did you get one of those little chairs with the black back on it?
00:50:13.680
I was, you know, it was a show that was built around me.
00:50:18.780
It was a book that was then turned into a show and they wanted to build
00:50:23.580
it around me and had awesome people on it and we made it and it's fucking
00:50:29.720
I loved the story as well of being a woman, 41 now, you know,
00:50:34.740
on screen being big and loud and flawed and annoying and weird and exciting.
00:50:41.440
And then before we're talking about audiences and people come up to me
00:50:45.780
in the street and just like women, they're like,
00:50:54.100
really would have loved to have extended that and given more to that story
00:50:58.520
and seen more in that character as well as being the lead in a fucking show
00:51:15.960
I like Bondi Rescue and I like, um, you know, Chris Lilley shows.
00:51:27.500
The problem is, well, Netflix took half of their, they used to have it up.
00:51:43.460
She's a naughty girl with a bad habit, a bad habit for drugs.
00:51:58.660
No, it's, we have Australian of the Year in Australia.
00:52:06.080
Well, it's all, again, different characters all over Australia who are nominated to be
00:52:15.700
Yeah, the only one who plays it up on Summer High was on like YouTube in like, and it's
00:52:20.880
somebody else watching it on their television and then putting the episode up.
00:52:37.680
I kind of dropped off after Summer Heights High for no fucking reason.
00:52:42.520
I just, I didn't really see much of that stuff after that.
00:53:00.380
And what about when the other kid comes up that's like a better dancer than him?
00:53:15.100
It's just, it's, that was like the Seinfeld of Australia, I feel like, in a way.
00:53:23.060
You're like, could anything get more perfect than that?
00:53:34.960
He came on the podcast last time I was in Australia.
00:53:38.600
I came downstairs in the hotel and he's just kind of standing off to the side kind of.
00:53:42.860
Like, kind of has this like, kind of like shyness, I guess.
00:53:50.520
I'm interested that he did your podcast because I don't think he does much, does he?
00:53:53.980
I don't think he does a lot of stuff like that.
00:53:58.740
I'm going to try to get to say hey to him before I leave town.
00:54:10.080
It's another Australian show that's fucking brilliant.
00:54:17.640
It's like recipes and Down syndrome, basically.
00:54:33.100
He can get a little agitated sometimes if the vegetables aren't right.
00:54:43.800
So, Sean and Marley, one of them has Down syndrome, I believe.
00:54:48.100
And I believe they are, I don't know if they're Christian or not, but they're Asian.
00:54:54.980
Well, we can't watch it, but they're great, though, if you get to see them.
00:55:11.800
He said to me on the phone, he's like, Mom, will you make it to the game?
00:55:16.520
I went, look, my flight gets in like 20 minutes before you start.
00:55:28.000
Dude, my mom would sit in the third, out in the outfield in the van, and she would say,
00:55:33.780
hit it or we're leaving, and she would fucking lay on the horn.
00:55:42.000
Because she didn't want to wait for the second time for the baddest to go around.
00:55:46.060
Because I didn't get to play much in the field.
00:55:47.700
They would put me out there, but it was like, they didn't want me out there.
00:55:59.580
There was things I didn't like about it, I guess.
00:56:03.660
You always feel like you're supposed to do yard work.
00:56:12.760
That's never good when you've got depression, man, out there.
00:56:17.060
I'm just wondering where the nearest fucking bridge is.
00:56:31.120
And it also seems like they don't really do it.
00:56:35.900
And then all of a sudden something happens and everyone shits themselves.
00:56:40.880
Like, no, like, four people of the 50,000 people that are fucking standing out there
00:56:45.620
playing get excited for 10 minutes and everyone goes home.
00:57:01.160
I think it's a lot more fun than a game of cricket, probably.
00:57:03.420
I think anything is a lot more fun than a game of fucking cricket.
00:57:09.940
I've been wanting to say that, but I think I always be afraid to say it because I'm like,
00:57:35.180
There's this clip on YouTube of NFL players watching rugby league games.
00:57:43.680
And because it's fucking brutal league, like, they have some padding.
00:57:48.760
They run at each other and they just, you know, demolish each other.
00:57:54.100
But it's really funny footage of these massive NFL players going, what the fuck?
00:58:27.060
Yeah, when I see a lot of pain, I feel it in my genitalia.
00:58:31.760
Is that a weird thing you think that happens to people?
00:58:33.360
I think men just talking about their genitalia in general, kind of weird.
00:58:42.000
We hope you're enjoying your Air Canada flight.
00:58:52.860
Fast free Wi-Fi means I can make dinner reservations before we land.
00:59:07.360
Wi-Fi available to airplane members on equipped flights.
00:59:11.880
A lot of you guys know we started off with our first advertiser ever was Gray Block Pizza.
00:59:20.360
And the owner of Gray Block Pizza, my friend Thomas, evolved his business up in Oregon to
00:59:28.880
And he sent me one and it's absolutely beautiful.
00:59:36.600
If you value American made and pinnacle cold exposure, this is your cold plunge.
00:59:46.220
What I love is you can set that temperature, get it down to, I mean, it might just, you might
00:59:55.360
I haven't put it that low, but you can set it to a place where you feel comfortable.
00:59:59.220
I'll get in around 50 degrees for about 10 or 12 minutes.
01:00:02.080
And that's what really sets me and activates me.
01:00:05.880
I've done it before podcasts to really put me in, just put me in my body and put me in
01:00:12.680
You know, the positive side effects of cold plunging are, are countless.
01:00:18.060

So follow them at blue cube baths and, uh, we wish them the best of luck, um, and thank
01:00:38.020
So early on is pornography causing a problem in your life.
01:00:45.460
It has in mind, it has it certain periods in my life, uh, watching porno and everything
01:00:53.000
and watching porno was making me, it was ruining my life.
01:01:01.620
Well, I'm watching pornography has become commonplace today.
01:01:05.520
And oftentimes men will use porno to numb the pain of loneliness, boredom, anxiety, and
01:01:14.320
I want to introduce you to my friend, Steven Walt.
01:01:24.880
Valor recovery is a program to help men overcome porn abuse and sexual compulsivity.

01:02:07.140
And again, there's no commitment when you reach out to them.
01:02:11.080
Um, but I promise you, uh, only something positive will come, uh, from you reaching out and figuring
01:02:18.720
out if, um, if what type of help, if any, uh, could benefit you.
01:02:27.640
I guess if your child's going through puberty, you gotta, like, you gotta fuck.
01:02:32.860
Like, do you ever talk with your husband about how to do that?
01:02:40.820
We got an email from his school saying, just so you know, this term we're doing like sex
01:02:48.460
And I said to my son, sucked in, you're going to get it at school.
01:02:53.760
We try and talk to him, but they know fucking how kids know shit.
01:02:58.960
But I think sex ed is when it gets really weird because then it's like somebody is talking
01:03:04.500
about it and everybody's in the same room at the same time.
01:03:09.780
I remember they passed around like a doll in our class, which was crazy.
01:03:14.660
I'm like, people are like, abusing this doll kind of like, and there was a male doll and
01:03:21.100
Like I'm just, but I think it's so, cause you remember that energy?
01:03:30.800
Maybe I wasn't at school when it was happening.
01:03:32.820
We have this thing in Australia called Healthy Harold and this fucking van comes around to
01:03:43.240
He's a giraffe and you go into the Healthy Harold van and they have like figurines and
01:03:50.740
it's like, this is what a uterus looks like or, or like, this is what like skin can't
01:03:56.300
like skin or, you know, like, but then I remember Healthy Harold comes, it's, it's a lot.
01:04:04.080
And then Healthy Harold comes back and then they talk about sex ed and I didn't, maybe
01:04:11.840
I don't remember the whole, you know, healthy Harold condom on a, um, banana thing.
01:04:24.840
I, well, that's, that's pretty interesting that they use a giraffe to do it and he comes
01:04:31.320
So I was like, I'm fucking good not learning about this in a weird dark van.
01:04:36.260
We are getting into a van, I think, but that's happened.
01:04:39.360
So a lot of, a lot of people have gotten into a van.
01:04:40.940
And learn a lot of shit, learn a lot of shit in a van.
01:04:45.920
Almost like an ice cream truck that just goes around with facts about sex.
01:04:49.580
You just need to get, um, parents to sign off on it.
01:04:54.380
We, we do try to talk to my boy a bit about it, but.
01:04:58.280
Like that's, that, that, that, that's just thing I would wonder.
01:05:00.280
Like what do you, and what's the school saying?
01:05:06.560
They're like, you can, you think it's international women's day.
01:05:12.980
So it was just kind of letting us know that they're going to be talking about a menstrual
01:05:24.540
I'm like, I've got my period, getting my period.
01:05:33.940
Cause it's not looking good for any of you guys for a while.
01:05:37.760
But now my nine year old will be like, um, did you want something to, if I'm like, I've got
01:05:50.380
I also have heard my husband walk into the kitchen and say to my boys, boys, it's fucking
01:06:03.060
And, um, will you guys have any more children you think?
01:06:11.420
So, and I'm really busy with work and I'm like, maybe if I just have a baby, I don't
01:06:19.000
I need to stop and just have a baby because that's easy.
01:06:26.060
I think just so they can get out of work, maybe get out of work or something or not have
01:06:34.640
So men are like, oh, I'll have this baby and then it'll make.
01:06:51.660
And my youngest really wants me to have another baby because he wants to be a big brother.
01:06:57.300
But I'm hoping my stepdaughters will hurry up and get pregnant.
01:07:01.960
As long as somebody kind of fulfills that space a little bit, I think that's super important.
01:07:08.280
Oh, there was a bunch of beauty tips I was going to ask you because so many things you
01:07:11.300
went through like with about like beauty and different things we're talking about, like
01:07:23.800
What do you think about some of these new ones that people are doing?
01:07:31.160
I think it's sweeping bright blush across your face onto your nose.
01:07:36.840
Who wants to highlight the bridge of their nose?
01:07:39.460
I think it started probably with COVID or something probably because people were sick
01:07:44.580
So I think people are like, I might as well fucking look really bad.
01:07:53.840
This is where I guess, yeah, people are putting snails in.
01:08:01.900
The texture of the snail slime on your face is already giving us the heebie-jeebies.
01:08:05.960
Actually, a snail on your face would feel fucking wild, huh?
01:08:10.980
I could feel that in a very specific part of my spine.
01:08:15.340
It would be the actual, for me, the slow movement of the snail.
01:08:22.640
I would rather look like a hat full of assholes than fucking sit through that.
01:08:40.840
Like, I don't know if it's soothing or not, though.
01:08:45.600
He told me that this is the neatest thing I've ever heard.
01:08:48.540
That you can look at anything and know what it will feel like on your tongue.
01:08:54.320
Because when you were a baby, you put everything in your mouth.
01:09:04.220
Like, you can look at anything, like material or anything, and you can know what it will feel like on your tongue.
01:09:14.980
But he said it's because you tried everything when you were a child.
01:09:18.480
But it doesn't kind of check out, because, like, when I look at those lights, I know how it feels on my tongue, but that's not because I shove lights in my face as a baby.
01:09:38.320
Yeah, now I'm kind of freaking out a little bit.
01:09:46.140
Sometimes, when I've got so much on, and because I've got ADHD as well, when I'm really overwhelmed, I can feel the front part of my brain.
01:10:00.840
And when I think about that, I'm like, what other parts of me, if I think hard enough about them, can I feel that you don't usually think about?
01:10:09.560
Like, same with if I had a drink of water or something, free, and then someone tried to talk to me, and I had to answer them, and I couldn't swallow.
01:10:21.360
And then I went, I forgot how to fucking swallow all of a sudden, because...
01:10:26.300
Because you don't have to think about swallowing, right?
01:10:29.860
So when you do think about it, you forget how to do it.
01:10:33.440
But sometimes, I can feel the front part of my brain when I'm overthinking.
01:10:39.200
And I feel it's the same thing about that tongue thing.
01:10:41.120
I don't usually think that I can feel my tongue until I think about it.
01:10:45.400
We're going to put this part on the calm app to put people to sleep.
01:10:54.880
Celeste's going to tell you about the front part of her fucking brain to put you to sleep.
01:11:09.680
Dude, if we made a calm app episode, that'd be so fire.
01:11:19.300
Yeah, but it's fucking great, because he reads you like a story.
01:11:23.780
And at the beginning of it, he's like, hello, Harry Styles here.
01:11:30.360
And I'm like, fuck, all right, Harry, why don't you read me a little story?
01:11:39.640
I'm trying to think of some good ones I would like to hear, maybe from Randy Quaid, maybe.
01:11:47.380
I feel like if Kai Sinat did one, it would be pretty fucking fire, too.
01:11:50.740
But yeah, I don't know what his would be like, maybe.
01:11:52.940
That would be great if everybody started making those.
01:12:03.120
Do you do any impressions or impersonations, kind of?
01:12:10.060
Like, try to work on it for a while or think about it?
01:12:14.680
I kind of, I had a little moment of wanting to do SNL back in the day before anyone gave a shit about who I was.
01:12:20.360
But I was like, I'm not really good at that stuff.
01:12:22.540
I fucking think it's amazing, though, people that do it.
01:12:30.080
He's, like, a really entertaining guy, very funny.
01:12:38.680
They hired him as a cast member a while, like, three years ago.
01:12:42.320
And then the next day they looked at some old episode from a podcast or something and said something on it and they took him off.
01:12:52.320
And then he blew up since then and he has, like, a huge career.
01:13:03.160
I thought he was going to say at the last minute.
01:13:08.800
I kind of wished he would, but I don't know if that's just, like, a petty part of me that wished that.
01:13:14.500
Sometimes that petty part of you just shows up, you know?
01:13:31.680
Like, now, when you think about it, because you've been traveling a lot, right?
01:13:46.460
That's why when I get hotel rooms, I always try to get, like, an open-a-fucking-window.
01:13:51.080
Because it's been, like I say, four days I've been in a hotel or in a car or anything like that.
01:13:59.540
Sometimes when I go to certain places, I'll stay in a place that doesn't have any air conditioning.
01:14:07.020
But by, like, the second night, you kind of get into, like, this real natural sort of pattern, kind of.
01:14:12.340
And your body kind of self-regulates itself with heat and everything.
01:14:23.260
Did you see, well, you said you have ADHD, huh?
01:14:50.940
Because sometimes I wonder, how do you notice it?
01:14:56.220
Because 16 is kind of a young age to diagnose somebody with something, but that's how we do it.
01:15:06.500
But back then, ADHD was just like, shut up and sit down, have a pill, fuck off.
01:15:22.580
I find it as I get older, it's kind of getting harder.
01:15:30.860
But, um, I get the medication makes me anxious.
01:15:36.000
So it's like, well, which fucking devil do you choose to hang out with?
01:15:40.740
You're going to be like, well, I'll just be scattered and full on.
01:15:45.580
Or not as scattered, not as full on, but anxious as fuck.
01:15:51.000
And I don't know if it's a career thing as well, you know, with more success and all that, with so much going on and so much demand.
01:16:02.260
See all this stuff online and people are like, ADHD, you know, it's my, I find it, it's like my superpower.
01:16:12.420
People, again, I think it might be a social media thing.
01:16:16.420
It means I can do that and do that and do that and do that.
01:16:18.780
And I'm like, I can't do that or that or half of that or any of that.
01:16:23.880
And, and, and I've got a heap of people that work for me and I fucking hate them all because they don't do enough for me.
01:16:28.260
They do it like, it's just, I find it exhausting and it's the dopamine thing.
01:16:35.100
I don't, we don't produce dopamine, that fucking drug that makes you happy.
01:16:50.680
I think we just don't quite, I think we are, it's harder.
01:16:59.940
And I, and I really, I feel that on a fucking cellular level.
01:17:17.300
People with ADHD have at least one defective gene.
01:17:25.100
Gene makes it difficult for neurons to respond to dopamine.
01:17:28.620
The neurotransmitter that is involved in feelings of pleasure and the regulation of attention.
01:17:32.100
Can you please tell me, can you please tell me what, maybe they need to have at least.
01:17:37.980
Listen, can you please tell me what the DRD2 gene is?
01:17:42.540
Is that just, I wonder if that's what's in Ritlin.
01:17:46.640
Dopamine receptor D2, also known as D2R, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DRD2 gene.
01:17:57.520
The dopamine D2 receptor is the main receptor for most anti-psychotic drugs.
01:18:02.880
The structure of DR2 and complex with the atypical.
01:18:19.800
Yeah, because I just, I'd say, what if I take an antidepressant?
01:18:22.140
Because I got off like three months ago and then I just got back on like two days ago.
01:18:30.800
Coming off though, I actually, my last stand-up show, I talk a lot about that.
01:18:40.120
I found the harder part for me is realizing that I have to go back on right now because
01:18:45.120
I think I didn't want to have to be back on and traveling in Australia has been, it's
01:18:51.640
It's been tough to like, I had a good pattern of like fitness and stuff at home and I've
01:18:56.180
still been doing well, but just not as organized.
01:19:01.500
So it put me in a, like a real, I got into like, I got real angry and then I got like
01:19:07.520
in a real tough spot and I just didn't know what else to do.
01:19:11.340
So I was like, I think I just have to get back on them.
01:19:13.620
So I think part of me was really bummed out that I had to.
01:19:20.900
I remember when I had to go, I was on them, then I went off and went back on them and I
01:19:29.500
I felt trapped on antidepressants because it takes so long to come off them.
01:19:33.600
Like coming off them, like it takes six weeks, you know, have to wean yourself off.
01:19:38.180
I was like, I just, I don't want to have to do that again.
01:19:42.740
So I'm like, have I just, and the tough part is I don't have a lot of feelings.
01:19:47.380
I'll have feelings, but it's hard to know what they are because the antidepressants kind
01:19:53.000
And then a lot of times some feelings I don't process.
01:19:55.320
So I get in this tough spot where I'll get off the antidepressants so I can have some
01:20:00.880
But then sometimes if I'm not careful, there's some pitfalls and that can get, you know,
01:20:06.620
And so it's just tough because, and it's like, well, like I wanted to, like, I want to get,
01:20:15.600
And so I start thinking, well, I don't even know how I feel about people sometimes.
01:20:19.440
Like if I'm dating, it's hard for me to even know because it's just hard for me to access
01:20:28.640
It's like, oh man, I just saw that dog get hit by a bus or do I like Sharon?
01:20:37.820
So, so I was like, I have to get off of these or I'm just going to be stuck in this cycle
01:20:42.400
of not knowing how I feel about someone, you know?
01:20:46.740
But then it's got, it's just gotten too steep recently.
01:20:50.580
I am back on now and then maybe I'll get off whenever I get back home.
01:20:53.340
See, I'm, when I'm touring, I'm in the best routine.
01:20:59.080
When I'm at home, I'm so fucking scattered with the kids and life and just to, and I
01:21:05.760
think cause I probably have my husband there as well.
01:21:08.660
And is a husband helpful or is a husband not helpful?
01:21:22.460
Is it hard to love somebody after you're like married for a while or does it get different
01:21:33.680
I think, I mean, he's the only thing I've committed to and not, I'm not, I don't just mean person,
01:21:47.040
Really, really, really, really crave stability, yet I'm fucking terrified by it, but I need
01:22:03.560
But it's, it's, I'm, I love, yeah, stability and I get that from him.
01:22:14.120
Cause I think I have like a tough time with commitment.
01:22:16.180
I just, it's like fucking the last thing I want to do.
01:22:19.780
Well, I think I'm a goal orientated person as well.
01:22:23.380
So, like, I'd kind of met him and went, let's go.
01:22:45.340
It's almost sort of a romantic and long distance.
01:22:51.200
He's at home making things for me, making it nice.
01:23:00.580
And so, now with touring and being away for work, we're kind of used to it.
01:23:06.380
Do Australian comedians feel like they have to go to America?
01:23:14.820
I mean, for me, yes, because my audience is there because of the internet, but there's
01:23:18.780
some fucking brilliant Australian comics, some of my favorite, that are here and are
01:23:26.520
I mean, I'm sure they probably want to go do what they want to do, but they're killing
01:23:33.080
So, you know, a lot of our comedians are all on TV as well.
01:23:39.420
They don't need to worry about fucking off over there.
01:23:46.240
It's like, you can go somewhere and you're not going to get killed.
01:23:50.180
Well, yeah, by a gun, you might buy a fucking shark.
01:23:54.120
But you're going to notice that your pants are getting wet first before you're like-
01:23:57.800
When you go swimming in the ocean, you're like, today might be the fucking day.
01:24:02.560
You know, it's milling in a park and it's some fucking-
01:24:11.880
Yeah, it's one of our most dangerous animals over there is just homeless people and-
01:24:19.380
Can you imagine if guns were all over your country?
01:24:24.560
When I'm over there, I'm in the States, I'm like-
01:24:27.520
We rolled into a place when I was doing a show on the last tour and 500 meters down the street,
01:24:39.540
And I was like, are we alerting authorities to get me the fuck out of here?
01:24:43.080
Like, you know, it's the biggest thing in the world for us.
01:24:51.800
If there's a shooting in fucking Queensland, I'm telling you, siren-
01:24:58.120
And I remember then these women came to my show that night and I do a meet and greet after
01:25:08.560
Like, three people were fucking shot and killed.
01:25:16.500
And then I, you know, you make the decision not to talk about it because it's like,
01:25:20.040
I'm giving you guys an hour of laughter and I don't want to be that Australian that comes
01:25:25.540
And then I did a meet and greet and there was this group of women after.
01:25:31.700
And I was like, that's really full on with what happened.
01:25:38.300
Well, no, they just, you have to, because they're going to put their kids on a fucking
01:25:41.560
school bus the next day and send them off to school.
01:25:45.440
Anyway, do you miss your kids when you travel without them?
01:25:48.100
I'm like, oh, you guys have different coping mechanisms than we have.
01:25:53.800
Oh, well, no, it's gotten extremely just severe and bizarre over there.
01:25:59.700
People are like wishing their children well and like getting them like Kevlar and stuff
01:26:03.740
for Christmas and like bullet resistant things.
01:26:07.160
And all the debates that go on after there's a shooting, they're like, well, you know why
01:26:10.920
It's because some random man had an issue once with his mother and found a, and I'm
01:26:29.040
That's the problem is at this point, there's, there's no.
01:26:34.400
You're so far in with the NRA and everyone's all up in everyone.
01:26:41.700
We had a mass shooting, Port Arthur, 96, was it?
01:26:47.020
And, um, it was the greatest mass shooting we've had in this country.
01:26:54.020
You got $300 for everyone who brought in their fucking guns and they fucking, sure.
01:26:58.620
There's psychos who were like, no one gets my gun, but we did a buyback system.
01:27:18.840
You got to cut all this out because now I'm terrified when I go to America, I'm going to
01:27:23.520
I sent a DM to Pablo Escobar's wife when she got out of prison and I haven't been killed
01:27:42.380
But still, I think, yeah, people could perceive that wrong.
01:27:50.300
You don't realize how less stress I feel being here.
01:27:57.900
You don't realize that there's always this thought in the back of your head that somebody's
01:28:20.260
I'm doing everything I can to get the fuck out of this now.
01:28:34.420
Because the criminals are not going to turn them in.
01:28:36.380
And the guy that's afraid the criminal isn't going to turn it in, isn't going to turn
01:28:39.980
Don't you have incentives to buy guns over there?
01:28:53.800
If you try to take somebody's fucking belly button.
01:29:23.300
When I get there, I'm like, well, I can't because I don't know.
01:29:26.620
You guys are like a, like a, like a, like when the, you know, when the, um, the, the rare
01:29:36.360
I feel like that's what it's like when Australians come.
01:29:46.020
I just feel like people are so intrigued about seeing you guys, but there is a peacefulness
01:30:08.100
We went to Auckland as well and you meet people who are saying, making sounds and they
01:30:30.780
Oh, I saw a guy, he's sprained his fucking spine trying to finish a sentence over there.
01:30:35.800
I think you just maybe ran into someone who happened to be on fucking ice.
01:30:45.160
Like the one dude who's on fucking meth in the street you rock up and talk to.
01:31:00.020
When you're putting your mind to it, you know exactly what to do indoors.
01:31:08.640
We were all running so fast, multiple running in the 50s.
01:31:14.120
So I wanted to be in front and I could hear how far she was behind me.
01:31:46.180
We were all running so fast, multiple running in the 50s.
01:31:51.720
So I wanted to be in front and I could hear how far she was behind me.
01:31:59.060
Her mate's like, you've put the mic on the wrong, bitch.
01:32:03.980
You know, when she's not doing that, she's a suit operator at fucking Disneyland of Mickey Mouse.
01:32:10.140
You could convince yourself Mickey Mouse has just broken the 400 meter indoor world record.
01:32:40.480
The Dutch runner in the world championships with a world record of 49.24 seconds in the
01:32:46.280
400, but blew past the timing again in Glasgow.
01:32:50.140
I want to know what happened 30 seconds before that interview.
01:32:58.740
Her mate was like, I don't reckon we need to do an interview.
01:33:03.400
And they're like, no, we've already achieved so much.
01:33:06.800
And she's like, you guys never let me do interviews.
01:33:21.680
No, that's the only thing that's going on in the world.
01:33:25.260
I mean, there's other biggest stuff we could talk about.
01:33:35.560
I think it's like an Australian tradition coming here and going to the zoo, huh?
01:33:49.340
And yeah, it's like you really get close to some animalia.
01:34:01.800
He played for the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles.
01:34:24.740
He went through like also he talked about like his family.
01:34:29.300
I think sometimes it's almost you wonder though like are they trying to get them to do more now?
01:34:39.880
Look, I thought it was very genuine and very touching.
01:34:44.300
I was like maybe on a podcast like, you know, you're going on later and having a chat to someone about.
01:34:51.040
It was just me and my brother and we just like just come out and make the announcement.
01:34:57.400
It's been a great 40 years and I've been playing catch-ups.
01:35:05.400
Oh, that's a good point on International Women's Day.
01:35:09.600
Do you think that people are less emotional in Australia?
01:35:22.480
It's kind of interesting the side effects of like, because I've always thought Travis Kelsey like darker women, right?
01:35:33.680
Like if he ate an Oreo, he would just eat the sides.
01:35:46.580
So it's just, I think a lot of people, I, yeah, I think there's a lot of like, a lot of people wondering the reality behind that.
01:35:57.840
And you don't know with the media, you don't know what their strategy is.
01:36:01.880
They could easily approach people and say, this is what we want to do.
01:36:06.620
Well, Australia shat themselves when he flew in for one of her concerts.
01:36:13.600
I just wonder what his life is going to be like now, because that's a level, I feel like, of fame that's kind of like miserable.
01:36:29.680
I wonder if you think about that before you, but maybe you don't.
01:36:39.140
If you love someone, you're like, fuck, whatever.
01:36:41.680
But I think if you go in with it, with an idea of it being an arrangement, then it's different.
01:36:49.020
If you don't, if you love someone, you just go into it and then you find yourself in interviews, always talking about them, always talking about your relationship.
01:37:01.520
Oh, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, that level of fame.
01:37:13.240
It already, sometimes it's weird when it starts to feel like your own name doesn't even belong to you anymore.
01:37:20.200
Even when I'm on a fucking phone call, calling, you know, a kid's school.
01:37:27.140
Like, I feel like it going, can I speak to so-and-so?
01:37:29.980
Or, yeah, saying, even saying my name now feels kind of weird.
01:37:34.860
When my mates are like, we will get a table somewhere, they're like, say, Celeste Barber.
01:37:45.740
How do you mean you've got the fucking table at Nobu in Sydney?
01:37:49.280
And then they just spend the whole time at dinner going, she's coming.
01:37:56.880
If you're waiting for a table out there, make sure you say...
01:38:05.540
Well, I'm glad I got to have a table for a little while today with Celeste Barber.
01:38:11.160
I know you have a lot going on, and I know you have to go home to your son's birthday.
01:38:23.740
Yeah, I was trying to learn as much as I could about Australia,
01:38:26.540
but I think we talked about Australia some, huh?
01:38:29.860
You're going to do, like, Great Barrier Reef or Great Ocean Road,
01:38:35.440
I think the next time I come, I'm going to come back one more time.
01:38:44.660
I used to have a dream I would meet my wife in Australia.
01:38:47.680
But I think a lot of people romanticize stuff like that, you know?
01:38:53.520
But I think the first time I came, I did shows like,
01:38:57.540
and it was like travel show the same day, that sort of thing.
01:39:09.460
Got to be at the Gold Coast and see different places
01:39:13.420
and spend a little bit more time in different cities.
01:39:17.300
You know, you're going for three weeks and you're like.
01:39:28.740
To slow it down so you can kind of live and enjoy work.
01:39:31.200
But like I was saying, I can't with fucking kids.
01:39:44.660
We got some electric bikes and we got to ride out onto the water,
01:39:51.520
It might have been the neatest thing I've ever done.
01:40:05.880
I just wanted to just rip my fucking penis off.
01:40:22.700
and just throw it into whatever I'm having fun at.
01:41:07.140
People have names like Buddy and Poppy and Lily.
01:41:09.860
Yeah, in America when we're there and my other son's name is Lou.
01:41:16.800
And Buddy's like, how does everyone know my name in America?
01:41:20.240
In America we have names like Bullet and Casket.
