00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: find you?

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 3: Well, I'm in London and I'm at home, so yeah,

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 3: it's dark, it's the evening.

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 4: And the dips of winter are presumer as well.

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 3: How has that been, Yeah, yeah, it is the depth

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 3: of winter, and there are storms. We keep getting storms.

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: We didn't used to have storms with names, and now

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 3: we've had three already in about a month. Well, this

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 3: one's called Chandra. I mean, they're really spreading the names

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 3: around now. Scary. They're scary the storms. But we're just

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 3: getting wind and rain where I live. But some people

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 3: on the coast are in a fair old go of it. Yea.

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: We get the tropical cyclones, the x tropical cyclones here

19
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: in New Zealand, and I like the fact that they've

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: got names. But recently, we just had an event the

21
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 2: other day that was nameless, and there's something terrifying about

22
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: the nameless event. And this nameless event was worse than

23
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: the ex tropical cyclones.

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 4: It's cowardly from these tropical cyclones not to you know,

25
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: at least step forward and announce themselves and give us

26
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 4: a name that we can blame them on.

27
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I could do. I think they should up

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: the names up. The anti call them things like megadon,

29
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: so you can call it.

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 5: They called it Luise or something. It doesn't feel so

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 5: he's just blown the trees.

32
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: You're coming down to New Zealand, Sown. What will we

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: expect from your show? Is it stand up comedy or

34
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: is it stories about your.

35
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 3: Out, straight out stand up? It's going really well the show.

36
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: I can happily plug myself safe in the knowledge. I've

37
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: toured the UK and Australia and the response has been good.

38
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: It's called thinkerhead, which is what I'm having to do

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 3: as I approached sixty, and the byeline is I'm spending

40
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: more time in the pharmacy than the gym. That's really

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: where we are. So yeah, it's the first stand up

42
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: to have done for ten years. I don't quite know

43
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: how it took that long, but it's been really good fun.

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 5: It's been great getting back on the stage.

45
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 4: I find as I get older, Alan I might mentally

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 4: I stayed the same age. I still think I'm sort

47
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 4: of somewhere in the twenty three twenty four region. Is

48
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 4: that one of the themes in your show how old

49
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 4: do you feel versus how old you are?

50
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 5: Oh? Well, yeah, exactly, I mean how old do you

51
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 5: think you are? Yeah?

52
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: I mean really what you think you're doing, and then

53
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: compared to what you're actually like, how long it takes you,

54
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: for example, to get in and out of.

55
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 5: A chair, what to put on a sock? These things

56
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 5: have slowed. Right, that's a great note. I opening a

57
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 5: bottle of wine, so explain that.

58
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, here we are.

59
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, exec. I mean, I'm not quite as

60
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: old as you, but I'm on the way. I'm between

61
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: and I and you, and I'm finding the standing up.

62
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: I'm almost needing to put a cheer and I don't

63
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: eve enough room in my bom, but I need to

64
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: put a cheer in my bathroom. To put on my

65
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 2: clothes now, particularly in the morning, early morning socks I'm

66
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: finding very very difficult on one leg.

67
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: Well, I found that any room that I go in

68
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: now I'm immediately sussing out the seating arrangements as soon

69
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: as I get in a room. If I go in

70
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: a room, there isn't a chair, I'm plotting to leave

71
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: staying here? Why not where to sit? I ys a bank?

72
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm I'm thirty four, and it's starting to

73
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 4: happen for me. I started making noises as I sat

74
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 4: down and got out of chairs as a joke. But

75
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: I can't tell any more whether that's still a joke

76
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 4: or whether I'm actually genuinely making those noises.

77
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 6: Beanbags.

78
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: Need to turn that around. Yeah, no, turn that around,

79
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: my friend. At your time of life.

80
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: That's the first stage. I reckon you start grunting. That's

81
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: the first thing is you start grunting when you sit down,

82
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: and then you start.

83
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: Too I do I name body parts as I'm skating

84
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: up and going down. I'll say things like, oh please, back, shoulder?

85
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: For whose benefit? I've got no idea. I haven't got

86
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: a physio with me on call ellen.

87
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 6: Are you still a piscatarian?

88
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 5: That's what they call me. I mean, it's not something

89
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 5: I chose. Yes, I don't eat me.

90
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 3: I haven't eaten meat since nineteen eighty six, but I

91
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: do still indulge in the seafood from time to time,

92
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,119
Speaker 3: especially in restaurants.

93
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: Okay, because I'm not sure you haven't been to New

94
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: Zealand for a week while. But kim Ijuana is the

95
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: mighty word for food from the sea, and New Zealand

96
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: full of kimeuana signage, and you could almost do yourself

97
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: for full kime ijuana trip around New Zealand.

98
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 5: I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind that at all.

99
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: The only thing you got to watch out for is

100
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 4: gout at that point, because you get stuck into too

101
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: much of the kaimwana and all of a sudden the

102
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: ankles lock up.

103
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 2: That's been my experience.

104
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 6: Really, you've got a heuric acid problem, Ellen.

105
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 5: I've got a what problem?

106
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 6: Your problem with uric acid?

107
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: That scout the build up of uric acid?

108
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 5: I don't think so well. I mean, I might have

109
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 5: you make me think I'm going to google it.

110
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: You'll find out if once you get over here and

111
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: get stuck into the seafood. I see that you've got

112
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 4: about one, two, three for about ten shows lined up.

113
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: It's a pretty extensive tour of New Zealand. You've been

114
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: here before. I presume what are you looking for to

115
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 4: much about coming to New Zealand.

116
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: I've been here to New Zealand many times, and this

117
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: is a kind of a this is a working vacation.

118
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: I've got a couple of days off, but yeah, I'm

119
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: whizzing around in two weeks doing ten or nine cities

120
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: and ten shows.

121
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 5: So while I'm there, I.

122
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 3: Think I'm right saying that the International Film Festival's on,

123
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: and I know there is going to be a bit winterry,

124
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: so I might be seeking out some of the excellent programming.

125
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 3: I was there ten years ago or so and it

126
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: was on and it was great, So I do a

127
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 3: bit of that. I might try and take in a

128
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: little bit of rugby league if I can find some,

129
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: and then the rest of the time I'll be gigging.

130
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: Jerry and Mania joined the complay the Hidaky Breakfast discussion

131
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: group on Facebook. For more Jerry and Mania, catch the

132
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: radio show from six twelenteen weekdays, The Hidarcky Breakfast.

133
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: I'm just having a lock back on of your career

134
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: and I've followed it closely over the years, but when

135
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: when it's thritten down, it's crazy. It's so extensive. I mean,

136
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: the fact that you were doing Jonathan Creek for it

137
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: says in nineteen years.

138
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I was always We started in nineteen ninety

139
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: six shooting it and the last one was shot in

140
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, so it was twenty years. Really, it's hard

141
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 3: to believe. It wasn't every year. We had a gap

142
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: of about five years in the middle, and then we reconvened.

143
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: But yes, it was a I played that role for

144
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 3: a long time.

145
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 6: That's a great gig.

146
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: And then QI has been a great gig for you

147
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: because Stan tell me if I'm wrong, But have you

148
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: been on every show? Because obviously Stephen Fry was on

149
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: at the beginning when you're on and then the host change,

150
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: But have you been on the whole time?

151
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: I've been on the whole time. I was on a pilot. Yeah,

152
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: Stephen and I did thirteen years together and it was

153
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: a joy. It was an absolute joy. And now we

154
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 3: do a different letter of the alphabet every year, and

155
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: we'ved up to W and I just keep in my

156
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: head down trying to get to Z.

157
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,400

Speaker 3: we're still in touch. And I'm turning sixty soon. I'm

194

Speaker 3: said he's going to come, so I mean I might

196
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 3: even see him in the flesh, I hope.

197
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: So are you a fan of Brenda Mccallaumu's coach. Are

198
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: you a bearsball fan as a cricket fan.

199
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: Well, yes and no. I mean it's like anything in

200
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: sport when it works. Yeah, but well I'm not a

201
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 3: fan of with cricket is just throwing your wicket away.

202
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: You can only be out once. That seems to have

203
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 3: passed some of them by and I and I absolutely

204
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: hate that. I mean I hate that. I watch my

205
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 3: ten year old playing and it drives you mad when

206
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: someone gets run out for no reason and they're ten.

207
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 3: So yes and no, I would say I haven't said

208
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: that Ingham played had a fantastic, massive total in a

209
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: One day International against Sri Lanka with hundreds Joe Rue

210
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: and Harry Brooke and.

211
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 5: That's a little bit of bass ball. But the Ashes

212
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 5: was a fiasco. So you know it's a mixture, isn't it.

213
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: He us talking to a friend of mine who's involved

214
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: in it, and he was saying that bears ball as

215
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: fantastic against pretty much every side in the world other

216
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: than Australia. So basically, your bears ball's going to get

217
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: you some really good results against pretty much every other

218
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: team and be entertaining at the same time, but it

219
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: possibly won't win you're the Ashes.

220
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe I don't really know why though.

221
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: I mean, we had a great series England against India

222
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 3: back in our summer, just gone really amazing series. All

223
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 3: the games went to five days, it finished two to

224
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: two over five tests. Really it was very exciting and

225
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: all round and both teams were in it and we

226
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: thought that's what the Ashes would be like. But they

227
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 3: appeared to do no preparation and they just went in

228
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 3: half cooked and Australia really just seemed to play sort

229
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: of basic test cricket, doing all the things that have

230
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 3: been done for decades.

231
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 4: So you don't believe Brenda McCallum when he says that

232
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 4: they were over prepared.

233
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 3: If anything, I think you need to have a couple

234
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: of practice matches in the conditions, right, I mean, it's

235
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: that's this. People have been doing this for a long time,

236
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: this test cricket. It's not a recent invention. So yeah,

237
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: it was awful And the worst thing for me was

238
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: I I was over there, and I was in Australia,

239
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: and I had tickets for day three in Melbourne. Leg

240
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: took the whole family and it was over in two days,

241
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 3: and I took my ten year old on a tour

242
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 3: of the mcg and every person on the tour I

243
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 3: took its for the third day. Oh yeah, it was

244
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 3: a bit of a shame, A bit of a shame.

245
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: I was reading yesterday that one stage, amongst the other

246
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: millions and millions of things that you've done in your life, Ellen,

247
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,640

248
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 5: Oh yes, I did know.

249
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: That was on the QI and it was for pulling

250
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: the most Christmas crackers in I think it was a minute.

251
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 5: What are we talking about. I pulled a lot of

252
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 5: crackers three hundred and eighty six.

253
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 3: No, it was about thirty five or I mean, it

254
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 3: really does depend how quickly you can get your hands

255
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: on the next cracker.

256
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 5: And as there's so many things in life, I.

257
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: See Joel Corry, he has overtaken your record. He achieved Yeah,
