Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey mates, welcome into the little dum-dum club for another week. Thank you for joining us. My name is Tommy Dasolo. Sitting opposite me, the other half of the show, Carl Chandler. G'day dickhead. Hey, a couple of days late on this one. We're live. We're live.
Starting point is 00:00:28 You know, we like our live episodes, you know, when we go to different locations in front of audiences. This isn't in front of an audience, but it's in a very different location today, live from Luke McGregor's burgled house, I presume. And he's not on the show either, which makes this extra interesting. We should note that this episode is a couple of days late in being recorded and apologies for that. But, you know, we haven't – in the past we've been late
Starting point is 00:00:51 and we've had, you know, a good volume of people kind of going, where the fuck's the episode? This week not so much, which says to me that people have either started to kind of, you know, abide by the contract of a podcast being free and it's okay or people have just lost interest and no one noticed. To be fair, your phone number isn't out there in the internet. So I've had plenty of messages. Great.
Starting point is 00:01:12 If you're missing attention, I can certainly put your number out there and you can get the direct calls like I've been getting. Well, I'm an only child so I got plenty of attention growing up. It's not something I've ever been in need of. And well, I really wasn't in need of this attention either. This attention was thrust upon me. So how many texts would you say you've gotten? I think half a dozen.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Half a dozen? So six? Yeah. Yeah, in a way. You're right. Why wouldn't you just say six? You're an only child. You got all the education from your family.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Just showing off that you know the phrase half a dozen. Just say six. That's a common thing. And what's been the most aggressive? Have they been sort of just queering where it is or have there been people, you know, angry? Oh, I saw someone at a gig last night that went, where's the podcast? Where is it? Now, hang on.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Are you counting that in the half dozen? No, no, no. I'm not. That's a separate one. Okay. So that's one. That's a twelfth of a dozen people last night. So you've done four ticks.
Starting point is 00:02:04 A twelfth of a dozen people last night a 12th of a dozen people last night okay thank you good a baker's a one-eighth of a baker's dozen uh hey let's introduce our guest for the day first of all uh you know him from problems on the abc please welcome back into the little dum-dum club david quirk it's good to be here yeah for those who remember problems. It's been quiet ever since. How's life going, boys? Yeah, it's good. We've had some laughs.
Starting point is 00:02:30 We've already had some pre-laugh. Sorry, he's just laughing. We do have a little warm-up session. When we do a podcast, we do have a bit of a talk and a laugh before we start. Here we go. How the bread is made. Let people know what happens before the podcast. Yeah, guys. start and here we go how the bread is made let people know what happens before the podcast yeah guys if if only if only we let you in to see the funniest bits which is the first 10 minutes
Starting point is 00:02:50 hello my name is david copperfield would you like to see inside this hat also joining us on the show live from his own apartment that he's just moved into luke mcgregor thank you sorry it's uh really messy it is really so this is the Sorry, it's really messy. It is. See, this is the thing. It is so messy in here. And I know you've just moved in here, but you talk about having OCD all the time. It is bullshit. This place is... There's not chicken bones everywhere.
Starting point is 00:03:16 It's just clump. It's not far off. It's weird that these things aren't still in boxes. I've unpacked. Just haven't put them away yet. You had a how to play guitar book in your sink like
Starting point is 00:03:26 that's not even messiness that's just intentional insanity because I have to say I rang the doorbell and you sort of you sort of leant over the balcony
Starting point is 00:03:34 and said it's really messy and I went well he's got OCD so it's probably like there's just one sock on the ground in the corner of the bedroom
Starting point is 00:03:42 but he wasn't he wasn't whistling Dixie was he no it's bad it looks like it's on purpose it looks the corner of the bedroom. He wasn't whistling Dixie, was he? No, it's bad. It looks like it's on purpose. It looks like you're the guy that works on set of a movie and you're trying to make it
Starting point is 00:03:51 look like it had been burgled. You've spread every item in the house out over every square. That's a good... It's been stolen. But it's like you've spread it... So it's like there's
Starting point is 00:03:59 a boomerang down there. It looks like burglars broke in and then ran out of time to steal anything. They're just... They're just scoping the joints. Weirdly, you pointed at boomerangs. I was like, God, there is a boomerang.
Starting point is 00:04:09 There is a boomerang. It's right next to a frisbee, which is next to a soccer ball. There's some coherence to the things he's got. Are we in the games room at the moment? Is that what this is? The entertainment quarter of the house. And then in the midst of all this mess, just some awards that you've won. Just casually sitting on
Starting point is 00:04:26 the kitchen sink for us to see what we've got. They were the first things I unpacked. Just so the burglars are impressed when they get in here. Now we should, the reason that we're doing this here is because you're waiting on a fridge to be delivered today. Yeah, that could come at any time. Which I quite like because this is the day that the iPhone 6 has come out so there's people lining
Starting point is 00:04:42 up around the block for the new iPhone and meanwhile It was today. Yeah, you're waiting on a bit of the block for the new iPhone. And meanwhile... It was today. Yeah, you're waiting on a bit of new Fisher and Paykel gear. And that is going to be a sweet through line through this episode, I think. Just waiting for that fridge. It's got a massive screen. If we get to the end of this hour and there is no refrigerated machine here... Let's not stop the podcast. Let's stop the podcast as soon as the fridge comes.
Starting point is 00:05:00 So if the fridge takes a while, then... No, I say we let it roll and chat to the gentleman. I'm a bit worried they're not... Do you think they'll be here by now? What time did they say? From nine till six. Did they promise to be here before the podcast?
Starting point is 00:05:11 Nine till three. Nine till three, I think. Nine till three. So what are we now? We're, oh, we're ten past two. Oh. So it's, oh, this is a, this window is narrowly closing down.
Starting point is 00:05:23 What am I free? I want some food. I haven't eaten today. Oh, yeah. So how long have you been in here for? About two, three days, I guess. Two days. With no way of refrigerating food?
Starting point is 00:05:33 No. You've just been eating awards. I don't know. Did you see? Boomerangs. You send the boomerang down to Macca's and hope that they catch it in the air. It's really close. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:05:44 You've been eating at Macca's. I that they catch it midair. Have you seen how close? It's really close. Yeah, I know. It's close to Macca's. You've been to Macca's. I noticed. So I've been having that a bit. But I'll get there. You guys can help. That's why I have the podcast here so you can help straight after. This should be a reality show, Luke McGrew's reality show, where you have to use what you've got in this house to get food without buying it.
Starting point is 00:06:00 And that's your boomerang. You have to hunt your prey in Brunswick. That's good. You can play. There's several guitars in here. You have to hunt your prey in Brunswick. That's good. You can play several guitars in here. You could serenade someone out the window. And if you don't know how to play it, you can always get the guide out of the sink and learn how to play it.
Starting point is 00:06:12 That's right. That's good. Let me ask you. You've got two guitars that I can see. How good are you at playing guitar? Can you actually play? I used to be in a band when I was little. Not little.
Starting point is 00:06:24 You were little. When I was like… Were you in the band when I was little. Not little. When I was like... You were little. When I was like... Were you in the Tin Lids? Yeah. Hanson. Were you in the Muppet Babies band? Yeah. When I was at...
Starting point is 00:06:33 When I was like 17 till 20... Oh, here we go. Here we go. The phone started ringing. Fridgewatch 2014. But where have you put the phone? G'day, mate. How are phone? G'day, mate. He's gone with the fridge guy.
Starting point is 00:06:49 We're doing a podcast. Doing the Dum Dum Club at the moment. The fridge guy needs to know this. I don't think this is the fridge guy. I don't know if this will make it in. It's a bloody good podcast. It's a bloody good podcast. I like that you guys have come to the talent, haven't you?
Starting point is 00:07:13 Under any circumstance. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you can't be home. It doesn't matter if there's a fridge being delivered. Can we have you on the podcast? Absolutely. I think we should keep the podcast going while the fridge turns up. We've set it up.
Starting point is 00:07:27 You can either edit this out or just double it in length later. I think it's that strong. McGregor's left his house now, so I think I just heard him get in my car and drive away. This was all... Let's take some of his stuff. How is he going to notice if anything's taken? I hope this is... I'm going to be furious if this isn't the fridge.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Should we quickly talk about things that... Let's be ruthless now he's not in here. Yeah, right. On what else do we see? We've already gone through some of the funny things. Oh yeah, let's close to his stuff. He had something really, there's a lot of DVDs with him on it. He's got a lot of DVDs, I mean he's not, he hasn't it doesn't seem like he's been preparing at all for the inevitable
Starting point is 00:07:58 downfall of DVD and Blu-ray technology. No, he's really cutting heaps of DVDs. A lot of other people have gone digital. I mean if this was me, if I was moving and I had this many DVDs, I'd probably get rid of them. That's right. I'd take them to Dixon's or something. I find it interesting that I said there's no boxes,
Starting point is 00:08:10 which is obviously he's unpacked them, but it's strewn about. Yeah, it's comically strewn. I don't use the word strewn often. Yeah, comically so. Do you think he's done it so we could just riff on it so well? For people wondering about how things are going for Luke McGregor, he's currently able to afford both
Starting point is 00:08:27 a PlayStation 3 and an Xbox 360. He's one of those guys that's rocking both of the consoles, doesn't want to have to make the choice between any of the
Starting point is 00:08:35 sclooses on either system. He's got the new school both forms of entertainment as well as the old school both forms of entertainment, the Frisbee and the Boomerang. So he updated
Starting point is 00:08:44 quite a while ago. The PlayStation Zero aka the Frisbee. He reallyomerang. So he updated quite a while ago. The PlayStation Zero, a.k.a. the Frisbee. He really does mix business with pleasure, don't you know? Who was on the phone, Luke? Peter Hilliard. What? Why didn't you put him on it?
Starting point is 00:08:56 How? With the phone? No. If we'd known it had been something other than the fridge delivery, we would have made you hang up for sure. Sorry about that. Is Peter Hellyer bringing you a fridge? He is. Is he one of the good guys?
Starting point is 00:09:18 Sorry about that. Sorry. On that good guys thing. Just for you to see how the podcast was going. You know the theme song The good guys Yes The beach boys
Starting point is 00:09:28 The beach boys thing they've used I saw a band at Meredith An American band at the end of last year And they covered that song in their set Which I'm sure for them they think Hey this is a cool thing We're doing this Well they sung the good guys
Starting point is 00:09:42 Yeah The No the good Good vibrations Yeah Right No the good Good vibrations Yeah Right Yeah Which I'm sure they think
Starting point is 00:09:48 Is a cool thing But for here it's like Oh that's the fucking For anyone young enough It just seems like They're singing a song Off an app My friend Ted
Starting point is 00:09:55 I don't agree I'm with Quirk I don't agree with that What is it It was also used On something else What other Beach Boys song Wouldn't it be nice If it's been sold to Cadbury?
Starting point is 00:10:06 It was Cadbury, wasn't it? No, you know what? I'm completely wrong. I've gotten the song wrong. It was Taking Care of Business, which is Officeworks. Sounds a lot like a Beach Boys song, doesn't it? Taking care of business. Taking care of staples.
Starting point is 00:10:21 That's still a great song, though. It's a great song, but I just find that interesting when a band chooses to cover it in another country Not knowing that it's on an ad And it's sort of like Oh this is just like we're watching the ad Guys that's the Bunnings theme What do they change the lyrics to for Officeworks? Just nothing, they just use the song
Starting point is 00:10:39 Just taking care of business That's Buckman Turner Overdrive isn't it? Is it? I thought you would know that No I did not know that Of all people David Buckman Buckman Turner Overdrive Isn't it? I thought you would know that No I did not know that Of all people David Buckman Buckman Yeah
Starting point is 00:10:49 Buckman Or Backman Yeah yeah Lovely stuff Lovely music review we've just Got into here On the little Dumb Elm Club I'm just still rattled
Starting point is 00:10:58 From the whole fridge thing From before to be honest Oh it's caused a real rift It's coming and then We'll crack a bottle of wine there Was Hellier saying I wouldn't mind coming over for a drink And you going Not yet buddy Not yet pal honest? It's caused a real rift. It's coming and then we'll crack a bottle of wine there. Was Hellier saying I wouldn't mind
Starting point is 00:11:06 coming over for a drink and you going not yet buddy. Not yet pal. Come over in an hour. We've got to
Starting point is 00:11:10 move the guitar book out of the sink first. Well we had speaking of liquid what a sweet segue. Yesterday I
Starting point is 00:11:18 went and had lunch with a couple of friends of the show including David Quirk who's present right at the
Starting point is 00:11:23 moment. Ben, no not Ben Lomas. No, we get to mix up with Harley Breen sometimes. Harley Breen. Same stature. Yeah. Harley Breen. Kids.
Starting point is 00:11:32 We had lunch. I don't know if that's married. Sorry? Nothing. I'm just thinking out loud. We had lunch. We had lunch. We had a good time, didn't we?
Starting point is 00:11:40 We did. It was nice. It was nice. Oh, God, I see where this is going to go. So then we left. And as we're talking and whatever, one great point that David Quirk made was a little point of conversation. He's been swimming.
Starting point is 00:11:53 He's been telling me how much he's been enjoying swimming, going to the public pool and swimming lately. I've never done that in my life and it's new to me. Yeah, good, right? I grew up swimming in rivers. So I find it very boring doing laps. It's good to have you here tonight, Tarzan. Rivers?
Starting point is 00:12:08 Is it dangerous? Rivers? You can immerse yourself in a body of water. Yeah, rivers. You can swim in rivers. I grew up in the countryside like Tarzan. Insert jokes about country people now. And anyway, I can't swim very well
Starting point is 00:12:25 But I've been swimming And somewhere along the way I said Yeah they call It's a 50 metre pool Right yeah So this is the point Now You said you've been swimming in this pool
Starting point is 00:12:34 And you said Now I've got problems with this place It's weird Because it says it's a 50 metre pool But it's not 50 metres And we're like What are you talking about? And you said
Starting point is 00:12:43 Well I think it's like It doesn't look 50 metres It's much shorter It's not 50 metres So And we're like what are you talking about? And you said well I think it's much shorter, it's not 50 metres so they must this pool, I think what it is is it's a 25 metre pool and they just called it a 50 metre pool because if you swim to one end and you swim
Starting point is 00:12:56 back, that's 50 metres. It could be a thousand metre pool with that length. That's right. I don't call myself a 12 foot person because if you double it, that's what I am. If you get. Exactly. Like, I don't call myself a 12-foot person because if you double it, that's what I am. If you get to my head and then go back down to my feet and then go back up to my head again.
Starting point is 00:13:10 It should be known that I hadn't thought this through or said it out loud to anyone until this moment. No, no, no, because this went for a long time. Because I'm thinking they're not going to put a 25-meter pool. It doesn't have the same ring to it. It's like you're allowed to double whatever you want because it's ringless without doubling it. It depends how far you swim.
Starting point is 00:13:28 It'll eventually be a 50 metre. I've been trying to sell my six centre sofa for ages. Depends how small these people are, right? We're laughing at this, right? But this is a real thing coming out of David Quirk's mouth yesterday. So he's telling us that and we're going, what are you talking about? And how quickly are you chiming in? Are you instantly on him or are you kind of letting it
Starting point is 00:13:47 unwind and letting him tie his own? Because it's that thing where there's, it's like this environment here where there's a few of you and you don't want to let it go because someone else is going to jump in and get the good meat off the bones. I was getting a good serving but I thought I'm right. I'm right, like it's clearly not 50 metres long. Yeah, so we're going like this
Starting point is 00:14:03 at him for like 10 minutes or so. It ends with him going – Someone says ring them. I'm going to sort this out. Gets on the phone to the pool. Gets on the phone to the pool and goes, hey, you know that 50 metre pool? The phone won't go each morning. A phone to the pool I swim in each morning. I call them up all of a sudden.
Starting point is 00:14:18 1-800-SWIM. Yeah, they disconnect you to your nearest one. Your nearest body of water. So if it's a river, there's like a payphone next to the river and someone picks it up and goes, G'day, the river. Yeah, he has to make an STD call to the river, though, from here. I'll give you an STD.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Chlorine's good for that. He rings the pool and says, hey, you know that 50 metre pool you've got? How long is it really? Like it's some conspiracy. Like it's 7-Eleven JFK in the Fitzroy Public Pool. Are you a journalist? I called them up and I said, hi, your pool,
Starting point is 00:14:55 it's a 50 metre pool, isn't it? And they said, yes. Because there's signs. I know it's a 50 metre pool, but I'm just unsure about it. And they said, that's right. I said, how do you measure it? What do we think to be unsure about, though? No, it was a waste I said, how do you measure it? What do we think to be unsure about, though? No, it was a waste of time.
Starting point is 00:15:07 How do you measure it? End to end. Is that right? And she goes, that's right. And I said, and you're telling me that's 50 metres, end to end. And she said, yes. I said, oh, I said, good boy. And I thought that still didn't satisfy me, did it?
Starting point is 00:15:20 No, no. Well, it didn't. So we walked away. We went, right, let's see. This just quickly, this doesn't end with you going to a bunnings, getting a tape measure, and going down to the pool. I'm going to be really disappointed. You're skipping too far ahead.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And how did that theme song go? Did that tape measure house? So, we walked along and he... Measuring the pool every day. Wouldn't it be nice for pools to be measured? That's funny. So, we're walking away.
Starting point is 00:15:52 We're trying to go to the next pub and he's like, no, we've got to go to the pool. We've got to sort this out. And we're like, I reckon it's sorted out enough. It's called a 50 metre pool. You rang the pool, asked if the 50 metre pool Was 50 metres long I reckon it's sorted already
Starting point is 00:16:07 So I said No no no I said we're so close And then Harley I said you guys Have got nothing to do He goes I've got so little to do
Starting point is 00:16:12 And I still don't want To walk down to the pool And I said I understand that But just come down Just come He's like He's trying to put money on it
Starting point is 00:16:20 He's trying to bet us money Even though the pool people Whose one job Is to be in front of that pool All day Have told us as managers No no you've got to come down So we went down He's trying to bet us money Even though the pool people Whose one job Is to be in front of that pool all day Have told us as managers No no you've got to come down So we went down
Starting point is 00:16:28 We went down to this pool To the Fitzroy pool That's right Yeah Fitzroy pool We get there You meant to pay to get in Yeah well no The first bit is
Starting point is 00:16:35 We get there There's a giant wall In front of the pool And so From the outside No well not from the inside We didn't get there And I'd look at the pool
Starting point is 00:16:44 From the inside At the wall From the inside of the pool no, well, not from the inside. We didn't get there and I'd look at the pool from the – at the wall from the inside of the pool. But we get to the outside and it's this big brick wall and so he goes, oh, well, I reckon the pool starts about here and ends about there. So what do you reckon? So now we're guesstimating a made-up pool. He's just pointing at bricks and going, I reckon that's where a pool is
Starting point is 00:17:04 and I reckon that's where a pool is. Guesstimate isn't a real word. Yeah, it is. It's just pointing at bricks and going, I reckon that's where a pool is. And I reckon that's where a pool is. Guestimate isn't a real word. Yeah, it is. It's not. Unless they put it in the dictionary recently. It's not a real word. Guestimate? Guestimate you said. Anyway, that's fine. Moving on. I think he's going crazy. It's not a real word.
Starting point is 00:17:19 What it is, is you put two words together and it makes it that. Much like putting two 25 metre laps together to together to make a 50-metre pool. That's right. You see the grand irony of what you tried to do. We're going to have to take this out of the little Oxford Dictionary Club podcast. So do you want to just tell them how this ended? So you're trying to measure a pool.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Again, we could have stayed at the pub and measured it because we weren't looking at a pool. You're trying to make us estimate a pool that's not there. So then we walk around and go, the only way to do this properly is to go inside the pool. And Quirk, you're imagining yourself, you're sort of thinking that you're going to be like, you know, the guy who sort of tried to write out Bernie Madoff early days and no one believed him. And then he comes crumbling down.
Starting point is 00:17:58 It's like 10 years time. There's going to be this big scandal. The bloody Fitzroy public pool, they've been claiming for decades to have a 50 metre pool. Literally decades. They've been getting away with it and you were trying to speak out and no one believed you. Do you reckon he'll get a flotation device through his window with a note saying leave it alone?
Starting point is 00:18:16 No, he'll get a pool pony's head in his bed. Let it go. You're not welcome here So we go inside And it's like It gets to the end And you're like We're going to have to
Starting point is 00:18:30 Just pay and get in there So we walk inside This pool going This is insane We walk in You go up to the The girl and say I'm sorry
Starting point is 00:18:39 But can we just Go inside your pool Just to see If your 50 metre pool Is 50 metres And it's not even a nice day yesterday. So it's not like you could even just like have a swim while you're doing it. She was genuinely confused.
Starting point is 00:18:49 It's safe to say. Oh, yeah, for sure. So then – It is weird to go to a swimming pool that has a gym facility, yoga, and use none of it. Yeah. Can we just have a look at your pool? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:00 So we walk in and I can't deal with it anymore. He's talking to the girl and I can't deal with it. So I just go out to look at the pool like at the glass door and then Quirk comes rushing by and goes, we've got 30 seconds. So then we've got 30 seconds to look at the pool. So then we go out and look at the pool and go, and you just go, oh yeah, I guess it's 50 metres.
Starting point is 00:19:22 And then Brandon Maloney just started doing that thing where you walk out, the stride is each metre, that kind of thing, roughly. And he got partway up the pool and I said, how many have you done? He goes, 20. So if that's 20 metres, I looked at the rest of the guys, like, if he's already done 20, that's going to be a 50 metre pool.
Starting point is 00:19:43 It seemed impossible. It's an optical illusion. I'm going to sue the city of Fitzroy for confusing me. If you visit Melbourne, please come down to the Magic Eye pool in Fitzroy. That pool has been the subject of nearly being closed down several times. A lot of comedians, Dave O'Neill being one of them, has done fundraisers to keep it open. That was about
Starting point is 00:20:05 20 years ago, wasn't it? Yeah. So now if you want to have... I'll offer myself on the line-up if you want to do a benefit to get it shut down. I'm happy to help. Did Dave O'Neill get paid in five metres off pool? Is that why maybe it's shorter now? And then we walk out
Starting point is 00:20:22 and then all these fully grown clothed men just walk back out past the woman who's very bewildered and it's just like, sorry, have you met Rain Man before? We just had to show him the pool. And it's not busy, is it? It's like it's the middle of the day. There's like an old lady doing some stretches. That's right.
Starting point is 00:20:40 I thought it was quite good. Admittedly, I did think I was right Which makes no sense to me now But I also did it From a point of view of just brotherhood And just idiots Sounds like a fun joke I'm prepared to be the butt of the joke obviously
Starting point is 00:20:56 Not really So you had this much trouble with a pool That's in a fixed space How did you go about measuring that river That you used to swim in? Maybe that's what it is. Maybe it's like, maybe it is the Tarzan thing. Maybe it is like, you know how people
Starting point is 00:21:09 they find those lost civilisations sometimes and they've never seen... You know when people find those lost civilisations sometimes, yes. Something we've all been, something we've all been to. You know, they try and throw spears at the helicopter to take a photo. That's kind of how I am now that I'm in the city, you know.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Why are there straight lines around this water? So you just try and swim on everything. Is this like the water gods must be crazy? Is that what was happening yesterday? Pretty much. I'm too raw and I'm just not ready for these straight lines. You're one of these savages from Africa that comes out and says,
Starting point is 00:21:41 why is there a person inside that talking box? So are you going to be able to go back to the pool now? I was there this morning. Oh, okay. But weirdly that was still ringing in my ears, this 50 metre thing. So today I did about five laps and I was like, wow, that's 500 metres. I still can't count obviously but I was like – Take your phone and get one of those how far have I walked apps
Starting point is 00:22:04 and then just reset it and walk from one side to the other. That'll give you the… I think Maloney proved to me that it was going to be a 50-metre pool. So it sounds like there's still a little bit of doubt in it. Well, that's what I like. I like there's still doubt. You're still not 100% convinced. So now you think it might be like, what, 40 metres?
Starting point is 00:22:20 Well, that came up, didn't it? One of the other pools. I can't believe we forgot that point. Just richer and richer. And at one stage we talked about it being 45 metres as well, so it was quite a conversation. How did I think it was 25 metres? I'm twice as wrong.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Someone's phone is ringing. So that was their story yesterday, guys. How do you – because you don't see many things in life that are 25 metres. I know. Look, look, I know this. That's the thing. That was the thing that intrigued me, you going there and going, let's prove this once and for all.
Starting point is 00:22:56 And we're standing there going, how are we proving anything? We're just looking at a pool. Yeah, it is interesting. What this really highlights for me is how dull the conversation at the lunch must have been Before this came up I don't think it was dull How willing you were to leave and go to the pool I've never seen someone so passionate about the length of a pool
Starting point is 00:23:14 It sucked me in You need to know That's right, I was dogged about it It was strange It's like Because you sang with the butt of the dog It was like I was terminally ill And it was my last wish
Starting point is 00:23:24 Was to prove this wrong. You guys, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, please shrink the Fitzroy pool down to 25 metres. What were you saying, Luke? You said you were the butt of the joke, but it sounds like you were the leader. Were you going to go to the pub and then you convinced everyone to go to the pool instead? It was like I was exposing myself as a true idiot really. Most people would just keep that to themselves.
Starting point is 00:23:49 They wouldn't podcast about how wrong they are. But yeah, I wanted to sort of show the guys a good time basically. But it's that thing. Once you hit a certain point, you can't back out and you know deep down that you're probably going to be wrong. But you think if there's a shred of hope that you can that you're probably going to be wrong but you think that if there's a shred of hope that you can get out of it and you know not be wrong you've just got to commit.
Starting point is 00:24:11 That's exactly what it was but even I having that told to me now I know how dumb I must sound because I'm thinking it's 25 metres so if I thought it was it just didn't look 50 and it was 48 metres you'd kind of understand right? But I'm just so warped. My perception of length is apparently…
Starting point is 00:24:28 I can't wait until this fridge gets here and we can debate the depth of the fridge. And the height. And the breadth. And the temperature. The temperature. That is a problem because I'm getting a washing machine as well. Did you see how small that bathroom is? A 25-metre washing machine?
Starting point is 00:24:40 A 25-metre washing machine. It might be just a pool. At the moment, do you think this house is one foot by one foot? It's like the TARDIS. Depth perception quirk. Yeah, so that was… So you go and you swim laps? Is that what you're saying?
Starting point is 00:24:58 Well, if you want the truth, there's one lane… No, no, no. Make something up about the pool. I walk it. No, no, no. Make something up about the pool. I walk it. No, I walk on it. There's a called aqua play. There's a fast lane, a medium lane, slow lane. There's two of those each.
Starting point is 00:25:17 And then there's just one where they've made two lanes, which is just they call it aqua play. No lap swimming allowed. And that is where I swim my laps. So that is just complete anarchy. People having sex. People killing each other. I have sex in it.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Then I swim laps. Because I go there sometimes to swim laps and I get very stressed out about what lane. Because I don't know how fast. Who knows how fast they are at swimming. Can you get kicked out of the fast lane if you're not going fast enough? I guess it's just like someone smashes into you. That's my great fear is that someone's just – I get a head – just someone's head goes up my date as I'm swimming a lap
Starting point is 00:25:53 and that's how you find out you've got a getup. They don't realise they're still swimming and you're like flailing around. Is there anyone policing that? There's lifeguards. I assume it's just self-police. Like if you crash into someone Or if you get crashed into I'd assume that you're
Starting point is 00:26:08 You have to know that you're in the wrong spot I do feel like a sort of An out of touch rebel in there though Because I don't use the lockers Like I always bring my stuff out to the pool Like a weirdo And you know what I mean Or take your pants off
Starting point is 00:26:20 Yeah I strip down on the side of the pool Really? Yeah Not naked Where's your phone, yeah. Not naked. Where's your phone and stuff? Not naked. As a matter of fact, that's my next point. I've never been naked once in that pool or the change rooms
Starting point is 00:26:31 and I am surprised. You've never been naked in the pool? Well, good. I've never been naked. That's what you're supposed to do. You're letting the aqua play lines again. Anything goes. Anything goes.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Lord of the Flies. It's aqua play, Flies It's Aqua Play It's like Sim City In that one You can just build Your new civilisation Aqua Play Not Aqua Business
Starting point is 00:26:50 You can start again I can't believe how I said this to you guys Yesterday didn't I And Harley had a point That I can't believe How men Love to get nude
Starting point is 00:27:00 I'm not that guy In change rooms And Harley said Unless you've got a big penis Or old dudes love it And he's right It's older men Happy to go naked nude. I'm not that guy. In change rooms. And Harley said, unless you've got a big penis, or old dudes love it. And he's right. It's older men happy to go naked for long periods of time. Longer than if you just dried yourself
Starting point is 00:27:11 and put your clothes on. They sort of seem to just bask in it. I wonder if it's something that just clicks on in your brain where you go, I'm not long for this world. It's time to just, you know, the time it takes to take your clothes into a private change room and lock yourself in there. Who cares anymore? Time's ticking.
Starting point is 00:27:26 There is something about that. I get embarrassed about it too, but I don't know why I find it embarrassing. You're never going to see these people again and you're in a change room. I don't know why it is embarrassing. They would all recognise you though, Luke. They'd be like, there's Luke McGregor. There's Luke McGregor's penis. It's awkward too.
Starting point is 00:27:48 It is a strange inbuilt thing that we have in our heads The amount of shame we have about something that every single That we all have Do you know what I mean? It's so weird But that is the thing When people get older it's that thing of going Because all you're doing is caring what other people think of you By doing that
Starting point is 00:28:00 And when you get older you're like If you were 70 and you're looking at some 20 year old Would you really care what're like if you were 70 and you're looking at some 20 year old would you really care what they thought of you? Probably not. When I was in year 7 You can only wait
Starting point is 00:28:11 and find out. When I was in year 7 and we went on a school camp we all had to shower in the nude next to each other with a teacher watching us. Now
Starting point is 00:28:18 I don't reckon that's happening anymore. I don't reckon that's allowed to go on at my school these days. When you say you had to so was there someone saying, you've still got your undies on, take them off?
Starting point is 00:28:28 Pretty much, yeah. It was like, come on boys, in the shower, we're all doing this at once. It's the teacher watching. It's not like it's a dangerous activity that requires, it's not like you need a lifeguard. It's not like you're going to drown in the shower. Yeah, it's less likely, isn't it? These boys, if I leave them alone,
Starting point is 00:28:41 they're just going to start jacking each other off and we can't have that on this school camp. That's unsafe. But it's one of those things where just at the time it was like, you don't question it. You go, well, an adult's telling me I've got to do this, so I guess I just do it. And then looking back on it now, it's like, that's bad.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Was it the same teacher always saying they'll do the shift or was it different teachers? No, it was just the same. It was like, so it was a school camp and we just had the one teacher there for the whole time. And then you just go, so it was a school camp and we just had the one teacher there for the whole time. And then he'd just go, alright, hit the showers and then they'd just follow you. Yeah, but looking at it now it's like, I guess for him it's like as
Starting point is 00:29:11 bad as well. It's like, you know, he's like, ah, fucking great. I've got to look at a whole bunch of 14-year-old boys in the nude in a row all day, every day. What a great job I've signed myself up for. But who would have policed that? Someone above him and sort of you know, come up with that as like, well,
Starting point is 00:29:27 part of your job. Yeah, you're right. If I was that teacher, I'd just go, boys, you're just not showering for the week. Just go home stinking. Or I might turn my back or just... I'll bring a book. What's the policing of, like, get to the end of the year and it's like, well, he did really well in maths and English, but on camp he didn't take his undies off, so he's going to have to
Starting point is 00:29:44 stay back another year. That is a vital part of the curriculum. I just can't give him a proper assessment unless I can picture in my head what that dick looked like. Was there an incident in the showers the year before? Maybe it was. Because without a teacher, it's Lord of the Flies. It's the Aquaplay lane.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Hey, Luke, you've just come back from travelling heaps. Where have you been? You've been like heaps of Asia Flies. It's the Aquaplay. It's the Aquaplay line. Hey, Luke, you've just come back from travelling heaps. Where have you been? You've been like heaps of Asia, Edinburgh. Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hong Kong, then Glasgow, Edinburgh, London. Those are the, yeah, those. Kuala Lumpur was, I really liked it. Was that Roadshow? Yeah, yeah, Roadshow.
Starting point is 00:30:24 But every now and then there was just like a massive hole in the ground. Like a... What? Like while he was chasing you or something and set a trap for you. Like every now and then there was just a massive hole in the ground. In Kuala Lumpur. Yeah. So you'd just be walking around and there'd be a bit of construction work
Starting point is 00:30:38 that hadn't been finished. And they're just like, you know what, we'll just... That'll be fine. And then just a massive hole that leads into the sewer. Oh, wow. It was, I mean, not common. They weren't everywhere. But every now and then.
Starting point is 00:30:49 And how wide do you think those holes were? I guarantee you this, I bet you didn't see a single roadrunner while you were there, did you? No. Yeah, there you go. They've all been caught. But it was, but it was, it was great. But it was just, it just had, it was just stuff stuff like you're so used to having – you're seeing cones everywhere or everything taped off.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Whereas there, there was nothing like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you couldn't look at your phone and walk along. What I'm intrigued by is you being on tour there. Like there was a couple of comics over there and you guys were using Tinder in like Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Yeah, yeah. I don't know why it amazes me, but it does amaze me that it's,
Starting point is 00:31:26 you know, I think of it as like a dating thing with an eye to a long relationship. But if you're in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore for two weeks. It was weird because I've only ever had coffee date to start off with and then, you know, two or three dates. So I had one, I met So I had one date in Singapore. Oh, yeah. And it was just we met for lunch and then didn't see each other again after that. I think I'm bad at it.
Starting point is 00:31:54 I don't know. I know people use Tinder and pick up. But I haven't had that success yet. Carl, there wouldn't be many people that think the way you think about Tinder. Right, okay. I don't know. Certainly the most men I speak to. Just on there for a good time.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Yeah, I think so, absolutely. It's just a good time. Blokes, I think in particular. Ladies probably less so, hopefully. But yeah, I was on there once and apparently your profile never goes away. I just sort of, I chatted to two people once, never met them. You can delete your profile. You can take it off completely.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Yeah, right. I'd be interested to know how many people have had actual success with it. Like actually ended up in a relationship. Long term. Yeah. I'm sure people have had a fun night or whatever. But people who are in a… And also because it links you through your friends.
Starting point is 00:32:42 People who would not have found each other otherwise. Do you know what I mean? Like just through their friends. I saw a lot of people I know when I was on there. I've got some mates who are still together from meeting on OkCupid and they've been in a relationship for maybe a year now I think. Old school. Old school.
Starting point is 00:33:01 What are they, 50? So it can… But Tinder… It's hard because… I mean we talk… A lot of us talk about it in stand-up. Because you've only got a face… …and then you've just got to start chatting to each other.
Starting point is 00:33:13 And you've got no information about them. You know that… …oh yeah, so they drink alcohol because I can see them holding a margarita. And it looks like they've been to a beach. And that's all you know. And then you've got to start chatting. And so you just just seeing random stuff. Usually, have you seen True Detective?
Starting point is 00:33:28 And then you've just got to start chatting. Have you used that as an opener? When I watched Blue Jasmine, I was copying and pasting what I thought of Blue Jasmine because I thought it was a good film. So you're like live tweeting it But over Tinder I just said Hey just watch
Starting point is 00:33:47 Are you asking At David and Margaret Yeah They're finished They're quitting They're on their last show Yeah Apologise
Starting point is 00:33:55 Yeah Blue Jasmine was When I watched Blue Jasmine I was texting people Hey Just saw Blue Jasmine Great film It was wittier than that but that was pretty much the
Starting point is 00:34:07 crux of it I noticed that the short time I tried this Tinder thing that the profile picture like that a person might put up a girl will have several a shot of all their friends sometimes up to four or five people and so you
Starting point is 00:34:23 can swipe and you go I wonder which one of those five it is. And there'll just be, every photo will still be groups of people. And have you noticed this? Yeah. So there's no. You're really making this difficult. You need an individual shot. So you just have to either, I guess the only way you can do it is if you find all of them
Starting point is 00:34:39 attractive, swipe right. Or take your, just get, just get. I want all these women to be my girlfriend Yes, it's a yes from me Well that's the thing Obviously it's easier Well I would assume it's easier for girls than it is for guys And I saw
Starting point is 00:34:55 I know I've never used Tinder but I saw a girl use it the other day What do you mean you saw her? Well she was doing it in front of me Yeah That's how I saw it You watched her like a teacher And again... What do you mean you saw her? Well, she was doing it in front of me. Yeah. Yeah. You watched it. That's how I saw it. You watched it like a teacher.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Have any of you guys met... I can't believe I've got to watch this girl use Tinder. Have you ever met someone and dated someone who you met just through a customer service situation? Yes. Yes? Yeah. Customer service?
Starting point is 00:35:25 As in? Just like you, I don't know. A waitress. Like someone serving you at a restaurant or someone serving you at a... Someone was serving me in a brothel and we got married. We hit it off.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Let's get back to that though. But what were you saying there, Carl? I know. I just watched a girl do it and it was that thing where, you know, what is it? You swipe right or swipe left? Left if you're not interested.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Swipe left is... Swipe right is interested. And I just watched her go, oh, I'll just have a go at this. And she swapped right on like 20 in a row and they were all yeses. Yeah. Wow, what a world. That's very. What a world.
Starting point is 00:35:58 My friends who are girls who are on it, they get, it's just match after match. Yeah. Match after match. And then it's, which is why if you get a match on Tinder, you might not even get a – they might not even reply to you just because they're getting so many messages. I've been using this app recently that not many people are on, so it's not as good as it could be, but it's called French Girls
Starting point is 00:36:16 and it's like you take a photo of yourself and upload it and then people draw you. And then you can also go on and look at and find all these people's selfies and pick one to then do like a little drawing of on your phone. And then you hit yes. I can look at and find all these people's selfies and pick one to then do like a little drawing of on your phone. And then you hit yes. I can see why it's got that name. Yeah. French girl. You know like from Titanic like draw me like one of your French girls.
Starting point is 00:36:34 Oh okay. So it's so like. I've never seen Titanic. And people on there are brutal. Like because you can look through and it's like if you're a little bit fat people just fucking tee off. Ah look at you. You've got a big snout, you pig. And I've put a couple on and I've been smashed a lot.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Are they just writing them instead of drawing you? People are doing a lot of ones of me calling me a pedophile. So there's like – so all of the ones that have drawn me have drawn me and then little text going, where are some young boys I can find? Or no, there's one where they've drawn my tongue coming out of my mouth and then a little stick figure of a little boy bending over and my tongue is like going up his ass and I'm going yum, yum, yum, yum. And my girlfriend loves it because she just looks at it and goes,
Starting point is 00:37:18 they fucking got you good. They got you good. But yeah, and you look through the – Congratulations on being the subject of an Archibald winning prize picture again, Tommy. But you look – yeah, you look through the galleries and yeah, man, there are some like, you know, girls that look like they're 14, 15 and, you know, a little bit on the heavier side and they've – you know, God bless them, they've put their photo up,
Starting point is 00:37:39 they thought they were going to have a bit of fun and they just get fucking desecrated. It's like 500 likes. It's savage. It is really brutal. Wild. Luke, what were you saying about service industry, did you say? I'll just have you ever met someone.
Starting point is 00:37:55 You know how you've had – maybe you've had some good banter with someone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like, oh, it'd be nice to see them again. I've never had the guts to actually go, all right, let's – Yeah, when I was younger that was like my dream because I was like, oh, this is how it had happened in the movies. I met a girl once when I was maybe 19 or something and got talking to her and she'd mentioned that she worked at a Safeway but she didn't say which one.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I think I've said this on the show before. And then one day I just went, I was like, I'm going to go find her. So I just like went around to like different Safeways and tried to find if she was working. Oh, that was, yeah, the shop girl. So I had a thing in Maribor like it would have been a good thing to, the prettiest girls always worked in either the hairdresser or the chemist. So that would have been a great notch on the belt so to speak.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Yeah. For some reason. For some reason they, was that a thing in every town? It felt like a real country town thing. Hairdressers? When you lived in the Amazon Tarzan, how did it work? There were no shops. No shops?
Starting point is 00:38:50 All the hot girls were in the river. Yeah, river girls. Just bathing nude. Jane. It was just one thing on Tinder, Jane. She doesn't like me. She swiped left was the last I heard from her. So Luke
Starting point is 00:39:05 Have you got something Have you Have you had any success With Shop Girls No I've I've had I
Starting point is 00:39:12 I I remember when When we were doing Utopia There was an Extra TV show Utopia It's on ABC
Starting point is 00:39:19 Oh yeah sorry Not when you and some people Were trying to create A utopia over your own Yeah You fenced yourself off from the rest of society. Not to be confused with dystopia. Just trying to find a girl to repopulate their perfect race.
Starting point is 00:39:34 But yeah, and there was a girl who had a… I think she had one line where she had to say, I'm in marketing. I think that was her line in the show. Something like that. And we got along well And I thought I'd be nice to Catch up with her again
Starting point is 00:39:48 And But I For whatever reason I didn't do it I was We were filming another scene And then she left Before I got to say goodbye
Starting point is 00:39:54 And so I thought Oh I really liked her Maybe I should just ask for Maybe I should just Because I I knew her name Because she acted in the show
Starting point is 00:40:02 And then so Did you just know her character name? So you were looking that up? So then I Then I went The only way I could find her Was she acted in the show and then so I… Did you just know her character name? So you were looking that up? So then I went to her. The only way I could find her was to go on the website, to go to her acting website or go to like… No, the real only way to find her is to get her written back into the show and you guys totally get it on. Lead a fan campaign on Twitter the night that episode's on.
Starting point is 00:40:21 But by the time I'd sort of got… I'd found the website. The only way to like, you know, leave her a message if you had like a role for her or something. Like one of those, you know how people have generic. Contact form. Yeah, contact form. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:31 So I'm like the only way I could do it is to get on this thing. But I thought by this stage it's getting, it's too much now. I can't casually ask for coffee. Now I've done all this detective work so I just bailed on it. I couldn't. Oh. Well, if she's listening. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Yes. I want to bring up this. I think this is something that is your obsession with the pool kind of reminded me of this. I was in Sydney a couple of weeks ago and I was getting a taxi home from a gig and it was raining at night obviously and I'm just making
Starting point is 00:41:03 a bit of small talk with the taxi driver, and we're talking about advertising or something for some reason, and he goes, oh, have you heard this new thing that they're doing where they're going to start advertising in the rain? And I start laughing. It was raining at the time. And he goes, no, no, it's seriously. They're going to allow billboards to still be there while it's raining.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Is that the concept? And you look up and you're like, oh, look at that rain. Oh, Coke. This market share we're missing out on. Do you know when people only look at the footpath when there's inclement weather? But he said to me, so he goes, I'm like going, what? And he goes, no, no, I swear this is true. They're going to be doing this in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:41:39 They're starting it in Chicago because it rains a lot there. What companies are going to be able to do is they're going to be able to sort of put smells into the clouds so that then when it rains that smell will come through in the rain. So like McDonald's can put a French fry smell up in the clouds and then when it rains you'll be like, oh, I could go some French fries. Oh, really? And I'm laughing going, what?
Starting point is 00:42:00 And he goes, I promise you, it's a video, look it up, I promise you this is a real thing and I'm like okay so I get home I get back to where I'm staying and I look it up on YouTube and it is the most obvious sketch that I've ever seen so obviously
Starting point is 00:42:18 it was like by the onion or something it was so obviously a comedy bit did you hear about this guy that wanted to know who was on first I think it was on heraldsun.com you know the only thing. Did you hear about this guy that wanted to know who was on first? I think it was on heraldsun.com. You know, the only thing I don't like about this story is that I just realised I'm being equated to that cab driver. Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:36 That's the only thing I don't like about the story. It's quite good otherwise. Because the shame was it was too late by that. Like I'd gotten out of the cab and I'd realised it and I was like, I've got to save this guy because he's just going to go around telling this to everyone and Barrett making an idiot out of himself. A little go-to conversation piece. And it was an Uber thing and I'd already raided him and I was like,
Starting point is 00:42:56 I wish I could go back and give him two stars for being a fucking idiot and trying to spread. I wonder how successful that, because I think it's the thing where they have... You know the marketing where they have someone in a shop going... Talking to someone else going, man, that soup tastes real nice. And someone... While someone's in the
Starting point is 00:43:15 soup aisle. What? It's advertising, so it's... It's sort of subliminal. Like while you're in the place, they're paying someone to stand there and join the party They pay someone to go Man I love that jumper I've heard this is happening
Starting point is 00:43:28 It's a real thing I haven't heard of that happening And you're already in there No but it doesn't matter It's the same way advertising works isn't it Yeah they pay people to be in the shop Boy the little dum-dum club podcast is excellent Is that working?
Starting point is 00:43:43 How do you get that job? Why can't we have that job? You just sit in Maccas and talk about how good Maccas is. I'm positive that's a real thing. They have people in the store and they talk about how good the products are. Where did you see it? You're already in the store. There's a name for it.
Starting point is 00:43:57 No, but they talk about doing it in the street and stuff. Like paid actors just walk past. Isn't that horrific? The people that pay to sell stuff to talk about brands and things. I can't remember what it's called. Yeah, it's like a branding kind of thing. They might even do it on trains, you know? You always don't need paid – because people crap on so much anyway.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Like the way you guys talk about McDonald's. They should be bloody paying you. Yes, you're absolutely correct. Are we paying Quirk to say that? Yeah, McDonald's. Don't eat at McDonald's. Don't eat at McDonald's. Don't eat at McDonald's. We'll tidy that up in edit.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Don't eat at the great restaurant McDonald's. You should be sponsored by chlorine for all the work that you did for public pools the other day. You should be sponsored by the metric system. I'm real imperial, aren't I? I'm an imperial fighter. You should be sponsored by the clothing brand Rivers because of your heritage. Keep going.
Starting point is 00:44:49 This is good refuge. All right. You should be employed by Fuckheads Company. Shit. And that's all we have time for. So, Luke McGregor, did you have any luck with the ladies When you were overseas? No I

Starting point is 00:45:54 Oh, we just had a bit of off mic. Off mic, I believe he was saying there's a girl in the house at the moment. Is that what that is? A wife and kids are in the cupboard. Are you banging the fridge delivery guy? Is that what's going on? Are you about to give him 25 metres of McGregor? 50 if he goes twice.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Well, I do believe that is all the time we have for today on the Little Dum Dum Club. Luke and Dave, anything you guys would like to plug? If anyone wants to help me clean up... So you're just plugging that to us three, really? If anyone wants a miscellaneous USB drive or Frisbee, I'm giving them away. You were throwing out a 50 cent coin before
Starting point is 00:46:43 because it had some dirt on it. It was really dirty. I fished it back out though, didn't I? And washed it. Oh, did you? And if anyone wants it, it'll still be here.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Can I have these nunchucks? Oh yeah, you've got nunchucks here. Yeah. Yeah. That's got to be the most surprising item in Luke McRee's house,
Starting point is 00:46:58 surely. Hey, Napoleon Dynamite made them not cool anymore when he said nunchuck skills. I swear before that they were cool. So did you get in on the nunchucks before Napoleon Dynamite came in? Yeah, I was back inunchuck skills. I swear before that they were cool. So did you get in on the nunchucks before Napoleon Dynamite came in?
Starting point is 00:47:07 Yeah, I was. They are cool. And then you saw that scene and you were like, oh, they've ruined it. 80 bucks down the drain. They've got official nunchucks. They've got pictures of Bruce Lee on them. So they're official. Yeah, they're the real deal.
Starting point is 00:47:23 I went to a I went to a martial arts store two days ago and really bought some bought some shoes to practice in
Starting point is 00:47:34 I just I thought I thought about I want to start a self defense you think you know someone then they drop the whole martial arts angle on you
Starting point is 00:47:40 don't they I used to do it when I was a little kid and I just thought it would be fun to start it up again I haven't been yet. What would be your thing? What's your favourite karate?
Starting point is 00:47:49 Wing Chun Kung Fu. Wing Chun Kung Fu, really? The real thing? Apparently it's what Bruce Lee did. It is, it is. But anyway, I was talking about, because they had all these weapons there, and I'm just like, can I buy a,
Starting point is 00:47:59 can I just buy a bo staff? Yeah. Because it's just this massive staff that's bigger than you and I'm like, can I just buy, and they go, yeah, 50 bucks.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Are you going to kick start this new thing at Comedy Festival? Like, you know, everyone does a song at the end of their show now. You next year, you just kick the shit
Starting point is 00:48:14 out of someone in your audience. That's a McGregor merch next year. Just a Luke McGregor sigh. I got assaulted by Luke McGregor. I asked him about nunchucks and nunchucks you need a weapons license.
Starting point is 00:48:28 So I don't know. These are not official. I'm not allowed to have those. They're toy. I think they're like for illegal. You've got to have a weapons license. So how did you get these? Just a friend got them for my birthday.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Just ordered them online. I guess I don't check them that thoroughly. Black market. Hey, if he can't talk about what happened in London, he bloody sure can't talk about those nunchucks. I just love that they're just out, like, ready for use. They're just sitting on your couch. It's like, oh, well, I better get these out
Starting point is 00:48:56 because, you know, you never know when I'm going to need to... Do a demonstration. Yeah, you never know. The fridge delivery guy might turn up and then he pulls a mask off and it's fucking Shredder himself. Yeah, yeah. And you've got to take mask off and it's fucking Shredder himself. And you've got to take him down.
Starting point is 00:49:07 He brings a two-star. Or Crang. Rebop and Rocksteady are moving the fridge in. Michael Bay needs a scene pick-up. We didn't quite get it. He brings over a two-star rating fridge and goes, no, sir, not on my watch. Maybe. One of three.
Starting point is 00:49:21 That was one of the longest and most bizarre plugs that's ever happened on the show. Quirk? Mine, I've got nothing to say. Cool. that was one of the longest and most bizarre plugs that's ever happened on the show quirk mine I got nothing to say nothing just I'm eating McDonald's
Starting point is 00:49:32 eating McDonald's and if you have time go to the swimming pool in North Fitzroy and just see what you think bring a tape
Starting point is 00:49:40 measure to the Fitzroy pool I'd say trundle wheel but yeah oh okay what's a trundle wheel? You know, those wheels that people... Yeah, you wheel them along.
Starting point is 00:49:47 You know, so click, click, click. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I use that pool frequently, and it is an excellent public pool, so shout out to the pool. Why don't we try and podcast this live from there one day? Seriously. In the middle of summer, on that grass area. We'll get a bunch of people in there. That would be pretty great if we did that on the grass area in the middle of summer.
Starting point is 00:50:01 That's a cool idea, I think. Yeah. All right. Okay, give it two or three months. Let the weather warm up. If there is one way that we can prove the length of a pool, did that on the grass area. That's a cool idea, I think. All right. Give it two or three months. Let the weather warm up. If there is one way that we can prove the length of a pool, it is on an audio medium. It's to podcast.
Starting point is 00:50:10 We should. The Little Dumb Dumb Club pool party is an excellent idea. Why don't we... I'll bring them out. You know what we can do? We'll cast pods and rods. That's... We'll try and...
Starting point is 00:50:22 We can... You know what we can do? We can somehow fashion a little buggy for us and we can do it live on the little buggy and we can move one metre per minute and see how long it takes us to get to the end of the pool. It's a 15 minute podcast. Oh man. And yeah, 25 minutes, like A, quirks right and B, people don't have to listen to as much of our shit as they normally do
Starting point is 00:50:45 so everyone wins. I'm looking forward to this. I look forward to consigning that to the great barrel of ideas that we've had on the podcast and they've done nothing about it. I'll keep on you. Have you done a special theme-y one?
Starting point is 00:50:58 You did one. We did it live from McDonald's. The McDonald's one, yeah. But have you done like a... Like a what? I don't know. I'm just making an emotion with my hand. Sneaking into McDonald's. The McDonald's one, yeah. But if you've done like a... Like a what? I don't know. I'm just making an emotion with my hand.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Sneaking into McDonald's isn't good enough. That wasn't good. Oh, yeah, because they didn't know that we were in there. Yeah. So that's good.
Starting point is 00:51:15 And as a plug, Luke McGraw, you're on Utopia. That's on at the moment. Yes, we've got two left, I think. My big nunchuck scene's coming up.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Oh, thank you. You're right. Oh, this is a prop. Oh, awesome. No, it is not. It's a no nunchuck scene's coming up. Oh, thank you. You're right. Oh, this is a prop. Oh, awesome. No, it is not. It's a nunchuck scene, unfortunately. But it will be when my space opera movie comes out. We've got the live podcast happening in Perth on Sunday, November 2nd

Starting point is 00:51:53 Perth Aquatic Centre. Do you want to go to the podcast or the solo show? Because they're on the same time. Yeah, we sometimes do them all at the same time.

Starting point is 00:52:13 shout out if I mean this is very loose and I haven't consulted you Tommy about this but I think we should kick you out of the show
Starting point is 00:52:20 no the other idea that I had was even though it's a joke I am fine with that I had was I had two. Even though it's a joke I am fine with that. I had two ideas. Do we have time? Maybe we should be doing
Starting point is 00:52:30 another Melbourne podcast and maybe another Sydney podcast before the end of the year. Yeah, definitely. Give us a yell if you're into that. That's happening
Starting point is 00:52:36 at the pool in Melbourne. I'm telling you. Yeah. I'm making sure. In like December maybe. Early December. Okay, well that's a good idea in the summer.
Starting point is 00:52:43 So there'll be lots of people there that will be very They'll be so distracted they won't even think about measuring the pool. It'll be such a good idea in the summer so people there'll be lots of people there that will be they'll be so distracted they won't even think about measuring the pool it'll be such a good time why don't you do like a thing where you say
Starting point is 00:52:50 you get people who listen to the podcast to send in I bet you can't do it here suggestions and then try and get one of them so try and get a really bad location well you don't have to
Starting point is 00:53:02 you don't have to take every suggestion I like the idea of us doing a live podcast from the pool really bad location. Well, you don't have to take every suggestion. I like the idea of us doing a live podcast from the pool, then paying to get into the pool, but then us immediately
Starting point is 00:53:11 after the door going, oh, can we have ten bucks as well? Yeah, so people paying double entry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:18 But that's fair. I mean, if you go in there, you pay to get in, then you pay to get an ice cream from the canteen. Yeah. So you're paying
Starting point is 00:53:24 for the entertainment of the podcast. Maybe we can have a dum-dum canteen. We'll just do it in the change rooms. Fully nude with my year 7 teacher watching us. There we go.
