Now listen... This was recorded BEFORE the official announcement (I think it's pretty clear that I didn't know all of the details about the tour at that stage), but it was recorded at that time purely to capture the hilarity of a question Julie had been asked by her management.
It's sooooo funny!! In fact, this episode has a LOT of laughs in it!
We chat about/workshop what the stage setup will actually look like, what'll be in the show, what's going up on the big screen - and I think we well and truly answer that question Julie's management put to us. 🤭
We'd LOVE to see you at a show!!

(00:04):
With Rabbit. I'm Rabbit.
I record this podcast inside a cute little retro caravan from
1967 that I've tore around all over the place.
Fan podcast with Rabbit. Hello and welcome into this
episode, and especially to thoseof you who've maybe never
listened to a pod van podcast episode before.
No, Maybe. Because there may be new ones
(00:25):
coming into this episode to findout more about the thing we're
going to talk about. Hope so.
Hi. I don't know how cryptic we have
to be. Well.
I guess we don't have to be cryptic at all.
But I like it. I like it, yeah.
Is he ever missing game? 20 questions.
Alright, OK. No question number one, why have
I tuned into this podcast I've never listened to before?
(00:47):
How am I still here? Yeah.
What is my life? Where's the skip button?
God, when do the ads kick in? I've died for an ad.
I'm an ad right now. I've been listening too much.
Five of your questions. You haven't got the answer yet.
I. Need a break?
Yeah. OK, so the announcement is out
(01:08):
that Julie Goodwin is going on the road and I'm tagging along.
Yeah, yeah. Tour on tour?
How do you feel about the tour title?
Oh. I don't know about the tour
title. What?
Hang on, you've. Agreed to go on the tour and you
don't know what the title of thetour is.
I didn't read everything. Oh, oh, what the hell?
(01:29):
What have you done? Then.
You might opt out. I haven't signed anything.
Oh well, maybe we should do this.
Later, I don't think I have. So I signed the contract and
then we'll talk the details. Then not be anything like Julie
Goodwin and friends. Don't lump me in there.
I'm. Not calling you my friend.
I wouldn't have done that. It's worse.
(01:51):
Well, hang on, we'll get to thatin a second because for those
who, if you are new, Jules and I, we did radio together for
four years. We did and.
And what was that that show called?
Oh no, will you? My name won't even be in the
name of your show. Oh good, here across that.
Then, so the radio show was Rabbit and Julie Goodwin.
(02:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, top billing there.
Top billing. Yeah, See, I've never thought of
it that way, Rabbit. And Julie?
Go on. Oh, but I didn't always say it
like that. What happened to Jeff?
As as I'm taking a sip of water or something.
No. Well, I think the because do you
(02:35):
remember the last name also, youhad two names in that one.
Yeah, it. Was a bit weird.
Not often you've got the two names on a radio.
Well, I wouldn't want people to think it's just any random
Julie. Julie Andrews, I reckon she'll
get a. Double name.
Any of those ones that we know would get a double name.
Julie Bishop. If you go on a radio show and
(02:56):
you don't get the second name, it means you're not famous
enough to have the the double name.
Oh no, see I always thought the opposite.
I always thought it'd be nice toget famous enough to only need a
single name like Cher. Rabbit.
Rabbit quite global like that pink.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, kind of.
They are the examples that I give when people go like Rabbit,
(03:19):
like what is it? Is it your last name?
Is it? I'm like, no, it's just just
Rabbit. Just Rabbit.
Just Rabbit. Just the name.
And then I say, like Cher Prince, Yeah.
Pink. Exactly.
So similar. So then, but now I go, I go by
two names and I'm just that's, that's it.
It's both names all the time. Yeah.
Even when I'm like when I went back on MasterChef, it was like,
(03:40):
OK, it's time to taste your dish, Mel, it's time to taste
your dish, Dan, it's time to taste your dish.
Truly good one there. Yeah.
Interesting. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I'm, I never got famous enough to only have the
one name. I mean, it's early days.
I'm only a young thing. Oh yeah?
Oh, there's plenty more time. There's another days, couple of
(04:03):
years days. Boy, that escalated quickly.
All right, so wait, so does it actually have a name?
Yeah. OK so for those that are new to
the podcast as well, I'll say ittake it'll take me forever to
get to any .0. If you're new to the podcast,
you probably left by now. I'm not talking to anyone who
(04:25):
was new to the podcast. It's only the ones who built up
a resistance. Yeah, yeah.
Well, I know that. Just hit play and then go put a
load of washing on. Go get your dinner started.
But I always come back nowadays.Now, nowadays you do.
Yeah, yeah, more. More now that you're medicated.
Got medicated for ADHD and now Ican store things.
(04:47):
I can I can put pins in things and then circle back to them.
Yeah. Yeah, circling back, you circle
back like a pro. Yeah, so Julie has been on, I
don't know, it'd be it's over 50episodes of the pod van podcast
of this. Oh, it'd be closer to I wouldn't
be 100, but of the 200 or so episode.
(05:07):
Still coming back, I think by 100 I'll be done, I think.
I think there's a limit. I'll go back to your health.
Haven't found it yet. By 100 I'll be done.
I think that's. All right, that's a reasonable
assumption. I mean, yeah, this is a funny
moment when you get to realisingthat you're probably closer to
the end than you are to the beginning.
I wouldn't know. You you probably you probably
(05:31):
would. That's.
I think I've, I think I've told you be called me middle-aged
recently and I'm like, who the hell are you calling
middle-aged? How dare you?
And he's like, how old do you think he's middle-aged?
And I'm like, Oh no, 60s or something.
And he goes. How long do you think you're
gonna live? I will.
Say. And also, yeah, middle-aged.
Well, you're middle-aged. Yeah, 'cause I'm younger than
(05:51):
you. But your.
Middle age is in the rear view mirror for you.
Back in the rear. Oh, why you, Marie?
So does the show actually have aname?
Yeah. They're booking it into venues.
I can't just go this random thing, well this.
Is crazy. OK, so I'm in the show with you
on stage. I've agreed to this whole thing.
(06:13):
Yep. We're going on tour next year.
We are. I don't know what the show's
called, so can I guess? Go please guess.
OK, Let's not ruin it by just telling.
You. And The funny thing is, the
announcement's out. Everyone else already knows.
And you're oblivious. One of the two people on stage
(06:38):
doesn't. The problem with this is that
you're probably gonna probably everything you say now is gonna
be a better name than the actualname, and I'll be sad.
OK, what's cooking with Julie Goodwin?
That's not it. It's also not better than
whatever The thing is when you said, oh, everything you say.
Is good, Better now. It's fine.
We're gonna be fine. I'm pretty sure it's not going
(06:59):
to be better hot stuff with Julie Goodwin.
Oh my God, so your hot stuff. Renaming myself for the tour.
I'll stuff with Julie Goodwin. Guess which one I am?
People like Julie looks different.
(07:19):
No, I'm not the Julie I'll stuffwith Julie Goodwin.
Spicy bits with Julie Goodwin? Is it anything MasterChef
related? No turning up the heat with
Julie Goodwin sounds like. Do you understand?
(07:42):
The politician bloody panel show.
Yeah, OK. Yeah, yeah.
Grill. Them on the grill.
Yeah, ohh. Julie Goodwin Grill We're
looking to give people a hard time.
Oh, is that what happens? I also haven't looked at the
format. I mean, we've got a little while
to sort it out. We got actually on the road
until next year, but. Yeah, I thrive under pressure as
well. So if you want to hold this off
(08:04):
until like January to start thinking about it, OK, I'll be
there to help. I think maybe I would have done
more thinking about it before I decided who would come with me.
You can't. Rule out hot stuff from the from
the from the show. That's my name.
Oh. OK, circling back.
(08:26):
I've moved on. I'd like to offer a prize to
anyone who on the tour next yearcomes up and refers to me as hot
stuff. Oh mate, what's the prize?
Is it something I'm providing? It's something I'm providing,
isn't it? Obviously.
A broken anchored microphone stand.
It's your name that's on the show, I mean, or is it all
right? No, I I mean, it's obvious.
(08:47):
It'll just be straightforward. It is.
I know, I know. An evening with Julie Goodwin.
No, I really actually thought I had that.
No, I've never been more confident of anything in my
life. I'm getting less confident.
Maybe I've got it wrong. An Evening with Julie Goodwin.
No, it's not that. That does sound a bit too.
No, it's not that. It's Julie.
(09:11):
Goodwin on the couch. Are these are all great ones?
An evening with hot stuff? Still no tickets sold.
Wow all. Right.
Do you want to, I mean, obviously everyone else already
knows. So do you want to fill me in?
Because am I going to get? There no really.
No, based on where I've been, yeah, with this.
Yeah, no, you're, you're cold. I mean, it's got my name in it,
(09:34):
obviously. Yeah, an intimate evening with
Julie. Good.
Stop doing little spews in your mouth when I say things.
I just can't get over that. You're on stage with me, so can
we lose? That am I still?
Internet, anything. Can we lose?
I don't know. It's getting tenuous.
Yeah, yeah, it's too late. I've signed up for whatever this
(09:56):
thing is. Am I essentially just your
driver? I don't even know you are.
Driving. Here right am I.
I mean, you are right, I. Actually, don't know, Julie.
I've been in talks with your management and many things were
discussed and I didn't take any notes, right?
But I'm a very agreeable person,OK?
Well, then you're driving me it.Was an option that I said, I
(10:17):
said look, I like driving. Julie hates driving.
Yeah. And she can just, you know, hop
in the back and have a snooze and I'll, I'll drive, OK?
Because I know you don't wanna sit next to me for like a 5 hour
drive. Imagine doing that.
Like, imagine doing that for hours and hours every single
morning for four years straight.Who could imagine it?
Oh, that's right. Yeah.
(10:38):
We know how that ended as well, so maybe book yourself in for
the end of next year. Yeah, that's right.
These are the things we we laughabout.
Well. If you didn't laugh, you'd cry.
And that's and. We cry.
And we laugh. Alright, so, well, let's talk
about it then. So taking the show on the road,
(10:59):
whatever the show is. I don't, I'm not totally sure
yet. I'll be driving Julie somewhere.
We'll turn up at so many venues.Do you want to know what it's
called? Yeah, it's probably best that I
do. Julie Goodwin, Your Time Starts
Now regional tour. Now that makes sense.
I mean, it covers it. Yeah, what?
But my name's not in there. Regional.
(11:21):
Regional. My name's not Reginald.
It is now I'm. Going to change my name by deep
bowl to. Reginald.
Tour just just so I'm up on the on the thing outside the venue.
See, I mean, her name's ahead ofmine, but I'm still there.
Reginald Tour. I'm the bit they remember at the
(11:42):
end. Regional tour You.
Like it's a Julie go away, Virginal.
Tour that is funny. So, Julie Goodwin, your time
starts now. Regional tour.
It's a mouthful. It is a mouthful.
It's, it's not, you know, and. What happens when we hit the
stadiums? You gotta drop the regional tour
thing so. Well, yeah, how about a bit of
forward plan? Tour.
(12:03):
Well, the world tour. I do remember talking to your
management about that, actually.I said to them, they're talking
about some venues and that. And yeah.
And I was like, I can see this thing going absolute bonkers.
People love, Julie, this kind ofshow that's being developed.
Not that I totally know what it is, but you don't get a lot of
this going through regional areas, no.
(12:23):
And this. Is why we're going to regional
areas because they tend tend to,well, they can't be forgotten.
Yeah, missing out on this kind of.
Stuff. Things like, you know, I'm not
comparing myself to, you know, Pink or anything, but I don't
think she goes. We got all.
That. No, that's right.
Yeah. If you live in Dubbo and you
want to see Pink, you got to getto to Sydney.
(12:43):
Sydney. Well, no, this time Pink is
coming to you. Oh God, don't do that.
Don't do that, don't do that. Beige, Beige.
How dare you mauve. How well?
What colour do you want to be? You can't be pink.
Pink's taken pink. 'S my favorite colour though.
Or what? What's like a?
(13:04):
Why? Dark purple.
Why are you taking so much offense at the colours I'm
saying? Because they're awful taupe.
All right, that was my next one.Taupe looks like toupee.
So that's it Does. Yeah, I know.
It's nice. What?
Magenta. Magenta all.
Right, fine, I won't call you that.
Yeah, So we're going to regionalareas.
Yeah. And we're, we're going into a
(13:25):
theatre. It's gonna be a combination of
cooking and chat. You and me chatting.
Yeah. The vibe I'm looking for is, you
know, like when you have a bunchof people around for dinner and
you might be cooking for them, hanging around in the kitchen.
Everyone's sitting around havinga chat, getting dinner ready.
You're just to and fro. And then you're sort of share
the meal, you know, that's the vibe.
(13:47):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's break that down so everyone's talking
at once. No.
Well, you said everyone's chatting and that kind of thing.
It's in a theatre, like 700 people out in front of you, and
you're wanting that vibe. Hopefully, hopefully people will
buy tickets. And that's us, you and me and
the cleaning crew. Let's say 30 and 30 people in a
large venue, all all clumped together so we can get a good.
(14:09):
Time shot, so I'll move forward,move forward.
As if I'm I will. I don't know if you can bet on
this kind of stuff, but I'm betting on it.
Well, I hope so, but no. So you and I'll be having a
chat. You'll ask me some questions.
You're gonna have to read the first half of the book.
The 2 is named after it. Isn't that funny though?
Just to keep that whole. Nope.
(14:29):
Well. I mean, I guess you could keep
having not read the first half of the book and we could get the
audience to provide the questions.
This. Is what I do.
I like to bring people in. So then I'll hop up and I'll do
a little bit of cooking and thenwe'll chat a bit.
There's gonna be, you know, somefootage of some of the fun stuff
that's gone down. Yes.
You know, hopefully you've got some footage of the radio days.
(14:50):
There'll be a bit of master chefstuff, you know, just some of
the scenes that will take us back into that moment so we can
chat about those. Yeah.
And obviously time for the people in the room to have their
questions answered and for us tochat back and forth.
And you know, and by the end of it, there'll be some food ready
and. Oh, are we eating together at
the end of it? Well, people, everyone just
(15:11):
comes up on stage for the. Depends.
If only six people buy tickets, then yes.
Then. We can only together.
Otherwise, it might just be, youknow, like you have a couple of
friends at your kitchen bench. Yeah, because I've been
picturing it without knowing anything.
And obviously you've been picturing it.
Yeah. Can you describe the stage to
me, how we look? Because I'm seeing a couch over
(15:32):
the one side. Draw on a picture of what I want
the stage to look like. Oh okay, yeah, well does it have
a couch over one side? A couple of armchairs.
So are you close? Oh.
Armchairs can I get? Out.
I mean, because we've been next to each other and yeah, if you
went over my half of the couch, we might touch.
No, we'd have to put like some gaffer tape weird along the
middle of the thing that you stay on your side touching.
(15:54):
Me, stop touching. Me, stop touching.
Me for two hours, yeah. So does it go for two hours?
Yeah. Are we locking in a time?
Roughly, yeah. It's a 2 hour time frame, yeah.
Yeah, it'll be an early start. What?
Do you mind what? Don't start insulting people
already. Oh.
I didn't even know I was that was just that, you.
(16:17):
People, I know what you're saying about me, my demographic.
Just saying like, I can stay up all night, but you know, there'd
be nothing worse than halfway through the show and you're
hearing snoring, right? Especially if it was me.
So Julie, Julie, Julie, wake up.Stop dagging me.
(16:39):
Guys, we're gonna have to rejig this.
This show needs to start around 4:30. 4:30.
With a gap. And we have dinner beforehand.
Time for a nap and then. And a wee breakout.
We'll pause to watch Wheel of Fortune put it up on the big
screen. We'll.
Watch it together. Yeah.
Are we gonna bingo? Yeah, will there be bingo and
(16:59):
and hope so. So I'm picturing.
OK, so now it's two chairs. Mine's a lazy boy or something
like that. It's got the it's a recliner
well and a rocker would be good as well.
A rocket, a rock rocking recliner.
Ohh A. Rocker recliner.
Yeah, so. That wouldn't be distracting at
all. Whoa, whoa.
Two hours of and I've. Got armchairs on one side and
(17:22):
then on the other side's the kitchen.
Yeah, kitchen setup. Bar stools at the kitchen.
Yeah, there'll be chairs at the.Kitchen.
Can I come and join you over there or do I have to stay in my
recliner? What if I wanna stay in my
recliner? Well, you can stay in your
recliner. I mean, I may even send you off
stage sometimes. It depends on my mood and yours.
How? How are you thinking you're
(17:43):
going to? Obviously we'll have to have
some sort of signal for when yougo.
Alright, you can leave the. Stage signal will be who's on
the spotlight. Can you just put the spotlight
on me now and we'll just darken everything else and that's your
cue to just get off site? Number of times I've heard that
when we've done stuff together. Little more of me.
Little more of me. You don't have to say that.
(18:05):
No. God, the number of times when we
were doing a brekkie radio show together and we'd go somewhere
and someone would come up and go, oh, can I get a photo?
And we're both like, yeah, yeah,totally.
And then they hand me their phone.
I'm like, oh, do I? Do I just take a selfie?
Or Eddie. Oh, look at them and they've got
(18:25):
their arm around Julie. Oh, do you know what that
happened to me once? I know how it feels.
Who went? I was walking down this.
Huge. Yeah, I was walking down the
street. We were filming.
It was a getaway episode, and I was with Dermot Brewerton.
Oh, OK. And someone, this guy comes up
(18:45):
and he's like, oh, can I get a photo?
And both of us at the same time went of course.
And he handed me his phone and I'm like.
Yeah. Oh, good, good.
Thank you, Dermot. Thank you brought me right down
the. Earth, now you know.
But it didn't bring you down to earth.
No, I wasn't. Yeah, I wasn't why you keep
getting taught the same lesson. The universe just keeps handing
(19:07):
you the iPhone. It's.
Really funny, which I shouldn't say, like with that tone in my
voice, but the universe keeps handing you an iPhone.
Took me a minute to get my head round and go, yeah, yeah, it's
just you getting it yet, mate. That's what the universe is
saying. They're not here for you.
(19:32):
Stop, it's making me sound terrible now.
You're making you sound terrible.
That's true. So, yeah.
All right. So at some point, you'll just,
like, point to the side of the stage and I'll.
I'll skunk off. You'll know the look.
I'm well aware of the look. I've seen it many times.
And yes, I'm still here. All right, so we do the show.
(19:56):
So it's a bit of a chat. Go up and cook.
What are we gonna cook? What are you cooking?
I don't know yet. I haven't decided.
Yeah, but it's gonna be. Something to take samples out
into the crowd. Maybe we you know what, there's
things that need workshopping. Yeah, most, most of the show, by
the sounds of it. Questions from the crowd at the
end. You want me to go out with the
microphone? Sometimes at the end, maybe
(20:17):
sometimes in, in, in it. Yeah.
OK. It's gonna be a show of parts
because there's gonna be a lot of topics to cover.
Rabs. Yeah.
And sometimes you, you need to get some guidance from the
audience as to which direction they would like it to go.
So there's obviously there's chapters that might be more
interesting to people than otherchapters.
Yeah. And you know, I wanna I wanna be
(20:38):
answering the questions that arein the audience to be asked.
So I really like question. Time.
Look, I like going out into the audience with a microphone, Do
you? Well.
So yes, yeah, I mean, I don't see why not.
I mean, I'm sure there's some AVguy sitting in some booth just
banging his head on the table going stop making promises.
Yeah, or another fun one that wecould do is like if we put a
(21:00):
spare microphone like inside a afooty or something.
What a soft one. We throw it out or like a beach
ball like that do at concerts. That's a beach.
Ball. It's got a microphone in it.
It's like a talkie. Stick it.
Hits someone in the head. Hilarious.
Ah, it's all content, Julie. True that, hey.
That'll sell tickets. What a knockout performance to.
(21:20):
A Frisbee. Oh, this is awesome.
Oh, now we're starting to get ideas.
See, we're workshopping now. Taping a microphone to a
Frisbee, throwing it into the crowd?
That's funny. Do you have magic tricks we
could put magic? Yeah, I know what?
So can I have a segment of the show where like I do my thing?
Yes. Yes, but then we have to put
(21:41):
your name into the title of the show as well, and I'm happy to
do that. I'm I'm all about.
Are you? I'm all about the rabbit and
Julie Goodwin and Reginald and Reginald tour, essentially.
What that'll do is hurt ticket sales.
OK, well look, there's there's plenty of great ideas there.
Obviously I'll have to get a transcription of this or
something to let AI figure out what those great ideas were.
(22:04):
Just feed all this into ChatGPT and get it to spit out a show.
Let's see what happens. Let's face it, I think please
could you do that 'cause that would be funny.
Probably what's going to happen.Oh, OK, I'll do.
It it is not What's 0? Isn't it?
Oh, OK, we write. We write very differently.
Yes. I will absolutely do that for an
upcoming episode. I'll feed all of this into
(22:25):
ChatGPT and. Say I didn't say write the show.
Can you now write the show for me and then I'll present it to
you as the ideas? That could have some good ideas.
Oh, 100%. It'll have some good idea.
There'll be stuff in there. We'll go.
OK, that's actually brilliant. Yeah, yeah, we definitely need
an aquarium with axolotls. I don't.
Even remember saying that at themoment I'm on the microphone out
(22:46):
into the crowd, right? And getting that to the people.
Drone Drone flying a drone inside the.
You'd need to put padding on themicrophone 'cause if you knocked
someone in the teeth like. Dying.
Well, I'd say their teeth are designed to come out anyway.
Here we are again. Stop it.
(23:10):
Save it for on stage. Is that what you're saying?
No. You can't kill ticket sales by
offending everybody. I think I can.
I mean, you shouldn't. I got it.
Oh, man. So Nah.
Look, I'll have a red hot crack at reading the first half of
your book because obviously I'm gonna get.
The audio book, I mean. It's red in my dulcet, relaxing
(23:33):
tone of voice. Chuck it on two times speed and
I'll knock it over in an afternoon.
So I'm a chipmunk now, Yeah, I've got a noise.
Yeah, I think I read a little. No, no.
When you get to that part, it slows down to normal speed.
Yeah, and so you've already readthat part over and over again.
(23:54):
It's the well summed section of my book In Your House.
Cover it the pages out and put them up on the wall.
It's. Laminated it so so all the drool
doesn't ruin the paper. Can't help but say it when it's
taped to your roof above your bed.
Super. Next to, Am I right?
(24:16):
Yeah, this could really hurt. Ticket sale of all of us.
I'm getting it all out now. I I get it.
I know. God, I've, I've lived my life in
Julie's shadow. It's fine.
I I will hold Julie up in the spotlight, up on her pedestal
still, whatever it is I saw. It written down as pedal stool
the other day. I'm like it's not a pedal stool
(24:38):
but it. Wasn't what I saw the other day.
Chester drawers, Chester drawers, that someone who's just
thought and you go on Facebook Marketplace, they're all through
there when people are selling a chest of drawers.
Both say Chester drawers. Chester drawers?
Yeah. Have you found your spot yet?

start, and you get all the stufffrom them that you'd expect to.
(25:43):
You get plans, you get all the Weber stuff, you get all the
steel gear, the amazing principal kitchens, but it's the
stuff that you don't expect likethat.
Because they come in with 46,000colour sample swatches, she's
been in colour for her kitchen cupboards.
I drew down to 4 colours for herand that took him out an hour
and a half. She got very emotional because
she was so inundated with colours.
(26:03):
Towards the end she was kind of picking up the colours again.
I said no stop. I've seen photos, seen videos.
Her husband's come in and gave me a big hug, saying thank you
so much, 'cause you're getting very emotional about it and
she's super happy. That's what she got.
And the mighty helpful King Campbell Mine again podcast with
Rabbit. Oh man.
(26:23):
Well, I'm really looking forwardto it.
I can't wait. Can we start now?
Oh. Do you know what we've got to do
before we go? This is the question I got
asked. Oh yeah.
Oh, this is the whole point of doing this episode.
It is, yeah, because we need to discuss this and we need to
discuss it now because it's got to be organised for us by next
year. And it depends on what the
answer to this question is as tohow long this is going to take.
(26:46):
Oh, true people to organise. Yeah, because you, so you called
me and said I've had this. I've been asking a question,
Yeah, and I need an answer, and the answer has to come from both
of us. And this question, pardon my
French, because, you know, I don't normally swear.
Wait. Will you swear on stage at the
Sage Live show? Because you do a lot.
(27:08):
Oh come on mate, don't give me that face.
Maybe. Depends on the audience.
Depends on what I bring out in you.
Yes, it's going to be hard to not frankly two hours.
But I did say to you, because I actually thought this what it
was, this question is going to sound like a piss take, right?
But it's a serious question and we have to come up with an
(27:28):
answer and we then have to decide whether we're going to
give a serious answer or whetherwe're going to see how hard we
can ride this horse. The question I was asked, which
made me burst out laughing and say come on, hilarious, was what
do you and Revs want in your writer?
(27:55):
So good, so good. I really know what a writer is
from reading about people like Beyoncé.
Yeah, so you will be shocked to hear that I have gone and done
some research. Come on, I looked up the 20 most
ridiculous band writers of all time.
Oh my God. So just for clarity, in case
(28:16):
anyone's like me and didn't knowwhat they were, what 1 was, a
writer is the list of requests, demands, whatever that you give
to a venue that they have ready for you when you arrive.
So I know that there are very big names that have things like
whole new toilets in the hotel or new toilet seats is quite a
(28:38):
common one, apparently. Yeah.
I don't know what you're eating off them.
The room needs to be painted in a certain shade of pink or you
know, there's. Beyoncé had one of ice cubes in
perfect spherical like balls of ice.
Why that was I don't know. OK, I don't know.
I don't know the answers. I do know the answer to 1.
Van Halen had one where they wanted all the brown M&M's taken
(29:00):
out on their thing or I was all.Heard about this but have you
maybe from you? But do you know why?
Yeah, they have a whole lot of safety requirements on stage,
very technical stuff, and they wanna know, I think I'm getting
this right, that people are detail oriented because if
you're not detail oriented, thenpeople's lives could be in
danger. So they throw in weird stuff.
It's essentially to get to know that they've looked at
(29:23):
everything on the list. Yeah.
And there's a bowl there and allthe brown M&M's are taken out.
They've gone through everything in that list.
If they haven't done that, then it's like, well, did you read
the list? Like, have you gone through it?
Yeah, they were doing pyrotechnics and all that sort
of stuff. Interesting.
Yeah, I get, I get that because sometimes when I'm going off to
do a food festival and I providerecipes and prep lists and
equipment lists and all that sort of stuff and I'll turn up
(29:45):
and yeah, half of it's not there.
I don't know quite how. So you already have a writer?
That's not really a writer. That's just.
Yeah, I think you've got a rider, but my rider.
Is that the ingredients are there?
What a boring rider. I'm gonna do a search on the 20
most boring riders of all. Time I'll tell you what I'll
tell you I have it because I literally all I could think of
(30:06):
when my manager asked me this question and I burst out
laughing and said, oh, oh, I want pink toilet seats, which I
think was amalgamation of a few different people's things.
Yeah. And she goes, no seriously you,
you need to say what you want inthe green room and what she what
she need on the night. And all I could think of after
she made many suggestions was mineral like sparkling water.
(30:27):
Oh my God, so. Rookie I've I've, I've put some
more thought into it. Yeah, not a lot because I keep
coming back to. Tell me some of the things that
she was suggesting. She said you've got a So she
said the show will be starting around about 7:00.
You've got to have food. You'll be there for, you know, a
couple of hours beforehand. Yeah, getting prepped.
And I'm like, I don't think she knows Rabbit very well.
(30:48):
No, she's talking to you. He'll he'll roll in at 7 just so
you know, 02, she said, you know, some people have bowls of
chocolates and bowls of chips, so they've got something to see
them through. But you this is gonna be dinner
time and I just said to a three nights so I don't wanna eat
chips and chocolate three nightsa week for dinner.
I know that's. Boring.
We're doing this differently. Yeah, well, yeah, I'm just a
(31:10):
strip. I don't wanna.
Yeah, do that 'cause I will, yeah.
If that's what's in the green room, that's what I will eat.
And I and it's so bad for you. Yeah, so, you know, she said.
Well, you need to have a think yet.
Like if you're in a club, that might be a light meal if you're
in. So it's all different kinds of
venues. Clause one second here.
Can I just encourage the listener, as you're listening to
(31:30):
this right now, think about whatyours would be.
Yes, if someone came to you and said before you do this thing,
whatever it is, yeah, we can provide anything that you need
before it. What would you like now?
I've gone straight to anything you need.
I don't know what the limits areon this sort of stuff, but.
But I mean, even just on the food side, like if they said
(31:51):
we'll have whatever food you need there.
Yeah. What would what would you do?
Like what? Yeah.
I mean, you know my time when I suggested the idea of the gift
registry for how to thank me forthings.
Yeah. Do you remember what my thing
was? Fruit Chalks.
Close. Coated sultanas.
Yeah, yeah. So pretty much any fruit covered
(32:11):
in in chocolate. I I don't do sultanas anymore.
Don't you reckon if you walked into a room 3 nights running and
that's what was there for you toeat, that you would just eat it
and then you'd have regret and then you'd be out on stage
going? Oh, I'm so bloated.
I wish I hadn't eaten that whole.
Jar of fruit chalks. I've had this dream before and
(32:32):
it it doesn't end badly in the dream.
Do you have underwear on? That's the main thing.
Well, why would I when I'm hopping into a bath of fruit
shocks? That's the extra reason to put
underwear on. Do you hate them, you think?
I'm sharing them with you. You can't free ball it in your
bathtub full of fruit shocks. You find out that you also
(32:53):
requested a bathtub of fruit shocks, right?
And then they go, and you find out at the end of the tour
you're like, thank you for organising that thing for me
everywhere. And they go, yeah, well, when
Rab said the same thing, you're like, wait, what?
It's like, wait, who arrived earliest?
And you're like, well, it's really weird because I've never
seen Rabbit be early for anything.
But he was always there before me every day.
(33:14):
Oh. No, no.
It's a shame they were always melted by the time I got into
them. Well anyway, that's a lovely
visual for everyone. Oh, OK, so.
Now I know it's not on my rider.So yeah, you've got to think
about what you're eating before you go on stage, because then
you're on stage for two hours. Yeah, Now I don't think again.
(33:35):
I've never done a travelling roadshow like this.
Can we just pop off to the bathroom halfway through?
Halfway through. Well, if you've got to go.
If you're in a position where you've got two hours of a
cushion, go right before we go on stage.
Yep, I will tell you. Yeah, you remind me.
That's because I won't. And what happens with me these
days since I've got on these meds and I drink so much water,
(33:57):
tons of water, it hits me like afreight train.
OK, I know what to do. Yeah, for you, one of those
catheter things. Oh yeah.
So you can just have a strap, You'll have to wear long
trousers. I mean, 80% of the audience ago.
Oh, he's got the same one as me.This is never gonna get off the
ground. I'm here to help.
(34:20):
You only season this is gonna gowithout paying that amount of
money to be insulted by ReginaldTour.
I won't do it on stage, do it here and then and not even
insulting anyone. We'll get you a convenience
thing. If it if it goes both ways, if
you're worried about both, OK, then maybe your armchair can be
(34:40):
one of those commode. Yeah, it's like a like one of
those camping toilet things. It's just the seat and then
there's something underneath it.So looking at it looks like a
standard recliner. You can't see the thing
underneath you. Can't see that there's a bucket
underneath. Clear.
OK, well, I'm glad we're talkingthese things.
It's clear. Again, I don't know all the
(35:02):
details of this show. You're putting together a weird
show, but I'm here for it. So yeah, you do have to think
about what you're going to have right before you go on start,
like eating, you know, no curries.
I wouldn't think so, yeah. No, what are you thinking?
So what are you? Where are you?
(35:23):
We are roasted. I don't know, You're probably
going to be a little bit mad at me because she said, because I
said I'm seeing Rabbit in a couple of days, we have to
discuss this. I can't just answer for him.
And she said, all right, that's fine, but we need one venues
rider now and so he's the first one.
I just made one up. On my behalf.
(35:45):
Wait, hang on a second. I haven't even asked.
Do I get one? I just realized I just assumed
because I'm gonna be this standing next to you.
Yes, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well, it's ours. Yeah, it's yours, Mine and ours.
What have you done I? Can't, because it can't be very
interesting. If you said chocolate sultanas,
I'm gonna have to eat them. You probably wouldn't have
though. It depends what frame of mind I
(36:07):
was in when I answered the question.
Let me just go and here we go. Brussels sprouts.
You've actually got the rider there.
I look, this is awesome, said. Any chance you can text Rebs
quickly? We need this to confirm the
first venue, but we can change later.
I shouldn't have read that to you.
Oh, you're probably and I hate this.
Hurry up, I can't believe you'veruined the tour for me before it
(36:29):
even. Only one venue, right?
I've ruined one venue so you canbe cranky for the first one and
then the rest. Is it the first one?
I don't know. It's one of the first three, OK.
There's a venue that is. Something we need the writer
now. I mean, it's months away, so I
don't know what they're. Expecting oh so something slow
cooked. Something they have to grow from
scratch. About five months start.
(36:49):
Raising a calf, we're gonna needit to be to the age these these
have been dry aged for a certainperiod of time.
And then Julie's driven out there and pointed at a cow in
the field. Why that one?
That little one? When he hits 100K, baby, he's
the one. What do we have?
(37:10):
Well, I've said well just for that one now is.
This us together? Or is this have you done us
separately? No, it's just us together.
Because, you know, I'm like, oh,I don't even have to say gluten
free. Anymore if it's like spaghetti
and we have to eat it like Lady in the Tramp style.
God damn it, I'm going back to the see if it's too late to
change this one. Bowl of spaghetti and meatball
(37:33):
and a bathtub of fruit shocks. That's all we need.
That's all we need. And a see through.
And a Cam chair with a seafood commode bucket.
Start typing. She will just cancel the tour,
so she'll just start ringing people saying it's off.
Oh, boy. All right, let's go.
(37:54):
What do we got? It's so boring.
So it's just a combined thing. This is just put this backstage.
Just. Me with my sensible head on
bottle. Of I'm gonna end up swinging by
like coals or something on the way to get myself things.
Let's just say a light meal, sandwiches or something,
sparkling water, tea making stuff and some fruit.
Far out. I mean, I I'm.
Because I saw I'm not angry about, you know, my protein
(38:16):
music bars that I like. I always like to have little
tins of tuna. I but, but I carry that all with
me. Yeah.
Because I have been starved on tour before by the people
touring me and it's not pleasant.
So I carry stuff with me. But but so what's the point in
asking them to bring that when I'll have it in my suitcase?
Then you don't have to buy it. How much is a can of tuna or
(38:37):
salmon or whatever it is? You said fish in a can.
I don't even buy a half price sodollar $15.30.
Yeah, but you know, that's $1.30saved if if it's on the rider.
Wait, are we paying for the rider?
Yeah. Are we not out of our pocket but
out of the tour budget? Oh OK, yeah, I think put your
tins of tuner on the list anyway, just because that's
(38:59):
funny. What?
I don't know of any other band when I looked through those
lists that had cans of tuna on the thing.
I think tinned fish is a funny thing to have on a rider in
fact, especially if you write itin there as tinned fish.
I could get anything I could get.
This was funny about it. I don't want this to be funny.
It needs to be sustenance beforewe go on stage.
(39:21):
Well, she, she sort of threw outsome suggestions.
This is Lisa, my manager. She said some people say they
want a cheese board. Some people say, you know, like
shark a treat or some people saythey want a light meal.
And when you're in a club venue,they'll have a Bistro.
So if you want to order a hot meal, you can order a hot meal
and but then the theatres won't have the hot meals.
They have to send people out to get that sort of thing.
(39:42):
So. I'm just I'm really into toast
at the moment. Well, I've asked for tea making
facilities. If you want a toaster and a loaf
of bread, yeah, we could ask fora toaster and a.
Slice thick, thick sliced bread.Real butter.
Are you a Vegemite guy? No, you're a few weeks.
Really. Yeah, we have Marmite.
Yeah. What do you reckon?
Vegemite is also disgusting. Come on, everyone knows it is.
(40:04):
No, it's not. Everyone knows it's gross.
Beautiful, salty, delicious. It's all about the Vegemite
butter ratio. If you're getting that wrong,
well then you can't be helped I.Actually had no idea how hard
this would be. It is hard.
Isn't it? How?
About this, I'm trying to ride the line.
Let me see if I'm landing similar place to you.
Yeah, OK, I doubt it. I'm trying to ride the line
between making sure we have whatwe need to be nourished and on,
(40:29):
on the ball and sure that we're not starting 'cause sometimes
you'll roll into town, there won't be a lot of time we can't
go and suss out the places, too.Yeah.
This will be our meal, right? Yeah.
So I'm trying to make sure that we're looked after, but also not
wanting to be a diva. Oh, no.
Put down anything that's too difficult.
No, no. Make anyone go to too much
trouble. Yeah.
No, we're not. Looking in the same way, I think
(40:50):
so I. Have not thought of that side of
it. You want only thinking of that
side of it. You want your exotic fruit
platter brought in on a train ofAfghan camels led by somebody in
a headdress? Yeah, and write it down.
A troop of the belly dancers. Yeah.
I I'd like sushi delivered on the buff body of a Chippendale.
(41:12):
Write it down. Yeah.
And this is the problem, right. I watched this thing online the
other day and there was a guy, but then he'd had a bet with his
wife and then if she won in thisbet she got to have.
I can't remember how long it was3 minutes.
I think it was 3 minute all out shopping spree.
Grab anything you want inside like this homeware store and
(41:32):
then she's gone in there. It's like anything he's like
time starts now she's running around, got this basket and then
she's like going to grab a couple of cushions and then
she's like, wait, they don't go with the no, that won't no, he
gets to the end of the three minutes.
She's got nothing. You know, she went to grab a set
of plates and she's like, but they're not going to go with
they would have to replace all of those as well.
(41:53):
So I'd have to get the full set and he's like going a minute 30.
It's Julie, you the world. You've opened it like it's so
wild. What would you like?
We'll, we'll organize it. I'd like a chocolate fountain,
but it's got to be coverture chocolate and to dip into it.
I want marshmallows and strawberries, but only really
(42:14):
ripe ones. Pick all the good ones out of
the Punnett and the rest can go to somebody's chickens or
something. But.
Then again, at the end of the tour, you go, where did you even
get that much chocolate for the fountain?
They're like, well, once it all melted and grabs tub, we're not
going to Chuck it out. We've got it out of the bucket.
I want to taste it like shit. Can we get the fewer sponsored
(42:40):
by Fruit Shocks? Probably not after that.
They are distancing themselves. They are issuing A cease and
desist as they listen. Really doesn't know what fruit
shocks are. He'd talk about them, they're
in, they're from SA and it's like apricot balls.
Do you? Remember that year I bought you
5K5K box for Christmas and you were really mad at me because I
(43:01):
was sabotaging your efforts to be healthy and then you ate the
whole box I had? Literally just gone like that's
it. I'm on a hardcore, I'm getting,
I'm dropping some weight, I'm getting free.
I was out of control. Happy birthday Rabs, here's 5
kilos. Of how would you get them
shipped? You can't buy 5 kilos anywhere
in the shops, you have to get them shipped.
(43:22):
From the factory, yeah, the one that's.
Quite an amount of effort. Yeah, so did I I ate all of
them. You.
Put them in the bath. I ate all of them.
What is wrong with me living my best life?
I don't I don't know. I.
Think we've ruined free chalks for the Rider?
Yeah, it's this is a problem because you have also said in
there it'll be sensible and yeah, you'll be going out on
(43:44):
stage right after and because otherwise, yeah, it was all just
chocolate. There's chips and chocolate.
Yeah, that's all we need. But.
But then, yeah, I don't want three nights of just regret.
OK, I've got. To go on stage hating myself.
I think I've got it. It's that.
That my life choice. House special burger in every
place. Oh, no, all right.
(44:05):
I thought, it's quite often I will say something and I feel
really confident about it. And then your face just says,
oh, it's the worst thing I've ever heard in my life.
Because I'm thinking about it from a performance perspective,
right? So I know when I go on stage to
do a cooking demo, when I go on stage to do a speaking gig.
But even back when I used to think I can't have too much in
my stomach 'cause it makes me feel heavy.
(44:28):
I don't know, it's somehow connected to my brain.
If I've got a full belly, my brain slows down.
Yeah. So you get more of like an
incentive like serve the dinner at 9:00.
If you do a good job like that, that keeps you switched off.
Oh. That's open things up when I
come off stage. Yeah, I'd like a full pork
crackling belly. Yeah.
Roast potatoes, gravy. I want pumpkin.
(44:50):
Then I want some salads just to lighten it up a little bit.
Blueberry and. Apple crumble?
Definitely crumble. Creme brulee, panna cotta.
I want stick it out. Pudding with butterscotch sauce.
Vanilla ice cream. But proper vanilla bean ice
cream. Not the horrible stuff.
Yeah, maybe a selection of gelatos.
OK. And just to keep it light and
healthy, some fruit. If we get to it.
(45:12):
If we get to it. I'm so.
Fruit optional, yeah, but yeah, prior that.
Just ruins it. This is like the worst rider
ever. Well, why can't they give us a
rider for the nights we're not doing the show?
See, that would be for. At home.
Can we ask for that? Like just go, all right, this is
the rider, but we don't want it at the venue.
We want it at home. We want it sent to our houses so
(45:37):
I can like, pig out on the couch.
Yeah, feel bad about myself, butI'm all.
I'm just going to bed for me. If you could change the toilet
seats that'd be great. And the light globes on your
Adam. Do you know what I love is that
you've you held off replying to her?
Yeah. Wait till I talk to rats.
Because I've got a So now I whatam I going back with?
(45:58):
A bathtub of fruit shops. It's a dimmed fish and.
We'd like it delivered to his house on all the nights we're
not doing the tour. I don't, I really don't know.
I don't, you know, it would be something boring like you said.
Yeah, it's gotta be something boring like sandwiches.
And I I like sandwiches. I love sandwiches.
(46:19):
No, that I'm not gluten free. Well, you'd be making up 10
years of not eating sandwiches. I'd be eating sandwiches 24/7.
I love sandwiches. Yeah, sandwiches are great.
Every time I go somewhere, whether it's a meeting or
conference or and people put outthose trays of little triangle.
Actually I need to put triangle little triangles.
Here we go. Yes, hey, here it comes I.
See, you've stepped over the line.
(46:40):
Yeah, Welcome to Dover Town. Trying.
On me, this is growing. Up a cross on or off?
Yeah. Cross on when the cross.
On but I'm not going to eat them.
Maybe I will and maybe I won't if I'm having a curly hair kind
of day. Oh God, I know what I want on my
rider. What, like a dog?
A Labrador or something? That'll eat all the sandwiches.
(47:02):
The crusts. This is what I was thinking.
So I was like the crust. What do we do?
We can't be in competition for food with an animal.
Not a Labrador. Not.
A Labrador, it's going to win. Not many animals would, but a
Labrador would. You've got your you've got your
after show writer. You go back there.
(47:22):
This is the Labrador. It's lying on its.
Stomach like this groaning goingon in too hard on the pork
belly. Oh boy.
We have put more effort into this writer conversation than we
have into the show. Sophie.
Yeah, yeah, I've had. I almost forgot about the show,
(47:43):
but so we're going to Bathurst and we're gonna have what to
eat. All right, Well, can I ask you a
question? Here's another thing about the
tour that I don't actually know.Is it in New South Wales?
Well, it's starting in New SouthWales.
And then are we going like international?
Yeah, Dubai. Yeah, London.
No, it's it's. If NSW goes well then do we go?
(48:07):
Is there a talk? Are we going Interstate?
Yeah. Really.
Yeah. I'm not driving then.
Oh, we'll be at private jet stage by then anyway.
Of course we will. Obviously we'll be on the rider.
Well, you will be shut. The man darling, you'll be
riding a three legged Dominic inthis town.
I will drive you to the airport and then you hop on and then
(48:30):
when you get off the jet in Brisbane there's me with the
same car 'cause I drove up. Really quickly, people.
Go Has he got a fear of flying? No, no, we've got a fear of
paying for his flight. He drives, it's in my rider.
All right, well, there is going to be a lot of fun had on this
(48:54):
tour. You know what we should both do?
Yeah, we should go home and justpractice doing the rider thing
with our families to say here's my rider and this is what I
expect. I do that most days anyway.
Of course you do. Sad used to it.
She's like, what? But it's not Saturday.
(49:16):
Why are you having that? It's not your.
Birthday. Yes, cross that right.
But it's a great discussion. It's a great look.
If you've made it this far into the podcast, please put it in
the comments. And tell us where to send the
medal. But what would you have on your
rider? What would you have on your
rider? And I'm going to throw in an
extra level of difficulty because, listen, we have to deal
(49:37):
with this and you're going on stage after it.
Yeah. 'Cause if you take that out of
it. Then, well, your rider just gets
ridiculous, doesn't it? And I want all sorts.
I want a spa bath. Huh.
With certain kind of bath salts.Yeah.
And. And a Sir, obviously.
Can we get a massage before going on stage?
Oh I'd be too relaxed. I need that for the after show
(49:59):
rider like. Everything this is like.
You gotta be just on the edge. I can't have too much caffeine,
but I can't have none. Red Bull.
Do you need Red Bull? Nah, no, I can't have caffeine
anymore. Bad idea.
'Cause I'm what? Would I be Just that truth?
Doctors actually said to me I can't have any caffeine or
anything like that because of mythe amphetamines that I'm
(50:20):
actually in the title of them. It's my ADHD meds.
I've said that. Yeah, yeah.
It's not actual, you know, it's not the normal kind of drugs you
take backstage. No, no, can't.
Request those on your rider can you credit card and a little bag
of. I'd like to see a band try that.
(50:41):
Oh yeah, we didn't even think about anything illegal.
God. Oh, the world has opened up.
Let's get some. Fireworks.
Bit of pyrotechnic, actually the.
Oh my God, are we going to have pyrotechnics?
I wouldn't think so. Interesting.
All right. Well, I think we've covered off
enough if you go to the website,which is Julie Goodwin, end of
(51:01):
the hot stuff.com dot AU. Julie Goodwin and Reginald.
Tour top does Tari. Beijing, Bendigo.
Yeah, well, juliegoodwin.com dotAUI presume there's details
there. Yep.
I might go have a look.
With Rabbit. I'm Rabbit.
I record this podcast inside a cute little retro caravan from
1967 that I've tore around all over the place.
Fan podcast with Rabbit. Hello and welcome into this
episode, and especially to thoseof you who've maybe never
listened to a pod van podcast episode before.
No, Maybe. Because there may be new ones
(00:25):
coming into this episode to findout more about the thing we're
going to talk about. Hope so.
Hi. I don't know how cryptic we have
to be. Well.
I guess we don't have to be cryptic at all.
But I like it. I like it, yeah.
Is he ever missing game? 20 questions.
Alright, OK. No question number one, why have
I tuned into this podcast I've never listened to before?
(00:47):
How am I still here? Yeah.
What is my life? Where's the skip button?
God, when do the ads kick in? I've died for an ad.
I'm an ad right now. I've been listening too much.
Five of your questions. You haven't got the answer yet.
I. Need a break?
Yeah. OK, so the announcement is out
(01:08):
that Julie Goodwin is going on the road and I'm tagging along.
Yeah, yeah. Tour on tour?
How do you feel about the tour title?
Oh. I don't know about the tour
title. What?
Hang on, you've. Agreed to go on the tour and you
don't know what the title of thetour is.
I didn't read everything. Oh, oh, what the hell?
(01:29):
What have you done? Then.
You might opt out. I haven't signed anything.
Oh well, maybe we should do this.
Later, I don't think I have. So I signed the contract and
then we'll talk the details. Then not be anything like Julie
Goodwin and friends. Don't lump me in there.
I'm. Not calling you my friend.
I wouldn't have done that. It's worse.
(01:51):
Well, hang on, we'll get to thatin a second because for those
who, if you are new, Jules and I, we did radio together for
four years. We did and.
And what was that that show called?
Oh no, will you? My name won't even be in the
name of your show. Oh good, here across that.
Then, so the radio show was Rabbit and Julie Goodwin.
(02:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, top billing there.
Top billing. Yeah, See, I've never thought of
it that way, Rabbit. And Julie?
Go on. Oh, but I didn't always say it
like that. What happened to Jeff?
As as I'm taking a sip of water or something.
No. Well, I think the because do you
(02:35):
remember the last name also, youhad two names in that one.
Yeah, it. Was a bit weird.
Not often you've got the two names on a radio.
Well, I wouldn't want people to think it's just any random
Julie. Julie Andrews, I reckon she'll
get a. Double name.
Any of those ones that we know would get a double name.
Julie Bishop. If you go on a radio show and
(02:56):
you don't get the second name, it means you're not famous
enough to have the the double name.
Oh no, see I always thought the opposite.
I always thought it'd be nice toget famous enough to only need a
single name like Cher. Rabbit.
Rabbit quite global like that pink.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, kind of.
They are the examples that I give when people go like Rabbit,
(03:19):
like what is it? Is it your last name?
Is it? I'm like, no, it's just just
Rabbit. Just Rabbit.
Just Rabbit. Just the name.
And then I say, like Cher Prince, Yeah.
Pink. Exactly.
So similar. So then, but now I go, I go by
two names and I'm just that's, that's it.
It's both names all the time. Yeah.
Even when I'm like when I went back on MasterChef, it was like,
(03:40):
OK, it's time to taste your dish, Mel, it's time to taste
your dish, Dan, it's time to taste your dish.
Truly good one there. Yeah.
Interesting. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I'm, I never got famous enough to only have the
one name. I mean, it's early days.
I'm only a young thing. Oh yeah?
Oh, there's plenty more time. There's another days, couple of
(04:03):
years days. Boy, that escalated quickly.
All right, so wait, so does it actually have a name?
Yeah. OK so for those that are new to
the podcast as well, I'll say ittake it'll take me forever to
get to any .0. If you're new to the podcast,
you probably left by now. I'm not talking to anyone who
(04:25):
was new to the podcast. It's only the ones who built up
a resistance. Yeah, yeah.
Well, I know that. Just hit play and then go put a
load of washing on. Go get your dinner started.
But I always come back nowadays.Now, nowadays you do.
Yeah, yeah, more. More now that you're medicated.
Got medicated for ADHD and now Ican store things.
(04:47):
I can I can put pins in things and then circle back to them.
Yeah. Yeah, circling back, you circle
back like a pro. Yeah, so Julie has been on, I
don't know, it'd be it's over 50episodes of the pod van podcast
of this. Oh, it'd be closer to I wouldn't
be 100, but of the 200 or so episode.
(05:07):
Still coming back, I think by 100 I'll be done, I think.
I think there's a limit. I'll go back to your health.
Haven't found it yet. By 100 I'll be done.
I think that's. All right, that's a reasonable
assumption. I mean, yeah, this is a funny
moment when you get to realisingthat you're probably closer to
the end than you are to the beginning.
I wouldn't know. You you probably you probably
(05:31):
would. That's.
I think I've, I think I've told you be called me middle-aged
recently and I'm like, who the hell are you calling
middle-aged? How dare you?
And he's like, how old do you think he's middle-aged?
And I'm like, Oh no, 60s or something.
And he goes. How long do you think you're
gonna live? I will.
Say. And also, yeah, middle-aged.
Well, you're middle-aged. Yeah, 'cause I'm younger than
(05:51):
you. But your.
Middle age is in the rear view mirror for you.
Back in the rear. Oh, why you, Marie?
So does the show actually have aname?
Yeah. They're booking it into venues.
I can't just go this random thing, well this.
Is crazy. OK, so I'm in the show with you
on stage. I've agreed to this whole thing.
(06:13):
Yep. We're going on tour next year.
We are. I don't know what the show's
called, so can I guess? Go please guess.
OK, Let's not ruin it by just telling.
You. And The funny thing is, the
announcement's out. Everyone else already knows.
And you're oblivious. One of the two people on stage
(06:38):
doesn't. The problem with this is that
you're probably gonna probably everything you say now is gonna
be a better name than the actualname, and I'll be sad.
OK, what's cooking with Julie Goodwin?
That's not it. It's also not better than
whatever The thing is when you said, oh, everything you say.
Is good, Better now. It's fine.
We're gonna be fine. I'm pretty sure it's not going
(06:59):
to be better hot stuff with Julie Goodwin.
Oh my God, so your hot stuff. Renaming myself for the tour.
I'll stuff with Julie Goodwin. Guess which one I am?
People like Julie looks different.
(07:19):
No, I'm not the Julie I'll stuffwith Julie Goodwin.
Spicy bits with Julie Goodwin? Is it anything MasterChef
related? No turning up the heat with
Julie Goodwin sounds like. Do you understand?
(07:42):
The politician bloody panel show.
Yeah, OK. Yeah, yeah.
Grill. Them on the grill.
Yeah, ohh. Julie Goodwin Grill We're
looking to give people a hard time.
Oh, is that what happens? I also haven't looked at the
format. I mean, we've got a little while
to sort it out. We got actually on the road
until next year, but. Yeah, I thrive under pressure as
well. So if you want to hold this off
(08:04):
until like January to start thinking about it, OK, I'll be
there to help. I think maybe I would have done
more thinking about it before I decided who would come with me.
You can't. Rule out hot stuff from the from
the from the show. That's my name.
Oh. OK, circling back.
(08:26):
I've moved on. I'd like to offer a prize to
anyone who on the tour next yearcomes up and refers to me as hot
stuff. Oh mate, what's the prize?
Is it something I'm providing? It's something I'm providing,
isn't it? Obviously.
A broken anchored microphone stand.
It's your name that's on the show, I mean, or is it all
right? No, I I mean, it's obvious.
(08:47):
It'll just be straightforward. It is.
I know, I know. An evening with Julie Goodwin.
No, I really actually thought I had that.
No, I've never been more confident of anything in my
life. I'm getting less confident.
Maybe I've got it wrong. An Evening with Julie Goodwin.
No, it's not that. That does sound a bit too.
No, it's not that. It's Julie.
(09:11):
Goodwin on the couch. Are these are all great ones?
An evening with hot stuff? Still no tickets sold.
Wow all. Right.
Do you want to, I mean, obviously everyone else already
knows. So do you want to fill me in?
Because am I going to get? There no really.
No, based on where I've been, yeah, with this.
Yeah, no, you're, you're cold. I mean, it's got my name in it,
(09:34):
obviously. Yeah, an intimate evening with
Julie. Good.
Stop doing little spews in your mouth when I say things.
I just can't get over that. You're on stage with me, so can
we lose? That am I still?
Internet, anything. Can we lose?
I don't know. It's getting tenuous.
Yeah, yeah, it's too late. I've signed up for whatever this
(09:56):
thing is. Am I essentially just your
driver? I don't even know you are.
Driving. Here right am I.
I mean, you are right, I. Actually, don't know, Julie.
I've been in talks with your management and many things were
discussed and I didn't take any notes, right?
But I'm a very agreeable person,OK?
Well, then you're driving me it.Was an option that I said, I
(10:17):
said look, I like driving. Julie hates driving.
Yeah. And she can just, you know, hop
in the back and have a snooze and I'll, I'll drive, OK?
Because I know you don't wanna sit next to me for like a 5 hour
drive. Imagine doing that.
Like, imagine doing that for hours and hours every single
morning for four years straight.Who could imagine it?
Oh, that's right. Yeah.
(10:38):
We know how that ended as well, so maybe book yourself in for
the end of next year. Yeah, that's right.
These are the things we we laughabout.
Well. If you didn't laugh, you'd cry.
And that's and. We cry.
And we laugh. Alright, so, well, let's talk
about it then. So taking the show on the road,
(10:59):
whatever the show is. I don't, I'm not totally sure
yet. I'll be driving Julie somewhere.
We'll turn up at so many venues.Do you want to know what it's
called? Yeah, it's probably best that I
do. Julie Goodwin, Your Time Starts
Now regional tour. Now that makes sense.
I mean, it covers it. Yeah, what?
But my name's not in there. Regional.
(11:21):
Regional. My name's not Reginald.
It is now I'm. Going to change my name by deep
bowl to. Reginald.
Tour just just so I'm up on the on the thing outside the venue.
See, I mean, her name's ahead ofmine, but I'm still there.
Reginald Tour. I'm the bit they remember at the
(11:42):
end. Regional tour You.
Like it's a Julie go away, Virginal.
Tour that is funny. So, Julie Goodwin, your time
starts now. Regional tour.
It's a mouthful. It is a mouthful.
It's, it's not, you know, and. What happens when we hit the
stadiums? You gotta drop the regional tour
thing so. Well, yeah, how about a bit of
forward plan? Tour.
(12:03):
Well, the world tour. I do remember talking to your
management about that, actually.I said to them, they're talking
about some venues and that. And yeah.
And I was like, I can see this thing going absolute bonkers.
People love, Julie, this kind ofshow that's being developed.
Not that I totally know what it is, but you don't get a lot of
this going through regional areas, no.
(12:23):
And this. Is why we're going to regional
areas because they tend tend to,well, they can't be forgotten.
Yeah, missing out on this kind of.
Stuff. Things like, you know, I'm not
comparing myself to, you know, Pink or anything, but I don't
think she goes. We got all.
That. No, that's right.
Yeah. If you live in Dubbo and you
want to see Pink, you got to getto to Sydney.
(12:43):
Sydney. Well, no, this time Pink is
coming to you. Oh God, don't do that.
Don't do that, don't do that. Beige, Beige.
How dare you mauve. How well?
What colour do you want to be? You can't be pink.
Pink's taken pink. 'S my favorite colour though.
Or what? What's like a?
(13:04):
Why? Dark purple.
Why are you taking so much offense at the colours I'm
saying? Because they're awful taupe.
All right, that was my next one.Taupe looks like toupee.
So that's it Does. Yeah, I know.
It's nice. What?
Magenta. Magenta all.
Right, fine, I won't call you that.
Yeah, So we're going to regionalareas.
Yeah. And we're, we're going into a
(13:25):
theatre. It's gonna be a combination of
cooking and chat. You and me chatting.
Yeah. The vibe I'm looking for is, you
know, like when you have a bunchof people around for dinner and
you might be cooking for them, hanging around in the kitchen.
Everyone's sitting around havinga chat, getting dinner ready.
You're just to and fro. And then you're sort of share
the meal, you know, that's the vibe.
(13:47):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's break that down so everyone's talking
at once. No.
Well, you said everyone's chatting and that kind of thing.
It's in a theatre, like 700 people out in front of you, and
you're wanting that vibe. Hopefully, hopefully people will
buy tickets. And that's us, you and me and
the cleaning crew. Let's say 30 and 30 people in a
large venue, all all clumped together so we can get a good.
(14:09):
Time shot, so I'll move forward,move forward.
As if I'm I will. I don't know if you can bet on
this kind of stuff, but I'm betting on it.
Well, I hope so, but no. So you and I'll be having a
chat. You'll ask me some questions.
You're gonna have to read the first half of the book.
The 2 is named after it. Isn't that funny though?
Just to keep that whole. Nope.
(14:29):
Well. I mean, I guess you could keep
having not read the first half of the book and we could get the
audience to provide the questions.
This. Is what I do.
I like to bring people in. So then I'll hop up and I'll do
a little bit of cooking and thenwe'll chat a bit.
There's gonna be, you know, somefootage of some of the fun stuff
that's gone down. Yes.
You know, hopefully you've got some footage of the radio days.
(14:50):
There'll be a bit of master chefstuff, you know, just some of
the scenes that will take us back into that moment so we can
chat about those. Yeah.
And obviously time for the people in the room to have their
questions answered and for us tochat back and forth.
And you know, and by the end of it, there'll be some food ready
and. Oh, are we eating together at
the end of it? Well, people, everyone just
(15:11):
comes up on stage for the. Depends.
If only six people buy tickets, then yes.
Then. We can only together.
Otherwise, it might just be, youknow, like you have a couple of
friends at your kitchen bench. Yeah, because I've been
picturing it without knowing anything.
And obviously you've been picturing it.
Yeah. Can you describe the stage to
me, how we look? Because I'm seeing a couch over
(15:32):
the one side. Draw on a picture of what I want
the stage to look like. Oh okay, yeah, well does it have
a couch over one side? A couple of armchairs.
So are you close? Oh.
Armchairs can I get? Out.
I mean, because we've been next to each other and yeah, if you
went over my half of the couch, we might touch.
No, we'd have to put like some gaffer tape weird along the
middle of the thing that you stay on your side touching.
(15:54):
Me, stop touching. Me, stop touching.
Me for two hours, yeah. So does it go for two hours?
Yeah. Are we locking in a time?
Roughly, yeah. It's a 2 hour time frame, yeah.
Yeah, it'll be an early start. What?
Do you mind what? Don't start insulting people
already. Oh.
I didn't even know I was that was just that, you.
(16:17):
People, I know what you're saying about me, my demographic.
Just saying like, I can stay up all night, but you know, there'd
be nothing worse than halfway through the show and you're
hearing snoring, right? Especially if it was me.
So Julie, Julie, Julie, wake up.Stop dagging me.
(16:39):
Guys, we're gonna have to rejig this.
This show needs to start around 4:30. 4:30.
With a gap. And we have dinner beforehand.
Time for a nap and then. And a wee breakout.
We'll pause to watch Wheel of Fortune put it up on the big
screen. We'll.
Watch it together. Yeah.
Are we gonna bingo? Yeah, will there be bingo and
(16:59):
and hope so. So I'm picturing.
OK, so now it's two chairs. Mine's a lazy boy or something
like that. It's got the it's a recliner
well and a rocker would be good as well.
A rocket, a rock rocking recliner.
Ohh A. Rocker recliner.
Yeah, so. That wouldn't be distracting at
all. Whoa, whoa.
Two hours of and I've. Got armchairs on one side and
(17:22):
then on the other side's the kitchen.
Yeah, kitchen setup. Bar stools at the kitchen.
Yeah, there'll be chairs at the.Kitchen.
Can I come and join you over there or do I have to stay in my
recliner? What if I wanna stay in my
recliner? Well, you can stay in your
recliner. I mean, I may even send you off
stage sometimes. It depends on my mood and yours.
How? How are you thinking you're
(17:43):
going to? Obviously we'll have to have
some sort of signal for when yougo.
Alright, you can leave the. Stage signal will be who's on
the spotlight. Can you just put the spotlight
on me now and we'll just darken everything else and that's your
cue to just get off site? Number of times I've heard that
when we've done stuff together. Little more of me.
Little more of me. You don't have to say that.
(18:05):
No. God, the number of times when we
were doing a brekkie radio show together and we'd go somewhere
and someone would come up and go, oh, can I get a photo?
And we're both like, yeah, yeah,totally.
And then they hand me their phone.
I'm like, oh, do I? Do I just take a selfie?
Or Eddie. Oh, look at them and they've got
(18:25):
their arm around Julie. Oh, do you know what that
happened to me once? I know how it feels.
Who went? I was walking down this.
Huge. Yeah, I was walking down the
street. We were filming.
It was a getaway episode, and I was with Dermot Brewerton.
Oh, OK. And someone, this guy comes up
(18:45):
and he's like, oh, can I get a photo?
And both of us at the same time went of course.
And he handed me his phone and I'm like.
Yeah. Oh, good, good.
Thank you, Dermot. Thank you brought me right down
the. Earth, now you know.
But it didn't bring you down to earth.
No, I wasn't. Yeah, I wasn't why you keep
getting taught the same lesson. The universe just keeps handing
(19:07):
you the iPhone. It's.
Really funny, which I shouldn't say, like with that tone in my
voice, but the universe keeps handing you an iPhone.
Took me a minute to get my head round and go, yeah, yeah, it's
just you getting it yet, mate. That's what the universe is
saying. They're not here for you.
(19:32):
Stop, it's making me sound terrible now.
You're making you sound terrible.
That's true. So, yeah.
All right. So at some point, you'll just,
like, point to the side of the stage and I'll.
I'll skunk off. You'll know the look.
I'm well aware of the look. I've seen it many times.
And yes, I'm still here. All right, so we do the show.
(19:56):
So it's a bit of a chat. Go up and cook.
What are we gonna cook? What are you cooking?
I don't know yet. I haven't decided.
Yeah, but it's gonna be. Something to take samples out
into the crowd. Maybe we you know what, there's
things that need workshopping. Yeah, most, most of the show, by
the sounds of it. Questions from the crowd at the
end. You want me to go out with the
microphone? Sometimes at the end, maybe
(20:17):
sometimes in, in, in it. Yeah.
OK. It's gonna be a show of parts
because there's gonna be a lot of topics to cover.
Rabs. Yeah.
And sometimes you, you need to get some guidance from the
audience as to which direction they would like it to go.
So there's obviously there's chapters that might be more
interesting to people than otherchapters.
Yeah. And you know, I wanna I wanna be
(20:38):
answering the questions that arein the audience to be asked.
So I really like question. Time.
Look, I like going out into the audience with a microphone, Do
you? Well.
So yes, yeah, I mean, I don't see why not.
I mean, I'm sure there's some AVguy sitting in some booth just
banging his head on the table going stop making promises.
Yeah, or another fun one that wecould do is like if we put a
(21:00):
spare microphone like inside a afooty or something.
What a soft one. We throw it out or like a beach
ball like that do at concerts. That's a beach.
Ball. It's got a microphone in it.
It's like a talkie. Stick it.
Hits someone in the head. Hilarious.
Ah, it's all content, Julie. True that, hey.
That'll sell tickets. What a knockout performance to.
(21:20):
A Frisbee. Oh, this is awesome.
Oh, now we're starting to get ideas.
See, we're workshopping now. Taping a microphone to a
Frisbee, throwing it into the crowd?
That's funny. Do you have magic tricks we
could put magic? Yeah, I know what?
So can I have a segment of the show where like I do my thing?
Yes. Yes, but then we have to put
(21:41):
your name into the title of the show as well, and I'm happy to
do that. I'm I'm all about.
Are you? I'm all about the rabbit and
Julie Goodwin and Reginald and Reginald tour, essentially.
What that'll do is hurt ticket sales.
OK, well look, there's there's plenty of great ideas there.
Obviously I'll have to get a transcription of this or
something to let AI figure out what those great ideas were.
(22:04):
Just feed all this into ChatGPT and get it to spit out a show.
Let's see what happens. Let's face it, I think please
could you do that 'cause that would be funny.
Probably what's going to happen.Oh, OK, I'll do.
It it is not What's 0? Isn't it?
Oh, OK, we write. We write very differently.
Yes. I will absolutely do that for an
upcoming episode. I'll feed all of this into
(22:25):
ChatGPT and. Say I didn't say write the show.
Can you now write the show for me and then I'll present it to
you as the ideas? That could have some good ideas.
Oh, 100%. It'll have some good idea.
There'll be stuff in there. We'll go.
OK, that's actually brilliant. Yeah, yeah, we definitely need
an aquarium with axolotls. I don't.
Even remember saying that at themoment I'm on the microphone out
(22:46):
into the crowd, right? And getting that to the people.
Drone Drone flying a drone inside the.
You'd need to put padding on themicrophone 'cause if you knocked
someone in the teeth like. Dying.
Well, I'd say their teeth are designed to come out anyway.
Here we are again. Stop it.
(23:10):
Save it for on stage. Is that what you're saying?
No. You can't kill ticket sales by
offending everybody. I think I can.
I mean, you shouldn't. I got it.
Oh, man. So Nah.
Look, I'll have a red hot crack at reading the first half of
your book because obviously I'm gonna get.
The audio book, I mean. It's red in my dulcet, relaxing
(23:33):
tone of voice. Chuck it on two times speed and
I'll knock it over in an afternoon.
So I'm a chipmunk now, Yeah, I've got a noise.
Yeah, I think I read a little. No, no.
When you get to that part, it slows down to normal speed.
Yeah, and so you've already readthat part over and over again.
(23:54):
It's the well summed section of my book In Your House.
Cover it the pages out and put them up on the wall.
It's. Laminated it so so all the drool
doesn't ruin the paper. Can't help but say it when it's
taped to your roof above your bed.
Super. Next to, Am I right?
(24:16):
Yeah, this could really hurt. Ticket sale of all of us.
I'm getting it all out now. I I get it.
I know. God, I've, I've lived my life in
Julie's shadow. It's fine.
I I will hold Julie up in the spotlight, up on her pedestal
still, whatever it is I saw. It written down as pedal stool
the other day. I'm like it's not a pedal stool
(24:38):
but it. Wasn't what I saw the other day.
Chester drawers, Chester drawers, that someone who's just
thought and you go on Facebook Marketplace, they're all through
there when people are selling a chest of drawers.
Both say Chester drawers. Chester drawers?
Yeah. Have you found your spot yet?

(25:43):
You get plans, you get all the Weber stuff, you get all the
steel gear, the amazing principal kitchens, but it's the
stuff that you don't expect likethat.
Because they come in with 46,000colour sample swatches, she's
been in colour for her kitchen cupboards.
I drew down to 4 colours for herand that took him out an hour
and a half. She got very emotional because
she was so inundated with colours.
(26:03):
Towards the end she was kind of picking up the colours again.
I said no stop. I've seen photos, seen videos.
Her husband's come in and gave me a big hug, saying thank you
so much, 'cause you're getting very emotional about it and
she's super happy. That's what she got.
And the mighty helpful King Campbell Mine again podcast with
Rabbit. Oh man.
(26:23):
Well, I'm really looking forwardto it.
I can't wait. Can we start now?
Oh. Do you know what we've got to do
before we go? This is the question I got
asked. Oh yeah.
Oh, this is the whole point of doing this episode.
It is, yeah, because we need to discuss this and we need to
discuss it now because it's got to be organised for us by next
year. And it depends on what the
answer to this question is as tohow long this is going to take.
(26:46):
Oh, true people to organise. Yeah, because you, so you called
me and said I've had this. I've been asking a question,
Yeah, and I need an answer, and the answer has to come from both
of us. And this question, pardon my
French, because, you know, I don't normally swear.
Wait. Will you swear on stage at the
Sage Live show? Because you do a lot.
(27:08):
Oh come on mate, don't give me that face.
Maybe. Depends on the audience.
Depends on what I bring out in you.
Yes, it's going to be hard to not frankly two hours.
But I did say to you, because I actually thought this what it
was, this question is going to sound like a piss take, right?
But it's a serious question and we have to come up with an
(27:28):
answer and we then have to decide whether we're going to
give a serious answer or whetherwe're going to see how hard we
can ride this horse. The question I was asked, which
made me burst out laughing and say come on, hilarious, was what
do you and Revs want in your writer?
(27:55):
So good, so good. I really know what a writer is
from reading about people like Beyoncé.
Yeah, so you will be shocked to hear that I have gone and done
some research. Come on, I looked up the 20 most
ridiculous band writers of all time.
Oh my God. So just for clarity, in case
(28:16):
anyone's like me and didn't knowwhat they were, what 1 was, a
writer is the list of requests, demands, whatever that you give
to a venue that they have ready for you when you arrive.
So I know that there are very big names that have things like
whole new toilets in the hotel or new toilet seats is quite a
(28:38):
common one, apparently. Yeah.
I don't know what you're eating off them.
The room needs to be painted in a certain shade of pink or you
know, there's. Beyoncé had one of ice cubes in
perfect spherical like balls of ice.
Why that was I don't know. OK, I don't know.
I don't know the answers. I do know the answer to 1.
Van Halen had one where they wanted all the brown M&M's taken
(29:00):
out on their thing or I was all.Heard about this but have you
maybe from you? But do you know why?
Yeah, they have a whole lot of safety requirements on stage,
very technical stuff, and they wanna know, I think I'm getting
this right, that people are detail oriented because if
you're not detail oriented, thenpeople's lives could be in
danger. So they throw in weird stuff.
It's essentially to get to know that they've looked at
(29:23):
everything on the list. Yeah.
And there's a bowl there and allthe brown M&M's are taken out.
They've gone through everything in that list.
If they haven't done that, then it's like, well, did you read
the list? Like, have you gone through it?
Yeah, they were doing pyrotechnics and all that sort
of stuff. Interesting.
Yeah, I get, I get that because sometimes when I'm going off to
do a food festival and I providerecipes and prep lists and
equipment lists and all that sort of stuff and I'll turn up
(29:45):
and yeah, half of it's not there.
I don't know quite how. So you already have a writer?
That's not really a writer. That's just.
Yeah, I think you've got a rider, but my rider.
Is that the ingredients are there?
What a boring rider. I'm gonna do a search on the 20
most boring riders of all. Time I'll tell you what I'll
tell you I have it because I literally all I could think of
(30:06):
when my manager asked me this question and I burst out
laughing and said, oh, oh, I want pink toilet seats, which I
think was amalgamation of a few different people's things.
Yeah. And she goes, no seriously you,
you need to say what you want inthe green room and what she what
she need on the night. And all I could think of after
she made many suggestions was mineral like sparkling water.
(30:27):
Oh my God, so. Rookie I've I've, I've put some
more thought into it. Yeah, not a lot because I keep
coming back to. Tell me some of the things that
she was suggesting. She said you've got a So she
said the show will be starting around about 7:00.
You've got to have food. You'll be there for, you know, a
couple of hours beforehand. Yeah, getting prepped.
And I'm like, I don't think she knows Rabbit very well.
(30:48):
No, she's talking to you. He'll he'll roll in at 7 just so
you know, 02, she said, you know, some people have bowls of
chocolates and bowls of chips, so they've got something to see
them through. But you this is gonna be dinner
time and I just said to a three nights so I don't wanna eat
chips and chocolate three nightsa week for dinner.
I know that's. Boring.
We're doing this differently. Yeah, well, yeah, I'm just a
(31:10):
strip. I don't wanna.
Yeah, do that 'cause I will, yeah.
If that's what's in the green room, that's what I will eat.
And I and it's so bad for you. Yeah, so, you know, she said.
Well, you need to have a think yet.
Like if you're in a club, that might be a light meal if you're
in. So it's all different kinds of
venues. Clause one second here.
Can I just encourage the listener, as you're listening to
(31:30):
this right now, think about whatyours would be.
Yes, if someone came to you and said before you do this thing,
whatever it is, yeah, we can provide anything that you need
before it. What would you like now?
I've gone straight to anything you need.
I don't know what the limits areon this sort of stuff, but.
But I mean, even just on the food side, like if they said
(31:51):
we'll have whatever food you need there.
Yeah. What would what would you do?
Like what? Yeah.
I mean, you know my time when I suggested the idea of the gift
registry for how to thank me forthings.
Yeah. Do you remember what my thing
was? Fruit Chalks.
Close. Coated sultanas.
Yeah, yeah. So pretty much any fruit covered
(32:11):
in in chocolate. I I don't do sultanas anymore.
Don't you reckon if you walked into a room 3 nights running and
that's what was there for you toeat, that you would just eat it
and then you'd have regret and then you'd be out on stage
going? Oh, I'm so bloated.
I wish I hadn't eaten that whole.
Jar of fruit chalks. I've had this dream before and
(32:32):
it it doesn't end badly in the dream.
Do you have underwear on? That's the main thing.
Well, why would I when I'm hopping into a bath of fruit
shocks? That's the extra reason to put
underwear on. Do you hate them, you think?
I'm sharing them with you. You can't free ball it in your
bathtub full of fruit shocks. You find out that you also
(32:53):
requested a bathtub of fruit shocks, right?
And then they go, and you find out at the end of the tour
you're like, thank you for organising that thing for me
everywhere. And they go, yeah, well, when
Rab said the same thing, you're like, wait, what?
It's like, wait, who arrived earliest?
And you're like, well, it's really weird because I've never
seen Rabbit be early for anything.
But he was always there before me every day.
(33:14):
Oh. No, no.
It's a shame they were always melted by the time I got into
them. Well anyway, that's a lovely
visual for everyone. Oh, OK, so.
Now I know it's not on my rider.So yeah, you've got to think
about what you're eating before you go on stage, because then
you're on stage for two hours. Yeah, Now I don't think again.
(33:35):
I've never done a travelling roadshow like this.
Can we just pop off to the bathroom halfway through?
Halfway through. Well, if you've got to go.
If you're in a position where you've got two hours of a
cushion, go right before we go on stage.
Yep, I will tell you. Yeah, you remind me.
That's because I won't. And what happens with me these
days since I've got on these meds and I drink so much water,
(33:57):
tons of water, it hits me like afreight train.
OK, I know what to do. Yeah, for you, one of those
catheter things. Oh yeah.
So you can just have a strap, You'll have to wear long
trousers. I mean, 80% of the audience ago.
Oh, he's got the same one as me.This is never gonna get off the
ground. I'm here to help.
(34:20):
You only season this is gonna gowithout paying that amount of
money to be insulted by ReginaldTour.
I won't do it on stage, do it here and then and not even
insulting anyone. We'll get you a convenience
thing. If it if it goes both ways, if
you're worried about both, OK, then maybe your armchair can be
(34:40):
one of those commode. Yeah, it's like a like one of
those camping toilet things. It's just the seat and then
there's something underneath it.So looking at it looks like a
standard recliner. You can't see the thing
underneath you. Can't see that there's a bucket
underneath. Clear.
OK, well, I'm glad we're talkingthese things.
It's clear. Again, I don't know all the
(35:02):
details of this show. You're putting together a weird
show, but I'm here for it. So yeah, you do have to think
about what you're going to have right before you go on start,
like eating, you know, no curries.
I wouldn't think so, yeah. No, what are you thinking?
So what are you? Where are you?
(35:23):
We are roasted. I don't know, You're probably
going to be a little bit mad at me because she said, because I
said I'm seeing Rabbit in a couple of days, we have to
discuss this. I can't just answer for him.
And she said, all right, that's fine, but we need one venues
rider now and so he's the first one.
I just made one up. On my behalf.
(35:45):
Wait, hang on a second. I haven't even asked.
Do I get one? I just realized I just assumed
because I'm gonna be this standing next to you.
Yes, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well, it's ours. Yeah, it's yours, Mine and ours.
What have you done I? Can't, because it can't be very
interesting. If you said chocolate sultanas,
I'm gonna have to eat them. You probably wouldn't have
though. It depends what frame of mind I
(36:07):
was in when I answered the question.
Let me just go and here we go. Brussels sprouts.
You've actually got the rider there.
I look, this is awesome, said. Any chance you can text Rebs
quickly? We need this to confirm the
first venue, but we can change later.
I shouldn't have read that to you.
Oh, you're probably and I hate this.
Hurry up, I can't believe you'veruined the tour for me before it
(36:29):
even. Only one venue, right?
I've ruined one venue so you canbe cranky for the first one and
then the rest. Is it the first one?
I don't know. It's one of the first three, OK.
There's a venue that is. Something we need the writer
now. I mean, it's months away, so I
don't know what they're. Expecting oh so something slow
cooked. Something they have to grow from
scratch. About five months start.
(36:49):
Raising a calf, we're gonna needit to be to the age these these
have been dry aged for a certainperiod of time.
And then Julie's driven out there and pointed at a cow in
the field. Why that one?
That little one? When he hits 100K, baby, he's
the one. What do we have?
(37:10):
Well, I've said well just for that one now is.
This us together? Or is this have you done us
separately? No, it's just us together.
Because, you know, I'm like, oh,I don't even have to say gluten
free. Anymore if it's like spaghetti
and we have to eat it like Lady in the Tramp style.
God damn it, I'm going back to the see if it's too late to
change this one. Bowl of spaghetti and meatball
(37:33):
and a bathtub of fruit shocks. That's all we need.
That's all we need. And a see through.
And a Cam chair with a seafood commode bucket.
Start typing. She will just cancel the tour,
so she'll just start ringing people saying it's off.
Oh, boy. All right, let's go.
(37:54):
What do we got? It's so boring.
So it's just a combined thing. This is just put this backstage.
Just. Me with my sensible head on
bottle. Of I'm gonna end up swinging by
like coals or something on the way to get myself things.
Let's just say a light meal, sandwiches or something,
sparkling water, tea making stuff and some fruit.
Far out. I mean, I I'm.
Because I saw I'm not angry about, you know, my protein
(38:16):
music bars that I like. I always like to have little
tins of tuna. I but, but I carry that all with
me. Yeah.
Because I have been starved on tour before by the people
touring me and it's not pleasant.
So I carry stuff with me. But but so what's the point in
asking them to bring that when I'll have it in my suitcase?
Then you don't have to buy it. How much is a can of tuna or
(38:37):
salmon or whatever it is? You said fish in a can.
I don't even buy a half price sodollar $15.30.
Yeah, but you know, that's $1.30saved if if it's on the rider.
Wait, are we paying for the rider?
Yeah. Are we not out of our pocket but
out of the tour budget? Oh OK, yeah, I think put your
tins of tuner on the list anyway, just because that's
(38:59):
funny. What?
I don't know of any other band when I looked through those
lists that had cans of tuna on the thing.
I think tinned fish is a funny thing to have on a rider in
fact, especially if you write itin there as tinned fish.
I could get anything I could get.
This was funny about it. I don't want this to be funny.
It needs to be sustenance beforewe go on stage.
(39:21):
Well, she, she sort of threw outsome suggestions.
This is Lisa, my manager. She said some people say they
want a cheese board. Some people say, you know, like
shark a treat or some people saythey want a light meal.
And when you're in a club venue,they'll have a Bistro.
So if you want to order a hot meal, you can order a hot meal
and but then the theatres won't have the hot meals.
They have to send people out to get that sort of thing.
(39:42):
So. I'm just I'm really into toast
at the moment. Well, I've asked for tea making
facilities. If you want a toaster and a loaf
of bread, yeah, we could ask fora toaster and a.
Slice thick, thick sliced bread.Real butter.
Are you a Vegemite guy? No, you're a few weeks.
Really. Yeah, we have Marmite.
Yeah. What do you reckon?
Vegemite is also disgusting. Come on, everyone knows it is.
(40:04):
No, it's not. Everyone knows it's gross.
Beautiful, salty, delicious. It's all about the Vegemite
butter ratio. If you're getting that wrong,
well then you can't be helped I.Actually had no idea how hard
this would be. It is hard.
Isn't it? How?
About this, I'm trying to ride the line.
Let me see if I'm landing similar place to you.
Yeah, OK, I doubt it. I'm trying to ride the line
between making sure we have whatwe need to be nourished and on,
(40:29):
on the ball and sure that we're not starting 'cause sometimes
you'll roll into town, there won't be a lot of time we can't
go and suss out the places, too.Yeah.
This will be our meal, right? Yeah.
So I'm trying to make sure that we're looked after, but also not
wanting to be a diva. Oh, no.
Put down anything that's too difficult.
No, no. Make anyone go to too much
trouble. Yeah.
No, we're not. Looking in the same way, I think
(40:50):
so I. Have not thought of that side of
it. You want only thinking of that
side of it. You want your exotic fruit
platter brought in on a train ofAfghan camels led by somebody in
a headdress? Yeah, and write it down.
A troop of the belly dancers. Yeah.
I I'd like sushi delivered on the buff body of a Chippendale.
(41:12):
Write it down. Yeah.
And this is the problem, right. I watched this thing online the
other day and there was a guy, but then he'd had a bet with his
wife and then if she won in thisbet she got to have.
I can't remember how long it was3 minutes.
I think it was 3 minute all out shopping spree.
Grab anything you want inside like this homeware store and
(41:32):
then she's gone in there. It's like anything he's like
time starts now she's running around, got this basket and then
she's like going to grab a couple of cushions and then
she's like, wait, they don't go with the no, that won't no, he
gets to the end of the three minutes.
She's got nothing. You know, she went to grab a set
of plates and she's like, but they're not going to go with
they would have to replace all of those as well.
(41:53):
So I'd have to get the full set and he's like going a minute 30.
It's Julie, you the world. You've opened it like it's so
wild. What would you like?
We'll, we'll organize it. I'd like a chocolate fountain,
but it's got to be coverture chocolate and to dip into it.
I want marshmallows and strawberries, but only really
(42:14):
ripe ones. Pick all the good ones out of
the Punnett and the rest can go to somebody's chickens or
something. But.
Then again, at the end of the tour, you go, where did you even
get that much chocolate for the fountain?
They're like, well, once it all melted and grabs tub, we're not
going to Chuck it out. We've got it out of the bucket.
I want to taste it like shit. Can we get the fewer sponsored
(42:40):
by Fruit Shocks? Probably not after that.
They are distancing themselves. They are issuing A cease and
desist as they listen. Really doesn't know what fruit
shocks are. He'd talk about them, they're
in, they're from SA and it's like apricot balls.
Do you? Remember that year I bought you
5K5K box for Christmas and you were really mad at me because I
(43:01):
was sabotaging your efforts to be healthy and then you ate the
whole box I had? Literally just gone like that's
it. I'm on a hardcore, I'm getting,
I'm dropping some weight, I'm getting free.
I was out of control. Happy birthday Rabs, here's 5
kilos. Of how would you get them
shipped? You can't buy 5 kilos anywhere
in the shops, you have to get them shipped.
(43:22):
From the factory, yeah, the one that's.
Quite an amount of effort. Yeah, so did I I ate all of
them. You.
Put them in the bath. I ate all of them.
What is wrong with me living my best life?
I don't I don't know. I.
Think we've ruined free chalks for the Rider?
Yeah, it's this is a problem because you have also said in
there it'll be sensible and yeah, you'll be going out on
(43:44):
stage right after and because otherwise, yeah, it was all just
chocolate. There's chips and chocolate.
Yeah, that's all we need. But.
But then, yeah, I don't want three nights of just regret.
OK, I've got. To go on stage hating myself.
I think I've got it. It's that.
That my life choice. House special burger in every
place. Oh, no, all right.
(44:05):
I thought, it's quite often I will say something and I feel
really confident about it. And then your face just says,
oh, it's the worst thing I've ever heard in my life.
Because I'm thinking about it from a performance perspective,
right? So I know when I go on stage to
do a cooking demo, when I go on stage to do a speaking gig.
But even back when I used to think I can't have too much in
my stomach 'cause it makes me feel heavy.
(44:28):
I don't know, it's somehow connected to my brain.
If I've got a full belly, my brain slows down.
Yeah. So you get more of like an
incentive like serve the dinner at 9:00.
If you do a good job like that, that keeps you switched off.
Oh. That's open things up when I
come off stage. Yeah, I'd like a full pork
crackling belly. Yeah.
Roast potatoes, gravy. I want pumpkin.
(44:50):
Then I want some salads just to lighten it up a little bit.
Blueberry and. Apple crumble?
Definitely crumble. Creme brulee, panna cotta.
I want stick it out. Pudding with butterscotch sauce.
Vanilla ice cream. But proper vanilla bean ice
cream. Not the horrible stuff.
Yeah, maybe a selection of gelatos.
OK. And just to keep it light and
healthy, some fruit. If we get to it.
(45:12):
If we get to it. I'm so.
Fruit optional, yeah, but yeah, prior that.
Just ruins it. This is like the worst rider
ever. Well, why can't they give us a
rider for the nights we're not doing the show?
See, that would be for. At home.
Can we ask for that? Like just go, all right, this is
the rider, but we don't want it at the venue.
We want it at home. We want it sent to our houses so
(45:37):
I can like, pig out on the couch.
Yeah, feel bad about myself, butI'm all.
I'm just going to bed for me. If you could change the toilet
seats that'd be great. And the light globes on your
Adam. Do you know what I love is that
you've you held off replying to her?
Yeah. Wait till I talk to rats.
Because I've got a So now I whatam I going back with?
(45:58):
A bathtub of fruit shops. It's a dimmed fish and.
We'd like it delivered to his house on all the nights we're
not doing the tour. I don't, I really don't know.
I don't, you know, it would be something boring like you said.
Yeah, it's gotta be something boring like sandwiches.
And I I like sandwiches. I love sandwiches.
(46:19):
No, that I'm not gluten free. Well, you'd be making up 10
years of not eating sandwiches. I'd be eating sandwiches 24/7.
I love sandwiches. Yeah, sandwiches are great.
Every time I go somewhere, whether it's a meeting or
conference or and people put outthose trays of little triangle.
Actually I need to put triangle little triangles.
Here we go. Yes, hey, here it comes I.
See, you've stepped over the line.
(46:40):
Yeah, Welcome to Dover Town. Trying.
On me, this is growing. Up a cross on or off?
Yeah. Cross on when the cross.
On but I'm not going to eat them.
Maybe I will and maybe I won't if I'm having a curly hair kind
of day. Oh God, I know what I want on my
rider. What, like a dog?
A Labrador or something? That'll eat all the sandwiches.
(47:02):
The crusts. This is what I was thinking.
So I was like the crust. What do we do?
We can't be in competition for food with an animal.
Not a Labrador. Not.
A Labrador, it's going to win. Not many animals would, but a
Labrador would. You've got your you've got your

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
