Here it's pouring down with rain as it 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.320 is right now. And uh, you know, sometimes there are 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:43.280 people who's swipey card doesn't work, or they're just hanging 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.960 around outside waiting for someone else to let them in.

Aaron Phillips is 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:54.959 in our building. Well, why is she. 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.040 Hanging around the building at five am in the morning. 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.120 But that's what I thought. But she's you know, she's 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:00.920 now she's co host thing for a couple of months 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.840 on a Adelaide breakfast show.

They would she was doing stuff at the 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.560 Open yesterday. Oh cool, Yeah, she was there yesterday hanging 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:14.160 out with Federer and serena pretty amazing day. Anyway, she 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:15.920 was stuck out. We had to let her in the building. 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.280 If you're erin Phillips, you should have a swipe card 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.880 that gets you into any building wherever you want. 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.040 See. I thought you were going to say rules of 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.039 rules therein I know who you are, but I can't 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:26.759 mabe to. 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.360 Make a couple of courses check on my database, you know, 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.480 to know you could have been fired. Did you not 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.959 get the memo? I mean, you know footies are hard, well, 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.399 but then there's breakfast radio. But what I could I 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:39.880 was so made up mean her, even though it was 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:41.920 very early and you're like trying to make small talk 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.920 with somebody. But yeah, amazing, Yeah real gun Lois suits 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.120 obviously got into her footie. She idolizes her. She can 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.240 make up. I think she was a very good basketball 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.960 player as well, and cricketer, you know, one of those 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.040 all rounders that can just do any any sport. So 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.320 on this morning show. Then yesterday, the big thing is 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.280 we were naming the beer here. Hero's Gold is what 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.520 our Bushfire relief beer is going to be called.

And thanks so 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.679 much all the hundreds of names of different suggestions of 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.880 what we should call of this important beer. But we've 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.680 gone for Heroes Gold. And the really really exciting thing 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.239 is people have a really started to make jingles later 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:29.960 on this morning. You can hear some of them. Some 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.160 of them are incredible. That one we got I sent 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.919 you guys yesterday afternoon at the Guy's Scent is great. 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:36.639 I mean, stop the search here. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.600 I think I thought we would take another week or 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.320 two trying to find a great jingle, but there is 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.680 a really, really good one. Now. Patsy is putting something 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.640 off that a lot of us put off, and that 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.839 is to do with your teeth. Please tell everyone what 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.160 you need to have done at the dentist. 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.520 I've got a lot, well it's mounting up. I've got 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.119 to get three fillings and then I've got I think 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.200 I must grate my teeth when I sleep. So I've 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:02.000 got like two very small hair cracks down my front teeth, 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.520 and apparently I need caps on them or something cracks? 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.800 What you do? Two cabs and three fill in my 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.959 teeth afterward? This thing at bed at night time to 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.800 stop me grinding? You're actually cracking your teeth? 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.960 Got a crawd. I don't know. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.639 But when he said that and he said caps, I 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.080 didn't hear anything else. All I could see was dollar 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:26.359 signs in my eyes. But the dentist keeps crying, what's 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:27.320 a cap on the toothing? 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.840 Well, a couple of grand I think, no. 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.000 No, no, I don't mean like literally, what do they do? 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.280 I think they put like a film over it so 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:35.760 it can't crack any further. 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:37.760 Well, can't you put some of that spare contact that 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.560 you had from when you did all these stool books? 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.760 Is that a way to save some money? 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:42.640 Maybe I should? 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:42.760 So? 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.880 How many phone called reminders? Because I'm sure to have 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.200 this filling at the back, and the dentists went yard, 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.120 we'll give you a reminder to two messages I've had. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.800 I was meant to come in six months ago. Yes, 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.800 I'm all right. The moment I will I will call 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.480 you when I'm in pain. That's when I bought my tent. 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.040 To the point, said Tom Hanks in Castaway Level, where 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:03.360 he has to knock it out with. 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.680 The ice, I'm not doing it while it doesn't hurt, 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.920 because no one winningly hands himself into the dentist. 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.880 I just I've got terror from like being a kid. 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.920 We had the worst dentist, old missus Burns. 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:24.720 She petrified me and she was really she was dreadful. 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.080 And she had this caro heater in a waiting room. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.440 And now every time I smell it, it takes me 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.520 back to sweaty. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.760 Palms and waiting to be called in to. 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.640 Get You got post traumatic stress disorder from the but 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.160 also pats to be fair dental care like nowadays, you 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.520 should take your kids in. They calm them down. You 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.280 want to watch some episodes of Friends? I know put 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.680 the special all this. We didn't have any There was 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:51.760 no watching anything. 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.000 My dentist has a TV installed on the roof, so 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:56.840 when you're lying back in the chair, you watch TV. 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.640 It's all nice. Now do you want some homeopathic treatment? 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.680 Are you waited? What was it that you had to 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.440 sit there? And I'm sure that the sound of the 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.120 drill was even louder the recon I reckon, they've got 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.240 these new like they have these whisper hair dryers. Now, 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.000 I reckon, they've got like whisper drills. You barely hear 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:16.320 it now, but you see it somedings that were using 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:17.600 on some kid's teeth. 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:18.760 Starting a petrol engine. 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.560 The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast. 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.200 May have heard in the news this morning with Patsy 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.400 very sad passing away of a proper comedy icon. Terry Jones, 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:32.400 one of the founding members of Monty Python, has passed 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.520 away overnight, which is really tragic news because Terry was 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.720 your bona fide, like all the Python's genius geniuses word 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.719 that we bounded around too easily these days, but Terry 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.400 and all all the members of Monty Python were that 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.880 are that are geniuses. And one of the one of 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.560 the things I was surprised about when I moved here 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.800 was just how much British comedy you all grew up 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.440 on and revered, which was lovely. I love that, including 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.440 so many of you loved Monty Python like a lot 0:05:58.480 --> 0:05:59.960 of people over the world, but I didn't realize that 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.960 it stretched as far as Australia because obviously when they 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.520 were on TV, TV was a much smaller place to 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.320 get it around the world. Now we all stream and 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.480 everyone's watching the same TV show wherever you are on 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.680 the world. But I used to they were just a 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.560 There'd just been nothing like Monty Python. When I was 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.400 a kid watching that with my dad. He used to 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.679 let me watch it. There'd been nothing like that before. 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.600 I don't think there ever has really since either. 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.719 Yeah, I have similar memories of my parents being big 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.880 Monty Python fans and watching Live at the Hollywood Bowl 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.800 as a young kid and Life of Brian as a 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.040 young kid. Probably too young for the age I was, 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.400 but have such fond memories of that, and it is 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.160 something I shared with my parents. 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.760 Yeah, they were, they were. They made so much. They 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.919 changed all of comedy. If you think about even communities 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:45.120 like Steve Martin and South Park are they all always 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.240 pay huge credit to what Monty Python did with not 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.440 just the how well written all the sketches were and 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.760 how silly and surreal they were, but visually how it 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.240 all looked as well, with the Foot Coming Down and 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.839 then the movies as well. Jack and I were just 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.360 talking before the show about Life of Brian. Just how 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.560 if a movie like I don't even know imember, and 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.280 I'm lucky enough to interview quite a few of them, 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.159 And Terry Jones of a couple of times, and John 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.120 Pleas and Michael Palin, they also the same thing. They 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.440 don't think they'd be able to make those movies in 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.200 these modern times. They wouldn't be a mate. They don't 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:16.760 think they get the funding for Life of Brian, and 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.560 they think they'd be death threats and stuff like that. 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.600 That the world is a more advanced place in certain ways, 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.160 but in some ways far more which. 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:25.920 Is interesting to think about. You think we are always 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.200 getting a little bit more progressive, but it's something that 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:29.880 was made in the seventies couldn't be made to know. 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.200 In terms of comedy now and offensiveness, I think we're 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.880 actually becoming going backwards at times. You know, you think 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.600 about people who are actually upset and wrote big articles 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.280 saying that Ricky Gervas is a right wing nut job 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.040 because of some jokes he made at the Golden Globe, 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.200 at the Golden Gloves that even said at the beginning, 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.520 now these are just jokes. I've been hard to write 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.640 them but plays if you got upset, remember they are 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.480 just jokes. Did them and people were still upset and 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.200 then said he's right wing because of making jokes. So 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:56.960 goodness knows what people would have made of Life of 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.600 Brian if that came out like this weekend. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.640 Yeah, but do you remembermember the impact that Life of 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.480 Brian had when it first came out, because I moment 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.000 it must have had its fair share of controversy back. 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.520 When it was in England. I mean the stuff that 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.040 it deals with. I mean there were like protesters, the 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.080 stiffly worded letters to the BBC. I mean, I think 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.560 Peter Sellers fund, they struggled to get financing from it. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.400 Peter Sellers bank rolled that movie. 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.720 Yeah, and George Harrison and George. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.320 Howson Yeah yeah, well they just couldn't get the money. 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.600 People were like scared of being anywhere involved and stuff 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.800 that there were. There was a religious group that took 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:34.960 out full page newspaper adverts urging anyone who was religious 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.240 not to go and see this movie, basically saying you 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:38.120 would going to hell. 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.240 But isn't that I mean, I bet that worked against 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.120 their what their will want? John, If I saw that 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:45.560 in the newspaper. I would go. 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.719 The next day John Clees said it was in the 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.800 Daily Mail, and even then the Daily Mail was just 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.959 kind of you know, the adverts were placed in the 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.040 Daily Mail, and I remember John Clees was saying, how 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:57.440 one of the of the pythons, I think it was 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.599 Michael Poland called and going did you write these and 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.040 take these? They just were so over the time that 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:08.480 John John's these. Surely these are so ridiculous. An actual 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.800 human surely hasn't written this and taken a four part 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.920 John is under a fake name. But I would saying 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:15.679 maybe we should We often do ay couple of months 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.120 we try and to do a classic movie club. Maybe 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.080 we should do Life for Brian. You know, there are 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.120 so many, so many great moments that still really really 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.480 funny now and live on as well. I was also saying, 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.160 you know how they have you often people will talk 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.400 about the Mount Rushmore, who be on the Mount Rushmore. 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.400 If we were talking about the Mount Rushmore of comedy geniuses, 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.800 people that actually change comedy forever and leave a different 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.080 mark on it, you've got to have the pythons out there. 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:38.760 But obviously there's five of them, so let's just say 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.760 there's one face that is all their five faces, a 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.319 very python ess kind of image. Maybe it's just a 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.840 stamping foot represents all five of the founding members. 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.760 Of Hydra creature that has five of their heads coming 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:53.480 off one neck. 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:55.800 So I think the pythons would be on the Mount 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.040 Rushmore of comedy, right, they deserve to go on that. 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.040 Who else do you think deserves to go on the 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:04.160 Mount Rushmore of comedy? Like our founding fathers and mothers, 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:05.280 like really did change it? 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.720 Does this go back far enough from me? I guess Seinfeld? 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.640 Jerry Thyon, Yeah, I missed the great sist. I don't 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.679 think there's a funnier sitcom than Seinfeld. 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.160 Last night I was watching the first two episodes of 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.120 the new Larry David Kirby Your Enthusiasm, Yeah, season ten, 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.199 which is still so funny. And when you watch Larry 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:24.640 David and Kirby Enthusiasm, it's George, you know, it's just 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.679 everything that happens there, You know, I would see right 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.920 you were you're writing a Larry David who co wrote 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:30.600 all of them and came up with the idea with Jerry, 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.200 he is George. 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.000 And then like Monty Python in a way, It's kind 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:35.320 of those partnerships that. 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:39.600 Were just like yeah, absolutely, yeah, definitely Jerry Seinfeld foul, 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.199 definitely going perhaps, who do you think should go on? 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:42.160 You know who it is? 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.920 For me, it's got to be Paul Hogan, a bit 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:50.199 of local flavor. He was absolute, absolutely remarkable and had 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.520 a big impact on me. I thought it very down 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.160 to worth. Black and white is what you see, and 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.240 he doesn't pretend to be anything else. 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.080 And he was an institution here. He was a massive 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:01.959 part of my upbringing. 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:03.559 He must have been so the rest of us. So 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.200 in England we came across Paul Hokam for the first 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.360 time with Crocodile Dundee, which was this for me. I 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.000 thought it was like the funniest movie in the world. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.200 I just thought it was such a funny, funny movie. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.240 It was massive that movie. I think it made like 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.320 three or four hundred million around the world. They made 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.840 it for like twelve million. It was a huge movie. 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.280 So he would have been before your time, Jack ye. 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.840 I mean, yeah, we're going down familiar path here, but 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.520 I haven't seen Crocodile Dundee. 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.680 I keep forgetting. Yeah, I thought every Australia had to 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.360 at school leaving exams. You weren't allowed to go into 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:37.760 the world with us seeing crocodile. 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:39.880 But he had a weekly show. 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.800 I know, I know the theme. He goes he's an 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.120 outback kind of guy in goes to New York? 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.080 Is that it? But so much more, so much more. 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:50.559 It's a really funny movie. 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:51.240 His stand up. 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.400 He did a show every week, Christian and I think 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.719 it was on Channel nine, wasn't it, Brad? Channel nine 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.400 used to show it, and he throwing to. 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:04.240 Our older producer was around Wikipedia actually go to him 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.000 about a lot of stuff. So the Egyptians use this 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:07.920 the writing tools. 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.760 But some of these characters like Leo Wenka. 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.400 His name, this isn't like before the show at the 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.160 Warmer Show. We're actually on air. We don't need to 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:25.960 know any more about that character. That Monty Python, whoever 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.960 that character was. Okay, so let's take a break now 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.520 and have a little pats chat with Patsy give us school. 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.839 Who do you think should be on the Mount Rushmore 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:36.760 of comedy. I think pats should be. 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.960 The Christian O'Connell breakfast show podcast. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.520 Apologies about the strong language that Patsy used earlier. She 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.720 couldn't find the folder of a strong language you can't 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.040 use on breakfast radio, amongst all the other one hundred 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:52.760 and fifty ones. So we just opened up a new 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.400 subfolder for her. All right, we're trying to We're talking 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.320 about comedy legends this morning, because one has passed away, 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.360 Terry Jones from Monty Python and also the writer of 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.720 Labyrinth as well, a properer comedy genius. We're talking all 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.640 the other Pythons and everybody else. Who do you think 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.400 deserves to be on the mount Rushmore of comedy? Think 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:13.240 about people who really changed comedy and their comedy lives 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.280 away after them. Let's take some calls right now. Scott 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.959 coome Onrning good on, Yeah, good Scott. Who do you 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:21.960 think should be on the mount Rushmore of Comedy? 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.320 I think you get going through the eighties, earlier nighties. 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:29.400 Even now, you can't go past Eddie Murphy, the comedians 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.920 in cars with him and Jerry Seinfeld. You see Jerry 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.480 Stool in AWE. There's a scene where the two of 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.280 them are having a coffee together and Jerry said, I 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.760 always always thought you were the magic man. You just 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.640 had something different for Jerry Seinfeld say that to another comedian. 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.079 You can just see he's just in awe of the 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.880 powers of Eddie Murphy and he's due. He's just signed 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.640 a deal with Netflix. He've been doing two brand new 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:50.880 stand up specials, and. 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.000 He talks in that episode with Jerry Siefeld about how 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.200 scared he was to go back to stand up. But 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.320 I just rewatched Eddie Murphy raw Bianca. 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:02.960 It's so good, amazing story teller and what a great 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.280 comic character as well. Beverly Hills cop was great. Love 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.280 those movies. Yes, Scott, Eddie Murphy just should definitely go up. 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.959 And without Eddie Murphy there'll be no Dave Chappelle, a 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.400 lot of other comedians and Chris Rock they allow him 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.080 and Richard Pyre so much, Scott, great idea, Thank you 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:16.800 very much. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:18.160 Thanks judge.

What will you? 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:30.200 Who should we have on the Mount Rushmore for comedy? 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.480 Matt Zone and Trey Parker park. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.960 Definitely what an amazing show. Yeah, definitely, and very Monty 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.400 Pythron at time as well, but comedy with a real 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:39.200 edge as well. 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.520 Fearless and it kind of underrated. All people like to 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.400 put South Park in a box. I think there's just 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.280 a silly TV show cartoon that has a lot of 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.960 swearing in it, but it's such a clever, clever, funny show. 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.560 Yeah. And the movie World America Team Police. That is 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.320 a really really smart movie as well, very bad and. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.840 There stage musical Book of Mormon. I mean, that's honestly 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.320 one of the best things I've said ever. Any too, 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:02.360 haven't seen it. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.920 Was in London, frages they kept being off with tickets 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.000 and still didn't go to see it. 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.080 Is it still here, Pats, No, it's finished. 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.600 I think it's opening in Thankston, so might go and 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.880 see that small Reptor they do Kira and that's a 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.840 great one.

Todd, who is it for you? 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:32.000 On the Mount rushmore of comedy. 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.320 Well, I'm going to go back a bit further and 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:35.600 go Andy Coffin. 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.000 He kind of pioneered that awkward and not sure if 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:39.840 it's funny. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.440 Not sure if it's a bit risk guy. 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:46.000 Yeah, absolutely. You think about Sasha Baron Cohen. Yeah, he's 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.480 definitely been you know that, he's a he's a real 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.440 echo of what Andy did, not coming out of character 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.280 and just really really pushing it into awkward areas. No 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.560 bor rat and or I mean he's fearless when he 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.520 goes as that film in that series he did that 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.160 was on stand last year is hard to watch at 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.600 times where you're like he's in genuine danger of his life. 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:05.720 Have you have you said that? There's a Jim Carrey 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:09.320 documentary where he talks about playing Andy Kauffman in the 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:10.240 movie Man on the Moon. 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.200 It's a brand documentary and. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.240 To get into Andy's headspace. He never came out of 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.440 character in the film, so when the director yells cut, 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:22.280 he's still portraying himself as Andy Kaufman. And everybody who 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:22.800 waits on the. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:28.360 Film pass and I keep waiting for you to break characters. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.640 Been eighteen months now.
