What insights does Stephen K. Amos share about his strict upbringing?
This is a podcast from Rover.
My parents were very, very strict people. I remember saying to my mum as a child, can I have some pocket money? And she'd go, shut up, bastard! Your pocket is for your hand. Star Wars, yeah? The main character, Darth Vader. When he was a child, white. Young man, white. Intergalactic supervillain, black. He's so black, he even had a black helmet, which is ironic, because there's one part of me that's not that black.
And only Stephen K. Amos!
Woo! Oh, yeah, it's been done for us, Deidre.
How good.
Stephen K. Amos, who we've seen so many times and talked about so many times. It's finally in the studio.
Welcome. Thank you so much. And can I say, gentlemen, how great it is to come in and you to play a clip that's actually funny. The amount of times I've gone into his studio and they've picked the most shittiest clip ever.
Well, we can thank Mitch there, a young aspiring comedian.
He was the one who found and put that together. Good man, Mitch. Good man. No worries at all. Wow, he sounds quite deep.
I wasn't expecting that. Hey, mate, welcome. We know this is the least thing you can be bothered doing, getting up early in the morning and coming to see us. And so we very much appreciate your time.
But I've got to say, you know, it's a dream of mine. You know, honestly, I'd say dream, nightmare. Because I said to my Australian publicist, I went, I want to get to New Zealand. I want to meet a fantastic publicist called Bridget. I want her to make sure that I have no sleep. Great, right? No sleep, go straight into a breakfast television interview.
Yeah, you did breakfast before.
And then, and then, get this! Pre-recorded shows back to back. I mean, and she went, got this, got this. And not only.
Stephen came with us. Not only that, where are you going? You're doing New Zealand. Yeah. Because you've just said you've just been to Australia. Yeah. Where are you going after this?
Yeah, yeah. Strap in, folks. I've just done like a month and a half in Australia. Oh, right. Left Australia yesterday. Right. And guess where I'm going? Where? Oh, to finish New Zealand. Where? Australia. I mean, you can't write it, can you? I'm going back to Australia.
But surely like Brisbane or Sydney or Melbourne then. Make it easy on yourself.
Perth.
Perth.
I'm going to Perth. My Australian producer has got her finger on the pulse. She said, you cannot leave Auckland without visiting Perth. I was like, please, make it happen.
They're twins. Now, a lot of Kiwis will be excited to see you. I mean, a generic question, but it's got to be asked. Tell us about the show. Has it got to be asked?
Okay, let's not do it. Okay, I want to get to something better. Yeah, let's go deep.
Penis envy.
Ah!
Keep your thoughts to yourselves. Let's go balls deep. Venus MV, show us yours. I'll take your eye out. Well, you hosted a documentary. Yes, I know. There's a reason. There's a reason. You hosted a documentary. I think he knows, man. About the size. But the puppetry of the penis guys helped you out.
They did, I've got to say, because I like those guys. And that was when that show was massive around the world. No pun intended. I remember doing a show, actually. I was hosting a show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, one of the largest art festivals in the world, right? And I was doing this routine where I was suggesting that some stereotypes I can live with, i.e. I have a large member. And then somebody in the audience shouted out, prove it! Prove it! And then the entire audience started chanting and clapping. And thank God it was days before mobile phones, right? Oh, yeah. That's when you need the Darth Vader music to start playing. Because one of the guys from Puppet of the Penis was the one who chanted it.
He ran on stage, dropped his keks and did like a rifle tower. One of those ones. And I just had to, I felt the pressure. I dropped my trousers and I did the telescope. That's right, I said it.
Can you imagine this day and age?
It'd be cancelled.
That takes us back to my original question. Is that what the show is about?
No, but do you know what? This show is actually, it's called Now We're Talking.
