Here's looking at me, adult. Welcome to Comedy Bang Bang. Oh, I'm getting applause from one of our guests. Thank you so much. Thank you to SnakeRaid for that catchphrase submission. Thank you to SnakeRaid if you have a catchphrase submission. I don't think that one's gonna stick. If you have one, head over to CBBworld.com slash blogs

and you can get on the show. And welcome to Comedy Bang Bang for another edition. We have an incredible show coming up a little later. Someone in the food industry. Then after that, someone with a particular skill set and then a father. Oh, this is appealing to my interests now, a father. But before we get to them,

we have some wonderful guests here. I've known them for nye upon, I'm gonna say four years at this point, but is when I met you in person, but give or take a year here or there for being on emails with you. And I don't know that the listener cares that much about how long that I've known you,

but I thought I would give that information. It's worth getting right. Yeah, context is important. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and I think that's the, there was that three years of COVID. So do we count the last two years? I know, I haven't seen you in four years

and I got to know you four years ago. So it feels like I've only known you three months. It really is just a three month friendship. We've known each other for four years, but three months. But only for three months of those four years, but I feel like you're my best friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's really sweet.

That's beautiful. Thank you so much. They are, they've been on the show before. They're a couple of our favorites. They, a couple, I mean. It's all right. It's two of us are favorites and there's another rejected. That's fine.

I'm not gonna say who, but Mark, you understand me. I know, I understand you. You know who I'm talking about. I'm self aware enough to know who's being referred to here. They had a wonderful show on Netflix that the last time they were here, they were talking about called the name of their group's house of fun.

I'm trying to stay away from saying who you are before the intro, but it's hard when you put the name of your group in the actual title of your show. They were told us we had to do that. Did they really? Under penalty of death? Yeah, absolutely. The old bum bum, the old Netflix.

So yeah, we wouldn't have put it in there because of exactly this reason. Right. We said that we talked about that at length. We were like, but what about intros to podcasts? Yeah. And one in particular. The only one we're invited on there.

Absolutely. We met you in the foyer of Netflix. Did you really? I don't know, call that. What was on the big screen? Because if you've never been to Netflix, and if you've never been to Netflix, you have to go to Netflix.

Simply must. Work on a show, figure it out, pitch it up. They won't buy it, but what was on the screens? Because when you go into the lobby, they have these moving animated, the entire walls are television screens and animated. So it alternated between Lost in Space and The Crown. Right.

One of those still on the air. Yeah. Wow. Do you remember The Crown? Do you remember this? I don't know if this is relevant, but on The Crown, they were like the writer, one of the seasons didn't do so good.

And then the writer was like, I have chosen to compress my original plan of six series into five series. I've chosen this for creative reasons. For creative reasons. And then the Princess Diana season came out, and he's like, after doing this season, I have decided I will do two more seasons.

Of this season. This is my choice. Well, what a wonderful meeting we have. The Crown and Lost in Space were up there on the walls. And they are a sketch group. They're based in Australia, and they have a tour that is coming out in the fall that tickets have just gone on sale.

It's called The Dead Cat. No, sorry, The Magical Dead Cat Tour. Boy, just The Dead Cat Tour. That would be a bummer. That's insane. But this is The Magical Dead Cat Tour. Please welcome back to the show Aunty Donna. Thank you.

Hi, guys. Of course, we're here. Broden Markensack. How are you guys? Really, I'm really excited to be in the room with you. The first time we're on here was over some sort of computer from Australia. Was it really?

Yeah, we did the Zoom, yeah. Oh, that's right, because... Oh, was it because COVID happened and you were supposed to be out here but doing the one show or...? Yeah, we probably would have done it in person had COVID not happened. But we had to rush home during post because of COVID.

Oh, really? During post for the show? Yeah. And we did the Showcat on the air. It was during COVID. It was in the middle of the year. I don't wonder it never got a second season. November 11th, 2020.

I believe it came out. But... I remember shooting it in December of 2019. Yes, yeah, yes. And because I played... I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but I'm a wonderful police officer. It was so good.

It was so full-on, because all massive fans of Bang Bang, the show and podcast, and then to have you as a cop was incredible. Oh, incredible. And then... Oh, that's right. It came on in mid-2020

because I remember a lot of my scenes were cut because of what was going on in the news. It was a turbulent time in America and our little Australian naivete. Yeah, that's right. We had to cut that sketch. A silly American policeman. Oh, just a...

He was silly in the sense of he was... My character accidentally shot someone fixing the TV antenna up on the roof. And then Mary Sohn and I were trying to cover it up. It went full... What's the Denzel Washington one? Training day. Training day.

It went full training day. And two Australians... By the way, I'm reenacting the Denzel GIF. Like wiping my brow, like, oh, he got the title. That was a close one. Oh, boy. But to us, that's just a piece of media.

Yeah, exactly. I like this riff on that. But it came out at such a particular time. Everyone was like, we don't want to joke about cops at this point. Lovable cops covering up shit. So all my scenes were cut. Anyway, thanks for having me on the show, guys.

It was one. It was one scene. The best scene. It was... I loved that sketch. That was a hard one to let go of. But fair enough. Fair enough.

Fair enough. It's, you know, when someone's paying for it, that's the problem. See, TV shows are too expensive because you need these giant corporations to pay for them. And then you have to do whatever they say. Why don't we make a web series? Yes.

You and us. Just us, a couple of cameras, a couple of microphones. Exactly, yes. Hit up my assistant about that, and I'll definitely be doing that. Guys, welcome to AmeriCorps once again. I haven't seen you since the end of 2020. And you're here to announce that tickets of your tour are on sale.

What I love about this is most people come through... Most people play LA either at the beginning or the end of their tour. A lot of times it's the end. I get people on the show only when they're in town doing the actual date. And I go, okay, you're here to promote your tour? No, it's already over.

You guys are here months ahead of time. We've gone the other way. We've overcorrected it. We like to come over as much as possible and try your local fare and see our friends. And we were doing England at the same time. We thought we'd just do it in one fell swoop, and then we don't have to worry

about trying to promote it for six months. Exactly. Yes, you're here on BangBang promoting it today. It is still months away, but... Is this an issue that we're doing? No, I love it. I legitimately love it because... Also, the other thing is people go like,

hey, I have a TV show on in one week. Can I come here to the show? It's like, I have been booked for... No, I love this. Oh, that's great. Plenty of advance notice. And what I love about putting your tickets on sale so early is that money goes right out of people's pockets

and just stays there in your pocket for months and months and months. Boy, I tell you what, we did a big long lead announce for our Australian tour, and then all the more COVID happened. We thought it was over, and then more COVID. Yeah. And we kept pushing it back. There's just something so upsetting about this.

I know about some of the money. And meanwhile, you're making the interest on it, you know? And you're just... You guys are rich from basically COVID happening, and you guys just banking that money and just raking in the interest. We hugely profited from that awful event. Yeah.

And we're very rich. You guys came out the other side, you know? Like, you're wearing... You all have monocles now? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Top hats? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

It's a Nike monocle, too. Real kind of monocle. You have double monocles. This is what I meant to say. Oh, wait, no, you're just all wearing glasses. I'm sorry. Getting older. I thought you were two times the classy.

You don't have glasses here? I view them as double monocles, because I give people the benefit of the doubt that they're classy. So the tour, the magical dead cat tour. Now, if you've never seen Auntie Donna, and you haven't heard the previous episode of the show, and you didn't watch their Netflix show,

which is still on Netflix, by the way. They haven't taken it out. It'll be there forever. And that's... Are you sure about that? Oh, well, no. I actually know. Yeah, now there's the old HBO cut and shit.

Yeah, I love how Netflix makes their deals with everyone of, like, in perpetuity. Like, the word perpetuity is throughout the contractual language of your shows, and then they can just take it off at any time, and you're like, but you own it in perpetuity, like, so I can't take it anywhere else. But for those of you who don't know who Auntie Donna is,

describe what it is that people will be seeing when they see this show. Because the shows are... The Australian leg is in September, starts September 3rd, and the American leg starts in October 11th. What's the American thing? Is this a non-going joke?

I don't know. This is a running joke. I'm an American, not an American. Right, yeah, that's good. Because when Australians try and do an American accent, we do do that, America-R, because... Right, America-R. You know, the difference we hear is the aah.

Just the hard aahs, the hot aahs. Yeah, we just add more and more. We add too many hot aahs. Anytime any one from out of the country, usually it's people from England, try to do an American accent, they always sound like John Wayne. They're always like, hello there, partner.

Other than, like, then you have a Benedict Cumberbatch, of course, trying to do Dr. Strange. There's nothing more upsetting than a fancy bridge. Someone that went to Eaton, doing an American accent. I hate it. It should be against the law. Yeah, yeah.

I had a visceral reaction to Benedict's American accent the first time I put Dr. Strange on it. I was just like, ah, no. Exactly, yeah. You vomiting, diarrhea. It was, well, I mean, yes, but that was before the movie. Oh, right, okay. And then I came in and saw it.

And I was like, who got that out of my system? Let's watch a movie. And then suddenly this asshole, hello, I'm Dr. Stephen Strange. It takes, like, 45 minutes to click into. And you're like, all right, I guess this is what we're doing. And then it's fine. They made the One Direction Boy do an American accent for his.

Harry Styles? Harry Styles has a little post-credits sequence. Oh, yeah. In The Eternals? In The Eternals, yeah. Not to spoil The Eternals, but look, it's been out for years and years at this point. Yeah, I think you haven't seen The Eternals at this point.

It's like, what are you doing with your life, right? Yeah, and what's happening, you know? And also the show is- You're not an eternal. Get to it. Watch that movie. There's only so much time. Time is running out.

You gotta catch up on Phase Four. Did he, was he doing an American accent? Yeah, he was doing an American accent. Hello, Eternals. Yeah, it was like, oh, hey, there, I'm a sexy space boy. What character was he playing? He's, uh, is he Pippa? No, that's Patton.

Who was he playing? He's friends with the Pattons. Yeah, he's playing- Oh, he's playing, uh, Star Fox. Star Fox. For all intents and purposes, he's Harry Styles the superhero, yeah? Yeah, exactly.

He should just be Harry Styles' man. Now, you're a comic book guy. Harry Styles. The powers of Harry Styles. Harry Styles bit another guy. I can do what I want, you know? Yeah, that's his power. I would love that if Harry Styles bit me.

Oh, my God. Yeah, my God, he can literally do anything he wants, and you'd be like, oh, my God. Anything he wants to me. Yeah, yum, yum. Bite you. Bite me. The rest, the rest of it.

It's L. Yeah, give me little pieces. You were gonna ask me something, Zach? No, I was gonna say you're a comic book guy. You were just gonna say something. Okay, guy. This is my opinion. If they change the accent to something

that better fits the character, are you gonna get funny about that? Like, if Doctor Strange was funny. You can change the accent all you want, just not the race of the character. I don't believe that. That is a joke. It's a little joke there.

A little, very little. Because I think Doctor Strange, a British Doctor Strange works just fine. His American-ness is not in that version of the narrative. It's not in the hairings in him, yeah. Although, I don't know, that one scene at the beginning of Doctor Strange, where he's an anchor baby,

and he's born in the states to English people, I thought was very interesting. And you see him being born, and then filling out the birth certificate, and giving him his citizenship papers. I mean, it's a gripping scene. It's a lot, yeah, it is a lot. It's hard to do a pre-check scene after that.

Exactly. Once you see all that. So what, I still feel like I haven't gotten your description of what your group does when people will see you onto. Oh, see us live? Yeah. I would describe it as we,

in Australia, we wanted to start doing sketch comedy like a decade ago, but there was nowhere to really do it at the time. And they didn't have grooves? No, we were to a lot of fields. A Mad Max 2 was a good reference point for what it's like in Australia. And so we would have to get up in stand-up rooms,

and our inspirations were things like Mr. Shob and Conan, but then also British influences like The Queen. Yeah, The Crown of Brown. Yeah, we loved it. Dr. Strange. And so we kind of went about trying to make like an ensemble comedy work in a place that didn't really have it.

So there's a big comedy festival in Melbourne, and it didn't have a category called sketch. And so what we started to do was try and make this unrelenting hour that would grip people as much as possible. Well, that's how I started to do it, because I started in stand-up clubs, but doing sketches in stand-up clubs.

And the comedy death ray show that I used to book at UCB was a mixture of stand-ups, and then people would come on and do, it's like, I would almost call it like performative sketch in a way, where like you're including the audience and do it, and you know you're in a stand-up show. It's not like you're coming out and going,

okay, lights, and then pretending the crowd isn't there. It's exactly that. You're coming on as a, everyone knows that this is a show, and you're doing like sketch kind of things as performance. It is sketch, we write in a sketch, we think of it as sketch. You have the word sketch in it every three words.

It's three to four, we try to be relentless. How much we remind the audience. It's a sketch, this is a sketch, next sketch coming up. Hey, you guys like sketch? We've got a few more sketches coming. But it is exactly that. We drop out of character very organically,

and there's never a blackout, there's never costume changes. Things stay around. Fake guns, prop guns. Very few props. But real guns we use just to protect ourselves. Good, yeah. You have to these days.

Well, if everyone has one. You're good guys with guns, right? Yeah, you're good guys with guns. Three good guys with guns. Absolutely, that's our working time. We do warm up shows with a good guy gun boys. You guys should have a fake opener, the good time gun boys come out as a.

They got guns. We got guns. That's pretty much it. I was doing a sketch show up in Vancouver once, and realized that there were fake guns in it. And I was like, oh shit, we can't bring these guns into Vancouver. So I made the producer of the show buy fake guns.

I was like, we need fake guns, we can't bring them in. And he bought these old timey Western six shooter guns. I was like, these are not the kind of guns you use in a sketch show. You need the Tarantino like. Do you legally need to have those little orange tips on guns here for fake guns? I don't know, I would love that though.

We have little orange tips on our fake guns. I think we have them, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's legal. Just so, yeah, in fact, I don't even know if you can paint them black anymore as the Rolling Stones would say. Yeah, my question, my favorite kind of fake gun. So you have a question or now this is turning to a statement?

This is just a full statement. I'm so sorry. All right, please preface everything with, like you're a robot in the future saying declarative. Would you like a question or a statement from Zach? My favorite fake gun is the, did you guys remember the little pirate one? You're miming it right now.

Yeah, this is, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm very uncut, because you're pointing it right at me. Oh yeah, big name. And I don't want an Alec Baldwin situation going on. I've got to hold it down, I've got to hold it down, finger away from the trigger. Okay, thank you. There's like a little pirate one, there was a big one,

and I think they made a lot of them. Pirate deck guns? Oh yeah. Yeah, they had little shooters. There's a little musket. Like a little one shot. Oh yeah, oh yeah, the ones that you'd like have to stuff with paper and the big lung,

it's almost like you're doing a dipstick and an oil change and you're like, and the bullets were like a ball bearing. Yeah, oh cool. They would fuck you up. Fuck your shit up. Yeah, they would fucking shoot. Little hole in the front, blow your fucking back. And then another pirate like looking through your body

going like, oh my god, I can see right through him. Yeah, that's a great thing, that's what would happen. Yeah, I have one of them as a kid and I've always thought it'd be great to do something quite serious, but that's the guns that everyone has. These little weird plastic pirate guns. Like a Tarantino type movie, but with these musketeer guns. And then whenever they shoot, it makes a little

sound. That's my dream of, you know, The Rock said no more guns. The Rock doesn't use guns anymore? Didn't he say no more guns? No more guns in what, in the world? He said, If The Rock were to say it, would people pay attention?

I don't know. I think so. I think he said no more guns in his movies, didn't he? Or no more real guns? He doesn't use real guns. Except for, obviously. So he's big guns too. He has huge, huge, bulging biceps.

Yeah. We love The Rock here. Rock, come on, comedy bang bang. If anyone knows The Rock or wants to tweet at The Rock. How far, do you think that's possible? Because I think- Having The Rock on comedy bang bang? Absolutely not.

Look who I'm talking to right now. That's a very good boy. This is you being generous to us. Surely The Rock could be generous to you. Yeah, give me a hand up. Just the same way I do to the Auntie Donna boys. Would it be an email? Like to an agent or something?

It's never going to happen, bro. I disagree. I think you could get The Rock. Twitter. On this show? On this podcast? When he's doing the next Kevin Hart buddy comedy thing? Uh huh.

Just go like- I am so mentally checked out right now. You're trying to handicap how to get The Rock on this show. As someone who had to organize lots of interviews for a week of press, just be really polite and say please. You would not believe the people who turned down this show.

The Rock will never do it. That's a good podcast. The losers who turned down doing this show. That I have to chase down through publicists and then at the end of this long rabbit hole be told, oh, they don't have time to do anything like this anymore. Really? Is insane.

Yes. Yeah, I love having you guys on because it's a simple, of course it's through intermediaries of course, but it's a simple email. We never speak directly. Thank you. I think you can get The Rock and I'm going to stick with that.

Okay, I appreciate you. Look, I mean, we shot our shot on the U2 show and said we wanted to have U2 on and that came through a couple of times. So it's, you know, let's get The Rock on comedy bang bang. I like it. Yeah, absolutely. Make him do a character.

Yeah, make him do it. I love that character. Mr. Poopy. I mean, Mr. Poopy is not that different from calling yourself The Rock. Yeah. You know what I mean? That's true.

It's pretty equal. Mr. Poopy. It's way Mr. Poopy Johnson. And he's done silly stuff earlier in his career. He did some silly stuff. Sure, he did Baywatch. He did Baywatch. That was fun.

So funny. He can goof about. So the tour, you're saying people come out to see you and they pay money. And they sit. And they see you in person. And they sit in chairs. Yeah, they sit in chairs.

So much of stuff. There's lighting and curtains. We keep them at a distance. And you don't have to bring your own chair. That's the great thing. But you have to bring someone else's? No, no. So you can just show up.

Obviously, there might be a chair in your car, but you should leave that in the car park and you come in. The ones we sit in when we drive in, you don't have to bring those in. You don't have to bring those in. No, no. They're hard to get out. Yeah, they're really hard.

We actually supply, well, we don't supply them. We work with the theater to supply the chairs. OK, there's a different company that supplies the chairs. So we're going to be performing in something called a theater. And they're organizing the lights, the chairs, that sort of thing. That's part of what they do. Their overhead, really. Lights, chairs.

Walls. Walls. Walls. Ceilings. What about that? You bring the ceiling? No, absolutely not. You really just have to bring yourself

and that great attitude laughter. And yeah. And bring the laughter. Laughter is my favorite attitude. Yeah. Laughter. And you guys are playing a number of dates here in the States. But you're also, you're beloved in your home country of Australia.

Is that right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, ish. Ish. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. More when we tricked them and told them that we were doing big in America. You might be showing America like, hey, Americans like it. Oh, so should we say, OK, this is, that part was just for the United States. Now let's do the opposite for, and we'll ship this version off to Australia. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now you guys are huge here in the United States. Yeah.

Yeah. But, I mean. Not really. Oh, come on. Come on, man. Not really. Play the game, man. There's Australian listeners.

We're going to play this. I can't lie. Oh, no. Brood can't lie. OK. But people love you there. And it really is a great time going to see you. It's a fun time at the theater.

Do you have an opener? Is it just you guys? What's happening? No, it's just us. It will be just us. It will be 70 minutes. And the gun boys. 70 minutes.

And the gun boy. Yeah, and the gun boys. Good time, gun boys. Good time, gun boys. Yeah, we're just going to come out. They're doing probably an hour and 40. Yeah, one of them catches a bullet with his teeth. I don't want to get away.

But it is really wild stuff. He shot them out. This is what you're doing. Yeah, you shoot. He catches it in his teeth. He catches it in the sense of like, his head is blown off. Absolutely, yeah. They made a new gun boy.

Oh, I'm sure it's huge for this show. Right. But yeah, it's a really good time to see you guys. And I'm really glad you're back out here. And I love having you guys on the show. It's an honor. And what's that? It's an honor.

Oh, I thought you were saying auntie Donna. I was like, yes. Auntie Donna? He knows. Who do you want to ask? Who do you ask? Auntie Donna. I know you guys.

Sketch. But speaking of auntie Donna, people can go to auntiedonna.com and get all the information. And we're going to take a break. How does that sound? Yeah, I love that. And when we come back, I know, uh, Zach, you have to go, right?

Don't you? I do. Yeah, I've got to go to the, um, to the, um, uh, my house. Oh, your house? Yeah, I've got to go into an aeroplane. Don't worry about that. I can't be here for the next half. OK, got it.

Yeah. But when we come back, we have someone in the food industry and then a little later, someone with a particular skill set. And then a father will be right back with more auntie Donna, more comedy. Bang, bang, we'll be right back after this comedy. Bang, bang, we're back, uh, two thirds of auntie Donna are still with us here.

We have Mark. Hello. Um, and, uh, what? What? What? I just said hello. Yeah, I know. But then you said, you said it, and then you looked embarrassed.

Like you shouldn't have said, oh, I am ashamed of everything that comes out of my mouth. So that's, that's probably why you should be ashamed of what goes into that mouth. Oh, I am. Boy. Um, and, uh, we also have Rodin. Hello. Hello.

And, uh, Zach had to leave too bad. But, uh, we have a very interesting guest coming up. Uh, he works in the food industry. Please welcome to the show for the first time, American Jimmy. Hey there. How are you today? I'm doing really good. Oh, thank you so much.

I'm from America. And my name is Jimmy. Oh, great. Hey, Jimmy. So nice of you. Do I call you American Jimmy? Oh, you can call me whatever. I've not been out of America before.

So, uh, you know, American Jimmy, sure. Not even in Canada or Mexico? Oh, no. I did. Well, I did pass through Canada. I, I was originally from Alaska and I did pass through Canada on my way here in 1978. One of the only ways to get here. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, no, this is, uh, I am an American. Oh, good. Okay. Yeah. So nice to have you on the show. Here's a couple of Australians.

Hello. This is Auntie Donna. Oh, hello. You must try French fries while you are here. Oh, is that? These are real Americans. These are about French fries. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We love to eat French fries with a ketchup sauce. So good to have you on the show. Uh, you, you work in the food industry. I mean, you're talking about food right off the bat. So, uh, yes, I work in an all American diner. Oh, like a fifties diner or? It has a fifties theme, but it is open 24 hours every day. Fifties theme and open 24 hours are not mutually exclusive.

No, it is. Though that is true, but it is, I do not work at a diner in the fifties. Yes, I work now. You work now, but it has a fifties theme, but you wanted to make sure people know that it is open 24 hours a day. Oh, yes. Like a many American diners, it is open 24 hours.

You know what would be great if a 24 hour diner, 12 a.m., it's like 1900s, turn of the century. Yes. Right. And then 1 a.m., it's 1910s. And then 2 a.m., it's the 1920s, the Flappers. Wow. Then 1930s, I do not know what would happen in 1930s.

What are the touchstones? All those were the Knickerbocker days. The Knickerbocker days at 3 a.m. and then the 1940s, you have World War II, you have Fedora. Oh, that would be fun. Yeah, that is at 4 a.m. and then so on and so on. Until you get to the 20s at like 11 p.m. Yeah.

And so just like, and there is a crew running in and they are changing the scenery every hour on the hour. Would you need to tip them, the crew changing? That's another group that you'd have to tip, but I think you'd love it. I think you'd love it. I understand tipping. You do.

It is something I am familiar with. Because you're from America. Oh, yes, I can get, you give me a number, I will tell you the 15 to 25% of it. Okay, say my check is $248. That's a great question, $240. Eight, $248. Yes, I know the 20% of that.

Yeah, well, you said 10 to 15. Well, 10, I could tell you the 15, the 25, if the service is exceptional. Okay, go ahead then. Oh, no, I don't need to share the specifics, but I need you to know that I do know it. Okay, got it. Wow, interesting.

This guy knows his stuff from America. You were born here, right? Yes, I was born in Alaska. While I was born in Alaska, yes, and I have documents proving my time in Alaska back to 1972. Really? Do you know? What's this?

Juneau? Juneau? Juneau? Juneau. Juneau, the film. Oh, Juneau. No, Juneau, Alaska. Is that where you're from?

Is that what I'm asking? Sure, Juneau. Sure, I'm from Juneau, Alaska. Oh, okay. Yes, and I have documents on my person to prove it. Oh, you do? Yeah, I can show you those documents. You're padding your breast pockets.

Oh, yes, I keep all of the documents that trace me back all the way back to 1972. I'm sure there are more documents, but let us not get into the specifics. Interesting. This guy's a really interesting person. He's an American man from Juneau, Alaska. Yeah, Juneau, Alaska.

It's fun to be in Los Angeles, the place of Hollywood movies. That's right, yeah. Hollywood movies are not only filmed here, they're also sometimes set here. Yes, I particularly love the television show La Brea because it depicts the La Brea Street. It depicts one street in Los Angeles. Yes.

And in fact, one intersection where there are tarpids. Oh, yes, in those tarpids, it turns out are small holes to another dimension with dinosaur. Hey, you're speaking my language right now. I'm a La Brea stan. Oh, yes. I know everything about La Brea. A stan, of course, a reference to Eminem, a fantastic reference.

And a reference to the lead of La Brea. I mean, the lead character's name is Stan. Oh, yeah, I am sure he is. I am sure his name is Stan, and he goes down to the dinosaur world. Yep, you said diner. Oh, yes, that is where I work. Diner, yes, I serve French fries and Reuben sandwiches.

Reuben, wow, what about burgers, the most American of foods? Oh, yes, I love a burger. I love to put the meat between two pieces of bread. Yeah, great. It is a meatball, yes, but you can hold it with your hands. It's like a flattened meatball. Yes, we press the meatball down on the all-American grill. Yeah, that's how you make a hamburger here in America

is you get some spaghetti and meatballs, toss the spaghetti. And wipe away the sauce. Wipe away the sauce, you don't want any of that sauce. No, sauce is gross. A ketchup sauce, yes. Love ketchup sauce, but that other tomato sauce on the meatball, wipe it off. No.

Just flatten it on the grill. And then, of course, nut cheddar or Jack though we put in all-American cheese at the meatball. Love it or leave it. Exactly, wow. Wow, you really know your stuff. You're an interesting guy. Yeah.

Any questions here for? Are you from America? Oh, yes, absolutely. I have not come, I came to America. Well, you came. Wait, you came to America? I came to the mainland from Alaska in 1978 with the documents in my pocket to prove it.

You're six years old? No, I was 23 at the time. In 78, you were 23? Yes. Why did you mention 1972 earlier? This is how far back we can trace my time in Alaska with the documents I can supply to you. So when you were 17 years old, you got these documents?

Yes. Well, these are documents from maybe work I did or perhaps some council complaints. Various documents. Council complaints? What are those? We don't say that here in America. Oh, no, a council.

Yes, that is a good point. Do you see them from America? If you say. Yes, I have an American license. I have an American. License to do what? To drive an automobile. The most American car.

He knows his style. He knows his lingo. Ever since my hero Ford, Mr. Ford. Henry Ford? Yes. You like his politics, right? Oh, no, I sure. I love it.

If he was a capitalist, then yes. OK. But I love capitalism. Hmm. Yeah, I love it. Let the two. Well, I believe him. Yeah, I'm on board.

You're on board. What's that bro? American men. Yes, a broden. I love a broden, a strong American name. For me, yeah. My favorite television shows are from America. Name your top 10 shows.

Top 10. Absolutely. The top 10. Top 10 shows. Not just any 10. The top 10. And you suppose maybe I will refer to shows from Europe in this moment, from sort of.

But no, I would say I love Lucy is number 10. And this is in Descending Order? Or this is in Ascending Order? The number one show is my favorite show. OK, so it's in Ascending Order. Because you're going top 10 right now. Yeah. So I love Lucy's 10.

What's nine? Number nine has got to be Gilligan's Island. Those silly folk from America on that little island. They make it work. The professor and the beautiful redheaded lady. What's good about how they make it work? Well, you know, they use that great American ingenuity. The can-do spirit.

The can-do spirit that we formed on the frontier. And they say, we will not let this island consume us with depression and anger and hatred. We will not fall into a Lord of the Fries situation. Hey, man, Lord of the Fries. Oh, my goodness. You're not from America. Oh, my goodness.

Lord of the Fries. Oh, my. It is true. Who the fuck are you? I am a KGB agent. What? Jesus, that was so easy to get that out of me. That's a slight misstep.

What the hell is that? Yeah, you'll have gotten me. KGB? Yeah, I don't even call it that anymore, I don't think. No, I mean, I have not heard back from the motherland since 1989. You've been here that long, really? It's very similar to the American program, The Americans.

Oh, yeah. I have a friend who was the basis. He worked for the CIA at the time. Oh, wow. Yeah. They based the next-door neighbor character on him. That is very cool. Is that the first time you've broken your cover,

or is it just that easy to break your cover? Well, no one has ever suspected we have- You've never had to mention Lord of the Fries before. No, and it's interesting. I usually, my prevalence to saying the word fries plays in my favor. I know, but not this time, buddy. I saw right through it. Yeah, that is very interesting.

If someone even had nuance, I was to talk of potato salad as an alternative to fries. Yeah, no. Hey, what happened in 1989? Did you like move and not change your number, or you did change your number and didn't forward it? No, that was around the time that the communist regime really started to crumble.

The wall came down, yeah. And obviously, it didn't completely fall apart until the early 90s, but they were not reaching out to me from 89. Perestroika, glasnost, et cetera. Yeah, all those sorts of things. But you got to understand, I don't know a lot about that, because I was focusing more on American culture.

Hey, you've been here so long. Yeah, this is my real accent now. Oh, really? It is a flawless American accent, not because of practice, but because of time. Just from being here. Yeah. I don't mean to be rude.

Yes. But eight was Gilligan's Island. Oh, you want the rest of my life. I loved Gilligan's Island. No, Gilligan's Island was nine. That was nine. Yeah, I'd love to hear the topic. Yeah, absolutely.

I've got to be honest with you. There are a couple of... No. A couple of Russian shows. I was going to say there are a couple of Russian shows, but I realized I didn't put that much thought into this character. I don't know what you're talking about.

So, I've got to say, okay, number eight for my favorite American show, got to be Cheers. Pfft, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Oh, yes. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. I went... The new way the world is today is going to give everything you can.

God, go on, sing it. Well, now I don't sing too much. You know? Here's the thing. People say, well, if you love Cheers, you must love Frazier, but I find it sensibilities to European. Cheers is the common man, whereas Frazier is...

I like to laugh at Frazier, not with him, you know? Exactly, yes. I'm American, and so Frazier for me, a little hypher-lutin. All right. Yeah, Friends is there in the list. I love Cheers. In the list at seven? Yeah, yeah.

I think that Chandler is so sarcastic. He's almost too sarcastic sometimes. He is a sarcastic man, but it is the fact that the other American friends, they never pick up on it. Yeah, they never say like, Chandler, take it down one notch at least or something. And I'm not being sarcastic when I say that.

That was a cruel thing to say, or a sarcastic thing to say, and that is what makes it American, is the way they do not pick up on his statements. Yeah. Some people think that it's just them overlooking it and saying, like, we love Chandler, even though he's a fucking pain in the ass, but you think they don't get that he's being sarcastic.

I think they are oblivious. I want to say that scene in Friends, which is, it was not in the room, and they're like, ah, fuck it. He's a fucking god. God, man. And he keeps coming over here every fucking day. He runs my fucking gears every time he races.

Oh, shit. Christ. He's playing all these six shit. Hey, Chandler. Hey, what's up game, man? Why does he keep playing all these jokes to a wall? Yeah. All these sarcastic, oh, statement about the fourth wall of it.

Yeah. All right, top six. Sick comp. Oh, we've got six going. Six more to go. I love that you are challenging me with this list. You know, well, there we go. I've got to go with Last of Us.

It isn't over yet. But yeah, it is a really great show. Yeah, everything else has been a sitcom. But yeah, it's only rebeering into drama. Well, you know, it's HBO and they stuck with that quality. HBO. There it is. I hear it.

Home box office. Yeah. HBO. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I love a HBO ever since Sex and the City. And of course. Was that one of your favorites?

No, they're not on the list. But you love it since then. Sex and the City of Sopranos. No, they got bombed from the list. Put it on the list. Got it. I saw that you made you made me do the list. So when I saw those two things, you know,

I knew that HBO was special. It was like a movie in parts. Yeah. Top five. Top five. Yes, I do wish I had listed those two things. But no, it's the new. It's the new Sex and the City.

Oh, and just like that. And just like that. You love it so much. You can't remember the title. Yes, I love it so much. I can't remember the title. And you like it better than the original. Yeah, I love that the show is now about women in their fifties,

which is court. Oh, is that your kink or? No, I just think that it's really a different theme. I love that they don't hang out with each other as much. Yeah, I love that about that. I love that. It's like the friends. We should check back in on the friends and see if they ever hang out together.

I doubt it. Let's see if the friends now have other friends, you know. Yeah. The other friends. This is a great idea. This is good. Yes. And I just think.

I'm mailing this to myself as we speak. I like that they took the most dynamic, interesting character, and they have her live in London now. Yeah, I think that the great move. I think they had a choice. It's like continuing with Cheers After Frasier Leaves and goes to Seattle. Yeah, it's like I love that they thought to themselves we have no option.

We are making this show with or without her. Do they make Frasier the spin-off because no one else wanted to have a show? That's what it is. Like everyone's like, we're tired of this. And the one guy who's like, I still want to do it is Frasier. Well, that was Joey. You remember the Joey? She's like, I'm still into this.

I'm still loving this. Maybe I go to LA. Yeah. That's why that's my number four. That's super far, Joey. Joey. Tritiani. Oh, I love his adventures.

Why don't they call it How You Do It? How You Do It. With Joey. Of course, the catchphrase of Joey, if you don't know it. If you're not familiar with American culture. So you like Joey more than friends? Yes. I think that it is great to see him.

Any fish out of element, fish out of element. Any element, fish out of fire, fish out of earth. Fish out of air? I don't like this. Joey has always been a Los Angeles man. He has. And so why was he in New York in the first place? What are you doing in New York?

No, get back to your roots. Get to the sun. Get to the beautiful women. Get to where the actors are. Absolutely. You know, all the jobs are here in LA. So that is top three. Top three.

Yeah, I got to keep going with that list of television shows. I love television. I could ask you about your days as a spy and all that, but I'm more interested in the television shows. I mean, mostly it's been this. Just watching TV? Yeah, you watch the James Bond. It's not a lot of that.

It's me just sort of living in America. That's the thing. When you watch a James Bond movie, like he arrives at the hotel and he makes plans to like meet someone in the bar in like three hours. We don't see him like ordering room service, watching TV, jerking off. Yeah, what does he do when he's down time?

You know what I mean? It's like, that's the movie I want to see. That's the movie I want to see too. Exactly. Why not a prequel to Americans where they're just living life in America? Yes. That would be nice.

Now, is the Americans in your top? No, no. It's not an accurate representation. What was the inaccurate about it? Their accents were too precise. Oh, what about the wig? Are you wearing a wig right now? Absolutely.

Because I can smell spirit gum. Underneath my wig is a very Russian haircut. Yeah. What is it? Asymmetrical? What is a Russian hair cut? No, it is very precise. I need the free flowing locks of an American man.

Oh, I see. And you couldn't just grow them by yourself? No, this is not allowed in Russian constantly. You've got to wear wigs. Yeah, no, absolutely. When you're a spy, you've got to wear wigs? You've got to wear wigs and different glasses. Oh, right, yeah.

Sometimes I put on a fake nose to go to the shops. Oh, that's a fake nose? No, not now. Just sometimes. Oh, I'm so sorry. I put it on for the shopping. I'm so sorry. And that sort of thing.

Also, I put a little hole in the... In the nose? Well, no, I put little holes in the newspaper. Oh, and I hold the newspaper up to my face. Oh, yeah. Like you're a pirate looking through the body of someone who's been shot. Absolutely.

And then maybe there's Americans planning the sort of government things. Have you ever caught any plans or sent anything back to Russia or anything like that? Well, I mean, this newspaper trick, they think I'm reading the newspaper. I've heard about many American things. Are you just reading the newspaper

and sending it back to Russia? All this stuff is... Absolutely. I'm just shooting them through. It's like they don't get the newspapers until four days later. I may as well say this is something that... Mostly I send them the TV stuff. As you know, I'm a big TV fan.

That's right, of course. We haven't heard your top two, by the way. Oh, no, we were at the top two, are we? Oh, that's good. I thought we were at top three, so I will stick with two. I'll take three. Okay, sure. Great.

I'm so glad that I said that. Number three, you know, that's Le Brea. Oh, of course. Yeah, it was Stan. Well, that's set on a Le Brea street. It's set on Le Brea and Fairfax, is it? Or no, Le Brea and Beverly, maybe? I don't know exactly what part of Le Brea.

I know they shot it in Port Melbourne. Yeah, they shot it where we're from. Really? Yeah. They shot Melbourne. Is that because the dinosaurs are there or...? Yes, that's right. Yeah, we've still got dinosaurs.

They have still got dinosaurs. Oh, no. Wait a minute. Hold on. Oh, no. Are you not from Russia? No, I am an Australian spy. I was going to say...

You're an Australian spy. One of the fries is an Australian burger French. It certainly is. It's a vegan Australian burger. Yes. Are you even a TV fan? Yes, I do love American television. So, how can you be a real accent?

Okay. Hello. Hello, Le. If you're from Australia... Hey, what is this? All I haven't talked in my Australian accent since the 60s. What does KGB stand for? Oh, so you need to understand I was an Australian spy hired to spy on Russia.

And then I found myself in a situation where they wanted me to spy on America. Oh, no. So, this is a dilemma for me. A dilemma? Wait, a dilemma? You're not Australian. Oh, no. Where are you from?

I'm a lime. A what? I'm a lime. Lime? I'm a lime. You're the fruit, the lime? I'm a lime. Yeah, I'm a...

You're just a lime? I'm a slice of lime. What? I was hired by... This makes sense. Oh, my God. That is why every time I've been having a gin and tonic, you've been trying to get in there.

That's absolutely right. I was hired by the citrus industry. You brought like five gin and tonics here to drink during the show. And he keeps getting on top of them and just squeezing himself. That's true. Well, I've never had a lime on the show. I've had a potato on the show, but never a lime. So...

That is where this ends. So, I don't think you need to dig any deeper. Well, if you ever misspeak again... I'm a lime. I'll tell you what. Yeah, by the way. All right, speak. I didn't realise limes just have a more natural Australian accent,

which is really terrible. Oh, yeah, mate. I'll wait until I'm back. Oh, no, that's my... Yeah, no, lime just sounds a lot like Zach. All right. Well, we have a lime on the show. Incredible.

I mean, you know, you said you were in the food industry, which was kind of the truth. That's true. How did we get to lime? I missed that. Delime. He said, he meant to say dilemma. He spoke in the Hymer Lime.

He revealed his tricks. We were zoning out for the best thing ever. But no, I think you need to understand here. I was always a lime. It's how you figured out I was a lime. Yeah, exactly. You know? And I'm just a slice of lime.

So you say food industry, I'm more for drinks and cocktails. All right. Great, so happy you're on the show. I'm really glad that this is what I'm sticking with. Just a slice of lime. And now, Mark, I know you have to go, so... I'm going. Yeah.

I need to go sit back on your toilet. You're drunk now, at this point, with all these gin and tonics. I'm so drunk. Yeah, so anyway, nice to see you. Lovely to see you. Bye. All right, we'll see you later.

Brodin, you're the only Auntie Donna person here left, unfortunately. Yeah. They did shoot La Brea in Melbourne, funnily enough. This is where you started zoning out, by the way. You said that, and then you just went into a reverie about all the shooting schedules and the call sheets. They shot it at our studio.

We shot a TV show recently across the hallway, not on the road from them. Okay. So you heard him talk about La Brea, and you wanted to talk about yourself. Yeah. And the TV show you shot. Because I saw them shooting at Scott.

Okay, interesting. Scott, I saw it. We're here with one person of Auntie Donna. I didn't know you were shooting. And a line. But we need to get to our next guest. He is someone with a particular skill set. Please welcome to the show for the first time, Silly Boy.

Hello. Hi. Hello, hello, wooh. Silly Boy. Hello, I'm Shweewee Boy. Hi, Silly Boy. Hi, it's nice to be on your show. Oh, welcome to, this is Brodin.

Oh, hello, wooh-wooh. I know him. This is, wooh-wooh may I have a very good friend. Well, you know him? Yeah, he's a regular. Oh, a regular, what? On our podcast. I'm a regular Shweewee.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I see. I thought you meant his pants size. You know, I think he might also be. Not much more. Oh, you're a small. Yeah, I'm a tiny, tiny, whiny Shweewee. Oh, okay. Oh, so you guys know each other.

How interesting. Do you know the lime? I don't, you know, I'm sorry. I don't know your name. Is it Johnny or Jimmy? No, it's just slice of lime. We don't do names. Oh, limes don't do names?

No, it's a bit of a bog sort of situation. Oh, that sounds very Shweewee to me. Oh, wow. You're cool. That sounds Shweewee. Oh, this one's cool. No, I'd be not having them just very Shweewee. How would you tell me to allow a plot?

What? So he does this. So he does this. He does. Oh, he does this. Yeah. Oh, that explains it. He does this.

Lucky that Zach left because I reckon Zach would fucking hate silly boy. Now, Shweewee boy, but Shweewee boy out. Best point. Oh, silly boys. Silly boy has the power to point out. He think what you point out. Did you come here with with Auntie Donna?

No, I sort of, I follow with them around. And I think it's very Shweewee that I do that. But I'm not Shweewee. He does this. Whoa. He does this. What is this? Well, I'm not Shweewee.

They always think I'm Shweewee, but I'm not Shweewee. Oh, wait a minute. You're silly boy. You point out things that are silly, but you're not silly yourself. I'm not Shweewee. Yeah, he does that. But I can tell when someone is being a Shweewee,

baby. Right now, you're laughing at me. And that's very Shweewee. No, I think. I see. Here's my opinion. Well, I'm being Shweewee. That you're silly.

Because no, my, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what. Because the way you're talking is so silly. No, that's not Shweewee. You're not even saying the word silly properly. It's Shweewee. It's Shweewee. And I'm Shweewee. I'm Shweewee boy.

But I'm not, but I'm not Ashweewee boy. So he does this. He does this. What the heck? Being Shweewee. So he does this on your show. Yeah. I do this on this show and when someone sent me a death threat.

A death threat? Well, yeah, somebody said, you should go Quill yourself. Because you're too Shweewee. And I said to them, I think you're being Shweewee. So then I walked to them. Someone thought you were too silly. You're not silly at all. We should just make that plan.

I am not Shweewee. And any of our congratulations are on that Shweewee boy. It's a very long, false one. Okay. You're just someone who points out when things are silly. Wish. Wish it ish. So he said, and there's...

And you're here to translate for him? Is that what you do? I guess so. So there's inconsistencies in his speech impediments. So sometimes a yes is a y is a w. Is a w. I'm sorry, this is a speech impediment. No, it's not.

He's putting this shit on. He's putting this shit on, Scott. Sheawee, what he's doing now. He just changes it up every fucking second. He's pretending to be Mwad. No, I'm not. But yes, you are. When you say Mwad, you mean math.

Yeah. Mwad. So this is not a speech impediment. This is a choice. He's doing... I'm just swilly boy. Swilly boy, don't be swilly boy. Why is he always going to be,

what are you doing? Dweesh, are you doing? Blah. And Zach hates silly boy. Yeah. Zach hates him more than me. Yeah. So are you hate him?

I think he's pretty bad. But it's like he's actually here, man, because I'm lying. I'm all right with this. He went, you like it. Yeah, I guess so. I guess slice of line likes this. I would swive if you're wishing

very closely to the way there's butchwork of a swilly boy. Yeah, this. Oh, yeah. That actually, they're being a bit swilly. Yeah, I guess so, mate. Slice of lime? Cosines.

Yeah. Sounds like. Swash of lime is very swilly. I like that cowock, darling. Oh, I'll give my little quissy-wissy-sicky wiki. Thank you so much. I'm glad you like it. So you choose to talk like this.

No, this is just swilly boy. Swilly boy, much like if we're just joker, he just whiz. Okay. Like Heath Ledger's joke that he just these. Yeah, no, I heard. Yeah, I understood that the whiz instead of his. Well, I have no black swalloy.

Backstory. Man, I got shash on my face. I figured out his, the way he's getting it. Yeah, his speech. Westy Tessie. Okay. I don't know what Westy Tessie is. I think that's yes.

Who was? Maybe I was Westy, maybe I was Mwah. No, I don't know that. Silly boy, would it surprise you to learn we're out of time on this segment? What are you waiting for? Swilly boy, what do you want to do? I wish I'm a swilly.

Why don't you have any tone this season? I know, I'm pretty, I get it. Unfortunately, we are running out of time. We need to go to a break. But when we come back, Silly boy may or may not be here and we have a father coming up. We have a father coming up

after the break on the other side of this. We'll be right back with more Auntie Donna, more American, oh no, I'm sorry, not American Jimmy, just a slice of lime. Silly boy, we're not quite sure if he's coming back or not. We'll have a twiqe swilly boy. We'll be right back with more comedy bang bang after this.

Comedy bang bang, we're back here. We have a slice of lime here, is here with us. Yeah. Yeah, how are you doing? Yeah, I'm doing all right. How are you doing? Yeah, how are you doing? Yeah, I haven't watched Joey.

Right, you've never seen it. I mean, you don't have eyes. Yeah, no, I don't have eyes. I have seeds that work very similarly to eyes. Oh, you do? Yeah, so the seeds pick up on some light signals. Sensory kind of, obviously you can hear unless you're just, are you a lip reader or?

Well, that would, no, no, my hearing is the vibrations of my lime juice. Oh, I see. Okay, got it. I mean, it's a lot like how our ears work. It's the vibrations. Absolutely. Our brain interprets them in a certain way.

And the talking is, I've got a little bit of it. I'm telling you for a really long time, because I'm, after I'm done with you, I have to turn over here. Turn over. That's why I'm a swillie boy. Silly boy's back. You can't quill swillie boy.

No matter how many DMs you swend him on Instagram. You can't kill him. Don't say you're still here. Don't say, like, Instagram. Oh, you're leaving now. I'm off, boy. Okay, see ya. Well, we have to get to our next guest.

He's a father. This is incredible. I'm a new father. We'll see if he's an old father or a new father or something in between. But please welcome Australian dad on a holiday. Yeah, good day. How you going?

Hey, good. How are you? Yeah, I'm not bad. Big bloody 48, 49 hour flight. What? Absolutely cooked me. 49 hour flight. A 14 hour flight.

Yeah, we just gave a man, the wife, rave over for the weekend. Come over here. Then we go in New York. Then we're doing, going up, seen a bit of Boston. A bit of basketball. Then going up to Toronto.

Yeah. She's got a friend from work who moved up there. And then we're heading back home. Right. We had a big trip. We're waiting a few years for this one. Oh, okay. Great.

Well, welcome to the States. Yeah, no, it's good. Big portions. Oh, well, when you go out to eat or just when you make your own food, you take a big portion? No, well, at home, you just get a little poor,

little Palmer and chips you go, geez, that's enough. And then you come over here, Christ almighty. Yeah, it's different over here, I guess. Christ. Yeah, he's miming, by the way, a very big portion.

And I sit there and go, hey, am I going to finish this? Yeah. And there's no chance of it. Yeah, well, leftovers, I guess, although you're on vacation. I'll sort it out. I'll sort it out in the end.

Yeah. But our lovely to be on. Yeah, great to have you. You're an Australian dad on a holiday. So you have a family. That's pretty much it, yeah. And this is what you do. This is what I do.

And so long flight, chucked a few on the screen, a few movies here or there, but I'm passed out for about three, four hours. This is a line, by the way, a slice of line. Hey, how are you? I'm all right with this character. But I'm sitting there.

I'm all right with silly boy. Oh, wow. Silly boy, what do we think of Australian dad on a holiday? All right, look, where he did that, where he's going to say, where he was talking about portion. Yeah.

I just went down to a boy. What? Where he said down to a boy. What? Yeah, portion size of two being that's right. Silly boy. Yes, that's right. Oh, for that we're very swirly fling to sway.

Yeah, I know, they love a big meal. That's what I'm saying. Why are you waffling that? I enjoy you, silly boy. I just like, I waff your plot clash because when I wish into it, I go, oh, he's being swirly. Must happen every 20 seconds or so.

There's where we're full of plot blasts that I wish. So you enjoy putting out things that are silly? It's what it's the only fling I do. It seems like it. Why have no depth to this kind of wane swaying things that are swirly? So you think he's silly? Disquiet the world here.

Yeah, this is personal. The Dwead. Yeah, the what? The Dwead. The Dwead. The Dwead. The Dwead. The Dwead.

The Dad. Oh, the Dad. Yes, no, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I forgot the W. On a swirly squail? Yep. One to win? Sure.

Okay, one. What? So not very silly. Or unless one's the best. What does he do this time? This is what he does. This is what he does apparently. You're wrong.

Is he so fucking lucky Zach's not here? Oh, man. Does he be hating this? He'd hate it, but you love it. Yeah, I think it's great and funny and really good. Not gross at all. See, I laugh at you silly boy, because I think you're silly,

but I feel like something's being lost in translate. Don't leave fucking swish way on swirly. I'm sorry. Oh, fucking. Quat you. You're what? I'll quat you up. Cut me.

I'll quat you. You're cut. So this is silly. I have to laugh. Hey, I'd glare you. I'm sorry. I don't need to laugh if this truly is like a medical condition or a physical.

No, you're choosing to talk like this. I'm being swish way, way. I'm never being more swish way. So you thank you for interpreting. I'm never being more swish in my wife. On your wife. My wife. In my wife.

My wife. My wife. My wife. My wife. My wife. My wife. My wife? No, my wife.

My wife. My entire wife. Okay, silly boy. I think we're at an understanding here. Very good. Have you seen the Australian? Have you seen that turbo? Where's the elsewhere turbo?

I saw it on the plane, this fast snail. Oh, the animated movie, Turbo. Yes. It's a bunch of fast snails. Yeah, checked it on. There's a fast snail. What did you flink off with? I thought it was pretty good.

What did you think of it, silly boy? I thought I wish we were we. I mean, the idea of fast snails. I thought, swales are schwo. Yeah. That's what I thought. I thought, here we go. A race with snails.

What's going on here? Checked it on. He's bloody tearing up the road. So fun. Yeah. And I thought it was for kids, but there's something in it for the adults as well. Sure.

I bet there's jokes that sail over the kids' heads, but the adults love. And they go, you know what? I didn't waste my money. These fucking kids of mine dragged me to this and made me go see it because it's marketed towards them. But there's enough jokes in here that I'm like. And in school holidays, you've got three kids.

You come, you bring them in, you get a pop. They all want a popcorn each. They all want a drink. Right. All of a sudden, you're 158 in your pocket. Yeah. Is that that's Australian? What is that in American dollars?

Do we know? That's $9,000. $9,000? Australian dollars converts to the back. What did I say? 150 Americans. 150 Americans. 9,000 Australian, roughly.

Wow. I didn't realize it was so far off in money. We are very far off in money. That's why I only donated to us in America. What is the, what are they called money in Australia? You wouldn't know, Lime. No, I'm from the Citrus farm. Right.

Yeah, but what do they call money there? Dollars. They call them dollars? Yeah, yeah. Then they should just be the same. I agree. You know what I mean? I don't think that's how it works though.

I think it's more to do with value of your country's exports and imports and things like that. Yeah, probably. But it should just be the same. Yeah, at the end of the day. I mean, yeah. See, it's fiat money. Yeah, yeah.

That's it. When I got over here, we got a bit of cash before we came over. Yeah. And I looked at it and I said, what the hell is this? Same color. It has all different colors going. Yeah, you're right. Yours is green.

Yours is green. So I go, one's green and the others are different colors. See, that's a better way. Because what we have to do, every type of bill is green. You got to look at the fucking picture. That's what I've been doing. Of some old white man. That's what I've been doing.

So I pull and I go, Jay, am I giving him a hundred? Am I giving him a dollar? What's going on? Yeah, what am I giving you? Abraham Lincoln? Or is this a what? You know, it's like, come on. I'm stuffed.

I'm stuffed. I don't know why. Yeah, you got to know like our entire American history. And by the way, Abraham Lincoln wasn't our fifth president. He was like 17 or he should be on the $17 bill. Oh, right. He should be on the five. It should be, there should be a dollar for the order.

For the order. So we should have Obama bills, which are 44. Really? They're worth $44. Yeah, I like that idea. Do you really think that? I'm being silly. Do you?

I thought so. I'm sorry. I thought we were twingoing back in my neck. I'm sorry, silly boy. No, it's not. It's what we. No, you like it. Why, why have people banged, will we?

OK. Then why do you want to point it out so much? Because it's like, Spurridum win. With white play, white qualms, white will sponsor, will we? So you have the power in order to notice when something's silly. Which? And so the responsibility you have is to point it out.

Which? Which it has a messy kissy. But silly boy. Look at Amira sometime. Why? Not your physical appearance. Although. Oh, now I'm a bit shwexy.

But I don't get him anywhere near. I wouldn't know this. I'm the lion. Right. Don't getting anywhere near sex. It's really gross. Oh, really? No.

I want to have shwexy. Oh, god. You don't understand. I don't like it being called sexy, sexy. I want to have my shwexy. I'm just guessing I'm the lion. But you really don't want to go into it. I mean, I'll ask one or two questions about sex.

Like, what is your favorite way to answer? My favorite way to have shwex is from blue wine. OK. Silly boy, this is no longer silly. Wait. I love a sh. I love a. This is gross.

This is gross. I love a spanky and a wanky. OK. All right, silly boy. Wow. Now you're just disturbing. I'm not wanky. I think you're quink-swaming.

I may be. Don't quink-swamey, m'wee. If your kink is talking about sex and making me listen to it, yes, I am kink-swaming. OK. I didn't reflect any swilliness there. OK. Yeah, that was deadly serious.

So, Australian dad, how long are you here? We're coming in for a fortnight, actually, so. Fortnight. How long is a fortnight again? Because it's been so long since we have had to say that word. Yeah, two weeks, mate. Two weeks. So, yeah, just in here, going over to New York,

a bit of Boston, up Toronto. Liberty Bell. Excuse me? Liberty Biberty. Liberty Biberty. Oh, I know that. Now, the Liberty Bell. Are you seeing the Liberty Bell?

No, where are we? I wouldn't know. Where do we go? It's been cracking it. Oh, jeez. Oh, you could get a bit of sillies in there, cleaning it up. Bit of sillies?

Bit of sillies. No, not sillies. Not sillies. No, not sillies. Pretty much just a bit of corp, bit of sillies chuck in there, clean it up. OK, yeah.

Interesting. You ever see a kangaroo? Oh, mate, yeah. No, that's the thing, Ross. You like to think we ride them to work. Don't you? No, you ride in their pockets to work. Yeah, that's what you think.

And we, yeah, we do, mate. I'm not under-winking at you, but no, we don't. We have cars, we have trains. Your cars. Cars, trains, trims, planes. Are the cars in the shape of boomerangs? No, not in the shape. No, they're just a norm.

But some planes are. Some planes are in the shape of boomerangs. Yeah, they are. Like, you see those, like, the US military as a whole, but like stealth planes, they're in the shape of boomerangs. Oh, yeah, I guess a stealth plane is in the shape of a boomerang.

So when you see that, you kind of go like, you're stealing our shit. Yeah, absolutely, I think. Yeah, that would be good. But you're not going to get at the shop when you come to the airport, are you? Yeah. How many holidays do you take a year? We take about 26.

Yeah, we're at 26 a year with, because we're in the twilight years now, so the kids are out. 26 two-week holidays? Yeah, 26 two-week holidays. And we are, because the kids are out of school now, and we've got to have fun. And that's what we say to the kids.

We work hard so you can play hard in your later years. So we went up to Nusa. Nusa. Yeah, it's nothing Queensland, and it's just nice. Yeah. It's nice. So the beach is there. There's a nice strip there of Betty's Burgers. We go to Betty's Burgers.

And then we also go on to Port Douglas. Port Douglas is hot around this year, but don't get in the water, because the Crocs are in there. Okay. But then we'll also do a staycation. So you could go into the city of Melbourne. Sure.

Go in there, look at the things, see a show. Then go home. Oh, yeah, yeah, no, I agree. Yeah, yeah, totally, I totally agree. It sounds like fun. Sounds like interesting. You think we ride kangaroos to it, don't you? No, I thought you wrote in their pouches.

I already told you this. Yeah, but we don't. No, I know. You said you have cars in the shapes of boomerangs. No, I guess so, yes, but more so. And Crocodile Dundee is your Uber driver. Yeah, that's what they think over here, isn't it? Right.

That's what they think. No, it's not the case. It's not the case. Who's your Uber driver? Or just many different ones. Oh, okay. So it's not one guy? No.

Driving everyone in the country all around? No, it's at least Ann for the Uber drivers in Australia. So five, you're saying? No, I guess I'm saying at least five, yeah. But probably thousands, I'll just say. Yeah, so many handfuls. Yeah, but you would. Yeah, 200 handfuls.

Well, now I think we're getting into semantics about how many Uber drivers. And I think it would fluctuate and change. Sure, I mean, some quit. I'm actually, I'm going to Uber driver a little bit. I've had a gut for with my work. Oh, really? I was working for an asshole.

And I thought, I'm just going to Uber drive a bit, two days a week, a bit of pocket money. You'll pay for trips. Sure. Oh, yeah, no. I mean, that sounds, that's cool or it's not cool. I'm not sure. Whichever, however you feel about it, I feel about it.

Oh, no. Well, you know, it's that Twilight years. So we're just. Twilight years, yeah. How old are you? 28. So you're, meaning you're a fan of Twilight, the series of books about the vampire that glows?

That's right. Yeah, we're in that Twilight years. So when that came out in 2008, we just loved it. And me and the wife came and the kids come and, you know, 150 bucks by the time we get in, but it was actually pretty good. Sure. So they, that vampire is fast. Okay.

Yeah. No, no, yeah. He's fat, which is good, right? Or it's bad. I think it's good. I think it's good to have a fast vampire. Yeah, it's good to have a fast vampire. It's all my belief, mate.

That's the thing. Sure. It's all just a bit of fun. Yeah. Fun and funds, funds. Good. Fun's good. It is good.

Yeah. I guess so at the end of the day, because you want to work at your Twilight years. You want to have fun. Twilight years, of course. Yeah, it's fun. It's fun stuff. It's fun.

And we like fun. Don't we? Yeah. And fast vampires are good. Fast vampires are good. Yeah. Okay. Where do they shoot that?

Where they shoot Twilight? That's right. If I had to guess Vancouver. Oh, not getting there. No, you're not, you're not going there? We should go up there. Do they do, do they do tours of it and stuff like that? Or tours of what?

Vancouver or the, the Twilight movie? The Twilight movie. Do they have a bus? Do you know neighbors? Do I, do I know neighbors? I have neighbors. Is that what you're asking? No, we have a soap in Australia.

You probably don't know. Kylie Minogue was on it. Yeah, I know neighbors. Right, you do. She rode around on the kangaroo. So tourists come in from England. They hop on the bus. They go see it.

I wonder if they've got one for vampires. They should. Oh, I guess it would have to be at night, I guess, in order to see them. Well, not in that movie. No, they walk around during the day. Do they walk it around in that movie during the day? I think so.

These aren't vampires. These are just Goths. They try to hide in the Shwaid. They try to hide in the Shwaid. I mean, there's a lot of shit. I mean, the more we build, honestly, buildings are all around us. You just kind of walk on the one side of the street.

Because their screen is like Dwightman's. So if people see them in Dwight, then people will be like, why is your skin shiny and I got Dwightman? And then they'll know they're our employee. So they try. So they walk around in, they do walk around in the Dwight,

but they stay in the Shwaid. So why have you watched Twilight, man? I like you as a character. I like silly boys. You like silly boys. Because I'm on the line right now about Zach. You're not Zach. Because Zach would hate this.

Yeah, I think it's a bit weird. That he knows about Twilight. Yeah. Why do you know so much about Twilight? Just, you know, good Shwaid. There's nothing silly in Twilight. Yeah, it's not a silly movie. No, that's a fun.

I think that's why it's good, because it's nice to have a whiplove. So you like going to see Twilight for you is like taking the day off. Yeah, it's just nice to sweat in a worm and just say, but you know, isn't Twilight kind of silly? No. I mean, he's like a vampire that glows.

No, no. He's like got glitter skin. No, no, it's very, it's very swilliest. Okay. I think liking it is kind of silly though. It makes me quiet every time. It makes you cry? It makes me cry.

When she, when her, when her body goes very thin and then she bends over herself and breaks her own spine. And it turns out- Is that what happens in that movie? Oh, yeah. She breaks her own spine? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She just sort of like collapses. Turns into a bloody horror for about, and this is not silly. No. Wow. She has a little vampire baby enshrined for sucking away her wife's force. Wait a minute.

Her vampire baby is like sucking her blood from the inside? Wish. The call is coming from inside the house? Wish. And then her body snaps. And tronely, tronely, it's a bit swirly. That's what I'm getting at. Tronely, it was a swirly move to put some

waddy hoa in sort of like a twin romance foot, but not swirly enough to point out. No, so you didn't shout out that silly? No. No, I went- No. And you're welcome at movie theaters? No.

I have to shwake in. And you wear a disguise? Wish. And what is the disguise silly? I dress like a clown. See, that's silly. No. It's practical.

I guess. Cause yeah, I guess- Stop trying to point out- Stop trying to say I'm swirly. You are not swirly, boy. You can't point out flings that are swirly. But I guess you couldn't turn a clown away from a movie, right? No.

Like a clown comes up and goes one for, you know, practical magic. Where? Like is it illegal to say like, hey dude- I'll fucking- Come back when you're not wearing that shit. I'll fucking have to say I'm tri. Really? Yeah, I'll fuck him up.

I'll fucking say you fucking dogs. Are you a violent guy? No. No, I'm swirly. No, I'm swirly boy. Hey, you know what I'm saying? He's silly. We got him.

Yay. I knew we could get there. Could watch your witions. Yay. Good. Wow. Well guys, we're running out of time. Does that surprise you at all or it just seems about right?

No, I'm surprised it didn't happen. I wish it would go out. All right, we only have time for one final feature on the show. That is a little something called plugs. This is the plug bag theme. Last time you said it was too long. So how about this? Hey, good one.

That's How's This by Permo. Thanks to Permo for that plug bag theme. And oh, wait a minute. Auntie Donna, you guys all just came back. Oh, hey. We're back. Wow. The transformation from-

I bet it's really crazy to have just been shown to a slice of live. And then now I'm talking to a human. It's like blowing my mind right now. 5% adjustment by me. Guys, obviously, we want to plug the magical dead cat tour starting September 3rd in Australia, then coming to the States in October. Where, I mean, what else do you want to say about it?

Like, let's really get people going there. It's going to be great. We would just tour Australia. It's all new stuff, which is good to point out. There's a few little fan favorites in there. Just to get you know, just to wet your whistle. Sure, I mean, you don't want to see the Rolling Stones not play.

I'm trying to think of any Rolling Stones song that anyone would ever want to get into play for the devil. No, God, we don't want to hear that again. You don't want to hear them. That's kiss. Is it? That's kiss. Does it matter?

Do you know what I thought would be really cool? A scene in a movie where someone's like making it in the city. Yeah. Sympathy for the devil. Or like a character who's kind of bad. Like, yeah. And then to hear sympathy for the devil over it, it would be like, whoo, whoo.

Oh, this got extreme shots of a bridge and a cargo over it. I've got to get that down. I've got to get that down. We have a TV show coming out in Australia soon in April. Congratulations. Yeah, cheers. And we'll hopefully get it over here at some point soon. So watch that if you can.

What's it called? It's called Auntie Donna's Coffee Cafe. Coffee Cafe. The Ascent Cafe. Is it Auntie Donna's Coffee Cafe? That's right. They legally, Netflix didn't make this one, still contractually alive.

Still Netflix is telling you how to title your shows? Yeah. In perpetuity. Everything has to have. That's the thing. Auntie Donna in the name, man. Damn. That's crazy.

And where can people, because we have Australian listeners, where do people see that? What channel? We'll be on ABC in Australia. Wait, is that the same ABC as out here? The American Broadcasting Corporation. Yeah, absolutely. The American Broadcasting Corporation.

ABC in Australia. Interesting. No, it's more like the BBC. Oh, is it Australian Broadcasting Corporation? Yeah, yeah. OK. Check it out on the ABC. ABC I View.

I went to say ABC I View. This is too confusing. I'm not going to watch. That's this streaming service. OK. It's like the Peacock to the NBC. Oh, now you're speaking my language. Yeah, OK.

All right. OK. Well, that's wonderful. The Magical Dead Cat Tour. And hopefully you're doing a good chunk of dates, because I think people should come out and see you. Yeah. You're very, very funny boys.

And you're not silly, so hopefully. No. Silly boy will be there or not be there? No, he might be. No. Unless you want to do. God, no. Do you think silly boy, deep down,

is happy about the way he makes people around him feel? The answer is no. That's a good bit that I don't like him. Yeah, it's a bit. Yeah, it's a bit. Yeah, I'd love to. We'd just do it for fun sometimes. Of course.

I want to plug head over to Comedy Bang Bang World. We have so much great stuff over there. We have Scott Hasn't Seen. We have CBB Presents, a lot of great CBB Presents shows, so much good stuff over there. And the Comedy Bang Bang book. You can check that out. That's over at CBBWorld.com.

And if you just want the book, CBBWorld.com slash book. And if you want to give us one of these plug themes, then go to CBBWorld.com slash plugs. All right, let's close up the old plug bag. What else is out right now? A little something called closing the plug bag. What do you want to plug? What's going on?

What do you want to plug? What's going on? There's a whole show. Who is that? Does he get a plug bag? What do you want to plug? What's going on? All right, well, that closes it up definitely.

I think so. Isn't it there at the end of the song? Is it? Wow. Incredible. Incredible. That was, I don't know who that was. What else is out right now?

That was How about a Plug for Twistfuck by Twistfuck. By at Twistfuck. I guess he's on social media as Twistfuck. Thank you so much to Twistfuck or at Twistfuck, which whatever the case may be. And guys, I want to thank you so much. God, I had something. But much success to you, I guess,

is what I was going to say. Much success. Yeah. And much success to you too. Thank you. Well, I've had my share. Now I want to help you guys out. The same way that hopefully the rock will be helping me out.

If you're listening to the rock, you know. Come on. Maybe you'll meet silly boys. Maybe you could get the rock to do silly boys. Oh my God. Amazing. It's like the silly boy is like a James Bond. Mark, would that be a thrill?

Like, you don't know it's happening. Suddenly you turn on the show. The rock's doing silly boy. Do you feel like, hey, that's my bit? Or are you suddenly like? No. Like I said, silly boy to me is a James Bond type character. Right.

Silly boy will return. In the future, we'll be able to take on the mantle of silly boy. To plumb the depths of silly boy. Absolutely. Well, guys, I want to thank you so much. Three of my faves. Thank you so much for being here. And I'll be watching you at the LA date

as long as it's no more than a mile and a half from my house. How's that, Tom? But now you've given away the ride he is. Oh, no. You've talked to yourself. All right. We'll see you next time. Thanks.

Bye.
