This episode of The Little Dumb Dumb Club is brought to you by Yalla Chocolate Mousse.
Carl, a lot of people emailing me and tweeting me to say that they're very annoyed at the fact that I say
bought instead of brought.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I've received several lengthy emails from these fucking self-policing, not self-policing,
policing me about my youth, and you know what?
I've had that message passed on to me for you before as well.
Yeah, and it's like I know the difference.
Who fucking cares?
Like if that's the – like to sit down and write an email about that.
So that's the thing wrong with our show.
Exactly.
And also if that's the worst part of your day that you have to sit down and write an email about a stray R in a word.
You know what I mean.
Yeah.
And also, I would make the argument, they've given us money to be on this show.
Yep.
They've bought you the show.
They've bought, they've paid, they're buying into this show.
All right.
So, I would argue that it's not even that incorrect.
Right.
Anyway, yellow chocolate mousse.
Yeah.
Oh, I got really negative after such a lovely sentiment.
Yellow chocolate mousse are bringing us something.
Yes.
Oh.
Yes.
Go home to a loved one, give them a tub of chocolate mousse, and be like, hey.
Bring them or bing them?
Because even then, you're like, I brought you this, but also you paid for it, so you've
bought it to them.
Yeah.
Okay.
Anyway, next time we do these, that's it.
I'm going to write down a list of all the names of people who tweeted me and emailed me.
All right.
And I'm going to put them on notice.
Right.
I've had it.
Yeah.
I've fucking had it.
Finally, you're in my world.
Good.
What do you get?
Do you ever get told that you're saying words wrong?
Oh, no.
I just get everything else.
I just get – I just get – oh, look, I don't want to say it.
There's a lot to work with, I guess.
Yeah, then people will send me messages.
But I...
Look, put it this way.
People that are hitting me up on the phone,
I am blocking nearly everyone that hits me up at this stage.
I just get...
Especially you fucking idiots.
Look, here's the thing.
Have I said this before?
Here's the thing.
If you're a fucking idiot that blocks your number and then rings me,
I'm not answering the phone.
So you're not affecting me in any way.
So be a little bit courageous.
Put your own number up.
Because then all they do is just ring up.
And then on the rare, rare straight chance that I answer the phone,
they just then not answer, not talk, and just breathe into the phone.
I go, okay, nice one.
See ya.
That was good.
That was worth it.
So use your own fucking number if you're going to do that.
Can I get back to the mispronunciation thing?
A comedian that has been on this show that we both know at my gig last night was pronouncing
it expresso on stage.
Oh.
Yeah.
Let's not say it.
Maybe you know who it is.
Yeah.
But you could feel everyone in the room going, ugh.
And he said it so many times, he or yeah said it so many times that it felt like
it was going to be a bit do you know what i mean like the end of the bit was going to be where's
this guy imagine being one of those people that pronounces it like that yeah but there wasn't it
and it's weird how tense it makes a room when everyone knows that someone is saying something
wrong yeah like oh man it was like nails on a chalkboard it was full on expresso just every
time oh it's like if someone just like said arcs every single time in their routine and then never.
Anyway, Yalla Chocolate Mousse.
It's pronounced Yalla.
Well, a lot of people, you know what?
It took me full five minutes, ten minutes the other day.
Someone sent me a message.
There are overseas listeners, obviously, and it's a little bit hard to order an I'm Aware
t-shirt or hoodie.
Someone, I forwarded you one.
Someone wants one from like San Antonio, Texas or something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A lot of American and European people are sending us messages about that.
And then we tend to quote them.
I quote them the price of what it takes.
And then I never hear from them again.
And which is like, because they're already, the shirts in our dollar Are very reasonably priced
Factor into that
The US dollar is
Smashing us at the moment
Oh you know what
They're paying like
Three dollars for a t-shirt
Yeah
I bought a t-shirt
I did my first ever
Buying off ASOS
Oh yeah
The website the other day
And I was like going
Oh wow
This t-shirt's only 40 bucks
This is a pretty sweet deal And then I look at our shirts I'm like They're oh, wow, this T-shirt's only $40. This is a pretty sweet deal.
And then I look at our shirts.
I'm like, they're $25.
We're fucking idiots.
What did you buy off ASOS?
Just a couple of T-shirts.
Okay.
Of what?
Of what?
Yeah, of what?
What design?
What are you getting on ASOS that you couldn't just go down the shop and get?
Or is this it?
Have you given up?
Do you not want to ever leave the house again?
You're just buying stuff that you could.
Hey, I've only just done it. You can't classify me as some shunning when this is the
first time i've ever done it yeah no i like to see the beginning of the process i like to know
when i'm on the cusp of someone's life just completely changing no because i'm a busy man
because you used uber for the first time the other day yeah we should save this for an actual episode
but i'm fascinated by you finally what getting your thumb off its fat ass and downloading the app.
Yes.
Well, every time I need a taxi, there's a taxi there.
So I just do that.
So, yeah, ASOS.
Man, so I got a couple of T-shirts and it made me think, man, we should be putting the price of those T-shirts up about.
We should be getting our stuff listed on ASOS.
Yeah.
Can we do that?
I think you can.
Oh, really?
No, I don't know.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Because they have all sorts of different brands on there. It's just turning into an ad for ASOS. Yeah. Let's get Yala stocked on ASOS is what we should do. Yeah. Can we do that? I think you can. Oh, really? No, I don't know. Maybe. Maybe. Because they have all sorts of different brands on there.
It's just turning into an ad for ASOS.
Yeah.
Let's get yellow stocked on ASOS is what we should do.
Yeah.
So, anyway, someone from America ordered a hoodie or attempted to order a hoodie the
other day and then said at the end of it, and this will become obvious as I say it,
but it wasn't obvious to me.
Yeah.
So, if you can send a t-shirt over and send me some of that yellow mousse.
And I was like, oh, is this a joke?
Like, you know, don't eat the yellow snow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Piss in a tub of moose and send it to me.
But they meant, I think the Americans think we're pronouncing it like yowler.
Oh, like how they all think your name is Kyle.
Yes.
They think we're saying yellow, but that's how we pronounce it over here.
Yowler.
Yowler.
Hey, don't be scared.
Don't be yowler.
Or maybe they just mean like when Yowler gave us that box of what we thought was mousse
and we opened it up and it was hummus.
Oh, yeah.
That was yellow mousse.
It was yellow.
Hummus is kind of yellowy.
That was yellow.
Anyway, it's a great mousse.
Eat it up.
Anyway, moving on.
I bought some yesterday.
Did you really?
Yeah.
It was great. Cool. Eat it up. Anyway, moving on. I bought some yesterday. Did you really? Yeah. It was great.
Cool.
Worth interrupting me for?
Yes, because it shows the listeners that I eat what I endorse.
Yeah, that's true.
That's a good point.
Okay, so the 300th episode, we announced it last week.
It's been on sale for a week, and it is basically three quarters sold out at this point.
I dare say by this time next week, all gone.
What do you think of that for a prediction?
Well, look, I would like to say to people just go and get a ticket now because-
Don't sleep on this.
Yeah.
Don't Adelaide it up.
Yeah.
You're in no danger of Adelaide it up unless you're coming from Adelaide and then you may
be a massive chance.
Book the flights.
Book the hotel.
Tickets can wait till the day before.
Yeah.
massive chance.
Book the flights.
Book the hotel.
Tickets can wait until the day before.
Yeah, yeah.
What if we get,
what if we, you know,
this gets everyone
so excited that we get
more people from Adelaide
coming to this show
than go to the Adelaide shows?
It's,
that's barely even a joke
what you just said.
I feel like that's just
what's actually going to happen.
Well, it feels like,
you know,
a lot of people come from
interstate for the
Comedy Festival show,
so you're a big chance
of coming for the
big 300 show.
Yeah. Yeah.
So get on to it, Adelaide.
We're like the Denny Ute muster at this point.
People just coming in from all around.
Let's get so many people from Adelaide flying into this gig
that at the end we can fly them for the next time we go to Adelaide.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Yes.
We finally get them coming.
Let's charter a plane.
Let's one of us get our pilot's license.
We can fly up to Adelaide and then fly our punters back,
like Iron Maiden style.
Well, look, that reminds me.
Driving to Adelaide from here would take quite a while,
but that is exactly what we're planning on doing.
On top of the 300th episode, in the next couple of weeks,
we don't have dates absolutely locked in yet,
but they're very close to being locked in.
We're going to go to Canberra and Sydney.
Yes, yes.
So finally, your first time in Canberra.
Canberra, you guys have been, I reckon you guys are the next biggest amount of people
complaining about that we haven't been there yet, so we're going to come there.
Yeah, this is the next city that we can visit where people just beating down our door to
get us to do a gig there where we can then announce it and have three of you show up.
Yeah.
Every other city has had their turn.
Yeah.
It's your guys' turn now.
All right.
Yeah, well, that'll be interesting.
Now, Canberra, I believe in you.
You're not Adelaide, surely.
I mean, we shouldn't bag Adelaide because Adelaide have been pretty good.
They turn out in the end.
They just take their sweet-ass time.
It's just a very stressful lead time.
We should just announce Adelaide gigs with two days' notice.
Yeah.
Why do we put them on?
Because no one pre-books anyway.
Let's just announce on Twitter that we're going tomorrow.
Yeah, pop-up gig.
I guarantee you we'll get the same amount of people.
Yeah, that's not a bad idea.
Pop-up gig.
Yeah.
So, yeah, Canberra and Sydney, we are working out the details at the moment.
They're both going to be within the next couple of months.
So, yeah, keep an eye on the Twitter, at DumDumClub.
We're on Facebook.
If you don't like us on those things, get on there and do it.
That's the best way to find out as soon as we announce that stuff.
But it is happening very, very soon.
Get on Instagram.
We're on Instagram as well.
So you know what?
We don't say this very much, but get on all those social medias because we put a lot of
visual and funny stuff up during the week and whatever that doesn't make it to the podcast.
We share a lot of great posts from the Lad Bible.
So it's your best way to keep in touch.
Keep up with all the memes that are going on out there.
And if not, follow the Fat Jew because he shares a lot of our stuff.
on out there. And if not, follow the Fat Jew because he shares a lot of our stuff.
I just gave myself a headache trying to work Dilruch into a Fat Jew reference.
The Fat Chew.
Chewer.
Okay, so littledumbdumbclub.com.
Guys, seriously, don't sleep on it.
There's 300 tickets.
Saturday, June the 25th.
They are moving so quickly.
They're moving like yellow moose.
Get onto our website because we've got all our merch on there.
We've got the t-shirts.
We've got the hoodies.
The hoodies are actually selling quite a bit now that the weather's turned a bit colder.
We sold like four hoodies yesterday in 24 hours.
Great.
We're going to have to reorder some.
They look good.
They're a good cut.
I tried one on the other day.
They feel nice.
They're nice and warm. They look great. They're a good cut. I tried one on the other day. They feel nice. They're, yeah, nice and warm.
They look great.
Yeah.
They smell really good.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, not the one you just wore, but yeah, sure.
All right, guys.
Enjoy this episode with Sam Mack and Adam Knox, and we'll see you out there real soon.
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 opposite me, the other half of the show, Carl Chan.
G'day, dickhead.
We've recorded in a lot of hotel rooms in our time, but this might be the best one, I reckon.
This is massive.
I feel like, guys at home, can you hear the echoes happening here?
We're in such a big place.
It feels like we're recording in the Grand Canyon of hotel suites.
It's massive.
This is great.
We've got a bit of Foreign Correspondent on in the background.
Thank you.
Just to make that real-life thing.
Thank you to Channel 7 for putting us up in this hotel room.
We're putting someone up, not us.
Well, let's bring our guest in.
First of all, making his debut on the show,
you may know him from Melbourne sketch comedy group Chimp Cop.
He's also one of my co-hosts on the other podcast that I do
called Filthy Casuals.
Welcome in for the first time, Adam Knox.
Bloody g'day.
Hello.
Finally someone famous on this podcast.
Finally.
You raced over here straight from the cinema.
We were texting you.
You were in the session.
We didn't know if the messages were getting through.
They were, but I wasn't checking my phone.
Like three people next to me were the whole time.
Oh, really?
They had other podcasts or something.
Because this was the thing.
I figured you was the kind of rat bag that would have your phone out the whole way through the film.
Nah.
Checking your texts.
But you're not.
I don't get any, usually.
So I don't have to.
You're not walking in today going,
I'll keep the phone on in case the little dumb-dum club call up and ask me to come and do the podcast.
Yeah, because I'm inside.
I can't see the dum-cunt signal flashing in the sky.
Also joining us, the current actual resident of this hotel room.
You may know him from a sweet hotel room.
From room 506.
Please welcome back into the little dum-dum club, Sam Mack.
Hello, guys.
Good to be back.
And this is what happens when your hotel is booked under the name emder is that the secret yeah take whatever you
want from the mini bar or yours help yourselves oh great great that would be that would be awesome
there's a huge mirror in the corner that's like detached from the wall that i genuinely have no
idea how you move how you would move it it's an enormous mirror that is a weird i did think that
like it's kind of everything else in here
is so nice and crisp
and then that just makes it
look a bit unfinished.
Yeah.
Like that's literally
Like the room is so huge.
Yeah.
You do not need a big mirror
to make it look bigger.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Is this what's going to happen now?
You guys are going to like
critique the room
and like keep making
eye contact with me
like I've set up the whole room.
Oh, Sam has to have
a full length mirror
at all times.
It's that tall poppy syndrome.
Now you're on that sweet weather man coin. We've got to bring you down
a little bit. The hotel rooms, they're putting you up
in art. I bought a new mirror the other day.
That's what I've got going on in my room.
Just a bit of leaning against the wall gear
because I can't be fucked to get adhesive to put
it up on the wall.
Someone genuinely needs to make their room look bigger.
That's you. You don't
need that here. You need your room to look bigger.
Well, that's not the sole purpose of a mirror though.
No, but every-
No, one other thing.
Every time you go to hang that mirror,
you have to look at yourself and realise,
oh, I can't lift this on my own.
There's no way of me doing this.
It's kind of what it is.
Yeah.
It's a little bit like, look at you.
You're fucking pathetic.
You're not a handyman.
You don't know what you're doing.
Yeah, that is literally what a mirror is saying.
Look at you. Yeah, just watch
your reflection as you get your phone out and call your dad
and ask him to come and do it for you, you fucking
hopeless schmuck.
Sam, you are the weatherman on Sunrise
now, which is depressing to a
lot of much more experienced meteorologists
that should rightfully
have the gig.
I got a question for you. What the fuck's going on out there right now, mate?
Explain this.
You know what's going on.
I don't even know why we bother with Melbourne.
We should just skip over Melbourne and go straight to Cairns.
Yeah, get rid of you and put in Neil Finn to bloody give the Melbourne forecast.
Yes.
Four seasons in one day.
Topical.
Well done.
All the hottest hits on the Little Dumb Dumb podcast with Carl Chandler.
What if we poach you from sunrise and we make you the official
Dum Dum Club weatherman?
We'll give out your number on the air every episode
and whenever people are listening, if they're curious what the forecast
is going to be the rest of the day, they call you up.
There's no quicker way to check your weather on your phone.
Yeah, that's right.
Don't make me redundant.
Do I still get to stay in the Como if I'm the weatherman
of the Little Dum Dum Club?
If that Patreon gets up with enough money.
Yeah, sure.
Do they still have that thing where you ring up with the talking clock?
Do they still have that?
Yeah, that still exists.
You can still ring up the talking clock?
Yeah.
That's weird because now, what, 90% of people would be on their mobiles rather than the
landline.
Yes.
So you're ringing up the talking clock on something that has a clock on it.
You have to look at the clock and just mistrust it
and then call up somebody else.
No, four o'clock it says here.
Time to call up the talking clock.
I think I've said this on the show before,
but my parents, like, dad, every time he emails,
will include, the subject line will just be in caps,
the day of the week that it is.
Like, they don't realise that all that stuff is automated.
I tell them all the time, they'll leave a voicemail
and they'll timestamp it themselves
And they'll always be wrong
It'll be like, message received 2pm
And they'll go, yeah it's mum
It's about quarter past three
When they film a video as well, we got a new dog
And my parents have been filming it a lot
And every time they film a new dog they go
It's about three o'clock on a Thursday afternoon
I don't know why they need to timestamp
Just a video of a dog as well.
It's like a ransom note.
When they hold up the newspaper.
Well, that was the thing.
When I started the role
as weatherman, I had a lot of
mates contact me and
congratulations, all of that.
But genuinely thought that I was a meteorologist.
Genuinely thought that
I had been, I didn't know how long you've been
TAFE or how did you do it?
No, no, I'm just going to be
bungee jumping and eating the world's hottest chilli.
Do you have, when you
do it off-site, do you have
an actual meteorologist there handing you the
paper? Yeah, what happens? Going like, I could have fucking
done this, but no, alright, here we go.
Yeah, but he's got no charisma.
Can't have a bald guy in a lab coat on TV, no.
No, we have a producer.
But Koshi is on there.
Actually, there'd also be some pissed off wives of AFL players
that missed out on the gig.
Oh, yeah, yeah, a lot of missed calls from Bec Judd.
No, we have a producer who actually holds a clipboard.
I don't know why they still have a clipboard in this age of iPads and other devices.
They've still got a weatherman, of course.
They still have a clipboard.
That's true, actually.
Yeah, that's a fair point.
And, yeah, during that, we obviously were not on screen while we're reading the forecast.
It's a pretty long forecast.
You go into details about what sort of winds people are going to get.
Does that affect your day?
Like, do you wake up and think, I need to know what sort of winds are oncoming today?
I'll tell you what.
If it wasn't for weather forecasts,
I would never have heard of Orbost.
Oh, really?
That comes up all the time.
What is that?
It's a place maybe just into New South Wales.
It always gets a good run.
I thought you were saying that was like a weather condition.
It's a little bit Orbost out there at the moment, everyone.
That's not in my glossary of terms.
Bairnsdale gets a lot of mentions, as does Strawn for these parts.
Strawny?
Yeah.
Strawn.
Yeah, good branding for Pete Hellyer.
Wrong network.
Strawn, I've never heard of that.
Yeah, Strawn gets a lot of shout outs.
I bet these are the places where you get the most people calling up the station saying,
why didn't they say the weather for Strawn today?
Yeah.
And so that's why they do it, because no one from Sydney is going to call up and go like,
hey, I didn't know the weather today.
But you live in Sydney, you've got a phone. Literally, I didn't know the weather today. But you live in Sydney.
You've got a phone.
Literally, I never look at the weather and I'm always –
Turple.
I'm always –
Is that why you brought me here today, Tommy,
to my hotel room next to the mirror to do that?
Yeah, what should I wear tomorrow?
It's just – I'm just constantly – I'm either too cold or I'm too hot
and I still – I literally am just walking around going,
God, I wish there was another way.
I never think to look at it before I leave the house.
I actually do exactly the same thing, yeah.
Yeah.
Like it's too hot for what you're wearing at the moment.
Yeah.
But I was in a cinema though.
That's true.
It's a difference in generation.
Like my dad, for example, would never watch you doing your job
because he's just watching the weather channel.
Really?
He can't just hang out every half an hour for you every morning.
He wants all weather all the time.
So is he that committed to it that he never gets to actually experience that weather?
So he's just like watching and he knows what the weather is.
He never gets rained on because he knows it's coming.
So he just stays inside and just keeps it.
It's like OJ Simpson driving down the highway.
He's like, I can't leave now.
I might miss something.
Wow.
My dad is like OJ Simpson.
He's like watching OJ Simpson. Carl Chandler.
He's like watching OJ Simpson. There's your promo grab for this episode.
When we buy an ad in the middle of sunrise, we play that bit.
It's too bad we don't title these things with a little quick grab
from what happened in the show.
And this is episode number what?
292.
Are you impressed by that?
I suppose so.
It's a lot of numbers.
When have you ever done 292 of anything?
292 episodes to invite this dickhead on.
Yeah, congratulations on being the first first-time guest
to not make reference to that when we introduced you.
Oh, thanks for having me on.
Yeah, no, no.
I mean, people always do that.
People go, oh, fucking took you bloody long enough to invite me on the show.
I knew I didn't deserve it.
How many other people?
How many other people were busy?
Do you guys, do you have a favourite episode?
This one.
This one's shaping up pretty good so far to me.
No, they're all pretty good.
You know what?
The ones that aren't any good stick in my mind a bit easier.
What's the worst episode then?
No, we can't name people.
Can we go back to...
Do you get into any of this?
What's this feels like bullshit
that you're all doing now
with the weather?
I'm not doing that.
I know exactly
what you're talking about.
But no, I've made a stand on that.
I refuse...
If they came to you
and they said
this has come on from on high,
you now have to do a bit of
it's 17,
but it feels like 19.
What are you doing?
Are you walking?
Well, I mean, I say that, but if the big boss said, I'd probably do anything.
What's the world record between actual temperature and feels like?
Can you go how far apart?
One degree.
I've never seen it be more than like one or two degrees.
Okay, because you can't go, it's 27, feels like 37.
Well, it depends. Like if you are suffering from hypothermia and then you travel to,
you know, let's say the Simpson Desert,
and then you would imagine there'd be quite a disparity between the two.
Yeah, but you can't account for that on every broadcast.
You can't go through.
Well, I think they've been overlooked for too long.
Maybe it started in the same way you were saying, Knox,
about the people in small towns calling up and complaining.
It's like...
You said it was 17, but I'm out of here and it's 21 for sure.
I've got a good mind to shut the fridge here and go outside.
This is fucked.
Now I've got gangrene.
My leg's fucked.
What has been quite interesting is obviously, like,
Sunrise is a big show and a lot of people watch that.
All right, mate, we get it.
And I'm very successful.
And that's the end of the sentence.
What has been really interesting is I'm not used to getting like live feedback,
blow by blow, constant, obviously social media, like direct to you,
direct to your inbox, direct to you all the time, every time you're on.
Oh, you should do a podcast.
You know what has been the big talking point?
And this baffles me,
and the thing that I'm actually getting passionate complaints about
is the fact that I have my top button done up.
Oh, I did notice that this morning because I'm an actual watcher of Sunrise.
Thank you.
And I did look at you this morning because you were saying
you made some flippant joke about looking like you were still from the 80s.
I was like, no, you've got your top button done up.
You don't look like you're from the 80s.
You've been waiting all day to do that.
It's in my face cup.
Yeah, I'm interested in the top button thing
because it's a fashion choice that I've rallied against for a long time
and I think I've realised a big part of my hold up with it
is because I think I'm just too fat to pull it off as a look.
It's too – I mean, hey, this guy over here,
this guy knows what I'm talking about.
I've tried to do it before at like weddings.
You ate your top button.
My top button is just a little donut.
It's impossible.
So I didn't do it for any great meaning.
Like there was no, oh, he's got a philosophy behind that.
You know, what does he really mean?
Oh, well, that shattered my theory.
I just did it because like occasionally I would do it like on a night out or whatever. So it looks a bit different. I'll philosophy behind that. What does he really mean by the top? Well, that shattered my theory. Let's try to read into it. I just did it because occasionally I would do it on a night out or whatever.
It looks a bit different.
I'll just do that.
But people are furious.
People are genuinely like, hey, you're doing a good job,
but you really need to undo that top button
and you need to get some shirts that suit you.
Yeah, it's the most divisive fashion thing of the moment, I think.
But the fact that they're so furious has made me commit to it.
Now it's my thing.
Now I'm like, I'm going to just ride this and see how far it goes.
It makes you slightly warmer as well.
Like if it's like 17 but it feels like 14 outside,
it does actually make you slightly warmer.
And I wish I could do it sometimes.
They should get rid of the feels like thing.
That's what it should be.
It should just be how many buttons on your shirt should you go up.
It's like, look, I know it says this, but really I'm out here.
I'm done up all the way. I'm feeling just right.. It's like, look, I know it says this, but really I'm out here. I'm done up all the way.
I'm feeling just right.
Or it's like, you know what?
It might look a little overcast, but I'm three down and I'm feeling good.
Well, I'm not trying to like, you know, make this a bigger thing than it already is.
And I didn't come on this podcast just to promote the fact that I do my top button up
in every episode.
But it is with great pleasure that I reveal to you guys that it does have its own official
hashtag.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Hashtag the curious case of Sam's top button.
You can't tweet anything else with that.
That's amazingly long.
Is it because people find it pretentious?
What is it about the top button that they have a problem with?
I think it's just different.
And I think it's just...
It's not early morning fashion.
People at 7.30 don't want to people at seven yeah i think what it is
is when it first started happening it was like a real kind of like lad culture thing it was like
a real like fred perry polo shirt done all the way up you know what i mean it was real like kind of
like young roughnecks that you'd see in the city and i think people still kind of associate it with
that i kind of like have those same guys that used to have the collar up all the time? Yes, it's the next iteration of that.
It's the younger brothers of those
guys. With the same
shirts.
I can't even remember the name of that brand anymore where they
used to pop their collar. Ralph
Loren. Tommy Hilfiger?
No, the ones that used to be like the human punchline
for everyone's jokes. Ed Hardy.
Ed Hardy.
How quickly we forget.
Yeah.
Because, yeah, they went...
I know a bunch of their shops closed down.
I assume the brand is just done.
But enough douchebags liked it that there must still just be a market
for it just online, like on an online store.
I reckon the fakes are still going in Bali.
Do you reckon that's ever happened where, like, a brand has complete...
Like, how long do you...
You know what they are?
They're the morrow bar
of fashion
yes
they're still
floating around
in some bastardised form
yeah
if you buy a pack
of 12 shirts
there's sometimes
one Ed Hardy
well fuck
I didn't want to buy
people are like
have they got the machines
ready just to make
that one shirt
yeah it must be
I wonder if there's
ever been something
that's completely
been kind of
gone out of business
but then yeah
the Thailand bootleg
has kept going
for another few years
maybe do you remember
Bad Boy
yep
Bad Boy is a pretty
big brand
I saw a lot of that
in Bali
and that was only
like three or four
years ago
so maybe Bad Boy
Stussy
I still see
Stussy is still around
they still got
the brand is it
yeah
Kuda Lines
are they still around
Kuda Lines
remember Kuda Lines
yeah I'm trying to picture it though.
What was their sort of thing?
They were very sort of, not stonewashed, but something like that.
Even in a discussion about outdated fashion,
you've gone too outdated to keep up.
Ten gallon hats, they're not around anymore.
Because that's the idea that then the Thailand bootleg bad boy merchandise
by default is the official bad boy merchandise.
Yeah. I love it.
This is just four dudes sitting in a hotel room talking about fashion.
New direction for the podcast.
Speaking of Thailand, this is in my wheelhouse.
This is my hitting area. I will hit this
sweet as a nut.
So this is...
Well, the intro is off to a great start.
This is a thing...
People on the podcast are aware of this. I'm a little bit obsessed with Thailand, right? This off to a great start. This is, so this is a thing, people on the podcast are aware of this.
I'm a little bit obsessed with Thailand, right?
So, this is what I actually do.
This is a thing I literally do.
If I go to bed at night and I sort of haven't quite, you know, I'm not quite ready for bed.
If you go to bed at night.
Yeah.
Travis Bickle over here.
Yeah.
One day a big rain will clean this whole city.
So, I go to bed and if I'm not quite ready to sleep,
I'll be looking around the internet.
I'm like, oh, no, I think I've seen everything.
All right, I'll just put on this webcam in Choeng Road.
There's a webcam that I'm always looking at.
And what happens?
What do you see?
It's just out the front of an Irish Murphy's in Choeng Road.
What sort of – what do you see?
It's just out the front of an Irish Murphy's in Showing Road.
I mean, the words tie and webcam are also involved in what I do before bed,
but they're completely different.
I've never heard it used in that way.
Yes.
No, it's just one pointed out onto the street,
and I will literally sit there and watch it for like 10, 15 minutes to go.
And what have you seen in like your many years watching this?
And it is many years. Yeah, I imagine it would be.
No, nothing happens.
I just like it.
It will.
You'll be one of those creeps at the start of like an SVU episode
who sees the murder early on.
Yeah.
Or it's like, what's that movie where it's like they start hearing
themselves on the radio from the future?
Like you're watching that webcam and you walk into frame.
Like, what the fuck?
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm a big fan of it.
It's outside.
They've changed now recently.
There's been a bit of controversy because they've changed webcams.
They've changed webcams.
So it's on a different angle.
You could see all the people in the pub before and out on the street.
Now you can't see any of the people in the pub.
Do you reckon they did that because they realised they had some fucking creep on the webcam every night?
Someone's been looking in the pub every night.
We need to move this.
Yeah, so it now points out on the street,
you can see the restaurants over the road.
You can actually see McDonald's over the road.
So I still look at it.
It's a much better camera now.
So you can see everyone walk by a lot better.
So I do that.
You're making fun of your dad for watching the Weather Channel.
Yeah.
So I watch that a lot.
What I also do is I also get on and constantly check hotel prices for Koh Samui.
Even when I don't have any plans of going, I just like to go on.
So what's a good price?
Well, it depends what you want to pay.
What would like Sunrise be able to put you on?
How big are the mirrors there?
You'd be staying at the W over there, I think.
But no, no, no.
Good price, I reckon, for a good four-star, for a proper good four-star hotel over there at the moment.
It's a bit pricey, Koh Samui.
I have to say, being friends with you is like being on an unofficial email list
for all the airfare companies because you constantly,
you'll just hit me up out of the blue and go,
hey, $800 flights to Phuket.
And I go, great.
Okay, goodbye.
Hey, Tommy, got some pills here
your dick could be
way bigger than it is
yeah hey Tommy
new special
it's only
200 baht
for a big
Mac in the
Chowang Road
I just saw it
on the webcam
so
I'd like to report
a crime
so
I also look at
all those hotels
so a good price
for that
for a four star
I reckon is about 140 bucks yeah that price for that for a four-star I reckon is about $140.
Okay, that's pretty good for a four-star hotel.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you know, if you go to another island, it's even cheaper.
But at the moment, you know, it's pretty popular.
Quit getting distracted by how much you know about Thailand.
You just keep veering off and telling us all these facts about it.
I can keep going.
It's not relevant to the story.
I can keep going.
So I do a lot of that.
I also go on TripAdvisor a lot and look at all the restaurant reviews and just see what,
because they always update the top 20 restaurants or whatever on different islands.
I'm always looking at that.
I'm just putting you into my mindset.
This is what I do at night.
This is actually what I look at.
Yeah.
So a couple of days ago, I went through all of them and went, yep, yep, checked all them.
What else have we got? What else have we got?
What else have we got?
So I looked up YouTube and then put in Koh Samui.
Because Koh Samui is an island I've been to like four or five times already.
So I know it quite well.
I was looking at videos.
People have done big GoPro videos of themselves going through the island and bungee jumping
and all this sort of stuff.
So I had a look at a couple of them.
Then I found, I came across this one video of this guy who just put a gopro on his chest and walked up the
main street and i'm like this is perfect like i'm used to just that one shot the whole time i've
just across the road now this guy walks one end to the other you're deep in it yeah you've plugged
into the matrix you're walking around yes i i feel like i was like man i don't need to go this
year like i can just do this.
I can just watch this over and over.
And because I know that main street so well,
I was just watching it going, oh, this is awesome.
Just his chest looking out.
Yeah, yeah.
You're like Krang from the Ninja Turtles, you know,
the little squirrel that's sitting in the chest of the big robot
that walks him around.
Is that Bebop and Rocksteady?
They're in the same universe, yeah.
Yeah, right.
But you get the full experience because this guy's just got it on his chest.
So he's still getting annoyed by all the vendors.
So they're all still coming up, you need soot, sir.
You need soot.
I'm like, oh, cool.
I feel like I'm there.
This is awesome.
And just like I know one person, but beyond that, who is this for?
Yeah.
Well, how many views are on this video?
No, there's plenty.
Were you number one?
No, no.
There was like five or 10,000.
There's plenty of people doing it.
This does sound a lot like an advertorial for Koh Samui.
The thing is it's actually longer than the ones you see on Larry and Kylie.
Yes.
Yeah.
If you paid that guy like say 140 bucks, the cost of like a four-star hotel.
Thank you.
You could get him to walk around with like a live webcam on his chest for the day,
controlled by you and an earpick
like you know how Letterman used to do that
with people? You could get that guy to walk
around on your behalf. What would you get him to do?
Where would you get him to take you?
The McDonald's
Because that's
your favourite thing about Thailand isn't it?
It's just the visual of the street
so that way you're getting the only thing that you like about it
without having to actually go there.
Yeah.
Cause you hate the climate.
You hate the smells.
No I do.
I love it all.
No,
I'm kidding.
That's like,
yeah,
yeah.
I did.
But like one time when I went there,
I actually did bring one of our shirts over,
a Dum Dum Club shirt over and got someone to like pose with it.
And people like got,
one person I gave it to was,
I was like,
can you just hold this up?
And he was like really angry.
Cause he,
he,
it was something about like, I think he thought I was trying to insin just hold this up? And he was like really angry. Because there was something about like I think he thought –
I was trying to insinuate that he had pirate gear.
He had pirate merchandise or something.
Going back to like the Coot-a-Line sort of stuff.
So anyway, this guy walks up.
I know all the restaurants.
So I'm lying in bed watching it.
My girlfriend's in bed as well.
She sort of peers over at some stage and goes,
what are you doing, you fucking weirdo?
You're just being a creep.
Are you spying on Koh Samui?
It's funny how normalised your behaviour has become to her.
You've been doing this for ages, I gather it,
and it's only when you took that next leap.
Do you know what I mean?
No, she's...
Like, this is weird.
No, well, she's seen me with the webcam before,
but this is...
Sorry, that's the title of the episode
She's seen me with the webcam before
So, the guy keeps going
Because I know all the street I'm going
I'm doing a bit of a live commentary on it as well
So, my girlfriend's there and I'm going
Oh, this place, look at this
So this is like Gogglebox
Yes
Can you, by the way
I've been telling you for ages to watch Silicon Valley
It's a good show, you'll like it Don't tell me this, that you're sitting up in bed Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you, by the way, I've been telling you for ages to watch Silicon Valley.
It's a good show.
You'll like it.
Can you, don't tell me this, that you're sitting up in bed watching fucking Webcast.
Just get on Netflix and watch these. And he's even watching Sunrise in the morning, the whole show.
Yeah, he's always asking me, is this a good show?
And I'm recommending, you never do anything with it.
You're sitting up in bed doing this.
I like real stuff, man.
Real stuff.
Reality stuff.
The weather.
Koh Samuiui Main Street. So
anyway, he's walking up the main street and I'm
annoying my girlfriend and I'm going, oh, I've been there,
I've been there. And it's a 15
minute clip, right? So it gets to about 10
minutes in and she leans over and goes, just
go to bed. The
glow's keeping me awake. Go to bed.
I'm like, no, but we're up to the good bit.
Like, this is the good bit of the street
this is where all
the restaurants are
like this is good
and there's a bit
where it shines over
to this bakery
over the road
I'm like oh
you know
I've been there before
and then it comes back
and there's a guy
there's a guy out the front
yeah this is one bit
where he picks up
some prawns
and he's like chasing
the guy with the camera
and he's like
and I'm like
oh it's pretty funny
you know
and then
you fucking lost it this is the saddest, you know? And then he does that right.
And he's at the front of this restaurant.
I'm like, yeah, cause I've been there.
And then the camera swings around and goes over to the bakery or whatever.
And I go, oh yeah.
So he's at that, that place.
Oh, so that means the next restaurant, right.
Would be the place where, uh, I took mom and dad a couple of years ago.
Cause I brought my mom and dad over there.
So that, that would be that place.
The camera swings back and there we all are.
No fucking way.
I literally have that conversation and go,
this next round is where me and my mum and dad had dinner one night.
There is footage of us as I say that.
Oh, wow.
It's me and my mum and dad eating
and my dad just looks down the barrel of the camera.
Wow.
I'm like, Jesus Christ.
And I jump out of bed. I'm like, it's like i jump out of bed i'm like it's like oh my god
and so like i ring my mom i start ringing my mom and she like won't pick up the phone yeah it's
like late night i start ringing my mom she won't answer yeah did you sign a talent release form
no so i ring my mom she won't answer in the morning she gets up she back and goes, what were you ringing me for in the middle of the night?
I'm like, oh, what's wrong?
Why didn't you ring me back?
And she's like, I was asleep.
I'm going to ring you back.
What's all this about?
And I went, oh, so last night, right, I was on YouTube.
You know YouTube, right?
She goes, no.
So then I have to have a five-minute explanation of what YouTube is.
I try and explain it.
And it's one of those weird things
where you then try to explain something
and go
oh I take that for granted
but what is a good explanation
of YouTube
so I stumble through it
so then I get to
I start describing it
and going
right so
the guy's walking down
the main street
and I look at the restaurants
and then he goes away
and I start saying
oh this is where
I went with mum and dad
and then it swings over
and you can see you and dad
and she's like right and it's just this guy that's got a camera i'm like yeah so
how amazing is that like i was so excited i had to ring you straight away and she's like
so let me get this straight from your explanation we're just on someone's home movie is that what
you're excited about i'm like yeah so then i go well we'll put me on to dad then and she goes no
i'll explain it
I'm like
I don't think you'll give it justice
I don't think you're going to give it the full thing
So she's like
No no no I've got it
It's fine
Do you ever get concerned
That there might be
A Koh Samui equivalent of you
Watching like your neighbourhood
Yeah yeah right
Late at night
Yeah
Oh that'd be great
Yeah you should give back
Get a GoPro and do some
There might be someone Riversdale Road Yeah you a GoPro and do some. Riversdale Road.
Put one on Riversdale Road.
Yeah.
In Hawthorne.
Yeah.
Well, all right.
I'll try that.
How hard could that be?
We should all just do it.
You just need a GoPro.
They're pretty cheap now.
They are.
Oh, sorry.
I thought you meant like a webcam.
Oh, you could do either.
You could do the actual work.
You thought I meant set up a surveillance camera 24-7 on Riversdale Road.
Yeah.
Wow.
That would be good. All right. You know what? I'll do it. I'll do a GoPro of Riversdale Road. Wow. That would be good.
All right.
I'll do it.
I'll do a GoPro of Riversdale Road.
Well, here's what we could do.
I haven't been to Thailand for a while.
A sentence you will never say again.
You're very keen to go back.
Yeah, always.
We could go back.
We could put the link up.
Tonight?
Yeah, sure.
Let's go.
We could put the link up for that webcam that's on the main street.
Go and have a little wave
We go over there
We go just do a live show
Yeah that's good
On that street
Our listeners can just tune in
On the webcam link
That'd be amazing
Can't be as bad as Numo
Surely that webcam
Is for the purposes
Of being monitored
By the police right
Is that what webcams are for
No
Is it just set up
By the council
It's like a
Tourism sort of thing.
There's one main street and one main site, I mean,
and there's about eight webcams, nine webcams attached to it,
including one in like a strip club or something.
Yeah, right.
It's just sort of weird.
Get on down.
That's when this story got weird.
That's the point.
That's the point.
Search history.
But it doesn't turn off,
so you get continual
footage of a shop
that's closed
that's fantastic
I want to see the
strip club when it's
closing up for the
night
when the last bunch
of lads are being
kicked out
you know
top buttons done up
top buttons done up
ping pong balls
every which is
stuffed into all
their pockets
so I say to mum
let me tell dad
she goes no it's
fine I go oh come on she, no, it's fine.
I go, oh, come on.
She goes, no, no, no, it's fine.
I've got this.
Like, okay.
So this is in the morning and I'm like all day I'm sort of going,
yeah, but I don't think you've given it justice.
Like I've got to tell dad exactly what.
And are you thinking like then the phone's going to ring again
with your dad going, fuck, your mum just told me.
A little bit.
Yeah, yeah.
A little bit.
So then I think it was about five o'clock at night or something.
I ring.
And you know sometimes when you've got something to tell,
you've got something already loaded up,
what you're going to say when you talk to someone.
So the phone picks up.
It's my dad.
And he says the three words that I already had locked and loaded
to say first to him, which was,
he answers the phone by going,
YouTube celebrity?
No, YouTube sensation.
Ah, great.
Yeah, YouTube sensation,
which I think is a funny phrase to use considering he doesn't know what YouTube is.
Yes.
But he knows that phrase.
Wow.
Yeah.
I love it.
That's so good.
I'm still so excited.
Can you put the link up? Yeah, I will. Yeah, great. You can only see the back. I'm it. That's so good. I'm still so excited. Can you put the link up?
Yeah, I will.
Yeah, great.
Great.
You can only see the back.
I'm sort of facing the other way.
Oh, here we go.
No, no, no, no.
This would be great if we watch it and it's clearly not you.
It's just a little blur on the side of the screen,
but it's a similar coloured T-shirt.
Yeah.
It's a white guy.
It's a white guy.
A seven-foot guy with a green mohawk.
There I am.
You can see the Cooter Lines logo if you see it.
Mum and dad are looking into the camera, so it's clearly them.
So they've got good camera awareness.
Yes, I don't.
But how amazing is that for the odds?
That's fucking crazy.
Because that's from two years ago or something.
I've gone through Google Maps before, like gone on a street view thinking in the back of my head,
like, I might show up here. I've walked down this street
before. Especially when you see the car coming.
Do you ever like walk along and see one of the cars?
I've never seen one of the cars. Really? I always think
I should get on and look this address up
in a couple of weeks and see if I... Start doing something
wacky and end up in one of those Buzzfeed articles.
Like people... There was that big one of
people passed out at the front of their houses and stuff like that.
That's always good.
I always think like when you take photos in big crowds of like people passed out at the front of their houses and stuff like that. That's always good. Yeah. I always think like when you take photos in big crowds,
like especially when you'd get them developed and stuff
and you'd look, especially like when I was a kid
and we'd go on holidays to theme parks
and you'd look at all the people in the background
and you'd go, what's their fucking deal?
You know what I mean?
They're just out there doing something.
They have no idea that they're just sitting on our mantelpiece now.
Isn't that weird?
They can end up being like you always get that you see those things where it's like
we found this old photo and look, there's fucking Hitler in the background.
He's just walking around.
That'll be you one day with this video.
That is me, yeah.
I found this girl on OkCupid and a lot of people link their Instagram accounts to their
online dating pages.
Speaking of webcams in Thai street clubs.
I didn't know you.
Are you on OKCupid?
Yeah.
I'll tell you a story and then I'll ask you about that.
And so I...
Is this some sort of sponsorship deal?
Have we got something going?
It sounds like client integration.
That's the second time and I know it when I hear it.
It probably should be now that I think about it.
Hey, guys, sorry to interrupt.
Have you had your inner health plus today?
So, yeah, people will link their Instagram pages
to their OKCupid account
And I just went on and liked her photos
And thought
I'll follow her
Because she takes good photos
I then messaged her
Just a very sly nod from Sam there
Yeah yeah
She takes good photos
You didn't believe that as you said it
Yeah
That's what we all go on OkCupid for
For sweet photography
People like People kick up a stink
When fucking like James Franco does this
You can't do it
That's why I went on OkCupid
To just follow Anne Heddy's
How am I the biggest
Internet dumb cunt in this conversation
After all fucking Wall-E webcam
I've ever seen
This is not fair
But so I then messaged her On OkCupid old fucking Wall-E webcam over here to tell that story. This is not fair.
But so I then messaged her on
OkCupid because OkCupid you don't
match. It's not like Tinder where you match.
You just go through and find people.
Do you pay for that one? No.
So I sent her a message. She never
responded. Whatever. That's fine.
Anyway, this is at the end of the last year.
What was the message?
Hey, I really like your Instagram photos.
I can tell that you're a really artistic soul, a lot like me.
I host a podcast with my old friend, Carl.
Here's a link if you'd like to check it out.
Here's a picture of him from YouTube and his mum and dad.
I have friends with a weatherman.
Ever stayed at the Como?
Want to see what you look like in a big mirror?
So anyway, so yeah, she messages, doesn't write back.
I don't really think anything of it because it happens a lot.
Anyway, so then end of last year, I go to the Meredith Music Festival.
I come back.
I'm on Instagram.
I'm going through photos.
She has put up a photo from Instagram that I'm just hanging out in the back of.
I'm literally standing right behind her.
Are you looking at her?
I'm looking, weirdly enough, by coincidence,
I look like I'm looking right into the camera.
It's real creepy.
And so I then message...
That would have fucking terrified her.
So you thought this is really creepy.
The only way to handle this is to now write to her
about that photo that I've discovered on her account and tell her that that's a bit creepy. The only way to handle this is to now write to her about that photo
that I've discovered on her account and tell her that that's a bit creepy.
Yeah, I commented on the photo going,
hey, bro, I'm in the background of this photo.
Nice way to try and diffuse it with bro.
And she just wrote back and I'm thinking,
maybe now she'll have a look and follow.
She just went, that's nice.
A lot of people are.
A lot of people are Okay Cupid
What's the difference between that and Tinder for example?
So Tinder is like
It's just you get a photo
And not much information
And you're either saying yes or no to them
And if you match with them
I feel like I'm at a fucking family function right now talking to a very elderly couple, by the way.
I've never used a dating website.
I like that I'm the weird one in that situation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Say that out loud.
What a freak.
So if you say-
Well, you've got a hotel room like this.
What do you need pieces of shit like that for?
You just say, this is where I'm staying up there, baby.
You go over to your window and yell.
So, okay.
So it's more like substance-based. Is that what you're saying? You can actually find out a bit about the person. I'm staying up there baby You go over to your window And yell So okay So Tinder is
It's more like substance based
Is that what you're saying
Like you can actually find out
A bit about the person
Yeah so Tinder is
Sounds boring
Tinder is like yes or no
And if you both say yes
Then you can be in contact
Yep
But OkCupid is like
You can go through
And you fill out
A more rounded profile
And you answer
Like what you're in
And it's an app
On your
Yeah they're both apps
But OkCupid is a website
OkCupid I think Is a dating website From ages ago That has now Yeah it's been app? Yeah, they're both apps, but OKCupid is a website. OKCupid, I think, is a dating website from ages ago that has now...
Yeah, it's been around for a while.
Can you explain to my mum and dad what YouTube is?
So could we, like, could you tell us what it says on your OKCupid profile?
Could we read that now, like, to see if we wanted to access it?
Is it public?
Like, could we find out about you?
Or is it only if someone is, like, you know, connected with you on it and you've accepted them to look at it?
You, OKCupid, you can just go on.
What I'm saying is, will you go out with me?
OKCupid is like, you can just find me on there.
OK.
And just ask.
You can find all sorts of details about someone,
follow them to a music festival,
accidentally end up in the same photo.
How'd that happen?
Four days in a row I'm in the same photo.
Oh, this is crazy.
I left my shoes in your house somehow.
Can I come get them?
And now it's going to be my follow-up message on the photo.
Hey, I talked about this photo from six months ago on my podcast.
Do you know what I messaged you about on OKCupid?
That actually sounds like the most sarcastic response
to what you've put in there.
Like, oh, I'm in the background.
And she's like, OKCupid, we should be going out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in the background, but I's like, okay, Cupid, we should be going out there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm in the background,
but I'm going to insert myself into the foreground of your life.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yuck.
Noxie, you would have been on all those dating websites, surely?
I tried Tinder for a bit and it didn't really work for me
because I don't come across well in a photo.
Well, a big part of it is photos.
I've got mates where I've watched them use it.
It's fascinating.
What was your photo?
Because I noticed a lot of guys are holding like tiger cubs.
There's a lot of that, right?
There's a lot of just cars and stuff
because I've been through on female friends ones
of all the guys one.
Fuck, there's a lot of creepy guys.
Yeah.
Yeah, terrifying.
So I tried to be like-
Spending three minutes with a female friend
on any dating site they're on
As a guy
Is just an awfully illuminating experience
Yeah
It's horrible
It's no good
I had just like
I just had a photo of like
I think it was me at the football
With a couple of other people
Which is probably a bad idea
I went into it with no confidence clearly
And I think that came across
Were you doing a bit of
Because I still have this a bit on there,
where you have a level of detachment with your photo.
It's like, I've got a bunch of silly stuff on here,
so it's almost like I'm not committing,
so if nothing comes of it, it's like,
yeah, I don't give a fuck anyway.
So you want to give an air of nonchalance
with your Tinder profile.
Yeah, it's a little bit of that.
I don't know if nonchalance is a key brand value
for people using Tinder.
Yeah.
I thought it would be funny at first to just take a photo of my face from every angle.
But then I did do it and it looked a hell of a lot like a prison photo when you get arrested.
So I moved away from that.
Did you go on any dates as a result?
No.
I deleted it pretty quick because I realised nothing was really –
I matched with a couple of people and then didn't know what to say at that point
because you match with someone and then you've got to you know go like well
something funny or nice and it's you can't just go like hey what's up because well this is the
thing so many people have on their profiles now hey you know what if you're just gonna bought if
you're just gonna hit me up and say something and say something like hey what's up how's your night
or if you're just gonna throw something completely random at me don't bother it's like
why has the formality
of just starting a conversation
all of a sudden
got to go out the window
you're getting hit up a lot
what are you supposed to say now then
you've got to come in with a line like
what's your favourite grape
you've got to like
kick off the conversation
your favourite grape
that's good
your favourite grape
non-acceded
Gilbert
make sure you spell it correctly
this whole thing where you've got to just you've got to come in immediately you've just got to like Great. Non-acceded. Gilbert, make sure you spell it correctly.
This whole thing where you've got to come in immediately.
You've just got to like. Get to your A game.
You've got to airlift into a conversation straight away.
You go through their profile and maybe find something in a photo that's interesting.
You go like, oh, you've been to Thailand, have you?
Oh, I see.
I'm in the background of one of your shows.
So, yeah, you've got to try and make mention.
And it's all too much.
So non-generic small talk.
Yeah, which is no fun.
But here's what Tinder is doing now that I found out last night.
There's an update on it where you now can do it in groups.
So you can get on there with someone as another user
and you both, if you match with someone,
you get matched with the group that they're kind of linked with.
And the idea of that is like if you're out with your gals on a Friday night
and you're all on it and it's like so it's not just one of you going.
So it's like a mixer.
It's like, yeah, let's put this.
It's like a mixer.
It's like we'll all go meet up with these guys,
which speaks to a lot of the problems that were happening with Tinder
to need to implement that of like people just going, cool,
I'll just go off in the city by myself and meet up with this random,
oh, I'm in a boot.
You've just been Dassaloed.
Oh, come on.
Fuck.
Mate, how many dating sites are you running?
Jesus Christ.
You started it.
Fuck, I can't help but feel like I've been sort of stitched up here.
I can't help but feel like the tying people up in a boot thing is slightly bad for my brain.
Lovable little lout.
You can recover.
I still think that sounds more impressive
than I have a podcast.
Well, let me cut to talk about this because I
was at uni today.
I don't know if you, I was telling you before, Sam, I'm at uni
studying animation and anything
Don't put that on your Tinder.
Cool first year student.
It's getting interesting now because anything creative that you study
initially in the introductory courses, it's hard to get enthused about
because I do a foundations of illustration class.
And so the first weeks were like, hey, draw a square and then shade it.
You know what I mean?
Real entry-level stuff.
But we go in today and it is heating up.
We've gradually gotten a bit more advanced.
So what did you do today?
Octagons, baby.
We did a lot of, you know, drawing people, drawing hands,
drawing clothes, drawing form and then drawing animals.
And today was come in here and we're gonna just we're
gonna sort of do a bit of imagination stuff so creating new creatures and tapping into like what
makes good character design and creature design so one of our tasks was our teacher brought up a
picture of the um uh the alien from the film alien and goes okay, okay, scenario. The alien from Aliens has broken into the zoo and it is just –
Fuck, you had me at zoo.
It's fucked all these different animals and it's had kids with them.
So you pick an animal and then imagine the alien from Aliens fucking it.
Just imagine it fucking it and getting it pregnant
and then draw an animal that incorporates the animal
and plus these extreme elements of the alien from aliens.
And I just thought...
Is this an example of your small talk on OKC?
Is that in the lead with?
Well, I just thought to myself,
finally an assignment I can jerk off to
after three months in this goddamn institution.
I mean, apart from the fact I was jerking off to squares.
I mean... That from the fact I was jerking off to squares.
That's really bothering me because that's not the way that the aliens from Alien reproduce.
They're parasitic and they go inside your chest.
I just need to point that out.
I know some of the people who listen to your podcast would have been
bothered by that too.
Yes, someone will point it out.
I'm really glad you did that because this podcast is all based on facts.
It's, yeah, it's a weird, it's just weird
to walk into a, and this is like in the morning,
this is a weird start to the day of
like, so imagine just all
these zoo animals basically getting raped
by this fucking interplanetary creature.
You don't know that. They didn't necessarily
get dastoloed.
Oh, God.
Based on that one,
you've just earned yourself from Carl Chandler
an invite back onto the show.
I feel like I've finally got a Robin to my Batman.
Because this is the thing, like, you know, I really like drawing
but then we get sent off on these tasks by ourselves
and my overriding thing constantly is like having to stop myself
from just being a complete fuckhead and doing something stupid
with the task.
And this goes back to, I don't think we've ever talked about this
on the show, but we for a little while were obsessed, you and I,
with the idea of going to a life drawing class.
And the idea where you-
Setting up a webcam.
That's right.
That's why we didn't talk about it on the podcast.
You draw like the nude model, but then you just insert yourself
into the scene doing something fucked. Doing something, so like the nude model but then you just insert yourself into the scene doing something
fucked like you're doing something
so like a naked woman and then you're just like
you're just like lying underneath just like drinking
a urine or something. Oh sorry, doing
a das alone. Just getting in
before anyone else. I'm like you at the music festival with that
girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like the teacher comes around
and it's like Jesus Christ, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't
do it again, I won't do it again.
Next one, the male model comes in, there's your drawing,
you're just blowing him.
Something about that was so funny to us.
When the teacher looks at the drawing, they go,
this is completely wrong, that's nothing what they look like.
You've had time to sneak over and start actually blowing him.
So when she looks at the picture, it's exactly the same
as the scene that's going on.
That was all today I could think of was how funny it would be.
He does that, draw the scene that's going on. That was all today I could think of was like how funny it would be like he does that,
it's like draw the animal that they would recreate, that they would create,
like the hybrid and you've just like completely misinterpreted the task. So what you draw is just the alien fucking rooting all these different animals in the zoo
and you've drawn and somehow in the space of half an hour,
you've drawn like 28 of them.
Like you've gone through them in really detail.
You've just drawn 28 pictures of the alien rooting all the different zookeepers.
Rooting a guy who's clearly the teacher.
With one big dick and then a little smaller dick coming out the front of it.
Oh, man.
I'm sure I've talked about this on the podcast before.
Look, I don't want to drop too many names.
But when I did first year TAFE in Ballarat,
Clang,
we did have an assignment.
I'm sure,
I hope I haven't talked about this because I know,
I think you think this is quite funny.
We had an assignment called bad taste and we had to make an ashtray with a,
with a,
with a theme was bad taste.
Right.
So I'd already done mine.
There was a guy going,
I don't know what to do.
What's bad taste?
And I went,
what about this? And then I made them, I and there was a guy going, oh, I don't know what to do. What's bad taste? And I went, what about this?
And then I made this guy do my design, which was a normal ashtray.
Presented in blackface.
With a picture in the middle of the teacher having sex with that student.
Oh, man.
The male student.
How long did it take you to convince him to do that?
We were young.
It was first year.
We were 17.
So it was just literally,
I just found one picture of the teacher.
Is this also the story of your first wet dream?
So it was just a picture of him.
He just got a bit choked up.
Just so nostalgic.
He had to pause to clear his throat.
It looked like you were welling up.
That was some of my best work.
Ballarat Tafe,
they were salad days.
So it was literally a picture,
a picture set with the ashtray of the teacher
having sex from behind
and him with quite a porn star look on his face
that we'd somehow lucked out upon.
And then the student,
my friend,
just sort of looking curious
as he was being mounted.
And he just gave that as an assignment.
And then they just took it and it disappeared.
Everyone's assignments got given back and that didn't.
And we're like, what happened to that one?
And the guy was just like, I don't know.
It's at home in my private collection.
Do you reckon he's still got it, that teacher just ashing away up in Ballarat, just remembering
the good times?
That would be an insane thing to have to explain every time people came over for coffee.
I can't believe you managed to convince someone to do that.
I've heard that story a few times and it's just still, who is this guy who's like, okay.
He was a weirder guy than me.
Did you suggest the drawing and he
did it or did you just do the drawing for him?
It wasn't a drawing. It was Photoshop.
Oh, Photoshop. So you did the Photoshop.
Which is way worse.
There wasn't much Photoshop. It was literally a head.
We just found a porno picture
and stuck two different heads on them.
It was like my friend. It was on a woman's body.
So the guy – my friend was just – yeah, he had quite large breasts to be honest.
Maybe your teacher just went and lifted up the bush.
Yes.
For kids to find and marvel upon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
That is so good.
I love it.
Yeah.
So yeah, anyway, uni is going great and –
Sounds like it.
Yeah. So, yeah, anyway, uni is going great. Sounds like it.
Yeah.
Well, this is the uni that they have to be warned to shower regularly.
Yes. Really?
Orientation day we got a big lecture about personal hygiene.
Yeah, right.
People from studios will often stop in because it's a creative university.
So it's like, you know, shower every day, get some deodorant.
It's like, Jesus Christ.
You are painting quite a picture where that needs to be said
and they're being taught about the alien from aliens
coming in and raping zoo animals.
Yes.
You're painting quite a picture about this school.
Is this an online university?
Yeah, he's like, imagine an alien breaking into the zoo
and doing this.
Now, before I go into any more description,
boys, put both palms on the table.
Zouan doing this. Now, before I go into any more description, boys, put both palms
on the table.
Yeah, I, because we
had a, the other week we had a thing where
I did a bit of, I did my first
kind of like outing myself as a
bit of a fucking weird mature
age student. Oh, they wouldn't have noticed.
Yeah, but
like I'm trying to, you know, there's that thing of like
they always, mature age students, they're always like
they're always asking questions and they're always putting their hands up. And you always know there's that thing of like they always – mature age students, they're always like – they're always asking questions
and they're always putting their hands up.
And you always know there's a mature age student in the class.
Like they're always – yeah.
There's a guy in all my classes who's like – who does that a lot
and I'm like – and I'm always just going, man, you're fucking bringing us all down.
I'm doing everything I can to just like reset the stigma of the mature age student.
But at the end of our last class class we had to talk about like inspiration
and like artists because he was like you're
getting close to your final assessment you should be
looking at heaps of other art and finding the
stuff that really inspires you yell out some stuff
now yell out some artists that you like and
I'll bring them up on the screen and we can all just have
a look and so people are yelling out like you
know famous comic book artists who've drawn like
Batman or whatever he's like oh yeah this guy look at the form
he's really good with that and all the stuff i like is like american
underground comics that are all kind of like weird and kind of like you know like the sort
of stuff that robert crumb if you know him like kind of kicked off like all that weird alternative
sort of stuff so it's like all these pictures of like you know superman and superheroes and i'm
like what about uh johnny ryan and then he brings up johnny ryan and johnny ryan's work is all
centered in like shit and vomit
and just all this grotesque, disgusting stuff.
Like Ren and Stimpy looking kind of things?
Kind of that sort of stuff, yeah.
So that all comes up on the screen and he's looking up like, yeah.
Yep, there's stuff you could take from that.
And everyone's turning around and looking.
And I'm literally sitting right up the back in the very corner by myself
just going, yeah, go click on that one.
That's a good one.
Just like this weird, everyone's going,
who's this weird perv who's making us look at this disgusting illicit images
in class?
It's no good.
It's like, yeah, go to this artist I really like.
His website's rotten.com.
Bring that up.
Yeah.
Look at this ashtray.
It's beautiful.
It's a great piece of art.
Oh, man. Yeah, I should go back to that ashtray and Photoshop myself in's a great piece of art. Oh, man.
Yeah, I should go back to that ashtray and Photoshop myself in the background
with mum and dad.
That should be our next line of merch, ashtrays with you and me bumming on them.
What did other people do for the task of bad taste?
Oh, man, I have no idea.
It was a long time ago.
It's a loaded gun you're handing a class of children.
You're just 17 and go children Like If you're 17
And go like
Do something in bad taste
Yeah
Yeah exactly
Yeah just go into taffers
In bad taste I think
I think that was enough
Well but also
On an ashtray
It's like
Make this ashtray
Somehow unappealing
Yeah yeah yeah
This thing is like
Filled with dirty ass cigarettes
Yeah yeah
Good luck
They're all so beautiful
What did you do for yours?
I have no idea
Really?
Yeah I have no idea I guess? Yeah, I have no idea.
I guess when you were, I mean.
That's the thing that sticks out.
Yeah.
Like I literally handed mine in and this guy was running late and going, yeah, do this.
This is fun.
This is a thing that I was too scared to do, but you do it.
I'd love to hear from this guy about, I want a 30 for 30 on this guy.
I could pinpoint the exact moment it all went wrong.
It was that ashtray.
Honestly, the guy that handed it in, the guy that I convinced to do it,
I lost contact with and then found out later.
I said, oh, did you ever catch up with this guy?
He was like, yeah, he went to an insane asylum.
Oh, no.
Okay, cool.
Is he better now?
Sort of.
That's the happiest ending I'm going to get out of this story,
so let's leave it at that.
Do they do any kind of shop work or arts and craft in this insane asylum?
Can I go visit him on the day that this is happening?
Go in for round two?
I'd love to see him
do a segment on the living room.
I'd like to see
what he does with this mirror.
Well guys, I think that's just about all the time we've got for the little
Dum Dum Club this week. Sam Mack, Adam
Knox, thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you very much, guys.
So, Sam, what's it going to be like tomorrow?
No idea.
Check the app on your phone.
What's your favourite?
Take a punt.
This will be out in two weeks.
What's going to be happening the day after this comes out?
It's going to be a little windy and there's going to be...
What's all Boston going to be like?
It's going to be 22 and fine.
It's going to start mild and then it's going to get warm at around 2 o'clock
and then it's going to have a cool afternoon change.
All right, All Boss.
Now you don't need to go in that day.
You're done.
I want to know if we have any All Boss listeners.
You know what?
If you're out there, you listen to this, the day it comes out and it matches up,
let us know.
Can I just quickly mention a Sunrise story I just remembered?
Yes.
It's one of my favourite things I've ever seen.
My parents watch Sunrise a lot and I like the cash cow. I was watching the cash cow one of my favourite things I've ever seen my parents watch sunrise a lot
and I like the
cash cow
I was watching
the cash cow
what's he really like
yeah
it's a she
for a start
because it's a cow
oh sorry
can you tell her
that my favourite
thing she's ever
had to do
is like
they called someone
oh listen to him
I've heard everything
she
I heard it was a woman
and I remembered
that two seconds later
it's not that weird
but it's so
they call up they call up a person.
Was that an ashtray?
Yes, he's just grabbing something on the table
that looks like a giant ashtray.
Well, it looks like a giant cricket box or a bedpan.
You call that a giant cricket box?
That's actually Chris Gale's.
It looks like a little bath just for your balls.
It's a deep, it's a kind of like a sort of an oval shaped,
sort of really thick kind of dish that you could fill up
and just kind of squat over it.
Don't blush now, Tommy.
What were you saying there?
So they're doing cash cow.
They call up whoever it is who's won.
They're very happy.
They go, you've just won $10,000.
And this woman on the other end of the line is going,
oh my God, that's amazing.
Cash cow's dancing around.
And the woman goes, oh, I'm so glad because I've just lost my husband
and this money's really going to come in handy.
And this poor fucking cash cow has to figure out how to look unhappy
dressed as a full cow.
Oh, dancing.
And, like, realises she can't go to do the, like, wipe the tears away
little mime motion.
It was my favourite thing I've ever seen a person have to do.
It is really hard to show empathy dressed as a cow.
Yeah.
Classically not empathic creatures at all.
That should be a night of class.
Like your final assessment is how to show emotion as a cow.
That's tough.
At Cash Cow You.
I'm sure Tommy could do some great animations involving the cash cow.
Yeah.
Getting raped by an alien.
Cash Cow The the animated series.
Actually, can you not do that?
No, I'm going to.
Do you have any like kind of kids ever?
Oh, wait.
Is Sunrise the one where you've got the big window where people are?
Yes.
Uh-oh.
Guess what's being held up against that glass next time I'm in Sydney.
Inner Health Plus ain't going to help the Cash Cow today.
He's still going to feel bad.
Let's do that.
Next time we're in Sydney, let's turn up to the window. Sure. And get some Dum Dum branding going on. today. He's still going to feel bad. Let's do that. Let's insert, next time we're in Sydney,
let's turn up to the window.
Sure.
And get some dum-dum branding going on.
Yeah, cheaper option than Koh Samui.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you have a sponsorship within Health Plus?
No, I just naturally think they're a great product.
Okay, great.
That is good synergy.
Yeah, every time.
So what happens is I start the segment
and then do like, you know, a minute or so
of what we call content.
It's an industry term.
And then I'll go, let's check your weather around the country.
And then they'll play what they call a sting industry term again.
And they'll go, have you had your elf bus today?
And then I talk.
And I talk.
Then I tell you about the weather for Orbis.
Exactly.
Then we finish.
And then we do more content if there's time.
If there's no big breaking news like Johnny Depp's dogs.
Yeah.
I can't wait to ask mum and dad what sting and content mean
but yeah.
So Sam Mack
that's your, that's where people
can catch you. Yeah, also
