Speaker 1: From the Netflix smash hit. Travels with My Father Jack

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: and Michael Whitehall are going to be live at the

00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,559

00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,200

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: Good morning, Hey, welcome Jack.

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 3: Good morning, Hey. How are you good?

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: Very well?

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: So you're an award winning comedian, actor and writer. How

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: did that initial conversation go about going traveling with Dad?

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, yeah, he has sort of reluctantly been

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 3: dragged into the spotlight by me. I used to make

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: a lot of jokes in my stand up material about

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 3: him and throw him under the bus pretty relentlessly and

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 3: the venture I thought it was only fair to give

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 3: him a right of reply, so invited him up on

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 3: the stage with me and it was the worst mistake ever.

17
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: Me.

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 4: What's it light touring with Dad? And does he have

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 4: a backstage rider that's more risky than yours?

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's certainly slightly different pace to when

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: I toured myself now and the rider is he always

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 3: wants two bottles of crystal champagne in every dressing room

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: and a defibrillator. He also always claims that he wants

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 3: the champagne because he says, in case I have any

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 3: friends in I'm like, you're not going to have friends

26
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 3: when you get a purse, Like you don't have any

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: friends in England? Like you have one friend. He's called

28
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: Neil Stacey and he lives in Bath. So when we

29
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 3: do Bath, maybe get two bottles of champagne. But we

30
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: don't need one for every single night of the tour.

31
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: I mean he's got some friends, mind you having, you know,

32
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: formed two production companies and represented the likes of Judy

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: Dench and my favorite actor of all time, Daniel d

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: Lewis disease.

35
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they all fired in there in the end. I

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: mean all of those relationships ended in fallout. So there's

37
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: definitely none of them are going to be coming to

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: see the show because he'll probably be slagging them all

39
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: off anyway for taking ninety percent of his earnings. That

40
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: was what he used to say about the actors that

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: he represented.

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: Okay, some good stories.

43
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, we know Dad likes to do shad advice. But

44
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: does it ever end?

45
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: No, no, no, he would go on all night. Like

46
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: when I do these live shows as well, like I

47
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: have to try and keep some kind of control over proceedings.

48
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: Otherwise it would literally just go on and on, and

49
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: often the same anecdote you get twice in the same night,

50
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: that's happened a few times before.

51
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, says they get older, can tell you the same

52
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: story the next week. My mom just turned out.

53
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: Trust me, You and Michael Field a season of travels

54
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: with my father in Australia during a previous tour. Are

55
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: there any particular plans that you didn't get around to

56
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: on that one that you want to do this time

57
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: you're in the country.

58
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 3: I mean we had a Yeah, we had a pretty

59
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: great time when we were there. I mean, Michael's never

60
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: been to Quaker Island, so I might take him there

61
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: when we go, because I think I think the Quaker

62
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 3: is his natural spirit animal. I reckon it would be

63
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: nice country maybe to get the Corcas.

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: Really do smile, Jack, it is oh jokes aside.

65
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: It is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

66
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: There's nothing like the color of the water around Rottnest. Yeah,

67
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: Corocker Island sounds like a movie.

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: Jack.

69
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: Firstly, it is wonderful. You've got you know, your father

70
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 4: now young Elsie and Dad. I'm sure gave you plenty

71
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 4: of advice, but nothing can prepare you for how kiddies

72
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 4: look when they first came out, can they There's nothing there?

73
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 4: You know, when they're not exactly instantly instagrammable? Are these children?

74
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: You know?

75
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: I wish someone had given me the heads up that

76
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: they don't come out of the other looking starbek quality.

77
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: And Elsie was off to a very slow start. She's

78
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: blossomed now and she looks very, very pretty. But yeah,

79
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: when she first came out, it was it was a

80
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: bit of a shock to me. I was expecting them

81
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: to sort of clean her up a little bit. Well,

82
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: I think it was the fact that she was just,

83
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: you know, just very sort of covered in stuff and

84
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: the chord hanging out like she was still on charge,

85
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: and I was all a bit overwhelmed.

86
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes the Misshape.

87
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jack, what can you tell us about your Christmas

88
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: comedy special that's coming out on Prime Video on December third?

89
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: I believe you have Mister Christmas Michael Bubla involved in that.

90
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: Indeed, it's got you know, we've got some great guests,

91
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: call Michael Booblo, who got Deve Bautista. Rebel Wilson is

92
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 3: in a sketch as well. Unfortunately I tempt my horrendous

93
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: Australian accent in that, which I think she remarked was

94
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: culturally insensitive. So that'll be a little teat for everyone.

95
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: Our culture is not to get that insensitive.

96
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: Well used to yea.

97
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: Of ended half of the country by doing a load

98
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: of Uber adverts where they encouraged me to slag off

99
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: various cities in Australia. I ended up getting a load

100
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: of abuse on social media you from people going what

101
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 3: if you want your problem with Brisbane? I have no

102
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 3: problem with Brisbane. Someone just told me it would be funny.

Speaker 3: Brisbane to Perth.

108
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely well, that would be a good travel with my

109
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: father right in the backseat of an Uber all the way.

110
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: From Brisbane to Perth. I think that would be the

111
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: end of the show, at the end of the and

112
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,599
