This episode of The Little Dumb Dumb Club is brought to you by the Just For Laughs Festival Sydney
happening from September the 6th until the 11th.
Carl, I didn't expect you to remember the dates, but can you tell me what venue that's happening in?
It's at the Sydney Opera House.
I've heard of that.
In Sydney.
Except, don't let the opera part sway you.
There won't be opera on the night.
It's all comedy.
I know it's called that.
And a lot of people probably get annoyed. How many people
do you think see ads for like Peter Hellier
and go, oh, he's just going to be up there
doing opera. I'd rather him be funny
like he is on the project. Yeah, why don't we all
go to the Sydney Comedy House instead?
That'd be great if there was a Sydney Comedy House.
There's a comedy store. There's a shop for it.
There's not a house of it.
Yeah, it's too commercial that place. I want a a shop for it. It's not a house of it. Yeah. It's too commercial, that place.
I want a place where I can feel at home in a house.
Yeah.
So it is the world famous Just for Life Festival.
They've been doing a version of that festival in Sydney for a number of years.
Now this year they're bringing out Trevor Noah.
They've been doing it again.
Margaret Cho.
Jim Norton.
Alan Carr.
Yep.
Rhys Darby from The Flight of the Conchords.
Friends of the show, Charlie Pickering and Peter Hellyer.
Tommy Little hosting the stand-up series,
which is a showcase of a whole bunch of different acts
filming spots for TV.
And that's especially a lot of friends of the show
will be appearing on that.
So if you like, if you're not so much for the big, big,
big international names, and you should be, but if you're not, you can see the local.
If you're a fucking idiot, go for that.
If you don't want to see world-class comedians that are only here once in a lifetime, sure.
Don't do that.
But you can see a lot of bunch of awesome, awesome, awesome local people
on the stand-up series.
There's heaps of people on each episode.
Yeah, there's heaps of awesome shows happening around the country
as part of the Just For Laughs festival as well.
All those people are doing tours.
And, yeah, they've been sponsoring the show for the last month,
helping keep the lights on here.
So, yeah, show them your appreciation.
Go buy a ticket to one of these gigs.
Yeah, heaps of people, they're all doing big solo shows in different cities.
Trevor Noah is, Alan Carr is, Julian Clare is, Margaret Cho, Jim Norton.
All those big names are coming down to, you know, I would say I don't want to give too
much away, Tommy, but I think our biggest market is right here in sunny Melbourne, Victoria.
So there's heaps of big shows there.
So go along and see.
All those guys.
I've got to say, one thing I take umbrage with the Just for Laughs Festival is the title.
Carl, I don't believe comedy should be just for laughs.
I like comedy that makes you think.
Oh, I don't like that.
That inspires you.
I don't like that.
I don't like these guys standing up there going on about bloody wind chimes
and duck sandwiches.
I mean, sure, it's funny, but I like stuff that challenges the status quo.
I like my comedians to speak truth to power.
Are you saying that my comedy doesn't make you think?
Is that what you're saying?
It makes me think about ending
my own life.
Well, you want to come to my newly
established festival just for suicide.
That's all that will be happening.
At the Melbourne Suicide House.
So, yeah, go check that out.
Here's a question about the Just for Laughs festival as well.
Their little logo, man. If you go to their website, check that out. Here's a question about the Just for Laughs Festival as well. The little logo man, if you go to their website, check it out,
it's the little blue meanie from the Yellow Submarine movie,
for the Beatles' Yellow Submarine cartoon animated movie.
Now, is that deliberate?
Is he meant to be or is that just a bit of like...
I don't know.
Is he heavily inspired?
Yeah, I don't want to cause any lawsuits happening here, but...
What if this was like when...
Who was it who was on Spicks and Specks and...
Colin Hay.
Yeah.
There was a...
The question that got him taken to court.
Yeah.
What if this was like that?
Yeah.
Can we...
No, I mean...
What if we sink...
The Just for Life folks will give us money for a month
and then we end up bankrupting them
by accusing them of intellectual property theft?
That would be horrible.
And I'm sure that's not true.
But that would be amazing if I was the first person to notice that.
Yes.
This festival has been going for a long time.
Well, it happened with Colin Hay.
So, you know.
Yeah.
Who knows?
That wasn't as obvious though.
I like when you've got the little Just for Laughs logo.
And then you've got the little green man, the little sponsor character mascot.
Yeah. And he's kind, and he's doubled over.
And in that image, all he's done is just see the title of the festival.
The name of the festival that he represents is enough to set him off.
This is a guy whose standards are just, you know,
he's laughing at just words.
They're not going to have a guy there going,
to be fair, looking at the words just for laughs isn't that funny
and so just grimacing.
You've got to, you know, look, I used to do graphic
design. I learned a thing or two, right?
And that is not to have people...
You learned what the blue meanie looks like by the sound of it.
One of the rules was don't put
don't have your character logo
looking like he's not enjoying the product.
That was one of the lessons.
That was maybe in first year, maybe second year, I'm not sure.
How do you explain that mural in the McDonald's in Camberwell
where Ronald is just spewing everywhere?
Well, look, I didn't do honours.
I'll tell you how you explain it.
I just made it up.
That explains it all.
That's how you come up with your ideas.
Yeah.
Look, should we go into it?
Yeah.
The ad's going to be 45 minutes if I have to explain my entire creative process.
Let's do an ad for your ideas.
Well, speaking of ideas.
Yes.
That I've had.
Yes.
And that you have had.
Yes.
Going and doing a live episode in Adelaide.
Oh, well, speaking of good ideas, not, well, not speaking of good ideas.
Yeah.
Just ideas.
Yeah.
Let's call it an idea.
We are going to be there October the 4th.
It's a Tuesday evening.
We have locked in some excellent guests who are coming along with us.
We've locked in air flights.
We've locked in hotels.
Beds to rest our weary heads on.
We've picked people that we like a lot that are going to have a lot of fun.
We're going to be there for 24 hours.
We always have an awesome all-day little party in Adelaide
and then do a big show at night.
Yeah.
This is the best.
Would you say this is the best line-up we've had in Adelaide?
No.
Yeah, I would.
No, some people very generous with their time.
We basically fly over our friends, put them up, whatever,
and that means generally you've got
to pick some people that you're good mates with but don't
always have a lot going on.
We're paying people to hang out with us.
Yeah.
So you've got to pick someone that's not that busy.
This time we've picked some people who really should have
better things to do than come with us.
Yes.
Yes, it's excellent.
Yeah, very good.
You're going to get a hell of a show there.
So Adelaide, you know, ignore everything we're saying.
Just do whatever the fuck you usually do.
Tickets are selling.
Yeah.
Officially.
Yeah.
Wow.
I won't say at what rate, at what speed, but they technically are selling.
Is it even worthwhile us doing this ad when we've obviously sold out?
Yeah.
By the time this goes out, we will have definitely sold it out.
We wouldn't have.
Guys, Adelaide please
Get some tickets
You're doing it again
It's after a long weekend
Oh
No I mean Adelaide are doing it again
Yeah
Yeah
What?
Like being slack with buying tickets
Oh
We got told it's after a long weekend
Yeah
Some people seem to think that's a bad idea
I think it's fine
I don't think we should be mentioning it at all
Well it's not like we're
alerting people to the fact. They own
calendars. They probably already know.
Yeah, but they don't need to be told that because we're
saying this. You cannot factor
that in at all. You just hear the number that
we say and then you go and you buy the ticket.
Sure. LittleDumbDumbClub.com, October 4th.
Come hang out with us. No one is coming in.
Perth. Perth has
just gone on sale. Do you want to say that?
Yeah. Hot off the presses. Yes.
Perth. You've been demanding it for ages.
You've seen, you've had your little envy session
that Adelaide went on sale.
Bunch of bloody little green monsters over there
in the west. Yeah, just like the Just for Laughs
festival. Little logo man.
Do you think that's what it is? He's jealous of Melbourne's
suicide house.
Yeah. No, he's laughing at us doing a show in Adelaide.
That's what he's doing.
So Perth, yeah, we've got a lot of messages from Perth going,
why did you put a show in Adelaide on sale?
You know, we're Perth.
We come.
We come along.
We buy tickets early.
We're good people.
You're right.
Yeah.
We did mean to put it on the same time, but we haven't.
So anyway, it's now on sale.
Yeah.
So please, Perth, you come out.
You grow over a year. It's a great trip over there. We always have a great lineup. We've got another great lineup. the same time but we haven't so anyway it's now on sale yeah um so please perth you come out you
grow over a year it's a great uh trip over there we always have a great lineup we've got another
great lineup this year you guys are an awesome crowd always the highlight one of the highlights
of the year for me with this podcast the perth episodes oh look at you very well attended look
who's come crawling back to perth oh everything else around the hour that we do the show.
No good.
Oh, you used to hate Perth.
Do you still hate Perth or do you just like the Perth side?
I like Perth a lot better now because I know a couple more people there.
So it's more fun.
Right.
And also when we go, we go with mates.
So there's people to hang out with at the gigs.
Okay.
I was basing my previous hate on it of being there by myself for a week.
Right.
Which is no good.
Right.
Not something I would recommend.
You don't like hanging out with yourself?
No.
Right.
There's a lot going on up there that I'm not ready to deal with.
Let's all get tickets to that show in Perth on Sunday, October 30.
Yes.
Do it.
LittleDumbDumbClub.com.
It's going to be great.
Also, we need to do a bit of Patreoning, Carl.
What have you got there?
You've got the… It's the new favourite segment of the show. Last week's won. to do a bit of Patreoning, Carl. What have you got there? You got the…
It's the new favourite segment of the show.
Last week's won.
Won over a lot of people, I think.
A lot of feedback.
Apparently, if you act like a complete fuckhead…
Yes.
…even more than usual…
Yes.
…people get into that.
And welcome to all our listeners listening through to the ad for the second time after
doing it for the first time last week.
Yeah.
A lot of people don't usually listen and now I've found out that we are actually fitting
content into the little first section.
This is like the sealed section of this podcast.
Yeah.
Most people don't even know it exists.
Not that sealed.
We put it right up front.
It couldn't be any less sealed.
So you guys probably know how this works by now.
Patreon, you can chip in to support the show every month.
We really appreciate it.
It's you saying thank you for getting this show every week for free
and at each different level you get rewards like a little newsletter
that we do up, a bonus episode.
And in certain cases, you get your name read out on this podcast.
Yeah, you nearly get your name read out whatever you do on –
as long as you're not putting $1 in.
Yeah. Out of interest, how many people do on just $1? Oh, there's a few name read out whatever you do. As long as you're not putting $1 in.
Yeah.
Out of interest, how many people do on just $1?
Oh, there's a few.
There's quite a few.
Which is sort of weird because like A, you're putting in $1.
Like fucking good one.
$1 a month.
Yes.
It's like we're dirty beggars on the street.
I mean I know we are anyway but $1.
You're on purpose putting just $1 less than the amount where you get your name read out.
Like as much as I agree with you and I go,
why wouldn't you just put in two?
At the same time, you are going, why don't you just double your investment?
Yeah.
So when you put it in those terms, it is a big ask.
No, it's not.
It's two dollars.
Anyway, should I do some names now?
Yeah.
Should we say some individual thank yous?
Should I look through the looking glass and give a big shout out,
thanks for all of your money, to Lucas Dan.
Dan.
I love.
Dan Straight.
Thanks for the cash.
Thank you very much to Terry Grinter.
Oh, the Grinter.
Yeah, the Grint Man.
That's a good name.
Is it?
I like it.
Grinter.
It's a real, it's a very old school name, I think.
Well, you know, I really like animation and cartoonists and stuff.
And a lot of cartoonists have kind of like, that's kind of,
that makes me think that's like a cartoonist, like a weird Terry Grinter.
Yeah, right.
It does sound a bit like a fake name.
It sounds a lot like
Rod Grinter,
the old AFL player
who I think just broke
someone's jaw open
and made sure they
couldn't eat ever again.
So I'll associate him
with you.
I like,
that says a lot
about you and me.
It reminds me of a cartoonist
and it reminds you
of some cunt
who broke someone's jaw.
Grinto.
Thank you to Tom Knowles.
But it's not Tom as in your Tom, T-O-M.
It's Thom as in
Thom York. I'll tell you
I went through a phase
in late high school where I contemplated
doing that.
At that age where you're like looking to
you're already looking beyond school and
thinking, alright, how can I carve out a unique
identity for myself?
Jesus.
Yeah.
Yeah, no good.
Sorry, Tom York.
I mean Tom Knoll.
Tom York isn't sponsoring us.
Hey, thanks, Tom York,
for all the great music you've put out over the years.
Yeah.
Yeah, I didn't mean to thank Tom York
because he's only shipping $1 a month.
Yeah, thanks, Tom York,
for those 70 tickets to the last Radiohead concert that you gave me.
We talked about that ages ago on the show.
We talked about it ages ago.
Ages and ages ago.
The last time Radiohead toured, tickets went on sale.
There was a big snafu with people.
Couldn't get into – couldn't log into Ticketmaster.
Tickets sold out very quickly.
There were a lot of people on Facebook going, oh, who got tickets?
Did anyone get tickets?
Could anyone get the website to work?
You get on there and go, I got 70 tickets to Radiohead.
Who wants one?
For free.
Who wants them for free?
And it really brings out all the people that you never hear from on Facebook
that you added that you went to school with
and then you've never had any communication with them ever again.
All of a sudden, very up for a chat, aren't they?
It got passed on to friends of friends.
It was people I've never met that went,
I heard you're giving away 70 tickets to Radiohead.
Can I have 15?
Someone I've never met.
You and I were driving somewhere and you'd just done it
and we were both crying in the car.
The fact, yeah, no worries, just a lazy 15.
But it's come back to bite me because like literally last week I was trying to sell a
ticket to – I bought tickets to Comedy Bang Bang.
Yes.
And I just put up like I've got one for sale.
Everyone's like, no, you don't.
Like listeners literally messaged me going, is this for real?
Like who else gets that?
So people believed 70 but then one, well, that's too good to be true.
But I like how they think I've downgraded my creativity with my lies.
Like I was saying, I got 70 tickets for free to Radiohead.
Now I've got one that I'm selling to Comedy Bang Bang.
Yes.
Oh, good joke, Chandler.
He's got us.
What a cracker.
Anyway, thanks, Tom.
Thanks, Tony Oak.
Tony Johansson.
Thanks, Tony Johansson, for all the funds.
You know what I did with your money?
I just ate a pizza.
Oh, yeah.
So I put that towards a pizza.
So the pizza was, well, it was $20, right?
Yeah.
So one-tenth of the pizza.
Oh, no, no.
Maybe most of a slice.
Not quite a full slice.
Well, I'm not sure how much money he has put in.
He mightn't be a $2 person. I'm not sure. Well, maybe he paid for the whole pizza. Yeah. Well, I don't think – I'm not sure how much money he has put in. He mightn't be a $2 person.
I'm not sure.
Well, maybe he paid for the whole pizza.
Yeah.
No, he didn't.
He paid for a slice.
Thanks for the slice.
I don't want to ruin the image of us just pouring money into the podcast.
Like, you know, we use this money to live with.
Yes.
Yeah.
This is a job for us now.
It doesn't so much finance anything to do with the podcast.
It finances us not dying of starvation.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because sometimes when we do stuff and people go, oh, just use the Patreon.
It's like, no, we use that.
That's basically the money we get from the Patreon is sort of like a part-time job for
us.
It's like a day a week's work, really.
Totally.
Yeah.
Read out the next name.
So, because I want to find out who paid for my dinner.
All right.
Here's who paid your dinner.
Oh, this is a very interesting choice.
Okay.
Read out the name and then I'll tell them what I had. All right. He's who paid your dinner. Oh, this is a very interesting choice. Okay. Read out the name and then I'll tell them what I had.
All right.
Well, okay.
Ollie Harris.
Ollie Harris.
Yeah.
I know that.
I know that name.
I know you do.
Do we?
Yeah.
Does he mind if we say who it is?
No, I don't think he does.
But what if this makes it easier for his enemies to come at him?
Enemies of his double identity.
Yeah.
Should we?
We better not say. Should we say?
Yeah, say.
Oh, it's Terry Pedestrian.
Yeah.
If you enjoyed Terry Pedestrian's work over the last year or two.
Okay, Terry Pedestrian.
Here's what I did with your money.
Did you drive your car every day to pick some food up?
Well, I didn't.
I walked to the supermarket, which his name's Pedestrian.
So I'm still kind of still on brand.
Sure.
Look, he probably would have preferred it for me to use my car.
I didn't know at the time that he was who the money was coming from.
If I had have, I would have polluted the environment by unnecessarily driving my car two blocks to the supermarket.
A great tribute.
I got – I just wanted to do something quick tonight.
So I got some tortellini and then a little fresh creamy bacon and mushroom sauce.
I cooked that up.
You feel good?
I finished that mere seconds before you turned up.
Okay, Ollie.
Do you feel good?
You fed your sponsor's child?
You literally put a meal in your little mate's belly tonight?
Yeah.
Thanks for that, Ollie.
Yeah, I've been hungover today.
It was a nice little comfort food, nice little pasta treat.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, let's say this.
This is what you paid for, the next guest.
You paid for a drink for Daslo to get pissed and wreck his voice last night.
Yes.
He can do a worse job on the podcast.
Okay, one of those pints of stone and wood that I had last night.
Who helped me out?
Brett Jappeljari.
Is that hyphenated?
No.
Jappeljari. Jappeljari? I don't know. There's a J there. Jappel Jari Is that hyphenated? No Jappal Jappal Jari Jappal Jari
Jappal Yari
I don't know
There's a J there
Jappal Jari
Spell it out
J-A-P-A-L-J-A-R-R-I
Jappal
Jappal Jari
Jappal
Jappal Jari
Oh yeah maybe
Jappal Jari
Is this racist?
Yeah
I don't know
I don't know
It might be Jappal Jari Is it racist? Yeah I don't know I don't know It might be Jaipal Yow
Is it racist
If you're just looking at the name
And you're too dumb
To know how to say it out loud
That can't technically be racism
That is a big merge
Of two very distinct cultures there
Where you've gone
Jaipal Jerry
And Brett
Yeah
Well now that's
Now it's definitely racist
That's racist
I'm happy to be racist
Against Brett
That's fine Thank you to Kate Thanks be racist against Bretts. That's fine.
Thank you to Kate.
Thanks for the pint, Bret.
Yeah.
Thanks to Kate Martin.
A very straight name that we don't have much to talk about.
Yeah.
Kato.
It's nice to get these little palate cleansers in the middle of.
Well, you know what?
I enjoy it because out of the ones, the people that are,
the sponsors that I'm naming today, this is the only girl.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Thanks, girls, for finally chipping in.
Very sexist of you.
Guys doing all the work, giving us all the money, and girls are giving us fuck all.
Holy shit.
Thanks, Marto, though.
You're one of the good ones.
One of the good ones.
Come on, girls.
Break that glass ceiling and give us some money.
good ones one of the good ones come on girls break that glass ceiling and give us some money break open break open that glass ceiling like a certain piggy bank
get your coins out and throw them at us yeah
come on ladies uh who else we got uh we've got a very familiar face uh name here uh one of our
long long long time listeners from Adelaide and also someone who
has complained, one of my favourite people, to complain about having not had their name
read out yet.
Yes.
But that's effective because we haven't got to everyone yet.
If you're the squeaky wheel, sure, you're going to get some grease.
Here comes a big bucket of grease, Rodney Hervarton.
Ah, Rodney.
Drink that grease down.
Rodney, one of the most long time listeners, I Rodney Rodney One of the
One of the most
Long time
I was going to say
One of the oldest
Listeners we have
That makes it sound like
I'm talking about his age
He might be a day one
I think
He's
Well you know why
You remember him so much
Is because he's from Adelaide
And we tend to know
Everyone that
Buys tickets
To our show in Adelaide
It's like
The gig
And the meet and greet Afterwards Are like one and the same thing.
Yeah.
They're both very intimate affairs.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
You see, like, Comedy Bang Bang and the Dollop, these podcasts, they do their little meet
and greet session afterwards and get people to pay for them.
Imagine us doing that.
Yeah.
It'd be worth trying, wouldn't it?
No.
I think it would be highly embarrassing.
Highly fucking embarrassing.
I reckon we're – would this be true?
We're too accessible.
And I know it's ludicrous of me to be saying that when I'm the one
that gave out your phone number.
But we are too accessible.
Do you reckon – I reckon we're the podcast.
We perform in venues that don't have backstages.
We're just sitting in the crowd before the show begins.
But we'll stand at the end of the show.
We'll stand by the door and go, thanks, everyone.
And people pretty much walk out looking at us like they don't know who we are.
I reckon we'd have to pay them to do a meet and greet.
Yeah, sure, sure.
All right.
So let's do that next time.
Okay, cool.
Let's pay people to talk to us.
How much would you pay for a meet and greet?
That's what we want to know, guys.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. All right. How much is too pay for a meet and greet? That's what we want to know, guys. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
All right.
How much is too much?
No one wants to do it.
I don't reckon one person
would do it.
No, well, because like
we do shows all the time
where we go to bakeries
with people afterwards
and get pissed.
You can't do that
for like five years
and then just all of a sudden
withdraw it and go
now it costs money.
You're right.
You know what we are?
New slogan for the show.
We are the people's podcasters.
That's it.
We're the champions.
We are, yeah.
Yeah.
Thanks to Daniel Hogan.
Ah, Hoags.
Yeah.
And you give us money.
You love our show, which makes us Daniel Hogan's heroes.
I was going to go with a more Crocodile Dundee thing.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we're going to go with it.
You call that a pledge?
This is a pledge.
Very good. Thanks, Ho thing. Oh, yeah. What are we going to go with? You call that a pledge? This is a pledge. Very good.
Thanks, Hoags.
Three to go.
Paul Coffee.
Thanks to Paul Coffee.
Flat white, please.
That's very good.
He would never have heard anything like that before.
What's something that Paul Coffee would never have heard?
What if you went, you know, you go to a cafe.
Well, you don't drink coffee, but I assume you're familiar with with this premise you go and order a coffee and they ask for your name
to call out what if when you order they go what's the name for the order if you just went
coffee yeah yeah and what happens then when people yell out coffee
that's good i'm gonna try that that tomorrow Yeah I'm going to try that
What about you do this
You go there
And they say
What's your name
And you go
Cup of tea
And then they yell out
Cup of tea
And then give you a coffee
What's your name
Hot sperm
Yeah
Alright
Hey
Second last one
Big shout out
To this person
This person
Who is a regular
Patron of our show That we haven't read out yet.
Senator Sam Dastyari.
Thanks, Dasher.
Yeah.
Thanks, one of the leaders of this country.
What I like about his little subscription is, though, is that he subscribes and pays a decent little amount of money.
But he's kicked a box that sort of goes,
I don't want any of the bonus stuff.
Right.
So he gives the money but makes it clear that he doesn't want our magazine.
So by reading this out, are we now committing a federal offence?
Yeah.
Yeah, we're guilty of treason.
Yeah, great.
Yeah.
We're going to jail.
Yeah, cool.
Next episode, live from Pintridge.
There's no such thing as Pintridge. Yeah, what a shame, right? Yeah, what a shame. We could have to jail. Yeah, cool. Next episode, live from Pentridge. There's no such thing as Pentridge anymore.
Yeah, what a shame, right?
Yeah, what a shame.
We could have been there.
It kind of is a shame that there's now no prisons in Melbourne.
There's no prisons in Melbourne.
There's no prisons.
They got rid of Pentridge.
There's no prisons in Melbourne.
Yeah, all the criminals just roam free.
Really?
You can commit any crime you want and they charge you,
but then they're like, oh, wait, we've got nowhere to send you.
Oh, wow.
Because Pentridge closed down.
Fuck.
So I guess just go back out in the streets and if you could not do this again,
that would be great.
But also even if you do, you now know that nothing is going to happen to you.
So if I stab you right now.
Yes.
Nothing happens.
Yes.
Well, something happens.
Yeah.
I have a stab wound.
Yeah, yeah, right.
Yeah.
But what happens to me?
Nothing.
You just have to live with the guilt of what you've done.
But you're already living with a lot of guilt about things that you've done over the years,
I reckon.
Where's the kitchen again?

Enjoy this episode with
Scott Ockerman and Celia Pakwala Hey mates, welcome once again into the little dum-dum club for another week
Thank you so much for joining us
My name is Tommy Dasolo and sitting next to me is the other half of the show, Carl Chan
G'day dickhead
Would you say it's fair to say that this show is pretty popular?
And it's getting more popular?
Is that fair?
It's like in comparison to many very popular things,
I would say no.
But in comparison to many worse things than us, I would say yes.
Yes, because I've crossed a line where I feel like it's just popular enough now that you know what I'm going to start doing,
and you've been a fan of this for a long time.
I'm starting to work the old block button on Twitter.
Oh, yeah. Because, you know, we both get a lot of abuse online. I, for a long time i'm starting to work the old block button on twitter oh yeah because i you know we both get a lot of abuse online yeah i for a long
time i've had a thing where it's like you can't block these people because you need them yeah
your fans you can't afford to be but i just i looked at our stats again today and i thought
we've gone up we've had another leap i'm gonna start but i was on the way here i saw on twitter
someone called me ugly yeah i went fuck this hey i'm not putting up with this anymore I'm on Team Daslow
I was on the
Dum Dum account
on the Dum Dum Twitter account
and I blocked them for you
oh great
so now they have
maybe they're still listening
they can't get us on Twitter
this is the only access
they have to us
they can't hurt you anymore
it feels so good
it feels so good to go
I can lose these people
it doesn't matter
there's enough
other good ones out there
everyone out there
we see you as dollar bills
and now we can afford to get
rid of some of you. Yeah, because three years ago those people
were like, that was 50% of our market.
You can't fuck around with that. That's how well we're
doing. We can burn people who
call us ugly. That's how good we are.
Well, time to bring in two people who are doing
way better than us. I can't imagine how
many people these two block between them.
First of all, you know her from
Utopia and from Have You Been Paying Attention.
Please welcome back into the little Dumb Dumb Club, Celia Pukwala.
Hello. It's been forever.
Yeah, it has been a while. And I get,
yes, I was, oh no,
that's too dark to start with. Let's talk about something else first.
Oh, we can pull up to it. Let's bookmark that one.
I was on Have You Been Paying Attention the other night
and, oh no, it's all come back to it. It's dark.
Okay. Okay. We'll
work up to it.
Also joining us, you know him from Comedy Bang Bang,
the podcast and TV show.
Please welcome back into Little Dumb Dumb Club, Scott Orkerman.
Yay!
G'day, dickheads, you ugly fucks.
Yeah, this guy gets it.
That's good stuff.
What do you get, Scott?
Do you get much, do you go the block button?
Do you get bother button stuff?
Yeah, anytime, I don't know.
I just don't want to hear it from people. Anytime anyone writes to me, I'll just block them.
Positive or negative. Oh, really?
I just don't bother me.
No, I
tend to, I don't understand why
anyone ever criticizes anyone online.
Like, can you imagine
going online and
writing a comment about
something? I just don't, I don't understand the psychosis behind that.
And particularly when they, like,
atting the person who it's about.
So it's on purpose making sure that they've seen it.
Yeah, but I can't even understand, like,
going online and writing something.
It's like, what kind of lunatic does that?
So anyway, I just don't want to hear it from people.
Because I tried to do that trick.
I know you're a fan of this, Carl. This guy called me
ugly and I go, righto, I'm fucking
finding photos of this guy. Let's see
what this guy's got going on. But he,
you notice, very classic move. No
photos of him online, are there? No photos
on his account. Was he an egg?
No, he was some little cartoon
thing. Oh, mate. The cartoon.
Yeah. Classic
ugly. Yeah.
I actually did have a quick look
at that guy's account and I did find a photo and went,
Oh, really? He's pretty decent looking.
Oh, thanks for bringing
that up. That's great.
Yeah. So I didn't have a lot. Because I was thinking,
you know what? I'm going to do a comeback for my friend
Tommy. And then I was like, nah, I got nothing.
Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. Sorry.
All right. This guy's out there just laughing
in his ivory tower right now. But we do, so
your fans, like the Comedy Bang Bang fans,
are they sort of decent people in general?
Yeah, no, they're great
people. I mean, you could tell us.
Nah, they suck.
They're terrible. No, no, there's
so many, I mean, that's
the good thing about Twitter or like
when we do meet and greets after
the shows you you meet so many people that your work means so much to them and they talk about
like literally so many people have told me that they were going to commit suicide and then they
listen to the show it's like very overwhelming stuff and then you get like one jerk going
like you know completely the opposite yeah you know. Completely the opposite. Yeah.
And that's the person you focus on the entire time.
That's what we get a lot of.
We listen to your show and now kill ourselves.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You have the 99 people saying that their show,
your show makes them want to kill you. Yeah.
And then the one person who goes, you guys are all right.
Yeah.
It actually does freak us out when people say positive things.
Like we've got these,
we've bred this horrible culture on this show where people want to be negative to us thinking
that that's what we like.
Something's happened to this show since the last time you were on it.
It's become a hotbed of negativity.
I haven't been on it for ages and it's got, last time I did it was, the last ones I've
done have done the live ones which seem particularly boisterous by which I mean everyone's being
counts to each other.
I don't think we can do that anymore. It's too much.
What? The live shows.
Oh, we're not going to do that. It's too much.
Let's not do any episodes anymore.
Let's take that advice and kill ourselves.
No, no, but I know you.
No.
No, you.
You're hitting every vowel.
No, I owe you.
It takes me a very long time to say anything.
Guys.
Guys.
But I know, you know, but we know that they're not,
that you're nice and that you actually have feelings,
just that opening thing that people, you know.
Is it because you're like open with like calling him a dickhead?
Yeah.
It's a lot of that sort of stuff.
Yeah.
That's what I think people don't understand is like comedians can do that to each other.
Yeah.
And then people listen to that and go, yeah, I'm going to do that to them.
And then we go, hey, why are you making fun of me?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you do get that when people hit us up online and they'll say stuff like that.
And then you just go, go fucking kill yourself.
Fuck off.
Don't talk to me anymore.
And then I block them and then they'll find another way of contacting me and going,
I thought you wanted me
to call you a cunt.
I'm like,
there's been a misunderstanding.
We've had people start
multiple accounts
just to get over,
just to get through,
subvert us blocking them
so they can get the abuse
in and out.
Yeah.
I've blocked people
on Twitter,
Facebook,
and then they ring me up.
They get my phone number
and they ring me about it.
What is your phone number?
Oh,
don't.
It's out there already.
It's a thing.
Yeah.
But it's already warped.
You've got to understand, from their mind, it is confusing because you guys are best
friends, obviously, and really, really mean to each other.
That's not what I'm seeing from my vantage point.
But do you know what I mean?
So from people on the outside, they go, well, you're friends for so long and you've got
to be mean to each other.
So for me to be your friend, that's what you want.
You're giving the people mixed messages and then they mean
to you and then you block them. They're like, they must really
like what I'm doing. This visually
looks very correct because you're
doing all that. Scott's lying down on the
couch like he's a patient and a psychiatrist.
It sounds like you're a psycho.
I don't have an answer for it. Generally, people are
messed up and there's no
rules. I think if people take the
time to listen to you, that's awesome.
That doesn't mean they're necessarily good people.
No. Or we're good people.
Yeah, no one's good. I wonder about
that. Who's the worst person that
listens to the show? Do you ever think that's going to happen?
There must be some very, very dodgy people.
What's your criteria? Because anyone can get it.
Do people in prison have podcasts?
Can you do that? Yeah, sure.
I wonder if there's anyone who listens to this show that's like murdered someone?
I mean, you have podcasts and this is like a prison island, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, totally Honestly, if someone knows that
Like if there are people out there that work in a prison
Because to listen to a podcast in prison
You have to have access to a computer or an iPod And you don't have that do you yeah but you are you allowed those things can
people come visit you and bring you like an ipod loaded with some podcasts i don't know that you
can sneak a key through people's ears through sound yeah could it be like a conjugal visit a
fake one where they go we're just gonna have sex and then secretly here's a here's an iphone with
a new episode of Dum Dum Club.
Yeah, that's not bad.
When's the last time someone snuck a key into a prison, by the way?
It's fun to think about, isn't it?
Like, where would they get the key?
Yeah.
How would they know it would open that particular cell door?
They'd have to be baking, like, a swipe card now into a bank.
Surely, it's not like an actual key.
Yeah, but people do still break out of prison.
Like, there are still...
You hear about it every once in a actual key. Yeah. But people do still break out of prison. Like there are still like... You hear about it every once in a rare while.
Yeah.
Someone breaking out.
And usually they're gone for like a day.
Yeah.
But it's the really rare ones that are gone for like a week
and there's a manhunt and all that kind of stuff.
I got obsessed with a show on Netflix,
an American show called I Almost Got Away With It.
And it's about people who committed a crime.
They went on the run.
And in a lot of cases, they went on the run and in a lot of cases they were on the run
for like 10 years.
Like they go to Mexico and they're just living it up.
They're just there.
Everything's fine.
And then one day they go, I reckon I might check in back home
and see what's going on.
And then within 10 seconds the cops go, see ya.
I was very proud.
I come from a tiny country town called Maribor and it's like 8,000 people.
But we do get a very good amount of press
because a lot of people in that town commit crimes.
And there was a guy...
There was a guy...
Crimes against content happening right now.
There was a guy that was like this.
I've never seen this, but it was like in a cartoon or a TV show
where a guy, like there was a prison van gets stopped at the lights
and then a guy, like a prisoner just jumps out of the back and like runs away
and gets a cab and like disappears.
A cab?
Yeah.
Wow.
It was a guy from my hometown and I knew the guy.
Wow.
But I didn't, he didn't hide out at my place.
In terms of the getting caught like for something years later,
see this is the dangerous thing with like secret, I could never,
I'm not good in the long game, like I'll end up telling secrets if enough times pass
yeah it feels like it's not a secret but it's always gonna see it like like if
you framed someone I would eventually have to get the credit for that and go
something yeah yeah nothing happened yeah if you do the crime you want to
tell people about it right yeah yeah Yeah. Wouldn't you? Yeah. I mean, otherwise, why bother?
Because if you murder someone, that's a pretty big deal.
Like, that would...
For them.
Yeah, definitely.
It's something I won't forget.
It's like, how does that not come up in conversations?
Like, that'd be hard.
Do you have dreams about murdering people, by the way?
I have them every once in a while where you go,
oh, I just murdered someone. Well, I guess
I'm a murderer now and I'll just
think about that every day.
And I've woken up and gone, well,
I'll call my mom first and tell her that I'm never going
to see her again because I'm going to jail forever
and then slowly I'll go, hang on, you're on
your couch, Celia. Yeah, that's a good bit
after you wake up where you're still in the dream.
Why are you sleeping on your couch, by the way?
I do what I want. You're on yours. I'm worried about you Why are you sleeping on your couch, by the way? I do what I want.
I'm worried about you.
That's a sign of depression, by the way.
I just bought a TV so I can
play Xbox in my room. Is that a sign of depression?
As a matter of fact,
every part of that sentence.
I impulse bought it and it's
a terrible TV. Is that a sign of depression?
I'll top you. Last night...
Please don't top me.
I'll dream about topping you. Last night. Please don't top me. I'll dream about topping you.
Last night I finally found the computer game that I was addicted to in 1993.
Road, road, 93.
You won't pick it.
How does your suit Larry?
No, you won't pick it.
Duck Hunt?
No, it's called Championship Manager where you pretend to manage. Those sports games where you don't pick it. Duck Hunt? No, it's called Championship Manager, where you pretend to manage...
Those sports games where you don't actually play the sport?
Where you pretend to manage, what, a store?
No, a soccer team.
But there's absolutely no vision of the game being played.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You have to be the person who's telling the soccer team what to do?
You don't get to actually play?
No, no, no.
You pick the team.
If you are into admin, it is a very good choice.
Oh, Carl.
I'm so sorry.
I couldn't find a computerized to-do list.
So, yeah, this is the next best thing.
So, it's just an Excel spreadsheet really, isn't it?
It's very text-oriented.
Read a book.
So, I found it and I was addicted to it like 20 years ago.
And for 20 years, I've been thinking about going.
I wonder if I – it's like I feel like an ex-alcoholic. I've been thinking about going, I wonder if I, it's like,
I feel like an ex-alcoholic.
I feel like,
you know,
I've always been like,
maybe if I just have
one drink I can just,
you know,
just have a sip
and I can go on
with my life or whatever.
I downloaded it last time.
My girlfriend is away
for like a couple of days.
I downloaded it last night
at six o'clock.
I went to bed at four
in the morning.
I just played it all night
and I picked a lot of teams.
What's the A?
How do you win?
Well, it's like soccer.
You've got to pick the team.
As soon as you turn it on, you've lost forever.
Yeah, I didn't do a lot of winning last night in life,
but in the game I did some winning.
Weird way for you to brag about having a girlfriend.
Yeah.
All right.
I get it.
I don't have a shot.
I would love to know just going,
because I've never had a dream that I've murdered someone.
Really?
And I'd love to know what that means that you have
and that I haven't.
I think you dream about the things that you're never going to do.
I have a lot of sex dreams, yeah.
It's usually, for me, it's very rare,
but it's never particularly passionate or anything.
It's usually someone I don't know.
It's more an accident.
An accident.
You realize after the fact, it's like, oh, no, it's never a.
It's usually after the fact for me.
I never dream about the actual murder.
I just like I'm suddenly in a situation where I realize I have murdered someone.
Right.
And you're like, oh, no, and I can't tell anyone.
And now I'm a murderer.
And so do you have that bit when you wake up and you're like in bed and i can't tell anyone and now i'm a murderer and so do you have that bit when
you wake up and you you like in bed and you still get your eyes closed so you're awake and you and
you're fully believing it's still going this is the thing i'm gonna have to ring mom and tell her
yeah for eight days right and i go on the lamb has anyone ever actually woken up on a garbage boat? Oh, yeah. Did you say garbage butt? Yeah.
What did you call me?
Boat.
Boat.
Has anyone woken up on a garbage boat?
There's always someone who goes on a bender and they wake up on a barge.
On their way to Hanoi.
On a garbage butt.
Is this technically racism?
Is that what this is?
Are you guys a race now?
I remember the last time you were on our show
We were talking about if you would ever come to Australia
And I believe your direct quote was
Why would I ever go there?
I know and look at me
Well well well look who's come crawling back
Look who's come crawling back
Well you're not going to come back to USA
We might
Oh really? Well the dollar's really bad now It's not as good as it once was Look who's come crawling back. Well, you're not going to come back to USA. We might.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Well, the dollar's really bad now, so it's not as good as it once was.
Yeah, yeah.
That was sweet days.
When we were seeing you in LA, that was like a dollar for dollar.
But now it's like 70 cents or something like that.
You know what?
I don't care what your dollar is worth. Well, you should because you're here now
and you're buying a lot more stuff than you used to be able to.
That's a good thing.
Is that how rich you are?
You don't even care how much a dollar is worth now.
You just buy whatever you want.
Impulse buying all day. Yes.
What do you want me to say?
I don't know prices
of things anymore.
You'll get there, guys.
Let the record show he shrugged and made a weird prices of things anymore, you'll get there, guys. Yeah.
Let the record show he shrugged and made a weird eye thing.
In the time since you were on the show last,
you've had a TV show and
wrapped it up and we've just done more of these.
Yeah, well, you know.
And everyone's winning.
Yeah, well, apart from us, which is 50%, which is not
everyone. Careers go the other way around
down here. Yeah, yeah. It's different.
It's just a house. They start good and then go down
the toilet. The other way.
Yeah. We now
share a gym, Celia Piccolo.
Yes, we do. Yeah.
We go to the same gymnasium. We go to the same gym.
It's Hawthorne.
Shout out to the Hawthorne gym.
I am surprised about you
going to the gym. You'll be surprised about me as well. I don't go to the gym. I will go to the Hawthorne gym. I am surprised about you going to the gym.
You're going to be surprised about me as well.
I don't go to the gym.
I will go to the gym until I look like when other people wouldn't know what I'm doing there.
Do you know what I mean?
Like if I saw me in the gym, I'd go, yeah, I see what you're doing there.
You're trying to work out.
And then you want to go until someone's like, why is she going to the gym?
There's people that I see in the gym.
She's a smoke show.
Is that a good thing?
Yeah. Smoke show is good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's people in the gym. She's a smoke show. Is that a good thing? Yeah.
Smoke show is good, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
There's people in the gym.
I'm like, what are you doing here?
She's a dime piece.
Is that a good one?
That's also a good one.
She's a garbage butt.
She's a garbage butt.
I hope you're getting to know the regulars at the gym
that I notice all the time there.
There's just people there that like you just go,
how are you? There's people
I've been recognizing for a year that are just huge
and they work out really hard
and they never get any smaller. It's really weird.
What's the point? Yeah. What is the point?
Of anything. I know.
Is that a sign of depression?
The secret is
you got to change what you eat.
That's like 90% of it.
The working out is only like.
So you're from LA.
Like it's all image and appearance.
You must be at the gym every day.
Oh,
bro.
Look at me.
Yeah.
I'm on my way there after this.
Yeah.
That's you.
You in LA.
It's like you get up,
you go to the gym,
you get your morning coffee,
you see someone get,
you get car jacked.
Is this racist?
Yeah.
You work at a screen playing Starbucks.
Yeah.
You go stand in front of the Hollywood sign.
What else?
You go look at some stars' homes.
That's all we do in Hollywood.
Go get star maps and look at their homes.
You plant palm trees.
For the future generations.
Is that actually how you get home from work?
You just jump on the bus, which is the map of the stars' homes?
Yeah, exactly.
The TMZ bus.
And say, take me to my place.
And then point at it.
Well, we go to the same gym now
and whenever I see
you there, there's a bit of an unspoken
rule. Don't mess with each other.
You guys are in gym time.
You don't talk to each other.
I don't want to be there. Get out. I want to do my stuff and get out.
I'm feeling gross. I'm looking gross. What do you do at the gym? Well, I don't want to be there. Get out. I want to do my stuff and get out. Feeling gross and looking gross.
What do you do at the gym normally?
Well, I've started seeing a lady there,
a personal trainer lady every now and then.
Weird way to tell me that you have a personal trainer.
A lady.
She's so cool.
Because she's cool because she doesn't mind me telling the exercises to fuck off.
I swear a lot and I give a lot of... And I tell her I hate it a lot.
So this is a personal trainer?
Yeah.
Right.
So I see her for half an hour,
like maybe two or three times a week
and then if I go by myself,
I do the stuff that she told me to do
and I run on the treadmill a bit.
But what's the point?
But I'm doing it so that I can continue the lifestyle
of which I am accustomed.
And that is?
Eating and drinking everything.
Okay.
No, but it doesn't work like that apparently.
So you're doing like maintenance essentially to keep where you're at.
You're doing damage control.
I'm doing damage control.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm turning water.
Right.
You've got a sledgehammer inside the house smashing holes in walls
while you're painting the front door.
Just think of how terrible you would look if you weren't at the gym.
Exactly.
I do.
On my couch playing Xbox.
And Carl, what are you doing there?
So I'm trying my best, but I know you're looking at me
and you've said something demeaning already.
But isn't that what you guys like?
Don't block me.
Kill yourself.
So I've been going and it's that thing.
When I go to a gym, I don't know how anything works. So I've been going and i and it's that thing you know when i go to a gym i don't
know how anything works so i've been going there for like a year and sort of just like tugging and
pulling at things and if they move i go okay i think this is this is my girlfriend again yeah
so a tiny bit of weight in there a few milliliters so i i've been doing what i think is what you
should be doing. And
you know, there's been a little bit of difference
but I sort of think
my sort of semi-dream is always to be a personal
trainer. But I thought, I think I should study
under one first.
And by I want to be a personal trainer in that
I want to yell at people. Like I don't really care
what they do. I just want to have permission to tell
people what to do. You want to order people around. Yeah. I had no idea.
Is this for real? No. Now you've said this before. I've want to have permission to tell people what to do. You want to order people around. Yeah. I had no idea. Is this for real? No.
You said this before.
I've known you for 10 years.
I just like the idea
that I watch
The Biggest Loser,
the TV show
The Biggest Loser
and I just love
that they're telling people
You relate to the trainers
on that.
Most people relate
to the fat people.
No, no, no, no, no.
You're the person
that relates to
people yelling.
I want to bully people.
Yeah, that's what I want to do.
You do bully people.
But I want to get paid for it.
When you watch like army movies like Stripes,
you relate to the drill instructors.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm like, why don't you listen to the sergeant?
He's making sense.
Bill Murray, you idiot.
Just do what they're telling you.
He wants us to protect you if you ever have to go off to war.
Yeah, without structure, there's chaos.
Just, God.
Anyway, so I have... Forget it. You're, God, anyway So, I have
Forget it, you're a real piece of shit
I have a solution, why don't you yell at her
That's too scary, no, I need
No, no, no
I need them to
Not yell at me
I do the yelling at the exercise itself
Not at her
I don't guarantee results at all
It's all for me
I'd lose weight
But like
How much did tears weigh?
That's pretty much it
I'd go
And then I'd eat
Then I'd comfort eat
It'd be a real disaster
Yeah
Yeah
I'm the only winner out of this
Yeah
So I've started getting a personal trainer
Oh yeah
So this is like a week ago
I went for the first time
Instead of just doing my own thing
I got a personal trainer
I went along And they go So I pay for it and the guy goes do you want you
know half an hour an hour and i'm like an hour i mean i don't want to get ripped off like if that's
a if that's the same price for both i get i get the hour give me everything and it's that classic
thing of walking into something you don't know what you're walking into and so this guy just
and he goes what have you done before i'm like i do're walking into. And so this guy just – and he goes, what have you done before? I'm like, I do everything.
I do a podcast.
So this guy just like caned me without me knowing and I got to like 40 minutes in.
And I was like, oh, I've got to – I have to go to the toilet for just like a minute.
I'll be back in a minute.
And I went into the cubicle and I lay on the ground for 20 minutes only alternating in resting my face on the toilet
seat oh what's from him he's still out there yeah yeah yeah he was like outside the toilet door
like i mean not that took like the big toilet or now it's like the cubicle door but like i was
well aware he was like i was thinking he's gonna come in and barge in on me. But at this stage.
Like that scene in Dumb and Dumber at the truck stop.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, but like weirdly, like this is the sort of place that my brain went.
Inexplicably, I'd taken all my clothes off in the cubicle at that point.
Wait, wait, okay.
Okay, now we get to the real story.
Yeah.
Okay.
You took your clothes off.
Yeah.
And I feel like
You glossed over this detail
You're resting your head
On the toilet
Yeah yeah yeah
So you've got the full
The lids up
No no no
It was on the lid
On the closed lid
No no no
Oh sorry
No not the top top hat lid
On the butt
On the place where the butt
The place where the butt is
The garbage butt
That's where your head is
Yeah my head is
On the bit where the
Spillage of the
Where he goes on
Yeah
That's where my face is.
The most precious part of my body.
It's because you couldn't show it.
Did it have a lid?
You didn't.
Oh, yeah, I didn't think of that.
I actually didn't think of that until then.
Gateway to the anus.
That's where I want to rest my head.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The worst place in the universe is where I put my face.
Yeah.
It's the worst place in the universe.
Why did you take off your clothes?
I don't know.
I was so out of my mind.
Scott, I was just debating whether to ask why,
but it seems like a fool's errand.
We're never going to get anything out of this.
No, but it's like,
how does it work when you do too much exercise or something?
Like there's all this lactic acid, is it?
Is that the buildup or something?
It just made me sort of go crazy.
Can I ask another question?
Yes.
In the stall,
is it one of the half doors that goes up a little
bit or is it a full door that goes all the way to the no no it's like a half door okay so you're
lying there your head is on the toilet so you so essentially your junk is just in full view yeah
yeah yeah oh no but it was that was like that was like a good position for me at that point at one
point i was literally lying on the ground right like just that's better. Your head's not in a toilet.
Lying on the ground is better.
But what I mean is that you could see more.
If you were looking, if you were trying to see from outside,
you would have seen more because I was lying on the ground
with everything on the ground.
I've never heard of this reaction.
I was just going.
Oh, hey, I remember at one stage I was thinking,
there's not enough room in here.
Maybe I should lie outside, like in the full view bit.
Fucking hell.
Because you couldn't, like was your heart, did you feel like you were going to be sick?
No, it was my brain.
It was my brain was super clouded.
I was like, I didn't know what was going on.
I was just like, I don't know how to get out of this.
I don't know how to stop being crazy.
And did, once the clothes come off, did that do anything for the brain activity?
Did that actually help?
Was that a placebo effect?
No, no, it didn't help
surprisingly so then the clothes weren't the things holding me back you're just pulling your
skin off yeah and then i was like hang on ice hang on yeah i was like hang on i wasn't doing
barbells at all i was like smoking a pipe for an hour um yeah so i was yeah i was just doing that
and i was just going crazy just going this this instructor is going to come in or people are going to come in and want to –
like I was so prepared for the bang on the door
and I didn't have an answer as to what I was doing.
But it sort of made me feel a little bit better that I was on cool tiles maybe.
I think that was it.
That my body was like a bit cooler even though I wasn't red hot.
But anyway.
And then I –
This is like a child's logic.
This is like a dream we were talking about.
I know, I know.
I'm not saying...
It's not a four-year-old thing.
Just so you know, I didn't preface the story by going,
check out the cool thing I did the other day.
You're going to be impressed once I tell you my weekend's behaviour.
Oh, my God.
You have been subconsciously flexing your muscles.
Yeah.
I am looking...
If anyone had came in and seen my crazy body on the floor of the toilet,
they would have been impressed.
You ripped a junk that's just hanging out of that door frame.
And, yeah, it was like that thing.
It was this crazy thing where I was sitting there for ages just going,
okay, this is 20 minutes of me being crazy and naked in this cubicle on the ground.
And then I went, I really feel like I need to be sick.
I need to vomit somehow.
And so I've never done the fingers down the throat.
You've never vomited? No, I've done, well,
I've been around the block a few times.
You sound like an alien, like, I need to vomit
somehow. Now, I've never
done this before. Yeah, lying there
with all his clothes off, trying to get cool on the tiles.
What is this thing you humans call
vomit?
I want to experience everything your culture has to offer.
On my planet, this is how we mate.
But okay, you call it vomit.
So I did the fingers down the throat thing,
which I'd never done before.
There's a lot of this for you.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it was a big day.
What have you had down that throat before?
Well, bad things.
That's why I was at the gym.
That's why I had to work out.
So I did the thing, and I was surprised how effective it was.
So I fully endorsed it.
100% accuracy.
Yeah, I endorsed it.
When it comes to that.
Yeah.
You endorsed it.
And as soon as I did it, it must have got rid of the acids
or whatever that was making my brain go so crazy.
And it full on was the antidote.
Did you spew out your brain?
Maybe, yeah.
Maybe.
Honestly, it worked so good.
It was like that thing of like the Incredible Hulk all of a sudden
just turned back into Bruce Banner and then I was naked on the floor going,
why am I doing this?
Why am I?
Did you sort of look at yourself and go, I'm fucking naked right now.
What is happening?
Yeah, it was like that.
I was like, oh man,
whatever is in the toilet now from my mouth
is the thing that, you know,
there's not a lot of sense in the toilet right now.
Right.
Yeah.
It's not worth it, man.
Don't work out.
Yeah.
That's what I learned from that.
I want to know the awkward
when you came out of the bathroom.
Yeah.
Was he standing there going, hey?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you tell him what happened?
Well, I don't think it's that awkward because he's a personal trainer,
so he's seen people be sick.
He's never seen what you did.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You sick fuck.
Well, he didn't get to see it, though.
That was a good thing.
He walked out and just went, what happened in there?
And I was like, I'm not going to tell him the whole story.
You didn't contemplate coming clean and just going like, look,
if you're going to be training me, you need to know the full extent of my limits.
And here's what happened.
I went in there and I did 50 push-ups and now he's 50.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You were being a little too easy on me.
I didn't want to embarrass you.
I just went in there and did a few quick squats on the toilet
and now I'm back out.
They're obsessed with squats.
Have you ever had a personal attraction?
That's what made me do it.
It was all core.
I don't know what core is.
I don't know what a core is,
but he was working on my core
and that's what made me go crazy.
It's all variations of squats.
Do you think that they're into squats now
because the whole Kardashian sort of
is now the standard of beauty?
Maybe.
You know, like having a big fucking butt.
I feel like here everyone is obsessed with this crossfit stuff.
So it's all about strong and jumping up really high.
I don't know why it's all about, I don't know,
maybe it doesn't feel like that's a huge thing here,
but they're all like,
there's all these groups of people who got together,
bootcamp kind of. Right, yeah. But like, because it's all these groups of people who got together, boot camp kind of.
It's all this core stuff that I don't
understand because I don't know anything about this.
I literally go into a gym and think, you
pick up barbells. I base all
my gym activity on Popeye cartoons.
That's what I think. I go in there and you
lift stuff. He picks up spinach.
Yeah, right. Okay.
I've got that wrong as well. He has an anchor
drawn on his arm if that's what you mean. Oh my right. Okay. Right. Well, I've got that wrong as well. He has an anchor drawn on his arm, if that's what you mean.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, my gosh.
I saw a man driving his car who looks like a sailor, not Popeye sailor,
but like a lighthouse keeper type, old straggly hair, in a car at a red light,
smoking a pipe.
Yeah.
An actual full pipe in the car.
Yeah.
That blows my mind when people smoke in cars
because you see them.
That's not the part of the story that is interesting.
I know.
It was.
If that was, she would just say,
I saw a guy smoking in his car.
She described like a lighthouse captain.
He was like from a different time.
He was in the wrong vehicle.
Have you been working out right before this?
That'd be like in that last story, us going like,
wow, you went to the gym? That's crazy.
Well,
to be fair, Scott did say that at the start
so he found that crazy already.
Did you follow this dude?
I've never done this before, but I did try to take a photo
of him at the lights and then I felt
bad because I was like oh if he saw me
it would feel really awful
because maybe he's just trying to
he's just trying to find his way
in the world as well
he's just a lonely sea captain
trying to
he's just time shooting backfired
have you done the
like the trying to
you know trying to get a photo
of someone that you see
and you're like
wow this person looks fucked
I need an image
but like the
when you see someone
that looks like someone
that you know
and you like chase them down and you're like someone that you know and you like chase
them down and you're like, hey man, you look like my
friend who you don't know, but can I just get a photo
with you to send to him? Yeah.
And they always hate it. Yeah.
I'm too sociological to do that, but no. I always
consider the photo, but then I'm too chicken.
I go, no, for that reason. I'm like, that was the closest.
I went to a baseball game with
I think it was with Tim Heidecker
and Mark Proksch. Do you know Mark anyway? And I I said, hey, I want to take a picture of
the whole group and I and I like went down down the stairs and I like aimed
the camera at them and then I took the picture and when I came back, all I had
done was take a picture of the person next to
us was like this really ugly
woman and showed it
to the group and they
mark like said it was the
funniest thing you've ever seen. Anyway, but
that's the closest I've come.
Yeah, I did it. I was
last time I did it was like maybe a year ago
as anything and I was like very
drunk and I saw a guy who looked like my friend
and I thought he'll love this
because my friend is like a very fun loving guy
and so I just transplanted his personality onto the stranger.
I'm like he'll love it and I went up and he was,
fuck, he was not happy.
He was like really.
He's like what?
I look like your friend?
What are you trying to say?
You got an ugly friend?
Yeah. Oh, your friend's a big fat guy Wait this was a fat person
Tommy
I can't believe you have fat friends
That's disgusting
That's not the interesting part
But I just think there's not a bigger
Conversation
Killer than
You look like someone I know Because there's no a bigger conversation killer than you look like someone I know.
Because there's no answer.
If someone says to you, hey, you look like someone I know.
Yeah, but the thing is there's never someone better looking.
It's always someone.
It's never someone you know.
I once went to a strip club when I was like 20.
Okay, mate, we get it.
And I saw a stripper I was like you look like my
friend from high school that I always wanted to see naked it was like she was
really delighted by that like oh well take a look I was so expecting that
story to go you look like this go to high school within her go Scott I would
be nice I was expecting you to get a bit hot and have to go cool down on the
tiles you've been working things out a little bit too much.
But yeah, it's never like, even on Twitter, like people will send you stuff.
Do you ever have that?
People send you stuff on Twitter and go, this guy looks like you.
My friend looks like you.
And it's always some just fucking idiot.
It's never like that.
That's what you think of me.
I'm friends with Robert Redford and he looks like you.
Check this out.
It's never that.
Wait, so Robert Redford is your standard male beauty? Yeah. Yeah. Which Robert Redford, and he looks like you. Check this out. It's never that. Wait, so Robert Redford is your standard male beauty?
Yeah, yeah.
Which Robert Redford are we talking?
Are we talking Captain America?
Sundance.
Yeah, Sundance Kid.
Wait, not the Sundance Festival.
Sundance, when he played Sundance Kid.
The thing that they got the name from.
That is what you aspire to.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the peak of human excellence to me.
Oh, okay.
The most handsome man of all time.
I see.
Is the Sundance Kid. And who. The most handsome man of all time. I see. He's the Sundance kid.
And who is the most attractive woman of all time?
I would say, oh, gee, good question.
I'll field this one.
The person in Butch and Sundance who has her top off?
Is that?
Oh, I haven't seen it, but now I'll go back and watch it.
Wait, you haven't seen this movie?
Yeah.
I've just seen the poster.
You're basing your
whole standard of beauty
on one poster that you've seen?
It was a good poster.
But now that I know there's a topless woman,
I'll go back and watch it.
Wait, now that's the only reason
you want to see this movie?
Well, I hadn't watched it before and now I will.
And that's the only new information I have.
You have so many problems.
You have gotten so weird
in the five years.
Michelle Pfeiffer.
Michelle Pfeiffer.
What about that?
Is she the most attractive
lady of all time?
Maybe?
Was she?
What era?
Was she Michelle?
Was she?
Scarface?
Am I losing my mind?
Fabulous Baker Boys.
Fabulous Baker Boys.
You know,
Batman Returns.
Yeah.
She's Catwoman.
A lot of people,
like there's two songs that mention her recently.
Like doesn't Bruno Mars or someone, there's like two songs that go,
Michelle Pfeiffer.
Oh.
Like two songs that were released in the last year talk about Michelle Pfeiffer.
It's not really a reference that you hear all that much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's gotten hipster and cool now.
It's a retro.
Yeah, is that what it is?
Is it a retro thing?
I think so. Well, she often gets referenced because of Dangerous Minds. Am I losing my mind? now. It's retro and cool. Yeah, is that what it is? Is it a retro thing? I think so.
Well, she often gets referenced because of Dangerous Minds.
Am I losing my mind?
Yeah, she's in Dangerous Minds.
I feel like that movie gets referenced a lot in the teacher going into rough area.
But I feel like that gets referenced a lot.
I think Sidney Poitier was sexier in that.
What is happening with you?
Where are all these names from?
But when you say about people...
Who's the youngest actor you've heard of?
Let's see.
Who was anyone in the book?
Do you know Sid Charisse?
Sid Caesar.
Have you heard the story of the Adingo Stole My Baby?
Yeah.
They made a movie of that with Meryl Streep in it.
And a friend of ours plays her baby.
Oh, there's the baby.
Really? You know the baby?
You do. Nicolette Minster. Oh, really?
Is the baby that got eaten.
That got eaten by the dingo?
Wow. That's amazing.
She was a baby actress?
Yeah. I think her parents work in TV.
I think they just grab babies whenever they need.
Yeah, just like the dingo. Sounds like a Rumpelstiltskin lot of acting. I think they just grab babies whenever they need. Yeah. Just like the dingo.
Sounds like a Rumpelstiltskin kind of legend.
I know, I know.
But that's also weird.
I did a series and it had a newborn baby in it,
so it was twins for a start,
and I had to get a needle so they didn't get hoop and cough.
I was like, pfft.
Yeah.
So I'm like, anyway.
Yeah, boring.
I'm sorry if I'm getting a needle.
But it was just weird to me that the baby,
this person didn't exist When we started filming
This show
Yeah right
Because it had to be
Newborn
Yeah
Right
I feel like that's the best line
That you can use
At like a nightclub
Or whatever
I was the baby
I was the baby in this movie
Okay
Top
Top
You can never
How do you prove
I'd like to make a baby in you
That a dingo would be
Top movie babies
Number one Labyrinth Toby the Labyrinth baby Right Oh yeah Number two Nirvana I'd like to make a baby in you that a dingo would be. Top movie babies.
Number one, Labyrinth.
Toby the Labyrinth baby.
Number two, Nirvana baby.
Interesting story.
By the way, that baby is still coasting on this thing.
Constantly taking the picture again.
Like, hey, do you want to feel old?
The baby from Nevermind is now like 80 years old.
Alright, baby from Nevermind.
Go back to your IT job or whatever.
Because he legally changed his name to just baby from Nevermind.
Baby F Nevermind.
Yeah.
But like, you know, you could use that.
You know, I'm the Nevermind baby.
You probably couldn't.
That's a bit of overkill.
But just pick a movie.
Get a baby in it.
So you're saying you just fake it.
Yeah.
You say you baby from Look Who's Talking?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
Great choice.
No, I would go Look Who's Talking 2
because you wouldn't want to try and impress too much.
The original's over the top.
Number two's not as impressive.
I'm actually the ghost from Three Men and a Baby.
It's my claim to fame.
Is there a ghost in that movie?
Do you not know that? Yeah, I can't remember. Do look it up online. Is there a ghost in that movie? Do you not know that?
Yeah I can't remember
Just look it up online
Is there a real ghost?
No
There's like a cardboard cutout
Behind a curtain or something
But it looks like a ghost
Yeah
And so the legend is
There's a ghost
Oh
But they caught a ghost on celluloid
Yeah
Oh
Because if you were
The Undead
The one movie you'd want to pop up in
That's where I'd be
Is that one
Yeah
Oh man But with the lookalikes thing I've thought about this for years Maybe I should do it the one movie you want to pop up in is that one.
With the lookalikes thing, I've thought about this for years. Maybe I should do it because we're talking about it.
But I really want to make
a website
like a Tumblr.
Squarespace.com.
I want to do...
What is that? That's one of my sponsors.
Is that Squarespace? Squarespace.
What do they do? Well, I mean, they have wonderful templates.
They have drag and drop templates.
You're sponsored by audiobooks and websites and clothing companies.
This podcast is sponsored by Chocolate Mousse.
Yeah.
That's a true thing.
Chocolate Mousse?
Yeah.
That sounds delicious.
Yellow Chocolate Mousse.
Really?
Yellow Chocolate Mousse.
Yellow.
I'm out if it's yellow, the color.
No, it's not.
It's not. It's brown, the
color of shit. Much better.
That is interesting. One of the most
delicious things in the world, chocolate,
is the color of shit.
How did they trick us
into thinking that it's
delicious? It's spelled
Y-A-L-L-A.
They must love this part of the podcast where we
are comparing their product to shit.
They actually do.
Yeah, it's like that old saying.
If you see something that looks like
shit, try to eat it.
Maybe it'll turn out to be great.
That must be some deep psychological fucked up
thing that we all have in us. That's why we
want to eat shit.
Yeah.
Secretly.
It's the last taboo. That's behind when I to eat shit. Yeah. Yeah. Secretly. It's the last taboo.
No, that's behind when I'm eating shit.
I'm like, I would love to eat mousse one day.
Yeah.
So it's Yellow Chocolate Mousse and it sponsors us,
which is a weird thing.
Okay, but you're going to make this website.
Yeah, but quickly just to tie that up.
It's funny that you said yellow
because people in America listen to us
do think we're saying yellow as in the color.
And so I get emails saying,
if you can send me any of that yellow chocolate mousse,
that would be awesome.
Wait, why are people emailing you
asking you to send them chocolate mousse?
Great question.
I fear that you're taking too much responsibility
for your listeners. Totally. My phone number is out there. I get rung. I get emailed. I fear that you're taking too much responsibility for your listeners.
Totally.
My phone number is out there.
I get rung.
I get emailed.
I get everything.
Any question anyone has about this.
Can you send me chocolate mousse?
They do.
They do.
Your listeners are insane.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When you get home, Scott, can you send us some Carl's Jr., please?
Hi, Carl.
I'm in Iceland.
There's a mouse in my fridge.
Can you help?
Yes.
It's all that stuff
People ring me
Anyway
But I like the idea
That someone from America
Is asking for yellow chocolate mousse
It's like
It's going to be
Even worse colour
By the time you guys get it
Because if you send mousse
To America
That's not cool
But
The
The website
The website
I want to make up
A site
That is just
People that look vaguely like People that have been on our show.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
It's just because any time I walk past someone that's like got a beard, I go, okay, I could take a picture of that and it's Harley Breen or take a picture of a bald guy with a goatee and that's Xavier Michaelis and people like that.
Just the worst lookalikes of all time.
That's good.
Yeah.
I've been getting a lot recently.
There's a Japanese cartoon character that's getting a lot more,
that's getting quite popular.
I think he's getting more well-known.
The way you're dressed,
you sort of look like Luigi or Mario right now.
Yeah.
But he's a superhero
and his only characteristic is he's got a big fat nose
and a big fat round bald head.
And I keep,
I'm getting more and more every day
of people on Twitter going,
ah, this is you.
Yeah.
They made you into a Japanese cartoon.
Yeah.
I don't know how I feel about it.
Yeah.
It's got big rosy cheeks.
I just think it's too confronting.
My feelings hurt already.
Don't link me to that website.
Yeah, never tell anyone they look like anyone.
Yeah.
It's one of the rudest things you can say.
You know what actually one of the rudest things you can say to a person?
You look tired.
Oh.
That's bad.
You have an ugly smile.
What?
That's because then the person
will never want to smile again.
Yeah.
Has that ever been said?
And that drains all joy
from someone's...
Oh, my God.
From someone's whole life.
Okay, let's just cut the shit.
Who said this to you, Scott?
No, no one said it to me,
but I remember reading that
and going,
oh, what a terrible thing.
Like, to then always...
Actually, you know, I think when I was a kid like someone someone's like oh you
like I don't like your teeth when you smile or something like that and so then
that led me into a period where every picture I was trying to like close lip
it yeah yeah yeah you know I don't know how to look normal in photos and every
time when we have like I hate to break it to you you don't know how to look
normal like every time we do like like big family. I hate to break it to you. You don't know how to look normal in life.
Every time we do like family photos at family Christmases and whatever,
my dad is always the one taking the photo and he's always like,
stop fucking around, trying to look silly.
Stop trying to make this a little joke photo.
And I'm there actually just trying my hardest to smile and look normal.
Again, looking at you.
It's, yeah.
Yeah.
Why is your dad cursing so much?
That's a little salt up in the story.
He's really not into swearing.
Oh, really? That was you trying to jazz
up the story? Yeah, trying to get it over the line.
Trying to work
blue into this podcast. Tommy Deslo's punching
up.
We were talking about babies and stuff before.
Let me bring this up. This
podcast that we're recording, this is the final piece of content that I will ever do in my 20s.
How do you guys feel about that?
I'm 30 tomorrow.
You're 30 tomorrow?
All right.
It's 9 p.m. right now.
How about we do a three-hour session and just really celebrate?
Go right.
Fuck you.
How do you feel?
I feel fine about it.
But is there anything
I should be doing
in these last hours
of my 20s?
What do you reckon?
Oh, gee.
I mean,
we are way too tall
in a building
for you at this point
because you've got
a lot of options
that involve
going through the window.
Oh, kill myself.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
That's the very last thing
you'll do in your 20s.
Yeah, that's something I haven'll do in your 20s.
Yeah, that's something I haven't done in my 20s yet.
Does 30 seem old to you?
Like when you were, that was always a benchmark for me,
partly because I turned 30 in the year 2000.
So I was always like the year 2000,
that's so far away when I was young.
I'll be 30 then and that seems so old.
But after 30, it just seems like.
Well, I remember talking to a friend recently about it and when you know they were saying when they
had their 21st they were like when I
have my 30th I'm going to hire out a
hotel and you know you just think
like in nine years I'll be a
fucking CEO I'll have worked it out and
then two years ago like
every friend that said that sort of started going
yeah I might put like
a hundred bucks on a bar tab.
Yeah, and then it turns into,
you know what I'm going to do for my 30th?
Take my birthday off Facebook.
Yeah, I'll do that.
I remember being like, I've never really seen the future.
Is that a sign of depression?
Wait, that you've never seen the future?
That's a sign that you're not clairvoyant.
I mean, like I don't imagine, like growing up was I never saw myself older or with fat like I never
yeah live in the moment guys yeah yeah did you think that you were never gonna
like I never saw this a like I never I I kind of after I was I don't know 21 or
something I was like oh I never thought I'd live that long yeah which is kind of
weird because you sort of also never think
you're going to die in another way, right?
It's weird, but like some people have that picture of when I'm this age,
I'm going to be doing this and I'm going to have a house of kids
and all that kind of stuff, and I never did.
But a couple of weeks before I was going to turn 30,
I was at breakfast with my boyfriend at the time,
and he's like, hey, how are you feeling about turning 30?
I'm like, it's fine.
It seems like a big deal.
And he goes, really?
Because you're crying.
I'm like, what? He's sort of like, oh, maybe I'm a bit? I'm like, it's fine. It seems like a big deal. And he goes, really? Because you're crying.
So I'm like, oh, maybe I'm a bit weird about it.
But it's fine.
I got so drunk and I broke things.
I had a lovely time.
You're a hymen?
No, no.
I wish.
Then you ended up on a garbage bus.
I was on a garbage bus.
I broke my garbage bus.
But I got some free moose. So I've noticed that a lot in the last month
You get that very loaded
So how do you feel about it?
The implication feel
Is that worse than you look tired?
I'm with you with that one
That's the worst thing you can say to someone
Because if you are tired
It just says you look bad
Tommy how do you feel?
I mean, honestly, though, how do you feel about 30?
Do you think, are you, I mean, you're in a profession where you're perpetually young at heart.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
Like, you get to hang out with your friends.
You get to, like, just, you know, do stuff that seems cool to people who are your age,
who are sort of, like, in normal professions and who, I'm sure a lot of people your age, who are sort of like in normal professions
and who, I'm sure a lot of people your age
look at you and go,
oh my God, that would be so amazing
to have the life that you have.
How do you feel on the other side of it?
No one's ever looked at Tommy and said that,
to be fair.
Fuck you.
Yeah, because I started doing stand-up
when I was like 17.
Why are you crying right now?
I'm really tired.
Like I've kind of – like, yeah, I kind of like grew up around people
who were like, you know, in their late 20s, early 30s.
And so I've never looked at – I have a lot of friends who, you know,
that I went to school with who were getting close to 30
and freaking the fuck out about it.
I can't wait.
I'm fucking psyched.
Yeah.
I'm into it.
Why are you psyched?
Like what's going to be so much better about being 30 than not? It's more – it's just more like I don't wait. I'm fucking psyched. Yeah. I'm into it. Why are you psyched? Like what's going to be so much better about being 30 than not?
It's more, it's just more like I don't care.
Like in this last year, not to get too serious,
but I feel more happy and comfortable in myself than I ever have at any other age.
Shut up.
That's really great.
Don't shut up.
That's good.
In what way?
Shut up in the like this.
That's great.
I mean, sure.
No, no, no.
Shut up is in. I'm not getting nude and putting my head in the toilet. I haven't worked it out to that extent. Hey, that's good. In what way? Shut up. I'm not getting nude and putting my head in the toilet.
I haven't worked it out to that extent.
Hey, that's 40.
Yeah, you wait.
That wasn't in that Judd Apatow film.
I don't remember him stripping off and laying on the tiles.
That's what you've got to look forward to.
I don't know what you're going to do at 30.
Maybe like, I don't know, go to a public toilet
and just wash your hands.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe it's time to change the aesthetic.
I mean, I've kind of been basing my whole thing
on mid-20s rat bag for a long time now.
And I think I might have to let that go.
I don't know.
It's a little Tommy growing up.
Yeah.
No, but you're brave in terms of you'll try different things.
Oh, that's up there with you look tired. God, you're brave in terms of you'll try different things. Oh, that's up there with you look tired.
God, you're brave.
No, you've come into this wedding by yourself.
It's so brave.
Wearing that top tonight, that is so brave.
That's a bad word.
But I mean like I don't think of you as someone who's trapped in an aesthetic.
I feel like you've changed it up a lot over the years.
Jesus, it must be hard doing comedy.
How do you get up there? How do you get up there?
How do you get up there
and tell those jokes?
I'm excited to see
what Tommy 30 years
aesthetic will be.
I'm still working it out.
I've got some things
lined up.
Have you got some plans?
Have you got some plans?
I've got some plans.
What are some plans?
Give us a sneak preview
of your plans of 30.
I don't know.
I'm going to have to start
going the full shaved head
at some point, aren't I?
Oh, really? It's going to have to start happening. You shaved head at some point, aren't I? Oh, really?
It's going to have to start happening.
What's going on?
You've been wearing a hat ever since.
Yeah, I got a bit of, you know, it's going.
It's slowly going.
But maybe I'll just, oh, I don't know.
I'm on the cusp where I'm thinking like maybe I just fucking go for it
and be one of those guys that's like the dome on top
and then the like shoulder length, you know, at the back.
What do you think of that, Seals?
I can't wait.
I cannot wait to see the wig.
Is that the worst thing you can do?
Take too long to say whatever you're going to say next?
Being a person who is not losing his hair,
how does that affect your image of yourself?
Have you always seen yourself as a guy with a full head of hair and when it
started receding?
Yeah.
There was a point where I was very much like I would think about like
everyone I saw on TV or in the street,
I would like compare in my head.
By the way,
every single person on TV,
I've talked about this before.
Every single person on TV has gray hair that they are dying or has a toupee on.
Like everyone on TV.
And I'm not talking about like, oh, guys in their 50s, obviously.
Like everyone 30 and above has totally dyed hair and has pieces.
Including you on your show?
Yeah, you're on TV.
I started kind of going gray in the third season.
Of MASH?
Of MASH, yeah.
You son of a bitch.
No, so yeah, we color the sides and stuff.
Right.
See, that's the thing.
Like male friends who get paranoid about going gray,
as someone who's been losing their hair since their 20s,
I've never gotten the fear of going gray.
Right.
Because it's like, it must be fucking nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You still have it all.
But I'm saying you should not compare yourself to people on TV
because that, like, all of them are doing stuff to hide it.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Well, that was when I was, like, mid-20s, and now I'm just,
it's not awesome.
Wow, fucking depressing is this.
But I've made peace with it.
Whatever.
It's fine.
You know, and there is stuff you can do.
You know, there's plugs and shit.
Like I have friends who, you know.
Who's the most famous person you know that has plugs?
I don't want to – well, I mean, can I say?
Who's the least famous person you know who has plugs? I don't want to say, well, I mean, can I say? Who's the least famous person
you know who has plugs?
You.
That was like double.
That's a double flip.
That was like,
if that was a dive,
that was like,
no splash.
That was a,
no,
that was a basketball
through the hoop
and it bounced down
and it came back up and went in again.
I don't know.
I kind of feel like we're all just trapped in these bodies
that our parents gave us.
We all have issues with, you know, like there's stuff you can do about it,
but like you say, at a certain point, you're like comfortable in yourself
and just going, this is what I am, you know?
Yes, totally.
And so good on you.
So don't dodge my question.
Who do you know who's famous?
I feel like the person that I would say has talked about having them
in an interview, but in case that he is not,
I don't want to blow up the spot.
Jeremy Piven.
I do not know Jeremy Piven, but that's a pretty obvious one.
He's got good looking ones but he's would you say he's the
most famous in terms of
there's a lot of public stuff out there
of him when he was like actually bold
him and Jason Alexander like
look at him and say anything
yeah and he looks like you
and then
hey that's a horrible thing
to say about someone
no but um you know and then just
like cut to three years later he's got this full you know ravishing head of hair you know yeah but
i you know like or nicholas cage you know what i mean like you know they're actually you know
i've seen these pieces up close these like they're sort of like woven like rugs and stuff and and
they look like they look amazing you know like a website rugs and stuff and they look like, they look amazing.
I found a website once
that's like,
and it must be run
by a bald man
and it's sort of like
trying to out
celebrities
that are going bald
and it's like
zoomed in photos
of their hairline.
Like,
it's like,
look at this Chris Martin guy.
Fucking get a look at this
and then here's a photo
of him six months later
where you notice
he hasn't put the drops in
and it's thinning in here.
If we get right in here and it's like,
it's clearly just some.
I don't even care.
Here's the issue.
I don't even care.
If someone has something, it's like, great.
Who cares?
You're trying to make yourself look better.
What's weird is when someone gets famous for being bald,
like you mentioned Jason Alexander,
who's a great guy,
but his most famous role is him being bald.
George on Seinfeld, I believe he played.
So when he then goes and puts...
We can take that out of the podcast later.
We can go and check.
When he then goes and puts on a thing,
then it's like,
oh no, you're not the person that I fell in love with.
You know what I mean like i i have
such affection for you as this character and famous person as this thing but i mean he's like
he's so like would have made so much money off seinfeld and everything and so successful off
the back of it why does he need to turn around now and get hair like to what end like what roles
is that like it must have driven him crazy to not have hair like he what end like what roles is that get like it must have driven him
crazy to not have hair like he knows everyone just sees them so they want to
see their ideal Robert Redford self you know exactly I want to say their ideal
ghost from look who's talking three I mean your whole point is like if someone
makes enough money why does anyone ever want to take care of themselves or feel
good about yourself like what are that's the right answer.
When people make money, they
can not care about themselves.
Fix their lives. I think just for fun or to try
something different so you're not sort of locked into a
look. Like I would at one time in my life
like to shave my head. I know
for a fact it would look
hideous. Right. But just so
you, because you can, you know what I mean? If you haven't
had hair for a long time, you might go,
I just want to try it
like a hat
or a different outfit
or something.
You've got to try it.
You just want to try it
for a bit.
Oh man,
I'd look so bad.
Yeah,
I mean,
you know,
you try,
that's why we go to the gym
to try something different
to make ourselves look different.
Let's all shave our heads tonight.
I was,
I was close.
See you later,
20s.
I was close to it
when I was on that toilet floor.
I was thinking
it was going to be a good idea.
That's all you had left.
Yeah.
Only layer left you could get rid of. Yeah. I feel like you would have to shave your I was on that toilet floor. I was thinking it was going to be a good idea. That's all you had left. There's only layer left you can get rid of.
Yeah.
I feel like you would have to shave your mustache if you shaved your head.
I did that.
Yeah, I shaved my head a little while ago and I had a mustache.
And yeah, I shaved the head and then went and saw myself in the mirror.
And oh boy, no good.
Yeah, you got to do them both.
Just trying to picture you with a shaved head and a mustache.
Yeah, why is that weird?
I think I've got a photo somewhere maybe.
But I also think you look good in hats too.
Yeah, thank you.
I'm lucky that I liked hats before I started to go bald.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
But anyway, you look great.
You're a great catch.
Hey, thanks, man.
I appreciate it.
This is the nice.
This turns really.
I'm trying to change the perception about this show
and have people say positive
things to you guys on Twitter.
Just don't fucking tweet anything nice to
us. It is weird.
It is when people do that because I'm like
and they'll go, yeah,
I really like the show and
no, that's it. You're just even recounting it
in a sarcastic voice. I really
like the show. It's great.
But yeah, you're
going to be 30
tomorrow.
You're going to
be, you're going
to Japan.
I'm going to
Japan.
Great.
Yeah.
Is that a thing
you do in Australia
when you turn 30
you go to Japan?
Yeah.
It's sort of like a
bar mitzvah sort of
thing.
Happy 30th, get in
the rocket and you
go, wouldn't you
get sent there for
what is it, two
weeks?
Yeah.
They've changed it. You go and get some used underwear out of a vending machine, you watch the rocket and you go, wouldn't you get sent there for, what is it, two weeks? Yeah. They've changed it.
You go and get some used underwear out of a vending machine.
You watch the baseball and that's it.
Yeah.
Why are you going to Japan, young man?
I just like it there.
Going for a holiday.
You've been before?
Yeah, I went like a year ago.
Oh, great.
Yeah, a bit over a year ago.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Have you ever been?
I've never been.
My head writer on the Bang Bang TV show, Neil Campbell, grew up there a little bit.
Oh, wow.
You could have a lot of fun with their accents.
Very uncomfortable.
Oh, boy.
I didn't like that we were talking about murder a lot,
but I did like how many times you were saying murder
because I was thinking, I was like,
I think that's my favorite accent.
Murder. Murder. But then I thought maybe it saying murder because I was thinking, I was like, I think that's my favorite accent. Murder.
Murder. But then I thought maybe it's Scottish because I say murder.
Or there's been a curse.
There's a curse.
You're welcome.
I think we should wrap that up here. That's just about
all the time we've got for the Little Dum Dum Club. Scott, you've got to be up
very early tomorrow to fly to Brisbane.
Yeah, man. So yeah, that brings us to the end of the Little Dum Dum Club for another week. Celia to be up very early tomorrow to fly to Brisbane. Yeah, man. So yeah, that brings us
to the end of the
Little Dum Dum Club
for another week.
Celia and Scott,
thank you so much
for joining us.
Hey, thanks for having me on, guys.
You know I'm a big fan of yours.
Yeah, thanks for all you support
because if people go back
in history,
they can find episodes.
We were originally
on the Earwolf Challenge.
I was thinking about
and you guys didn't win.
We did in the second.
It was a podcast.
You came in second. Yeah, for people that didn't listen. We did in a second. It was a podcast.
Yeah, for people that didn't listen at the time,
you can go back and find it, I believe.
And Scott was a host of the podcast challenge on Earwolf.
I was not.
Matt Besser was.
Oh, sorry.
Yes, you were a judge.
I cast the deciding vote to make you guys not win.
Oh, yes.
That's right.
But the podcast that won doesn't exist anymore.
So you guys really won.
Well, they've probably now got proper good careers and jobs,
so we've probably lost the game.
I was thinking about it.
I'm sorry to cut you off,
but I don't know if you know what they're talking about.
Yeah, no, no.
I was just thinking about how crazy it was that so many people got mad about it.
Oh, was it?
It was in the early kind of nascent days of the network.
And you remember all the big hubbub on all the message boards
and how upset people were that you guys didn't win?
We didn't have the internet back then.
Oh, yeah.
We had to ban people and block people.
Because we were like, look, if any of you guys say anything,
we're going to just delete comments.
And then people were just like, fuck you.
Fuck this show.
Little Dumb Dumb Club didn't win.
Fuck you.
Oh, wow.
Well, it sounds like our fans.
Yeah.
But it's so crazy that people gave a shit.
I was just thinking about that.
Yeah, totally.
Because you can go back and listen to it.
It was like a sort of FA Cup style knockout thing where you had a challenge every week and uh someone got knocked out like
a reality show sort of thing and uh we got to the final and i think at some stage at some stage it
was it was said that the top two were flown to la or whatever to do a live show and then we're like
cool well let's just get runners up it's cool we're just gonna go to the – and then all of a sudden it got about a couple of rounds to go
and the guy at EWF went, just to be clear,
that wasn't said at any stage.
And we're like, it certainly was.
It was definitely said.
And that's what all of our hopes were pinned on.
And he's like, no, it's not happening.
That's not happening at all.
If you go back, you can –
because we got interviewed every week by Matt Besser,
who was hosting it,
very influential figure in the world of comedy. But we would have to do these Skype interviews with interviewed every week by Matt Besser, who was hosting it. Very influential figure in the world of comedy.
But we would have to do these Skype interviews with him every week
at like 4 a.m. our time.
So if you go back through,
everyone else who he interviews is kind of in awe of this guy
that they're talking to.
And we're just real cunts.
Because you're grouchy.
We don't want to be that.
And to be honest,
I didn't know what it was until about half way through the competition.
I had no idea what it was.
I'm like, Tommy wants to do this thing.
Fucking okay.
All right.
And then Matt Bess is on there going, Lil Dum Dum Club.
Hey, Lil Dum Dum Club.
Lil Dum Dum Club.
I thought you guys were really funny.
I was thinking.
We're not funny enough, but anyway.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
But I was thinking i'm not funny enough but anyway yeah no no no but here's here was i was thinking about it today my point back then was you guys would have won if you were
judging it as a whole but why have a final competition if you're judging something as a
whole yeah yeah like you you guys got to do the final competition and the podcast that one did
that final competition better i think you even admit that won did that final competition better. And I think you even admit
that they did it better, right?
I don't even remember.
I never listened to the competition.
But...
I never listened to what I say.
But it was like heartbreaking to me
because you guys should have won
and you didn't pull it out
at the last minute.
Right.
And everyone's saying,
but just give it to them
because they deserve it.
It's like you can't do that
and have a final competition.
Right.
You know, you can't say, well, half of it is it is your you know your past and half of it is this competition you gotta
base it all on the final yeah yeah run your competition oscar style just give us the legacy
award because we've hung around long enough yeah lifetime achievement that was such a pain in the
ass show to make i'm i'm so glad you guys did it because you know I got to meet you guys but it was so crazy
that's great to know
that there was anyone
on our side then
because we didn't
oh no
people loved you
yeah and I feel like
you got a lot of good
we still have people
listening now
from that
because of that show
it's worthwhile to go back
yeah if you're really into it
a lot of people
just still get on board
to our show now
and you know
we've got so many more numbers listening now than we had back then so if you're really into it a lot of people just still get on board to our show now and you know we've got
so many more numbers
listening now
than we had back then
so if you're really
into it
go back and have a
listen to it
it's just
I think we pulled it
actually
I don't know
I don't know
if it's up anymore
oh really
well try torrent it
or something
yeah yeah
fair enough
have you got copies
you would have
kept copies
surely
nah
nah
nah
so Celia and Scott
anything you would like to plug
Scott comedy bang bang

SP
oh SP
SPF
SPF 40

Banana Bow
Banana Bow TV
yeah so watch that
and if you
well when's this come out

next week never mind you're in London I've already passed through you're in London Bonadabo TV. Yeah, so watch that. And if you, well, when's this come out? I don't even know.
Next week.
Never mind.
You're in London? I've already passed through.
You're in London?
I'm going to London.
Yeah.
Come see us in London.
London, Manchester, Leeds and Nottingham.
Yeah.
I'm going to plug something on your behalf.
You're talking U2 to me, which is my personal favorite podcast.
Thank you, mate.
I hope people check that out.
Very fun.
Thank you.
Yeah, we, you know, who knows if we'll ever do another episode again. But yeah, thank you People check that out. Very fun. Thank you. Yeah, we, you know, who knows
if we'll ever do another episode again, but
yeah, thank you. Oh, Trouble in Paradise.
Well, the last one we did was
a year and a half ago.
And you interviewed U2 on it.
It had the greatest end to any
podcast, I think, you know,
like we started as fans and we ended
up interviewing them. Exactly like
Seinfeld. Yeah, exactly.
And we all got toupees.
Celia, you've got a show on at some point.
Yes, Luke McGregor and I are currently in editing of our...
We made a TV show!
Yeah.
Rosehaven?
It's called Rosehaven and it'll hopefully be on before the end of the year on ABC.
We recorded our first DVD commentary today.
We were so excited.
He wanted to make that more than he wanted to make a TV show.
I am sure that's why we made a show, so he could do the DVD commentary.
I've never seen anyone so thrilled.
Can we do one?
Do you want to come and do an episode of DVD commentary?
We did.
No, we are sure.
We did two director's commentaries on two stand-up DVDs
where all we did was hang as much shit as we could on the stand-up special.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, not that.
I mean, can we still do yours?
No, it's fine.
Like, I'm convinced, as Luke is, that not a single person will listen to it at all.
But he loves them.
So we've done it.
We did two episodes today.
But, yeah.
Oh, man.
That's my dream to do that for a job.
Just to go and do other people's ones.
Yeah.
That's so fun.
But I don't know what people want.
Like, do you do it like a podcast and just chat about stuff?
Or are you pointing out weird stuff?
I don't know.
So it's all, it's a focus.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, but before the end of the year, I think.
But so hopefully people like that.
That's very, very cocky.
The show hasn't even been on air yet and you're doing DVD commentaries.
I know, I know.
But we've got to do them now because it's the only time we can.
Anyway.
Yeah.
Great.
So look out for that.
We've got Adelaide is on sale,
t-shirts and all that stuff.
LittleDumbDumbClub.com.
Live show in Adelaide.
What is the date?
October 3rd?
October 4th.
4th?
Yeah.
Get there, come 3rd.

Cool.
Get there nice and early.

Thanks very much for listening, guys,
and we'll see you next time.
See you, mates.
