1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: This is jam Nation with Jonesy and Land. 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 2: Well he's back and he's got plenty to say. He's 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 2: one of our favorite comedians and lucky for us, he's 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 2: got a comedy show. Plus Gruen's coming back with some 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 2: election specials. It's all happening for Will Anderson, Will Hollo, 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 2: it is. 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: Oh, good morning, Amanda and Jonesy. Thank you so much 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: for having me. Yes, it's all happening at once. After 9 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: two years of nothing happening, Everything's all happening at the 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 1: same time. 11 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 3: And is it a case of you've been sitting there thinking, 12 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 3: are great, nothing's happening, nothing's happening, and now are great, 13 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 3: everything's happening. 14 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: It is one of those things where the lesson of 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, particularly for people who haven't 16 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: had regular employment. And I'm a free lancer of course, 17 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: and so it really has been. I mean this weekend 18 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: is a good example. In Sydney. On Friday and Saturday night, 19 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: I'm doing my new show, which is the one I've 20 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: just done at the Melbourne Comedy Festival for a month. 21 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: But on the Sunday night I'm doing the show I 22 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: was meant to do last year. Cancer, So it's such 23 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: a weird world we live in where you're doing last 24 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: year's show and this year's show in the same weekend 25 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: for the very first time. 26 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: Well, it sounds terrifying to me. Which one of the 27 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: shows is seventy minutes of improvised material that sounds like 28 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: the stuff of nightmares for most performance, how do you 29 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 2: even tackle that? 30 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: Well, what I like to say to the Amanda is 31 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: I promise them an hour of quality of material, no 32 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: matter how long it takes me. And so really it's 33 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: just persistence. If you're willing to keep going, you can 34 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: find the labs eventually. But now, these improvised shows are 35 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: my favorite shows to do. In fact, I used to 36 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: get really resentful because there were to be audience members 37 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: who've come up to me and say, you know, I've 38 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: been seeing you for fifteen years, but these improvise shows 39 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: are my favorite. And I was always like, I work 40 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: really hard on those shows. I just make up on 41 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: the spot. But there's something about being in a room 42 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: for a show that has been solely created for that 43 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: room that night, that is never going to be repeated 44 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: again that is really magical. It's a shared experience. It 45 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: really feels like now that we're going back to live entertainment, 46 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: the live entertainment needs to be something more than what 47 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: you can just experience like on streaming or at home 48 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: in your living room watching somebody's near Netflix special or 49 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: something like that. So I feel like when people make 50 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 1: the effort to come out and see me, I want 51 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 1: that live event to be actually something that they will 52 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: remember for a very long time. 53 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 3: And you're back for TV as well with two specials 54 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: of gruin Nation. So ahead of the federal election, who 55 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 3: are you feeling? What are you feeling election wise at 56 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 3: the moment, because it just feels to me that Scomo 57 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: can't take a trick, like he's just become the subject 58 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 3: of so many memes and stuff like that. 59 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, is the thing. I mean, finally he's 60 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: got something wrong. I mean, after three years of not 61 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,399 Speaker 1: making a mistake, like he's had a couple of little 62 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: stumbles in this election campaign. But this is hard for 63 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: him because normally in a time where the nation really 64 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: needs his like leadership, he's in Hawaii, so he must 65 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: be really freaking out about having to be in Australia, 66 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: having to go around Australia meet Australians, hear their actual problems. 67 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that we have enough empathy 68 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: for what Schomo is going through at the moment. That's 69 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: what I would say. 70 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 2: I don't need the country, mate, it's not my job. 71 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 3: It's not my job. And look at you guys. You 72 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 3: do in the pilot. But you know what I mean, 73 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: you look at all those every meme site. It's got 74 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 3: scomo and he can't win this election. 75 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: I don't think. 76 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: Well, he's got all of Murdock behind him, so you 77 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: can't say poor guy can't win a trick. He's got 78 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: an entire new national newspaper outlet behind him, is. 79 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: A news organization that controls ninety percent of the Australian media. 80 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: Really equivalent to some funny meanings, I don't think so. 81 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: I mean, these memes could really help. He's introduced to 82 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: what a meme is and someone shows him what a 83 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: meme is. 84 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 3: Well, mate, we always love talking to the new show. 85 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: What you talk about? Will is on at the End 86 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 3: More tickets from Tickeer tech dot com dot Au and 87 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 3: the end More is the greatest place in the world 88 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 3: to perform. I've been there. I've performed at the end 89 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 3: More in the nude. 90 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: By the way the rolling Stones performed at the end. 91 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: More so, that's what you share with the role. I 92 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: believed that they were not in the mood the red 93 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: hot chili peppers. They might have been in the Nord. 94 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: Everyone had their share of wrinkles. 95 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 3: That's the trifector right there. 96 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: Good idea, Will, thanks will, thank you.
