Emergency Questions

If you could take one item from any museum or art gallery – and you’re allowed to take it home with you – in the world, what would you take?

In the – In Hobart, in the Museum of Old and New Art, which is one of the best modern art museums in the world, there’s a sort of robotic, working cloaca that shits every couple of hours. Don’t want that. Can I have a sculpture that’s been bought by the Singaporean government? There’s a – There’ a Salvador Dali sculpture in Singapore in the foyer of a commercial building called Newton, or something. Does anyone know it? It’s got a hole in its chest and a round sphere hanging. Anyway… Yeah, it’s beautifully proportioned. But that shows that I don’t know shit about art because I suppose that I should take something classical. […] I like Dali. I know, it’s very sort of uni student of me, but I also like Jesus’s 3D cross – Dali’s crucifixion thingy. He did a few of them, actually.

Have you ever been refused entry to a country?

No, I’ve never been refused entry to a country.*RH relates story about a woman he met on holiday being refused entry to America due to a drug conviction.* Yeah, no, I mean, getting into America is a bit of a punish. You have to stand there for three hours and have a grumpy person ask you questions, but they’ve never turned me away.

Have you ever been in a motorboat?

I’ve been in a motorboat. *RH notes that he has not.* What do you mean, you’ve never been in a motorboat? Have you been on any sort of boat? Rowboat? Canoe? *Conversation veers into questions about how RH crosses water. Later in the podcast RH remembers that he has actually been on a motorboat in Finland.*

Notes

This is TM’s third appearance.

After The Spectator’s description of RH’s audience, RH takes an audience poll of those who consider themselves to be chunky, bearded men who stay away from social situations, receiving a loud cheer in response.

TM feels that the chairs are too far apart and moves he and RH closer together.

RH pitches a musical version of the movie Shrek to TM.

TM spills wine on one of RH’s interview chairs.
