1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:00,840
Speaker 1: Question.

2
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian o'connells show podcast.

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: So we have a date and now very excited. So

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: we have a venue, a great venue as well for

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: our stand up comedy night with the Difference next week.

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: It's going to be on Thursday, the seventh of April.

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: This is a stand up comedy night that we're putting on.

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: I'll be hosting it and it's for you if you've

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: never done stand it before, but you've always wanted to

10
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: give it a go, but you've been worried about being

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: a hecklored the number one Golden Rulers. There's no heckling.

12
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: So there is a brilliant comedy club on a Monday

13
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: night at the local taphouse in Saint Kilda. I've done

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: you know. It's where comedians go and they try out

15
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: new material and last minded that their Tony Martmer's up

16
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: there trying some stuff. It is a brilliant cozy. You

17
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: know in some pubs they get it right. The atmosphere.

18
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: As soon as you go in you just feel, I

19
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: don't know what home there. It's I think cold about it.

20
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: So I'm super excited that it's the local taphouse that

21
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: is where we'll be doing it and where all the

22
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: acts will get onto the very intimate little stage. Sometimes

23
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: in bigger venues there is gap between you and the

24
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: front row. There's no gap. No, you can see the

25
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: audience faces and are they laughing? Some nights are there

26
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: some people decide to rest their feet on the tiny

27
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: little stage as well. Always annoys me, but anyway, it's

28
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: a property comedy club. This is where the big comics

29
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: all go and try out new material, and they go

30
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: there on a Monday night because of the setting in

31
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: this room. So that's where it's going to be. We're

32
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: chelly later on this week how he can win your

33
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: way there. Meet some of the people then who we've

34
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: already booked to come on, and there are a couple

35
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: more spots which will be filling up this week. So

36
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: over the weekend, the four that we've got on the

37
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: lineup at the moment, we're giving a homework asks them

38
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: to spend some time this weekend thinking about the stories

39
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: that they'd like to share up there. So this is Gus,

40
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: who I'm calling the fifteen year old teenage sensation because

41
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: I've seen his act. What he wants to talk about.

42
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: He's got some great stuff.

43
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: Morning Legends. It's Gus here with another update. He is rifting,

44
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: my friend. I'm not sure that I'm the fifteen year

45
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: old sensation that you ever referred to me as one

46
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: those stories that I want to share. I'm feeling really

47
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 3: excited about them, really confident. I timed the whole thing.

48
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: I rehearsed them to the family. They were laughing so much,

49
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 3: and that made me feel awesome. That was a really

50
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: nice reaction to see. So all in all, I'm feeling

51
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: awesome about it. It's going to be great. Little bit

52
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: a little bit nervous, but yeah, overall, pretty excited and

53
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: can't wait to get out there. All right, talk soon.

54
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 4: He's timed it, which means he's ready to go.

55
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

56
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: I just thought this would be part of the process.

57
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: I read it yesterday, right, and he goes, it's done.

58
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: He actually have completed it. I guess it's a computer game. Look,

59
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: he's completed stand up for he's submitting homework and you're

60
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: his teacher. So that's fifty year old Gusts. We've also

61
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: got cold feet, Sam. This was a guy who wanted

62
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: to stand up, went to and open my night and

63
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: got cold feet. Sam is on the bill.

64
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 5: Hey Christian, it's cold feed Sam here, good progress made

65
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 5: this week. The first thing I've been doing is been

66
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 5: wearing a couple pairs of socks. You stay. I figure

67
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 5: if I keep those tutsies nice and warm, you know

68
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 5: I won't get cold feet at your show. The other

69
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 5: thing is I've been dreaming a lot, and there is

70
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 5: one recurring dream. It's at the comedy show.

71
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: You know.

72
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 5: It's at the end of my set. It pans out

73
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 5: to the audience and everyone's roaring with laughter. There is

74
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 5: one problem in that the dream's not showing me what

75
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 5: I actually said to make them laugh. So yeah, I'm

76
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 5: hoping over the next few days, I just dreamed that

77
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 5: part out and yeah, if that works, you know, the

78
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 5: set will right itself.

79
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

80
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: Otherwise, ask Gus. Course it's done. He's got nothing to

81
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: do for the next week. En off, twiddling time down.

82
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: I've even done that. I think I've ever chimed out

83
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: with anything ever. Now this lady calls herself crazy cat.

84
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: I have to be honestly to speak today. I need

85
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: her blessing to call.

86
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't feel comfortable calling her crazy cat, but she

87
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: does refer to her as crew herself as crazy Cat.

88
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: We call her six foot two cat.

89
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: Christian, it's crazy Cat here. And I've been thinking of

90
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 4: moments in my laugh that make me laugh. One that

91
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 4: springs to mind is the time I try to empower

92
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 4: other tall girls by making a Facebook page called tall

93
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 4: Girls are Hot to like, you know, advocate and liberate us.

94
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: But it's somehow, over time accidentally become like a fetish

95
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 4: page where tiny little skinny men started sending pics of

96
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: themselves being carried around by tall, muscly women. Not the

97
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: kind of liberation I was after. Any Who, king got

98
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 4: to go and check my Facebook messages.

99
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: Than love Cat, She's going to smash it next week

100
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: like she is going to just kill next week Cat. Brilliant, brilliant,
