The Joe Rogan experience.
It looks like you just have a huge marble.
I've never understood the paperweight market.
I've probably had in my life maybe 10 paperweights.
I don't think I've had 10.
I've never had a bit where my paper has been so out of control.
I just shut windows.
You know what I mean?
Like I'm a window shutter.
I see that as an easier fix than just paper blowing everywhere.
And plus there's so many outside, like in your yard,
if you really needed something to weight something down,
just get a rock.
This is one.
A book is one.
Anything's one.
Like there's people who made us think that it's an actual invention
that we'll build an actual glass object with a spindly thing in the middle.
Yeah.
And then everybody else was like, oh, shit,
we've got to get involved with that market.
Right.
Goddamn, we've got to jump on that globe market.
I wonder if it's patented.
It's patented?
Patented.
You say patented?
Could be.
Patented.
Yeah, that's what we say.
Did I say patented?
Is that how you would say it?
I think that's how I would say it,
but I still think that's the wrong way to say it in my accent.
I just think it was me speaking like a tard.
I don't think it was anything to do with being Australian.
It's so bizarre how similar Australians are to Americans,
even though like, you know, you guys have a different accent.
You know, the accent's a little odd for us, you know.
I think we're more similar to the British person.
You are as well, but I mean, it's amazing how you go there.
By the way, the way I mean it, it's like you just could fit right in.
Yeah.
The accent melts after a day.
Yeah.
That's just what people sound like, and it seems like you're in America.
Well, I don't notice the American accent now on anybody at all.
It's only when I have to do an audition and they make me do the American accent
that I get a bit shitty with the whole thing.
Oh, do they do that?
Yeah.
Do they make you change your voice?
Yeah.
And like, I fucked that one audition.
I got a couple of callbacks and then I said the word, uh, I said, I said, I
went to the
zoo and I saw a zebra.
I still said zebra in an...
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Listen to the way he just said that.
I still said it in an American accent, but with British phrasing and they
freaked the
fuck out.
I need to hear more of this American voice.
That was a creepy voice, dude.
Why is that so creepy?
What are we going to do for that?
Dude, that is creepy as fuck.
You talking with an American voice, that is creepy.
Like, I say that, I'm sort of, I wouldn't say synonymous with it, but I say cunt
a lot
on stage and people always want me to say cunt like when they have photos
afterwards.
Talk American right now.
In my accent, if I say cunt, it sounds great, but even when I say cunt as an
American, I
go, ooh, well, that's a bit harsh.
Dude, you sound like a totally different human when you put on that American
accent.
Look at that fucking cunt over there.
Come on.
You would never think that's Jim Jeffries.
There's no way I would think that's you.
I know, but that's the thing.
If you called me up, that would freak me the fuck out.
I'm going to tell you right now, don't do that.
Just because I sound gay?
Is that the problem?
No, it doesn't sound gay at all.
Hey there, Joe, it's Jim.
I just want to speak to you very quickly.
We have a few problems here right now.
It sounds vaguely fucked up.
Like, it doesn't sound right.
It sounds really good, though.
It's so close to like a real person.
But yet not.
I'm like, there's something affected about this.
Do an accent, Joe.
I want to hear you in an accent.
Do an Australian.
See how you can do an Australian.
I can't do it.
You can't even make a fight one.
I don't know how to do it.
I would have to like...
That actually wasn't bad.
You can't do a fight one over there, Joe.
No, you lost me there, mate.
See, we don't say shit.
We don't say shit.
I do more English, I think.
Well, mine's 50-50 because I lived in England for 10 years, but we don't say
the word shrimp.
No?
This is like, Americans call prawn shrimp.
We call them prawns, right?
Paul Hogan does that fucking commercial where he goes, all right, we'll throw
another shrimp on the barbie for you.
Like that, right?
And now that's like synonymous with Australians when that's not even a word we
say.
I have people yell that out at American gigs.
Like when I'm on stage going, do the shrimp thing.
I'm like, fuck off, man.
Isn't it weird how many like crazy personalities have come out of Australia?
Like the Crocodile Hunter, Paul Hogan, Crocodile Dundee.
Yeah, oh yeah.
He was our Diana.
Yeah.
Crocodile Dundee.
Crocodile Dundee was your Diana.
He lives around here somewhere.
Does he?
Paul Hogan, yeah.
Kangaroo Jack.
They only did a couple of those Crocodile Dundees, though, and then they were
done.
I would have thought that could have been like some Indiana Jones type shit.
No, no, they did a third.
You haven't seen that?
The third one's appalling.
The third one's always straight to DVD.
And it's like, because the whole idea was that Crocodile Dundee went from
Australia,
in the outback of Australia, to New York, and was like, what the fuck's he
going to do?
This is such a different place.
He can survive out there, but he can't survive here.
So that happened for the first two films.
Then for the third film, you think, let's send him to another country like
Britain or
somewhere else that's different.
It's Crocodile Dundee in LA.
Now, the thing is, he's been living since the last Crocodile Dundee film.
He's been living in New York for over a decade, and then he gets to LA, and he
doesn't know
what's going on.
Like, it's too alarming for him.
Like, what are all these people wearing sunglasses for?
This is weird.
Jeez, these women's breasts are too big.
Like, it's not a great film.
And in the end, he becomes an animal trainer for the movies, and he foils
robbery.
An animal?
Actually, now I look back on it, it's a great film.
Ha ha ha ha!
You ready to record?
It's recording.
Oh, it is already?
Yeah.
What the fuck, son?
