LOB013: Russell Crowe’s Pav
Published by John July 28th, 2006 in Podcast
G’Day world. This is Australia calling. This week Kev and John have their biggest episode yet. Yeah, I know we keep saying that but really this one is massive. Why? Well we’ve secured our first celebrity interview with none other than Russell Crowe (the best Australian actor to ever come out of New Zealand). And if that wasn’t enough for you, we also introduce you to Australia’s national dessert the Pavlova, as well as Christmas in July and the Lyrebird, which would have to be world’s most amazing song bird. Huge isn’t it?
Music this week is brought to you by this fabo’ band from Canada called Maticulous, whose song “Australian Vacation” could have been written for LOB, it’s so apt. Their record label is Broken Wreckords Studio.
Hope you like the show and keep those posts coming.
That’s a pretty lame imitation of Russell Crowe, I have to say. Since when is he some gay guy who talks in whispers?
And I don’t know where your perception of Russell Crowe comes from either. He’s very highly praised and has been honored by various awards groups and critics alike, but he’s never been in the habit of tooting his own horn. However, as Ali used to say, it’s not bragging if you can back it up. But Russ doesn’t even brag. Check here, though - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000128/awards for the scoreboard.
And Russell has some very old and loyal friends in his band dating back to his post high school days. The media doesn’t mention them, but that doesn’t mean Russ isn’t a loyal friend.
Hey guys! Informative as usual. I would point out one small correction… In the second name of Anna Pavlova the stress in one the first syllable. Not “Pav’lova”, but “‘Pavlova”. I know you are free to pronounce it as you like, but probably it would be interesting for you to know. It grates on the ear heavily when you say it your way.
And I don’t want to rub Emily the wrong way, but the Russell Crowe inerview was something. It took me couple of sentenses to make out who’s behind the mask, but it only added to the play and showed that you weren’t that serious about outlaughing the actor. Emily, you take it too serious, I guess. Perhaps, even more serious than Russ would if he heard this.
Oh my fingers: “… the stress IS ON the first syllable …” (sorry)
Hey dudes, I just wanted to write and say that your shows kicks huge fat butt. The biggest fattest arse you’ve ever seen, well, that is how much butt you kick.
Keep the shows coming, listen to my show if you get a chance… actually, forget it.. dont lsten to my show, it’s crap.
Anyway, Emily and Aleksey need to start living a more fulfilling life, stop criticising good ol’ Aussie podcasters (even though one guy is a Canuck and one is a Leprachaun).
The Russel Crowe skit was my favourite.. because Russel Crowe is a dick. I don’t think I like him….. wait.. nope.. I don’t.
Oh well… gotta go… (what sort of last name is TWATSON?)

That’s what i reckon
I’m hoping to move to Australia in a few years, and it’s good to great to have such superb tutelage on my side!
Just wanted to say the show is great, and keep up the talking s’tralian bit- Kev’s attempts makes me laugh in public
Dom
Yes - talkin stralian is fantastic. Do it again!
Yes, more “Talkin’ Strine” please. Although Kev does need some practice. His Aussie accent attempts are truly awful, yet oddly entertaining.
Oh dear. Looks like moah Tawkin’ Strine for me.
Don’t worry Kevin, I’ll be there to help you with your Strine. Wow we have got a lot of comments for this episode, haven’t we? I suppose that must be a good thing. How’s the new episode going by the way? These folks must be dying to hear it. Oh yeah the holiday in Uluru way mad fun and I can’t wait to talk about it. I’ll put a post up on my blog, in a bit, about the camel ride I had with the Korean girl who played her iPod the whole time. Heck I might even talk about it in an upcoming episode.
Oh yeah check out this link:

Some sad old Russell Crowe fan site found our interview with my best mate Russell and they refuse to believe that it is real. My god, people are just so cynical aren’t they? I love Russell and he loves me. We drink beer together all the time.
Hey Mates, stopp talking in the commentary-function. Give us a new episode. We´re dying to hear ya!

Aw, I think it’s really neat to see Kev and John’s reactions to comments. At least it shows they actually read them.
