Jim Jefferies - Pioneer of the "C" Word

25:35That was a legitimate use of the word from a story I was told. Yeah, that's an historical use of the C word. Do you see Margot Robbie at Icebergs a lot? Margot Robbie? What's Icebergs? Oh, Icebergs is a restaurant in Bondi. Do you know about Icebergs? Jeez, you have trouble. Look at me. Look out, Dana. Look at me. Where's Bondi? Bondi Beach is a populous beach that's close to the city centre in Sydney, right? Okay. And sort of – it's where all the British people get sunburnt and skin cancer over Christmas. But there's a restaurant there that overlooks like a public pool. The public pool has ocean water that pours into it, which is kind of interesting.

26:15It's a fancy restaurant. I've never met Margot Robbie. I'm a fan. I once was the other guest on Kimmel when Margot Robbie was on Kimmel. You know how you're a guest on those shows, you never meet the other guests? Yeah, you have to make a point of it because they're somewhere else. You don't even know where they are. Yeah, they're in a different dressing room, and then you come on, then you leave, or they've already left, and you're the second guest, and then they're already in their car. They're gone, right? So I've been on episodes of those shows. Bill Clinton was on one, never met him. You know, these different people.

26:48but Margot Robbie was the other guest and so her dressing room was next to mine and I just sort of lingered in the hallway just like acting like I was looking for something just I'm Australian I have an in you know I could have gone hey you know how to linger you can linger she would have accepted me saying the c-word in front of her it would have been music to her ears I'm a local don't you hate all these Americans here that's what I said exactly I would have said something Something like that. But I tell you what, you've got to give it up. The Margot Robbie, flying the Australian flag, is there a better person on it?

27:22If the aliens came down and they said, give us your two best, not just looking, just your best human beings, and we gave them Hugh Jackman and Margot Robbie, come on now. You can't get better than those two. That's true. Let's see. I'll see you, Hugh Jackman and Margot Robbie, and raise you Jennifer Aniston and Russell Crowe. David, Russell Crowe, is he saying Australian versus America? We're saying the two best humans. The two best humans we give to the aliens to represent us, to go, this is what we've got. Okay, first of all, Russell can't bloody dance and tap dance and stuff. He's not a triple threat.

28:03That's true. He's a triple threat, that huge advocate. But he can sing. That guy can sing. Your buddy Brad Pitt will throw him in. Yeah, Brad's brilliant. Yeah, of course. You were talking about Brad off the air about how, what is he, 61 or something like that? Mm-hmm. And he still looks amazing. Like the fact that we have a 61-year-old, and I haven't seen the movie, that we are going to drive a Formula One car and go, yep, that seems about right. Yeah. When they're forced to retire at like 30. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He should have a bloody special pass for the bus, Brad Pitt, at his age, and he's going to be driving a Formula One car.

28:40Sure. and Brad ending in Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible. I saw Mission Impossible. Yeah, I got to co-sign that movie. It's brilliant. Tom Cruise. I haven't seen the new one yet. Was he in the submarine for too long? Oh, it's the greatest movie ever. And then you're like, well, no, I just see it. Definitely see it. Yeah, it's very cool. You know, you don't want to overblow something. But as far as that, like, you know, these people, they don't they take care of themselves. We were talking about that before the podcast. The old time actors, it was booze and cigarettes and they died around 60. so for you like used to one of your early specials but we just said we just said brad pitt was a smoker and russell is a smoker and then people they're still smoking they've got some special they're getting blood put into you're like the audience correcting us like well that's true but recovery you know so i was gonna because one of your early specials really made me laugh the only one i ever saw do this a little bit was ricky gervais but during the special i don't know if it's kind of like a set you would wander around and all of a sudden from behind something you'd pick up another pint of beer yeah and i don't know how many beers you did throughout the special well that's something i've never seen i know you stopped drinking but do you look at those days as any kind of funniness or because to me it really got my attention like when's the next time he's gonna grab a magic beer okay so i didn't know that was gonna be a joke and i only ever did that for the special.

30:02I never did that for my normal shows. I normally used to have my beers just on top of the box when I'm performing, just ready to grab. But because with a special, and I don't know if I'm doing some inside baseball stuff here, mostly we record two shows that night, edit it together, or just show the best one, right? And so they edited in every pint I had over two shows, so it did look like I had seven pints in one hour. Oh, okay. So I can't take credit. I did not have seven pints in one hour. Now, the reason that they were behind the box was for congenuity because the level of the liquid being going up and down and I'd be leaving empty glasses everywhere else.

30:46So just before I went out, they lined up for each show four pints of lager behind the thing. Now, back in the day, people used to go on about what a great drinker I was. I actually was a really bad drinker. um i i would get drunk very very quickly it just so happened in those first two specials i was also on cocaine but if they asked but that's the reason that was propping me up right and i i regret doing that in my life and i you know if my child is watching this podcast many years later i was an idiot but that was why i could drink so i gave that i gave up all drugs when my son was born I never took drugs again.

31:27He's 12 now. And I never took drugs again. But I continued drinking, and everyone just thought I was a bad drinker. Everyone thought I was getting out of control. I was actually in recovery. So when you say like two lagers, like two pints, then you were sort of drunk? I mean like slurring? I started slurring after three pints now. Okay. Yeah, yeah. And so then I did some specials and I was just a dribbling mess in all the specials. And so then my wife gets pregnant with my last child who's about to turn four and I haven't had a drink since then. And I don't miss it at all anymore, not at all. I don't miss any of it.

32:10Don't miss cigarettes, don't miss alcohol, don't miss drugs. I regret doing all of them really. I feel a lot better. Well, I was noticing that you look younger than the last time I saw you basically. I mean, you look really good. I'm not sweating as much as I used to. I mean, yeah, you're shrunken it down. You're more of a, you know, so. I've never seen you messy, though. I think when I see you, it's maybe a more professional setting, but I've never seen you messy. Well, yeah, well, not anymore anyway, but yeah, no, I just sort of knocked it on the head. The cigarettes was the hardest one. That's the hardest one to quit out of the lot is the cigarettes, and I think that's the, I read there was a book, Alan Carr, Stop Smoking, The secret to giving up cigarettes is this, is you stop envying people who are smoking.

32:55It used to be you'd give up cigarettes for a while, and every time I'd see a cigarette, I'd go, oh, geez, I wish I could have a cigarette. You've got to start looking at them like they're slaves to nicotine and that you're free. That's the only way. There's my motivational talk for the day. Oh, that's good. Hey, I have another Kirk Douglas. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but this totally fits. This fits better than the last one. The last one was good. It was good. That fucking muscly cunt Kirk Douglas. I did a movie with Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster. So Kirk Douglas told me his dad was a chain smoker and then he quit.

33:25And I said, well, how did you do it? So his dad took a cigarette, put it in his pocket. And anytime he wanted a cigarette and he was Russian, he would pull it out and go, who is stronger, me or you? Me. He was so competitive that that just stopped it. Who is stronger, me or you? Get back in pocket, cigarette. I am strong, man. You are a fucking little rolled up nicotine whore. And that was the quote. I'm just quoting Kirk Douglas. I'm just quoting Kirk Douglas. I was a nicotine whore back in the day, whoring myself to nicotine. Has it influenced your comedy at all, like your stand-up writing, just being completely off everything?

34:07Because the specials you're talking about were really well-received. And the last few haven't been as well-received. Once you've gotten sober, I said. Look, look, Sergeant Peppers was arguably the Beatles' best album, right? It was nonsensical rubbish, right? That was all on acid and stuff, yeah. Yeah, I don't listen to the whole Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. It was a painting, you know. Julian gave me a painting. I'm doing more Paul there, but you know what I mean. You sat down for a plonk, you know. Is that how you did it? We would plonk, John, and I would look at each other sort of like a mirror.

34:42I'm just quoting him now. So, but yeah, but I love Paul. Were you an opera singer, Jim, before you get a chance to answer anything? Okay, so this is a thing that always is brought up in my life. Yeah, I love it. Is it a fake one? No, no, it's true. It's true. Okay, so I did school musicals because that was how you met girls, right? If you're not athletic, you go and do a school musical, join the drama club or whatever. that's my theory on why actors are so short right i think it's because they couldn't play sport at a high level so they joined the drama club it's all about meeting girls right so i think yeah that's my theory anyway because um so so i i went and did uh musical theater at at um school and then there was literally like a talent scout came to one of the shows and said he could be a tenor and we don't have many tall tenors and that's a really like a hard thing in the opera company and so they they sent me off to singing lessons with this guy called richard gill who was the head of the chorus master in australia i sound like an old person talking about relatives you've never met and i studied for a while and then when i was 17 i was put in the australian opera in the chorus uh for one production of the flying dutchman which was Wagner and so I was just like like I was literally singing in German didn't know a fucking word of what I was saying I would just buy it in German holy shit well I was just buying a CD and just mimicking the German you know what I mean and then um you know they teach us the songs but I didn't know what the songs were about or anything so after that I went and studied at WAPA and WAPA is the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts which is where Hugh Jackman studied which They had a full scholarship ride to study musical theater.

36:36By the time I was two years into that, I was already being paid to be a stand-up comic. And I just quit it in the middle of the night and just went off on tour. But I always wanted to be a stand-up comic. But I thought, you can't study that at university. I wanted to study something in the performing arts. And so I studied musical theater. And I would like to – I can't sing anymore because cigarettes and yelling on stage. And I've had polyps and nodules. Nodules. nodules I've done I've had the surgery and all that you can hear me voice is pretty raspy now but I could sing as a and it's weird because everyone always goes sing us a song when they find out you're an opera singer and it's like you wouldn't have gone up to Pele when he was like hadn't played soccer for 50 years and gone go on do a bit of keepy-uppy let's see a bicycle kid Yeah.

37:25It's a muscle I haven't really worked, but I did do that. I still have fondness for musical theater. I still go and see any production that comes to LA. I have two follow-up questions. Okay. One, did that Garner-y puss because you went through a lot. Is that a new phrase? Garner a puss. Okay. I will say this to any young heterosexual man who can sing a little bit. right? Yeah. If you go to university where they auditioned thousands of people to get like 30 kids, it was like going to fame. And half of the class is male and half the class is female. Those girls have been doing dance lessons since they were bloody kids, right?

38:10Singing lessons, acting lessons, all that type of stuff, right? All the boys have been doing the same. The 30 kids in my year at university, I think out of the 15 boys, 10 of them were gay. and that just, the numbers don't lie. That's too good. It tilts your way, for sure. I'll tell you what, it worked a lot better than being a comedian saying the word cunt all the time. Yeah. It didn't bring as many women in as you think. You know, you could name your next special. Only a certain kind of woman likes that kind of talk. Yeah, they were fun girls who did like me, but they didn't come in their masses.

38:47Yeah.

38:51Okay, here's your special, Jim. Ready? This is a new name. Here we go. Tall Tenor. Tall Tenor. I'm calling it my new special. It hasn't come out yet. It's called Two Limb Policy is the name of the special. Two Limb, like L-I-M-B? Two Limb Policy? Because I have, and I talk about this on the special, but because I did that sitcom with the disabled people, a lot of disabled people come to my show. I have a meet and greet after the show. So I always let the disabled people join the meet and greet. I take photos with all the different people with disabilities. But I can't, like someone wrote to me and said, hey, I'm bringing my uncle to your show.

39:29He's disabled. Can we come backstage and meet you? And you can't write back how disabled. Right. And you can't ask for a photo, right? But we have to have some parameters. I just can't have a lineup of people with fucking dyslexia bothering me. So I have a two limb policy. You have to be missing two limbs or they have to be doing nothing. And if you have two limbs that are fucked up, you're lucky enough to have a photo with me. Take a picture of this cunt. You're allowed to come backstage and meet this cunt if you're missing two limbs.

40:04Okay. That's good. I have a question also from the audience. At some point, we've got to get to your show because we know. Oh, the show is Go ahead, Dana You're on a little press tour for your show Sure, we can't forget the show The Snake I saw your billboard Hogging fucking Sunset Boulevard I'm not on the billboard That's how confident I am No, that was an executive decision What? David, what was your Fox show With Snake in the title last year? Oh, Snake Oil Snake Oil This is called The Snake His was called Snake Oil What channel? We're part of the Snake family Fox Fox Oh, it is the same billboard Yeah, it was by the Chateau Marmont.

40:44Yeah, yeah. So we snake it up, yeah. The Snake is a reality show that's similar to Big Brother or Survivor or Fear Factor. It's got elements of those three shows. So it's good-looking people living in a house in the jungle doing tasks where they have to eat gross food. But what the secret sauce in the show is instead of like an elimination ceremony or where people get voted off anonymously, what happens is the person who wins the task gets to become the snake they get the coveted snake medallion and then if they get the snake medallion they get to save the first person and the person who gets saved gets to save one person the person who gets saves gets to save another person it snakes down the chain uh setting up a chain reaction so you don't have to have a majority rule uh to like you in the show you just need to make really one or two friends that will keep saving you but you can't repay the favor so if someone saves you you've got to save another person.

41:41So like you get a lot of skullduggery, you get a lot of – Skullduggery. There's not enough skullduggery out there. Yeah. I tell you, I was explaining this show the other day on some good morning something and I said the word skullduggery because that's what I always think about the show. And you know what skullduggery means, like pirates and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Old English term. Skullduggery. Yeah. Skullduggery. And the lady went, so if you want to watch The Snake, there's a lot of skull buggery. Buggery is the English legal term for anal sex, right? Yeah, I saw that on the Churchill movie.

42:19Oh, you bugger. Remember that? Yeah. Exactly, yeah. The word buggery is like the legal term. The buggery happened, blah, blah, blah. And so she just said on morning TV, come and watch some skull buggery. And I think it got through. I don't think anyone noticed. Look at everyone tunes in for that. Could I, just for a second. that look that's good that's a winner so just for a second going back because i kind of spaced out for a second so you're in you're in argentina in a jungle where is everybody what are they wearing and who are they okay so when i i i set out the start of the show episode one i'm standing on a crate and there's all these crates around me which was meant to be like the crates you'd bring reptiles in you know what i mean yeah i said come out of your crates you know i've got an earpiece and I don't quite know who's who.

43:04And they opened the crates up and fair dinkum, man, we had like a priest with a collar on. We had a clothed with a bulletproof vest. We had a rodeo rider with the chaps and spurs and all that type of stuff. It's like the village people. Yeah, exactly. And we had – I've got a village people story to tell you in a second. Okay. So we had an OnlyFans model, right? I thought, you know that Jury Duty? Yeah. Or the Joe Schmoe Show? I thought I was the only real person and they were all actors for like the longest time. They were tricking you? They were tricking me. You were doing? Okay. I was the mark.

43:50I thought I was the mark. It's a good idea, actually. It's not a bad idea for a show, right? And I'm like, what the fuck? And you're in the middle of nowhere. Because first of all, who employs me to be a game show host? Like it's already weird. And so all these people go. And so right up until the show aired, I wasn't completely sure. But I'll tell you my village people's story. So I do another podcast with a comedian called Amos Gil, another Australian comic. 1 % Club. Yeah, I do the 1 % Club in Australia. But this podcast is called ATM. At this moment, it stands for. Different search on the internet.

44:27it anyway so lingo yeah lingo yeah oh yeah i forgot about the other one i gotta research that again yeah so anyway so i uh i was doing a joke about how trump has the ymca playing at all of these concerts at all of these benefits or rallies and everyone does the the dance and all that type of stuff right yeah and i said i said it's so funny that that that song is about having gay sex in the showers and now all these evangelical people are dancing and stuff to the song seems a little odd i got a cease and desist letter from the village people saying that i was going to be sued for defamation for saying that the village people music had gay overtones is it does it not it turned victor willis who's the cop i guess he was always at the front and he never turned around to notice the rest of them because he's married to a woman called Karen Willis.

45:27Before that he was married to Felicia, Mrs. Huxtable from the Cosby show. He was married to her back in. And you're not allowed to say that the Village People Music has gay overtones. What? Or they will sue. They will sue in the Navy. Well, we get sued now possibly. We could possibly sue now. I said, what about in the Navy and Macho Man? They're as gay as fuck Come on now Come on now Come on now Come on now There's a lyric in the Navy called We want more semen Like I'm all for a double ton But don't try to tell me I'm a moron I think they're just saying Come on guys Don't I mean they haven't been outed to like three people so far It's a catchy freaking song man It is good I tell you what Because after that I started listening to their other musics it's banger after banger after banger.

46:22Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like for disco music, You Can't Stop the Music is a hell of a song. I mean, that's such a hook. Now, my son watching you in Wayne's World 2. 2? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he knows every step because he loves that movie so much. Did you do it in that? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were the construction worker, weren't you, in that? Yeah, I was dressed the construction worker. I think we're running away from the bad guy or something. Somehow we end up in this nightclub and Wayne and I are now doing YMCA with these people. Yeah. They're all doing the YMCA. And you're all spies. Like you were up a telegraph pole.

47:02Oh, that's right. And then you heard something. And then I think Wayne was like a cop. And then somehow they found an Indian for no apparent reason. That's right. And all of a sudden it comes together. And then all of a sudden it was a little bit like, what's that? Police Academy. And they ended up in the Blue Oyster. It was a little bit of that. They ended up in the wrong nightclub and then they do it. But that's the dance because you guys all did it and then you actually did the thing. I always say like if the village people actually do get me, if I get my day in court and I am being sued by the village people, I'm going to go not guilty.

47:37Act it out. Is there any character left? I mean, they've got the construction worker, the Indian. I mean, maybe you come as other costume. I don't know. I just come as Cockroach Dundee just off the side. What is your son's name that loves that movie? Hank. Hank. Hey, Hank, this is Garth. I got a different haircut, but thanks for watching. When we end the podcast, can he come up and say hello very quickly? He's downstairs playing video games. You know, normally Jim, that would be fine. Is he camera shy? Just bring him up. We have to whisk Dana off. Will he come on or you want to do it off camera?

48:11He's also a big Joe Dirt fan. Okay, bring him on, bring him on, bring him on. Let's compare box office Joe Dirt was my first Australian trip I went to Sydney Oh what you filmed it in Australia? No we had a premiere there It was the same It was a night after the premiere of Moulin Rouge And I went down there And I went to a concert And they sat me next to Baz Luhrmann All this great Australian stuff He still flies the flag I always argue that things like I guess Moulin Rouge is an Australian film. Australian actress, Australian director, filmed in Australia. Kylie Minogue plays the Tinkerbell thing.

48:51It's an Australian movie as soon as Kylie's involved. Yeah, Kylie's after. Right. Kylie's out. Kylie, you can't speak ill of Kylie. No, no, I think she's great. I like her. I have great. Australians are great. I do like it. Go ahead, Dane. And then I have one last story. It's just weird sometimes. I was hosting Vegas Showcase for movies, and Baz Luhrmann was there, Moulin Rouge, and Nicole Kidman, so I was hanging out with them. It's just kind of weird, and you brought it up, and that's my whole story. It's no joke, nothing, other than I met them at the promotion of the thing. Well, I think it was Australian.

49:27This is a nicotine whore. Nicotine whore. It brings two of two nicotines whores. Who is stronger? Me or you. Sorry, whores. Sorry, go ahead. That was just for me. I'm a little punchy right now. I like back in the pocket. Jim, one last question. We're going to ask everyone again, so you can have one more shot. This is a story from a viewer that said, if this is not a funny story, we'll just take it out. I don't know if this is a funny story for you. That your father sat you down, you and your wife, to tell you something. I can tell you that off the air, but I can't tell it on the air. That feels good enough.

50:06My dad doesn't, yeah, I can tell you off the air. I can't tell it on the air. Sorry. Well, we have an after hours section. Because my dad doesn't know how to get onto YouTube or anything like that. But it will get back to him on this podcast. For sure. I didn't know what level of it was, but I apologize. It's 100 % true. It's 100 % true, that story. I don't know the story. That's why I'm waiting to hear. We're going to, yeah. Tell me after. We don't need the story, but just the tease is going to trend. Yeah, we like the team. Hey, man, it's all about clicks. So let me ask you a question. Before you bring Hank out, one more question for me.

50:44I'll tell you this. Okay, we can cut it out if you want. I can tell it to you right now if you want to actually hear it. No, I don't want it. I'm scared. I don't want it to accidentally get in. I'm scared somehow. No, we don't want to embarrass you. I just think that we don't know how this works. Alex Murray tell you about this story because he knows you win. Oh, okay, because me and David have the same manager. So that's what's happened there. Well, I'll tell you this about the Carvey family. my childhood family with five kids and Bud Carvey and all that stuff that went on. Throw away the key because no one will believe it.

51:16There's some things we leave off the podcast. Something better not share. Just know that it's a little wacky. Look, he's 84 this year. If I'm back on the podcast in a couple of years, I might be able to tell you. Okay. Yeah. Fair enough. Give it some time. 2027. We're going to hold you to that. all right thanks Jim we'll talk to you soon buddy really nice hanging out with you man thanks for having us lads I really appreciate it enjoyed it so it was kind of nice we just hung up with Jim yeah Jim Jeffries who's been around for a while he's really has I found him very affable funny likable interesting yeah I like you know I met him before I was giving him a uh shit about brad pitt because brad you know brad's a great guy he's he knows jim i think he went on his show in the old days jim and i used to work on the same lot i think when i was doing uh maybe lights out or something he was around so uh super cool dude and big and he travels he goes all over the world uh that sort of surprised me the places he goes and how much how much he can he can fill them up over there because who knows you just never know who knows you out there in the world it is kind of a thing yeah the international comedian who just can go all over i haven't done that you know i mean you're you did australia yeah maybe i didn't do stand-up though i just went there to do premieres i didn't oh okay yeah i wouldn't know i just it's scary to go over there because i would love to go but they said if you go the first time don't you just go a small theater just try to fill it up just to see if it works and then you go back now people know you do it etc well i like the idea when you said that you can just you can just drive around the uk yeah way better if you don't like getting in an af plane you drive around the uk so that's kind of cool i mean in scotland i have relatives there distant i have mcdonald on one side but it seems kind of cool maybe we should do a little tour there i also like that he has disabled people come back for a meet and greet that was kind of a cool thing i haven't heard before it's a good idea you know because his his stand-up at least in the old days i was gonna ask about his new stand-up but it was it was kind of rough and tumble and then juxtaposing that that he helps this disabled person and then he now he has a following backstage and does meet and greets i I mean, that was fascinating because it makes him, well, it just makes him extremely likable, of course, and human.

53:56That that is his meet and greet and the two limb thing. The dad can't have, you have to have more, at least two limbs not working. Yeah. I still like tall tenor as a name. That's a good name. Maybe not for the next one, but it's a good special name because it's so odd that he goes, they don't have many tall tenors. When do you hear about an opera singing? Oh, I'm the tallest tenor, yeah. ever going to see in your life my australian accent accent sucks right now i'll admit but i watched a show an australian show once with my wife and then i had it so fucking good fucking if anyone can get it you can i can't believe they can do americans so well australian is a very tough one too to do right we mentioned margot robbie in that conversation too and she also does a perfect american accent yeah i mean there's yeah you know when they came over here Because I went to a speech coach for some movie to do a New Hampshire accent.

54:52She was like, I said, when they come over, what do you do? She said, well, we say, are you from Brooklyn? Are you from Florida? Are you from Arizona? Are you from North Dakota? Like there's tiny differences all over. So it's not just American accent. They can have one bland one, but is it Southern? What kind of Southern? So there's so many ways to go with that. Yeah, it's like we'd be, Americans are enamored by certain accents. And of course, if you meet an Irishman, how are you going? You're sort of like, well, from those Irish movies. But I have Irish relatives who ended up in the Bronx in New York.

55:26And they'd seen all the Scorsese, De Niro films. And the first guy that talked to him, what are you two's doing today? What are you doing over here? They were like almost weeping with joy that they're talking to somebody who talks like this. Oh, it's really like that. To them, it was like amazing. If I had someone with a Liverpool accent, I'd be like, oh, wow. But they just love the exportation of the East Coast accent, all those mafia films. It's huge. We almost got that story out of them at the end, too. But I have a feeling it was a little rough on the edges. Yeah. I think the thing about Jim, he came to play.

56:04He was very funny, had a lot of energy. And at the end, he goes, was it all right that I talked too much? I thought that was kind of human because I know, please talk. We love a comedian coming on and here's a great story. You know, the Russell Crowe restaurant story and stuff. So very much enjoyable. Well, thanks for listening. As you know, Monday, we have another show. And if you have any questions for us, we want to hear from you fly on the wall at odyssey.com. So what are some subjects they can ask about, which is pretty much anything. Yeah. I mean, I would think, how are you feeling about interacting with AI?

56:44Do you feel it's a good thing or it's going to take over? Are you frightened of it? Do you own Bitcoin? These are questions they can ask us, right? And then we answer them. You ask. We're experts. We're experts in every field. Maybe I got this wrong. I just want to know their thoughts. No, no, you got it right. They can ask anything they want. We just say something. If you're thinking about marrying someone, man or woman, and you want to tell us the situation, if you have doubts, we will tell you whether to marry or not. We will maybe accidentally change your life with these questions or not. I'm not saying I have no ego about it, but feel free to ask us anything that's going on in your life.

57:25Or I guess, do we want to invite politics? Maybe. Anything. Religion, politics. We have foolproof answers for everything. Nothing's off limits and we do have the answer. David's nickname in real life, I'm just putting it out there, is the Oracle. When you need advice or a question about finance or life issues or anxiety and depression, how to defeat it, anything, the Oracle, a.k.a. David Spade.
