We have a lot to talk about. We talk about, look, me not knowing about France, Ferdinand, allegedly. Had to be addressed. We had to be addressed. We talk about my. mechanic. We bring that back up. What's going on there? Not only that, Jim, we talked about the first major resignation from Donald Trump's Cabinet, as well as hate speech laws and Australia's soft underbelly politically. We get into that.

A few things that are annoying us about our homeland because it's not fair to talk shit about America. Don't forget we talk about people writing, cut on your posters. What gigs are you got coming up? Well, my run here at the Adelaide Fringe will be over. and then keep in touch people in Istanbul. I have a show in Istanbul and Athens. Istanbul and Athens. You're confident in Istanbul is a good place to go right now? You think you're going to be fun?

My dad is trying to talk me out of it, but I am going to be there in July. They're all crazy. They've been crazy there for years. They've got a bit. They've got a buddy kitten up here, mate. They're not going to get any better. They've been like this since I was a kid.

I've got some shows coming up. Dallas, March 27th at the Majestic Theatre. Austin, Texas, March 28th. And that's as far as I'm going to tell you about. Just go to those two gigs. And we've got the big Australian tour. Go to Jim Jeffries.com. We're ready to go.

Gailay, Amos. How's Australia going? How's it treating you? How's the festival? Mate, it's wonderful. It's good. It's so good. And it's so good to be here.

Oh, yes. With renowned historian Jim Jeffries. Yes. Who has been accused by one. 1.8 million people of not knowing who Franz Ferdinand is. This, this, fuck, okay, I didn't, I wasn't going to talk about it, right? I have to talk about it. But I thought you'd bring it up, right?

Okay, so, so you came on and you did a France Ferdinand joke, right? Now, as soon as you said the banned France Ferdinand, right? I went, and they go, the IDF are using France Ferdinand. My brain goes to, oh, he's going to, you know, assassinate France Ferdinand, the war's going to start. But you went down a slightly different avenue and said, imagine if France Ferdinand's the reason that the war starts again, right? And I was like, take me out, like as in take the band out, and then the war starts because, obviously, the first, okay, I'm not even going to say it.

So I've been accused of not knowing who the fuck France Ferdinand is. I'm a 49-year-old man, right? Any Australian who fucking studies in high school and does bloody modern history, all modern history is in Australia is war. That's all we learn about. It's so good, because the comments, Some of the comments, here's the ones that I knew would hurt you the most. That joke went over Jim's head.

No. No. Now, here's the one that I thought you'd really particularly hate is when it went into the mass media, once it went to like 2 million views, people are writing this, guy with L.A. hat and glasses is a dipshit and dumb and doesn't know. And I thought, I think you'll be more upset than it's guy with L.A. hat and glasses. Okay. Okay.

So, first of all, first of all, the top comments are, They hit the second France Ferdinand, and that got 30,000 likes. That's funny. The next one, got to know your World War I, that's been, WW1 means World War I. I know that. History to get that joke, I appreciate it. You pompous little cunt to actually write, I got that joke,

acting like Amos was some highfalutian who had some type of spin. special fucking education. That got liked by 11,000 people who should be fucking ashamed of themselves. I was loving. I got it as well. If you listen to the rest of the podcast, we joke about it slightly afterwards. I checked that to make sure, right? What I love about it is that people are patting themselves on the back for knowing about

Franz Ferdinand. I feel like, is that in America, do they not teach this about the arched? The great comic, Glenn Moore, Glenn Moore used to do a joke back in 2003, 2004, where he said, when Franz Ferdinand was a big band, when I was living in Britain, by the way, they are an English band, and Franz Ferdinand, and he said,

they had their first single, and Glenn Wohl goes, wouldn't it be funny to assassinate Franz Ferdinand and see what happens, right? That was a joke when the band came out. He obviously doesn't do that joke anymore because it's not topical. You might bring it back now.

But my point is, yes, every man my age knows about fucking Franz Ferdin. Do you think that I'd thought the band name themselves Franz Ferdin because they were funny letters to slap together into a mixture? Okay, so what was amazing about this, just for everybody who's listening, Jim doesn't normally ever read the comments, but this one had caught his eye, and he's flying over to Boston.

I was, I was, you were happy, Heiserichael, clearly having a tism spiral about this. I was just getting messages and our manager was next to me, And we just, we wanted to keep poking you because you're like this. What do they mean? I don't know the joke. I know who Franz Ferdin is. And then you text again 10 minutes later.

What is it about my face that seems like I don't understand? And then we would say, I don't know, people are just being cruel here. I need you to explain to me exactly how it is that this is doing my fucking skull in. Yeah. Well, this is the problem. I've been called, I've been called ignorant. I've been called belligerent. I've been called a cunt.

But I fucking get jokes. I understand fucking. jokes and I laughed at your joke and people were acting like I was laughing because I was confused. If I don't get a fucking joke, I'll go, what do you mean by that? Okay, so this is what the public thought. I have never fake laughed at someone's joke to get away with it. I fucking, I'll loan up.

I'll go, no, I didn't get that. Let me tell you, but what the public thought was that you, right? Just listening to me, go, Franz Ferdinand, imagine if he got killed by the IDF and you go, Take me out! Yeah. That's what I meant. Like you're going, if he got taken out, even though he said, take me out, that's the level that they think.

And then these people that know Franz Ferdin and are like, I'm actually a classical scholar and I will be, I will be brutally honestly. When you were doing the joke, I thought, a little bit weak and he's taking a little long to get to the punchline, right? But I didn't step on it. Now, hold on. Now, that's collateral damage. So let's not go for me here.

No, no, no, no, no. Turns out I'm wrong because it's the most viral clip our fucking things ever had. But as you said, bloke in L.A. Hat with glasses is fucking moron. And you remember when we started this podcast and everyone used to abuse you and now the tables have turned? LA hat. Dumbuck. Yeah. Dumbuck.

Well, why don't you tell us about Gavrillo Princehip, the assassin? I see, if I did a Princehip reference, that would have been better. Here's a thing. Oh, the person who assassinated Frenchwood. Yeah, yeah, Gavrilla Prince Chip. There you go. When you say that, I didn't know the name of the person who did it. All I knew was the basic routes that France Verden, the Hungarian, Austrian.

Austro-Hungarian, yes. Next-in-line for the throne. Next-in-line was assassinated and that set off a whole lot of chain reaction. The chain reaction that went on to World War I. I did. My son, who's 13, he fucking knows who France Ferdinette and counsel like this. You've got to know your World War I history to be. be able to truly appreciate that joke.

You've got to know you. It's the first fact. What's your next bit of fact from World War I? They use trenches. Do a trench joke. Anyone heard of mustard gas? Get the fuck out of here. It would be the equivalent if like,

it'd be the equivalent if the German chancellor now went to Poland for a summit. And I went, oh, German man goes to Poland. This is about to kick off. And people are in the comments. this guy's switched on. He knows. He knows the guy in the football jersey is an historian of historians. This is the rest is history for people with an IQ of 75.

I used to do a podcast called I Don't Know About That. We did one of the episodes on World War I, and the first one was, how did the war start? And I said, the assassination of France Ferdinand. There's documentation of me actually know. Okay, I've dug myself a hole here. Because what's going to happen now is everyone's going to come after me when I don't get jokes moving forward. They're going to write comments.

It's the France Ferdinand thing all over again. Yeah. I knew that if I brought this up. I've just given him a comment. I knew that ultimately. You said you wouldn't bring it up because I was in a bad mood on that plane. Well, the only thing that I thought was you're a way out of this was just to go. I don't like my co-host delivery.

It needs to be said. He skirted it around the joke and needed to get to the point quicker. Okay. No, no, no, no. But I thought it was an easy joke. I thought it was, as soon as you say France, Ferdinand and War, I knew the punchline before you got there because I'm not a simpleton, right? The fact that people were there going, oh, he stepped on his punchline.

What? You didn't get where he was going. You didn't get where he might have been heading with that. Now, let's get out of our own anises and talk about a couple of other things. Yes. First of all, mechanic. Your mechanic. Okay.

So I'm going to refresh for everyone who didn't listen last week. Jim went to a mechanic in Van Nuys where he bought this car where he was already ripped off. Price the Dodge Jeep and Ram used to be formerly Russell Westbrook. Now what was the price they asked? He left it. He left it like he does all the other teams. Yeah, so he left it. Yeah.

So what was the quote? He was 11,000 something. Now, I can't get the quote because they wouldn't write the actual number down when I said no. They wouldn't write it down. But it was 11,000 something dollars. And you've taken it to a outside dealer. What was the price of this? For the same moped, genuine parts, it actually came to a bit over $3,000.

But that's because one of the repairs that the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram from Van Nuys had asked me to repair, didn't need a repair. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. But if they included the repair that was unnecessary, it would have come to $5,800. disgraceful. Right? From 11,000, right? I even when I was there, because I've already got the money budgeted, I slapped on four tires and more brake pads and all this type of stuff I went for it.

But they tried to rip me off $5,000 and claimed a repair that didn't even pay. Because the engine light turned on and then they claimed two different things. And I'm like, what, two things broke at once at different ends of the car. And that's why the engine light came on. fucking assholes. Just despicable. Now, what you were alluding to at the start of the show is, yes. And also,

also Van Nuys, Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge, reach out to me. Try to get me for defamation or something. Because you have a 2.3 rating on fucking Yelp you, cunts. Yeah, fucking cunts. They wouldn't know, Franz Ferdinand is, you dumb fucks.

Speaking of cunts, I'm leaving my venue two days ago. And they've got big billboards all over the fringe. and I'm walking with a couple of friends. We walk past my life-size billboard, and there's a picture of me, and someone has written with mascara. So I don't want to gender who this was.

It could have been a drag queen. Yeah, yeah, so it was either a woman or a drag queen who had done this to you. Or some like, you know, some 80s cover band, you know what I mean? Still Panther. That's true. There is a queen tribute show in the tent next to me.

So now Have you ever heard this story with you even know this story with Andrew Tate? Okay first of all with the posters I feel for you I've been there when I was doing the Edinburgh Festival people used to defaunt the amount of cocks that have been written on my head is unbelievable and that's just for me passed out in the gutter as they walk by and also on the posters so I feel for you now yeah

this is the best one you can actually see it so cunt is what you immediately see but if you look look closer. You will see a penis. Oh, there is a cock there. Okay. I didn't, I didn't know. But also, with a key, someone has scratched in sexist. Well, I like, I hope it wasn't a car key because she might have been driving home. I hope that was a house key. Franz Ferdinand would have got that. Why her husband didn't take those keys off her, we'll never know. But you know what I like about that, do you think there are people who have left your show and then went, I'll leave me comment or they've just heard through the grapevine that you're a cunt and a sexist.

Listen, I had, my shows have been great, but I do some little guest spots around town. And you know what I forget? Yeah. Is I, is that, and you surely know this too, you don't like you. You become an acquired taste if you're doing stand-up in your own way. And then I, I come out there like fucking veggie mite to Americans, essentially, and they get a little taste of me. Oh. Oh.

I used to be a very good. club comic. I used to have a wonderful 20-minute set that I could bash out and you'd be very entertaining. And then when I started doing Edinburgh, I started doing sort of more edgier stuff. And then now I only like playing to my fans. When I don't play to my fans, look, I have a 15-minute hemorrhoid routine at the moment that doesn't go down well with people who who haven't been following. Can I tell you something about that before we finish this off? This is a funny story. My mate opened for you on the weekend, Andre. Yes. Andre, yes. All right. Now, I, I,

Maybe I'm talking out of school, but fuck it, it's too funny. He called me after the show. It doesn't bother me. I said, how'd you go? Okay. I've got several stories from this weekend. There's been some fuck-ups. He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it was all good.

He goes, except I brought a girl with me and I was fucking her in the green room when Jim was on stage. And the stage had a speaker. And I was fucking this chick during the period where Jim spoke about his asshole hemorrhoid problem for 15 minutes. He goes, I simply could not come. I didn't know how to turn down Jim's voice. I'm in a green room. having sex with my girlfriend. And all I could hear was, my asshole is destroyed.

Gaping, gaping asshole. And this girl's like, this girl's like trying to block her ears out. I'm loving that I'm cock-blocking from a distance. Your act is so revolting. You stopped a Portuguese man ejaculating. I know I've stopped a lot of people who have gone on dates from having a fuck. But I've also, but if you do get a fuck out of the woman, you've gone on a date to see my show. She's a good one, right?

I'll tell you something embarrassing that happened this week and I wasn't going to mention this and now that you've mentioned the shows. Okay, so Hershey went great. I went and did the show in Hershey. Boston, I had really bad hay fever, but I could hardly talk. My voice had packed in completely.

I don't, you know, I don't drink, I don't smoke. It was just my voice was going on me. It isn't great now. Anyway, I'm on stage. I do this bit about how fat people, I do a joke about fat people, and then I crouched down and I slapped the stage. And I go, I go, I'm not, I've been punched on stage before, but I'm not afraid of this happening again.

Because you see this, this is a three foot high stage. That's like the Great Wall of China to a fat fuck, right? I know that. I know the bit. Always kills, right? It does very well. Anyway, cut to 10 minutes later, I'm on stage and then I'm hard. I'm in the hemorrhoid bit.

I'm doing the hemorrhoid bit. And then I hear the, stop, stop. And I'm like, it's not the. about a joke, come on now. And I said, oh, yeah, what's wrong? Up on the balcony, three and a half thousand people. Oh, what's wrong? What's wrong?

What's wrong? And they go, the lady goes, we need a doctor. Right? You've had an emergency. I've had this at least 15 times in my career where shows have had to stop because of heart attacks or when you sell a lot of tickets, this happens, Amos. It'll happen. It'll happen for you. It won't just.

Just on sample science. Yeah, it won't just be just cunt. And also, my fan base is aging. Well, I was going to say, mine are a little younger than yours at the moment. Anyway, but this has happened a few times, right? So at this stage, there's no point joking because someone might be dying. I've had someone actually, like, have a heart attack and maybe die, and ambulance came and got them, right? I've had people have epileptic fits, all right?

This turned out to be a seizure that someone was happening. So who knows epilepsy, whatever, there was a seizure, right? Someone starts convulsing. Maybe I was killing too hard. Who knows? Anyway, so I'm on stage. Oh, we need help. So I go like this, I go, okay, okay, all right, we got a doctor and I say, turn the lights up

because people need to see what's going on. And at that stage, you can't joke. So we've got three and a half thousand people and I can't really joke or anything, right? But you still want to seem somewhat entertaining and I'm a compassionate person. I hope the person's doing okay, but I still have to kill time up there and not sort of be rude. So what I normally do is I sort of I I jump off stage so the focus isn't me on stage And then I walk around the audience and I go sit next to people and chat to them just one on one and people think that's entertaining you know what I mean You go sit down next to him go you having a good time?

What's been your favorite bit blah blah blah why the people are getting the stretcher to get the person out of the fucking room That is a it's a tough one because you're trying to keep the ball up to be respectful as you're trying to keep the ball up and be respectful it's it's a balancing act right so I'm doing doing all I can do to keep the room engaged without being disrespectful. In the end, they come, they stretch of the man out, an ambulance comes, all that type of stuff, and I have to go back on stage. I've just gone. It's three foot high stage. This is like the Great Wall of China to a fat fuck.

And I run to jump on stage. I didn't make it. You had to get the two security guards to give you a boost, did you? I fucking clipped my toe and landed bang onto my knee. I thought I'd jumped high enough. I hadn't jumped high enough. It was probably three and a half foot stage in my defense, right? It was closer to four foot.

It's fun to start another ozempic cycle. Come on. But I did not make it. And it wasn't even like everyone went, wait, just the disappointment from all the men who's like, oh, man. You didn't even get laughter. He got like, he used to be my guy. Oh, God. I was a disgrace.

And I don't think I had a great show from that moment on. I couldn't really pick the ball up. The shame that was rushing through my veins through the entire thing. So you might be called it. You might be called a cunt on a poster, mate. I look like a cunt in real life. I was called a sexist and whatnot. You know, I don't even dispute these claims, do I?

But I was doing a joke about it. I was raising some money for a domestic claim. I don't dispute that I couldn't get on a three-foot night stage. I was trying to do it. I did this joke, right? Tell me what you think of this. I was raising, they were raising money for a domestic violence charity for women and not much money was raised. And I said, fuck, and now, what have we got here?

We got enough money to give two women a mouth guard and a head guard for the house, right? Which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, I like that joke because it's both punching down metaphorically and physically. Like, France, Finn, man. He was assassinated. That's how the war started. I know comedy. Yeah. So anyway, what happened was, I wanted to tell you about this because I was dragged along by,

So you know me. You know where I sit on things. I've met you, yeah. I've met you, yeah. I've got a lot of very woke friends, obviously, in the festivals. I'm considered one partly, but anyway. But I mean, I'm talking proper here. I'm talking, go to a show and do this.

The clicking of the fingers. I've never understood the clicking in the fingers. So you know when they do that and they go. Snapping because clapping is triggering. I've always thought that as well with the, We'll get back to your story, but obviously that is well with the, when the deaf do, they do that, right? Because, you know, I'm down with the disabled, right? When the deaf do this one, they go, I'd say the deaf can see the applause.

They can still see this as well. This is also a very active thing. Let's all just agree on a clap. It makes no sense, don't it? I would hate to go to a deaf person and it feels so patronising if a deaf person made a joke and I went. And then also, also, what if you? you meet a person with one arm, then they look like they're just waving. Anyway, so you've got some white friends, clicky fingers.

Now, they said to me, I've now since learnt they did this because they thought it'd be funny to bring this right-wing ogre to this event. So I got brought to what was essentially an LGBTQ variety talent program raising money for domestic violence. It should be called an LGBTQ and I. Yeah. So that everyone can, you know, get some questions when I was brought there. They do. As soon as a lot.

As soon as we walked in, I'm looking at the hipster venue, I thought, yeah, yeah, not my usual setup, but I'm going to go along here. I'm happy to donate some money to the women's shelter, Mary's House. Yeah, that always, that always disarms them throwing cash as a problem. Because, you know, when your post has been to face with sexist, it's good to publicly donate a bit of money to a shelter here, and that. And I walk in, and this show might as well be called the Amos Guild Confirmation, bias variety hour. Yeah, yeah. Because what I watched was enough to make me more steadfast in my positions than I've

ever seen before. The amount of people that got up and performed on this stage in this safe space who lacked any objective talent whatsoever was astounding. Comedy shouldn't be safe. No, it wasn't just comedy. It was cabaret. Mate, some of the things were like performance art. Let's talk about cabaret very quickly.

It's stripping for the unattractive for the most part. For the most part, that might give me, apart from, I really want to see the Star Wars, the Empire Strikes Back one where they have like a sexy jab of the hut. I'm down for that one. But apart from that, I've never liked Cabaret. Anytime that you've got like feathers and stuff like that, it's, if I can't go home and have a wank to it, what's the point? Well, you do sound like, you sound like an Australian Timothy Chamonle right now. Cabaret?

What's the point of that? That's outdated. I'd tell you what, Timothy Shanelais, he saved me some time. I don't have to see the ping pong movie now. It won nothing. If something wins like five or six Oscars, I go, I can't, Jack. It's a movie about ping pong.

We're going to talk about the Oscars in a second. Let me finish this. I'm not anti-pink pong, Jack. I'm not anti-pink pong. I just don't think it's movie ready. It's like if they go, have you seen the movie about monopoly? Although I would like to see a movie about monopoly

if it was like real life. Like there was a car driving around, staying in hotels and stuff. I'm down for that. Anyway, so you're Timothy Shalame, carry on. I get brought in, and everyone's looking at me and laughing because they're like, fuck, you're going to, you know, you're going to love this. What mate brought you?

Ollie, my English friend. I like Ollie. Fond of Ollie. Ollie's a good time, yes. Great, great time, and he's misses. Now, listen, a couple of the performers that they were actually friends with, there was a drag queen who was funny. Very funny.

You might not know this about me. I'm a fan of drag queens. I think drag queens are entertaining. I think a bitchy drag queen who does jokes can be a very good show. I don't want to give away jokes from my comedy special, but the reason they found it funny is because I have a 10-minute bit about how I believe that drag will be looked on in 20 years the way we look at blackface. And that blackface and drag have the same origins,

which is black men not allowed to be actors, so white men had to pretend to be black. Women not allowed to be actors in the Royal Shakespeare Company, so men had to play the role of women. We usually portray women in a very derogatory, overly sexual, way with exaggerated features. Does that sound like minstrel shows? Menstrual shows, folks.

I'm mensual. I know what you're saying, but it's done mostly by gay people. I think 100% from gay people. I don't think there's any heterosexual drag queens. Oh, well, Barry Humphreys, Barry Humphreys was... All I'm saying is in 30 years, they may look back on it and go, oh, that was a bit. I don't think they will. I don't think they will, because it was done.

I think if Blackface was done by the gays, we'd still be allowed to do it. Are you saying that Rube Paul's a white man? This is an elaborate act. No, he's doing both. He's doubling down, double negative, positive. I know things. Franz Ferdinand. Anyway, so I'm watching the show, and the dragway was funny,

some of the acts, which is absolutely dire, this is how bad it was. The best act in the first half was a Japanese juggler, and to watch someone actually just have the skills to juggling. Wait, wait a minute. Was he defined by being Japanese? I'm saying he's a he. because I don't know of any female jugglers.

It was a female juggler. Get the fuck out of your female jugglers. Eight, eight balls. And just, it was, do you know how refreshing it was to just watch someone who had objective talent? Like, the balls stayed up. My wife can't handle two. Hmm? Franz Fernand.

So, I'm watching the juggler. And everyone, what I loved about this is even the hyper woke crowd was just like, fuck, it was good to see someone who can actually do something. Because before that, it was just some girls dressed in capes, dancing like this, like doing a... One girl told a story about how she had a lesbian encounter in London many years ago and she was just twirling around and recounting what the night was like, no payoff, no finish.

And everyone's clapping like they're watching the big tortoise... We all know they don't come at the end. Yeah. We can't make them come. Do you think they're making each other come? There's no end to that. It was a very lesbian experience. That's why lesbians are angry.

Yeah. Oh, God, we're in trouble now. So, then something happened. Sorry to all the non-comers. It was just a joke. There's a few things I noticed. When the show began, they did the Welcome to Country. And in this Welcome to Country, it's pretty much an all-white room.

And they literally yell out together as one, Always Was, Always Will Be, Unseated Aboriginal Land. They're singing it like that. I said to Ollie, this is like woke evangelical church. There's like lines that they yell out at the beginning of the show. And not any opinion on that, but that's what it feels like. And there's certain ways you're meant to click for performers and yes. Now, one trans performer came out, who I actually knew before they had transitioned.

Right. And there was... Which way did they go? Which way did they go? Female to male. Yeah, that seems... A female and male. It's a female to male.

Okay. And so the hormones that are happening might have kicked in a little too much on the night because I saw the limits of intersectionality on this evening of the coalition of the left. Okay. Now, here's the thing. I admit when I'm wrong. Intersexual. What did you just say?

intersectionality. Intersectionality. What do you mean by that? So that's like marginalised groups basically banding together to be one. It's a union of people who have been punched down on over the years. That's what you would say. Is it disabled, gay, black? You know, that's why the flag keeps getting more people.

I would have done that with the Franz Ferdinand joke if I didn't understand. See, I admit when I'm wrong. I've been forgot the word, intersexuality. Yeah, that's intersex, such as a sexuality in itself. It's a similar thing, similar thing, similar thing. Starting a business is extremely difficult. There's no doubt about that. You wear a lot of risk.

You think, am I a person that can actually follow through with this? Do I have the skills? What if I fail? How much capital do I have before me? But now we live in this wonderful world with Shopify, where you have all of the tools at your disposal to get the business off the ground and get going. Now, I'm trying to sell merch.

And he would have been about 70 years old. We don't say that anymore. It's not, there's nothing wrong with it. So, I'm, sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm on this, I'm on this, this podcast with you. My opinions aren't the same as Amos's. We have different one. I don't think it's a mental illness. Carry on.

Cock sucking aside, he had other problems. is what I'll say, okay. Okay, so what was his disability? I'm not here to diagnose the man, but he was at the show and he was like, yes, yes. Okay, you're sure he was clicking his fingers? What's your favorite sandwich? You're sure he just didn't have cerebral palsy and he was clicking his fingers by accident?

This was a gay man who had some kind of mental condition. And he was being very sweet and having a fun time. Yeah, okay, good for him. Now, these people, some of the comedians in the room and performers, were so unable to deal with this guy being there until the trans person came on, who just stopped, said, right, you need to shut the fuck up. This is not your night. This is our night.

And you've come into our space and you're being a real cunt. Okay. And everyone is kind of like... No need for that language. No need for that. Everybody's kind of like, oh, no, like this guy's not, he's not being mean. Like he's just not all there, you know what I mean? Like the guy who had Tourette's.

and yelled the N-word out at Jordan B. Miller. And then... Michael B. Jordan. They, the performer, they say something to the extent of, well, you've got some bad relationship with your mum, and you've got to take it out on other women, and we're all just like, oh, come on, leave this guy B now. Leave this guy B now.

Maybe benefit of the doubt you don't know what's going on with him. And then he says, I love you! And she says, sorry, they say, if you loved me, you'd shut the fuck up. I say this to my wife all the time. That line never works. It never works. The vibe of the room is dead.

Even when I kick her out of the house. The vibe of the room is completely dead. And I'm sitting there like, I can't believe I've gone to the most hyperwork show. And yet this is the show that I felt the most genuinely upset and offended was the way this poor disabled man got treated. He turned to me and Ollie and he says, I'm sorry, I haven't left house in eight months. I don't know how to be outside. Oh, my heart's breaking. My heart's absolutely breaking.

And me and Ollie are like, oh, my God, like, this is the most offensive comedy show we've been to. So the show carries on. There's a couple of decent performers. And then it wraps up and the performers come on stage and there's about 45 hyper-partisan woke people in the crowd. And they say, tonight's all about raising money for this shelter, Mary's Shelter, for women have been through domestic violence. They put on a big song and dance about how we all need to help these women. And there's no ticket price tonight.

So you should just donate, please, to a QR code, which we've forgotten to print out. And I thought, oh God, how much do you care about the charity? And then they go, so just go on the website at the end and donate if you can if you enjoyed the show. And so the show finishes, Ollie gives $100. I think, fucking hell, he's shown me up. So I give $30.30 is what I gave. It's been two days since the show. Ollie and I were the only two that donated.

What's the charity? Now, this is... What's the charity? And what I say confirmation bias, this is the sort of virtue signaling. Why I thought, this is a great cause. I would love to give money, and I think everyone here should give money to Mary's house that looks after women that are escaping violent partners. And all these people who make their entire life about their empathy and that

this show that they were putting on and they're there and their allies and they're supporting didn't give a fucking dime, man. All right. So what's the name? What's the name of the charity again? Mary's House? Mary's House. Mary's House.

Is it a good charity? I didn't look into it. I just gave the $30 because, you know, it was a ticket to the show. I enjoyed the juggler. I enjoyed the drag queen. It was one stripper that had a funny act. And so how do you know that you and Ollie? Mary's House Services.

You can see publicly who gave. Okay. Contact House, Mary House Foundation. The Merry House Foundation? Mary House Services, it's called. Okay. All right. Well, you will see I'm going to donate $200 after the show.

It'll be under Jeffrey Nugent because that's my real name. Yes. And so, isn't that wonderful? Amos, Gil, Jim Jeffries, and Ollie are the only. people who donated to the women's shelter after a whole lot of prancing dickheads we were walking around covered in feathers and abusing the disabled fantastic and I just thought like I know my actors come and get us come and get us come and get us go on yeah if you want to come and get us donate to Mary's house services and then come and fucking attack us

but put your money where your mouth is if if you listen to the podcast go give go give money to Mary's house even if it's a dollar two dollars give money to Mary's house and if you can leave a comment, say, from the ATM podcast. Yeah. Listen, I'm walking around with billboards with sexist written across my face. No, no, the word's cunt. And cunt. Oh, a sex is cunt.

A sexist cunt. What is this? Being a cunt is very pro woman. A sex is like this. It's just got big fat lips and it's like, I hate dicks. I'm a big sexist cunt. Yucky. We need us, yeah.

Don't come near me, shutting me up. Men's tongues are full of bacteria, not like women's. So that was my, what I called my confirmation buys. I went in there, I gave it a chance, and I don't want to call them Dickheads. There were some good people there. What I'm saying is there's this uvra in this hyper woke festival sphere that I live in. And while I'm sitting here feeling deeply ashamed about my support for many right-wing causes and Donald Trump and I'm a moron with a low IQ.

Yeah, but you've admitted you're wrong about the Donald Trump. But what I'm saying is it made me go home and think, well, yeah, I do remember why I was like some of this community drives me up the fucking wall. And I think there's a lot of people that jump on pushback reactionary movements because you go down and you see that and you think, God, well, I don't like that. But I also don't want this. I don't like extreme right. I don't like extreme left.

But it's where we're at in this world, man. man, people get pushed. And if you go on the internet, you get pushed in different directions. Now, I, I, look, me and you have been, we were further apart politically when this podcast started. We were getting sort of closer to get it. I become a Tucker Carlson fan because of you primarily, because I think Tucker's the only one that speaks honestly from his little house in Maine. And we'll probably end up getting killed for the privilege. And they look like they're trying to fucking arrest him.

Yeah, the CIA has been intercepting his text messages. supposedly and because what allegedly had he done texting with the people inside the Iranian regime before the war had started out but also Donald Trump doesn't even call this a war it's not a declaration of war

we are not at war because he didn't go through the legal channels to declare war we're in a limited operation which is going so well that we won and you know we won because he's begging other countries to join And Joe Kent, do you hear about Joe Kent? So Joe Kent just resigned.

Okay, so if you go on Twitter, you can see it now. This has got 70 million views, 203,000 shares. Joe Kent used to work for the CIA. He was a green beret served in Iraq. And he has resigned from the administration. This is the first resignation. And quite frankly, I had expected Tulsi Gabbard, maybe RFK Jr. would also resign, given that Tulsi Gabbard was selling t-shirts that say,

no, what with Iran? So I thought that would come. So Joe Kent has written today, after much reflection, I've decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center effective today. I can no longer in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been a president to serve under POTUS and DNI-Gabbard,

and leading the professionals at NCTC, God bless America. And he's posted a letter that he sent to President Trump. What's really funny about this, Jim? I haven't read the letter. I haven't read the letter. Donald Trump has come out and slammed, obviously, anyone that's resigning. And he said, get this one, I always thought that Joe was weak on security, very weak on security.

Well, if he was so weak on security, you appointed him to be the head of counterintelligence. Yeah, but this happened Do you remember like when he was really into Mad Dog Maddox or whatever his name was? Yeah, Maddach James Mattis, the general. Mattis and he just is like going Mad Dogg.

They call him Mad Dog. He loves the... And then he fired him and he's like That cat was hopeless. Mad Dog is famous for the quote. Always carry a knife. You never know when you'll need to kill someone or slice a cake.

There's something to that effect. He's not wrong. Yeah. So obviously we're drifting into the war now, which was meant to be an in-and-out operation. We're obviously getting bogged down. Straight of Hamoos is under fire. Oil prices rising, which means inflation will be rising, which means God knows the economic catastrophe that we're walking into. You can already feel it here. I don't know what the petrols are like in America, but we're up to $2.75. But you know what I think about that. Was I talking about this last week? Who was I talking to this about the other day? It's like they're going, the highest that ever reach was $146 a barrel, right? And they're going, it could reach $200 a barrel, which is massive.

A barrel's massive, man. Oh, yeah. I'd pay $200 just for the barrel. Fuck the fucking stuff inside it. You're telling me that there's boats carrying a product that takes up, I don't know, fucking 15 square feet. Right? For 150 bucks? What I love about the arguments on gas and petrol, it is pretty funny.

Evian water is more expensive than crude oil. Milk is more expensive than crude oil. Think about this. Oil, so in order to get the gas at our pump, basically, right? There needs to be decayed carbon life forms that have gathered on the seabed or the land bed, I believe the seabed. and then press down by God knows how much cubic force of the entire universe over millions of years. It needs to be embedded down, turned into this crude. Then we need to sonically geoengineer and geo-map the seabed, find it.

Okay. Then we need to extract it by drilling into the ocean, sucking out oil, get it onto a boat, get that boat to a refinery, refine that, turn into gas, ship it to the other side of the world. also in that period of time kill God knows how many Arabs and other people in order to secure the rights to that and then once we've got that we have to drive it to the gas station and then if it costs more than $2 we're like

the president has to resign Yeah it's unbelievable 150 bucks a barrel That's the fucking cheapest chips Actually it's It's cheaper than chips Cheaper than chips You buy a red ball for $6

You have a barrel of potato Right? That'll cost more than that. All fucking day. All day than oil. And we don't have an infinite amount of it. We have a finite amount of it. And we're going, oh, it costs too much. Cost too much. I can't believe it. Well, like, you know, everything, all of our economy does rely in it. And I mean, I was just thinking about it. I was just talking about it with Andrew just before we were saying about Trump. Like, this is such a coalition destroying moment for him. And if you look at who's left with him, it's basically Mark Levine and Ben Shapiro, people who never Trump at the beginning who said they'd never vote for him and everyone who supported

him and Ryan died with him. And don't forget, so much of this new Trump. I used to, I used to listen to Mark Levine. When I first got to America, my first memories of Mark Levine, I'll tell you the story. He was a radio guy. He talks, and he just talks by himself and he talks nonstop. And he just sort of goes, and what's wrong with these people? These people, they don't know what's going on in the country.

They're like Mark Levine, right? So one time I get there, and this is the Obama's are in power. Right. I'm in my car and he's like this. He goes, I want you to listen to something. Just listen to this little sound bite for me just quickly. This is, this is Michelle Obama, her thineus. He used to call her thineus. Right. He goes, this is her thineas. This is a quote from her on Sesame Street. She's speaking to Elmo. She's speaking to Elmo. Here she is. And it was like, Elmo, and she goes, I'm hungry. And then she goes, he goes, what should I eat? Can I have a cheeseburger?

Can I have some French fries? Can I have some milkshake like this? And she's like this. Well, you can have those things, but not all the time. It's more important to have fresh fruit and vegetables. Fresh fruit and vegetables? I didn't know. Right?

Right. Sesame straight. He goes, so there he is. That's, that's, that's, that's, that's a her thineus. That's a quote from her thineas. You heard it. Speaking to Elmo, speaking to Elmo. Here is her in In-N-Out burger yesterday with the French president.

I'll have a cheeseburger and fries. I'll have a cheeseburger and fries. These are the people that we have running the nation. He's lying. He's lying. Contradictory. He's carrying on, right? I go off.

Is that for real? Is that for real? This 100% is 100% is an episode. I remember singing going, America's fucked. This is mental. This guy. So I get out of my car. I go do some shopping, right?

I go do some shopping. I think I have an audition or something. I'm out of the car for two hours. I come back in. I start the engine. I still had a key back then, right? I start the engine and then I hear this. A cheeseburger and fries.

This is what she's up to. And this is a man now who is trying to throw anyone that says anything against the state of Israel in prison while also talking about loving the founding fathers. Loving the founding fathers? Hate speech laws? The one thing I like about Mark Levine is he helps with dog charities and I like people who like dogs for the most part. So I give him a little bit of leeway there. But yeah, he goes, he goes, this is what she said to Elmo.

But like that group that Trump had, right, you know, like this last election, it wasn't the Fox News people that helped him get elected. It was this new alliance of people that were sort of pushing back against. the decades-long woke thing, right? So it's like young Latino men came on board for the first time, young black men in bigger numbers than we've ever seen, the manosphere people, the Rogan people, people like myself who thought,

young black men coming in numbers you've never seen. You're not doing the same Google search as I'm doing. And those people have all been portrayed on this. So he'll, listen, he's going to, the midterms, they're going to get smacked. And then I would suggest that after you get smacked in the midterms, he'll get impeached. So I forgot who it was, I was saying it,

which is he's a cornered rat and be very, very careful cornering a rat right now. I'll be honest here, right? So I was doing the Jim Jeffery show when he was being impeached the first time, right? And I still, to this day, when people go, someone's being impeached, I still don't quite know what that means. Because Clinton got impeached, Trump got impeached, both of them never left government. The only person who ever left and he resigned was,

Nixon, what does it mean? Well, I guess you do, you ultimately have to be, in the day, you'd be impeached and then you'd go, well, I fall on my sword and leave. Yeah, but if they go, I'm not leaving. If they just stick with it, I don't know at what point they have to send their Marine Corps in and drag you out of the office, but. Yeah. Because what, what exactly does it mean?

Like, I know that I could, I could Google it, but that's going to take time. I was hoping you'd know. Well, I'd love to know because he was impeached, wasn't he? and then nothing really happened. Nothing happens. Clinton was impeached. Nothing happened. Yeah.

No, actually, to be honest with you, I don't know if he gets removed from office. I guess he can. The main consequence is removal from office, though a second vote can disqualify from holding future office. A simple majority in the House is needed to impeach. A two-thirds vote in the... Okay, that's what it is. You need two-thirds in the Senate.

That's why... So Trump would be always impeached by the House. But in the Senate, they never had two-thirds who would vote to get him kicked out. But this could be an absolute lands. slide against them. When fuel is, when gas is that high, when you have, I, I think, I don't think it's as simple as gas. I think people just don't like being at war.

I don't. No, no, but I'm saying like, cost of living is high. We're at war. Almost everything that was the promise is not worked at all. So, you know, that coalition is dead and buried. And then people like Tucker Carlson, they're getting threatened with prison. Yeah, but haven't you seen, like, I, look, I travel around the country. I like,

uh, drive out to Hershey, go through a few small towns in butt fuck nowhere in America, you know, different little towns you go through. And you see like the, the white people and they're rocking chairs out the front.

And they're missing a few teeth. I think you just went past the cracker baron and saw the advertisement. I'm not sure of this is real. They're spitting into a spatoon, right? And then occasionally they look up and they go, but what has he done for Israel? Like,

oh, they're fucking passionate about Israel? Jeez, they are. The white trash of America, that's all they care about is Israel. All the impoverished are going, but is he helping out Israel? Listen, everything's so fucked financially. Maybe they do think that they're because they believe once the third temple is rebuilt,

the rapture comes and then God takes them out of this horrible economy up to heaven. Do you think they get rid of that gold dome in Jerusalem? I would suggest there is a lot of people inside that state that would love that to happen. They do want to build the third temple. That's the complete Judaism. Judaism can't be proper. properly completed until they rebuild the temple. Can't be completed.

I thought we were trying to get rid of something. Why are we always building on things? Judaism should be working like this. Well, they lost their temple, right? Judaism should be going, have a vote. Let's get rid of the hats, bit silly. Bit silly. That was called Christianity, wasn't it?

No, we all know the Yamaka was invented by a ball bloke who came in one day. He was just at the back and he just came in. He meant like this. And I've spoken to God, and he wants us to all cover up this bit. It's important that we all cover this bit. I like the ones with it because I was traveling the first time I ever saw the Hasidics. I like the ones that have to travel with that big hat bag. Oh, yeah, the big hat.

Do you reckon, do you reckon like in Islam, there was like one Muslim who had an ugly wife who went, but he's speaking to God. He's got a new outfit for all the wives. They all have to wear it. Wigs? We all got to do it. Uh, what other ones? What other people?

Well, actually, you know, the Christian ladies cover up the hair, too. The lady that got a bad haircut. What lady got a bad haircut? Like, Mary had a bad haircut, because they used to have the veil. Do you reckon Mary had a bad haircut? I'm just going with your logic here. Oh, no, I didn't understand that joke. See, I admit when I don't understand a joke.

I admit it, I don't just laugh along like a fool. Because when you look, well, there was nothing funny that I said there. I'm just trying to go through all the religions. What about the Buddhists? Oh, the Buddhists? There would have been, one of their blokes was a cancer patient. And all he had was sheets. So solidarity you're saying and they shaved their heads for that.

And he just said that little bit at the back. You ever seen when like the Buddhists are walking along and they have the swastika? Because it wouldn't always mean that. Like I don't know exactly who it is. It's like the Hari Krishna's have the swastika. You ever see that? No. No, I mean, I know that it's a Buddhist, it's a symbol.

It's an Eastern symbol of, what is it, is it peace or balance or something? When you see them walking down with a flag with a swastika on it, you go, ah, even if, even if you think it has a different meaning. No, it's too late. Even if you think it's got a different meaning, probably drop this one. Just drop it. That would be interesting. A lot of white nationalists are just like, I refuse to be told that I cannot show my Hindu roots.

Just, just drop it. Look, you're already wearing the orange like toga, right? And you've shaved the head. I believe you. Don't have to add a swastika to run. really get it over the line. If certainly, if I got a swore stick of prison tattoos, instead of getting them over,

I would just buy an orange robe. When I look at Charles Manson's forehead, all I think is hurry, hurry, Krishna. Anyway, what will we say? I always thought you could do a tattoo over the top of it,

of a cartoon character running. You know, like, the... Jack got it. No, apparently Volkswagen tires, some of them still do that when they spin fast enough. Really? The emblem becomes the swastika.

Oh, I don't know about that. That might have been my friend's aftermarket, Adam. I don't want to throw him under the bus. No, Jack says, have you seen this? And he's pulling it up rather quickly on his phone. And his phone's covered in come. Just swast stickers and come over here. Right, a couple of things I want to show you about the Oscars.

Well, before the Oscars, let's talk entertainment just quickly. Before the Oscars is Hugh Jackman, our fellow Australian. Maybe one of the, a showman, a triple threat, if you will. Studied at the great university of Wopper where I went to university. A singer, a dancer, a showman. He did a private party for Rupert Murdoch, who owns Fox. He owns basically everything. He did a private party for him.

People are shitting on Hugh Jackman going, how dare you? How fucking dare you? first of all, his politics and the under your fucking business. Second of all, he's an entertainer. You get paid to do a gig, you go do the fucking gig. That's just how it is. This idea that

you can watch movies from 20th century Fox, or you can watch Fox TV channels and watch cartoons and TV shows at home and be completely fine with that. But heaven forbid you stand closer to the actual man who pays for all those fucking things. Like, what's

your view on this? I think it's wonderful that Rupert Murdoch has got more progressive in his older years and has a gay man as a friend. He's not gay. Look, he's getting remarried. And other people were getting into him as well. They're going, he cheated on his wife. Hugh Jackman cheated on his wife. His wife was like 20 years older than him, and he met her in 1995.

People change. No, there's been a lot of grief for him. You know this. Because he's part of some cult supposedly, Hugh Jackman. Like, he's called the School of Practical Philosophy. that he sells that green liquid. We used to sell it on a podcast, that green liquid, the vegetables. And he tap dances.

Not the Vitamix cult. That's not a good, that's not a bad advert that one. He's tap dancing all the time. And the people underneath him in the apartment are like, well, what is that? Herbal life? AG1, AG1. Oh, Athletic Greens. No, no, no.

Athletic Greens. He does the Athletic Green commercials right now, and he tap dances, and the people are underneath are like this. Oh, bloody Hugh Jackman. They get a broomstick and go, dunk, dunk, dunk. And he thinks it's a game they're playing. And then he taps. afterwards.

I'm personally a big fan of, I like, listen, it's like you said, I like when people go and perform directly for the billionaire, because it's like, it's all these different layers in the way. But ultimately, once you enter into the game of big show business, you are working for billionaires. I know a lot of, this is honest. I know a lot of famous entertainers, not actors, entertainers, musicians and comedians who have done private, I tell a whole story about doing a private gig for James Packer, who is, I believe,

richest Australian on earth, right? Like, people might not like his politics or whatever. Rupert Murdoch, if he's got the money, if he wants me to come out and tell a few jokes, I'll tell a few fucking jokes for Rupert Murdoch. No problem whatsoever. I've tried to sell cartoons and TV shows to Fox for years. People at Fox, I'm ready to go. We're fucking entertainers.

He didn't get up there and give a political speech. He didn't do a fundraiser for him. and Donald Trump. And everyone was like this. They go, they go, Ivanka Trump was in the audience and she was laughing and applauding.

Well, yes, that's good. That's what you want from your audience members. That's what you want from him. Although, how would you feel if we found out he was doing his showman tunes like, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran, let's bomb Iran. Okay, the fact that you did a showman tune

and you picked a beach boy song, which has never been in a musical, was weak at best. That's a real song. Have you ever heard that song? That was a weird our song. Yes. But it was bomb Iraq.

Yeah, but it's not a musical song. Okay. You give me a fucking let's bomb Shiite Islam. Show tune. Give it to me. Come on. He finished with I Still Call Australia Home because he did the boy from Oz. And he serenaded Murdoch with I Still Call Australia Home.

And I'm all for that. Brilliant. Is that real? He really serenated. He did. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, he sang.

it to Rupert Murdoch because Rupert Murdoch is Australian, right? Not just Australian, he's from Adelaide. I just said, I just said it, this is how dumb I am. I just said a second ago, I went like this, I go, James Packer, who I think's the richest Australian. Anyway, Rupert Murdoch's Australian. I can prove myself wrong pretty quickly. I don't know how well they're doing these days.

I mean, the TV empire's kind of on the last legs. You ever watch Fox these days? All they advertise for is like life alert necklaces and dyes. diapers for adults. Well, that's all TV now. All TV now is just for old people because old people like regular TV where they switch the channels. Not like us.

We've got cool sponsors. Jack, who have we got this week? Shopify. You can't run a business without Shopify. I'm serious, though. Shopify has all the things that you need on one dashboard. You can see your ingoings. You can see your outgoings.

You can see what product inventory you have. Shopify makes shopping easy. That one was for free because I fucking meant it. off the top of the dome. So I want to talk about the Oscars. Yes. Because we do have to speed this thing along here. You know what I did when the Oscars were on?

I watched, I watched Jimmy Cars movie Fackham Hall. Fackham Hall. Fackham Hall. It's filled with puns. And a lot of people don't like puns. But it is laugh out loud funny. Look, Jimmy's a good friend of mine,

good friend of ours. We're both friends with Jimmy. and when your friends do something, you go, oh, fuck, I have to watch my friend's fucking thing, right? My comedy special coming soon. Let's call it for that category. Jimmy literally text me, and he was like,

what's going on? I've got an acting job coming up that I'll tell you all about after I've done it, right? But I've got an acting job coming up. And I go, I got an acting gig, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he goes, oh, he goes, oh, that's great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I remember, fuck Jimmy's movie.

I haven't seen his movie. And I said, so rather than watch the awesome, because I watch Fackamall and is really good. I give it four stars. Brilliant. Well, I don't even know where I can watch that yet. Is it on Netflix or? It is on I watch it on HBO Max.

Great. It's ready to go. I'm neither going to fly home. You watch it. Tell me what you think. I laughed out loud several times. Jimmy has a little cameo in it where he plays a priest who is reading a sermon that where he has no punctuation.

Right? And it is a brilliantly written fucking little bit of stand-up that he does in the thing. Really, really funny. No, it's set back in the Downton Abbey type of era, Victorian, Britain, whatever. It's set after the First World War. Well, I hope it's great because we need more comedy movies like that. They've completely left the way. Funny, funny, funny.

I would liken it to, who's the guy? It's about a hundred years old. Is it like Airplane or Leslie Nilsons? It's a little bit like that. It's more like Mel Brooks. It's silly. It's not all puns like the naked gun. It's cleverer than the naked gun, but with less sort of big jokes.

It's more subtle. Big fan. You watch it. Tell me what you think. So the Oscars were on this week and sinners got the big win there. I haven't seen sinners. It wasn't for me. Is it for you?

It's fine. It's just like the most Oscar nominations in history. I'm not quite sure that that, you know, version of from Dusk Till Dawn that they were doing there is, it's a vampire movie. Oh, it's still, but, Dust Till Dawn.

You know what I liked about Dust Till Dawn? It was like an amazing movie. And then all of a sudden, they just went, then they just went, vampires like this, right? I love when movies are like really serious drama, like something about the Holocaust and then.

See, I hated the, I hated the vampires of that movie. I thought it ruined the movie. movie. That's exactly right. It's such a bizarre film because that movie's so awesome until the vampire shop and then you're like, oh, fuck this. So I'm looking at across the movies.

I didn't really like any of the movies this year. So you had ping pong, you had vampires, one by and after another. My 13-year-old son, that's his favorite movie. And he saw it, and there was so much there was swearing. I only got into it in like the late second act and third act. I didn't sort of started a bit dull. No, I think, I think Sean Penn is a banger. that film, man. He's so good in that movie.

So I just found out something about the Oscars, okay? Right, right. What did you find out? And here we are thinking that I'm not going to attack. They all started because Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. In order to compete at the Oscars, there is a quota, I did not know this was real, of

what your movie must have to be considered. Mm-hmm. Okay? Says, so number one, the lead or significance for supporting actors from underrepresented racial or ethnic groups. At least one of the...

I will say that wasn't always a rule. That has to me... This is a newer, obviously. Now what people don't understand is like way back in the day, way back in the day, there was a woman who was African American who was nominated from Gone with the Wind, right? So it's not like this is...

We never did that, but I believe she had to come in through a different door couldn't stay at the same hotel. Well, you know who my favorite actor is. Who? Mr. Sydney Portia. Sydney Portia. Yes, Mr.

Yes, David Brett. Okay. Yes, David Brett. You got the office, Joe? Yeah, I get references throughout history, yes. At least one of the lead actors of significant supporting actors submitted for Oscar consideration is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group in a specific country or territory of production.

Okay, so I want you to see if you can get who counts. Okay. This is my game. And you can tick them off. Let's see how. many you can get. Who is an underrepresented racial or ethnic group? I thought you were going to say the nominations

of the thing and I'd have to say the person. No, no, no, just like, what groups do you think you have to have one of these? I would say New Zealanders for... I got Sam Neal, come on. He's overrepresented. They're not overrepresented. All they have

is Sam Neal and the orgs who, people don't know this. The orgs in the Lord of the Ring movie. were just female New Zealand extras. No makeup. Uncalled for. Saved all that makeup. Uncored for.

Hate speech. Absolutely hate speech. African American, black, African, and or Caribbean. East Asian. Okay. So, okay, so we go Asian, black, Latino. Hispanic or Latina. Latino?

Okay. Am I saying it wrong when I say Latino? I meant to say Latino. Latina and Latino. No. Male and female, right? Then people try and say Latinx, and no one's really caught on with that. What happens with the Spanish language when you're talking with them, they's, because

everything's gender words. Do they adapt to that? How does that work? Well, in the spirit of woke, I think they should give up their language and come over to the wokeness of English. Yeah. Well, you know what I mean? Again, an intersectional nightmare.

Okay, so I, the Spanish didn't do that? Is that anything? Okay. Okay, so I will say, so that's, that's all, all the different ones, right? Middle Eastern, Indigenous peoples, Pacific Islander, South Asian. Everyone who's not white. Everyone who's not white has to. Yes.

So you've got to have, you've got to have one in there to be counted, okay? Okay. Then the general ensemble classed, 30% of all actors not submitted for Oscar in consideration, are from at least two unrepresented groups, which may include women. What about, what about, how are women not? Dyslexic Australians who burn very easy with mild autism. Like, well, hold on. Where's my Oscar?

Hold on. Don't get ahead of me here. People with cognitive or physical disabilities, history blindness, or who are deaf or hard of hearing. What? I would, cognitive disability. I'm in. I get an Oscar.

You would count as diversity on the set because you are as, Bergersey. I was eligible for an Oscar in the movie, him as a supporting actor. Did I get nominated? I didn't check. Jack, did I get nominated? Not this year. Not this year.

Okay. And then the main storyline or theme and narrative is centered on an unrepresented group, which is women, racial or ethnic group, LGBTQ plus, people with cognitive disabilities or who are deaf or hard of hearing. Now, I understand why they put these things in here, but that surely isn't the way to make great art, is it? To have quotas to hit of what story should have. should not be about.

I'm, okay, you're going to hate me for this. I believe that representation is important, and I believe that doing this, make sure that people are noticed. It's a tricky one. It's a tricky one, because the best person for the job should be getting the job. The best person where they were. We all saw what happened in the Golden Globe. I don't care about who gets the award.

I'm just saying there's certain films, and I know they try and wedges in historically now. If I want to talk about, you know, if there's going to be some movie about Cicero and his friends, they're going to be like Romans. I'll tell you a story about when we were making legit. Now, if you saw my sitcom legit, the jit was about me, my best friend and his brother, right? That was the three main characters. Me, my best friend and his brother. And we know, you've met the real person, right, that it's based on.

You've met the real guy that it's all based on. Andrew. and his brother Dan, right? So, so I was in a meeting when we were casting and something came down from one of the people in the network and they went, they asked if one of the characters could be black out of the three. Yes.

And I said, that's impossible because they're brothers. So I could, unless it's me, unless you recast me, right? I said two of them, they can both be black. or none of them are black. And I actually had this conversation. And they're like, well, surely we could have one. No, no, they're brothers. They're genetically...

Could be different fathers. He was such a dumb. I said, how about they all be black? They can all be black. I like a movie where it's all black people like Boomerang. Do you remember Boomerang? I love Boomerang. I fucking loved Boomerang.

A lot of people, Eddie Murphy's my hero, right? When it really comes down to it, comedy-wise, my generation, Eddie Murphy were delirious and raw. I've seen every Eddie Murphy movie. And then people got into the movie boomerang because they thought it was unrealistic because all the black people in the movie were wealthy. It had backlash at the time. Really? Yeah, yeah. It was like even progressive people were saying like you're making the community look richer than it is?

Or they were saying like, black people don't have money like that? Yeah, they were like, this isn't very realistic. Where have we come from? It was a thing. You can see it in the Eddie Murphy documentary. They mentioned it in the Eddie Murphy documentary. I'm not making this up. Listen, all I'm saying is the movies this year that I watched.

I don't think. And Jack, you're a big movie guy. Get Jack on the mic here. Okay. Let's be, let's be. Come over, Jack. Show your pretty face. Because you're in the film making.

Come over, Jack. That's one of the pornos I'm making. I don't know if this is because I've gotten older because culture is discus disintegrating and we live in our niches now. Yeah. I recall a time where I had seen at least 80% of every best picture film and not just me, but every single person. We all had opinions.

We all had opinions and going into it, you actually had a movie you were writing or dying with. Like, I loved this film. This year, I look at the winners and go, I might watch that. Then what is that? What's that called? I agree. And why, why is that?

I think the movies are worse? or the marketing is gone. Marketing, I feel like, is different. And obviously, the amount of stuff getting made is drastically changed. And people also just aren't going to the theaters as much. The most profitable theater in the entire United States last year was the one in Burbank. Was it really? That's it.

The Burbank 16 was the most profitable theater in the entire world. And just, dude, I have AMC A-List. I don't even go. I didn't see anything last year. Because it is disturbing when you find out that like Netflix, for instance, is asking their writers to be able to write scripts that people are able to pay attention to while also on a phone. They call it second screen writing. Yeah. You have to write knowing someone's on a second screen.

Everything's so on the nose and terrible. I hope that's the case because my standoff will take off again. What, your good background noise standoff, mate? I'm good, yeah. Once you're going, you're still good. You can't. And everyone just. snaps back.

What's he saying? Still going on about his emeroids, is he? You do have a 15-minute amory bit, man. That is a long bit. But I'm on stage for almost, I'm on stage for an hour 40. So there's a lot of amoroids. I got like 20 minutes in your material this weekend,

including me falling on that fucking, every time I think of that Boston fall, that'll haunt me for the rest of my life now, trying to jump on that stage. Don't focus on that. You've done far worse things I can remind you of. I know, but it's just adding to the list. I have like a roller decks of shame.

that I can go through at all times. Yeah, well, it's called mine is the episode 1 to 35 of this podcast. Jack's right. Jack's right. That's a good name for a special, the Roller Decks of Shame. Roller Decks of Shame. So I want to talk about the South Australian election just because... That's when you tell each story.

I love to show how much I think... Jack thinks a roller decks is a big chocolate, spinning chocolate wheel, like at a casino. That's what he thinks a roller decks is. As in that rollo decks? He goes, you spin it, and then you tell that story. That would be the wheel of fortune of shame. Are you mean because this one's vertical, not horizontal. So I'm voting on Saturday in the South Australian election.

Yeah, you can do that. Yeah. So I love to show you what, because when I come back to Australia, you know, I love my home, but there are times where I think, God, we are pissant at times. look at the way the media attacks the Premier of South Australia for the way he was campaigning. Have we got a clip? We haven't played a clip.

I have a clip for Jack. Here we go, Jack. Roll that clip of the South Australian Premier. You served alcohol to patrons on Saturday night. As did Ashton Hearn on Friday night. Or Friday night, sorry. No, I did on Saturday night. I think Ashton Hearn did it on Friday night.

Do you have a responsibly service of alcohol certificate? I poured the beers. just as countless others politicians have before me. I enjoyed the opportunity to be out in the community just as the leader of the opposition was at a hotel in Murray Bridge on Friday night pouring beers and I very much enjoyed the opportunity to be amongst South Australians. I very much enjoyed the opportunity to be amongst South Australians

on the weekend in a way that was perfectly I think reasonable as countless other politicians have done before us, from the Prime Minister to Ashen Hearn, to me. So just to clarify, it is mandatory to serve out the whole. This fucking journalist, fuck this guy. Show your face, you prick. If you came around to my house, Mike, I'd be more than happy to pour you a beer too. And you like a lot of politicians,

and the Premier included, have been outserving beers at pubs and clubs. Do you hold a RSA? No, I don't. Is it appropriate that you're serving beers behind bars if you don't hold an RSA? Oh, I take advice from the barman. It's not as though I'm doing a shift behind the bar. It's one or two beers here and there. So, no, no problem there.

But I'll certainly be guarded by the barmen who do have their RSAs. Go and root yourself, whoever that journalist is. The fucking journalist who's trying to go, okay, first of all, I was a bartender in Australia for many years. I never knew about this certificate. this must be a recent thing because it wasn't anything in the 90s. I have been leather drunk at comedy festivals around the world, finished my show and gotten behind the bar and poured people shots and drinks and stuff like that.

Trying to catch the guy out. So if you're a person who's trying to catch out that politician like, did you have a certificate? Let's fucking delve deep into that cunt's life and see how fucking perfect he is and no mistakes are ever done. Dude, he's doing a photo op in a bar. He's never done two miles over the speed limit. You sanctimonious prick, oh, you were a pouring people are.

That's where Australia has become, by the way. That's who we are. That's the petty fascism of Australia. He wasn't saying it like, like, hey, I'm trying to catch you out of here. We're having a bit of a laugh. You don't have your stippic it, do you? You don't have his stippic. Not having fun with him.

he's going oh yeah but at the time when you actually applaud the point Australia has this image that we have tried to give to the world of being laid back and the only people who say that Australians are laid back are Australians to each other because the rest of the world doesn't look at us like that anymore because dick fucking moves like this because of it's so funny because people say well you're the convict country so wouldn't you guys be loose and it goes No, we're actually the jailer country. No, no, no, it's because we like to be controlled.

We're convicts. Tell us when to have a piss. Tell us when we can go to bed. Tell us when we can do something. Yes, master. You know what I mean? The whole world right now is, I mean, American politics is we just got lied into another war that might, you know, vaporize us all.

Yep. And like, where is the evidence that Iran was near a nuclear bomb? Meanwhile, in South Australia, you poured a beer. Do you have a certificate that takes eight minutes online to get? I got an RSA. last year. It's a lot of wank, by the way. And also, also, do you have an RSA thing? You know what's happened. I'm going to go talk to, I don't know, what he's going for Premier?

He's going for Premier, yes. He's going for Premier. And also, like, we'll win by a margin of probably 80%. Maybe the most popular man has ever been. I'm going to go speak to the Premier. What questions are you got for him? And they've Googled a bit. Oh, we caught him the other day, pouring pints. I don't reckon he'd have one, you know. I don't reckon he'd have one. A full team meeting about that. Maca.

Check it, he doesn't have one. All right, make sure you push him on that. Make sure you push him on that. Get that out there. That's what the South Australian voters are worried about. You know, we've got record. This city, by the way, I think it's top six in the world for unaffordability of houses. We've got a hospital system that's not exactly coping right now.

But the Premier poured a beer. And I think we should dedicate the evening news to that. Welcome to Kunti. Like, every journalist probably gets into the business thinking they're Seymour Hersch, and they've got to reveal great crimes. We need to do one movie where journalists are actually fucking just like writing clickbait. Because they're always like this. They're always undercovering pedophile rinks and then they're busting Nixon and they're doing all these things.

And they're always heroes. Journalists are always heroes. Why can't we just have one movie where the journalists are cunts? Instead of Mark Ruffalo, Mark Ruffalo doing an expose piece on poisoned water, it's Mark Ruffalo at a desk going, take this quiz to see which friend's character you most resemble. Do you reckon that guy comes home from work that night? He goes to his wife.

She goes, how's work, Dahl? Got him. Oh, bloody, I fucking, I got him. I got him good. I got him real good. He was, what did he do? He was serving pints and he didn't have one of those licenses that we've just introduced. Oh, good, good, good, good work, honey.

I knew that one. annoy you because I showed other Australians and they're just like, yeah. Do you want to tell the kids or should I tell the kids? They'll be so proud. No, that pisses me off that one. That one's no good. Yeah, that one gets under the fucking skin, doesn't it? I got some other ones for you that it's happening in Australia.

Right, we've got one more and then we've got to wrap it up. Okay, we do have to wrap it up. Which is better for our time? Okay, here's a serious one that I think is worth mentioning because this is happening in our country. Jack, can you please play the post? by Syrian girl. Three-year-old man arrested when he was chanting the phrase from the river to the sea to a crowd of protesters in front of him and then again to officers as he was being arrested

and a younger 18-year-old woman arrested for displaying that phrase on her shirt. Now, I must note as journalists, we are allowed to say that phrase to make fair and accurate reporting and to explain why these people have been charged. What you can't say from the land to the sea, Palestine will be free. Well, all she had on her shirt was from the river to. play the other one, Jack. Play the one of her getting frog marched out by the Jet Breeds. So an 18-year-old woman is one of the two people arrested her shirt,

had one of the banned slogans. The crowd could be heard yelling, shame as she was taken away, plenty of police surrounding her and telling our cameramen to move back at times. The maximum penalty for saying or displaying the band slogans up to two years behind bars. Man, I'm about to tour Australia. and I'm going to be doing it from the land to the sea.

I'll be doing it from all the way in Roma and central Queensland, all the way out to Brisbane to the sea, and none of the tickets will be free. Have I said too much to the land of the sea? I keep saying my show is about growing up. Yeah, growing up from Remark moving to Brighton from the River to the Sea is the name of my show this year. It is an absolute shame, okay?

Now, it's a tragedy what happened in Bonnard. die, but the idea that a young 18-year-old woman who has a social conscience and believes that there is a genocide happening in the bombings of Gaza. And even if you don't believe that, you should believe in her right to be able to believe that. The whole purpose of this, and even with the war in Iran and taking on terror groups, is that we have the liberty to speak our conscience. And that is the whole idea of the Western world is that we are able to speak our mind

through political communication. And that woman is not, she's not getting in people's face. and saying, I'm going to kill all Jews. She's saying the phrase from the river to the sea. It's the equivalent in Australia of saying always was, always will be indigenous land. We can debate the merits of whether I think that's correct, whether that's accurate, if I'm even on her side. But the moment you start telling young women like this, you can't wear a t-shirt with a phrase, you've completely lost the pot. And also, the people booing her, I think they were booing the cops.

They were booing her away. No, they were booing the cops. No, they were doing the cops. Oh, they weren't booing her. That's a shocking look to have some girl. They want to put her in prison for two years because she has from the river to the sea. She doesn't even have the Palestine will be free bit. How authoritarian or welly in is that?

Well, so she was good looking girl. She was a bit rough, I'd understand, but bloody hell. What a type of country are we become? My girlfriend did say that. She goes, oh, suddenly you understand the Palestinian cause because this is a thin, young, cute girl wearing the shirt. If a fat lesbian had that shirt, I'd be like, Israel has a right to exist. If she had it over the back of a pair of hot pants,

the whole crowd would have been arrested for chanting it. Hot pants, I call them. Yes, I really hope that that gets dropped. But these are the kind of hate speech laws that are coming in Australia. This is the thing is if they start arresting people for t-shirts like that, the pushback will be worse. Way worse. They are shooting themselves in the foot.

They are playing into the fucking. hands. Like as soon as you go, oh, I'm arresting you for that. Get the fuck out of here. But also, I mean, how about you go into, I mean, there are Islamic preachers, by the way, who do talk about, you know, killing Jews, killing infidels. They're not

getting arrested. This is the thing. These are the people. Easy target. And also, the fact that the fucking reporter has to go, I'm allowed to say the phrase, because I'm saying it in context. Come on. I'm saying it in context. I'm allowed to say the phrase. All right. Why don't you say the word when the

guy had the Tourette's at the Bafters. Why don't you say that in context? They didn't see here you say that in context. He yelled out while there were two black men on stage. And again, I am just, I am allowed to say this because I'm just reporting the facts. Yeah, I'm allowed to say it. I'm going to say it rapidly ten times. I guarantee you if this chick was out there saying,

Heil Hitler, Heil Hitler, he wouldn't say that. Yeah, yeah. I'm allowed to say it. I'm allowed to say it because I've watched a few episodes of a low-a-low. And I'm just quoting that. Even this journalist knows, like, it's kind of silly, isn't it? this phrase from the river to the sea. Yeah, we're allowed to say from the river to the sea.

You're not allowed to say from the river to the sea. Get the fuck. So we say this thing always was always will be Aboriginal land. I want to call this episode from the river to the seawood. That's a good tour. From the river to the seward. The rolladex of shame to the river to the seward. Welcome to Cunty.

These are all my names that I've come up with, ready to go. But that is absolutely, I felt true shame when that went global. By the way, because we just had these Iranian women who are soccer players turn up in Australia and we've given them asylum because we're like, hey, you can be free here. And then I just like the idea of them taking off their burkers and having a T-shirt that says from the river to the sea. And they go, hey, we're not that free. Get back to the boat. It's always the best thing. Whenever the Commonwealth Games are on in Australia, the best event is always the people just like, like they finish the marathon.

And then they just keep running into the bush. There's all these people who claim asylum. They just escape. They just, the games are over. Their events are over. Their real event is, yeah, that's where you pick up ping pong. It's not the gold medal they want. It's refugee status, yeah.

All right. We do have to go. Jim has a baseball draft. I have a baseball draft. It's very important. Look, there's 11 other men. I have an appointment. And we did now and a half.

That's what's happening at this moment. Ladies gentlemen, appreciate you listening. Tune in next week for more hot takes. Good night, Australia. He's Franz Ferdinand, and I'm Gavrilo Prinship. Oh, don't call me Franz Ferdinand. Someone will kill me, and I'll start a game of football. All right, goodnight, Australia.

Take us out. The guy in the red and black jersey didn't even get it.
