Today's guest is a stand-up comedian. He's a actor. He's a podcaster. He just released his 10th stand-up comedy special on Netflix. It's called Two-Lim Policy. We actually want to dedicate this episode to his nephew, Lieutenant Max Nugent. Thank you for your service, sir. Today's guest is the one and only Jim, Jeffrey.

How have you been doing with stress. I love you. How have you been? How are you doing with things? I'm alive, man. What am I? I feel like I'm stressed out a lot, but it's okay. I just have to slow things down a little bit for myself.

And then I just, um, I think sometimes you get busy and it's hard to, like, see what you're doing. You know, you're just going. And I think some of that's just life as you get older. You're just going. and you're like, do I, am I still walking in the direction I want to be in? Or what's even going on, you know? Well, look, the first time we worked together per se was on a pilot for Comedy Central and we're watching some slam poetry.

Oh, yeah, that was good. And now, if I can look at you. You're interviewing the top people in the world, man. So, yes, you're going in the right direction, Theo. I wouldn't be too nervous about how your life's going. You know, take the good with the bad and keep fucking riding the way, brother. Yeah, thanks, man. Yeah, I think it's just more like,

Like, yeah, you just get going. You're like, what the fuck? Where? How old am I? What am I doing? You know, you're just like, it's just life. Life gets going like that, man. Yours has changed a lot since I saw you.

You had a child. You have autism. Well, autism is such a hard thing to put your finger on, it is. You know what I mean? Like, like, I might just be an asshole, you know? People always say, so, you know, I had one doctor say, oh, we think that you're on the spectrum and the thing, but there's such a rainbow where you can be and what, you know, you could.

be functioning to completely unfunctioning, needing help all your life. So, um, look, you know, when I was a kid, they tried to go, oh, you have attention deficit disorder and then dyslexia, I'm positive. Autism, I'm pretty sure on, I don't think I had attention deficit disorder. I was just filled full of riddlin as a child. That, okay, but yes, I have had another kid since I've seen you. I've got a, I've got a 12 year old and a four year old and I've sobered up, more importantly, since we last saw a child. I haven't had a drink in close to five years. Oh, congratulations, dude.

How's that changed? I mean, that must have changed everything. I still partake in weed. So I'm not sober, sober. So I don't want to preach that I am completely sober. But you don't drink. But I haven't had a drink or a cigarette in years. It happened during COVID.

I started drinking at home. And I used to have a policy that I'd only drink at work. You know, which is the opposite to make. It's obviously an Irish policy. Yeah, yeah, I was like, I can drink at work, you know, because I can have a couple of beers before a show, and I can have a couple of, you know, spirits after the show. And, you know, you can go in a dressing room in the comedy store

and say, give me a vodka, Red Bull or whatever, if you're a bit tired. And then when COVID happened, I started drinking at home. And excessively. Like, how early? Like, were you getting up and cracking one? Yeah, I was getting right into it. And then my wife gets pregnant, and she, she's not drinking and I was probably quite unpleasant to live with and I thought I'll out of

solidarity I won't drink with her you know and then you know look I I I very clearly had a drinking problem and and it played out in front of people so many times you know I had my third special we're here to promote my tenth special two limb policy out in Netflix right now but my third special was called um fully functional and it was all about how I had given up alcohol and I I was, you know, fully functional and I was doing comedy sober. And I was drunk in the next one. Wow. You know what I mean?

And so it's very hard. And I've watched people do this that are in the limelight where you go, oh, I'm giving up drink. And you put a big flag in the ground and you say, oh, I'm a non-drinker. And then you let everyone down. Yeah. You know, you let everyone down when you slip up and all that type of stuff. So I kept the first bit of my sobriety sort of to myself until I came out of

I was a couple of years in before I started telling people. And now I don't really miss it. I tell you what, I missed a cigarette. I went and saw an oasis in concert, and they were playing cigarettes and alcohol, and people were lighting up in Wembley Stadium. And just like, there's so many people smoking security. He wasn't doing fuck all.

Yeah, that's wrong. And I was like, yeah, I wanted to light up more than I ever had. But I pushed through that, you know, and I had a tragedy in my life. I didn't smoke because they always say with smokers, they go, you're always a smoker when the, you know, the chips are down. Yeah. Right.

And I had a big tragedy in my life and I didn't light up. So I think I've kicked that. Well, I hope I have. So it kind of taught you a lesson. It showed you that you had some progress or something right there. Dude, yeah, I remember, like, because one of your specials, I distinctly remember you, like, having a beer and getting through your beer pretty quick. And then, like, I even remember, I think there was one where there was a couple of glasses

sitting on a table, like, empty glasses. I think people thought this was a thing. And one of my specials, I had a big wooden box on the thing, and I would pull a beer from out of the wooden box, and the crowd would cheer each time because, oh, he's bringing out another one, he's bringing another one. But we all know, you record two shows for a special, right? You do two performances. You primarily use one and then maybe edit a joke in that you haven't done or whatever like that.

And so for continuity, we had to hide the pints behind the box. But we edited it in every pint that I did drink. So it does. It did look like I had a few. Yeah, I remember it's looking at a, I was like, God, he's fucking doing it. I think it was, because it was like six pints in an hour. Like no one's doing six pints in an hour. doing three pints in each other. Six pints in an hour seems a little excessive. It's a lot.

Yeah, it seems like a lot. You don't drink, right? How long are you been? I had probably, I think in my, the most time I had, I probably had six years. And then I had two, one. Then I've, had like, groups of months, you know. That's exact. So when I did fully function, I had two years, got drunk again, then had a year. And now we're on a five year. And so I don't know if I'll, you know, maybe I'll drink again. But the problem is every time I've taken drinking back up, every time I've taken it back up, I've been good for six months. Right. It's like, it's not like I become like Barney Gumbull and take a sip and go, oh, like that. I'm like, all right, I had two, I'm good. And then I think I can handle, I think I can handle, I think

I can handle, and then I'm back to being weight. I'm a sloppy drunk. Are you? Does that mean, is it what comes out of you? Is it like aggression? Is it yelling at a neighbor? Is it racism? Like, how do you notice it flare up, you know? It's blackout, man. I don't remember a single thing. And so then also, when you add fame into the mix and someone will say, hey, I met you and then you did ABC or you said, this, that, and the other, you can't even prove them wrong.

And even when it's something where you go, I've never done that. That doesn't sound like me at all. I can't remember the night at all. I was blacking out. And that's why it sort of got comfortable at home with. Who gives a fuck if you blackout at home? Yeah. Everybody says a virus.

People are dying or whatever. fat people are coughing to death like yeah it's a different time but i but also like when you stop cocaine you stop cocaine i started to look more drunk that's when people were getting into me going you need to take control your drinking and you're like oh no no no i've just given up another thing yeah i'm actually in recovery this way but i just look worse because i'm sweating and i'm you know because cocaine keeps you up right yeah yeah it helps for the posture good for the posture oh definitely you see a guy like well straight up Here we go.

I'm back. I'm a fucking booey. Did your kid notice or anything like that or no? Yeah, my little boy at that stage would have been about seven, and he knew when I was drunk, yeah. And there was definitely times that he would be like a child out of a movie. Daddy, are you having a drink again? You know what I mean?

You're like, yes. Where'd you hear that sentence? Was that from the lady I gave a house to? You know what I mean? But, yeah, Daddy, you're having a drink. He laughs about it now. Sounds like a song. I think he was just teasing me, really.

I don't think he was ever bothered or upset about it. Yeah, maybe he just had a really good sense of humor, you know. He's got a great sense of humor, my boy. He's got a great sense of humor. Does he? Yeah, he does. I've got nieces and nephews and obviously my kids. And me, I've got two brothers.

And one brother is a very nice man, has a good sense of humor, but can't tell a joke to save his life. And then I got another brother who's as funny as me. And you might not think I'm funny, but like me and him are both the funny ones, right? Me and him sort of get together like we're in a Jedi council and we decide who's got the gift or not when the children are about three or four. You start going, oh, I think it's strong with this one.

Oh, yeah, yeah. So I've got both my boys, I think, have it. Like guessing if your kids are gay too, they do that. None of the same thing. Yeah, you start to look early, you go, I don't know about it. Yeah, maybe. It's all right, though, as long as he's happy. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, so I've got, I've got a couple of, out of, I won't say who because they might all listen to this. So out of, out of my five nephews and nieces, two of them have it. Two, two of them have it. I won't say which ones, but they know, they know who it is. They know who they are. Yeah, it is kind of funny to see kids develop and then you start to see their personality. And then, like, yeah, when they do something that makes you laugh,

or they have like a unique way of looking at things or if they start to seem cool that's pretty neat you're like oh this kid's fucking cool that's dope I had I was talking about the tragedy I don't know why I had a yeah no you said that something that had occurred I well I my nephew died in a helicopter accident oh yeah and we made the news in Australia

and I want to sort of talk about it a little bit because there's been a cover up by what I believe the Australian government so I'm getting into conspiracy theory shit now welcome but okay so you can check this online, my nephew, Lieutenant Max Nugent, was in a helicopter. Now, how Australian a death is this? He crashed a helicopter up near the, a bit above the Great Barrier Reef for the military

and was eaten by sharks, like his remains, there was no remains left. So that's pretty Australian, you know, that's pretty... I mean, it's a high velocity. It almost sounds like something that would be sponsored by Red Bull, you know? So he was on... It's pretty high velocity. He was on military war games flying a Tai Pan helicopter and they were in a group of four flying along America was there as well

there was 30,000 soldiers from all of our allies around the world and the helicopter crashes. So it's a games, it's a competition? They play basic war games. So they're in formation for Tai Pan helicopters the helicopter crashes. They wear these helmets that were completely, it's just like

all the readings are in there. You know, I don't know why they can't just do it in an office, like a drone, you know what I mean? But they're in the helicopter, and they're looking all their things. The helicopter hits the water, the four men on the helicopter die instantly. And within a matter of a couple of weeks, Australia had decommissioned the helicopters, taking them apart and buried them in the desert. The Ukraine said, we'll take the helicopters, and the Australians went, no, no, no, no, no, don't you worry about that.

Then my brother and my niece and my sister-in-law had to sit through an inquiry that went on for almost two years, whether the government was responsible or not, where the test pilot stood up and said that those helmets were defective and would end in industrial manslaughter, right? So this was documented that the year said this. This was documented in the inquiry, right? It's like watching a few good men, like talking about the military and the government trying to cover its ass. I said that it would. They also, the weather environment, it was raining really badly. Other countries didn't go out on patrol that day.

They said the weather was too bad. The soldiers were too tired. One of the soldiers said that they were so tired, they couldn't fly the aircraft, and then my nephew stepped in to actually do it. There's just so, and it was just so much bullshit, and then they made it until they had, I believe, five days to actually put in a civil suit

to sue the government. or the Statue of Limitations ran out and the inquiry ended with five days. Who has five fucking days to get a lot? They dragged it out on purpose. Now I get that the world's going to war, well, the world's it, we're in a war. Everyone, whether it kicks off more, who knows, right?

But the Australian military might be going into a war scene pretty soon, right? Anything you guys do, we'll do as well. Yeah. Right? Thanks. can't be paying out every soldier who dies or whatever like that. But this was not, this was war games. There was, there was things that weren't followed. There was things that have been, there's literally helicopters that have been buried. If you want to find an Australian

Tai Pan fucking helicopter, you need a treasure map, mate. So I just, the only reason I'm bringing it up here on the show, is, is you've got such a, a big platform, mate, and I just wanted to sort of get that bit of information out. You can go on to my Instagram. I've put, put up all the clips there, or just Google the accident. I'm not a big conspiracy theory guy, but it seems pretty shady to me. And were you able to, were you able to, like, how do you even go about combating that or, like, getting investigations into this? I don't know.

I think I'm doing it right now. Yeah. I think this is all I can physically do. At the very least, I'd like my nephew's death. not to be forgotten. I'd like him to be remembered. And what I've seen my brother go through, you wouldn't put on to any parent losing their child, right?

You wouldn't put it on to anybody. Let's bring him a picture of him, Mr. Nugent. Max Nugent, Max Nugent, Lieutenant Mac. The thing is, he grew a stash just before he. Oh, hell, yeah. Because he, yeah, because he, there he is. Oh, class. He looked like he was from the 1940.

He looked like he'd just come back from beating some Germans, didn't he? He doesn't he? I'm traveller. He was ready to go, old Max. Hello, Max. That boy, mate, I was, I remember when he was born. And he was one of those guys. He just never disappointed.

Every step along the way, he wanted to be a fighter pilot, but he was six foot six. So I had to go on the helicopters. Oh, because there's more room in there. Yeah, a bit more leg space. Yeah, I could see that. A bit more leg space. You don't want to be in a fighter jet and be a real tall guy. Yeah, with your legs or something like that.

Oh, a Maverick. but he's moving the throttle with his foot did um was he your first nephew he was my first nephew oh man he's uh i keep on getting his age wrong in every interview i believe he was 23 i believe he was 23 he was very young and was he married to know he had a girlfriend oh wow um but that he'd been living with for a very short amount of time oh yeah put the bills on her but uh he uh he was just starting out in life he'd just gone through all the training and stuff and graduated to be actually become the helicopter pilot and actually be a real you know You know, for everybody in the military that sees battle,

I think there's 12 people behind them who are catering and supplies and this, that, and the other. For soldiers, you know, they're the rock stars, man. The fighter pilots and the helicopter pilots and stuff. We were proud of him. Oh, they're the heroes. I'm sure you were. He looks like somebody very much to be proud of.

That's why I wanted to get a good look at it if we can honor him today. When Australia goes to war, we don't, you know, that's the first bloke we send in. We send in the planes and the helicopters. That's the first bit of assistance we send in. You know, like, I don't know if you know this, but Australia's, I believe, and New Zealand, I've got to give New Zealand credit, but Australia and New Zealand are the only country that have fought alongside you for, for over 200 years. Wow.

Other countries are dipped in and out. Just for example, Britain never went to Vietnam. Australia went to Vietnam, right? We, I don't know if we get enough. You've been there. You don't get enough credit. I don't know if Australia gets enough credit. Yeah.

It's like Trump slapping fucking tariffs on Australia. I'm a bit like, what the fuck are you doing there, man? We're one of you guys. Yeah. these are our fucking, these are our fucking kangaroo mates. It's true though. I know you're very popular in Australia, yeah?

We had a good time over there. Dude, it was so much fun. But yeah, I don't understand some of what Trump's energy is about a lot of these types of things. You know, it's very bizarre, you know, and I think it's just getting more, it's, the government feels further and further away

from the people more than ever. But I think it's nice that countries like yours, a lot of countries have spoken up, like, about what's happening in the Middle East. And I feel like I can have had a voice into, it's been, um, people now, recognizing Palestine as a state. Yeah, to see prime ministers do that, it's important.

You know, like, to tariff Australia is pretty weird. We buy three times more stuff from you than you buy from us. Why would you? You know, the big example they gave was Australian beef, that you guys buy $26 billion worth of Australian beef and we buy no beef from you. And it's like, well, why would we? You want it. We've got the beef you want. We've already got it. We've already got it. It's like buying, that's like me, like, buying, paying for a prostitute and ringing up the next week and going, I'd like to do it again, but this time you'll pay it. You know what I mean? Like, like, you've never seen on the bottom of, like, you see on the bottom of a menu, it always says Australian Wagyu. You've never seen in an American restaurant, an Australian restaurant, the bottom American beef.

Yeah, like, like Milwaukee Wagu or whatever, you know. Yeah, no, it's like, what do you really buy from us? You buy sheepskin, red wine, beef, beef. and gold and diamonds and stuff. It's luxury items. Yeah. You buy luxury items. It's not like we're fucking manufacturing

fucking Happy Meal toys in Australia in factories. And like those are jobs that can go to the Americans. These aren't jobs that can go to the Americans. It's our gold. It's our diamond. It's our, you know what I mean? Like, mate and edible. Burles.

Pharmaceutical. I didn't know that we did that. That's beautiful. Who's buying electric equipment from Australia? Now, I would advise against that. After what's happened with the helmet. After what's happened with my nephew's helmet, don't be buying any Australian Samsung or whatever the fuck we call it.

So let's steer clear from their VR stuff. We don't need any virtual reality from over there. Did they have, so they said that his plane went down and they don't really know what happened? They said it was pilot era in the end, but they didn't know because the masks invert. But at the end of the day, the weather wasn't right. and they shouldn't have been flying

with, like, other countries didn't go out and there's meant to be a certain amount of sleep that the soldiers are meant to have before. I would look out, it was actually turned out to be that my nephew, there was two blokes in the back of the helicopter and the two pilots of the front. And, you know, the first fear you have is, was he experienced enough?

Was he the one holding the controls? And he wasn't. It was the more senior pilot that was holding it. My nephew wasn't holding at the time. But I have no ill will. to him, of course, you know, like it's, it's an accident. But, you know, my family had to listen to the black box, and that took a year before they played that, of going in and listening to legal fucking shit going over and over

again, and we'll adjourn in a month, and we'll do some more, and we'll adjourn a week. And they spent all their holiday pay and all their days off having to watch, try to get justice for their son. And then at the end, they went, oh, pilot error, you can't sue or anything like that. There'll be no money paid out. to see you've got five days to get it done, right? That, what was your question again, sorry? Okay, so, yeah, so there was another bloke, another bloke actually driving it,

but the, you know, the, the, the, the, um, black box is just really my nephew going, well, it's a lot, looking a bit dodgy, pull up, plop, plop, that's all you really get, you know, you get his final words. Yeah. That's pretty harrowing to have to listen to the final words of someone, you know, it's not like their words of wisdom, their words of fear right at the end there. Has it been, um, man. God, it's so heartbreaking.

Has it been hard to, like, be a supportive brother after that? Like, was that, has that been, like, a challenge or interesting? Or what does that kind of turn into? It's been... Not hard, but what is that like? Look, there's a field piece I once in the Jim Jeffrey show that shows me and my brother's relationship because he was a police officer,

and I did a ride-along in his car, and it was just a lot of me taking the piss out of my brother, and he took it in pretty good jest. There's nothing to say when someone's child dies. You can just be there and you can just hug them and stuff. The only thing I could do is get on a plane right away as soon as I knew. You know what I mean? But in some strange ways, so I've got two brothers and those two haven't always gotten along.

They don't dislike each other. They're just very different bloods. Yeah, different for sure. Just different dudes, man. And it's sort of, it's brought them closer together because, When the shit hit the fan, the whole family was there right away. Everyone was there right away, you know. I remember going, I got there.

I got on the first plane, I got there, and then my brother was waiting out the front. My other brother was waiting at the front. He goes, I don't want to go in before you go in. I want to go in with you. I just don't, he didn't know what to do. Yeah. So, I was terrible. I'm watching my granddad, you know, I'm glad my mother's dead for it, to be honest,

that she didn't have to be around for it. You know, what's the matter of living a few more years to see your granddad? and child die, you know what I mean? So I don't know it's meant to be a fun podcast, but I was just a, let's talk, let's talk about Chris Lilly, let's talk about fucking Chris Lilly or my comedy special, two-lens special coming out. Yeah, we'll get right into it. But Max Nugent, thank you so much for your service, sir.

Yeah, and happy to be thinking of you today. You know what, we'll get a nice photo of it if it's okay with you and your brother, maybe we can put it in here on the desk or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be okay. That would be wonderful. Thank you. That would mean a lot to me. That would be cool.

It'd be nice to have me in here with that stash, too, dude, you know. he was uh yeah he was great he was he was strangely i remember thinking when he became when he went to dun trune uh which is like sandhurst or i don't know what you call it in what's the big military academy in america um west point west point so so dun trun is the equivalent of west point and he didn't get in the first time and he studied and he worked as a bartender or whatever and then he got in the next time and i remember thinking like he was just such a committed lad and And then he finished really high, top of his grade. And even though he was my nephew, even though I'm over, you know, I was 25 years older than

the bloke, right? I looked up to him. Oh. You know what I mean? I looked up to him. I thought, he was kind of like a cool guy. And in the same way, like, I went and did a gig the other day with the Dodgers. And I'm like, why am I gushing over some 25-year-old lads?

You know what I mean? But a fighter pilot who was my nephew, my blood. was fucking doing that man yeah and i looked up to him that's cool sorry no it's admirable well i'll look up to him too yeah thank you you know thank you no i like getting to think it's important yeah thank you so important to think about people that mean something to you and i believe that people can feel you thinking about him in the in the in the like i think that it's a real thing like you know i think it's important that we think about people like that man he fucking was a There was a fucking boss.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And you know what? I take some solace in that he was doing the job that he always wanted to do since he was a little kid. Yeah, he lived his dream. They reckoned the last time they saw him, he put his machine gun over his shoulder. He's automatic shoulder over and he jumped in the helicopter and he gave a thumbs up and a smile. Yeah.

And he was over the moon because the other person dropped out and Max was first person with his hand up. And so, you know, it wasn't a senseless. death. It wasn't a, you know, like a car accident, which I'm not going, you know, people have tragedies all their life. At least there was, you know, it wasn't fentanyl. Yeah. At least it was something, you know, off being a fucking hero, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, dude. It is cool. Yeah. You know, that is exciting. Yeah. Shout out, Max, dude. Fucking, he's still out there in the air, probably fucking, dude, well, look, that's another reason we shouldn't be tariffing these people. These guys are freaking putting their lives on the line. They've done that for America before. Yeah, well, we, well, we

We always show up for the wars. Oh, you part by. Yeah, yeah. You know what? You kind of need us. America, I know you're saying, oh, who cares? A country of 23 million and another country of 3.5 million in New Zealand. So let's, you know, 26, 27 million people.

We're in a country of 330 million, right? What do you care about that? Well, strategically, you kind of need us. We have nuclear submarines that, you know. Really? Yeah. involved with the Americans sitting up at the top of our country

because if China fucking goes, bro. You're going to have to be there first. You need us. Fuck, oh, yeah. You need us. Dude, that's going to be crazy. I would watch that. If the Chinese got to fight Australia,

I would fucking tune in for that. Okay, so there we go. Yeah, boy, you're big talks, huh? Oh, there's the black one at the top. You can tell that. Currently under construction. I don't know how to make it. I assume it's like IKEA

or Lego or something like that, you'd be off to go. Hopefully it's not the same bloke who made the fucking helmets. That's a good point, huh? But, yeah, we're good to go. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, I think it's, I don't know what they're doing.

I don't know what some of the strategies are. And you start to realize that, man, like, probably throughout time, people have just been, like, so distant from the people who are running the show, you know? You all end up just being in the mud while they're the ones up there pouring the water into the dirt, you know? Well, you know, we had a,

our own Pearl Harbor. Up in Darwin, they bombed it. The movie Australia. Gallipoli was when we went and fought the Turks. The Turks, I shouldn't say the Turks. What am I fucking... It's fine. Yeah, I guess the... The young Turks, Anna Kasparian? But we fought the Turkish and you would have seen the Mel Gibson movie. But we had an invasion on Australian land.

In Darwin, they bombed it similar time to what happened with Pearl Harbor. They went after us as well. The Jays did, Japanese? Yeah, and it hasn't really... It's in the movie Australia with a huge... Jackman and Nicole Kidman, that's what it's about, but I don't know, you know, you've seen that film, but we had our own, we had our own thing going on as well. Fuck yeah.

More than 230 people were killed, civilians, military people, with hundreds more wounded. 68 air raids, you know, pretty amazing. And what happened after this, after the attack happened? Well, we just carried on with World War II, didn't we? Yes, we did. We beat the fucking Germans, man. That's what happened. They had a few wins.

We won the war, man. We won the war. It's funny. I'm looking at me special at the moment. I wanted to call my special Hitler, right? I've got three Hitler jokes in it. That's the only reason I wanted to call Hitler. I'm not a fan of Hitler.

I'm not pro-Hitler. I've just got three. And I was thinking to myself, because everything's about algorithm. Yeah. How's the algorithm? Who gets searched more than Hitler? Yeah. Who gets to?

I type his name into Netflix all the time if I'm bored and I want to watch a documentary. I don't put like a hard emoji next to it. I just, you know, and I thought that could get a few clicks if I call the thing Hitler. Anyway, suffice to say, I had some pushback from Netflix. Netflix were like, it won't be an aggressive font. Yeah.

It'll be a soft font. Like Ariel or something. Yeah, and I, hey, so I wanted to go to Hitler. In the end, I landed on two-lim policy, which I'm very happy with it in the name. But I just got back all the rankings of, you know, where it is in the top 10. I don't know if it's because I do the Hitler jokes, but out of all of Europe, I'm about to tour Europe right now,

about to a full year or tour. And I sell really well in Germany, but for some reason, Germany and Austria, I haven't gotten in the top 10. I don't know if there's some shit with everyone around Poland I'm crushing. But Hitler's their guy. Yeah, yeah, but they're not proud of it. No, some of them are.

They're not, there I am. Two-lim policy right there. There we are. Two-lim policy. Now, the two-lim policy stands for after I did my sick. I know you meet with the veterans after your show, right? I've heard about this. I do, I meet with disabled people.

You meet with disabled folks after your show. Yeah, yeah. So after my shows, I take photographs with disabled people. But people start, I did a sitcom many years ago that had disabled actors and then I sort of became a thing. And I used to actually just sort of go get the security to go and sort of whisper to the wheelchair seats and go, here's a thing, come back afterwards and blah. Come on around, yeah.

But people started finding out about that. And people would write to me and go, hey, I'm coming to see you perform this week. And I'm bringing my uncle, he's disabled. Can we come backstage? And you can't write back how disabled. You know what I mean? And you can't ask for a photo. You just got to go.

Because I can't have fucking dyslexics showing up, right? There needs to be. So as I say in the special, I always handle the classics, deaf, blind wheelchair. And also, you can't just be, like, slightly deaf. You've got to have a dog or a cane. You've got to be a beast master. And if you're deaf, you've got to have the voice, right? There's no, there's no better way to say it.

Yeah, I don't like those pseudo-blind people that, like, I'm colorblind or whatever. I mean, even send blind. Yeah, like, I'm colorblind, but I still say the N-word. I'm like, what are you doing? You've got to choose a path. So, so if you aren't one of the classics, I have a two-lim policy. So you can't just be like a fat fuck who lost your foot to diabetes. Yeah.

You know what I mean? That doesn't get you backstage because you had too much candy. That's crazy that people are faking that kind of shit. No, no one's faking it, but I just decided what was my parameters. Right. No one was faking. I never had anyone coming back. I think I was letting the autistic back and some of them were over autisming.

Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? And I was like, I thought, I thought, I don't think this is your real self. I think you're playing this up for the cameras a little bit. So, but I do count autism as one limb. So if you have flamidamide arm and autism, you're beautiful. You're in. Lazy eye, autism.

Here we go. What about missing an ear? Yeah, oh yeah, I'd do missing an ear all day. Like Mark Chopper Reed. Oh, he has one head one. You know that moment when you've left your favorite sunglasses at the beach or you gave him to a child or something and he's gone.

Before that, Eric Banner, you know the actor Eric Banner. Eric Banner was a stand-up comedian. Wow. You'd seen him perform before? Yeah, yeah. He was famous in Australia. Fuck, yeah. He was doing, he did characters.

He used to do impersonations and all that type of stuff. He even had a show called the Eric Banner show where he played. Now, that's the real chopper read, right? So the one up in the top corner there, the one next to him is the real guy. Now, if you look at him, he doesn't have ears. Oh, yeah, huh? Right. He got some kind of drawn on.

Right. So what happened was he killed a whole lot of people. Then he went in prison. Then there was a mark on him where they were like, I'm just saying an arbitrary number, $50,000 to kill Mark. read, right? And so he said, I need to be moved

out of the cell block. I can't be in this cell block. Everyone's trying to kill me. They're trying to kill me. They're killing. And the governor's like, I can't help you, Mark.

Seats taken, yeah. Oh, why did he take his ears off so he didn't want to hear about it? Because he has to go into the hospital in the infirmary or they'll move him or something like that for his own safety.

You got his ears cut off. He got another bloke to do it with a razor and fucking peel it off. It's a banger of a movie. Now, when you see the movie, right so the movie is Eric Banner is unbelievable it's what made Eric Banner a start he was just a stand-up comic in Australia who'd been in a little movie called The Castle which is a great comedy that's another podcast and then Eric Banner becomes Chopper

and does this thing and he gains tons of wake it's really fat for it and all the type of stuff and then his next movie I believe is the Hulk or Blackhawk down and then he's in fucking Troy with you know what I mean like it's kind yeah so chopper blackhawk down another Australian movie. Then he's the fucking Hulk. And then he's, then he's with bloody Brad Pitt. Oh, with the good looking people. And they put you with the good looking people? You're doing good. Yeah, Munich. That's, that's, uh, that's Steven Spielberg, Munich. Like, it went for, it went from zero to 100 very quick. Wow. You know, like, and he was, as I said, just a stand-up comedian. And he still lives in Australia. He still lives in Australia. He still lives in Australia. And I don't

think he does stand up anymore. I've spoken to him online a couple of times. As a, no, one Australian to another type of thing. I think he one time saw one of my specials and was like, I enjoyed it. That's the only chat. So cool, though. But this is the weird thing. There's like people you like,

you get to speak to fucking Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. You get to meet both sides of the whole world. Plus, you get to interview, whoever the fact. When you get to a certain level of fame, there's people you can just sort of reach out to and go, hey, and then just see if something comes back. So at the moment I'm wearing my favorite entertainer in the world And I wore this t-shirt

Because you're the only interview I've ever found of Chris Lilly Dude, well he first of all Yeah, I remember asking you last time that we talked If you had met him And you hadn't yet No, still haven't Only spoken to him online I've never heard he's voice

He once came to one of my shows And he wrote, oh, it's just at your show Really funny, good stuff or whatever But he didn't come backstage Oh He's kind of like a He's a little bit of like a missing person kind of. He's an introvert, but he's a genius.

Oh, he's magical. He's a gene. His TV shows, it was like, I wanted, I started showing he shows to my son when he was 11. He's a magic baby. And then just to see what he's, if he went, this is brilliant, I knew that my son actually knew comedy. And was going to be a good person. He knew what comedy was.

And then, or if he went, oh, I don't really get it. This is boring and what's a guy, because it's one guy playing all the different characters, and he got canceled for the wrong reasons. Summer High Tai. Yeah, it was one of the best shows ever, first of all. Summer High Tye is unbelievable. Jemay Private School. Now he's got a podcast of Mr. G, who's my favorite character.

Oh, yeah. But he's... Bad habit for drugs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's a naughty girl with a bad habit. Bad habit for drugs. Ecstasy. Ecstasy.

Yeah, he's the fucking... He is... I'm gonna... For Australia, right? Yeah. I'm going to say he's the greatest Australian entertainer we've ever had. I'm including Hugh Jackman, Russell Crow, I'm including fucking ACDC, man. Right, right?

And these are, all those people I love. Oh, yeah. I'm very proud to say from Australia. Volcanovsky also? He's Volcanovsky. Alexander Volcanovsky? Is he New Zealand? He's Australian.

I haven't lived there for 20 years. I'm about to be in trouble? He's a UFC guy, no. Oh, no, I don't follow the UFC. Oh, you don't? That's good, then. But he's a class actor. I don't, no, no, athletes.

Athletes is a different thing. Okay, athletes excluded. I'm talking about entertainment. No, we've had some great athletes, man. Do you know that the... Ben Simmons was kind of mid. Yeah, but three-time All-Star. Facts.

Three-time All-Star. You never mind. Sorry, but... Luke Longley played in the greatest team of all time was the first Australian in the NBA when the dream team went to play fucking the rest of the world in Barcelona. owner, there was only six players, international players that were in the NBA.

Six. And now there was like 60 or 70 in this last night. The Australians actually had like a proper team. But Luke Longley was just a big tall cunt from fucking Fremantle, Perth, brother. Yeah. Right? And then he's playing with Michael Jordan. And he was the only cun out there with an accent that wasn't American or Eastern European.

Yeah. Right? Like that was pretty. Now you've got like Josh Giddy and you've got Andrew Bogart played before. You got Daniel Dyson just got the, the, the, the, the, the, lock record, the steel record. Yeah, Zarvita's a bonus. They got, what's that guy's name?

That big guy, Bulgan, Durgan, Bogander. I've done, Boyanovich, but I think he's saying Australians. Oh, Australian. They're all Australians. Oh, I see you're saying. Our Olympic team is all NBA players. Yeah. Class.

I don't understand why Britain hasn't gotten into basketball. Yeah. Okay. How do I say they've got, they've got tall people. They've got black people. They've got loads of them, right? Yeah. They've got, I think, it's a place that it rains every fucking day.

Yeah. It rains every day. And you, in a confined space, and you haven't picked up basketball. They're just trying to be fucking difficult. Yeah, that's what they're trying to be. They're too fucking, like, oh, we don't know. Maybe they don't want a bunch of black guys just hanging out in the park or something. I don't know what they're.

We don't need the park. Indoor basketball courts. Just get it made. But with Travis Bazaar, the number one major league. pick last year and the draft is from Hornsby. Let's go. Born the same hospital as me, bro. And this guy, this guy, fucking, this is just a coincidence.

Me and Chris Lilly, I think the same age, give or take a year, we're at the same age. He went to the private school, I believe, up the road for me, and I went to the public school up the road for me. But we grew up in the same bit of the northern suburbs of Sydney. Do you remember seeing him as a kid? No, I never met him. But it's just, there's every chance that me and him were at the same. same party or something like that.

Every fucking chance is kids that we're at the same party. But I was so, it's, it's weird when you get that where you go, oh, wow, you grew up near me. Yeah. Oh. I fucking, I can't, I can't champion Chris Lilly enough, man. Oh, dude. I saw him in, um, in, uh, in, uh, Byron Bay, right?

Yeah. Right outside of Sydney. Mm-hmm. Byron Bay. Oh, no, no. I saw him in, um, up in Queensland. In Bondi Beach. Bondi Beach is in Sydney

But it's the, yes The most famous beach in Australia Yes Oh beautiful over there Even the fucking men's is good looking But were you doing the voice then Was that? I don't know what I was doing

I just didn't want to seem like a gay guy Even the men's is good looking Even yeah it's all right But I remember he can't We met up for lunch And I had some other people That I was like other other comedians and stuff And I was like why

You know he kind of keeps to himself So I don't know if I want to have a bunch of people here When he shows up So, you know, once you guys take a walk or whatever, so I walked outside with them. And then when I came back in, he was sitting just, like, facing the water, like, out on this balcony. And then I just went and sat by him. And we just sat and talked to him on, like, this hat. I'll include some photos from it and stuff, but it was just awesome.

Just like, yeah, it's almost like meeting with, like, a mythical creature kind of in a way. He's so special. Yeah, he's as gifted a human being that has ever been. To be able to do all that. The bravest part is just to be able to take on all those characters at one. once, I think. And then just put yourself out there that much because you're not saying that, hey, my character's going to be good. You're going to say, you're saying five of my characters are going to be good. Your brain leaves you and you believe that he's a 16 year old

girl. Just after a little while, you go, now it's one thing for him to be a gay high school drama teacher, right? That's just a wig. He's still a guy. But then when you watch Jemay and you're like, and then like, and also this whole thing that's like, oh, he did blackface or he did this he did that right look at him and he look he's like a koala but but then to do jonah from tonga and there's real genuine moments of heart there's there's times you can cry watching jonah that you feel for him so much and that you understand why he's a little shit it's not just a one dimensional this kids are shits stirring troublemaker yeah and i think that's what people last they oh he's taking the piss out of tongans and it's like yeah i guess he is

But it's so much more than that Even Tongans fucking loved it Real Tongans loved it The only people that don't like shit Are people that don't own it Who want to write articles about it My son went out for Halloween this year As Jonah from Tonga

Didn't do anything with the skin Just the shirt and the tie Dude I say go a nice polish Don't do anything heavy You know what I'm saying Don't do anything super close to the equator But I would go with like You know

Yeah something of a good bronzer I think Well I don't think he was going to put that much effort in I think laziness stopped him from being canceled. He's like, stop looking at my dick, mom. Yeah, yeah. Oh, no. Oh, no, don't do that. What you do that for? Stop looking at my dick, miss. Oh, miss. Oh, miss. Oh, miss. Oh, the best. And then when they start break dancing, and then that other kid comes in and is a better break dancer, dude. I would argue that Chris Lilly is a better, better break dancer than Reagan, the Australian lady who entered the Olympics. Fuck, yeah. And she put out a bet. Did you know

about the bet she put out? She goes, oh, you think you're a better dancer than me? And she cracks her knuckles and goes how about i think it was like five grand or something you can find the clip where ray gun puts it there she is old ray gun she's dressed like she's from from the local bolow which is lawn bowls and she just everyone else is wearing street crates then she does the kangaroo but if you can find the uh the clip of where she challenges people ray gun challenges uh people it's it's um and i wasn't there like a ledge like a big like that's it that's it there 10 000 price she put out 10,000 prize. If you can dance better than Reagan, surely someone's, I can't dance better than

Reagan. Yeah, who won that shit? But she was a middle class woman, from a middle class white woman who had studied hip hop at university and had a degree in it. And then like Australia was just like, oh, the girl's got a degree. That must be the one. You know, I don't think our Olympic panel, right, are savvy with the hip hop world. and the dancing, right? It's not to say there aren't kids who are doing dancing in the street and stuff in Australia that can't do.

We're very multicultural country. Without a doubt, there are people who can fucking break dance in Australia. I've seen them do it. Class, yeah. But the people who actually decided there's a lovely young girl, Rachel Gunn, we're going to call a Ray Gunn,

a bit of fun. Because I was in Bondi when the Olympics were on, and my phone lit up. just lit up with all these people going, going, oh, you've got to watch it. Are you watching the TV? And it was every American comic who knew me was just like,

trying to relate to you. No, no, they were trying to take the piss like, oh, your people are on the TV right now. Because that's the thing about, you know, being a white Australian, we're not inherently cool, you know what I mean? And so then when Raygun comes, that doesn't fucking help our cause. Yeah, that was bad. It's like watching 9-11 it was.

Yeah, yeah. For a Muslim. You know, when a Muslim watch is not. 9-11 and they think, oh, this will make my life harder. Yeah. That's what that was. Raygon was the Australian 9-11 kind of. Oh, Christ, God.

But the balls on her, just to walk out at the Olympics and have a go. It was the only athlete that Snoop Dogg, who, you know how Snoop Dogg was just at the Olympics, just like, like wearing the equestrian outfit? Well, so was Leslie Jones. Didn't they just have her? Like, sometimes they started hiring more celebrities to just be there. Yeah, just to be there and just show up at events. Yeah. I pitched a show.

to Australian TV that said, because the Olympics are coming out, and I don't know if this show will ever go ahead, but I've pitched it to Australian telly. I said, how about you get me interviewing people, the athletes, the Australian athletes? I'm already here. You know, you don't have to bring anyone out. I'll do like a little comedy show that's like after the proper show. After you watch all the highlights, we can do like a little comedy tonight show where we just do the Olympics and make it a two-run thing. So make it 10 episodes out the door fucking done. Hopefully I can do it, but I reckon that would be a bit of fun. That'd be sick.

And the Olympics, are you going to be in Australia? No, here. Oh, in the US? LA. Oh, fuck, cool. Here. Oh, shit. You don't know that the next Olympics are here?

Nuh. Oh, the traffic's going to get worse. Oh, it's going to be bad. Oh, it's going to be bad. You'll probably, I wonder if to have one of those, I mean. And you've got the World Cup. Oh, yeah. That's great.

Everything's going on. Do you know the Olympics are the reason you have palm trees? Uh-uh. Well, I used to do a podcast called, I don't know about that, right? where I used to learn about a new thing. And one of the things was the Olympics. And I was learning, I do a podcast about at this moment with Amos Gil.

You're friends with Amos? You know, Amos? He's a Australian comic. Very, very good comic. Me and him do a podcast at this moment, so follow my podcast. But palm trees. There was no palm trees in L.A.

They're not indigenous to L.A. And then when you had your first Olympics, and I don't know what year, they planted all those ones along Beverly Hills, just to spruce the place. up a bit because visitors were coming, how about we plant some palm trees, they grow by themselves, they take very little fucking work, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? Yeah, see, I'm not lying.

The internet's, the internet's back. I like how you've got a guy who's always checking if I'm full of shit. Every time he's, oh, no, no, he said it, right? And so they planted 25,000 to 40,000. And that was 1932, right? And at each game since then, when you've had the Olympic since then, you've planted more palm trees. So the reason that L.A. looks like L.A., like what it's synonymous with, if you were to do a silhouette of L.A. Palms right there.

Palm trees. It's kind of the only thing in the silhouette, really. Yeah, a couple of buildings that you, undescriptive buildings. Palm trees. Dodge a stadium out the door. Beverly Hilton. Yeah. Yeah, the Beverly Hills Hotel.

I think there's Palm Trees in their emblem, probably. There's palm trees everywhere. That one there, the wallpaper's all palm trees. but yeah even if you're like you see people's videos or movies every time you see that the palm trees you uh see it might be beverly uh that's a lovely hotel that is a nice place man that is nice over there um yeah i uh i uh i didn't know that at all man i love the fact that uh that australia has so many amazing people though man that's just one thing that i loved about it just fucking and it's peaceful man it's safe dude that was one thing i realized

you're in australia it is safe it is safe you're like oh this is nice but you know Look, I don't want your audience turning on me. I'm the gun control guy. You know what I mean? I've lived in America long enough. It's, yeah, Australia is a very safe place, but not without, you know what they're having at the moment? They're having a, you know how like the turn in your guns?

They're having machete bins. No, uh. In Australia, machine. Machete bins. This is a brand new thing that, like, um, where you're, people having issues with the shetties? Disposable bins, right? Let me see it right here.

An Australian state has asked citizens to surrender machetes at disposal bins ahead of a statewide ban on the weapons aimed at combating knife crime. Australia's state of Victoria on Thursday announced that more than 40 machete disposal bans will be available at police stations across the state to allow citizens to safely get rid of the weapons without a penalty before September 1st ban. They reckon people are just throwing food and stuff in there though. Oh, yeah. Just recyclables? I just, yeah, just throw in an arm just from your last murder. And you go, I just, I'll throw the machete in as well. Look at this fine right here.

Those who did not surrender their Mercedes during the amnesty period may face imprisonment of up to two years or a fine of more than 47,000 Australian. Wow. 37.1 American. Yeah, look, there is a little bit more Nanny State in Australia. We do have, there's more speed cameras. You notice it when you go back. Yeah, it's a little strict. They do a thing in Australia that I find with around long.

weekends. So Easter, for example, you know, a long weekend, they will have the death toll on the TV. Oh, really? Yeah, where they talk about how many car accidents and how many people have died during this long weekend from drink driving or from speeding or whatever, and they'll go by all the states, you know, five states. See who has the most? Yeah. See who's, bloody Western Australia is doing terrible this year with five deaths on the death Toll, we also, four deaths in Queensland, they're not doing well. Oh, Victoria, one death. Well done.

Boo. Somebody yells boo from behind a camera. But imagine doing that in America. Imagine like a Labor Day weekend. We're going to count up all the deaths that are happening on the highways, and then we're going to report it, and we're going to shame everyone. Also, long weekend, they do double demerits. Oh, no, for what, if you get in trouble?

Yeah, so let's say you start with 12 points, you lose one point for a seatbelt, three points for speeding, you know, things like that. Really speeding, you lose six points. I think America goes the other way upwards or whatever, right? You gain points on long weekends, holiday weekends, it's double. So seatbelt two, speeding six, man. And if you get 12, what's out, you're out? Oh, Australia has a bit of a double or nothing policy, which is like a thing we do.

Because people go, oh, but I need me car for work. Yeah. What if I can't do it for work? The Australian government goes like this. We'll give you one point. right? And you have to have that point for a year. And so, yeah, so you can either lose your license for three months or you can have one point for a year. And if you lose it, then you lose your license for a year. So you can't fucking

roll through a stop sign. You know what I mean? I like that. But it, but you put things on the Australian citizen. I think they take things seriously. A lot of Americans, there's a lot of Americans that take things seriously, but there's a lot of other fucking just fucked hard to you don't give a shit, you know? Oh, well, we have fucktards who don't give a shit. We're not short on them. Yeah. The world's got them.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe I'm being a little bit hard on Americans today. No, America, man, I always have to stipulate this, man. Fucking, what a wonderful place, man. Yeah. What opportunities and things you can do. Just the basic fact that you have 330 million in such a small place, right?

You know, when you're flying around doing gigs in Australia? You didn't get any fucking connecting flights, did you? Mm-mm. You just went to those cities. they all went through because we've got five major fucking cities right and then you drove out to the more rural places or whatever but like in America I got to stop in Charlotte because it's a hub to and I'm always complaining about it but then I think to myself how wonderful

that we can I've been here for 15 or 16 years and there's still towns I haven't played there's still cities I still have to go to I've been to most of them over and over again but there's so much space and there's also you can be a popular comedian in the Midwest, and that can be your territory where, you know, you have your fan base and you don't have to travel too far, or you can be someone who's just really popular in San Francisco or what, you know what I mean? Like, it's that diverse.

And people shit on America a lot because of your low rate of people who have passports, right? That's a stat they always say in Australia and Britain is like, you know, like 40% of Americans don't even have a passport. right and I used to think oh that is a I don't know the exact state stat what is it look at it right here as of late 2024 approximately 51% of Americans have a valid passport this reflects an increase from 46% in 20203 and 30% in 2008

compare that to other states compare that to Australia or England so so we're saying 49% of you don't have passports right right that is high that's a lot that is high like you're an international travel You think nothing of having a passport. Of course you should have a passport, right? Oh, you guys is 55, 55%.

55, 77 of UK, because you're going to holiday in France. It's a fucking two-hour train ride. Of course, you're going to do that. Yeah, you need to have that. Go for lunch. That surprises me, Australia is only at 55. We're only a little bit higher. Well, we've been catching up for some reason.

I mean, we're 30% in 2008. I wonder what's caused us. Right, so 30% is bad. Yeah. 30%, but I never understood it until I moved to America, and I'm like, well, you can do everything here. You literally have every weather condition that you want to enjoy. You want to go whitewater rafting. You want to go to a winter wonderland and fucking go into a resort up there.

You want to go tropical. I can take you down here. You want to see, you want to see big, you want to see big city thing. You want to go to Hawaii. Storm, quick sand. Yeah, yeah. You've got every environment. on earth is in the ecosystem of America.

Yeah. Plus, you got fucking Disneyland, right? You got Epcot Center that has fake environment. Exactly. You can see the whole world there. You don't have to go anywhere and just wander around there. Watch, it's a small world after all. That's how you can tell what all the different children look like.

Yeah, yeah. You know, so I get it because you don't really have to go anywhere. You kind of have everything that you need. But there is something beautiful about going one. thing that I remember when I first started traveling was the first people you see everywhere and this is one thing I always admired are Australians dude they're walking

balls to the wall they wake up they go they don't sleep they're nocturnal they're day turnal they're fucking lunch turnal and it's even weird you find us in places like Whistler right you'd be up in Whistler and go-day mate I'm your ski instructor for the day like can't we get a fucking Canadian on this you brought me a bloke from the desert

you know what I mean even black Australians you hear him You know? Like, good day, mate. And it's like a black guy. You're like, wow, that's crazy. When I was young, you didn't, okay, so when I was young, I grew up in a school that had a lot of, like, um, Asian kids in it. I think it was 50, 60% Asian and stuff like that. And there wasn't many black people in Australia. Then we had the white Australia. Then we're going to, right up until, I want to say the 1950s, it might have been later, right? And when it was whites only in Australia? It was, we will, you, you can immigrate to Australia, but it was for white people. And so the most dark as you got were Italians and Greeks. And their derogatory term for them was Wogg, and that was the most foreign people. But that's what shows how bigotry can go out the window,

because now they're the most assimilated people in Australia, Italians and Greeks. Melbourne has the second highest Greek population of any city in the world next to Athens, and that's including other Greek cities. Wow. Right? Melbourne's awesome.

1958, there you go. So they abolished the non-white immigrant. It was called the white Australia policy, right? It wasn't, I'm not just making it like. They didn't beat around the bush really. So in 1958, they got rid of that. And now we have, obviously, we have a lot of black people and some of that. But when I left Australia and I left Australia in 2001,

and then when I came back just to, you know, by about 2010, just, you know, on a holiday or seeing the family or whatever, to see all. So the Italians and Greeks were all westernized Australian by then with the accent. Then the Asians came in and then they – now you see Asian-Australian cricket players and they've all got the fucking voice. You know, you ever seen like a Chinese fella who fucking talks like this? Right?

And it's like – it just takes time. So they were the problem. And then now they're like – and these fucking blokes come in. And then so it just takes. It makes time and an accent to assimilate. That's what you need. Even now you see a lot of, like, there's a lot more black country music fans, and you see, like, a lot more, like, black kind of redneck or, like, hunting type of guys.

You're like, oh, it just takes some time. Exactly. And it took, it's kind of good, because they can't use those things to separate people anymore anyway. It took Hootie to make the first push, right? Hootie, I don't know who what Hootie's real name is, but Hootie. Darius. Darius, that's right. But his last name was Rucker, which kind of has, like, kind of a country tone to it.

So, yeah, dude, shut out. Darius Rucker, he does not get enough credit. Rosa Parks are country music, man. Oh. Like, you think about, like, and he left a popular band to go, I want to do country music in Nashville, right? Because he can still be touring right now with the blowfish, going, I only want to be with you.

Yeah. Right. We love a little Ireland. Yeah. And still be doing just fine. God, man. He's, yeah, that guy's done a great job. price is going up on just about everything. Everything. Dealing with money can be stressful.

But I always think that, like, when you say Black Australians and stuff like that, so the sports that we're into, Australian rules football.

Oh, yeah, AFL, man. Brisbane Lions, dude. FFL. Yeah, Fremantle, bro. When black people start playing that sport,

it's a rap. It's a rap. And they're hiding it from them right now. It's a rap. Because we've got like some Sudanese refugees that are started playing

who are excelling. Really? It's a game about jumping really fucking, like it's... Jumping, running, yeah. Yeah, it's a rap, right?

But I believe all sports... Eventually are a rap. I think now... So when I was growing up in Australia, I wore a Michael Jordan, Jersey like every other boy in the 90s, right? Because the best. The best.

I never got to see him play one live game. There would be wide world of sports, would show little clips of what happened in American sports. We would get the Super Bowl would be shown on our TV. No baseball, no basketball would get shown. Or like a Stingray kills a boy or something as well. It would be like one of the highlights for you guys on SportsCenter. But we had our rugby and we had our cricket and we had our AFL and all the, you know, great

sports, but now they've got an app called KEO where you can watch all the NBA, all the baseball, all the Premier League for fucking 10 bucks or 15 bucks, you know what I mean? And it's like, it's cheaper to watch those sports in Australia now than is. Now, I believe that, as I said, you had one NBA player back in the day, Luke Longley. Now we've got like maybe 15 Australian NBA players. We got, now we've got, it was the guy in the Super Bowl. I think about four or five punters in the NFL. Oh, yeah, that's class.

Because they learn from AFL to kick so long. And now they've just got at Australian universities, we're just training punters. We're just like, all right, this is our thing. Look at this punter right here. Let's get a gandal at him. There's Michael Dixon right there for the Seahawks, current Australian punters.

Lou Headley down there in New Orleans, Mitch Wischnowski. Shut up Mitch Wich. So we've got six current. Six current And I believe there's a bloke Who actually Played in an actual

He looks ass Yeah And the thing is Because punters never have to learn To learn to tackle So look at this fucking Lad right there Every now to get

Lou Headley dude Order me a fucking Lou Headley jersey That's him Every now and again There'll be a punt He'll kick your fucking balls off your bag There'll be a punt

And there'll be someone Return Get past all the defence You know They do that full run back The whole thing Oh yeah And the Australian blokes

Always tackle them Because they grow up playing rugby you know that? Yes. And so every time they're just like, oh, all they're as left as the punter.

Oh my God! Oh my God! Have you seen that? Right? Like that, it's always some Australian black going, gee, I can fucking tackle.

This is what we do. Yeah, I'm an adult male. I do this without a helmet, mate. Yeah, Lou Headley, dude. He'll kick your freaking arms off your body. That guy, wow. Dude, that's class,

bro. That's such a great call. It's like everybody should have that Australian punter. I think I love having more, I want more Mexican guys in the NBA, dude, and I mean real Mexican guys. Like 5-4, one guy?

What's his name for The Heat? He's the only one that I can. Yeah. I forgot his bloody name. They're not renowned for being tall, the Mexicans. No, that's why they got the one at UCLA, Jaime Hakkas. Yeah, Harkas. Yeah, he plays for the Heat.

Yeah, it plays for Heat now. And he's class, but he's not a All-Star. You know what I mean? I always think with like, also with sports, it just takes one person to open the door up for other kids to go, oh, yeah, you know, maybe I can, you know, we have Australians in the Premier League and stuff like that, you know, for a very small country,

I'll tell you what country kicks fucking ass for its size. Iceland. Really? Iceland's got 270,000 people. I might be out by 10,000 or something. And they made it to the Soccer World Cup. Oh my God, I didn't realize that. Statistically, they would only have maybe 20,000 eligible men of age,

the right age, the right whatever, and they made it the World Cup. And they fucking got through the first round. Class. They got to the round of 16. Unbelievable. Let's bring up that Iceland team. I even want to get a Ganderer. I feel like it's like, I think Christian McCaffrey's from Iceland.

Dude, I just went to Qatar not long ago. I know you're going to the Middle East coming up. I went to Qatar, and this is it. One thing that was interesting there was the soccer stadiums from when they held the World Cup are all still there because they don't really have that much regular use of them. So you have these huge stadiums sitting everywhere. Let's get a look at that team. That's amazing, brother.

Yeah, yeah. They don't even have a McDonald's in Iceland. Oh, well, that's probably why they're all in fucking doing good. Everybody is just all fucking geeked out. Their arteries aren't clogged up. Is that Jason Ellis on the bottom right there? Let me get a gander at that pick there. Oh, these lads are...

Dude, look how Icelandish. That dude is the third dude, that frickin' ice Indian. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm the ice Indian. That guy's fucking ready, brother. Wow, I bet it would be cool to be Icelandic. Have you been there? No, I almost went to Reykjavik, but it was the head of...

It was gay pride weekend. We were going to go, and I was like... There's nothing. Retrovik, Reckovic is it. Yeah. I just didn't want to be at there when it was just everything was very kind of overly gay. I was there when there was no... Gay shit happening.

There was no moon. There was no darkness. It was sunny 24 hours a day. Is it fun? They spanned the fuck out of me. They only get that for three months and the rest of it was not. But you're worried about the gayness? You're worried about...

I just didn't want it to be every, you know, at the hotel, every moment it's so much gayness. I guess it's probably what gay people think of like... Yeah, they have to walk into our hotels. And then they go, I can't be going here with all the fucking hetros. Oh, I bet they feel that way. Like, they don't want to go to Sturgis, probably some of them. You know, I think that's the whole parade.

It was just a few, look, and also, okay, so you know, like, in Iceland. I just didn't want guys, like, I'm at breakfast, and some guys keep trying to buy me, like, fucking, like, those, um, what are those eggs with a little ham on it and it? That's a cock you're talking about. No. Yeah, the eggs are at the base, and then there's, like, a ham. There's like a thing, you didn't want one of them bought for you. Yeah, I just didn't want somebody sending over a cock, you know?

Well, you know, okay, so. Not that they would, but if you know, if you know, if you know, If you are to be gay, I reckon Iceland's a place to do it. Because, you know, they have an app on the phone. So the population is so small that they have to have an app on the phone. So if you meet a girl in a bar, you both put your names in the app or your license into the app or whatever. And it'll tell you how closely related you are because everyone's fucking related anything, right? Then we got to get over there, dude.

So you go over there. We have a shot. So like third cousin's all right, I guess. Second cousin, no good. Warning. First cousin, how good are you at keeping a secret? 40%, 70%. But that's for the heteroes.

If you're gay, who gives a fuck of you a cousin? It's not going to... A baby's not going to be made, is what I'm saying. But you would still... Oh, no, you'd prefer not. Yeah. I don't want the gay people kicking off on me

like I'm saying they're all fucking their siblings. If you can avoid it. If you can avoid it, I say do. Yeah, dude. But if it's unavoidable and it's cold and the sun hasn't been out for six bucks and months, who am I to judge? And if you write not my cousin on the guy's back or whatever. Yes, exactly, exactly. You can, like, it would be nothing worse than ejaculating and rolling over going, so how's your mum?

She's still all right? Yeah, how's Aunt Nan? How's Aunt Bjork? Dude, I got to go over there. You went? I went. And I'm going to Saudi Arabia coming up And I find

I'll just talk about that thing Because you just talk about guitar I'm going to this thing in Saturday I've been given a little bit of grief online Nothing too much About going to Saudi Arabia Yeah a few people have gotten into The comics who are going

And the list is big It's Louis C. K. Me, Bill Burr Fluffy's going Whitney Cummings is going Oh, there's a big festival going out It's called the Riyadh Comedy Festival And here we go

Andrew St Andrew Shultz Aziz and Sari Bill but Jim, Jeffries, Jimmy Carr, Joe Coy, Kevin Hart, you know, Sam, we've got people. Great lineup, too, Jessica Carson, Numish Patel, wow. It's as good a line up I've seen in any comedy festival ever. Unbelievable. Now, people have been going, oh, how dare you go over there after, oh, they killed a reporter. That was the big one.

There's been a reporter who they killed. You don't think our government's fucking bump people. I think Jeffrey Epstein was fucking bumped off. Oh, I'm sure that, right, right. Every place. We've, we've damaged a lot of places. Yeah, yeah. One reporter was killed by the government,

unfortunate, but not a fucking hill that I'm going to die on. It's not my, you know, and I don't know the ins and outs of their government. So then they get into the live golf, right? All the golfers go off to Saudi Arabia for, you know, a king's ransom amount of money, and everyone's like, how dare they after how they treat their people and all this type of stuff. and the people are like, I don't know. Then you've got Cristiano Ronaldo goes over and plays there.

He gets an extra, $200,000 every time he kicks a goal as a bonus. 50 grand for an assist. He has like an SPF fee, I heard it. Even just putting it on before the games, they pay him extra to do that. That's crazy. So he's living there. He's engaged to his misses, but they've never gotten married, right? He's the first person in Saudi Arabia who's allowed to live with a woman who he's not married to.

They've made, they've gone. An exception. ever going, all right, all right. For Ronaldo, okay. He can do it. There's a lot of strong rules over there. So you can be angry at how they treat their people, how they treat the reporter. You can be angry at the golfers.

You can be angry at things. But what better than basically we are freedom of speech machines being sent over there. They haven't asked, they have not at one stage asked to see our material. They haven't asked. And I've been asked in some countries in Asia. I've been asked for transcripts of what I'm going to say. Oh, yeah. Right?

They haven't asked what we're going to do. And let's be fair, they have picked some fucking edgy-ass comedians. Some seriously edgy ones. Yeah, yeah. Some of the greats. They've picked some edgy comedians. They're very smart too. If you don't agree with how...

Bill Burr's bit of their, Schultz. If you don't agree with how they run their place, isn't this a step in the right direction? A hundred percent. Bringing free speech over. Yeah, yeah. Isn't this a sign that they're trying to do something? different with themselves. Yeah.

Like this would have been, the highest ranks of government would have gone, all right, we're bringing out 30 fucking comedians who are allowed to say whatever the fuck they want, who's up for this?

This is a positive thing. I agree. Well, here's the thing that I don't understand too. It's like to be, to live in a country where we're fortunate enough to have the freedom of speech, right?

Yeah. And to say things we want. Yeah. And then to judge other places, like I get judging them, but their rules are, that's what makes their culture, right?

And it's like, yes, we may not agree with some of them, and some of them we may deem as wrong, and some of them may be morally wrong or religiously wrong, but for that country, that's what's going on, right? Now, some of them, I get, it's like, you know, that's wrong, that's fucked up, but some things, sometimes you're just attacking kind of the culture of a place, right? So it's like... And us isolating them teaches us nothing and teaches them nothing. Yeah.

It also makes us look like this loud, know it all All the time. That's the thing I don't like, you know? Go live there for a few years, see how it is, you know? I mean, of course... Well, I'm not going to live there. Yeah, no. I don't want to put that out there.

I'm happy here. Jim Jeffries is coming over. He's going to be staying. Yeah. I didn't sober up for that reason. Dude, I will say this, man. When I was in guitar, they had everything was organized. There's nothing out of place.

It's almost like there's a ton of respect everywhere. Like, I mean, that's just what you see in public, right? Like, I mean, things are clean. Like, you wouldn't, like, people say the World Cup was wonderful. I was, I was anti. I was there, because I've seen, I saw the World Cup in Germany in 2006, and I saw the

Women's World Cup in Australia when that happened. I saw the Matilda's, the Australian women's team play. And, um, and I thought, why should we go to this little country that doesn't really have a soccer history or whatever like that? But everyone reckons the, fucking the crowds were super

chill. They reckon it was piss easy to get beer. They actually had beer taps out the front of the stadium where you... No-uh. Yeah, because they didn't want to... They're people actually touching it and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so, so look at look at him there. Look at the mullet. I thought you were just, had a dirty headdress on you. You know what I mean? I thought that one bloke on the left hasn't washed his cloth there. That's a thing. They called it a thob over there. Dude, they treated us so great. I mean, obviously, we were there to like do a show and stuff,

But it was just great to get to see the culture and be a part of the culture, a ton of, like, respect. And, you know, they don't, like, a lot of them don't drink or they don't do it. Like, it's not as public here. There's not pubs and bars and shit. I didn't notice anyway where people are just drunk, you know, it's like, I don't know. It's definitely different. I thought it was really unique, you know. I thought it was unique.

I was talking to my friend the other day about this. Okay, so I, you've gigged in the UK. Yep. Right. How good is a pub in the UK? Good. It's good. It's like a living room.

Even in Ireland, yeah. Yeah, Ireland, even better. Is that part of the UK, yeah? Well, it's not. No, Northern Ireland is part of the UK. Ireland is its own place. But they have reciprocal passports. You can live in either country.

So, you know, it's that part of the world. Yeah. And the pub is just so good. And I feel like America is missing that. Sometimes they try to recreate an English pub. But I feel like what they're missing is you've got two levels of bar. in America. You've got fancy-ass fucking bar,

like really, like everything's shiny and clean lines and unique and the glass back with all the bottles and all the type of stuff. Almost a nightclub chic. Yeah. And you have the dive bar

that is on Bar Rescue where there seems to be fucking gaffer tape holding everything together and it just sort of smells in the carpet sticky. Yeah, some woman's living in the ice machine.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, you're like, you're like, can I have a bloody mirror? And they're like, yeah. And then they read a book. Oh, then they just punch a woman And they just bring her over Like, here she is

That was kind of a joke My brain's tired, I think you for love Good of fun, brother, bit of fun Anyway, so So I think America's missing That middle bar, which is nice And everything's clean But I can still walk in in a t-shirt

And not feel like I'm, you know And I don't have to line up And I don't have to know a guy And it's just, they need to have more homely bars But Yeah, we're missing that neighbor bar that's more popular in every place. Like one thing in the UK, they have all those, like the white star, they are the, what's that bar?

They have all in almost every town there. I think it's called the red, no, white lion, maybe. Which town is this? The White Star Tavern is an award-winning pub, restaurant, hotel in Southampton. Southampton. No, it's, this place is everywhere. Oh, they have chain ones, but you don't even know that they're a chain in Britain. No, they don't look chain at all.

And they're just kind of like in every town they have them, like on high sea. There's a chain called Weather Spoon? which is a company that owns a ton of bars across Britain. There we go, J.D. Wetherspoons. One of the most well-known examples, J.D. Weathers, it was simply spoons, they call it. Well, I performed in the corner of a few spoons in me, don't. Have you?

Oh, yeah, man. Yeah, man. Dude, I performed in this one place in South Dakota. They had a parrot in the bar. It was like part of a thing, right? And every now, and sometimes it could say some words, and sometimes it would repeat a bit of your punchline or something. Oh, it actually, like, go, yeah, it's a p.

That's something, you know. I'll bleep that out, yeah, but. That's a bit of fun. Yeah, we'll leave it in. It's your podcast, mate. It's true. I didn't say it. You said it.

If I'm in trouble for sitting next to you saying it, then the world's gone too far, I think. Yeah, and that's gay. That's like, sort of my new special, man, I want to talk about it just quickly. Just, uh... Yeah, I want to talk about the two-lim policy, man. And I'm glad that you had to set that in stone because it's just amazing the levels of people will go around, you know, to try and cheat the system. Well, I do a meet and greed.

It's they normally just join the meet and greet. You do it for free, I know too, which I think is pretty amazing. Well, okay, so for the disabled people, it's for free. I do, I do a meet, I do a meet and greet with a ticket with the people in the front row. Oh, that's fair. You know, but like 50 people. Yeah. And then the disabled people are included in that.

And the disabled people, God bless them, they always wait till the end of the meet and greet. I'm like, you come first. Don't worry about it. I know you're seated the whole time and the rest of them are standing. But I always get off stage. I used to drink before I went to say, and the first day. And the first thing I do is pop and edible because it helps me sleep. And it's also my way of chilling out.

I don't go out to bars. I don't do anything. I'm not bloody, you know, I'm happily married man. I'm not out chasing tail. I'm just, fucking, I just chill into my. And then I do the meet and greet. And then I talk to everyone a few minutes as I meet him and chat to them about whatever they want to chat to me about. But you know you're too high when someone's paid $80 to meet you and they stop the conversation.

And there you go All right Jim It was great meeting you And you're like this Oh God I just bored the shit out of these people And they just paid to meet me And they found me boring

Yeah They're like hey Jim It's getting lady I got something in the oven Jim We got a sitter So Jim's like Wait wait

Yeah I just Enjoy this show Come back next time Yeah dude I think it's Congratulations How many specials do you have now?

That's special number 10, but it's special number six on Netflix. I think I actually have the record for Netflix. I think you have the record total for anybody. I think it's 10 specials. Well, there's people I think Carlin had 11 or something like that, but I have

the six is the hellbound's just a thing, so yeah, one, two, three, four, five, three. Ten. Yeah, ten, yeah. Oh, no, hang on, hang on, we haven't got the new one. Oh, yeah. Two-lim policy. Two-lim policy's got to go down there. Well, Contraband was just a DVD.

Swear to God was HBO. Alcoholics was Showtime. Then there was epics. And then Bear down is Toilin Policy, which is on there, are all Netflix. And I think Chappelle has like five Netflix's or something like that. But I was just lucky. I was, there was, okay, so there was five specials came out on the first ever Netflix. Netflix didn't do specials.

Netflix and just like Netflix was still more of a, this is about 12, 13 years ago. And they brought it, they had billboards up. Netflix is a joke. They started. This is before the festival. And they were getting into the comedy special market. And they selected five comedians. And I remember people like actually going, oh, you were on HBO and now you're

on Netflix. Someone's career is going well. Like really. Yeah, somebody from that little guy from family guy or whatever. Yeah, a little patronizing facts, right? Anyway, so the five comics they had were me, Bill Burr, Chelsea Handler, and Chelsea Peretti. Wow.

Right? So it's a good lineup, right? really good lineup of comics and they were just if these specials go well we will continue if they don't go well we gave it a go that was netflix what the feeling i got from them yeah and the fifth comic we were going to they were going to do a press conference and everything and i was like so it was bill cosby now no one's ever seen that special that special is never really but he did record it he recorded one for netflix it's never been seen have you seen it no you what you think netflix give me a special password that no one else gets i still pay for

my fucking Netflix like everyone else, man. Dude, that's a good point. I freaking have a Netflix person. I'm freaking pay for Netflix too. Yeah, I've got six Netflix specials and I have to log in like everyone else to watch me. I have fucking two accounts, one year and one Nashville. They tell me off when I'm in an Airbnb. They go, you've logged into too many devices.

Me? That's one of the things I do. When I'm in an Airbnb and someone else has already logged into Netflix at someone else's account that I've never met, as I leave the house, I put my special on. I think, one more rating. Get one more. That's it right there.

Here we go. So he's 2014. Bill Cosby 77. Is it unreleased 2014 stand-up comedy film, film before a live audience at San Francisco Jazz Center in California, around 60 minutes in duration. Cosby pontificating on matters of children, romance, and matrimony. Yeah.

You know, when he came out of prison, the first thing he did, because I was at flappers like that night just trying stuff out. And then I went to the improv, like a couple of days later. and he rang every comedy club was the first thing because he would have rung one of his managers and they're like, hey, we don't rep you anymore, dude. And then he rang up the comedy clubs as he was at a prison.

His first impulse was, I want to do stand-up. Get back on stage. And there's a bit of me that wants to see that. Don't you? Like, as terrible a man as he is, you know, but I want to hear how he fashioned a shiv out of, in prison, you know what I mean? Yeah, I want to hear how, like,

if he was still doing, I guess if he was still doing rapes in prison or whatever too. Or what, like, is there a group in prison if you're a raper? Like a scene, you know what I'm saying? Or like a group of, you know what I'm saying? Because who do you, because once you get into, things get very tribal in there. So like, do you associate with people

that kind of have similar crimes? I think everyone just, he was, he was one of these people who was almost blind. He's only like 10% of, he's got cataracts on his eyes. I think they just left him alone and he's probably probably people were starstruck. You know, you're all, you're all criminals. in there you know what I mean like dude a friend of mine uh did cocaine with OJ Simpson once

right and in New York City and as you do yeah and they said uh that nobody had a car key on him there was doing bumps of cocaine and OJ had a knife on him that he pulled out and used it to give everybody cocaine and I know my friend's not lying about this is obviously after the murders this isn't like the night the night before yeah but just imagine that like imagine be, because, I mean, he had that book, if I did it. Like, imagine it's being that psychotic that you're going to live right there on that line of just, just, like, grotesqueness, really, for people. It's funny, because drugs are the thing, aren't they?

Drugs are the thing that, that if you do them in front of people, that's a real sign of trust. Yeah. That I'm letting you into my circle, that you're going to watch me do this thing, that I could get in trouble. you know there was there was there was there was a comic i know and i won't get you know because he doesn't want to be known about this at all and his career's going fine and so stuff but he was doing it you know and then one of his mates sent out a photo

of him doing it to the paper and then it was just like you know like fuck you dude like fuck you you know i've i've back in the day 20 years ago i've done drugs with famous people in the room and and i'm a blabber mouth i'll fucking tell any story i can to get laughs, but I've never slipped up on that. I feel that's an intensely private thing. Yeah, I think it would be awkward. Except for O.D. Simpson, where of course I would fucking do. You have to tell that.

If it's a murderer, you can talk about the murderer. Who's y'all's best murderer over there from Australia, you think? Well, Chopper's not bad. You know what was good about Chopper is they made a movie about him. The movie was massive, right? He's dead now. And then as he was dying, he went on 60 minutes and talked

about more murders that he did after the movie. No. Wow. He basically became a stand-up comic afterwards. After the movie came out and he went and did a raconteur night with Chopper where he'd tell his stories. And anyway, so then I stabbed the little cunt and fucking, you know, he did all that type of stuff.

And a bloke came up to him afterwards who was like some guy from a gang that he had a fight and he came up with a book to the book sign and he went, Gide, chop, chop, he goes, oh, it's been a while, mate. We used to be adversaries, didn't he think he was all water under the bridge? Then he killed that cunt. Really? already, yeah, he was already fucking. And then so he's dying. He was off the clock at that point. He's dying of cancer, like a few weeks left. And so he just goes on 60 minutes and talks about

his other murders. You have to. Fucking. You have to. And everyone could do an impersonation of him. Everyone does the impersonation of Eric Banner's impersonation. Rather, you know, it's two impersonations removed. But do yourself a favor, man. Watch the movie Chopper. It's a fucking banger of a movie. There's this one scene where he shoots a guy because he's like, where's the drug money, where's the drug money, where's the drug money, where is it, where's no money, there's no money, there's no money, there's no money,

you know, all show me the fucking money, I want to see the fucking money, I want to see the fucking money, like that, right? And then the guy's just like this, and then he feels bad for him and he drives him to the fucking emergency room himself. Oh, wow. Right? Yeah, that's tough to do. It's hard to drive when somebody's when there's that energy that somebody's bleeding

in the car. Is it? I find, yeah. I've had friends bleeding and you're trying to get there and they're kind of pissed. You're like, I'm taking you, you know? And it's like, but it wasn't a gun wound.

It was someone cut themselves or something. Yeah, it was like a knife wound. But yeah, still like, I think there's that nerve, that there's that scary energy. Or I had a friend who went in a labor

and had to get them to the hospital. It's like, fuck. The, the birth, going in for the birth, that is, would you do it again?

Oh, I can't. I've had a vasectomy. You could do it. I could reverse the, well, I don't reverse the vasectomies anymore. you know what they do they just put a needle in your testicle and they extract the

semen no and just give it to your wife and then just give it to your wife so if if if if if I ever wanted to have another one I don't know would that be like some old ass come that's just sitting around your belly but oh here we go Ivan Malat here we go so he's the backpacker murder Ivan the the the movie Wolf Creek you've seen Wolf Creek oh yeah scary dude that's based on Ivan Malat now Ivan Malat was this guy in the British backpackers if they broke down he went and helped them out with their trucks and then they were never fucking seen again and they don't know every now and again they would find a body i think he's dead he's yeah he's dead um i every now and again they'd find a body and they'd go they'd go uh

and i'll have him would go yeah that one's me as well oh you fucking got me do you ever meet any of these guys okay i never met any of them but there was i have a story about there's one called the clermont killer mm-hmm uh clamont killer was, when I was in university in Perth, and I was getting into, I'd done stand up when I was 17 and then stopped doing it. And then when I was 20, I took it back up again. I'd done like four open mics. And then I thought, I'll give it another go at it because out of the three or four open mics

I had, I had a couple of bad experiences and I was scared. Yeah. So the Claremont killer, this bloke here. Bradley Robert Edwards. Yeah. So man convicted of murder, the crimes happened. That's when I was at university, right? These are the years when I was at university.

So the place was a... Now, Claremont was a very posh area in Perth, and it was a big nightlife place, and all the girls allegedly went to get a taxi or whatever. And so all the taxi drivers are being checked for DNA, and that type of stuff. You know, when you're starting in comedy, what do you do to get more stage time?

You run your own gig. Yeah. We've all done it. You set up a gig in a pub, all MC. Invite all your friends. Invite some other open micas that you've become mates with. Invite all your friends. And this is how you start.

to work up to get good at it, right? And luckily for me, all the bars in Claremont were dead empty. They needed punters. So the bar, the Claremont Hotel, which is like, which is one of the nicest pubs in all of Western Australia could have no one there on a Friday or Saturday. And so it's like, it's like, I'll make sure we all drive in and there's always designated drivers and other type of stuff because all the rest of the girls got in

cabs. Everyone stayed together. all my mates from university, we used to go out into the murder zone to watch me do stand-up. That's fucking class, dude. We had a guy, who did we have? We had the Baton Rouge serial killer when I was in college over there. Bring him up, and that was Lee. Harvey.

No, Derek Todd Lee. DT.L, they called him. Oh, here we go. DTL. He was DTF, too, I think. He was a killer and rapist. Not a lot of black cereal. kill killers. I watch a lot of true crime. Yeah, because they kept saying he was white and they kept

like swabbing all the honkies in our town and everything. And then they called him. They called him right there, peanut. They called him too. Some people called him peanut. Did he get killed in prison? Where is he today? He probably looks like he could work for UPS. You don't have the death penalty down there? I don't know. I mean, if you're, you hang out in New Orleans long enough, you'll get shot once, but I don't know if that's the death penalty. That's just like tourism. So you grew up in, like, not in New Orleans. Yeah, regular town. Covington is our town.

Covington. Yeah. No Aussies near us. I've very much, it's a funny thing about like, all the Australians who come out, they go, I'm coming out to L.A., I'm going to come out to L.A., and then they come and visit me, and they go, where are you going to go? Oh, we're going to go to New York, and we're going to go to Orlando, right? That's all the three places.

They go. Is that the main spots? I was wondering what are the main spots that Australians go in the U.S. I just, I've been telling people, go to France. fucking Nashville man it's like it's like as much fun they'll go to Vegas as well of course yeah right and I'm like go to Miami go to New Orleans there's like these places that are fucking awesome there's so many cities in America where you're like this place is fucking a bag and there's also hidden gems in Australia that you might not know about like a lot of

people might go to Brisbane instead of going to the Gold Coast and the Gold Coast has got a lot of fun things to do oh the Gold Coast was amazing dude we would take we got bikes and went and you could ride them on the sand on the beach those motorized bikes do, just zipping. I mean, the beach, it was like 70 miles long. You're just cruising absolutely beautiful, you know? Dude, that was, that was amazing. That's our Miami in it. Yes, it was. And it was just like. But a little bit more rednecky Miami. Yeah, a little safer though, too, cleaner. Yeah, yeah. Oh, no, it's a banger. It's a banger. It's a banger. But how did you find the sun? You had to sun's green. Well, we went to New Zealand and the sun there

will kill you. You can't stay out very long. Some of the beaches there. Well, the whole, the hole in the ozone layer is over Australia in New Zealand. There's one, I believe on the North Pole and the other ones down there. But I'm an environmentalist in the sense that I believe in global warming and I think that we need to make adjustments. Otherwise, the world's fucked and the water levels are going to rise. And a lot of people don't believe that. But I will say this. We got rid of the CFCs from the hairspray, from the refrigeration and from the styrofoam, which was the three main places where CFC, and the hole's getting smaller. It does, if we make change, that is a good example of how things can actually fix itself.

Right. You know what I mean? Because we really found out about it. Like we've got, there's a layer. In the 80s, they were like, there's a layer. Oh, yeah. And sadly, there's a hole in it. And we're fucked.

Fuck. That's the most, I mean. And like, can you imagine now if they brought that out at news, the internet, the conspiracy theories that would come out now, if you. you went there's a mystical layer around us and there's a hole in it and the the the ubi rights go through there and then they nobody would believe that it's too far-fetched but it's the same as like the first can't just tell you about germs oh there's these things you can't see that'll get on you and make you sick and if you're you know doing surgery or stuff you should wash your hands because

if those germs get into the cut infections will happen what what do you mean oh you can't see them. Like they're ghosts? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They're microscopic. They're little tiny things and they'll jump it. That's fucking, that's, that's, that's, that's, science fiction shit. Yeah. That's, that's completely science fiction. Everything's kind of like, everything's science fiction really until, you know, until it becomes true, I guess. Everything's, I don't know, my brain is sharp. Reese Darby, who you know, Reese Darby from our flag means death, fly the concordes. I say, he's a big, bigfoot guy. Is he? He loves Bigfoot.

Those Australians have their own big foot? We, there's probably some. Oh, we have a Banyip. Banyip? Banyp's. Let me see them. Banyp. Yeah, a Banyp is like, say B-U-N, Banyu, there we go, Banyp.

There it is. A mythical creature from Australia, Aboriginal folklore, primarily found in the southeastern regions. It's described as a large aquatic beast in having swamps, billabongs, creeks, and waterholes. Yeah, the bunyip. Oh, yeah. What Reese always says to me, I go, I go, where's the bones?

Where's the fossils? Where's the thing? And he always goes, the platypus? Because the platypus was a mythical thing until someone actually caught one. There was people who said, I've seen it. It's the beaver with a duck's head. Yeah. Right?

Yeah, yeah. It's a trans beaver or whatever. And they're so elusive and they're so at the bottom of these creeks and stuff like that. And no one ever saw them. They were a big foot of its time. And no shit, they look like, like they are totally fictional. If you look at that animal, I mean, that's insane looking. They're their own breed of animal.

They're a monotram, monotrum, which means that they are a marsupial that lays eggs. Wow. So every other marsupial uses a pouch, and obviously the animal crawls into the pouch. It digests, and it gets bigger and bigger and bigger until it can stick its head out of the pouch, et cetera. But this is, yeah, it's a marsupial that lays eggs. It's its own fucking creature. man. They're beautiful. We've got to get somebody to bring one in. I would love to see one. Well, I've only ever seen him in the zoo. You think they're keen to people. I've never seen one

in the wild. They're on one of our coins. You know, we always put a different, that's a great thing about Australia is. We have, uh, we have some good looking weird areas. There's the platypus and he's all swimming around 20 cents. That peepus right there. Yeah, he gets on the, he gets on the money. He's popular of the platypus. I love them. And are they only in Australia? Yes, they're only in Australia. Oh, wow. See, that's a great thing. You guys have like it's just something unique over there man i really think that uh i i wonder if people i wonder if people are excited about the direction america's headed i wonder if people i don't know i just get paranoid that everybody's kind of freaking out right now okay are people

are people freaking out in australia right now yes everyone's freaking out all around the world really yeah the world is in in a transitional phase which direction we're about to go in who knows things might, you know, look, I'm an anti-Trump guy. I know you've met, you know him, right? Yeah, I mean, as much as you can kind of know, I mean, I'm actually, you know, I've met him a couple times, you know. Right, and I know that a lot of people, fans of this podcast are going to hate me, right? So, but that's life. That's putting yourself out there, right?

I'm at the stage now with Donald Trump where I can't argue anymore. I've done the stand-up routines. I had a TV show where I talked about it. There's no more arguments for me to make about the guy because he's not getting fucking voted in again. This is it. Right. These next three years, this is it.

It's here now. So I'm of the opinion. Let's just fucking see how it goes. You know, this whole idea that Americans are always with impeach, impeach. He's been impeached. Bill Clinton was impeached. It's all bullshit. Yeah.

Means fucking nothing. Yeah. It means anything, oh, but he's a convicted criminal. Only makes him stronger. What the liberals have to stop doing is kicking up and down and going, he's wrong and this is wrong, and just figure out ways to beat him. Stop fucking telling me how bad he is and figure out a way to fucking beat him because Kamala Harris wasn't the fucking answer, right?

Oh, I agree. You know, so. I agree that you got to figure, you have to, yeah, it's like you have to find a solution if you're just sitting there yelling about everything. It's all the, most of these parties do. But now there is no beating him. Now it's just riding it out. Yeah.

Right, just writing it. You know, it's, it's, it's, he, he said, was it on your podcast where he said he would get rid of income tax? Was it here? Whose podcast? It was on some podcast, it might have been, might even with Schultz. Might have been Schultz. He said, he said, if the tariffs work, I'll get rid of income tax.

I'll tell you what, I have been one of those people who referred to Donald Trump as Hitler, right? And I will also add this, not at the end, not up, because everyone goes, but Hitler killed six million Jews. I'm not talking about that year. I'm talking about Hitler just out of art school. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you know, I'm like, yeah, like a sophomore Hitler. Yeah, yeah.

So I tell you what, if he gets rid of income tax, you'll never hear me call him Hitler ever again. I'll be too busy calling him my furor. If he gets rid of income tax, you'll have no more complaints from me. I'll be all right. But, like, you know, look, I'll ask you a question. How do you think things are going? I think that I don't like this stuff with Gauze in the Middle East. I don't understand why we give so much money to Israel.

Like, you know, a lot of the big countries are against them right now. I think Netanyahu is like the new Hitler. It's like, or that Netanyahu is the worst. So it's like I don't understand that relationship. It's a tricky one that one because no one wants to watch a genocide and what happened that they shouldn't have taken hostages and no one, you know, Hamas isn't fucking angels and all that stuff. But if you can see those pictures of those starving kids and not be moved and not think

that we should do something about that, that's fucking, you're wrong. I agree. You know what I mean? So whatever side, and I don't want to get into what side I'm on, I think it's pretty obvious where I'm at, but whatever side you're on, right, we're all on the side of children not fucking starving, right? Yeah. We're all on that side.

So let's figure that out. And then diplomacy, let's fucking talk. Yeah, now we've got Palestine being recognized as its own state and stuff like that. Maybe that's somewhere where we can start moving forward. I don't have the answer. But what's going on now is not the fucking right thing. I'll tell you that much. And a lot of politicians have to, you know, we elect these people to actually make change.

All right, make change, man. You know, I could be turned in to a Donald Trump fan very quickly. it wouldn't take much if he just if he stopped that war there really like in a succinct way that was fair and just you got all my support in the world man

I'm not just here going fuck that guy and he's dumb fucking orange skin and he's bad comb over you know what I mean like it's not a it's so you were saying you're bad person

I want to see action I just you know it's like and then I wonder you know it feels very much like we're headed into a surveillance state you know these are things that I just like am concerned about

overall I'm I'm thinking But you were just saying how much you enjoyed Australia and how Britain, all that stuff. Britain's got more cameras than, more film 24 hours a day in the UK. I think we're headed there very quickly. That's why there's all this ice stuff. That's why they're pulling everybody off streets because they have to get inventory. In two years, there's going to be, I believe we're going to be in a surveillance state. You won't be able to, say if you walked out in public and you were not here, you didn't have documentation to be here.

And people have different thoughts on all that. That's fine. I'm just saying that if you didn't have documentation to be here, the cameras that would notice immediately. So everything has to be on the books. That's where I think we're headed. So that's why I think they're doing all of that stuff, which I'm not saying it makes it wrong or right, but I think that that's where we're headed.

But we've already got that. Okay, so Louisiana has that prison escape, right? You know, all those prisons? They caught them all through facial recognition. Who does, Louisiana? Yeah, you remember when there was that prison where they all ran off that loading dock, right? One's still out, I think. Who's that?

Is there one still going? They call them hot boy. This is the weird thing about prison breaks. Never in cinematic history have we followed. Have we championed the police trying to catch him? That's true. Every time we want, so we got one out. As of June 2025, the Louisiana inmates are no longer at large.

Damn. Yeah, they're all done. Antoine Massey and Derek Groot. It was the last two to be apprehended. Shut out Massey and Groves up. But this was the thing is there was facial recognition that picked up the people. And now they're like, oh, yeah, we have that technology here. Right.

They had to admit it. They had to admit it because that's how they caught them. And while we were using it for a thing, we weren't using it. They just sort of fluffed over it like, yeah, of course. They've already got it, mate. Yeah. They've already got it. You, have you seen, I'm going to support the Clippers.

If you go to that Inuit dome, have you been to see anything there? You don't, they're just facial recognition as you walk in. That's it. You've already done it on the app. As you walk in, they're like, hello, Jim. And you're like, wow. Yeah. It's walking in.

It's happening fast. It's here. We're not realizing that it's here, you know. But I'll say this. I just want people to be able to be, I don't, you know, it's kind of like ethereal, but it's like you want people to be able to live in a safe place. You want people to have jobs and have purpose. So those types of things.

I don't understand some of the bigger picture things like what happens with tariffs and what their goals are and all of that kind of shit. I just, it starts to really feel like that neither party represents the people and that's the part that kind of concerns me the most. Well, the tariffs, I just wish they, if you need to do them, okay, so, okay, I haven't felt any joy from it. I haven't seen my bank balance go up. I haven't seen my neighbor get a job. I haven't seen factories, you know, and I might be wrong, but just the eye check. I haven't seen any benefit from it. All I found is there's things that I'm paying for that are costing more, right?

But maybe it's too soon to, look, I don't. I think it could be too soon to tell. I think you have, I think, you know, he's a brash guy. Shit is going to be brash. Is he leaning in and making it more brash for no reason? He needs a cleaner fucking thing that we see. We go, this is how every day you turn on the news. this. We're going to tariff them 35% and this country's getting 30 and fuck you, 45 for you

cunts. You know what I mean? Like it's, it really is just a bloke just throwing numbers out there. If he had a thing with a chart, a very clear thing that said, this countries are getting this and this is the reason why and this is how we're going forward. I might not agree with it. I may not respect it, but at least I'd understand it. I agree. Get a fucking chart, man. Get us a chart. Things just seem very bizarre But I think I feel like they all know something That's going on are going to happen And we don't know it

That's a feeling that I have Any war could happen at any fucking stage I don't know if it's war It could be aliens It could be anything You reckon it's aliens You know? I don't know You reckon the aliens will wait until now

After all the yeah Okay so you think I've seen a UFO I said you know where I saw a UFO I saw a UFO With a plane of people I was on an aeroplane And I saw a UFO

and we all looked out the window, and went, oh, blah, blah, blah. In USA? In America. Wow. But we were flying over Area 51. We were flying near Vegas, coming back across the thing. It was probably, I don't think I saw an alien.

I think I saw a test vehicle being flown. But it was circular like a ball and it moved in those type of motions. You're no doubt you saw it. I saw it with a lot of people. I saw it with a lot of people. And have y'all kept in touch or anything like that? No, I didn't get my phone out, which I was. wish I did, because we all went,

whoa, and I was over Area 51. Area 51, by its own admission, is where they test new aircraft, right, where they test new aircraft. So I saw an unidentified flying object. I don't believe there were aliens in it. Now, could it be alien technology? I don't think, it's a really long way. I believe there's lots of aliens out there.

I believe there's tons of them. I just don't think if you came here and visited, you'd hover around a little bit and then duck off. I think there'd be more to it. I think they used to come here a lot and now this is like going to like an old theme park. I don't think they come here as much. I think like if you have to bring your kids here for like their spring break if you're an alien, their kids are like

fuck that place, you know? So I think they're probably off doing cooler shit maybe but what do I know, you know? I don't want to go there. It's like our planet in the 70s. We're like Panama City Beach or something Florida, you know? It's like used to be great but now they're all going to like Vegas somewhere and some other place. Do you think in your life

time, we will have proof of aliens. Yes, I do. In your lifetime. Yeah, I think something is looming in the distance it feels like. Because we have proof of UFOs. They've shown the footage. The FBI has released footage. Fucking you saw one.

Yeah, but it's unidentified flying objects. It doesn't mean... And it so happens that you seem to see them more in America. That makes no fucking sense. The Scottish sees them the most. Do they? Scots, yeah. They love them.

But they're heavy drinkers. Heavy, heavy drinkers. Exactly, dude. And it's always so. cloudy. You get a little bit of light coming through the clouds. Hey, hey. Hello. You have four. Seen it? Yeah.

You know what I mean? That's just the sun mate. That's just a bit of Raygun, lad. Jim Jeffries, dude, thanks so much for hanging out. I got a freaking guy, I got a show tonight. So I got a Can I just plug what I've got going on? Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah. Very quickly, I'll just get my plugs out of the way. I've got two-lim policy on Netflix right now. Watch it.

I'm very proud of it, happy with this special. I also have a podcast called ATM with me and Amos Gill that is coming out. I am in a movie coming out, a Jordan Peel film called Him, which is directed by Justin Tipping, produced by Jordan Peel, Marlon Wayans, Tyreek with his Julia Fox, and it's like a proper cinematic release and I'm like doing drama shit, man.

I'm like acting in that. And I have a TV show on. Fox, which is a reality show called The Snake, which is a lot of fun, which is my 12-year-old's favorite program, favorite thing I've done.
