A chat with Jimmy Carr is always a wild ride—and he didn’t disappoint, roasting Chrissie within seconds of the interview. We also catch up with Andy Lee about his new show Do Not Watch This Show, inspired by his children's series, and he gives us an update on his Aussie pub in New York.

Laughs funny.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
He's going to be touring Australia from Febnick she we
are so excited to have this man back in the country.
And when he comes to Australia, he I mean, he's
here for a while. Three months of touring. Now you
can get your tickets on someone out at Bone Presents
dot com dot are you Jimmy Carr?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Look, come, I lave why.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I can't believe your luck. I've lowered myself for this
once again.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Jimmy Carr.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
The last time I saw you, you called me a milf.
Speaker 6 (00:35):
Speaking of milf, though, what's the matter with her voice?
She sounds like it sounds like the project are doing
a seance and that's a voice from the other side.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
It doesn't sounds like I'm possessed.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I can't believe I'm talking to.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
You like this and I never got to thank you.
It is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me,
and I just want to acknowledge that and thank you
from the bottom of my life.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
You prompted, you prompted me to have a change in
my life. I got my eyes lasered directly after it's no,
I'm not not not that I would take anything away
from your I mean you're still I still would, but
(01:24):
I would now call you a guilt right, which is
a guilt grandmother.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
All right, we're sliding. We are sliding here.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Oh you've ruined it all?
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Did you?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Did you root it all?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Is what the girls normally says afterwards.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Did you enjoy the project at the time.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
We just found out after sixteen years that the project
is leaving us, Jimmy Carr, it's it's leaving our screens
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
What we do while we're making our team?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Is it going?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
What else are they going to do? What else they're
going to put on instead?
Speaker 7 (02:00):
I mean, they can't run a Jimmy Cars special at
a family friendly time.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
We know that much. I've seen your live show.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Jimmy Well, I mean, Neighbors is con the project is gone.
It's your cultural contribution to the world is diminishing.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
The bill took over. I think they're just going to
do reruns of that over here.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
That seems kind of crazy. That was kind of an institution.
It's a very nice thing to do to go and
do that show and let people know. I mean, it's
you know, you guys have got I don't know you're
missing When it's gone, I'd say, what are you going.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
To do now?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I mean that was your that was your present. What
are you now? You're not going to want the streets again?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Are you? Yes?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
On the strength of being called a guilt I've really
got to I've got a street walker niche Jimmy Carthy, No.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It's quite quite specialist that some of the customers like
it is I'm looking for a more mature lady.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
I love that.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
Hey, Jimmy, you know what, I'm fascinated by it because
you're such an intelligent guy, and I.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Love the show.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
I've seen the live show, as I said, but people
are interested in what you have to share on a
serious level too, So you know, there was part of
this on Joe Rogan which I want to talk about.
But I've seen some of the moments where you have
to turn when you ask for questions or comments from
the audience. Someone might ask a serious question and you've
got to make the decision whether to run with a
comedy angle or go Do you want me to answer
(03:23):
that seriously? Do you actually want me to answer that? Seriously,
that must be a bit tricky jumping from one to
the other.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Not really.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I mean I think in a show, I'll maybe do
two or three serious moments and that's enough. I never
try and overdo it because I've kind of got a
side hustle going on podcast now and being you know,
a public intellectual. But that's just a product of age
once you've had like twenty five years in showments. She goes, Wow,
I could you know, I know, I know something, I
(03:52):
know a few thing. It feels like there's a slight
gap in the market for that at the moment of going.
I wrote this book a couple of years ago called
Before or Laughter, which was like eckarc toole for dummiest.
It was like sort of like a self help book,
but for people that don't read self help books. But
you know, I think everything's better with a bit of comedy.
I think like life and wisdom is much better if
(04:14):
it's not too earnest. I think you can take life.
You can be very sincere and not terribly serious, and
that's a great mix for me.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, that is a beautiful you know what we're talking about?
Speaker 7 (04:23):
Just on Joe Rogan old mate Russell Crowe when he
spoke about going on the Joe Rogan and the experience
he had. I think he told us that he had
to sign off on the podcast recording going for.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Not only as long as Joe wanted to be, but
a minimum of three hours. Was that the experience?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, I've done Joe a couple of times. I think, well,
there's an unwritten rule if you do Joe Rogan that
if it's less than three hours, I guess you didn't
do well. You know, it's meant to be that length
of a comedy, but actually there's there's nowhere to hide
in a three hour podcast. That's like, that's your real
You've become more authentic. I think that's why some politicians
(05:03):
don't want to do that show, because they're scared if
they go on it and they're just you know, free
wheeling and not doing kind of talking points, kind it
gives them away that the mark will slip. So I
think that's there's something really nice about it.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Is he is he a griding interviewer, Jimmy, have you
done Louis throu as well? Who are the ones that
stand out for you that you really enjoyed going on
podcasts and talking to people well, Joe Rogan.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I think is a as a cultural phenomenon and as
a it's an interesting thing, like if you talk to
most people, they will go our people don't have the
attention span these days. I would disagree. I think people
do have the attention span, but only for good stuff.
And if it's three hours long, they'll listen to it.
But they'll watch a TikTok video for thirty seconds or
twenty seconds because that's how good it is. An amazing
(05:50):
conversation with a kid recently by some friend of mine's
kids at fourteen, and I said, what's your favorite song?
And he went, whole song, the whole song, just listened
to bits. He couldn't name a whole song. I like
the beginning bit of ben in Rapstick. I've never heard
(06:10):
the whole thing. And yeah, that's one thing. But the
other thing is people want to listen to three and
a half hours of Joe Rogan talking to Eric Weinstein
because it's fascinating and it's authentic. It's a weird thing
that I quite liked the idea that these comics, these
who are being authentically, just being themselves. That's what people want,
(06:31):
authenticity because when Megan Markle and Harry launch a podcast,
or Obama and Michelle it's guys as Death because people go,
it's just some nonsense. They no needing, it's over produced.
You want it to be tell of Trollway.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah, it's a really good point.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You are the busiest man on earth at the moment.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Well, Jimmy, you're coming to Australia starting at the end
of fib You're going to the Sydney I C see Friday, third,
eighth and March and then the Sydney Coliseum on theater
on Tuesday feed So you can get your tickets now.
But where are you at the moment, Jimmy, Where in
the world are you now performing?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I'm in I'm in roll Country. I'm in the very
north of Norway, a place calls Tronheim. So and it
should be late at night, but it isn't because it's
it's it's midnight and it's a light outside what time
the sun does not set. It's sort of weird because
I thought we did two shows that came out of
the theater and it was sort of daylight. When he went, Okay,
(07:28):
I guess, I guess, I.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Guess that makes sense if that's what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It's lovely to do a properly global tour and I do.
I think forty seven countries on this tour. By the
time I get to you, I'll have the hang of it.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
I would imagine, Jimmy, we can't wait to be here
in Australia again. Come and hang out in the studio,
all right.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, I'll pop in And Kate is coming back, right,
She's not being replaced by this club of night.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
The MILF is the MILF is helping out, is coming back.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
You've got no if you've got young listeners and I
don't think they can relate to someone.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
In her own You're absolutely right. If I if I
keep if I keep working this much, it's really going
to interfere with my pension.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You know, I think you should be You should be
thinking about doing little talks. Maybe book three spots on
cruise ships. That's kind of that's great.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Great, Joorge Fonder a bit more, Jane Fonder. Last Night
is two hundred and fifty years she's doing it spoken.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
We love you, Jimmy, can't you can go and get
your tickets at boone Presents dot com mate.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Can't wait to have you here at the start of
the year dot com.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
God damn you. And if you've got an elderly neighbor
in and see them and you know, just make them
feel part of the community. That anything, it's.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Reminded us there's a there's a knock at the door.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I'm not your nest. You love your buddy again, all right?
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Take care he TV Sits and Whipper with Chie podcast
A bit of a tread in the studio, Andy Lee.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Welcome once again, buddy.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
Nice to be oh and I wanted to have you
in in these wild times outside. I mean, you're angry
you missed the singles party last night. You're actually engaged,
and you have a girlfriend married Hey.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Married the date knowing she's obviously.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Married.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
It's written on your shirt.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Mate, Can I or just talking of his shirt which
is his jumper?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
But this is love because is it true that brought
you a jumper just for your press interviews today?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You're junking. This is the kind of girl and we're
going to marry. I said, I've got interviews and press
for the animation coming out, because yeah, I bought you
some cool like cool and more fun jumpers for the animation.
So she wasn't happy with your what you assume is
never happy.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
What I'm walking about is that a tiger cub and
knits a tiger.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Cub tigger from winning a Booh that is beautiful. Yeah,
that's really cute.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
She's setting a big stick, a huge standard if she's
buying you just for a press junket, I know.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I mean, she's got to live up to that all
the time. I hope. So, I hope we're sitting something
the groundwork for the next fifty years.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Beutifore she cares for you, mate. Now can we talk
about the show? Because I know how obsessed my kids
with these books? All right, so your book's a huge
six how many countries are they sold in?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I don't know how many countries in thirty five languages unbelieved,
So yeah, there'd be a bunch of countries that I
do not.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Open this book.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
It was just massive, and I've sent you videos of us,
me reading it with the kids and the whole Do
not turn the next page, do not turn this page,
and the.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Kids are freaking out.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Okay, don't you have to, Dad, go on, what's there now?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
It's a TV show?
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Awesome, Because you've been working a bum off on this.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, yeah, it's been a while. It's funny like that
idea of like, you know, kids being too scared are
not brave enough to keep going with the books. That
was a bit harder to capture the TV show because
you know, parents normally read with their kids. When it
comes to watching a show, they plunk them in front
of it and they go off and do something else
because it's that little bit of respite for parents, and
(11:18):
so we needed to develop a character to kind of
be that sure thing and help them through because some
kids do get scared while watching it. And Denise Scott
plays a tortoise, which is just this time lifetime. Yeah exactly.
She thrilled, but she's that helping, trusting hand. I don't
think there's any better voice to be able to help
kids through it.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Oh, can we have a listen? We've got a bit
of the trailer that way.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Jess, excuse me? What are you doing? You can see
from the sign over there you're not meant to be
watching this show. There are plenty of things you can watch,
but this show is not one of them. Instead, you
could watch that rock I love it. So what other voices?
(12:02):
H Dave Hughes plays a goblin. Naturally, Well that was
the best thing. He comes Intoto the recording studio and
he goes, you know what, what voice do you want?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I haven't hired you for your brilliant voice work voices.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
You're angry and you swear on social media a lot, exactly.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
What you want.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I was really surprised, and he thought that I was
going to try and test his ra What do you
want from me? All right? Joel Creasy plays a sassy
lime great. Yeah, lymon kiwi are two kind off side.
Remember remember the old guys and the Muppets? Yes, Yesler
and Waldoff. Yeah, it's kind of the new version of
(12:48):
that lymon K. We sit on the side and just
make quips all the time.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
And then this heaps the cameos. Glenn Robins plays my
dad Flakes in there, Broden Kelly, Chrissy swe On carry
Bigmore this year. I was just trying to grab me.
This is great. So we're on Friday, Yes, do not
watch it on Friday. I do not watch it.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
This has taken a long time to put together, isn't it? Animation?
So slowly? What are we going to do one episode Andy,
normally it's on a little conveyor belt. But I would
say about nine months for eleven minutes. Oh my god,
I know. But when you're watching it, don't think that.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
No, this took nine months. Oh man? Can we talk
about the pub of New York?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I love you too, because it's been one of the
joys this year for me. Isn't it funny? How mean
that's a dream? How people want to leave Australia go
to New York and then go and try in New
York because it's an Australian menu, isn't it? Yeah? Old Mates? Yeah,
there was, well when we were in twenty eleven when
(13:57):
Hamy's not doing Gap year, Yeah there. I think there
was six Aussie venues there were't all like strong Aussie themed,
and then there was zero and so we thought we
better fix that because you need a place to go
and watch the AFL or the NRL or I watched
the Matilda's win and the Pom. So we embarked on that.
We created Old Mates and it's just been so much fun.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Can I ask because it looks like someone has recently
moved in by a Hugh jackmany every time you're over there.
It's just out the front of the pub. And what
I mean, what's he doing? Is he doing like cheap
taco nights on Tuesday?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
He does bins, Bussy and bins. And then you eventually
funny you say that because when I was trying to
raise money for it, and we thought it'd be funny
to get Iconic Extraine for their money, and and all
these guys were meant to be silent partners, and I
was slowly working through and obviously Haim said yes, very really,
Paddy Cummen said said yes. Mick Fanning was first in.
(14:52):
Actually I ring Fano and I said, hey man, I'm
doing a pub. You know, we just thought it'd be
fun for Iconic in I was like, I said, oh, well,
can you just forward me to your finance team so
I can work out the particulars you're talking to him?
(15:17):
And so I was adding people to this WhatsApp and
it was just the WhatsApp of the partners, which turns
out to be quite an amazing bunch of pick with ours,
Bardi Pack Commons, Patty Mills, Mick Fanning, Hamrish, myself. We're
just kind of holding and in the hanging in there,
I think the others are far more right. But when
I added Hugh Jackman, as I said, Wolverine just come
out with Deadpool, and I'm like, I'm just adding an actor.
(15:39):
He's got to move out of the moment. Not sure
it's any good. Please don't bring it up, you know,
And everyone's like, welcome to you, welcome you, and pac
comings are great, wrote it's great to have someone on
the ground in New York to take out the bins,
et cetera.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Not even a welcome.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Do you know what, out of everyone in their group,
pack Coms is the only one that could get away
with that.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
I love the idea that you could walk in there
and would feel like if you Jackman's not there, well
there would be a seat at the bar or something
to suggest that that's a Jackman spot.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Well, I mean, what's been really exciting is Austrangs now
going through New York. Go oh, we'd like to do
something there. We got lucky with Dom Dollas reaching out
the opening night and saying, hey, I'm playing Madison Square
Garden the next two nights. I could do something at
your pub before and I really love what you're doing.
And so that set this platform of you never know
what you're going to see. We just announced a huge
(16:28):
Australian act who's going to play as well. But yeah,
the Wiggles are playing this week. I had.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Did that.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
De Niro rocked up with his daughter, I think his
eighth daughter.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
They might turn up to old mate.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Well, that's the fun thing. It's it's nice. We didn't
put any pressure on any of the partners that I
meant to be silent, but I got to start getting
text on the WhatsApp going how you can mention me
it's okay, And so the venue's fun that way. Let
everyone know, please. But Jackman's really embraced it. Been in
a few times in the last few weeks and last
Wednesday he was he took in Edward Norton and a
(17:06):
lefts River Yeah, which is.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Pretty Hey, what's the number one selling dish at the moment?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Out of the Parma, but huge argument on the Watson
realized to whether we call it a parma or parmi
ash Barty was hell benter at being a.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Parmiyah because it rhymes with Barty.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
That's what she want to.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
That's all we might have suggested selfish shareholders, mate, And
we know how busy you are.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
You've got a full day of a press junket, but
do not watch.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
This show launches this Friday, six am on ABC IVY.
Speaker 2 (17:39):

But I've seen some of the moments where you have
to turn when you ask for questions or comments from
the audience. Someone might ask a serious question and you've
got to make the decision whether to run with a
comedy angle or go Do you want me to answer
(03:23):
that seriously? Do you actually want me to answer that? Seriously,
that must be a bit tricky jumping from one to
the other.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Not really.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I mean I think in a show, I'll maybe do
two or three serious moments and that's enough. I never
try and overdo it because I've kind of got a
side hustle going on podcast now and being you know,
a public intellectual. But that's just a product of age
once you've had like twenty five years in showments. She goes, Wow,
I could you know, I know, I know something, I
(03:52):
know a few thing. It feels like there's a slight
gap in the market for that at the moment of going.
I wrote this book a couple of years ago called
Before or Laughter, which was like eckarc toole for dummiest.
It was like sort of like a self help book,
but for people that don't read self help books. But
you know, I think everything's better with a bit of comedy.
I think like life and wisdom is much better if
(04:14):
it's not too earnest. I think you can take life.
You can be very sincere and not terribly serious, and
that's a great mix for me.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, that is a beautiful you know what we're talking about?
Speaker 7 (04:23):
Just on Joe Rogan old mate Russell Crowe when he
spoke about going on the Joe Rogan and the experience
he had. I think he told us that he had
to sign off on the podcast recording going for.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Not only as long as Joe wanted to be, but
a minimum of three hours. Was that the experience?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, I've done Joe a couple of times. I think, well,
there's an unwritten rule if you do Joe Rogan that
if it's less than three hours, I guess you didn't
do well. You know, it's meant to be that length
of a comedy, but actually there's there's nowhere to hide
in a three hour podcast. That's like, that's your real
You've become more authentic. I think that's why some politicians
(05:03):
don't want to do that show, because they're scared if
they go on it and they're just you know, free
wheeling and not doing kind of talking points, kind it
gives them away that the mark will slip. So I
think that's there's something really nice about it.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Is he is he a griding interviewer, Jimmy, have you
done Louis throu as well? Who are the ones that
stand out for you that you really enjoyed going on
podcasts and talking to people well, Joe Rogan.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I think is a as a cultural phenomenon and as
a it's an interesting thing, like if you talk to
most people, they will go our people don't have the
attention span these days. I would disagree. I think people
do have the attention span, but only for good stuff.
And if it's three hours long, they'll listen to it.
But they'll watch a TikTok video for thirty seconds or
twenty seconds because that's how good it is. An amazing
(05:50):
conversation with a kid recently by some friend of mine's
kids at fourteen, and I said, what's your favorite song?
And he went, whole song, the whole song, just listened
to bits. He couldn't name a whole song. I like
the beginning bit of ben in Rapstick. I've never heard
(06:10):
the whole thing. And yeah, that's one thing. But the
other thing is people want to listen to three and
a half hours of Joe Rogan talking to Eric Weinstein
because it's fascinating and it's authentic. It's a weird thing
that I quite liked the idea that these comics, these
who are being authentically, just being themselves. That's what people want,
(06:31):
authenticity because when Megan Markle and Harry launch a podcast,
or Obama and Michelle it's guys as Death because people go,
it's just some nonsense. They no needing, it's over produced.
You want it to be tell of Trollway.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah, it's a really good point.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You are the busiest man on earth at the moment.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Well, Jimmy, you're coming to Australia starting at the end
of fib You're going to the Sydney I C see Friday, third,
eighth and March and then the Sydney Coliseum on theater
on Tuesday feed So you can get your tickets now.
But where are you at the moment, Jimmy, Where in
the world are you now performing?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I'm in I'm in roll Country. I'm in the very
north of Norway, a place calls Tronheim. So and it
should be late at night, but it isn't because it's
it's it's midnight and it's a light outside what time
the sun does not set. It's sort of weird because
I thought we did two shows that came out of
the theater and it was sort of daylight. When he went, Okay,
(07:28):
I guess, I guess, I.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Guess that makes sense if that's what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It's lovely to do a properly global tour and I do.
I think forty seven countries on this tour. By the
time I get to you, I'll have the hang of it.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
I would imagine, Jimmy, we can't wait to be here
in Australia again. Come and hang out in the studio,
all right.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, I'll pop in And Kate is coming back, right,
She's not being replaced by this club of night.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
The MILF is the MILF is helping out, is coming back.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
You've got no if you've got young listeners and I
don't think they can relate to someone.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
In her own You're absolutely right. If I if I
keep if I keep working this much, it's really going
to interfere with my pension.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You know, I think you should be You should be
thinking about doing little talks. Maybe book three spots on
cruise ships. That's kind of that's great.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Great, Joorge Fonder a bit more, Jane Fonder. Last Night
is two hundred and fifty years she's doing it spoken.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
We love you, Jimmy, can't you can go and get
your tickets at boone Presents dot com mate.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Can't wait to have you here at the start of
the year dot com.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
God damn you. And if you've got an elderly neighbor
in and see them and you know, just make them
feel part of the community. That anything, it's.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Reminded us there's a there's a knock at the door.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I'm not your nest. You love your buddy again, all right?
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Take care he TV Sits and Whipper with Chie podcast
A bit of a tread in the studio, Andy Lee.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Welcome once again, buddy.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
Nice to be oh and I wanted to have you
in in these wild times outside. I mean, you're angry
you missed the singles party last night. You're actually engaged,
and you have a girlfriend married Hey.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Married the date knowing she's obviously.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Married.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
It's written on your shirt.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Mate, Can I or just talking of his shirt which
is his jumper?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
But this is love because is it true that brought
you a jumper just for your press interviews today?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You're junking. This is the kind of girl and we're
going to marry. I said, I've got interviews and press
for the animation coming out, because yeah, I bought you
some cool like cool and more fun jumpers for the animation.
So she wasn't happy with your what you assume is
never happy.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
What I'm walking about is that a tiger cub and
knits a tiger.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Cub tigger from winning a Booh that is beautiful. Yeah,
that's really cute.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
She's setting a big stick, a huge standard if she's
buying you just for a press junket, I know.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I mean, she's got to live up to that all
the time. I hope. So, I hope we're sitting something
the groundwork for the next fifty years.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Beutifore she cares for you, mate. Now can we talk
about the show? Because I know how obsessed my kids
with these books? All right, so your book's a huge
six how many countries are they sold in?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I don't know how many countries in thirty five languages unbelieved,
So yeah, there'd be a bunch of countries that I
do not.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Open this book.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
It was just massive, and I've sent you videos of us,
me reading it with the kids and the whole Do
not turn the next page, do not turn this page,
and the.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Kids are freaking out.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Okay, don't you have to, Dad, go on, what's there now?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
It's a TV show?
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Awesome, Because you've been working a bum off on this.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, yeah, it's been a while. It's funny like that
idea of like, you know, kids being too scared are
not brave enough to keep going with the books. That
was a bit harder to capture the TV show because
you know, parents normally read with their kids. When it
comes to watching a show, they plunk them in front
of it and they go off and do something else
because it's that little bit of respite for parents, and
(11:18):
so we needed to develop a character to kind of
be that sure thing and help them through because some
kids do get scared while watching it. And Denise Scott
plays a tortoise, which is just this time lifetime. Yeah exactly.
She thrilled, but she's that helping, trusting hand. I don't
think there's any better voice to be able to help
kids through it.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Oh, can we have a listen? We've got a bit
of the trailer that way.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Jess, excuse me? What are you doing? You can see
from the sign over there you're not meant to be
watching this show. There are plenty of things you can watch,
but this show is not one of them. Instead, you
could watch that rock I love it. So what other voices?
(12:02):
H Dave Hughes plays a goblin. Naturally, Well that was
the best thing. He comes Intoto the recording studio and
he goes, you know what, what voice do you want?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I haven't hired you for your brilliant voice work voices.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
You're angry and you swear on social media a lot, exactly.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
What you want.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I was really surprised, and he thought that I was
going to try and test his ra What do you
want from me? All right? Joel Creasy plays a sassy
lime great. Yeah, lymon kiwi are two kind off side.
Remember remember the old guys and the Muppets? Yes, Yesler
and Waldoff. Yeah, it's kind of the new version of
(12:48):
that lymon K. We sit on the side and just
make quips all the time.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
And then this heaps the cameos. Glenn Robins plays my
dad Flakes in there, Broden Kelly, Chrissy swe On carry
Bigmore this year. I was just trying to grab me.
This is great. So we're on Friday, Yes, do not
watch it on Friday. I do not watch it.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
This has taken a long time to put together, isn't it? Animation?
So slowly? What are we going to do one episode Andy,
normally it's on a little conveyor belt. But I would
say about nine months for eleven minutes. Oh my god,
I know. But when you're watching it, don't think that.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
No, this took nine months. Oh man? Can we talk
about the pub of New York?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I love you too, because it's been one of the
joys this year for me. Isn't it funny? How mean
that's a dream? How people want to leave Australia go
to New York and then go and try in New
York because it's an Australian menu, isn't it? Yeah? Old Mates? Yeah,
there was, well when we were in twenty eleven when
(13:57):
Hamy's not doing Gap year, Yeah there. I think there
was six Aussie venues there were't all like strong Aussie themed,
and then there was zero and so we thought we
better fix that because you need a place to go
and watch the AFL or the NRL or I watched
the Matilda's win and the Pom. So we embarked on that.
We created Old Mates and it's just been so much fun.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Can I ask because it looks like someone has recently
moved in by a Hugh jackmany every time you're over there.
It's just out the front of the pub. And what
I mean, what's he doing? Is he doing like cheap
taco nights on Tuesday?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
He does bins, Bussy and bins. And then you eventually
funny you say that because when I was trying to
raise money for it, and we thought it'd be funny
to get Iconic Extraine for their money, and and all
these guys were meant to be silent partners, and I
was slowly working through and obviously Haim said yes, very really,
Paddy Cummen said said yes. Mick Fanning was first in.
(14:52):
Actually I ring Fano and I said, hey man, I'm
doing a pub. You know, we just thought it'd be
fun for Iconic in I was like, I said, oh, well,
can you just forward me to your finance team so
I can work out the particulars you're talking to him?
(15:17):
And so I was adding people to this WhatsApp and
it was just the WhatsApp of the partners, which turns
out to be quite an amazing bunch of pick with ours,
Bardi Pack Commons, Patty Mills, Mick Fanning, Hamrish, myself. We're
just kind of holding and in the hanging in there,
I think the others are far more right. But when
I added Hugh Jackman, as I said, Wolverine just come
out with Deadpool, and I'm like, I'm just adding an actor.
(15:39):
He's got to move out of the moment. Not sure
it's any good. Please don't bring it up, you know,
And everyone's like, welcome to you, welcome you, and pac
comings are great, wrote it's great to have someone on
the ground in New York to take out the bins,
et cetera.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Not even a welcome.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Do you know what, out of everyone in their group,
pack Coms is the only one that could get away
with that.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
I love the idea that you could walk in there
and would feel like if you Jackman's not there, well
there would be a seat at the bar or something
to suggest that that's a Jackman spot.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Well, I mean, what's been really exciting is Austrangs now
going through New York. Go oh, we'd like to do
something there. We got lucky with Dom Dollas reaching out
the opening night and saying, hey, I'm playing Madison Square
Garden the next two nights. I could do something at
your pub before and I really love what you're doing.
And so that set this platform of you never know
what you're going to see. We just announced a huge
(16:28):
Australian act who's going to play as well. But yeah,
the Wiggles are playing this week. I had.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Did that.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
De Niro rocked up with his daughter, I think his
eighth daughter.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
They might turn up to old mate.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Well, that's the fun thing. It's it's nice. We didn't
put any pressure on any of the partners that I
meant to be silent, but I got to start getting
text on the WhatsApp going how you can mention me
it's okay, And so the venue's fun that way. Let
everyone know, please. But Jackman's really embraced it. Been in
a few times in the last few weeks and last
Wednesday he was he took in Edward Norton and a
(17:06):
lefts River Yeah, which is.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Pretty Hey, what's the number one selling dish at the moment?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Out of the Parma, but huge argument on the Watson
realized to whether we call it a parma or parmi
ash Barty was hell benter at being a.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Parmiyah because it rhymes with Barty.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
That's what she want to.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
That's all we might have suggested selfish shareholders, mate, And
we know how busy you are.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
You've got a full day of a press junket, but
do not watch.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
This show launches this Friday, six am on ABC IVY.
