1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: This is the Fitting and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: I like the giant television just the most powerful force

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: in the world.

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 3: I don't think you really know what a bad day

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 3: is after those two Russell.

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 4: Crowe, no man has ever bitten me.

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, do you know what? He's playing the

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: villain too well at the moment.

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 3: He is a very very scary man in this movie

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: in Nuremberg.

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,639
Speaker 1: Do you know what? You are? Such a bad man,

12
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: Russell Crowe? But for me personally, ekeliber Dick.

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 4: What.

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: I love? I love you, sir? You know that's true.

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: Now now Whipper would like to know Russell, welcome to

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 3: the show. First of all, Russell great as part of

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: the broadcast. I have German ancestors, and my mother used

18
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 3: to say to me every night when I went to bed,

19
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: was ikaliber Dick? Now, Whipper reckons, I'm getting it wrong?

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: But is that correct, Russell? Is that I love you

21
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: in German?

22
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: I am no expert in the language of Germany.

23
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 4: I am merely an actor.

24
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 5: Why did you ask him?

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 4: You know you want the show to start.

26
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 5: Why don't you just ask him?

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 6: I'm just I don't even want to say that sounds

28
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,279
Speaker 6: so wrong, but you're you're very good russeller. Going from

29
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 6: Italian to in this film Germans it much work. I mean,

30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 6: I only learned not long ago in the in the

31
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 6: movie world. Do you have a what do you call it,

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 6: an accent specialist on set?

33
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, you always work with a dialect coach when

34
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: you're doing accents.

35
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 4: So I've been doing that since.

36
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: I think the first time I used the dialect coach

37
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: was La Confidential. But sometimes it works really well for you,

38
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: and sometimes it doesn't because there's a very big difference

39
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: between dialect and act and language, you know, so accent

40
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: and language. So a lot of these films I've been

41
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: doing lately require me to do like a little Russian language,

42
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: a little Italian, as you were saying, And you have

43
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: to be a little bit careful because I used a guy.

44
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 2: He's a great guy and I worked with him a

45
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: number of times, but I used him on a movie

46
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: where I had to speak a language, and he doesn't

47
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: do languages, really only does accents. So I did all

48
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: this work learning this stuff, and then in post production

49
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: I had to go back in and I had to

50
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: change the whole because no Russian could understand what the.

51
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: Hell I was saying. So on this one.

52
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: I said to the production I was like, let me

53
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: not just get a dialect person, I want to get

54
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: a language person. So I met this sort of media figure,

55
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: a girl called Nerva Monrch in Germany in the early

56
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: two thousands. She'd done, you know, when I was doing

57
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: like Beautiful Mind and Gladiator and touring through Germany d

58
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: press quite a bit. So we'd become friends and just

59
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: you know, I hadn't talked her for a decade or so,

60
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: just out of the blue, I called her and said, hey,

61
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: how's her German? Because I knew she was really smart,

62
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: and I knew she wouldn't, you know, hear bullshit and

63
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: not say that's bullshit, you know, brutal with me, you know.

64
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: So I put it in front of her and she

65
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: took it up. So I had a German language person

66
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: with me all the time, every day. So every morning began,

67
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: you know, when you're in makeup, by just going through

68
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: the stuff that we had coming up with in terms

69
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: of the German language and understanding it and just getting

70
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: it to flow properly. But yeah, it's definitely a part

71
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: of the job that you do every time and you

72
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: have some new accent to cover, you work with somebody

73
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: on trying to get it right.

74
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: It's fascinating you play Herman going for anyone who doesn't

75
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: know he was second in command to Adolf Hitler.

76
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: It's this movie has blown my mind mate.

77
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: Congratulations, it's an amazing And when we talk about the

78
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: oscar buzz and all that kind of stuff, and I

79
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: know you don't like to talk about that, but it is.

80
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: This goes for two hours twenty and you are on

81
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: the edge of your seat the whole time.

82
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: The thing with this man, he was so notorious, but there's.

83
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: An element of him that there's a lot likability to

84
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: Herman Going that you had to bring to this Rustle

85
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: which I find really weird because I mean, the atrocities

86
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: that happened, but you get to you actually get to

87
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: like this character. So was that hard to do on

88
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: the set playing such a villain but also trying to

89
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: make it likable.

90
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: Well, we have to sort of take it from a

91
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: perspective of this guy doesn't get into that level of

92
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: power without charm, No, without charisma. He doesn't convince the

93
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: population of Germany to follow what Adolf and himself and

94
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: people like Himmler and Hydrick and Gebels have in mind

95
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: without being able to make people feel at home with

96
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: him and connect to him.

97
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 4: So, you know, the thing that I've been discussing with.

98
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: People is is charisma is one of evil's greatest weapons.

99
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: So it's had to be you know, we have to

100
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: be aware of that in our lives when we're listening

101
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: to public figures talk, and we have to be able

102
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: to disseminate that charm from reality sometimes you know, for

103
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: our own perspectives. But yeah, I mean, human man, what

104
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: an interesting, fascinating life. I mean, he got involved in

105
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 2: some very strange stuff, but you know, I sort of

106
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: love sort of rocking through it for people because it's

107
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: really interesting. So he's a terrible student at school, right

108
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: he's absolutely second or third from the bottom of the class.

109
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: As a punishment, he gets sent to military school, where

110
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: he suddenly becomes top of the class because he's interested now.

111
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: And then he comes out of the military his hobby

112
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: is mountain climbing.

113
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 4: And here's the thing.

114
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: When you're approaching a man to play as a character,

115
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: understanding realizing that he is the sort of men that

116
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: will stand at the bottom of the mountain and he'll

117
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 2: look up and then he'll climb and he won't stop

118
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: till he gets to the top.

119
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 4: So that's a very.

120
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: Interesting part of his personality to realize. Comes out of

121
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: military school straight into the military because the First World

122
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: War has begun. He's an infantry officer, gets injured on

123
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: the battlefield, says to himself, well, well, I don't like the

124
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: look of this.

125
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 4: I like those.

126
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: All.

127
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 5: Have we lost Russell?

128
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 6: We may have frozen on zoom there, cutting out and

129
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 6: then go on, sorry Russell dropped out for a moment, Yeah.

130
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: Right right, And then you know, inculcates himself into that

131
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: Air force, becomes a pilot, finishes the First World War

132
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: with twenty two confirmed air to air kills.

133
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: He is a three times flying ace.

134
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: Gosh.

135
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: Now, so at that point you have the Treaty of

136
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: assign Germany is economically destroyed, and he's looking at this

137
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: pathway because he finishes the First World War as the

138
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: squadron leader of Baron von Richtoff's squadron.

139
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Red Baron squadron.

140
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: Wow.

141
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: So it's the coolest of you know, the sharpest squadron

142
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: that they have in the Air Force. So you know,

143
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: he's looking at that nineteen twenties situation in Germany economically collapsed.

144
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 2: You know, people are you know, as a country, they're

145
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: very downtrodden. And he looks at that and he thinks

146
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: to himself, as a patriot, I believe, what can I

147
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: do to help?

148
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: Now, here's the thing.

149
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: He connects himself to people who can accelerate his ambitions

150
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: the fastest.

151
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: Smart.

152
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: He accepts so many things that wouldn't necessarily be of

153
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: his moral judgment. Variety accepts them to bring people on board,

154
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: so he gets the largest amount of people going forward.

155
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: Here's the problem with Herman. He is such an egotist

156
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: that he thinks he can control the narrative no matter

157
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: what happens. And I think around about nineteen forty two

158
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: he loses control of that narrative. And you know, the

159
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: end result is the end result. If you lie down

160
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: with dogs, you're going to get flees.

161
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 5: Do you know what what I think?

162
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean?

163
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 6: Because the other thing is too when you're learning about

164
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 6: Herman and you're learning that he has a family and everything,

165
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 6: and you talk about that charismatic side, which of course

166
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 6: got him up the ranks to where to the position

167
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 6: he achieved within the Nazi regime.

168
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 5: But the thing was when you then cut to the trial.

169
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 6: And I'm not giving too much away, but obviously evidence

170
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 6: is entered in the trial. I was sitting on the

171
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 6: couch with Lisa and I've seen this footage before. But

172
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 6: I think it's because the character is so well sold

173
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 6: that you can't believe that character had something to do

174
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 6: with the crimes that were committed in their murder and

175
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 6: the genocide of six million Jews. Like it is so

176
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 6: powerful and jarring and so crucial that this story has

177
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 6: continued to be told. Russell, I think that adds to

178
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 6: how powerful this film is.

179
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 4: Well.

180
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: Jamie Vanderbilt is a very clever filmmaker because he sort

181
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: of he puts bait on the ground, you know, he

182
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: sort of invites you into the world of the film.

183
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 2: Some of his attitudes towards things are slightly jaunty, you

184
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: know who. He introduces the character of Rudolph Elis, for example,

185
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: and it's got a slight Jacques Tatiller comedy aspect. Yeah,

186
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: he has a moment when the two mental health professionals

187
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: end up in a fistfight. You know, there's a sort

188
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 2: of a lightness of touch and so he kind of

189
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 2: brings you forward. Then he gets you into the courtroom

190
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: and he locks the door.

191
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you feel it. You can feel it, Russell,

192
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: I think, and I'm throwing it.

193
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: I'd love to hear from you the greatest court scenes

194
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: in cinema that you've had over the years.

195
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: But I think it's right up there, Russell.

196
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 3: And you know when you're steering at Michael Shannon, who's

197
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: an unbelievable actor as.

198
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: Well, is that like, is that going Genoa? Remind him?

199
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: Now?

200
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: Are you going back into the coliseum? Is it like Gladiator?

201
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: Was that a moment like that when you're in the

202
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: courtroom for the Nuremberg Trial and you're looking at Michael Shannon?

203
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 3: Is that what you Is it like getting ready for

204
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: a rabbit O's game? Is it going into battle?

205
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: That so powerful?

206
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: Is that how you approach at Russell?

207
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 4: Think about think about that room.

208
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: Okay, So you've got Ramy Malik, who won the Academy

209
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: Award for playing Freddie Mercury and Bohemian.

210
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 4: RAPSI amazing great actor.

211
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: You've got Michael Shannon, who I've worked with before, and

212
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: you know we have a connection. You know, multiple Oscar

213
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: nominated actor, a very very fine theater actor, in my opinion,

214
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: one of the best working at the moment. Then you've

215
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 2: got Leo Woodhall bringing an absolute star making urn. You

216
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 2: have young New from Land actor Mark O'Brien, you have

217
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: Colin Hanks, who's very fine actor.

218
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 4: You have Richie y Grant. Obviously Academy will be dominated.

219
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: So this room, I've been likening it like you know,

220
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: walking into one of those old Western saloons and every

221
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 2: man in the room as it comes by, and it's

222
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 2: that energy. Every day, every single person is going to

223
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: bring their absolute best, So you better be sharp.

224
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 4: Now.

225
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 2: The thing with Michael, right, we had this moment. There's

226
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 2: a seventh that court thing between me and Michael. It's

227
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: a seventeen pacing. It's seventeen pages a movie, it's not theater,

228
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: that's right. And they had scheduled it to be shot

229
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 2: over four days. And I was looking at that and

230
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: I was wondering about it. So I called Michael. I said,

231
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: what do you think about this? You seen the schedule?

232
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: He goes, yeah, yeah, I was looking at it. He goes,

233
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: They're going to should have for days. There's no natural

234
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: breaks in that, right, Yeah. I don't see any either. Like,

235
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: and the problem you've got with that is you can

236
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: have a very certain type of energy on the set.

237
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: On one day you break four pages into a scene

238
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: and come back the next day, the energy might have changed. Yeah,

239
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 2: and it's sort of like and it's so it's going

240
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: to lose its power, because that's one conversation between these.

241
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: Trying to keep going. You've got to keep going, you know.

242
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 2: I talked to Michael about it. He said he was

243
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: up for it. You know, he's a theater boy, so

244
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: he knows the drill. So we then have to talk

245
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: to the director. And you know, I talked to Jamie

246
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: and I could see actually while I was saying out

247
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: loud that it was something in the back of his

248
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: mind that he really had wanted. He wanted to try,

249
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: you know, but you can't really demand that of people.

250
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: That's a lot, you know, And as he said at

251
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 2: the time, no production company could responsibly schedule that you're

252
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: going to nail seventeen script pages enough when you're normally

253
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: when you're not working at one and a half two

254
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 2: pages or sometimes four pages. Seventeen it's ridiculous, right, And

255
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,599
Speaker 2: so I talked to him about it. He said he

256
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: was up for it, but he said, now he's got

257
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: to go to production. And he said, the problem is

258
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 2: I brought this up before and they said that, you know,

259
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: it's not humanly possible. The thing is, Michael and I

260
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 2: had worked together in a situation on a movie called

261
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: Man of Steel, where he played and I played Joerell,

262
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 2: Superman's father. So it was a great lead in for

263
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 2: a gag when Jamie Vanderbilt says it's not humanly possible,

264
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: live and except but Jamie, Michael and I have.

265
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 5: But I'm Superman's father.

266
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm Superman's dad.

267
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 4: I'll do it extraterrestrial. No, you don't have to worry

268
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 4: about this human stuff anyway.

269
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 2: So yeah, fantastic cast, great energy on set, Incredible to

270
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: be involved in that, and it really is as one

271
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,599
Speaker 2: of these things. You might be listening at home and

272
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: thinking the court case sounds very dry. I'm not sure

273
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: I might wait for streaming. I really really encourage you

274
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: to see this in the It's what the movie theater

275
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 2: has made for a film like this.

276
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: There's moments, there's some unbelievable scenes when Ramie Malick, you

277
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: know it, confronts you as well in the cell and

278
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: realize there's just there's so many great scenes in this

279
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 3: and like I said, you are on the edge of

280
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 3: your seat the whole time.

281
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,440

Speaker 2: You know, she's been a musician for a long long

309
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: time and I just noticed that last year she put

310
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: out a new single and it's probably one of the

311
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: best songs that she's ever done. So, you know, I

312
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,640

313
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,040

314
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: she wants to be.

315
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 4: Part of the show. I know we're really enthusiastic about it.

316
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: So can I get free? They can trimple?

317
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 5: Did the boys get involved?

318
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 4: You don't want to grow?

319
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 5: Did I see one of them up on stage at one?

320
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 5: At one point Russell to.

321
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 4: The yeah man Charlie bro got up on stage with me.

322
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: When we toured.

323
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: We did a big Australian tour in twenty twenty three.

324
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: But then we went to Europe when we did some

325
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: shows in Italy and then in the Czech Republic in

326
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: a place called Calibervari and Charlie got up at those

327
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: shows which was.

328
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 3: What's what's his strength, Charlie voice or is he play

329
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: an instrument?

330
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 4: He's a singer. He's a singer, a really really good singer,

331
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 4: and he's.

332
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: Been working on that for a long time. However, I'm

333
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: not sure if that's something that he's going to be sure.

334
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: He's an excellent songwriter as well. His songs are fantastic,

335
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: but I think he has you know, he's seen what

336
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: this life is and you know he wants at the university.

337
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so.

338
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: Loves the benefits, doesn't like the actual reality.

339
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: Russell.

340
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 6: What's funny that footage you send me to, Like you

341
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 6: get twelve thousand people you're performing in Siena in Italy.

342
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 6: It must be so full off for people for the

343
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 6: Italians to go, hang on a minute, the gladiators now

344
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 6: on stage, Like I was in Italy in July, I think,

345
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 6: and we had this tour guide in Rome and he said,

346
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 6: we have two things, you have two things that we

347
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 6: love and I said, what's that mate?

348
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 5: He said, you're Prime Minister is Italian and Russell Crowe.

349
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 4: You have the real A few years ago they gave

350
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: me the job over there. I am the.

351
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: Bashia daughter, so I'm the ambassador for Rome in the world,

352
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: son of Rome and son you know they actually really

353
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: I was so chaffed when that happened.

354
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: How are you though, young fellow.

355
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 3: We're a bit worried about you, because, you know what,

356
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: you have been working very hard and you just went on.

357
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: Joe Roagan recently and we've heard about your witching hours.

358
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: Have a listen to this.

359
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 4: I'm actually going through a really weird time at the moment.

360
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 4: For the last month.

361
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter where i am in the world, if I'm

362
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: in Spain, if I'm in Australia, if I'm in America.

363
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: I cannot sleep between midnight and five am. It's just

364
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: very odd, and I think it's related to the feeling

365
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 2: that I was expressing before that somewhere in August I

366
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: broke my head.

367
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 4: I'd just done too much, too much, working too hard.

368
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 3: My friend a little bit on the farm. Are you're sleeping?

369
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 3: What's going on?

370
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 4: Well?

371
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that thing I was talking about with Joe

372
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 2: and that was you know, a month ago I did

373
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 2: that show. I only just sold it last week, so I.

374
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: They just sold it.

375
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 4: Solved it solved sleep problem. It took.

376
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: Red Sheeran was it. It's not the punch that you know.

377
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 4: That that's that's a that's a sort of a type

378
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 4: of fix.

379
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: That's not true. So you have to wait till it

380
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: becomes more natural. Really, what I did is I just

381
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 2: gave gave into it. I was like, Okay, well I'm

382
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 2: going to sleep when I'm tired, and I'll hear wake

383
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 2: when I'm not, and sooner or later the clock will

384
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: come around.

385
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 4: So very helpful getting up here. So because the last

386
00:17:58,800 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 4: two nights.

387
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 2: I've had the most beautiful, MAGICALEP so, you know, so

388
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 2: that's good. But I think it was just too many planes,

389
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: too many planes, too many airports.

390
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 5: Too many times.

391
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: You've got to remember that every time I'm on a

392
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 2: film set, it's a journalized day, it's performance. So you're

393
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 2: in that kind of energy and to go through five

394
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: different characters. Because every time you go to different job,

395
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: it's like going to a new school. There's hundreds of

396
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: new people that you meet have to meet, you know,

397
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: the crew people that you know, the camera guys that

398
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: are around you all the time, the other actors, directors,

399
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: producers or whatever, and then you know that one finishes

400
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 2: and you go to the next one. And so there

401
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: was there was no time between them. And this wasn't

402
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: set out as an intended plan schedule. It's just that,

403
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: you know, I work a lot in independent film because

404
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: I enjoy that, and sometimes it can be very vague.

405
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: The financing can be vague. So for an example, you know,

406
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: we're talking about Numberg now, but I signed on to

407
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: Dune Numberg in twenty nineteen and we didn't know twenty

408
00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 2: twenty four. So it never really takes a linear and

409
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 2: organized road. And so this year it's just the things

410
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 2: that I'd agreed to over the past couple of years

411
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: or just started to land, like it was air traffic

412
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: control management.

413
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 6: The other thing is too with Herman Goring, the character

414
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 6: you play in Nuremberg, you'd put on a fair bit

415
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 6: of weight. I mean, that was the role you had

416
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 6: to play, and I was just asking for a mate

417
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 6: because you're looking great.

418
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 5: How did you lose that weight afterwards?

419
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: Well, it's been it's been a very long process and

420
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 2: it's taken a holistic approach. See, the problem was I

421
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 2: was doing the loudest voice when they asked me to

422
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: do Are you kidding me?

423
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 4: Right? So I made the.

424
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: Decision, right, Okay, I'm going to stay here because I'm

425
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: thinking we're going to make this.

426
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 4: Film system months from that way.

427
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to stay in this place because I want

428
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: to play Going at his most pompous. I don't want

429
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: to drop down and wait and play what he looked

430
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: like in reality in the courtroom, because I think that's

431
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: sort of like my joke is, you know, that.

432
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 4: Would make me too handsome and unfair.

433
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 2: I wanted to play him that drug fuel in a

434
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: pomposity extreme And so then I've got to sit there

435
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: for five years waiting for.

436
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 4: Life, and I'm going guys, guys, come on, Russell, stay fat.

437
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 4: So basically it's.

438
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: From the moment we finished on Nuremberg there was just

439
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of changes that took place. One of

440
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: the things that I started with trying to take advantage

441
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: of science, and it was also an introduction from from

442
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan actually to a guy called brigand Bueler a clinic.

443
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 4: In Austin, Texas, coolways too. Well.

444
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 2: So what I've been doing is I've been using stem

445
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: cell ivs to calm down the inflammation in my body,

446
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 2: because you know, Fitz, you probably have the same sort

447
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: of thing. I've got injuries everywhere. I've got like heel fascyatists.

448
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 2: I've got you know, great fourtees and the achilles. I've

449
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: got shin spins, i got bone marrow of demons under

450
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: both knees. I got a disintegrating hip. I've got a

451
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: rib on the upper thoracic departs this list, you know,

452
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 2: two ops on this shoulder arthritis and both risks both shoulders.

453
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 4: And so what I've started to do is use.

454
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: The science and layer these stem cell injections one at

455
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: a time over a period. And by approaching the inflammation first,

456
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 2: it is meant that my workouts are more effective. From

457
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 2: when I sweat, I'm actually losing weightless. But I went

458
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: through a five year period where I was really strong,

459
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: but it didn't matter what I did, I couldn't shift anything.

460
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 2: So you know, I decided, instead of like just going

461
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: with the bullshit diet, starvation or whatever, what.

462
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 4: Can science help me still that smart way? And so

463
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 4: it's starting to work.

464
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: That's great. Before you go.

465
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: I've had so many mates and we get text messages

466
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 3: on this as well. Have you heard from Gosling? And

467
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 3: everyone wants to know The Nice Guys is a bit

468
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 3: of a cult classic now and it's a great movie.

469
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: Is there an opportunity that the boys could be back

470
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 1: at some stage?

471
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: Look, you know, Ryan and I are definitely friends and

472
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 2: we enjoyed show's company. He's dangerous for me on a set.

473
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: He's the only actor I've had a man who can

474
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 2: make me laugh whenever he feels like you know.

475
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: Do you remember that remember the actors?

476
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 3: Do you remember the actor's video that you did with

477
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 3: Gosling and he interrupted.

478
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: And said that he's what was the line that you

479
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 2: know he's an honorary Australian because he spent time in

480
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 2: New Zealand.

481
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 4: You've got to understand, this kid's a freaking comic genius.

482
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Mate is very funny.

483
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,719
Speaker 2: So look, we'd love to work together again. And there

484
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: was a period of time when discussions about Nice Guys two,

485
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: you know, took place because we had this idea. I

486
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: don't even know why this is funny, but it made

487
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 2: us laugh. Nice Guys to Mexican detectives.

488
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: Why is that.

489
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:57,959
Speaker 5: Ridiculous?

490
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 4: Right? Anyway, so we discussed it.

491
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 2: It sort of seems to have gone away, and you know,

492
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 2: with the x amount of time gone by, the longer

493
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: it gets the less likely.

494
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 4: But will we work together again? I really hope so.

495
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: And you know, there is actually a project at the moment,

496
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: which is it potentially could fit in into that because

497
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: the energy on screen together is undeniable.

498
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 4: And then smartint lewis.

499
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, it's a classic Hope and Crosby.

500
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 2: It's a classic combination for some reason.

501
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 6: Hey, it's Sheeran is here in February, coming here in Februe.

502
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 6: I would like to think there's a bit of crossover

503
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 6: there for you.

504
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 4: Will you be around?

505
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm here till the end of that month, and

506
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: then I'm away again for a really long time. But yeah,

507
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: we've already had had chats. We've actually been planning it

508
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: for a couple of years. It's been on it's been

509
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: on his books for a while. But hopefully he gets

510
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: to bring the family up to the farm and spent

511
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 2: some time up here and just relax and everything. Because

512
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: that's how we first met. You know, we had some

513
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 2: friends in common and he was on tour, and he

514
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: was in the middle of that tour where he switched

515
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: from large rooms to arenas suddenly to stadiums in the year.

516
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 2: So his fame was kind of overwhelming him a little

517
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 2: bit at the time, you know, just getting used to it.

518
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 2: So through a friend of his, he reached out and

519
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: just said, can I come and meet you and hang

520
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: out for a couple of days, so, you know, our

521
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 2: first experience together as friends as him coming to the farm.

522
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 3: What if we write a little promotional song, parody song

523
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 3: kind of thing for Maffliqua and we presented it to

524
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 3: you and Andrew, maybe it could be a performance. Finally,

525
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 3: the collaboration that everyone's been asking and crow together.

526
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: In case people don't understand, I was working in Ireland

527
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one forgot about that bit, and I

528
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: heard this story about this this fellow called Phil mcclennan,

529
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 2: who was legitimately an Irish potato farm and how he

530
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 2: used to make poe chein, which is sort of moonshine

531
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 2: for his friends and they'd come around with their old

532
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 2: medicine bottles and fill them up on a Friday and have.

533
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 4: Themselves a good weekend.

534
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 2: And I'd heard this story about how his granddaughter, when

535
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 2: she was a small girl like six or seven or eight,

536
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: would see the fun that her grandfather created. Because obviously

537
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: it's a big bunch of Irish people. They're coming around

538
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: drinking moonshine. Of course there's going to be some songs

539
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 2: and some stories and some laughter, you know. So she

540
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 2: saw that and she said to herself and to her mother,

541
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: actually at the time, one day, when I'm older, I'm

542
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 2: going to legitimize well, granddad does for fun, make it

543
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: into a business. So I heard that story. And there's

544
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: a small town across the river from Derry called Muff,

545
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 2: and that's where the distillery started. And she called the

546
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 2: company the Muff Liquor Company, and so I was amused

547
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 2: by that. So I called Jimmy Carr and Ed Sheeran

548
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 2: and Ronan Keating and an Irish broadcast called Ryan Turberty,

549
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: and we all invested in the company. And it's going

550
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: very well. We're in forty states in America. But the

551
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: thing that you've got to do is a lot. We

552
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: try to stay it, we try to stay out of it,

553
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: and we won a lot of medals. So we're award

554
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 2: winning Mufflicker. Yes, so we try to sort of stay

555
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: back from it a little bit. We discussed it because

556
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: the real part of our lives, but we don't want

557
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: to be the faces of it because the product it

558
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: self is really good.

559
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: Let us talk.

560
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 4: He won seven or eight medals for the potato based gin.

561
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 2: We've won a couple of medals for the potato based vodka,

562
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: and we won two really significant awards for our whiskey.

563
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: We won double gold at the fifty Irish Whiskies and

564
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,239
Speaker 2: we won gold at the for Best Irish Blended at

00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: the World's Yeah.
