Morning, Melbourne. Let's light away our next guest.
Introducing our next Gust He's a comedian, actor, television presenter and all around funny man.
All the way from London.
I accidentally hit a kid skiing to be fair to me right, this little cut straight in front of me in the line for the buffet, and I just lashed out here in Australia, possibly to escape assault chargers.
Please welcome to the show, Jack.
Quite, Hey, good morning.
How are you morning? You're very good.
Have you been in Australia now?
I've been here for three weeks on tour with my parents, So I'm very excited to be here because I'm excited to not be with them, because I've been having breakfast, lunch, and dinner with my mom and dad every day for three weeks.
Do you get the big family room at the hotel?
No, genuinely.
What happens when we go to hotels is they seem to somehow always get their first, and then they get the best room, they get the upgrade, and I go and look at their room normally because my dad's called me because he can't turn the lights on, and then I'll go in there and realize that they've got the big room, and they always get the number one dressing room as well, So I just get mugged.
Off everywhere we go.
I mean, we say, you travel with your dad a lot. How do you go traveling with mum? Is she who's yeah.
Yeah, she's good. She's very useful. I mean, because I couldn't do it without him. She man marks him basically, And yeah, we sort of like tag team Michael Whitehall duties because it is like traveling with a sort of minor royal when you're with him, which is actually quite good as well in some ways because it means you can sort of hide behind his divasness. So I would always feel bad about making demands and insisting on like, you know, limousines and five star hotels, but I can
go yeah, it was Michael. Michael just you know, he needs to have a certain luxury and he's so high maintenance.
I mean, you sort of family. Do you know the royals?
I know, yeah, I've come into contact with them in the past. I was quite good friends with Harry back in the day, pre Megan when he was a terrible right, Yeah, but when he was in Vegas or anything, were you I wasn't there for the naked billiards when.
He was with Megan? Is that true that he dropped his mates?
Yeah, I mean I wasn't. I wouldn't say part of the inner circle. To go back to Vegas analogy, but I had a few nights out with him when he was Yeah.
He seems like, yeah, he was would be fun together.
Yeah, retired from that as well.
Now never from that's surely Harry's not retired from it.
You're not still inside do you have to beg for a night out now?
Though?
They are definitely a little bit more negotiated, cashed out at the bank of mutual resentment.
I just sent my wife away for a girl's weekend. I'm like, take two nights bags. I know there's a potential Boys.
Wee credits, But I mean, your dad never really grew up.
No, No, I mean he's yeah, I don't know, he's still he sort of doesn't get go out and like get loose and go on the sash, but he he just sort of remains like a sort of gentle level of drunk all of the time. Now he constantly like imbibing.
I reckon, I'll be like he's dead when I'm older, just grumpy and just.
What do you mean when you're older?
Okay?
Also he has the best rider, because my rider is is like one can of diet coke. He has three bottles of what's it Lauren Perier champagne. That's one of myriator in every dressing room. He genuinely has to have this champagne because he always claims, he goes, oh no, I need champagne in the dressing room case we're entertaining. I was like entertaining who he went friends? If I have friends to one of the shows. I was like, you have one friend, okay. His name is Neil Stacey
and he lives in Bath in England. Right, so if we're in Bath and we're doing a show there by all means have three bottles of champagne. But you don't know anyone in Wooleongong, Like, you're not going to have friends there. You never know my mom does. My mom seems to know everyone in Australia. I guess this is insane.
Everywhere we go and it's always like ran like cousins, but they're not cousins that cousins like five times removed or she loves inviting like old nannies like I swear they did no parenting at all, because I have met thirty nannies on this tour, and every time I come into a dressing room after the show, they're there with the two bottles of champagne open and this is narrel.
She changed your nappy?
Is there anything worse than your My mom does it too, She says, you remember this, lady, and you just stand there going no, Mom, I don't, And now it's ten times worse.
Yeah, I was one year old. I do remember that.
Can I bring up your mum's relationship with Harry starts? I remember this famously happening at the brit Awards a couple of years back. I bought my mom with me, Oh it's Hillary. How is Hillary? Hillary? She's good. It's weird that you know her name.
She's over there, probably throwing herself at Rods.
No, Harry, sit down. Harry and Mum got history. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah they do.
Yeah, they had age. I was going to say they didn't have a night together, but they met at one of those award shows. She was very enamored.
You've got the Brits coming up again, the Grammys.
Yesterday I watched a couple of clips and have basically spent the last couple of weeks trying to just educate myself on modern music because it's been a couple of years since I did, and I feel so out of touch.
I can't imagine a scarier job than hosting one of those of it.
Yeah, I mean, they're all pretty hammered. So I kind of realized early doors that you if you just did it for the television audience at home and just accepted that you're both on slightly like parallel experiences in the room on the crowd, yeah, because you're not going to get a lot out of them, but you can you know, you can check a couple of straight bullets in their direction as well, and no one really realizes what's going on.
So I think that that that insulated me a little bit. Hey, it's a tough gig.
How was the Melbourne crowd last night? Live show? Last night? You got another one tonight. We'll put up the link on our socials for you to get last minute tickets.
But as as a guy from the UK, how are you coping with this heat?
Because the Brits don't like the heat.
Have you yeah, I mean it's quite intense. We've sort of been followed around by like a cloud everywhere we've gone. It's been great and miserable, and everyone's like, oh, I'm so sorry you've had this terrible weather. We're like, no, no, no, this is fine. This fits with us in our general temperament. But now it's got hot. It's quite intense, especially because my dad does insist on wearing a suit everywhere. Yes, so's melting.
No no, no, just like stick.
On some thongs and board shorts. But hewed.
He gets his budgy smugglers. I saw him at the shop the other day looking at it.
I don't think they you can smuggle a budgy. He's reached in age. Now you have to tuck it into your sock. Yeah right, sorry to put that image in.
It's what seven thirty six.
That feels too old to be talking about my father's genitals. The show is essentially just me making jokes about his relief.
Pap shots of your dad with a rig out down and kill.
Yeah, he hasn't got a rig to be proud of, like this gentleman's I've just seen some photographs.
Do you realize that's all we'll hear about.
Jack in the studio behind the scenes.
Actually got a large cardboard of it.
Can someone go on like a cobbled.
Street so you couldn't walk down those abs in a wedge. Last year Clint did the full sheet for men.
Everybody knows because he talked about it the whole year.
We've got to going away gift for you.
If you and on the front of we've all got our own little folders for our preparation, which none of us ever really read, but the producers put a lot of effort into.
It's sort of like a surfboard. You might need to put it in.
On the front of Quints is here with these rig out and Jack walked straight in and said, great, rig.
Great, do you want to take that with you on the I will take a giant declare that he throws.
Very impressive anyway, like to sign my stomach you.
Jack, We love you and your family, were saying earlier, like, honestly, we are jealous that you get to do it.
