[1:13] Speaker 1: much when you mentioned that you're from the Bush, it
[1:15] Speaker 1: really makes me laugh.
[1:16] Speaker 3: Thank you.
[1:17] Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're you're from I mean, Perth isn't the bush,
[1:21] Speaker 4: but there's something a bit adjacent to it.
[1:24] Speaker 3: It's like isolation.
[1:25] Speaker 1: We have that, I mean Perth, you know, it's really nice,
[1:27] Speaker 1: but we still have that sort of you know, little
[1:30] Speaker 1: guy type mentality.
[1:32] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[1:33] Speaker 2: Yeah, and you've got to.
[1:34] Speaker 4: Be You've got to work out how to use your time.
[1:37] Speaker 4: Do you think they wouldn't have that much to do
[1:39] Speaker 4: all the time? No, so you'd get bored sometimes.
[1:42] Speaker 1: Back in the day, do people come up to you, Like,
[1:44] Speaker 1: what do people say to you when they recognize you?
[1:47] Speaker 2: Me?
[1:47] Speaker 4: Yeah, well I don't really click that people have recognized
[1:53] Speaker 4: me most of the time. Yeah, so if somebody's look
[1:56] Speaker 4: at me, I'll assume that I've just sort of got
[1:58] Speaker 4: something on my face or something. But like if they
[2:02] Speaker 4: do come up to me, they'll just say, are you
[2:04] Speaker 4: Danny L.
[2:05] Speaker 3: Walker? Yeah, that's what I get most of the time.
[2:07] Speaker 4: I think people are just confirming that it's not like
[2:10] Speaker 4: what's the word, Oh, it's a chople ganger.
[2:13] Speaker 1: A what ganger?
[2:14] Speaker 3: It's a trople gang.
[2:15] Speaker 4: It's a doppelganger, but like an ugly version, you know.
[2:19] Speaker 4: I was like, what if they're looking at my choppleganger
[2:21] Speaker 4: and then they come up to me and.
[2:22] Speaker 3: It's actually just me.
[2:24] Speaker 1: I've had someone say before, no offense, but you look
[2:27] Speaker 1: like Joe Creasy. No offense, offense taken. Yeah, why wouldn't you.
[2:32] Speaker 4: Just say you look like Joe Creasy?
[2:35] Speaker 1: Yeah, no offense?
[2:36] Speaker 3: Or has anybody ever told you this before?
[2:38] Speaker 1: Yeah? You know what's shared? Even again today it's like
[2:42] Speaker 1: my phone's listening you on Taskmaster squeezing the oranges. People
[2:46] Speaker 1: must recognize you from all the time.
[2:48] Speaker 4: I wonder that because I don't think I leave the
[2:50] Speaker 4: house that often to interact in public, Like I'm more
[2:55] Speaker 4: like out and about on my own or just hanging
[2:57] Speaker 4: out with friends, like I'm in the bush, you know,
[2:59] Speaker 4: I'm or something. I'm just out there in nature, yeah,
[3:04] Speaker 4: or like I'll get recognized.
[3:05] Speaker 3: In an op shop. That's usually where it's going on
[3:09] Speaker 3: for me.
[3:11] Speaker 4: Before I was able to make any money off comedy,
[3:13] Speaker 4: when it was really you know, when you're doing it
[3:15] Speaker 4: for the love of the craft.
[3:17] Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're just like, oh this is the best.
[3:20] Speaker 1: I'll go on whatever time you want me, wherever you
[3:23] Speaker 1: want me.
[3:24] Speaker 3: Yeah, And I got recognized in an uberpool and that
[3:28] Speaker 3: was that was the end of uberpools for me.
[3:37] Speaker 1: That's really funny.
[3:39] Speaker 4: I was like, I can't this is this is embarrassing
[3:42] Speaker 4: on now because then it's what's the worst bit is
[3:47] Speaker 4: it was it was a you know, it was another
[3:49] Speaker 4: passenger who hopped in and recognized my voice because we
[3:51] Speaker 4: all said hello. But there was also the driver and
[3:53] Speaker 4: another passenger. So then has to explain where they've seen
[3:58] Speaker 4: you other passengers and driver and they don't care. Yeah, wait,
[4:05] Speaker 4: no I don't know why she's in the verpool.
[4:06] Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm doing research. That is so funny. Please stick around, Dannielle.
[4:12] Speaker 1: I want to chat about task Master, which you did
[4:14] Speaker 1: very well on.
[4:15] Speaker 2: Up next the Joel Greasy Show.
[4:18] Speaker 1: Comedian Danielle Walkie is here. Who, Danielle, you won the
[4:22] Speaker 1: first season task Master. I've just well and truly lost
[4:25] Speaker 1: the fifth season. How much research had you done prior?
[4:29] Speaker 4: I was a humongous task Master fan. Yes, of like
[4:33] Speaker 4: the UK series, I was obsessed with it, like I
[4:36] Speaker 4: just got to be so fun just to do thass.
[4:39] Speaker 4: I guess when they came to casting Australia. Maybe they
[4:42] Speaker 4: had me in their mind or something. I don't know,
[4:45] Speaker 4: but I got it and I had the best time.
[4:47] Speaker 4: And whenever I hear about people having a having like
[4:49] Speaker 4: a not fun time filming task Master, I'm like, what
[4:52] Speaker 4: do you mean?
[4:53] Speaker 1: That's my dream?
[4:53] Speaker 4: If every day I woke up and went to a
[4:56] Speaker 4: thing where they're like, solve these problems, I would be
[4:59] Speaker 4: having the best life out of anybody.
[5:01] Speaker 1: Right, make all the mess you want, we'll clean up after.
[5:04] Speaker 1: I agree. I came so badly last and I loved
[5:08] Speaker 1: every second, but in fact I wish I appreciate it
[5:10] Speaker 1: more when I was there. Yeah, you know, I did
[5:13] Speaker 1: the Raw Comedy competition years ago and was I was beaten.
[5:16] Speaker 1: But you won right in twenty sixteen and your set
[5:19] Speaker 1: was like so good.
[5:20] Speaker 3: You do know what happened my first year of doing Raw.
[5:23] Speaker 4: I got to the state final and then my brain
[5:26] Speaker 4: just went I'm going to come back next year and
[5:29] Speaker 4: nobody is.
[5:30] Speaker 3: Going to stop me. I wish I still had that mentality.
[5:36] Speaker 3: I'm like, do you know how.
[5:37] Speaker 4: Much more successful I would be if I had this
[5:40] Speaker 4: drive me to like take over? I really just want
[5:45] Speaker 4: to enjoy my life.
[5:46] Speaker 1: Where was your raw where was your first one?
[5:48] Speaker 4: My first one Melbourne, because they don't have any heats
[5:50] Speaker 4: in towns or they didn't at the time, have any
[5:52] Speaker 4: heats in towns Fall.
[5:53] Speaker 3: I'm not sure if they do any more.
[5:54] Speaker 1: We said good gigs in Townsville.
[5:57] Speaker 4: I think Townswall is a wonderful place and everybody should
[5:59] Speaker 4: go there. And we've got a great little I don't
[6:01] Speaker 4: know the first leet towns Fall, beautiful weather every day
[6:05] Speaker 4: of the year mostly except for monsoon season. We've got
[6:09] Speaker 4: great food up there, Magnetica and the great beerrief.
[6:11] Speaker 3: I don't know what's not to love.
[6:13] Speaker 4: If it had more people so I could have more
[6:16] Speaker 4: of a career there, I'd be there.
[6:17] Speaker 1: What about is it called the Sovereign the gay bar?
[6:20] Speaker 1: Was that still there?
[6:20] Speaker 3: Or was it called the Sovereign?
[6:22] Speaker 1: It had a name that was did not sounds familiar.
[6:26] Speaker 4: I was never really a nightclub person. Like when I
[6:29] Speaker 4: first turned eighteen. I went to the nightclubs with the
[6:31] Speaker 4: friends a little bit, and then the nightclubs, you know,
[6:35] Speaker 4: everybody would dance, and I would just wait until somebody
[6:37] Speaker 4: wanted to go to a smoking area so I could chat.
[6:39] Speaker 1: Yeah, I said so much. I didn't smoke and I
[6:42] Speaker 1: spent so much time in smoking areas chat and also
[6:44] Speaker 1: then talking to randoms, hearing their life story.
[6:47] Speaker 4: And I mean, as much as I like to dance,
[6:48] Speaker 4: it was like not it didn't feel like you were
[6:50] Speaker 4: dancing to have fun when you were eighteen.
[6:52] Speaker 3: It felt like it felt like.
[6:53] Speaker 4: Everybody was dancing, and it was like everybody was looking
[6:56] Speaker 4: at everybody, And I was like, I don't like this feeling.
[6:59] Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a It almost felt like a chore that
[7:01] Speaker 1: you had to do.
[7:03] Speaker 4: You know, they're saying, like, dance like no one's watching.
[7:05] Speaker 4: It's like it's hard to dance like nobody's watching when
[7:07] Speaker 4: it feels like everybody in the note club is literally watching.
[7:09] Speaker 1: And the more you think about it, the weedier dance.
[7:11] Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not And I'm not like rhythmic to begin with,
[7:17] Speaker 4: you know, like I'm quite jarring in my movements. Do
[7:21] Speaker 4: you know what was good today was I realized something
[7:24] Speaker 4: and it made me laugh, which is that because you know.
[7:26] Speaker 3: Do you sing to your dog?
[7:28] Speaker 1: Yeah?
[7:28] Speaker 4: Yeah, so I get right up in his face and
[7:30] Speaker 4: I'll sing to him. And I realized this point that
[7:33] Speaker 4: I don't have to sing good to him. He gives me,
[7:34] Speaker 4: he can give me this. He'll give me the same
[7:37] Speaker 4: face if I'm doing a purposefully horrific song, singing it
[7:42] Speaker 4: really bad.
[7:43] Speaker 1: Yeah, he's looking at me with those.
[7:44] Speaker 4: Same loving eyes, and I'm like, oh, you can't even
[7:46] Speaker 4: you can't even tell what I'm singing? Good? Why don't
[7:49] Speaker 4: I just try and sing so badly into your face?
[7:52] Speaker 3: That's gonna make me laugh so much.
[7:54] Speaker 1: I just love going with you, Danielle. I'm gonna play
[7:56] Speaker 1: some Cyril stumbling in up next. Let's talk about your
[8:00] Speaker 1: current stand up so which is no doubt solid gold
[8:03] Speaker 1: as perfume Joe. Yes, just god creasy, we're catching up
[8:09] Speaker 1: with Danielle Walker, fella comedian. Let's get nerdy. What are
[8:13] Speaker 1: you looking for, daniel Walker in your ideal comedy club?
[8:17] Speaker 4: I think my favorite comedy club is Basement in Melbourne.
[8:20] Speaker 4: I just like it because it's like it's low ceilings.
[8:22] Speaker 4: They're all packed in as close to you as possible,
[8:25] Speaker 4: and they're around you, so it's like there's more of
[8:28] Speaker 4: them than like, if the room's really long, it's hard
[8:32] Speaker 4: for all the energy to get all the way back.
[8:35] Speaker 3: Sometimes I agree.
[8:36] Speaker 1: I sometimes don't blame the people at the back for
[8:38] Speaker 1: talking because they don't feel part of it.
[8:40] Speaker 3: I hate when the room's too hot.
[8:43] Speaker 1: That's why I always say comedy is a winter sport, Montreal, Edinburgh, Melbourne,
[8:47] Speaker 1: Comedy capitals, cold cities, Yeah, Adelaide for inso On. I
[8:51] Speaker 1: did a forty four degree day last year and it
[8:53] Speaker 1: was a matinee and it was like black ten And
[8:56] Speaker 1: then I realized I just had to show you. It's
[8:58] Speaker 1: that I'm working fifty times hard for the payoff because
[9:01] Speaker 1: I'm so I couldn't believe that they were there.
[9:03] Speaker 3: Do you get quite sweaty if you're.
[9:04] Speaker 1: Like yeah, and then if I'm under the palm, like
[9:07] Speaker 1: it would be like if I was interrogated by the police,
[9:10] Speaker 1: that'd be like least sweating. He's done it because I
[9:11] Speaker 1: I can't hide it.
[9:13] Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see.
[9:14] Speaker 4: I could see like sweat coming down your nose.
[9:18] Speaker 1: I was so through.
[9:19] Speaker 3: I would love to see that.
[9:22] Speaker 1: That's so nice. Thank you A bittersweet he's sweating? What's
[9:26] Speaker 1: happening in a bittersweet?

[11:54] Speaker 1: o'donald is guest hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live, making her talk
[11:57] Speaker 1: show return. She looks sensational. She was wearing this like
[12:00] Speaker 1: hot pink, like cowboy esque blazer back where she belongs now.
[12:05] Speaker 1: She started her monologue by saying, peace and if you.
[12:08] Speaker 4: Thought the President hated Jimmy Kimmel Live when it was
[12:11] Speaker 4: hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, blah, people.
[12:17] Speaker 1: I can guarantee Trump was in the what do they
[12:21] Speaker 1: call it, the residents in the White House. He wouldn't
[12:23] Speaker 1: have missed wherever Milania wasn't He is obsessed with Rosie?
[12:32] Speaker 2: Is he is? He?
[12:32] Speaker 6: Actually?
[12:33] Speaker 4: Oh?
[12:33] Speaker 6: Yeah, because of how it's spoken.
[12:34] Speaker 4: She is.
[12:35] Speaker 1: Yeah, even before he was president, or even like in
[12:39] Speaker 1: the running when she was a host in the view.
[12:41] Speaker 1: That's filmed in New York, and yeah they had for me.
[12:45] Speaker 5: Gosh, love, imagine imagine the Prime the President being so.
[12:50] Speaker 6: Obsessed with you.
[12:52] Speaker 1: Why are you?
[12:52] Speaker 6: Why are you so obsessed?
[12:56] Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I saw a rumor that she was
[12:58] Speaker 1: going to be one of the new cast mats of
[13:00] Speaker 1: Housewives of Beverly Hills. Sent it to Jack Charles. It's
[13:02] Speaker 1: not true.
[13:03] Speaker 5: Oh okay, that would have been pretty good. But no,
[13:05] Speaker 5: I don't think she would do a reality TV. I
[13:07] Speaker 5: think what makes her so good is being a loof.
[13:09] Speaker 1: Yeah until Christmas time and yeah Frost. Yeah. Carl Stefanovick,
[13:14] Speaker 1: he was not at the Logi's, but he is. He
[13:18] Speaker 1: is set to make his first move into stand up comedy.
[13:21] Speaker 1: He's set to open for a comedian, Isaac Butterfield at
[13:24] Speaker 1: an upcoming Sydney show.
[13:26] Speaker 5: Surely that doesn't feel like okay, so Joe, you're a comedian.
[13:30] Speaker 6: Yeah, allegedly, I've seen your stuff, so you're right.
[13:36] Speaker 1: Now.
[13:37] Speaker 5: Karl Stefanovic, would you picture him or pick him to
[13:40] Speaker 5: be a comedian?
[13:41] Speaker 1: I mean, of the morning announcers, he was kind of
[13:44] Speaker 1: always the Larican and actually once when I went on there,
[13:47] Speaker 1: he did a stand up spot for me when I
[13:50] Speaker 1: was promoting the show was a whole thing, like they
[13:52] Speaker 1: had rioters and stuff. So he's I guess he has
[13:55] Speaker 1: done it before, because.
[13:56] Speaker 6: That's the thing.
[13:56] Speaker 5: You can be entertaining and you can be funny, but
[13:58] Speaker 5: being a stand up is friend. It's a different set
[14:01] Speaker 5: of skills, and it's creating a show, and it's holding
[14:04] Speaker 5: an audience, and it's having things that make sense and
[14:08] Speaker 5: a story. I think it's a completely different People underestimate
[14:11] Speaker 5: stand up comedy.
[14:12] Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you. Well, I mean it'll be interesting
[14:15] Speaker 1: what this guy. I mean, I'm not really across him,
[14:17] Speaker 1: Isaac Butterfield. I don't know a whole you know, I'm
[14:20] Speaker 1: not great on other stand ups, but I think the
[14:23] Speaker 1: real test would be going to do a comedy club.
