They arrived with signed contracts. It just was just a coincidence.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Awesome source. Yes, that's an interesting title because it could
be I'm assuming it's not just about sources.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
No, it would be nice if it was.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
It's tasting session.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
It is.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yes, there will be a round of spices like that
Hot Ones kind of video show that people have seen
on YouTube. It's well, it's a term to describe positivity
and an overabundance of positivity and approval. If something's not
it's not just good, it's it's full of awesome sauce.
It's that good because I have I have found over
(01:11):
the years that I have been described, even by my
wife as being quote annoyingly glass half full. Okay, So
I'm a very positive person. So I thought, well, it'd
be nice to sort of do a show that's all
about finding the positive in the every day because at
the moment it's very easy to concentrate on the negative
and usual as comedians, that's where we mind most of
(01:33):
our stuff. So, yes, awesome sauce I've had. I have
had people say, I do not understand what the title means,
but just yeah, take it to mean it's it's good,
it's happy, it's positive, it's bloody awesome in brackets the sauce. Okay,
although sometimes are listening and they want to do a deal.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You never know, can we get tomato sauce on that?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Mate? Barbecue? But it's like, I'm a kid of the
from the eighties barbecue and now I never I never
really did barbecue sauce, And now I find all my
nephews and nieces the next generation it's all about the barbecues.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
This isn't it.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Father's favorite was bigger? Did they even do Father's favorite anymore?
Why was it just for father's I don't know. He's
now he's an estrange dad.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Mom's not happy about.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
There was an awkward split and father is now sadly
in an aisle by himself, sobbing every night.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Father's favorite now because I saw the brigade would be
up in arms.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Well that's a very good point. That is very up
there with awesome sauce.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You gotta be careful.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
You've got the sauce in the divorce. It's scary, isn't it.
Now we've got we've got a few friends who come
out with them. They're doing their fringe shows at mum,
which is wonderful. But does our friend Luki Bowland need
protection from now on? Because were you doing wrestler finishing
moves on this at a show of his?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yes, I I was part of a wrestling trivia show.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Of course, because that goes together called.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Wrestle Brainier and yes. At the end of it, the
idea was that the losing team were not happy. It
broke into a melee.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Wrestling shows off and do. And it's funny how when
you turn up they say, we've got this idea. We
want you to finish the night by putting a figure
four leg lock. On Luke now as wrestling fair. If
I just said that to you two, you'd say on
the who now? But me, I'm just like, of course,
not even a not even a problem that I can that.
(03:31):
I firstly know what that is, and b I don't
even need to practice it because of course I've been
doing that all of my entire life. So yes, we
finished the night and I slapped a very famous wrestling
finishing submission move on him, and it was it was
a bit of I quietly wept. I lived a dream.
I lived a dream. We've worked with each other through comedy,
(03:54):
but the first time I met him was wrestling in
one of the local wrestling leagues. I know, very handcore,
but it was a sold out show. Yeah, they'll be
doing it again in for Melbourne as well, so I'll
be doing it for Melbourne as well. It was great.
It's just sad how much like on the way there,
you're like, oh, I better do some homework on how
(04:15):
it like one hundred years of professional wrestling before realizing
I know.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Quite a bit. Yeah, pretty much the British.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Even to my nine year old who has recently got
into wrestling. As I was leaving, I said, I can't.
I can't put you to begs. I've got to go
to a show. And she said, what's this? What I said,
it's a wrestling quiz show. She said, dadda, you'll nail it.
Really it was wonderful and she let me have the
figure four and on my way I went, well done,
No one got hurt, No, no hur.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So it's an amazing number of logis. You've won sixteen
in total, right, three gold, but you've been nominated I
think nine times for the gold. What was that state
year old out earlier about Grove combined with Lisa mcune west.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Individuals with your name all as such as opposed to
show ones? Was you and Lisien mceingite a couple of.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I will take that that is awesome, more more than
Burton Graham Kennedy and that it's it is true. Well,
that's a that's a wonderful and very humbling statistic that
I wasn't aware of. Yeah it was. Look, it's it's
a it's a wonderful recognition when the people that you
(05:26):
do the show for whatever it might be, but in
my case, for all the years doing working on TV,
when an awards ceremony like the logis comes around where
the votes are cast by the people at home. It's
very rewarding when they say we're happy with what you've
done and we like it the most. To give you
(05:46):
a shiny little statue, you have to keep polishing. Of course,
take well, they're in a very special shelf altogether.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Doorstop.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
In a bottle opener, but look.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Each of their I've heard of Oscar winners who have
their as a toilet roll.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I don't believe them.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I think some people like to be dismissive of it
because it's not seen as being cool or or accepting
to to be proud of an award and accept it
and say this actually means a lot, and I'm going
to People might think you're a tall poppy or something.
But anyone who comes into the house wants to know
where they are and would like to see one and
(06:31):
to see what up closed friend. I have a friend
of one and ask what a friend is one? And
Emmy a friend who has a grammy. And every time
you go to the basically he got adjacent and of
course you want to see it. Take a polishing with
you everywhere I have it with him that I'll be
I'll be in the other.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Room seven, Curry said he gave his to a friend.
He's a friend of his.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
His birthday today, I might give him a call and
say that the surrounding. I think Rowena Wallace had a
gold log and she sold it, but that was but
she did get it back, which was from.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Mate. You were a free man, you believe, yes, you
bleed purple.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
So you're the new captain? Are you going to be
the new captain?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
What do you think of not being captain? Who's going
to be the new skipper?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I think it's good that he's not captain. I think
it's a very captain lee thing to do to step
down at this point. Obviously it was. It was tough
last year when the team was going so well with
him on the injury list, only because he's the captain
and he wants to be there, and it was looking
like the year where we would make it all the
way to the end, and you could see that he
was almost willing to risk injuring himself yet again to
(07:45):
get back out earlier than he should because he's the captain.
That's what you do. So taking that pressure off his
very injured shoulders absolutely is I think a very mature
call to make. He can still play. He's not done,
not retiring the full on, but just means he can
just play when he can, maybe in a different role
and allow someone else to be the leader on the field.
(08:09):
So I'm very excited. And as to who it will be, jeez,
I think I think we'll go co captain this round, all.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Right, because we had Monday and Ps doing it last year.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
So I think that all. I think that all that's
probably where they'll go because it's going to be tough
to make a call.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It might be easy between bray Shaws wrong and wrong.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Anyway, we'll have the chan.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I think that's awesome source the football.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Very rare that you would find someone who's willing to
get back to talking about wrestling, but I feel that.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Awesome source. We're a week away. It's at the Oasis comedy.
