Hello everyone. Welcome to the Aunty Donna podcast. This week we have a very special guest. His name is Cam James and he has a special called Bangers, a live comedy special out right now on Grouse House. You might remember Cam James from that very special series from Grouse House called Finding Yeezus. And he's on there right now with his brand new live special, Bangers.

And we talked to Cam about it a little bit in this podcast. Please enjoy. Welcome to Comics Anonymous, an in-depth look at comedians from around the world. What the heck are you doing Broden? Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr If you got no hairs on your dick. Too good for beer? Yeah, yeah. Come on mate. Too good for iced coffee bro? If you want flavoured milk, the only one you're allowed to drink is iced coffee. That's the man.

Extra strength. Double espresso. Monster. Double espresso. Monster. And then destroy the nearest toilet. But then we got, but then, you know, that's one thing that's happened. And then we also have a podcast guest, Cam James, very disrespectfully not wearing headphones.

The rest of us are wearing headphones. He chose not to wear headphones. I mean, I think if your playback, if you guys were recording on the earlier chat, I did ask and you said it was okay that I don't wear headphones. I don't recall any of us ever saying that. I'm pretty sure you guys were rolling on it. You guys can like, I don't know which camera's mine. Nah, ma'am. Nah, ma'am. The people that are just listening that aren't patrons, Cameron was just pointing, figuring out which camera was his. Can I stop for a sec? Can we stop for

a sec? Let's just put the brakes on. Can we stop? Fuck. When you said that me drinking strawberry milk makes me have no hair on my dick, it made me feel this big mate. Oh, the same size as your dick? Oh my god. No, no. Broden, I'm sorry, I know I've seen your monster shlong. I didn't know it was a roast podcast. It is a roast. Are you familiar with roasting Cameron? Yeah, I love to roast. Sunday roast.

We love roasting. Do you want me to do a bit of a roast of you? I want to apologize Broden. Yeah, I don't know if I can handle it. Broden, I want to apologize. Can I just apologize? Yeah, bro. Mark's gonna apologize. I'm sorry. I had to go for it. You know, I didn't mean it. You know, you got a big fat cock. it you know I didn't mean it you know you got a big fat cock and that when I and you know it was a stupid joke and I'm sorry he was kidding I think thanks Mark for saying that it goes a bit of the way to me feeling better about what you just did mmm but it's not just you there's two other people in this room complicit in the joke. That's true. Because it takes two to tango.

Okay. And three to lingo. And I agree with you. And four to share a mango. I mean like that's, I, is that not true? Two people could share a mango. One person could eat a mango to themselves if they're hungry now.

Stop, stop. Can I throw something else out? Yeah, stop tearing each other apart. I wanna throw something out there. It takes five people other apart. I want to throw something out there. It takes five people to watch the film Rango. No, not true. You know what Rango said? You know what Rango said?

It does! You know what Rango said? It takes one person to watch Rango. It takes one person to watch Rango. Can you listen to me? It takes one person to watch Rango. Can you listen? Can you listen to this?

When Rango rose from the dead three days after his death. He said to his disciples, so long as there are five or more gathered in my name, that is a church. Rango is not Jesus, man. And Jesus didn't say five. No, but Jesus said two. Rango said five. Unaware of the mythology around the film Rango and of the great five who were in the cinema complex.

The Rango Five. The Rango Five. You are making this up as we go! Look, we've gotten off to a bad start. There is no Rango lore! There is no Rango lore, Ken! There are ten Rango lores! There are ten.

There are ten Rango lores. No, L-O-R-E! Oh, Rango lore, well, I mean, the stories that have been passed down from generation to generation, the great Rango book, the film itself. Obviously the lore changes and evolves. I mean, my great granddad's Rango stories were different to mine and my great grandchild's stories I'm sure will be different. And Rango at its core, and Rangoism at its core is a very humanist faith. I think...

Rango is one animated film from about 15 years ago. Yes. And that is the end of it. No. That's the beginning. That's the beginning. Well that is the beginning of our understanding of Rango. Much like The Ocean Broden, you've only explored what? 5% of R Of Rango. No! There is one Rango movie that didn't warrant any more Rango movies made and that's the end of the Rango lore. You know why there were no more movies? Because he said that must be so. Rango said that to us. He said that to the five. No he didn't! We found out after the fact, after the movie didn't do that well. Yeah. Because only five people went and saw it. Just only five people. The Rango 5.

They found some old writings from Rango and he said, there shall be no more than one film. So to be clear, Rango, the film, was the beginning of our understanding of the stories being told. It wasn't the beginning. It was the beginning. The beginning was there was nothing. There was once nothing. No time, no space.

No, you're just... He wears a shirt, Broden. Rango said, let there be a universe. The lizard wears a shirt. Rango the lizard wears a shirt. Is John Depp. All there was. Is John Depp.

All there was was Rango, wears a shirt, is John Depp. And nothing, no time, no space. Hawaiian shirt. If there's nothing. And then Rango said. Hawaiian shirt. No, you're telling me there was shirts. No, no, no, there was one Hawaiian shirt. And then Rango says. Hawaiian shirt. There were shirts.

No, no, no. There was one Rango. One Rango shirt. He wears shirt, but there were no shirts. Is John Depp. So there's John Depp. How can it be is John Depp? You don't get it, man. You gotta watch the movie. I've seen Rango.

Wake up, Broden. I've seen Rango've gotta- I've seen Rango! Wake up! Broden. I've seen Rango which means I've seen 100% of Rango lore. And who were the four others you saw it with? Yeah, were you in the five? The other Rango four! The other Rango four. Yeah.

Right, so you have seen it. And he- You, you, he- Rango spoke of you. He said one of the five would deny. One will deny my presence. I don't deny his presence. I will concede there is a Rango. Yes, okay.

But I don't think Rango has the power. Where does he live in you? He said one of the five will deny my presence and he will say, well then they were always shirts. What did you just say? You said they were always shirts. No, there was one shirt. They were always shirts.

There were always shirts. Well he's not going to get everything right. You're just taking his words. You're taking his words and making them something that they weren't intended by him. What? No. I mean, I am... That's actually really... It's called interpretation. Artistic interpretation.

You interpret. Some of the things Rango has said have not come to fruition yet. When Rango said in the universe when there was nothing, when he said there were shirts. No, no, no, he never said that. He said when he rose again and returned to us, he said one of the five will deny me. And he said I'm hungry for fly. And when you talk of my shirt, he will say there were many other shirts. He munch on fly.

He munch fly. He munch on depth. He joined depth. He joined depth. But there were no flies. This is why he made the universe. He munch on fly. He munch fly. He munch on death. He munch on death. But there were no flies. This is why he made the universe. He made universe in order to have flies to munch. And then everything else, he was like, well, what is this beautiful creation of mine?

I am Rango. He manifested himself a little bit because he made Johnny Depp as well. And he made Johnny Depp be in that Fear and Loathing Las Vegas movie, which then Rango refers back to aesthetically. Donnie Brasco, he also unfortunately did make Johnny Depp do some of those later things. He did also make, I will say, he did also make Gore Verbinski, but he didn't make him as Gore Verbinski. He created an angel to sit at his side, but Gore Verbinski, but he didn't make him as Gore Verbinski. He created an angel to sit at his side, but Gore Verbinski betrayed Ringo. And he said, I'm going to go down to your sullen earth and I'm going to create a film.

And he said, they must not know me, Gore Verbinski. They must not know me. What the fuck are you talking about? Read the text! You gotta read the text! Fuck is Gore Verbinski? You can't read the text! Gore Verbinski!

He gave Gore Verbinski a little challenge on Earth and that challenge was to create the film Mouse Hunt. Which is wonderful, we all love Mouse Hunt. He wanted Mouse Hunt. That's why he sent Gore Verbinski to us for Mouse Hunt. He said I must have a Mouse Hunt. And then Gore Verbinski made a Pirates of the Caribbean. Mouse Trap? No Mouse Hunt. You can't trap a mouse without a hunt Broden.

That was the first of four betrayals. You're right about mouse hunt, it is called mouse hunt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Yeah, mouse hunt. But yeah, in the hunt you've got to set a trap. But the first of four betrayals was, yeah, the first of four betrayals was he sent Gore Verbinski down to us to make mouse Trap and he made Mouse Hunt instead.

The second of the four betrayals was he made a movie about pirates when when Rango said you must not make any films of pirates. Because the director you're talking about Gore Verbinski. Yeah. He made the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. He was meant to be an angel by the side of Rango, our lord. He seems like a constant collaborator with Johnny Depp in the 2000s. Yeah, he made the Lone Ranger film as well.

The third betrayal. Starring Armie Hammer. You talked of the 10 Rango laws, what are they? Well, the four Gore Verbinski betrayals first. We're only two betrayals deep. Why are we doing this Christian Rango? Because we have a beautiful guest here. No, don't introduce him.

Cam James. What are you here for? Rango, mainly. Exactly. And some other stuff. We'll touch on it now or later? Later. Because I want to hear the other, how many Gorrvobinsky betrayals are there?

Four major betrayals. And what are the laws? The third betrayal of Gorrvobinsky was he was only to work with Johnny Depp, voice of Rango, twice. And he worked in him multiple times. Many, many times. That really stung Rango. And then the third betrayal was of course he brought the story of Rango to the people before we were ready to hear it.

Was that fourth or third? That was the fourth betrayal. The fourth, yeah. So Rango, we were never meant to know the story of Rango. What are you talking about? Rango! Because we've always known it, that's the thing, but we've never had it really expressed to us.

It's like, you're not supposed to depict visually, you know, Muhammad or something like that. It's the same sort of thing. Similar with Rango. Yeah, it's lived in our hearts. It's been a part of storytelling for many, many generations. No it hasn't! Rango? Read the text, dude.

Read the text. What text? When you said Rango is a lizard with a shirt and the voice of Johnny Depp, why did you say that? What? When you said Rango is a lizard with a shirt and the voice of Johnny Depp, why did you say that? Because I saw the movie Rango. Yes exactly. Before we saw the movie Rango, you know, my belief is Rango is an energy that exists between all living beings. Parich. It depends how you were raised. I mean, for me, Rango is a literal lizard.

Yeah, right. Wearing a t-shirt. That's really interesting. So that's just the way I was raised. So my interpretation of the text. Mine wears a shirt. It's a button-up Hawaiian shirt. A button-up.

It's not a t-shirt. Mine's a hyper-coloured t-shirt, but that's just how my dad was. Obviously I know that he came to us in the form of a lizard that wears a Hawaiian shirt with the voice of Johnny Depp. I know that he came to us in that form. He died, he was crucified by the Romans.

Sure. So now it's just full Jesus. No, no, no, because you're thinking when you think, because Jesus was killed by the Roman Empire, I believe. I believe so. Maybe the Roman, yeah, the Roman Empire. Yeah, who are you talking about? Like four guys that lived in Rome circa 2004. Caesar's was killed by the Roman Empire, I believe. I believe so. Maybe the Roman, yeah, the Roman Empire. Yeah, who are you talking about?

Like four guys that lived in Rome circa 2004. Four guys called Roman. Roman Coppola. Roman Coppola was one of them. Angry at Gorbunsky. Roman Coppola. Roman... Roman.

Roman. And then, yeah, the actor who played Roman on Succession. You mean Kieran Culkin? Kieran Culkin. Roman. Roman. Yeah, the actor who played Roman on Succession. Kieran Culkin. Kieran Culkin. Yeah. Kieran Culkin. Yeah. You're going to go to the other obvious one or no?

Oh yeah. Polanski. Yeah. Yeah, Polanski. Yeah, Polanski. Yeah, Polanski was a... And then Raymond from Everyone Loves Raymond was there because his name was close enough. Yeah.

And they're the four Romans. They're the four Romans. They're the four Romans. They're the four Romans of the Rango apocalypse. What's his name? They killed Rango and one day they were... Raymond Romano. Raymond Romano. Romano.

See, he got away with it twice. So is there five... No, no, no. He just snuck in there because he was like, Raymond Romano. And they were like, nah, we're looking for a fourth And they couldn't find anyone else the four Romans yeah a Roman Kowalski It's funny by the way, and yeah, they wanted to keep around I need to have a laugh while they were doing it He's not funny funny. No, but he's like he's good to have around

performer He's not funny funny. No, but he's like he's good to have around. He's a quirky performer. He's hilarious. Funny guy, funny guy to crack up with. Every award he wins I crack up. Not the life of the party, but if you get into a conversation with him in the corner, he's gonna make you pimp. He'll say some snarky things about people. And then you'll be like, fucking he's, Kieran Colkin's funny. So what are the ten Roman, Rango laws? The ten Rango laws. Oh jeez, where do you start? I guess at number one. Do you want me to look them up?

Let me just look them up. I don't want to... You don't have them memorized. Look, I do, but I just want to make sure I get them right. Okay. If that's okay. Yeah, I mean, that's respectful. See his bones asking, you know.

You know, I think it's like, I want to get the writing. Just for context as well, while you're doing this bullshit, just in my eye line, Bruce McAvaney is walking around. Oh really? Yeah. Bruce McAvaney. Do you want to explain who that is to our internationalists? No, you know what?

You can do your own research. Do your own research. Yeah. People screaming, spousing, Christian Rango shit. No, Christian. Christian's a different thing. It's not Christianity. That's a different faith. Christianity. Imagine if I was here talking about Buddhism and you're saying, oh, why are you talking about Hinduism? No. Yeah.

That's not what I'm saying. Rangoism is a different thing. Really, the four Romans heard that they would be turning in their grave. Let me be really clear. What I'm saying to you three. If they were in a grave. Which they will eventually all share a grave. They will. So the Romans, they rose body and soul along with Rango. As in the Soap Store or? What? No, no, no, no.

So Rango was reborn three days after his death. Then he, along with the four Romans, ascended into Rango heaven. And one day when the judgment comes, Rango and the four Romans will return. They will return to us and they will judge all. Would you like to hear the 10 Rango laws? After this possible ad break. All right. Sometimes the pod's not doing so well.

So, yeah. You gotta advertise. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who are your sponsors? Red Hot. Red Hot? Yeah I just I just don't want to say after this ad break yeah and then there's an awkward pause cuz yeah we're not doing so hot that month yeah and then we roll into it so I always like to buffer it with a little yeah little possible advertising

space there let's talk the laws. One. There are no other Rango, there are no other shirts but the Rango shirt. Yeah. Hawaiian shirt. There are shirts though. Absolutely. There's t-shirts. The laws have to be interpreted.

There's t-shirts. Like definitely we can read that and go, yeah there's other shirts, but there's no... What does it actually mean? Yeah, what does it actually mean? Is that that was the original shirt, all shirts are derivatives of that shirt, all shirts, fabrics kind of descended from the fabrics in the original Rango shirt. To us, we believe that what we're wearing now... There's so many shirts.

Well, no, but to you, that's a shirt. To me, this is more of a facsimile of the Rango shirt. What I wear now, every time I put on a shirt, I'm honoring Rango. He who wears a shirt. What's this? Yes, in common talk, but I'm trying to interpret the law. It's the first law of Rango. My thing is, at the beginning, number one rule, number one law, he goes, there's no

other shirts. What was he talking about? Number one rule, number one law. He goes, there's no other shirts. Well yeah, because before- What was he talking about? The time before Rango referred to as NA, nipples aplenty, nobody wore shirts. And there were nips everywhere. What's NA and what? Nippies. No, nipples aplenty.

Yeah, so it was NA, nipples aplenty, and then after Rango was born. RS. Rango shirt. Rango shirt. Rango shirt. In the time of RS. In the time of RS. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But of course we prefer BCE and CE now. Yeah, that's more popular.

And that's a more secular kind of way to do it. Do you believe that Christ walked on earth? I believe a man who... I believe he was a prophet of Rango. Well, we disagree there. I believe a man who, I believe he was a prophet of Rango. Well, we disagree there. We disagree there. So Rango is what? Who is, what's his name?

Jesus Christ. The one, the Jewish, what's the word? Oh, Yahweh. No, no, no, no, no. Rango came last. So I believe I have, I share a lot of similar beliefs to the Jewish people, the Christian people, the Muslim people. I just believe that they're gods and they're all prophets of Rango. They were all prophets speaking and promising us that Rango. Does this make sense?

No. And what's the second law? The second law of Rango is you shall not have voice of John Depp. Yeah. Only John Depp and Rango get the voice of Rango. There's one true voice of John Depp. Yeah. Johnny Depp and Rango. And that is Rango. That's Rango. And John Depp is Rango get the voices. There's one true voice of John Depp. Yeah. Johnny Depp and Rango.

And that is Rango. That's Rango. And John Depp is a derivative of Rango. So it is our belief, it is our belief that Johnny Depp has the voice of John Depp, which is the voice of Rango. He inherited the voice of Rango to be a mouthpiece for Rango in the film Rango. In which he spoke the words of the text, which was the screenplay Rango.

So our belief is Johnny Depp has the voice of John Depp, which is the voice of Rango. So what are you looking up? What are you, you're Googling something? So no other shall have the voice of John Depp. I wouldn't want to hear John Depp come out of your mouth. Does that make sense? Yeah, okay three You shall not take the name of the lorango in vain Yeah, what would you say the ring the ring? Oh, the rangos had a French say it but

It's a mistranslation. Yeah, because it was first the right guy was first Yeah, because it was first the right guy was first the text of regular were first written in English Translated to French and then translated back to English. We don't have access to the original English text. It's crazy So you don't use the word Rango in vain for for Remember the Rango film and keep it holy So we just which so far we've managed to do. We respect the Rango. Yeah. No one's disrespecting it.

Can I get some timeline on that? When was, when did the film Rango come out? 2011. Yeah. When did, when was the- Yeah. When was it? It's also, the cinematography is by Roger Deakins.

From 1970? Which is crazy. And when was the Rango Laws written? We don't know. Before 20, what year? No, we believe sometime between 2015 and 2019. It's an Academy Award winning film, one best animated feature film of the 84th Academy Awards. What Pixar film did it beat?

Great question. What would film did it beat? Great question. What would have come out in 2011? Brave or something along those lines. Toy Story 3 was 2010 I believe. So when were the laws? Let's find out. When were the laws? Between like some time after the film, but we don't know exactly.

Why not? Because it was passed down to generation to generation No, no Pixar films that year, but it did beat Puss in Boots really and Kung Fu Panda 2. Wow lean near for animated films Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's and Roger Deakins did the was the director of photography on an animated film. He was apparently yeah Cinematography. yeah, pretty exciting. Was it stop, it wasn't, was it stop motion? You should know this!

Well I, I... You should know what the film is. I'm seeing clips. You read the book though. Of course I read the book. Yeah, you read the book. The text I know. I think they recorded their lines together.

Who? Oh, like Fantastic Mr Fox. So they could riff together. But I don't think it was filmed per se. I think it was still animated but they all went into the studio together. That's what they say. I believe it was not made like a traditional film is made. I believe Gorvob made like a traditional film is made.

I believe Gorvabinsky gave us Rango. Some divine intervention. Does that make sense? I believe that Gorvabinsky, he gave us Rango. He came to a cinema one day in somewhere in Hollywood and he said, here is with a hard drive. He found one with a digital projector. And he said-

Yeah, they would have shot it all digital. Absolutely. And there wasn't a lot of digital projectors then. And he said, in this hard drive is Rango. I give this to you. And they said, who's in it? And he said, Alfred Molina, Harry Dean Stanton, Ray Winston, Timothy Oliphant, Bill Nye, Abigail Breslin,

Isla Fisher and John Depp. Stacked cast. Now if you ask any of those actors, were you in a production, they'll tell you, yes, I did this, I did that. But I believe they're wrong. I believe, I believe Gore Verbinski had the hard drive and he gave us the Rango film. Because you talk about this in such a deity, this film, it was received quite mediate, like, million dollars.

Why? If it won an Oscar. If it won an Oscar? Yeah, it won an Oscar. Why didn't it gross at the box office? It grossed 245.7 million off in a 135 million dollar budget. It's a wildly successful film. Well, it's kind of broke even from the sounds of that, if the production, you know, if you

go by marketing. I don't know, like, in the scheme of where film is at now, that if the production you know if you go by marketing In the scheme of where film is at now. That's a very successful yes. Yeah, 88% on Rotten Tomatoes Which is a that's a that's a fresh school. It's pretty fresh. That's a certified fresh. Yeah It's absolutely fresh as fuck would you like to hear the fifth law of Ringo honor thy father and your and thy mother? Okay, which is fair. Which is fair, yeah. I think that's just a good general rule. What do you say?

Same as the Christian one. The Christians and the Jewish people, we all share that belief. Are these similar to the Ten Commandments? Very similar, yeah. A little bit of crossover. Pretty similar. Yeah, pretty similar. That's the only one that's exactly the same.

The last five are really similar. Yeah, yeah. The last five. Near identical from memory. Yeah, yeah. But with some different- With some subversive- More Rango. So, number six is you shall not murder Rango.

Yeah. What's, hey, is anyone telling me what the film Rango is about? Rango rolls into a town. He rolls into a desert town. We could probably all tell you. And he, well, that's what it's about. He's into a town. He rolls into a desert town. We could probably all do. And he, well, that's what it's about. He's smoking a cigarette. Well yeah, are we talking about what's the plot of Rango?

Or what's Rango about? What is Rango telling us in that film? What happens in Rango? What do you mean by that exactly? Like I guess the typical hero's journey is what happens. But what it's about is it's about us. It's about all of us. It's about faith.

And it's about... It's about where we've been and what's next. And who we can be. Who we can be if we believe. Is it chameleon, yeah? Yeah, yeah, he's a lizard. He's a lizard. Yeah, he's a lizard.

Is he a chameleon or a lizard? We're all chameleons. Well, we all take on many faces. We all take on many forms. We he a chameleon or a lizard? We're all chameleons. We all take on many faces. We all take on many forms. We are all chameleons. Very simple question. What happens in the film or what is the film about? If you want me to answer the question for you, Rango is an eccentric but heroic chameleon. That's like, that's the answer to the, that's the baseline.

Yeah, that's your, that's your simple- That's a primary school- Shallow stream. Yeah, that's your simple, shallow stream. Yeah. That's someone at Rango school. Someone at Rango school on a Sunday. That's the first year of Rango school they're going to learn that. He is an eccentric but heroic chameleon. But the question is, Broden, do you want to get the tips of your toes wet or do you want to immerse yourself in a body of water?

My next question is is he a cowboy? He is a famous gunslinger. He becomes the unlikely sheriff of a town called dirt. His actual name is unknown but he calls himself Rango and that's that's him. Isn't that true of all of us? Yeah that's kind of true of all of us. What is your true name? Broden. Only Rango knows your true name? Broden. Only Rango knows your true name. Do you understand this? Yes.

So when you are born, you have a name. We believe that you have a name from inception. Which is Rango. From conception. Oh, because like I say, from inception it might be like whatever Leonardo DiCaprio's name is in that movie. Don Cobb. Yeah, Don Cobb.

Don Cobb. Is it actually Don Cobb? I think it's Don Cobb. So Don Cobb. Is it actually Dom Cobb? I think it's Dom Cobb. So Dom Cobb? Nolan's the best man. I love Nolan. Dom Cobb. Dom Cobb. What a cunt. Dom Cobb. Cobb, he's called Cobb. Hey Leo, you wanna be in Nolan's new movie? Oh yeah, what character am I playing? Don Cobb. Don Cobb. Don Cobb. Don Cobb. Don Cobb.

Don Cobb. Yeah, I'll do it. Fuck yeah, man. Yeah. So, so Eddie's actually, when, when did Inception come out again? I'm sorry, I'm not 100. About 2009.

So we believe that on the day that Inception came out. 2010. 2010, we believe it was 2010, we were all given names. All that had lived before and all that will ever live. Preception. Like given names. Rango names, Rango nims. Rango.

So if I were to say my name, it is Rango. Your name, it is Rango. But those are different names if you are Rango. Rango knows the difference between each Rango. Does this make sense? The Gunslinging Chameleon. That's how he was revealed to us. In his earthly form, yeah.

So we are all Rango. Rule seven? When you are born, I'm just saying when you were born you have a name. You always had a name. That name was Rango. Not the same as Rango. Not the Rango. But Rango. He gave us that name. I'm getting on board with this. But your parents gave you a name and from the moment of being given a name, you are torn from your Rango. So we-

It's a false name. So that false name pulls you away from Rango. And we spend our entire lives trying to return to Rango. That's why people go on holidays to like beachy locations. They wear a Hawaiian shirt. They're trying to get in touch with Rango. That's why people go on holidays to like beachy locations they wear a Hawaiian shirt they're trying to get in touch with Rango. They've been doing that for yeah yeah since the 60s. Yeah you're telling me. Exactly. Rango came out. I think someone's starting to get it. When did Rango come out? 2012. Isn't that fascinating? That 30-40 years before we even knew about Rango, people were trying to reconnect to

their Rango. I thought that Rango was styled off that. No. No, you thought Rango. Rango's aesthetics were modeled on the character of Raoul Duke from Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas, played by Johnny Depp. That's a really great summation. Ryle Duke!

Ryle Duke was the final, Hunter S. Thompson was the final prophet of Rango. He was trying to tell us something. He connected to Rango. Same with Terry Gill. The seventh law of Rango. Little Terry Gill. Terry Gilley. You shall not commit adultery unless it is with Rango.

You can fuck Rango. Everyone can fuck Rango. That's one of the, yeah, it's pretty important. That's a huge one. That's a big one for us. I'm okay with that one, yeah. So, you know, you might have a wife, but you can fuck Rango. She can fuck Rango.

You can both fuck Rango. Rango can fuck you. You can jack off. You but you can fuck Rango, she can fuck Rango, you can both fuck Rango, Rango can fuck you. You can jack off to Rango. You can watch Rango fuck your wife, your wife can watch Rango fuck you. You and your wife can watch Rango fuck someone else. You could- Hand stuff. Yeah, yeah, you can do anything with Rango.

Yeah, as long as Rango is taken or given a load, he's- A load must be exchanged with Rango. There must be an exchangement of load. Rango's load, your load or your wife's load. I will say there are a lot of feminist interpretations of this law now that say, that have reinterpreted load because obviously that when you say a load... Squirt, they say? Yeah, squirt.

And Rango can make you squirt Rego knows how to hit that G-spot. I will admit. I am a squirter. Yeah, that's awesome. Rango we all squirt I've been trying to squirt for a long time. And rule eight? Rule eight, you don't want to hear about fucking Rango. We've all fucked Rango How did I fuck Rango? We get all fucked Rango. Oh yeah. How did I fuck Rango? We get together at night. Uh-huh. Rul8!

I ain't Rango out. You don't want to hear about fucking Rango? Rul8? Yeah, okay. Eating Rango out's crazy, man. RUL8! Sometimes I'll fuck Mark. Yeah.

Because it's Rango. And I jack off. Yeah, I shag my name. You understand? That sounds like, that sounds very grey and problematic. But Mark is Rango in that moment. I'm not fucking... It's the only way to connect with Rango.

That seems like it could be, you know, you could take those teachings, you know? Broden, Broden, he's Rango. Do you understand? Alright, rule eight. Rule eight. You shall not steal DVDs of Rango. When that one was written, they hadn't really understood that streaming would come along and torrenting and stuff like that.

Is Rango a proof of streaming? It's unclear. So we don't know. This is one of the most debaming. You watch Rango on streaming. Scholars have been trying to figure this. If I Google where to watch Rango. I've been trying to figure this out. I don where to watch Rango. Have been trying to figure this out. We don't, like I don't watch Rango on streaming.

I personally believe. It's on Stan. So I would never watch Rango on Stan. Do you understand, brother? Yeah, I could buy it off YouTube for $4. To me, that for me. It's on Fetch as well. Would you guys watch Rango on Fetch?

Cause I wouldn't. Cause I say that is stealing the DVD of Rango. Yeah, it's the same. You didn't say who did the music for Rango, Cam. Did I? Hans Zimmer is my guess, yeah. Of course. When I made Zorango.

It's my guess. When I made Zorango music. It is Hans Zimmer. When I made Zorango music, I remember Gore Verbinski came to me and he said, I want to make music for Rango. I said, who is Rango? He said Rango is a small chameleon. He has the voice of Johnny Depp. He wears a Hawaiian shirt. He's an unlikely sheriff. He's an unlikely sheriff of the town called Dirt. I said go say no more. I will have for you 40

minutes of music by tomorrow. I understand. Off inception. Yeah. I'm right on the Rango. I'm busy with his inception. I'm making a theme for Cobb theme for Cobb. But tomorrow I will make you the most beautiful Rango music. He's gone from inception into Rango. Cobb's theme. I'm just working on Cobb's theme today. But tomorrow I will work on the... Baaaaaa!

Baaaaaa! Reggaetria! Baaaaaa! So you shall not steal Rango DVDs. Do you understand this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wouldn't. Number nine.

You can rent it. I pay for it. Yeah, just don't watch it on Fetch or Stan. I don't. I personally, I wouldn't even touch a 4K Blu-ray re-release of Rango. I only watch it. Yeah, just don't watch it on fetch or stan. I don't I don't I personally I'm a like I wouldn't even touch a 4k blu-ray re-release of Rango I only watch it on DVD if it ever comes to binge and you're paying for the higher tier Because you know you can pay for binge still get ads

You need to pay again higher. Yeah for no ads, which is fair So fair so fair they gotta make their money. I think it's fair that I pay They're gonna make their nut. I think it's fair that I have to go through Hubble. What's it called? Every day I'm hubblin. I gotta go through Hubble to get to Binge, to pay for Binge, for ads and then upgrade. I think that's fair. Gotta make your money.

Do you understand though that everyone is interpreting this one differently? For me, I believe that it is to steal the DVD of Rango. If you're taking, if you're making a Blu-ray of Rango, you're stealing the DVD. I saw Rango on 70 mil print when they did the road show tour and they do the intermission. In my opinion, that's stealing the DVD. Well, see, as I was raised, that's like, I guess it's like the Hillsong equivalent of Rango. It's new, it's modern, it's fresh.

It's a direct relationship with Rango. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whereas I believe in the traditions. Anyway. Next up, we got number nine. Next up, let's have a look here, number nine. Number nine. The ninth law of Rango.

We're gonna have a look here. Alright, here we are. Number 9. The 9th lore of Rango. Can I have a look here? Alright, here we are. Number 9. The 9th lore of Rango. Here we go.

Here we go. Uh, oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, the 9th lore of Rango. You're making the fucking lore out of me. Yeah, it's a tough one to interpret. Um, you shall not cover your Rango. This part, this goes back to when someone's fucking Rango. You understand? And it may have been, some scholars believe it may have been, you may not cover your Rango. Yeah, which is a little different. He wears a hat, he covers his own Rango self. No, it's more just about if you've got the

DVD put on display. Yeah, don't put it in a shelf. Yes. Or if you're putting it in your entertainment unit, take the drawers off. I do think of it as cupboard though. So for me, for example, my wife, she made love to Mark when he was Rango. And I remember having feelings of jealousy, having feelings of anger, having feelings of bitterness towards Mark. But also feelings of Rango.

Feelings of Rango, absolutely. And I sat down with Mark and we talked about it and he said, hey, maybe you're coveting Rango right now. And I said, you're absolutely right, Mark. Do you understand? That's actually really big of you guys to have that conversation and to, and to embrace Rango in that way. It was huge. It was a big moment for us and a huge moment. Broden, can I ask you a question? You're walking down the street, you see someone you don't like, do you shoot them in the face?

No. Why not? Because I believe that's wrong. Why do you believe that's wrong? It's just that... It just is? Ethics. Ethics? But where is that ethic

coming from from how I was right from Rango from Rango from Rango because you probably would have shot someone before he was about to say Rango just then too but he stopped himself from saying it he was about to say from Rango but he stopped himself it's just really interesting because you you're saying to us I don't believe in Rango but then you're saying I wouldn't shoot someone. No, but you're saying I wouldn't shoot someone, yeah? Yeah, unless... Why not?

Oh, because... Unless Rango... I believe it's the right thing to do. What does that gun on your hip become? Just a paperweight? No, if I'm defending my family, sure. Hold down your bills? But why do you know this? Where do these ethics come from? They come from Rango. So you're demonstrating Rango every day that you don't shoot someone. And Rango was a gun slinger. He was a gun slinger. He was a gun slinger.

But in our belief he was the only gun slinger. The gun can only be slung from the hip of Rango. The gun can only be slung by one. He's slung gun. The one slung gun. Have you heard that song? The gun can only be slung by one. Have you heard that song? No. The gun can only be slung by one. It is a cool song.

It's really cool. It's about Rango. It's so cool. It's really... It's a cool song. It's by Lil Nas X. It's so cool, man. And a ten.

And number ten. You Shall Not Covert Your Rango DVD. Number 10. You shall not covet your Rango DVD. Yeah, now that's my mistake. What's the 10? That's the one that may have been misinterpreted as cover. What was the covet one before then? The covet is your Rango. That's don't covet. This is Rango DVD.

Because obviously everyone can fuck Rango. There can be a lot of coveting, a lot of jealousy. This one don't cover Rango DVD. But everyone has a DVD of Rango. It gets a bit shit that list, it becomes a real covety. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's part of it, man.

It's part of it. Rango, you reckon Rango, you reckon Rango- Yes, I do. When he's putting on his shirt, Do you really think he's uh... So Cam, you have a special on Grouse House. Yeah, well tell us about that. Tell us about his special on Grouse House. Come on Cam. You put a... you've got an hour special that people can watch.

You want people to watch it? You gotta fucking... You gotta get out there, you gotta sell it. Okay, we're just stopping R we're stopping Rango Cold. We can- we can come back next week and talk about Rango if you want. We're talking about your special. If you want to come back next week, talk some more about Rango, I'm gonna make the call, you can come back and talk about Rango next week. Would love to have you, but-

Love to have you back. We're talking about your special right now. Okay, alright, sure. Look, I'll come back and talk about Rango anytime, you know, it's one of my passions. Well, you love Rango. I actually met him at Rango school. Yeah. Did you know that? We've known each other since way back then.

That was like 2011. Yeah, all the people in the comedy community are Rangoists. So, check it out on Grasshouse. What's it called? It's called Bangers, which shares a couple of letters with the word Rango. Coincidence? No. No. No, Everything's deliberate.

Remember I texted you when you first announced that name. I said, I see what you did there. You said I get it. And I sent you back the little lizard emoji. Can you come back in two months and we'll pick up this Rango conversation? Okay. Yes. I have a special on Grouse House, which is the network that you guys are affiliated

with, your affiliates. And the show- We're ambassadors. We don't have Rango on ours. I come here to talk to the affiliates. And the show is called Bangers and it's me doing songs and telling jokes. Not directed by Gore Verbinski? No, Gore's not involved.

I reached out. No interest. Did you have a couple of questions about the special? No. No? Okay. Cam, thanks for being here. Oh, well one, what makes it so special? That's actually a great question, Mark. And I actually don't think it is that special.

But I think it's funny and I think people will enjoy it if they watch it. But it's called a special. Yeah, I wanted to call it a show, but they wouldn't let me. Yeah, I understand to call it a show, but they wouldn't let me. Yeah. Who's that? It sounds great. And I'm going to go watch it right now. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. Bye. You've been listening to the Aunty Donna podcast. Thanks for joining us for another RIP episode brought to you by AuntyDonnaClub.com. See you next week!
