I keep them all on a list. 10 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 3: Somebody the other I said, catching Keel. I said, oh 11 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 3: catching Will. Good, that's good. I write that one down. 12 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: Okay, how quickly is this year gone? We're already talking 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: early January or you know, late January fringe shows. 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 3: I mean, it's incredible. My tour of what you're talking 15 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 3: about Will last year. So I set out to do 16 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 3: these completely improvised shows every single night. I did not 17 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 3: know really if I could do it or not. And 18 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 3: I put seventy eight shows on sale. I just did 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: the last one last weekend, and now I'm plugging next 20 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 3: years too, So it does feel like I'm just doing 21 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 3: it again. But I loved it oh much. It was 22 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 3: the most incredible comedic experience I've ever really had in 23 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 3: my life, which was just the opportunity to go out 24 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 3: every single night with a blank page and then have 25 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 3: the audience audience provide the ingredients that you work with. 26 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: Yeah. 27 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, completely improvised, so you never know what's going to happen. 28 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 2: That must Is that a bit nerve wracking? 29 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 3: Oh? At the start, it was completely nerve wracking. Now 30 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 3: it's just exciting. Now every night you're like, what am 31 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 3: I going to learn about tonight? What unusual thing about 32 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 3: the world that I was not aware of? Am I 33 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 3: going to discover tonight by talking to someone in the audience. 34 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 3: And sometimes it can be an emergency nurse telling you 35 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 3: what the latest patient came in with, you know, dangling 36 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 3: out of their butt, or it might be somebody literally 37 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 3: explaining how birdslu gets transmitted. Like we run the full 38 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 3: gamut in this show, and the two are not connected, 39 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 3: connected to each other. 40 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: Being improv I imagine the show could evolve so much 41 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: over the course of a week. If you know some 42 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 1: of the same topics, if they're sort of news topics 43 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: come up, well, it's very interesting to me. 44 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 3: So I have a rule. I mean I'm the only 45 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 3: person who's keeping count. But I figure, when you do 46 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 3: a bunch of shows like this, you need to develop 47 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 3: rules for yourself and how you approached the show. And 48 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 3: so what I did find was that topics did come 49 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 3: up again, and I thought, well, how in an improvised 50 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 3: show do I handle a topic coming up again? And 51 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: so I set myself the creative challenge at the start 52 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 3: of it that if a topic came up again, I 53 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 3: had to try and approach the topic from a different angle. So, 54 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 3: say it was a story about your buying coffee and 55 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 3: a cafe, you had to do it from the brewster's 56 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 3: perspective instead of your perspective or whatever it might be. 57 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 3: And it's just been such an incredible writing tools like 58 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 3: because you just start to see every story not just 59 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: from the way you saw the story, but your challenge 60 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: to kind of look at it from somebody else's perspective, 61 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 3: which has just been incredible. 62 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: Imagine if you've been doing a show on Sunday night 63 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: after the two day test. 64 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: I was just going to say, we know you follow footage. 65 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: You could not have been not following that as well. 66 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, oh no, I. 67 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: Mean, I'm a huge In fact, I have a cricket podcast, 68 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 3: two guys one net scored. You can find that on 69 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 3: the Everyone Relaxed Fade. We just did a new episode 70 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 3: talking all about it. And yeah, we weren't meant to 71 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: record that episode on Wednesday, but we really had to 72 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 3: move up to schedule when we recorded that one. I've 73 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 3: got to be honest with you, Yeah it was. It 74 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: was over clicked. I mean it had all the highlight 75 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: of a normal Test. We just needed to I've got 76 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 3: a new theory, which is I believe that Australia in 77 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 3: that position, and this is what we should bring back 78 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: to Test match cricket is the opportunity to rub your 79 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 3: opponent's nose in it. So I believe that Australia should 80 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 3: have been able to opt to keep it batting for 81 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: as well as they wanted to keep batting. There's a 82 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: few players in the team and need some experience in 83 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: the middle. You really the England bowlers into the ground maybe, 84 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: you know, maybe Marnus gets three hundred, really gets that 85 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: average back up again, you know, and then we get 86 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: three days of extra value for all those people who've 87 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 3: come to person. 88 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: Born exactly the cricket Australia wouldn't be out of pockets. 89 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 2: I know, three million dollars. Jeez, Travis, could you have 90 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,799 Speaker 2: just slowed it down. 91 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: A touch, you know, I mean everybody suffered after four 92 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: years on air. We were very sad to see in 93 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: August your ABC show question. Everything was just quietly sort 94 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: of let go. 95 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: Isn't media world wonderful? 96 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: Yeah? It feels like that show and its subject matters 97 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: more important now than ever though, Yeah, I. 98 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 3: Mean yes, I would think so too. I mean, as 99 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: the people behind the show, we're obviously a little bit biased, 100 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 3: you know, assessing the various important levels of those things 101 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 3: in society. But I think almost we're at the point 102 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 3: too where that engagement in the daily news system. I mean, 103 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 3: you know it because you have to to do it, 104 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 3: like in that radio, but you can't know what is 105 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 3: true anymore. You just get up in the morning and 106 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 3: you can read something on a website and you just 107 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 3: think this could just be a deep fake. This headline 108 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 3: that I'm talking about might not be the headline that 109 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: I mean. There were various I think headlines of the 110 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 3: Sunday Times, for example, that flew around the internet on 111 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: the weekend after the cricket, and I think one of 112 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: them was the actual headline, and there were a bunch 113 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 3: of others that I had quoted back to me, going 114 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 3: did you see the headline that said this? And I 115 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 3: was like, I'm pretty sure they did not put that 116 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 3: on the front play. 117 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 2: Actually the headlinete. 118 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: Doug route was the bit that they got correct. It 119 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 3: was the next line that was changed a few times. 120 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 3: A lot of variations on head And because I think 121 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: that's too. 122 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: Far put two and two together, you're work it out. 123 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 3: I think you can google it yourself. 124 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: Come yeah, all right, well, speaking of googling a fringeworld 125 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: dot com dot au is what you want to google 126 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: to get your tickets for WAT?
