1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: It's a woman Woody podcast mini. But when you're in

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: a rush or just can't be bothered listening to them

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: blather on for half an hour.

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: Pete Ellie is going to be coming off on this

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: show live, very very surely. Yes, And look, we always

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: make Pete jump through a billion hoops when he gets here.

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've had him screaming in prank calls or screaming

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 3: the background in prank calls. We've had him doing videos before.

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 3: He came to my front porch last year just to

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 3: do a chat. So, look, Pete is in the green

11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: room currently in the radio studio, and we thought we'd

12
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 3: go down and say good day to him and make

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 3: him believe that the chat with him was was going

14
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 3: to be outrageous, like we're going to make him do

15
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 3: something really quite uncomfortable. And he's such a nice guy

16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: he actually went along with it for a little bit.

17
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 4: Decided you want to, oh yeah, speaking of.

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 3: If you got a little bit wet, just random question,

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: just like a like sprayed with water, like how like

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: a mist like the missed.

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 4: Which we have the aquaman costume? You'd put that actually on? Yeah?

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 4: I able to suit on, but I'm happy to you know,

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 4: get wet.

00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: You're the nicest going allies in the studio. Really really

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: surely would. Right now, we have one of well, my

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: favorite guests in the studio. You're perpetually afraid of this

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: man because well, you know, he's just a better meat.

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: Some people say he could do your job. Of course

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: he could do my jobs. Is a far better mate.

30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: And you joke constantly about the fact that you would

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: replace him. Me with him, I would never replace him. No,

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: of course he's irreplaceable. He's this guy.

33
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: Some guys no introduction, right Woods. They're that big and

34
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,120

00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: Right Woods. The type of that you dream.

40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,680

Speaker 4: Just around the corner, having a little secret lunch.

49
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,800

Speaker 3: Why the bull the curtain down? I mean, Pete, you're

53
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: a big guest. How often does a radio host go sorry?

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: I know you're here on time for your interview, but

55
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to finish my green curry.

56
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: He always done.

Speaker 1: Half a tup aware container of chow men or whatever

58
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: it was. I thought he's gonna put a little that we're.

59
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 4: Going to do the interview. No, there's no lid. He

60
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: just kept on.

61
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: Tucking away, and it dawned on me. Oh no, Will's

62
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: finishing his lunch. He's going for it. He can offer

63
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: me a nice little chocolate treat though, which I gave.

64
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: You a consolation prize.

65
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: It's like it's like keeping a kid entertaining old dad finishes.

66
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: I said before, I said to you before, if it

67
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: was a bigger guess, you know, or I wouldn't have

68
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 2: put up with that ship. It's interesting, you know, it's interesting.

69
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: Not on the scale. Though, At what point do you

70
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: not finish your lunch?

71
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like I would like you to test that

72
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: start with shamnon no nosey, get nolesy in and see

73
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: how long you can before you start the interview.

74
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: Having I'm having dessert. I'm having dessert before.

75
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 4: He's a good guy. He's a good guy. When I

76
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 4: was doing radio years ago, brought me a sausage roll. Yes,

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: he thought you'd be a sausage roll guy. To be honest.

78
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: There we got I want a guy actually funny if

79
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: everyone knows like he would do anything for you, A

80
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: really really nice guy. He really gets around the content.

81
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: We had an idea with him ages ago in Perth

82
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: where he was the headline of a music festival. So

83
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 2: we were like, right, can we get you coming on

84
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: a raft down the Swan River and then you get

85
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: off the raft and then jump on a horse and

86
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 2: then ride into the festival, which is like a wild,

87
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 2: wild concept.

88
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 4: That's how I got here today.

89
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: So him and he's like, yeah, boys will do it anyway.

90
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: We get there on the day it is like the

91
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: biggest storm you've ever seen, Like it's like apocalyptic style storm.

92
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: So we're on this. We're on this raft on the

93
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: way down the Swan Swan by the way, bull sharks

94
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: and the Swan we're on a homemade raft in life jackets.

95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 4: He has a nervous wee in the swan.

96
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: It's all. There's only like fifty people left at the

97
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: festival because it's raining so hard. A lightning storm starts

98
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: and he's got to try and get on this horse.

99
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: The horse. The lightning storm starts like buck king and

100
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: careering around and Knowlesy's in a life jacket fifty meters

101
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: from the festival and the horse nearly absolutely cleans him

102
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: up in the face. There's lightning going off anywhere, and

103
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: at that point he turns to us and he goes, boys,

104
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: I think I might have had enough with the entrance.

105
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: All right, mate, would have been relieved.

106
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: He would have said yes to the boat and the

107
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: horses because he didn't want a black, shiny car.

108
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 5: That's the only thing he did. And you mentioned the

109
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 5: entrance is going to be shy car. Son, good dog.

110
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 4: It's the Will and Woody podcast.

111
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: Got a very special I guess in Pete. Hell yeah,

112
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 2: he's in the studio. He's at the Melbourne Comedy Festival

113
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: for only three shows Friday, Saturday Sunday. Ticketmaster dot com.

114
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: If you want to see him, Pete, why just the

115
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: short run there mate, the festival's back.

116
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 4: I'm very excited it's back and I want to go

117
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 4: see some shows. So I thought i'd just do three myself.

118
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: I traditionally just done the short of runs because I

119
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: have other stuff.

120
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 4: You know, the project takes a time.

121
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: We just wrapped on series three of How to Stay

122
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: Married and I've got a family, so you.

123
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 4: Got the kids, You've got the Kids book as well.

124
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 2: Frankie Frankie Fish Fish, the brand new episode of Hims.

00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: Come out of Yeah, April seven.

00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: The Knights of Kerfuffle the final Frankie Fish actually very

127
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: excited and very proud.

128
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: Of that series. So the Knights of the Nights of

129
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 4: Kerfuffle with a K as in Knights.

130
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you got uff with and a couple.

131
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: Of f's in the middle. Yeah, you spell it out,

132
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 4: frank with an F, Fish with an F.

133
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: He's used to pitching the idea the kids.

134
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: That's why I do the three shows. But it's been

135
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: a weird one because we I started the show last

136
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: year in Sydney and then Adelaide and then the Bug

137
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: win around. You may have read about well, Melbourne heard

138
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: about it. The rest of the country read about it

139
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: in the papers and so that it's a weird thing

140
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: of like more so remembering a show that as opposed

141
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: to building new material for us, there's a new material

142
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: like some of it that I was doing last year.

143
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,559
Speaker 1: Doesn't seem as as cutting ends like my Linda Chamberlin

144
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: stuf bubble doesn't work anymore, you know, it doesn't seem

145
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: as edgy. You know, sco'sed for different reasons now than

146
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: he was a year ago.

147
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 4: Just a tweak there, a bit of a tweet.

148
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: It's a tiny tweak at the base of the gag.

149
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: Still very much so.

150
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 4: So so Pete.

151
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: So the other thing I wanted to ask about the

152
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: Comedy Festival as well, is because we've had Tom Leason

153
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: in here talking about it. Will Anderson's in He're talking

154
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: about oh.

155
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 4: You sing up the comics as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

156
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: the comics exactly. It's a bit weird. It's a bit weird. Sorry,

157
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 4: I thought I was coming into say the best to last.

158
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: We say the best of last about that?

159
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: Okay, what did Tom and Will do?

160
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: I know, Pete. So what they were saying though, which

161
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: is really great fair for anyone who's who's's sort of

162
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: on the fence about seeing the Comedy Festival is normally

163
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: it is obviously the international comedy festival and you get

164
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: people from all over the world to come in and

165
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: do the show. But because of COVID, the double edged

166
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: sword to the fact that it's been so crap for

167
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: so long is that you can't be any international invaders

168
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: really here. It's just a huge swath of really talented

169
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: ossie people getting big bills at big times and doing

170
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: big shows.

171
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: So absolutely, it's a really lovely feeling amongst the comics

172
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: at the moment that it is going to be a

173
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: real homegrown festival. Just I think the Melbourn Comedy Festival

174
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: had done such an amazing job getting this festival up.

175
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: It's going to be very COVID safe, Like there's reduced

176
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: capacity so you won't necessarily be squeezed together as often

177
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: sometimes you are at festivals.

178
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 4: You will have some space.

179
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm at the Arts Center, it's a beautiful Theater's reduced

180
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: capacity so you will have seats around you so you

181
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: can spread out and just go and support the festivals

182
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: for locals. Because you know it's been mentioned before, comics

183
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: are the first people to jump in for benefits for

184
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: schools and bush fires and stuff like that. So it'd

185
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: be great for people to really support comics.

186
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: And when you you're reminded of how good a live

187
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: comic is.

188
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 4: That's what when you go late, you forget that.

189
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 3: You're like run out of time.

190
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 4: So you're right, Pete, go this weekend, go and see Pete.

191
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: I should say. The other reason Pete's pushing getting in

192
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: the first weekend is because he's only performing.

193
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm just realized after the first weekend, just forget about

194
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: the rest. Just focused on member or whatever it's coming

195
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: up next. You know, it's the first week and then

196
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: get back to your life after that. Go to they

197
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: do what you need to do, watch.

198
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 4: The project, get a book. Get a book Frankie Fish,

199
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 4: because you need to get the first day of Frankie Fish.

200
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 4: You gotta get in there first. Get it. Oh good stuff.

201
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,600
