Nathan, Nat & ShaunJeremy Piven talks touring Australia, the Chicago Bulls, and life after Entourage... Andy Lee on The Hundred’s Return, fancy dim sims & his new U.S Pub and we speak to the new cops of WA!
Is there Nathan and Sean podcast.
We know him as many things, but probably most notably Ari Gold on Entourage, The One, the Only. Jeremy Piven joins us, Now, good morning, Jeremy morning.
I haven't slept us thinking about this interview.
I mean that makes them Yeah, absolutely, Hey Jeremy, Jerry, I'm so excited.
Right.
I was at a function last night and one of my friends literally flew in two days ago from Chicago. He was at the Bulls game where Giddy hit the game winner right in Lebron's face.
I know you were there. Tell us the whole experience.
I actually shot that shot from half court. Josha, He's taken all the credit. Here's the reality. I've been to your great country and I've seen the way these pro teams play, yep, and you guys are underrated. You guys have brilliant players and they work their asses off. Can I swear on this show?
Absolutely? Okay, someone dining car time does nothing.
Josh is a legend, and he's also very humble like they. I don't know if you saw the interview after the game, but they said, how many game winners have you hit? And he said, never, never hit one.
Yeah, and you got the selfie. I saw that to you know, court side. Imagine you just go up to me quick selfie.
You know what's kind of insane is that that selfie has had a million views in a couple of days. That that shows you the power of like him stepping up. And by the way, look, I'm from Chicago, you know, I love my Bulls. We're the type of people that, like, we support our teams no matter what. And we're still holding on to the Chicago Bears winning the Super Bowl in eighty five and Michael Jordan and you know, so we've got this. You know, DEI is alive and well in the United States. And the way that for the first time, we have a lot of white players playing in the NBA. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, No, Josh's as a total stud. He deserves it. All those guys, they're hardworking dudes and they're finally starting to get their flowers. I love it.
Blavior and Melbourne last year and did a couple of stops Adelaide, Sydney. Did you have a favorite and least favorite thing about Australia. A lot of people don't like certain bugs in sex stuff like that.
You know, I'm not just saying this. The best shows I've done in my life were Melbourne at the Pala Theater. Yeah, and then Sydney at the State Theater because first of all, those theaters are beautiful and everyone was so present. You know, sometimes you go into a room and that you just they're not necessarily getting the references. But in Australia it was like we were all there together. They got all my references. It was That's why I literally was like, how soon can I come back?
Have you noticed Australian's ever coy jezza?
Because that would be a very Australian thing to do to somebody called Jeremy.
Has that happened to you?
Oh no, oh, I love it. I mean the people from the UK call me that as well. And yeah, I know I'm going to be seeing Monty Franklin and tomorrow and we're going to be eating vegimites and doing like his whole I don't know if you've seen any of his clips, they're really funny.
Be careful with the veggimart, Jeremy, because it's just a little brush of the veggimont and a lot of people what we do internationally, everyone just la like it's it's too much, mate, it's too much.
Be careful.
I shall proceed with caution. But I mean like it says a lot about you guys that like, I love the fact that you're very opinionated. You know, brands like Starbucks can't survive in Australia because you guys don't like viciously mediocre coffee.
It's true, it's true, big coffee. Nobody makes this there that coffee.
Hey, Jerry, I've seen a few interviews where you've mentioned the fact that people have come up to you along the journey about representing them as an agent. How many times do you reckon that's happened along the journey?
You know, it hasn't happened a lot. For some reason, in this country, they have a hard time separate, you know, fictional characters from reality. And I think a lot of guys thought that Entrage was a documentary. You know what I mean.
I'm hearing you.
Yeah, And I go to the UK and even Australian they go, look, they get that I'm an actor, but over here they get a little confused.
Have you ever gone along with it? Yeah? I can do that. It's gonna cost you.
You know, I have never done that, but that actually would be genius and to live that actually would be a great stunt. Just like you know, go on a meeting with someone and just wear the suit. I would shave and play through Azari Gold and film them until their head exploded.
Exactly.
Stand up Shy is at the acetatea ougust seeks what can we expecting?
Jeremy Pivenshaw. The thing about people in Australia is like, yes, they're very opinionated. They take their their comedy very seriously. But if you crack through and you're genuinely funny and you're having to laugh with them, they're along for the ride. So I talk about what it's like from my point of view being on sets, having people come up to me and mistake me for Ari Gold. I can't wait to have this conversation with you guys where you've seen the comedy and I don't have to explain how funny I am because I feel like I'm explaining his joke. Yeah, you gotta come and see it, because yes, it's observational stuff and I do impressions and I'm all over the map. But just to kind of explain it to you feels like I'm explaining a joke that you never heard.
I think we just tell your word for it. It's got to be a great show. Nothing viciously. Maybe I occur about it at all. Jeremy peeven, thank you so much for talking to us this morning.
I'll see you guys very soon. Ka Wait, let's go Perth.
Let's we'll hug the out.
This is the Nathan Natt and Showing podcast.
Acting imagine Ben Woods joins as Ben wellcare Ben, Ben?
Where are you from?
Originally a lovely little town called Heistings in Sussage, I think? Sokay, yeah, say.
The real deal. So you were a copper in the in the UK.
Yeah, thirteen years for my sins, okay.
So then and then what the opportunity to come out here arose?
There was a bit of a recruitment campaign, I guess. Yeah.
So why are you here?
Why?
There's a number of reasons that I could go into, but essentially it's lifestyle, right, Yeah, we get one life. Take every opportunity you can to make your life better. And that's why I'm here. You know, I've done the job for a long time in the UK. I got probably just frustrated with the United Kingdom all of the politics. Yes, this opportunity, why not take it? Like look at look at way. This is the most amazing state. Perth is a brilliant, beautiful, vibrant city. Why not why not take the opportunity. You do have a shift tonight in north Bridge, right, I do you want.
To about five am?
You're seeing me standing there looking grumpy?
Yeah, yeah, hey Ben, I would have thought. The other difference is in the UK you'd have a smaller car to whip around. Yeah, you got something a bit more power, a bit bigger.
Yeah.
The cars here, you've got the you've got the Rangers, you've got the Scoders. You know, actually you've got some nice cars to drive around, rather than a little forward focus in the UK.
At what point did they come to you and say, hey, we want to put you on a TV show because that's it's one thing to come out here and do the job, and I mean that would be hard enough. But then they're like, we want to follow you around with a camera and what you do in your job.
I think when they saw me because obviously got a face with TV, right yeah, yeah, no, so they w a I think w A police were reached out to by Prospero Yes to say, hey, look we've got these these cops that come over we've heard about. Why not make a documentary It's not just a boring one about please please, please, please please. This TV show is about raw lives people you.
Know, and their culture clash and yeah, yeah.
In the UK, you know, you're actually seeing the difference between the UK Australia, but also you're you're you're seeing raw emotions of people. You've seen the person behind the badge. It's always they say, isn't you know you just see a uniform, you just see a cop. You know, that's all that matters, you know, It's just it's just a person, not even a person. This this show will show you the person behind the badge. There are tears, there is laughter, There is tears from laughter. There is the lot. You know, the story.
It's a story.
It's not just a it's not a program, it's a story.
Have you had a stint in the country here.
I've done two weeks in Kunnanara.
Eye over that.
It was an eye open up. Sometimes it's an eye closer because I didn't want to see what they're going seeing. Yeah yeah, yeah, but actually really really good for development, but really good for starting to see Australia. I went there to earn some money. Let's be honest, right, you know you do you do those things to earn some good money. I actually tried to avoid the overtime because I thought the Kimberly's was such a beautiful.
Spot that you wanted to make them.
I've made the most of it.
I was.
I was out all day, traveling, hiking, exploring, seeing the seeing the beauty, and then doing the and then going to work thinking right, work's getting in the way.
Now, yeah, that's right.
That's right.
You did you go fishing up there because there are crocs in the water.
I went swimming up there, I was. I was told it's a bit you know there was like, it's a fresh water. Yeah, so I was told there's freshe's and then there's salties. It's a salty. You've got to ask fairt Absolutely they see you later, it's it's an alligator. It's all good, good, good to.
One of the nuances of when you're being a carp But you got the camera crew following you around.
So I thought that would be more difficult it was. I actually found it more of a challenge in the academy because it's all brand new. You know, you're trying to learn all these new things, and you then got a camera crew saying how is that? How did that know? How did that make you FEELM like, I don't know.
I'm just trying to learn, trying to remember what they just told it.
And I thought would be more of a challenge on the street. Actually it was great because you had the shooting directors. I used to call them the camera ladies. They hated it, but they were the shooting directors, Claire and cow and they were brilliant to make you feel relaxed looking after you know, they you wouldn't even know we're they're so you're you're dealing with some sort of incident. You wouldn't even know the cameras were there.
You don't have to reposition yourself.
So you've got a better.
You have to we just go back and start again.
Can you while you're arresting somebody?
Too great for that?
Again?
How do you? How do you go in the heat?
I like the heat and I'm not just saying that, And what is it? They say, it's a dry heat in Perth, right English, Yeah, I love it. I love he I moved here not just for the weather but for everything, right, the whole package. But the weather is a good selling point that it's it makes you happy. This is why I think people here are happier, because salaries are better, the weather is better, people are nicer. And I'm not just saying that people in Perth are a lot nicer than a lot of English people.
It's the nation. Matt and Sean Podcast.
Andy Lee, Hello, Hello, guys.
How much time you got with us? Because I've got that many questions to ask you about your life.
At that moment, mostly about your pub obviously I was going to ask him also about Carlton. Look at that, What do you want to focus on? Carlton?
Probably probably the one hundred coming back, definitely not Carlton. Sims is good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, premium premium dim sim range, which I thought could have been an oxymoron.
You're trying to challenge that.
That's exactly right.
So you got premium dim Sims and the hundred's gone prime time. There's A'm sensing a theme here, Andy, Yeah.
Yeah, moving up in the world. Except Carlton going direction everything.
Given that doesn't that balance everything? It takes the earth spinning.
You know, you're probably right.
And just to quickly clarify, it's Dimmi's and tinnies, which is your dim Sim range, which you can get where Carl's go.
You gotta be careful when you say Dimmys and tinnies because if you say tinnies.
Oh, franchise probably might tell better that.
The money is andy. Come on, what are the dim Sims?
Yeah, it's during COVID what. We were on a zoom with a few mates having beers and we had a joke that we should make a premium dim s diim. We just didn't think it would take four and a half years. So one of my mates is a world class chef from New York who flew them out and we tried to start making them. But they're harder to get right than we thought. But yeah, eventually we got them right, and then we did some pop ups because the minimum run was twelve thousand, and then someone from Cole's came to a pop up and said these are delicious, we should put them in supermarkets and we're like, oh wow, okay, great, So that's they just kind of launched now so you can get a D and DS diving in the cole suit market.
I love the fact Andy that you've got what we don't have don't have, which is follow through you like.
We've all had those ideas.
And even you say, oh, I can't believe it took four and a half years. It wouldn't It would take thirty years for us to pull that sort of thing together.
So well done.
Oh thank you. You know, once I starting, I tend to like finishing it, and even no matter how bad it's going to be honest. So I'm not sure if that's a good trader of bad.
How are you? Rehnos super segway?
That is one of the best segways I've ever had in my time broadcasting career. That's incredible.
More slowly.
We've finished digging though at least, which is good. Oh great, one hundred and forty seven days of excavation.
Who ridiculous, isn't that ridiculous.
It's just we just hit solid blue and so and then this is like saying it sounds more obnoxious than it is. But they had to use diamond kipped drill bits.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that that's our extra when they do train tunnels.
That's what they do. That's what they have to use. The equipment I have to use over here? Is that rightly?
Is that why that train line in Melbourne is taking so long? Is because you used all the time drills?
Yeah, and a little a little bit of the drill bit kicked off and I gave it to Beckers an engagement in a little bit of a saving green win, a little bit of a saving there.
Oh well, let's talk about one hundred, because it is back tomorrow night, which of.
Course everybody's excited about.
And you've gone into that primetime seven thirty times lot when people are going to switch on and think that Maths is still on.
Yeah, totally, Sophie Monk on tomorrow. Hamish Blake never heard of yeah either, and I and I heard it's difficult to deal with and then and Mike Goldsteen. And because we are in a new family friendly flot of seven thirty, we are tackling even though the show probably isn't all that family friendly at times. If you think you're watching the kids, I go ahead, we need the numbers, but it's we're tackling the subject of family. That's your first topic and thanks.
Give guy question.
Yeah, yeah, let's hear it.
How many ousies have been busted? As a teenager sneaking out?
What percentage?
I'd say one in two?
Do you wa wait?
Did you say not that I've admitted to doing a better half that was actually busted.
Oh, I'm going to say twenty six fifteen.
I'm changing mine to thirty three because I had two sisters and one of them got caught, so one out of three.
There you get an amazing sound effect. Ready, and that's got it perfectly. Twenty six percent.
Over the trophy.
Well, wow, I my situation.
That a family you got to you got another one for us, Sandy.
Yep, absolutely, pop of Australian stack deck hutlery in the disc washer with the handles facing up.
Oh that's a good one facing because should be fifty percent, do you think? Because otherwise, although if you do it wrong, you put it down angry.
You should put the pointy knives down. But other than that, I think you're right.
Ross. I reckon, it's the fifty sixty percent. I'm going to go. You're going to say thirty two.
I'm going sixty as well.
Oh, forty six percent, I should have gone with the fifty fifty ross.
I don't know who won that one.
Fourteen away from it?
Yeah, oh wow, okay, your massive better than mine. Okay, what the Cinemaustralians have a secret family?
Oh like secret family. It's probably two percent. It's got to be lower than that.
Surely, I feel like that founder brother that they didn't know about kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to say three percent.
Yeah, I'm stilling to I'll go one.
Then that's got it.
Have you seen the episode? No, I'm not from the future.
She's just in touch with the common man. At least one person in your trio that's grounded. It's about time that they got rid of Sean Waste.
My team's on the board, brother, exactly, banging up.
We can't they go without asking about your New York pub. I mean, and you had to soft launch and they drank the place dry, which is the most Australian result of all shoeies as well be done.
It was embarrassing actually to run out of the beer and then closed the doors by ten pm.
So there was a lineup of people just yeah, how's the people trying to get in?
Was just it was still it's the line every day, which is just crazy. The guys that put it together a couple of mates of mine. They do know how to put together a venue. It's that Eddie his name, and he was so devastated they ran out of beer.
Is embarrassed.
I said, don't worry. It's a fun story, but it's kicked off our. Paddy Mills ran his first run club, so when he only had to have a run club, Peter pubb and he ran that on Thursday and it turned into a heaver with Paddy doing pouring his own shoey.
Patty's one of the owners.
Yeah.
Yeah, So the owners whereverone was going to be silent partners. But I think it's become too exciting that I thought. Because there was no Austraight pub in New York. We've been fixed that and so I reached out to a bunch of iconic Australians and tried to attach myself to them essentially, so it's Mick Fanning, Ash Party, Patty Mills, Pat Cummings, s Jackman Hamish and myself.
You are Andy. Did everyone go for the opening or people had?
Other things came across the old and it's pretty hard to get those that group in. But we've got we've got a watstappens. As people said, yes, you know, Mick Fanning was the first in and came and as people joined, you know, I joined them to the Watstappen and I introduced Hugh Jacquelin to the WhatsApp. I'm like, hey, guys, we've put a new investor exactly. It's it's an actor.
You know.
He had a pretty small film, indie film because of this year, so I don't know how it went to good us and people are welcome, and Pac Coummons writes, great you to have someone in New in New York to do admin and take the bins out of YPT.
I'm a bit disappointed there's no Hemsworth.
In than that you've got a jack when you can't have a Hemsworth, had one musty man.
Could squeak? Maybe just get Luke then? And how many people turned up for run Club I'd imagine that would have been going off.
It was huge, Yeah, of hundreds and hundreds. It was the fist year. It's been great. So if anyone who's going to New York or you've got friends there, yeah, one seventy John Street.
It's down near there like the Wall Street end of New York, isn't it.
Yeah yeah, it's just underneath Brooklyn Beach, below China Sound and kind of alongside Financial District near the Yeah right.
And you hope it's a great success.
When I first finished Footy, there's me and a couple of guys who we got involved in a pub in San Francisco. Anyway I went broke. It was called Bondy Life Savers. Oh that's great, I thought, this is it?
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, no good yeah.
Oh well yeah, we're started strong, but I look for us for selling more stories in a few years time.
We'll see exactly.
Love you work, Annie, So the hundred to check it out tomorrow and night seven thirty on Channel nine. Dim sims from Cold to Strike past his renovation in Old Mates.
