Speaker 1: Job mission with Jones and Amanda and oz.

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 2: the States. He's finally returning to Australian Shaws for a

00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: national tour.

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 3: More shows have just been added. That's how popular he is.

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 3: Jim Jeffries, Hello.

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for having me on the show.

8
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 4: Well, it's so great to see that you're coming back

9
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 4: to Australia. How's that all going to manifest? You're in

10
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 4: LA at the moment, and then you'll come back here,

11
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 4: You'll do your quarantine and then I'll push you out

12
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 4: on stage and that's it.

13
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to Actually it is more to it

14
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: than that. I'm going to be quarantining with my wife,

15
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: who's six and a half months pregnant at that stage.

16
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: So I hope the food they give us is good

17
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: because I could be living with a very testy person.

18
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: Oh. Absolutely.

19
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: Just to give us the backstory, Jim, how long have

20
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: you been living in the States and how long is

21
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: it since you've performed here.

22
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: I've been well, I've been then calmly for about twenty

23
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: three years. The first ten years were in the UK,

24
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: than the last sort of thirteen years have been in America,

25
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: and I was in Australia doing shows three years ago,

26
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: and you know, back in the care free days before

27
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: COVID and before Australia was on fire and all that

28
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: type of stuff. So luckily all those things that happened

29
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: and I have some more materials in then.

30
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: You're a very brave man.

31
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: Many of us, I think would probably know you best

32
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: for the for the incredible stand up you do, but

33
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: it's it's also so knowledgeable about the American gun laws

34
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: and so insightful American audiences who go to see you.

35
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: Are they on your side with this stuff or do

36
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: they get riled?

37
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: Some of them are on my side and that's nice,

38
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: But the ones who aren't on my side have guns,

39
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: so that's a lot less you know I did. I

40
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: do a lot of shows like Texas and stuff like that.

41
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 1: I have a no gun policy in my audience because

42
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm a bit of a pussy. And in my no

43
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: gun policy, we say to everyone they got it. You know,

44
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: they've got to tag their guns and they can get

45
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: them back at the end of school, you know what

46
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: I mean. And we build like a tupperwork like a

47
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: great big cub with guns and everything. It was quite humorous.

48
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: But one time, one time I was doing a show

49
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: in Texas and there was a there was a real

50
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: threat that someone was going to have a gun in

51
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: the audience and do something. So we rang the police

52
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: up and all that type of stuff, and in the

53
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: end I employed a whole lot of cops, like on

54
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: their off day, but they came in uniform. I paid

55
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: the money myself, and they all stood at the edge

56
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: of the stage, and they stood at all the doors

57
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: and all that type of stuff. And before I went on,

58
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: they're all being briefed in the room next door to

59
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: me about what they had to do, and the cybersant

60
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: were staying in front of him. He said, okay, we

61
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: need one carp at this door and one carp at

62
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: this door, and we need four at the edge of

63
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: the stage. And then one of the cops said excuse me,

64
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: So you go, why do we have to do this?

65
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: And he goes, well, this particular comedian has been getting

66
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: death threats, and he goes, why's he been getting death threats?

67
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: And he goes because he feaks out for gun control.

68
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: And then the other one went, well, maybe he's learned

69
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: to shut he's epping now it's pretty confident those guys

70
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: are going to protect me. People say there's no gun control,

71
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: but there is some gun control. There's things like you

72
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: can't put a bayonet on the end of your gun.

73
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: Heaven forbid, your gun got a bit pointy. Stabby with

74
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: your gun. You don't want a stabby. Guns don't can

75
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: get injured.

76
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: So with your material in Australia, will you be talking

77
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: about what you've learnt from your years in the States.

78
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: I will. I will be doing a bit of that.

79
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: But I've been writing a lot of jokes about Australia,

80
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: you know. I try to keep up on Australian news

81
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: and what have you, and try to sort of engineer

82
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: the show so it's more for the Australian people. Australians

83
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: just they're a bit more home proud of me. I

84
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: still feel like I remember Billy Connley once said that

85
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: whenever he played in Glasgow he was always worried because

86
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: one of his unties might be in the audience, And

87
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: I feel the same thing in Australia lifetime. I was

88
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: there my godmother who was eighty five years old, and

89
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen for about twenty years. Since I've become

90
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: it's much furdler. And he thought you could show up

91
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: to the gigs to surprise me. I could hardly perform

92
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: though she was.

93
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: In the order keep all the swear count down.

94
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: Oh I never let me mom my mum was never

95
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: allowed in the room. She could sit backstage or in

96
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: the wings, but she couldn't be anywhere I could see her.

97
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: But you're a bit of a coward in that.

98
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: But you've got that Australian way of being able to

99
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: swear mid word, which is that that's that's a gift

100
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 4: that not many people, not many people outside of Australia

101
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: can master.

102
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: A well, it's a little bit of a thing. We

103
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: can say swear words they can't say. I'll tell you

104
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: what about Australians, right, we're very particular about our speech.

105
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: So all over the world we have people a greetings

106
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: like a lohar or canitch you are Banjore or whatever,

107
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: and they're very happy when you're in their culture and

108
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: you give them their greeting. They think that person put

109
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: a bit of effidy. In Australia we have the good

110
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: a mate or even just the term mate, and we

111
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: like to use it. For heaven forbid, an American tried

112
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: to call your mate. It's chickens did when they go,

113
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: they go, hell, old mate, and you go say that word,

114
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: but not your word. We'll sell you a t shirt

115
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: with they've written it on. But heaven forbid he say

116
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: the word. It's the N word, it's our words.

117
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 4: Can exactly right on. Well, Jim, it's great to talk

118
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: to you, and we're were so looking forward to seeing

119
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 4: you coming, says and congratulations. More shows being put on.

120
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 4: People can't get enough of Jim Jeffries. You've got to

121
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 4: see him. Tickets to see him this June and July

Speaker 4: Studio, we'd love to have you on live. It'd be great.

125
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: I'd love to go. And I'm surprised we'll put two

126
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: extra shows on. You know, I'm quite amazed. I thought

127
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: with Cory would be hard to sell these tickets. But

128
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: I'm very happy with how it's going over there. I

129
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: can't wait to get back to Australia.

130
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: Well, your mom said you'll be sitting front and shed

131
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: it just as you like it.

132
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean me mom died two years ago.

Speaker 1: Oh rats.

135
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 3: Well let's hope quarantine with a pregnant wife goes better.

136
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: So as as we awkwardly wrap this up, well, Jim

137
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,920
