you afterwards did they know about the pod uh no they were they did not came in
but they were like
they said your boy was popping off yeah he was he was go off season on the holocaust
it wasn't always
a j friendly podcast i believe it always was i think there was always a love
that was underneath it was
kind of like south park yeah the way cartman talks to kyle and you know where
it caught you know
secretly he he respects jewish people and he likes them a lot yeah every single
one you know cartman's
funded by the community is by israel really that would be a great episode if he
met netanyahu and he
started respecting jews if caravan was like how about cartman yahoo oh that
would be good yeah how would
that go i oh you respect my authority gaza okay let's cut that uh let's cut
that no it's making it
when when we were in melbourne no it's all staying in dude this has to i mean
we're running we were
going to stop the recorder rides at one hour exactly on the dot and we used to
do that with comtown we
literally put a timer and like mid-sentence we'd stop the recorder it was the
laziest job in the world
it's good it's efficient yeah and it was i don't know it forces you to be
better in that it was
magic yeah it was just and the rest is history um no uh yeah in melbourne
everyone was like yeah good
luck over there it's like the woke city and at that time we were like the cheeky
white boy podcast we
were like a little bit it was before you know skank fest before skank fest
before we shane you know
shane hosted snl yeah now white boys are back up but like at that time it was
really
maybe comtown will trump elected for the second time yeah come down right
before come down to host snl
it'd be so funny if they've never had three hosts if they book comtown as the
host of snl is and they
they they just have nick and stov i'm like i'm like watching it on tv i'm like
what the
fuck dude you could you could go on weekend update tell me yeah no no they don't
even tell me yeah
i'm just seeing it at home my dad i get a call from my dad he's like yelling at
me i'm like i didn't
know he would want you to be like what the fuck yeah um no yeah but they're
like good looking melbourne
it's like the woke city and so i was on stage and i just incoherent australian
and i said i was like
i was like shut up dude you'll never be on comtown huge ovation right and then
i got home this is a
heckler some heckler right i got home in melbourne yeah yeah and back to the
hotel and then it was like
i saw on like twitter like good on adam for shutting down those racists tonight
at the melbourne show
but i didn't realize that they were shouting out like terrible slurs apparently
oh really like
i it was incoherent to me so i accidentally was that's a i accidentally became
a hero it was like
it was very like uh i didn't i guess now i'm saying it but it was not on
purpose but had i
known what they were saying i would have also i don't know if i would say you'll
never be on come
yeah i don't know if that's the right thing just like yeah you see like a like
someone being racially
abusing someone on the streets like you'll never be on come down brother this
is not our value cut it
out bro stop it you've listened to way too many podcasts it's just it's a it's
a it's a it's kind
of a high-minded kind of satire you don't understand you're taking it too far
did come town have like a
charter like ethics mission statement that type of we never talked to the press
seriously is that true yeah we're like we've we requested we rejected every
interview like the new
york times has stepped up like three times yeah but that was the next policy
that was next well it was
always on like the dirt bag they always make it seem like it's like we want to
profile this cool
thing that you're doing and then like the third paragraph is but yeah but they're
fucking gay or racist or you know it's like yeah it was like whatever so that
was pretty smart at the
time but now i'm i'm open to any press inquiry if anyone's watching at this
point yeah yeah i'm
i'm happy you might go to australia i could hook you up with australian press

morning zoo radio there's one called the project which is right in between
comedy and the news

genuinely the news but
they got three comedians on the panel so it's like they're saying oh so there's
