Welcome to a bonus podcast from Jono and Ben on The Hits. Jamila, lovely to see you. Hello, lads. Hello, hello. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Hey, it's really nice to see you. Now, I hear the stunts in She-Hulk were pretty hard out. You had a wonderful quote that I read.

I don't know if it's safe for radio, but you're hurting places. Oh, no. Oh, what's going on, mate? It was a literal pain in the ass, shall I say. It was a literal pain in the ass, yeah. No, I pulled a muscle in my bum and I felt it all the way into the hole. So I actually spoke about that once and now it's taken over my entire life. It's the first thing that pops up when you Google you and She-Hulk.

But anyway, that's fine. Maybe we can create another moment in this interview that tops that Google search somehow. I can sense you're both trouble and I can feel like that's about yeah that's that's what we're doing it for mate now obviously on the show you're the nemesis of she hulk and you get a traffic violation but in real life you also kind of should have got a traffic violation because you ended up running into a beehive what happened there what do you oh yeah i mean i've had so many altercations of bees i feel like it's my final destination story i went for a run once because i was jealous that ted damson had more energy than me uh on set at the good place so he told me that i should start jogging and so i went for my first

ever jog and i'm very very tall and i must have disrupted a beehive that's on this tree on this little island in las cienega and uh they just swarmed on me and so I had to run into oncoming traffic and I kept running they kept chasing me they chased me for ages and so I ran down a street called third street in Los Angeles and I saw a crowd of people smoking outside a bar yeah and I uh you know it's really in an emergency that you find out what a piece of shit you are. I ran at all of these people with all my bees and the bees descended on them and I got away unstung. So, you know, I was like, well, they're smoking. They don't care about their lives.

They're already on the way out. Yeah. Who was I to make that decision? You said you've had, you you know a number of altercations with bees like how many altercations can one human have i don't know man give a fuck let's talk about marvel exactly yeah now who cares the titania the role that you got you didn't even know you were auditioning for that role like when you turned up yeah no idea yeah no idea whatsoever yeah i know it was wild and i mean it could have been marvel porno for all i knew that's the next step isn't

i signed on i mean who knows but um but i uh i didn't know what i was signing up for and thankfully it was a fully closed role and it was the best like my favorite at least villain in the mcu and now it's changed my life and i've never done a more ridiculous or exciting thing ever what if it was marvel porno would you have been like i can't do this this is not good too late i'll be contracted give me any of them what was what was harder the fight scenes in-Hulk or DJing for Elton John with no DJ experience? I mean, what was harder? Fight scenes. Oh, really?

Yeah, because Elton John's a lovely man. Yeah, he's not going to punch you in the face, is he? No, he's not. He's a lovely man. I love Elton. No, I'd say that someone as clumsy as me, who's just got no coordination whatsoever. I mean, look at my elbows

like this is not they're good elbows what's wrong with the elbow they've been quite far back don't they are they double jointed yeah i'm so double jointed i'm super clumsy and so i you know it was we were asking for trouble i don't know how we got me through it alive but i properly learned how to kick the shit out of someone. So don't mess with me, either of you. Oh, we won't. We won't. I reckon that would be such a great superhero power

as you're like, look at my double-jointed things and you can just wave them around to distract them. Final question we just want to ask you before we go because we've been told to wrap up. I mean, you've been in The Good Place. You're now on a Marvel TV show. I mean, what's your biggest pinch yourself moment in your career so far?

Because you're kicking goals. My whole career has been pinch me, like to be honest. Like when I was standing outside the Marvel premiere and I saw this sort of like 30 foot poster of myself, it was just the wildest experience. Never in my, I've been such a loser my whole life i can't believe that i'm now in the mcu it's so ridiculous and so listen i have no idea where i'm going i

honestly don't know what i'm doing i don't know how i ended up here i was an english teacher who got discovered like it's just been it's been like i've crashed a wedding and i'm just here stealing cake and snogging everyone until someone kicks me out well this has definitely probably been another pinch yourself moment for you John being on the hits radio in New Zealand it's definitely been an experience it's so lovely to meet you it's such a great show we love it
