<v Speaker 2>morning to a racket going on. It's my fault for

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:23.080
<v Speaker 2>buying like six hundred Lexus for our house. In each

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 2>room they just play music all the time. What else

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.639

<v Speaker 2>coming's going on?

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Take us through, Jimmy, So not that kind of viral tour.

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's it. It's just me bringing the videos that

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 2>you see online to the stage. Now. Look in my videos,

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I talk to myself in multiple different forms, so bringing

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 2>that to the stage not that easy.

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Just on that as well. You do such an unbelievable job.

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 3>You'd almost call them split personalities. How was that whole

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 3>idea and concept born?

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just born out of different situations. You know. I

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>always always been interested in media and a video and like,

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I've just spent ten years on a kid TV show

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.559
<v Speaker 2>and it's always what I've wanted to do so. When

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 2>the pandemic hit in twenty twenty and I had zero work,

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.039
<v Speaker 2>I had to start doing something. So I picked up

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 2>my phone, picked up a camera and started recording myself.

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 2>And then, yeah, a couple of those sort of videos

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:16.320
<v Speaker 2>we see me talking to myself is just how was

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 2>I supposed to get this point across of Instead of

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.680
<v Speaker 2>just doing it one person, you know, and just reading

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 2>it out or whatever that I thought, you create some

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>two characters talking to yourself and try and fool people

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 2>into thinking it was two people by putting on a

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 2>pair of glasses, right, and it's like Superman.

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, so clever. Jimmy. I have to ask you.

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>You're the dad to three boys, right, I'm the mom

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.559
<v Speaker 1>to four girls. How do you make boys?

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 2>How does that work?

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you do it upside down or something? I don't know.

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>My one boy says for me, it's my fault because

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm one of three boys and my older brother has

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>three boys also. So what you need to do is

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 2>you need to partner up with the race, right you go?

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Jimmy, I love your Instagram and look it's I mean,

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.520

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 3>followers at Jimmy Reese underscore what we do love as

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 3>well and what we've all connected with in South Australia.

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.799
<v Speaker 3>Is you taking the absolute piss out of Adelaide and

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 3>South Australia in general. We'll play a little bit here.

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Hey mate, looking getting to Adelaide? Are you okay answer

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:18.359
<v Speaker 2>these questions?

<v Speaker 1>You'll be there in no time? Yeah?

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Thanks? What's the most common blood type in Adelaide? Schurez? Correct?

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>What is the only sentence, I repeat, the only sentence

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 2>an Adelaidian can say to sound sophisticated lance? Chance of

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>a dance? Per chance? Correct? What is the ratio of

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 2>churches to serial killers one to one?

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Correctly?

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>You can't be an Adelaidian without picking up a showback,

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.239
<v Speaker 2>So I've got you one here. There's a footy in there.

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:43.359
<v Speaker 2>There's some ice. Oh sorry, by that nice coffee. There's

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 2>one ticket to the food and wine and dance and

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 2>art and food and wine and more food and more

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>wine and art and dance and definitely more wine festival.

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 2>There's a Heatswood T shirt and some unsolicited wine advice.

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh thanks, mate, heard the coffee is good here I

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>might go straight to the city and get one.

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 3>No one as nailed summed up Adelaide in South Australia

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 3>better than you have in that video.

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 2>It's always good fun. Oh man, just trying to think

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of those stupid questions. I sit here laughing at myself

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 2>and said, it's quite sad. Really. I did get sent though.

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 2>What are they called fruit shocks streach out there? Yes, yeah,

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 2>the guys from Men's with a then sent me like

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>a whole box of them, and I was like, oh,

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 2>this is cool. I tried them, didn't like them.

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh sorry, Oh my god, oh my god.

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>What I also did? This might be a Reeze Jane

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 2>thing as well. The kids thought it was amazing. There

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 2>was like four hundred little chocolate balls that they were

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 2>going to get their hands out. They didn't make them.

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Very controversial. See, I completely know what Jimmy's talking about.

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm from New South Wales originally, I've been here for

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 3>about seventeen years now.

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>But don't do it.

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 3>I suppose the question for the outside as is the

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 3>obsession with what effectively is just a little piece of

0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 3>fruits and chocolate around the outside.

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>It's fruit with chocolate on it.

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>What's wrong with you too?

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 3>What's what's so right with it?

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, you're just a bunch of weirdos, That's all

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>we can say.

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Also, what's hook like behind closed doors? Like massive diva?

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 2>How? Oh yeah, complete diva? Yeah, just like I don't

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 2>even know because he doesn't let me into his dressing room.

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>It's it's not a green room, it's a blue room.

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's that's that gets that gets a bit weird,

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 2>doesn't it.

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Hurt?

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:31.600
