Another current o Brien needs a friend. I thought I'd go with something I like it run, veiling something very beautiful and untruths. Your head, I because all the. How are you Conan here now behold, like you, do in real life in the rent, fair, it's another car Brian needs friend, these champagne worker. I use my inner emptiness, the soul to try and no language conversations with people. I really love and admire and joint is always by stoning of session. I saw a hi hello, very good. That's perfectly think you are. I tell her perfunctory high you're, giving the absolute minimum today and then and Mr Mann Goarly, faithful, prettiest, that's creepy. Clearly I see, and you can see me I just said I do we not just stir well conceived hello, good to see you. Ok, this is Canada,

Why have we could vital this chemistry? We would have an owner of agent killed every one guess with the active ingredient, their nicely done, goarly, gesture cookie when we're done very excited about our guest. Today, my yesterday was a corresponding on a daily show and now how see Emmi Award winning show last week tonight on each be always also one to Peabody awards for his work on the series. I M very excited because this guy is so fine, so popular and somehow I've never really had a chance to sit down and talk with him again. This podcast is the gift that keeps on giving for me personally, as I've been looking forward to getting to know this guy, I really do admiring Hallijohn John Oliver is with us, Mr Oliver,

I want to be very open in this interview, I think of everyone. I've spoken to. I know you the least. Well, I think we were back stage I know you ve done the show, but I don't think I've ever really having a long conversation with you. We were backstage it a benefit once yes, and I think I tried to be it's you and I'll, never forget what he said. He said I have repass Jew you in every way. This is a quote I said, oh hey, John, I'm a big admiring. You cut me off and you said I have surpassed you in every way.

Creatively and as a man, and we will speak no further at our world to escalate as yours, software soft eyes. And yes, yes, your headed up to the lingerie floor and I'm plunging down and my escalators moving very quickly down and yours is regally rising slowly, but but surely yeah, yeah and so on. They forget that you are right, of course, but I didn't think it was right to say that your eyes, sometimes sometimes things by the left just festering. I do love that. I'm going to point this out that whenever I have of an extent like this, and we both just met to it. Going to be someone who's gonna come up to me somewhere. You know like when I go to the gun store to get my guns cleaned There's someone who's gonna, come up to me and say Can John Oliver said that you agree with it and then I'm gonna,

kid double down and say: yes, he's an awful awful man. That's a deal then. Then, when people come up to me and say, I can't believe you said that the codon I said, I can't believe I just I would have such advertising does my only regret. We all know it's true wisdom, in common, which is when I met you for the first in oversight for the first time you were much taller than I expect new, and This is your experience, I'm assuming it is. I must come across on tv as a little fellow, because my aunt, higher life? Has Ben people in others. When they meet any that. I am sorry for the utter shock they get into- I mean tv you're such a little little man to settle the small under a real time. Allow just think so little lobby was a person. I know it's the same conversation every time,

emotionally, I feel five foot to maybe that projects through a screen because you're always behind a desk yeah, and you have all these great unhappiness where you hunched over the desk. Just terrible. My poster is so bad. This is true. They have basically weeping over six years now and I ve been trying to fix my suits the six years because they ride up at the back. Because I owe a hunch. There is no way to make a suit lie elegantly. My frame, because I'm too kind of study with my yes, what for small? That's? Why I'm here I noticed it. I know your show does very well, but it could do so much better. If I was just looser of shoulder and it will. I think, first of all, you need some kind of a truss. You know something with whalebone in it, for she is you two an erect position, anything with well bone in its on already on board

have the same fetish I generally of the idea of while suffering, something that I may lead. I love you the day as their killing whales. They tell them what they're going to be used for so there even though we don't have you any evidence that the whale is sentient about visas are obviously sentient, but there Did they don't understand our language, but as we're stabbing them? Yes, you know it's in the sea of Japan were yelling at them. This is for a corset that will help comedian John Oliver sit upright as he does comedy and that's the last thing. The whale here says old love owed lobby which Bewitched brigands area. This is not. The medicine has left the bought, a closet. This issue and it will be unappreciated

yeah? That's let's try and get that out there that message out there when animals are killed. It should be explained to them that this is not for a good purpose right. This is, it is, but it's not even a luxury killing. This is right. This is literally pointless. Your body is about to begin an ephemeral. Your marrow is gonna, be compressed and turned into the material. Its use for a plastic code hangar dry, cleaner. You spoke about Peter this week. Right, yes, of course, as always, listen if one can take a joke. Salespeople paper suggests of a sense of humor Peter shot at Peter. Nobody, I'm delighted to get too to me. You, you ve, had really an absurd amount of success. Success and I shoot em the word successes frightened

I barely resent you, you ve now wine and how many mps in a row and it's ridiculous- yes, its objective in its indefensible, some local trying to yeah. I think you ve had like for me or five or I don't someone in the room hold up a hands. How many years in a row k for. Let me tell you for two they're. All sarcastic winds. Yes, ok! Does it helped him to know that a definite feels that way he asked yet are doing? to sort of knock you that's it. Erica, that's a tradition after two everything is just oh yeah. And use your Emily there's another one. I guess you think you deserve. This talk is perfect you should you should please just start being openly contemptuous as you accept that just leave them on the stage and then have the stage manager bringing jungle. Admittedly, you can just keep. It was so many british people winning this year and its british people are not the best people too

The words to why down. There's no enow consists and solid happiness. Core of our souls is that true, I think it's pretty meet at a generalization, but also yes, it's emphatically true just cause you ass the empire that someone there's the echo of that not all of it. We still got Bermuda and welcome dollars, put up a fight that we held onto them. Yes, you Had you to slap you so Denmark and around. We wanted those well if we are willing to sink a shift going in the opposite direction. As someone must have known tat the rumours you sank, it accidently partnership, hard to think of a ship accident. People did it now, but it is true. I mean don't tell me that Phoebe Waller, just how it was silly bridge feet feed while a bread shoe is we're all

deeply in love with her she's using chrome, I think it feels silly, don't tell me she feels badly but herself at her core. I would be profoundly disappointed, as you didn't know, that occasion, in particular it so quintessentially american, yet I am is yes, don't silly and opulence you, gonna feel physically, you have no business being their rights both in terms where you come from, and also literally your body. You look. You look at these people kind of floating through the air I was a troll ask quality of It turned out, MRS Gill me to show you need it. I saw it just feels it feels really discuss populating. Being at all and then being on stage a kind of just always want to get off as quickly as possible, but that's the healthy response. Is it it doesn't feel healthy nobody's? How

Its healthy, too deeply distrust any kind of show business gathering and I'm actually being serious here. I think that is the healthy responses to find it. I find gatherings like that, where giving out where people give, now towards I. Realize I'm on my guard, because I think you have this is. This is set up for great unhappiness. Definitely anyone you who's in that room is in the one percent of the one percent of one percent in terms of their comedy dreamer there that that ridiculous just put onto the audience that listening right now, that John has it can't you on hand that says for em. I do now that's different. That's different thick and clearly you ve, crossed out. Why any that's right, you areas, three enemies. I died she really I'd the strangest experience with an award just a few weeks ago. I got a call from the british Council here in New York, my out of nowhere sent a british consulate. They wished you too,

turn the call immediately, which sounds like a wartime. Yes, a graph yeah. Please stop call stop and that would they this this very a guy so sunk with such clipped, pretty to him, it was there was genuinely offence. I think this is yes. We have you heard he was doing. A parity is actually it was like a doll. I dare say that's right, that's her majesty most pleased. He said like to wish you luck in Obi. Would you like to greet like utopia? is there? That's the metals owners lists is now with the metal, the vague in an opium. What the Beatles God in sixty five like on Opie yeah yeah, I think I m. Then it goes mba than there's no right and it was. There was a moment of thinking to get to go to the Buckingham palace. Tat would be

That would be an experience and then what kicks in his own? I don't want to. I want something. I don't want an order of the british empire. Why on earth? Would I want that that feels like her and then then I looked up. All the people who rejected is, I think, the Beatles think they gave it back in the I only John gave it back centuries the others, the others are still wearing- there's never been taken of regos wearing a friend wearing awful gringo has his deputies to his forehead Samuel and besides, I asked me about my and you know it's: it's got graveyard really been around the bend, yet it's to award for comedy- are inherently silly. Yeah,

That said, I just want to put it out there. I will go anywhere to pick up anything. Let the record show just let the rugged show little someone's if I'm on. If it's between me and and John for anything, I will go anywhere. I will pay my own travel I'll put myself up, so you think I am delighted to speak with you, because you are a brilliantly funny. Fellow one of my obsessions is work ethic and people who put a great deal of work and effort into comedy that is my religion, I believe in that and then I can always tell that you are tell us about what you do and that you and your people put an enormous amount of work into crafting your show off. I have great admiration for you and for that I think that's I got a call to their people.

I understand that you just have to work your ass off to make something good and there's no magic too. It is a little bit magic and obviously he talent in and by nothing's supplants hard work already really appreciate that, because I think what would look all of this shows what they told. Look like much. It looks like this should be easier than it is banned. Isn't I feel the same I've always liked. I've, always really my people willing to sweat over making something point: five percent funny. I really like stand working with Dan hormonal community because he pulled himself through absolute hell. We're like something barely perceptibly funnier, but it was worth it, but you have as a performer, a really nice tone. You don't seem like you're full of yourself you for you. You have a genuine. I feel this silly, I hope you find it's silly to, but I never get a whiff of condescension

that's something you're in intending, I hope not lucky, because good with almost any saw the we're. Looking at. I didn't if you about it five weeks previously anyway, this is not like. Let me upon my will of knowledge and let's see what you're lucky enough to benefit from here, a whit we'll start looking at a topic five weeks before we do it on the shows which point all of us here a coming out it from some version of close to zero. Then a massive amount of work goes into trying to understand all the nuances of it and then looking at how we can communicate that. People who are also coming out from zero, so yeah, it's like trying to sell to people why why they should listen to it it why something that sounds particularly dry, genuinely interesting, sometimes that's a tricky. Then get we try and make sure that the tone is

Lee enough, often enough that it doesn't feel like you're being harangued yeah, we ve said, do we were chatting before the pod cast it, and I know that I have read you say this that day you ve always wanted this to come process like a form of the Mapuche it. Yes, you know- and you know you use- that you use a lot of puppets, and this is your idea, and I think there is, I think, a childish glee allows way. I've always best hope is the greatest yeah there stood. The happiest we are on. The show is when we're about to do something monumentally silly either, which is motive. Goodbye, nothing yeah, that's almost the best kind. Yes like that, have the most proud of being of people here is like the one of the first things they did. Was they built a miniature Supreme court for dogs? I couldn't believe this light with HBO resources so soprano set designers blame is beautiful. It was such a catastrophic wasted,

bodies time. Then you look at the natural resources that went into building. Ask exactly that door. Redwoods yeah led to be redwoods. I insisted on a one point. You said a rain forests tree make a nice tranches for this destroyed for this poodles. Briefly, I'll just go to the rainforests, although it needs to be near the undiscovered tribe yeah, we need to discover the tribe and in fact them where they are with us with our methodology and ruin their culture. Just so we can make this. Yes, it was actually you know. Sometimes when we really thinking about doing the most kind of flagrant misuse of HBO resources, the kind of first point in our mind is actually some. We your last week on the tonight, show waiting a kind of pudding. Making many eyes is on the Bacardi way dear faces pure, Joy in the midst of I know pain, but it was so great oh, I was so profoundly.

Massively silly. You now is at war with NBC and we decided to add those last couple shows waste It saying we're going to use all of embassies money in a wasteful fancier. And it was a joke, but we actually said forget it. Picasso or a Kandinsky, but we had this giant pay. In that we said was worth over one point: two million dollars and or One point eight or eight point F forget what we said and then we d we know we through stuff on it in front of people and they would be great triumphant music, afterward people we're furious because they thought that it was real They thought that I was really taking their neighbour, and so we were getting all these mean we're getting emails, it was still in the email era, but we're getting a lot of calls were getting like people saying you know glad people are you're working really hard and you're just spent six million dollars, and there you burn to Bulgaria and you think that's funny like now. We didn't really do that. We do

do that, but for that, cause I had. I use the spirit of that that he's kind of where, on the happiest wavery, you feel like you're on the edge of being real trouble just a few weeks We were doing something about the leader, Turkmenistan and can world records and ended with breaking It was a six thousand pound cake and I knew what was behind the curtain and enjoying rehearsal ousted giggling to myself. So much that I could call why to hear the noise from the origins when they realise what we ve, just yes, six hundred square foot cake how we should be in the council for the yes, you should be arrested in beat that's right and just go, get em, stop it it sets the joy of while the other joy is when you put in the order like when you called people s drops

and you say we're making, but you know built all come on in here: Yoda won't gone, we need aid, we need a Trojan horse, its actual size so needs about thirty feet. Tall, is to be made out of Turkey. Jerky- and it needs to be well did together and then its but be filled with rabbits something you know an end. They just look at you like how we ravished you thank you and the rabbits have to be dressed as a little. A roman soldiers are ok I want to help farmers with the little brushes on it. Yeah, ok, unknown rabbits! Ok and they don't laugh. Just take down and then they leave and then they build it and it's a beautiful thing. It's the best like having access to that kind of resources that that's where I find I'm the kind of the most grateful at being able to have those kind of conversations with other adults. Yes, have basically makes you glad that you managed to live to these points that, if

I'd known as a case that that would be a kind of conversational have not all that would have really taken the edge of my anxiety is a kid here's running about a lot. I think that, we managed to live at a time where there's economy, an economy scale that will support this level of bullshit area. Meaning had you and I been born two hundred years. Yet, oh, that's right! You we'd be on you know, I'd be. Will first ball you'd, be my english mass I'd have been taken by the wind, ok taken by the wind, so you'd be. I would be in a field somewhere. Yes indefinitely would I would be thank you. I will be in a field and would be my job would be to help get rocks out of the field so that we can build a wall here and I would be making all of these absurd comments, and everyone else, the other irish guys standing around. We he resenting me for not moving as many stones and then eventually they would kill me with sticks. You know, that's what would happen but we haven't.

Limit this time, whether like hey he's, pretty good at wasting time and saying silly thing. Let poor enormous amounts to free, since it is foolish. Yes, it does feel like this. It might be. A tiny window inhumanity especially way things are going yet where this was possible right. These idiots, what impact heavily empowered, nay, encouraged right to kind of food? fill the worst instincts that they ask and I think, sixty years from now, if you and I were managed to still be alive, will prime our jobs will primarily be to try and start a fire and how and they'll be like it be plain. We be like a shattered trump statue in the background people just very post apocalyptic comedians wasted, money will be, will be hunted cause. People will hate us so much every now and then they'll find Deblock week. We just spent

Months chasing a rat trying to catch it, so he could eat it, but we just found an old recording of John Oliver with six hundred square foot cake, smashing it with a baseball bat, whereas I think he's in that cave over there he's very old. Now, let's go kills. He'll kill him a striking. How how's that fire coming along when he says that he is not getting the fibre he's doing a funny way when they go for many people, high schools and embarrassing time of life, it can be embarrassing if you had that sooner. I did not. I was an incredible jock. What no captain of every team, every single sports team. You can't change the narrative captain of every single team by ice. I feel like no one would believe that lost my virginity fifth grade. Ok,

I was just incredible, so I don't know, but I told that people have a hard time of yeah, I'm sure with your awkward body, see, upsets supper you seem sorry, usually when people feel really sorry, they laugh so hard. They can't catch their breath. Okay, so now you win, I had some difficulties in high school. Yes, you know I'd it and all smooth sailing? What yeah? Ok, that's really funny yeah, I guess the jokes on me yeah anyway laughing at you again. We hear nothing when upon Castillo here. No, anyway. This new show a new show called every. Things, gonna, be ok, and heard the sun. They show up. It's it's quite compelling, sir, I think, a key. Character, her dad is dying, Her gay australian half brother moves in two razor

end of the show is called everything's going to be okay and it's these two characters. Matilda and genevieve- and this does not sound like your typical sitcom Matilda has autism and Genevieve is just as someone who's dressed up like a quote child whore widow, and these characters. I guess have all these adventures. I have a half brother Nicholas, there's a funeral. Everyone shows up. Apparently they He's got a little off the hook. This may sound depressing, but I'm told this show is really find a watch. I'm sorry, did you see a little off the hook? Yeah! That's that's all! That's always kid say it sounds like it could be depressing, but then it's off the hook. Now, although I used to correct ok yeah, so maybe you're in Kronk village. Why I'm quite content- and I use that equally, I re, worried, I don't throw a hazy over. There are losing oh, my guide, everything's gonna, be ok, that's the name of the show.

Out of here. I just turned eighty mecca: premiers January, sixteen thirty, eight thirty, seven, thirty central on free form, that's right watch all my entertainment free form check it out. And we're back, but you enjoy the brake. Yes, I loved it. I thought we got to know each other, a lot better, develop rails May I ask you something about how I talk about England and I grew up just adoring, british comedy, especially when when money Python hit was very young and it hit me later a corset it it hit in the states afterwards my friends and I and anyone who is interested comedy. We just thought These guys are light years ahead of anything we ve managed to do in the United States. Anything that existed on television, then these was kept coming back. Gallagher the young ones, just these shells

kept hitting us and I kept thinking. Yeah Britain is just or ass, a comedy and that's how I felt in the seventies and eighties, into the ninety, I just thought you're so far ahead of us and then I would meet bridge people! Finally, when I was getting a tell holding- somebody here in Amerika and I would pay. Ass, all of this admiration and maybe yeah. That's that's so but you guys have an unless these shows that I thought were very pedestrian, and I understand. I thought They're almost seems like what is it about and with its particular to England. But If I say I love the Beatles, you say you guys say you got over eight years ago and you find it all boring and if I say you praise anything in England mean I'm a history fan and I'll idolize Winston Churchill. I talked

so many british people like fuck that extra economic. What are you talking about? You hear Hickey heave he's up to Hitler and you guys are like but in the thirties he was ass. High labour was ok, maybe he was young and afterwards user, but of an Irish where he was a very good wartime. Prime Minister, he was the idea having him as Prime Minister in a time of peace was problematic. Yes, I will go into the weeds on this one. If we want, I don't think we should cause. We just lost a ton of listeners remit. The minute I brought up histories bite. During the comedy it does feel like people are always looking across the pond either us it. You were you at us and not appreciating what they have done in England understand how good your stuff is. Are they understand? I think I think we have a good of how good our best stuff was, but you kind of heads the it was

curated like that you got the cream icy yeah. So we got Benny Hill, you daddy we have already got him very much. That was, he was very much an american phenomenon yeah that popular in England. But yes, Oh, you got the kind of the best, I think would normally as a british post when was I all while british companies, the best thing you want to watch the other ninety percent of the ship, with reducing them, because it's very bad and then also there's just that sense of something that's unfamiliar, become so much more impressive to you, so latin I recently showed us, oh get around that same time, you're saying all wealth by our group. Larry Saunders Show was kind of mine. Blowing tells us is TAT, yeah and imagine something done on this scale, this well yeah. That was appreciated here. I think something, It's been really special and plays into what you're doing now here in Amerika. I think there is a tradition in England, I think a fault

towers where you make as many are good and then you stop here now american system if some catches at all here, immediately, you're, told make way too Many of these four wait too long until there got any more and then do it for another nine years and we have to grind as much as we can out of it and I think that one of the things that I was blooming away. As there were very few Monty Python. He has very few black adders are very few mean I love Island Partridge. I just, I think so, hooligans agonizing crowbar, I'm that carriage was gonna agent with him was yes, yes and I, when I when I, when he comes out with a new series of four five Alan partridges. I will treasure them like. I met a man whose

dying of hunger, and I just have a few Emma names and I will just treasure each one- and I think he's brilliant, obviously, but they're not he's not cranking out seventy five a year, and I think what when the United States, because of cable specially you sure situation! Hbo is you don't know to do this every night and make hundred and thirty, five or here fifty a year, and there is no getting around the fact that you can put the kind of you you have time to go craft these things and make something worthwhile. As those two. Let's just squeeze as much of this out to the market with you near that what was that

I was still that was most vows MAC, Dolly Stomach, throttling mad goarly, who there's no way the microphone did not with loud. I so can I just say something: your job is yours to assist. You flew out from LOS Angeles to help me I'm here having where I think, and I hate to rate myself, but I think this is a David Frost level compensated, whereas I world ethos conversational, unless cumbersome between to add myself in here to monumental figures at a time when I'm going one older and more venerated and one on the way up, still proving himself and then there's that there's a hideous noise trying to hear these well used idiocy is the perfect work that they have. It is my stomach just applauding what tat? No! No! That's it. That's my view. Your attempt to show you was audibly hungry to an interrupted degree. He won't eat us. You know its money,

it costs money and that money that come out of my pocket. I understand now you were plays horrifying anyway. Thank my train of thought is over, I think, come. I think that the two things yeah on that and these, but is backing away from the microphone. Nice do yeah, but are still here from across the EU, and I love it he's wearing a headset, but I want to see him stretched out the door and any shut the doors for it is tat. I was happening prior to that. No, I think I hear another thing is I'm feeling it would shake my by Roger that that want shook the type Jurassic Park see here you can see. We both have coffee cups and we saw a little. We saw the little ripples in the coffee cup get bigger and bigger and bigger, and then the t Rex came out of your efforts and my purely must feed

I'm sorry very rude Ellen. I think it's so in a way, it's easier to make the what can look like a principle decision of just doing less shows just because it's the economy, gale written so there's no gigantic company, saying hey flee back We give you twenty million dollars for another ten may should we need me. Another would be realistically flee bag were also going to spin off Roma. Her sister, her sister, has a show called, its she bag. You know and then and then I'll be careful about that's just about pitch. It could take on their place. Trust me, I just sounded Amazon deal. I daresay you someone say I heard about this. She bag exactly I like, and then the priest characterise you now he's like a wholly Molly and that's a show, and

she's. We know you're gonna get together, they gotta get together a hook up, but then they gonna fight and not get together, but then get together again cannot fox balk at the end. He talk him Sassy Fox, listen, I first boyfriend your american exit variant, always say. If we're both going to deny. I can do this to you where, where where we actually we were lucky, we had a little bit of and experiences of this conference with HBO, because it order I can see and we were supposed to thirty five a year and we realise that the kind of show that we wanted to make we couldn't make at thirty. Four. Josie all week it we could and we could do five very bad jobs here in that so we'd had it slightly He conversations with HBO Saint. We need to do five left shows, but we have to work the same amount of time like them all better. We wanted but we will we would like, is to make fewer, but give us the same amount of money is so you can

Imagine how the started that conversation went but look to that credit they came around like. I think we reason with them to say this. I promise this thing. The average is going to it and get back to, average show will. So you were talking more sustainable. You were talking to executives about the quality gestures, anger poor poor girl this about this all the wrong way of. Yes, you aren't will first of all, we point out. Anyone who doesn't know they said yes, John would John would be delighted to be on the progress report, the exact words, but I'm assuming your delighted ass. They said and then get your infinite, your cautiously optimistic, but they say yes, he can do it meet him at his office at eight o clock in the morning I have flown informality so your eight o clock in the morning is my five o clock. In the morning, I I just wait a minute.

Clock in the morning he's in the office at eight o clock in the more here. No, no, no, no you listen you're going about this all right, you're going I cut my teeth at CERN at life, where we were taught you supposed to come in rule in the afternoon bright. Don't you Start! Writing till o clock at night and then deprived of sleep and right battle. For two days and I don't know it's worked so well for us. I don't know why what you're doing here with your let's roll up our sleeves and get in there at eight? This is This is the only way we know how to make this without getting into trouble right. That's the problem. We can you so many legal swings here. It feels like if we get one wrong. It's all over yeah it'll be a death by cop situation. So that's Saturday.

Step out of the car satirist, whether he keen eyed ache. What's off children, american culture, step out of the car and get on you know where I can see him he's got, equip he's, got, equip Damn man that mean he's reaching for a reference yeah, I swear when I shot him. He had a reference yeah. I very much agree that you're able to do what you do because tv changed and it now possible and you you ve proven s. By limiting the number of shows you do no, you ve had a great impact on our culture and you ve been a terrific In addition, an inspiration to a lot of people and you're you're, not

Overdoing it you're not making too many you're making, as many as you can do, really is not the key word, the maximum number that we can do whilst doing a show like this, we can't. We could do more shows what they could all be like this, and we kind of want them to be like this, because they're all like many troops sessions that yeah does it ever feel overwhelming ready ever have these sort of moments? spare where you think I do. I keep this Steinem will that is really long term. I dont know, like I watched John Stewart closely Laredo towards the end where he was getting too. I'm lucky. I am to be able to devote myself this completely to one thing and obsess over it. How sustainable that is really long term. I dont know like I watch John Stewart closely united towards the end where he was getting tired to his right, and so I remember thinking I don't wanna be. This is at the end yet so it at its heart

to say they said that the like, how does they send probably s h, a r e luxury problem when they like that sense of running downhill? I'm thinking wait when it feels like there's momentum is taking over from yes what your own body terrible action yeah, really bad dreadful, read that doesn't not even sure that kind of making weird and motion with your fingers like a rolling s, yellow scratch that is basically journal, we're gonna we're going to ruin or run out on a loop. Yes, I don't I stayed I dont Know- is probably go honest answer that yeah now you don't know the gear meant to now what about you I came to conclusion that I'm a different, and, as I get older, I'm not I used to say you could prob please shoot me through the heart

before a show- and I will still go out and do that show a crazed kind of. I was on some mission to do something and I think I've mellowed and but the correct word is: I have more perspective now. I still like to make things, but I for example, a few Somebody told me two years ago that one of the great joys of my career would be in a sense, doing a radio show on the sidewalk with people I admire out of said really after the tv show- and I would say even yeah, you just do the work and then later let's get sorted out by somebody or it doesn't none of it matters yeah. I think This'Ll also, for me, though, be that the moments of liking, tents, joy, lucky face still feel like utterly joyous. That feels like that job still ass its capacity

surprise. Yes give me your intense pleasure. I think if I'm ever standing next to a six hundred square foot Kagan feel nothing probably time to stop right or just switch to a different profits at a pie. That's frontier as interpreted joke a massive Clare. I mean what I'm saying is escrow, though, that you switch out ass. If a clear is funny year on this, so much cream inside you're out, you can modulator Julia Theirs the point is you know you know it's funny, because I know that you're a python fanatic and you you are a Cambridge Footlights, yes person which have always thought was just a legendary yeah. That's what yet started, not all of them know all of them, but to put yet a few of them and yet so I started at college is myself and a Google

the joy body we were in the same in he said now a brighter and director and comedian and yet it was there that I kind of truly fell in love with comedy the original doing our first, we did like it to two men show that we wrote and performed ourselves and off after coming off the first night thinking. This is definitely one I want to do with my life time, whatever the outcome of that is. If the outcome of this is really sad and it's amazing how much focus that gives you with? Well, it's a gift right. This is it. This is definitely it raising feeling those and as a real gift to get that sense of purpose and direction at that age at that young age, because it if simplifies all the choice, if you think we'll everything, I'm gonna put everything towards doing tat. Yes, I worked so much harder at comedy university than I did my degree because it was It was the thing. I knew that this was everything to me. I remember there was some.

To the real chagrin of my teachers. Among those Jonathan. Maybe I think it was at am who was in beyond the fringe his at those it achieved a heat. Had he studied Medicine Oxford? I who died too to his dying day. This juice was disgusted with Jonathan Miller sank. He could have been a great doctor. This is a total misuse of his time. And I couldn't of identified without less what are you talking about? He did beyond the fringe. There's lots of good doctors a raft indeed beyond the fringe right right. We good comics are always very you know where supply and I think for my money. There way too many doctors has plenty of them, may now mean and peep most things get better on their own and you leave them alone. That's right! Just let Norman saved in autumn and they'll go away. Exactly most doctors are of little use, and if there is anyone takes anything this conversation with John onwards, that food should be wasted. Guest her comedic purposes,

Doctors are really not necessary, high stakes, guesswork, yeah Those british comedy is very bad. We just don't us alive. That's right! We only get the one percent its good. We ve kept the chaff away from you. Yes, the beautiful wheats right you guys, invented love, island. Didn't you didn't you invent love, ivory dates that was like you created the herpes via. That was our idea that was already, and then you and now there is come to America. Yes, a bunch of people hooking up. Is it doing well in Amerika? I don't think it's nice, I am told it in England literally your economy broke down because All anyone did all the time was. Watch love idea because I think there is, I think, there's a reason why just won't work in the same way here in that in Britain there is like a cultural understanding. You take a group of maniacs and you put the send them to spite british people. Don't have like they're, not beach, today's? Yes in England, so you go somewhere else.

If you lose your mind, oh yes, we exist so that its there, there is. There is something that doesn't quite work here. I think it's not me. I think there are happening Rios Montt there having real sex. I have. I have real sex to a fault. Yes, yes, I've done. That is the only way I know how to assets. So yes, so I mean that's the point is that you and I are in the wrong television. You and I are making the wrong kind of television rights, You have the floor on a beach. Now I would be able to build a beach with strangers prisoner there's only one thing I would like to do less than appear on love, Ireland. You missing the point, John we're not on the show. Oh, I would be in a beekeepers, outfit protected and I would be in a big tent in the beekeepers. Outfit and I'd be peering through a slit, and I would be a prophet participant, as would you I see in this scenario,

people would be hooking up, left and right, you and I would get to watch the rough at it as from a perversion, and then we would be profit participants instead of what what are you doing here? Still less phantom, occasionally they'd be a giant cake. I think there's any voice so little of honour, because I think there is too much of it. I understand, and it makes me sad, is the same reason. What I cannot wash the great british baking show. It makes me so tense why because you love that show. I know all Americans say always just so: relaxing it's so calm and if tomato White knuckle right through british people's anxiety

It's not that there are. You have to understand calendar so repress their all on the edge of breaking down. It's not about the cake. It's never about. The case I want to plant at Johns. Crying here is right. Objects. I cannot watch. It makes me so tense because you are picking up on all of the reports and all of them solely as a false cheer. What's Mary bury she's always biting into what does she looks like a map it by away ass, rising up our strange puppet and she's always biting into a tart going Luke you? So you ve only made these three times before. Don't do it? Don't you ve only maybe three times report: don't do it now. It's not gonna work! Nothing works! You know that you know their learning ever works out on a sink guards on the british baking show they always come by and they ask the person what they're doing that part- and I think, would probably make you crazy because it has even I think up on the tension- s they come by and they'll say, like

so well what you are doing. Well, I'm making it, but I'm making a cake, but instead of flour, I'm gonna use figs and the person look at him and go. I've used no use figs now use thanks before you know it. I know always say Oh, I just thought I'd try it and they always give a little scepticism liked. Well I mean flower is really how most cakes Romania be like what I think I'm gonna go it's figs and then you know do it here dad reaching for a life. You can't have yes just stick to what you know. The british class system is basically a rights that we can all just live in Europe, no about cakes that that thing is just. I ate incredibly distressing for me to watch that have never made it through a whole episode. Have you ever tried to combined love, Ireland with the baking show You know it means that it is a tent, people are cooking things, but therein songs and then they few both make the best cake you hook up. What you do

on a giant pastry. What is new in reality, if I'm making a clay lies in an hour, she won't do. We ve told we firstly and well wasted ways you might have. This has been really fun. Thank you for doing this and leisure. I still swear to God, you're here at the office way too early. No denying that I think your work ethic is destroying your show and, and you ve got it all wrong, so

I've done nothing! I, like you sense, I'm gonna go office here. Take it from me the guy on any escalator, rapidly headed basement level. Conan was here, oh really see so on tv wow, it's sort of radio. Now, anyway, he gave me advice, but John you're doing really wow Conan said this is what you then. I saw Conan rush out and get into an goober and he was driving anyway and absolute delight. Thank you for for doing this and you oh cheerio, I suppose curio to you, colonel. I just became Dick mandate in Europe up ass, I apologize Jim Germany. You know we're already well decision to run our way and I realize we haven't check in with one another see what we ve done

you know why we sort of when our separate ways. Like going on in our lives, so now you're trying to buy a house with your husband. I am an you gotta make haste cause I low, bald house. The other day you find he found a house it both you and your husband love, yes, which is impossible, and you can afford it and you listen to your brother, whose lay a financial adviser of financial adviser and use so low, bald that the person isn't returning you're off and I talk to you. I think you Indeed, he didn't Take that lays down his name like that, I'm trying to say at the way and Armenian would sit down you isn't it Danny is no daily, is a financial adviser. He owns properties through

LOS Angeles. He knows what he's talking about and you know the house has been on the market for a month a month here, so you decide to humiliate, be reading. Humiliate you went in and offered the offer was three chickens and a box of oranges. We and, I think, just insulting when it gets terrible, he offered in money, and he apparently he's a very nice man, but he was very angry is Yasser agents he's a nice man and his angry because you insulted him. It was very- and this is the house where you wanna like raised children. I know it. So what were you doing? What are you doing one hour in a tough spot like? Do we go back and we're like? Oh no, we meant this much, but then we lose all our leverage. No you don't you just say we see we faxed it over and the fax machine dropped one of zero. That's not how things are

any now now, you're gonna tell me there aren't fax machines, I mean there are, but no one uses unbolt right. Ok, how do they communicate wiseguy? When was the last time you fat, Stepney Thick, let's see, I was watching silver spoons and I was upset with the quality of the episode remembered faxing, the head of the of the network. You know what I, u, the their day printed, something from your laptop and it has the fur. It was the first time in the ten years that I've worked for you, where you have printed something from your computer to the printer and then he went to the printer, picked up all the papers that were in it and then throw away all the ones that were in his present, all my god. They didn't concern that. Allow you to a t, baiting concern me, so I threw them away. When I hear soda saying where's my, what was it you are that missing it doesn't matter no no, what was it

They were missing you pseudo coup print out for data lies the guy. With with my guide, you? U flipped out, you act like a special papers. We need for the functioning of this programme. No, it was your pseudo coup. That's why you realize that it is the point not appointed a point. Is you do Sadova at work all day, and so I threw a pseudo coup print another one. You know no proper printer etiquette end. It upsets me that you don't know. Next time is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go to the Brenner and they take out the thing that I printed out and if there are any papers, there are going to open a can of dainty. More can still she sent for at all over those papers and the printer. What did you print up? Glad you at all? No, I printed

out the lyrics to a really sad country, song, so bother. You are working hard and guess what I'm here and now and then I printed out the lyrics like it now. If you really want me to say it right now, I didn't ask for that, but it sounds like it's. Gonna have an enemy happy in the city at night. Camp the stars for the neon lie right side. Dirty in the rivers, worse, hundreds trains over in reverse the sauna. Did you hear me playing it on the guitar? You ve played like twenty times in the last few days, trying to learn it yeah and how does it sound it? You know why it sounds really do you're, really great guitar player. Thank you. That's a genuine compliment, and what about the singing, singing is nice. I know I know I know

not. You know what it's not. I think you have dreams of being a singer songwriter and I think if you went to a little bar and you took out your guitar and you saying people would listen to it, there's a problem. If I go to a bar and I open up a guitar case or something people just going to start shiting themselves, because he brought a disease. It does. I showed up in a public space. You don't walk around with me goarly so you ve been with me when I go places. If something like a flash, my have we went to the movies. Its is right. We did go to the movies, whereas nobody here actually not exactly. There was peed on it was a complete, ran out of the movie theater, except for comedian, PETE Arms, hilarious, and then we sat right next to him and his wife, even though nobody else was in the end. You also word like texting and taking video during a movie like, which is a big yeah,

that's another etiquette, probably bright shining phone, you are you have the floor. Taking video of the movie in an article, I know what I did was turns out and I thought kind of cool, I'm watching the movie- and I'm not gonna name names here, but were watching this very popular movie and someone in the movie calling me at that moment to try and see one we're gonna get together to have dinner, and I thought it was really funny that person was calling me while their scene was up in the movie, so I quickly said I'm busy and then took a picture of their face on the screen. I thought that was kind of a cool thing, so I went they're taking video of the movie. I took one quick, discreet shot and I sold in China becomes a hundred thousand dollars. You jerk, capable of terrible things. I'm sure I'm an angel, you are thank you. We don't
