Speaker 5: on social media.
Speaker 3: But where do you get your ideas from?
Speaker 5: Because I feel like you jump around, you do so
Speaker 5: many different content creations. There's so many different characters on
Speaker 5: your social media. But where does the where does the
Speaker 5: thought come from?
Speaker 3: The spark?
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I think it's just living life really, you know,
Speaker 4: everywhere you look, it's just having like a looking through
Speaker 4: the lens of everything could be a piece of content,
Speaker 4: I guess and writing things down when you but how
Speaker 4: many times do you just have a laugh at timey
Speaker 4: like and then you forget about it in one second.
Speaker 4: So at some of those moments you just just chop down.
Speaker 4: I've got three kids, man, it is like I'm a parent.
Speaker 4: I travel around a bit. I meet a whole lot
Speaker 4: of different people.
Speaker 6: You know, I speak to random people on radio stations.
Speaker 2: You know, Jimmy, the one thing that you didn't turn
Speaker 2: into content that shocked me the last time I saw you.
Speaker 1: Do you remember this?
Speaker 2: Last time I was with Jimmy Reese was at around
Speaker 2: one am at a gay bar in TikTok Awards, the
Speaker 2: TikTok Awards.
Speaker 1: This was after the TikTok Awards and I was at
Speaker 1: a gay bar. I think, yeah, we were wandering.
Speaker 3: Around and just when you had a hand no being
Speaker 3: a puppet.
Speaker 1: It was that late that night. Hearing that night, well,
Speaker 1: it was funny.
Speaker 7: You asked me like multiple times, You're like, what are
Speaker 7: you doing here? I do you think I was seeing
Speaker 7: you here in the middle of Sydney in the gaber
Speaker 7: And I was like, dude, we've just been to the
Speaker 7: TikTok Awards and this is where the beer is at,
Speaker 7: Like we're going where the beers are at.
Speaker 2: I was just so shocked because I was in my
Speaker 2: single era. I was very single at that point in time,
Speaker 2: and I was, you know, on the prow and then
Speaker 2: I see this man from behind.
Speaker 1: I go, just my time.
Speaker 3: You know, Jimmy has children and it's happily in a relationship.
Speaker 2: I saw his peachy button, went, oh my god, that's
Speaker 2: my that's my score. And then it was Jimmy reason.
Speaker 2: I felt like, oh, it's a like Patty Newton, like
Speaker 2: a national treasure. I had to run away.
Speaker 4: Start there.
Speaker 2: You really can do it all the stand up tour,
Speaker 2: which you here to plug, let's get regional. The tour
Speaker 2: is on until July this year Frontier Touring dot com
Speaker 2: for tickets. So for people who follow you, Jimmy, like
Speaker 2: Laura was saying, your videos are huge.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you do so many different things, Like you
Speaker 5: cover so many different little topics in your videos.
Speaker 3: So then what is it that you're going to do
Speaker 3: on stage?
Speaker 4: That is the conundrum, which is putting a show together.
Speaker 6: I think, you know, like I've taken some of the
Speaker 6: character things like the guy who decides this and that
Speaker 6: with Jason that goes in there.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 6: I just make it, let it go free form, because
Speaker 6: if I regurgitated something that people had seen before, I
Speaker 6: felt like, you know, that's just something that's a bit cheap.
Speaker 6: I guess that people have come to see something a
Speaker 6: bit different, So that whole section, it's about ten minutes
Speaker 6: or something, is just completely ad lived. People yell out
Speaker 6: suggestions and I just run with the two characters. I
Speaker 6: love that I do a meanwhile in Australia, which people
Speaker 6: have a lot of people were into to my content
Speaker 6: through that, so I kind of make one live which
Speaker 6: goes horribly wrong all of the time, and that's part
Speaker 6: of the part of the charm of it. I guess
Speaker 6: I do some local content, Like the first it is
Speaker 6: like you have to pass the test to get into
Speaker 6: the local town you're in, So there's a bit of
Speaker 6: there's a few local gags there, and then oh god,
Speaker 6: there's all sorts of other bits, me talking to myself
Speaker 6: on screens and just some chats with the audience, a
Speaker 6: bit about my life, my time at Giggle and who has.
Speaker 5: A bit of everything, Jimmy, you have I think one
Speaker 5: of the things that's so interesting about your career projection
Speaker 5: is like you working mainstream media and now you've taken
Speaker 5: it all into social media.
Speaker 3: What do you prefer.
Speaker 5: Do you prefer working and being on TV or are
Speaker 5: you preferring being sort of in the social media landscape.
Speaker 6: It's so funny having just gone from you know, like
Speaker 6: making TV and look Gigglin who was actually quite a
Speaker 6: quick show, to turn around and say we are going
Speaker 6: the stars. You're like, it's a live show. It's really crazy.
Speaker 6: But the stuff I'm doing now, if I have an
Speaker 6: idea in the morning, it's posted by mid afternoon.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I got down to TV and You're like, this is
Speaker 6: so long and tedious. I worked on a I just
Speaker 6: did a little film like We'd Stand. I was just
Speaker 6: like a little cameo in it, and I was there
Speaker 6: for three days or something, and I was in it
Speaker 6: for about thirty seconds.
Speaker 4: I was like, this is so frustrating to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's why we love radio.
Speaker 3: Live, we talk, we go home, always speak for four
Speaker 3: minutes at a time.
Speaker 2: Jimmy, Laura and I haven't spoken to each other outside
Speaker 2: of Soundproof Box for about five years.
Speaker 1: I hate it. We hate each other. No, silly, it's
Speaker 1: just like non existent. Jimmy rees.
