BRET MCKENZIE:
We're gonna do some songs,
this next one is, um,
[2]
-is another duet, um...
-(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
[4]
...and, it's-- It's kinda
groundbreaking for us.
[8]
Um, because, um,
we're really challenging
[10]
the gender stereotypes
that exist, uh, within the band,
[14]
and, and for those of you
who know some of our songs,
[18]
I often play the ladies
in our songs
[20]
-and--
-And, you do it well, Bret.
[22]
-You do it well.
-Thank you.
[24]
Um, but this next song,
we're doing
[25]
a gender reversal-reversal.
[28]
So, what we usually do
is we gender-reverse it
[31]
so Bret's the lady,
but we've reversed it
[33]
back on itself, full 360,
till he's back to a man.
[36]
-Yeah.
-(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
[37]
He's very excited to be playing
the very macho--
[40]
-Ian. A guy called Ian.
-Ian. Ian.
[42]
A British-- A very, um--
[43]
-It's a very macho name.
-It's a very macho, sexual, uh,
[47]
-British guy.
-JEMAINE CLEMENT: Mm.
[49]
And, Jemaine takes the role
of Deanna.
[51]
-Yeah. I really--
-It's an office place romance
[53]
and she's a very complex
character.
[55]
A lot of layers that you put
in there.
[56]
-Yeah, I've put in two layers.
-(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
[60]
I've added another dimension
to what I usually do
[63]
to make a fully two-dimensional
character.
[65]
-Yeah.
-(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
[66]
I've really embraced the role.
I've studied a woman.
[69]
-That's right.
-(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
[71]
And, I just thought I'd watch
the little things she did.
[75]
-It's like this kind of thing--
-(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
[78]
And, you'll see that coming,
you'll see it.
[79]
-I wanna do it, now.
-Save it. Save it.
[82]
I'll save it
for the performance
[83]
when you see me become Deanna,
you'll see it.
[86]
-Oh, it's a transformation.
-Yeah.
[87]
-Thank you. Thank you.
-BRET: Um...
[90]
-But one last detail, um,
-JEMAINE: Oh.
[92]
before we do play the song,
you know, I think--
[95]
You know, we wanna point out
that we are aware
[97]
that comedy is a very
male-dominated industry.
[100]
Unfortunately.
[102]
You know, we're writing
the roles for women but, um,
[104]
the problem is the band itself
is very male-dominated and--
[107]
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
[109]
-It's systemic.
-Yeah, it's the-- It's--
[111]
It's-- It's--
It's systemic problem.
[112]
It's the fucking patriarchy,
that's what it is.
[115]
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND CHEERS)
[117]
Yeah. So we're sorry about that.
We're trying, we're trying.
[120]
Yeah, yeah.
[123]
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
[124]
(BRET BLOWS RASPBERRY)
[126]
-What? Too fast? What you think?
-Yeah, a bit too rocking for us.
[131]
Turn it down a little bit
people are moshing at the front.
