Adam: “To be honest, I was actually talking to someone about this the other night. In the last seven years, I've only had

two drinks, forced on me. One was by the wife of my rugby league coach. And we were at a wedding and she was

going, “yeah, but you'll have a shot.” And I was like, “Yeah, go on then.” And the other was by Russell Crowe.”

 

Angela: “Hard to say no to. I imagine, right?”

 

Nick: “Yeah. You're like, “Yes, I will Mr Crowe.”

 

Adam: “But it was even big, It wasn't just any old pub. So he invited me to his farm. He has a farm in New South

Wales. And I was almost summoned like, I love Russell Crowe. He's amazing. I got a message saying, “Do you wanna

come to the farm on Sunday?” And I was like, “Oh, I'm visiting my granddad this weekend. I'm a 19 hour drive away.”

And he wrote back, “There are these things called planes.” And so I said, “Oh look, I'd love to come, but I need to do

publicity in Melbourne next week.” And then he wrote, “Don't do press on a Sunday.” I was like, “No, I'm not. The

press is on a Monday morning, but I need to be in Melbourne by 11”. nd then he wrote back, “There's a 9:00 AM

flight, you can make it. ”I was like, “I'm coming.” And so we turned up to his farm and we go into his games building.

And, I think it's the pub from Robin Hood, rebuilt. Of that, in his games building. And it's called The Blind Rabbit,

 

So we walked in and there's rugby league on tv and he said, “Uh, do you wanna pint?” And I went, “Um, I'm off the booze.” Thinking, I've said off the booze, he’ll know what that means. He just went, “Yeah, but you're in The Blind Rabbit.” I was like, “Yeah, but -” I said, “Genuinely, I haven't had a drink for a couple of years.” And he went, “Yeah, but you'll have a Guinness in the Blind Rabbit” “Okay.” So I, I had half a pint of Guinness, and even the half a pint, he looked distasteful. It's almost like saying I'm lactose intolerant, but it's mother's

milk, so I’ll have some.

 

 

Adam: “Yes, you get a letter. Yes, with ‘On Her Majesty’s Service stamped on the front, which made me go, “Am I the

next James Bond?” And you know, we would like to inform you that the Prime Minister has put your name forward

and you know, would you like to accept it? And literally, the first thing I did was Google, ‘Can Australians be awarded

an OBE?’”

 

Angela: “And they say, “Don't say anything.” Do they?"”

 

Adam: “But you're allowed to tell like your publicist. To give them a heads up for when it's announced. So there's this weird thing where my mum doesn't know, but my publicist does.”

 

 

Adam: “So our attitude going into that, cause we had a show the night after, was if he's elected, the whole world is

gonna fall apart. So we can just react to that on the day. Whereas we thought if Hillary Clinton's elected, there's

nothing funny about that. So let's write that show. let's make that show. And we, so we, we wrote a show assuming

Hillary Clinton was gonna be elected because that was gonna be the hardest show to write. Then we got in on the day and went, right, well that shows out the window. Let's go with the Trump show. But also the way people watch tv, they know we're live. And we are the only show that can actually reference something that happened an hour before

we go to air. Or take tweets during the show. Like you know, the Matt Hancock WhatsApp messages were being

leaked during the ad breaks. So we came back from an ad break and I'm literally reading them live on air and then

going, I don't know that I should be reading this. This one is awkward. Same with the Gary Lineker thing on the bbc.

People were pulling out of the next day's broadcast during ad breaks. So yeah, we've learnt, prepare enough that we

are gonna have a show, but leave some leeway for some madness to happen on the day”

 

 

Adam: “It was for 10 nights of the Paralympics. I had a month booked in at a comedy club in New York. Afterwards I

was gonna go to New York and MC the comedy cellar, and then suddenly C4 were like, 'we think

this, we think the three of you could get together and talk about the news.' And I remember sitting with Josh and Alex

and saying to them, look, I don't know that we can talk about the news, but I know one thing. I used to host a show in

Australia, a music quiz show, and there were two team captains and myself, and we had a real lovely chemistry about

us. And I said to Josh and Alex, I've seen this once. This doesn't happen all the time when you find other people that

you can bounce off, and I said the last time it ran for seven years in Australia. So let's give it a crack, cuz this could do

the same thing here. So really it boiled down to the three of us, I think. I mean, we argue like brothers, I guess I'm the

older brother and they're the two younger adopted brothers with a different dad, maybe. That's fine. But even, you

know, at the end of every series, we still give each other a gift and they gave me something for my restaurant. Oh, oh

yeah. It was a toastie maker.”
