Today, the boys are joined by the legendary Weird L. Yankovic. They try and move in on Weird L's turf while also introducing him to some Australian culinary delicacies. Hello listeners, it's is sometimes a guest. We hope you enjoy the part of the fucking podcast. Hello listeners, it's Auntie Donna.

We're in our fancy studio with Mark and Zach. Hello, Broden. It's me, Zach. Yes. Hi, Broden. It's me, Mark. I'm Mark. Hey, Zach.

It's me, Zach, from Auntie Donna. And we're here in a fancy studio. Now, this week's concept, we thought we'd go back and do an old version, I know what we've done before in the past, which is write a parody song. During COVID, I think we spent three to four weeks of the podcast, writing needs stock. We need stock, that's right. Yeah, rather than to the music of TikTok like Kesha. Yeah.

And we spent ages laboring through the lyrics and writing it. And I remember what we came to was the, well, we couldn't agree on what stock, what form of the word stock to use, whether it was investing in stocks or like a chicken stock. Yeah. And I remember that was a compromise.

We almost broke up. Yeah, and we almost, because that to me, it didn't quite, it was just a little too complicated. Yeah, and we got to the end. And also the only, because of COVID and the Zoom link, the only person who could sing it was Mark. And he used auto tune, an auto tune filter on his computer. Need stock, check the clock, need to go to the shops and get stock that I'm afraid that I still need to trade. Trading stock, well buying stock, because the market doesn't stop.

No, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I want to say, you know, a lot of people think that we're not seeing the comments, we're not hearing the, but we saw the comments and we know how bad you thought it was. Everyone listening knows how bad our, in their parody music was. I really like that. In our opinion, and in fact, it was bad.

In your opinion, the list that, in my opinion, in Broden's opinion, and in objective fact. Yeah, in like numbers, one plus one equals two. It was bad. So in our attempt to do another parody song, we thought we would invite someone who's written, someone who's done it before, and arguably, equal levels.

Pretty successful. Oh, I guess that equal level with us is probably a parody song. It's slightly, I don't want to be like, this is not to brown nose. But I think again, objectively, more successful at parody. Why? Sam would have been. I don't want to use the word singular because that comes off as a bit, but probably the most, I know that you were really proud of our needs stock song. But it didn't work. It wasn't good. Comedy is objective. And even Owl, I think you would agree with me on that,

that, you know, writing someone might love something and someone might hate something. I'd just say that, you know, there's an argument that we're on equal level writing parody songs as as our guests. Well, what do you think, weird aliein, Kovik? There's no accounting for taste. So yes, certainly, any certain universe we will be on the same level. Absolutely. Fantastic. In a certain universe,

in like one of those par- maybe the one, you know, in Dr. Strange, where you briefly see the one where everyone's made of paint. Yeah. Maybe in that, maybe in that, like a pocket dimension, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe in that pocket dimension. Yeah. Yeah.

Or a hot pocket dimension. Or that would be good. Or that would be good. Or a hot pocket. Yeah. It's one of those far out ones. It's one of the couple of seconds to give an impression of how vast this whole thing is. Look at all the places we could go.

We're not going to go there. Yeah. But look at all the ones that we could go. That's where we could go. That's where we could go. That's where we could go. Is in those sort of two seconds of screen time to really get that impression across.

Yes, our guest this week to help us write parody songs is Weirdo Youngcavic. He is actually coming to Australia on the Weirdo Youngcavic, unfortunate return to the ridiculously self indulgent, ill-advised Vanity Tour in March 2023, Melbourne Adelaide Sydney Perth, Brisbane, and tickets

on sale at t-e-g dainty.com, tag dainty.com. Tag. Tag dainty. What's tag? I have no idea. I mean, they're selling your tickets, man. I feel like you should be across it. No.

Terrible euphemisms for goats. I don't know. Take it. I'm guessing. I'm guessing. I don't know. It's a legitimate I'm guessing. I don't know. It's a legitimate honor to have you on weed out. Can we call you out?

Out of work for me. Like Paul Simon says, I am the boy in the bubble. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Other writer Sam wanted me to ask you, do your friends call you weed Alan? Is that a more appropriate?

No. Because my name's Alan. No, not Alan. So if they call me weird, Alan, they'd be wrong on several accounts. Well, I'm going to message Sam now and tell him he's a fucking idiot. Please just tell him right now for embarrassing me. I'm so really bad about that.

I just want to tell a quick personal story about our Netflix show. Yes. James, do you want to play a little clip from that? Oh, this is the clip. This is the clip. Before we enter the house of Antidana, be warned that this episode will feature satire, parody and clever world play. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man.

I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man.

I'm going to be a real man. I'm going to be a real man. show? I kind of remember it now. I was very method. I was very honored to be part of your show and to play the part of the vampire. I remember I had to kill and drink the blood of so many people just to get the right headspace. And we said to you, we're like, that's not necessary. I'm like, you do not have to do that. It's just a funny little cameo. You said that, but I think the above and beyond, you know, if I know, and look,

well, in the end, thankfully budgetarily because you mostly killed the crew, we didn't have to pay a lot of people that day. And that's, so it's kind of a win-win. Yeah. It was kind of, it was very much a win-win. Yeah. I'm not a very good actor. So I kind of really had to be a vampire for the scene to work. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, now you're at your it was it was absolutely one. It was the long room was the last day of shooting. We had lobster Fidina.

Yeah, we remember that. Well, we all I do. I'll I'll I'll did it because I believe a vegetarian is that okay to say. Yeah, and I was so full from all the blood as well. And you know, but we had loves to that night. Yeah, it was the last night. We didn't have loves to every, I don't want any exact set Netflix list or any like future

exacts of anyone we're pitching to listening and going, we're going to pay for loves to every day if we get these boys. You got to put that lobster on the screen, you know? Yeah. I don't want to see the love stuff. But so we thought we would, you know would take advantage of knowing you a little bit and get you to help us write some song parodies. We thought we'd also, for no reason whatsoever, play a highlight of all your clips from some

of the songs you've written as well at you and just see what you think. Is that okay? Well, let me, yes. Yes, it is okay. You'll know my permission. You'll know the songs. Okay. It'll all come back to me.

Oh, I remember this one. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That rings the bell? Yeah. Oh, hold it. Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that rings the bell. Yeah. Uh-huh. I love rock and roll. Hold it on by the heart. Hold it.

Yeah. It's all coming back to me now. Yeah. Oh, yes. This is problematic, yeah. Don't you call me or do you stop to the tail of the white and white? Oh, I know most of those with the exception of white and nerdy, I believe feature in your

new movie that's coming out on Paramount Plus, much second, weird, the Al Yankovic story. Yeah, it's not out here yet. It's not out here yet. Oh, I've seen it so many times already. And I have to say, I got a little sneak preview and quite genuinely, a weird ale, if I may say, it's probably my favorite comedy film of the last two decades. It is genuinely one of the best fucking, go see this fucking movie, everyone. It's unbelievable.

I don't know if it's nice, man. Thank you. Wow. It's so funny. It's like classic, just silly, silly, silly comedy and I haven't seen a movie like that in a very long time. Oh, thank you, man. Wow. Very well-combed.

Can I see it at the movies? We'll be at the movie. I believe it'll be at the cinema. It'll definitely be at Paramount Plus. Much simpler. I was looking up, because I really wanted to watch it and it wasn't out in Australia yet.

And we don't have Roku where it came out in America. And I was like, I was reading the trades. And I was like, so I know your distributor, because it was like, weird-out has signed with Roadshow to, for international, because I was reading the trades to find out when I could watch. So I'm like, I'm down with all your bismi. Well, honestly, the movie is worth a plane ticket.

So if you were a real fan, you would have, like, come to a hemisphere where it was playing. You could have fun over. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. That's true. That's fair. Right. worth a plane ticket. So if you're a real fan, you would have like come to a hemisphere where it was playing. You'd find over. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. That's true. That's fair. Right. Well, so talking parody songs, we in 2020, no, 2021 actually, we did a secret show in Melbourne Comedy Festival where we put on a show at midnight and renamed our show The Testy Cools, which is, you know, and was a secret show where we got up and did bad comedy for an hour.

And it was in a room about 50 people. And we had a run of parody songs that we wanted to do and perform them back to back to back. And we were wondering if you could help us bump them up. That's normally the kind of thing I only do for make-or-wish kids, but I will make an exception in your case. Okay, if Mark does have a call.

I have a call. That's what it is. Is that kind of a call? It's been around for a while. It's been, I was sneezing all day yesterday. So fine. Okay, it's been around for a while. It's been, I was sneezing all day yesterday. Oh fine. Okay, it's fine. It's fine.

Okay, great. Yes, awesome. But we'll start with actually the song we wrote. We wrote from tears for fears. Everybody wants to rule the world, you know that song? Of course. Of course. Have you done, have you done a parody of that?

I don't believe you had. I don't think I have. I've been meaning to get around to it, but I'm sure yours will be much better. Let's hear it. It's almost 30, 40 years old, I would think. Yeah. But I'm sure you paired it with something very topical and of the moment to make it resonate with the general public.

So I want to hear what you came up with. Well, I would say it's probably inspired quite by your, your early work, because it has a lot to do with food. We found very quickly and I actually love your opinion on this, that parody songs for us, they'd only work if we made them about food. Yeah, that was the go-to for a lot of them. The first one, yeah, tears for fears, everybody wants to rule the world. Okay. And we changed the main, we only did like a couple of lines from it, but it was like, from memory it was like, guacamole and some chips, tasty cheese and also salsa. Everybody wants nachos for lunch.

Okay. Eddie wants nachos for lunch. Okay. I I I I I I I I

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I rhyme structure, we chose not to do that. Yeah, rather than that's a bold choice. You know, it's usually not enough just to have the same number of syllables. Usually try to like match meter and have it rhyme in certain places and be clever in some

way, but I think it's a good choice to do none of that. Can I just check out just because of some of the songs coming up. You said it's not enough just to match number of syllables. I just wanted to check with you before because I don't want to make an ass out of my out of us in front of you, but there are some songs coming up that maybe we didn't match the syllables. Is that okay or if you're going to break the rules, break all of them. And I just want to say in the chorus, we actually do match the the syllables. Yeah,

this one in this one, but don't get too cocky, man. All right. I'm more importantly, when you say that, you know, when you say meter, what is meter? Well, they're accentuating some syllables. You don't want to have it come off sounding on a wheel of the or sounding on a natural. Unless you're doing it on purpose. Have you ever had to do that? Have you ever had to compromise? Have you ever, or do you, are you, are you strict? Are you, you never fuck around?

You know, I've been offered a huge sums of money to change the meter in some of my songs and I will not do it. I've got one there. Oh, I love that. Because I was just thinking about the first song I thought of is when you did Lord's Royals and made it about four-year-old. And that's, yeah, you're doing the diphthong. You're like, you're really, because we didn't quite do that, did we? We, we, we, you're not sure. That's for lunch. Does it quite? But can you imagine having, no, not a lot of people would have nachos for lunch, but everybody wants nachos. It's for lunch. So, it's the medically, I feel like I'm gonna, I would resonate with a larger

audience. And we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, you know, you know, the obsession for nachos. So, I, I appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll be back after this ad. And we're back with Widow or Yankovic. That was the way, oh my God. Yeah, yeah. For us it was, but is it like a star was like, you know, we were, we were, we were in carbonite for a moment

while people go away. I don't know, I'm trying to. It was in carbonite for quite a while. It was like interstellar. Have you seen interstellar? Oh, many times. Yeah, so, so for the listener, they're like back on earth and they actually did 70 years of ads. So for us, that was the second.

Right. I'm like, I'm below the listener. Yeah, but for the listener, they've listened to 70 years worth of ads. So they're back 70 years later. Wow. Yeah, yeah. They've got gray in their beads. Yeah, so nachos nachos for lunch. Uh, uh, we don't sample no stamp Is that your your so I you know I do a star system

And I know I'm gonna give nachos for lunch five stars Yeah, yeah out of out you know that's the thing. I'm not gonna tell you how many All right, yeah, great. So it'll reveal itself as a case of a roller-trip, that's all. Yeah, yeah, yeah, great. All right, the next song needs a bit of context. Yeah. So in Australia, there's like a chicken, actually mostly in Victoria.

Yeah. In Melbourne where we live, there's like a chain called Red Rooster. So they don't really do rotisserie chicken and chips in the US. Yeah. In Melbourne where we live, there's like a chain called Red Rooster. So they don't really do rotisserie chicken and chips in the US. So, yeah, it's quite nice. So you know, we're rotisserie chicken now. No, but rot, oh yeah,

but I think really to understand Red Rooster. Yeah. Trust us, it's funny once you're on, so you know rotisserie chicken now. Yes, I've heard of it, yes. Yeah, yeah. In Australia, it's very common to have rotisserie chicken with fries.

It's sort of a rotisserie chicken and fries, we call them chips, you know, chicken and chips. And it's referred to as like a charcoal chicken shop or just a chicken shop, you know, and every town has a chicken and chicken and chips place, you know, and we also have KFC, we have Kentucky fried chicken. We do have that, but we also have this, which is arguably as popular. Right, but there's the one chain that's very big in Victoria, the state of Australia we live in, that does rotisserie chicken and chips, or fries, called Red Roost.

And, but it's the fast food version of it. It designs like a fast food restaurant. It looks like a fast. Most of these other ones, I would say are independent. Sure. So think like what Jack in the boxes for burgers, Red Rooster is that for this will be funny. Now that this is an excellent setup, I appreciate all the subtext. I think I'm going to really appreciate this one. If you wouldn't mind, could you just relay back to me what you think Red Rooster is now just so we know it. Okay, so Red Rooster is a chain that features chicken on a rotisserie and chips, which some people call fries. Good, yeah. Yeah, and it's like a roast dinner.

Like you would go there, you would go there for like a roast dinner. You can get like a roast dinner pack where you get a whole chat. Would I do that? You could, you wouldn't. Well, you wouldn't. You wouldn't. I'll take you out for Red Rooster, maybe. You can go get some chips, but maybe you would just have the roasted carrots and potatoes

and chips. And the chips, because you can get a roast vegetables there. And sometimes deep fried fruit. So there's a tropical, tropical, tropical. But we don't need to talk about the tropical. We don't have to talk about the tropical. Yeah, that can be there, yeah. That's a different thing. It's a roast sort of like, yeah, fast food version

of like a chicken shop, but you can get like a roast dinner. Anyway, so the song we're parodying is Man Eater by Simply Red. Do you know that song? I know Simply Red. I don't think I know the Holland Oatsong man. I can hear it. No, isn't it? Oh, oh, oh, here she comes. I'm so sorry.

Is it? I might be Holland Oats. Mate, is it Holland? Holland. Because I'm thinking of it. I'm thinking of. Is it Man Eater? That's not a big deal.

That's not a big deal. Yeah, really? This is, whoa, here she comes. the, we would do something along the lines of we just did the chorus one thing and we're, oh, here she comes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. You're making us look, you're making us look like dances in front of you. All right. So it's by all of notes. It the original, the, the, the, the, the, the, we would do something along the lines of, we just did the chorus once again, we're, oh, here she comes, watch out, or she'll eat your strip sub. Oh, here she comes. She's a red rooster eater. And a strip sub. So we didn't, all right. So just so you know, a strip sub is probably one of the most popular items from Red Rooster.

It's a bread, like a foot long bread with some fried chicken tenders in it, some lettuce and some mayonnaise. Like a, it's like a peppermay. It's a spy. I don't think the spiciness of the mayonnaise really matters. It's a peppermay. It's a, it's an item that you can get at Red Rooster. Yeah.

I think that's all he needs tonight. Okay. What did you think? You know, it's some, if it were me and it's obviously not, but if it were me, I would probably change it to something that sounds more like man eater. I'd probably do something like, oh, here she comes. Boy, she likes that process to meet. Oh, here she comes.

She's a spam eater. See something like that. Oh, that's good. That's really's good. That's really fucking good. Have you done that? Is that something you've already done? That wasn't just in the top of your head.

It was we do it out. It's in my dreams every night. Oh my god. Because we did ours. We did ours. ours took about a week to put together. So if you just did that off the top of your head, that, that's something that's fucking out.

Because is it because red rooster is that a meida thing red rooster doesn't sound enough like man yeah it's a little bit of a structure yeah we're squeezing in where it's man we're doing man we're saying red rooster yeah red rooster that's three. Our suggestion was spam, which is, which is, which is nine syllables. There's spam. And the spam is one. One syllable. I bet.

Man is mine. Yeah. It's the same vowel sound. It's a half rhyme. You know, it's close, close enough. Close to it on a red rooster, probably. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm kind of a, I don't want to like talk ourselves down too much. Yeah. But on every level, you've brought shadow into the box. I didn't mean to do that. That was really good. That was fine. That's why you're the best.

Do you mind if we, unless you're going to take it? And that's fine if you want spam eater for your next meal. No, I can't. I can't afford. I'll for spam it. I can't. I can't. I can't., I know. I'm sorry. We're just going to think with Red Roost them in. We can make it work. Outro. I just said we can use spam. You're going to be kings of the world. All right. What is the star rating for that?

Star rating. Well, star rating for spam or Red Roost for Red Roost. For me, it's changed. For red roost. The mayors changed. The mayors. But that was that was so what you've done is you've asked someone who's really, really good at this. For their idea, right? And then you've asked them who's really, really good for a star writing, right?

Which and then you would take that and feel good about yourself. You need to hear. I don't deserve to hear. Red roost again. Okay. Okay. How many stars for that? that and feel good about yourself. You need to hear, I don't deserve to hear, or read Rooster Gets. Okay, okay. How many stars will you have? I've given some thought and I'm going to give Red Rooster Eater five stars. Oh, yeah.

And again, out of, you know, the number is out of it. We don't know what it's out of. It changes every time, but the answer is always five stars. Okay, great. All right, great. Well, that's good to know. That's good to know going into the last one. I don't even have to stress.

You're going to do one more? It's going to be going into the last one. I don't even have to stress. You're going to do one more? It's going to be, yeah, one more. I think we've got one more. And this is the one I'm most proud of. Yeah. This is what we closed our show with. And unironically brought the energy up in a really nice way.

This is a great song by the clash. And this context. We're going to give context. This context. Cultural context. Cultural context here. Yeah, yeah, yes. But the songs by the clash. And song is rock the Kezbar. Now, do you know, do you have you parried

you'd rock the Kezbar? I have not. Yeah, okay. Right. It's on the list. All right. So now, one of these things, I'm sure it's on the list. For context, we're gonna go all the way back to the next.

We're gonna go all the way back to. Last year season one. Season one. So, so you're aware of the show MasterChef? In America you wrote MasterChef? Yes, yes. Yeah. So the Australian version of MasterChef

was a cultural phenomenon, especially Season 1. It's Season 1. It just blew up. Like, biggest. You know, when everyone watched Tally, and they were like, everyone watched the same thing every night, that was the big deal. Yeah. And it was a little bit different to the American one

because in the American one, from what I've seen, they quite purposefully get people that can't cook and then put them in front of very good chefs sort of to embarrass them. Yeah, we're about shame over here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a little less shame here. They try and get people who actually have the bit of... You import the brits. The brits have done shame for a long time

And then American discovered shame in the early 2000s and started importing brits. What happened was a was it was it? Who was the chef that came on a made it was a hasten? Oh, Zumba. Oh Zumba. You know who Zumba? Be it out. You wouldn't know who Zumba is. Zumba is a pastry chef from Sydney. He had his own show called Zumba's Justice Arts. That was well after. That was after. There's no reason why we're down with no who Zumba is.

You never know. I don't know how much time we're down to spend more organic daily in television. MasterChef was our Johnny Carson. Yeah. Well, I caught a while. Yeah. It was kind of a big deal.

It's not joke. The Master Chef was the biggest thing on television far away. Are you aware of what a crock and bush cake is? I have no crock and bush, you said. All right, let's take a step back. Okay. What do you know what a profitor role is? I've heard of Profiteroles.

I don't know if I ever had one. Is that like a dessert? I just think that. Now, now we're going to be we're going to be real here. No one in Australia knew what a preferable or a crockin bush was until master chef season one this challenge. A preferable is sort of like a little ball of of though. Shoot pastry shoe pastry. It's hollowed out and it's filled with a, a crème or a custard. Mm-hmm.

And then there's some bullshit on top. Now, a crock and bush. Yeah, yeah, this is a fucking whatever you want. When you're down here, we'll get you one. Yeah. We'll get you a fritter roll. We'll get you a fritter roll. We'll get you a fritter roll.

We'll get you a fritter roll. I'm still a fritter roll part. One fritter roll backstage, you show it for much. I want a palatown fritter roll. I want a palatown fritter roll. I want a palatown fritter roll. I want a palatown fritter roll. I want a palatown fritter roll. I want a palatederal backstage show for much. I want a palatical proffederal.

I want a palatical proffederal. is never been, it is a type of cake arguably, but it is actually never, ever been referred to as a crock and bush cake. It just is a crock and bush. Right, it's just a crock and bush, which is a bunch of preferit roles, piled on top of each other into like a pyramid type shape. Are there secret chambers on the inside? Well, I don't know how complicated it's going.

No, I think it's got an unedible inside. It's just like a structure, and then all the preferit roles are like stuck to it. Oh, I don't know how complicated it's gone. No, I think it's got an unedible inside. It's just like a structure. And then all the profiteroles are like stuck to it. Oh, I'm passing. And then again, they put some fucking bullshit. And then it's got like a stringy caramel string. Fucking shit on top, right? It's got that real master chef thing.

It's tall. It's long and it's tall. The actual stuff. The actual. It can collapse, you know, and producers love a collapsing thing on master chef. And Australian audiences gobbled it up. It is, it's part, I would say it's part of our culture. I think it knocked out, Po. I'm not for sure.

But it knocked out, Po. Who was one of the contestants who has done very well since, as they're our own show and everything. So, don't worry about Po. But everyone in Australia, I would say knows what a Crock and Bush is because of this cultural phenomenon that happened on Channel 10 in MasterChef C's one. Are you up to speed with us? I think so, yes. So Krockenbush. I got it. Rock the Casbah. Okay. Krockenbush cake.

So we'd go... Rock the Casbah. So we'd go Krockenbush cake. Um, um, rock the casbuck. But there we go. Crock ambush. So go there really, um, Matt Preston doesn't lie. I'm not worried. I'm sorry. All right.

So my person was one of the judges on MasterChef, uh, fought for the, for the long running. The recently it switched over the judges. So they rebooted the show and Matt Preston's no longer part of it. Matt Preston has become a household name because Matt Preston was one of the, what do you say was the intimidating judge? There's meant to be, but then he had a warmth and he was kind of the unoscal wild. I think we're going in too much detail. More of a pervap.

Yeah, this might be a little too much detail. And Matt Preston famously doesn't really write the crock and bush. I don't even know. I can't remember exactly that. I can't remember. But for the purposes of theush. I don't even know. I can't remember exactly that. But for the purposes of the song. Yeah. Anyway, it would go Matt Press who doesn't like them. Bam, bam, bam.

Crockenbush cake. Crockenbush cake. They're really hard to make. Crockenbush cake. Famously a lot of contestants failed. They struggled making it because they were very difficult. So they're very, well, we didn't agree on very or really, but we would just see what ever would.

We would just see whatever. So maybe that's where you can help because obviously I think the rest of it's pretty solid, but they're very hard to make. Well, here's where I'm a little confused. I buy your own admission. You said that nobody really calls them crock and bush cakes. Well, because because it was an extra syllable there that we needed to fill out if you Okay, you can start like this But yeah, Crock and Bush cake rock the Kezba

Fuck it was because croc sounds like rock. I got I got that part Word he sold in fucking two seconds. I prefer I don't know I don't know what are we even doing all right? I don't know. What are we even doing? Let's get a quick star rating from you, Elle. Okay, this is going to shock you, but I am going to read this one. Five stars. Yes. Well, that's, I mean, I've got a feeling I know what that one's out of.

Five. Yeah. But we're very, very, very wanted to have you on. And we're so grateful that you're on our show in America. It was a wonderful day. So great. COVID happened like two days later. It did. I was a brown zero for the COVID, sorry. Yeah. My story for how sweet and wonderful you are in real life has come from when we were having dinner and when I was telling you, I was going to see Mr. Bungle on tour

and then you were like, oh yeah, and then you went quiet for a bit and pulled out your phone and then you showed me a photo of you and Mike Patton for your new singing. Oh yeah, yeah. And you're like, look, it's me and Mike. I was like, ah! I told my heroes in a photo together.

Anyway, it was very lovely. I remember that, so thank you. I'm actually quite shy in real life, so we didn't talk much because I'm quite sure. But... Huh. We did a scene as well, I remember, where we're like, we're gonna make, we're gonna make,

we're gonna chase us around and chase, Natalie Palamedis around as the sun and restless on grass. Yeah. I'm like, we've got to make sure Elf feels like he doesn't need to. And we were like, make sure he feels comfortable. And then you fully just like tackled me at one point. Just wait for it. There's normally part of my writers here. Any show that I do, I want to be sure there's a wrestling involved at some point.

Yeah, well, we'll mission accomplished. But I'll reiterate, it was coming to Australia March 2023, Melbourne, Adelaide Sydney, Perth, Brisbane tickets at tegdainty.com. Don't miss it. Where we're gonna go. It's gonna be the best night ever.

Actually, we're recently in Christchurch, New Zealand, and you'll be happy to hear that one of your tour posters was on the wall. Oh, really? So we know he's done, we know you've toured before. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. And if you are, if you're a fan of things that are good, go see weird, the yellow, younger
