Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to at this moment. We are now recording this podcast in Athens, Greece. Sorry if the audio isn't as good as normal, but we didn't bring the equipment. What are we talking about on today's show, Gilly? Well, we actually on today's show discuss huge personal news for me, but also, I call it both personal and international views in your family. Yes.
Starting point is 00:00:26 You're the top story in military news. All right, we are holding the Australian government to task. Let's go. Let's go. Now, we should also do some plugs to where we're headed. Oh, okay. So we should go through that. Hey, well, I'd like to happen.
Starting point is 00:00:45 I saw the people in Britain who were listening to the show. The London gigs, one of them sold out. The other one still has tickets. Come and see me at the Hammersmith, Apollo. It's always one of my favorite gigs to do in the entire world, the Hammersmith Apollo. I recorded a special. It's one of my favorite venues on it.
Starting point is 00:00:59 For the rest of the gigs around the UK, some of them are sold out, some of them have extra added shows. Go to jim jeffries.com and also we're across Europe. If you're in Italy, we're coming up. If you're Cyprus, France, all over the place, Croatia. We're in Zagreb, Milan, Rome, Antwerp, Netherlands. We've got so many of the Netherlands. Oslo, Helsinki, Stockholm, talent. We added four shows in the Netherlands.
Starting point is 00:01:28 I think it's also very important to say this. Yes. Dublin, there is a show coming. We're just picking a time. Oh, yeah, Dublin, there's a show coming for some reason they're not allowed to announce it yet to release the tickets. I don't know why it's frustrating the shit out of me as well. Like, don't get a right air flight to stock open or something like that.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Yeah. But you, there is a gun to be a show. Yeah. I tried to read my agents about it. It's fucking Labor Day in America, so I can't even get it. But, yeah, but Dublin will have a show. There will be a show in Dublin, mark my words. As for me, if anyone is from Charlotte or Greenville, South Carolina, I'll be coming to you.
Starting point is 00:02:05 You can find that information. And Lisbon, I'll be coming back. And maybe some of these cities I go with you, Jim, I'm going to come back and try and pilfer and siphon off some money in my own to pay. Yeah, that's what the answer was here for. If you enjoy Amos and the tour, come back and see him when he comes back into town. But other than that, this is a hotel room podcast with a lot of pleasant reviews. We hope you enjoy it. And we'll be doing more of these from the road.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Hello everybody, welcome to At This Moment. With me, Jim Jeffries, and here's Aylos Gilwood. The moment we're actually in Greece right now, recording. We're in Athens. We're about to do a show. We picked up in a couple of hours to do the show. Jack had packed for me all the audio equipment you would need to do a podcast, and he put it on the table, on the dining room table,
Starting point is 00:02:47 as he left that night when I was going to bed before I went to Europe, and he said, like I was a child. He spoke to me like I was a child. He said he'll definitely. I have it in there. I told him forcefully. Yeah, and he said, make sure you put... I said, I'll know how to put it in back? And he goes, why don't you put it in right now?
Starting point is 00:03:03 And I said, I don't need to put it in. I'll walk past the coffee table in the morning. I'll put it there. And I didn't... I didn't... I forgot all their equipment. I forgot all the equipment. This is just...
Starting point is 00:03:14 This is just what Amos troubles around with. This is what... In case that our crowd work gig here. And normally this microphone cuts out all the time. We've already done Lisbon. We have done Barcelona. We are about to do Athens tonight, and then we're up to Cyprus and so forth and so on. If you could cut a hole in this wall right here, you'd see the Acropolis.
Starting point is 00:03:39 We're in a lovely little hotel, and it is odd there. Lovely little, how you got the intercontinent. The intercompetent. The end of this sweet little boutique. I feel like Lord Byron here on my travels, and I've been setting up the tripod to try and get this shot ready, and I had a maid come in here and look at me, setting up this tripod onto the bed and she didn't think we were a couple of traveling poofs who were about to make.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Well, the idea that I was just going to be on the couch and you were going to fill me, it looked like casting couch the point. If you know, you know. If you know, you know. Great condition. So are you a guy that's comfortable with anal or? I am a virgin with vagina, but not with anus. Oh, great.
Starting point is 00:04:20 And how much is your age? I am 18, but I have been that for four years. oh wow his friend anyway so we've had a lot if I shouldn't have started like this but we've had it at this moment
Starting point is 00:04:33 the biggest news story happening at the moment in my life is my nephew no no no we're not following a casting couch bit and then a reference
Starting point is 00:04:43 to you getting ridden on the ass here with a sad story about your nephew no no this is this is this is well go hold on ready
Starting point is 00:04:51 gear change this is Well, it is sad, but it's also things are happening. I'm very happy. So if you're in Australia right now, you'll know that all over the media in Australia, they are talking about my nephew and the inquiry that went in and how the Liberal and the Labor government voted against the public being able to find the hearings of the inquiry.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I don't know if we've spoken about this on the podcast before, but I'll do a brief show, I'll brief summation. So if you haven't played along with this story with Jim, his nephew, Max Nugent, died testing aircraft in war games? Well, not testing an aircraft, but an aircraft that was completely tested. They were doing war games up in the Wits Sundays in July, two years ago. They were in formation. It was raining very heavily that day. They had these helmets on called the Night Owel helmets.
Starting point is 00:05:51 The night owl helmets, you read everything from there. It was heavily raining. Other countries didn't fly out that day. They didn't want to actually go out. The pilots and the crew were overtied for workplace restrictions on what they should have been and should not have been doing.
Starting point is 00:06:13 There was an inquiry that went on for two years and then they... Well, this took up most of your family's life from what I understand. All of my brother's life. All of my brother and my sister-in-law is life. that's yes it took up all their life they had to go see the inquiry up in Queensland
Starting point is 00:06:29 and then in Canberra in different places and go back and forth and lose all their holiday pay and you know of course they did it willingly they wanted to do this this is their son they wanted to find out what the hearings are and then the government left them with five days to make it appeal or to make a case and two of those days were the weekend
Starting point is 00:06:49 they dragged it out drag it out dragged it out and then they buried it and Then they What happened was When you say buried it So they not only did they bury the story What they buried the actual Helicopters
Starting point is 00:07:01 Listen I wasn't the best lawyer And I worked in criminal defence If I had the government come to me And I was their lawyer And I said So what happened to the helicopters that had crashed And they said We buried them in the desert
Starting point is 00:07:14 Just so that no one Were they completely broken All of them? No all of them were Just buried And the Ukrainian military wanted them for free and we said Best you just don't know where they are, we're just going to
Starting point is 00:07:27 put them out. Yeah, they could have given them to the Ukrainians or whatever. They just got rid of them the next day. These... Doesn't look good. These helicopters were meant to have 20 more years on them. There was meant to be two more decades of usage out of these helicopters and now where they're placing them with Blackhawks. And
Starting point is 00:07:43 this isn't the US military where things just fall off a boat. No. Like, we don't have that much budget. No, no. This is... Australia's spent a lot of billions. Yeah. Billions. So what happened is I went on Theo Vaughan's podcast which is one of the biggest podcasts in the world
Starting point is 00:08:01 I spoke very openly about what I thought has happened and that I thought I believe it to be a conspiracy theory that the government was covering it up a politician then reached out to my brother they took it to a vote whether the Australian public should be able to hear the hearings yes yes right is
Starting point is 00:08:24 full exposure of the information yeah just just whether they're straight like this isn't whether we have aliens at Area 51 just what do you know about what happened on this day now there has been Ian Wilson who was a test pilot
Starting point is 00:08:38 who tested the night owls previously to what happened in this accident had said that it would end an industrial manslaughter that when there is heavy rain the night owl vision can invert
Starting point is 00:08:51 my nephew before the accident happened and spoken and how he'd concerned he was about these helmets. Yes, right? We've had a very popular radio personality and sports commentary, Ray Hadley
Starting point is 00:09:07 has come out. He is actually a friend of my brother's family. He knew Max. I've only ever met him at the funeral. Really nice man. And he's gone out of his way to keep it in the media as well. And I like to thank Ray Hadley as well. Because this would have all just gone away, if not for me
Starting point is 00:09:24 going on the Theobo podcast, and people like Ray Hadley, now it has been picked up by the ABC, Channel 7, Channel 9, channel 10, every newspaper. This isn't just like some right or left wing conspiracy theory that is going on. This is, the ABC
Starting point is 00:09:39 are talking about this. I loved it that, watching Ray Hadley be like, now, there has been a military disaster and it would seem to be a cover-up, and the committee of Jeffries was he was over there with CEO von and you'd be thinking
Starting point is 00:09:55 to yourself and you'd be saying what the bloody hell is this bloke, this clown, this comedian but to know with a industrial manslaughter claim with the Australian military he'd be right to say that the thing is, it's his nephew. Turns out it says it'd be
Starting point is 00:10:07 blubber, beloved nephew, Max did he's got a lovely rhythm to his voice. That you're holding to account at this point and it's very sad to know that if you don't have a famous uncle who's able to go on the modern day Parkinson and Theo Bond
Starting point is 00:10:22 this would just be left to the wayside but now there's some momentum if not for me going on this podcast it never would have been taken to a vote and now those helicopters like that was like chucking a brain with only one man now I'm going to reach out to Theo directly actually thank him for
Starting point is 00:10:36 letting me talk about it you know what I mean because you know without this podcast that this sort of would have happened so it goes to a vote so for the Americans listening we have two major parties in Australia Labor and
Starting point is 00:10:51 Liberal, to put it in simpleton, a simple language, Labor would be your Democrats and liberal would be your Republicans in very broad strokes, you know what I mean? But if the Liberal Party ran in America, they would probably be your left. The Liberal
Starting point is 00:11:06 Party would be the green environmental party. Yeah, like so our right wing party believes in abortion and free health care and, you know, gun control. I'm a far right Australian and a Karl Marx in the I'm a mildly right Australian and a lefty fucking cack shill in America.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Well, this is obviously, if you are Australian, keep pressing for this story because at a time where Australia wants your brothers, sisters, cousins, whatever, to join the military for, you know, I see the ads been pushed everywhere. Not a great time for the Australian military to show you what they will do to families. who are affected by their fuck-ups, that they would bury something like this. So what happened was it went to a vote whether the Australian public should know.
Starting point is 00:11:57 So both major parties voted against the Australian public being able to know. Well, there's a shock that the dual party system isn't always representing the interest in the people. They would have called each other. It's not like they came to this opinion independently. They said it's bad for both of us. Of course.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Right? If this information, let's say, let's just, okay, let's just say, let's just say, let's just say that it's completely pilot error and that the government did nothing wrong there was no workplace error going on the night owl helmets work they don't invert during rain what Ian Wilson said would end an industrial manslaughter
Starting point is 00:12:34 long before this accident happened let's say that everything was kosher right everything was good then give it to the Australian public it looks worse you've got something to hide right now so the liberal and the Labor government voted no to releasing it. Some people did not vote, which they abstain from going,
Starting point is 00:12:55 which is weird because in Australia, the general public, have to vote. We have to vote whether we like to or not, we get fine. Then one nation, now one nation, people... Do you know what abstaining to vote is? Right. It's the equivalent when you're all mates in the wrong. Yeah. And they go, he fucked up, didn't there?
Starting point is 00:13:12 And you just go, oh. We've done that for each other. Your friends clearly in the wrong And you just like this I'm not getting in law Yeah Listen It's not for me
Starting point is 00:13:25 Yeah yeah yeah yeah I don't want to I'm not gonna dog the board I don't want to By the way The last Australian military story That was this big Was about Ben Robert Smith
Starting point is 00:13:33 Yeah The recipient of the Victorian cross And his war crimes He committed overseas And do you know what he did With his hard drives Why He buried
Starting point is 00:13:41 Bury him in the desert It could be It might be operating proceeds of the Australian military. Oh, half of Australia. You go, I'll put it in the hole. Time a capsule. Set it on fire.
Starting point is 00:13:53 So the One Nation, which is the far right wing party in Australia, one nation, they vote for, and they were actually the ones who brought it into
Starting point is 00:14:06 Parliament, so you get a fan over here. I thought I'd never say that. And the Greens, it's... And the Greens voted for the information to get. So the extreme left, and the extreme right in Australian
Starting point is 00:14:18 politics both agreed that this information should be given to the Australian public and the two major parties all voted against it. How these politicians can fucking sleep at night and then do all that bullshit on fucking Anzac Day where they stand up and go
Starting point is 00:14:34 Australian soldiers will never be forgotten. Well, you went to forget them. That's what you did. You went, forget those people. Yeah. And push it at it. It shouldn't be up to a two-big comedian who swears a lot to push this into the light.
Starting point is 00:14:50 That's important. That's true. You are right about the Anzac Day thing. Because to watch them talk about their respective veterans and every country does this. Yes, but Australia does it. Until coming to look after them. Yeah. That's where I wouldn't be surprised at the next time. You know what?
Starting point is 00:15:05 The Labor and Liberal Party, maybe the next time they pull the bugle out and they did the last post ceremonially, why don't you bury the bugle in the ground as well? Yeah. Yeah. That's um, that's what what you guys do, isn't it? You pull these things out and you put them underground and then we'll see them
Starting point is 00:15:21 once a year before we play a football game and talking about how much you respect them. But when push comes to shove and you need to pay the families what you owe them because you're fucked up. Well, it's not even about money. It's not even about paying anybody anything. Well, at least the respect of the truth, about paying the truth.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Let's just hear what the findings work and then we'll go from there. And so now you're going to push my family into into organising a civil suit they're going to push us into having a civil suit which we're going to have to spend money and stuff like that to actually just find
Starting point is 00:15:54 the truth you know I don't get anything out of this no advantage for me talking about this you know I I like to spend my life being funny you can now promote your tours I guess of Ray Hadley I didn't see you as a natural
Starting point is 00:16:09 when I met Ray Hadley I met him at the funeral and I knew him from you know, when I was younger he was a commentator and stuff and a sport and stuff in Australia and he came up and he said your son or your nephew was a great
Starting point is 00:16:25 young man and I met him and that was the time I burst into tears I cried again after the funeral this was at the reception where all eating fucking Lamingtons and you know cupcakes and standing around and talking to all these old mates
Starting point is 00:16:39 I was just like you just it didn't even I thought it's very hard to talk about Max it's and it's particularly that one of your brother yeah and it's
Starting point is 00:16:57 I only know for all that to us he's a he's a great bloke Danny and when he gets very upset he's very stoic as well he's more stoic fellow than me yeah and I've watched that break that
Starting point is 00:17:09 that man well the thing that upsets me when I talk to Danny is he's about as he's about his patriotic you know he's a cop does his service to the country and when the country had to do their service for him it wasn't there
Starting point is 00:17:22 and that's uh and when you have a day like March for the Patriots then you go well what how does the government treat its people under under the cost it's not good yeah I
Starting point is 00:17:35 I've spoken at nausea about this if you go to my Instagram page I'll put up, I'm going to put up the clip of Ray Hadley talking on the news right now I've put up all the politicians and the way they have voted, the ones who had voted
Starting point is 00:17:53 yes and the ones who have stained and the ones who had voted no and so if if one of those politicians is your politician and your local seat then you put pressure on them you know what I mean? How did Bob Catter vote
Starting point is 00:18:07 I don't know how Bob Catter because if you know who Bob Catter is He's our politics from the big crazy hat who talks about how gay people should be able to get married, let every blossom bloom but I don't want to waste any time on it because every year
Starting point is 00:18:23 10 people are taking a northern Queensland by a crocodile. He's famous again this week, Jim. You saw that, what I said, you didn't know? Yeah, yeah, favourite. I'll punch in the mouth. I'll punt bloke's in the mouth for less. So I also want to talk about Jackie Lambie, Jackie Lambie, who abstained from the vote,
Starting point is 00:18:39 who was an ex-military person at all, and who she ran her whole independent. I'm glad he voted it. She abstain and she is all about the military and she is yet to release a statement on why she did not vote on whether the information
Starting point is 00:18:54 should get out. I haven't been like that. I haven't got my glasses on so you'll have to I'll pass the photo. I can't see what happened with. But it is it is kind of like darkly funny isn't it that it is a comedian
Starting point is 00:19:07 a radio host and then like Theo von the show the United States out of Nashville is what brought this back into the deep. A comic from America's podcast has made the Australian government actually stand up and be you know
Starting point is 00:19:23 what's culpable is it? Yeah cultable, culpable accountable? accountable. accountable? Accountable? How about this? Why don't we get Kyle Sandelands involved and he can put the Defence Force chief on the light of tech test? Well Kyle Kyle, I went on the radio and Kyle and talked about it And Kyle said he reckons he'll speak to Anthony Arbenesey about it,
Starting point is 00:19:46 but I haven't spoken to Kyle since, so we can chat with him. You know, the problem I have is I, it's very emotional for me to talk about. And so I don't want to be doing this every day. But until there's, until there's some level of justice or, not even justice, just give us the information, give us the information. then we can decide what we're going to do next. But you know what I think's happened? I think the world's about to go to war,
Starting point is 00:20:20 and they feel like if they pay out for a dead soldier, they're going to be fucked moving forward. And if they say they had faulty procedures, and if they say that we set them out at the wrong time, we set them out in weather that they weren't meant to be, conditions they weren't meant to be flying, the night owl helmet inverts during rain, and there already was paperwork that said such a thing,
Starting point is 00:20:46 if they say that if they take blame, it's going to hurt recruitment. My hands down, right? Is there anything not good? And so I'm heard of recruitment right now with this podcast. So, so the Australian government, stand up, take responsibility, do what's right, and then the people will trust you.
Starting point is 00:21:06 But right now, no one fucking believes the word that comes out of your mouth. and now we move on to a fun story what are you got for me is there's body gloom being back and missing my clothes I was desperately on this
Starting point is 00:21:20 Bonnie fuck we need a light at a table break it's fun to know that this segment will appear on Ray Hadley or maybe this ABC News was the microphone
Starting point is 00:21:31 cutting in it out while we're on a sofa I wear on a sofa in Athens yeah look we don't really do this sort of stuff but you know here we go this is what's up to podcasters now
Starting point is 00:21:41 it's no look one's very fucking a comedian has to fucking speak and and I'm really one relative of one soldier who died there was three other men who died on that there's three other men who
Starting point is 00:21:57 they don't have a famous uncle yeah well they can always sign up for kill Tadie to get the message yeah they don't they don't have a Tony I don't have any jokes but I've just got to I'll tell you, Anthony Howpenesey.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Yeah, yeah. You've let this... Oh, no, no, I'll tell you what. A Australian government, don't you dare kill one of Larry Emmer's relatives, you'll be fucked. Okay, I was going to transition into my news, but it's not as serious.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Okay, well, it is serious. Actually, I'd like to congratulate the man tomorrow right, the young man becoming... Young boy, who's become a man this week, because Amos Gil proposed to his girlfriend It was now his fiance She said yes
Starting point is 00:22:46 She said yes And I posted the video of this online There was people who listened to this podcast You said, you're a fucking liar mate You said you weren't going to propose And you were sick of her company And I said that was a bit of poverty Because we'd been on a vacation in each other
Starting point is 00:23:00 But I did propose to it in Lisbon It's like when I got abused for giving up drinking You once said on a special you'd never give up drinking you're a way funnier when you said you hate sluts and you can't be around women and now I find out you're marrying one you're happily married you fucking fuck fuck
Starting point is 00:23:15 so this is what I did by the way when we recorded the last podcast I was in a hotel I remember she was in bed next to me and I was being very I was talking a lot about how it sucks to travel with women and sure because the so this process began
Starting point is 00:23:30 when I six four months ago now when I asked her dad if I can marry And he said And I quote How long would you remain a clown Because he doesn't really believe That I'll financially take care of her
Starting point is 00:23:45 Yeah And then you sprayed him with a flower out of your butt Ah I took my red nose off And I said well I do have a law degree And I can't return to that But the reason I did ask her that
Starting point is 00:24:02 Is my girlfriend pushed me into it Yeah So we're at the family house And she goes, Dad's over there you know, now will be the time. I know we've got a European trip coming up in the books. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:11 So, like, nice bit of scenery to do it. So my thing was, she knows this is coming and I didn't, I was like, there's going to be some surprise. So I made a bit of a mistake at the beginning of this trip where we went to Lagos together, which was, I was like, I'm going to be a massive cunt to her so that she doesn't think it's going to happen here. That was a plot line in fringe. Was it?
Starting point is 00:24:35 Yeah. I've never seen I think this is a thing that people do This is relatable right So Chandler wanted to Get engaged to Monica And then so he started saying Oh I'm never getting married
Starting point is 00:24:49 I don't believe in marriage Marriage is the worst Right to surprise it And then she went off with her ex-boyfriend Because if she doesn't want to marry It's like so backbought on it Yeah well I mean Anyway this is my fun way
Starting point is 00:25:01 I'm sleeping with that again It was that night she was particular she wasn't enough i didn't account for her for four hours so i didn't give her a good fuck at least i know someone who doesn't have herpes right not today not today so what happened was i'd be there and i'd be like god you're annoying oh god you're not getting a ring out of me with this kind of behavior taking this long to get to dinner every time we'd go somewhere i was a little bit and she was like you've been a real asshole this trip she goes you've made clear that you're not I'm going to propose to me, okay?
Starting point is 00:25:34 And I'm fine with it. I'm a little pissed off. That's what I thought we were doing here. So I started to be like, good, we're going to be okay. We've got this. We've ruined the vacation, mission accomplished. We can barely speak to each other at breakfast. Yeah, oh, good, good.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Good, good, good. Romance. Pure romance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would take it to the top of a bluff overlooking the cliffs of Lodosh. And I would go... Do your shoelaces up? Yeah, I would do gags like that.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Imagine if I had a ring. Imagine if I didn't hear. it would have been nice, but it's not going to happen. And it won't because you're bloody, you're annoyed. So then I go, fuck, I'm going to do it in Lisbon. Now, I was going to get her a proper ring, but my friend Sam's father passed away, and here was my jeweller, so I didn't have one.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Oh, well, that must be hard for you. Hard on you. I think that to me. And did you say that to Sam? As I said, why, fuck, Sam. God, Sam, you're fuck, Sam. You're selfish. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:26:32 And now I don't have a jewel. helicopter pilot, I'm missing everything. So I needed to get something. Yeah. So I went on Swaborski. What's Swaborski? You know Swaborski? It's like...
Starting point is 00:26:43 Are the crystals? The crystals? Yeah. And I know she like... I thought it's Swarowski. Probably, I don't know. Swawoski, whatever. I know she lies Swazki.
Starting point is 00:26:52 And so I was like, I'm going to get her a temporary ring. Right. So I got my friend, Andre de Friedas, Portuguese comedian. And I said, you pick up this ring, you leave it for me at the hotel. It's 139 euros. Yeah. I know, Andre. be a good chance that you would have been left with some magic beans with a note that this is
Starting point is 00:27:07 even better. Yeah, he pockets 100 euros. It gets me a $39 piece from the, from a gypsy on the sidewalk. So I got this $139 ring and I was like, I'll get a placeholder and then I'll get her anywhere when I actually get some money in my life. So I get the ring, push it in my pocket. And this is a real weird thing to admit about that my proposal plan was, I'm going to take her on a took-took tour of Lisbon. It's my favorite city. I think it's one of the most beautiful cities in the world. That's a stutter. It's a bang of Lisbon. It is a bit. Go to Lisbon. It's a wonderful place.
Starting point is 00:27:40 They're the best bit. They're like the sweeter Spanish. No offense of the Spanish. They're the, the, uh, the Scotland to England. To England. Yeah. They're the New Zealand to Australia. They're the Canada to America. Just a Portugal. Beautiful fucking place.
Starting point is 00:27:59 And I went, I know where I'm going to propose. It's something called. Maduro, and I forget the place. And the only reason I remember it is when you and I were there together, three years ago, we took a t-took. Yeah, they took-took-tura. They drive you around, and they'd take you up a hill, and they drop you off, and they drop you up places
Starting point is 00:28:15 where you can buy T-shirts and, like, shitty jewellery with, like, a coin in it. That's all the stuff. And I remember thinking, this is a romantic thing. It's a shame I've done it with Jim. Yeah, yeah. But if I was doing this with a woman, this would be a nice trip. So I said, I'll do it the same to it.
Starting point is 00:28:30 You know what was weird, because. That day, I was just landed. I was thinking of going, what are you guys up to? Can I come? I was going to sit the Tuk-Took with you. I was waiting for you to go, what are you doing today?
Starting point is 00:28:42 And me, go, oh, we're just going to do our own thing. And you're like, I pay for everything and I'm not even allowed to hang out. I'll have lunch by myself for that. And so I get down the Tuk-Took. And we'd been arguing all that day because she was taking forever to get ready.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I'm going to hurry up, we're going to miss the fucking. Then I'm thinking to myself, don't pick a dick. you've done enough of that just being a good boot we get on a tuk-took and I organise with the driver on like get your guide.com
Starting point is 00:29:07 I said I'm going to propose to my girlfriend here's the plan at every stop I want you to take a photo of us and when we get to stop number five at this vista you go to take the photo again and I'll get down my knee
Starting point is 00:29:19 and you can film it and that way we have the content because we're not picture people and we would have the phones out yes and so he was like no worries that's all fine brother very excited for this
Starting point is 00:29:29 yes I get there. His name is Russell. He's from Bangladesh. Yeah. So I thought I was going to be getting like some Portuguese guy like Andresh or Jorge. Yeah. And I got an Indian boy, a Bangladeshi guy called Russell.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Called Russell. And Russell got the memo. And so the Tuk-Took Company gave us a Tuk-Took that was just completely draped in flowers. Yeah. Pink Fab was all over the back. Thank you. I love when someone gussies up there, Tuk-Took. He gussied up the Tuk-Too.
Starting point is 00:29:57 We get him. He said, all right, babe, we're excited to get guys. Got the ring in my pocket. As soon as he takes off, he plays Ed Sheeran. I found a love for me. And I'm looking at him like, what are you doing? Yeah. Put him in a chamba-wamba on.
Starting point is 00:30:13 Not now. Okay, we're not into this kind of soppy music. I get knocked down. Then I get up again. Next song he plays, I take you to the candy shop. Let you make the laugh. I'm like, yeah, that's it, brother. Lick my back.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Lick my ass. Lick my pussy at my. crack I just had an ass in the lyrics and somehow I made it worse so we're just listening to hip hop
Starting point is 00:30:36 yeah going around we do the first one second one and now Anika's like this is great this is really beautiful go to the third one keep taking the photos
Starting point is 00:30:44 now we get to the fourth one and it's the second last one and the vista that I want to get to I can see for over there and Russell comes up to me and he goes hey bro that one you want

Starting point is 00:31:55 seeing yeah so he's holding the phone he goes it is oh my god proposal this guy is so romantic everyone look at this love come check it there's so much love here I'm on my neck and Annika's laughing
Starting point is 00:32:09 and I go the Anika's grandfather is 90-something years old and told her Is this still recording? Yeah we're good I was like good Anika's grandfather told her
Starting point is 00:32:20 the week before maybe that's why the microphone cuts out each time it's like bloody fat friend Ollie Annaica's grandfather had nothing to live for like in the German way where he's like,
Starting point is 00:32:30 I have 90, my body deteriorates, I have no much to say, carry on. He was like this, if those Nazi catchers capture me, smell beard. I should have gone to Argentina. And so I said to Anika on my knee, because I can't be sincere.
Starting point is 00:32:49 It's a big problem for me. I get on my knee and I go, Anika, will you give your grandfather a reason to stay alive? I didn't know this I didn't know this you just say I said to my wife
Starting point is 00:33:05 I said I love you with all my heart will you marry me I don't think I said the love word I said let's stop your grandpa from committing suicide and give him something to live for should we put something on his books for next year
Starting point is 00:33:20 and then she goes what because she couldn't hear me because my Bangladesh she took-took-tub driver was doing this. Say yes! Say yes!
Starting point is 00:33:32 Please! Say yes! And I had to go, Russell, we can't think. Stupid. Russell! Will you marry me? And she goes, yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:33:44 We do a quick kiss. And he goes, oh my God! This is so beautiful. Right. What was the song he got? I saw... We should put the footage up.

Starting point is 00:34:09 What's somebody did you get then? What was the next one? It went back to the first one he started with Yeah A founder girl And was she all lined up And looking at the ring Or was she just still laughing
Starting point is 00:34:21 Because I know Anna-Coh I feel like she would have found The whole thing very funny She said to me I'm so happy you did it here because there was no like there was 12 people and the last stop
Starting point is 00:34:31 was 500 people and African guys selling bracelets when I proposed to Taze it was the middle of COVID and I said to it because you know we can just do it around the valley
Starting point is 00:34:46 you know just around LA right and so I was like and we're gonna so I Airbnb I Airbnb a house in in Newport which strangely my manager lived really close to
Starting point is 00:35:00 because he came over afterwards and bought Champaign right and so I thought this is the nearest beach I need a sunset it's all about sunsets right did you know was it sunset
Starting point is 00:35:11 I missed it by an hour bloody fucking Russell I thought it's waited to the next stock where I planned so so the side of the setting it's like that
Starting point is 00:35:18 and I said let's go for a walk and we went for a walk along the beach and I had the ring in my pocket and I remember my hands were shaking I kept my hands in my pockets I wasn't even holding her head I was walking along like I was gonna break up with her
Starting point is 00:35:30 right and I was fucking shit you shit yourself and you know what they're gonna say yes like my wife had already told me the shape of ring she wanted yeah right I'd already spoken to her friend and shown her the ring
Starting point is 00:35:43 like like yeah you know they're gonna say yes is it still recording yeah still recording yeah sorry if anyone doesn't know Newport Newport is like Orange County it's a little bit more
Starting point is 00:35:54 say right wing than LA is it's it's an hour drive out of LA very nice but you know you might have seen the real housewife or the OC yeah the OC yeah the OC right so it's not like I'm on a beach in Fiji doing this
Starting point is 00:36:10 I'm fucking in like like like there's there's a bike track with a bloke riding by in an American vest with a boom box on the back just like a plain kid rock you know what I mean like it's this is where we're at Don't shop. Yeah, donut shop and, you know, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:27 So I'm like, I've got to do it. The sun was sitting in perfect seat. So I just dropped to an eat. I thought, I'm all isolated here. I didn't look behind me because behind me was about 16 teenagers drinking a slab of beer on the beach. Like, you know, when you're kids, and you just get a slab of beer and you go to the park
Starting point is 00:36:44 and you just go for it? Yeah. And they're just like, oh, dude! Dude, yeah, man. Dude, you're getting away to them. Oh, that's brilliant. Congratulations! You got
Starting point is 00:36:57 you got little surf crobbets. Yeah, I had surf grubberts getting leathered in the afternoon during COVID. And by the way, who weren't following COVID fucking quarantine, like the six-speak rule at all?
Starting point is 00:37:11 Now I've been wearing masks. Oh, there he is, yeah, it looks. So I've got a photo with it. You won't be able to see this. We'll put it up. This is the band Russell. Yeah. We ended up taking,
Starting point is 00:37:19 our only engagement photo we took in the spot was with the Tuk-Took drummer. Yeah. We got a bit, but we went, Russell, you're a big part of this. You'll remember Russell your whole life. Our whole life will remember Russell. In fact, it was sick because the next day we went walking around the marketplace. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:33 If we saw Russell again. Yeah. And like, he was just on to the next people. We met nothing to Russell. We were like, Russell! It is just like, oh, hey, I don't think he's like, got to remember. Oh, he didn't have the next. He had enough tours going on.
Starting point is 00:37:46 My, I don't know. I think I've told this story before because my mother told me the story of how my father proposed to my mother. Yeah. They're at the front of the Vatican, so they've just left the Vatican, they've just watched, they've seen Michelangelo's, you know, Sistine Chapel, right? They've seen, they've seen great art, right? And then they sat out in the, they were sitting in the gutter at the front,
Starting point is 00:38:09 counting how many dollars they had to buy something or whatever, you know, they're poor, right? And my dad went, you know, we've been traveling around a bit together, haven't we? So we could keep doing things like. this and just be married it was along the lines of that there was not a good thing yeah we we just should keep hanging out together I found the thing
Starting point is 00:38:33 right ready yeah oh no it's it's got a pleasure but I just I'll just I'll just say so my my father doesn't remember the proposal he doesn't remember proposing and my mother goes
Starting point is 00:38:47 in the gutter we were sitting we were both seated in the gutter out the front of the Sistine Chapel and my dad went Sistine Chapel He goes, the Vatican
Starting point is 00:38:59 Gary, the Vatican The Vatican And he goes It had that restaurant over the road That sold the thin pizzas That's how he remembers it He's just seen Papal Pizza
Starting point is 00:39:13 Michelangelo's masterpieces And he remembers The thick, the thin Neapolitan pizzas The tomatoes Had so much bloody flavor Yeah That's how it
Starting point is 00:39:23 can't remember his proposal, remembers the pizza restaurant over the road from the Vatican. Well, I will remember my Lisbon one. I'll remember. We had a good time after that. We had the shows in Lisbon, which were good. We called everyone in the family,
Starting point is 00:39:37 and they were all saying this, Jim. And this is where as a fiancé, there's a lot of shame that comes in, particularly because my girlfriend's from a wealthier family. Sure. Everyone's like this. We're so happy for you guys. You've been together so long.
Starting point is 00:39:49 We didn't think it was going to happen. Some people, like, Anton goes to me, if we thought maybe you couldn't like her anymore. You know, three years, you're getting old. We're so happy. And then it begins from the female cousins. The ring. The ring.
Starting point is 00:40:02 We've got to see the ring. And I'm like this on the face time. Don't worry about it. How are you replacing the ring? The ring, as I said, it's 139 euros. Yeah, but that's only because you had to pay a hundred times for the claw to come and get us. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:40:18 These things happen. If you got it the first time, you could have got it for a bargain. People want to see the ring Of course And so Anika's like And now Anika goes in this It's just a placeholder ring Anika's dad
Starting point is 00:40:30 Guys like this Who gives a shit Just gives that one That one is the one With the only emotion A rig is a ring 139 20,000
Starting point is 00:40:41 5,000 This is the most special I think you just Don't fucking replace it And you use the money On an apartment Or you have a nice vacation rings are stupid.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Yeah, true that. I've never loved a man more. True that? Because I'm on the phone call like this. Yeah, I agree. I said I'd get her a new one. But then it's like, does it mean anything? Because why don't you want the one that I got down on the knee?
Starting point is 00:41:05 My wife's ring, look, I got money. My wife's ring isn't a cheap ring. And it's from Tiffany's, and it's a nice ring. And I told us that, I could have gone a bit bigger. But each time you spend an extra 10 grand, the ring was, to the naked eye. wasn't that much bigger, right? And if you want to go from Tiffany's or Cardi
Starting point is 00:41:25 or so, if I spent the money I spent on Tiffany's at some, my wife's big thing, not a blood diamond, not a blood diamond, not a blood diamond, right? So if I went down to the diamond district or something like that, I could have gotten her a monster. But I remember people, look, this was
Starting point is 00:41:41 one of the compliments of my wife's ring. My mother-in-law said, it's lovely ring, it's a lovely size. It's not too small, it's not too big. It would look garrish if it was any bigger, like that, right? And I was like, yeah, yeah. I think we would want garrish.
Starting point is 00:41:59 They want the, did you say Cristiano Ronaldo's ring from last week? You know, everyone, not everyone knows this, but I am friends with Lisa Vanderpump. Yes. Lisa Vanderpump wears diamonds that you could live in. You know, like these are moxters. He's like, these are, you know. But we're not the, listen, we're not in the economic climate to be doing that. And as I said to Anika, because we've got other news about where I'm living.
Starting point is 00:42:23 And you're in a big city and with the way of the economy's going on the other thing. You have your hands. Everyone's like this, don't wear your watch out. People are coming to steal watches. People snatch you watch off you. Don't wear you watch out. I know women who are 4 foot 11 who are walking around with a fucking tennis ball of a diamond on their fucking finger. And you want to steal my watch?
Starting point is 00:42:44 People are telling six foot four blokes, no Rolex in London. Every single girl. doesn't seem to be perturbed about having a mass in time. I don't want to give the criminals an idea. I don't want to give them all. But it would help the blokes out. But you knocked a few off. But you can drive by with a machete and fucking make a killing.
Starting point is 00:43:04 I would love a snatch and grab group that help the boys out by going after a few big rocks here and there. You know, a few guys with machetes and balaclavas who go up to a girl and go, oh, that's modest, you can kick that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, if you start stealing the really big rings,
Starting point is 00:43:20 so the women don't want them. That would be an assistant. I'm actually thinking we should do a Jesse Smollett type thing. But we actually set this up. I always paid for someone. It's actually mug my girlfriend. If someone could mug Anika for the $100 ring,
Starting point is 00:43:35 I'd go, imagine it, you'd be dead if it was the real one. She'd like, I'll go with a piece of string. I got too much drum. I can't have any jewelry on me. Now, my wife only wears the ring if we're getting an Uber to a tree. from an event and we're going
Starting point is 00:43:51 in and out over something otherwise she doesn't walk around whether or anything like that but I know girls as I said
Starting point is 00:43:58 I know five foot one five foot two girls who are walking around with fucking big rocks nothing nothing
Starting point is 00:44:05 and as I said I've been told in this to it countries where I can wear my Rolex and where I go and this Rolex here is a
Starting point is 00:44:13 $10,000 Rolex is not the most expensive Rolex it's not the most it's a it's a nice
Starting point is 00:44:19 Rolex right but it's not a $50,000 diamond fucking pure gold one or anything like that is and everyone who has spoken to me on this tour would leave your hotel and that even mobile phones
Starting point is 00:44:34 they tell you now you get this people go by on scooters and they're going on scooters and fucking so how easy would it be to nick a fucking ring off it well absolutely I get let's put that out there okay so now we're tech to sell
Starting point is 00:44:46 now there's another case so you have to have a ring right well for yeah i guess i am right for what do they get married i don't get an engagement you don't get me no ben take men men pay for it we have a quality in our society right we have a pay wage gap for a very good reason we have to buy these massive rings crazy right like like and we pay for food that there has to be a pay wage gap we with society can't run without it right that is true we have to we the money get louis the vacation either women start paying 50 50 on everything and you get the
Starting point is 00:45:22 same ring as men or we need to have a little bit more money to make this whole system work. Or I would how about you get me a watch for the engagement? What about that? Women get a diamond ring and men get a watch that says as time passes I'll love you more or something. Yeah you engraved in the bottom. And you go so you can't lock it off everywhere. Yeah yeah so you can't
Starting point is 00:45:39 sell it to sew it. Because men like watches, women like rings. Women should buy men watch it. This is a thing that drives me. There is no strongest substance on the world like diamond. it's the strong diamonds cut other things diamonds are the strongest thing in the world yet women don't want second-haired ones
Starting point is 00:45:57 like are you fucking kidding or the lab grown ones they want it to be pulled up by an African child with an AK-47 literally diamonds are forever you better buy me a new one I don't want someone's old one and always they don't want anything inherited from fucking
Starting point is 00:46:15 okay so my I had at one stage a girlfriend when I was in my 20s And my mother said, you can have my grandmother's ring and have that very little tiny thing. That was going to be my move, but I think that's a smart. That's a smart one because you say, oh, my grandma, but, but, but, you have to say, she brought, she escaped the Holocaust. Yeah, but also, this woman wasn't renowned as a fun, nice lady, you know, like, but I remember,
Starting point is 00:46:38 so my brother was getting married, uh, and, uh, my sister-in-law, this is his current wife, and she won't mind why me saying this because she's quite, my sister loves fashion, loves clothes, loves name brand clothes she she that's her other people have drug habits like cigarettes like drinking whatever she likes clothes
Starting point is 00:47:00 she likes to buy clothes right so her wedding dress I imagine for her was an important as for most women but very important that she likes style she likes fashion right
Starting point is 00:47:12 um was very important my mother who is even just the bone structure, even if she was thin, was a wide human being, right? Like, she was a solid, solid person, right?
Starting point is 00:47:26 Right? She says that Claire, my sister-in-law, oh, you could have my wedding dress. I think it would look wonderful on you. Now, that's the biggest insult you can give. Once it Claire's letters look like a fitted chick. Yeah, you'd have to get it tailored. You'd have to get it tailored.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Tailored in a bit. But you could wear There's a solid day's work Yeah but isn't that the most awkward conversation With your mother-in-law ever That No I don't want your wedding dress from 1968
Starting point is 00:48:00 Right That's surely reasonable Yeah Yeah and also it had that My mother was a smoker It had a lovely yellow tinge on one corner Where she blew out of the side of her mouth You know what I mean
Starting point is 00:48:12 Flake I can't imagine it was a good frock no no no he had frills frills in it it wasn't there wasn't any shoulders showing or anything there's frills going down and embroidery as a shoulder it looks like a giant christening dress yeah oh yeah
Starting point is 00:48:28 I had a christened did you have a christening dress yeah yeah yeah yeah there's photos of me in a dress and so babies all wear christening dress it wasn't too dissimilar what I'm wearing it probably might look like a little wedding dress and my parents are I got christened you know so if you die as a baby you don't go to hell that's why you That's why you get a day.
Starting point is 00:48:47 I wonder why the priests get into the little kids. Easy access. They're literally putting water on their forehead while they wear like a little frilly dress. Yeah, yeah. A little wedding. Yeah. If the boys are wearing dresses, the little baby girls should have to wear tuxedos. If all things are even.
Starting point is 00:49:03 So I've got a fiancé. Okay, so. And so now we're, she's into saying that now. My fiancé. I didn't enjoy saying my fiancé because it felt a little bit temporary. Yeah. my fiancé, my fiance, my fiance but I love saying my wife
Starting point is 00:49:18 I love saying my wife and my wife... I'd be very hard to not say my wife everybody who when you get married because you know what saying my wife gets you out of trouble
Starting point is 00:49:29 if you say to somebody and girlfriends you definitely can't do this to girlfriends hey can you come to do this gig someone asked me to do a gig one on holiday or something like that if I go I have to check with me girlfriend
Starting point is 00:49:42 and if you watch Yeah, then they're like... What? I even have to check with my fiancée. What? You're a bitch. You go,
Starting point is 00:49:49 the wife won't let me. Not just my wife. It's the wife. Yeah, the wife. The wife right there. And I even say that to my wife now, I go, blame me. She goes, oh, dude, there's some problem I have to talk to her about many about something.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Blame me? Just say my husband's upset. I try and do that. I'm now a lot. And Aalika leans over the phone and goes, I'm fine with it, he's lazy. Yeah, no, you don't want that. She's just a shock at.
Starting point is 00:50:12 But having a wife, you get out of, And then, like, having it a baby even, and that's another level. You don't ever have to leave your house if you have a baby. So now I have to think of that. It's probably a couple years away from me, if I seem it ever works. Well, here's my other news. I know this other news, but this is what I'll say about the baby. There's never a right time.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Never. You're never going to have your finances perfectly where you want them to be. You're never going to have your career perfectly. I want to have the child so I start focusing. I want my children. I want my children as a... We know people who are less successful who have kids
Starting point is 00:50:47 and they do it, right? We know people who are more rich than you or me who are fucked at it, right? All you need is love. All you need is love and the support of the at this moment podcast listeners

Starting point is 00:59:48 all right so my house is going to have to become a crumpet things like that into a swear jar yeah we're brought in a swear jar so we're brought in a swear jar
Starting point is 00:59:57 and actually Hank brought the swear jar down because he was in his bedroom from when he was a child and he had in the jar he goes, I've got the jar down and he brought the jar down and I have to
Starting point is 01:00:08 I have to pay a dollar every time I swear a dollar into the swear yard. So my kid's got a Ferrari. I will say that your house is the one where we all swear in there when we visit. I've got other friends where
Starting point is 01:00:25 I call my mate James and he's got three kids and it puts me on speaker and I'll be like this fucking guy's a piece of shit I ate that bloke and he's like, mate, kids, and he hangs up up on me. You've never been that dead. That's why, that's why
Starting point is 01:00:40 James McCain's the greatest Australian comic that's ever lived. There's his shirt there, folks. Yeah, because he's fucking, he's got morals. Not like this fucking Ellie Cash. Yeah, no, I don't know why Hank just never did it. But also, like, I don't know with swearing.
Starting point is 01:00:58 It's such a part of the Australian lingo. I don't want my kids to be like swearing like sailors or whatever. But they're going to be doing it comforting. Okay, so I can hear my son play games on his iPad with his mates, and his mates are swearing, and I'm not like, that's a bad kid. You know what I mean? These are good kids, right?
Starting point is 01:01:16 But it's like, get that fucking guy. That's fucked. Right, a bit of that. I want my kids to be well-spoken and smart, but I don't care about swearing. I would like my kids to know when and where to swear. But this is the, Alex Murray, my manager, great dude. right fucking he said to me once he goes uh his kids went uh he was talking about me and one of his kids went he's the one that swears all the time he goes yeah that's the one
Starting point is 01:01:46 it's literally like just like fucker this fuck on that but when you become synonymous with swearing yeah i always like billy cully was like that for a generation yeah i think people enjoy me swearing i don't know if that's my ego speaking people definitely enjoy when i say cunt i'm the only person who's like to say cunt out in public like certainly at the whole Hollywood improv, let me tell you that. No problem. Everyone else drops a cump, and it's... It's tough.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Yeah, yeah, no. I'm not kidding you. I brought cut to America, and anyone who says different, anyone who says different is wrong. When I got to America, 18 years ago and started ginging over here, casually and doing ginks, they said, you're not allowed to swear.
Starting point is 01:02:24 You're not allowed to say... No, you're allowed to swear, you're not allowed to say the seawood. No one to say the seawatt. I said it. I broke down that barrier. So you think when they make those shows... I do... And they make those shows on PBS, the things that made America,
Starting point is 01:02:36 they'll go from 2010 to 2020, the word cunt was synonymous with the... I'm even going to give me, and I don't get any credit for this, and maybe I was part of the puzzle that made this happen. Maybe I'm not the entire impetus of it happening. But I believe that I am responsible in some amount for the word Karen, for Karen being a thing because there was a joke I'm not hurting any of this
Starting point is 01:03:06 going back to one of my specials eight years eight years before Karen became a thing right where I'm telling a joke about Jesus and I go always want it weird because there's always a group of people
Starting point is 01:03:21 who are in the audience and there's always one guy and he's sitting there and he's like he bought the tickets for everyone and now he's going oh no Karen fucking loves Jesus
Starting point is 01:03:33 Fuck I'll never get to fuck Karen It's like you've got Cunton Karen I believe that that routine Was one of the pieces Hello we've got room service We're just
Starting point is 01:03:45 I turn out of service Well then that No Okay thank you very much No thank you Thank you Appreciate it again Bye bye
Starting point is 01:03:53 Oh shit of fucking porn here Love Who wants the turn Anyone who gets the turn down service who gets a little corner of their bed fucking put down on an angle and how many comedians are you heard to do this thing can I turn down your bed many women up before
Starting point is 01:04:09 I don't actually understand what that's about because the bed's already made you get the chocolate and then it's a little bit of easier and they put a bit of slip sometimes they put some slippers pick the chocolate but and also you shouldn't be having a chocolate right before you go into bed you've just brushed your teeth
Starting point is 01:04:23 this is the most inopportune time to eat chocolate yeah how about mouthwash oh yeah how about mouthwash and a mintop No, even men is going to show... How about Xanax? No, but you check that. You ever seen me do that joke? Yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:04:36 Oh, fuck. I'll never get to fuck Karen. I use Karen all the time as the woman. What is what we're going to do? We have to go on a second, but we are going to try and spend some... This week, I will put researching to the origins of Karen being a slur. I also believe that Dane Cook used Karen in a joke because someone referenced Dane Cook is doing it, or I did it way before.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Oh, you're not the first kind of saying. No, no, no, no, no, no, but it's, I'm not saying it's a joke. I'm not saying it's a joke. It says, Karen became a thing in the zeitgeist as the name, and I was one of the people who contributed to putting Karen as the name into the zeitgeist that laid Karen Karen. Well, I'll make sure that's on your headstone. But I am fully responsible for cut, partially responsible for Karen.
Starting point is 01:05:24 I love it. And I want an inquisition with the Australian government right now. I want to have one the hearings on this Every immigrant group out there Is desperate to say like what they brought to a country I believe I brought cunt to America
Starting point is 01:05:37 100% I brought cunt to America It was HBO Gave me a cut light They said you were not to say cut for 15 minutes Because our ratings go in 15 minute blocks We want you to have retention We want the audience to like you It was HBO you could say whatever you want
Starting point is 01:05:53 We want the audience to like you So do not say cunt until 15 minutes and at the back of my on my first American special a light flashed up and I said aren't pandas a bunch of cunts
Starting point is 01:06:05 I did not say it before then yes I brought cunt to America well you're welcome you're welcome and great work thank you
Starting point is 01:06:15 and now speaking of cunts we should do a new story we'll whip through a couple of news stories it doesn't always have to be at this moment what's happening at this moment in our lives I know but I just want to I'll have to show you
