1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Podcasting Now.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: Tom Bellart of the Studio, joining the show today, is

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 2: one of Australia's most loved and respected comedians, easy to

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: talk to us about his brand new show, Grandiloquence. The

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: Oxford Dictionary describes this word as pompous or extravagant in language, style,

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: or manner, especially in a way that.

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: Is intended to impress, and.

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: That definitely describes our special guest, comedian Tom BELLA.

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 3: I didn't know that's what I meant.

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: That's so cool. Thanks guys, welcome back.

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: Why did you call your show grandiloquence?

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 4: Well, yes, I did know that definition, and I thought, well,

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 4: that pretty much sums up my act and I hadn't

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 4: written the show, so I thought that'll do.

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, the cool word. See, we're learning.

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 5: Can we pull down the curtain a little bit and

17
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 5: say that you still haven't written?

18
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: No, that show big on sale.

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 5: I'm really happy to make this transparent people, because people

20
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 5: might not know that when you and see a comedian show,

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 5: and that's right, they have a very generic title and

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, it's not about the title

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 5: at all.

24
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: Hilarious, yes and antics, yes, I think.

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: Toothless, toothless toothless.

26
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, great, we can't talk about.

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 5: Didn't work? Sorry?

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: So what is the show about that you have written

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 3: some of it?

30
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: I have. It's sort of getting much closer to a thing.

31
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: It touches on a range of topics from Netflix to

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 4: me having sex with a witch to.

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: Stop there. Interesting.

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I also talk about Australian politics and climate

35
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: change and ecological collapse.

36
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: But I guess we could talk about me having sex

37
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: with a wik. I think we have to.

38
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: Obviously this is a PG rated show. Sure the actual

39
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: the sex was it witch? Was it witchy? Was it

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: different to muggle sex?

41
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: He went to Hogwarts, which is what I call my penis?

42
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 5: Now?

Speaker 1: A half stars.

95
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 4: That review was from a guy who gave me two

96
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 4: stars in twenty fourteen. Really, I was very satisfying to

97
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 4: receive a blowing review from someone who used to think.

98
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: I was the worst. Well that's really the best.

99
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 5: Like quote from a review that I've ever read on

100
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 5: a comedy show, A blistering hour of motormouth slickers, black

00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: That is wild.

103
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: That's an amazing review. Yeah, and the only review we

104
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: got was I believe that.

105
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 6: The first line was I wasn't expecting much from DJ

106
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 6: Woody after hearing a fart joke of his on air

107
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 6: that day.

108
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I didn't get.

00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: It much, didn't even get that.

110
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're below the art stick, all right.

111
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 5: But Tom, grand eloquence, I've got to see comedy dot

Speaker 5: me and Woody. We're going to be working as a

126
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 5: team together, and we have to try and talk as

127
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 5: seriously as we can about a particular topic.

128
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: Okay, as soon as one of us breaks, we're out. Okay,

129
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: you around laugh. I can't laugh. You can't for me.

130
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: I can't laugh at myself, even though I am Slickers

131
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: black Eyes.

132
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,080

Speaker 6: over here, your new stage name.

134
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: This was really hard for us. So we are going

135
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 3: to have a leaderboard after all of this. Who will

136
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 3: be the comedian that goes the longest without laughing?

137
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. All right, let's go with this story.

138
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 6: Man comes down from pole after seventy eight days. So

139
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 6: a South African man broke a record where he was

140
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 6: on top.

141
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: Of the pole. There's nothing funny about South Africa much.

142
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 6: Absolutely it was so the pole was like it was

143
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 6: a South African pole and he was on top of

144
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 6: that pole for seventy eight days.

145
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: Either of you two, if you've been on top of

146
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: a pole, absolutely pathetic. Actually you let yourself down there.

147
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean truth, he broke.

148
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 3: Have you ever been a good question to us?

149
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 5: Because you know, well there was twenty that was twenty

150
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 5: six seconds. That was twenty six seconds, all right, So Tom,

151
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 5: that was your best time. That'll go on the board

152
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 5: mad like. I didn't break there, by the way. That

153
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 5: was you, so absolutely not, that was you.

154
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 4: You.

155
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: You came there, man.

156
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: I don't know what you were thinking about, but it

157
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 5: was a pretty straight up and down question.

158
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: Tom.

159
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for coming in the studio.

160
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,200
