Hello and welcome to Memory Lane. I'm Jen Bristair and I'm Kerry Godleman. Each week we'll be taking a trip down Memory Lane with our very special guest as they bring in four photos from their lives to talk about. To check out the photos we'd be having a natter with them about, they're on the episode image and you can also see them a little bit more clearly on our Instagram page. So have a little look at Memory Lane podcast. Come on, we can all be nosy together.

This is terrible, terrible. Wait a second. Am I connected to this microphone? This is why I offered to sing so that we could drown out you having a technical breakdown. Yeah, I know, I am having a technical breakdown. Hang on a second. So audio, is it working? Sounds like you're here.

Sounds like you're in the room. That's what you've chosen to do with this elevated sound quality. Make that noise. Yep, that's what I'm doing it. That's how you've decided to enjoy superior sound experience. My stomach isn't right since I got to America What time is it? Oh, because of food shit.

What time is it there? 20 to 10 in the morning. Yeah. Did you have a gig last night? I did have a, yeah, I had two shows last night. I had an early show and a late show. And what was the venue? It's the Union Hall in Brooklyn.

It's quite small. It's not very big. Oh, my stomach is really doing some wild things. Let's not say negative things like small. Let's say intimate. But that's your projection that small is negative. I would say. You said it as a, yeah, but it was a small room.

You put the butt in. Well, I was putting the button because when you say hall, it sounds like, oh my God, you're in a whole. I see. Yes, I see. And I just wanted to clarify people listening. I wasn't performing in a hall. I was performing in a little room. That's interesting, isn't it?

Yeah. The word hall would suggest a hall. Oh, God, she's like Carnegie Hall. And then people are like, Bristair's absolutely killing it there. She's in the equivalent of Carnegie. No. You know I'm going to tell everyone she were playing Carnegie Hall in New York. I mean, in a way, if everyone listening to the truth and lies, who cares?

Yeah, exactly. I mean, is it, it's a mild exaggeration. And yet the main one is a benign one? benign one. No, it's a victimless exaggeration. It's a victimless exaggeration and also we're not, it's not really a lie. I am in New York and I did perform in a hall. Yeah. So actually, 75% of that, that's correct. If, if, you know, world leaders can make shit up. Oh, fuck me. I can tell everyone I played at Carnegie Hall for sure. It's a mild crime. Oh, I tell you what is some wild crime. The food here. Honestly, I cut my stomach. What's inside you now? What are you

digesting now? I had last night, I got into New York from Boston and I had a sort of like a muffany egg thing at the station, which was truly awful, like greasy. Yeah, I was like, you know when your body's like going, you didn't want that. You really wanted a salad. And then I had a coffee and you know when you have like greasy food with a coffee, then your stomach goes, what are you doing? Yeah, you can have a whole dialogue with your gut bio. My gut biome has been talking to me for a long time. So I had about three and a half hours on a train thinking,

try not to do a poo on here. It's probably not the best place to go. I know, but when you've got a poo, you've got a poo holding you. Like it's a whole other forum of pain. Exactly. But the feeling, the feeling of immediacy left, you know, that feeling that you get, you're like, well, a bit like Paris. Yes, I was going to say, I remember that when I was travelling.

You just cork your ass and breathe through it, babe. Breathe through your nose. Don't cough for the love of Christ. Anyway, I finally got to New York. New York! Yeah. It's like Alicia Keys is on the podcast, isn't it? She's been on the podcast more than once now.

I've got this humongous bag with me, which I'm having to manage on the. the subway and all of that. And I finally get to my hotel in Brooklyn and I've dumped my bags. And then I'm tired. I'm just tired because I've basically done New York, D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, back to New York, okay, in like five days. Okay, so I'm...

That is crazy. Crazy. Tired, okay? So I think to myself, I should really go out and get something healthy to eat, get something to eat. But then I thought, I'll just have a little love. down. You know when you do, just have a little lie down? Oh, that is jet lag. And then I had a little, I had a little nap. And then I woke up. And I only really ever had an hour to spare. And then I was like, oh, fuck, I've got to get ready to go to the bloody venue. So on the way to the venue,

there was a soul, this is what I love about America. They'll stick any two things together. It's soul food and Korean food mixed together. Uh-oh. That doesn't sound like a fusion I'd want to get involved in. It's a core soul. And, uh, um, No, you're not into it? Anyway, to be fair, I had a chicken, I had a chicken salad. That's like a stir-fried buttee, no. That was almost exactly what I had. So it was a fried chicken and then they put like,

there's loads of kind of grated carrot and then sort of like salad-y stuff. But it was like very greasy and then it put it in a baggett because I couldn't, there wasn't, I couldn't just go and stop. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. But then I thought. Acceptable in a wrap, not acceptable. acceptable in a bagget. No, it's too much bread. And then what I did was, I was like, I knew that something was up with my gut. So I went, I have some kimchi on the side. Whoa. You took your guts to a theme part, mate. Holy Christ. You took them on the roller coaster. I woke up this morning and my stomach went, why do you hate me? Why is what is wrong with you? Why do you? Why are you working against us when we're trying to work for you?

But I think kimchi is supposed to be good for your gut, isn't it? Yeah, but not on top of all that. shit. I just want a bowl of soup with some vegetables in it. I hate that feeling when you're away and you're like, if I could just have some comfort food, if I could just eat some home cooking food. I just want a home cooking food. Everyone's like, have you trying a bagel? What about this sandwich?

They're obsessed with pancakes, those guys. Yeah, I don't like pancakes and I don't want any more bread. They're obsessed with them. And they don't know about one or two. They give you a fucking pile of the damn things. No, they pile them on top of them. Oh, I tell you what, I went to this. I did go to a really nice restaurant, actually, in D.C.

And I had Lebanese rice. It was absolutely incredible. Oh, what's that? But this woman next to me, it was like rice, and then it has like lentils and vegetables, and then they put a Friday on top. Oh, that sounds nice. I don't know if it is Lebanese, but it tasted delicious.

The woman next to me, I swear to God, she had a pile of pancakes, went up to her chin. Incredible. Maybe it was a chin rest. I thought, she wasn't even leaning forward. I was like, you don't need that many pancakes. She was very skinny, she was very young. I was like, there's no way she's going to plastic those.

I didn't stop to. She made a dent. She made a dent. I'd have stayed. I'd have stayed to see it out. What, missed your, Mr. Flight. Yeah, that's like a box set. That's like, I'm seeing this out.

I'm going right to the finale. We're in this together now, babe. Halfway. I've got to see how this ends. You can do it. You can. Live streaming. This woman eating a plan.

I feel like every fucking meal is, you know those shows where they go, can he eat, can he finish that competitive eating? Every meal I love that in America competitive eating. I reckon every single meal they give to you is on the assumption that you're not going to eat it and you're going to take half of it home.

Oh yeah, because they box it up. We don't do that here, do we? No, so I'm halfway through the meal. They were like, would you like in a bag set up? I was like, what, like half a spaghetti bowl and aides about the hotel room? I don't think so.

You should. That's what you should. should be doing. Because then you want to eat. Yes, because then you want to be eating the other shit when you're on the hoof and you're starving hungry. Because you think, wait there, I've got that spag bowl in my bag. Oh yeah, that cold spag bowl that's leaking in my bag.

Yeah. Sounds delicious. Sounds delicious. You had this. It sounds better than the Manky bat that you were talking about. But to be fair to the Korean soul people, if you're listening, it was an incredible food. They did these chicken wings as well. absolutely outstanding.

I think it was more that I just didn't want fried chicken, Kerry. I didn't want anything fried. I hear you. I wanted some vegetable soup. The last time I came here, it was like a, what feels like a year ago, it was only about five days ago.

I was in Williamsburg. I was like, oh, where's Williamsburg? They were like, it's Brooklyn. I was like, oh. Is that by the river? That's by the river, isn't it? By the river. It's beautiful.

So beautiful. Really, really hit. Yeah. And you're not there anymore. Yeah, so they pushed you out. They push me out, yeah. They were like... Now where are you?

I'm near Park Slope, this time in Brooklyn, which is, I think, the area where a lot of the lesbos go. There's a lot of... Oh, you'll be right? Yes. Make friends with some lesbos that will cook you see in there. I've seen quite a few mid-ledged people bobbing about here.

Whereas in Williamsburg, I was like, oh, I don't belong here at all. Everyone's like 19. Or wandering around with a pencil moustache. That's just the lesbians. You've got to like, you know... I just not cool. I can't pull off a point.

pork pie hat. So, um, have you tried? Have I tried? Before you shut this down, I want to know that you've had a go. Kerry, if I came back with a pork pie hat and a pencil and stash, what would you say? I'd be like, it's the new gen. I love it. I don't think you would. I don't think you would. I think there'd be an intervention of sorts. Yeah, but it'd be fun though, wouldn't it? Anything that is just a laugh, let's go for it. Yeah, let's just do it. Okay, who are we talking to today, Jen? Today we are talking to the Marvel. That is Felicity Ward.

I can't believe we got her. I can't believe we got her. And she's so busy. Yeah. And she did actually fit us in to her very busy schedule. And it was really exciting time as well for her. It is a really exciting time for Flick. And also just to see someone who's worked so hard and just to have, I mean, like she would argue.

Because you're trying to talk you out of that. But we will say she. She's smashing it. But right now I feel like she's totally smashing it. Anyway, it was really great chat, and this is us talking to the wonderful Felicity Ward. Right, let's get this fucking show on the road. These are good pictures.

Flex, it's really good to have you here. Mate, it's just lovely to spend time with a pair of you. It's honestly, I'm just been watching you from afar with joy. Let's start with your first photograph. Where it all began. Where it all began in beautiful Australia. Where did you grow up in Australia? I grew up in a place called the Central Coast

and the picture that we're looking at is actually Kill Care Beach but I lived for the first 10 years. Oh my gosh, this picture. It's unbelievable, isn't it? I don't even know. I don't even know what's happening here for this seat, but I want to know. I can unpack every single part.

I forgot, I went on Facebook because I live over here. I don't have a lot of my own own stories. Yeah, summer at Mum's house, you know, probably got mulled under a bed. I'm just joking, we don't have mould in Australia. But I went through Facebook and my auntie, and that is my auntie in that picture. I don't know where to start. Okay, it was my auntie's wedding day.

I hope that's what. Obviously. I mean, if it wasn't a wedding picture, I don't know what the fuck's going on. That's a regular beach day. That's what that is. We've got swimmers under that. This is what we're all. You're a bridesmaid, flower girl.

I'm a flower girl. My sister who is on my auntie's lap is also a flower girl and that is my other cousin. My sister is the eldest on my mum's side of 12 cousins. We all grew up on the same road except for Auntie Jenny there lived around the corner. So there's 15 years between my mum, who is the eldest, and her youngest sister. So by the time we were born, her sisters were old enough to babysit us. And then by the time we were old enough to babysit them, they had kids. like mum's yes

so it was all it was quite like it was a very un-Australian but like an un-English way to be brought up Yeah yeah Well not in this century But I mean in olden times Yeah yeah yeah

So my mum's English She was born in Weymouth She went over there when she was five My Wow what took her over there? She just hated my parents Her parents and left No my

They were called 10 pound poms I don't know if you know They did his TV drama They did Guess who didn't get a part on that truck. It came down to me and one other person. Not a big deal. Not a big deal. My grandpa was in the British Navy and then they went over and then he was a part of the, he joined the Australian Navy. So he worked in radars and stuff like that. And they went to Darwin

when they first moved there. Wow, that's a place. Which is like the most, if you, like the most hardcore city of the most Australian you can be. It's so hot. It's so humid. It's equatorial. There are crocodiles, not that. far out of town. They're a huge sea crocodiles. You can't swim in the sea in Darwin and you can't get, in fact you can't get in the water in Darwin because something will kill you.

There's like box jellyfish and then there's crocs. But you can go to like waterfalls. Oh, sure. You just got to do a scan first. Make sure there's no tails. I mean, all the wildlife stuff is pretty terrifying in Australia. Yeah, you get used to it. So this, so this is.

What beach is this? This is Kill Care Beach and what you're looking at behind my family is it's called the Rockpool. And so right next to it is Kill Care Beach, which is a surfing beach and has these wild waves. But then this is like this little serene pond that we would all swim in. It's a rock pool. Yeah. Oh, lush. Yeah, it was heaven. I've spent hours and hours there and I've taken my boy there and it's probably my favorite place on the whole planet.

Oh, wow. It does look. I mean, Australia is absolutely stunning. And this is a real Muriel's wedding kind of wedding, isn't it? It's a real Muriel's wedding. Muriel's a terrible Muriel. The other reason that I brought this up is because my sister and I were, our whole household, massive neighbours fans, right?

Huge neighbours fans. Sure. So when Kylie and Jason got married, we were allowed to wear our flower girl dresses and eat dinner in front of the TV. and we were never allowed to eat dinner in front of the TV. That is wild. So that was a very, very big day. What a treat.

And did you get to crimp your hair again? Was that crimps or perm? That's happening there. That's a crimp. You better believe it's a crows. Oh, and your crown of lovely flowers. So my auntie used to design. She was a designer, a clothes to designer as well.

And so everything was like very 80s that we wore. And my mum could make clothes to. I love this. This is Pete. She might have actually made these flower girl dresses. I've got a feeling. She must have. This is her area. And these are special.

But this is so 80s, isn't it? Baskets and ribbons. Like you can almost hear like a synthesized drum in that picture. You know what I mean? Yeah. Just not that long after Diana's wedding. Because the wedding dresses were caught on everyone's lips. Remember how big her dress was?

Oh, it was massive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mareng. Coming out of that coat. So much dress. Yes. So much dress. I mean, I think that set the bar for 80's weddings.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she did a lot of damage. Then this is some of the fallout. This is... Right here in this picture. I love that you enjoyed getting dressed up though for this. I enjoy getting dressed up for everything. Carly and Jason's day.

Yeah, well then when I was a grungy teenager, I wore my sister's dress with like... Converse, the alternative, the alternative, to like a gig. Did you? I get that though, because that's the slight pretty and pink vibe. Yeah, yeah. Yes. Okay, so we had a beta max.

We didn't have a VHS. Of course. So there were 12 videos that we were allowed to get from the video store. And my mum would not let us watch Home and Away because they said bitch once or they said, shut up. Like we didn't swear in our house. But we were allowed to watch Pretty and Pink and Who's That Girl? So we always had a wicker basket that had like, we had a dress up box at all times. That is the best thing for kids.

Oh my God, I can't believe. And then make up your own dressing up box. I had a dressing up box. I gave my daughter a dressing up box. She wasn't interested. Although I've got a good picture of her in a tutu. Okay. So it's worth it for that.

My boys did do the dressing up for a while, but now that they're 10, they're just... Yeah, no, they've got roadblocks. Why the fuck would they want to dress up? I'm looking at this picture, and this would have been my mum's dream that I got dressed up with something like this. Yeah. I had to go to... I don't think it was a wedding, but some sort of a party. And my mum put me...

Not in like that, because that's a bridesmaid's dress, but a very similar dress. And there is a picture of me... I've seen it. No, that's when I'm 16. With my hair just like all over the place where I was pulled out all the... you know, things of my mum's, ribbons and things of my clips, and my mum's plaited it, and I pulled out all the plaits. I took off the dress.

I'm just in my underpants screaming. Your happy place. Not a lot has changed. Nothing has changed, Flick. But this is adorable. And now I kind of feel bad that I didn't give my mum that. That would have been lovely. Look how cute you look.

You look adorable. That's every mum's dream. That is every mum's dream, isn't it? Having your little girls dressed up like that? What was weird was up until I was, I suppose I was like, five or six and there was a time where I would only wear pink and then a very hard gear shift into aggressive tomboy for years. Right. What was that? I don't know. I'm sure there's some trauma there to explore. I don't know. Maybe you wanted your dad's attention. Anyway,

it doesn't matter that I still love cricket. It doesn't even matter that I can fish. It's not important that I had an undercut my choice. And I didn't know I was bisexual to 41. Okay, mate. All right, that's adorable. Oh yeah, yeah, well come on to that later. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What were you like when you were this kid in this picture? What sort of... I'm exactly

the same. Really? I was my tantrums were worse then. I still have them but I don't act out as badly. Right. But I was always loud attention-seeky, imagination. entertaining, performing? Well, I would like to think so, but let me tell you, in 2014, I made a documentary that was about mental health,

and we filmed a scene with my dad and my mum and my sister at my grandma's house, and there was like a lull in conversation, because they were trying to get a context of where I was from. And the director just asked, so, was Felicity always funny? My mum, my sister and my dad, in unison without looking at each other, Like reaching for a cup of tea just went, no. And I'm like, eh? But that's families. And then I said to mum, I'm like, so if I wasn't funny when I was a kid, when did I start

getting funny? She goes, I don't know. When you started stand up, I'm like, I was 27. She's like, yep. I'm like, fuck and hell. Because that's families. They're always going to cut you down. Yeah, that's true.

And also, you know, my brothers would say the same thing to me. And my kids say it to me. My kids say to me. You're not funny. My daughter said, you're not funny. I don't know how he pulled this off. Do you know what? I wanted to tell you this.

My sons just started saying that's me. I'm like, I'm funny. I've got a whole routine out of it. You're not funny. You're not funny. Did your kids find you funny when you were younger? Oh yeah, sure. I could make a laugh when I was younger.

But the worst she does the worst thing now is I'll crack a joke. I think it's funny. I'll laugh. And she'll go. Oh, no. And then she'll go cracking yourself up there. And you're like, yeah. Cracking yourself up there.

I am cracking myself up there. That's how I make a career. How else do you think I get the confidence to get on stay? Don't look for support from your family. That's the key. Your sister's still in Australia, is she? All of them are still in Australia. All of them are still in the Central Coast.

We were, oh look, if you'd asked me 15 years ago what we were, that would be a different answer to what I think now. What I will tell you is when we're all together, we were very, very funny. And we always used to make each other laugh. and dinner was like very, very funny. But there was also like some, there wasn't a lot of tenderness. There wasn't a lot of the other stuff.

I don't think that's an uncommon thing to say in the UK. Yeah. I always, it always fascinates me as like, I'm not trying to be mean, but you know when people like, oh yeah, we never talked about feelings in our house? I'm like, yeah, duh, who did? No one did. Like, whose family talked about feelings? No.

And especially in the area of humour, Because it's, and as well kind of like, the British working class bant, if you like, is cruel. It can be hard and it can cut people down and it doesn't have space for, oh, sorry, did I hurt your feelings? It's like, ah. Yes, gotcha. You're like, I'm sick. It's like verbal dead arms all day long, basically. Do you know what I mean?

So that's the vibe. And if you've got that in your family, you can all be funny. Yeah. But it can be mean and it can hurt. It was mean and funny. It was both of those things. So it was like, it's not all good or all bad. And I don't think I would be a comedian if my family wasn't as funny as they were.

The early gigs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, real tough crowd. And there was, I mean, there was no, there was no like, oh, it's her first gig. Let's see how she goes. You got good real quick. Yeah, yeah. Get funny real quick. Yeah.

Did your family do this thing where you take it in turns to like rip one person and then you just had to take it? Or was it like just going around? Because for me it was like, oh, it's your turn. So I guess we're all going to just, you know, make you cry. Have you got brothers, haven't you? Yeah, I've got three brothers. You'd go, and you'd feel it when it was your turn. You'd be like, no, no, no, it's my turn.

It's coming. Yeah. And there's no part of you that thinks, oh, this is meant affectionately. You're like, no. No, there's no part. We were all just ready at any time for anyone to slip up. There are words that we still say because my dad mispronounced it incorrectly. once. He tried to say Carol King once and he said,

Car King. And so we were just, anytime someone couldn't think of something, we're in Carol King forever. We were like, oh, you bit Car King? He's like, yeah, big Car King. Always. Or once, I still, he couldn't think of the word bric-a-brac. And it went for, I remember my sister and I looking at him and we were in our 20s. This isn't And he's like, yeah, we went to that little shop and it's got, it sold, you know, just, um, uh, and it, um, and it, um, uh, uh, bric-a-brac. And by the time he said bricoback,

it was all over forever. You can never say bric-a-brac. Anytime anyone stuttered for a second, we're like, brigger-brack, constant, constant. And it'll be, also, we couldn't believe that he was still thinking. And it just kept, gubernate. and getting longer and longer. I can see the word bric-a-brac sliding out of your brain. Yeah, yeah. But honestly, these are things that are part of being in a family, especially a big family, where I've got a similar thing

with my brother once asked to pass the potatoes, but he did it in a weird way. He went, excuse me, would you mind passing the potatoes? And we were like, hey. And then from now on, it's almost like, excuse me, if it's not too much trouble, would you mind passing me? I hope it doesn't bother you.

The potatoes. And honestly, we're still doing it. And it's 30 years later. But it's that sort of stuff like, so I think it's a bit, it's disingenuous for your founders and say that you didn't make them love because you clearly did. I was talking to someone a couple of weeks ago

just about phrases, if I can. I keep a note of them because they're, this is my, okay, this is so specific to anyone who grew up in an Australian beach town. And it's so aggressive. And it's not until I tell other people where people are like, why do you have a word for that? if someone gets out of the sea

like ocean you come out of the ocean you've been for a swim if someone like taps your ankle and then rolls you in dry sand that is called crumb cutleting crumb cutleting what do you mean taps your ankle it's just like an aggressive like if you're like running out and someone goes ha ha ha and like we pull you on

trips you up like takes their foot and taps the back of your foot and then you fall over because you're wet and you get sand all over and a crumb cutlet is a lamb that you cover in breadbread Yeah, yeah. That's just crumb cutleting. Just a, why do we have a word for that?

Well, why not? A great question. Why not? We couldn't do it in Brighton, could you? You couldn't crumb cutlet anyone speak about. No, you go to hospital. Yeah, you'd been. Oh, I rolled you in stones.

Oh, yeah. Are you? Hello? Listen to. Hello? I was crumb cutling in you, mate. Yeah. On an ambulance.

She's 16. No, no. He's got that kind of, I've had a few. Here's the thing. I am so bad at pot, at marijuana. It has never been my drug. And yet I've tried so many different ways to give it a crack. Give it another go.

And I do know at that festival, but I don't know if it was that. I think that I just look stoned there. I don't know if. if I am stoned. You look very chilled and happy. So I just thought maybe you're... So I probably is stoned because I'm not a chilled person. And what does that t-shirt say?

I'm a... It says I'm a goodie. So that's the other thing you need to know about Australia. The goodies were huge, the TV show. Oh yeah, the goody, yuddy, yum ya. Yeah. Billotti, Tim, all of them. Yeah, it played for...

Well, darn, the menopause is... It's weird what's in and what's out with the menopause. Well, what's left? Because those three are in. Well, yeah, but I go. I'm with your dad like Brickabrat. Passwords. Ow.

Brickabrat. Full name of the goodies in. In. Essentials only. I forgot the goodies were absolutely huge. They played them for decades on the ABC. I loved them when I was a kid. It was big here and then it just went away.

And it stopped. Madness. It was wonderful. Again, sketch. I loved it. Yeah. You know, it was weird and zip up costumes and giant cats. Was there a big foot?

There's a giant cat. Like a cat. So where it went away here and everyone went on about the Monty Python. for you guys it carried on big. Yeah, yeah. So that was, as you can see in the picture, there's a pair of cut off cargo shorts, Army shorts, which is very of its time.

So I'm going to say this is 96, I reckon. Oh, I had a pair of cargo shorts. Army shorts. Of course you did. Yeah, we ordered. Of course you did. Now, that shirt is hand painted. So that was a shirt that I got from a second hand store.

And then I don't know if I made a stencil to say I'm a goodie. Oh, you did that. Oh, I love this crafting situation. But it's amazing. But that's what you were when you were like an indie grunge kid. It was all like handmade stuff. Yeah. I was painted my kickers.

I remember having my kickers and then they were like white or cream. And then I painted them leather paint and put flowers on and did psychedelic flowers on my. Yeah, man. Yeah. It did that. It was the time. It was the time. I did that on a pair of jeans.

I like cover them with psychedelic flowers. Yeah. They looked shit. Not at the time. They didn't. I bet you look great at the time. I mean, fair enough. I never thought the bucket hat would come back.

I never left. The bucket hat never left me. What? I have three. Oh, I really can't get on board with a bucket hat. Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Glastonbury's a struggle for you, isn't it? Because it's bucket hat a go-go there. Oh, I don't like them. I don't like the furry ones. I don't like the... Oh, no, the fairy ones can go fuck itself.

I want no part of the furry ones. I'm talking... Yeah, it's great. And also in Australia, bucket hat is perfect. It's perfect. It falls up. It doesn't like... I know. It doesn't make sense. But if you wear a top, not quite a lot, it's really problematic. I mean, yeah, you appreciate the choir over you. So are you talking about you're not like a bucket hat because you can't wear a bucket hat or you don't like other people.

Also, they just bring out a judgment in me that I just think if you came through the night. Yeah, it's the like, it's the wanka hat. See, I spent so much, my entire teenage years were spent at music festivals. That is why I picked that picture because it's the music festival that I went to like four or five times in a row. And it was like a hippie festival. I went there instead of going to schoolies, which is where, you know, at the end of high school, everyone goes like a week somewhere. And they usually go to the Gold Coast, which is this horrific place where hope and virginity goes to die. And I leaned so hard into this identity of being original and unique.

I stopped listening to music if my friends started listening to them. Wow. Because I was part of the popular girls, but me and my best friend Shannon were in a band. we were the two like indie girls in the popular group. So there was another time that my girlfriend, a very dear friend of mine said was Exit the Dragon Urge Overkill's first or second album. And I said it was their third and stopped listening to Urge Overkill.

Like I was an asshole of the highest order. Do you know what I found? This is like let me fess up what an asshole I am. So there was a brand called Sports Girl, which was very popular with, with pretty popular girls. I wrote a list of 100 ways to be a sports girl. And it was all of the things like must have lip gloss,

must be obsessed with a boy, must put love hearts above your eyes instead of dots. Like it was just like, basically it was just what it's like to be a teenage girl that's fun and makes you feel girly. But I was so scared of being girly. I was so afraid of... Why? I don't know.

But this is like, because I was a tomboy, and then like got to high school and all of a sudden your body was a currency being a girl was a currency I didn't go through puberty till I was like 15 I didn't get my period till I was 15 I didn't get boobs until I was 16 or 17 so it was like flat chested and that all of a sudden over one summer I was a sea cup which have developed lovely into a double h what a joke of a size like put me in 1920s American dust bowl you know like I'm a traveling circus act at this point but I was so It's so, I feel so sorry for all the girls that were friends with me, who I found out were scared of me. Oh, why? Because you're a cunt. And it all came from this jealousy.

I saw that they had boyfriends and they knew how to like tuck their hair behind their ear in a cute way. And I was like, God, I'd love to do that. I'm like, well, I'm going to learn a guitar instead. So fuck you. It's funny, isn't it, that we wrap our identities around all this sort of emotional turbulence. Yes. And we don't have the language. and we don't have nothing.

We don't know anything. All we've got is hormones. Yes, and so we convert it into like jealousy and rage. Yes. If I can't explain it, I'll just, I'll just call them all cups. Yeah, it's just easier. Yeah, it's like you can't just be, you have to push everyone else away and make it a statement. Whereas if there was always a couple of people at, like when I was at college,

there was always like one person who was like, yeah, I'm just me. And I'm not, I'm not going to fit. Yeah. Absolutely. I would watch them from afar going, wow, you look so comfortable in your own skin. You're wearing clothes that nobody else thinks is cool, but you look cool in it because you're wearing it and you feel great. And I was like deeply in the closet, really didn't know what my identity was. Definitely wasn't a girly girl.

I didn't know what the fuck I was. So I was also spending my time, you know, in an anger bubble. But you, that's really, that's really our brand for you. We're learning a lot today. So here is the weird thing is that I was fairly terrified of the concept of sex, but I was obsessed with boys unhealthily. Like I look back at diaries and like, well, someone should have been in therapy. And part of it was just the fantasy and limerence. Limerance is a word I didn't learn until about four or five years ago.

I'm like, that would have made my life a lot easier. What does it mean? Limerance is a disproportionate longing or yearning for. someone that isn't reciprocated or that is disprocated. A specific individual or just anyone. But that's very addictive. Yes, exactly. So you attach your affections to people that weren't reciprocating. A hundred percent. And I, my approach, I was like, I know how I get a boyfriend. What I do is I just aggressively, just incinerate these boys in my class, emotionally, spiritually, that that'll get them on side. What, love bomb them or like, no, no. Oh, right.

I mean, most them. I can remember, oh, dead arming. I remember dead arming a boy that I love. with words. And he was like, ah, and you're like, hey, right? He's like hobbling away.

Yeah, that'll work. I'm like, oh, we're having fun, right? Now you know I love you, right?

No, but I've got a bruise. Yeah, and now please leave me alone. Forever. When you say, leave me alone,

do you mean, marry me? Is that what you make? Let's go to the next picture. Is that with you? Is that with Celia Pacola and this in the middle. That is Alison Bice.

So I picked this picture because this whole period was wild. No, I don't mean like I was drinking. It's actually the opposite. So this was sort of the beginning. How do I put this? About 18 months before this picture, I left my fiancé, stopped drinking

and moved back and with my mum. Wow, that is 27. Yeah. That is big. Don't worry. I've written an award-winning show about it. And obviously. And so I didn't start stand-up until I was 18 months sober,

until I'd stopped drinking 18 months after. And this is, so Alison is in the middle. I haven't told Seals that I've put this picture up. I hope that she'll be right. So Alison was doing stand-up, and so was Celia. They were both doing stand-up together in Melbourne, when I met Alison as a production manager. And I was getting this restlessness about wanting to perform again,

but not knowing in what capacity. And then I ended up on the last day of the 2008 Melbourne Comedy Festival doing a stand-up spot for the first time at Ali McGregor's Late Night Night Night, who is also Adam Hills' wife. And I did stand up. And beforehand I was like, I am going to kill myself after this gig because this is the worst idea I've ever had.

This is awful. I was having like full panic attack. You may as well have fun because tomorrow is the end tomorrow. And then like within two minutes of being on stage, it was like, this is it forever. Forever I'm never going to do anything else. So after that gig, I said to my mom, I'm going to move to Melbourne and I'm going to do stand up. And she said, okay. And then I was in Melbourne at the time.

for a TV show appearance on Adam Hills' show. I got back to Sydney or the Central Coast and I had a voice message on my phone saying, Hi, Felicity, it's Anthony who produced Adam's show. I've got a job opportunity for you. Would you like to host this sort of like a radio pilot program for two months, like a satirical new show on ABC Radio? The only thing is you'll have to move to Melbourne.

And I called him back and I said, I've already decided I'm moving to Melbourne. He's like, cool, it's in a month. I'm like, cool, I'm moving to Melbourne. So Alison, I messaged her and said, hey, I'm going to move to Melbourne. Do you want to move together because I knew she was looking? She was like, yeah, yeah. So I went down there and, oh, that's right.

So before I went down there, she said, hey, there's this other girl that does stand up. She's also looking for a place because she's going to start working more in the city in Melbourne. and do you mind if we look together? And I was like, yeah, yeah, the more the merrier, the more the cheaper. And so me, Celia and Alison, all looked for a place together. I didn't know Celia at all. We moved in together. We find out she used the other panelist, regular panellist on the radio show.

So that's where I met Seals, and then Seals and I spend a codependent amount of time together because we would work together in the day on this radio show, and then we'd just go home and watch the Sopranos. We were never not together. We were just in love with each other. have this, I have it through my life, these intense female friendships. I feel like emotional talking about them because I think when I was younger, no, not I think, I had internalized misogyny when I was younger and I thought this idea of being girly was a bad thing or whatever.

And actually, as I've got older, I realize I am so platonically in love with women and female friendship is literally the most important thing in my entire life. And sorry to my son. But it's just like these bedrocks and milestones that have made my life and continue to make my life a better foundation and so I met Seals there and we lived together for like five years I think what was the decision to come over tell me about like do you know what it's not not to do with Seals it from the beginning she sold out all of her shows

all the time she's always just immediately sold out her shows and when we were living together whenever she got something that I didn't, I was always really good at going, great, this is a learning opportunity. What can you learn from this? How can this motivate you? For the first six years of stand-up, I was really, really motivated and I never experienced self-pity and jealousy. I managed to really quickly synthesize into something active and helpful. And so it just got to a point in Australia where I'm like, I've done all the TV shows. I'm doing all the gigs there is. I don't know how to get better because that's the only thing that's in my control. When you say get better,

do you mean just move on in a kind of sense of like you'd get a glass ceiling in Australia? Yeah, yeah. It was like I don't know how to progress in any way here. Beyond what I'm doing and it feels like I'm kind of not treading water, but just hitting the same beats. And I thought the only thing in my power to improve as a stand-up, which is the only thing that can change my career that is in my power is to improve, is to do more gigs and I couldn't do any more gigs than I was doing in Australia and so my plan was I would move over to the UK for six months. I'm going to be completely honest with you. I thought in those six months I will be able to achieve what I had in five years in Australia and then I would be able to go back and forth. That's what I thought genuinely.

Oh, that's a good joke, isn't it? It's a good joke 11 years later. If we're going to move into parenting as well, this next photo, is that why you sent it? Because it just sums it all that. That is, that is, yes. Is that welcome to motherhood? That's the face of a new mom. That's a postnatal depression. That's what that face is.

Oh, really? Yes. And I didn't know, I didn't know how funny or not funny. Oh, it was so bad. It was so bad. Straight away. It was, I reckon within two weeks. And then when Chris went back to work, I just melt down.

So he had to take an extra day, like, because he was supposed to go back to work. And I was like, I can't, you can't leave me. And it feels so insane. There you have like a new baby. You have none of your family around. You've never done it before. The worst thing is you think you know. I've got 26 cousins.

Do you know how equipped I thought I was to be a parent? I've been surrounded by babies. I don't know what babies are. Do you have, do you remember having dreams of them breaking, like dolls, like rolling off and falling from like changing tables? Those kind of weird dreams of how utterly vulnerable they are. but also not as, you know, not as, you know, when you have your second kid or your, you know,

you realise that they're a lot more resilient. Like you don't have to be watching them every thing. They're fine. They're fine. But probably could have gone a bit harder, to be honest. Oh, it's so overwhelming. And you're from like a community, what you described, like, if you were in your hometown around your all your

cousins and whatever, there'd be like, it takes a village kind of territory. And then you're in London and your partner's gone back to work and bang, you're on your own with a brand new, baby. Nuclear families are fucked. But his family were very involved and very supportive, but I didn't want it because I was so scared that I couldn't do

it by myself. You know, I was like, no, I want my family. It was the same when, like, it's all this stuff that I just, all this stuff you don't even know is just programmed into your head. When we were getting married, I wanted to go shopping with my mum.

I wanted to go wedding dress shopping with my mum. You know? Of course she did. So then you go, no. And then you do it by fucking and you feel lonelier anyway. That must be so true of people like yourself that have moved from the other side of the world. And then when you do things like get married, I don't have a kid and da-da-da, it's like you're a long way

from your mum. And it's so weird because I'm white, because I'm Australian, I'm very much ingratiated to British culture. I'm not considered a foreigner. I'm considered Australian. I would say I'm weirdly considered exotic. But in a quote-unquote acceptable white way, in a non-threatening way.

But the thing is I'm an immigrant. You know, like there are some parts of my Australianism that I hold onto, like I make eye contact with people. I say thank you to the bus driver when I get off. I do all these things like almost systematically so that I don't get ground down into being passive aggressive, into tutting people, into rolling my eyes. Like trying to create connection because if I'm perfectly,

I still find London so fucking lonely. I've been here for 11 years and I still feel like I've been here for one. I'm from here and I find London lonely. Yeah. It is definitely a hard place. London is a hard place. And there is like a pride in being able to thrive in these desperate circumstances. What does thrive mean?

How are we defining thrive? Like when people go, oh, isn't it funny when, you know, like how many comics have you seen do a bit about how they laugh when someone doesn't make the bus. Like I've seen three or four people. And then I'm like, and that is like, yeah, that's funny. You know, that's Chardon Freud. But that is so British to go, ha ha. You didn't get it.

But I think that's also very London. It's kind of capitalism on cracks. So everything is very individualistic. And we're all kind of like navigating the city on our own. Or we somehow interpret like warmth as an ediness. Yeah, 100%. And it's all a sign of weakness. I always call it, there's always a three second pause before civility in London.

So if I say something nice to someone, they'll go, hey? And then I'll say it again, they go, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like they... I smile at people like almost aggressively. No, you know, like, you're going to smile back, you can. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is a uniquely London way of approaching warmth. I feel like I am there.

I feel like I'm there. now like I'll do something nice and then they won't and I'm like yeah fucking see and you're like mate you can't smile at someone in the hope that they won't smile back and then feel vindicated yeah well welcome to low you're a true blue Londoner and you're now raising a Londoner

this is where you're bringing up I'm actually I'm really he's very Australian in lots of ways you spend so much time in Australia now as well don't you like you spend part of your time here and part of your time there which is lovely for your son. Watching him, yep, probably going to cry. Watching him in the water feel like I do.

Watching him like squeal with elation. Like he can't believe his luck. He's such a water baby. And then there was one afternoon that me, my niece and him and my mum, we built like a pool on the edge of the shore. And then we realized we had to build a retaining wall. Otherwise, the waves would keep coming in and ruin the pool. And then we had to.

to like keep reinforcing the retaining wall with sand. But then we had to build some holes on the side so the water could. It was three hours, three hours that we all just built this sand pool castle thing. And it was truly one of the best days of my entire life. It was fucking magical. Hit pause on whatever you're listening to and hit play on your next adventure. This fall get double points on every qualified stay. Life's the trip.

Snack back to reality with Tim's new craveable wraps available in Chipotle or Ranch. Plus tax at participating restaurants in Canada for a limited time. We're going to your last photo, which I love. So the reason I picked this photo in particular. Which I'm very glad you did, by the way.

Why? Well, just because I think it's really good to celebrate. these moments and talk about them and acknowledge them and applaud them. So this photo was actually just because I had put on, after having a baby, I'd put on like, I think nearly three stone. I can't remember. I can't convert. I put on 17 kilos, 20 kilos when I had a baby, which is 45, 50 pounds.

And I had been, I'm sure you remember, I had been rake skinny, my entire. entire life. And so the photos that I had, they were all of me being very, very skinny. And so I had to go in and take new publicity photos. And I felt very, very nervous and very anxious about it. And my face was very different. My body was very different. And it turns, I thought that I had a really good body image. It turns out I was brainwashed like the rest of us. It's just I'd been skinny my whole life. So I got much bigger. It went from a size 6 to a size 14, which is very, very different. And so these were the first photos of me as a different weight and a different body shape. Now, I happened to have bought that suit and that cup happened to have been on set.

And after we'd done a couple of different outfit changes, I did pick this photo up and I said, can I do a couple of photos with the cup? And they were like, sure. It was all very fortuitous when the office came out. They had a media release announcement date and they didn't have a photo because I didn't live there. And I said, you're not going to believe this, but I've got. I've taken a photo where I'm holding a latte cup and I'm in a suit. And I sent it over there like, it's perfect.

Oh, wow. And so that was the photo that came out. It was like, it was the day I was flying out to film. So I found out I was in New Zealand filming Time Bandits. And I was about to go and spit in a tube, which is what you do for a COVID test over there. It's really cool. You can hear people going, trying to conjure. My favourite sounds.

All the COVID times, all the swabs up the... All the good stuff. Orifices. But when you can hit, like, it's really hard to conjure up a vial full of spirit. So they have pictures of food and stuff. Like to try and make you celebrate. Wow. So I wasn't expecting the call, but I was walking in and my agent called.

I was like, hey, mate, how you go? He's like, good. What are you up to? I said, oh, I'm just going to go and get a COVID test. I'm not filming today, but I'm filming tomorrow. And he goes, all right. He goes, have you got a second? I went, yeah, yeah.

And he said, I would like to offer you. I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? And he goes, you are going to be the lead in the Australian office. That is mad. They just offered it to what? Oh, no. I had auditioned. Oh, thank God.

Oh, my God. For a year. So you're waiting for this call. This call was kind of like, come on. Where is the call? Yes and no. There was like timelines that changed and stuff like that. So it didn't actually.

feel... It went away. It came back. The anxiety had gone by that point. Right. The anxiety about whether I got it or not had gone away. And I was also filming with Tycho Waititi and Jermaine Clement. You were distracted. I mean, you have a lot going on. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like, I remember on Time Bandits, and I've shared this a lot, but it was the second day of filming. And because the kid is the lead, Kelle, he had to go and do schoolwork. Right. So they film his close-ups and his scene, like in the scene together, because we're playing his parents. And he goes off. So then it's just our close-ups. It's me, James Dryden, who's played my on-screen husband. There's a cameraman. There's a sound guy. And then Tyker is behind the camera and then

Jermaine is on the ground in the lounge room, quote unquote. And that's all that's on set for these close-ups. And so we do a take. And then Tyca and Jermaine talk to each other. And they're like, they've known each other since they were 20. So they're like, like us when we talk. We're like, oh, you know, it would be funny. And they're like making up jokes on the bot and then they'd tell us or like riff something of this or say this line and then we'd do a take and they'd laugh and tyke's like oh color isn't here so just use me as an eye line I'm like sure just looking to tycho white tides eyes no big absolutely fine mate pretty chill do it all the time um and i remember thinking after about like two or three takes I'm like is this the greatest

day of my career is this the I think this is the greatest day of my career and then and then and then six months later it was I got that I got that I got that that call while I was still filming. And how long was the shoot? It was a seven and a half week shoot, two weeks of rehearsal and we did eight episodes. That's quick. It was breakneck. That is, that's some long days of filming for you because you're going to be like pretty much every. Yeah. So when I thought of the British office, I was like, oh yeah, it's an ensemble show. And then you go back and watch it, you're like, Ricky's in every fucking scene. He's in, like, he's in, nearly like 95%

oh well 95% of scenes because I was I was going oh yeah and then I went when I was reading the script I'm like I'm on every page right okay this is slightly different to okay

that's a lot of lines it's a lot of lines I weirdly it is one of the things that I've retained even after childbirth I learn lines so quickly but it's the best you get picked up they take you to a place all that stuff is great they do your hair and makeup they give you yummy breakfast

I put on I put on four kilos, which is like nearly 10 pounds over the shoot, because the food was so good. The catering was the last day we had prawns. Prongs. Come on. It's not being at a wedding every day. And you're the bride who gets to make everyone laugh. You do a 10-hour bride speech every day.

This is my dream. This is so great. Nick, I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to watch it. And it's, when does it come out? It comes out the 18th of October on Prime Video worldwide. Except for the USA. Yeah, it's everywhere.

It's everywhere. It's training now as well. It's all over the place. The trailer is out. Yeah. And then I go out to Australia. Exciting times. And then next year, all of the awards ceremony.

Oh, yeah, yeah. And then Hollywood. Hollywood. You two are the fucking worst. Do you know that? You're the absolute worst. What is a dream, Flick? What is she going to hate?

Hope is poison. Hope is poison. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me in my photos. Oh, it's been great. Thanks very much fun. How have the gigs been going? The show's been really nice.

I mean, oh God, I think I'd text to do this, but the audiences in the US are absolutely out of this. They're bananas. Apart from in Brooklyn, where they're a little bit more like, I said to them, you've got up your game because you're behaving like, this is London and I'm not going to have that. I haven't come a long way to not as a tolerate that. I haven't come all the way to New York for you to behave like,

this is London, okay? So you need to be like they were in the West Coast to be a little bit quick. I want that. And so they gave me a bit more right at the beginning. And then they settled straight back into really like London. Too cool for school, mate. Too cool for schools in Brooklyn, baby. But yeah, they've been really fun crowds, really nice.

You can love it. You'd love gigging here. Oh man, I've got to do it. I've got to do it. They'd love you. Can't we come back and do a double bill next time? Just like do it together. Yeah, because it's quite, oh, I tell you what was really nice was the train from Boston down to New York.

Wow, that was beautiful. All the colours of the trees were all red and gold and yellow. And then it passed by this. coast, that whole coast, that's east central coast. Oh my God, it's stunning. Was it, I think we'd go through Rhode Island and Connecticut. Did you take pictures?

Delaware. No, Delaware, I think I might make that off. But anyway, I did not actually. What? We've got a podcast about pictures. I was in the moment. Also, to be honest, I was sat next to this guy, right? And he was really not enjoying me, enjoying myself.

So because I had to slightly twist to really appreciate the, the trees and he was making a lot of harrumphing noise. And I didn't feel like I could then go, sorry, babe, do you mind if I just take to photograph? So I didn't. I just sat in the moment and went, here I am on the east coast. But fuck that guy, you're a tourist.

And you're allowed to take pictures? Fuck that guy, yeah. Well, in hindsight, fuck that guy, actually. But I didn't, I didn't take any photos. But, you know, the photos are in my mind, Kerry. Yeah, I know, but we've got a podcast about photos. I've got other photos.

None of them are good. None of them. I like it. I like following you and Louisa because Louisa's commitment to taking photos, making videos like properly. Pous shines mine. Yeah. Yeah.

And then occasionally you're in the back of one. And I'm like, there she is. Listen, I, I am, the only reason I have as many photos as I do is because you're with her. Yeah. Louise goes, sorry, what are you doing? You need to take a photo here. Oh, why? She went, because you've performed here and people need to know.

Yeah. I think they do know. I think it's brilliant. You're with her. And then she's like, stand here. I'll take a photograph now. And then she sits with me and goes, why, we're going to post this one, not that one. This is right.

And then I said, okay, let's post. She went, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We're going to put a filter on it. Oh, are we? She went, yes, we're going to put a filter on it. She knows what she's doing. Yeah. And she was like, you are like some old man.

You don't put filters on your photographs. You don't do, you don't do. You don't do photographs? It's a miracle you went viral. I mean, she's like she's like talking to me like I'm some sort of boomer. I went, by the way, I went viral. Excuse me. I went viral.

Thank you very much. If you have enjoyed my social media recently, that is entirely Louise Sleland. Yeah, I think it's brilliant you're with her. It's like she's your key worker in a way. Oh, I think she would agree with you. Yeah. She was like it's really, it really worked out. He said, you're very lucky to have me here.

And I'm like, yes. She's right. She's absolutely right. If I'd been with you, it'd be like the golden girls. You're always for me. You'd have had one picture of this, one selfie with the two of us and one of our thumbs is going to be in the way. People would be sending a flare. Like, are they still in, where fuck are they?

I don't believe that actually in America. They didn't make it. They're a he throat. No, you and I can never be trusted to do anything to do with social media. It would be an absolutely travesty. Okay, I better go. All right, man. Take it.
