My name's Broden Kelly and today we talk about Rango again. Enjoy fuckers! Hello and welcome to the Aunty Donna podcast, a very special episode today.
A few months ago, you probably remember we had our dear friend and fellow Rangoist, Cameron
Jameson. It was the first time that myself, Mark and Cameron revealed to the public that we were
Rangoists.
It's not something we like to talk about.
It's something for us.
I actually think as someone who's not in the Auntie Donna group, I'm really proud of you
guys for actually being so open about it.
And I've been, I have to say over the last two months, I have had so many conversations
about Rango.
Yeah, of course.
And my beliefs in Rango,
and we thought we'd get you back for a couple of reasons.
One, Broden.
Can I get on the record here?
Yeah, you've been doing some reading.
My name is Broden Kelly,
and I'm just gonna go on record as I don't believe
in the studies of Rango.
Still.
It's interesting.
I believe it's...
Even after I send you all that stuff.
I think the whole religion is kind of, was made up on the spot in about three minutes
into the last podcast.
A lot of people think that.
Yeah, that's really interesting.
It's a popular belief.
I just want to be on record with that.
It's a popular belief.
A popular belief.
A popular one.
And in full sort of, Rangoists, if nothing else, Rango is believe in the importance of debate.
Big time.
We believe in these conversations.
We don't run from it like other faiths do.
So we've invited Broden who is a skeptic.
We're actually leaving the great debate, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival live
show and we'd like to, you know, one day get our platform on there.
But you know, if they're listening.
If they ever want to. If you ever listen. We'd like to, you know, one day get our platform on there. But you know, if they're listening, if you ever listen, love to be invited on.
What's the theme this year at the Melbourne Comedy Festival?
Great debate.
I can't remember something about internet.
I think next year, fingers crossed, we have spent a lot of money.
We're hoping next year it will be about Rango.
Yeah.
So we thought Broden here is here as a skeptic, but also there's been a lot of
questions have come through over the last few months and we thought it's about answering
some questions. Obviously you heard we have all very different beliefs. We all have very
different traditions. Me and Cameron, we go to the same Rango church. Mark, of course. But you're more traditional than me.
I'm more new school, like LA.
My style is more LA Rango.
Yeah.
So, yeah, let's start with that.
Let's talk a little bit about the denominations of Rango.
So while me and Cameron go to the same church of Rango, well, obviously I go to the Melbourne
church, you go to the Sydney church, but they have the same sort of headquarters.
Cameron is what's known as an LA Rango.
I'm an LA Rango.
Do you want to talk a little bit about being an LA Rango?
Yeah, so it's more like it's lifestyle more than faith based.
There's a lot of road tripping, Sacramento, sort of, we eat up sack a lot. We kind of drive down the highway, highway
one, and wear the shirts, take photos, think about Rango, preach Rango, but it's mainly,
it's health based, it's physical.
And it's a much more direct relationship with Rango, would you say?
It depends on the-
You take the text a lot more literally?
I take the text quite literally. My wife doesn't, she's more loosey-goosey with the rules.
When I read the text I just read the dialogue. Whereas Cam will read the big, he'll say
interior. Dialogue of?
Of the text.
The text.
The screenplay of?
The text by John Logan.
Rango.
Rango by John Logan.
Who did Willy Wonka the chocolate, or Charlie and the Chocolate.
And that's when he taught the Demon Barber a fleet.
Now Mark.
He's got to work closely with Tim Burton.
Yes, yeah, he's done a lot of work with Tim Burton.
Also he wrote the text for Skyfall Inspector.
Yes.
Now Broden.
Is he British?
No.
He's American.
Broden, I am, I was an LA Rangoist, as you know.
That's where we met at Rango school.
But I then studied Rango at university.
I read deep into the text.
I also read into the history of the text, how it was put together.
And I've found myself more of, I think my interpretation of Rango is a little more nuanced
now. Like, I think I said last podcast. Okay, you're feeling a little attacked when you say that. Rango is a little more nuanced now. Like I think I
said last podcast.
I'm feeling a little attacked when you say that.
No, just a little different.
No, it's okay. I just feel a little attacked.
I just think the traditions around Rango, the oral history of Rango, you know, before
Rango was a movie, before Rango even was a script, Rango was talked about by Klobubinsky.
It was an amoeba. It was, yeah. before Rango even was a script, Rango was talked about by Where? Kovabinski, Zabolo
It was, yeah
Zimba, I think so, yes
There were conversations, right?
You couldn't speak it too loud or it would crumble it would fall apart
It was an oral tradition
Yeah
I believe the text
But they're just talking about making the movie Rango
If you spoke about it above a whisper
I got this idea for a movie called Rango So you're talking about like the pitch meetings and that sort of thing.
Yeah, they'd be speaking at it at a level that wasn't too loud.
That might be one conversation if they're like at an elevator.
When they were pitching it they were probably like, so let's say in the room they went,
right, there's a lizard.
He's an eccentric but unlikely hero.
He's a gunslinger.
Simphear and Loathing Las Vegas.
He dresses like that guy.
So my beliefs are, my beliefs are Broden that the Rango,
the text of Rango is a human text.
It's a text that had studio interference.
It's a text that had notes. It's a text that had studio interference. It's a text that had notes.
It's a text that had human.
So I believe that text is just one part
of a rich oral tradition of Rango.
And I strongly disagree.
And that's fine.
Strongly disagree.
Well, let's have this out.
We'll debate that through the night, won't we?
Oh!
But in a healthy, fun way,
because at the end of it, we all know that it's-
We all have sex and we all have fun. Yeah, because it's all- We end of it, we all know that it's...
We all have sex and we all have fun.
Yeah, because it's all...
We all have sex, did you say that?
Yeah, well, two of the three of us will take the form of Rango.
Spiritually.
We like to debate and we have sex.
We like to mix it up.
Two of us has to be Rango.
One is not Rango, one is not Rango, one Jack's off. So if you remember from last podcast, you can't cheat on your wife unless it's Rango.
So if three people are fucking, two of us have to be Rango.
I'm always Rango.
Well that's just because we all put our keys in a bowl.
Zach has a big Rango keychain.
Some people don't even know about the Rango thing when they come to the meeting, which is weird.
I'm pretty much like pants off, Hawaiian shirt on, start of the night.
You have to wear a Hawaiian shirt.
You can't be fully nude.
No nipples.
We can't go back to that time.
We can't go back to that.
So I believe Rango is more something that we all share. I believe that Rango lives between us,
within us, around us. Would you say like a nacho? More like um... Shared. Okay yeah.
Whereas I think of him as more of a chimichanga you understand? Right. Just for me.
Just for you individually.
A fried burrito type situation.
Yeah, like one hot roll straight in your mouth.
Straight in the mouth.
Cheese.
Not divided amongst.
Unless you ate kind of beforehand.
Could you not share?
You want half this chimichanga?
Yeah, because I'm with you, with friends.
A table will share a chimichanga, we'll share nachos.
I would love that.
Half a chimichanga, each a nachos. That sounds actually great.
That's a particular sect.
Yeah.
It depends how you raise.
That's a pretty rare, like I don't think there's many-
You're not going to find that. If that's what you're looking for, you're not going to find
that in Rango.
But listen, no, no, no. All I'm saying is we go out for Mexican dinner.
Yes.
You're not telling me that we get a chicken chimichanga.
Hang on, what night is this?
Tuesday. I can't, I've got a show. I'm saying metaphorically. Metaphorically, a chicken chimichanga and nachos and you want to share that. So metaphorically, did you cancel your show?
Yeah, I'm trying to understand. Because there's a lot of ticket sales?
Tuesday is like the cheat night. Maybe there was a family tragedy. Maybe there was a family tragedy,
so I cancelled the show. It's before your show.
We go out for lunch early for dinner.
I don't think Cameron wants to have a big Mexican lunch before his show.
Can we make a lunch show before?
Let's say it's lunch.
I think you're not going to want a full Mexican lunch.
No, but I'll have a couple of nachos.
I'll have half a chimichanga.
That's what I mean!
Okay, okay, so now we're
connecting. Okay, okay. We're gonna get to Mark's interpretation of Rango pretty soon, but first I
wanted to ask you, last podcast, did we talk about the Rango plane? No. So yeah, we should have talked
about the Rango plane. Well, it's, they say the town of dirt is modeled on it So you can see a representation of it in the film
But if you so so here's the thing right so the Rango plane is is a plane of existence
I thought was a jet. No
No, no, no, no, no, no, no movie? Yeah. Convertible. The Rango Plane-
Oh, it's fully Fear and Long Lines, mate.
It's fully-
Yeah, that meets, like, I think, like-
Like a western.
A western sort of bit of a fistful of dollars kind of vibe.
Definitely.
Rango, the Rango Plane, everyone is like lizards or animals.
It's like, it looks like a card-
Bards. Lizards or animals, it looks like a cartoon.
Some of the buildings are like a bottle, like bottles that they've hollowed out and then
other buildings.
You have an umbrella but it's actually just a toothpick with a bottle cap.
But then there are other buildings that are just, they just look like normal buildings
but they're small.
You understand this?
This is the Rango plane.
Now, Catherine believes that's a physical place.
I believe that's a state of mind.
Well, I don't see how that's possible,
because, I mean, what are you saying?
We just go to a state of mind when we pass away?
I don't understand what you mean by that.
No, I believe that we exist in our Rango form,
and then we take the human form for a short time and then
we return to our Rango form. That's absurd because obviously we just go to
a town where everything is made out of bits of junk and like scraps. You think
that's less absurd? I lay down into a bed but it's an anchovy can. I have to laugh.
I have to laugh. And I'm a cricket or something. I have to laugh. You think
that's less absurd than I'm a lizard for all eternity
The tone that you're using is so crazy
But you understand I think that my interpretation is that I'm a lizard for all eternity
But for a brief 80 years I take the form of a human
You're getting so angry and it's like
I'm not angry
If you connected with Rango more which we will later tonight
Absolutely I'll put on my Hawaiian top Yeah, if you connected with Rango more, which we will later tonight I believe.
Absolutely.
I'll put on my Hawaiian top, I'll...
Beep.
Beep that.
Beep that.
Yeah, if you connected with your Rango more often, which we should, we should do it, we
should move into a place together just to make sure we can connect.
It's fun to move into the, you know, connect to Rango. I think you'd be less angry. We should move in our place together just to make sure we can connect.
I think you'd be less angry. I think you'd find less anger in your... when you debate.
I'm not debating. I think that's cool. I think that's cute that he thinks he goes to a little Rango town.
It's cute.
Can I ask a genuine question?
Please.
It keeps coming back to sexual intercourse with this like and it feels like a pathway to do it. Oh is that how you've interpreted that conversation? A lot of
people do but that's interesting. That's like one part of it. It says a lot about it. But you talk about it most.
Well that's because we're looking for rentals at the moment. Yeah. To get
together so it's on our minds a lot. There's a housing crisis. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's hard to get an Airbnb
because often now they're like are you Rangoists?
Are you just doing it to have a Rango fuck?
And they can't ask that.
They can't, I'm pretty sure that's illegal.
They can't ask that.
And we say that we say actually you can't ask that.
You're not allowed to ask that.
And don't blue light the room when you're when we're done with it.
Why?
Because of all the cum.
Because of ejaculate.
Now Mark, do you want to talk about your interpretation of Rango?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So Rango for me, geez.
It's hard cause it's so-
It's been a long journey for Mark.
It's so many things.
Rango?
Do you want to talk about your addiction and how you came to Rango?
Yeah, yeah, Rango, pardon?
Do you want to talk about your addiction and your years before you were Rango?
Yeah, yeah.
Because we were both born Rango-ists, you know.
Yeah.
How?
Parents were Rango-ists.
How were they Rango-ists?
What do you mean?
Because Rango didn't come out until 2011.
No, but it wasn't...
My parents have always loved Nickelodeon movies as a studio.

Yes.
Do I believe that Moses?

100%, he was a prophet of Rango.

Moses is a prophet of Rango.
Rango appeared to Moses as a white kind of lizard.

Chameleon.
And what does a chameleon do?
Change its colors.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And what color was Moses? You've answered your own question Thank you. Thank you. And what colour was Moses?
You've answered your own question right there.
Moses was like...
What colour was he?
His skin.
So Mark was a drug addict and a fornicator.
I was hooked on googs.
Oh yep.
I loved googs.
And who was selling him those googs?
Me.
He was my good guy. I was selling him gooks so that I could pay
for Rango school. I was born rich, my parents are rich, so I got to go through Rango school.
I had pretty much a free ride. And I'm not proud of it, but I would shelve them. He'd
shelve those gooks. And I'd say to him, as I'm selling them, I'd say, don't shelve these
gooks. You'd give him the gooks. And he'd give me money and I'd say but don't shelve them
That's that's not said they get into my hang around as a rich kid
But I didn't do any of this stuff, but I like to cosplay as like working class
I'd hang around I'd be like acting poor, but really I wasn't poor
I was quite really really very and then what happened I'm rich in Rango
Yeah, well now now I am but you also a drug dealer
It sounds like well, I would sell him googs. Yes, but I wouldn't say that's a drug dealer
I'd say salesman the absolute definition of it. No a drug dealer
deals drugs I
sold
Googs very different. Okay, would you be happy if I you a GOOG seller? Yes, that's what I did.
He was one of the GOOG guys.
I was one of the GOOG guys. Come in and see the GOOG GOOG GOOG guys.
Pay casual bull slice. The prices of GOOG. And he did, he'd often give me a discount because I was buying in bulk. Then what happened?
I would get him hooked on the googs.
What happened Brodom was I hit rock bottom.
Or goog bottom.
I shelved.
And he's not referring to the bottom that he puts his googs in.
No.
Although in a way it's a double meaning.
Because I shelved, I think I did 150 googs, I shelved them.
Shelved them all?
Shelved all those googs.
Shelved them all in one go.
Yeah.
That's where you put the goog in your arsehole.
I understand why I shelved them.
Yeah, it goes all the way up there.
Well, it's not just putting it in your arsehole, you're forgetting the most important part,
which is you put them up your arsehole and then you do a little blop with your finger.
Find the shelf.
Put them on the shelf.
Then what happened?
Well, I lost complete control of my bow.
But because I was googed up, it felt goog.
It felt goog.
It feels goog to be googed up, I've heard.
And then what?
I'm sitting in a pile of my own shit.
Googie shit.
In my googie shit.
And I'm like, I'm like, this feels goog. Yeah. But we came along, I mean, I'm like I'm like this feels good
Yeah, yeah, we came along. I mean I came along and said I this actually isn't good
Yeah, and that opened my eyes saved him. Yeah, anyway, I mean, you know, yeah I think you just shared the word and he said hey, hey, I got a DVD here. Maybe you can
DVD
Rango
We popped it on we cleaned up. What's the extras on diva? Is there any extras on? Rango. Rango. Rango. We popped it on.
We cleaned up.
What's the extras on the DVD?
Is there any extras on the Rango DVD?
Definitely.
Commentary.
Commentary from Gore Verbinski.
But I don't want to hear that man's-
Well, he turned out to be a false prophet.
He was a false prophet.
He said some good stuff, though.
I don't know.
I mean, we wouldn't have Rango in our lives today.
You always say that.
You always say that he says some good stuff, but you never actually say what it is he said.
Mouse hunt.
Yeah. Yeah, mouse hunt we all like. I think we can all agree.
So that's a pretty solid girl.
Is that the one with the two brothers trying to get rid of the mouse?
Yeah. Curse of Black Pearl.
Ring. The ring?
The ring. The American Ringling?
The ring. Of the ring?
Not ring goo.
Not ring goo.
Not ring goo.
So then what happened? Then you became a... I don't ring. Yeah, so then what happened then you became a I don't know
Yeah, I guess I just got into it
I know I don't think it's real. I think it's something that you made up. Oh, it's not real
Why don't you download fetch on your phone right now?
download fetch on your phone right now. I'd really rather not. Look up Rango. Download fetch dude. Look up Rango. Just download Stan the Stan app. Do you have YouTube? Tell me it's not real. Do you have YouTube premium? Yeah Google Rango. I do.
Yeah, do you think someone just made up Rango in their head? Google Plus? Yeah I do. Are you just saying
Gore Verbinski and John Logan just thought hey let's make Rango? Hey not just those two it was also
James Ward Burkett. Yeahett was one of the story buyers.
So you know, there was a third.
We don't really talk about him, but there was a third.
So you think those three guys, he may have punched it up.
Yeah, he did some punch up.
Which good sacred texts have a good punch up run.
I love Ringo.
Me too.
Yeah, I love Ringo.
I think it's really good.
I'm with Rango every day.
You ever just think like how cool Rango is?
Not enough.
Has this run its course?
Is that what I'm feeling?
Yeah, I'm running out of things there.
I felt like the other episode we were doing, I was like, I think there's more than one episode in this Rango religion.
I don't know if there's two, but I want to see how far we can get.
And what do we get, one and a half?
One and three quarters.
Three quarters is pretty good.
So you got a special.
Yeah.
Adam and Graves, how's camp?
Been out for months now.
Yeah, exactly.
What's it about? Tell us about it.
It's comedy. It months now. Yeah, yeah, exactly. What's it about? Tell us about it. It's comedy.
It does comedy.
I do comedy.
So there's jokes, songs, there's some sketches.
Jokes and what is a joke?
What is a joke?
Well, when you say it has jokes, what do you mean by has?
Yeah, what do you mean by has jokes?
Well, I mean, the show is in the past tense.
It was filmed last year. So it has
jokes. It contains them. So you kind of mean similarly like in the past it have jokes.
So the whole time you're doing the show, you've already done the show? The show, it's been
filmed, it's been edited, it's up. It's in the present. And it has joke is what you mean.
It has jokes. Has means more or less have, yeah?
It had jokes, so there's no more jokes in it.
I think it have joke.
I mean.
When you say has, you more or less mean have, yeah?
I just don't, I'm not following you.
Are you getting out a gun?
What are you doing?
Are you going into your, oh, you're getting out a hat.
Oh, he's got a hat that says jokes.
So that's a joke.
Huh? That's a joke. No, this is a hat. Oh he's got a hat that says jokes. So that's a joke huh? That's a joke.
No this is a hat. So if for anyone listening maybe you're not a patron maybe you're not
watching the video Cameron has just put on a hat that has the word jokes and a full stop
and I think Cameron is about to explain to us exactly what a joke is. Now hold on hold
on did you put it on did you put the hat on on? Obviously it's a hat, I'm not stupid. This is a hat.
But it's a joke.
Mark, can I just, sorry, can I just jump in front of here
and just, cause you're talking about joke,
like do you know what a joke is?
Well he put the hat on, the hat says jokes.
It's a hat.
It's a hat.
That to me, two of you guys are wearing hats.
Is the hat a joke, is a joke a kind of hat?
No, a joke is a set up and then a punch line or a tension and then release.
Like an orgasm? Is sex a joke?
I mean, I used to joke three times a day when I was a teenager.
But what is it? So what is a joke exactly?
You talk about a tension and a release or?
Yeah. What's the point of a joke? What are you trying to do when you have a joke?
When you elicit joy from an audience.
Do you guys actually not know what a joke is? You guys are in a comedy group.
We're called Aunty Donna, yes. We do not know what a joke is.
No, no. So tell me what a joke is exactly.
Uh... Knock Knock.
So a Knock Knock is a joke? No, like, do you not That's a knock knock is a joke.
No, like, do you not know the format of a knock knock joke?
Well, I don't know what a joke is.
Format.
Format of a joke.
So you don't know what format the word format is.
I have a friend called Matt.
I do things for him.
And I have Matt, like I have a Matt at the front, on my front door.
So you have four Matt's and that's a joke?
I gave an ounce of weed to Matt, for Matt to make edibles for me once.
So you've got this comedy special on our YouTube channel, Grouse House, and the point of this special...
It's for fucking pleasure, joy, entertainment.
Entertainment, I understand.
Sure, yeah, that's what it is.
So I meant like entertainment, like a movie, like Marvel movie.
Yeah. Yeah, like Shang-Chi.
So you've made a Shang-Chi?
Sort of, yeah.
I just think for the listener...
If this is the easiest way for you to understand it, yes, I've made a shung chi.
I'm worried that a listener will go, what is this special joke that you talk about?
Just the same.
You're the one with the hat on.
We're just trying to promote your special joke.
According to your hat, you're the fucking owner of jokes or some sort of expert on them.
It's on your head.
This is a hat.
That says...
I can't see it.
Can you Google, can you look up the dictionary definition of joke, Broden?
We just want to make sure that our audience understands what you're trying to promote
here.
Can I ask how dumb your audience?
Can I ask that?
Am I allowed to ask that?
I'm a smart guy.
And I don't know what a joke is.
Our audience are very smart.
Very smart.
They know when a podcast is good, when it's bad, when it's slowly getting worse every
week.
They tell us every time on Reddit.
It's a real rollercoaster for them.
But this is the thing, you're telling me joke is a thing that many comedy have.
Yes, oh my god.
Or had.
Or had.
I have the definition here. Right. And I'm a comedian, I've been a comedian for over 10 years, I've never heard of this
joke.
A thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter. Especially a story with a funny
punchline.
Now what's a punchline?
At the end of the joke. That's usually a twist on what's come before it or a subversion of
the story.
The final phrase or sentence of a joke or story providing the humor or some other crucial
element.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
So sometimes when I do a live comedy show with my friends Mark and Broden here, I'll
say a sentence or maybe a few sentences, maybe we'll share them, but I'll say a few
sentences where I sort of set up a kind of idea or a concept and then the last sentence
is different to what you're expecting.
Or it doesn't even have to be a sentence, Zach, it can be a moment.
For example, one of you could say, don't get in the kiln, and then the other two are in
the kiln.
Then we get in the kiln. Yeah, no you've been told not to.
And this is a joke.
And that's funny to your audience.
This is a joke.
Some people...
Our kiln sketch have jokes?
Definitely, a lot of your sketches do.
So this is what... so we're doing these jokes all through Ash and you do something similar.
So you do the kiln...
I don't do the kiln one, no I do different...
But you're in a kiln.
No. Tell us about your jokes
for the audience. Why don't you just do the, if you just perform it. I've got such a headache.
I've got a huge headache. You don't want to tell the audience about your jokes? They can find it on
YouTube on Grouse House which is a YouTube channel. That's our YouTube channel. And your special jokes.
This is what you're on. So you've made a web series for us? You're the one wearing the hat.

My hat has a butterfly on it.
And mine has the fillies.
I know what a fillies and a butterfly is.
I'm not coming in with a hat with jokes.
What are three reasons
I have to watch this special or I'll die?

Okay, so that's a pretty large threat.
Yeah.
Better watch it.

You're gonna kill everyone that doesn't watch it?
Cool, man.
That's probably like, you know, like...
That'll get me famous.
Oh yeah.
I mean, number two...
Maybe for the wrong reasons.
I think there's no such thing as bad publicity. That'll get me famous. Oh yeah. I mean, maybe for the wrong reasons.
I think there's no such thing as bad publicity.
Number two, it would make me feel good, would be nice.
And number three, you know, it's free.
Now Cameron, I've seen you do live comedy shows before you play guitar.
You sing some of your jokes.
Definitely.
You say some of your jokes. So now you understand what jokes are.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Well, you explained it.

seen you do?
Similar to the live shows, but it has some sketches in it as well.
Oh, you draw?
No, you know, you guys do sketches, sketches. You know like little scenes funny little scenes, but is it what is it?
What is a special show what's special about this show? Yes
What's special about it is that I put my heart and soul into it and it's important to me
I don't think you understand. What is a special?
Because for me does that mean it's discounted
It's free.

With cameras you guys have used cameras before this cameras in here everyone's you know similarly to this and and then that's why it's special
Yeah, was it hard to catch can you look up the definition of comedy special?
No, it wasn't hard to catch it was because you know you just press record on the camera
I just we're asking very simple questions. What is comedy special? Does it have a joke?
Stand-up comedy is a performance directed to a live audience where the performer stands on a stage.
But what is comedy special?
Can you not sell on this?
There's no definition.
Super well to us. Gotta be honest.
