Melbourne and Canada, we got exciting news for you. And we should also say this is 2026. Jess, what year is it? 2026. Thank God you're here. Right now, I'm in Melbourne doing my show with Serengy Amarna 630 each night at the Cooper's Inn Hotel, having so much fun. We'd love to see you there. Canada, we are visiting you in September this year.

If you've somehow missed the news, we are heading up Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto for shows. That's going to be so much fun. Tickets for all this stuff, I believe, are online. And I'm here too. Welcome to another episode of Do Go On. My name is Dave Warnocky, and as always, I'm here with Matt Stewart and Jess Perkins. Hello, Dave. Hey, Dave, isn't it so nice to be alive?

It's so nice to be it. He's trying to get that to me as catchphrase. It's not working. And we are joined this week by our favourite detective duo. It's Alexei Toliopolis and Cameron James. Thank you so much for having us. My favourite detective duo is Dick Tracey and that girl with a big head on the small face. Oh, small face big head.

My favorite Dick Tracy character. And let the record show is I. Alexi Tollianpola speaking now. Cameron, introduce your voice. Hey, guys. There we go. What's that? The listener now has complete knowledge of how the audio dynamic of this podcast goes.

It was exciting to say because I had a real split second to decide on what my new personality was going to be. That's what you went with. I chose California Cartman. Hey, guys. What's that? We will insist you do that the next two hours. I can't. I give up.

This is how I really talk. That's suss. What's up. Whoa, this guy's sexy. What the heck? Oh my God. My lords are a dingle. This makes sense, Oscar.

We're in the sunny city of Sydney. It's beautiful to be up here. Dave and I have been here for a week and it's been raining. But the day the Jess comes up, the sun breaks out. You guys brought the weather with you? Whoa, whoa, you're doing my gear. I did you do that on stage I thought it was cool

I thought I'd say it Oh this is going to be a loose episode Where are we though now We are in what would you call this Surrey Hills I would call this Surrey Hills Redfern We are on beautiful Cleveland Street One of the most exciting dining precincts

In Sydney We are in the Lebanese quarter Of Cleveland Street right now Is that the Wendy Malick Betty Wyrne Yeah, Betty. It is like golden girls that's set in the 2010s era. I remember it fondly.

Yeah, and you didn't even give Betty White top billing there. Yeah, we love Wendy Malick. That's how much I love Wendy Malick. I'm a big Wendy Malick fan. Oh, she's hysterical. Just shoot me. Don't mind if I do. What?

I know no other credits on her. It's just to shoot me in Hollywood. She's in other stuff, doesn't it? Probably sex in the city, one app. It's my guess. Probably a guess. Yeah, probably a guess. Yeah, welcome to Sydney, guys.

We appreciate you guys, you know, making the trek, making your way here just to sit with us. Could you walk in your third or fourth time on, I reckon, Cam? This is the first time we've been in your neck of the woods. It is. It is. And that says a lot. Sydney comedians love to travel to Melbourne. Melbourne comics never show their faces in this city.

We're afraid of it. Yeah. It's a big city. city. It is a big city. And if you don't watch that, they'll cheer you up and spit you out. It is rough over here. Yeah, very violent city.

Yeah, it is an urban jungle, if you will. And many a creature lurks to become king of the jungle. And they don't, I mean, the Sydney crowds just don't put up with our meandering Melbourne comedy stylings. That is true. That's true. They demand bits and high LPMs last per minute. We want punchlines, we want edgy topics and premises.

If you go, hey, here's a story about walking down to a nearby creek. Everyone's like, shut. Stop doing my gear! Again, I apologize because I am just doing word for word. You know, stand up. It did not go well in your Sydney. We don't love this creek shit. You can't even know all this Greek stuff?

Come on, no way. Less Creek, more Greek. That's all we can happen in Sydney. We say that a lot in Sydney. It's my catchphrase, okay? I'm trying to bring it around. Less Greek, more Greek. It very rarely applies.

Finally, it worked, and it was seamless to say it out loud. I felt this intense pressure in my chest going, I've got to say it. I got to say it. Now's my time. I will die. Dave, before we go off the rails any further away, for any new listeners, and I know that the Mark Check Republic are probably listening, maybe tuning in for the first time.

Yeah. The total reboot, bootiful boys might be here as well. Early boy listeners Early boy listeners A few people might be here to find Drego And others The day for all those listeners If they are tuning in for the first time

How does this show work? Well what we do here guys Is we usually take it in turns To report on a topic Sometimes suggested by one of the listeners We go away Do a little bit of research Bring it back to the group

And the other people listen intently Quietly, they don't interrupt Exactly They just sit and learn Certainly no dog shit riffs here That's one of our rules. They might be tap the sign. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. We won't do any dog shit riffs. No dog shit riffs. How about cat shit riffs. Now we're talking. Always welcome. Now it's actually your turn.

Yes. Boys, are you reporting together? Yes. Well, you know, Alexi's going to drive. Last time I did the driving and Alexi was in the front seat next to me. Yes. Holding the snacks. Of course, navigating, DJing the entire.

higher session. Yeah. That was when you're telling us the story of the Guinness Book of World Records. Yes. Yes. Which was a fantastic episode. And a great book. Yeah.

One of the greatest books. Yeah. The last time. Very few books come out every year. No, that's right. Just that and 1001 movies you must see before you die. They're the big two.

I feel like you can't go on a Wikipedia page, which is like a movie website. Wikipedia.org for people who don't know it. You can't look up any movie without it saying, this is one of the 1001 movies you must. see you before you die. Every movie's in there. They must cycle them out. They cycle them.

They're trying to get every movie in there at a set of point. That's why I'm going psycho. I'm trying to watch every freaking movie ever made. And I'm trying to die soon too. I'm running out of time. No, I'm psycho. That's actually one of the classic films. Psycho.

Hitchcock, 1960. Who I think of as an oruteur. He is anuteur. He is anuteur. He is anuteur. Of course, he is anuteur. He has a signature style that one could pick from just a single frame of one of his pictures.

Every film he has, every frame, there's a bird in the corner. There's a bird. A man holding a knife in a shower. And big in the other corner. He cameos in his own films. And a hot blonde chick. Of course, he's fetish for the female form. Probably someone that he's emotionally abused.

Yep. Anyway. We usually start with a question. Do you have a question? I do have a question indeed. The question is as follows. What film? Yes, it's based on a film.

What film had a pair of sunglasses, uniquely designed to suit each of its primary characters. Oh. That sounds like something from the 90s. The Matrix or something like that? Wow. Yes, indeed. The movie is The Matrix.

We will be walking through the production of The Matrix. I was to say the Matrix. Oh, what's that funny. Jess was like, oh, and then you're still cut it off. A man started talking, so I... I'll feel this one. Ooh, little licky. Jess, all your troubles.

I'm going to offer you a pair of sunglasses originally designed for Trinity in the Matrix Reloaders. What a funny film. Like, there couldn't be a less sunny film. To have specific sunglasses made for it. We have neo-glasses for you as well. And Neo-glasses for you, Dave. Oh, thank you.

You will have to give them back at the end of it. Yes, they will. We spend a lot of money on those. We will do a photo shoot. I'm going to don't have the Matrix glasses that the Twins wore in the Matrix Reloers. But don't you need your actual reading glasses on? I put those over the top so I can read as well. Because you could give them me and.

then I could wear. Yeah, you can't have them. I can't read about mine. Where do you access these sunnies? Well, Alexi and I have just finished shooting a web series with Auntie Donna called Finding Yeezers. And when we got given our production budget, which wasn't a lot of money. Yeah, not that much money.

Only $7 million. Wow. An indie flick. Yeah, compared to the Matrix. That's nothing. It's nothing. It's charged me. I don't remember, it was not a lot of money, but when we got given the money, as soon as it came into our bank account, the first thing we bought were all the sunglasses from the nature.

Because it was cheaper to buy them as a bundle rather than individually. And I would say one thing that's interesting, because they were uniquely designed for the characters of these movies, they designed with one person's face in mind. And it would say, everyone in this room looks really stupid. That's terrible one. They do not see anyone except Keanu Reeves. I love the idea. If the futuristic sonnies, they're like in the future, there'll be no frames. It's just glass and arms.

Yeah. Well, except for Morpheus, no arms. Which, by the way, we do have the Morpheus ones, but I couldn't find them. And they were probably the most expensive ones. Do they not all look exactly the same? They're all quite similar. They look like, yeah, they're the little sort of glasses that you wear at a tan. Salon or something.

But all the original matrix glasses were handmade by eyewear designer Richard Walker of eyewear company Blind Optics. He wanted the glasses to be very futuristic and different from anything anyone had ever seen before. In turn he designed what of a kind. You're going to take your mind back to the late 90s? Yeah, I do. These are everywhere now.

They look like the singer from the birds. You know, he wore these. these sort of glasses, didn't he? Mm, yeah, actually, they're not that unique.

Now that I think about it, we did waste $200. Yeah, we could have just got to be you there. That was half your budget. Yeah. But the reason we,

the reason we bought them is because the Matrix does play a significant part in Finding Yeezers, and we bought them technically as props for that web series. Can you just quickly,

before we get into the report, can you quick, I'm assuming finding eases as a Kanye thing? Yes, Here's the long and short of it. There is a video game on the internet called Kanye Quest 3030. That video game is, well, you play as Kanye West and you battle rappers and try to become

the number one rapper in the world. The rumor, the urban legend, the conspiracy theory around that game is that it was created by a cult called ascensionism and they were trying to recruit young minds into their cult. That is what the third season, that's what. we're finding easers is about. It's us diving into that. It is our third mystery,

but our first as a YouTube series produced by Auntie Donna. And because it's all about this new religion that's like transhumanist that brought up many images of the Matrix to us. It's a digital technological world.

And we kind of use that as like the stylistic inspiration for our series. Some leather jackets. We bought a lot of leather jackets. We wore a lot of leather jackets. A lot of leather jackets. lot of leather jackets.

We all wore big boots. We all got leather boots as well. And, yeah, we look fly as hell. So that's why we want to talk about the Matrix. I think I know nothing about the making this film at all. Have you seen the movie? I've seen the film. I can't see who you're looking at with those sides of.

Dave's are also cruel. I think nobody looks good, but Dave looks the worst. Camps look like they are upside down for sure Yours are crooked, mate. It's made your whole face look odd. You look like a member of the Rembrandt. Does that mean anything to anyone? As in, um,

so no one told your life was gonna be this way. People constantly mistake me for Keanu, so I don't see why that would be. Yeah, the cat from the movie, Keanu. You look like a cat. I've seen the first one, and I don't think I've seen the second two. Yeah, I think the same.

Well, there is even a fourth one. Oh, really? That was in cinemas at the end of last year at the start of this year. Yes. There are many fable journeys in the Matrix franchise. Yeah, and the other fact, I can't remember who it was, but someone famous knocked back the main role because they thought it sounded stupid. Oh, there's many people that knocked it back to many different combinations of actors that could have been in those roles. Sean Connery was approached to play Morpheus and he said, no.

No. No, shake. Thank you. I only do born James Dodge. Didn't he end up. Daniel Jones's father. Irish Fajar, I can't do this movie. I think he knocked back the Matrix and then it was a big hit.

So the next thing that he was offered, he didn't understand he took it. And it was the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Because he also said, funny. He said no to Gandalf as well, right? He said no. No, Gandalf. I shall pass on his role. You do sound like gold member, actually.

I shall pass. I'm Bond, James Bond You're shit funny Will Smith is probably the one you're thinking of That's the most iconic Opportunity in history That was passed up for us And it took Wild Wild West

He did Wild West and stared Of course back then we didn't know how good Will Smith was at slapping So He'd be good at the Kung Fu stuff Oh god This is, I don't know the time I'm fucking line right now. This is a bit of heaven.

I can picture listening to this and people go like, I feel like they're having fun, but I don't know if I quite understand what's going on. And if you don't quite understand, what you need to remember is that we're wearing Matrix glasses. Yes. The glass, press pause, get the goggles. Yeah, that is the energy that we're...

And drinking beers. Yeah, there's also part of it. If you do need the full image, let me remind you I'm not wearing the glass. because I do need to read. I need my own glasses. Yeah. And I'm going to take mine off

because I can't see it. I'm going to keep mine on. Me too. Okay, I like it. Thank you. I just took a selfie to see what I look like. And I thought I looked fly as heck. Yeah.

You look fly as fuck, brother? Fly as heck. Fly as heck. You look like someone who would say that, yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much. I mean that as a compliment. Well, shall I begin my tail?

You generally look like the singer from the Rembrandt's. Well, accomplishes. As I remember it, I'm going to have to look him up. I mean, yeah. The band that everyone in the world loves. I reckon just start talking, Alexia. Allow me to begin. Whoa.

The Matrix, one of the most noodle cooking philosophy philosophically trippy films and important documentaries of the millennium mind-fuck era of cinema. A film that weaves threads of eclectic influences of Kung Fu and Wusha cinema, John Ngu and the heroic bloodshed of 90s Hong Kong actions

cinema, anime, manga, and of course, philosophy that examines the very nature of reality through questions like, holy smokes, do I live in a freaking fake belief simulation of Sydney, Australia? A question I myself have pondered many, many times. And now let the record show that before you, I'm holding out my palms, much like a moment in the movie The Matrix, and each palm, you will have to pretend that in those palms sits a potential podcast episode. This is your last chance.

After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue podcast. The episode ends. Cameron and I plug our new documentary series, Finding Yeas, and you believe whatever you want to believe. Or you take the Red Podcast. You stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. And in this version, we will also plug our new video documentary series,

Finding Yeasers, available on the Grouse House YouTube channel from the 26th of September and new episodes coming out every Monday after that. Filmed it stupid old studios. I'm right and saying that? Yes, it was. The brand new, the first thing filmed there. The first production to christened the stupid old studios, much like the Matrix movies were the first production to christen Fox studio in Australia.

God, he's good. It was filmed here in Sydney, Australia. Oh my God, you didn't know that? I don't think, oh no, I did because every small character was a home and away. A lot of it was he. Yeah. He has Aiden Nicodemu made her big screen debut in The Matrix. Playing the White Rabbit.

What? Wow. Wow. Oh, yes. All right. He got me. I'm going to vote for blue pill right here. That's the one.

The episode. Oh, fuck. Well, you just comes out soon. Thanks, I think, guys. I got coffee. We can over all. I'm going for red.

You've got a casting vote. I'm so sorry. I don't mean to offend. I got confused. to leave. Did he say, I hate this? I'm all right this to be over. You're all scaring, Mickey.

I'd like to go home now. Yeah, I'm doing my extremely exciting character voice, guy who knows heaps about the Matrix. I think we're going to say red. All right, okay. Red and I'm with you all the way, Bob. Yeah. Wow.

Well, if you all seen the Matrix, would you like me to provide a plot synopsis, pluck from IMDB.com? That'd be fantastic. Give us a plot. I would have preferred it if it was from memory from you, Alexi. Well,

I can sing. back into it if you do it from memory. Yeah, the Matrix. It's cool, it's awesome, and get ready for the right of your life. But this one, this is a logline from IMDB, a plot synopsis from user Anthony Perea, hypersonic 91 at yahoo.com, is their username? Shout out. Shout out to you. Hypersonic91 at yahoo.com. During the year 1999, a man named Thomas Anderson, also known. as Neo, lives an ordinary life, a software techie by day and a computer hacker by night. He sits alone at home by his monitor, waiting for a sign, a signal from what or whom he

doesn't know. Until one night, a mysterious woman named Trinity seeks him out and introduces him to that faceless character he has been waiting for. Morpheus. A messiah of sorts. Morpheus presents Neo with the truth about his world by shedding light. on the dark secrets that have troubled him for so long. That's where the synopsis ends, but the dark secret is the world is fucking made up by computers. Wow. The most shocking thing I found there was that Neo's real name is Thomas.

Yeah, Thomas Anderson. I don't recall that at all. Don't you remember Mr. Anderson? I remember Mr. Anderson. Do you wish he was Thomas Anderson? Tom Anderson. And that's also, I guess, why Hugo Weaving's in it. Yeah.

He was just a local. They parked him off the street. He was a busker. He was a busker on the street. He was painting himself silver. He was a silver man on the street. He was very good. With a little harmonica in his mouth.

He was echoing the movements he made. He was doing the agent character on the street. Ah, Mr. Anderson. If you like what you see, you put money in my hat. The Matrix, of course, begins in the minds of Lana and Lily Wachowski, born and raised in Chicago. They began. Ah, the windy city.

Oh, what do you call it? Chytown. Tri-Town. Chytown. Chytown. And the count of all the tea they have in there. Chai-T-Town. You've heard of the Windy City.

He heard it called it second city. Never had to call it. Chytown. Some people derisively call it Chirac. Oh. Yeah, I don't like that. No. I like Chaitown, though.

Yeah, Chitown's nice. Yeah, it sounds cool. I like Chicago. The original home of the Playboy Mansion. Really? Oh, yeah. Oh my gosh. Oprah Winfrey or have you heard of her? She's from her in the neighbourhood.

And Roger Ebert, the first film critic to make it to the big time. And Kanye West from Yeezers. No shit. Exactly. Chicago is home to many fascinating characters. That's a big city. Even, it's a big city. It's a windy city.

It's a big city yet two of the people we mentioned Roger Ebert and Oprah once fucked. What? Is that true? Is that true? They went on a date. What? Yeah, they went on a day. Yeah, they dated.

It's a big Cedar, small world. Do you reckon they did it? I reckon they're not. No way, no. He was horny. He was a horny fellow. His dick was the color purple, I heard. Wonder how many he gave it out of four.

How many stars? Yeah, two thumbs up. I won't say where. I just can't, I can't picture that. Well, you're not allowed to. You don't have to picture it. You don't know what I have to. What do you mean?

I'm not allowed to. Stop it. It's a good thing. Take a lot of hell. Take the low pill. Take the monpil. We're in this dystopian reality now. Lexi's brought us there.

Don't Google it. I want to Google pictures of them together. Fanfic. Fan illustrations. I think there's even clips where they talk about they David's. Yeah, so we fucked. Whoa, so Godder is there? Well, shall I continue?

I'm one sentence in. Lexi. Yeah. Please do go on. Wow. Wow. To be hit. with the title of the podcast and honor.

In 1993, the Wachowski's got their start in creative work as writers for a bunch of comics created by Horror Mastermind Clive Barker for Marvel Comics, most notably Ecto Kids. Yet to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, by the way. But by the Midnani's, they moved into screenwriting with the Sylvester Stallone versus Antonio Bandaris action movie Assassins. Oh, was that? So that was a spec script that they wrote and they sold it in the studio were like, This is the coolest shit I've ever seen in my life.

Let's put Sly in it. Let's put that hot little bandera in it. That little twink from Sal. Hey, a little puss and boots. Yeah, let's get that puss and booth in there. And then Richard Donner, the director was like, this script's fucking whack. Let's get some hack to ride all over it again and crush it out.

They got a re-lure. They got butcher. They got butcher. They tried to get their name stricken from the record. And the movie currently six that 16% on Rotten Tomatoes. It was not their fault. And you might also like sections. So if they suggest if you like assassins,

then it suggests all these other movies that also are extremely rotten films. Oh, God. I think you like all of them, Cameron. Like, what is there? Kiss the girls, 33% Morgan Freeman. Yeah, I do like that. Hard rain. Oh, I really like that.

Hard rain rocks. Last Man Standing, the Bruce Willis one. How are these rotten films? These are top of tier shit. Yeah, they, uh. That was my face. favorite genre of movie when I was a teenager was like, um, if you get Morgan Freeman as a detective solving a murder, I was pretty happy. I was happy with that. So like three movies. Robin Hood,

Prince of Thieves. Is that count? Um, no, not really. I mean, he is in that movie, but yeah, I guess March of the Penguins. I guess he's investigating the lives of Penguins. He's the opposite of a detective. He's a criminal. He's actually a crook in that one. Stop trying to impress the cineophiles, Matt. Come on. I can list three films of any actor. Well, the Wachowski's having that experience, making that film, getting a torn away from them, they decided that to become successful and to protect the vision,

they would have to become authors themselves, writer-directors, which leads them to writing a script for a little movie known as The Matrix. Oh, shit. Yes. You didn't see that coming? I didn't say that coming. It's the directorial debut. No, they had to make one movie they'd make to The Matrix because they wrote the script.

Everyone's like, this is the best fucking thing I've ever read. It's crazy. My Lord, the first 40 to 50 pages are blowing my mind. And then after that, I'm extremely confused. I have no idea what's going on. But I think it's cool. We do think it's cool. We got to make this thing because we think it's cool.

But they had to prove themselves as directors first to be able to direct that movie because no one can make. that. If you write that script and give it to some hack, they're going to have no idea what to do. I think the new Lord of the Rings show is just by two people that have never made anything before. And it is cool. I've seen two episodes and I'm so cool about that show. It's awesome. They should have given it to me if they're giving it to nobody that has any actual credits. I got a couple. I made a podcast. You worked on Show Me the Movie with Roe McManus.

Yeah, I worked on two cancelled Roe of TV shows. Give me a shot at the beginning. But that's to make a movie first to prove their worth, to prove their vision to prove that they can be trusted with making a big feature film. That movie is Bound. A naughty little neo-No-No-Classic. Cameron, can you tell people about what Bound is? I've never seen Bound. You would have seen Bound too, though.

The song by Kanye West. I've seen that. The film clip with Kim Kardashian. Yeah, on the motorbike. Yeah, very sexy stuff. I've seen that. Is that the sequel to this film? Is it related to...

It's not related. It's not related. Well, I know about Bound because it's one of those DVD covers that I would see at the video shop. A iconic DVD cover. When I was a kid. And I never rented it. But if I had to guess what the plot was, it would be two beautiful women, maybe one played by Carla Gugino, perhaps. I think Jinnah Gershon.

Yeah, why not? and another one played by someone else Joe Pantiliano I thought it was two chicks It is, it's two girls Okay I can't remember who the other person is But it's a great little naughty little little little little

They're like they spies or something They're thieves They're like they fall in love Surely we all get to go At guessing what the movie's about Yeah of course What do you think bound this All right

Two thieves Pretty much They've retired But they've got They can't get called back in For one last job Oh I like That, I'd watch that.

My guess is it's three pets who somehow gets separated from the family and have a wild journey. I'd watch that too. Isn't that homeward bound? Yeah. So that's the poster that I was thinking of. So it's Gina Gershon. I'll take off my... Jennifer Tilly.

Oh, it's got a bit of a wild thing's vibe about it. Was it from the same era? It must be, right? Yeah, 1996. Corky, a tough female ex-convict working on an apartment renovation in Chicago. cargo building meets a couple living next door, Caesar, a paranoid mobster and violet, his seductive girlfriend who is immediately attracted to her. So it's one of the first movies to feature touching between two ladies. One of the first films. I actually

don't know that's true. But it was the first one to do so essentially. Wow. And that was, did that finally break down the Deschanel thing? Zoe Deschanel test. What's it called against Beckdale test? The Bechamel test. The Bechel test actually didn't exist back then. I didn't know. I was trying to get it right. The Deschanel.

Oh, no. But that movie is like a cult success, a cult hit, and it gives them the edge to finally go in and turn that script called The Matrix into a movie called The Matrix. They make the jump from $5 million picture to $100 million picture. That's a big old league.

And it happens more now, but back then, extremely rare for such a thing to happen. Does that feel like what you've done with finding Drago up to finding Yeezus? Wow. Is it that kind of a leap for you? Is your budget 20 times bigger? A budget jump from $20,000 to maybe $60,000. That is a pretty big jump.

60 grand? Yeah, maybe it was around. I don't know. We're not going to put the record on the record. What's the money we got? It might have been more than that. You could have got a little deposit on a one bedroom in Sydney for some of like that. Imagine if we extorted Scraing Australia.

I don't have one bedroom in someone else's house. But that's a, that, that period there where they're sort of like, they come off negative experience with assassins, they have a bit of a sleeper, cheap hit with Bound, then they start pitching to get financing on the Matrix. They've still only made one small budget movie, so they have to sell themselves in the room. And this is something I really like about their story, is that they, approach every pitch meeting

as if they are actors in a play and they come in and they kind of perform their movie for the executives Oh, Mr. Anderson. It's got like a one-man show vibe where they kind of like describe the script because the script is so different to everything else being made. It's an

action heavy script and you know, usually an action in a script that it's like, oh the cavalry comes in and takes over the freaking fortress or whatever but here they're like, you see them run across the walls and like they really go into detail. So people are reading and having no idea what's going on. So they have to act it out. They also get comic book artists.

They're collaborated with on Ecto Kid, the Marvel cinematic. Yeah to be made into a similar thing. But Cameron and I are trying to pitch for Ecto Kids. Yeah. We're trying to get an Ecto Kid movie made. Jess is our, in terms of our podcast, our biggest Marvel fan. Have you heard of

Ecto Kid? Yeah. And he's awesome. No follow-up questions. Because I'm also trying You're working on an Ecto kid project. Yeah, but I want to play Ecto kid. Yeah. So I'm just sort of thinking like I don't really know what age range I can play. Yes.

I don't know why I aged out of being able to be Ecto kid. I have to be Ecto dad now if I do it. I got Bottox to try and play Ecto kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they only put it into my nose. You look great. Thank you so much. Your nose looks so pretty.

I'm so useful. They only put the Bottocks into my nose. Your nose is looking tight. That's a really tight nose. I can barely brief. It's a youthful nose, though. Thank you so much. She whistles when I try to be silent.

But how old is Ecto kid? You know, because in a way, aren't we all kids? Yeah. We're kids or someone. My dad and my mom. Yeah. And my dad and my mom. Oh, my God.

Yeah. We're not related, believe it or not. Not yet. What? What is that mean? Who knows me? We could have cousins that marry. That's what we're saying.

We don't know. You don't know. No one knows what the future is in this room. Alexi could marry my mom and be my stepdad. Exactly. That's crazy. It would be related in law. Yeah.

And in life. The law of man and law of God will unite us? Would you adopt me? Of course I would, darling. This family means so much. How was when I showed? that I'm Barnab. See, it's that easy.

You're going to call him Dad? No, Papa. Yeah, Papa. Are you going to say the Tollipolis name? Yeah, would you take my name if I don't you. Jess Tolleopolis? Oh, fuck. Got you know.

Oh, I like it. I like it. I like it. Yeah, strong knees. For a strong-nosed band. It was like to take Botox to the nose to look more like me. Yeah, she knows looking a little floppy for a toliopolis. We got those tight whistly schnazzas in my face.

family. In our family. Oh, thank you so much. That was the first test and he passed it. Thank goodness. But this script for The Matrix is so wacky and confusing to even give it to the actors. To Keanu Reeves, they said, before you read the script, we're giving you three books. You have to read three books.

And the books are Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Bodied, a philosophy book. Imagine that. Out of control, the new biology of machines, social systems and the economic world. by Kevin Kelly, an editor of wide.com, the website and magazine, and evolutionary psychology, and then he could read the scripts. He freaking loved it. Did Yarn and DeBont have the same requirements for speed? And for Twisters, he's like, you gotta read all this weather books.

That's why Sean Connery said, no, he got out of control, like, no, shank you. I can't do this. Imagine just like going for a part, an action movie. They're like, your agent's like, great news. they want you to be in this action movie you get to do stunts and fire guns and shit. The bad news is they want you to read French philosophy. Three fucking books about it actually.

Do you have to do a test at the end to prove you've read it? I guess so. You just say, yeah, I read it. Because they made, the story goes that they made all the main cast read these books and some of the crew, so like the DOP and shit like that. The best story is furious. I can't imagine the best point.

The grip probably does nothing. The grip probably not. The Gaffir might. Yeah. He was in charge of the election. electronics and lighting departments. So he would need to go, okay. And the art department probably have to have a read.

But apparently, Carrie Ann Moss is the only one who was like, I didn't read. I didn't read it. I just lied. Because this is pretty audible as well. Yeah. You have to turn the pages yourself. Or at least get a book on tape. Oh, yeah.

If you're a celebrity, you get someone to read it for you. Or even like the character George Costanza from Seinfeld pretend that you're blind and get someone to read it to you over the phone. In one of my favorite episodes of Seinfeld. That's a possibility. called the book on tape, I think. Now, what's Seinfeld about, Alexie? Sornfield follows the chronicles of Jerry Seinfeld. It's a bit of a show about nothing, I've heard.

Can't believe we haven't done an episode on it yet. I mean, I would have thought we would get to that before The Matrix. Well, the Matrix holds many secrets, some that many would consider quite unnatural. Oh, oh my goodness. Yes, such as Jeff Darrow, comic book artist of the cult classic hardball became the first concept artist and his images help translate the movie from their ideas into reality. Interesting facts for you guys. This brings us into the pre-production where design really takes shape

and where design becomes important in making the Matrix the classic that it is of the year 1999. The production designer Owen Patterson, who is a Sydney Sider, and Kim Barrett, a costume designer, also a Sydney Sider, they decide to make the two worlds that are represented in the Matrix, real world of kind of crazy stuff out there in the future with robots and sentinels and all that stuff. Oh, sorry. Your mic just cut out.

Oh my God. We should also say while Alexi's testing his mark out there, there might be some spoilers in this episode. So if you haven't seen the Matrix yet, maybe pause now. Go watch the trilogy or the quadrilogy. Quadrilogy. And play the video games. Play the video games.

And watch the Animatrix. Watch the Animatrix. And watch Squid Boy. or whatever the thing was based on. Yeah, you may as well read Ecto Boy. Yeah, Ecto Boy, sorry. And you've got to read those three books as well. Yes.

Before you watch The Matrix, read those three books. It's my, my good. You're good. Wow, okay, let's get back to Owen Patterson and Kim Barrett in the world of the Matrix, which is the made up and fake-believe world that looks like Sydney, Australia. There are grids everywhere in the Matrix and tones of greens and the costumes and the costumes and the costumes are designed to pick up the color green when light is hit in it.

So that's a beautiful little detail to kind of bring that digital world to life. And then the actual real life world, which is set in the future and everything looks kind of like... Fuck ugly. Really ugly and rusty and stuff. But they have soft textures in the clothing. So the hard latex and leather they have in the fake world. And blue colors, they avoid green at all costs, except for the green codes on the monitors,

which is where one would enter them. The zeros and one sort of thing. The zeros and ones. So in one world there's green lights and the other there's no green lights. No green. Was your monthly comedy room green lights comedy an homage to this? Of course it was. The Matrix is all around us, especially when you're in Sydney, Australia, the home of the Matrix.

But I have actually been in the home of the Matrix itself. Owen Patterson, the production designer. I'm close friends of his daughter. And I've been to their house where they have heaps of Matrix memorabilia. There was one time I went to their home And it was a beautiful home It was a party I had taken some illicit materials

What are we talking about? I dropped something Laxatives I dropped my guise I took a A hot deuce of some Illegal Lacksit is not important

Dropped a dose And drop the deuce Double dose of lacks I did a double dose of laxas. It was like to go bottoms up and bottoms out. You're just wondering Holland's house looking for a bathroom? That is actually the next part of the story.

I was wondering the house looking for a bathroom. And the family had secluded themselves from the rascally young partygoers. How will be you at this point? I would have been 19 years old. That would be 19 years old. So it's a house party of 19 year olds and the rest of the family alike

will go into a separate. room and let the kids have their fun. They're in the living room and they're in the living room and I'm trying to find a bathroom. I open the door to the living room by accident and I see them there all watching TV. What should be on the TV? They're all watching The Matrix. Whoa. They're watching the Matrix.

They watch it every weekend. But they're watching it on DVD or Bluroy. They have heaps of copies of it. They're watching on free-to-air TV with ad breaks. That's a real weird thing to walk in on there. So I think. It would be less weird if you walked in on like a fuck party or something. Like walking into Paul McCartney's house and he's listening to a Beatles record or something.

But with a guy go, now, that was Paul McCartney of wings. He was previous band of Beatles. Yeah, so that was pretty whack. I think about that often. Yeah. That's odd. Yeah, but I love that part of my life. Yeah.

Yeah, that's the thing about living in Sydney. You and Cam are living so close to the heart of this beautiful story. Man, you can walk past locations of it. I walk past the bridge where Neo, I walk under the bridge where Neo gets that little robot thing in him. Under the bridge, Chile River Star. I'm looking for heroin. And laxatives.

If you finally laxatives, let me do. I walk under that bridge where Neo gets a little robot thing put in him and then sucked out of his belly button most days. And every time I go, I should take a photo of this bridge because one day it won't be here and this is special. Yeah. Special moment. Can you please take a photo for us next time you're walking under that bridge?

Definitely. Buying heroin. I'll wear a wire. Well, one of the other things that makes the Matrix so fascinating and why it's last as a classic, holding its cult status, is that it has very unique fight choreography. This, of course, comes from a Yunwo Ping, a fight choreographer who made his bones directing Jackie Chan and his breakout hits Drunken Master and Snake in the Eagle's Shadow

which both have interesting scenes where a guy gets his balls ripped off. Whoa. Is that his trademark? You've seen The Matrix. I'm sure you've seen that scene happen. When you bring up Jackie Chan, I think it's three proud Melbourneians.

We've got to bring up, I can't remember the name of it, but Jackie Chan actually filmed a movie in Melbourne once. No more miss a nice guy. Yes. There it is. Yes. He's also a Camberon. He's jealous.

He's from Canberra. I'm jealous, of course. Jackie Chan's from Canberra. What? Yeah. He's from Canberra. What are you talking about? He went through school in Canberra and stuff.

His parents opened the restaurant there. Are you serious? Yeah. Should we change it? You're fucking lost. There's no way. That's true. I've heard that.

Yeah. He's got some big Ozzie connection. I thought he was from Hong Kong. I knew he had an Aussie connection, but there's no way he's from Canber. He's from Canber. The nation's capital. Born and bread. Bread in Canberra?

Why aren't Camberians telling us this? Tom 10. I can't. No, he's not born there. He's born in Hong Kong. Look up, Command F, Canberra or ACT. How do you think Canberra became the capital? Oh, good point.

Jackie Chan punched his way. I can't, I just can't. All right, look, I'm just going to quickly command F. Has he at least visited? Give Lexi something. He's been there. He's been there, done that. Has he been to the war memorial?

Okay, yeah. So his parents moved to Australia in the 70s. Jackie Chan joined them in Australia in 1976 where he briefly attended Dixon College and worked as a construction worker. There you go. I can't but we claim Russell Crow. He got his name Jackie here in Australia.

He was just called Jack. And Ozzy's called him Jackie. Holy shit. What the fuck is going on? I'm in the Matrix? She reports in one on the second time. I feel like it was taking the red pill. Yeah, this is insane.

I voted blue. I knew I couldn't handle it. This is crazy. I cannot believe. Why are we proud of, we're so much, we're proud of any bullshit. Exactly. We're proud of New Zealand race horses. Yeah, that's true.

That's why I always claim Jackie Chan. He's all the great Aussie ashes. He's one of the great Aussie accents. His stint our neighbors was legendary. I was proud that he briefly made a film here. I didn't know where you fucking lived here, dude. Jesus. Thank God they called him Jackie.

You know, like Jack. Oh, my. He worked as a construction worker. He probably built some of our most famous buildings. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Parliament House. I think he built the slide at Questicon.

That's a national treasure. And we thank him for that. Thank you, Jackie. Wow. I don't know if you're going to be able to top that. I know. I blew my freaking wand. I blew my whole wand.

You blow your one on a side note. Yeah. That was off the cuff. I should. Jackie Chan, one of Hong Kong's most exciting stars from Rush Hour 1, 2, and of course, Rush Hour 3. Man, I love those Rush Hour movies as a kid. I still love it.

Or whenever they came out, probably when I was quite old. I don't know. Yeah, how old are you? I'm hundreds of years old on this point. Well, it would have come out when you were 108, probably. And isn't that interesting, though, that you were like when I was a kid, but you were probably an adult? And that's why I think I should be able to play Ecotok. That's a good point

Get her in Get her in Kidd is really a state of mind That's so true You don't have to sell us on this concept We're not in charge of Ecto Kidd Right You've got some connection to it though

Let's be honest That's true I do have a stake in Edgar King I'm a co-creator of the character Well anyway This guy, Yunwo Ping He trained all the actors to do

Kung Fu Which is a form of martial arts And Oaxis put four months in the schedule for training, Ping thought two would be more than enough. Two months. That's all he thought it would take. But then after the first day of training,

he saw the actors, saw they couldn't even really punch and start to freak out. He said that he became quite concerned, and after the first day, he switched to studying with exercises to just build their strength. And he needed to utilize those full two months.

Oh, man. Because just before training begun, Keanu Reeves had a two-level spinal fusion. Oh, shit. And when you see him training in the documentaries, he's always wearing a neck brace. That's true. He's got a neck brace on all the training. I thought he was wooden because of just like acting skills.

No, it's a spinal. He's had a spinal fusion, a level two spinal fusion. Why? It actually must have been insane to be an actor on this movie and be like, all right, so I've got to read these three philosophy books and then do four months of boot camp. What's wearing a neck brace? Yeah, what the fuck? But imagine you come in going, I'm going to teach him kung fu and you're like,

I have to take him back to X him. exercise. Yeah, he couldn't go any further back than that. I know, I know. The poor, because he's used to working

with actual martial artists. And then he comes in and it's Hugo Weaving. And they all made the decision. They're like, it looks way better when it's the actors doing it rather than stunt doubles.

He needs to look and feel real because such an integral part of the movie. And then Yunwupin Wiping found everyone's strengths and their style and kind of stylized their choreography around the strengths. That's awesome.

That's so cool. And so this is what he says about each of the four primary leads. Carriane Moss has a beautiful feminine figure. Her beauty flows with her jump, bounce and walk. That's her streaks.

Jump, bounce, jiggle, correct. Her movements have an essence of beauty. She's a very perched. Herky water. Everyone's strength. Hersey's walking. Yeah, I really hope to watching her walk away.

This doesn't stand out as being awful when you read out the next three. Well, the rest are a little less poetic, little bit shorter to the point. Lawrence, as in Lawrence Fishburn, was born good at bouncing and jumping. Okay.

That was his whole observation on him. Kianu is very diligent. He always wants to do things better. And Hugo's movements are very strong, clean and precise. He's like a robotic man. Very powerful. So he must have seen him busking

on the street. There's a super wide. Yeah, I think it's like, I watched the documentary, the Matrix revisited. Great picture two hours long. It's just two hell long behind the scenes. Montage, essentially.

There's no story to the documentary. It's two hours of montage. And it's, yeah, he basically says, Keanu, he's tenacious. So I focused on that. Lawrence, powerful. I focused on that. Hugo, precise, focused on that.

Carrie Ann Moss, she's, yeah, she's a woman. Oh, my God. She's graceful. She's very pretty. So, yeah, just, yeah, focus on that. But when you watch the movie, Carrie Ann Moss is, like, the best in it. She does all the cool shit.

She gets to run up the walls, does that cool famous kick that everyone copied. She's badass. And she has boobs while she's doing all these things. She's got tits as well, yeah. Yeah, oh, that's cool. And she's wearing heels. Oh, that's good. It makes me feel represented.

Yeah, well, that's good. That brings us to one of the most ultimate and exciting advances in technology that the Matrix brings to the dawn of cinema at this time. The dawn of the new millennium. We are talking about bullet time. No. Wait, what does that mean? Bullet time is a technique that the Matrix really made cool and exciting and famous.

Cameron, do you want to tell us what bullet time is and how it works? I don't have any notes in front of me, so this is just purely from my... The dome. The consciousness. I did put it in late 90s parlance. Top of the dome. Yeah, straight from the dome. Cameron's going to glean the cube with this one.

It's from the bong. Another 90s reference. So Bullet Time, if you've seen the movies, the Matrix movies, you know the parts where it kind of slows down and Neo like leans backwards and bullets whizz past him or... They whiz. Carrie Ann Moss's character Trinity jumps up and does that cool kick and the camera like spins around her and slow-moire while she's hanging in the air. That is a technique called Bullet Time that is, was never really used before. This may be a couple of times was used in advertising. and music videos.

There's a few times that they kind of, not in this way, where it was kind of pioneered before that. Michelle Gondry, the French director and his effects company, Buff, pioneered bullet time in some photography in music videos,

like the Rolling Stones cover of Like a Rolling Stone, directed by Michelle Gondry. Weird music video, everyone's faces is like warping around and stuff. So the way it's done is in the Matrix, the way that they did it is they set up 100 steel cameras,

like normal camera, you know, takes a still image. Yeah, like an SLR type thing. SLA, the SLA probably, digital. Maybe 99 could have been a regular SLO. Could have been an SLR.

Yeah. Could have just been an SLA. No, I think it was important you put him up there. And I appreciate that you did. I mean, there could have been disposable cameras back there. I had to assert some authority over this thing that I'm making up. They use 100 cameras in a circle that takes still images around the actors. And then those are all stitched together to kind of animate like a Zib fucking movie.

They turn it into a movie. from stills. And then usually it's like a semicircle. And on the end of each end of that semicircle, there's like a motion regular film camera that will pick up the start and end of that movement. So that way they've got like the full 180 or 360 degree image. The reason we know a little bit about this is because we've actually worked with a bullet time rig. We hired one for finding eases.

They're really expensive. Oh my God. Is it still the same technology where it's a hundred cameras? Yeah, well, we couldn't afford the full 100 We got 50. Yeah, we got like 50 or something. We got 50 cameras because it was you pay per camera.

And we only got a deal because we said Auntie Donna would do socials for the company that applies it out. Auntie Donna also filmed some stuff on it that they'll use on their website. And then we, when Auntie Donna were finished, we were like, and just jumped in there.

And did our opening final sequence. That's so cool. But it looks cool. I can't believe that Arnie Donna have more pool with this company than you two. Well, I need

Donna a successful famous sketch group. We are underground cult favorites. We're two dips.

Yeah. I like how you refer to the Matrix as a cult hit before. Yeah. A hundred million

dollar film Yeah, I don't think it's a million dollars. It's a cult. It's inspired a cult. It's a cult is

their worldwide popular Saturn. But it's interesting going through bullet time and researching it, it's so interesting

how, like, how that technology has kind of always been around. All the thoughts of it has always been around even before cinema and film existed, a very famous image of the horse in motion

from the 1870s that we've all seen. If you've seen the movie, Nope, you've seen it recently as well. It's quite prominent in there, which is just a row of cameras on a track set up to record the motion and passing of time of that horse moving across the track. And then lineage of film techniques like this are kind of like used in Sam Peck and Pars The Wild Bunch, which uses slow motion gunfights with squibs exploding and then John Wu any slow action, slow motion action movies of the 80s and 90s dubbed heroic bloodshed, like hard-boiled and a better tomorrow, also use that slow-motion technique.

And this kind of like blends those two together to create bullet time. It's essentially flip, like a flip book kind of technique, really? Or a Zoe trope. A Zoe trope, yeah. Is that the thing where it's a candle in the middle and like the light spins around it? Or you like spin the thing and just look through a little crack in it and you're like, okay, the horse is running. How boring was fucking entertainment back in the before TV.

I watched the movie and you too might not have heard of it because it's pretty underground. It's got 3,000 years of longing the other day. I've seen it. I've seen it. In it, have you seen it? Yeah, I've seen it. Is that what that thing is that the girl from the past who came up with great inventions? I believe she uses Zoe Trap, I think.

Thank you. Yeah. That's the first time I'd seen it. It was this week. What are the odds of that? Yeah, so without that, we have no board time. say one in a freaking million. And the other thing you kind of mentioned camera is there was a commercial,

a Smeanov vodka campaign also directed by Michelle Gondry that has this kind of slow motion effect of bullets flying through. Would you believe it? B bottles of vodka and stuff. But I rewatch that commercial and it looks so much like the Matrix, especially the new movie Matrix of Erections, resurrection, sorry. Dave's got a great skill in turning. any movie title and you can test him at any point.

He can turn any film into the porn parody. Yeah, I think you've just done the resurrection. You already done it. Wow, okay, that's exciting. Yeah, I mean, if you think of a movie at any point during the rest of the episode, please test it out. I'm looking for a la Bronte. Go on Dave.

Hook in. I would say, you. Oh, see, now, don't, we are on, on, on, on, on Camp's turf here, Dave. It's a Sydney movie too. In Melbourne, you are the man at turning film. snap that one right up, but I, we are on my home turf, so I did go. I'm a little bit embarrassed in front of you, to be honest. Yeah.

I would have said looking for anal badly, but whatever. That's disgusting. Yeah, I'm a creep. I'm a weird thing. What the hell am I doing here? I'm a long year. But this bullet time technique has been parodied countless times by the release of the second film in the Matrix franchise, Matrix Reloaded.

The bullet time effect had even been spoofed. Can you do anything with that? Matrix, um, fresh loads have come. Matrix, rechoded. Okay, that's better. It's going to say matrix full loaded. Oh, that's good too. That's good, too.

No, I like rechotechote. Rechoted. Now, what is that movie? I just got my dick rechoded, actually. Roll it. Roll it time around the show. Yeah. Rechotid is when you get dogs to the dick.

I got dick rechotter. I got Dick Lipo as soon as I got money. That was my first. You know, I people say when I got money, I can splash out on a jag. When I first got money, I got my dick lipo and then I got a re-choters. When they came back in the boat. They got to say that Jones are back.

I got to get re-choters. When Chodes came back in vogue. The Wachowski said to Keanu, you can be in the movie, but you will have to have a show. We'll have to give you. We'll have to re-chode you. You're reaching Dr. Choos.

I'm demanding a re-choting immediately. They say you can only get, you can only get re-chered once in life. Very dangerous. That whole effect, that whole spinning around effect, was parodied so much. Oh, yes.

It's in everything. But it's amazing. It's still being parodied. It was parodied in the most recent space jam film. Still. I don't know. I'm still doing Matrix.

It's like a 20-year-old movie. It's so weird, isn't it? But it's still, it's crazy, right? I haven't seen that. So I'm, maybe I'm assuming it was in everything. I remember within, within a year of the Matrix coming out, it was in like, Duce Bigelow, Mel Gigolo. There's a whole.

Oh, fantastic film. Fantastic piece of cinema. Yeah, great. Between the first two films. Just Bigger Blow. Oh, okay. Space Ram. Okay.

Here we go, see? He's back. See what I was talking about? That's jet lag. He's finally on our phone. For a little while there, I felt like the goad recommended a film and you're watching it with those people. And everyone's going to this film sucks. That's what I felt like when I said, Dave.

Could do porn parodies. Yeah, this film sucks. Well, in between the first two Matrix films, it was parodied in 20 different movies and spoofs, including Kung Power Enter the Fifth. Anything you do with that? Shrek and Charlie's Angels. Oh, yeah, Donkey did. I think Donkey did it. Or Princess Fiona did it.

I remember seeing Shrek in the cinema and being like, How dare they mock the Matrix in this? Anyway, the Matrix was filmed in the country, Australia. A nation girted by sea and haunted by its own history that I shan't go into. Ozy, Osie, Osie, Aussie, oh, hoi. Is that what you think it is? Ahoy, hoi, hoi. They chose Australia for economic reasons.

Tax rebates, etc. Allow me to go into the taxation history of the Matrix. But it's also being such a long way away, gave them a little bit more chance to hide away from the studio executives to get a little bit more artistic integrity and autonomy over the movie. The shooting begins the Buddhist blessing on the set on the first day. And Keanu's neck didn't quite fuse. So they had to schedule, rearrange a schedule,

to offload the physical stuff towards the end of the shoot and allow him time to heal his neck. So, yep, that's tough stuff. Do you know how he injured the neck? I know. Giving head. No, I think he said he slipped in the shower.

Yeah. That's what he was up to this. What's that's fake? No, not part of this. Many of cities iconic structures like the Hubbard Bridge and the Opera House are blocked in the movie with new structures hiding them

so the city cannot be identified by its beautiful iconography. Is it, because it, is it set in a certain time? It's set anywhere in the 1990s. It's supposed to be any city in the world, but if you are an Australian, you can spot Australian street signs, phone booths.

The climax of the film, you can see the Telstra logo at almost all times at the top of that sky sky. It's kind of fun. And especially, like, if you know you're Sydney, you know that they're shooting in the CBD, that's Martin Place. I know that St. James Station.

You know all the areas. The girl in the red dress walks by Martin Place. And all the other characters in that girl in the red dress scene, all the little extras are twins. They get twins to dress them up in the same costumes to kind of give you the idea of like everything's being generated and be a computer glitch. Yeah, beautiful stuff.

Really thoughtful movie. Lots of cool ideas in The Matrix. Yeah, it just feels like a bit of a negative use of twins to me. How would you use them? I just feel like twins aren't a glitch. I think twins are just human beings. They are creepy, though, yeah? They're strange, especially when they talk their own language.

Yeah. Ah, blah, leh, blah, blah. I'm a blibada, but do. Alexei and I speak a twin language. We share the womb for several months, making fun and users. We were dating the same woman. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Has anyone ever said that before? We shared... It might be a new bit. That might be a new bit. That might be a new bit. We shared the womb when we were dating this. Oh my God, that is sickening. I've had two beers.

And I've had 12 and I'm fine. Let me tell you about the most difficult sequence to shoot while making The Matrix. There's a sequence during a subway set that to build the subway at an old, the old wheat size. that are next to the Anzac Bridge, which is where I used to go drinking underage as a teenager. So I have many memories associated to the Matrix and the use of illicit illegal substances. Latsinid. So I used to go shit yourself. Me and all my friends would take all these latsnities and go shit underneath.

Last one the shit loses. It's a real Sydney thing. We love to drop those owls, you know? That's what we say. We drop those owls and drop those troughs and see what goes. At the beginning of shooting of this sequence, the Wachowski's were sick. They were working during summer and they were still wearing huge coats because they had high fevers. And then because of this sequence, because in that subway scene, this is like debris has fallen everywhere.

And Keanu Reeves and Hugo Weavings, they have to make contact when they fight so the dust will fly off their costumes. So it's one of the most intense fight scenes as well where they actually have to hit each other. And Hugo Weaving said strangely, he actually prefers punching rather than receiving the punches. He said it's much harder to take the hits. I was like, yeah, brother. What do you mean?

You're saying they're like, that's the weak thing to say. It's the most normal reaction. It's actually crazy, a bit of a hot take. I love to throw punches, but I don't enjoy it. I don't like it when it comes back my way.

Yeah, I don't like it when he punched me. Yeah, I love to give. I cannot take it. Please, please stop, stop, stop. But let me come in for another one. Let me go for him. I love to eat. I hate washing up.

Him coming in and being like, I cannot wait to punch Keanu in the face. It's going to be so fun. I'm going to hit him a robotic style like I'm known to do. But in this sequence as well, Chad Stahelski, who is Keanu Reeves' double. And they kind of think of this performance as a collaboration between the two actors where he fills the gaps that Keanu can't quite do. He suffers many injuries from a sequence where he is thrown up into the roof of the subway, where he breaks his knee, breaks his ribs and dislocates his shoulder.

So then he is replaced by another double called Darko Tuscan, who then also is injured when a hydraulic puller machine forces him through a breakable wall. Hey, just a quick sidebar on Chad's Dehelsky. He is a very cool dude. Very cool, dude. Very handsome dude. Like, you're doubling for Keanu. You look like a babe.

Yeah, right? He's the stunt double for Keanu on this. By the second and third film, he's graduated to stunt coordinator. After that, he starts being an assistant director and a second unit director for other movies. And man now, do you know what he does? He writes and directs the John Witton. movies. Holy shit.

Staring Keanu Reeves. That's sick. How cool is that? And he's in the Matrix 4, by the way. He plays a character called Chad in that. And he's Carrie Ann Moss's husband. Oh, that's so cool. He's a really handsome dude.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. And he still does stunts and shillow. So he looks like Keanu, but he can act and stuff. That's what. And direct. And direct. And Keanu's just trying to find other roles from me.

Is I plead, no. I mean, I've got. Maybe be a director or something, yeah. This is my thing, dude. It's threatened. Yeah, maybe make a franchise. Maybe you can redefine action cinema. How hard do you have to be to threaten Keanu?

I know. He's a really handsome guy. It's insane. If you put them together, God, you have a great weekend. You're getting real horny on this episode. Yeah, you've got a few beers, had a few laxatives. One thing that is very interesting to know as well is because the Matrix is such a big philosophical movie. It's open to so many different interpretations. And there's one interpretation

that we should talk about before we wrap things up, which is a modern take on the Matrix, which is the Matrix as a trans allegory. Because since the movie came out, the Wachowski siblings have both come out as trans. And in the original script of The Matrix, a very beloved character called Switch, played by Australian Actus Belinda McClory, was a trans character. In the real world, the character is masculine and when they enter the matrix they are a feminine character and that was something that was changed

because people couldn't quite understand what was going on but Lily Wachowski has discussed the film as always being about identity and the desire for transformation but it's all coming from a closeted perspective from both sisters Lily talks about her and Lana

while writing the film not really knowing how present their trans identities were back in the back of their minds but she talks about existing a space where the words or terminology didn't quite exist yet, and they always lived in a world of imagination, and that's why they're so drawn to genre storytelling

and sci-fi and fantasy. So it's kind of like the new interpretation on the Matrix is this trans allegory about their identities that they were yet to figure out and come out with. That's beautiful, yeah. Once you know that, it's hard to not see that when you watch The Matrix now. Yeah.

Totally, and if you've seen The Matrix 4, they explicitly state that quite a bit in the movie. There's a scene in the... I don't want to spoil it, but there is a scene in the Matrix Wall where people sit around and discuss what the Matrix movies are about.

What? The Matrix Reserrections is kind of like Gremlins to the new batch or even... It's said in a world where the Matrix exists. It's almost like a scream sort of thing. Kind of. Yeah. Wow. And there's a bit where there's all these characters going, for me, the Matrix is about Kung Fu.

And then another one's like, no, it's a trans allegory. And then other people say, oh, this shit. It is one of the strangest blockbusters that has been made in the last 20 years, the Metro Resurrection. And good or not? I love it personally. I really enjoyed it too. It reminds you of grandma's a new batch meets a new nightmare,

the nightmare on Elm Street's reboot that has the nightmare of Elm Street existing as a franchise, but Freddy's a real guy. Really, you love stuff. I love meta. I love meta. I love going two layers deep. Yeah. And no, that's not.

A euphism. That's not an Oprah and Roger Evert. But in closing, let me tell you some final thoughts on the Matrix. In North America, the Matrix went on to become the fifth highest-grossing film of 1999. After Star Wars, Episode 1, The Phantom Menace, the Sixth Sense, Austin Powers, the Spy Shagby, and Toy Story 2, narrowly beating out the Mummy and Big Daddy. I mean, it's a hell of a year for the movies. And were they all nominated for Best Picture?

Big Daddy, yeah. The Big Daddy did take it out there. Big trophy. If I was going to guess, I would assume that Matrix was easily the biggest blockbuster that film that year. Number five. It was, number five. I also would have said the same thing. Surely, number one.

And then you go, okay, Star Wars, Phantom Man, it's all right? Fair enough. Yeah, fair enough. Wow. Austin Powers, the guy had legs. It's just exciting. exciting time for me. I love it.

And I also love Big Daddy. And I love all those movies. Me too. My least favorite of them all, probably Toy Story too. Yeah. I can't remember what happens in the second one. That says also a good film. But it didn't have a scuba state.

Jesse comes in. Yeah, okay. I did like that one. Of course you identify with that character. You share the same name. Exactly. But off the list. Me, I identify with him.

Because you share the same name? Yeah. And I'm going to coin slime. Okay. This guy is. It's getting wild. Let's be a real frisky. Really?

The Matrix won four Oscars, including editing, sound, sound effects and visual effects. The Matrix reached its ultimate form when it was released on DVD in September of 1999 in its original aspect ratio.

It was the first DVD to sell one million copies in the United States, and it was also the first DVD to sell three million copies, A record it held for a few months until Gladiator beat it. The Ultimate Matrix Collection also sadly lost in the category of best menu design

at the 2005 DVD exclusive awards to the Star Wars trilogy. The Matrix has become a huge success and spawned three sequels, video games and an animated anthology. And each one of them is freaking awesome. And if you don't get it, you're a freaking dance, dude. That's all I'll say. If you don't get how good the Matrix sequels are, you are not film literate. Right, so you think two and three are as good as one? I think not as good as one.

They're just awesome. Because I've heard people say that they're not good. They're real good. I'm one of those people. I hate two and three. I think they suck us. They're beautiful. They're really bad.

No, I'm not a dance. I'm a dunce apparently. You're a dance. I'm happy to sit here and say, I'm a dance. Are we looking at a modern-day Siskel and Ebert here? Yeah. Guess which one of us fucked Oprah? And yeah, you can have two guesses at that.

We'll share it for a while. Yes. Lexi, just quickly, can you just relatively quick fire? Can you name all four of the movies, and Dave will then give the porn parody. The Matrix. I mean, she does tricks, something like that. The wet chicks.

We could do the gay tricks. That's awesome. That's good. That's great. Beautiful. The Matrix Reloaded. We already have one. We already have one.

We already have one. We already have one. Okay. The Matrix revolutions. Uh, we could do a revotions. Oh my Lord. You're a nasty boy. Yeah.

The Matrix resurrections. Well, I mean, the Matrix, huge erections. Yeah. It's got a bit. Don't forget the Anna Matrix. Uh, Fana matrix. What's Fena? Like, it's a funny matrix.

Oh, thank you so much. I like the Fanny Matrix. Sometimes there's a two steps. It's a two stuff. Funny maker. He's good. I promise him. He's good.

I was nervous, my attention. And the boy, it doesn't miss. He don't miss. That is good. That would be a different movie depending on what country you're reading.

Yeah. That's what's exciting about that. You don't know what you're going to get. What is it? It's exciting. It's exciting. Where is this going? Yeah, that's exciting.

You know, the Matrix has even spawned religions and many other philosophical studies. What is that mean? There's a religion called Matrixism, aka the Path of the One. They claim to have over, what is it? They claim to have over 1,600 members, which isn't that many. But still, I think of a lot. But people have estimated it closer to 300 members, but they are a... Oh, wow, okay, it's really dropping here.

So to brag that you have 1,600, and then for people to go, well, probably more like 300, actually, if we count censors. Three hundred, but they've got six accounts. Yeah, but there's a lot of religions that have kind of merged off or branched off from Matrixism. And they tend to believe in the idea that after death, our bodies can get uploaded into, like, a cloud or a computer or a singularity or something like that. it's now a philosophy. It's called transhumanism. A lot of people talk about it. A lot of people say that is the future that we will eventually merge with the internet or computers or technology or robots. It's almost a way of ensuring immortality through technology. Yes. And I for one think it's really freaky-diki.

And I think it's only Diki. I don't think it's that freaky, but he's deaky because it's an idea of creating an actual afterlife out there. like actually guaranteeing our afterlife. Yeah, isn't there an episode of the black mirror that's sort of like that? Yeah, there's a few things that have come out that are like, hey, what if your significant other who died could, you know, you could bring them back by turning their Facebook into a simulation of them or something? There's a show called upload, which is that exact premise. Yeah. Who's in uploads? Nobody.

Nobody. Yeah, that's like a very handsome man. Yeah, some hot dude. Yeah. But hot like not Chris Catan? Even hotter than Catan. But no chats to Hellsky.

This guy was probably played, he was, he's probably either played or been the quarterback for a homecoming queen. Yeah, well. If that's the prank boy friend. He's the quarterback for a homecoming queen. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So he's fucking hot as hell. Yeah, but not in like an interesting way. No. No. Yeah. He's a dull hot. A dull hot. If saved by the bell was being made, he could have played Zach.

Oh, yeah. Oh, you know what I mean? Exactly. Zach, yeah. Totally. Zach, yeah. What's that? He's hot enough to be a Zach.

Wow. Anyone called Zach is hot. Yeah. Name it ugly Zach. Um, you can't. Yeah, good love. Zach Michaels. Okay.

To go and school with real fuggo. We can't leave that in or? Yeah, he's dead now. He doesn't matter. He died. They got real ugly. At the very end, yeah. Just let the wrong show you.

He fell off a cliff and got squished. That's a guy made up. He doesn't exist anymore. Well, I for one, I only watched the Matrix again recently, like, you know, in the last couple of years, but I'm going to watch it again now. Wow. And then persist with two, three, and four. Okay. Yeah, the family Matrix as well.

Yeah, you've got to chuck that fan of Matrix on. Let me just get it quick. Before we finish up, can I get a ranking order? Oh, wow. Wow. Okay, Matrix, then Animatrix, then I'll go Matrix Reserrections, then I go Matrix Reloaded, then Matrix Rechoters. And then, I'll say Matrix Revolutions is my least favorite one, unless I were to count the

cutscenes from Enter the Matrix, the video game. Okay. Which is filmed with the real actors such as Jada Pinkett's, I asked you a question that I didn't realize that two were answering it. I wouldn't understand the answer. Can you just give it to be in numbers? So you go one is one. 1.5 animated version.

Is 2? That's number 2. Then I would say 4, then 2, then 3. Okay. And that's my pin number. So I'll try it out. So Ken was right when he said the second and third ones were duds. They're not duds.

They're misunderstood and misinterpreted. You ranked them. last. Yeah, but still, something had to be last. Thank you so much, Jess. It's limited. You're right.

Exactly. If you made me rank every film of all time, they would do well. You put 1.5 ahead of it. Yes, because it's an interesting animation. It's got nine different stories, all chronicling different adventures set in the Matrix universe by different animation artists.

The funny thing is that one of those South Park guys, family guy did one. One of the second or third ones is one of the, I did one. With the most famous scene where there's a lot of Hugo weaving. Oh yeah, the second one, I think. That's number two. And there's just like too much Hugo weaving.

There's heaps of Hugo weaving. Is it possible? It's like 15. Oh, they're never too much. Yeah, especially if you're freaking Screen Australia, back in every Hugo join. Thank you for the funding for finding. For funny years, by the way, Screen Australia. My question is, do we know if they're going to make more of it?

A, probably not. Well, the idea was that Warner Brothers said, we're making the fourth one. And then they went to the Wachowski's. and said, good news, we're going to do the fourth one. And the Wachowski said, we don't want to do it. And they said, well, we're going to do it anyway. And then so then one of the Wachowski's was like, well, I guess I'll just fucking do it then. Oh, I'm not kidding.

So it's only one of the Wachowski's did four. And it's about how they're being forced to do another Matrix movie. That's why they're talking about the Matrix. Yeah. It's also quite beautiful. The premise of the movie is that Neo is a video game designer who made a bunch of video games called The Matrix, one, two, and three. and he's being forced to make a fourth one.

And they keep on calling it the reboot and stuff. Wow. They use very language that is real. They say the word Warner Brothers in the movie. Warner Brothers is doing another matrix. When they say Warner Brothers, I felt a skip in my heart. I burst out of laughing.

It's pretty wild. I couldn't believe it. I was like, what a stupid stupid. You've ranked at number three. I didn't say skipping a heart was bad. That's almost like in Liny Tunes back in action with Brendan Fraser where there's a couple of characters who are wonderful. The Warner Bros.

Suits. That's such a beautiful bit of cinema. God, Warner Brother, before you tell him that, that's too much information. Ah, that's an old joke, too. That's good stuff. Yeah, Zach would tell that to be in the old school yard. Rest in peace. That's for you, brother.

I'm up for Devon. Oh, hell, got to quite so mischie. All limbo. Whoa. Well, thank you so much for joining us. We're so excited for finding Yeezers. Me too. Tell us a little bit more about it.

Where we can see it, when it's coming out, how many episodes, all that sort of stuff. We'd love to know. Okay, so are you guys heard of Auntie Donna? No. Okay, so there are a cult- There are a cult sketch group from Australia who have come to international acclaim

via the medium of Netflix and YouTube and live performance. The Big Three. Yeah, they tackle the Big Three. And they're producing this for us, so it's on their Grousehouse YouTube channel, which is a YouTube channel they run for stuff that's not Auntie Donna.

Yeah, home for new Australian comedy content. And this is a documentary series. We've been working hot on the trail of this mystery about Kanye Quest 3030, a video game that we believe was used as a recruitment tool for a new age cult, not unlike the cult of the Matrixists, which is about transhumanism, about finding immortality through the internet. So we're trying to find out who the creator of this game is. And who the cult leader is,

and whether it's all real or whether it's all a bunch of hot. hogwash. There's six episodes. They come out every Monday from September 26. And it's very, very fucking cool and fun. It's cool. Yeah, it's officially cool, guys. It's an officially cool show.

All right. Because the three of us, big fans of the first two seasons, independently. We didn't even make each other listen. We all individually listen and enjoy. People can listen to those still in podcasts for you. Yes, yes. But this is a video series. It's a new mystery.

But people can listen to Finding Drago, Fighting Desperator to get pumped up. Absolutely. For finding Jesus. But is it true, what some people say is it's very manufactured. The way you do it is you know where you're ending up and then you work back from there. Is that a lie? You know, it's a little bit of movie, Matt. I'll pull back the curtain and reveal to you that it's all real.

Whoa. Yeah. None of it's manufactured. What we hear and what we see is your journey. Yeah. And as you're on that journey. There's maybe two times where we know in advance what's happening before we film. But for the most part, it's all happening for real.

Yeah, and like every interview, that's all real and crazy stuff. We don't know what the people are going to say. We have ideas of what we hope they're going to say. Well, yeah, that's a thing because you have to submit scripts to screen Australia, which is weird because it's a documentary. Yeah. So they go, all right, congratulations, you're doing it. We need to see six scripts.

And we're like, what do you mean? So we had to write a fictional version. of what this show was going to be, and submit it to them and go, here's what we think will happen. And then, of course, none of that shit happened. But so we did have an idea in our head of what we hoped might happen. But I would say, like, you know, every day was a surprise. Every day, something freaking crazy happened. They kept going in different directions. We had to book flight that we didn't know. We had to book lots of crazy stuff. Oh, what's the furthest place you ended up in? We went to the North Pole.

City closes behind it. Yeah, we had to find a guy in a red suit Won't say through But let's just say, Big old beard, big belly How jolly was he? Oh, one of the jollies guys I ever did see

And yeah, he knew when I was sleeping Hey, yeah, what list I was on Yeah, the cool list You're an awesome documentary series Actually, we were going to show you guys The first episode before we recorded this But I just realized we forgot to do that Yeah, so.

Can we still watch it later? Yeah, if you want. Maybe we'll watch it before we get to everyone's favorite section of the show. Oh, yes. Yeah, do we have to do that? No, you don't have to do it. But before we, like, the listeners at home, for them, it's just a bloody blink of the eye, twinkle at the nose.

But for us, it might be some moments. Before we get there, I just love, so what's the new show called? Finding Yeez-Sys. I'd love to hear, before we go on, I'd love to hear the porn parody name. It's got to be finding penis. Surely. That's awesome. Yeah, that's awesome.

And so much, Lexi and Kaye for joining us, Dave. Brutus home. Hey, thank you so much. We'll be posting all about the show. Wow. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. We love people.

That's your off to take. Thank you so much. I plan to take it and make the porn of parody myself. With Screen Australia's funding. To help me find that penis. Well, now it is time for everyone's favorite section of the show. a quick break, watch the first episode of Finding Yeezus, had a lovely time. We've sent Alexei and Cam Off with a goody bag of do-go-on lollies and merchandise

that we haven't been able to sell. And they look chuffed as. But yeah, that was fun. What a funny show. And I'm in. I'll tell you that for nothing. You're in? I'm in.

Okay. Thank you for telling me that for free because I did not want to pay for that information. Yeah, I'm hooked. I'm absolutely hooked as well. They're the masters of hooking you in. Yeah. They're so funny. They are so funny.

I love having them on the show. I laugh so much. My face still hurts. So let's get this 30 to 40 minutes out of the way so I can go rest my face. I need to ice my cheeks. Oh, ice those cheeks. Both pairs. Both sets of cheeks.

And a pair of cheeks. Is that something that's the kind of phrase you'd use? So this section of the show, is where we get to thank our supporters. These are the people who make the show happen. They keep the lights on and the recorder on and all these other things on. They keep us on. They keep us on.

Yeah. Without them, I'm off. Yeah. You're right off. So in this section, we thank these great people who support us at patreon. Patreon.com slash dogo on pod or dogoonpod.com. And there's a bunch of different rewards people can get. Just very briefly, what are some of those things they can get?

Very briefly. Yes. They can get early access to tickets to live shows. They can get three bonus episodes per calendar month. Can you believe it? Wow. They get access to a Facebook group, the nicest corner of the internet. And they get to vote on a bunch of topics.

So they literally get to control us in this one element of our lives, which is writing reports for this podcast. And it feels good. It feels good. I like, I'm a Virgo. So I love to be in control. But it is nice every now and then to just relinquish just a tiny little bit of control to somebody else. So funny because you two are born quite close together and you're a virgin.

I'm a virgin. And Dave's a virgin. Yes, that's right. You're not weird. Different dialect. Okay. Yeah. Just that one day apart.

Born in different places. Yeah. That's why Dave and I are so incredibly different. It's why Dave and I just can't seem to get along. Yeah. It sucks. No matter what I'd try. Keep trying to bring you together.

We are unpleasant to each other. The first thing we like to do... She's violent. The first thing we like to do in the section of the show is the fact quote or question section, which has a little jingle go somewhere like this. Fact quote or question. He always remembers the ding.

She always remembers the jingle. And I say that now because Jess complained that I don't compliment her for remembering things. That's how competitive it is. Yeah. You can't compliment. Dave, unless you also compliment me. And in this part of the show, we read out some fact quotes or questions.

These great supporters are on the Sydney-Shaunberg level or above, and as you could probably guess, they give us a factor quote or a question, sometimes a suggestion or a brag or all sorts of things. They also get to give themselves a title. And I don't read these out, so I read them out. The first one we've got this week is from Derek Brigham, who is the giver of cursed blessings. Oh dear.

Uh-oh. And Derek's asking a question this week. week writing magic is struck suddenly no matter what food you eat it tastes like one thing the same thing every time you must choose what that one thing is what do you pick the texture and temperature stay the same as whatever the original food was you guys having deja vu here for example if you choose burger ice cream would taste like a cold creamy burger if i was stuck or i always ask people to answer their questions if they asked one. And Derek writes,

if I was stuck with this curse, I would pick the Taco Bell cheesy gordita crunch and eat mainly boiled chicken and steamed broccoli. Turn the curse into a blessing by being the healthiest eater in the world. Yeah, I'm getting deja vu.

Yeah, I'm getting full deja vu. Have we had this exact? I remember the cheesy gordita crunch even. Yeah. And turning the curse into a blessing. Yeah, have I? Yes. No, I think Derek has submitted

to someone twice about a month apart. Derek. Derek, he's desperate for an answer. Are you trapped in a curse as well, Derek? Wow. If you're trapped in a curse and you can only ask a podcast to one question, what question would you ask each month? I don't remember what I said, though. I probably said bread or something.

You might everyone taste like bread. Oh, that's clever. Really? I love bread. Oh, gosh, what did I say? Chocolate? Chocolate, yeah. I think I'd get over chocolate.

It's your choice. You can have whatever one. But I'd get over chocolate. But I feel like I'd get over anything. Yeah, that's true. I'm going to say, I'm just going to steal Derek's answer there. Yeah, I think there's something smart in that because you know what? Cheezing or Dita crunch.

I don't even know what it is. Oh, it's good stuff. Great. Yeah, I would make it something like something really delicious. But then I would just eat anything and everything. Because I don't, yeah, I have restrictions in what I eat. There's a lot of things I don't like. Right.

So then I'd become, I would relieve my own anxiety around food because sometimes I'm like, oh no, I don't like any of this food. I'd just be able to eat anything. Yes. But it would taste like something delicious. That's good. That's good. Yeah, we're going to turn your curse into a blessing.

Thank you very much, Derek, for blessing us with that curse. Thank you. The next one comes from Drew Forsberg, aka Lineal Mediocre Weight Champion. And Drew is offering us a suggestion. which is frozen custard. No, I don't know what that is in relation to. It's a suggestion. That's all it says.

That's the complete suggestion. That's fantastic. Frozen custard. I love custard. And do you reckon frozen would be like an ice cream kind of consistency? That does sound good. It sounds like a creamy. Yeah.

I'm imagining this relates to something we talked about in the past. And yeah, if that's a real thing, Drew, I'm on board. I want to try. I've got a little definition here. Okay, hit us. Rosen custard is a cold dessert, similar to ice cream, but made with eggs. Sorry, Jess. In addition to cream and sugar, it's usually kept at a warmer temperature compared to ice cream.

Yeah. And typically has a denser consistency. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I wonder if it's somewhere between like, like moosey, like a thick moose kind of thing. Yeah. I've got, there's one. I'd give that a crack. You get it at Woolies and there's one that says, you can't.

Fake the smooth, creamy richness of our frozen custard made with fresh milk, cream and eggs made in Australia. Okay. So is it like a vanilla kind of flavour? Yeah, well, this is the classic. Interesting. Great. Yeah, I'm taking that as Drew is just saying, hey, here's a suggestion. Give that a crack.

I will. I will. Me too. Dave, let me know when you do. And just get two, please. Do we just get a tub like this afternoon? Let's go get a tub. Bring it back.

Three-way tub. Let's get a tub. Fantastic. You want us with a tub? Hey, you guys up for a tub? Yeah. Tub for the table. One tub, three spoons.

Thank you. A tub for the table. It's like chips for the table. Get a tub for the table. Three spoons. Yeah, we're still browsing the menu. Just get us a tub. To start.

We'll have a tub to start. We'll have a tub. Yeah. A cup. Get us a tub each. Yeah. But still. Gasson.

Three spoons. Three spoons. One spoon. Fantastic suggestion. Thank you, Drew. Three tubs. One spoon. The next one

That's fun stuff there Dave The next one comes from Gary Jhe from the UK And Gary Jays' title is If you don't know me by now You will never, never, never know me And Gary's also offering a suggestion Writing Ahoy Hoy Hoy I'm writing this The Day After the Live book cheat episode in London

Great to meet you Gary Or see you again Gary Jai and hang out Have a drink Great crew there please Continue. I just wanted to say I bloody loved it. Nat, my wife, couldn't make it so I was going on my own. But I met up with what I thought was a few other patrons at the pub pre-show.

It ended up being loads. I was so nervous before walking in, but everyone there was so nice and lovely to each other, even though most of us had never met before. Sorry for rambling on. I just wanted to suggest people join this Facebook group as patrons and be part of the nicest corner of the internet. That's really nice. It was lovely seeing pictures that day of everybody meeting up. That was so nice to see.

Because by the time, so what they did is they met before the show for a drink and a meal at a pub across the road. Then they saw the show hung around it. Then afterwards went to the bar upstairs where I met them all. And by that time, it did not feel like a group of people that did know each other. That's fantastic. It was like walking into like a coach tour or something.

They all knew each other. And yeah, it was awesome. It was so nice. Really nice. Gary Jay, by saying, ta-ta-ta for now. Ta-ta-ta-car for now. I'm under what.

And the final one comes, that is what that's from, right? Tata for now. That's the succulent Chinese meal. He says, ta-ta-ta and farewell. Tata. That is the second time that has come up for me today. The succulent Chinese meal beginning. Only the two times.

It comes up for me half a dozen every morning. By this time of the day, at least a half-dee. What was the... I don't remember exactly. I was walking to get some lunch with my colleagues. And my good friend, Mike. You can name us. Matt and Dave. And then my other friend, Michael Hing, was there.

And he made a reference to, but I don't remember exactly which line he said now. I was wondering who that was that was tagging along with us. Yeah, sorry about him. I can't remember. Did we have a succulent Chinese meal for lunch? No. I feel Tata for now. It was that TIGA, TTFM.

It was... From Poubert. Ah, Pubeer. It was, I see, you know your judo well. Oh, fantastic. And then I just said, ah, yes. There was a tweet very recently that we got tagged in, like, because that video went viral again. If you don't know it, look it up, type in Sucking the Chinese meal on YouTube.

And you're welcome. Enjoy the next three minutes of your life. And someone tweeted it saying, oh, I need my favorite Ozies or something to comment on this. Have you ever seen this? And we were like, yes, we reference it most weeks. And they were like, oh, what episode? And I said about three dozen of it. Because at first I was like, oh, that's funny.

They're going, oh, I thought it was a joke. It probably normally only comes up in everyone's favorite section of the show, though. True. Some people might not. Oh, right. There's a small percentage of people who don't listen to this bit of the show. Crazy. Yeah.

And the last one this week comes from Jacob Curry, aka the most major dick bong. The most major dick bong? Yeah. Okay. And Jacob. is asking a question. The question is, you have to compete in one Olympic sport. The better you do, the more money goes to charities of your choice.

Who cares? Up to $2 billion in Australian D's. That's dollars. Okay. That's for gold. What are you competing in? See, this is hard. I had a conversation recently on my recent holiday.

We were talking about, you could be on any Olympic sport. You're going to the Olympics. What sport? you play. And so we were going for like things that we think would be fun. Okay. But in this case, if you're doing it to earn the most amount of money for charity, then you probably want to choose something you're good at. Yes.

Right? But I ain't good at anything. But I would say, my strategy, I don't know if the thing that I'm best at would be the thing that I'm best at relative to the best in the world. Totally. That's what I'm thinking as well. So I think my best option, maybe all of our best option, is going for a sport that you can fluke on your day.

Shooting. Something like shooting, you know, anyone can pull a trigger. Yeah. Shoot me you got a trigger finger. And if it did, she even better. Yeah. And then... I don't think you get to just get a semi-automatic, like, eh, eh.

Yeah, because the thing is, maybe fluk at once, but I think it's like, you know, you've got to shoot multiple targets. Yeah, that's right. So you are unlikely to fluke, what, 20 in a row or so. But still a better chance of that than running 100 metres fast. Yeah, what else is there? What about like a team sport where I know... Oh, you're letting him down.

sitting on the bench. You're on the bench or even if you're on for a little bit for like European handball or something. I just never get the ball. That's a good point. What's a big team sort of like hockey maybe? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Volleyball. Like rugby would all die. I mean, I would have said basketball anyway. But again, I'm not, I'm nowhere near the Olympic standards. But you're a good depth on the bench. You could come in and shoot a couple of big threes. Yeah, yeah. And then I just walk off.

As the clock's ticking down at the end of each quarter, they send you on for a hail Mary. Yeah, as long as none of the opposition defend me because they'd be two foot taller than me. You'd shoot it into their face. Yeah, every time. I can't get it over them. I think that would be my best option. I mean, you know, I'm fine at basketball. Okay.

I'm going to say judo. Oh, yeah. Okay. I see you know your judo. I reckon that I could fluk it and just like. pin like an 800 kilo man. Oh no, I've got my answer now. Speed skating.

I'm on Winter Olympics. I'm going to go for the Bradbury method. Fantastic. Hang at the back. Play for luck. Hang at the back. Three laps behind everyone else. Yeah.

And I just, yeah. The trouble would be that I have to not fall over before the end myself, even with no one bumping into me. I guess a good call with winter like maybe luge. Yeah, something is just falling down a hill. But also, I guess there's another layer of questions I want to ask, which is like, do we have time to prepare? Oh, yeah.

You know, like if I could go into a year-long, you're right. You know, full-time training. Because, like, for example, my answer originally was going to be the European handball, but I've realized, I don't even know the rules. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Do you have time to learn? I think I've got an even better one.

One of those horse ones. The horse does all the work. You're just sitting on. You get the best horse in the world. You can win gold probably. You're right. Yeah. You just have to

I mean I can sit on a horse Yeah, okay, great And say And I assume that's all it is Yeah If the horses Trained well enough Yeah, all right

It'll just know Did you just Google Easiest Olympic sports? I absolutely have And these are the top 10 Indoor Volleyball Okay Do you have to wear

the tiny bikini And the indoor volleyball Or do they get to wear shorts Isn't that a loud short That's fun I think they might have I think they might have finally changed that rule as well

about the beach one as well, have they? Because there was a big protest about it. It was, because it's silly. What else is there? Number one is Alpine skiing. In what fucking universe is that the easiest? Have it been skiing? Is that cross-country skiing?

What's Alpine? Isn't it all skiing alpine skiing? Oh, that's a good point. Curling! Oh, yeah. Do they do lawn bowls? Oh, is that Commonwealth? That's another one you could probably fluke a few good shots.

Yeah. If you're in the teams... I get a few pots. I get the feeling who I wrote this article is a good skier because they've also included ski jumping. Yeah, that's... No, I'd break everybody in my body before I made it to the ramp. You die.

Very hard to fluk a good triple deak or whatever. Yeah. They've said table tennis, but no, those people, they're freaks. Not the way they play. I wouldn't even see the fucking blue. He'll be like, wait, have we started yet? Like, yeah, you've lost. I guess the lesson here is that none of the Olympic sports are easy.

Yeah. That's surprising. But I mean, show me Olympians who could host a podcast. You know what I mean? Like we all have things to contribute. Yeah, that's true. Very difficult.

Looks easy. Like in the Olympics, podcasting looks easy. Well, anything done well looks easy. Yeah, that's the, that's the,

that's the trick. That's why people think driving is easy because I do it so well. But can you do it with the best? Yeah. The other thing about the horse riding is like really old people do it.

So that's probably my best chance there too. Yeah, yeah. Right. Great. Get a bit of long. longevity as well. Yes. All right.

That was a good question. Thank you to Jacob, Gary, Drew and Derek for their facts, quotes and questions and suggestions. And the next thing we like to do is thank a few more of our great support. Just when it comes up with a bit of a game based on the topic. Yes. Do you have some thoughts here, Matrix-related? Oh, cool. All I could think of earlier, so I'm open to suggestions.

And I know this is usually my thing, but I have been struggling with it lately. The only thing I could think of was what colour pill they'd take. Oh, it's just the same thing. But like it could be any colour. And what does it do? So blue makes you forget? No, it can be like... Red makes...

But that's what I mean, what the colour. So one, red makes you... I forget which one's which. Red opens up your mind. Blue makes you forget. That's right, because I see the wrong one. And then we've got nine other colours and what do they do when you take it. Yeah, great.

All right. If I can kick us off, I'd love to thank from Bournemouth. in Great Britain. It's Daisy Mowles. Daisy Mowles has taken the purple pill. Oh, what does the purple pill do, Dave? It makes you join D12, the M&M rap group, famous for their early 2000 song, Purple Pills.

I wonder if that's... Much like the Olympic event where you're just on the bench, I could stand at the back of D12. That's a good question. If you had to join one super rap group, which one would it be? I'll just do a bit of hyping every now. then. Yeah, for sure.

That's a good one. Purple Peel for Daisy. I'd also love to thank from Leighton Buzzard in Great Britain. It is Mautes Walesiac. Great name, great location. Layton Buzzard. Never heard of that, but I love it. No.

Mattes yellow. Yellow pill. And it makes for like a limited time. It makes your piss. Okay. gold. Whoa. And what color is your piss normally?

Yeah, hang on soon. As in like gold color or? Like, no, like as in, okay, so you, it comes out in liquid form still. It's not painful. Okay. It comes out, but then you need to like piss into, basically you got to save your piss. Right. You're like the goose who pissed the golden piss.

Right. And so you're pissed then after like a couple of minutes. It's solid gold. Right. But when it comes out. So you can piss into a mold and make a little like, a little gold figurine or something. Or just like piss into some Tupperware.

So you're pissing liquid gold and it's going to... I just thought you were saying the colour of your piss would be gold. Well, I mean, it will be. Yes, well, yes. But it turns into like actual gold and so then you could sell that. That's the first time you discover that you've got that affliction. You go to the doctors, aren't you? Well, you're ruining a toilet, aren't you?

Because it gets solid in the bowl. Oh, yeah, you're ruining a toll by making it. Oh, you're increasing its value. Okay. Also. You've now got the most expensive toilet in the world. You're welcome. Okay.

I'm sorry, you wouldn't want to piss on a gold toilet? Yes. Well, just remember, you can always piss in my toilet. Dave doesn't deserve your piss. How do you think you got your golden tonsils? Well, my, someone pissed down my throat? Also, I'm thinking about how liquid piss. Not someone, but in particular it was,

Mateoge. Mateoge. That's a fantastic name. It's just a different version of Mathieu. you. Yeah, that makes sense. Got a, so liquid, piss gold. But it's not forever.

It's not like you're going to have to be like holding on, like, every time you need to go to the bathroom, you're like, okay, great, what am I going to piss into this time to make it into gold? Like, it's, you know, it's a few weeks or whatever, or maybe a month. And that way you've got some time to really set yourself up for life with your gold piss. Fantastic. And it's not molten.

It's not burning you to get it out. No, I don't know. It's just a comfortable. It feels like a normal stream of urine. This isn't one of those blessing curses, Dave. This is just a blessing. Just a blessing. Okay, thank goodness for that.

And also imagine, you know, like, you know, I'm, I'm busting out of the toilet, but I'm on a busy train. You normally can't piss because you get your piss everywhere. But now people would be like, please piss. Please piss in my hands. Piss into my hands. Piss in my bag. See, you know?

They'd like pour out their coffee cup. I'd piss into this. You can piss wherever you like. Yeah. Finally from me, I'd love to thank from Merriam in Kansas in the United States. Jen Agina or Jen Agina. What colour pill, Matt? I reckon lime green.

Oh, yeah, beautiful. A lime green pill. And the lime green pill lets you fly for half an hour. Wow, okay. Take the red pill and you'll know the truth about the rabbit hole. Take the blue pill. You won't know what's going. Take this green pill.

You can fly for a bit. Just for a bit. I'm picking a green pill. It's not even far enough that you could get far. Or but you can fly real fast. Okay. How fast are we talking? Around the world and back.

In half an hour? Yeah. So I could like pop to London. It would take me like a couple of minutes. Yeah. Exactly. Wow. Exactly.

Okay. And how much like can you buy these pills? No, you got to see Morpheus. Yeah. You've got to. But could he give you a couple so you could have like a return. I could like go to London and spend some time around Europe and then come back? Really will depend.

on Morphus's mood. Because the airfares are the most expensive bit. So if I could just have, if you could get them in pairs, that'd be good. Oh yeah. Oh, then what if I want to take a friend? Can I get four pills?

Well, how about you split them? You know, half? You just say, because it's not... Yeah, you're right. Half now and you're 15 minutes to get there easy. Yeah, great. Yeah.

I'm just thinking about the fatal floor and Morphi's plan. If I was Neo in the movie, he'd say, which pill do you take? And I'd say, I can't swallow pills. Right. They get stuck. Do you have them in a, do you have them in a juve?

Yeah, do you have a soluble pill? What if I, Dave, what if I took the pill for you and then I pissed it into your mouth? That would be great. Would that help? I imagine Morphys is like, it's the only other way. We can't crush it or make it into a gummy. Because he's fourth, you either have to take one or the other. He won't just let you go.

I'd be like, well, sorry, mate. You're going to have to force it down there. Yeah, sorry, mate. I guess I'm just your sidekick me out. And they wouldn't work as like a suppository? Yeah, I could ask that. Would you shove this up my ass, please, Morpheus? Please. I'm a bit scared to do it myself, but I trust you.

Please. Look at those glasses. I trust you. Can I thank some people? Please do. I would love to thank from Kent in Ohio. Oh God's country. Shannon Burns. Shannon Burns.

It's the orange. pill. Oh, what's the orange pill do? It makes everything taste like grapes. Oh, forever? Which grapes, red or green? Heart green. No one's picking that.

No one's picking that pill. What are you a big grape for you? I love grapes. Yeah. I've just been offered the power of flight. I'm going back to that question before of like everything makes everything taste like one thing. Maybe grapes.

Oh, here we see, I've got my market covers. I love grapes. Yum. You can fly the half. Yeah, enjoy your grapes as you fly for 20. 24 hours to London. True. Yeah, you get 30 minutes of flight or grape forever.

That's better value. Yeah, that's true. That is true. Yum. Yes, the orange pills. Shannon, take it. I love grapes. Oh, have you ever tried like the fairy floss grapes?

No. No, what does that mean? They taste like fairy floss. Oh, have they like cross-bred fairy floss? Yeah, they've done something messed up with them, but I don't care. They're delicious. Finally, science is trying to solve the real problems. Yeah.

Yeah. Grapes don't taste like I want them to. Who else would you like to think? Cotton candy. That's the same thing. I know, but I just, in case Americans are like, well, what? We call it Ferry Foss. It's adorable.

I would also love to thank from Swindon in Great Britain. Oh, wonderful. Oh, lovely. I don't know where Swindon is, but I bet they sound. It sounds like that. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, nice.

Last night I had a turn at Roar. I would love to thank somebody who speaks exactly like that. Lily Morley. Lily Morley. Oh, hello of Lily Morley. From old Swindon Town. Top it's a bag. And I like people don't think we're making fun.

That's a beautiful accent. Gorgeous. You know, and in fact. That's a tribut. You can actually take the turquoise pill And transform your accent Into that very Swindon accent I'm picking that pill

I don't care what else comes up I don't care what else comes up I want to sound that sexy I think it would really Like I think it would really benefit my radio career Welcome back to Triple J Oh people would love that So Morpheus goes

Take the turquoise pill And you'll sound like Lily Morley Lily Morley from Swindead Ow, lovely. Thanks, Lily and sorry. And finally for me, I would love to thank from Milwaukee. Oh, wow.

Alex Spore. Alex Spore, what colour pill mat? The brown pill. Oh, the brown pill. Which is chocolate flavoured for starters. Thank goodness. So it is delicious. But what it does is it means you don't need to wear hats.

anymore. Great, because I look terrible in hats. Right, but you get all the benefits of like the shade of the hat. You get the shade of the hat. Really? Yeah, but you don't have to wear that. You just get sun protection. So you can like, you can like jump off a yacht into the ocean, not worrying about your hat falling off. And yeah, because hats, I love them. I look dumb in them. It also, I mean, that's not the only reason people wear hats. Or is your hair like not as affected by the elements like. Oh, yeah, right.

that. Give me that fucking pill. You want that one? I'll take that over it. What else is good for a hat? It shows that you're always showing your team's support. You don't have to put your hat on, but everyone still knows you go over the saints. You don't have to remember to take it off when you go to a place that's a bit sacred.

That's true. Yeah. Everyone's like, oh, sorry if offended you. I forgot to take my hat off. Don't worry about it. Never had one on. If you're having a meal with an old person, they're like, no, hats at the table. And in the reverse, isn't there something where you have to wear a hat in some, like in some time? Like if you're in guns and roses.

You don't want... Gotta put a hat on. Because God can't see the top of your head or something like that. Give him that. That was funny. You're in guns and roses. You got to wear a hat. That's good stuff.

But they don't need to anymore. Slash can finally... Let those locks flow. Yeah. No one knows what it looks like under there. Wow. The edge. It's a game changer for the edge.

Wow. Incredible stuff. Take the brown pill. Do you want to thank some people. Do you that? I'd like to thank you so much from York now. From York. We've got Becky Harrison, York in the UK.

I remember at our lead show, people say York, posh. But we also have those gentlemen and Vikings, remember? Oh, yes, were they from York? They were huge gentlemen Viking men. They were delightful. There's a big Viking museum there, I believe. Yeah. Or am I thinking of Bath?

No, it's York. Bath is where the baths were. Do you remember that? Do you remember when we went to the bath? And there was the Bill Bryson gave us the tour? And you drove up a one-way street? Oh, no, I drove through a pedestrian mall. that was set up for the Christmas Nativity.

I'm like, oh, there's Jesus. Jesus, Jesus. Yeah. Gotta get off this road. Dave got confused. He heard it was called a mall, so he mauled a crowd of people with his car. That's funny.

And we wish them well. Becky Harrison, York, great stuff. What color's big in York, though? Yoke. Yoke orange. Yoke orange. It's different to yellow and orange. It's yoke orange.

It's yoke orange. Oak orange. So it's sort of halfway between a yellow and an orange, is that right? Oh, Matt, you don't get it. No, I don't get it. And it's different to gold as well. Yeah, and I don't eat eggs, so I get it. All right, let's come up with a different colour then.

No, I like it. I like yoke. But what does it do? Take the yolk pill. It gives you a, like, a protective buffer around you. Oh, yeah, like an egg. Oh, that's good. So no one can hurt you, but no one can get close to you either.

Yeah, which is probably for the best. So there's prize and cons. I can't hurt you. Yeah. And that's more important. You've got an outer shell. Yeah. Don't you ever be vulnerable, Becky?

Well, I don't know if Becky's choosing that one. I still think she's taking the lime, Greed pill and flying to London and back. Which is a pretty short flight from York. Yeah, honestly, I wouldn't bother. It seems like a bit of a waste of that. Tiniest nibble. You could go anywhere in the world and you just go like down the road essentially.

I know in the UK they don't. Oh, they hate to travel. They hate to travel. so maybe that would be convenient for you. But honestly, come to Australia. It's beautiful. It's just very far away. Yeah, pop over.

Pop over. Have a pop. I would next like to thank. From Cam Loops in Canada, it is Tim Livingston. Oh, I presume. I presume. I was also thinking there.

There's so many cows we haven't used, like blue or red. They exist. They're the... They're the... With good reasons. With good reviews. What about pink?

Oh, pink. Pink. So you know that was a different color. Like that, very good. Pink makes you impervious to wedgies. Oh. And how often a wedgies coming up in your day to day? Well, if you've lived life.

If you've lived life looking like this, you've been... Like a nerdling out. Yeah, you've been wedgied. The pink pill, but also, this is great. It's also a self-defense pill. Okay. Because if someone gives you a wedgy, they get a wedgy. Oh.

So you feel like that. nothing and you go harder. It's like there's a mirror in your pants. And they're confused it first. They go, what? He must be wearing some sort of strange underpants. I'll keep pulling and they're, oh, oh, I'm bleeding. Yeah, and they split themselves in half.

Yeah, exactly. And that's why it's pink because they're wearing tidy whitties with the blood mixed in. They're pinky winkies. They're now pinky winkies. Good on you, Tim. Take the pink pill. I implore you. And finally for me, I'd like to think from ground.

Grand Rapids in, I believe, Michigan. Is that right? It is M. M. The last classic color probably we haven't done is black or white. Although some people would say... They're not colors. If you were one of the real cool kids of my problem...

Look a lot of colors. They're shades. They're actually shades. Oh, they're shades. But I'm talking about these are... It's a black and white pill, much like the short-lived chocolate treat. And they're called like zigzags or something. Oh, but so it's not a cereal.

No, no, it was like a packet of chocolates. I don't remember those at all. Sounds delicious, but... What does that do, Dave? What does the black and white pill do? The black and white pill, it gives you access to food from your childhood that no longer exists. Whoa. Country mints.

Anything you want. The original Milo biscuit. It was so good. What a Milo biscuit? It was a Milo biscuit. It was a milo biscuit and it came in like a tray, like a little packet of like, like you know, and you get mini kit cats like in a multi-pacetats. like in a multi-pack and they're in their own little packet.

Do you know what I'm talking about? Kind of. Kind of like that size, like the size of like maybe a credit card. Okay. But then they'd be five in a tray. Yeah, right. Milo biscuit. But then they came out with Milo bars and no one came a shit about the biscuit.

But I can never go back and taste them. Oh, just a point. Unless I have the black and white pill. Yum, yeah. I'd have country mints. They were amazing and delicious. Used to have, they were a road trip staple. Country mints, yeah.

They were a classic. Amazing. Love them. Can't find them anymore. I cannot. I'm trying to Google what that snack was. Someone will tell me. This is much like a few weeks ago when I couldn't remember the phrase turnkey property.

I'm still not sure that's what I was thinking of. Right. Didn't scratch the itch for you. No. I reckon there's a good 20 or 30 people who've gotten contact with me to let me know. Oh, I'm sure they're right. Have we got through everyone there? That is everyone there.

Thank you. That was M. Thank you, M, Tim. Becky, Alex, Lily, Shannon, Jen. Matus and Daisy. The last thing we like to do is welcome some people into the Triptitch Club.
