<v Speaker 5>It's exactly the same as Mitch. I was just about

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 5>the for the role Jimmy. I love your content and

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.200

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 5>on social media.

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 3>But where do you get your ideas from?

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 5>Because I feel like you jump around, you do so

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 5>many different content creations. There's so many different characters on

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 5>your social media. But where does the where does the

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 5>thought come from?

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 3>The spark?

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, look, I think it's just living life really, you know,

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 4>everywhere you look, it's just having like a looking through

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 4>the lens of everything could be a piece of content,

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 4>I guess and writing things down when you but how

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 4>many times do you just have a laugh at timey

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 4>like and then you forget about it in one second.

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 4>So at some of those moments you just just chop down.

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 4>I've got three kids, man, it is like I'm a parent.

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 4>I travel around a bit. I meet a whole lot

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 4>of different people.

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 6>You know, I speak to random people on radio stations.

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, Jimmy, the one thing that you didn't turn

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.079
<v Speaker 2>into content that shocked me the last time I saw you.

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember this?

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Last time I was with Jimmy Reese was at around

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 2>one am at a gay bar in TikTok Awards, the

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 2>TikTok Awards.

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>This was after the TikTok Awards and I was at

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>a gay bar. I think, yeah, we were wandering.

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 3>Around and just when you had a hand no being

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 3>a puppet.

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>It was that late that night. Hearing that night, well,

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>it was funny.

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 7>You asked me like multiple times, You're like, what are

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 7>you doing here? I do you think I was seeing

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 7>you here in the middle of Sydney in the gaber

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 7>And I was like, dude, we've just been to the

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 7>TikTok Awards and this is where the beer is at,

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 7>Like we're going where the beers are at.

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>I was just so shocked because I was in my

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>single era. I was very single at that point in time,

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 2>and I was, you know, on the prow and then

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I see this man from behind.

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>I go, just my time.

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, Jimmy has children and it's happily in a relationship.

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I saw his peachy button, went, oh my god, that's

0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 2>my that's my score. And then it was Jimmy reason.

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 2>I felt like, oh, it's a like Patty Newton, like

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 2>a national treasure. I had to run away.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 4>Start there.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 2>You really can do it all the stand up tour,

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 2>which you here to plug, let's get regional. The tour

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 2>is on until July this year Frontier Touring dot com

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 2>for tickets. So for people who follow you, Jimmy, like

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Laura was saying, your videos are huge.

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but you do so many different things, Like you

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 5>cover so many different little topics in your videos.

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 3>So then what is it that you're going to do

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 3>on stage?

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 4>That is the conundrum, which is putting a show together.

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:31.679
<v Speaker 6>I think, you know, like I've taken some of the

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 6>character things like the guy who decides this and that

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 6>with Jason that goes in there.

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>I do.

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 6>I just make it, let it go free form, because

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 6>if I regurgitated something that people had seen before, I

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 6>felt like, you know, that's just something that's a bit cheap.

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 6>I guess that people have come to see something a

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 6>bit different, So that whole section, it's about ten minutes

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 6>or something, is just completely ad lived. People yell out

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 6>suggestions and I just run with the two characters. I

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 6>love that I do a meanwhile in Australia, which people

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 6>have a lot of people were into to my content

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 6>through that, so I kind of make one live which

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 6>goes horribly wrong all of the time, and that's part

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 6>of the part of the charm of it. I guess

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 6>I do some local content, Like the first it is

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 6>like you have to pass the test to get into

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 6>the local town you're in, So there's a bit of

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 6>there's a few local gags there, and then oh god,

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 6>there's all sorts of other bits, me talking to myself

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 6>on screens and just some chats with the audience, a

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 6>bit about my life, my time at Giggle and who has.

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 5>A bit of everything, Jimmy, you have I think one

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 5>of the things that's so interesting about your career projection

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.720
<v Speaker 5>is like you working mainstream media and now you've taken

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 5>it all into social media.

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 3>What do you prefer.

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 5>Do you prefer working and being on TV or are

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.920
<v Speaker 5>you preferring being sort of in the social media landscape.

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 6>It's so funny having just gone from you know, like

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 6>making TV and look Gigglin who was actually quite a

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.279
<v Speaker 6>quick show, to turn around and say we are going

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 6>the stars. You're like, it's a live show. It's really crazy.

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 6>But the stuff I'm doing now, if I have an

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 6>idea in the morning, it's posted by mid afternoon.

0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:04:58.279 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 6>I got down to TV and You're like, this is

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 6>so long and tedious. I worked on a I just

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 6>did a little film like We'd Stand. I was just

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 6>like a little cameo in it, and I was there

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 6>for three days or something, and I was in it

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 6>for about thirty seconds.

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 4>I was like, this is so frustrating to me.

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, that's why we love radio.

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.600
<v Speaker 3>Live, we talk, we go home, always speak for four

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 3>minutes at a time.
