0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Question.

0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian o'connells show podcast.

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>So we have a date and now very excited. So

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:09.799
<v Speaker 1>we have a venue, a great venue as well for

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>our stand up comedy night with the Difference next week.

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be on Thursday, the seventh of April.

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>This is a stand up comedy night that we're putting on.

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.079
<v Speaker 1>I'll be hosting it and it's for you if you've

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>never done stand it before, but you've always wanted to

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>give it a go, but you've been worried about being

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a hecklored the number one Golden Rulers. There's no heckling.

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>So there is a brilliant comedy club on a Monday

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>night at the local taphouse in Saint Kilda. I've done

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:36.239
<v Speaker 1>you know. It's where comedians go and they try out

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>new material and last minded that their Tony Martmer's up

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>there trying some stuff. It is a brilliant cozy. You

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>know in some pubs they get it right. The atmosphere.

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>As soon as you go in you just feel, I

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know what home there. It's I think cold about it.

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>So I'm super excited that it's the local taphouse that

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>is where we'll be doing it and where all the

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>acts will get onto the very intimate little stage. Sometimes

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>in bigger venues there is gap between you and the

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.040
<v Speaker 1>front row. There's no gap. No, you can see the

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>audience faces and are they laughing? Some nights are there

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>some people decide to rest their feet on the tiny

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>little stage as well. Always annoys me, but anyway, it's

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a property comedy club. This is where the big comics

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>all go and try out new material, and they go

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>there on a Monday night because of the setting in

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>this room. So that's where it's going to be. We're

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>chelly later on this week how he can win your

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>way there. Meet some of the people then who we've

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>already booked to come on, and there are a couple

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>more spots which will be filling up this week. So

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend, the four that we've got on the

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>lineup at the moment, we're giving a homework asks them

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>to spend some time this weekend thinking about the stories

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.479
<v Speaker 1>that they'd like to share up there. So this is Gus,

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 1>who I'm calling the fifteen year old teenage sensation because

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I've seen his act. What he wants to talk about.

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>He's got some great stuff.

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Morning Legends. It's Gus here with another update. He is rifting,

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 3>my friend. I'm not sure that I'm the fifteen year

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 3>old sensation that you ever referred to me as one

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 3>those stories that I want to share. I'm feeling really

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 3>excited about them, really confident. I timed the whole thing.

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 3>I rehearsed them to the family. They were laughing so much,

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:15.959
<v Speaker 3>and that made me feel awesome. That was a really

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 3>nice reaction to see. So all in all, I'm feeling

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 3>awesome about it. It's going to be great. Little bit

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 3>a little bit nervous, but yeah, overall, pretty excited and

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 3>can't wait to get out there. All right, talk soon.

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 4>He's timed it, which means he's ready to go.

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I just thought this would be part of the process.

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I read it yesterday, right, and he goes, it's done.

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>He actually have completed it. I guess it's a computer game. Look,

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>he's completed stand up for he's submitting homework and you're

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>his teacher. So that's fifty year old Gusts. We've also

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>got cold feet, Sam. This was a guy who wanted

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to stand up, went to and open my night and

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>got cold feet. Sam is on the bill.

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 5>Hey Christian, it's cold feed Sam here, good progress made

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 5>this week. The first thing I've been doing is been

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 5>wearing a couple pairs of socks. You stay. I figure

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 5>if I keep those tutsies nice and warm, you know

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.959
<v Speaker 5>I won't get cold feet at your show. The other

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 5>thing is I've been dreaming a lot, and there is

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 5>one recurring dream. It's at the comedy show.

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 5>It's at the end of my set. It pans out

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 5>to the audience and everyone's roaring with laughter. There is

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 5>one problem in that the dream's not showing me what

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 5>I actually said to make them laugh. So yeah, I'm

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 5>hoping over the next few days, I just dreamed that

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 5>part out and yeah, if that works, you know, the

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 5>set will right itself.

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:38.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise, ask Gus. Course it's done. He's got nothing to

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>do for the next week. En off, twiddling time down.

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I've even done that. I think I've ever chimed out

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 2>with anything ever. Now this lady calls herself crazy cat.

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I have to be honestly to speak today. I need

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 2>her blessing to call.

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel comfortable calling her crazy cat, but she

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>does refer to her as crew herself as crazy Cat.

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 1>We call her six foot two cat.

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 4>Christian, it's crazy Cat here. And I've been thinking of

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 4>moments in my laugh that make me laugh. One that

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 4>springs to mind is the time I try to empower

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 4>other tall girls by making a Facebook page called tall

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 4>Girls are Hot to like, you know, advocate and liberate us.

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 4>But it's somehow, over time accidentally become like a fetish

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 4>page where tiny little skinny men started sending pics of

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 4>themselves being carried around by tall, muscly women. Not the

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 4>kind of liberation I was after. Any Who, king got

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 4>to go and check my Facebook messages.

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Than love Cat, She's going to smash it next week

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:45.320
