The last 0:00:42.670 --> 0:00:47.029 road trip that I need to really take around the country, um, 0:00:47.090 --> 0:00:49.930 because the final show when you're listening to this is tonight. 0:00:49.970 --> 0:00:53.430 Central Coast is tonight.

But if there's any left, 0:01:04.430 --> 0:01:09.700 get them. Come tonight. But I just spent the weekend 0:01:10.420 --> 0:01:14.520 in Newcastle. We did the Newcastle show finally. Oh my God. 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.040 Sold out so quickly. 0:01:16.060 --> 0:01:17.990 Can I say as well before we jump in? 0:01:18.580 --> 0:01:20.660 Um, I was at the Newcastle show and I want 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.780 to get to talking about it, but I want to 0:01:22.819 --> 0:01:24.540 say to all the scrollers that were there, like I 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.440 was sitting in the back row and then by the 0:01:26.459 --> 0:01:28.319 time the show finished, it was like 20 past nine. 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:30.500 It's a Thursday night, by the way, like a school night. 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:32.760 Then when we left, we were like one of the 0:01:32.819 --> 0:01:35.400 first ones to leave and I could see a few 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.260 girls like wanting to stop me and say hello. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.020 So I got a quick photo, but then I. 0:01:38.980 --> 0:01:41.720 Just had to backdoor it because I just knew if 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.539 I stayed, I would have been standing there for an hour, 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.459 which I would have loved to have met everyone, but 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.300 I was ready for fucking bed. So I had to go. 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.160 So I'm so sorry to anyone because there was like 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.760 people looking. But then I think also everyone was just like, 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:56.380 we're all leaving. 0:01:56.500 --> 0:01:57.060 You know what I mean? 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:58.220 But I would have loved to have done a meet 0:01:58.260 --> 0:01:59.700 and greet at your show, Matt. But I was like, 0:01:59.750 --> 0:02:00.870 I've got to go because I've got to go to 0:02:00.890 --> 0:02:01.210 work tomorrow. 0:02:01.250 --> 0:02:04.890 I would love that because I don't do one. Someone better. 0:02:05.610 --> 0:02:11.980 And the Newcastle was fabulous. The Newcastle audience was incredible. Like, oh, 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.990 my God, such a fun time. And I feel like 0:02:15.070 --> 0:02:17.910 everyone there enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I was scattered as fuck. 0:02:17.990 --> 0:02:19.850 There were just so many things happening behind the scenes 0:02:19.889 --> 0:02:24.269 that a lot of people didn't obviously know were happening. 0:02:24.330 --> 0:02:26.070 I think you're too hard on yourself when you say 0:02:26.110 --> 0:02:28.570 things like that because you did not come across like 0:02:28.610 --> 0:02:29.410 that once. 0:02:29.630 --> 0:02:33.090 Thank God. I'm very happy. But I could tell that 0:02:33.130 --> 0:02:35.260 because I could tell the audience was fucking loving it. Yeah. 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:40.100 But my brain was not in show mode. A lot 0:02:40.139 --> 0:02:43.240 of problems were happening online. Um, cause of a lot 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.660 of things, just like little technical aspects and blah, blah, blah, 0:02:46.700 --> 0:02:50.540 just in the lead up to that. And it all 0:02:50.580 --> 0:02:53.100 kind of happened so quickly that I didn't have a 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.550 chance to kind of stand there backstage and go, okay, 0:02:56.590 --> 0:02:58.649 take a breath. We're about to do this. It was like, 0:02:58.690 --> 0:03:01.490 I was like putting my earrings on and walking on stage. 0:03:01.530 --> 0:03:04.459 Like I was like, fucking hell shit, let's go. So, um, it, 0:03:04.650 --> 0:03:05.950 I was a little bit all over the place, but 0:03:05.970 --> 0:03:07.540 I could tell the audience couldn't really tell. And I 0:03:07.580 --> 0:03:10.320 could tell the audience really enjoyed themselves. Um, I'm, I'm 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:10.900 happy with that. 0:03:11.250 --> 0:03:13.120 I'll tell you one thing I did pick up on. 0:03:15.070 --> 0:03:17.290 And I think in this episode maybe we can give 0:03:17.310 --> 0:03:19.410 a little bit more context to like what Bring Back 0:03:19.470 --> 0:03:22.170 Glamour was all about because like it's basically finished. If 0:03:22.190 --> 0:03:24.230 you're going to see the show tonight, maybe don't listen 0:03:24.250 --> 0:03:25.209 to this episode. 0:03:25.430 --> 0:03:26.190 Spoilers. Yeah. 0:03:26.950 --> 0:03:30.390 But one thing that I found is some of your jokes, 0:03:31.210 --> 0:03:32.490 like it's a comedy show. 0:03:32.530 --> 0:03:35.510 You're literally jokes left, right and center the whole time. 0:03:36.110 --> 0:03:38.610 Some of them are like what people would consider to 0:03:38.650 --> 0:03:40.430 be like slightly controversial or whatever. 0:03:41.060 --> 0:03:42.300 I could feel the. 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.740 Audience like holding back their laughter because it might be 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.460 like in their brain to like, oh, I. 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.280 Shouldn't laugh at that. Do you know what I mean? 0:03:49.340 --> 0:03:53.240 Like I felt the audience going like, like under their 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:54.920 breath kind of thing. Whereas I think like if you're 0:03:54.940 --> 0:03:56.580 in a comedy show, just fucking laugh. 0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:00.260 I know. And I do feel like that's with the 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.890 Newcastle show because I was so scattered. There were a 0:04:02.930 --> 0:04:04.850 few things that I didn't, I was literally just about 0:04:04.870 --> 0:04:06.390 to say this before you picked up on that, but 0:04:07.010 --> 0:04:08.930 there were a few things that I just didn't hit 0:04:09.090 --> 0:04:12.370 home hard enough. Because like my brain just was a 0:04:12.410 --> 0:04:14.450 little bit out of it. And one of the things 0:04:14.490 --> 0:04:16.510 that I don't think I hit home hard enough with 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.760 the Newcastle show is this is a comedy show. You 0:04:19.779 --> 0:04:21.880 can fucking laugh at these jokes. Yeah. 0:04:21.900 --> 0:04:23.180 Because I felt like people going like. 0:04:24.020 --> 0:04:24.500 Yeah, I know. 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:25.920 And I'm like, just laugh. 0:04:25.980 --> 0:04:28.260 Or like they're holding the laugh under their breath because 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:29.799 they're like, oh, I shouldn't laugh at that. 0:04:29.860 --> 0:04:30.060 Yeah. 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:31.960 But like the whole point is it's a comedy show. 0:04:32.050 --> 0:04:32.500 Exactly. 0:04:32.730 --> 0:04:34.549 You can just laugh and no one's going to judge. 0:04:34.630 --> 0:04:38.450 Yeah. But, you know. Yeah. And that's what I talk 0:04:38.470 --> 0:04:41.260 about when I talk about like, When audiences get on board, 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:42.520 it's such a better show. 0:04:42.660 --> 0:04:44.200 Yeah. 0:04:44.220 --> 0:04:49.180 So, for example, Tamworth got on board, which was crazy 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.290 because the show on paper should not work in Tamworth. 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.690 It shouldn't work in regional towns, but it has. 0:04:55.870 --> 0:04:58.890 I truly think though, Matt, like from a business sort 0:04:58.930 --> 0:04:59.470 of standpoint. 0:05:00.660 --> 0:05:04.040 Your shows on Fridays and Saturday nights would just be 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.360 way more well-received because of the mindset of the audience 0:05:07.500 --> 0:05:10.700 that it's the weekend. People have a different mindset on 0:05:10.740 --> 0:05:12.820 a weeknight versus a weekend. 0:05:12.940 --> 0:05:13.660 Yeah, 100%. 0:05:13.660 --> 0:05:15.400 So I reckon like if it was in. 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.360 Let's say you did another one in Newey on a 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.060 Saturday night, I reckon it would be off the chain 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.440 because as soon as it's the weekend, people are in 0:05:22.460 --> 0:05:23.589 a different state of mind. 0:05:23.690 --> 0:05:26.830 Yes. Well, we realized that with Coffs Harbour because Coffs 0:05:26.870 --> 0:05:30.710 Harbour was The first time we've done a 9 p.m. show. 0:05:30.730 --> 0:05:32.130 On a weekday? 0:05:32.390 --> 0:05:33.150 On a Friday night. 0:05:33.310 --> 0:05:34.330 Oh, so they would have been lit. 0:05:35.230 --> 0:05:37.860 A little too lit, I will say. Coffs Harbour was 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:44.180 the most bizarre show of my life. And I enjoyed myself. 0:05:44.500 --> 0:05:48.180 The audience seemed to fucking love it. But the audience 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:53.470 was so, so fucking lit. Because usually it's like 8 p.m. 0:05:53.510 --> 0:05:56.130 the latest. Yeah. But 9pm, I think it just gave 0:05:56.150 --> 0:05:57.510 them an extra hour to drink. 0:05:57.589 --> 0:05:58.990 They would have been out for dinner, having drinks. 0:05:59.010 --> 0:06:02.150 They were lit as fuck. It didn't feel like a 0:06:02.190 --> 0:06:04.750 comedy show. I felt like a drag queen doing a 0:06:04.850 --> 0:06:08.170 number on stage. And it was so bizarre. Like there 0:06:08.190 --> 0:06:10.790 was a lot, they were very chatty. They were talking 0:06:10.850 --> 0:06:13.810 to themselves to Coffs Harbour. Like I'd make a joke 0:06:14.110 --> 0:06:16.130 and then they'd laugh and turn to the person next 0:06:16.150 --> 0:06:17.530 to them. And then they'd just go into a full 0:06:17.550 --> 0:06:20.969 blown conversation. And I'm like talking, I'm onto the next 0:06:21.029 --> 0:06:23.450 kind of joke. And they're still laughing and carrying on 0:06:23.500 --> 0:06:27.700 about the last thing. And then I just, I would ask, 0:06:27.820 --> 0:06:30.000 I would ask questions. Cost Harbour I noticed as well. 0:06:30.020 --> 0:06:32.099 I think that was so drunk that sometimes I'd make 0:06:32.140 --> 0:06:34.099 a joke and there'd be a two second beat and 0:06:34.140 --> 0:06:38.580 then they'd laugh. Or I would, I would say, you know, 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:39.680 cause there's a bit in the show where I say 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.610 make some noise. If it like took them an extra 0:06:42.670 --> 0:06:45.650 second to, to understand whether they should make some noise 0:06:45.670 --> 0:06:47.490 at that part or not. I don't know. It was 0:06:47.510 --> 0:06:49.110 really weird. I also said the bit where I go, 0:06:49.130 --> 0:06:51.870 make some noise if you love Tracy Grimshaw. Silence in 0:06:51.930 --> 0:06:55.669 Coffs Harbour. Dead silence. Not one person made any noise. 0:06:55.710 --> 0:06:57.229 I went, what the fuck? 0:06:57.250 --> 0:06:59.800 Do you want to know what's funny? Spoiler alert again. 0:06:59.830 --> 0:07:02.640 If you're seeing it tonight, don't listen to this episode. 0:07:03.100 --> 0:07:06.440 But towards the start of the show, like you call out, 0:07:06.500 --> 0:07:07.680 is there any straight men here? 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.560 Yeah, I got a bone to pick with AJ. Why 0:07:09.580 --> 0:07:11.200 didn't he make any noise? He did. 0:07:11.260 --> 0:07:13.739 So you say it two times in that first section. 0:07:13.970 --> 0:07:15.290 No, I only usually say it once. 0:07:15.350 --> 0:07:16.790 You said it twice. You did it twice. 0:07:16.870 --> 0:07:18.730 I know because no one's made any noise and I 0:07:18.770 --> 0:07:19.770 knew there were straight men in there. 0:07:19.810 --> 0:07:21.350 So the first time it was like, yeah. And then 0:07:21.470 --> 0:07:23.870 I like elbowed him. And then the second time, that's 0:07:23.890 --> 0:07:26.950 when he went, yeah. So that was AJ. 0:07:26.970 --> 0:07:30.530 But then like three quarters of the way through the show, 0:07:30.550 --> 0:07:31.890 you call out the straight men again. 0:07:31.980 --> 0:07:32.190 Yes. 0:07:32.420 --> 0:07:34.980 He stayed silent and I was elbowing him and he 0:07:35.020 --> 0:07:36.240 wouldn't say anything. 0:07:36.260 --> 0:07:38.620 And I'm like, what's wrong with you? 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.990 But that. It works because then I say, nah, there 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.950 were more of you earlier. Like, you know, and that 0:07:44.010 --> 0:07:45.890 then leads into the immigrant bit where I go, nah, 0:07:45.910 --> 0:07:47.390 there were more of you earlier. And then I make 0:07:47.430 --> 0:07:51.670 that very rude joke about the immigrants. Um, so yeah, 0:07:51.770 --> 0:07:54.430 it works. Like it's all to set up something else 0:07:54.750 --> 0:07:57.930 at the end of the day. Um, but yeah, Coffs 0:07:57.950 --> 0:08:00.230 Harbour was a bit crazy. Um, and it just felt 0:08:00.250 --> 0:08:01.850 like a fever dream. So I just went and had 0:08:01.870 --> 0:08:03.390 a few savvy bees after the show and was like, 0:08:03.410 --> 0:08:04.610 what have I just, I mean, don't get me wrong, 0:08:04.630 --> 0:08:06.800 Coffs Harbour. I fucking loved you. And it was a 0:08:06.900 --> 0:08:09.920 fucking fun night. Like, but it really was the most 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.360 bizarre show ever. And just little things, you know, we've 0:08:13.380 --> 0:08:15.820 spoken about how like a lot of different aspects kind 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:22.050 of alter an audience's reactions. So the room was quite 0:08:22.150 --> 0:08:24.190 lit up. So I could see at Coffs Harbour, I 0:08:24.190 --> 0:08:26.310 could see everyone in there. Like Newcastle, I can only 0:08:26.330 --> 0:08:28.390 see the front three rows and everyone else was in darkness. 0:08:29.370 --> 0:08:31.050 So I'm just kind of like looking out into the void, 0:08:31.150 --> 0:08:33.810 but in Coffs Harbour, the room was pretty lit up. 0:08:33.830 --> 0:08:36.530 So I could see right to the back row. And 0:08:36.550 --> 0:08:39.400 then Tamworth was just another level. They were just, they would, 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.060 I think Tamworth, like the poor bloody things were just 0:08:42.100 --> 0:08:44.360 so excited to have something new in town that they 0:08:44.380 --> 0:08:47.620 were like, Oh my God, they were screaming. They were 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.280 pissing themselves. They got really on board with all the 0:08:50.330 --> 0:08:54.810 controversial jokes. They really, they just loved it. And, um, 0:08:55.620 --> 0:08:57.040 we had such a good time that we went out 0:08:57.059 --> 0:08:58.680 and anyway, I won't go into like going out. Cause 0:08:58.700 --> 0:09:00.920 I always tell going out stories here, but we went 0:09:01.020 --> 0:09:04.000 out me and Toby, Toby came with me over the weekend, 0:09:04.020 --> 0:09:05.660 which if you don't know, Toby, he's my best friend. 0:09:05.700 --> 0:09:07.360 And he was meant to come to the final show 0:09:07.380 --> 0:09:08.660 at the central coast. And then we're going to have 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.439 a big party or something afterwards. Um, but he now 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.140 has to work. So he, he was like, I'll come 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.100 to Tim. I'll come on the 10 worth weekend with you. 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.060 And so we were like, we'll just go out for 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.970 one drink. And we went to this bar, which had 0:09:21.020 --> 0:09:23.059 no one in it. And we had, one drink and 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.000 it was so delicious. We had another one, two cocktails. 0:09:25.020 --> 0:09:26.439 They were Long Island iced tea. Yeah, what did you say? 0:09:26.460 --> 0:09:27.540 It was a passion fruit Long Island? 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.420 It was a passion fruit Long Island iced tea. So 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.480 it was Long Island iced tea, but instead of the Coca-Cola, 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.520 it was like pineapple juice and passion fruit. Oh my God, 0:09:34.540 --> 0:09:37.490 it was delicious. This was, I think it's called Press Bar, 0:09:37.550 --> 0:09:41.230 Press Basement Bar in Tamworth. Gorgeous little bar, but no 0:09:41.290 --> 0:09:43.410 one in there on this particular night. They said, usually 0:09:43.429 --> 0:09:45.329 we're really busy, but we've got no events on tonight. 0:09:45.350 --> 0:09:48.490 So we're really dead. And anyway, had a fabulous time. 0:09:48.510 --> 0:09:50.310 And then we said, where do you want to, where 0:09:50.350 --> 0:09:52.210 should we go? And they said, I'll go to the courthouse. 0:09:53.730 --> 0:09:56.240 So we went to the courthouse. Can I tell you, 0:09:56.420 --> 0:09:58.330 I had a better night at the courthouse in Tamworth 0:09:58.350 --> 0:09:59.910 than some of the nights I've had out in Sydney. 0:10:01.050 --> 0:10:02.740 We went in, it was all the good music, all 0:10:02.750 --> 0:10:07.599 the Pitbull, the Enrique Iglesias, the 2010s party music, LMFAO, 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.440 Every Day I'm Shuffling, all that sort of music. So 0:10:11.020 --> 0:10:12.820 Toby and I were just loving our lives and I 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:14.700 basically just had a meet and greet for two hours. 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.600 It was like everyone in Tamworth knew who I was. 0:10:17.620 --> 0:10:21.280 I've never felt so famous in my life. So thank you, Tamworth, 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.220 because it was just photo after photo after photo after. 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:25.959 Can you do a video for my friend after? Oh 0:10:26.300 --> 0:10:28.520 my God, love the podcast, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, we 0:10:28.540 --> 0:10:30.640 met these girls who were kind of like our like 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:34.100 core kind of group for the night who, you know, 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:35.280 because a lot of people were just coming up and 0:10:35.300 --> 0:10:37.220 getting a photo, but like they actually wanted to dance 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:38.459 and like have a good night and we were getting 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.730 drinks and blah, blah, blah. And anyway, we had such 0:10:40.750 --> 0:10:44.089 a fun night that then they were like, oh, we're closing. 0:10:44.110 --> 0:10:46.620 We're closing. And we were on the dance floor for 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:48.620 like two hours. And I was like, I need some 0:10:48.660 --> 0:10:50.360 fresh air, babe. So we went out into like the 0:10:50.420 --> 0:10:53.320 smoking area. But as we got out there, the security 0:10:53.340 --> 0:10:55.959 guard was like, we're closing this area. Get back inside. 0:10:55.980 --> 0:10:58.350 And I'm like, it's too fucking hot. Let's just go home. 0:10:58.370 --> 0:10:59.689 And then they were like, come back to ours. So 0:10:59.710 --> 0:11:03.720 these two scrollers, we go back to her house. Not 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.959 going back to a scroller's house. Well, yeah, I ended 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:10.160 up at a scroller's house. And they were like, oh, 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.000 they asked where I was staying. I was like, oh, 0:11:12.020 --> 0:11:14.620 the Ibis style still. And she was like, I just 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.750 live around the corner. Around the corner, 40 minutes later, 0:11:17.970 --> 0:11:20.070 I walked all the way there. I'm like, fuck. Because 0:11:20.090 --> 0:11:22.050 she was like, oh, we'll Uber. And I was like, oh, 0:11:22.070 --> 0:11:23.970 you said it's just around the corner from the Ibis. 0:11:24.030 --> 0:11:26.089 We walked here. It's only 10 minutes. We'll just walk home. 0:11:26.110 --> 0:11:27.990 Come on. It'll do us good. 0:11:28.630 --> 0:11:30.689 Because stepping is a real exercise. 0:11:30.790 --> 0:11:30.910 Mm-hmm. 0:11:31.580 --> 0:11:33.840 Anyway, we should have got that fucking Uber because 45 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.939 minutes later, we finally get back. Like what was so bad? 0:11:36.980 --> 0:11:39.520 The girls are taking their shoes off because they're getting blisters. Like, 0:11:39.750 --> 0:11:42.470 I'm sorry, girls. We should have just, we should have 0:11:42.490 --> 0:11:46.610 just got that Uber. But anyway, we get in. Toby 0:11:46.650 --> 0:11:49.980 had another drink, which we cooked nuggets and chips. I 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:51.260 had a few nuggets and chips. I was like, I've 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.060 hit a wall after that walk. I've got to go home. 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.589 So anyway, we, We went home and they were very 0:11:55.630 --> 0:11:57.709 lovely and they booked us an Uber. So thank you. 0:11:57.809 --> 0:11:59.890 And we got some wild stories from them. I found 0:11:59.950 --> 0:12:02.620 out Tamworth's the fattest town in Australia. Don't know if 0:12:02.650 --> 0:12:04.160 anyone knew that, but that's a fun fact for you. 0:12:04.179 --> 0:12:08.059 Tamworth is the fattest town in Australia. Literally 61% are 0:12:08.420 --> 0:12:11.200 classified obese, so people living in Tamworth. I thought that 0:12:11.220 --> 0:12:14.199 was a crazy start. I didn't know that. Everything in 0:12:14.220 --> 0:12:17.200 Tamworth is three minutes away from one another. Tamworth's quite small, 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.679 though big population, quite small. If you're driving somewhere, it's 0:12:20.700 --> 0:12:23.520 like five, ten minutes and that's it. That's all in Tamworth. 0:12:23.830 --> 0:12:26.429 They've got four McDonald's, North, South, East and West. They've 0:12:26.450 --> 0:12:30.030 got three KFCs, I believe. They've got other fast food 0:12:30.050 --> 0:12:30.350 as well. 0:12:30.410 --> 0:12:31.880 I've never been there. I want to go. 0:12:32.179 --> 0:12:34.920 Oh, highly recommend Tamworth. I mean, I went to the 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.179 gift shop. We had such a good fun night out. 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.900 It was just fun, fun, fun. Like we would just, 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.959 everyone was really nice. Like it was just, I just, 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.170 I haven't had that much fun in that way in 0:12:47.210 --> 0:12:49.490 such a long time. Because obviously I've had fun, but 0:12:49.530 --> 0:12:52.110 I haven't had that much fun. It was just really bizarre. 0:12:52.130 --> 0:12:54.390 There was something in the air. It kind of, maybe, 0:12:54.410 --> 0:12:56.750 I don't know how high above sea level Tamworth is, 0:12:56.870 --> 0:12:59.730 maybe the altitude or something. I don't know. I just, 0:12:59.929 --> 0:13:03.000 I just was like, wow, it's got such charm. It's 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:07.059 got such fabulousness. It was really quite glamorous. And I 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:08.579 went and bought a hat and a pin and a 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.699 fridge magnet, and also a little, um, like golden guitar 0:13:11.740 --> 0:13:13.060 thing that you can clip a photo in the top. 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:14.100 So I'm going to print out the photo of me 0:13:14.140 --> 0:13:16.500 and Toby in front of the golden guitar. And, um, 0:13:18.220 --> 0:13:21.400 put that in its little stand as well. Like we 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:26.300 just had such a good weekend together and I fucking 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.080 love Tamworth. Remember, you know, I've always said like one 0:13:29.100 --> 0:13:30.880 day when I'm rich enough, I'm fucking off to Wagga 0:13:30.900 --> 0:13:33.440 Wagga and never returning. Maybe I'm fucking off to Tamworth. 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.640 I loved it. And the fact is we sold 200 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.760 tickets in Tamworth, which is crazy because I really, I 0:13:39.780 --> 0:13:41.500 wanted to get to a hundred, but I thought we'd struggle. 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:42.600 Is that like the whole population? 0:13:43.020 --> 0:13:45.630 Yeah, basically. I felt like everyone was in the I 0:13:45.650 --> 0:13:47.559 actually feel like there's probably a lot of people in– 0:13:47.580 --> 0:13:49.820 They've got a big population. It's bigger than Orange, I learned. 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:50.599 Is it bigger than Newey? 0:13:51.280 --> 0:14:01.840 No. Let's talk about the show. You saw the show. 0:14:01.860 --> 0:14:03.720 What did you think? Give me thoughts. I mean, no 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:05.040 point giving feedback. It's over. 0:14:06.340 --> 0:14:10.099 Well, what I would have done differently is. No, I 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:11.540 loved it. I think it was great. 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.260 I definitely think it was your most controversial show that 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.910 you've done so far. like in terms of like it 0:14:16.970 --> 0:14:20.810 being political and like jokes that would make people go, um, 0:14:20.870 --> 0:14:22.350 but I think it was great. 0:14:22.470 --> 0:14:26.210 I think the audience like held back from laughing. 0:14:26.930 --> 0:14:29.550 Like everyone knew he was laughing, but I could just 0:14:29.670 --> 0:14:31.930 feel the audience holding back. But I think I just 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:37.820 overthink situations and scenarios. Um, and what's funny is Not 0:14:37.860 --> 0:14:39.960 just with your show, but like any live comedy that 0:14:39.980 --> 0:14:42.380 I've ever seen, like there's so many things that I 0:14:42.460 --> 0:14:43.120 crack up at. 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.500 But as soon as I walk out the door, I've 0:14:44.540 --> 0:14:45.300 forgotten them all. 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:45.640 Yeah. 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:47.640 Remember last time I said the same thing and I 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.920 was like, I wanted to write down all the funniest moments. 0:14:49.940 --> 0:14:50.920 Like I should have had a note. 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.120 I say, get your pens and pads out. 0:14:53.140 --> 0:14:56.540 Yeah. But no, I absolutely loved it. 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:01.170 One note to Souths at Merriweather was fucking boiling in 0:15:01.230 --> 0:15:01.670 that room. 0:15:01.950 --> 0:15:03.150 Like we were sweating. 0:15:03.290 --> 0:15:06.090 Okay. So that's another thing. though, is. 0:15:06.180 --> 0:15:08.470 The room temperature. It was boiling. 0:15:08.590 --> 0:15:08.990 Okay. 0:15:09.010 --> 0:15:11.070 And that was a cool night, but I swear they 0:15:11.090 --> 0:15:12.350 had the heaters cranking. 0:15:12.590 --> 0:15:14.230 We told them not to put the heaters on. 0:15:14.390 --> 0:15:15.950 It was so hot in there. 0:15:16.010 --> 0:15:16.550 Really? 0:15:16.610 --> 0:15:18.190 And we all walked out sweating. 0:15:18.290 --> 0:15:21.450 Oh, see, that's bad because, as I've said, you don't 0:15:21.510 --> 0:15:24.710 want an audience hot. But that was a conversation we had. 0:15:24.730 --> 0:15:25.890 They knew not to put the heater on. 0:15:26.150 --> 0:15:28.250 But that was one thing. It was super fucking hot. 0:15:28.330 --> 0:15:30.290 You walked in there and the air was thick. 0:15:30.630 --> 0:15:31.030 Oh, no. 0:15:31.070 --> 0:15:33.590 Compared to just outside. But it was still fine. 0:15:33.610 --> 0:15:33.670 Um. 0:15:35.420 --> 0:15:37.100 So that may have also been a reason why the 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.080 audience was holding back because they're not, you want a 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:41.640 comedy audience cold. Yeah. 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:43.970 Yeah, because you're all sitting so close to each other 0:15:44.090 --> 0:15:46.850 and laughing and getting hot. That was my only feedback 0:15:46.870 --> 0:15:49.010 for Souths. The drinks were lovely. 0:15:50.090 --> 0:15:53.330 Girls working at the bar were lovely. There's nothing I 0:15:53.370 --> 0:15:55.630 can really say about the show itself. 0:15:55.790 --> 0:15:58.880 You start out, like in terms of like, I can't 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.340 fucking remember half the jokes because it was like. 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.660 Ping pong, ping pong from topic to topic. 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:09.290 I like how you just full send it like straight away. Yeah. 0:16:09.750 --> 0:16:11.710 Like there was no real like you come out and 0:16:11.730 --> 0:16:13.790 you slowly warm it up. Like you just come out 0:16:13.890 --> 0:16:17.230 and go straight in with like a really controversial joke, 0:16:17.270 --> 0:16:17.790 which I think. 0:16:17.710 --> 0:16:19.790 Was good because it just set the tone straight away. 0:16:19.910 --> 0:16:22.479 Yeah. Is that the Anne Frank joke? Yes. Yeah. Or 0:16:22.500 --> 0:16:23.040 the joke. 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:24.200 Anne Frank. 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.710 Oh, yeah. And again, I feel like not as many 0:16:27.770 --> 0:16:30.630 people laughed as I would have thought. And then I 0:16:30.790 --> 0:16:33.310 asked AJ that when we left and he goes, honestly, 0:16:33.330 --> 0:16:34.790 I don't reckon half the people in that room would 0:16:34.830 --> 0:16:36.090
