00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 2: It was? Yeah, it took ages to come up with

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: that side.

10

00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: twenty five years of stand up? I believe your first

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: show was a show in Manchester at the Frog and Bucket.

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: I do love the name of English pubs. Do you

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: remember much about that show?

16
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 4: I remembering about Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell I tell the

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 4: story in this show because this is it's celebrating twenty

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 4: five years since that first over night.

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: And that first over night was never planned. Yo. I

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: wasn't sure who wanted to be comedian.

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 4: I was a month away from being thirty four when

22
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 4: I did that that face gig at the Frog and Bookers,

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 4: and I didn't leave me job. So I was forty,

24
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 4: so I never thought that this would be me, me

25
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 4: real career on my job. So it's a celebration of

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 4: all of that. But in order to celebrate it, what

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 4: I've done in the UK, I've done all of the arenas,

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 4: so all of the biggest venues in the UK. Plus

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 4: I went back to the Frog and Bookers that was

30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 4: on the tour.

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: I love that.

32
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: It's like the Beatles going back to the Kevin Clubs.

33
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's exactly exactly, Russell.

34
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 4: You've said everything that everyone said exactly the same thing,

35
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 4: mainly just me and you have said it.

36
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,279
Speaker 2: But I'm going to I'm going to take that quote

37
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: down for it and everywhere.

38
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: Well I mean that that moment. Uh look just jumping

39
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: forward a little bit here, but at that moment we're

40
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 3: all going to get to see in in January because

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: I made a movie about it.

42
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: Well inspiring yeah, yeah, yeah.

43
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: So if there's a movie coming out called This This

00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 4: Thing Gone, it's got will or Nett in it, who's

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 4: playing the character based on me and Laura dern It

46
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 4: plays the character based on my wife or inspired by

47
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 4: for one of the Best of Friends. Yeah, and they's

48
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 4: directed by Bradley Cooper.

49
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: Pretty amazing.

50
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 4: Bradley Cooper plays the character the best friend of will

51
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: ar Nests so in effect my best friend. I cannot

52
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: tell you how many of my mate acclaiming that Bradley

53
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: Cooper is them.

54
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: What about I want to know how your wife feels

55
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: about Laura Dern because Laura Dern is amazing.

56
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: Well, it's absolutely brilliant. So what happened when Laura got

57
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: the party? You got in touch with my wife. So

58
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 4: this would have been because we had to wait for

59
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 4: Bradley Cooper to finish Maestro, so this would have been

60
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: maybe eighteen month two years ago. Maybe Laura got in

61
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: touch with my wife because we've got mutual friends, and

62
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 4: then met up with her in London and had a

63
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: lunch with it and and just went through everything, and

64
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 4: Laura was taking various notes off Melanie, my wife about

65
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: you know what happened the experience. And there's a particular

66
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 4: scene which is where they're dealing with headlines with the children,

67
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 4: which is just just based on that lunch, just based

68
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 4: on what happened. So yes, so she's Laura is as

69
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 4: close to my wife as my wife is an only child.

70
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: But if she had the sister I think.

71
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: Would be that's fantastic.

72
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 4: It was fantastic. But by the way, just mentioned that

73
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: she's an only child. If there is anyone listening, do

74
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 4: not marry an only child. They've never had a dead leg.

75
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: They don't know how to compromise.

76
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: Good advice. John, Hey, John, just quickly on the movie

77
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: again when you know obviously you know Bradley Cooper directing

78
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: it and everything. He said, we'd like to do a story.

79
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: We'd like to do this movie based on your life story,

80
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: but we just won't do the accent bit, right.

81
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, the thing when we're developing it all, it

82
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 4: was always going to be in America. But there's a

83
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 4: lot of references to Liverpool. Yeah, a lot of references

84
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: in there, and as it happens.

85
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: Will are this.

86
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 4: There's also a Liverpool fan, yeah, which is a little

87
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 4: known fact.

88
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: He's been to anfield, he's been to.

89
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 4: Wats Liverpool and we're gonna go together, I think in January,

90
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 4: to go to a match together.

91
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 3: So he understands the culture, understand the culture.

92
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 4: He understands it. He understands it, but in a smooth

93
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 4: American say right.

94
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: You're in New Zealand at the moment. But many differences

95
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: or likenesses between Ozzie and Kiwi audiences at the shows.

96
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: I think to be honest with it. Yeah, funny is funny. Yeah.

97
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 2: People around the world if something's funny, they laugh at it.

98
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 4: And if you're talking about a relationship or you're sawing

99
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 4: about something that's fun in England it translates I've not

100
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: really found it to be different or difficult.

101
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: I think the difference.

102
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 4: Between the Australian audience and the New Zealand audience is

103
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 4: that we're not playing crickets against this one.

104
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: I mean the atmosphere might be different when I get

105
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: over to page you.

106
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: Are here in the middle of the ashes. Well, I

107
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: think on that note, funny is funny. We will let

108
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: you go and remind everyone that tickets are available through

109
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,880
