Speaker 1: This is the Fitting In with Kate Richie podcast. Matt

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: luc is your character, How are you buddy?

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 2: That was funny, so exciting because lame Is the Arena

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: tour is coming to Sydney. I see see. You know

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 2: what when I heard about your role too, I thought,

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: what a perfect fit. So you're the master of the house.

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: You run a brothel, Is that right, Matt?

8
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? And I.

9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 3: Have to avoid making some jake make jokes and then

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 3: people take them literally.

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: And then you read headlines about yourself around the world.

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 3: So I play a character who actually but he runs

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: a kind of a disreputable tavern. Let's say I can

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 3: and and Marina and me we play the kind of

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 3: comic relief in the show because I don't know if

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: you've ever seen lamis are but.

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Is really heavy. Yes, it is. Everyone. It's like squid Game,

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: like everyone.

19
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: Is dying, like when you were younger, and you talk

20
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: about working together with other great people. What I love

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: too is when Lamey has happened and Russell Crowe and

22
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: Hugh Jackman involved. We were talking to Hugh Jackman about

23
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: when you both found out you were doing the film together,

24
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: and I think Russell called Hugh and said, get over

25
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: to my place. We're drinking from ten am and we'll

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: sing a couple of songs as well. So it was

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: very much similar minds getting involved to do a great job.

28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: When your friends with someone like Sasha Baron Cohen for

29
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: such a long time, it must be really unique for

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: one you to be playing a role that he's played,

31
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: but to sit down with a like minded friend that

32
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: you can trust and brainstorm ideas that it must be

33
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: so exciting to do well.

34
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 3: It's great because I always say to Sasha, I knew

35
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: you before you were funny, and I'll know you after

36
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: your funny awesome.

37
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: As an eight year old, was he funny?

38
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: He was really funny. Yeah, he was funny. I didn't

39
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: know him that well.

40
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: He was in my older brother's class, and you know,

41
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: if you've got a younger sibling, you don't really want

42
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: to spend much time with him.

43
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: No, so see him around the school.

44
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: But when I started doing stand up comedy when I

45
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: was eighteen, Sasha was maybe twenty twenty one, yeah, and

46
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: he was on the same comedy circuit, so occasionally.

47
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: I would play a there and stuff. So that's when

48
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: we sort of got to know each other.

49
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: Can we move on to we move on to your

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: mate who was in the studio not long ago, and

51
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: he was a bit inappropriate. I've got to say, Matt

52
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: Lucas you mate David Williams. Yes, he can write books,

53
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: he can be a bit funny, but he can also

54
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: be inappropriate and I think that's why you guys have

55
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: also bonded over the years. Look, I love the idea

56
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: of the podcast that you've got and also asked me anything.

57
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how filthy that gets. Hopefully you try

58
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: and keep it semi professional. Because when he came into

59
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: the studio last time, and I'll allowed him here because

60
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: I know he's done an edited version of this on

61
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: I think possibly the BBC, but he was talking about

62
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: Liam Gallagher and haven't listened to the story.

63
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: He told us Liam is a bit scary and I mean,

64
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 4: is this it's going to be a bit rude.

65
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: It's okay, the option of turning it on. First time I.

66
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: Met him, he cornered me in a toily, went hell o,

67
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: mister Sockey dick give mister keep mister soky to give

68
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 4: mister Dickie Soki. I was like what, I was terrified anyway,

69
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 4: the name is stuck.

70
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: And were you there that night Matt Lucas.

71
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: I wasn't there that night, but I was working with

72
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: him the next day and he recounted the story.

73
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: It's just like thirty years ago or more.

74
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: And then the great news is I think we have

75
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: a few more freedoms here in Australia as a broadcast.

76
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: But we obviously then took it further and put it

77
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: into a song.

78
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 5: Mister Bob double, Mister Sockey did give mister keeps Sister

79
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 5: Sockey did give mister keep. Mister Sucky did give mister

80
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 5: Doggy so keep, Miss Sister Sockey give mister keep, mister Sockey.

81
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes things just fall into place, you know what I mean.

82
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Gives you do know I'm here to talk about the

83
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:59,480

00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: Have as My next question was about the size of

85
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: the week you've had. You're out with Sasha Baron Cohen

86
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: last nighter than you were celebrating Elton john seventy eighth birthday.

87
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,680

Speaker 3: Jason Momo or the Big Unit.

92

Speaker 2: self indulgent, tell me if you think you heard me

98
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: warming up before the interview started, I did a demo

99

Speaker 1: La Mayre, you wear a very different chain.

103
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: Before you say another word, before you gave me slave again,

104
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: listen to me.

105
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: There is something I must do. I like that one

106
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: this woman leaves behind a suffering child. There is none

107

Speaker 1: but me who can intercede. Mercy's name. Three days are

Speaker 1: all I need. Return. I pledge my word, then our return.

109
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: You must take me mad. I've hunted you across the years.

110
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: Men like you can never change a man such as you.

111
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: Believe me, which men, there is a duty. Can I

112
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: be thanks before I get your feedback? Matt Locus. I

113
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: must point out that we had the nov Christmas party

114
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: the night before. It was a bit of a light

115
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: interview that came through what do you think?

116
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: I was beautiful? So was that you? And Hugh Jackson.

117
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: Yes, so that you can tell which one Hugh Jackman is,

118
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to.

119
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: Say one of you is really good.

120
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: That was me.

121
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: I don't know because I didn't tell who was here.

122
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: Cameron Macintosh, the producer of and he'll probably laugh the room.

123
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: But I've been thinking for a long time that they

124
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: should do a sing along night where everybody they just

125
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: do the normal show. Everybody is allowed to sing along

126
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 3: in London because people know and they can flash up

127
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: the words and anybody can sing along because so many

128
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 3: people know the show. And I think it's one of

129
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: those shows you see people from the stage when you

130
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: look out and you're singing one day more and you

131
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: can see all the audience singing the words.

132
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: What a fantastic idea. I think sing along a sing

133
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 1: along a miss.

134
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,880
