Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Did you see Sammy Jay's post the reel on his Instagram.
He's performing at the Canberra Theater and he plays a
character called the Coach sometimes and this isn't Sammy j
just happens to a similar voice, and the Coach just
posted this.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Good day, Canberra Coach. He just sliding into your DMS
to tell you that I'm having an election night party
on Saturday, the third of May in Canberra. Well on
not having it, but my mate Sammy Jays he's doing
his brand new show, The Kangarool Vecta on election Day.
I know what are the chances. It's not songs, stories,
stories of humiliation. It's a great show. It's getting five
star reviews. I'm not the one saying it. They're out
there in the public domain. So is Peter Dutton and

(00:36):
Geewezy needs some help. So I won't be there, but
you should get along see Sammy j Election.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's a thing that is becoming more apparent as the
week progresses, clashes with election day and particularly Saturday night
election count parties.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Because we all do them. We all get together and
have a party when the election counts happening.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Step backing like I'm the only one doing Sammy Jay's
on the line, Sammy j G, did you know when
you booked this that the timing was going to be
the big clash?

Speaker 4 (01:07):
No, I didn't, Rod, And I'm pretty annoyed at the
Prime Minister because he should have known that I would
want to be settling in with some Peter Dutton spuds
and some albow nart shows and some political themed Nivoli's
for my nerdy election night. But instead I'm going to
come to the Capitol and just having a party.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
We can have, Albo, do we have an election count party?

Speaker 4 (01:26):
If you weren't performing, I genuinely would like I'm I'm
a comedy lover first and a politics nerd second, and
so I've got to combine the two for a lot
of my career. But no, this is a real clash,
like even for my audience. I'm worried that I'll be distracted,
and I'll be distracted.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
You have to do it. So our rugby team, the Brumbies,
are playing Saturday night here at home, and so they've
decided they're going to have the election count broadcast up
on their big screen throughout the game to make sure
that people still want to go to the game and
they won't miss out on the updates.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
They say sport and politics should where we are.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
So maybe you need to incorporate that in your show.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
In fact, I've decided the government coach would we just
heard from, will be making I can confirm will be
on the stage at the start and the end of
my show at the camber at the Center to update people.
So I want people to know that they will not
be left out. I can't guarantee if he won't give
fake results all night, but he will be there. I'm
thinking I'm thinking of power sharing arrangement with Clive Palmer

(02:26):
and Adam Bant that sort of think it could be
anything that's thrown up.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
I tell you, between Clive Parlimer Adam band, why would
you even say that that is so scary?

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Did you notice, Adam? I'm sorry for interrupting, Sammy Jay.
Adam Bann made a big announcement yesterday and I read
the detail that was the Greens campaign launch yesterday three
days out from the that's a true story. Just see that,
Sammy Jay.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
I mean, I think it's it's a definition of something
to hide, and he's not the only one doing it.
I think that just release his figures the other day album,
will probably release some policy at midnight tonight. Everyone's just
running down the clock. Now.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
I wonder whether or not this if the polling of
yesterday is anything to go by, you might be in
a position with the real results to call it by
the end of the performance on Saturday night.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
I'll tell you what. I just was trying to explain
this to my kids, because I'm trying to raise some
politics nerds so far unsuccessfully. But I said, you know,
if mister Albeneasi wins this election, he'll be the first
prime minister to have returned, actually to be re elected
since two thousand and four. That was the last time
twenty one years ago when John Howard won in two
thousand and four, was the last time we've seen a

(03:34):
prime minister reelected, which is pretty staggering.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's extraordinary. And of course, Gabbie, you worked in one
of the officers down there years ago, and I remember
I said, who is your prime minister? And you said
which one? Because it's not until you stop and you go.
The musical chairs was so rife, and I hadn't realized
that statistic that we're over two decades since anyone's gone
back to back.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, it's pretty wild. So look, we'll see. But if
there is a result, I want my adience is to know,
even though my show is about an entirely separate incident
in my life, that they will not be wanting for
political results that updates.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
I was going to say, like, we're meant to be
talking about your show and your comedy, and here we
are talking about politics and prime ministers. Pat you worried again,
perfect that you're in Canberra for that.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Then it's actually wonderful. I love it.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
It is the blessing and the curse of being in
the nation's capital. Of course, you live in suburban Cambra.
You're no different to living in suburban anywhere. But I
do know for a fact that the time that Lawrence
Mooney was booked to come on the show in under
the guise of the then Prime Minister Malcolm Turn it
just it caused so much confusion and anger within political circles.

(04:45):
And I tried to sort of intimate in my coming
up our Prime Monster, but people thought it really was.
There's so much fury and disappointment. So just know it
can go one of two ways. This Saturday Night, Sammy Jay.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
I'm excited that and I will give people the show
of my life because I'm missing out on an election
night to do it, and so I'm going to leave
nothing on the field. As they say, is.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Your mate Randy going to make an appearance?

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Look he might phone in. He's over in the States.
At the moment. We have what we call an open marriage.
We're allowed to see other audience members, so I might
see what is up to.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Fantastic. Can't wait to see you back in the Capitol
Saturday night, Saturday Night. There is no better comedian to
have here. If you're looking for something else to do
other than the election party, the election count party, or
if you were going to do an election count party,
this will one up that and we'll see you at
the Candor Theater. Makee congratulations on everything. I know it's
going fantastically, and I.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Promise I'll have updates on the Brumby's game on stage
as well.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Don't you worry you are biting off a lot.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Triangle
