Speaker 1: Thanks for taking the time they have a chat with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pleasure. Yeah, I'm glad to be here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome back to Adelaide. Mate. We feel like you're
Speaker 1: one of us now you've been here that many times before.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And it's a lot of time too, because I tend
Speaker 3: to do long runs. I'm not one of these guys,
Speaker 3: you know, bungee in and out of town just on
Speaker 3: the weekend.
Speaker 2: I'm coming. I'm doing the whole run. Really getting my
Speaker 2: feet wet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the mind field mind am I n D?
Speaker 2: Correct?
Speaker 4: Right? Do you delve into the audience's minds.
Speaker 3: Or well, No, it's really more about there's some philosophy
Speaker 3: in the show about reality and stuff. So we talk
Speaker 3: about how trippy consciousness is and how mysterious it is,
Speaker 3: and we delve into a lot of the things science
Speaker 3: hasn't figured out yet, reminding the audience that there's still
Speaker 3: a lot of mystery in the world.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But then, of course it's all interlaced with jokes, jokes, jokes, jokes, jokes.
Speaker 1: Yes, a lot of the press relays and some of
Speaker 1: those questions, why are we here? Are we alone in
Speaker 1: the universe? Why does it hurt with me? Pay are
Speaker 1: those questions.
Speaker 2: The questions that we all ask on a daily.
Speaker 4: Basis, why are we here? It's a quick that, like
Speaker 4: every now and then, it would just hit me and
Speaker 4: I'm like, why am I here? When we're doing here?
Speaker 4: We're all going to die? Oh, it's a lot, it's
Speaker 4: too much for my mind to comprehend.
Speaker 3: Well, I think a lot of people, and I know
Speaker 3: this is pretty serious, you know for a comedian, but
Speaker 3: a lot of people look at life as like this
Speaker 3: singular event and that's it. So everything counts so much,
Speaker 3: every success or failure is so important. But when you
Speaker 3: start to have a view of this is just one
Speaker 3: small part of a much bigger scene, then you get
Speaker 3: I mean, for me, it's helped me. And I'm strictly agnostic.
Speaker 3: I don't know for sure, but I think there's probably
Speaker 3: a much bigger picture than what we see here and
Speaker 3: on a daily basis, in the physical world we live
Speaker 3: in is only one little aspect of everything.
Speaker 4: Well, see, I don't want to get too intense here,
Speaker 4: but what is the bigger picture? What are we all
Speaker 4: part of?
Speaker 3: Well, in a nutshell, we're often brought up with the
Speaker 3: concept that we are physical beings having a conscious experience
Speaker 3: like your awareness at your consciousness. Yeah, and that's what
Speaker 3: we're kind of taught in school, and that's what mainstre
Speaker 3: and science tells us. But more, more and more now
Speaker 3: science is turning towards the idea that potentially we are
Speaker 3: actually consciousness having a physical experience. So, and that's also
Speaker 3: what's you know, the ancient philosophies have been saying Buddhism
Speaker 3: and Hinduism and stuff, but now science has been matching
Speaker 3: up with it more and more since they explore the
Speaker 3: quantum world. So there's a lot of interesting stuff, too
Speaker 3: much stuff to get into. Actually, if anyone's really curious,
Speaker 3: they should look up a guy called Donald Hoffman on
Speaker 3: YouTube and he talks all about it. He's brilliant and
Speaker 3: he's a he's my guy. But my show doesn't go
Speaker 3: too heavy into that stuff because I'm I Also, I'm
Speaker 3: always aware that I'm a comedian, so it's always about
Speaker 3: getting laughs and stuff. Yeah, and I'm down there at
Speaker 3: the gardens and it's a it's fun, But I gotta admit,
Speaker 3: as a comedian you always have this deep rooted fear
Speaker 3: that at best you're just a glorified clown. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: I'll be honest, working in a big circus tent ain't
Speaker 3: helping at all.
Speaker 2: But we're having a great time.
Speaker 3: The crowds are awesome, and the show is it's it's
Speaker 3: really honestly.
Speaker 2: It sort of has everything.
Speaker 3: So it has this sort of like philosophical stuff that
Speaker 3: we got into, but it has also a ridiculous section
Speaker 3: about you know, well farts. Yes, it's got music, it's
Speaker 3: got observational stuff, it's got personal stuff, sex stuff.
Speaker 2: It's just I packed a lot into an hour.
Speaker 4: I don't know how much he followed when you were
Speaker 4: talking about us having you know, conscious beings having a
Speaker 4: physical experience, but god, he perked up when you said
Speaker 4: there's sex in it and there's farts in it.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, you know, there's such there's such a wide
Speaker 3: audience for that kind of stuff because it's all relatable stuff.
Speaker 3: You know, even people that don't like farts still have
Speaker 3: to deal with that. So when I explore, like, why
Speaker 3: does it, why does that even exist? Because that's one
Speaker 3: of the mysteries. Science doesn't really know why we do that.
Speaker 3: So I'll go into several theories in the show. And
Speaker 3: that's a section that challenges some but others they just
Speaker 3: they're just they love it. So I'm doing what i
Speaker 3: want to do at this point, I'm at the age
Speaker 3: right on care. I'm going to talk about what I
Speaker 3: want to talk about, and I'm having a blast. And
Speaker 3: people said, tell people why they shouldn't miss this show. Well,
Speaker 3: the vast portion of humanity is going to miss this show. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so you know, if you want to go ahead with them,
Speaker 3: be one of the gang there, come see it there.
Speaker 2: It's a blast.
Speaker 4: Well, you talk about not caring. And we had Tom
Speaker 4: Gleason in yesterday and we read to him an email
Speaker 4: that was sent to the ABC complaining about his show
Speaker 4: Hard Quiz, which is probably one of the highest writing
Speaker 4: shows on Australian television. Anyway, I was having a troll
Speaker 4: through your Twitter and I saw a message from someone
Speaker 4: called Eleanor and she said, I just watched five minutes
Speaker 4: of your hateful Aussie show on TV and didn't like
Speaker 4: anything about it, nothing but typical celebrity trump bashing. Get
Speaker 4: to know your president and respect what he's doing for
Speaker 4: your country and you might be a nicer person for it.
Speaker 4: And a mast day moron. I just like to give
Speaker 4: people the right of reply in a safe space where
Speaker 4: you can tell eleanor what you really think.
Speaker 3: And feels like I don't even know what she's talking
Speaker 3: about because I deliberately never really spend any time talking
Speaker 3: about Trump because I didn't I thought. And that was
Speaker 3: the same with George W. Bush, former president, a former
Speaker 3: former president, because there are it's already a joke. There's
Speaker 3: nothing more to say. I mean, it's it's sad, and
Speaker 3: it's upsetting that someone like that gets gets into the
Speaker 3: White House. I mean, there's no perfect politicians. Bind's certainly
Speaker 3: not perfect, but he's not, you know, and I don't
Speaker 3: know anyone want to get into it. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: so I don't even know what she's talking about. So
Speaker 3: I feel like maybe that's a bot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the thing about the internet. Like and
Speaker 4: also people get other people confused.
Speaker 3: But was interesting, So she's and I do yoga. It's
Speaker 3: just like, but there there is a there's a section
Speaker 3: where the well being community did this. This self help
Speaker 3: and well being community gets to a point where they
Speaker 3: inter lock with the far right in terms of they
Speaker 3: start to both believe the same conspiracies and uh, you know,
Speaker 3: one obviously examples anti vacs and I'm not here to
Speaker 3: judge anyone what they believe, like, do your thing, and
Speaker 3: I think you should choose, get to choose what you
Speaker 3: put into your body and all that. But there are
Speaker 3: people that are like yoga, people are super anti vacks.
Speaker 3: But then you know, just on the far right there's
Speaker 3: super anti vacks, and there's other areas where they intercede.
Speaker 3: So it almost feels it goes full circle. So if
Speaker 3: you go far enough left, you come right around the
Speaker 3: far right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, send these people sitting on the assids. Oh, I
Speaker 1: just like myself who super anti yoga.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, fair enough, I mean yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yoga is for people listening that don't know, because I'm
Speaker 3: an expert. Yoga is a very spirititual practice which began
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles over seven years ago, and now it's
Speaker 3: kind of popular all over the world. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm only against it because it's bloody hard. Yeah it hurts.
Speaker 4: I love I can do it. I love hot yogat
Speaker 4: and I love hot pilarates. I love it. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: because do you know why?
Speaker 2: How hard is it in there?
Speaker 4: So forty degrees?
Speaker 3: Have you heard about the new yoga where they put
Speaker 3: the temperature down below zero? No, you haven't heard about
Speaker 3: frozen yogat.
Speaker 4: No, Okay, I've heard frozen yoga, but have you done it?
Speaker 3: No, listen, let's just cut that part out of the interview.
Speaker 3: You guys aren't on my level. You missed like two
Speaker 3: or three jokes. She looked at me like it really
Speaker 3: started in la. I know you have a lot on
Speaker 3: your mind.
Speaker 4: I know, I know.
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry, Age, And every year that you turn up,
Speaker 1: absolutely all this shows set out as I should. And
Speaker 1: we love having you here and thank you so much
Speaker 1: for coming and have a chat with us.
Speaker 3: Well my pleasure. Can I correct you on one thing? Yeah,
Speaker 3: they don't all sell out. If they did, I wouldn't
Speaker 3: be here. But we want people to come down and uh,
Speaker 3: you know, I put a lot of work into it
Speaker 3: and we are having a great time.
Speaker 2: So if you show up, you will join us in
Speaker 2: that
