This is my fifth year, 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.640 so I think maybe. 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.000 And so you're an engineer? 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.000 Yeah yeah, yeah, by what sort? Mechanical? But I don't 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.560 like it. You know, what did you do? 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:23.920 You still work as an engineer? 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:29.320 Yes? You know, I am not big and famous like 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:33.240 you guys. Sure sure, I don't know to mention. I 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.880 just came from Dave's house and man, one story Maine, 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.080 I would like that's the type of house I would 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:40.680 like to rob. 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.680 So you're still working as an engineer. 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.880 Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's really hard. I need to 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.560 find a part time made yeah yeah yeah yeah, because 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.400 I find like you just don't have enough time, like. 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.839 Well, you be exhausted engineering. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:55.120 Yeah. 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.359 The worst thing is like you're using your your peak 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.640 brain powerful stuff that doesn't matter. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.120 Do you work for a big company or the government or. 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:03.760 Now it's a smaller company. 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.000 Okay, do they know you do comedy? 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:08.200 Oh yeah, it's not. 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.600 Some think he's meant to be funny, this blake. He 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.040 does comedy again with Brad O'Neill on Saturday Night. 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:19.320 I know. 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:21.840 I think the key is when you have a job, 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:23.920 you don't tell them you do comedy. 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.920 Well, they'll find out they will doing this podcast, and 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.640 then they turn up to your gig. Oh man, but 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.480 you're funny. So if they turn up. 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.600 I found when I started having a job, and when 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.800 I had jobs, telling them when I was a comedian 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.440 excused a lot of things I did badly. 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.360 Yeah, yeah, true. And also, Henry, you know what, it's 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.480 good to have a job to motivate you to become 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.080 a comedian more and more, because you know, you you 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.320 that's good that you've had a job, because there's nothing worse. 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.840 And there's quite a few examples in the comedy industry 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.120 of someone who goes straight into comedy and never worked 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:58.800 in a ship job. And your job's not even ship. 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.920 It's a profession engineering, but engineering is full on. 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.080 Though yeah, it's too much. That takes a lot of 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:08.480 responsibility responsibility. And the problem is when you do comedy 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.360 as well, you do it poorly. You do engineering poorly 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.080 because you just don't hang on. 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:14.880 There's a building on a collapse because of. 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:19.160 Your I'm a mechanical so this car. 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.560 Yeah, mechanical, mechanical. 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.240 Did you have a job when you were Oh yeah, yeah, 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:24.720 what did you do? 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.040 Yeah, this podcast is not about me. 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:27.640 No. 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.640 I I studied to be a teacher, and then I 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.920 worked for the Red Cross as a field Officely it 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.040 was like public education job, you know, giving to And 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:37.880 then I. 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:38.079 Sold some hot dogs. 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:39.760 Yeah, there was a part time job in the hot 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.400 dog shop.

I can't cope with his face 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.240 and his accent together. 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.120 And it's kind of annoying having to start a gig, 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.600 like just waste some time talking about that. 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.280 Yeah, I've got a key accident and your key exit 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:09.200 is not even that strong. 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.520 Yeah it's not that strong.

Was going 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:46.359 to get taxes on my super. 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.520 Is three hundred grand. We had a great conversation in 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.480 the radio Stuo once with Nathan Buckley. He was a 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.960 former Collingwood captain and coach, right, and he said that 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.440 Husy Gates, I reckon, are you earn more money than 0:19:55.480 --> 0:20:02.680 you Nathan? And Nathan goes a million dollars in sponsorship alone. Okay, 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:07.280 you win more on anyway? Well, no, you can do 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:09.560 good money in comedy. 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:11.879 That would be the dream. 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:16.200 You've got everything going for you. 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:19.120 Yes, okay, oh yes. 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.760 Yeah you got And also you've got diversity. They love 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.680 a bit of diversity. Now try being a fat white 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.880 guy that me and Oaks. Yeah fine in the nineties. 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.960 Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, your time is done. 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:39.080 Henry, mate, we'll be we'll be supporting you. Give the 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.320 next Aaron Chen and we'll be Can we drink? Henry 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:48.040 will take the phone call Ronnie, Ronnie, we used to 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:53.479 support us, you know, Ronnie Chang. Yeah, that's of course. 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:54.880 How did they get so far? 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:57.639 Well, Aaron and Ronni are both very funny for a start, 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:02.000 they're both nice people, and right, I don't know about Amber. 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:03.920 Ronnie is very good at business. I gotta say, oh. 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:07.200 Yeah, he a business sense, networking all yeah. 0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:10.359 And he was. It was just a combination of not 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:13.160 lack but timing. I reckon with Ronnie, don't you reckon 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:13.960 Brad Ronnie. 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:15.840 I don't know about Aaron. I don't know Aaron very well, 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.560 but I know Ronnie always had a plan as well. 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:23.800 Yeah, he's a lawyer, so he's not stupid. Timing in 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.440 terms of when he turned up so not the timing 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:28.199 of his jokes. It's like the timing of when he 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.480 turned up on the scene in the world, because we 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.560 Australia had never really had an angry Asian comic like he. 0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:37.560 You know, we had Asian comics like Arndau Asian Australians, 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.359 but they were kind of friendly and happy. You know, 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:42.879 where's Ronnie's like? You know, he used to say, what 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:44.560 is it with your white people? I'm gonna do his 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:47.280 voice with your shoes in the house and your potatoes. 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:54.159 You disgusted me. So once once he started talking like 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:56.960 that and people got onto that and people like other 0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:58.920 Asian people. Sorry, I went, oh, this guy is saying 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:01.520 exactly what I think. Yeah, he just and he just 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:05.200 he did the Comedy Festival. It's not similar to Hugheye, 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:07.800 what happened with him? He did like the gala, He 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:09.800 did a spot that took off. It just got word 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:11.840 of mouth and he moved eventually did the big Room 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:14.440 in the town Hall and then he got famous via 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:16.679 that and then I didn't ever know. I seen him 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:19.399 on a plane, just on a video. Yeah, and then 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:21.720 just said did a gig with him and he said, 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:23.320 I love this guy. And that's what happened. 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:23.960 Man. 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:26.520 The gala is like so cool, a like have you 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:28.840 done the Girl? I was able to do the New 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.800 Zealand one this year, but haven't done the Melbourne one. 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:33.440 But it really helps shift tickets. 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:36.159 Yeah, but not it used to be massive, but not 0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:38.320 so much anymore, I think. But if you get your 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.560 clip online, there's always someone that takes off. I reckon. Yeah, 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:45.240 every year happened happened to Tommy Little too? Actually, oh 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:48.760 he took off from the gala. Yeah, it's just like 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:54.920 six times and never took off at least I did it. 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:59.480 You'll be right, I reckon, Yeah, Yeah, I'm just trying 0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:01.360 to be funny, like I think, just. 0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:02.280 Keep doing gigs. 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:04.720 Yeah, because you know how people like like they like 0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:06.119 focus on, like, so what. 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.840 Are we going to Sydney. The fuck go on? 0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:11.399 Like people focus on socials and all the other stuff, 0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:13.960 But I feel like being funny is going to give 0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:17.240 you everything you need for everything that you deserve. 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:19.520 Me that said, you should put clips online? Do you 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:20.800 do that all? Yeah? 0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:22.080 Sometimes I need to do it more. 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:23.560 Everyone needs to do it more. 0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:27.119 Yeah, but I try to. But yeah, growing socials is 0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:29.360 really hard. I respect people who can do. 0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:30.560 It, so do I. 0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:31.120 Yeah? 0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:35.040 We all do, don't we brain? We all want to 0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:38.360 do it, but we're not. Again, that's luck and persistence. 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.560 I reckon. You just got to keep doing it. 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:42.639 Can I ask? When did you peak? 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:43.840 When did I peak? 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:44.800 Yeah? 0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:48.680 Next week? When did I peak? I never really peaked, 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:52.439 did I brain? Did I? Oh? Two thousand's? 0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:53.440 Two thousands? 0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:57.000 Well, yeah, I don't know. I don't tell you that. 0:23:57.000 --> 0:24:00.719 You're a lot in the When was that years ago? 0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:03.679 Did pick some specs a lot? And then agony articles 0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:06.640 and all that sort of stuff? I was on the radio? Yeah, 0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:07.800 maybe ten years ago? 0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:11.359 And how long does a comedian peak for? On the 0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:13.000 look it? 0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:19.120 The thing is to try and maintain some kind of profile. Yeah, 0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:21.679 isn't a brad you just got a it's a you 0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:23.440 know what, it's like a black guard that no one 0:24:23.480 --> 0:24:26.280 talks about. Yeah, but like look at Hughesy. So he 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:28.480 you know, he's been back on TV and now he's 0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:31.399 drawing big crowds again. But he dropped off for a 0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:32.600 little bit probably, you know. 0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:35.159 What I mean, Yeah, because he was concentrating on radio 0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:38.040 or whatever. But he's going to back to what he 0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:40.840 really likes. But he's kind of stayed up there. And 0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:45.159 you know, a lot lots Mooney, Kenny Flanagan, you know, 0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.960 Kyle Baron's only just got to like, you know, fart 0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:52.639 and people selling million digts. 0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:56.720 Well, in a way, I started got a profile when 0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:59.879 it was there were more TV shows and there was 0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:02.480 only TV. There was no Internet. So when I was 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:04.359 doing Fix and Specs and you know I went on 0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:09.040 a sixty nine times, that's a lot, and that there 0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:11.720 was no internet, there were no other distractions. Now, you 0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:13.680 know there's guys like Luke Kidgel and those guys that 0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:17.560 just do TikTok and Insta whatever clips and they're much 0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:18.640 bigger than any of us. 0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:22.000 They to theaters, but you kind of see like the 0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:24.040 like where you should put your time. 0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:26.879 Yeah, well that's it, But you're right, you should just 0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:29.960 put it into stand up, but you should also try 0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:31.639 and get it. I mean, it's no point being the 0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:34.040 best comic but no one knows about it. Yeah, so 0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:36.240 you've got to let people know that you're funny, you know, 0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:40.560 and that's that's all social media now unfortunately. 0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:43.520 But also, like you know, when you watch social media, 0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:45.040 you don't have to be that funny. 0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:48.359 Oh I know, like yeah, but you know what happens 0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:50.560 there is that they'll get an audience and people will 0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:52.720 come the first year, but they won't come back the 0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:55.280 second year. I reckon, because if you're not funny when 0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:58.480 they turn up, then then they're not going to come back. 0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:00.680 They'll move on to someone else because there's always someone 0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:01.479 new on the internet. 0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:05.240 Also, how hard is it to retine audience year to year. 0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:08.080 Yeah, that's a very good question. It just goes up 0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:11.600 and down. I reckon, because I reckon when people are 0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:14.880 so famous, they just get people coming along just because 0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:20.240 they're out of curiosity. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:23.800 So I think part of it too is that if 0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:27.400 you want to stay up there, it's people convincing other 0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:30.280 people to come and see because you're going to have 0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:34.440 be rustled on die hard fans, but you know they're 0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:37.480 only going to fill one seat. So if you've got 0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:39.560 like a table of four, you know, four people are 0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:43.520 sitting in you know, fit of seats watching you. Somebody 0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:46.840 has said to three people, hey, whishuld go and see 0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:52.040 Dave O'Neill. Yeah, so you've got to stay relevant. 0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:54.840 You've got it. Yeah, it's important for someone like me 0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:57.679 doing podcasts but also doing radio you know, on the 0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:04.600 ABC and stuff, occasional TV appearances. That's what keeps me relevant. 0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:08.000 You know what I mean? Because I remember saying to 0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:10.440 a guy in Geelong, well, why why do you reckon? 0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:13.240 I draw a crowd, you know in Geelong and as 0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:15.520 opposed to someone else who's you know, has been around 0:27:15.560 --> 0:27:17.040 as long as me. He goes, well, you're still on 0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:19.679 things and stuff, That's what he said. You're still on 0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:23.399 things and stuff. You know anyone knows because everyone can 0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:25.240 know you, but still not come to your gigs too. 0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:27.840 That's the factor I reckon. I know that guy. But 0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:30.439 and then there's people that are hot, you know, like 0:27:30.560 --> 0:27:33.520 say your mate Going Montgomery, he's hot at the moment, 0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:37.480 you know is hot, and you know you know mal 0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:39.679 In fact, all the Kiwi's. 0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:41.000 We're back to the key. 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:43.520 That's actually true. Way a lot of the quis are like. 0:27:43.560 --> 0:27:47.480 Yeah, they're all hot at the moment anyway, can't wait 0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:49.120 for the simments to turn up and fuck. 0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:50.840 You got yeah? 0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:55.719 Yeah, yeah, that's so good.

Anyway, 0:27:55.720 --> 0:27:59.440 we're traveling the epping And have you done an RSL before? 0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:00.720 You have done one? 0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:02.120 What way was that? 0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:05.560 I forgot? But yeah it's I did one of these 0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:10.000 laugh check ones before as well. It's always interesting because 0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:12.560 I feel like my style is not conventional. 0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:15.720 So are you that conventional? Yeah? 0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:18.200 I wouldn't say so, but it's also not normal. 0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:20.840 Right, Okay, I'll be watching carefully. 0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:24.480 Oh man, my idol? 0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:28.480 Who is your idol in comedy? 0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:28.640 Though? 0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:30.159 Who did you look up? 0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:32.840 Will we say, like, yeah, probably the guys you mentioned, 0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:38.280 like god Ray and they're all like the goats in 0:28:38.320 --> 0:28:39.400 my opinion of course. 0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:42.479 Yeah, yeah, Brad, have you done RSL before? 0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:48.800 I did an rsl' an American comedian and he looked 0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:53.720 at all the the the the weapons outside, you know, 0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:56.880 the cannons and stuff, and I said to him, yeah, 0:28:57.240 --> 0:28:59.000 we take out beer pretty seriously. 0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:02.120 Don't try and get it because yeah, you know, what 0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:04.000 they are though, they Returned Service Club, but I mean 0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:06.120 there's not many diggers left to go to the rs L. 0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:08.800 And then I went in there and told to take 0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:09.320 my hat off. 0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:14.200 Oh yes, that's annoying.

Wise has the most comedic talent? 0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:21.480 We say, look, they're all pretty funny. 0:40:22.040 --> 0:40:24.120 It's a standard diplomatically, yeah, but. 0:40:24.040 --> 0:40:28.200 We say Barney's quite funny. The youngest one, but he's young. 0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:29.799 Ones are often are you the youngest or what are 0:40:29.840 --> 0:40:32.120 you in the middle? Middle? Yet youngest are off in 0:40:32.200 --> 0:40:34.560 the comedians because they've got an audience, you know. But 0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:38.239 he seems to crack a few gags. That's good, but 0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:41.160 I don't know if they will. My daughter's funny too, 0:40:41.160 --> 0:40:44.600 but she said she's more interested in writing kind of 0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:49.520 you know writing, I know TV shows. Okay, she'd be 0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:53.439 a good rider, I reckon like, and I said, yeah, 0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:56.920 get into it anyway. I'd encourage them because, you know, 0:40:57.640 --> 0:40:59.520 as always said, I didn't. I didn't want to be 0:40:59.560 --> 0:41:01.239 a fitter Turner because I didn't want to turn up 0:41:01.280 --> 0:41:03.480 to the lathe and have people go, well, he's good, 0:41:03.520 --> 0:41:04.600 but he's not as good as his father. 0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:08.120 Kevin question for you then, so if you're if you're 0:41:08.320 --> 0:41:11.480 a saved Barnie, you know what what would be? What 0:41:11.480 --> 0:41:14.520 would you give him the roadmap to becoming. 0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:19.200 A comic dev At first, I get instantly jealous and 0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:27.080 try and sabotage his career, get him under debrief. You're 0:41:27.080 --> 0:41:30.200 going to do a gig with Henry tonight and all right, 0:41:30.280 --> 0:41:32.040 you've got a fill in for me at rs L. 0:41:32.160 --> 0:41:35.719 Barnie say Dad sick, but I'm gonna have a crack. No, 0:41:36.239 --> 0:41:38.040 you know what it's You know what it's all about. 0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:41.719 It's all that time on stage. That's the only way 0:41:41.719 --> 0:41:43.960 to learn how to do stand up, apart from doing 0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:45.880 a course with Brad Oaks School of Hard Knock Knocks. 0:41:45.920 --> 0:41:48.640 Look it up if you're thinking about it. But of 0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:51.239 course it's good to get your started. But there's nothing 0:41:51.320 --> 0:41:55.840 beats time on stage. Say that Brad runs. 0:41:57.800 --> 0:42:00.440 Hang on, So why why do you hate them? 0:42:01.000 --> 0:42:03.800 I think they tend to make you not unique? 0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:06.360 Oh yeah, but it's only for three or four days. 0:42:06.680 --> 0:42:08.080 It will soon run off. 0:42:10.200 --> 0:42:12.640 If you're funny, you already know how to be funny. 0:42:12.800 --> 0:42:15.920 Not always. But also the course that Brad runs you 0:42:16.000 --> 0:42:17.319 get to do a gig at the end of it, 0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:20.160 in a supportive environment. I reckon, that's important. 0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:23.120 And I see, I don't teach people to be funny. 0:42:23.360 --> 0:42:24.280 I teach people. 0:42:24.800 --> 0:42:27.680 I coach people in how to do stand up comedy 0:42:27.920 --> 0:42:30.640 because you don't know, and you still don't know, even 0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:33.960 though you've won raw because of the conversation we had before, 0:42:34.560 --> 0:42:37.440 you still don't know that you have to talk to 0:42:37.480 --> 0:42:40.959 people in order to get your comedy across. And there's 0:42:40.960 --> 0:42:43.799 so many things you could learn if people could just 0:42:43.880 --> 0:42:46.919 tell you rather than have to learn them yourself. But 0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:51.160 as Dave said, the funny bit you have to learn 0:42:51.200 --> 0:42:51.720 on stage. 0:42:51.880 --> 0:42:53.680 Yeah, you do a real lot of it. 0:42:53.760 --> 0:42:56.280 Nothing beats stage. It's not the ten thousand hour theory. 0:42:56.440 --> 0:42:58.640 Nothing beats that. I reckon, And just get up and 0:42:58.640 --> 0:43:00.600 do a gig anyway you can, whether it's at a 0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:04.200 twenty first or at a party between bands, whatever, no 0:43:04.200 --> 0:43:05.839 matter how shit it is, you know what I mean. 0:43:06.680 --> 0:43:08.400 That's my advice the young people out there, all the 0:43:08.400 --> 0:43:11.080 old people thinking a crackt stand up. Of course, I 0:43:11.080 --> 0:43:15.920 don't have to do those gigs anymore, thank fuck. Anyway, 0:43:15.920 --> 0:43:17.680 I'm gonna ask you guys the questions I asked every 0:43:17.680 --> 0:43:21.440 one of these questions, Henry, I called your Harry, then 0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:27.960 call me Bunny Barnie. Henry Barney, what what went well tonight? 0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:35.959 And why you reckon? What went well? And said like, yeah, yeah, Brad, 0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:37.640 give them Mike to Brad, he'll answer it. 0:43:37.719 --> 0:43:38.040 Okay. 0:43:39.040 --> 0:43:41.600 I think Greig's very well organized laugh track comedy, Yes, 0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:42.920 very well organized. 0:43:44.320 --> 0:43:47.600 Yeah, all started on time. I liked his little down 0:43:47.640 --> 0:43:48.960 clock there, you. 0:43:48.920 --> 0:43:53.239 Know, well for people in a countdown clock, which is great. 0:43:53.400 --> 0:43:56.799 Yeah, which is usually it's great, you know, because you 0:43:56.800 --> 0:43:59.040 can just see your time and everything. It's only bad 0:43:59.040 --> 0:43:59.759 when you're having a ship. 0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:07.680 Yeah, when Henry stands in front of it. Right, Okay, Henry, 0:44:07.680 --> 0:44:09.239 have you had to think about it? Henry, what went well? 0:44:09.280 --> 0:44:12.560 And you said, and my sick They. 0:44:12.480 --> 0:44:14.640 Want to you. They really liked you straight away. 0:44:15.080 --> 0:44:20.400 Yes, but I think like the stuff that it went like, 0:44:20.440 --> 0:44:22.359 it was going really well the start, and then I 0:44:22.400 --> 0:44:24.080 was like, oh man, I want to do stuff I 0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:25.520 really want to talk about, and then. 0:44:25.400 --> 0:44:28.680 It dropped off and then I was just trying to 0:44:28.719 --> 0:44:31.640 figure out, like what they want why because in some 0:44:32.200 --> 0:44:35.319 like I find like in some rooms like I do 0:44:36.480 --> 0:44:40.120 basement or whatever, and it's like when they like me 0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:42.960 I can just say whatever and everything's funny. 0:44:43.040 --> 0:44:45.879 And then I was just wondering, like that's the next question. 0:44:45.920 --> 0:44:46.719 What didn't go well? 0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:49.840 Yeah, but it was just like that portion in the middle, 0:44:49.880 --> 0:44:54.799 and I was just trying to figure out, like why, Well, if. 0:44:55.080 --> 0:44:58.480 The concepts are maybe too intellectual, you know what I mean, 0:44:58.560 --> 0:45:01.000 they may not get onto that. Sometimes I reckon any 0:45:01.080 --> 0:45:03.440 organization has anything wrong with the room. I'm going to 0:45:03.440 --> 0:45:05.799 answer that I had to pay for the meals, all right, 0:45:06.600 --> 0:45:08.960 Greek should organize three meals all, you know, and free 0:45:09.200 --> 0:45:11.560 and free drinks. I said to Greg, are they can 0:45:11.640 --> 0:45:12.279 I get a free drink? 0:45:12.360 --> 0:45:12.480 Yes? 0:45:12.840 --> 0:45:13.520 What did he say? 0:45:13.760 --> 0:45:17.600 He said, we don't have any drinks. Dat privileges privileges. 0:45:18.200 --> 0:45:20.080 But thank god the barman was a fan of the 0:45:20.080 --> 0:45:22.440 movie The Nugget I was in twenty years ago. He 0:45:22.480 --> 0:45:23.320 gave us free drinks. 0:45:23.400 --> 0:45:25.719 Drink privileges. Sounds like something in prison, doesn't it. 0:45:25.960 --> 0:45:29.640 I think organizational wise, I don't think if you have 0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:32.880 a really good line of sight to the countdown clock 0:45:33.200 --> 0:45:35.880 that any comedian should stand in front of it, so 0:45:36.680 --> 0:45:38.600 dust ruining your line of sight to it. 0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:42.439 I love that clock. How can we do better next time, 0:45:42.480 --> 0:45:45.919 guys and give a free meal. Let me not pay 0:45:45.960 --> 0:45:49.400 for the meals. Yeah, well, well me pay for a 0:45:49.440 --> 0:45:52.279 meal and eat it. I'm trying to lose weight, though, 0:45:52.280 --> 0:45:54.600 I don't want to eat it at night, late at night. 0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:56.120 I'll leave some money down the back of. 0:45:56.120 --> 0:45:58.280 The yea, yeah, leave you some money on the dash 0:45:58.320 --> 0:46:02.120 give anyway, Brad.
