Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:30 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.
Starting point is 00:00:51 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.
Starting point is 00:01:02 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
Starting point is 00:01:19 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.
Starting point is 00:01:28 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.
Starting point is 00:01:37 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.
Starting point is 00:01:53 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.
Starting point is 00:02:06 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.
Starting point is 00:02:21 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.
Starting point is 00:02:36 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
Starting point is 00:03:03 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.
Starting point is 00:03:26 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.
Starting point is 00:03:41 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
Starting point is 00:03:53 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
Starting point is 00:04:03 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?
Starting point is 00:04:13 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.
Starting point is 00:04:23 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.
Starting point is 00:04:50 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.
Starting point is 00:05:03 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
Starting point is 00:05:14 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.
Starting point is 00:05:31 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.
Starting point is 00:05:46 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.
Starting point is 00:06:01 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?
Starting point is 00:06:07 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-
Starting point is 00:06:32 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.
Starting point is 00:06:43 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,
Starting point is 00:06:46 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
Starting point is 00:06:56 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,
Starting point is 00:07:02 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
Starting point is 00:07:13 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.
Starting point is 00:07:27 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.
Starting point is 00:07:42 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.
Starting point is 00:08:00 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.
Starting point is 00:08:11 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.
Starting point is 00:08:23 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.
Starting point is 00:08:39 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.
Starting point is 00:08:56 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.
Starting point is 00:09:17 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.
Starting point is 00:09:32 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.
Starting point is 00:09:44 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.
Starting point is 00:09:53 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.
Starting point is 00:10:22 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.
Starting point is 00:10:35 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.
Starting point is 00:10:54 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.
Starting point is 00:11:05 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.
Starting point is 00:11:16 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.
Starting point is 00:11:34 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
Starting point is 00:11:58 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.
Starting point is 00:12:11 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
Starting point is 00:12:17 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
Starting point is 00:12:27 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
Starting point is 00:12:43 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.
Starting point is 00:12:58 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
Starting point is 00:13:07 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.
Starting point is 00:13:23 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.
Starting point is 00:13:38 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.
Starting point is 00:13:54 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?
Starting point is 00:14:09 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.
Starting point is 00:14:21 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.
Starting point is 00:14:40 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
Starting point is 00:14:56 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.
Starting point is 00:15:11 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?
Starting point is 00:15:29 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.
Starting point is 00:15:43 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.
Starting point is 00:16:06 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?
Starting point is 00:16:21 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.
Starting point is 00:16:33 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.
Starting point is 00:16:47 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,
Starting point is 00:17:02 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?
Starting point is 00:17:15 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.
Starting point is 00:17:32 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.
Starting point is 00:17:44 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.
Starting point is 00:18:02 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?
Starting point is 00:18:18 292. 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.
Starting point is 00:18:36 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?
Starting point is 00:18:51 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...
Starting point is 00:19:05 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.
Starting point is 00:19:17 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?
Starting point is 00:19:26 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,
Starting point is 00:19:49 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...
Starting point is 00:20:06 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.
Starting point is 00:20:22 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,
Starting point is 00:20:45 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.
Starting point is 00:21:05 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.
Starting point is 00:21:28 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.
Starting point is 00:21:43 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.
Starting point is 00:22:02 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.
Starting point is 00:22:18 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.
Starting point is 00:22:35 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.
Starting point is 00:22:54 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
Starting point is 00:23:10 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
Starting point is 00:23:36 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.
Starting point is 00:23:49 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
Starting point is 00:24:05 of fashion yes they're still floating around in some bastardised form yeah if you buy a pack of 12 shirts
Starting point is 00:24:10 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
Starting point is 00:24:17 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
Starting point is 00:24:26 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
Starting point is 00:24:32 in Bali and that was only like three or four years ago so maybe Bad Boy Stussy I still see Stussy is still around
Starting point is 00:24:37 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.
Starting point is 00:24:46 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.
Starting point is 00:25:08 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...
Starting point is 00:25:23 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.
Starting point is 00:25:38 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?
Starting point is 00:25:59 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.
Starting point is 00:26:16 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
Starting point is 00:26:29 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.
Starting point is 00:26:43 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?
Starting point is 00:27:00 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.
Starting point is 00:27:14 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.
Starting point is 00:27:33 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,
Starting point is 00:27:56 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
Starting point is 00:28:10 new special it's only 200 baht for a big Mac in the Chowang Road I just saw it on the webcam
Starting point is 00:28:16 so I'd like to report a crime so I also look at all those hotels so a good price for that
Starting point is 00:28:23 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.
Starting point is 00:28:41 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.
Starting point is 00:28:55 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.
Starting point is 00:29:14 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
Starting point is 00:29:39 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,
Starting point is 00:29:55 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.
Starting point is 00:30:12 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.
Starting point is 00:30:24 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.
Starting point is 00:30:35 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?
Starting point is 00:30:54 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.
Starting point is 00:31:06 You hate the smells. No I do. I love it all. No, I'm kidding. That's like, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:10 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?
Starting point is 00:31:21 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.
Starting point is 00:31:34 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.
Starting point is 00:31:50 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
Starting point is 00:32:05 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
Starting point is 00:32:19 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?
Starting point is 00:32:37 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
Starting point is 00:32:49 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
Starting point is 00:33:05 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
Starting point is 00:33:11 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
Starting point is 00:33:19 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.
Starting point is 00:33:29 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.
Starting point is 00:33:43 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
Starting point is 00:33:58 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?
Starting point is 00:34:28 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.
Starting point is 00:34:43 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
Starting point is 00:34:52 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
Starting point is 00:34:59 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
Starting point is 00:35:18 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
Starting point is 00:35:31 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
Starting point is 00:35:42 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.
Starting point is 00:35:49 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.
Starting point is 00:35:56 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.
Starting point is 00:36:06 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.
Starting point is 00:36:18 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
Starting point is 00:36:27 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
Starting point is 00:36:39 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,
Starting point is 00:36:49 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.
Starting point is 00:37:01 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
Starting point is 00:37:09 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
Starting point is 00:37:17 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.
Starting point is 00:37:25 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
Starting point is 00:37:39 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,
Starting point is 00:37:51 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.
Starting point is 00:38:11 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.
Starting point is 00:38:22 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.
Starting point is 00:38:29 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.
Starting point is 00:38:40 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.
Starting point is 00:38:56 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
Starting point is 00:39:16 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
Starting point is 00:39:34 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.
Starting point is 00:39:49 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?
Starting point is 00:40:07 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.
Starting point is 00:40:16 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
Starting point is 00:40:29 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
Starting point is 00:40:44 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
Starting point is 00:41:01 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.
Starting point is 00:41:15 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.
Starting point is 00:41:36 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.
Starting point is 00:41:58 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.
Starting point is 00:42:17 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.
Starting point is 00:42:31 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
Starting point is 00:42:53 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.
Starting point is 00:43:12 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.
Starting point is 00:43:24 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
Starting point is 00:43:32 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
Starting point is 00:43:39 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?
Starting point is 00:43:53 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.
Starting point is 00:44:13 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.
Starting point is 00:44:24 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.
Starting point is 00:44:41 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
Starting point is 00:44:58 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
Starting point is 00:45:15 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
Starting point is 00:45:25 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
Starting point is 00:45:36 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,
Starting point is 00:45:51 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.
Starting point is 00:46:04 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
Starting point is 00:46:24 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
Starting point is 00:46:49 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
Starting point is 00:46:58 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.
Starting point is 00:47:10 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.
Starting point is 00:47:27 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.
Starting point is 00:47:52 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.
Starting point is 00:48:12 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.
Starting point is 00:48:29 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
Starting point is 00:48:43 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.
Starting point is 00:49:08 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
Starting point is 00:49:30 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.
Starting point is 00:50:10 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.
Starting point is 00:50:29 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
Starting point is 00:50:46 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.
Starting point is 00:51:03 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
Starting point is 00:51:25 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.
Starting point is 00:51:41 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
Starting point is 00:51:58 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,
Starting point is 00:52:12 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
Starting point is 00:52:39 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.
Starting point is 00:53:02 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,
Starting point is 00:53:17 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,
Starting point is 00:53:24 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.
Starting point is 00:53:48 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.
Starting point is 00:54:02 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
Starting point is 00:54:17 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.
Starting point is 00:54:35 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.
Starting point is 00:54:59 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.
Starting point is 00:55:20 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.
Starting point is 00:55:37 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.
Starting point is 00:55:45 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.
Starting point is 00:56:03 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.
Starting point is 00:56:20 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
Starting point is 00:56:34 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.
Starting point is 00:56:49 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
Starting point is 00:57:12 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
Starting point is 00:57:31 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.
Starting point is 00:57:55 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?
Starting point is 00:58:12 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.
Starting point is 00:58:24 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.
Starting point is 00:58:45 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
Starting point is 00:58:53 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
Starting point is 00:58:59 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.
Starting point is 00:59:07 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.
Starting point is 00:59:24 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.
Starting point is 00:59:38 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
Starting point is 00:59:55 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.
Starting point is 01:00:10 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
Starting point is 01:00:28 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.
Starting point is 01:00:39 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
Starting point is 01:00:48 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
Starting point is 01:00:54 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
Starting point is 01:01:00 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.
Starting point is 01:01:12 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.
Starting point is 01:01:31 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.
Starting point is 01:01:42 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.
Starting point is 01:02:01 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.
Starting point is 01:02:20 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?
Starting point is 01:02:35 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.
Starting point is 01:02:46 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.
Starting point is 01:02:58 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.
Starting point is 01:03:11 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.
Starting point is 01:03:24 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 Best Bits which is a new show on 7 on Tuesday
