(audience cheering)
Thanks for coming. Thanks for having me.
You got a little bit of Conan energy right there.
Yeah I know, I was watching you before.
Or you had a lot of sugar, yeah.
I have.
No, thanks for coming.
First of all, those are cool.
Yeah, they're all right huh?
Look at that.
I got attacked by a cat on the way here.
They were just red.
Yeah, that would frighten any animal.
Yeah, no they're cool though.
Now, I want to ask you something first of all.
You are from Australia, but I don't know where in Australia.
Where are you from?
Ahh, Perth, Western Australia.
Perth, never been to Perth,
but absolutely beautiful place Australia.
It is beautiful, yeah.
Fantastic, but now you live in Brooklyn
and I was thinking, now listen I'm not-
(audience cheering)
People are gonna be waiting for me when I leave.
What are you saying bout Brooklyn?
No, Brooklyn's great,
but I can't imagine a place that would be more opposite
than, than Australia, right?
I mean, it's just gotta be completely different.
It is, and that, and that's kind of what I love about it.
At this point I was off to some change, you know,
it's just so quiet, it's real living, you know,
I'm lugging my laundry down to the laundromat and I,
you know, my duties right now just keeping the house clean,
my girlfriend happy.
Right, right, I love that you just say like, yeah,
I had to get out of Australia so I could lug some laundry
around, you know.
Yeah.
But I mean, you also, you get hounded a bit in Australia.
You're, you know, a big star anywhere,
but in Australia the paparazzi
kind of gives you a hard time?
Yeah, I guess so.
I mean, look, they're bored, I think.
Right, right.
They don't get many people going down to Australia.
And so it's, you know.
They've got all the photos of
Crocodile Dundee they would ever want.
They're like, we gotta get Heath now.
Yeah.
So you come to Brooklyn and the paparazzi,
they don't really want to go into Brooklyn too bad.
No, they couldn't care less, it's great, yeah.
Yeah, you settle down sir I'll come up there.
(audience laughter)
I'm gonna have Mr. T take care of that guy.
(audience laughter)
But so you having a good time.
And I know that sometimes in Australia,
when you've had a hard time with the paparazzi, you know,
and it's common among stars,
they tend to lose it once in a while.
You've actually thrown, you throw stuff at them.
Is that true?
Yeah.
I think people are behind you on that.
I don't think anyone's complained,
but what do you throw?
I've thrown an egg, or two.
You've thrown an egg.
Yeah, not at them, just kind of next to them,
so it splatters up.
(laughter)
You put a lot of thought into it.
That's how pathetic it is,
like that's what we were reduced to.
You know, like we can't actually stand up and slap them.
I mean, when they, when they kind of spy in on you
and you're trying to like bathe out in the sun
and you're with your girlfriend or your
friends or your family, and they're spying in on you,
it actually feels like you're getting
a slap across the face.
Right, right.
And we can't physically stand up and hit them back.
Of course.
Right.
It'd be rude and against the law.
Right, right.
So you just, you get an egg.
That's a good idea. Do you carry eggs with you?
Do you have an egg dispenser?
Yeah.
Do you have a carton just strapped
to your chest at all times?
Yeah. Very nice.
That was a cool sound by the way.
Thanks a lot, yeah. I've got more.
This guy provides his own sound effects.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong,
I'm an idiot, but Australia now is having,
we're in the summer, but it's the winter for Australia.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Does that mean like snow on people cooking at the chimney?
And I mean, what does it mean when it's winter in Australia?
Um, what does it mean?
I mean does it get really cold?
Are the kangaroo's wearing mittens?
I mean, it was quite confusing growing up.
I mean, for example, I mean, Christmas time in Australia.
I grew up, you know, around the barbecue
kind of cooking sausages and steaks
in, you know, in 40 degree heat sweating.
And in flip-flops and shorts and singlets
singing dashing through the snow,
in a one horse open sleigh.
Right, right.
It's not the same experience that you see.
Yeah, yeah.
You're getting a sunburn and it sounds kind of cool though.
It sounds like a beautiful time.
It is, it's beautiful yeah.
Now I want to ask you,
one of the things that's famous in Australia
is there's an Aboriginal instrument.
That's well-known,
which is called the-
Didgeridoo.
And I've seen it in certain movies,
and I'm sure everyone here has heard it's that kind of,
(imitates didgeridoo)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's really good.
I'm not done.
(imitates didgeridoo)
(audience laughter)
Sorry, but it's such a cool instrument.
And then it turns out I've heard
that you play the didgeridoo.
I can play the didgeridoo, yeah.
Really?
Cause we happen to have a didgeridoo right here.
(audience cheering)
You know what's amazing?
I've had, I've had this didgeridoo back here for 12 years.
And I'm always like Al Roker.
And he's like no.
Desperate Housewives no.
But can you give us,
give us a demonstration is that all right?
Okay, sure.
Am I even holding this?
I don't even know what's the right end.
Do you know how they make this,
or they find these.
The Aboriginals will walk through in the Outback.
Right.
And they walk up to trees
and this is like the trunk of a tree.
And they tap it like this.
(tapping wood)
Right.
And they listen to it and listen to the sound,
whether or not it's hollow,
it's actually termites that kind of bite their way through.
So they find a piece of wood
that's been hollowed out already by a termite.
That's right.
Then they cut the tree down and turn it into this.
All right.
Let's give it a shot and all the termites out by now.
You have to probably.
Yeah.
Okay, all right.
All right, so you gotta be really, really quiet.
Okay. Here we go.
(didgeridoo noise)
(audience laughter)
Thank you very much.
(didgeridoo noise)
That is cool, actually, that's a cool sound.
(audience cheering and clapping)
Put it back there for another 20 years.
That's a cool.
Do you want to give it a shot?
I don't even know, how would I, what do you do to do it?
(screaming)
This isn't working for me.
(laughter)
I think I just threw up into it, I'm sorry,
I got tense.
I don't even, it's something with the lips though probably.
That was pretty close, yeah.
It's a very, it's a very eerie sort of ominous sound.
Yeah, hypnotic almost, isn't it?
Yeah, I will do your bidding now.
Can you, can you solo on it?
Do you ever like bang out?
Like, can you do like a Hendrix solo?
I'd love to, I'd love to, I should,
I should release an album or something.
(laughter)
