Flight of the Conchords – Fighting Like Two Russell Crowes
Uploaded on Flickr by abbey*christine
With the new second HBO season well under way, Jemaine and Bret, known as the hardup duo Flight of Conchords are dispensing more of their kiwi wisdom. This weekend’s New York Times Weekend has an interview with the comedy duo.
They reveal that in this weeks episode, the New Zealand Prime Minister (actor not John Key) will come to the USA to meet with Barack Obama.
The best quip of the interview:
You first met as drama students at Victoria University in Wellington.
Bret: It started off as a punch-out. Jemaine: In the New Zealand tradition, we started off fighting like two Russell Crowes. Now we’re amicable rivals. Bret: In between fights we’d write comedy songs.
You can read the full interview online here.
PS: Russell Crowe changed his citizenship from New Zealand to Australia last year, hence the reference. He is now no longer gracing the pages herein.

I don’t know if you are a fan of Flight of the Conchords, I am thinking that you are not. The correct spelling of their names are JEMAINE and BRET.
sorry..just thought you should know.
Thanks for pointing that out, my bad, I instinctively used the standard spelling. Fixed.’
Being a New Zealander I have followed the guys for years. We went to the same Uni.
