Hey mates, welcome once again into the little dum-dum club for another week.
Thank you very much for joining us.
My name is Tommy Dasolo and sitting next to me, the other half of the program, Carl Chandler.
G'day dickhead, TV's Carl Chandler.
Thank you.
That's how I want to be introduced every week from now on, please.
Oh, boy.
Okay.
Shitheadery's very own Carl Chandler.
That's me.
The fans are furious.
Last week I did not get to finish my door story.
There's been tweets.
There's been Facebooks.
There's been Instagram pictures of people shrugging their shoulders in dismay.
This week there's going to be more disappointed people,
but that's because you're going to finish the story.
Well, no, I think I really want to know that people want to hear the end of it
because it's pretty good and I want people to prove to me
that they're going to really appreciate this story.
So if you want to hear the end of this gut-busting yarn.
Are you putting on the door story on pay-per-view?
Is that what you're doing?
Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.
Yeah, you've got to pay me 50 bucks.
Really?
It's like a Kickstarter and then you just come around to my house
and I just tell you the end of it.
So previously on the little dum-dum club, I'm in a public toilet,
I'm leaving the public toilet and I'm opening the door.
Right.
What happens next?
Why is this a choose-your-own-adventure now?
No, no, it's just trying to sizzle it up, trying to, you know,
make people want it.
Should we have a competition where people guess what happens?
That's actually really good, yeah.
I'll give a bit more detail. I'm in the public toilet in
Collins,
up the top of Collins Street,
in that little shopping centre thing.
Why didn't you say that last week?
Possibilities are endless.
I've just been to the doctors.
So there you go.
There's a little more detail you can play with.
I'm starting to believe the character now.
Yep.
I'm starting to understand where he's coming from.
Yep.
And I've done a number one.
Oh.
And I'm leaving the public toilet.
So guys, get your pens out.
Get stuck into your fan fiction.
Oh, boy.
Today on the show, two special old mates.
Very excited to have them back in.
First of all, you've seen her on Problems.
Please welcome back in the little dum-dum club, Geraldine Hickey.
Yay!
Thank you.
A frantic race to pick up the microphones.
I thought you were going to say something else other than Problems.
Oh, yeah.
What else have you been in?
SBS 2. Oh, yeah. Stand- have you been in? SBS 2.
Oh, yeah.
Stand Up at Bella Union.
I was on there for a lot longer than I was for problems.
Yes, that's very true.
Yes.
I can't believe I forgot that.
We watched that.
We had to do a thing for that.
And is that still on iView?
You can still go and check that out.
It's still available.
ABC have bought the rights and put it up on there.
It's still available on SBS On Demand for the next two years.
So getting quick.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Is that really a thing?
You had to sign over the digital rights for two years?
No, I just saw on the thing it says available till 2000 and maybe it's three years.
Three years?
17.
SBS are available for a couple of Commonwealth Games.
SBS are pretty confident in this internet thing sticking around for a long time On that, I was at a gig the other night
And a friend of the show, Adam Rosenbachs, was there
And he's got a notebook that's got all his stand-up stuff in it
And on the front, he's written in text, stand-up 2014 to 15
Which I thought was pretty confident that he's going to go the distance, stick
around at least another year.
But what I get out of that, he's not just doing the years, he's doing the financial
year.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
But also, he's not at all confident.
He audits his jokes, that means.
But also, he's not at all confident in himself filling up a notebook full of jokes within
one year.
He thinks he's still going to be on the same notebook.
Well, that's what I do. I give myself a year for a notebook. You give yourself one year. Like he thinks he's still going to be on the same notebook. Well, that's what I do.
I give myself a year for a notebook.
You give yourself one year?
Yeah.
Okay.
Anyway, also joining us, she's a friend of Adam Rosenbach's.
Oh, come on.
You would have seen her on Spicks and Specks.
Have you been paying attention?
All sorts of other things.
Please welcome back into Little Dumb Dumb Club, Celia Pakola.
Hello.
Yay.
Hi.
Just back from overseas.
That's right. A little jaunt. You. Just back from overseas. That's right.
A little jaunt.
You've got all those credits.
Does it get to a point now where if you aren't on a show,
you look at it and go, what's your fucking problem?
What's wrong with me?
What's your problem, Tony Jones?
I've got opinions on shit.
Oh, yeah.
What haven't you been on?
Let's try and start a campaign.
What haven't you been on?
Very quickly to the top of her head.
Q&A.
Q&A.
Yeah.
Okay.
Was there any other show in Australia where you can have guests on?
I haven't been on the show that you were on this morning, Carl Chandler.
Studio 10.
Studio 10.
I keep meaning to say Studio A.
I know.
I was going to say Studio A as well.
Are you only allowed to be on shows called Studio A?
Studio in the title.
Studio 54 coming up.
Carl Chandler doing some go-go dancing.
I had sex with the entire cast of Hot Chocolate.
So, entire cast.
The cast of that band.
The cast of that band.
Yeah.
I can't think of, what have I, what else is there that you can be a guest on?
What about in the UK?
Would you be on Top Gear?
Oh.
I haven't been on Top Gear.
I've not been on barely anything in the UK.
Oh.
Barely anything.
That sounds like a great show.
It's not until 2am, but it is.
We're feeling your pain that you've probably only done six shows in the UK.
Yeah, it's pretty hard.
You just went with that.
Life sounds awful.
Yeah, I mean, you know, like I'm doing Nevermind the Buzzcocks.
I was like, I mean, it was all right, but it's no Studio 10.
Hey, I'm happy to throw your bone here.
People writing fan fiction about my door story,
if you want to write Celia in, I'll give you permission.
How the fuck did you not finish that story?
Harley Breen smoked a joint before the recording,
which might have had something to do with it.
What a very different evening we're having,
drinking green tea, sitting around.
What end of Collins Street?
Like 100 Collins Street?
You are sucked in.
I forget what it's called
Oh
That's a
It's got like a doctor's offices in it
That's a popular hangout for
Gay men to hook up
Oh is it really?
I like that you did
Everyone who can't see it
Gerardine Hickey
Just when she was pausing
I think did like a crab pincer movement
Yeah
With her fingers
And then went
Gay men
I'm like is this a new
Yeah
That was me on Grindr.
I thought that was you.
You saw a man go in and fuck a male crab.
That was you.
That's what they do.
Have you ever seen?
I think an important bit of information for the story is
you left the toilet, the whole room or the cubicle,
which was confusing to me because I thought you meant you left the cubicle,
but then you said you did number one.
So I'm like, what are you doing in a cubicle?
That's a big detail, Celia.
I don't know if I should save it all for your submission.
Okay, all right, all right.
Can we talk about Studio 10 this morning,
about your performance this morning?
Sure.
Both Geronimo and Hickey and I lived together
and we had breakfast, we ate porridge together
and watched your little face on our little TV.
It's becoming quite a little habit
because you both came and sat together
and watched my Comedy Festival show this year.
Yes, we do a lot of things together.
I know.
We're quite the couple.
Yeah, Carl, it's almost as if they're friends or something.
I've heard of that concept.
It's just you.
You're our hobby.
We only get together to do Carl things.
Yeah, it's true because we bought tickets for your show as well.
We planned it out.
We're like, what's Carl up to?
What can we go and see Carl do this week?
Oh, Carl's doing something here.
What do you call yourselves?
Chan fans?
Chan?
No, not so much.
I'm here and you guys won't even look me in the eye.
Like, what's having support like?
It sounds great.
I don't know.
It just sort of so – it just happened today.
But what was good about the show, like, this morning, which was weird.
I don't know if anyone's already told you this.
Do you want to do – it's a panel show it's a morning television yeah yeah it's on for our yeah for our international listeners it's a
kind of the view style i guess sure yeah it's like in format like if there's five people sometimes
you sit at a table and then for another random reason you're sitting on a couch yes that's
that's yeah why do they do that?
I don't know.
There are a lot of things about that show because I watch – it's my morning show of choice.
Is it really?
Yeah.
So Studio 10 is on at 8.30 in the morning until 11am.
It's on Channel 10.
It's a morning show with a bit of advertorial stuff.
Yeah, a lot of advertorial stuff.
A little bit, yeah.
There's a lot of weird things about that show that like
when it started you'd look at it and go oh well they'll probably get rid of that and then it's
still that like so you're a guest on it this morning for the whole thing yeah and the guest
is always sitting like in the middle of the panel that's what i was gonna say when i saw it when i
first saw it it looks like you were hosting the show yeah it's bizarre visually i quite like it
as an idea because sometimes and i don't know whether you've ever seen this on or felt this on panel shows quite often they'll put someone that
hasn't been on right on the end and it's very hard to sort of get into the conversation if you're
right at the end of one side so to be in the middle i'm in the middle of it and it sort of
was a lot easier to get into conversation too much in the middle it really looked like you
were the host but you were waiting so you're like why isn't the host taking charge but you couldn't
have because you were like i especially enjoyed the moments where you clearly didn't realize you were on
camera yes yes of which there were a buzzfeeds article worth of visual i when i turned it on
you were you looked like you were at a cross between like a funeral and the most boring lecture of all time.
There was a lot of great kind of caught off guard moments.
That's my resting face.
We talked about this before, how you always have people come up to you and go,
hey, cheer up.
Yeah, I'm one of those guys.
Yeah.
So watch the tape back and really get into some.
I won't be doing that.
I thought your shirt was very nice.
Thank you.
And clearly you did as well because you've still got it on.
I've literally come, I've still got my makeup on.
I've come straight from the airport.
So I've been here.
It's very natural.
Thank you.
I don't know why I'm taking, you know, applauded for that.
But anyway, yeah, I've come straight from the airport.
So straight from one medium to the other.
Did you enjoy it?
Would you do it again?
Yeah, it was fun.
Yeah, it was fun.
Did they give you breakfast?
No.
I didn't eat until I got to the airport.
So no.
That's a tough deal.
Any show bags?
Any freebies?
Oh, no.
No.
Look, I don't want to bag anything about it because I really enjoyed it.
And thank you very much to Studio 10 for having me on.
But they gave away some chocolates at some stage finger up to it and well he said
that no no no he's wearing a t-shirt under that shirt that says morning show forever yeah yeah
picture of larry on it just so you know if you're listening bring back carrie ann kennedy but um
yeah they gave away chocolate to everyone in the audience and i made a little joke going
oh isn't that nice he gave away chocolate to everyone in the audience. And I made a little joke going, oh, isn't that nice that you gave away chocolate to everyone in the audience
and your guest host?
And they went, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then nothing was said and then I didn't get any.
You've got to be more obvious.
I think that was pretty obvious.
I don't know how much more obvious you could be.
Can I please have some chocolate?
That's a modicum above that.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, you can only get more obvious by just like wrestling it off
one of the old women in the audience who's already been given it.
And again, they insist upon showing the audience of that show
which does not need to happen.
I think they were better today.
I've watched it a little bit and I always think that those morning show audiences,
they just get wheeled in from retirement homes and whatever
and they're just there against their will or something like that.
But today they were okay.
They were laughing.
They were all right, I thought.
What's the name of the guy that does all the...
Jono Coleman.
That's it.
He does the infomercials and the warm-up.
What did he do in our youth, though?
What was that show that he was...
Jono and Dano.
He did Breakfast Radio, I think, and he did some TV as well.
Oh, he did that video hits thing on a weekend.
I think so, and he did a talent show called Press Your Luck
or something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I remember him from some – like a video hits thing on weekends
and it's one of those weird things where I just remember him going,
oh, coming up next, here's a clue, and he had salt and pepper shakers
and he was doing this weird dance with salt and pepper shakers.
Anyway, yeah, you guessed it, salt and pepper.
What a weird thing from childhood for your brain to cling on to
for all these years.
Yeah, I know.
I have a lot of those.
Yeah.
It's like Eden Gahar.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Vidiot.
I just have an image of his face in my head and that's it.
Vidiot, what a great show. That's all I remember. I don't even remember. Why hasn't Vidiot been brought just have an image of his face in my head and that's it. What a great show.
That's all I remember.
I don't even remember.
Why hasn't Vidiot been brought back?
Was it a quiz?
But it was like more about the – it was like you would have to watch a video clip,
a music video and then guess what happened next and they would have like a –
I remember they had one where they had a room, like a picture of a room
and there'd be things in it and you had to guess like who the musician was
that it was their room just based on things that were known about them what a great show bring
that video i say um i so when i did this show this morning there is three there's four regular hosts
and one of the hosts was away so they had a replacement host and i probably didn't get that
much information about what was going on so i didn't actually know who it was and so they
came in and were sort of like oh you know just doing their thing and i was sort of like so do
you do the news or whatever and she said i used to be the premier of new south wales
so you were on the news so i'm close I'm not a million miles away
No I wasn't wrong
Everyone
You know you guys read the news
In a way
So
That's fair enough
Oh man
I did feel
I did one bit I saw
That I really felt for you
Was
What were they
They were talking about
I don't know
Someone who'd been in a siege
With the police
And killed themselves
And they just
And the camera very ambitiously Every now and then kind of snuck over to you
like, well, he hasn't said anything yet.
He's going to have something to throw in on this, isn't he?
And just your face just like radiating going,
don't put the camera anywhere near me.
I have no interest in joining in in this.
Yeah, because there just happened to be quite a few serious news stories.
And, you know, Charlie Chuckles here isn't here to talk about genocide
or anything like that.
He's here for the odd spot when someone gets a penguin stuck up their ass
or whatever.
I'm not there for any incidents of murder or manslaughter.
It happens a bit like a couple of times on having been paying attention,
they screw you over a bit in that way.
There was one where there was a clip of someone interviewing a guy
at the Winter Olympics and he was crying.
He was like, why has the reporter made this person cry?
And we're like, they told him it looks like a sperm or something,
you know, like, look, this is fucking dumb shit.
He goes down the mountain with a fucking ass.
And then he's like, no, his brother had died
and the reporter brought that up.
And you're like, fuck you.
What a stick job.
Thank you for throwing us all under the bus.
But it was fun.
So then the next couple of questions every time he'd be like,
whose flag is this?
And I'm like, I don't know, someone whose brother died?
Is that what you said?
But, yeah, it's tricky when you're like, ah, well,
because you know, yeah, you're expected to be there.
I would like to see a whole game show based around that
where the actual answer is something awful.
Really horrific.
And they just go on, make some little jokes about him
before we tell you what's just happened.
Just to see how tentative people are by the end
where it's like, what happened next?
I don't want to say.
And by the end they'll be like,
this guy had a penguin stuck up his arsehole
and you're like, I'm not touching it.
He was probably in love with that penguin.
Probably a fairy penguin.
Yeah, there you go.
You'd be good on this show.
Yeah, fairy penguin. Yeah. There you go. You'd be good on this show. Yeah.
Fairy penguin.
But yeah, news and comedy stuff together is hard.
Yeah.
Because it's...
That was a gay joke.
Oh.
Oh.
Because they're not fairy penguins.
You didn't do the crab pizza thing as I didn't know.
I got it.
Thanks, Tommy.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was there.
I was with you.
The kind that hang around those Collins Street toilets, eh?
Oh.
More fanfic ideas.
Bring penguins into it.
Jesus.
So I've been up and back in one day to go to Sydney to do this show.
We've all got stuff going on.
Particularly me.
This is my question.
This is a bugbear of many people, I reckon.
The old cushion around the neck.
What do you call that?
The neck cushion at the airport?
Yeah.
I think just that.
The neck cushion. Yeah, neck cushion. I think just that. The neck cushion.
Yeah, neck cushion.
Yeah, that's what it's called.
So, and people put that on a bit before they go on the flight
and that's sort of a bit annoying to look at.
Do you think?
That's what people think.
Have you not seen Adam Rosenberg's material about this?
Sorry, is that the definitive opinion on neck pillows?
No, but I've seen him do it.
You know him and have gigged with him.
Have you really not heard him do that?
That's in the 2015 section of his notebook.
I don't think he's gotten around to doing that one yet.
I'm not doing material.
I'm just observing something.
So this is a question to the panel.
All right.
When you saw –
Oh, shit.
You've grafted one of their ideas.
That's the guy who's once sat in the middle of a panel.
Hey, when you say annoying to look at, I wouldn't go that far.
I would.
I see it and go, oh, that's an interesting life choice they've made
I don't know that it doesn't bother me, doesn't ruin my day
Does it annoy you?
What is the question?
Does it annoy you?
Is that the question?
No, no, no, not at all, no
So this guy's wandering around with a neck cushion around his neck, obviously
You know, a fair bit before
But it's for a flight to Sydney in the middle of a day.
Yeah.
It's an hour flight.
Yeah.
How much cushioning do you need?
Yeah, it's supremely unnecessary.
I also – it's like, you know, if you fly one of the cheaper airlines
and the ones where you have to buy your food on the plane
and you get a flight to Sydney with Tiger or something
and someone goes in on the $20 sandwich that you have to buy
and you go –
What are you doing?
It's two in the afternoon.
You're getting there at three.
You're nowhere near lunch or dinner.
How badly have you messed up your day that you're on this plane going,
I can't fucking handle it.
I need a sandwich.
Yeah, I popped the headphones in.
I didn't get through a whole album.
Yeah.
So it's not like you listen to an album at home and go, oh, God,
my neck isn't sufficiently looked after and I'm hungry as well.
What a nightmare.
Yeah.
Maybe they were at the end of a long-haul flight.
Like they'd just flown from somewhere else and they're on that high stretch.
To be fair, though, they're probably looking at you going,
look at this arsehole wearing his make-up at the airport.
He's better than us.
Like he's some kind of showbiz star.
Both thumbs pointed at himself going,
did you see morning TV this morning?
Walking around with cardboard cutouts of Joe Hildebrand and Ida Buttrose.
John O'Coleman.
Yep.
What's Ida like?
But do you reckon the guy with the neck cushion, neck pillow, is it?
I think it might be.
Yeah, anyway.
I think that doesn't matter.
Anyway, do you reckon he – did he look quite smug?
Did he, was he looking around going, what a bunch of losers?
Yeah, that's right, I know you want this, I know you want it.
Because the people that are wearing them are often wearing it
with giving off a bit of a vibe of like, I travel a bit,
I know what I'm doing, I know I'm going to get cramped.
And look, let's be honest, once you're on that plane,
it's a pain in the ass getting it out of your bag and putting it on.
You put it on an hour before, you let it get comfortable,
you let it mould to your shoulder.
I experimented with an inflatable one once.
I'll be honest.
Yeah, I had an inflatable one.
What do you mean experimented?
Well, I thought maybe this would help because I travel quite a bit.
Has the magic of travel worn off for you?
Well, the best thing happened, the flight coming back this year,
this week ago or whatever, on the flight,
got on the flight from London and I bloody knew one
of the flight attendants who worked in first class.
He's a guy who, yeah, a guy that I know and he walked down
and went, I was like, oh, holy shit, and he gave me a glass of champagne. It was like, he's like, who yeah a guy that i know and he walked down and went i was like oh holy shit
and he gave me a glass of champagne it was like hey he's like i'm in first class but um another
dude came up and he's like take care of this one who came up and later gave me the sweet headphones
like it was the greatest thing ever and he came and brought me secret secret wines and awesome
stuff and that was exciting and first class pajamas which i kept so you're You're the only one in cattle class wearing first class pyjamas.
Yeah, I didn't put them on.
I was going to say, I'm wearing them now.
How's everyone around you dealing with this?
Because there's no hiding it.
Everyone's kind of packed in.
Read and weep, suckers.
Yeah, that's...
Everyone was in a really good mood because the flight was pretty empty anyway.
Oh, great.
Because no one's coming to Australia at the moment because it's cold.
Yeah.
So everyone had like heaps of seats.
So everyone was in a fine mood.
Did you get your own row?
Did you all idea?
I got a window and one more.
So I got two on my own, which was enough.
I had going to and from the States at the start of the year,
whole road to myself there and back.
Bloody beautiful.
Probably kind of the same thing because, like,
who's going to America in January?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I still get excited.
I quite enjoy it.
I quite like the time when no one can get in touch with you
and you watch movies and that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
If I wrote a book called The Greatest Things in the World,
that would be one of them, getting on the plane and having three –
a whole row to yourself.
It's like free first class.
You feel – you really feel like you've cheated because you get a full,
you basically have a bed.
That should be the 12 days of Christmas.
Instead of all that bullshit about partridges and people leaping
and all that shit.
Stuff that you actually really want that would be awesome.
Yeah, a full row to yourself on an airplane.
Awesome.
There's got to be more stuff.
Yeah, one down, 11 to go.
That would be three seats are empty.
Three seats are empty. Three seats are empty.
Three seats are empty.
Three seats are empty.
Two neck pillows and five bucks in your jeans pocket.
Oh, yeah.
Good one.
No, that, oh, yeah.
One conclusion to Dasolo's door story.
There's got to be more.
I reckon by the end of this we've got to have come up with more.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a little exciting.
So what have we got?
We've got two neck pillows, five bucks, three seats.
Three seats are empty.
So we're four down basically and we've got eight.
We've got to do the number.
There have to be a number thing, don't they?
It has to still fit in with the tune as well though.
I reckon that's a secondary issue.
No, we can make it.
We are going to be here all night.
This is going to be like the Brill
building in here with us writing this song.
We'll get listeners
to contribute to that as well.
With a bit of time. The new 12 days of Christmas.
I reckon we can knock this up
as a single by the end of the year.
This is just
amazing. I used to remember,
it used to be the best thing ever, is being woken up early.
If you had to work that day, woken up early by a phone call,
you're like, oh, goddammit, early, and the call is, it's too quiet,
don't come in.
Oh.
Oh, my God. Oh, it's the best.
Yeah.
When you're hungover as well.
Yeah, and you're like, I don't want to go in the phone rings.
You're like, who's fucking calling me?
They're like, don't worry about it.
You're like, yes!
Because you can appreciate it.
Yeah. Knowing you had to go in. Maybe that's like, I don't know, what number could that be? I don't worry about it you're like yes because you can appreciate it knowing you had to go in
maybe that's like
I don't know
what number could that be
like four more hours sleep
yeah yeah
in the morning or something
I don't know
yeah
well it'd be one unexpected day off
yeah
we've already got one conclusion
to your story
we've got a great one already
I'm not budging on this
one's pretty popular
what you need
we need some good 8s and 9s
and 11s and stuff like that.
Yeah.
Oh, man, eleven.
Twelve's like a dozen or something.
What about getting a great –
Nuggets.
Nuggets?
Twelve nuggets when you ordered six.
Oh, that's not bad.
When does that happen though?
Well, if it happened, how good would it be?
Yeah, okay, cool.
You know what's a great thing?
You think someone's actually got fucking partridges in a pear tree?
No, this is pretty fantastical.
I just like the idea of someone going, six nuggets, thanks,
and then looking at the box and it says 12.
I reckon it could have happened.
I think that could have happened once in the world.
Sure.
Crazier things have happened.
Everyone's occasionally got an extra biscuit in a packet or something,
like opened a double Twix or something.
It's funny you say that because I think about that a lot.
Like if you think about like the worst or dumbest thing that could have
happened and then go, it must have happened once.
Like I don't know why I was thinking about this on the way here.
Someone out there has had a sex dream about Tony Abbott.
Surely.
Yeah.
That's happened to someone.
You'd like to think his wife has.
The one I always go to is someone would have fucked a Ferris wheel.
I don't know why I always think that.
Oh, really?
I read someone would have.
Someone definitely would have.
There was a thing.
There was a documentary series about people who have that thing
where they like think that they're in relationships
with inanimate objects.
Someone married the Berlin Wall and was devastated
when they pulled her husband down.
Like, oh!
Seriously.
And then wasn't she the, who was the one that married the Eiffel Tower?
Someone else.
It might have been the same lady.
Oh, what a skank.
What a fucking slut.
Any fucking building will turn that one's head.
She is not a one-house lady.
It's a shame that didn't come up this morning.
I'd love to know what Ida thinks about these two inanimate object relationships.
I like the commitment, though.
She's happy to commit to these landmarks.
Yeah, yeah.
I know this story because it was when I used to write for Good News Week,
like six years.
It was one of the stories.
But there's a particular story about this woman.
There's a lot of stuff going on.
I was on TV today.
No, no, no.
But anyway.
Shut up.
I think it was this story was about this woman marrying the Berlin Wall
and she was upset that it had been pulled down.
But I just love – I'll never forget the final sentences of the article.
You know how they give you a big wrap-up of what they're doing now?
So it's like blah, blah, blah.
She was devastated when it was pulled down and this is a story.
She is now currently involved in a relationship with her next door
neighbour's fence.
And I just think that is so wonderful.
That's a movie because I just really feel for the neighbour having to run
out with a broom every morning like get off, get out of it.
So like I'm trying to just in my head I'm trying to think what side of – like the front fence because like,
you know what I mean?
Is she putting her tongue through the railings?
Is that how that works?
Because if it's a wooden –
In my head it's a fence that's like in between their properties,
then it's kind of technically her fence.
So I think maybe it's the fence between her neighbour
and her neighbour's neighbour.
No, because she would –
So she's having to like get into their house to sort of do things.
No, but that wouldn't be her neighbour's fence.
That would be her fence.
So it would be the front.
I reckon it must be the front pickety fence.
Yeah.
But can you imagine just like, get off my fence.
Running up like trying to shoo something off the thing.
It's like if you just formed a relationship with your,
whoever lives in the next apartment, just their front door.
You're just like, what are you doing here?
Like, we're just dating.
Yeah, don't try and break us up.
Don't get all Yoko on us.
Even though it's like a genuinely crazy thing to think,
it does sound kind of nice, doesn't it?
Like those things where you've invented a reality
and you just buy into it and then you're happy.
Do you know what I mean?
You're dating a Ferris wheel.
It can't go anywhere.
It's never going to break your heart.
Sure, everyone calls you names and people make documentaries about you
and then you get ridiculed on a podcast.
You're not listening to them.
Hundreds of people are riding your partner.
Do you reckon anyone's in love with the Melbourne Eye?
Is that what we call it here?
The big wheel?
Is that what they call it here?
What's it called?
Do you have that in your country?
It's called the London Eye and then they've ripped it off.
Yeah, people are drawn to self-destructive relationships,
so what better than the Melbourne Eye?
Is it?
No, it's the Southern Star, isn't it?
Southern Star.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, I think you're right actually.
I believe it's the Southern Star.
Yeah.
It's the terrible decision.
Yeah, yeah.
Has anyone been on it?
I don't mean just here in this room.
I mean like in this city.
Has anyone?
I used to go out with it.
Yeah, they're still.
No, someone has.
They're still on there. They got stuck
at the top. And you wouldn't commit to it.
You wouldn't marry it. It got fed
up. And that's when it melted.
Yeah, that's why it broke down.
It was trying to slowly melt its way
onto the West Gate.
So close yet so far.
It was trying to melt its way
onto the West Gate. Hey, that's the thing. I wonder if anyone's
in a relationship with the Westgate.
Oh.
That is a self-destructive relationship.
Ladies love a bad boy.
Yeah, yeah.
Ladies love a dangerous.
Dark past.
There you go.
You've seen some shit.
There you go.
That's the architecture equivalent of a leather jacket for sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you could be in a relationship with one landmark, what would it be?
Oh, great question.
Really great question.
For me, is there like a big fish taco somewhere?
Of course, which one?
I'm actually amazed that there's not.
Like there's so many other big things.
Yeah.
Like the big fish taco.
Yeah.
It's quite specific.
But like is there a town that's kind of like known for its like gay,
you know what I mean?
Like is there like a town that's like known for its gay population
or something like that?
You know what I mean?
There is.
Daylesford.
Daylesford, yeah. Daylesford. Daylesford, yeah.
Daylesford.
Why don't they build a big fish taco?
A big fish taco.
Daylesford, that amazing, amazing combination of like it's known
for its gay community now but it's like to me it's half gay community,
half some of the biggest rednecks in Australia.
Yeah.
A very weird combination.
It's very pretty there, though.
Is it just because it's nice and there's a lot of spas and stuff and it's like, is that
it?
It's because it's like an hour away from Melbourne, I think, isn't it?
It's just like a nice place and it's just far enough away to go, oh, yeah, that's a
nice little thing to go for the weekend.
Is that, that'd be right?
Yeah, yeah.
And also, I just think years ago there was was a couple of BBs up for sale,
and some lesbians bought them, and then...
They just bred.
Yeah.
No, they rang their mates.
Right.
And they went, come on down there.
Because I used to play soccer for Dalesford,
and it was, you know, there's like hill people that live there.
Yeah.
It's really...
Like, I couldn't imagine how the two get along,
because it must be just constantly
Gay people driving up and down the main street
And hill people going
No! Stop it!
The lesbians and hill people are very similar
So it's fine
Sweet combo
Yeah, it is a sweet combo
They can both dig holes and fix shit
Oh, okay, alright
Very happy marriage then
I like your really polite, rational, kind of homophobic guy.
Just stop it.
Well, I figured that.
Please, I don't understand.
The fire would have come out of their passion to start with
because they're just constantly doing it.
So by the end, they're just pleading.
They're just tired.
Yeah, they're just exhausted.
Stop.
Stop.
Please.
I've got nothing else.
Yeah.
I just have to appeal to your sense of decency.
Let's talk about Celia.
So you've just come back from the UK and you did an interview for the project
with some Hollywood, some people too big to even go on Studio 10.
Surely not.
It is possible.
So Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt.
Yeah.
And you're in the same room as them.
Yeah.
That blows me away that I know – I'm impressed with myself that I know someone that's been in the same room as Tom Cruise.
It's crazy.
Like it's ridiculous.
Tom Cruise is kind of –
Like it's ridiculous to me that it happened.
Yeah, Tom Cruise is like – I would say the only other – it's him and Brad Pitt who are like – I think they're above celebrity.
Do you know what I mean?
They're like these –
Not of this world kind of –
They've been so famous for so long. Yeah. That it's almost think they're above celebrity. Do you know what I mean? They've been so famous
for so long that it's almost
like they don't exist. Quite a similar experience
like you talked to Tom Cruise today on
Studio 10. I asked a
question to Inglebert Humperdinck
That's pretty cool
The guy who reads the news in Sydney
No
The guy that reads the news in Las Vegas
What's your question? Who are you?
What's your question?
Did you used to be in New South Wales?
Tom Cruise, he's someone that
I don't think I really would get
Spun out by many famous people
But he'd definitely be in the list
Of just going
You're more than a person
You're
I should only be seeing you
In Madame Tussauds
I shouldn't be seeing you in person in Tussauds.
Yeah,
it was so,
it was the,
it's the weird,
it was the most surreal
day of my entire life.
So,
and it's not like
I'm anyone special.
The only reason it was me doing it
is because I was in London
and the project was like,
who's there?
You know what?
I was the only person
in all of London.
Yeah,
yeah,
it was like,
ironically,
it was like Vanilla Sky.
Yeah, it started 28 days later, yeah. So,, it was like Vanilla Sky. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, they started 28 days later.
Yeah.
So it was one of those junket things.
You know when you see the footage of them sitting in a hotel room?
Yes.
So they sit in the one room and they get reporters coming over and over and over.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
Horse and hound.
Not in here.
So originally, the original email I got through was going to be on a helicopter.
They were going to be like, you're going to interview Tom Cruise at the front of a helicopter and then you get
on a helicopter with Tom Cruise and you fly around London
and he points out. We want you to interview Tom
Cruise. That's kind of not enough, sorry.
You're going to need to juice this up for me a little bit.
I had to give him my passport and I was like, yes,
yes, of course, I'll do whatever, yes. And then
they came back and went, no, they've passed
on you, unfortunately. I was like, ah, crap. And then it was
a week later, they went, it's back on, but it's not in a helicopter
anymore. So it was this whole rollercoaster of like, oh no.
Anyway, so it was in a hotel and I had no one there with me.
Like the project were really great at answering all my questions
because I've never done this before at all.
So I'm like, what happens?
Do you go in and shake their hand?
Does someone tell you when to start?
Do I look at the, you know, like I had no clue of any of this stuff.
But so they were really helpful but I had to just rock up at this,
the fanciest hotel I've ever seen in my whole life in London.
They had an entire floor and you had to go check in with the press people
and I just spent the whole day acting the shit out of the fact
that I've totally done this a million times.
Yeah, yeah.
In between giggling, I just couldn't stop fucking laughing.
Got yourself a little hat made up that had a thing saying press
sticking out of it.
Well, I felt like I should have a sash on me that says Australia
because it was like the UN because I was like, I was Australia.
I met the German, there was a representative from Germany.
There was like eight, the Japanese had like eight of them.
There was the American dude, there was people, all of these, right?
And you get a show bag and you just sit around and then they come
and they go, Celia, we'll get you to come downstairs
because you're going to be first.
I was like, sure.
You were first.
I was first.
I reckon that's what you want.
I mean, if you're doing those things like late in the day,
they're over it.
Yeah, at least they didn't – yeah, they hadn't been there all day anyway.
And then you get taken to a smaller holding pen and I just giggled
and I just laughed.
I'm like, yeah.
And they're just, just stand here.
We're going to come and get you in a minute.
I'm like, shit.
And then I got taken through to, they're like, they're in there now.
But we haven't, we haven't quite started yet.
But do you want to come in and stand side of things so that you're ready to go?
Right.
So I go into this room and that's the first time I see them.
So they're sitting down in their chairs.
There's about 30 people milling around.
Right.
But they don't know I'm there.
But I'm looking at them frantically, trying to look at them going, they're just normal
people. They're just people.
It's just a person. This is totally
sort of.
There they are, whatever.
But what was really cool is that
they were joking around as they were setting up their microphone, so
they didn't know I was there. Any of the reporters were
in there yet. I was a reporter.
Journalists.
I had my little hat with the card in it.
Jimmy Olsen's on the scene.
And they're direct and then they were joking about like, oh, yeah,
someone sat down to sort of test the mics and went,
so guys, if you could have one day to live over and over again
and they both went, oh, and just started joking
about how much they hate that question
and the next person who asks that question, they're going to shoot them.
And I was like, good mental note, don they hate that question and the next person who asks that question, they're going to shoot them and I'll just, and I was like
good mental note, don't ask that question
because I was absolutely going to
ask that question. But can you tell us
some of those questions that
you were asked to ask?
No? Alright, never mind. Oh no, I just
there were some questions that I
Good question Geraldine, you should go
to London next time. No, no, no, I just
because you know there's stuff that I just wasn't –
wouldn't suit me to be, like, flirty with a – you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
But that's not a secret.
Like, of course, they'd be like, any personal stuff.
Yeah, or about their – like, how's it like having kids and stuff.
Even though I've just fucked it up anyway by the first thing I said
was talking about do you find Australian accents sexy?
And then he looks mad because he's divorced one of us.
What was it like going up Dawson's Creek?
What was it like going up Dawson's Creek?
But I was just so paranoid because he's gotten –
we all know he can crack it at people.
Yeah.
We all know that.
No, but he's yelled at an Australian.
Don't you remember that thing where he's like, you need to put your
manners back in? Do you remember that Australian
reporter, journalist interviewed him
when he fucked up and when he sprayed water, when that
guy sprayed water? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, so I was just paranoid to be like,
so, as a
gay fucking weirdo, Scientologist
man, do you like
to fuck gay weirdos? You're an alien.
That's how I would have tried to get on
side with him be like hey bro let's say we turn these cameras off and do some good old-fashioned
dynetics testing hey measure some salt levels but he was actually do you want to see my xenu
he was he was really they were really nice and they saved it i feel like i got away with it but
it was weird just looking at his face just going That's his face And he could just He could
Like when he turned the charm on
He'd just go
You could
Have anyone
Forget anything
If he had turned it on
If he had got to the end of it
And then gone to you
Yeah
Hey
Yeah
I like that question about
What day we could live forever and ever
Yeah
That's a good
That's a great
Little idea
I'll tell you
What day I'd love to live forever and ever
The day The day when we Root sideways Yeah That's a great little idea that you picked up. I'll tell you what day I'd love to live forever and ever.
The day that you and I. The day when we root sideways.
Yeah.
Always good to call back to something that happened before we started recording.
I think it's still funny.
Everyone knows.
Everyone who listens to this would know that clearly it was Carl Chandler who said that off air.
So you've got to turn the charm on at the end and then go on,
how about
you and me,
little Skippy,
we go out to lunch,
we see what happens.
Are you kidding?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Definitely,
of course I would.
What if mum had cooked you
a lamb rice butt?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Nah, fuck mum.
So you would have,
you would have totally,
Of course I would have.
Yeah.
Who am I going to go?
I would.
Yeah,
no,
but some people,
but I like that answer. That's why I'm asking because some people go, oh, no, but some people – but I like that answer.
That's why I'm asking because some people go, oh, no, no, no.
I'm like, I like the idea of Tom Cruise having sex with you.
Yeah, me too.
Me too.
Oh, really?
Well, he's – because before I did, I was watching a lot of his other interviews
and, like, I think he's really interesting.
I think I believe that he really does care about making movies and stories
and he loves film.
Yeah, I think he's probably a bit of a weirdo,
but I think you can't be that famous and not be a bit of a weirdo.
Yeah, I mean he sort of became a bit of a –
and I guess he maybe still is to a certain extent like a bit of a punchline.
I've heard that film's really great, but my instinct is if he's in something,
it's like, ugh, Tom Cruise is in it.
But The Last Mission Impossible was awesome. And he – like I hadn't seen him in something it's like Tom Cruise is in it. But like the last Mission Impossible was like awesome
and he like – I hadn't seen him in something for ages
but you watch and you go, oh yeah, this guy's a movie star.
This is wild.
Like he's great at this.
He's actually – I actually did like it a lot.
Yeah.
I've heard it's really, really great.
And I'm not making it up.
I fucking hated Oblivion which is his other film.
Oh, right.
Okay.
That last one he did.
Yeah.
But this one I liked.
Oh, yeah.
I did the press junker for that. I forgot. And then I banged Cruisey. Anyway, so that happened sideways. So the short story is it other film. Oh, right, okay. That last one he did. Yeah, but this one I like. Oh, yeah, I did the press junker for that.
Did you?
Yeah, yeah.
And then I banged Cruisy.
Anyway, so that happened sideways.
So the short story is it was amazing and then we got on a bus
and they took us out to the Warner Brothers studios
where they filmed the whole movie and that's where I became friends
with the representative from Mexico.
The journalist from Mexico.
She was great.
She was great fun.
So, yeah, so surreal.
The whole day was just ridiculous.
Is this a weird thing to say?
Like, I'm surprised that, like, he even does press.
Like, that's how famous he is.
I'm amazed that, like, people are let into a room with him.
Do you know what I mean?
It just seems like, I don't know.
He's got to that level where it's like people don't need to see him anymore.
Yeah.
Just he gets to sit in his house And decide who comes in
There's about three people
That come in
And that's it
He should be some sort of recluse
Yeah
And like the idea of him
Still having to go around
And sell a film that he's in
Like anyone's
On the fence about seeing it
Knowing he's in it
And then like
Nah but he said it's good on that show
So I better go watch it
When do you make the decision
To have a private jet
Like when
I'd like to see that line
Of who's got the private jet and who doesn't.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I think most people in Australia would – every time I go to the airport, I get on the plane, I always think – I'm always looking for celebrities.
Yeah.
I'm always looking to see who's on Jetstar with me.
Yeah.
Who's flying themselves.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, like I've done, you know, gigs at music festivals and I've been on flights with members of bands where I've thought, ah, they're just on a – you know, they're just on a little shitty virgin flight with me. I think I've been on flights with members of bands where i've thought huh they're just on a you know they're just on a little shitty yeah i've been on flights with members of bands but i just i just don't know
if they're in a band or you've been on a plane with someone with long hair and you just presume
it is hard to tell these days and you know like like men in their 30s don't in leather jackets
and and stuff don't travel in groups sure Sure. Unless they're in a band.
Yeah, you're right.
That's what I think.
Yeah.
Or they're going on a dirty weekend away without the mids head.
Well, it's impressive either way.
There's no visual Shazam where you can just hold your camera phone up to them
and try and get – or just put on Facebook and go,
does anyone know these people, these famous people?
So be the new app, Face Shazam.
I'm sure someone's working on it, yeah.
I've done that a bunch of times where I've seen a bunch of coloured gentlemen.
Oh, my God.
Jesus, does this podcast have a ripcord?
Fuck, just say black.
Like just say you saw some black men.
Oh, that's very disrespectful.
Were you talking about Asian people?
No, no, no.
I would never talk about them.
Coloured people could just be like the Wiggles, to be fair.
Yes, exactly.
That's who it was, coloured gentlemen, the Wiggles.
Yeah, let's start that as a thing,
referring to the Wiggles as those coloured gentlemen.
I love that. No, I's start that as a thing. Referring to the Wiggles as those coloured gentlemen. I love that.
No, I saw some African-American people.
Five coloured gentlemen.
Is it five or four?
It's five or four.
I don't know.
I hope there's four.
Four, because we need four.
We need five.
Wait, we need a four, don't we?
We don't have a four.
Four coloured gentlemen.
But the 12 Days of Christmas is supposed to be things that you really love.
I don't really love the Wiggles.
You would have at one point, though.
Actually, I love that reference. Yeah, you really love. I don't really love the Wiggles. You would have at one point though. I love that reference.
You really love referring to the Wiggles as four coloured gentlemen.
Yes, you're right.
You love the quick wit of your little buddy.
Yes.
I love that joke.
It's up there with lying down on a long flight on a plane.
Yeah.
That's the same as your joke.
So you've seen some suspicious looking types.
Yeah, I've seen some potential murderers.
No.
All right.
So.
No.
I saw a lot of African-American guys together, you know, in their sort of hip-hop gear and
just went, okay, that's someone, but I have no idea who that is.
And then I'd like ring friends and go, hey, there's like a bunch of black dudes here. Who do you reckon that is? And they're like, oh, fucking I don't know who that is. Please call the like ring friends and go hey there's like a bunch of black dudes
here who do you reckon that is and then i don't know please call the cops on my behalf
either call the cops or rolling stone
so you yeah what you never they're quadruple zero so it's you know it's pretty easy
you never found out who they were no no i've done that a couple of times i just never knew
who they were i saw nwa at the zoo that was a couple of times. I just never knew who they were. I saw NWA at the zoo.
That was fun.
That's pretty great.
Yeah, yeah, they looked there.
Oh, no, I didn't.
That's a lie.
That was a lie.
It was a public enemy.
Sorry.
Oh, racist.
Now that is racist.
Should we cut into...
Oh, yeah.
Why don't we cut for another instalment of Australia's longest running
and most popular and most consistent and funniest radio serial.
Rad Dad.
Rad Dad way. Gotta wipe your kid, your cat and your dog. Now see me be right in your catalogue. Yeah. Word to your mother, cause I'm Rad Dad.
He's the raddest dad in town. Rad Dad.
Oh man, there's never anything good on TV in the mornings. What's this show? Oh, it's
just one of those massive infomercials disguised as a morning show. Oh, well, there's never anything good on TV in the mornings. What's this show? Oh, it's just one of those massive infomercials disguised as a morning show.
Oh, well, there's nothing else on.
Oh God, what's this idiot trying to sell?
Dressed in a Bloodhound Gang t-shirt?
Thanks, Ida.
My name's Raddad and I'm here to tell you all about an exciting new product.
And joining me today is my daughter, Jenny.
Say hello to all the criminally insane and unemployed people out there in daytime TV land, Jenny.
This is the worst bring your daughter to work day ever.
Brighten up, Jenny.
I know it's 8.30am, but there's no reason not to be wearing a big old smile.
Rad Dad, how many cups of coffee have you had this morning?
68.
Jesus Christ, that's a terrible number.
You're right.
I just had one more and now I've had 69.
High five.
Thanks for alerting me to a comedy goldmine, Jenny.
This isn't funny, Rad Dad.
You've drunk almost 70 cups of coffee over the last two hours.
You could suffer a heart attack and die and then you wouldn't be in my life anymore.
Actually, that sounds really good.
More coffee, Rad Dad?
Great TV comedy there, Jenny.
Now, folks, if you're anything like me, you love skateboarding and hate having to do boring chores.
Well, now you can do both.
My new product, the Rad Mop, provides a fun way to clean up the house while busting out some sick pop shove-its.
Wait, is this why you've dragged me all the way up to Sydney?
So you could do an ad for a skateboard that you've gaffer-taped a mop onto the bottom of?
Show a little more respect to this invention
slash your billion-dollar inheritance, Jenny.
Hey, if my schoolmates are watching this in class,
for God's sake, please switch over to behind the news now.
But don't just take my word for it.
Let's hear from some satisfied customers.
I thought the rad mop sounded like a stupid idea,
and boy, was I right.
The mop itself was one of the cheapest pieces of shit I've ever come across,
and I've come across a lot of pieces of shit.
It scratched up my floor, had sex with my cat, and now I'm never going to get my bond back.
Fuck you, rad mop.
My little cousin bought the rad mop thinking it was just a skateboard.
The bristles from the mop got caught in the wheel that he lost control of the skateboard,
skating into the traffic and was hit and killed by a four-wheel drive.
I'll never get to hear his laugh again.
He was so innocent.
Every night I lie in bed and I pray that whoever invented this awful,
awful device will one day suffer in agony like me and my family have had to do
since we lost little Jaden.
See, it's fun and easy to get the mopping done with the Rad Mop,
and it can be yours for just 17 instalments
of whatever you have in your pocket right now.
Call now.
Our operators are standing by.
Hello, you're on the air.
Go to hell, you piping hot dickhead!
Up yours, hoover shit neck!
Hoo boy, these feisty callers are giving me hot flushes,
causing my chest to contract and making my arms go numb.
I think you're having a heart attack.
Uh, Jenny, quickly get to the phone and order me another coffee.
Another number 69, yes!
Oh, Rad Dad!
Rad Dad.
Rad Dad is filmed in front of a live studio audience.
That was the first time that we've actually recorded the episode actually of Rad Dad, actually like where it comes in the episode.
In real time?
In real time.
Yeah.
So like our guests now could comment on how they,
because normally, you know, the guests are just going,
ah, that was great fun, but they haven't recorded it yet.
And then they record it right before they leave
and Carl writes in jokes about Harley Bream wanting to have sex
with a child and he has no way to defend himself.
That was some very impressive acting, Hickey.
Some great emotional breakdown stuff there.
Yeah.
Is that going to be, can you put that on your IMDB?
Is that possible?
Can you do that? Rad Dad? Yeah. We'll call Tony Martin. Yeah, yeah, call Tony Martin. Yeah. Is that going to be – can you put that on your IMDB? Is that possible? Can you do that?
Rad Dad?
Yeah.
How do you – we'll call Tony Martin.
Yeah, yeah.
Call Tony Martin.
Yeah, easy.
On that phone call that we all know.
Phone number.
The Martin hotline.
Yeah, yeah.
Our mate.
Yeah, our mate.
Now, Celia, also you've been in the news again.
Yeah, but – yeah.
No one's answered what building they want to have a relationship with. Oh, you did?
What did you say?
Fish taco. Oh, the fish taco.
The one that doesn't exist.
Once it gets made.
Why didn't we take that answer?
Now you said the West Coast.
I want to pick the West Coast, but I can't.
I feel like a bridge as well.
I don't think it's the West Coast. It's a bit too
broody for me. I'm going to bridge as well. I don't think it's the worst case. It's a bit too broody for me.
I'm going to pick Luna Park.
Because I like that big old mouth.
Be a big old Nick.
It's a callback.
He seems like he'd be fun.
Yeah, I'm sure he's a great guy.
I could go on a little pirate ship whenever I wanted.
Oh, yeah.
You know, I'd have a lot of fun.
I'm a big fan of Luna Park.
Yeah.
See, I feel like I'd say like the State Library is quite a nice building
but then I'd have an affair with the Arts Centre.
Yeah.
It'd just lay there.
Yeah, it'd just lay there.
It'd make me feel dumb.
Going over to the State Library would be like boning one of your
university lecturers, you know?
What's that like?
That's the equivalent
of like chasing, you know what I mean? It's like an
older, distinct... Yeah, that'd be just weird.
I'm just
saying. I don't know. I just think what's a nice
building. But I like out the front of the State Library
that it's got those stone statues
that looks like a previous building has sunk into the ground.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or it looks like Atlantis' library is coming to earth.
So there, yeah.
Bits of sunken building.
But, you know, you're dating this building and then, like, you know,
people are constantly doing protests and rallies and stuff out the front
with that kind of buggy.
You know, you just want to go see your boo but you can't get through
because there's people there.
Every time you want a hot night of passion, it keeps telling you,
shh.
Yeah.
No dirty talking.
Josh Earl's always leading children through it.
I was going to say, yeah, you're in at the right time because Josh,
you know, Josh isn't in there anymore but, yeah,
that could have been awkward.
I bumped into him in there once.
It was very funny.
Yeah, I'll bet.
Because he used to do, did you know that? He I bumped into him in there once. It was very funny. Yeah, I'll bet.
Because he used to do – did you know that?
He did school tours through the State Library. He used to work at a school where I now work.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
What a funny old world.
Welcome to new segment, Josh Earle's resume corner, everyone.
I want to have sex with that school that you both worked at.
No, you don't. No, you don't.
No, you don't.
Yeah, it sounds, from what he said about it,
it sounds like a pretty fun old time.
An easy lay.
Yeah.
I went to, when I was a kid, I went to Luna Park one day
with a friend of mine and it was like this day where it was like,
there was like a little bit where you could go
and there was just like unlimited party food.
It wasn't someone's party though.
I don't know what the occasion was.
But anyway.
It probably was someone's party.
No, actually, no, I know what it was.
Who decided it was unlimited food?
You or someone else?
No, I do know what the reason is.
It's actually kind of a bummer to bring up.
It's a me being sick related thing.
We're back on Celia's show now.
This will be funny.
That's right, I had cancer.
But anyway
So I went along with a friend
And he just ate so many hot dogs
Those crappy little cocktail
Frankfort style
Just ate so many of them
And then we went on the Gravitron
And he spewed and it kind of went back up
All over him
The colour of those
Little boys when they come back up
is like nothing I've ever seen.
It was like coral.
It was like a beautiful glistening pinky.
Like the colour of the water that's left over after you've cooked them?
Yeah, but then, you know, that chewed up as well
with a bit of bile in there.
They're just all over him, just trapped in it, in the Gravitron.
Can't get out.
They're not stopping the ride just because one person puked.
Yeah, that'd happen every time.
But did you hear the – have you heard that urban legend about the girl
that went on the Gravitron?
Oh, no, it was the Roundup.
Remember the Roundup?
That was one.
No, I just thought of something terrible.
I want to have sex with the Roundup.
I don't know what the Roundup is.
Oh, it's not the Gravitron but it's outside.
Oh, okay.
So everyone can see you, right?
So apparently there was a girl that was just wearing a singlet top
with no bra and then her dick came flying out the side.
Oh, this never happened.
She just went the whole time.
And then her head went this way and her legs went that way.
No, no, it was just the whole time her trying to get it back in,
but she couldn't because, you know, you knew your arms.
Your pin, yeah.
So she just had to poo there.
And the arm would just fly up in the air.
See, that's what I like about being in a relationship with Luna Park,
the kind of rapey vibe you have going on, pinning people down.
Is this a folk story or did you go to sleep one night watching Porky's
and it's got mixed up in your head?
I think –
Maybe both.
I reckon that's true.
That's not that outrageous.
That's not a there's a crocodile in your toilet kind of thing.
I reckon that's pretty much could have happened.
Yeah.
I reckon it definitely happened.
Theme park urban legends are great though.
There's a whole compile of like Disney World urban legends
about when and how people have died.
Oh, really?
People who've gotten the sack for doing lewd things
while they're dressed up as Donald Duck.
It is, yeah, if you Google it, there is, man, there are some,
and a lot of them are true, but there are some spectacular ones out there.
Like people, yeah, people like drinking the water in the.
I used to work at Australia's largest indoor theme park,
which is Galactic Circus.
I was just going to say.
We went there the other night.
Yeah, we did go there the other night.
I've never been there.
Oh, my God.
It's pretty fun
We had a great time
That was a pretty pivotal
Because you can drink
In a penny parlor
Is that the
Oh no
Not in
In Kingpin you can drink
In the bowling alley
At the back
You can drink in there
But you can't drink alcohol in
But
We'd have like these
Like smaller rides there
Like
It would just be like
You're in a car
And it would move
but you're completely enclosed in this thing.
But the amount of times that I caught like 16-year-olds
giving gobbies to each other.
Oh.
That thing was a lot.
Because, you know, they'd just close the thing
but the game wasn't on.
Like they'd put no money in it.
Was it Galactic Circus giving a gobby to a teenager
because that was their choice of architecture
they had sex with?
Oh, Galactic Circus
would be a good one to go out with.
Although it's indoors.
It stinks in there kind of.
It's indoors. It stinks in there.
So you could just...
Basically if the ride was
rocking.
So they get in this thing and then they close the doors
And then obviously you just stand there
And you wait for a bit and they'd put no coins in or anything
And you just go
Give them a minute, give them a minute
And then security would just go over and fling the door open
And then it'd be like
Because you're 16 and you're both
Both of you have parents
There's nowhere that you can do some good old jerking off.
Yeah.
Except for Galactic Circus.
Except for the number one hot spot for jerking it.
But also, like, you know, I'm sure the kids go in there and they go,
this is the best plan of all time.
No one is going to know we're doing this.
We are so smart.
We're just giving people ideas,
but all you have to do is just put some coins in, guys.
Yeah, yeah.
And to be honest, we'll put some coins in for her
pleasure.
Well, very quickly, speaking
of video games, I play games
a bit. I'm a bit of a fan.
And I bought the new Mario Kart game
that came out last week. Man, it is so fun.
But anyway, I bought it
and you can play online, but it's kind of
like with video game systems, it's kind of a bit like
Facebook. You have to be friends with each other on each other's systems so i put a
thing out on twitter going hey i just got this game if anyone has one of these machines and
wants to play me this is my username and then i had a bunch of people who i presume are friends
of the show hit me up and when you make a request of someone you can put in a little message and a
number of people wrote to me with the message, that's your mate. So shout out to those people.
Yeah, if anyone listens to this, my username is just Dasolo.
Let's play some Mario Kart.
Do you have to have that's your mate?
That's a thing we've started doing.
We're talking about it a lot on the show.
You know, like you see someone fucked in the street and you go,
that's your mate.
Ah, your team.
Yeah, yeah.
Same thing.
Oh, is it?
Yeah, yeah.
Like it's the thing where if you get to the end of the world
And you've only got a team of people
To help get you through the end of the world
But I pick your team
Right
Okay
So it's like
So you deliberately pick the worst people
Yeah yeah
Right
What?
Yeah you have to spend the rest of your life
With that dumb cat
Right
Your team
Right I also Oh I see I also on the day that I bought it with that dumb cat. Right. Your day. Right.
I also.
Oh, I see.
I also, on the day that I bought it, I went into Big W to go buy it,
Clang, and I walked in at like 8am and I was walking through the shop
and this guy who worked at Big W kind of intersected me and he goes,
you here to buy Mario Kart, mate?
And I went, yeah.
And he goes, sold out.
And I went, oh. And I go, how did you know that I was here to buy Mario Kart, mate? And I went, yeah. And he goes, sold out. And I went, oh.
And I go, how did you know that I was here to buy Mario Kart?
And he goes, you just had that look about you.
The saddest moment of my whole life.
No, that's not sad.
It's better than you look like you're just browsing in Big W.
Because you had her perfect.
I was dressed as Princess Peach.
So, yeah, fair play to me.
I like the idea that he's trying to pick
everyone. What are you looking for? A six
pack of socks?
You look like it.
And you've chosen wrong. You would make a convincing
Yoshi? Or a toad?
Yeah. They're two
pretty separate ends
of the spectrum there. One's like really little with a
fat head and then one's quite large with a fat
nose.
Story checks out. the spectrum there. One's like really little with a fat head and then one's quite large with a fat nose. Yeah, I was just trying to say.
Story checks out.
Okay.
More fan art for James Fosdyke.
Me as Yoshi.
Oh, the greatest.
You know he's not just pixie photo. You can just get portraits all the time.
Here's the challenge. You
as Toad riding you as Yoshi.
Oh, okay. Cool.
Who would Carl be?
Wario. No.
Wario? Yeah. Wario.
The fat smelly one.
Is he smelly?
We don't know.
He's my character of choice.
Me too. I love him.
You've got to smash people out of the way rather than speed.
I'm no good with the quick ones.
I like King Boo.
Oh, yeah?
Just because of the noise that he makes.
Have you ever played a video game?
I like being an adult.
That's just me.
Have you not played Mario Kart?
I'm not a gamer at all.
You're a Mario Kart.
No, no, you know what?
I'll tell you what.
That is one of the very few exceptions.
If you had that on now, I'd go, oh, I'll play that.
But there's very, very few.
And people do that.
Because you can play two players on the one system and you can go online
and we can make a little character of you that you can play as in the game.
Any Dumb Dumb listeners, let's say you and I together take on some listeners at Mario Kart.
If you're into it, that would be a real treat, I imagine.
Well, let's do that one day.
We'll put it up on Facebook and Twitter and give people a bit of warning at a time or whatever.
Next time we do a podcast at your house, I'm happy to do that because I can play it.
Great.
Awesome.
You and me taking on people at Mario Kart.
Can you play double players?
Yeah.
You can have two people online.
So we can set up a thing where we're both on the one system
and then we just say, hey, anyone who's friends with me,
jump on it this time.
And we can have up to ten other people.
We can take on ten listeners of the show.
Is it like – I'll just drop some old school references
that we should have done in Rad Dad before.
Is it like Daytona or even before that where there's something
in the machine that basically means that if you go a bit slow,
you've always got that chance of catching up?
It's sort of rigged.
It helps you out if you're coming last.
Yeah, because you pick up items that you can throw at people.
I know that.
But on those penny games, like racing games, you always seem to go,
okay, if you have a crash, you're a bit far behind.
You always drive a bit faster than the other cars.
Yeah, do you know what?
It's not like that anymore because I played Daytona with a friend on Sunday night.
Right.
Me.
And she was miles behind.
Yeah.
We know who it is.
We know her.
We know her name.
Not to name drop it, but.
No, but it wasn't you.
There was another friend.
I played Daytona with Tom Cruise's boo.
It was another friend.
And she was miles behind.
And I was like,
oh, I'll let her catch up.
And then I made the mistake of just going, oh, I'll just go into the pit stops.
I'm still doing stuff but I'll just go in here and then she can catch up.
In an arcade game you went into the pit stop.
You're paying money to go into the pit stop.
I didn't pay money.
I've still got contacts at Galactic Circus so we've got free games.
I can't believe There's a pit stop
Like
Yeah I went in there
It was a big mistake
Alright
It's a trap
I went in there
And then she came around
Let's learn
I won't be using
Those Super Mario guys
If any Grand Prix drivers
Are listening
I will not be doing that
I'll float
Because I thought
Oh just like
She was like
Half a lap behind
And I thought
Oh this won't take too long.
This would just be a good way for her to catch up.
Just go and say hello to the crew.
And then she lapped me and then it was like, anyway.
You couldn't catch up.
You shouldn't have gone into the pit stop.
But Daytona kind of prides itself on being a little more like, you know,
realistic whereas Mario Kart's just chaos.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so there's things you can get that deliberately are going
to root the first
the player in first like just knock them out and you get them if you're in last so it's quite easy
to make a comeback yeah yeah um just a thing if there's any single people listening and you're
on tinder who is your mario kart player of choice is an excellent opening question oh oh yeah it's
a great one yeah who's your mario kart character of choice and what building would you fuck?
Yeah, yeah.
That's a great, that is a great one to combo right there.
And what would go under the number eight in the 12 Days of Christmas?
Eight is a tricky one.
We'll see ourselves with that.
Well, guys, I think that's just about all the time we've got left
for Little Dumb Dumb Club this week.
A few things for people to submit into us.
Finish off the fan fiction of me opening the door.
We've given you much more work than we ever put into
our own show. Yeah, it's homework. It's like school now.
Send us in. It's like we've all
quit comedy to become high school teachers.
And send us
your ideas for the new
12 Days of Christmas.
Of awesome stuff. Let's be clear.
12 Days of great dream stuff
that you really want. Sweet treats. Sweet everyday treats.
Hidden life treats.
