00:00
Take it as a compliment means you've got a soul.
00:02
I don't want a soul. I want money.
00:06
I'm not gonna slap my brother.
00:11
I just don't think when people are heading out for their night of laughs
00:14
that they want to strap in for an info session on Australia's problem with domestic violence, right?
00:19
It's a downer.
00:20
Yeah, I just really don't want to have to put in sex jokes into my political comedy.
00:25
I think it might be a bit reductive.
00:27
Yep, okay.
00:29
Well, where do you see yourself in five years?
00:31
Oh, I'd love to have a new satire type show.
00:34
You know, something that focuses on global female identifying political and social issues.
00:38
Yeah, okay.
00:39
Yeah.
00:40
That show? Never gonna exist in this country.
00:45
Why?
00:46
Well, defamation laws for one.
00:48
But doesn't that just like add to the relevance of the show?
00:51
Listen, as noble as it is, no one's gonna commission a show for an audience of like two.
00:56
Rachel, I really like you.
00:59
You're a decent person.
01:00
You're funny.
01:01
But I know how to read the market and I know how to sell comedians.
01:05
And if you're not willing to take on any of my advice, I just don't see a path for us to move forward.
01:10
Yeah.
01:11
Yeah, yeah.
01:12
Right.
01:13
Can I say one more thing?
01:14
And...
01:15
Yes.
01:16
Please.
01:17
I'm listening.
01:18
No, it's not my place.
01:19
No, please.
01:20
I'm listening.
01:21
Just go on antidepressants.
01:22
You won't care as much.
01:23
Rachel Wallace?
01:24
Yes.
01:25
Ben.
01:26
That's the name.
01:27
Um...
01:28
What?
01:29
Janice Riley, isn't it?
01:30
You were an agent?
01:31
No.
01:32
No.
01:33
No.
01:34
No.
01:35
No.
01:36
No.
01:37
No.
01:38
No.
01:39
No.
01:40
No.
01:41
No.
01:42
No.
01:43
No.
01:44
No.
01:45
No.
01:46
No.
01:47
No.
01:48
No.
01:49
No.
01:50
You were an agent?
01:51
No.
01:52
Oh, that's a shame.
01:53
I'm from Netflix.
01:54
And, uh, we just loved Rachel's show.
01:56
We won a commission.
01:57
It's absolute cracker.
01:58
Absolute chookers.
01:59
And, uh, you just missed out on 10%.
02:02
Okay.
02:03
Whatever, mate.
02:04
Bye-bye.
02:05
Fuck.
02:07
What the fuck?
02:08
Ah, it was worth a shot.
02:10
You know, she's an idiot if she doesn't want to sign you.
02:15
I'm 10K in debt.
02:16
I sunk 10,000 into this show.
02:23
She was meant to be a short thing.
02:32
Oh, my God.
02:33
Oh, my God.
02:35
Mom's still here?
02:36
Oh, no.
02:37
She left.
02:38
She said, well done.
02:39
Is mum still here?
02:50
Oh no, she left.
02:51
She said well done.
02:57
There's just some workmates out
02:59
and I thought you might want to join.
03:03
It'll be Expenster's Christmas dreams.
03:06
Yeah, of course.
03:09
It's good on you, Reg.
03:20
You know, for sticking your guns.
03:24
Nobody fucking does that.
03:30
And I can feel your break coming.
03:32
I know it.
03:33
And, um, I got some antidepressants for you.
03:47
What?
03:48
No, I chew my mouth apart, so...
04:00
Sorry.
04:12
Good thing when senseless looked out
04:15
On the face of steel
04:17
When the snow did round about
04:21
Deep and crisp and veer
04:23
Brightly shone the moon that night
04:27
No, the frost was cruel
04:29
When a poor man came in sight
04:33
Gathering winter blue
04:35
Hear the page and stand by me
04:41
If thou knowest it telling
04:44
Yonder peasant
04:46
Who is he?
04:47
Where and what his dwellings
04:51
I said that is what?
04:55
I think they're paying dividends.
04:56
Oh, there he is.
04:56
Hello.
04:57
Oh, shoot.
04:59
Hide the new chat, fellas.
05:00
Jermaine Greer's here to order us.
05:03
Shot?
05:03
Yes, please.
05:04
Covered in lube all over my arms.
05:06
Oh, Benny Libby.
05:07
Exactly.
05:07
Must be it's here in a full suit
05:09
Like an absolute spanner.
05:11
And superstar comedian, right?
05:13
Taking over the world, are you?
05:15
Absolutely not.
05:15
We were just discussing up
05:16
The poop and prostate checks.
05:18
But I've got a question for you, Rach.
05:20
Peg and the patriarchy
05:21
Does it backfire if they fucking love it?
05:23
I'm just bewildered and impressed
05:24
That you even got that reference.
05:26
You shouldn't judge so quickly.
05:28
Not all men.
05:28
Just quit with your head,
05:30
You fucking moron.
05:31
Oh, my God.
05:32
So you too, man.
05:33
Yeah.
05:34
Hear the page and stand by me
05:37
If I'm ghosting Kelly
05:40
You have to be.
05:42
Anyway, 400-person theatre.
05:44
She's killing it.
05:45
Has everyone there
05:46
Absolutely, like, eating
05:47
Out of the palm of her hands.
05:49
Wow.
05:50
I don't know what theatre you were in,
05:51
But I was in an empty warehouse
05:52
With, what, three people
05:53
Sitting on milk crates.
05:54
You and Mum included.
05:55
No, the first rule of sales,
05:56
It was a 4,000-person stadium.
05:58
Oh, can I tell my bank that?
06:00
No, you can tell the guy
06:01
You want to root tonight.
06:02
Oh, see, look, no.
06:03
Now you're just assuming my sexuality.
06:05
You're frustrated
06:06
And using self-deprecation
06:07
To cover your groveling self-esteem.
06:09
It's written all over your face.
06:10
Oi.
06:11
Oh.
06:11
No, that's fine.
06:13
As opposed to, what,
06:15
Using bullshit bravado
06:16
To compensate for, what,
06:18
Aching insecurity, loneliness,
06:20
And by the look of those pants,
06:22
A very tiny dick.
06:23
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
06:25
See, I would hire you on the spot
06:27
If you had the ruthlessness.
06:29
That was a good roast.
06:30
You can't fault me on that.
06:31
You've got to see the rules of teeth
06:32
When you open your mouth, you know.
06:33
Take it as a compliment.
06:35
Means you've got a soul.
06:35
I don't want a soul.
06:37
I want money.
06:38
You know, get a personal trailer
06:39
And eventually a bodycon dress.
06:41
No, you don't.
06:42
Yes, I do.
06:43
My ambition for, you know,
06:44
Connecting to people
06:45
Has slowly turned into an ambition
06:46
For fucking benzo prescriptions.
06:48
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
06:49
Rach, you're a good girl.
06:50
More than anyone here could say.
06:52
Good girls on pedestals.
06:53
Yeah, that's exactly what's gonna
06:54
Bridge that gender pay gap.
06:56
You've got integrity.
06:57
You should be fucking proud.
06:59
Sick.
06:59
Integrity.
06:59
Yeah, actually I need a strap
07:02
You know, put onto my straight jacket later.
07:05
Are you able to help me?
07:06
What are you talking about?
07:08
Just do another bump.
07:10
Yeah?
07:10
And talk about your sluts.
07:13
Hey, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
07:14
So, what's its down in salary?
07:38
Oh, uh, well it's 120k, excluding bonuses.
07:42
Are you fucking serious?
07:45
Well, I'd start you on 80 because I'd need to train you up for six months.
07:49
Are you fucking serious?
07:51
No, he's not, and you don't know anything about finances.
07:54
I'm serious, why not? I mean, you're incredibly personable,
07:57
you're extremely intelligent, you're a great laugh.
08:00
I mean, that's 90% of the job right there.
08:03
But you've got to be ruthless.
08:06
Yeah, you've got to be a cunt.
08:08
I can be a cunt.
08:09
You're hitting me over the head with a skipping rope
08:11
and 10 doesn't count.
08:12
No, you're the type of person to call HR day one
08:14
asking for stress leave so you can write an angry feminist think piece
08:17
by the end of the week.
08:19
Okay, so all I heard from that was,
08:21
hey, Rach, I'm really jealous of the way you can process
08:24
your emotions maturely.
08:26
And I guess all that's left to say is,
08:28
hey, Diles, when was the last time you cried?
08:32
Well?
08:33
When my mum killed herself.
08:34
Oh, is that why you hate women so much?
08:36
No.
08:43
Did your mum really kill herself?
08:49
Yes.
08:50
Oh, my God.
08:51
I am so sorry.
08:52
I'm so...
08:53
I didn't...
08:54
I thought you were joking.
08:55
Oh, come on.
08:56
I didn't...
08:57
Come on.
08:58
Go back out now.
08:59
No, that's not being ruthless.
09:00
That's just being a sociopath.
09:01
She's been talking to my girlfriend.
09:05
Fine.
09:06
So it's been, what,
09:07
ten years since you've had unconditional love from a woman?
09:10
Stop it, Rach.
09:11
That's not you.
09:12
That's not you?
09:13
Or...
09:14
Or he doesn't believe in you?
09:16
Mate, I'm her biggest fucking champion.
09:18
You know, shut the fuck up and let her shine.
09:20
Okay, excuse me.
09:21
I don't need you two men speaking for me.
09:23
Alright?
09:24
Especially not a parody of a Hugo Boss ad.
09:27
Yeah?
09:28
A reminder of hair regrowth treatment.
09:32
Hey!
09:33
What?
09:38
Yeah.
09:39
Oh, it's so good.
09:40
Breathe out through your nose.
09:42
Breathe in.
09:44
Oh, I love you.
09:49
So he leaves the body grows underneath the mountain.
09:55
Bring me flesh and bring me wine.
09:59
Bring me pine logs hither.
10:02
Thou and I will see him dine
10:05
When we bear them thither.
10:08
Age and water,
10:10
forth they went,
10:12
forth they went together.
10:15
Through the rudings find the weight
10:18
and the beetle bread.
10:20
Thanks for taking my wonderful walks.
10:23
It's all good.
10:24
If it is like a little thumb cock, for example, right?
10:30
Wouldn't you rather that's over nice and quick?
10:33
No, no, no, no.
10:34
That's where I draw the line.
10:36
We use with the corrupting of my sister.
10:39
No more.
10:40
Who's trying to corrupt your sister?
10:42
I'm trying to give her a job.
10:44
I'm trying to get her off the fucking poverty line.
10:47
He's not giving you a job.
10:48
Why not?
10:49
Absolutely fucking would.
10:54
Hey, I'll make it more tangible.
10:58
Yeah, fuck it.
10:59
See this watch?
11:01
This watch equates to my job offer.
11:07
If you can show us you've got what it takes,
11:09
that's yours.
11:10
It's $20,000, that.
11:14
Okay.
11:15
You've done something bad.
11:16
Something mean once in your life, right?
11:17
Run away from home.
11:18
Stole the fucking choppa chop.
11:19
Didn't return a library book.
11:20
Speeding ticket.
11:21
Okay.

11:58
Raych.
11:59
Can you keep me something?
12:00
Come on.
12:02
Nah, the worst thing she's done is cut herself the last time she got ghosted.
12:06
Ay.
12:08
And wind her up?
12:11
No, she's...
12:13
She's...
12:14
She's here.
12:18
She's here.
12:25
So, O'Connor, your one degree from suicide is your mum?
12:28
What's yours, Gareth, your wife?
12:30
Oh, right.
12:32
So much money, yet so little self-worth.
12:34
Gosh, I'd love the confidence and bank balance
12:37
of a barely average white male.
12:39
Better to be a rich average man than a poor average woman.
12:42
Tell me, O'Connor, would you still visit your mother
12:44
if necrophilia were legal?
12:46
Oh, that's cool.
12:48
Oh, fucking, whoa!
12:51
Alright, well, it's good to know that roasting's become
12:54
the new litmus test for being a cunt.
12:56
No, pushing a coke addiction and then slapping your girlfriend
12:59
on the come down is, yeah.
13:05
Oh, but what's my one degree?
13:09
I know.
13:11
Picking my brother up from 48-hour suicide watch
13:13
after she dumped you.
13:24
Slap him.
13:26
I'm not gonna slap my brother.
13:28
Okay, that's assault.
13:29
It's a game, you fucking shrewd.
13:32
I don't want to slap him.
13:35
What's that?
13:38
Fucking slap him.
13:39
Do it.
13:40
Do it.
13:44
Come on, do it.
14:10
I had some white behind it.
14:40
Come on, do it.
15:10
Come on, do it.
15:22
Come on, do it.
