1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: It's been almost a decade since rhes Darby last was

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 2: on stage behind a microphone, but brace yourselves, he's headed

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 2: our way in twenty twenty five with his new show,

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: aptly titled The Legend Returns. Like all good Kiwi things,

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: it's only a matter of time before we claim him

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: as our own. Rehys Darby.

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 3: Hello here he is.

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: Hello. Ten years since you've done stand up like this,

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: You've got a wealth of stuff to draw on. What

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: kind of things are tickling your fancy at the moment?

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, as you know, the world has turned

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 4: very rapidly in the last few years, with a lot

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 4: to talk about, and for me, as a middle aged

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 4: man still wearing tight jeans, I'm dealing with many issues.

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: As you can imagine.

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 4: I'm an artist, so I'm dealing with the artificial intelligence

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 4: takeover of the industry.

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: And you know, where.

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 4: Does a simple guy who likes to prance about and

21
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 4: create comedy fit in this world?

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: That's that's what the show's about.

23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the type jeans for a moment.

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: Are they sort of aging type jeans? Is that the

25
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: thing is that we're told we're too old to wear

26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: this stuff now.

27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 4: Well, I mean if you ask the kids, they're certainly

28
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 4: not in fashion anymore. That the type jeans had that

29
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: period there was like they do come back, they come

30
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 4: and they come again.

31
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: And I think the sixties they were big, the old

32
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: stone pipes. Yeah, you'd know, jonesy.

33
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: What were they called the stone pipe jeans? Not from the.

34
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: Sixties, Yeah, that's right there.

35
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 4: So these days, you know, I think that I think

36
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 4: here in La I'm noticing, you know, they're getting real

37
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 4: baggy again.

38
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, mate. I think look, when you get

39
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: to fifty, you can wear what you like.

40
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too. That that is a big

41
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: thing of the women. Women are always told that we're

42
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: wearing mum jeans. You know that what an insult?

43
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: Well, it's always the high waisted or the low waisted,

44
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: that's what that's right.

45
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: Where's where's your weight? Where's your waist at high or low?

46
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: Ten years ago, do you remember what was the big

47
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: issue that you were doing on stand up ten years ago?

48
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 3: Is there something you went boom that's what it was

49
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: all about?

50
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think ten years ago it was definitely Mermaids

51
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 4: for me. And where's where are jet packs going, you.

52
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: Know, and where have they been?

53
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: Honest with you, we're still waiting. The jet pack thing

54
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: just never quite.

55
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 4: I mean they're there, yeah, but I mean who's really

56
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 4: got them? Yeah?

57
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: Because you know what, you're right about that res because

58
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: at the nineteen eighty four Olympic Games in La there

59
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: was a guy with a jetpack and it seems to

60
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: come around every ten years.

61
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: I used to work on a Sugg technology show and

62
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: everyone says to me, still the shows have been on

63
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: for years, still say when we're getting our jet packs

64
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: and are flying cars, we've got road rage on a road.

65
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: Why would we put that in the air?

66
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah?

67
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 4: But you know, it comes down to the artificial intelligence

68
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 4: because if you look at all Tesla's stuff, that autonomous

69
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: driving ability, I guess with that autonomous ability was happening

70
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 4: in the sky with all of the you know, the

71
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 4: scanning of what is around you.

72
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: We wouldn't have to do a thing. This thing would

73
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: just go.

74
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: And we're entering a zone now where there are these

75
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 4: pilot drones that you know, and I think they've got

76
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 4: them in do Buy. They're working on sort of like

77
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 4: a taxi situation where you get in and it just

78
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 4: flies you without a pilot to a certain place. That's

79
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 4: pretty frightening, but that's the sort of the that's where

80
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 4: we're going next.

81
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: You're in LA at the moment. Do they have driverless

82
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: cars here? I don't know if i'd trusted. Have you

83
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: been in one?

84
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: Nearly got hit by one? Literally yesterday? Yeah, I'm pulling

85
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 4: out of it. I'm pulling out with my car. And

86
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: you know how sometimes you come out of a car parking,

87
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: you've gone a little bit too far into the main road,

88
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: and you think to yourself, oh, I might have to

89
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 4: go back a bit here because there's a car coming.

90
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: And normally a car would see you and also maybe

91
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 4: you know, would go around you. But I looked at

92
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 4: it and I thought, hang on, that's one of those

93
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: driverless ones. They had a big thing on the roof

94
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: and everything, and so I thought, is that going to

95
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 4: Is that going to swerve around me? So I pulled

96
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 4: back a little bit and as it went, and it went,

97
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: it did not at or and just kept going on

98
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: its exact path and.

99
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Nearly hit me.

100
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 4: Looked inside it not a single driver, and I went,

101
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 4: oh my god.

102
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: An empty car.

103
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, just drive like it's obviously one of those cabs

104
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 4: getting back to its base. But if I hadn't have

105
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 4: pulled back and I reckon it would have you know,

106
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: would it have hit me?

107
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: And who is what details with?

108
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 4: There's not a human involved.

109
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 3: Wow, you send an email, I guess because Amanda, you

110
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 3: saw that one, remember that car and had the red

111
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: and blue lights on the top.

112
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: Here we go.

113
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: It's as A followed you for three states.

114
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I pretended I wasn't in my car, just kept following you.

115
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 3: Reason. It's always good to talk to you. Tickets to

Speaker 3: dot com dot A. I hope there's something about jetpacks.

118
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, mate, Yeah.

119
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 4: I mean I am dealing with technology and where it's

120
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 4: going in the future. I like all that kind of stuff,

121
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: and I like sort of showing me doing it on stage,

122
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 4: but a physicality.

123
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: If you arrived just spitballing this on stage in a

124
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: jet pack on a jet pack with a jet.

125
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: Pack up your insurance before you tried it.

126
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe is there indoor jet packs just so like

127
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 4: training ones, training.

128
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: Jet tack.

129
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 4: Race.

130
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 3: Thank you, nice to talk to you.
