I've left the world of comedy now. 10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: I'm a latter day guru trying to create a cult. 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 2: That's how I see my future. And I want people 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 2: to come along and I'm going to inculcate them into 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: my cult by telling them to embrace their limitations. 14 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: I think the name's already there. We can be the Moonies, 15 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: your followers. 16 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: Molding really well Korean cult and no weirdness in my cult, 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: no force anything, just hanging out, I know, having a 18 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: couple of EMU exports and really embracing your limitations. No 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 2: free nikes. Remember that one had to cut off their 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: jats crackers for a pair of Nikes, and I would 21 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: have thought there's an easier way to get Nike. I 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 2: think I'd rather run on the hot coals with Tony Robins. Mate, 23 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: well that's where it all started crazy for me. I'm 24 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 2: self help addict and I supoke to you when I 25 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: was over in Perth launching the books that has spurned 26 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: or spawned rather the stage show embracing your limitations and 27 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: it's with me. You know, a drama school up at 28 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,279 Speaker 2: two o'clock in the morning, having a the odd cone, 29 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: watching Tony Robbins and then going do you want to 30 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: embrace your power? Do you want to change your life's like? Yes, 31 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: Tony change everything? Yes, they do. But I'm just going 32 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: to have a sleep in this morning. 33 00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: Tomorrow I'll do it. 34 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 3: And now o. 35 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: Procrastination is one of the limitations that most of us 36 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: are subject to, but we need to embrace too. 37 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: She'll be right, mate, that's the thing I'm consistent with. 38 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 2: I bet you're an active procrastinat too. Where you go, 39 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: this is the job that I've got to do. But 40 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: I'm going to dice in the house. I'm going to 41 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 2: have a car wash, to pick up some dry cleaning 42 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: and do a little bit of a shop before I 43 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 2: settle down to that important job. So you think that 44 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: you've achieved a lot, but in fact you've just put 45 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: it off for another day. And that's what this show 46 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 2: is all about, embracing limitations. You know. For example, I'll 47 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: give you a little taster of the show. There's a 48 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: man called loo Zoo, a very ancient prophet that said 49 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 2: the true traveler is not intent on arriving and has 50 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: no true destination. Well, I would say to low Zoo, 51 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: you've never flown a budget line to a resort, because 52 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: that's what it's all about, the destination. Once you put 53 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 2: up with being you know, disdained by somebody that couldn't 54 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 2: get a job at Quantus or Virgin and making you 55 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: pay extra for your two kilos over, you think it's 56 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 2: all about the destination. Then there's the most on those planes. 57 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: Once upon a time it was Tiger. I think we 58 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: all know who we're talking about. Yes, And surely this 59 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: couple squeezing their way down the aisle aren't going to 60 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: sit next to Yes, here they come. And I had 61 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: a guy recently get into the seat beside me and 62 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: he was, you know, he was well over my arm 63 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: wrest and he had an amazing device. He turned to 64 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: me and goes, I know I'm massive, and I'm really 65 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: sorry he. 66 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: Said that to me, So I had to do that. 67 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, you're not fine. But actually 68 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: it was a really good device because it disarmed any 69 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: of the internal monologue that I had, which wasn't that generous, 70 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: and it made the experience a lot more human. And 71 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: then I thought, of course he's thinking that, and he 72 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: knows that everybody's thinking it, and I thought it's a 73 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 2: great idea. Anyway, Uh, we've finally wedged himself out of 74 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: that seat because it was a perth light. 75 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: He didn't have to go to the toilet. 76 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: Oh well, there was a there was a cheesiness to 77 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: the waft that he left. It was like maive unit 78 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: and you've been sweating for four hours on the blue 79 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: vein into it. Anyway, on that note, we're all about 80 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: just resolving ourselves to ourselves and having a laugh other 81 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 2: people's expense, you know. That's what comedy is about, and so. 82 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: Much about the journey about arriving at the White Lotus Hotel, 83 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: isn't it, Lawrence? 84 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: Just enjoying yourself on the white Loader. 85 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: Water.
