Hey, mates.
Welcome once again into the little dum-dum club for another week.
Thank you very much for joining us.
My name is Tommy Dasolo.
And sitting across from me, the other half of the show, Carl Chandler.
G'day, dickhead. Follow-up on last week week's ep still no cups in here oh yeah knew we had company coming over again we
we live here together no i don't live here this is tommy dasolo's new house he's got nothing in
here there's uh there's just a mouse hole in the wall yep um and then we're sitting on um
we're sitting on milk crates yep uh we We're talking into a milk podcast.
Milo tins with string in them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's now, it's not really a new, I think I've crossed the dateline threshold of having lived
here long enough where it's now depressing that I don't have certain things.
Do you know what I mean?
You have that two-week window where it's like, hey, it doesn't have cutlery.
Yeah, that's kind of charming.
Now it's like, it's been three weeks.
Get some fucking cups.
And also your priorities are fucked up.
You don't have any cutlery, any glasses, but you've got a drum kit.
Yeah.
What the fuck are you doing?
Yeah, I've got my Nintendo figurines proudly on display.
Nothing to drink out of though.
But look, let's welcome in the guests who are sitting here very parched
because they've not been offered a drink by me, the host of this house.
We can pour some cordial on those drum kits over there and you can lick it off if you
like.
First of all, joining us, it's Nick Capper.
How's it going, guys?
What a surprise to be here.
I'm finally on the podcast.
I thought you were going to say, what a surprise, you're finally in a house that's got even
less stuff in it than your house.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, electric drum kit. This is crazy.
And also joining us, the queen of the jungle, Fiona O'Loughlin.
Hello.
So you thought you were used to living in fucking squalor in the jungle
and now you're here.
I know.
They probably had a cup in the jungle, didn't they?
Yeah, we had tin cups.
I lost mine.
I lost everything.
How do you lose something in the jungle?
I know. It was crazy. I only had 12 things, about 12 things,. I lost mine. I lost everything. How do you lose something in the jungle? I know.
It was crazy.
I only had 12 things, about 12 things, and I'd lose them.
Sorry, I didn't watch it, Fiona,
even though I probably retweeted it heaps of times.
I was like, I was behind her the whole way, but I wasn't.
I didn't watch it.
Who else was on with you?
Fucking hell.
Have we covered this?
There's some research.
Have you covered this in an episode?
No, no, no.
I mean, we don't know either But sure you're a fucking idiot
At least we don't ask it
Josh Gibson
The footy player
Oh yep
Gibbo
Gibbo
Danny Green
Oh yeah Danny
I like Danny
Is he nice
He's fantastic
Yeah he seems like a nice guy
Very funny man
I didn't like when Mundine
Was ragging on him
Oh Mundine's
Not right
Yeah
Yeah I'm no doctor But I think there's been A few too many punches Mundine was ragging on him. Oh, Mundine's not right. Yeah, yeah.
I'm no doctor, but I think there's been a few too many punches to the head.
Of a boxer.
That's weird.
I know.
I think the same about you, but punch out of a punch bowl instead of.
I had some falls.
Off the wagon.
I had some falls.
Off the wagon.
I love that.
When I woke up, I was told, when I woke up from the coma,
I was told that I had a 12% chance of life and a 7% chance of being normal.
Wow.
Right.
We will never know.
I think we know. Do you think I'm a bit, like, dumber?
I'm still waiting to form a verdict.
Okay.
Yeah.
Anyway, so the jungle.
By the end of this podcast, we'll tell you.
Yeah.
Jungle, there was a model in there.
She was lovely.
Do you reckon she would have stolen your cup?
Simone Holtz-Nagel or something?
Yeah, Holtz-Nagel.
Holtz-Nagel, yeah.
No, I just lost things.
I can't.
Yeah.
I think I could have ADHD.
From the coma?
I thought, no, no, my whole life.
Because I thought that ADHD means that you just can't sit still.
I can sit still, but my mind is an absolute confusion.
Yeah.
I'd like to go in and get the raft of tests done.
ADHD, autism, I want the lot.
I want the lot checked out.
The smorgasbord.
Yeah, get under the hood.
Find out what's going on.
Give me the genius smorgasbord.
Just the depressing thing would be coming out of that and going,
absolutely, like nothing going on.
Yeah, I've done that physically before where I think you go in for a grease
and oil change and just go in and go
Give us everything
And then they sort of check your heart
And go you seem alright
And I'm like
No I want some experiment stuff
Yeah yeah yeah
Tell me what everything does
It's like this is as good as it's possible
For you to feel
There's nothing that we can do for you
This is it
Surely there'll come a time though
Where you just walk through an x-ray machine
And it just goes off
You've got something
Yeah yeah Just so Wait so you're getting scanned at the airport And you walk through an x-ray machine and it just goes off. You've got something. Yeah, yeah.
Just so – wait, so you're getting scanned at the airport
and you walk through it and it's like –
You might want to get that checked.
That's like Capo exiting Target and just the alarm's going off
because he's fucking stolen another pair of slippers or whatever.
Uh-oh, the genius alarm's going off.
That's the alarm of cool dude.
Wouldn't that be a crazy thing to come out at the airport
when you get scammed by the X-ray machines?
There's medical shit that comes out of it,
but they just can't be fucked bringing it up.
Like, oh, that guy's got cancer.
Hope he knows that.
Have you ever heard that theory that there is a cure for cancer?
It's just not for the likes of us.
Right, right.
Because no royals have ever had cancer.
Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that's Because no royals have ever had cancer. Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
But then.
But Steve Jobs had cancer.
Exactly.
Yeah.
That's what disproved this.
Yeah.
I don't know, Jobs.
Does he have as much money as the royals?
Yeah.
But he would be, that would be the thing though, if that is what would make me believe, you
know those conspiracy theories that always go around about
this person, they actually
didn't die.
So it's like, Jobs is
alive, but the world just is.
They did cure his cancer. The world just
isn't ready to know that. So he's just
living in isolation somewhere.
And they just went through with this fake death.
If someone put that to me, I'd believe that.
It'd be cool if you went to somewhere like Maryborough.
I'll put it to you. I know, and I It'd be cool if you went to somewhere like Maryborough. You just put it to you.
You just did put it to me.
I know, and I'm on board.
I believe everything I've got to say.
I love conspiracy theories.
Me too.
You're saying the royals didn't have cancer,
but it's that thing where there's not that many royals,
and you don't know what happened 200 years ago,
because people didn't know what cancer was back then.
People say now, oh, there's autism now,
but it didn't used to be 300 years ago.
Well, there probably was.
It was just the people that got
rocks thrown at their heads because they were the village idiots
or whatever because they were a bit weird. Princess Diana could
have had cancer. Do you have a front porch? Because you
really need to sit out on it
yelling at the neighborhood kids.
Oh, I would love that. I would fucking love
that. I've
always wanted to make my profession someone who's
actually supposed to be yelling at people.
I reckon Carl is one energy drink from being a ranting homeless guy on the train.
You gave him one Red Bull, he'd just be like, fuck you.
I'm too resourceful.
I couldn't be one of those crazy homeless people.
I can rant on trains, but I know that I can do better than fucking live on the train.
I'm too resourceful. I'll figure out way of of making money off it or something but you've got not quite
a porch but you've got like a balcony situation at your house you could sit on a rocking chair
out the front there and just see how it feels yeah you've got to be out the front yeah he looks
onto the street yelling at the young folk yes yes um i fuck i should have yelled at someone the
other day i walked out i was on on there Great regrets of Carl Chandler
I know because I walked out the front and in the middle of the day
This is 12.15 at lunch time
There was a guy taking a big old piss
Out the front of my house the other day
I thought we were going to talk about the poo jogger
I nearly killed myself
You did tell a story on this two weeks ago
About how you took a shit in a children's playground
As you were walking home
That's karma Jesus Christ, thank god I skipped that one You did tell a story on this two weeks ago about how you took a shit in a children's playground as you were walking home.
That's karma.
That was 500 metres away.
Jesus Christ.
Thank God I skipped that one.
No, but what about this?
So where I live, and I've lived there for a year or something now,
we did a live show not very long ago to celebrate Dilrub winning the Logie.
I don't know if you know that Dilrub, do I sing it?
Fiona?
I was sitting with Dilrub at the logos I was so pissed off
because he didn't
come and kiss me
but not that I
gave a shit
other than the cameras
would have then seen me
I would have had more
more air time
he should have like
put a full on
pash on you
and made him think
that you were a couple
that would have been
fucking great
and then the
gossip pages of us
weekly lighting up
who is
what's going on
but then I've always made it, you know, it's a rule.
I don't kiss darkies.
I think we keep to our people.
They keep to theirs.
Can I come and join you on your court?
Congratulations on getting a nomination for
Best Newcomer for the Bolt Report next year.
Should be good stuff.
Could that Bolt guy,
seriously, he's making me
literally
have violence.
Pick a lane. You don't like coloured people and you don't like
Andrew Bolt.
I was being ironic about the colour.
How'd you survive in the jungle?
What's your beef with Bolt?
Apart from everything.
I want to – look, here's the thing.
He's a windbag.
He's this – because of Me Too and Time's Up and all of that,
any of you roll your eyes, I'll knee you in the balls.
Because what's happened to the likes of my age group, right,
it's now you look back over the years and you go, oh, my God,
that was horrific.
Because we didn't see that this would ever change, you know.
And now the likes of Andrew Bolt literally bring out a fury in me.
I want to find out where he lives.
Yeah.
I want to punch him so hard in the face.
Oh, hell yeah.
I saw him.
When he did his show, and so for people that don't realise,
people from overseas, he's like a right-wing crazy person
that's got access to newspaper.
Yeah, he's a newspaper columnist. Yeah, he couldn't get any more airtime. He's like a right-wing crazy person that's got access to newspaper. Yeah, he's a newspaper columnist.
Yeah, he couldn't get any more airtime.
He's everywhere.
You know what I mean?
Because there's just so many right-wing people.
And he's like the most read columnist or something like that.
Oh, man.
Yeah, but that's his tagline.
How many columnists are there?
He's devoid of character, like a right-wing nutbag.
I don't mind the ones that are's like this in print A big character
But he's like a robot
That's trying to be human
Or something like that
No he's like a guy
That just sees the news
And goes alright
What's the worst take on this
Yeah yeah yeah
Like he's in a fucking
You know
Laboratory
I think he's deeply
Misogynist
Oh yeah
I think we offend him
Right
I remember years ago
When I
Okay
I called Bindio and a freak on –
Spicks and Specks.
Okay.
It's my favourite episode.
Well, it's funny.
But also that show is – they pre-record that for an hour or more
and your job as a comedian, it was like speak up, speak often.
I remember the producer used to say that.
Speak up, speak often.
Just riff.
Just do what you do as comics.
And then it's up to them what they edit.
Yes.
It was only 20, I don't know.
22 minutes or something.
22 minutes.
So someone at the AB, I've gone along, done my job.
I'm not a network executive
You know
I didn't just go
They didn't just go
And welcome to the panel Fiona
Bindi Irwin's a freak
We were talking about a bigger thing
And anyway
Then Andrew Bolt writes this column
So I've had him since then
So I'm in his column.
So he calls me, he goes, alcoholic mother of five.
Now, right there, do you say with, you know,
Barry Humphries is an alcoholic, you know,
do you go alcoholic father of three?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And a fucking dickwad as well.
And then he...
Hey, his name is used for the best comedy show
in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival,
so he must be a good guy.
He must be.
And he's not even a comedian.
To be honest, they should change the name of that award
to the Polanski or something, a bit nicer.
Oh, God.
The Polanski Award.
Is Humphreys just trolling us, though?
This feels like it's him going like trans people shouldn't have rights,
like a man who's made a fortune dressing as a woman is just like,
this has got to be a troll.
No, it's not because it's like that theory of You know The older you get
The more right wing you get
And that's just him
He's just gone for that age
If he's like
Sacha Baron Cohen-ing us
That's sick
Yeah
He definitely isn't
Because it was about
Five years ago
He wanted to
This probably only
Got talked about in Adelaide
Because it was the Adelaide Fringe
He wanted to ban
The F word
Oh no I read that
Yeah Because he was like What is he the Oh, no, I read that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because he was like the, what is he, the patron of it or something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I think it was the festival, not the Fringe.
The F word.
Yeah, no more saying fuck ever.
Really?
And it's like you're not a stand-up, Barry.
So like he's only ever done characters that don't require,
like Dame Edna, that character.
I've never seen Barry at an open mic.
I'm still waiting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's why I don't respect him.
He hasn't been in a spline.
Every time I rock up to a sign up night, I'm like, where's fucking Barry?
It'd be awesome if he's up there at open mics trying out new Dame Edna gear.
Not in the gear, not in the wig or the makeup or anything,
just reading it off a sheet of paper.
Barely doing the voice.
Hi, possums.
If stand-up is essentially reflecting what we are,
you've got to use all the words.
You can't just cut out the words.
Yeah, and it's a modern vocabulary.
That's how people speak these days.
A lot of people speak these days.
It totally is.
He's coming from an era of the 50s.
What's he always talk about?
Going out in the Moonee Ponds and all that sort of stuff and whatever.
It's like, this swearing has got to be gotten over because it's here to stay.
I find it weird.
I think you just become rich enough, famous enough and old enough
that you just go crazy.
You're just like, it clicks at one point.
You're just like, that's it. It's like Elon Musk was on a pretty go crazy. You're just like, it clicks at one point. You're just like, that's it.
It's like Elon Musk was on a pretty good track
and he's just like, alright, I'm on a good
track here. I'm doing well. Alright,
the dude who saved the Thai kids,
you're a pedophile.
You know what I mean? He just clicks over one day. It's like you wake up
and it's like Barry Humphries. I don't know.
Maybe you eat a bad
sausage roll at 7-Eleven or something like that
and you just click.
Sign just can work out the exact amount of money that's in your bank account and it clicks over.
As soon as you earn that much money, you're just fucking seen off.
It doesn't matter how old you are.
Isn't it like as you get older, it's a bit more like you just don't have
patience anymore?
That's why people – it's like the Seinfeld routine about older drivers
just don't even look when they reverse park anymore.
It's like, no, I've got no time for that.
You've got limited time left. It's like, no, I've got no time for that. You've got limited time left.
It's like that's what older people do.
They just go, I've got no time to think about anyone else anymore.
I'm just going to be selfish from now on.
I was tolerant towards other races and other sexes and now,
no, it's me time now.
I'm 80.
Fuck everyone that's not me.
Actually, that kind of makes sense.
I'm kind of with Barry now.
What's the thing we'll be rebelling against when we're like 70, 80?
Do you know what I mean?
What's the thing that we won't have any fucking time for?
Yeah.
Robots.
God, I hate robots.
Gay robots.
But maybe what the answer is is that we won't have to.
I think these generation gaps are ridiculous.
Yeah.
It's got to end because we've all got the same information.
Once upon a time
You'd write in your diary
And hide it under your mattress
Yeah
Now
We all have the same information
Why are we lying?
Why are we bullshitting?
Yeah
That's true
And pretending to be shocked
I find it weird
Also when comedy
Stops being creative
You're like
Oh
Who are you?
Yeah
You're making creative
Stuff to make people laugh And you're like I bet you if you go to Barry Humphrey's house You're like who are you you're making creative stuff to make
people laugh
and you're like
I bet you if you go
to Barry Humphrey's house
you're like
who's this guy
you know what I mean
or you're trying
to make a creative
concept
or a creative
thing
if you say things
like
transsexuals
or ban the F word
you are no longer
creative
you might as well
be hosting Art Attack.
What?
I was almost with you.
That felt like the tracks were being built as the train was going along.
You know, sometimes if you're creative and then you're in someone's house
and they're like, they're transgender and then there's a glass of cordial
and you're looking at the glass of cordial and you're like,
I was hoping you guys were following it because I was like,
I'll just ask you guys at the end of the show.
I could tell you, I was like, boy, I really want to impress Carl
by making it clear that I know what's being said right now.
No, but when hosting Art Attack, that's when I became not creative.
It makes no sense.
The most uncreative you can be is to be involved in an art show.
Yeah, but you just tell them people to paint by numbers.
You're just like, oh, this is a bit of cardboard.
The most uncreative thing in the world.
Like a guy like me, I make the art from the start.
But he's not.
Art Attack, he's taking clothes off the laundry, off the clothesline. He's putting them on the ground and then when you look at it from the start, you know. But he's not. Art Attack, he's taking like clothes off the laundry,
off the clothesline.
He's putting them on the ground and then when you look at it from the sky, it's like a replica of a Picasso.
Look, to be honest, I haven't.
All you're doing up there on stage is talking about a 69er
that you had four years ago.
Look, to be honest, I haven't seen Art Attack.
Okay, all right.
You're the least creative person I've ever met.
That's on Doe's show, yeah?
I've ever met that's Arndo's show
yeah
so
hey so what I was
going to say before
was at my house
right
is that
speaking of art
yeah
we were talking about
Fiona at the Loggies
Fiona at the Loggies
with Dillrack
so we did that
we did that live show
now
we got to the end
of the show
and these guys
come up
and everyone was
like drunk afterwards
and remember that
remember back then
yeah yeah
when that used to happen
anyway so
wow
yeah
Jesus
back in there
still invited Barry
comedian shouldn't drink
hi I'm Fiona O'Loughlin
patron of the
Melbourne International
Comedy Festival
so
we got to the end of the show
And these guys were coming up
Going ah Chando
Yeah great show
Whatever
And I'm talking to them for a while
And then one of them goes
Yeah you know what
I think I live next door to you
And they're like
What
And he goes
And I go what do you mean
Like in the same street
In what suburb
He goes oh Thorn
I'm like yeah
And he's like I'm like what in another building no no in your building in your i live next door to you i'm
like really in the same building and he goes yeah and these guys are listeners big listeners and
they're like super keen and everything they're like we live next door to you and i go how do
you know that you live next like i don't give my address out or anything and he goes oh i've just
seen you you know a lot and you walk in and out.
Classic.
Loves it. Fair enough. He's like, oh, I've nearly
said hello to you a bunch of times but then I thought, oh,
I'll leave him alone or whatever.
But I've seen you around about. Oh, and
the fact that my car park is right
next to a car that says got him
on the first size number plate.
That is a bit
of a giveaway.
So it's true.
Yeah.
This genius though, you can never be too sure though, can you?
Yeah.
Sometimes they just allow two.
Is he okay?
I haven't seen him since but I did find it very funny
because then these guys just got really drunk and were like,
we're going to fucking get an Uber with Chanda.
I'm like, all right, no worries.
Yeah, great. I've just, so I'm in this, I've lived in this apartment building for a gender at home. All right. No worries. Yeah, great.
So I've lived in this apartment building for a couple of weeks now.
I'm busting.
I'd love it if there's someone in here that listens to the show.
That would be great.
Or to just pin up on the communal notice board.
A few little ads.
Get the whole building going.
Why don't we just give out the address now?
No.
No.
What is it?
I'll give out my license number, but I will not give out my home address.
Bring plates. Yeah. Yeah. What is it? I'll give out my licence number But I will not give out My home address Green plates
Yeah
Yeah
If you work at
Yeah if you work at
Bed, bath and table
You can supply me with some
House goods
What about this?
So there's a notice board
For this
Because you're in an apartment building
Yep
Flush them out
How's this?
Go out there
Put a sign out in the notice board
And it just says
Is anyone in this apartment building
Aware?
Nice
Okay
Or just a poll Is everything Rick? Yeah To see what kind of answers I get Put those two is anyone in this apartment building aware? Nice. Okay.
Or just a poll.
Is everything Rick?
Yeah.
And see what kind of answers I get.
Put those two.
I love that.
Put that out there.
Okay.
I'll do it.
All right, I'll do it.
See if anything happens.
I love if that's code for something like the fuck dungeon is ready or something like that.
There's a few people in this building that have done the sweet thing
of leasing out their car space.
Now, that is – that's a huge – all you're doing is just profiting
off a fucking bit of concrete that's been allocated to you.
That is fucking sick.
That makes me want to sell my car just to be able to lease out my car space.
Or your parents' car, but anyway.
You should have lunch with Andrew Bolton.
Really talk about it.
Get this off your chair.
I just want to find a space in here that I never see a car in.
Then I just lease that one out.
Who's ever going to know?
Just lease out the car park and put a tent there
and turn it into another dwelling.
I could lease this balcony.
People could sleep on that.
That's not bad. Capa. Capa would be a big chance for it. What do you reckon? It's a roomy balcony. People could sleep on that. Yeah. That's not bad.
Capa.
Capa would be a big chance for it.
What do you reckon?
It's a roomy balcony.
You could get most of your things.
You could get all your stuff out there.
Yeah, it's good.
What do you reckon?
It's got windows.
That's good.
That's a big tick for me.
I lived in a room with no windows for about three years.
No, but you're outside on the balcony.
Yeah, yeah.
It was horrible.
So your view is just into my house.
Capa, is your story you went to jail?
No, I went to jail for six years when I was young.
That's not.
People call it boarding school.
Oh.
He had Fiona going.
Nice.
He had Fiona going then.
Did you go to boarding school?
Yeah, I went to boarding school.
I went to boarding school.
Oh, did you?
Which one did you go to?
What a fucking great ad for boarding school between the two of you.
Wow.
I loved it. The pillars. Wow. I loved it.
The pillars of success.
I loved it so much.
Why?
Because it was like funny girls.
Like I wasn't, you know in school where you've got the cool kids.
Oh, yeah.
The jobs.
The, what else?
You've got the sluts, the pretty girls.
Oh, yeah. Are you saying the sluts, the pretty girls Oh yeah
Are you saying the sluts are the pretty girls?
I don't know what I'm saying
I used to
You know those pretty girls that are like head job pretty?
That's what I call them
Oh wow
I think you're going on the list
I always say that to my boys
I'm like, yeah she's pretty but, but she's head-jumping.
Jesus Christ.
But what does that mean?
Well, it kind of means.
Oh, that's great.
They just, you know what it means.
I don't.
I've never had one.
We're winking at Fiona, but we have to play dumb into the mics
just so we don't get tarred with this brush.
No, no, no, but I want to nail down exactly what it means.
Does that mean, head-jumping pretty means that there's nothing beyond a hedge?
Like you wouldn't want to get anything beyond a hedge job off someone?
Is that what that means?
Maybe it's me being really old and judgmental.
Hedge Job Pretty looks a bit like this.
Oh, right.
Big blow-up dolly.
Okay.
Oh, right, right, right.
More of a physical thing than a character.
Yeah, Than a personality
Kind of character
Anyway you've got all these
Different types at school
But then you
You say this to your sons
About
I have said once
To a son
When he's talking about a girl
With a light
And I said
Yeah but she's a bit
Head job pretty
She's pretty
But she's a bit head job pretty
I could imagine my
Imaginary dick
Going into her mouth
What
What
No
Because you don't have a dick.
You're just saying the head jump.
This is a strange pairing that we've gotten together today.
I know where it's all going, but this car is going all over the place.
This is a wild ride.
I reckon it's good.
You've got all these different types at school.
You've got the cool kids.
You've got the jocks.
You've got the popular kids yep yeah you've got the jocks yep you got the hgps popular girls
then you got the two weird girls all too weird girls who don't need anyone but each other you
know oh yeah oh yeah that's me and carl but i laughed myself stupid i learned nothing wait
who are we talking about i've gotten confused me at boarding school oh you were boarding school
who was the other
So you were one of the two funny ones
Yeah
We weren't even funny
We weren't popular funny
It's just that we
Were in our own funny land
You got each other
And you didn't need anyone else
Are you still in contact with her
Yes
And
Oh really
Yeah
She's
Her name's Jasmine right
And this is the funniest thing
That I saw
With her
Now she's like We refused She did as well, refused to grow up
and become, we refer to the normal people as Darrens and Karens.
Oh, that's good.
We're just not playing Darrens.
We won't play grown-ups like that.
And it's what I was talking about before with this,
people censor their children.
For what reason?
I have no idea.
But Jasmine's flat out.
She's actually a very incredibly generous person in that she's raised about 30 kids.
She doesn't go through foster channels because she's a maverick.
She just – people know.
She lives in Tennant Creek.
She kidnaps them.
She kidnaps them.
People go up to her and go, oh, can you look after my baby?
Can you look after my baby?
I thought you were going to say she was going up to people going,
you've got a spare kid?
No, no.
People in trouble know that Jasmine will take a baby.
Right.
And she'll keep them for up to three years or more and then happily give
them back as soon as the mother's out of jail.
She's incredible.
Oh, wow.
An absolutely incredible woman,
but she has no time for the niceties and conformities of society.
Right.
So she used to come down from Tennant Creek and stay at my place.
And this might shock people, but to me this is beautiful.
One of her natural born kids, not that she differentiates, but her
little, he was about five, and she was
going to, they used to love coming
to Alice Springs because they'd go get
breakfast, McDonald's. Yep.
And he's five, and she's
gone to get
the breakfast, McDonald's, but she missed
it by two minutes. So she comes
back, he's expecting the pancakes
and the McMuffinin and she comes back
with the burger and he his little heart is broken okay and she's hugging him he's crying he's five
and then he said to her and she's not one bit shocked by this because it's just they just don't
have time for censoring themselves he's hugging her her. She's hugging him. He's a little boy crying, getting the comfort from his mother.
He goes, you just should have gone earlier, you dumb cunt.
Oh, fuck.
Where is this kid now?
Get him in.
It was without doubt the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
And she's still hugging him going, I know, I know.
Does she snow?
I beg your pardon, young man.
God damn.
You just should have gone earlier, you dumb cunt.
Now, that's good gear, but that was performed beautifully.
I've got to say, I'll happily put my hand up.
I had no faith.
We were getting near the end of that and I was like,
I don't reckon she's going to pull it out.
I reckon she's taken us on too much of a fucking...
You thought, here comes capper number two.
This will not pay off.
This is going to get to the end and the kid's going to go,
let's go home and watch Art Attack.
Yeah, yeah, or it's going to be something so rude that I have to edit out.
Isn't that –
God damn.
To me, that's a beautiful story.
Now, what I went to say at the start now –
And he's right too.
Yeah.
That's the best bit.
He's absolutely right.
No, he's not anymore. There's the best bit. He's absolutely right. No, he's not anymore.
There's all day breakfast now.
Well, that story won't be tracking with the younger listeners
because they're like, what's he doing?
She's being a bit unreasonable.
She could have just still gotten him pancakes.
For any listeners that have been born in the last three months,
they won't be able to follow that logic since it's been changed.
The other thing was I was starting to go,
this is an Adam Sandler movie where they get there too late
for the breakfast.
You've conflated that with your own life.
Yeah, and then this kid goes on the pro golf tour
and wins a major in his first session.
Goes back to school.
He's five.
I don't know how that works.
Now he's a demon.
Wow, weird.
Anyway, the childhood story and what you said at the very start
of the episode reminded me of a fucking weird thing
from school for me. Fuck yes. Here we go. episode reminded me of a fucking weird thing from school for me.
Fuck yes.
It was –
Here we go.
You like this shit.
A lot of weird shit from school.
Yeah.
A lot of weird shit.
Yeah.
So I once was in a – I think I've been in like one proper fight
and it wasn't even a good fight or anything.
So it was like year seven or something and whatever happened was like
me and some kids said something to each other or i don't
know i don't even know what happened but all of a sudden everyone else was like these two are gonna
have a fight and we're like oh are we yeah yeah these two are fighting tomorrow at school like at
lunch best thing about school is all the fucking event planners just come out of the woodwork
immediately we'll take it from here yeah what time's good for both of you yeah yeah totally
so then it was like the next lunch time
are you scared
was I scared
yeah
I don't think I was scared
I think I was just like
confused
because I was like
oh this would be weird
I haven't had
these before
and the thing was
because then
then all the infrastructure
took a course
where it was like
oh you know
everyone else is planning
what time
and we'll do it here
because then the teachers
won't be able to see
the bookies are getting involved
yeah all that sort of stuff so by the end it was like a like a one minute argument
from the day before i don't even remember what it was about by then i'm like oh we are we still
right okay i've got to go there at one o'clock and and do this and you know everyone gathers
around it's me and this guy who i didn't care about at all and then so it's like us facing
off and i'm like i didn't know what because off. And I'm like, I didn't know what, because I hadn't had a fight
before, I didn't know what was supposed to happen now.
We're just looking at each other and I
say, shall we
start now?
And everyone else goes, yeah.
So then, like we
have some form of a fight, but it didn't end there.
It was like, it gets broken up and then from then on
after that, all these people just
come and pass me at school going,
shall we start the fight now?
The bard is calling for fisticuffs.
Fuck yes.
That's so great.
At boarding school, because no kids, when you got older,
there was like this system that the teachers tried to eradicate
and they called it the sack system.
So you could give younger kids jobs.
So you could go, go get me a can of Coke or whatever.
As a student, you could give a younger student a job?
Yeah, yeah.
That was like, it was like a prison system.
Not a head job.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh.
Well, I'm bored of the story now.
I only got them off the kids that were head job good looking.
Anyway.
So as long as there was a younger student than you,
you could tell a younger student to do whatever you want.
Yeah, and sometimes you've got the worst jobs.
I'd imagine so.
Look for this guy for the phone because there was four phones in the whole school.
They'd ring up and they're like, Tommy Daslow won on the phone.
So you check the football field.
Is Tommy Daslow here? No. Go to the library. Is Tommy Daslow One on the phone So you check the football field Is Tommy Daslow here?
No
Go to the library
Is Tommy Daslow here?
No
So were all the students
Constantly coming up to you
And getting you to do things?
Yeah
Yeah
It was real bad
So year 7
First year of school
Would have been the worst
Because you're being
Postured by everyone
You're at the bottom
Yeah
And when I started
So when I started
It was
The sack system was
Like You know It was Year 12s They'd all get us in the toilets When I started, so when I started, it was the sack system was a riot.
Like, you know, it was the year 12s.
They'd all get us in the toilets the first time we got there
and they'd just yell at us.
They're like.
Yelling at you in the toilet?
Yeah, yeah.
Like, we'd all be in our boxes and they're just like, listen up.
Hang on, hang on.
The teachers are trying to eradicate the sack system.
But if there's an older kid gives you a job, you fucking do it.
You fucking do it.
What the fuck are you looking at, Kappa?
What the fuck?
Give me ten push-ups.
You know what I mean?
I'm reliving it all now.
Oh, my God.
So you're doing ten push-ups in your boxes?
Do they get you to take your clothes off?
No, they just do it in your box.
They got us all out of bed.
Hang on.
Were you taking your own clothes off or were they telling you to take them off?
No, like you'd be in bed and they'd come get you out of bed.
They're like, everybody out of bed.
Well, you didn't explain that bit.
I wondered why you were walking around school in your boxers.
I thought no one was telling you what to do.
Well, I did if you got it flaunted, baby.
Some other younger kid's sack was to wash Kappa's disgusting clothes for him.
He stinks.
I was head job good looking, you know.
So this sounds like one of those elite boys' schools where shit gets ugly.
Yeah, yeah, and it sucked because by the time I got to year 12,
it had been eradicated by the teachers.
I couldn't give anyone else jobs.
It was so annoying.
And all the young kids used to pay me out and stuff like,
oh, Kirby, you dork and stuff.
So, you know, I used to give them like, you know,
I used to beat them up a little bit or whatever.
And then there was this kid.
Bring back the sex system.
Fucking hell.
There was this kid who used to.
Beating up little kids.
Yeah, well, you know, they used to give me cheeks.
I was like, okay, well, I'm bigger than them.
If they're not going to stop it, I'm just.
Who's a dork now?
Beating up a fucking eight-year-old.
It was 12 and up, thank you very much.
And anyway, there was this kid.
You're not a dork.
You didn't say, shall we start now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think his name was James Given or something, I think.
And he used to just annoy me all the time.
And one time he was up in the Year 12 dorms
and I did something totally out of character.
I was just like, that's it.
Because I had a bit of compassion, you know what I mean?
I used to hit him a couple of times and go, all right, I'm out.
But some guys used to never stop.
When you were on the receiving end of that, it was awful.
But anyway, but this guy, he just pissed me off so much.
So I was like, all right.
I held him down and then I grabbed a fire extinguisher off the wall and I sprayed
him with it point blank.
In the face?
No, on the stomach.
Just on his chest?
I sprayed all over his chest.
It was all white everywhere.
It was like a big cloud.
I'm starting to get it.
There's a bit of a fire in me right now
that needs extinguishing, I've got to say.
Just tell us what happens.
You don't have to do imagery.
For those not on the Facebook page, the dumb, dumb Facebook,
there has been a ban on pedophilia jokes.
And I am fully with it.
Yeah, we were just talking about that before.
Okay.
All right.
So, yeah, sprayed him with a fire extinguisher.
And I was like, ha-ha, Kappa's.
Now you've felt the mean spirit of Kappa.
Congratulations, buddy.
I'm a mean guy, you know.
And then, trust me, for it to go wrong, this kid's like,
oh, my skin really hurts, right.
And I found out I burned him with the fire extinguisher.
So I didn't know what to do. So you had these boot drawers underneath your bed, right?
So I grabbed this powder in the boot drawer and I put it all over him,
put it all over his chest and said, this will make you better, man.
It's like burn powder, you know.
And then he's like, oh, I think I feel better, you know.
And I said, I'll check up on you.
Don't tell any teachers or anything.
And you didn't know that this was going to – you just, like,
grabbed some powder and thought I'll just tell him that this is going to work.
Yeah, yeah, I'll tell him it's burn powder.
Burn powder.
I was like, it's burn powder.
It's fine.
Burn powder.
And it was talc powder.
No, it was tinea powder.
For your feet?
So what happened?
So he was okay
And anyway there was a big rumour around the school
They were like did you
Did you burn James Niven and
Rub him to better with tinea powder
I was like yeah it worked a treat
There was a big rumour going around
No that's just what happened
There's probably people from your school
Who's still holding onto that information
And they don't know why.
They're still now like, you know, like tinny powder.
If you get set on fire, that's what it's really good for.
You created an old wives' tale.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It comes in really handy if anyone ever holds you down
and sprays a fire extinguisher all over you from point blank.
Oh, man.
If that ever happens out there, guys, there's a handy hint.
This is the fact sheet
At the end of the show
I try to be mean once
And it goes wrong
Right
I remember once
I fell off my skateboard
And I had a big graze
All the way down
And I was lying in the common room
Like I'm dead
I'm paralysed
I can't move
Anyway this older kid
Walks up and he goes
Are you alright mate
I said yeah
I said I can't move
And he goes good
Pulls down his pants
And then wipes his ass
On my leg.
Like in front of everybody.
I was like, thanks.
Thanks, mate.
Do you kind of understand, you three, that you are the lesser species?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's why we find bullying so funny because it's all we have.
Yeah, yeah.
There's always like...
This is what we...
This is like the sack race or whatever the fuck it's called,
the sack system.
It's like we've all copped it and now we're in a position
where we can give it out and this is our turn.
And just rejoice in how good it is.
It's weird because...
And I would be, what, nearly 20 years older than you
and I went to a Catholic boarding school, which you usually have such horror stories,
but I went to a feminist school.
Oh, wow.
That's cool.
There were these smart, smart women who were nuns but they didn't have all the clobber on
but they loved history or they loved drama or they –
and they didn't have to go home to stupid husbands and stupid children.
So they devoured their – yeah, they were real feminists.
Mine was exactly opposite.
It was an agricultural boarding school that had a farm joined onto the school.
Oh.
So it was just – yeah, it was just mayhem.
That's awful.
Yeah.
There was this farmhand.
I think his name was Lenny. Lenny. Yeah, was this farmhand. I think his name was Lenny.
Lenny.
Yeah, that'd be right.
Lenny.
Good old Lenny.
And you'd be on farm duty and you'd take turns in driving the tractor.
And so all the kids would be in the trailer.
And Lenny would be in the trailer.
And you'd see how fast you could drive to freak Lenny out.
He was just this poor old farm guy.
He'd be Flying down this hill
On the tractor with basically the trailer
Airborne and Lenny going
Slow down, slow down
The more he said slow down
That meant go faster
Freak Lenny out, the poor guy
I don't know how he stayed there
I remember there was a guy in my school that was like
When you did your school test and whatever
And you got whatever the figure was at the end
But there was then a chart.
Your results?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whatever it was called.
What's this strange alien language on this piece of paper?
So there was like a sign that would say what you could qualify to study or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
And this guy there was so dumb.
Everyone was like, this guy's the dumbest.
This guy's the dumbest This guy's the dumbest
In all the schools in Maryborough
I wonder what school he gets
Like what's he going to qualify for
And then like
They all found out what his school was
Which was so small
That we looked it up on this chart
To see what he could possibly study
And the only thing he could do
Was put seats on horses
Yes
Yes
What do you mean, seats on horses?
Whatever that job is.
That's so funny.
What, on a merry-go-round?
Picking up the horse shit and putting the seats on the stuff.
It would be the guy.
The saddles.
Yeah.
The guy was me.
Or the guy that takes the tickets at the show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's no course for that, though.
I think there was a course.
Oh, okay.
Is there anything below that?
No, that was the-
Between a horse seat guide?
That's the lowest of below. I? That's the lowest of the low.
I think that's the lowest we could find.
Anyone in a stables right now listening to this just, you know,
tending to some horses, they're in tears right now.
Yes, but sorry, you dumb fuck.
Yeah, it's your own fault.
It's true.
You should have studied at school.
We had that as well, but it was just you got into UNE, this ag university.
It's pronounced uni.
It was called. You fuckhead. No, it was this you got into UNE, this ag university. It's pronounced uni. It was called.
You fuckhead.
No, it was this University of New England.
Can you move, by the way?
Can you move?
Can I wipe my ass on your face?
Oh, no, it's a uni.
You should have gone to school earlier, you dumb cunt.
No, it's University of New England in Armidale,
and you could just get in on a teacher's credit.
Like the principal would just write a nice letter and like, oh, Nick Capper is smart
enough to get into this university.
And they're like, yeah, I just remember reading the list and it wasn't put seats on horses
but it was like Nick Capper, teacher's credit, UNE.
Yeah, right.
That's the equivalent.
One of my kids I think is so smart because he worked out, he knew what course he wanted to get into.
So he worked out meticulously how little he had to do to get the marks,
to get through.
That's really smart.
I thought that was very smart.
Yeah.
And then he explained, then he got an essay and it was year 12, I think,
or year 11, and the subject was it was over the summer holidays.
What do you value most about your summer break?
And he said not doing homework and handed it in.
And they didn't fail him.
They're like, oh, that kid would miss the breakfast at Macca's.
Yeah. They didn't fail him. They're like, oh, wow. That kid would miss the breakfast at Macca's. I did all the subjects I did in Year 12 got marked down.
So I kind of wanted to do that same thing of just like,
just work out a mark and then, but like, you're playing with fire.
Like, you're losing about 15 points off your score at the end
because I did all art subjects.
One of the things I dropped was maths.
I was like, well, I'm in no position to work out what I actually need to get,
you know, before it gets deducted.
So I'm just, you know, I'm fucking fucked.
That did you wrong because you got six guests on today.
You had to send four of them home.
Oh, no, 30 microphones.
Tell me if you agree.
There's this theory that en masse, although there's a lot of fucking smart cunts,
there's not enough gatekeepers at comedy at the moment.
There's people getting through.
Hey, I'm doing my best.
I know.
Thank you.
But generally stand-up comics, and it's a generalisation,
but I think there's some truth in it,
were generally not necessarily educated,
but did have the smarts.
Right, right.
Where do you acquire these smarts?
Well, what a way to, you know, spend your life.
But there's a lot of people, yeah, look,
smarts is a tough thing to quantify because there's a lot of people that you listen to them on stage and go wow these guys have really got
things going on and and i could never think of what they've they're doing there but then they
walk out the front and don't know how to fucking put a coin in a parking meet
everyone's playing different instruments. What instrument – well, I'll tell you the one I envy.
I cannot riff with the audience.
You can't – yeah.
I've never done it.
You can't. Can't's a tough word, though, because you're doing it with us right now,
but you don't do it on stage.
Yeah, I don't do it.
And do you think it's too late now?
No, because all you need to do is –
I look at the way you do it, you all do it, and I'm in awe of it.
Well, you're doing it right now, so there's no difference.
No, because I know you.
I'm not going to...
Like, if I was to do that on stage and say to someone,
what do you do?
And he said, I'm a proctologist, I would have nothing.
Really?
Wow.
I'd just freeze.
What if he said, I put the saddles on horses?
Now you could go, you're a fucking idiot.
You're clearly a fuckhead.
What do you get on the big score?
I think though because you're –
The big score.
The big score.
Results.
You're right.
If you don't know the meaning results, then you're the horse.
Maybe because you've got to take the piss out of them and I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
But it's all
Look, this is very inside comedy
But it's all about being relaxed and confident
And stuff like that
It's just backing yourself
But that's so surprising
Because I remember
I was tearing my hair out
When no people were coming to my shows
And my show
This is back in the old days
Like last week
Before the podcast actually And I remember that i was talking to you
and i was so in awe but then so jealous at the same time i hated you at the same time because
i was like oh what did you do to write good shows like what did you do you know i've put a lot of
work into this one and writing it and stuff and you're like, I've never written anything down.
Do you know how frustrating that was?
I've never written anything down.
Not one thing you say
for an hour. No, never written
anything down. Fuck you, Fiona.
Fuck you. Fuck everybody.
For someone to say
that and they go, I can't do crowd work,
I'm sorry, I'm not buying it.
But then you got to know her a bit better and you realised
that was probably just because she was too fuck-eyed to hold a pen.
Yeah.
She lost her driver's licence and her pen licence.
But also, yeah, you've got to find a pen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got to get demerit points on your pen licence.
Get caught drawing too many dicks.
I lost some demerit points for the first time.
Red old red light camera. Well, you're out of brothel. You're gone. You're Yeah. I lost some demerit points for the first time. Oh. Red old red light camera.
I,
I'll up you.
Well, you're out of brothel.
You're gone.
You're out.
I'll up you.
No driving.
I just lost it
for the second time.
Lost, lost.
Yeah.
You can't drive.
Well,

no,
no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, No, so what happened was – I've got to get a car first. And a light.
That new system where weirdly – why does this exist?
I mean I'm thankful in this situation it exists where it goes,
right, you've lost your license, but if you'd like to gamble
and figure out if you don't get another point for another year, you're done.
Haven't you already lost it once since that came into effect?
Yes.
So this is your second time through the system.
Well, hang on so they're going to let you have your licence
yes they go you've lost all
here's how the system works if you lose this many points
you lose your licence unless
you'd like to take a gamble
and back yourself
to not lose a point for the next
12 months and if you do that
you then are banned
for twice as long which logically is like okay it sounds like you're in a fucking casino or
something yeah it makes sense yeah do you why are you gambling with someone who has already broken
so many laws yeah why are you making cutting a deal with someone like me you should only be able
to make that deal like the like the first time your license. It should just be every time you lose your license.
That should be the crazy idea I come up with as I'm drunk stumbling out of the car.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about this?
Yeah, you're trying to sweet talk them over the counter.
But what if I never do this again?
Yeah.
And if I do, you can do it for double the time.
Double or nothing off, sir.
That's exactly what it is.
All right, you've robbed six banks.
Yeah.
If you don't rob a bank for a year.
Yeah, yeah.
What if I don't rob a bank for another year?
Okay, you're fine.
Yeah.
What's interesting about like authority as you get older is the less it matters to you,
the more likely you are to get off.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Which is insane.
I was talking about this with Chris Wainhouse the other night.
Two examples, one of mine, one of his.
And he was explaining.
Let me guess, yours was jaywalking,
his was sticking a knife into a prison warden's neck.
He didn't like jail.
It was the people.
That's my favourite joke of his.
I love it.
But you just passed off as one of your own observations
Yeah, he was talking about
You know the swiping at Coles
The self-service check-out
He just doesn't give a shit
It's not like he's stealing
But if it doesn't swipe
He's not going to go back and double check.
That's stealing.
So he's a busy man.
He really gambled.
Anyway, he's walking out and the guy comes out and he says,
excuse me, sir, are you sure, did you swipe all your items?
And they're used to people being either frightened or defensive.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, Wainhouse turns around and he goes, probably not.
And then the guy goes, would you like to come back in?
And he said, no, I'm drunk.
And at that moment, the guy's just like, I don't understand what's happening,
so go.
And this is worth more than my job.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I had one on a – I was on a tram and I saw the conductors come on.
Three years ago this happened to me and I freaked out
because I didn't have a penny, you know.
But now –
Inspectors, you mean?
No.
There haven't been conductors since like 1991.
Sorry, not conductors.
Inspectors. But it looked like the Gestapo. There haven't been conductors since like 1991. Sorry, not conductors. Inspectors.
But it looked like the Gestapo.
Was there a lady with a tray of chocolates?
Was this when you were on the Orient Express?
Yes, and there was a murder.
Captain Cook was driving.
Sorry, what do I say?
Conductors.
But I meant to say
It's betas
Yeah, those cunts
Anyway, so they get on and I'm like, oh fuck, I haven't swiped on
Anyway, then I'm deciding, oh, which one will I play?
I've just decided to do two characters
But I'm deciding which one would be more fun for me
It's like, thank God you're here
Because I just had my tummy tucked, so I had drainage tubes.
I'm like, well, I could just lift up my skirt and go just out of hospital.
And there's blood coming out of tubes into bottles that are strapped to my legs.
Probably not the weirdest thing seen on that tram, though.
Which one are we on, the 86?
They're like, oh, another drainer.
So I think, oh, that'll be easy.
Nowhere near as much fun as Plan B.
So I've gone with Plan B.
And so I pretended, because when you're playing a character,
you've got to have a backstory.
So I suddenly decided I'm just the richest person I know,
like terribly rich woman, and I don't catch trams.
I know nothing about the tram system.
So they've come up to me and they've – so they've not seen fit.
Anyway, she said, excuse me, have you – and I handed her my Mikey
and I hadn't touched on, which I was well aware of.
And she said, oh, but you haven't touched on.
And I looked at her like, I don't understand.
I looked like I had no idea there was a consequence for that.
Right, right.
I said, oh, I've just had lunch.
I've just had dinner with my sister.
She said all the trams in the city are free.
And she said to me, but then, well, that's in the city,
but you're in Carlton.
It's not free in Carlton.
And then I went, what's a Carlton?
Yes.
What's a Carlton? You can't be so rich you don't know what Carlton is. Yes a Carlton? Yes. What's a Carlton?
You can't be so rich you don't know what Carlton is.
Yes, you can.
Yes.
I only know Gold Suburb.
What's a Carlton?
The City of Gold.
There's Melbourne, there's Toorak and then there's everything else.
So I said to Vivian, have you done one?
But then I gave her the card. I said, oh, I'm happy to. Do I need to Vivian, a view-demand. But then I gave her the card.
I said, oh, I'm happy to – do I need to touch on – would you like to take my card?
I've got the card.
They just got more – it's bamboozling.
Yeah, right, right, right.
Well, speaking of rich or prestigious, this is the closest I'm getting to it at the moment,
which is – so I've got a cat now.
I've had a cat for, I don't know, a year or something like that, a bit under a year.
Crunchy.
I've got my cat called Crunchy.
Now, it was born in the same litter.
We get updates of the other litter.
What?
Is that normal?
I've never heard of that before.
Yeah, I used to know my cat's siblings.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pussles went on to be a firefighter.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like getting the newsletter from the – Pussles went on to be a firefighter. Yeah, yeah. He did Pussles.
Yeah, yeah.
Pussles, yeah.
It's like getting the newsletter from the school or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like what people are up to or whatever.
So the brother of Crunchy is like winning all these cat shows.
Really?
Yeah.
Winning all these cat shows.
And we're getting the pictures back of of this cat with a big sash over it
and everything.
And the thing is, it looks exactly like our cat.
Oh, yes.
It looks exactly like Crunchy.
Yes.
So you're going to become a stage mum.
Well, that's it.
My wife now is like, well, let's enter Crunchy in all the cat shows.
Oh, man.
But we can't do that.
No, because then you will be people who enter their cat shows.
Exactly.
Oh, my God.
Exactly.
Yes.
No, you have to do this.
This has to be done.
I want live up.
I want to go.
She wants to do it.
I'll be a cat.
I reckon I've got pretty good stance.
Yeah, yeah.
She wants to do it.
I'm like, but what do you...
Definitely got nine lives.
What do you care?
We just get a sash or something.
Who cares?
And to be honest, I reckon we just use those photos and say it's crunchy.
Yeah.
Because it looks exactly like this.
Yeah, yeah.
It's the same cat.
Is it like bred to be a show cat or something?
No, it's just a very, you know, purebred, beautiful breed.
Right.
My cat's a good looking cat.
But hasn't your cat fawned in the toilet a lot of times?
Yes, yes.
That's bound to do something to your looks.
No, it's hydration
That's fine
Oh my god look at this fur
It's like toilet duck kind of sheen on it
And that would be awesome
So you're having to do the thing where you're like
Is it that shit where you're like making it go through the little obstacle course
Oh yeah I don't know
I'll look into it
I don't know what you have to do
Get me in there
She listens to me more than she listens to you
She loves me
Is it a pedigree cat? I don't know what you have to do. Get me in there. She'll listen to me more than she listens to you. Yeah, she actually does. She loves me. Is it a pedigree cat?
I don't know what pedigree means exactly, so I'm not sure.
It just means you paid a lot for it.
Yeah, we paid a lot for it.
You would have paid a lot.
And their hips are fucked.
It's got all the legs.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a good-looking cat, so it's like a purebred.
It comes from a proper breeder and all that sort of stuff.
Well, then it's a pedigree.
I really want to get a dog, right?
And the breeds that I want, they're all like commonly,
they're bred as like shows.
So you find breeders and they're like, we have a rich history of our dogs,
you know, winning all these awards at all these shows.
And it's like, yeah, but can I get a little off?
Because I'm not going to do that.
I'm not profiting off this thing in any way.
Do you know what I mean?
I've still got to pay a premium just to have a fucking.
If you want to get the best dog you've ever seen,
you've got to find someone with a Dachshund
and mate it with a Pekingese.
It sounds fucked up.
It's the most beautiful looking.
Sure, but what's in it for me, apart from the obvious?
So, look, I'll look into it because I don't know if there's cash prizes.
What do you get out of these cat shows?
You get money.
You surely get money.
You get something.
And, look, you've got to do it for Crunchy.
I mean, his brothers, like winning cat shows,
and he's the fucked reject brother.
She's the fucked reject.
Do you understand what this entails?
You've got to go to Oval.
He keeps falling down the toilet.
No, I'm into it.
You have to go to Parks.
You have to deal with other people.
Her owner is a sadist podcaster.
It's so good for the podcast.
From Maryborough.
We'd have so much to talk about if your cat is just going around winning.
If your cat becomes more famous than you, that's what we need.
I'll look into it and it could be a one-off.
It wouldn't be a regular thing because my wife is keen.
She doesn't know what it entails.
We have to commentate.
We will film the catcher and we will commentate.
Yeah, but cats, I don't know what happens with these show cats,
whether they –
I know, because cats don't do anything you tell them to.
Yeah, exactly.
And also, this is one of the cats, and I would say most cats are like this,
as soon as you bring them anywhere that's not their fucking favourite spot,
they freak out and go fucking bananas.
So this is what my cat would do.
But that's what the show – that's like have you gotten that out of it?
That's what you're being judged on
Yeah
How well it behaves
Well in that case
The cat's gonna come fucking last
It's a poor reflection on you as an owner
Yeah
That's why you
That's why you don't want to be under the microscope
I've got a
I've got a method
Spray it with a fire extinguisher
Then rub tinny about
Then tinny
It'll do whatever you want
Well because
You know
Like I've never been responsible
For like a
Pet before properly
Like I've had
Cats and dogs As a kid And so the You know Mum and dad've never been responsible for like a pet before properly. Like I've had cats and dogs as a kid and so the, you know, mum and dad take care of everything.
Yeah.
But now it's like, fuck, I go to the supermarket and all I'm doing is fucking buying stuff for
the cat and not really buying that much for me, just buying fucking stuff flat out.
Now, they've just, you know, we've just had the laws passes with the plastic bags and
all that stuff at the supermarket where you've got to-
Andrew Bolt lost his mind.
Oh, yeah, yeah. He hated that, of course. Not a fan. Yeah. Plastic bags. had the laws passes with the plastic bags and all that stuff at the supermarket where you've got to Andrew Bolt lost his mind oh yeah yeah
he hated that of course
not a fan
plastic bags
so this
that reminded me
we've got to look into
the next bit of merch
we were talking about
we've got to get a tote bag
Dungeon Club tote bag
now
it reminds me
I really want to do that
to bring my own
you know bag around
and whatever
because I don't know
if you're like me
but I was
I'm now going to the supermarket all the time without a bag
but then they go do you want to buy a bag? I'm like no because that
defeats the purpose of the whole law and everything. I don't
want to buy any plastic bags. I'll just
carry it with me.
And that's fun isn't it because you're carrying all those
little tiny cat things.
I'll have an apple.
I'll have fucking tins of cat food.
And anyone who sees you like that they're thinking
to themselves I guarantee there's no cat
Yeah yeah yeah
There's no cat
Back at the house
So I'm doing that
Crunchy
So I'm doing that
I'm doing that constantly
Now the need
For the canvas bag
Is because I'm doing that
Constantly
And just sticking it
In every pocket I have
In that
You know
When I got here
I realised
I've fucking done it now
My pockets are fucking
Filled with cat food
Right now
Oh my god
Like I'm just carrying it around With pockets are fucking Filled with cat food Right now Oh my god Like
I'm just carrying it around
With me everywhere
You're a soft touch too
Fancy feast
Are you guys gonna eat this
Cause it's looking pretty good
Yeah Cap is salivating
Gravy numbers
Chicken feast
I've got fucking warm
Fancy feast tins in my pocket
That have been there all day
Cause I fucking forgot
Grilled white fish
All my fucking pockets
Are filled with cat food
Grilled turkey
You give her a little
Mix of flavours.
That's good.
You're a softie for the cat.
You love the cat.
A little crunchy.
What flavour is this?
Chuck is this.
Gourmet delight.
It's grain free.
So that's good.
I choose what I would eat.
Chuck is that one.
Look, decadent roast chicken.
I'd eat that.
What flavour is this one?
It's funny, man.
Dark sandwich.
Interesting. Gravy lovers, chicken and feet. Chicken and gravy? I dig that What flavour is this one? It's funny man Dark sandwich Interesting
Gravy lovers
Chicken and feet
Chicken and gravy
Fucking hell
Like
She owes me
She should win
A fucking ribbon
This is good shit
This one's the dreams
Of open micers
Did cats do that thing
When they get separated
From a litter
Do they like
The first night you had her
Or whatever
Did she freak out?
I think I can't remember.
We got a dog when I was a kid, when I was like 12 and we bring it home.
We have her sleeping in the kitchen and she just cries all night and it's like, can't
sleep because it's so loud, just her whimpering.
And I'm getting a bit upset because you're thinking this thing's going to be part of
the family.
We're going to love her.
I go, Dad, why is she crying?
And Dad's like, well, it's just because she's been separated
from her brothers and her sisters and her mum,
so she's just crying because she misses them.
And I'm like, okay, well, how will this stop?
And Dad's like, well, just over time,
she'll just eventually forget that they ever existed
and then in her brain, we're all that she's ever known.
And that's how we get over this problem,
her just forgetting her entire family
so we're just going to basically brainwash her
into thinking that this is what her life has always
been. Good night and it's
fucking really hard to get on board with the concept of
having a pet as a kid when that's the
pitch. That's fucked.
That's what the year 12s told me in their boxes.
Your dad's dead.
I'm your dad now
Now open your mouth up
And put this fucking tube
From the
From the fire extinguisher
In your mouth
Kids are so gullible though
Our cat
When I was a kid
We only had one cat
Called Lugsy
Big fat white cat
This is going to be a bad story
Lugsy
My spidey sense is going off
It's not good
They ate the cat I bet
It ended up
Having kittens in mum's wardrobe
Oh no Then I was so dumb There's no roast decadent chicken In this story That's not good. They ate the cat, I bet. It ended up having kittens in mum's wardrobe. Oh, no.
Then I was so dumb.
There's no roast decadent chicken in this story.
I walked into the kitchen and there's my dad and my uncle just taping up a box of kittens.
Oh, fuck.
Like tape, heavy duty tape.
Oh, crunchy.
And I said, what are you doing?
And he said, oh, these kittens are going to a community
where the poor little kids have never seen kittens.
And they weren't.
They were going down the well.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, God.
But that's, you know, we survived it.
Yeah, you did.
Jesus.
Fucking Crunchy's great-great-grandfather did.
Your feelings out about your cat who didn't get to see its parents.
It was a dog.
Oh, dog.
I had to see kittens taped up to their death.
But they were just cats.
I'm house-sitting at the moment and it's Mike Goldstein's house, actually,
and he's got two cats and they fight at night and it is scary.
I don't know what's going on there.
Right.
It's like a battle for supremacy.
So they're like, okay, cab is asleep, let's fight.
Wow.
And it's crazy.
The noise is just like.
You know how you stop that?
What?
You send one of them down the well.
Yeah.
Probably soft.
Stop bitching.
Well, one of them hid from me for like a week
It's like I'm not
I'm not
You know
I'm just going to come out and have my food
And
I'm going to come out and have my food
And then they just leave
And then the other one just wouldn't leave me alone
And now it's changed hands
Right
I think they're
Like the other one's like
Oh no
Screw Kappa
Alright
He didn't give me enough love
And then they're like
Okay
Now that his feelings are dead, I'll move in.
They're dealing with you in shifts.
Yeah.
And then I went to the gym and one of the trainers had like a little dash
hand and was running to everybody in the gym going, hey,
playing with their towel and stuff.
Then it came up to me and just barked consistently for like five minutes.
Wiped its ass on your leg.
And I was like, oh, it must be the cat, right?
You know how you say that as a get out thing?
Like, okay, the dog doesn't like me but I'll say it's the cat on me.
And then the trainer goes, no, the dog loves cats.
I'm like, cool, thanks for ruining my exit, all right?
Now I just look evil.
Fuck you, Jim.
And I didn't go back.
I want to go back quickly to the demerit points.
So what's your poison?
Is it red lights every time?
Or is it a bit of speeding in the mix?
I reckon you're a speeder.
I reckon you're a fucking lead foot.
I'm pretty cool.
Don't tell me.
Hell yeah.
I'm a bad boy.
I like to go fast.
Man, you drive an old BMW.
I swear the previous owner was Eva Braun.
How do you get it over 30 kilometres an hour?
It goes all right.
Not a DUI.
No.
You know what I'd like to see brought in?
Comedy demerit points.
Now, that'd be something.
After each gig, certain comedy faux pas are slated.
That's three points.
Now, look, that's your last one.
Now, you can keep doing gigs, but if you do one more thing in the next year,
that's it, banned forever.
No, Fiona, you don't want that to come in
because you'd already been banned for CUI, comedy under the influence,
a lot of times.
It's the same thing.
I wouldn't be banned for life, wouldn't I?
Yeah, from that.
I saw one of them.
Oh, dear. Unfortunately, I didn't be bad for life, wouldn't I? Yeah, from that. I saw one of them. Oh, dear.
Unfortunately, I didn't.
I reckon that made comedy better.
Like, I reckon there should be more drunk people on stage.
People don't drink anymore.
Yeah, I don't really.
I think comics don't drink anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, because I run a few rooms and stuff, you know,
years ago when you had, like, drink cards and stuff,
they used to fucking fly out the door.
But now I have drink cards absolutely untouched.
Yeah.
The new generation of comics is just like, no, they want to –
like they've got no excuse for their shitty comedy these days.
I've had a couple of nights where I've been out drinking like on a night
that your gig has been on and I've been nearby and I know the position
you're in.
I come in.
Yeah, yeah.
Just not even on at the gig.
You can't fucking offload those things to me fast enough. You're like, oh position you're in. I come in just not even on at the gig.
You can't fucking offload those things to me fast enough. You're like, oh, you seem drunk.
Are you drinking?
Here, have four more pints.
You're desperate.
You're overjoyed.
You're right.
I am a great bloke.
Am I just being an old lady or is the problem,
and there are problems I feel, and I think comics,
young comics are getting better quicker in a lot of them
than we do.
Thank you.
Very much the case.
Some comics are getting way better, way quicker.
Yep.
On the other hand, there's some fucking imposters getting through
and I'm wondering if…
If you can name them, sure.
No, no.
Is it that they're just using comedy as a stepping stone to fame?
I think so.
Has that not always been the case or no?
Never.
But you would have been…
When you started there was like…
You hear people like generationally talk about this where it was like comedy wasn't a job.
It was just like something…
But now there's like years and years worth of people being very famous for doing stand up so if you're like
18 you go oh this is something that's going to make me
famous. Oh I guess when you say
known for your stand up would be fine
but I didn't know there was anything outside
of comedy. Right right
When I started I was
like oh my god imagine headlining
a comedy room. You'll get there one day
That's it. That's it. I want it
Now it's like oh that, I want my own ticket.
Yeah.
Now you've got people like fakes just going,
just doing comedy so they can go into the jungle and get like heaps of money
and stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I used to hate those kind of people,
but I don't mind it when they wear it on their sleeve.
Oh, yes.
Like they were just like just to do it.
They just want to get famous.
They're a great looking person. They're a great-looking person.
They're great to you.
And then their comedy isn't.
It's like very vanilla, but they know that.
I just didn't.
And they know that you know that.
I just did it to get into the podcast.
I wear it on their sleeve.
Don't hide behind their craft.
Yeah, yeah.
But then you get some people and they're just like, yeah,
I'm a groundbreaker and all that.
And they're like, yeah, I'm just cool.
I don't do any work. And you're like, you, I'm just cool. I don't do any work.
And you're like, you're working your dick off or whatever you have.
Which one are you?
You know, it's hard to explain what I do.
I love what you do.
I love what you do, Nick.
It's like art attack.
With the Nanette phenomenon, we are going –
everyone's going to have to dig a bit deeper.
You might have to look into kleptomania or something.
Not everyone can just get –
Yeah.
I'm – yeah, man, a lot of my specialists I think are very Nanette-like,
as in a lot of people have been traumatised by them
and haven't laughed that much.
It's a very new art form, stand-up.
It's only been around 40, 50 years.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it's new in Australia.
It's changing.
Like, it's – you don't know how new stand-up is in Australia because, you know,
like, yeah, if a female gets on stage, sometimes you're at a gig
and you just hear the audience go, hmm.
Yeah.
Like that.
Like, they suck in.
You're just like, oh, fuck.
Really?
Yeah.
And just when I think it's gone, it comes back again.
Like I'll go to a gig and it's just like this.
It's that collective arm crossing.
Yeah, and you're just like, oh, okay, it's still new in Australia,
you know, that kind of thing.
Or the fact when people don't laugh at me and I'm like,
these people just aren't educated enough in comedy.
What I'm doing doesn't even exist yet.
They just have no context for what's going on up here.
I'm like Andy Kaufman except years ahead.
Like you could say 30 to 40 years ahead.
Except he was doing it on purpose.
Well, guys, that is all the time we have for the Little Dumb Dumb Club this week.
Nick Capa, Fiona O'Loughlin, thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you. You've both got stuff coming, Nick Capper, Fiona O'Loughlin. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you.

It's just being released.
In a couple of weeks.
You've got a podcast?
Yeah, I've got a podcast, The Phone Hacks.
Yeah, I'd love to get all you guys on it one time.
We go through your phones, Mike Goldstein and I, and it's a bit bloody fun.
That's so cool.
Can I come on it?
Sounds like a thing I'll absolutely never do.
Yeah. Well, we don't want to like a thing I'll absolutely never do. Yeah.
Well, we don't want to see photos of...
Go on.
Nothing.
Can I bring my dick pics?
I get 20 a day.
Oh, really?
No.
Cool.
All right.
I'll cut it back to 19.
So you go through Text messages

We don't go through
Stuff that deep
We just go through

A punishment
Last week
Where I got like
Two threats
Well not threats But people were like You should take that down Mike Goldstein Made Yes, we do. Yeah, I had to do a punishment last week where I got like two threats.
Well, not threats, but people were like, you should take that down.
Mike Goldstein made, because you have to do a punishment.
And he wrote for me, he wrote on my Facebook as a status,
Nanette, more like, no, no, no, thank you.
So I left that up.
Half an hour, I got a lot of messages.
And the worst thing about it is I'm friends with Hannah Gadsby on Facebook.
And I was like... That would have crushed her as she was on Jimmy Fallon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so I was like, yeah, I've got to take that one down.
But yeah, we've done a lot of fucked shit to each other.
I wrote on Mike Goldstein's Twitter, RIP Dad.
Yeah, it was fucked.
That's great.
Great license plate suggestion.
But wait, no.
You've got a solo show in Brisbane sometime.
At Brisbane Funnyfest.
Yeah, and what's it called?
Just called Pork Palace.
Great.
Yeah.
What's the date on that?
It's 20th, around the 20th of August.
Right.
Yeah.
Fiona, what have you got?
You've got stuff coming up.
Well, I've got, where's my bag?
Trying to look for dates on your phone at the moment.
Fiona's taken off.
She's looking for the hip flask
I think
she's going into her phone
she's getting out
you still need to talk
into the microphone
when you talk
so the other night
I did a show
in North Sydney
okay
got a standing ovation
wow
and
and it was
a real
standing ovation
like not just.
Both of them stood up.
There were 600 people there.
Oh, that was brutal.
And then I get this message.
Sorry.
This is quite the build up.
This is half as good as Alice Springs McDonald's.
You're in for a treat.
Fuck off, it's the same punch.
The same message.
Why are you getting a standing ovation?
You missed out on breakfast.
Standing ovation.
I was on cloud nine.
I just seriously, it was amazing.
And it's the gap year show that I've been doing.
Yeah.
Hello there.
Came to your show on Saturday at Campbelltown Catholic Club.
I empathise with your life's lows and good on you for coming through it.
Just let me down, as we were expecting in a comedy show.
A lot of people were left disappointed.
Take care, Diane.
So I'm just going to work on...
On a reply.
Yeah.
Oh, right, great.
Yeah. I've got a lot to Yeah. Oh, right. Great. Yeah.
I've got a lot to do.
I've let down Diane.
Yeah.
And I don't like letting people down.
Feel free to share the draft around with us.
We can help you work on it.
Yeah, we can punch up the reply.
Yeah, yeah.
You dumb cunt.
Oh, my God.
Fuck.
That's great.
Something to look forward to.
All right.
Guys, thank you so much for listening, and we'll see you next time.
See you, mates.
Never get in with that see you, mates quick enough.
And they have done it again.
I'll concur.
That was a soundboard just then.
Oh, was it?
Yeah.
I've patched in all those words and I just kind of hit the keys on my keyboard.
Wow.
Do you want me to do it again?
You're talking and you've got all of your phrases.
I've got a soundboard of me, yeah, that I can just hit while I talk.
That's a little bit, you know, up your own ass sort of thing, isn't it?
Up my own ass?
Yeah.
Hang on, I've got that on the soundboard.
Up my own ass sort of thing, isn't it? Up my own ass? Yeah. Hang on, I've got that on the soundboard. Up my own ass.
So you've got like a Stephen Hawking version of you.
Yes.
Yeah, right.
Yes.
I can talk whenever I want.
Right.
But just when the voice is feeling a bit clapped out,
I can just go to the soundboard.
Okay.
They, they, they, they, they, they, they, they've done it again,
again, again, again, again, again, again.
That is cool.
I take back my, I was a little bit doubtful, but I quite like this.
You may have noticed that ah and gen are both separate keys on the soundboard.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, whole word again in there yeah so i just put gan and i just uh patch them together oh so so uh separate words so you can use that for when you want to use the word gain really you know if you if you want to sort of say hey just want to gain some information yeah but you didn't want to say
it you could use that bit yeah yeah dillarook has ganned wait i wonder how our little friend is doing. I wonder if he's not so little anymore.
Oh.
I'll tell you what, everyone is seeing me up to go.
Everyone's got their theory on when Dilruch is going to put all the weight back on.
Really?
Yeah.
Interesting.
A lot of people's theories are non-stop.
It's going to happen right now.
Right.
A lot of Dilruch truth is out there.
Right.
Interesting.
Have we got anything to say about the episode we just heard,
Nick Capper and Fiona O'Loughlin?
Jeez, if either of us could remember anything from it,
because we recorded it, what, like a month ago now?
We're doing a lot of episodes in advance at the moment,
so it's a bit of a struggle to remember what happened.
But I vaguely remember it being good.
It was good.
It was good fun. Fiona told, I think, one of my favourite stories I vaguely remember it being good. It was good. It was good fun.
Fiona told, I think, one of my favourite stories
I've ever heard on this pod.
Wow.
About her friend having that kid
and going to get breakfast in Alice Springs.
No memory of it.
Missing breakfast and the kid crying.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
This is weird to people who've literally just heard it
like five minutes ago.
Yeah, okay. I vaguely remember it now it yeah yeah i remember nick kappa saying afterwards oh sorry about that i felt like i was a bit off like okay no i thought
it was a real good one okay that's good yeah good news oh well in that case i hardly recommend
you people uh listening to this uh going back and listening to it yeah yeah just rewind just
go straight back in yeah i love that this is officially Talking Dum Dum.
This segment is Talking Dum Dum.
And we're just going, so what happened?
What was it?
But that's, I mean, we're talking about it.
We're trying to work it out.
Right.
You know, we're explorers here.
Yeah.
We're trying to crack some of the great mysteries.
Now, we call it Talking Dum Dum because,
partly because, you know, some of those other shows
that want to talk about a specific show afterwards
is like the Talking Dead instead of Walking Dead.
There's Talking Bad instead of Breaking Bad.
Yep.
I only found out this week that there's Talking Saul.
Is there really?
Yeah.
Right.
Instead of Better Talk Saul.
Surely that's a better name for it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it is. I mean, they got lucky with Breaking Bad name for it. Yeah. I think it is.
I mean, they got lucky with Breaking Bad and Walking Dead.
Yeah.
And now they're just, yeah.
I wonder if that's going to be,
because all those shows are on the same network, AMC.
I wonder if that's going to be a new thing in the contract at AMC.
Your show title has to have a word in it
that's easily transferable to the word talking.
What if their new show was called Talk Talk and then you have to be like talking talk talk?
Like it's like, sorry, but that's the template.
We've got to use it.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
So, yeah, we don't know.
We clearly don't know what just happened.
But then what would this be?
This would be the little dumb dumb talk.
You know what I mean?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know. I think what I mean? Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
I don't know.
I think we're okay
with what we've got.
Yeah.
Hey,
I've got a theory
just quickly
based on this episode.
So,
we talk on this episode
about how there is a,
there is a little shelf
at the,
just right at the entrance
of my apartment
where all my little
Nintendo figurines
are proudly on display.
And I noticed as everyone was leaving my apartment
after doing this episode that people have just heard,
Fiona, what?
Are you going to accuse someone of stealing something?
No, no, no, no, no.
Damn.
I saw Fiona kind of like, you know, gazing at the shelf
of Nintendo figurines with a puzzled look on her face.
A kind of, you know, a bit of a furrowed brow kind of a look.
And it reeked to me of something where she was going to leave my house
and then immediately text you going,
what the fuck is with this little virgin and his sad little toys
at the front door?
Now, did that happen?
No.
Okay.
No.
I just felt a lot of confused judgement from her.
She was probably drunk and she thought they were real people there.
How did they get so small
She thought
They were little themed
Yeah
Little alcohol bottles
That she could like
Pull Mario's head off
And just
Yeah
Tip into some Jager
Why have they pulled
These things out of the minibar
Why are they just sitting
They're going to get warm
That was
No I did not hear from her
Right
She's a bit of a
Enigma
With the communication I get from her.
I've never quite got a handle on her.
Really?
Never quite got a handle on whether we're friends or not, I think.
Really?
Yeah.
You really feel that way?
Yes.
Okay.
Just because I've never quite read her.
Like, you know what?
I don't think this is a diss.
I just think this is how people live.
People who are addicted to things
become very good liars right okay i i'm glad to hear you say that because i have i have a little
bit of that too right with with her right where but i have that with a lot of people where i just
don't know especially with comedians where they're like you know people will come and do this and
they're very nice and they're very like oh this is cool. But then we're all so fucking mean about each other behind our backs
that it's like, well, what do I get when I'm not – you know what I mean?
What's this person saying about me when I'm not around?
Do you know what I mean?
Where someone will sit here and be like, oh, this cunt,
and then you see a picture of them on Twitter thick as thieves
with the person that they've just rinsed out.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I kind of have a lot of self-doubt about like, you know,
does anyone value my company at all?
I'm not so much that way.
More in that I'm, like I said, with her, when you're addicted to something,
I think you become a very big liar.
Right.
And I think even when you're not addicted, you know, she is still addicted,
but she's dealing with that.
Yeah.
And look, just to be clear, Fiona, to her knowledge, has been great
and has meetings and all that sort of stuff.
She's all in the clear at the moment.
This is a great Talking Dumb Dumb, by the way.
Yeah.
This might be the most dumb dumb we've ever talked on Talking Dumb Dumb.
Yeah.
But obviously it's an ongoing thing and from what I believe
and understand that you have meetings every day and she does all that.
So, my point being is that she's been really strong and really great with everything.
So, I'm not casting aspersions on whether she's doing anything bad at the moment or
whatever.
But the values that you get when you become an addict, when you slowly become an addict
is that you just get used to lying to people for so long that it just becomes part of you.
And the addicts I know, and I know a few, are just big liars
and it's just part of them.
And that's not saying they are bad people, but they just have that habit.
And so my point being is when you talk to someone like that,
you go, are you lying now?
Because it becomes a very easy thing to do, to lie.
You just go, oh, that doesn't mean anything. You don't have to think about it again yeah no you're right
you're totally right yeah i think with and one particular thing that sticks with me is that
fiona once said uh to us i think she grabbed a poster office or something and went can i grab
one of these posters because my son's like a massive dumb dumb fan and and you know he'd love
to have this.
And I think we ran into him shortly after that and it was like,
you don't know who the fuck we are.
He served us, didn't he? He served us at a burger restaurant in Adelaide.
It's like, you don't know who the fuck we are.
Why did you make that up?
Right, right.
He's not a fan of us at all.
Right.
But let's be very clear, we've got a lot of love for Fiona.
Yes.
Great, you know, very, very, very valued member of the Dum Dum family.
Oh, totally.
And, you know, we always especially respect the fact that people
that have got profiles and actual shit going on that are happy
to come and do our thing.
You know, that's awesome.
Usually there's some people that you've got to really sort of twist the arm off
to come and, you know, bother spending an hour with us.
And, you know, look, it is an effort.
But Fiona's always been someone who's – there's been no problem getting her
to come and talk to us, which is great.
Yeah.
She loves it.
But she might hate us.
Yeah.
Secretly might hate us.
Yeah.
Just using us to get that sweet bump, that sweet dum-dum bump.
Well, look, to be honest, before about a year ago,
she didn't have that much going on.
She had enough going on, but not that much.
But now she's got fucking heaps of shit going on. Totally.
But she's still doing her thing, so fucking
great. Thank you. Yeah, great.
Great to have her back in here.
Fun pairing her and Kappa.
Good stuff. Yeah, and
A plus from me for this one.
I wonder what Kappa thinks of us.
I think it's like, you know, in cartoons when they're on a desert island
and they're just, you know, they're just like starving
and they'll look at each other and see like an ice cream cone or a pork chop.
Kappa looks at us and just sees two big dollar signs walking around.
No, I don't think he's even – I don't think he's that smart.
I think he sees us and sees big scent signs and is like, awesome.
I started listening to his podcast the other day.
It's good.
Okay.
Yeah.
Shout out.
All right.
If you're looking for something else to listen to.
Yeah.
I'm not going to name it.
You should have to do a little bit of work.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not even going to name him.
They asked me to go on it and I can't think of anything worse, to be honest.
I had the same reaction
You, I mean, yeah
You, as your legal counsel
I've got to say to you, never go on that show
Good
Where they get to go through your phone and read all your messages
And go through your drafts and see all your screenshots
Yeah
No thanks
All I need to do is look at our chat and it's like, we're done.
If I was going to quit comedy and life, I'd go on it.
That'll be my swan song.
I'll go on that show and go, you know, like look at whatever you want, boys.
I'm out.
I'm changing my name and moving to Mexico.
What if they brought back the old show, This Is Your Life,
and instead of it just bring back your school teacher, it's just someone going
through your Facebook chats and your text messages and your screenshots.
That's such a good idea.
Fuck.
And it's not a positive This Is Your Life, obviously.
Yeah, it's This Is Your Life brackets and you're a cunt.
You cunt.
We should do that.
That's a great pitch.
Yeah.
That is a fucking great pitch.
But it's not – so the thing would have to be like it's not –
you don't want celebs on it.
It's just everyday people.
So you get them in and then it's like,
why are you talking so much shit about the person
who sits next to you in the office?
What's wrong with you?
You could totally do it with celebs.
It's like it's that phone hacking thing where you get access
to whatever you want through celebrities or whatever.
You can do it with anyone.
I mean, it'd be more interesting if it was a celebrity,
but just to see what they think about other celebrities or whatever.
We could finally find out what Fiona thinks about us.
I think we'll find that out one day when she accidentally texts one of us
about us.
She's so old and demented.
I'm surprised that hasn't happened already.
Yeah, yeah.
She's not great with the – she's famously, at least with us,
put a few not-for-intended public eyes posts on social media.
She's done that many times.
Oh, yeah.
She's done things where she's meant to post it privately
and put it as her status and it's been
up for like
Should we just talk about
the whole thing?
There was a couple of times where she
just put some horrendous stuff
online and then we're texting
her going, you've put that
IRL in real life. Take it
down and then she's writing more comments
saying I don't know how to take this down or posting more stuff.
No, it's her replying going like, oh, fuck, this is so fucked.
Oh, my God, I am so fucking dumb.
And then like five minutes later you messaging her again,
it's still there.
And just her being like, where's the delete button?
It's like there's not a delete, there's not a big red delete button.
And it's like, oh, I've erased Facebook from my phone.
That doesn't help.
Yeah, it's like how if you just –
I heard it back later.
There was that one time where it was just nonstop for like half an hour
and her just going, oh, my God, what do I do next?
She was on a road trip and she pulled the car over by the side of the road
to sit by this phone and try and figure it out.
Anyway.
Why didn't we talk about that with her?
That's great.
Good stuff.
Patreon.
Thanks to everyone who subscribes to our patreon.com
slash littledumbdumbclub account.
And a lot of people do.
Thanks very much for that.
It's much appreciated.
In your heart of hearts,
you hopefully were just trying to
contribute to the show. But hey, look, there's nothing
wrong with doing it to get the free bonuses
off the back of it as well, which of course
is you get a bonus episode a month,
you get a bonus magazine
a month, both of which we put a lot of
love and care and time. Some
say too much, and by some, I mean me and
you. But you also
get the chance of having your name eventually
at some stage read out on your favourite little podcast,
not Nick Capper's podcast, our podcast right here.
We won't prank you.
So this is the time in the show where we randomly pick a number
to start with.
We put that in stone, whatever number that happens to be,
and then we read that amount of names out.
Usually I get to choose the number this time.
Tommy, you can do the honors.
Five.
Okay, easy.
Let's move on without any more comment on that.
Okay, let's start up the old unplanned title alternator.
Hit the big red button.
Fire it up.
And number one this week, thank you to Patreon subscriber
Alexander Anderson.
Oh, a bit of alliteration.
Well, we had Fiona on speaking of AA.
We've got Alexander Anderson.
How long did it take you to find that one?
I know.
That was not intended.
Obviously, it's unplanned and random.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Alexander Anderson.
Yeah, that's an interesting – yeah don't – yeah, I do not –
I don't like the alliteration in names.
I've said it before.
I'll say it again.
I don't like this name.
I don't – I'm going to venture out and say I don't like this person.
Fuck, nice.
I'm good to see – I'm glad to see you get on the front foot
and say something negative about someone.
I'm happy with that.
I'm happy for us to be negative about this person.
Would you – so if you thought of – you would never –
if you had a child, you would never give it the alliteration?
You would never go –
Absolutely not.
You'd never go Alexander Alsop or Dennis Daslow?
Dennis Daslow is not bad.
I've won you over.
It's funny when my dad meets people who don't know that Daslo isn't my real name
because his name's David.
Right.
So people think like, David Daslo.
Double Ds.
So what about if you had a kid and then you insisted and you got married
and you insisted that your wife take your name Daslo but you don't?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like You're still Tom Alsop.
We've talked about that before.
Have we?
That would be great.
That would be really good.
So would that mean, could you get your kid to then be called Julius Alsop Daslo?
You know what it needs to be?
I need to meet a girl.
Your kid's called Julius, by the way.
Your kid's called Julius.
How come?
I just thought that would be a good name.
Okay, that's not bad.
Julius should make a comeback.
It's been long enough since Caesar. It's time for it to come? I just thought that would be a good name. Okay, that's not bad. Julius should make a comeback. Yeah.
It's been long enough since Caesar.
Yeah.
It's time for it to come back into vogue.
Get that in and a couple of years later get Adolf back in.
Osama.
Yeah.
Always.
What I need to do is I need to find a woman with the last name Dasolo.
Right?
I marry her and then I take her name.
Right.
So it's like two things.
It's like now it's legit and also very progressive.
Yeah.
The man taking the lady's name.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
It's bad.
Why?
It's the worst.
It's just so bad.
Why?
I just hate it.
Who cares?
I hate it.
Why?
The guy taking the girl's last name.
Why?
It's so dumb.
Why is that any worse than the other way around?
Hey, I don't think that the other way around is any good either.
Yeah.
I think they are both stupid.
Yeah.
My wife has said, oh, do I take your name now?
She's asked me a couple of times.
I'm like, no, do what you want.
But if you're giving me a choice, I would say no.
I think it's weird.
And it's also – I think it comes down to, look,
if you're someone who you hate your last name
and you don't think it sounds good and you marry someone
with a ripper last name, I understand just going like,
well, this is a do-over.
Yeah.
Great.
Fine.
Go for it.
But also, I won't name her, but your wife's first name
combined with your last name.
Yeah.
Say it in your head.
Yeah.
It sounds fucked.
Yeah.
It doesn't, they, you know what I mean?
There's two, there's kind of similar sounds in there that run into each other.
It's just, nah.
I'm not into it.
I don't like you.
Yeah, it's fair.
That's fair.
We probably
shouldn't say this without him being here
but he said it to me
many times
but
there's some
girls out there
with last names
where you go
wow you
you should be one
of these people
that are busting
to get married
as soon as you can
just to get rid
of that last name
right
of which Josh Earle's
wife is one
oh yes
yes yes yes
where it's like
when I found out
her maiden name
I was like
she would have been she should have been on bended knee the first day
she met you.
Just like, let's lock this one away.
Let's get Earl on the back of my name.
Big time.
We can say it.
Can we?
All sop.
All sop.
I love any time on this where we talk about Dilruch, Josh or Cody
because they're the three people that listen most weeks.
Right.
So you know within a couple of days we'll get a message from them.
Right.
It's always fun talking shit about those three guys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are they the three that – they're the only three that really listen
every week I think of our friends.
Does Ballad – Ballad listens every week?
Oh, Ballad listens.
Yeah.
There's certain people that I send out the...
I think you'll
have a lot more
time to be
listening as of
next week.
I mean, Will
listens.
Will listens,
yep, yep, yep.
There's certain
people that I just
send out the
magazine and the
bonus sort of
stuff too because
I'm like, you
guys are genuine
listeners.
You'll be
interested in
this.
Blakey listens.
Yeah, Blakey,
yeah.
I think Kappa
listens, doesn't
Kappa listens
sometimes.
Yeah. We need to talk more shit about Will. Yeah. Because when weappa listens, doesn't he? Kappa listens sometimes. Yeah.
We need to talk more shit about Will.
Yeah.
Because when we talk shit, Will's the one where we talk shit about him
and then we get a tweet out of it.
We get some public attention out of it.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, but the other ones we get the shit on and it's like,
well, it's obvious, you know, this is what's wrong with him.
But with Will it's like, suck shit, the most successful comedian
in the country, you fuckhead.
It's not so much fun.
Yeah, but it's punching up.
That's us speaking truth to power.
That is not us.
That is not us.
Punching up is not our game.
That's very undumb dumb, I think.
Yeah, and then we pay out Will and then Will gets on Twitter
and does a bit of punching down where he's like,
these two idiots don't have a job.
That's it.
That's Will's thing on this show is punching way down.
Punching up is not a thing for us.
It's too hard.
There's too much energy punching up.
Feel that.
Feel that.
Fucking hell.
That's hard.
Yeah, you're right.
Down is just like your fist is already, it's natural.
If you let your fist just go, it just goes down straight away.
The natural position is already there.
So you just need to tilt forward slightly.
If you ever go to the gym and you're pushing something up,
it's like, that's fucking hard.
Don't do that.
Just down, down.
I think one of my all-time favourite memories of doing this show will be
when we used to do this bit up the top of the show
and we were debating for like two weeks, should we move it to the end?
And then you and I were walking through the city
and we were crossing the street and we crossed past Will.
He happened to be on the other side.
So it's like he can't stay and chat.
But it was like as we crossed him at the pedestrian crossing,
he just went, yeah, you should put it at the end.
And then you and I got over the other side of the street and went,
yeah, I reckon he's right.
Let's start doing it at the end.
Yeah, totally.
Someone randomly, someone I vaguely knew,
someone said to me the other day, oh oh let's do an episode of yours and fuck what the fuck was that half hour thing up the
front oh we don't do that anymore and the fact that they're all sitting there yeah for eternity
i need to look if i had more time i would go back and re-edit and re-upload them all and put the
start at the end yeah Yeah, totally. Totally.
What were we thinking?
We did it for so long.
I don't know.
Yeah.
It was something I regret.
Half an hour before the show started.
Yeah.
Why did we need to be told that that was a bad idea?
It's like, oh, yeah, this week we've got Will Anderson and John McAuliffe.
Anyway, for half an hour, here's a fucking big old roadblock that's going to make you
think at some stage,
well, those two aren't that good.
I don't really need to get to fucking listen through all this to get to that.
Fuck them.
And now this bit has flourished in its natural process.
Also, we're better at this bit now as well.
Yeah.
I think initially it was like we just read the name and said thanks.
It ballooned out of its own accord.
It wasn't, you know, we didn't plan for it.
Anyway, thanks, Alex.
Thanks, Alex.
Thanks, AA.
We can't quit you.
Thank you to Patreon subscribers.
Well, all right, here's one.
Here's something that I talked about a while back,
which I think is a canny idea that no one has sort of really taken advantage of.
But thank you to Patreon subscriber Comic Confidential.
Ah, yes.
Now, that is another podcast.
Yes, about comic books.
Yes.
Now, see, look, free ad.
Well, not free ad, but that's the cheapest ad you'll get.
$5 ad.
Yeah, that's the cheapest ad you'll ever get.
Like, I think I said that a while ago.
Didn't I?
Like, if you had half a brain, sponsor the show.
Like, support Patreon.
Just put, instead of your name, put your business name in there.
Fuck, you just got a nice little readout.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah.
So shout out Comic Confidential.
Yep.
Podcast about comic books.
So if that's your thing, I imagine there probably are a great deal of podcast listeners for whom that is their thing.
Yeah, I mean, if that's your thing, either listen to that or kill yourself either way.
Wow.
Those are the only two choices?
I reckon.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, if you're into comic books.
Yeah.
If you're into them, yeah, two great options.
But so what is it about this that you think makes it confidential?
Well, it's not very confidential when you're fucking getting your name read out, is it?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
So it's like public domain.
So we've gone from AA, Alcoholics Anonymous, to confidential.
To CC.
A lot of people that are trying to keep it on the down low but aren't doing a very good job of it.
AA and CC, you're right.
Is it comic confidential because you're ashamed of reading comic books
and you don't want it out there?
You should be.
Because Alcoholics Anonymous is like, hey, there's no judgment.
It's like you can just be honest.
So maybe this is a bit of the same thing.
Is this comic confidential?
Is this a group of people that maybe read comic books
and cut out all the secret identity bits out of it.
So it's like we don't want to know anything about Clark Kent
or anything like that.
We just want to see the superheroes.
Or it's like shameful.
We don't want to shine to their private lives.
Or it's like, you know, shameful comic book secrets where it's like,
hi, my name's Tommy and it's been 14 days since the last time I jerked off to Howard the Duck.
Right.
You know?
Yep.
Yes, I think that's it actually.
That's also true.
It's been two weeks since I did that.
Howard the Duck?
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
The movie or the comic book or?
Both.
Right.
What's so appealing about Howard the Duck?
It's a sexy duck.
It's a humanoid duck.
Okay.
No further questions.
All right.
Thanks, Comic Confidential.
Thanks, Comic Confidential.
You're a fucking bunch of nerds.
You're fucking nerds.
This is a 26 minutes so far.
I reckon we put this one up the top.
Thank you.
I feel good about this one.
This is a good ad for the rest of the show.
No.
Thank you to Patreon subscriber Michael Bonaventura.
Wow! Yeah.
Bonaventura.
Yep. Nice. What do you think
about that? Michael
Bonaventura pet detective. I was about
to say that. Is the next one
Bonaventura when nature calls?
Yeah. I wonder how many times he's copped that over the years. Yeah.
I wonder how many times he's copped that over the years.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let us know, Bonaventura.
Yeah.
Let us know how many times you've copped it and if it's okay for us to do it.
Let us know if it's not okay to make a joke like that or whether it's alrighty then.
Nice.
He's putting all this money in and saying,
somebody stop now or I'll run moving.
Liar, liar.
Nice.
Yep.
Thanks, Michael Bonaventura.
Thanks, Bonnie.
Thanks, BV.
Thank you to Patreon subscriber Andrew Connor.
Andrew Connor? Yeah subscriber Andrew Connor. Andrew Connor?
Yeah.
Andrew Connor.
That might be your first Arnie impersonation on the show.
Do you reckon Arnie impressions are due a comeback in comedy?
No. It's been the kind of like even people who don't do or see a lot of comedy,
they know that the arnie impression is a
bit hack but i reckon it's i don't know i reckon it's due for a renaissance i think you always go
too early on these terrible calls like sure you and you and buddy uh uh what do you like that
fucking shit movie um what's the mike myers movie austin powers yeah could you honestly not recall
what austin powers is because i hate it a few minutes? Yes. But a few people have pointed this out on Twitter.
I think on like ep three of this show, I'm like,
Austin Powers is going to make a comeback.
Yeah.
And everyone else in the room is like, you're out of your fucking mind.
Yeah.
Cut to like the last couple of years.
I've been proven right.
Do you count this as a comeback?
Like in what way has it come back?
In an ironic way.
In an ironic like kind of like, you know,
but just talking about it and referencing it and stuff.
Yeah.
It's back, baby.
But I could say that about anything.
You go, okay.
Go for it.
Nirvana.
I think Nirvana's due a comeback.
And then it's like 10 years later you go, I called it.
Okay.
Well, everything's going to come back eventually, isn't it?
Sure.
But I picked one of them and it happened.
All right.
Well, the earth's gonna end
Okay
Yeah
Great
Prove me wrong
Expect a call from me
When the comments are raining down
Yeah
My last
My dying moments on this earth
Great
I'll devote them to calling you and saying
Carl
Yep
You were right
I'm sorry
Good
And you're like
Yes
Good
Imagine having odds on that on Sportsbet
And it's like You're getting a big payout And you're like, yes. Good. Imagine having odds on that on Sportsbet and it's like you're getting a big payout
and you're just stoked.
Yeah.
As the fucking – as the giant media is about to shatter us, you're like, yes.
I'm getting a sweet eight grand.
Probably one of the main reasons you can't bet on suicide on Sportsbet.
Yeah.
One of the main.
What are some of the other main reasons?
What was the last thing you put a bet on?
You're a betting man.
No.
Right.
I put a bet on, I reckon it's the first time I've put a bet on anything
for probably five to ten years.
I put a bet on the Champions League final.
Oh, yeah.
That Liverpool lost to Real Madrid.
I put a bet on Liverpool winning and I lost my money.
See, I would think in that case, aren't you, because Liverpool are your team,
why wouldn't you put money on them losing so that that way if they win, great,
you're happy, but if they lose, you can comfort yourself
with a bit of sweet bunts.
I totally understand the thinking behind that, but the thinking behind what I did
was that I thought we were going to win. And I wanted to double up.
Have some money.
Yeah.
I thought with my knowledge of what was happening,
I thought we would have won.
We should go to the casino.
Sure.
Let's go have beers at the casino.
Yeah, I'm happy to do that.
I was watching a show called The Leftovers,
HBO series that I'm watching at the moment.
It's great.
And there's an episode where someone,
they need a lot of money.
This is a spoiler alert, but it's like
Ep 3, so it's not a huge plot point. But they
go to the casino
and they need to get a lot of money
very quickly. And they just go to the
roulette table with a heap of money
that they have. And again, if you
want to watch it, tune out for 10 seconds.
But they just keep
putting all this money on the same thing and just winning each time and just doubling it each time.
And there's part of me that's now in my head going like, that's just how the casino works.
If I go down, that'll just happen to me.
Do you know what I mean?
You see someone win big in a casino and you just think, well, that would be me.
Yeah.
Oh, I've got none of that.
I've got no compunction to gamble.
I just – I'm negative in terms of that stuff.
I just go, how can I ever win that thing?
I'm never interested.
I just see that sort of stuff and go, no, I'll lose that.
That wouldn't be me.
No.
I would never win one of those things.
See, the one and only time I've ever gone onto the casino floor in Melbourne
and put money on, I had a bit of a payday.
I came out with like 200 bucks up.
Oh.
Yeah.
And that's the only time I've ever – so in my head I'm like,
I've got the magic touch.
Right.
Well, I've got friends that have done that and then had horrible times
in their life after that because they just think this is how it works
from then on.
A friend of mine, we were just recently on a trip together,
two friends, and one of my friends is very good at,
we were splitting accommodation costs.
One of my friends is very good at just can get a number of like,
oh, it's been 500 bucks and just know, you know,
he's very good at just divvying up amounts immediately.
And my other friend said, wow, you're like the Rain Man of numbers.
I was like, no, that's literally just Rain Man.
You can't be like, you know, autistic but with words.
It's like, oh, that thing over there, that's called a dog.
Just knew it immediately.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Thanks, Andrew.
Thanks, Andy.
Okay, well, I'm under the restraint of this is the final one according to you.
It was my pick and I said five.
Okay.
So that's, you know, you gave me the choice.
You could have picked any number.
And you just have to accept that.
Yep.
Because it was my call this week.
Yep.
That's what I want to do.
Could have been anything.
All right.
So is this the last, is this five?
This is the fifth one.
Oh, this is the last one.
Okay, cool.
Yep.
The fifth one.
Yep.
Okay.
Time to hit that big red button one more time.
And thank you to Patreon and subscribe.
Oh, right.
Oh, okay.
Great.
That's funny. I was just about uh something like this before that's a strange coincidence that almost
never happens um we did the shout out to comic confidential someone else has actually uh
yeah put a business in oh another business oh business. Oh, that's cool. Right. Thank you to Patreon subscriber Coca-Cola Comedy.
Okay, right.
Yeah.
So is this like how they do like Coke Zero, they do Diet Coke.
I believe so.
Coke Classic.
Yes.
Clear Coke.
Yeah.
This is, I assume, a new line, Coca-Cola Comedy.
And now what pray tell, what would be there?
Because there's Coke Zero is like no sugar.
Yeah.
I presume this is like-
Cherry Coke, vanilla Coke.
A banana peel stuck in there maybe.
Right.
Yeah.
You take a sip and then you fart immediately.
Yeah.
Way too much gas in there.
To the delight of everyone around you.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's what it is.
It's just extra carbonated.
Extra funny stuff in there. It's like Ipecac, like. So that's what it is. It's just extra carbonated. Extra funny stuff in there.
It's like Ipecac, like that stuff that makes you sick.
So as soon as you take a sip, you just spew.
Mad magazine style.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some fish bones floating around.
Fish bones come out.
Yeah, your false teeth come out even though you don't have them.
Heaps of funny stuff happen.
Right, right.
Yeah.
Oh, interesting.
Coca-Cola comedy.
Right, interesting.
Yeah.
And it's just, so is Coca-Cola comedy, you know how like Coke kind of have that thing
where they've like co-opted the image of Santa Claus?
Yes.
Is Coke comedy like they've co-opted the image of Alfred E. Newman?
No, it's-
What, me, thirsty?
Rodney Rood.
Yeah.
Well, this sounds like a delicious drink.
Yeah, I mean, it's a shame that the Coca-Cola Amatil company only had $5 to spend on advertising for this product.
Oh, right.
They put in $5.
Hang on.
Let me check it.
Sorry.
My mistake.
That was someone else.
$69.
$69.
That is significantly more than…
Not to sound like a rain man of numbers over here, but that's $64 more than what you said.
Still not that much money for Coca-Cola.
I mean, they've gotten a steal.
Yeah.
Although, you know what?
That's a very canny marketing, I guess, manager.
Instead of, you know what?
Very easy to be in that job and go, here's a marketing budget.
Fucking put a billboard here, a billboard there.
Man, advertise on a podcast.
Yeah.
And not even proper advertising.
Sneak it into the Patreon.
Oh, I would love that.
So, yeah, we've said the call out of like get a business,
put your business name in, which a podcast has done this week.
What do you think is the biggest business we can get absolutely ripping us off
by subscribing to the Patreon and getting a free ad at it?
Not free ad, but a very, very cheap ad.
I don't think there's any – look.
That would be great if it's like thank you to sponsor rio tinto yeah someone who
works at like some massive company who's a fan who just runs it up the chain and the money has
to come through not from your personal account we have to get proof that it's from the company
account i would love for that to happen if if if anyone out there can finagle that yeah i would i
would love for that to happen yeah play this take this. Take this to your boss for as little as $5 a month
and have us absolutely pants around our ankles
getting absolutely taken advantage of in the advertising world.
By big name.
By big company.
Yeah.
Oh, look, I'm happy for it to be from Bonaventura's fucking plumbing services
or whatever as well.
Yeah, but a massive, massive conglomerate.
If anyone, if, you know, Ken at Shell Oil wants to give us a subscription.
Yeah.
Because let's be realistic.
It's not, I mean, it's not like, you know, we're being taken advantage of,
but it's not like we're missing out on anything.
It's not like, oh, if only we didn't have the Patreon,
they would have bought a proper ad on the show for 10 million dollars totally yeah so happy to be to get totally ripped off from
volkswagen or fucking whoever's out there someone someone there in accounting someone there in
marketing if you can somehow squeeze the smallest sponsorship out of your coffers that would be
endlessly entertaining for us we should do like a Super Bowl week episode of this show
where it's just a very lacklustre episode
but there's an ad break every 10 minutes
and we've just busted our ass to get some fucking big players on board.
Oh, look, I'm still keen for us to work on this idea
that we haven't worked on yet, which is the $1,000 podcast.
Oh, yeah, the Wu-Tang press it to vinyl and there's only one episode.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
Yeah.
Well, you know, we've got a relatively clean schedule for the end of the year.
Maybe that's something to focus on next.
Yeah, maybe.
I mean, I've got a lot of work to do.
Yeah, but, you know.
Okay.
