Hello and welcome to another episode of Duga One. My name is Dave Wanigui and I'm here with Jess Perkins and Matt Stewart.
Hello to you too as well.
We are also in the room.
Can confirm.
As Dave said.
And?
The hot scoop.
Mike Dup.
Yep.
If we all got headsets on.
Is that what this is?
If we all got headsets on, it's a big room where it's wandering around.
You are giving away too much information.
Use the space.
Use the space.
All right, you're a donkey. No, I'm not a donkey and I asked you to stop calling me one.
All right, Europe.
Seagull.
Thank you.
And you, Matt, are a majestic lion king.
Yes, thank you.
Hey, that's the episode of Primates this week.
Oh, great. There you go.
I did not even mean that.
I retract anything I would inspire a plug for Primates.
Let's show. I really appreciate that would inspire a plug for primates.
I really appreciate that opportunity to plug primates, Dave,
with special guest, Claire Tonte.
Tonte!
And Dimitie Kirkwood from The Millennial Divide.
It was a real fun time.
We talked about the Lion King.
Classic film called the Lion King,
which I like to call the Lion King.
Right, and when I accidentally just said that just was a seagull,
I also should add this is an completely unintentional.
But the last week's episode of Bookcheat,
I talked about Anton Chekov's The Seagull.
That's really gonna seem like you said all that up, but.
I swear I didn't.
I'm just that good.
You got seagull on the brain.
I'm also all I'm thinking about.
I just had some chips.
Seagulls love chips. Seagull alone, I'm thinking about it. I just had some chips. Seagulls love chips.
Seagull boy.
What about Donkey?
Have you been watching Shrek?
Yeah, I love it.
Next question.
What's your favorite part of Shrek?
Probably the Donkey.
I like his balls.
Oh, you mean the movie?
I like the intro and outro and bits of the middle.
I've shrek the halls. Yeah, that's the name. I haven't seen it, but it does.
So that is a grave, great pun title. Yeah, they put the name before the horse on that
one. Yeah, definitely. Hey, while we're plugging things, I'm coming to Adelaide as well as
Perth next year as well as Brisbane and Melbourne,
but Adelaide and Perth are on sale now and you can go to matsjewordcomedy.com slash gigs
and click on links there for the appropriate show and I'm pretty sure there's an early bird
discount code pre-Christmas for do-go-on listeners. If you put in the code, I think is do-go-on.
What is it do-go-on pod?
I think it's do-go-on.
And...
If do-go-on doesn't work, try do-go-on pod.
You are good.
And then try free tickets.
Yeah.
Wait, no.
And try bum bum bum.
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum.
Yeah.
Try that.
And then if those options haven't felt and I
I have to stress you have to have tried all of them. Yeah, it was then tweeted Matt. Yeah,
if it doesn't work. Otherwise, I hope your producer is listening and can set up all of those
codes because that would be fantastic. That would be great. If you're listening, Am I please do that?
Bum bum bum especially. Bum bum. How much, what percent's bum get you off?
No, well, bam, bam, bam.
He's obviously 30%.
It was 10% per bum.
Right.
If I type in 10,
10, bombs.
Do I get a free ticket?
Yes.
I think I end up paying you,
which I please don't do that.
11, bombs, do 11, bombs in here.
Oh, great.
I cannot afford that.
Well, you should have thought of that
before you got this. I don't know. Emma, you should have thought of that before you come out and-
Emma, why did you set up that discount code?
That was foolish.
The Perth economy is tough.
It's expensive to get there.
Accommodation is not cheap, and I'm probably staying in a toilet.
I can't have a problem.
Oh, you should-
I didn't know you were right, it isn't your problem.
Anyway, please come to those shows.
What a fantastic Christmas present. Hey, here's another great Christmas present.
We're only a few weeks away from Christmas
and I fucking feel festive.
Krishmish.
Krishmish.
We've also, we've got a red bubble
and everyone associates,
Michael bubble with Christmas.
Well, why not associate red bubble?
Michael red bubble.
Michael red bubble.
And if you go to dogoonpod.com slash, I don't know what the slash is, but if you just
go to that and click on shop, it'll take you to our red bubble.
And you get different things like shirts.
I believe I'm only judging this based off two in the think tank out, sister podcasts
from Planet Broadcasting slash tutorials.
And they just had a listener
buy a clock with their funny faces on it. So if that's possible, I love that as a Christmas
day.
There's all sorts of things you can get.
That's right. We've uploaded a couple of designs and then you get to pick what you want
to print it on and then they'll ship it to you.
T-shirts and hoodies are the big one that we sell a few of, but we'd love to start selling
clocks as well.
You can get an iPad case, an iPhone case,
a mug, laptop skin, just a framed print.
It's just a framed print.
You can get a mug, a throw pillow, a travel mug,
postcards, notebooks, laptop sleeves, tote bag.
Are you looking at these?
Are you just listing, because it's amazing if you just...
I mean, I was staring at my computer and not making it.
I can't do anything. So obviously I'm just listing them. Yeah, I thought you just riff because it's amazing if you just I mean I was staring at my computer and not making like
Obviously, I'm just listing them. Yeah, I thought you just riffing throw pillow. I was like you're amazing I really wow your your opinion of me is so low that me saying throw pillow is amazing
I don't even know what that is right. It's a throw pillow. It's a cushion. I would I imagine if I said throw pillow
You would have also been impressed.
Oh.
Does that mean your opinion of me is also low?
Oh, so low.
So low.
Think of Jess Harvitt.
Then Harvitt again, double it.
I then third it.
Oh my God.
It is going to feel awesome.
Am I getting this so low because I didn't, I didn't, I didn't think you'd understand
that.
Yeah.
And I didn't.
So my opinion is so accurate.
Yeah, it is.
Anyway. Anyway, I mean, anyway, hit my opinion is so accurate. Yeah, it is. Anyway.
I mean,
anyway, hit up do go on pod.com.
Click shop, go to our shop.
Is this our first in studio podcast?
No, I was just thinking.
I believe it is.
This feels different.
And probably because it is.
Yeah.
We haven't done one in the studio since before,
well like since we did one with Mace or about Batman.
Yeah.
Hi everyone, back in the studio, we've just come back if you haven't been keeping with us on
social media from our UK tour, which was a lot of fun.
We end up doing nine shows over there.
So much fun.
Met a bit crazy.
Lots of do-go-on listeners from England, Scotland and abroad.
People came across from Europe, different places, that was cool.
Yeah.
There were Australians in some other shows.
Lesson I was expecting.
A guy from the Ukraine came in.
Oh, that was cool.
That made my life.
And also some oslonians.
Yes.
A perisian.
Yep.
Lots of it.
Switzerland, Sweden, Lebanon, Finland.
Lots from Ireland, Heism islands.
I'm definitely going to go there one day.
Next time around, we're definitely on island.
We've got a new dream of doing a show somewhere on Continental Europe.
But anyway, we're going to figure that out.
It's probably, I mean, in the meantime, we should probably do this show.
Yeah.
But I'm already dreaming ahead.
I was waiting for there to be more to that sentence.
Like on in continental Europe, in a silly costume, but it just stops. Well, I didn't want to give
too much away. Right. I can't. That's happening just at the airport. Yeah. Yeah. I can't believe
you. That way we don't have to sort out visas. Yeah, that's how that works, right? That's imps, so.
If everyone books on the same flight,
we could do it in international airways.
Over the intercom.
This is your captain speaking.
Oh, that would be awful.
Podcast rule!
Matt's least favorite part of being on a plane is the PA announcement.
Interrupting the screens.
I mean, I'm not on my own there, surely.
No, but it was out of character for you,
how angry you got at them.
Look, I...
Because you are very chilled out.
I'll flip the bird at the screen a few times.
So basically, you're watching the screen,
the PA comes on and automatically pours
as watching your screen saying,
cabin announcement.
Sometimes, it's important, it's a safety reasons.
Sometimes it's, would you like a safety reasons. Sometimes it's,
would you like to buy some perfume and you're like, no. I just have this sort of, if we
do it in international airways, and I don't 100% know if it's the skills transfer across,
but maybe Mace could fly the plane. I would assume those are transferable.
Yeah, trams and planes. Yeah. It's all public transport and what else? They've all got wheels, of some descriptions,
buttons and dials.
They've all got a wire hanging above them
with like a metal thing attaching to it for some reason.
And sand.
What is that?
They're all on tracks.
Yeah.
Oh, it's a weird piece of transport.
It is a weird piece of transport.
Thank you.
Aeroplanes.
How do they do it?
Is that the title of this episode?
Yeah.
So for those who don't know how the show works, if you're listening for the first time,
we sound like we don't know how the show works. Well, we don't really. But there's three of us here,
and we each take it in turns to a report on a thing. We may as well do it with the three of us here.
We'll have a go. And one of us knows what the report is and then research the topic,
and it's usually based on a listener suggestion.
The other two don't know what the topic is.
We get on the topic with a question this week,
Jess is doing the report,
and she's about to ask a question, I believe,
and I normally get them right, nearly half the time.
No, nearly a third of the time.
Okay, you get them.
You get them all in a third of the time.
Oh, that's true, yeah, I'm the winner.
But you're not in this company, are you?
I reckon I could still have a guess.
No.
And I wrote a question, I'm going through a bit of a phase
of writing the question ahead of time.
To be fair, I wrote it while we were sitting in here anyway,
but I did it.
Okay, so.
All right, I am primed after that,
I'm inspired to try and get this right.
Please embrace the new me.
Please.
The question is, which World War II bad-ass has been referred to as the real life Captain America?
Oh.
Captain A America.
Wow, that would be a great name. But no.
Is it someone I would have heard of? I hadn't, but that doesn't mean you haven't.
You have been around a very long time.
I'm trying to think of the actual Captain America's name.
It's like Steve Austin.
Steve Jobs.
Steve Rogers.
Steve Jobs.
Yeah.
That's a real life Captain America.
Yeah.
God bless him, everyone.
God bless our boys.
Up there in Apple.
Do you want it in Cupertino?
The big Apple. I get it. Cupertino.
Cupertino. I like that a lot. Apple headquarters in California.
Cupertino. Can I get you a Cupertino?
Was that Jim Carey? Yeah, I think it was. Thank you. My next impression.
Philips in my Hoffman. Okay. That's it. Hello.
Okay.
Okay.
That was that Philip Seymour Hoffman playing
our good friend, Alistair Tronblay-Betro.
Oh!
And, nailing it, yeah.
Here's John Rhee, I'll do a very quick.
This is a nation person,
but also my Alistair Tronblay-Betro.
From two in the think tank,
Alistair Tronblay-Betro.
I'll see his podcast we mentioned.
It's a two-word impersonation here is,
that's doable
That is something Al has said and we'll say again very positive can do kind of
Wants to help I just want my one little nitpick there was that didn't sound like Alex
It's kind of like Philip Samo Hoffman doing out right. Yeah. Which is kind of what it was. Perciently. Thank you.
I like it when Al tries to go full Australian. That's fun.
Because he has a hybrid accent anyway.
So when he just forces the Australian side, it's like,
we do sound ridiculous.
Anyway, enough of Al.
I don't think I know.
I don't think I'll get the guy.
Have you heard of Ordie Murphy?
No. No, but I want to. Well don't think I get the guy. Have you heard of Ordy Murphy? No.
No, but I want to.
Well, you're gonna.
Ordy.
I've heard of Orny Adams, the guy from comedian, the documentary with Jerry Sarmfeld.
Is that even the same?
Orny.
Orny.
This is Ordy.
So it's different.
How do you spell that?
AUDI.
Oh, but like Audi the car, but.
Ordy.
But different. There you go. Some people, but like Audi the car, but. Audi, but different.
There you go.
Some people do say Audi, though, will say.
All right.
European car manufacturer.
Do you want to call him Audi?
Yes, no.
All right.
Well, I'll wait before I call him Audi.
Yeah, I don't want to disrespect a badass,
especially if he's going to come beat my ass.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm excited.
That's a great name.
So, Audi was born on the 20th of June, 1924 or 25.
That will come back.
That's bad ass.
He was the 7th of 12 children.
What question?
Quick question.
Okay, I'll allow it.
Do I know what's calling it?
And who are you referring to?
Aude. Aude. Does he know what's causing it? And who are you referring to? Audi. Audi.
Did he, does he know what's causing it?
Yes, all the siblings.
I was trying to get to like their parent,
his parents' names there.
Oh, his parents' names.
Just like a fun little segway there, like,
do his parents anyway?
So his parents were Emmett Berry Murphy
and his wife, Josie Bell Killian.
Oh, I forgot fantastic fantastic. I know.
Emmett Bell.
Emmett Berry.
Emmett Berry.
Josie Bell.
Middle name Berry.
Berry.
Love that.
And Josie Bell, what was the other name?
Killian.
Killian, me softly.
Oh, with that beautiful words in my ears.
You think that's, maybe that's how their son Steve Jobs ended up coming up with the name
Blackberry for one of his first mobile phone devices. He's really, he's more to lot there.
That's so fantastic. Yeah. Do you think that's why? No, I don't think so. But thank you.
Yeah, and then he went out to find found Apple Records with the Beatles. Did he really?
This is going to be a banger of a rapport. Yeah, strappy. A lot to cover you. So he was born in Kingston in Texas. As a child, he was described as a
loaner with mood swings and an explosive temper. Keep that in mind. Oh, he's going to be an
explosive man in life. His father was pretty absent when already was growing up and eventually
just abandoning the family altogether. And Audi dropped out of school in fifth grade
and got a job picking cotton to help support his mum
and his siblings.
And he also got handy with a rifle
and would hunt small game to support the family as well.
I need to feed them.
I look like Catnus Everdee.
Or Annie Oakley.
Or, all right, that one.
It's like a new, he's always gonna jump on my camera.
Come on, man.
What about Katniss' Aberdeen?
Yeah.
Where Philips Seymour Hoffman played her uncle or something.
Oh, Kat Piss' Aberdeen.
No, Dave.
No, why are we always going to the gutter?
And can I just do a quick impression of Phil Seymour Hoffman's character in that film?
Goodbye.
Oh.
So, what film was that, Dave?
Uh, 100 games. Oh, you got lucky. Yeah, I've got
so lucky. You never seen any of you. I've seen trailers for thousands. It looks terrible.
I'll say I enjoyed it. I didn't think I would, but I did. I think I've not even seen
them all. But anyway, here's my impersonation of capnisaboning. Ready? Yeah, that was good. I like that you were mimeing that, which is useless
on a audio platform, but also you didn't mime it well at all in that you didn't move your arm
when you fired an arrow. That's how he does all these impressions though. Do a bulldozer.
Same, same movement. Yeah, that is odd.
Left arm outstretched, right arm bent at the elbow.
Yeah.
That's how he does everything.
Yeah.
I love that.
I love his style.
Thank you.
I was a bullseye in my heart.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
So he's, yeah, from a young age, he's supporting his family.
And sadly, his mother died when he was about 16 of pneumonia and
county authorities placed his three youngest siblings in Bowls Children
home which was a Christian orphanage in Quinlan in Texas and he got work at a
radio repair shop and at a combination general store garage and gas station in
Greenville which is about 25 minutes away from where his younger siblings were.
I don't know where the other older ones went, they must have just kind of scattered.
But yeah, so they all kind of got separated.
The same year that his mother died, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor occurred,
and Audi wanted to enlist in the army, having always wanted to be a soldier.
But he was turned away by the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, for firstly being underage,
but secondly, he was also underweight,
who's got small and stature and he was very skinny.
Yes, thank goodness I've got an excuse to not go to war.
Oh, few.
And you can pretend you want to.
Yeah, I want to be here, I'm so bad.
What a way, 58 kilos, I'm so sorry.
Oh, no, that's okay, we got a new division
and opening right up.
We come right through here, You're on the front line.
You don't think in modern warfare,
they need like nerds at computers.
You're fucked, mate.
You're first in.
Right, you'll actually, you'll be piloting the drones,
but actually inside the drone.
You'll be in a drone.
Just in case we need someone to be inside
the drone reporting back.
Yep.
Still in the air.
Yep. That's you Dave. All right, I can see the enemy.. Yep, still in the air. Yep.
That's you Dave.
All right, I can see the enemy.
All right, we're going in.
And we're detonating now.
Oh, I'm exploding.
Boom.
Sorry mate, sorry you had to find out this way,
but you were not avoiding it.
I'm gonna run away.
Where to?
The other side.
I'd never expect that. What did expect that?
Them. Yeah. Wait, the other side of the the wall. The wall of the wall of the wall.
Okay, so you're just gonna leave the room. Yep. Right. I thought this through. So you're in the army headquarters.
I'm just gonna the other side of the wall. Right. Most people would actually run away. Me, I just hide in plain sight.
You hide in a cupboard. Yeah, yeah. Wait for HQ to close down for the night.
For six years. Wow. Okay. Is the wall going for that long? Or do you not know that it's over?
So you stay there at a precaution. People come and tell me the walls over. I'm like, no,
there's a trip. You're lying to me. You're lying. So people know you're in the cupboard. Yeah, a couple of people.
A people who work at H.E. Yeah, the general thinks it's really funny that there's a guy in the cupboard. Right.
Okay. Any way.
So I think at this point you can probably leave the cupboard.
If the general knows you can't like the cupboard. Okay, yep.
Never been a fight like the color. Okay, yep. All right.
Never never been a fight with the cupboard.
All right, this mat, this weirdly makes sense
considering the long-running joke we have,
well, joke, theory that Dave's girlfriend is a broom.
This makes sense.
Oh, yeah, it's a broom cupboard.
Did you say joke?
Yeah, I said joke and then I was like,
what's not a joke?
It's a broom cover. Did you say joke? Yeah, I said joke and then I was like, it was not joke. It's a conspiracy theory of ours,
because we've never met or seen conspiracy theory.
It goes all the way to the top.
It's a broom, I was thinking malt,
but yeah, maybe a broom.
And you have both met or multiple occasions now.
Multiple.
Two is multiple.
When was the second time?
You've met or twice.
You can pay for a Hector one time.
I've only met or once.
I've met or once.
Twice. When was the second time? I'm sorry that she doesn't give a Hector one time, I've only met her once. I've met her once. Twice.
When was the second time?
I'm sorry that she doesn't give a shit about our show.
I'll come to the level.
That's not on us.
Because we both met her once on the same night, doesn't equal us meeting at twice.
You can, that's true.
I'm pretty sure you've met her another time.
Yeah, but you can't think of when.
Conveniently.
Oh God, I'll have to get out.
You have an insert of that memory into our brains yet.
I'll have to get out of the diary.
Yeah, no.
It's been once and we're very confident that was an actress
because she was way too beautiful.
Yeah, but a fantastic performance.
Oh, very compelling.
Yeah, very compelling.
She did keep her distance from Dave.
I actually thought she might be a seamal Hoffman.
That's how good she was.
And did she say, hello?
She did say, yeah.
She did, but I awry.
Did she say goodbye? She did, but I left. And in the middle, she said she did but I arrived did she say good bye. Yes, and in the middle she said
Yeah, which was weird but I was like is there a bulldozer in here?
Hangarian for a dessert is served. Oh she's Hungarian. Oh little bit of backstory.
You've said a lot. Oh, it's unraveling. It got in. It's ultra. Anyway, the actor had an Australian accent.
Hungarians very close to Australia. Oh my god. He is he is going bright red.
He is unraveling. Dave, I'm going to save you here.
Because that, so you were saying he was very, very underweight, which is classic intro section
of Captain America film. Correct. and probably comic books issue.
Very good, Maddie. Thank you. You did it. Yeah, I've got a comic book at home.
So yeah, he's turned away from the army, the Navy and the Marine Corps. Nobody wants him.
The following year, his sister provided an affidavit that falsified his birth date by a year.
So he was 17, but they said, oh no, he's 18. And he was a year later.
Yeah, so he was 16 when he was trying.
I'm right.
He was 17 and a year later he got assisted
to write a false affidavit saying he's 18.
But backdated.
Yeah, back date that affidavit.
I like, okay, so you're 19.
He's like, whatever.
Just like, whatever.
Just shut up.
Can I come?
It was also an affidavit saying,
I weigh more than I actually weigh.
Just don't weigh me.
Yeah, don't weigh me, because I've got it written.
I'm weird about it.
Yeah, I don't want to talk about it.
I don't like, but...
There's a number on the paper.
Trust me.
I know I look skinny, but I carry it well.
I weigh more than the average range over us.
Just give me the serum.
Fuck.
I really, that was I like American Captain.
Yeah, I like American Captain too.
He's real good.
Oh, fuck.
Stanley Tucci, that's why I like him.
Stanley Tucci.
I love Stanley Tucci.
He played Captain America.
No, he plays.
No, he plays.
No, he plays.
No, he plays.
No, he plays.
No, he plays.
No, he plays.
No, he plays.
No, he plays.
No, he plays.
No, he plays.
No, he plays. No, he plays. No, he plays. No, he plays. No, he plays. Is the German doctor who injects Steve Rogers with the serum?
I mean, what can the tooch not do?
The tooch.
Honestly, I watched AZA the other day.
Oh, he's so great.
He does everything.
He has fun dad.
Fun dad.
German doctor.
Wacky man with cool hair.
He does it all.
I mean, no, no, no thing he's done it.
Fashion assistant.
Fashion assistant, yes.
Anyway, I reckon the people of Chewneon
especially, who better not be bad.
Day best friend of Cher in Burlesque.
Why did he take that role?
I'm glad he did, I watched Burlesque
at least quarterly with my friend, Lini.
But why did he take it?
Did she have lots of different best friends and she's categorized them all based on their
sexuality? Yes. Or did you? Okay.
Well, you cut me off at the past there.
Oh, have you seen the film, Billis? No.
Well, then don't you jump on my bananas?
The line from the film? You'd have to watch it to find out you can come over my house watch it
It's the best that sounds fantastic anyway
fuck
I've got through a page
So he he manages to finally get into the US army. He's accepted. This is in June of 1942
So he's 17 but they've said he's 18 and you know the song from the sound of music that was based on the sky
He is
17 call we're called 18 to be to be to
You love musicals
That's too you love them well. I love the little orphan Annie the list goes on stop calling her that
She finds an offensive when you say love the little orphan Annie the list goes on stop calling her that She finds it offensive when you say oh, hi little orphan Annie. How are you? Just call her Annie. Yeah, well
Oh, no, but we do know a few Annie's yeah, it gets confusing does I don't know a few orphan Annie's
I just my big hey mid sir is talking Annie. What's up?
I feel sorry for big Orf and Annie.
I don't, she's bloody rad dog.
She's a dog.
No, no.
Sadly orphaned, but now living a happy life.
Yeah.
Oh boy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So he's made it into the army in 1942. While he was participating in a close-order
drill during that hot Texas summer, he passed out. So he's struggling a bit with some of
his basic training.
This badass is inspiring for me. Then, like an underweight guy that passes out a lot,
can go on to be considered
about us.
When's the last time you passed out?
I passed out one string of blood tests.
Yeah, we've all done that.
You need to up your frequency of passing out, man.
All right, tell us about it.
Tell us about it.
I've done it.
His jugular.
What's the...
A softagus?
Yeah, tell me, do you mean a softagy aloevedote?
No. Has a softagy aloevedote? He sw, give me a softy gel update. No. How's the softy gel?
He swallows well.
He's fine.
A softy gel speaking, he's in the top percentile.
Philips him a lot of softy gel speaking.
He's about to get a serum injected in him and that's going to change everything.
I'm waiting for that serum.
How frustrating for the warheads out there, listening to this, when we have,
have you said anything about this guy yet?
Barely.
Well, I can't wait to hear it more.
So his company commander thought
his build was too slight for service in the infantry
and tried to have him transformed into a transfer.
He was going to be objective.
Try to have him transferred to a cook and bake's school, but he, Murphy, so already insisted on becoming a combat soldier.
So they were trying to make him a chef of some description?
No, I think a swing musician in the band, the cook and bakers.
Get him on drums.
Bip, bip, bip.
I'm in stroke for horns.
Yeah.
He would have been on the horn.
Yeah, yeah.
So... So... What are you talking about? I'm in stroke for horns. Yeah. He would have been on the horn. Yeah, he would have been on the horn. So he started in the triangle.
What are you talking about?
This we're talking about the world, what's too bad ass.
Yeah, but we're talking about like a man with my build.
No, he's about our height.
I think a little bit shorter.
This man is a sex offanist of anything.
He's what?
A sex offanist.
Oh, yes, okay.
So it was. Oh, well, yes yes, you're saying a suffocates again
So he completely is basic training and he was shipped to Casablanca
The film
Beautiful so you got an acting
He went to Casablanca on the 20th of February but 1943 I frankly my dear. I don't give a fuck. Yeah
That's beautiful. It's gonna look dear, I don't give a fuck. Yeah, that's beautiful.
Just gonna, I'm just gonna get some of the break.
Yeah, cool.
That's gone with the win, mate.
Fuck.
I have seen classic, hey, could you do a new podcast
about classic movies so I don't have to watch them?
Yeah.
Yeah, good one.
And so he went to Casablanca.
He later went to Sicily where he was a division runner for the third infantry.
And although he'd struggled to get into the military and provide and prove himself,
already began to prove himself to be a more than capable soldier and an excellent marksman
and rose through the ranks rather quickly. Supreme commander general Dwight D. Eisenhower made the decision to invade Italy in early September
1943. Audience of his fellow soldiers and friends were traveling along the Volterno River,
which is in South Central Italy. The trio were near a bridge when one of them was killed by German
machine gunfire. Audience friend, a soldier named Tipton, tossed hand grenades in the direction of the fire,
and already responded with the Thompson's sub-machine gun
killing five German soldiers.
Five.
You know those machine guns
that just have like the huge round barrel
on the front of them?
It's one of those, which for some reason just seems so badass.
But, you know, he killed five people. Like one of those old-school Tommy guns?
Yeah. Like the gangsters use man. They are, they're probably the coolest looking machine gun.
Yeah. Well, this is a Thompson machine gun. So I'm gonna say it's probably the same thing.
When, and if you use them, one of them you got to have a cigar coming out your mouth and you've
got to be saying, it led sucker. sucker. Yeah, laughing maniac.
Yeah.
Yeah.
By July, he was a corporal and by December, he was promoted to Sargent.
And by this time, the Third Infantry Division had suffered heavy casualties.
They had 683 dead, 170 missing, 2,412 wounded.
At the end of 1943, the division began training the enables for the planned 1944 storming
of Anzio Beachhead, Anzio, the beginning of the liberation of Rome, and already made
a section later on the 4th of January and was promoted to Staff Sergeant on the 13th of January.
So, flying up the ring. Within a couple of weeks, he's had two promotions.
That's an amazing time.
I guess in part, it's because people are dying of LaRanger,
but still, that is a wild rising through the ranks.
Yeah.
A week after his promotion to Staff Sergeant on the 21st of January,
he was hospitalized in Naples with malaria.
He returned to his unit in time to take part in the unsuccessful first battle of
Sisterna, which was fought between the 30th of January and 1st of February.
It was the most fierce and sustained fighting he had experienced to date.
And their Lieutenant Colonel Michael Pollack, who was the commander of the
1st Battalion of the 15th Infantry, temporarily took charge when the company commander was left badly wounded.
And he later stated that the three-day battle that followed decimated the company, leaving
fewer than 30 soldiers alive.
Ordy Murphy still alive.
Out of how many was it?
A lot.
I don't know exactly how many battles.
A lot down to 30.
Yeah. A lot more than 30 lot down to 30. Yeah.
A lot more than 30 down to 30.
Right.
46.
Whoa.
The men were forced back to UNZO and remained there for months,
taking shelter in an abandoned farmhouse.
And on the second of March, their artillery fire
disabled a German tank.
And although the tank crew were killed as they tried to escape,
already knew that the tank could be repaired by the Germans and put back into use.
So living as man in the farmhouse, he advanced towards the tank by crawling on his stomach,
and he then used rifle grenades to permanently put the tank out of commission.
For this action, he received the bronze star with a
V device.
Can you say something like, you've been decommissioned and then started firing those grenades,
aren't it?
Yeah.
And then walked to answer motion as it exploded behind him.
That genuinely happens later.
Oh.
He continued to make scanning patrols to take German prisoners before being hospitalized
for a week.
You're still doing a scouting stuff.
So do you scouting?
Yeah, I'll start.
The man does it all.
Yeah.
Time little ropes for no reason.
Yeah, just little ones.
But then he got malaria again.
Oh, man.
So he was in hospital again for another week. The third division was taken off the front line
in late March and placed in reserve and they were put through additional combat training,
but the training was so intense that already felt these men needed relief and he refused to put
them through more training. But this action caused him a promotion that he was supposed to be going
to receive because he defied orders to stand up for his men.
Didn't hurt his career overall, to be honest, but he didn't get a promotion as quickly
as he should have because he was like nah.
It's about four days, instead of three.
Yeah, he's like, we don't want to.
And I'm just sort of picking a few key stories here.
Obviously, with any of these World War II guys,
it's like a million different things, but I'm just picking out a few here.
When does he get in a stand-up comedy?
Soon.
Cool.
Another story that comes up about him a lot is when he and his best mate,
Laddy Tipton, who I mentioned before.
Oh, you didn't mention his name was Laddy. You just said Tipton.
Laddy.
Laddy Tipton, another cracking name.
Yeah. They were together during a battle, and two Germans exited a house about 100 yards or 90 meters
away from them and they waved a white flag. So Tipton made himself visible, beckoned for the German
soldiers to come towards him and he was immediately killed by machine gun fire coming from within the
house. L he was.
Yeah.
That is a dog act.
That is.
You did not make fun of the white flag system.
No, what's the point of it?
That ruins it for every now and then.
What's the point of the white flag system?
That's a dog.
I thought that he was going to dog them, but they dogged him.
Oh, he was going to be like, okay, come on over and he was going to, which would have,
I would have looked very unfavorably upon him, but now I now look unfavorably upon the others. Yeah the Germans. They dogged him.
So he gets he gets killed by the machine gun fire. It was a bit of a trap. An
order later wrote I remember the experience as I do a nightmare a demon seems to
invented my body. My brain is coldly alert and logical. I do not think of the danger to myself.
My whole being is concentrated on killing.
So he goes batching.
Right. Would I be right in saying that those guys who shot him were Nazis?
Well, I guess.
Because, you know, that does not reflect favorably on them.
Yeah. Sorry, 20 Nazis out there. but this doesn't look good for you.
That, yeah, I'm actually, I'm getting a pretty hard and fast rule about them, they're bad.
Oh.
And I don't like black and white like that.
Yeah, I know, but I think I have to agree to be honest.
I haven't seen many examples of them doing any good, you know, but hey,
I'd love to be proven wrong. Yeah. I would love to. Yep. So audio events alone on the
house seemingly impervious to the German fire that was being directed straight at him.
He wounded two Germans, killed six, took the others as prisoners.
His actions that day took approximately an hour
during which he killed eight German soldiers,
wounded three and took 11 as prisoners.
And for this, he received the distinguished service cross.
He's just a one man, one man army.
Yeah, I like to imagine him just like,
is it when they meld's on the Simpsons
and he's just like Robbie's face going,
woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo,
that's how I like to imagine Audimurfie.
Just like going batshit.
I was thinking of him like grandpa,
and grandpa Simpson in the army
where it's just like a badass from the hellfish.
Like hellfish.
Like hellfish.
Yeah.
Just sitting on hand grenades and just doing whatever it takes yeah
well sure is that the same some sort of mix of the dressing up as a bail
extensor yeah what ever it takes that is not I.O.
booby they were brave to take on Hitler, were they? Yeah.
Who are?
So yeah, he got the Distinguished Service Cross, and this is a second highest military
award that can be given to a member of the United States Army.
I mean, you kill that many people, capture that many people on your own, and you get the
second highest.
It's what is number one doing?
Well, the Distinguished Service Cross is for extremely extreme gallantry and risk of life
in actual combat with an armed enemy force.
And this award is only given when all of the criteria isn't met for the honour medal.
So it's just one step below, but it's still a huge, it's not given out all that often.
So is this like one box wasn't ticked or something like that?
Something like that, yeah. I wonder what the box was.
I don't know, there's no dams in the understress or something.
It's probably swearing or something.
Yeah.
He didn't look at that cool when he did it.
I see.
Yeah.
But speaking of looking cool when he did something.
Hell yeah.
This is the citation from when he did receive a Medal of Honor.
And I want to read it because it explains exactly what happened.
So it says, second lieutenant Murphy commanded Company B,
which was attacked by six tanks and waves of infantry.
Second lieutenant Murphy ordered his men
to withdraw to prepared positions in a woods
while he remained forward at his command post
and continued to give fire directions
to the artillery by telephone.
Behind him to his right, one of our tanks, one of our tank destroyers received a direct hit and began to burn. It's crew withdrew to the woods. Secondly, Tennett Murphy continued to direct
artillery fire, which killed a large number of the advancing enemy infantry. With the enemy tanks
abreast of his position, secondly, Tenn Murphy, climbed on the burning tank destroyer.
So the tanks on fire, he climbs up on it, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment,
and employed its 50 caliber machine gun against the enemy.
He was alone and exposed to German fire from three sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens
of Germans and caused the infantry attack to waver.
The enemy tanks losing infantry support began to fall back.
For an hour, the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminate Second Lieutenant Murphy,
but he continued to hold his position and wiped out a squad which was trying to creep
up unnoticed on his right flank.
Germans reached as close as ten yards, only to be mowed down by his fire.
He received a leg wound, but ignored it and continued the single-handed fight
until his ammunition was exhausted. He then made his way to his company,
refused medical attention and organized the company in a counter-attack,
which forced the Germans to withdraw. Apparently, he called basically at fire on his exact location,
and so they blew up the tank as he walked away from it and didn't look back.
What a bad ass.
Yep. So for that, he got on a medal.
So that's the top one.
Metal one, yes, that's right.
So now he's got the first and the second highest medals.
He's got all of them.
I'll go into that.
When he was asked later why he'd seized the machine gun
and taken on an entire company of German infantry,
he replied simply, they were killing my friends.
Okay, well,
I'll fill this one.
What would you do?
You wouldn't, you know,
I think the history of this was like,
when he was later asked,
who are these people asking these questions?
Who was asking, what this his grandson or something?
Why'd you do it?
Why'd you do that grandpa?
What?
Wait, give it to my friends.
Kill the enemy.
Yeah.
What did I do?
My job.
He was in a war.
He was later on.
What I got above and beyond.
Yeah, I get the question when it being something like, why'd you like, you're almost reckless
with your own life? Were you were? Re your own life, what? Yeah, and it's like, I don't
know, just pretty insane. But he, like, to him, the question was probably like, yeah,
of course I did. But the question has been asked because most people would be like, that
is I would run, I would turn and run. It's a Dave wouldn't run. He'd fly in his little drone.
Yeah.
Be me up, Scotty!
He calls his drone Scotty.
It's really weird.
He thinks it's alive.
Scotty, I need some sustenance.
You got any chocolate milk up there.
It's for the last time.
My name's Greg.
I'm a pilot.
I'm a pilot.
Shut up.
I'm trying to concentrate.
Chocolate, Chocolate milk.
Scotty, where's the chocolate milk in here? Don't be tired, I'll scurry.
Give me that chocolate milk.
I'll just keep sipping to you and stir it into my mouth. Sssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, s context, that's a terrible sentence.
Not done yet. All right.
Now you done.
Well, for now.
For now.
Or he also suffered from post-traumatic stress,
which I think makes sense, which back then was either called
Shell Shock or Battle Fatigue.
I didn't shell shock before, but Battle Fatigue is fun.
He was plagued with insomnia and bats of depression and he slept with a loaded pistol
under his pillow even after the war.
He had headaches, vomiting and nightmares, but in an effort to draw attention to the problems
of returning Korean war and Vietnam war veterans much later, he spoke out candidly about
his own problems with post-traumatic stress, and he called on the government to give increased consideration and study to the emotional impact
of combat experiences and to extend health care benefits to war veterans. So he used his
bad experience to try and help other people. Holy shit.
And like I said before, with all stories of war, particularly World of War II bad asses,
there's a lot more to his story, but I just picked a few key war elements because I also want to talk about what he did after.
So at the end of the war, he was considered one of the most decorated soldiers in history,
being a ward of 33 medals and honors.
I'd be hard to match with that.
Yeah, it'd be heavy.
Yeah, sometimes occasionally you'll see veterans with just, there's no room left on their shirt,
there's so many medals, he would be that.
He'd need a second shirt or they'd be on the back or something.
And they're all like, they're made of metal, right?
So they'll be heavy.
Some of them are pretty significant, but he's also decorated for bravery by the governments
of France and Belgium, and he was credited with killing over 240 German soldiers and wound
against capturing many more.
She's always kind of a weird thing with war, isn't it, to be like,
wow, he killed all those people, but it's like they're still people.
Yeah.
I agree the Nazi party, bad.
We all agree on that, but people are people.
But it's so strange.
Yes. Yes. Well, yeah, it's not, I mean, the soldiers, right? They're doing the job, that's
what they got to do. Yeah. It's the, yeah, the fuck heads who are making wars happen.
Yeah. People like, and I don't want to go ahead and I'll, but I'm, maybe I will, at
old Hitler. Yeah. Yeah. Start at a big war. There. We said it I'll in but I'm maybe I will at all of Hitler. Yeah, yeah, started a big war.
There we said it.
He's, I'm gonna say a real piece of shit.
Yep, I think you might be.
Maybe I'd say worse than that.
I don't want to, I don't want to.
Two pieces of shit.
No, a bigger piece of shit.
Whoa, one really big piece of shit.
Just I just think he's one of the worst.
Almost, almost iconically bad.

Wow, can I just say that is not I are booby
So yes, he's a very decorated soldier and keep in mind the majority of his awards were given
to him before he was even 20 years old.
Anyway, what have you done with your life?
So I don't have time for you to list what you've done in the last 17th century.
No, I just need you to know.
Don't hang around waiting for me to achieve any of that.
God no.
Oh no, no, no no no.
So in July of 1945,
Audi was on, he was in Life magazine,
which caught the eye of actor and producer James Cagney.
And he brought him to Hollywood.
James and his brother William signed him as a contract
player for their production company and gave him training in acting, voice and dance.
They never actually, they never cast him in a movie.
And a personal disagreement ended their association in 1947, but he called the bloody bug.
Right. So, he singing, acting and dancing. Yep. He befriended a Hollywood writer called
David Speck McCleuer and they collaborated when Audi wrote his autobiography called
To Helen Back, which was released in 1949. McCleuer used his connections to get Murphy a $500 dollar or equivalent to about $5,000
bit part in Texas, Brooklyn and heaven.
And he'd been dating Hollywood actress Wanda Hendrix for a couple of years and her agent
got him a bit part in the 1948 Alan Ladd film Beyond Glory.
But his first leading role and kind of his big break was a film in 1949 called Bad Boy.
It will smash.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is before he changed his name to Martin Lawrence.
Right.
But, yeah, whoops, boiler.
So he's big mama's house as well.
Yeah.
He's done so much.
The film's called Bad Boy and the film's financial backers refuse to bankroll the project unless Audimethi was given the lead role.
Wow. Isn't that crazy?
Hey, I will only fund this film if you put someone who's never properly acted in the lead role.
And that's why L.I. didn't want to give it to an inexperienced actor.
But that was the other round.
You said the other round was like, alright, well you sure you can have this film as long as you attach a very famous name to it?
Yeah, this one's like, no, but I mean, he is very famous, just not for acting.
Right. He's been all over newspapers and he's, yeah, a lot, he's a household name.
Right, well, I met, you know, that would definitely get attention, especially if he's good in it.
Yeah.
Probably all really bad.
Oh, bad boy. Oh, that's a bad boy. You're really
living in that acting. Open to the critics, isn't it? Yeah. That was one bad boy in this film.
The film. And I'm not talking about the character.
Universal Studios signed Audi to a seven-year studio contract at $2,500 a week, which is
equivalent to about $25,000 a week for seven years. Yep
That's every million dollars a year. Whoa. Yeah
Yep
Yeah, so now would you go to war was he could in bad boy? I never said
They've said he would be in a drone. Yes. I wouldn't go to war because
Look, I'm not I'm not to go to war for an acting contract.
For the chance to make 25 grand a week.
So why are you here acting contract?
Obviously, the...
Fuck, so bad boy was very successful then.
Yeah, bad boy did well, but some of his other work did even better.
So, Audi married actress, Wanda Hendrix in 1949.
They'd been dating for a couple of years.
However, their marriage didn't last
and their divorce became final two years later in 1951.
And four days after his divorce was finalized,
he married former airline stewardess,
Pamela Opel Lee Archer, good name, four
names, love it. Has not been a bad name in this episode. I agree. Well, they went on to have
two sons, Terry Michael, not amazing, and James Shannon, also a bit plain. But when your
name's Audi, yeah, and he hated that his name was Audi. Oh, okay. So he gave his sons boring
names. Sorry, Terry and James, but.
Terry and James, no I feel that. I got the boring names as well.
Yeah, actually I got the boring names.
Oh.
You've got three of the most dollared names.
Yeah.
In 1955, Ordy's autobiography to Hell and Back was to be made.
I would have called it Ordy Biography.
Oh, that was good. Is it? That is. That's good stuff. autobiography to Helen Beck was at was to be made. I would have called it Audi biography.
Oh, that was good.
Is it?
That is.
That's good stuff.
So good.
Yeah.
So it was said to be made into a film.
It was going to be directed by Jesse Hibbs.
And what he was initially reluctant to play himself,
but he eventually agreed.
So he played himself in a movie based on a book about himself.
The Heedwritten.
The Heedwritten.
And he was like, I'm finally hard to relate to this character.
I just don't know if I can play me.
So how old is he now?
He's pushing 40 and he's got a five-subtle of the 20.
No, not a 55.
He's 30.
30.
30.
So he and the answer,
and he's going and playing a guy pretend to be 18. I guess so.
Oh, no, it's me. I'm not. You're there's no way you're 18. Oh, I am. I promise. There's no 18. You're obviously 30 years old. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no a tape. I did read, I didn't write it down. But I did read a couple of places that he,
in the like the edit of the film,
already cut out a few kind of key things
because he felt people wouldn't believe that it was real.
Like it was, it was,
it's that situation of like the truth is stranger than fiction.
There were some things that people would be like,
bullshit, it didn't do that. And he was like, no, I did. But I'll cut it out because people
won't believe how much of a badass I am. Hell yeah. So to Hellenback became the biggest hit in the
history of Universal Studios at the time. What? And I'm pretty sure I read somewhere, it
remained their biggest film until George in 1975. Wow. So for 20 years, it was their best.
And that was the highest-grossing film ever
to that point, jaws.
Yeah, so it was a mega star.
Yeah, it was huge.
Like, yeah, very few people get at the top of any game
and he's done it twice.
Yeah.
Soldier and actor.
He's not done.
Oh, what's he gonna be? What's he gonna be?
Do you want to have a guess? Oh, okay. Um, politician, Eric. Uh, no, Matt. Uh, yeah, that's a good guess.
Well, he also tried to dance and song. Is it a singer? Yes, well done. He's gonna be a singer. Like a crew. No, he was a fan of country music
But he wasn't a singer or musician himself, but through I that doesn't matter in that genre. No, but oh
But through friends he was introduced to a songwriter called Scott Turner and they collaborated on numerous songs between
the beatboxer
Yes And they collaborated on numerous songs between 19th and- That's right, you've seen the beatboxer? Yes.
Oh.
That's cool.
That's not because he's that.
He's broke Dave.
He punched the wall.
The guy from Australian Idol season one is that you made?
Probably, I don't know.
What's his name?
That was Jolt.
Yeah, that's definitely who Matt men.
What a reference to Garple. Like, self-schule and it was the wrong name.
I mean, I'd do that.
You should clap on it's quiet light and so Dave's very tired.
I feel like we're endlessly clarifying. It's quiet light.
Just assume it's light. Unless we say,
oh, it's early in the morning. And by early we mean to him. Yeah, just just assume always,
we should have said this a hundred episodes ago. Assume always that it's late at night.
And at least one of us is fucked. Okay? Dad. Yeah, if John, John, if you are listening, but...
He is who cares about us.
Hey, John, thanks so much for tuning in.
And when Jess said who's gonna be before, in that funny way,
that's a reference to my favorite podcast called Sizzle Town.
You should check it out.
What's it got to... anyway.
What's it got to buy?
We say it a lot off-micro.
I accidentally brought it on mic there. It's okay. And I thought I needed to give it context, I're gonna boy. We say it a lot off-micot. I accidentally brought it on mic there.
It's okay.
And I thought I needed to give it context, I probably didn't.
But that is a great hot tip for a podcast.
Tony Martin, we all love him.
Strong comedy legend.
Don't speak for me, Dave.
Oh, he's so bad man, he.
We all, and he pointed at me.
Oh, yeah, that's the dynamic, isn't it?
We all.
And then, yeah.
Against the world.
But you're telling me you don't love telling mom.
No, I do.
I just don't like you speaking on my behalf.
I like to be consulted.
Thank you.
Anyway, so they collaborated on numerous songs between 1962 and 1970, the most successful
of which was Shudders and Bords.
And when the wind blows in Chicago.
He hired a professional lyricist for this.
Yeah, well apparently he used to write a bit of poetry and stuff as well, a couple of
which are in his book, but...
Shutter and more.
Well, in his defense he was normally a beatboxer, not a lyricist.
Yeah, he just writes down ways like boom and shh.
Yeah.
And wiki wiki wiki.
And I break it down.
God, don't guys don't give away too much of our musical experience. Okay. We'll intimidate people with our skill. He's singing career. It didn't, it wasn't anything, but he did it as well.
We didn't get heaps of success or anything from that. But throughout an acting career spanning from 1948 to 1969.
Why aren't you saying that right?
1948.
1948.
I was like, am I doing that figure again?
Where I'm like, 1800, 1900, 1900s.
1948 to 1969.
All right.
Nice.
He made more than 40 feature films and one television series.
40 feature films. That's two a year. That's crazy.
I love it when he does quick maths. Love it.
Plus a TV series. Because sometimes I'm like, that's a bit and then Dave
jumps in. I'm like, that is a bit, and I owe it.
So, he's a feature film of the year. He's laughing.
That's a lot of work.
Apart from being a decorated soldier, a filmster,
a country musician, a husband and a father,
he also bred quarter horses at the Ordy Murphy Ranch,
naming a ranch after yourself.
Come on, make think of a name.
I reckon someone would have done that,
probably one of the horses.
Named at Ordy Murphy.
Ordy Murphy. And he went, all right, I feel a bit silly. No, I'm called Rodi Murphy
I'm gonna miss red no
Okay, there's a whole new character called horsey talkie talk
I'm horsey talkie talk and I want a name
This here ranch or any more feet is that his name?
This here ranch, Ornimoor feet, is that his name? Ornimoor feet.
I've been saying it this time, time.
I'm afraid I've already written it down.
It's gonna cost $100 and admin if you want to change it.
Oh, leave it out, Zadilis.
Ornimoor feet.
We know what you mean.
Could you pass over a, another bit of peanut butter?
It's the only way I know how to talk. That was beautiful. Thank you for
sharing that with us. Thank you. So he's raising horses and he also loved to have a punt.
So he's he would gamble on his on his horses. Oh, no, this is downfall. He's gambling left
his finances in a poor state.
He's making a million bucks a year and he's lost it. In 1968, he stated that he lost $260,000
in an Algerian oil deal and was dealing with the IRS over unpaid taxes. Who, who, who hasn't
done that? We've all lost $260,000, okay? Well, luckily for me, it wasn't quite that much,
but those are just loyal deals.
I dropped mine in a drain.
Your two hundred and six, they're meant to be.
Yeah, God, I felt like a real goose.
I find it fascinating when super rich people gamble.
I feel like gambling's for people who are like,
I need some money.
Yeah, I even take a chance.
When you've already got it, it's like, what's the win?
More money? You've already got it, it's like, what's the win? More money?
You've already got it.
You got so much.
I mean, I do get why it's a bit of fun.
I, I don't know what I'm,
anyway, I sort of, I get why you might do it
in little bits and pieces,
but if you've already got heaps of money,
I don't get why people gamble heaps of money.
Again, Matt, that is beautiful and thank you.
Why I'm just looking for answers.
Can you explain to me what are you doing?
I'm not mega rich.
You are less than you.
You already said the right answer.
More money.
More money.
That's the answer.
More money, more problems.
I remember that.
No money, no problems.
More money, more problems.
I'm so sorry, he's already written it down.
No money, I'm afraid it's going to be 100.
Well, I'll be free's gonna be a hundred hundred
Just to tell you come on jump on board. I'm taking it for a ride to Christmas past does
Horsey talkie talkie talkie talkie talkie talkie talkie talkie work at the casino
No, but I do gallop in time. Is horsey talking talk okay?
No.
Okay.
Could you call my vet, Vettie?
Vettie, Vettie, Vett.
Vettie, Vett, Vett.
Vettie, Vettie, Vett, Vett.
Okay, I'm gonna have a quick break.
Yeah, okay, off you go.
So in top, top, top.
Oh.
That horse has been put out to pasture.
In spite of his financial difficulties, he refused to appear in commercials for alcohol
and cigarettes.
He wasn't a smoker or a drinker, and he was mindful of the influence he would have on
the youth market.
He was like, I'm not selling out, man.
I mean, morally great decision financially, not so good.
No, great.
On the 28th of May, 1971,
already was a passenger on a private plane flying
from Atlanta, Georgia to Martin'sville, Virginia.
A couple of hours into the flight,
the aircraft crashed into Brush Mountain,
20 miles west of Roanoke in conditions of rain
cloud fog and zero visibility, terrible conditions. The pilot and all the
passengers were killed and Audi was only 45 years old. So he died as well. He
died. What? I thought for sure he was going to somehow fool through. No, so he
was killed in the in this plane crash.
The pilot had a private pilot license
and 8,000 hours of flying time.
But he basically didn't have the correct qualifications
or license to be flying that type of aircraft.
You know, so something else from on there.
But it was a commercial flight.
No, it was a private jet, a private plane.
You did not prepare me emotionally for him to die then. That felt like we're still mid-story.
I did say the pilot and all of the passengers were killed.
Yeah, but before that, at that point, I realized what would happen.
That's not what we both realized. I'm not sure how you would like me to have led up to
it. Sadly, tragically his final journey. Okay, well, thank you for your notes. He's
locked. He's locked. He's locked. Finally run out when, you know, after all his gambling
luck, his fight is like continued to be poor, but this time fatal. He took the biggest
gamble of his life when he got on board, a plane with an unlicensed pilot. No, I don't
like any of this.
I'm mentioning a flight here and just probably a shroom.
I haven't mentioned any before now.
Maybe this is something bad's about to happen.
Okay, thank you again for your notes.
So you could have just looked at the answer.
I'm sorry.
I mean, you could have started that paragraph
without a big grin on your face.
You were smiling the whole way through.
I'm reading your body language going.
Something cool's about to happen. He's going to parachute out. I'm reading your body language going. Something cool is the best. That's right, he's gonna parachute out.
I thought he was has survived.
It did look like she was building
into something like that.
No, I just wanted to get through it
because it was hard and it's a comedy podcast
and I'd like to move on.
Well, I think we've moved on pretty well here.
Yeah, I think we haven't.
We haven't dwelled on there.
Forty-fon live.
I cannot believe all of that happened.
Yeah.
He made 40 films, and he had 30 something war medals.
Yeah.
What a crazy stuff.
I cannot believe that.
I assumed you're about to tell me he was 80 or something.
No.
He married twice, he had those kids.
Yeah.
I, yeah.
Incredible.
He had like these Hollywood wives. Well, it wives. No, I realized the like these Hollywood love wives
Well, it wives no, I realized the second one was was not a Hollywood It just feels like you just went through these different phases like now. I'm gonna be a country singer
Now I'm gonna be a Hollywood actor now. I'm gonna be in the art like this in reverse obviously
Now I'm gonna be a gambler sadly now. I'm gonna be a toddler now. I'm gonna be a baby
Now I'm gonna be a toddler. Now I'm gonna be a baby. Now I'm gonna be in my mom's tummy.
I'm bummed. He was buried with full military honours at Arlington National Cemetery in June of 1971.
And in attendance, we're ambassador to the UN George H.W. Bush, who only just passed away himself.
Bush who only just passed away himself. Army Chief of Staff William West, West Molland, West Molland, and many of the third Infra-Inventory Division. So
the, he's fellow soldiers. A special flagstone walkway was later constructed to
accommodate the large number of people who visited to pay their respects. It's a
cemetery's second most visited gravesite after that of JFK. So people
still go visit. Where's Arlington? Virginia. Arlington, Virginia. And yeah, so was he connected
to, he was on his way to Virginia because he was a Texan, right? Originally, yes. Yeah, right.
Arlington. Hmm. I mean, it's a bit of a real trip. Right. That's it. Yeah, right. Arlington. Hmm. I mean, I mean, real address. Right. That's it. Yeah, that would make sense.
The headstones of metal of honor recipients buried at Arlington National
Cemetery are normally decorated in gold leaf,
but already had previously requested that his stone remain plain and inconsepicuous,
like that of an ordinary soldier. So his, his is just normal.
Unfortunately, because everything else is gold, it actually makes his stand-out
more than anything else in that cemetery. You look for the one that isn't gold, I mean,
are you looking at his? Yeah, they're like, oh, there's already. Trying to stand out.
We'll have to try and visit. That would be cool. And just finally as well, there were lots of other
different honours both in terms of military and also civilian that would bestow on him during his lifetime
and also posthumously including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He's got one. He's
got it all. Oh man. Yeah, so that is my. He's got to start on the fact. Well, I'm afraid
I've just got to correct myself here. Just before people get on Twitter, there's also
an Arlington in Texas,
so you may have been buried there,
but there is a big one in Virginia as well.
All right.
Is there a Bruce Springson song called Arlington County?
Doesn't matter.
That doesn't not matter.
Anyway, that's my report on a Woody Murphy.
Well, I had not heard of him,
but it wasn't an amazing badass.
Yeah. When you said the start, like,
I haven't heard of him.
I was like, well, how many of those badasses have we ever?
Head off.
Look, he looks like a Hollywood.
Oh, he's a babe.
I was gonna ask, because you really attracted me.
Yeah, he's quite good looking.
He kind of looks a bit like the guy who plays
Bucky in Captain America, weirdly.
That is very strange.
Oh, he's in Arlington, Virginia. That is very strange. Oh, he's, JFK is in Arlington, Virginia.
So it is Virginia.
So I need not say, but I just thought I better look that up
just to stop people getting involved.
Yeah, just before your tweet.
So yeah, pretty amazing life.
Oh yeah, you're right, by 45, who've done so much.
45.
It's crazy.
And that it was the biggest crossing film
for a university in the two until George.
Yeah. One of years until George. Yeah
One of the big studios. Yeah crazy, isn't it? Oh, I've got a photo here just because I want to look him up
Pull in the dukes. Yeah, he did
That's a great shot Western films
While we could doing corrections Bruce Springsteen has a song dialington can is right close
Very close.
Any connection?
Any relation to Arlington, Virginia?
I'm gonna say no.
I'm gonna say no.
Well, I'm fascinated by that guy.
Yeah.
You know when you don't know someone exists and then you hear about them and then they die and you feel like,
oh, I'm pretty sure if he hadn't died in that playing crash,
he'd probably, it would either be very, very old
or have already passed of natural causes anyway.
Yes, surely.
I think he probably lived a pretty extraordinary life
for three is 45.
He packed a lot into 45 years.
And I feel so inspired that that Weedy Little Guy
could grow up to be.
He just here looked like a Weedy Little Guy, a war hero. Look like a weedy little guy.
A babe, an actor, a country singer, and terrible gambler.
All of my big passions in life.
Yeah, that's the dream.
That's a dream combo.
But by my age, you'd won several awards, both for military and film.
Oh, way before your age.
Yeah, so long ago.
So there's a section on, I understand, his Wikipedia
page, where it says awards and then they just have a list of them. And it just feels like
you're scrolling for minutes before you get to the bottom. These real three awards. Yep.
Well, fantastic. Do we say who suggested that? Oh, thank you. Yeah. It was just a by a few people.
Maybe big and a big people. Jerry Meyer, Russell and Clay all suggested that one.
So thank you.
Thanks guys.
That was a very cool topic.
And the Patreon's voted on.
Yeah, that's right.
I put up basically for biographies
that I could have done this week.
And it was a pretty tight race for most of it
and then already kind of took off at the end.
So it was a clear winner. Classic already. Yeah, so very cool. Thank you for voting.
So good. Thanks so much. Papa. Plege. That was amazing. And what a story.
Yeah, I'm going to have to check out some of those movies. Jesus, I hope he's done a movie
with a primate in it. If he's done 40 movies, one of them's got to...
It might.
That's got to be in your contract, right?
Yeah, I reckon, especially in those days.
Yeah.
I'll look into that, let you know.
Yep, for coming on on another primate.
Absolutely not.
Damn it.
I don't know what I can do.
If even Audi won't get you on.
Even though you've done more episodes than anyone else.
Oh, have I?
I want to maintain that with you.
I think you've probably been on a quarter of the episode.
Yeah, that's the way it should be.
No.
Well, that brings us to a fantastic, a bit...
Do you like how I'm saying fantastic?
Fantastic.
Is that Liam Neeson?
I don't know where we're going.
You've been doing it for a while.
I've been doing it for a while.
Fantastic. And I love him. And I love him. know where we're going. I've been doing it for a while. I've been doing it for a while. Fantastic. And I love it.
It's fun to say. Oh, that is fantastic.
It's fun to hear. Oh, great. Let us good to hear. That is fantastic to hear.

I've never had a try at saying it out loud. Hopefully that is right Brian Kolella
Kolella is a possible old take just if you could edit in the right one.
Brian Colella or Brian Colella.
Colella.
Brian Colella, he's given himself the title,
World's Greatest Two and the Think Tank listener.
Oh.
Because he's a great big fan of us.
He's just a podcast.
Well, it's generous because that podcast has come up
a few times in this episode.
Yeah.
And can I just give you a message from Halster?
Yeah.
Hello.
So what's the fact quota question?
Brian's fact quota question is a fact.
And this is the fact there is a society for people born
in space started by a NASA astronaut named Harrison Schmitt, who was born in Santa
Rita, New Mexico.
After an expanding open pit mine consumed the town and turned it into space.
Can you believe it?
What do you mean into space?
So this is from the albacurky journal and it's talking about the astronaut Schmitt.
Said one of the most fascinating things about Schmidt
is a distinction he shares with baseball,
hall of fame, slug, a Ralph Kiner,
and a couple of hundred other people.
He was born in space.
Actually, he and the others were born in a real town,
Santa Rita, New Mexico, that no longer exists.
The one-time frontier town became a company town with two churches in a hospital, then
it was chewed up bit by bit by the ever-expanding open pit copper mine, which is all that remains
today.
People who were born at the Santa Rita Hospital have called themselves the society for
people born in space, and meet now and then for a union, a reunion, beside the yawning
pit.
So town, so it's been sucked up by the earth,
so they say that it doesn't exist there anymore.
That's kind of cool.
So it's no longer on earth where they were born.
Right, so if the hospital where I was born was bulldozed,
I'm now born in space.
If it was sucked up by the earth, yes.
Or by a bulldozer, yes.
Right, sucked into a bulldozer.
If a bulldozer sucks in in all the hours.
Okay. But otherwise, not on your fat bippy boppy. I'll try and join the society then yeah great
I'll try well that means I'll bulldozer
I'll try and bulldozer. Yeah, well no not bulldozer. Bulldozer needs to suck it
No, I'm gonna bulldozer and then obviously there'll be a little rubble and dust and I'll vacuum
Yeah, we've got the odd dyson and
Airblade God, I'd love a sponsorship from dyson my vacuum cleaner is on the
Fritz oh, I've got a dyson. I can tell you I cannot afford a dyson. I will yeah look affluent east over here Can afford a dyson. I can't afford a dyson. I live like less than a kilometer away from Dave
But then the wrong side of the tracks. Yeah, I'm the wrong side. Can I come over and borrow the dice?
It's great.
I only complain.
The charge isn't long enough.
Yeah.
To vacuum the entire mansion in one go.
Yeah, I mean, I've got my all-soul dice, and obviously...
I assume your cleaner is probably furious about that.
Yeah.
I can vacuum my entire house in five minutes.
Really?
Yeah, it's really small.
You're that good.
Yes, that's it. I'm that good.
Hey, let's thank some people. Thanks so much for that fact, Brian. Yeah, thank you, Brian.
Brian, I'll see you in space. Okay, my house. I had an idea too. So what we always do at the
end is we thank some people who support us on Patreon. If you want to jump on there, do go on pod
No patreon.com slash do go on pod
And you can support the show get all these rewards Davis talking about and one of those is a we will give you a shout out And I was thinking this time we could call them the real life and then insert fictional character. Oh
Okay, that's good. That's good. That's that? That is one of the best for a while.
Thank you so much.
Can I kick off?
Please.
I would like to thank from a place we just were London.

From Lincolnshire, also in Great Britain, Alex Garrow.
I like that too.
Garrow the real life phantom.
Ooh, there's behind a waterfall.
The gosses that walk.
My favorite superhero.
Yeah, we know.
Also, like the worst superhero.
No, no, he's not.
Yeah, but also Billy Zane.
Oh, Billy Zane is so cool.
So hot.
But the fan, it's sort of like not a great superhero, right?
Yeah, I mean, I think people that love superheroes
but bag it out a bit, but then I think it's really.
You're part of it, like I know a lot of Melbourne
comedians love him.
Really? You should form a secret society.
Really? I was got bullied by Ronnie Chang about liking him.
Oh well it's...
All right you've met Ronnie Chang.
Yeah I got bullied by SlammyJay.
Sammy J is a big fan of the whole show about this.
Okay, you know Sammy J.
Well I know that he did a show about the Phantom.
I actually did see it. I was fantastic.
I'm sick of you guys.
Just bloody name dropping left right and center over here. One of the only Donna did see it. I was fantastic. I'm sick of you guys. Just bloody name dropping left-right and center over here.
One of the only Donna guys loves it.
Oh, does he?
Yeah, I forget which one.
Not Brody.
He said does he not knowing which one?
I don't care. I don't care.
I think it was Zach.
I'm happy to know that someone likes the answer.
Look at being Brody and he's smart.
People always laugh when you say you love the fandom.
People laugh in your face. Really? No, I'm telling you. There's a lot of fans always laugh and you, when you say you love the fan, the people laugh in your face.
Really? No, I'm telling you,
there's a lot of fans.
I bet we've got listen as you love the fan,
and so you know one of the officers here
is painted purple.
It's because of the fan,
I've picked it,
um, fan and purple.
That's a true story, anyway.
Probably you will not hear a more boring anecdote
than that in your life.
But Matt will try to top that.
I'll try on top of it.
For us Phantom fans, Phantom maniacs.
Yeah, well, let's go get a photo for this week's episode in front of the purple.
Phantom's.
No, Phantom maniacs.
Fuck me.
We're Phantom main.

Well, that does bring us to the end of another classic episode of Dooga One.
Thank you so much for joining us.

all the odd episodes and of course links to our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube,
which are all the platforms slash do go on pod. And over the next little while we're going to be

do go on pod on facebook and if you go to and you do follow us and the shows come out next year 2019
it's going to be the year of the do-go-on podcast live shows.
That was a big call to make Dave.
We did a lot of live shows this year, but I'm hoping, in my heart,
of hearts that next year we'll do even more and go even more places.
Especially places we haven't been before.
I'm actually hoping the opposite.
We do. We go to places we haven't.
I was really hoping to slow down, but make more money.
So if you two could maybe take smaller cuts, give me more of it, but we definitely do a
lot less work.
I really got to let you know that you're in the wrong industry if money is what you're
after.
What's that? Have you thought of horse gamblers?
Oh!
Have you thought about starting a chain of stores called Jackie Miller?
I'm gonna be honest.
I probably really get into acting.
Why don't you just do Hollywood movies?
They get paid really well.
That guy was getting paid a million a year.
Yeah, I might do that.
He did.
He had no experience.
All right, I'm gonna go do that. See ya no experience. All right, I'm going to go do that. See you.
It's back to just you and me Dave. Well, easy come easy, go.
It's people flying for three years and fly out again. I guess we'll be back next week
with another episode then Matt. Yeah, what do you reckon? Do we get it someone else in or just
this is to try it for us for a bit. Yeah, that'd be nice. Yeah. Well, until next week, guys,

But until then, I will say goodbye.
Later.
Bye.
She came back just to say goodbye.
I'm not gonna leave them hanging.
I thought it was Philipsing my Hoffman for a second.
Goodbye.
