Of course I am.

everything that you've heard and read some Patreon

Will Anderson, Celia Bukola and Ron Funches.
Hey, mate.
Welcome once again into the Little Dum Dum Club for another week.
Thank you very much for joining us.
My name is Tommy Dasolo.
Standing next to me, the other half of the show, Carl Chandler.
G'day, dickheads.
Oh, man.
Thanks for coming, everyone, to our last live show in Melbourne.
Maybe ever.
I mean, we're going to be in Serbia in a week's time, so...
Definitely ever.
Or we'll be in Liverpool a couple of days before that,
and if they lose, you might kill me out of rage.
Yeah.
Suicide pact, of which you did not make the pact.
For fuck's sake, we've sold this out 20 times over,
and there's three empty seats right in front of me.
Great.
This is going to fucking shit me.
Someone parachute in there, please.
Do we have three people that want seats just in there?
Here we go. Here's one guy.
Someone that's gonna fit in them, please.
Someone...
Fuck.
Fuck.
Are you gonna
try and convert me to Mormonism?
You've got your backpack on. You're're jumping your backpack into these people's faces on the way in.
You're not on public transport now, buddy.
He's doing you a favour and you just turn on him immediately.
What do you want?
Have you met me before?
Yeah.
I'm still trying to get a handle on you.
Still trying to get an accurate read.
Alright, we've got them all filled up.
Round of applause for these guys.
From the Church of Dumb Cunt.
Thanks very much.
I love it.
This guy gets in and checks his watch immediately.
Is this over with?
I don't want to sit down for 50 minutes.
You could take the weight off.
God, I'm busting for a piss.
How much longer has this gone?
Might get out and go to the toilet now.
Wipe the backpack on. We are near'm busting for a piss. How much long has this gone? I might get out and go to the toilet now. Wipe the backpack on.
We are near the end of the comedy festival.
The other night, a guy came into my show
a little bit late and he sat down at the back
and then at the end he came up to me and he's like,
oh mate, that was great. That was a really
great show, even though I've got to be honest,
I was in the wrong show.
Hang on, hang on. Did he buy a ticket to you still though? He was just like, this is the wrong show. Hang on, hang on. Did he buy a ticket to you still, though?
He was just like, this is the wrong show.
I think they all thought that was a bit mean, Carl.
Yeah, well, it was led by a fucking Mormon man here.
But I go to him, so what show had you got a ticket for?
Like, what show did you think you were seeing?
And he goes, Sonia D'Orio.
And I go, fucking hell, mate.
And he goes, in my defence,
I missed the start when you said your name.
Oh, yeah?
No worries.
And, uh...
Look, this actually makes sense
if he was blind, but not deaf.
As me and Sonia both say,
Mamma Mia!
He was blind, but not deaf.
As me and Sonia both say,
Mamma Mia!
Fuck, that's great.
That's great.
So, we used... If you were here a couple of weeks ago,
as a birthday present,
someone gave me a stamp with AWARE on it,
and everyone here's got their little AWARE stamps on today, yeah?
Nice one, nice one.
Fucking hell.
Everyone put their hand up
because if you don't have it
I'm going to fucking kick you out now.
Yeah.
We're all good.
Mormon, I haven't seen your hand, mate.
Actually, it would be too much effort
to fucking kick you out, actually,
so you stay there.
No, I think you mean
because of where he's sitting, right?
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
How dare you turn on my friend like that?
I try to be nice once and that's how you treat me.
Nice-ish.
Speaking of being nice, last night if you were like me
and you were watching the Good Friday appeal on Channel 7,
yes?
How dare you not watch that?
Guys, you are killing children by not watching.
Don't turn on me, you did it.
So, as I was...
You were watching it as you were messaging me,
you're getting the double cancer experience, good stuff.
It's like VR, it's everywhere.
I was watching, I was like,
there's the Desiloe Ward, very nice.
Yeah.
So I was watching it and a like, there's the Dassault Ward. Very nice. So I was watching it
and a dear friend of ours of the show,
Dilraba Jai Singha,
was on the panel.
He was on the panel of,
talking on the panel.
And so as he was on there,
and it's obviously live,
I'm texting him going,
fuck, I didn't know you were going to be on this.
Give us a shout out
and I'll chuck some money in.
And then he goes,
all right.
Talking Good Friday. Yeah, nice.
And he goes, alright,
alright. And so then
he goes,
and I didn't have the audio of it,
but he then goes, okay,
yeah, it's a great thing that the hospital does
here. I mean, for example, you know, they
helped out my mate Daslo, who had cancer.
And then he hits me up and goes, there you go, you owe me money.
And I'm like, I'm not fucking paying money for that.
That's an ad for Daslo.
He can pay for that.
He can use his Make-A-Wish money to pay for that.
Yeah, the $3 I got from the laptop.
Yeah, that can go right into the skyrocket.
So then I hit him up and in the ad break I said,
no, I'm not happy with that, I'm not paying for that, try again.
I did wonder why we had two receipts from the children's hospital in our email account.
So then he said, and let's bump up the mic here, Julio, if we can.
Then he said this.
Yeah, it feels a little weird that two years later to win this new
popular new talent.
But I just, I think
a lot of things happened between like
the Sri Lankan community getting behind me,
the Little Dumb Dumb Club podcast, a lot of different
things got behind me.
Gotta share, and the downloads
have skyrocketed since then.
But I said I'd donate, and so, true to my word, I did.
That got on, I was very excited.
Immediately, the Royal Children's Hospital appeal got a donation
from Dumb Dumb Comedy.
Nice.
And how much did Dumb Dumb Comedy pay?
$69.
Very nice.
Very nice.
We did not get read out on the screen,
which I'm a little bit shitty about.
We should start going around the wards
with the Starlight Foundation and doing live podcasts.
That'd be fucking...
That really would be something.
Yeah, yeah, making the kids happy with their fate.
One little piece of business here.
Just before we got in here, before we started the show,
I think your parents have been coming every week, haven't they?
Yeah, they missed last week.
It's probably a blessing.
I'd love to have heard your dad's review of last week.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
I got a message from someone on the door.
Apparently, Damien Hegarty was here earlier today.
And he wanted to pass on, for people that don't fucking know, that's Daslo's dad.
It's his pen name.
His pen name.
His pen name.
And I got a message I got to pass on that, as a present, for me, from your dad, a message
that, it was a badge, it was a badge of ours, a little dumb numcob badge.
Yeah, right.
With the message, here's a badge I found in the shed.
Tommy had a bunch of badges that were sent by listeners ages ago.
I think they got chucked out.
Yeah.
So here's the remaining badge for you.
Yeah.
All very good.
Yeah.
Apart from the way he delivered it.
He gave it to me.
Stuck to a lollipop.
No, that's why they got thrown out.
Because they were sent to us in a bag
of lollipops and then when I moved
house my parents had a bunch of my stuff
and then they went, oh there's rats in the bag of lollipops.
So we've had to throw out all the badges as well.
Because I thought that was
overly suggestive of your dad.
Is this part of the script for his new porno?
Right, so this is him just transitioning full time
into the pornography thing.
Yeah, yeah, very nice.
Do you want to give it a try?
Give it a suck, Carl.
No.
Oh, yeah.
No worries.
The lollipops had rats over them.
Why don't you put them in your mouth?
Come on, commit.
You brought it out.
Come on. Suck the lollipop. Suck the lollipops that had rats over them. Why don't you put them in your mouth? Come on, commit. You brought it out. Come on.
Suck the lollipop.
Suck the lollipop.
I'm not getting the black death for you.
Then we could call in for you on the Good Friday Appeal next week.
Next year.
That's great, sneaking into the Good Friday Appeal
with just like a 43-year-old man pretending to be a child
to get some sweet money from viewers.
Well, we beg for it every week on this show.
Why not?
It's not too far removed, is it?
What else?
Oh, so, Coaster Movie's coming up.
Who's coming to Coaster Movie?
Some of you are flying.
I've seen the figures, so...
No, it's going good.
I just...
One of the listeners here was just telling me last night...
Not last night, upstairs.
I forgot time and location.
Mix those up.
You know, you were up
there last night, weren't you? Just before?
You know, in the past.
24 hours ago. What don't
you get out of this? Hey mate,
here's a history lesson for you.
How long ago was that?
So,
this is the third one we're doing in Koh Samui, obviously.
There's a couple of three times that have been.
Now, someone that was there the first time,
two, like a couple got together in Samui
and, like, you know, got together and, you know,
you know how it works.
Wait, I don't.
Talk us through it.
And use the lollipop.
Oh, and little rats get together in a bag.
They give birth to content, yeah.
So, a couple met together
at the first Koh Samui podcast festival.
They're now getting married
and they're honeymooning in Koh Samui.
No one's into it.
Everyone's just disgusted.
But not in June for the festival.
They're not coming, so fuck them.
Yeah.
Are you saying you hope that the marriage doesn't work out
as a result of that?
No, I wouldn't go that far.
They're getting married in Samui.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, is that what I said? I said honeymoon in Samui. Yeah. Oh, they're getting married and they're having the honeymoon in Samui? Yeah. Okay. Is that what I said?
I said honeymoon in Samui?
Yeah.
Oh, they're getting married and they're having a honeymoon in Samui?
Yeah.
Okay, great.
This is another upstairs last night situation.
Thanks to the little paperclip for jumping up there in the bottom.
Well, it's nice to hear about other people being, you know, happily in love and whatever.
I matched with a girl on a dating app just before the comedy festival.
I love when you talk about your romantic life.
I know.
I matched with a girl on an app and we got talking and I mentioned, like, doing comedy and then I said I had a show in the comedy festival and she goes
okay, well this is like right before the comedy
festival started. She goes, alright, well
you know what I'm going to do. I'm going to go come and see
your show and if I like what I see
then I'll message you back on here.
Oh, wow. Anyway, last I heard from her
so...
Woo!
Well, isn't your show this year about being depressed
and wanting to kill yourself or something, to be fair?
Oh, look, in so many words, yes.
20 minutes of it is about that.
If that's your version of foreplay,
fuck, I'm shocked by that result.
I do say if I don't get the suck at the end of this festival,
I will kill myself.
So, balls in her court.
Hey, there's two more nights. There's two more nights. I'm holding out
hope. To be fair, would you have
gone out with her if she got to the end of your show
of you for 50 minutes going, I want to
kill myself, and then she messaged you going, I am
so wet right now.
100%.
That's something for the content machine right there.
That's great stuff. Oh, I won't have to talk about your fucking dad's lollipops anymore right there. That's great stuff.
Oh, I won't have to talk about your fucking dad's lollipops anymore if we've got shit like that.
I'm back on board.
All right, all right.
That's all the bullshit up front.
Should we set up this thing?
We've got some awesome fucking guests out here tonight,
this afternoon, upstairs, whatever.
Four weeks ago.
Should we set this up quickly, this little thing that we've got for today.
Oh, yeah.
This visual aid.
Do you want to get a guest on and then do it?
Oh, yeah, okay.
Do you know where you are?
Yeah, yeah.
I've got my notes.
I can't remember what you were doing.
So people always ask us when we do these runs at the comedy festival,
people always go, like, who was your favourite guest?
Who was the best on it?
And, you know, of course we'll talk about it afterwards, like,
to ourselves. We've never really formalised it anyway,
have we? No, no, no. We never know exactly
what to say at the end of those sort of conversations. Yeah.
Until now. Yeah, so we've formalised it for
this year. We've got the official
2019 Dum Dum Club
leaderboard.
Just one step closer to this podcast
fully morphing into Top Gear.
In that... Just Top Gear without cars.
What a show.
A lot of people find it quite boring and the hosts have some very, very dodgy ideas.
So this is where we're at.
This was our consensus.
Obviously, the great man, Paul Foote, a return to form last week.
Like last week.
Number one.
Like last week, crowd surfing all over the top
of everyone else.
Denise Scott at number two.
Just because she was so hard to book
and fuck, I'm trying to get it back in the next decade.
Nazeem Hussain right down the bottom.
For the crime of wearing shorts on the podcast.
He was up the top
but he lost at least seven places
because of that.
Nick Capper
down the bottom
because
it would be weird
to put him
anywhere else
really
because we started
the list
as an odour list
and so we just
left him there
yeah
before he was on
you knew
the difference
between upstairs
and last night
and the stench
kind of
killed some brain cells
look at that
they like Capper now
what have we done
so should we we don't need to go through all of that yeah yeah we don't need to go through all of them but we will do you want to just Killed some brain cells. Look at that. They like Kappa now. What have we done?
We don't need to go through all of that.
Yeah, we don't need to go through all of them,
but we will.
Do you want to just put it sitting next to the stage?
And then we can live update it during the show.
Yeah, so we've got... I mean, yeah, for the next three,
we can see where people fit in.
Yeah.
Keep the guests on their toes.
You decide with your laughter.
So, yeah. Democracy in action. All Alright, let's get a guest out here.
Folks, please welcome back into the little
Dundum Club, Will Anderson!
Hello.
It's nice to be here
as the only Patreon subscriber on the panel tonight.
Fuck.
Get him above Paul Foote.
That's great stuff.
You are to this as I am to the Royal Children's Hospital appeal.
Like, you're treating us like that.
You know what I loved about that the most?
Because one of the reasons I do subscribe is for your references that make me feel like I'm up to date on stuff.
Because you're younger than me, but your references are from me feel like I'm up to date on stuff. Because you're younger than me,
but your references are from a decade before
even any of my references.
Like, I live for Anoli's trolleys.
It gives me fucking strength
when you drop that shit.
And when you got a round of applause
by bringing up the paperclip guy,
I was like,
oh,
I feel so relevant all of a sudden.
It's okay.
Carl's out there on his little podcast talking about the Black Death.
What, is that not still around or what?
You would have liked a bit of California games last week.
I was talking about that.
That was good.
It's the best.
Thanks for being on.
No, thank you. Oh, by the way,
I might, actually,
you know what, I'll wait until one of the other guests comes out because
we all just experienced something backstage,
which was one of the, anyway, this is a bit of a teaser
for coming up.
In the Little Dum Dum Club.
Right, right, right. Wow, that's a good teaser. I might have to put it in the little dum-dum club wow
that's a good teaser
I might have to
put you in the middle
already
so Will
already better
than Cam James
nice one
no he was good
list five things
you like about
Cam James
he used to work
with Becky Lucas
he used to
alright has he not found out yet You used to work with Becky Lucas. I used to.
Has he not found out yet?
Scoop. Hot scoop.
Will, you do Breakfast on Triple M.
I do. Thank you for bringing that up.
I try to keep my worlds separated.
I bring it up because I'm interested to hear your... They don't want to know about this.
These guys don't want to know about that.
So we're your side piece, is what you're saying.
Yeah, we can keep doing this, but...
Alright, Clark, we won't mention
the guy in tights that flies.
You know what I mean? I'm paying you
a little a month just to...
Oh, that's hush money.
Yeah. Right, right, right.
They pay me a lot, I pay you a little, we have an arrangement. The world is how it's hush money. Yeah. Right, right, right. They pay me a lot. I pay you a little.
We have an arrangement.
The world is how it's meant to be.
Yeah, Will's Patreon money just is in a little envelope on the dresser at the end of the month.
With a moisture layer.
I just leave it and go, they've done it again.
He listens!
How many orgasms did you get for that?
Five.
Always five.
This week, sure.
So I heard a story, and I'm interested in your version of these events,
where my friend's little brother works in a triple M But so I heard a story, and I'm interested in your version of these events, where...
So my friend's little brother works in a triple M behind the coffee cart that you have in studio.
He doesn't listen, but my friend found out about that and then gave him a bunch of references from the podcast to come in and read out one day.
Yeah, okay.
So in my day job, I do breakfast radio,
and we have a barista from the Café St Ali,
which is like the best café in Melbourne,
in our studio just making us fresh coffees while we do our job.
Sounds almost as good as Oporto.
So anyway, some people are like, how do you sleep at night?
I'm like, yeah, I wake up well, though, with those fresh coffees.
But no, yes, so he came in. Can you mention his name? Harry. Harry, no. With those fresh coffees. But no, yes, so he came in.
Can we mention his name?
Harry.
Harry, yeah.
So Harry came in.
He was one of our baristas one morning,
and he walked up to me.
And so this is like, I guess, five,
he must have got there about like 6.10.
So it's like 6.10 in the morning.
Like it's quite a lonely office at that point in time, he's quite a good looking, long haired, you know
young hipstery sort of cat and he's
just wandering through the Triple M office so you're like
well, he must be the barista.
He's a real Tommy Dasolo type.
Oh my god, is that how you see yourself?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That mental image
of me is the only thing keeping me going at this point.
That's his aim to one day have a job.
Yeah, that's why I brought this up.
Is the coffee cart in there hiring?
Well, he actually reminded me of you guys,
because didn't you guys also used to sneak into that studio?
But we didn't get paid as well as the coffee guy.
So he's come in, and so I'm the first person that he sees,
and I kind of get that it's probably who he is,
and I swear, without him ever saying hello,
he just looks at me and goes,
I'm aware.
Wasn't what I was seeing coming at that time of the morning.
It's great.
Because he doesn't listen.
It's just his brother who listens to his game
and feedlines.
His brother told him
to be aware
but he's not actually
aware himself.
That would be better
if everyone who doesn't
listen to this show
comes up to you
and goes,
I'm unaware.
Of what?
I don't know.
That's literally
what unaware means.
What I love though
is that I gave his brother
and him some free tickets to my show the other day,
and then I went into Sonali to get a coffee the other day,
and he said he'd really like the show,
and he was going to start listening to my podcast.
Finally, you get a break.
Yeah.
Sounds like he actually is aware.
He gets it pretty well.
All right, we don't have heaps of time,
so let's get our second guest out here.
Let's get our second guest out here.
Folks, please welcome back into the little dum-dum club,
Celia Bacuola!
Hello.
I am aware, but it's been a while.
I have not been here since Dil was fat.
That's BC before calories.
I don't know.
What is...
I don't know any of the...
Is Rad Dad still going?
Yeah.
Is it?
It's limping along.
Is it him?
The same as it was.
It's an extended hiatus.
Now that I am actually a dad,
there's no Rad Dad, basically.
Let's hope you fucking invest more in your child
than you did in Rad Dad.
Just picking what school it goes to
the morning of its first day.
Enrolment form's done at like 8.30
before it starts.
Celia, we were standing backstage waiting to come on.
Moments ago, yes.
And then some random stranger who was coming down the stairs
did one of the craziest things that I've ever experienced in my entire life.
And you were there to witness it.
I did, it was real.
I thought we should talk about it.
Yeah, so basically a guy just tried to mock a group
of people laughing. So you
laughed and he walked past the sound of
you all laughing and went,
A random
stranger walking downstairs.
You all fucking enjoyed
something and he was so triggered
by that that he leaned into
the room and just went
That's amazing. It was insane.
Why can't he do that
to our comedy festival show?
On his way downstairs
you mean to tomorrow night?
Well time is linear
Tommy and we just experienced
it. It's actually all happening at once.
It's really, really good.
Well, he obviously hates love.
What happened to him?
Like something happened.
He just hated it.
He hated the room of people laughing.
It was, though.
It was, wasn't it?
You cunts got roasted.
You got so roasted.
Yeah.
Celia, you are going to Koh Samui in June 11 to 16.
Celia, you went there to Costa Mui in June 11 to 16, Celia you
went there very
recently, I did
and can I say it's the best interaction I've ever had
with you pal
it's about Costa Mui, like you turn into
a completely different person, you're so
kind and generous, you're like
I've got so much to tell you, I just want
to help you, message me every second
I went on a romantic getaway and he's like continually going,
where are you now? What are you eating?
How much did it cost? And it was
fucking, it was really great. I had a
lovely time. I did wonder whether you
got that vibe off me, but yeah.
Yeah, I was. Is that why you went?
No, I
was excited. I mean, I've never done anything like that, but
the whole time I was just freaking
out that wherever I was was where the fucking, I've never done anything like that, but the whole time I was just freaking out that wherever I was
was where the fucking live streaming camera was.
Carl.
I was just waiting for you to get a message
going, nice bikini.
I'm like, fuck.
He did go looking for it.
I'm proud of that.
Did you?
I don't know where it is.
There's one on the business.
Did you see me?
There's a heaps.
I didn't see you.
No, I was trying to direct you towards it,
but you wouldn't go there. I did. I had a see you. No, I was trying to direct you towards it, but you wouldn't go there.
I did.
I had a great time.
I really did.
I really had a good time,
but I went in like rainy season.
What were your top five favourite things?
That's a weird response to a regular...
Yes.
Okay.
It's a thing.
It's a thing.
Oh, well, obviously you don't subscribe
to our Patreon
but no I did
I was hitting you up
I was trying to live
my life through you
it was great
I was like
there was a point
where I'd sent you
a bunch of messages
and then you just
went offline
for like a day
I'm like I think
I get it
what was your
favourite thing
you did
what did I do
we did nothing
we drank a lot of beer
and swam
some was that the ideal combo of beer and swam.
Some was that.
The ideal combo, drink beer and then swim.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. How did you feel about the food?
The food was great.
We went to one.
There's dogs everywhere.
Okay, you've got four of the fives.
The scariest, the worst part was that I was not especially, was the cats.
So the worst part was, because I love cats.
Well, that's why they didn't make the fives.
I love cats and I saw a cat.
I was like, ooh like oh cat and then turned
to coralie i was like ah demon cats from hell like half dead demon cat alley i went down oh
like that was your recommendation no no no so is there really a list of the top five things of
beer swimming son we put him on the spot one week on the pod and said what are your
five favorite things about thailand And it took honestly nearly an hour for me to get
to get to like
the beach. The sun's out.
It turns out that all five of them
are in St Kilda. Do you know what was the saddest though?
Is the really
overweight, super white dudes
getting massages from young, beautiful
women. Hey, no offence guys.
That's our people.
Like we only went into town, so we didn't go, we just
stayed, I think there was one time we went in and it was
just, the beach was just like
just burnt, just super
burnt, white guys
getting rubbed.
And I just went, oh,
my heart.
What podcast was on the beach that day?
But you did...
But, yeah, so you are busy this...
I did try and get you to come this June,
but you are busy.
You're doing a play or something.
Yeah, I'm doing a play.
Yeah.
Which I imagine would be exactly like a podcast festival in Cosey Valley.
Yeah, yeah.
It is funny.
So we did have a bunch of people that, you know,
Will's busy and doesn't probably want to go.
But, um...
He'd be so busy.
I can't imagine... Yeah, but I would actually love to go. Yeah'd be so busy. I can't imagine.
Yeah, but I would actually love to go.
You know, I would love...
No, I wouldn't stay where you fuckers are.
You'd be choppin' in every day from here.
Don't get me wrong.
But I'd like some interaction with you.
Just like this bit on stage and then that's it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
I would love to come.
Every year I've listened and I thought, you know, that would be, like, amazing to be able to do it. But, no, no. I would love to come. Every year I've listened and I thought that would
be amazing to be able to do it.
But I actually literally just can't come.
It's when I have the radio and they won't
let me take a week off my high-paying
job that has a barista in the studio.
To go to Buoy for your
fucking nonsense.
So I saw, so we did
try people like you guys
and I ran into Andy Lee in the street,
and he goes,
oh, you're doing that Thailand thing still?
And I was like, yeah.
And he goes, oh, yeah.
I said to Hamish, let's go.
And then he goes, nah.
Hamish.
Oh, yeah, Hamish.
Good point.
Let's put him down the list.
Yeah, let's move him down.
Right down the bottom now.
It's got to be, yeah.
Fuck, he was above Will.
Fucking hell.
Will gives us money.
What the fuck are we thinking?
Yeah.
Yeah, take that, Hamish.
Hamish is worse than shorts on stage.
Wow.
I mean, because imagine.
Like, imagine how popular...
Shorts on stage.
Did he have his toes out as well as shorts on on stage Did he have his toes out
As well
As shorts on stage
Did he have his toes out
Was he wearing thongs
No he had shoes on
He had sneakers on
He'd come straight from the gym
Is that a thing for you
Is that a
Yeah toes out
Unacceptable on stage
If it was shorts and toes out
Yeah yeah for sure
Put it on the bottom
Great alright
Alright let's
We've got a lot to get through
Let's get our next guest out here
Alright let's get our next guest out here
Folks we met this guy in LA
a few years ago. You would have seen him on Conan all over the TV.
He's awesome. Please welcome into the little
Dunlop Club, Ron Funches!
Ron Funches!
Hello. Hi.
Any questions?
Yeah, this is not very comfortable for me.
It seems like I'm in the middle of a family reunion.
Do we all look the same to you?
Thanks for coming down, Ron.
I hit you up.
We did meet you in LA a few years ago.
We did a gig with you.
You said yes to doing this when I messaged you,
even though I strongly suspect that you have absolutely no memory of us whatsoever.
I slightly remembered you,
and I was like, that's just a fun name,
so I'll do whatever he wants.
Oh, my God, this is the
first time the name has worked out for you.
Wow.
I think maybe he thought it was Sonia Di Iorio
but anyway.
Thank you for coming. You said that you would come
down as long as we could facilitate
the fact that it's 4.20 today.
Yeah, well I guess it's not here.
You guys do it in reverse so it's not it's 24.20 today. Yeah, well, I guess it's not here. You guys do it in reverse, so it's not.
It's 24.
Yeah, right, right.
So that doesn't make sense.
So 20th of April, 4.20.
So in terms of facilitate, what does that mean?
What have we got to do?
Well, I had to...
Go on, and you're on the record, Tommy.
And also, I'd like some tips.
Go on.
Describe it in every detail.
Procure something.
Yes, go on.
Which I'm not particularly versed in.
Right.
So I had to hit up a listener of this.
Oh, really?
Who hooked you up.
Oh.
And yeah, anyway, that's a man who was in rehab not long ago, so.
Oh. Good on you, mate.
I'm happy I can help you backslide.
But also, if you were in rehab recently,
maybe you're not using drugs anymore,
but you still like to catch up with your drug dealer.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you shouldn't turn your back on your friends.
There's a lot of conversations about the X-Files with that, too.
I love that.
You're off to rehab, you visit your drug dealer
right before you have a teary conversation
where you're like, this doesn't change anything.
So sorry that you just put your kids in private schools.
We were talking about you pulling a bong on stage.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've never...
Is that the dealer? Yeah. I've never pulling a bong on stage. Yeah. Yeah, I've never...
Is that the dealer?
Yeah.
I've never pulled a bong before.
I've never ripped a bong.
I can tell.
Even though your shirt says otherwise.
Which reminds me, Tommy's dad is here today
and he's basically wearing the same shirt as Tommy
which makes it look like a before and after booper ad
but Tommy's dad is the healthier version.
Tommy's dad's looking at you going,
fuck, I've got to increase my insurance.
But yeah, I don't know should I
we were talking about
maybe doing it for the drunk ass tomorrow
me pulling a bong live on stage
of course the people behind the bar
we don't mean that
be like in the movies
yeah yeah exactly
yeah yeah
we'll get out
pulling a bong ripping a bong,
smoking a big fat doobie.
Yeah, brother.
You guys are going to make me
quit.
Doesn't seem cool anymore.
This is not a
podcast. This is an intervention.
They said this would
be the most effective way. Alright, alright. Let is an intervention. They said this would be the most effective way.
Alright, alright.
Let's do this.
Alright, now
sometimes we get on guests and we
say someone's coming on and then
we pretend it's real and then they
walk on and it's a little bit of a joke.
But
this next guest is
real. Oh, nobody's going to believe you now.
This bit is real.
So when...
I know sometimes we go,
guess what, who's walking on now?
George Washington, and it's not him.
Is that the current president?
Is that...
But we're going to do an introduction here now,
and this is going to be real.
So, now...
I love the world you live in,
where you have to paddle so hard
to convince people you're telling the truth.
So...
Just once, it's going to be real.
So, we have a lot of stuff coming up. We're going to go to... Like, you know, this time next week, we's going to be real. So, we have a lot of stuff coming up.
We're going to go to, like, you know, this time next week we're going to be in Liverpool.
Bullshit!
So then we're going to be in, we're going to Serbia, which is extremely frightening to me.
Prove it!
Don't say that, he'll appear!
So, this really is like KAC.
Yeah.
I can't wait for Ron's report of Australia
when he gets home just based on this.
Yeah, I thought it was backwards and now I know.
Yeah, the toilets go backwards and so does comedy.
So. So. So, we're worried about the stuff that's coming up in the future.
Serbia, Liverpool, even Koh Samui.
So, we want to get a little bit of assurance.
We want to know actually what's coming up for us, what's going to happen. And so we have legitimately employed a medium, a psychic for this show. And this is no shit, so please, it's not going
to be Ben Russell in a dress, alright guys? I'm trying to get that through you. I know
you're still thinking, he didn't say Greg Larson, though,
but it's none of those people.
This is a real person with real feelings and abilities.
All right, guys?
So...
OK, guys, now I'm going to read out the real name.
Wink, wink.
This is real, so this is genuinely exciting and intriguing.
This is not a Hey Hey Saturday character. This is not Dickie Nee. This is not a Hey Hey Saturday character.
This is not Dickie Nee.
This is a real thing.
All right.
So please welcome, we have a psychic trance medium.
Her name is, this is interesting, Diane Helen Edwards.
Thank you. Thank you, Diane.
Thank you.
Interesting name.
I thought I told you to not say it.
His wife's name is Diane. Don't shut up!
Sorry.
His wife's name's Diane and he doesn't like it when you say his wife's name. His last's name's Diane
and he doesn't like it when you say his wife's name.
His last name is Diane?
No, his wife's name.
His wife's name?
Although he should change his last name to his wife's name.
Sorry.
So, thank you for coming on.
This is a real thing.
You're fully qualified
it's all real
and thank you so much
for making time for us
we're saying real
I just realised
now I'm trying to convince you
you're real
she knows mate
so
thank you for coming on
now we just have a few questions
we're a bit worried
like I said about what we're doing.
We're, in a week's time, we are going to Serbia,
which we're especially frightened by.
We're going to Serbia.
We don't have any fans in Serbia.
For some reason, we're putting on a show.
And we're going to Serbia to meet up with Serbia's most wanted criminal,
who's killed many people through alcoholic consumption
called Milan.
Now, we are genuinely
worried about our future.
What do you see for us?
Is it, I mean,
are we going to survive?
Is it going to be a positive
or a negative time?
I think it's going to be
a disaster.
I could have told you guys that.
I'm starting to feel I might be psychic too.
My question is, and I'm sure the audience have the same question,
why Serbia?
When there's the Caribbean, there's calm,
I mean, there's some very nice...
Just tell us how we're going to go.
Sorry, you didn't read out her full description.
She's a psychic and or travel agent.
LAUGHTER didn't read out her full descriptions. He's a psychic and or travel agent.
You're right.
I think it's the baggage in your future.
So you don't get a positive aura about...
Do I say aura? Is that a
term that you use? I don't know how it works.
I do.
I mean seriously.
Humour is
healing. So wherever
you go, you
actually...
Hang on, hang on. I hear
a sound from beyond the grave
I believe.
Wherever you go, you're either smashing
glasses or healing.
Right.
You're in a very good field.
Sorry, I'm just seeing into the future and the listeners at home are saying,
can you please put the mic to your mouth?
I don't put the mic to the mouth to make them listen harder.
Right.
Yeah.
That's a skill set.
Yeah.
You fucking take that.
So you think that because laughter is healing
that we, by doing the show in Serbia,
we're going to be what will make people's lives better
through doing the show?
Yes.
Yet not our own.
Not our own.
Yeah.
Sorry, I didn't quite comprehend what you were saying.
Tommy was saying that the audience's lives will be healed,
but our own lives may not be.
No, when you heal someone else, you also heal yourself.
Oh, okay.
So it's going to be a good trip.
You're welcome, guys.
You're fixed.
So there'll be an extra
surcharge tonight for
healing.
Diane is fucking killing up here.
Put her on the board.
But of course...
Invite her to the drunk cast.
Do you know, so we
had a psychic pull out on us this morning.
Yes. Probably for a reason.
You're so bad.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
This might be Ben Russell in a dress actually.
Oh no, Ben Russell's characters are never this funny.
So, I...
I love Ben Russell's characters are never this funny. I love Ben Russell.
It's just, when the joke's there, you've got to take the joke.
But, no, here's what I love the most,
was earlier I was like, I know what this is,
and I was hoping that this would not be a bad experience,
and I was like, no, it's okay, she's like psychic,
she'd know if it was a bad experience.
And now I've decided why you're killing, because you fucking knew you were going to kill.
So that's it.
So when I was contacting you,
I actually, no offence,
but I put out about 20 messages
and you responded and it was great.
This has ended up great.
But a bunch of people got back to me and said,
no, I can't do it, but what's it for?
And I was like, you should fucking know.
They said we do and we've got a bad feeling.
All right, so Serbia, we've got a read on that.
Now, we are going to Liverpool for that,
because for the specific reason
I've been for Liverpool Football Club for 30 years.
We haven't won, coincidentally, a championship in 30 years.
So we are going to watch them next Friday night.
We must win tomorrow night.
We must win next Friday night.
How do you feel like we're going to be happy?
I'm going to be happy in a week's time.
Am I still going to be positive in a week's time?
Don't say anything.
Actually, I retract that question.
Because she's having a hard time
because the question was a bit weird
because it implied that you're positive now.
Hey, talk to Celia when she's in Samui.
So you're not getting a good vibe from that?
Are you just trying to play some bets right now?
Yeah, I'm confused.
Is the question, are you going to have a good time in Liverpool,
or is the question, are Liverpool going to win Sam's sport?
Are they going to win, yeah.
Surely.
Do you take cocaine?
Do you take cocaine?
Fucking hell, what a nightmare that would be.
Are you the one that fixed up Ron before?
Can you imagine him more confident?
I mean, he's doing well, but the podcast is not doing that well.
What makes you say that?
Do you think he'll... Well, I think he'll need it.
Oh!
Right.
Well, that's okay.
You'll be in the UK.
It's heaps cheaper.
Okay.
All right.
Great.
All right.
Question.
I get it.
Right.
Do you think I'm going to...
Because I'm not really into the soccer.
I'm going with him.
I'm happy to be part of the experience.
Do you think I'm going to have a good time?
Do you think I'll fit in?
Yes, absolutely.
Because I think you can relate to the audience,
around to the people watching.
I've always said that, yeah.
It's just like going to the MCG here.
When I go to the football...
Is this a travel agent thing kicking in?
What's the MCG?
That's great to know.
I'm going to have a good time. That's cool.
You're saying I'm good
at relating to the people around me so I should
just get involved with the crowd.
Just be tapping people on the shoulder.
What do you think of that?
Crowd psychology is
very fascinating. Interesting.
Really. I mean, quite seriously.
It is. So you
can get involved with that. Okay. And while
he's taking the cocaine...
Yeah. I'm just there revving
everyone else up. Giving everyone a natural
high. By the way, if you take cocaine,
I will up my Patreon. I everyone a natural high. By the way, if you take cocaine, I will up my Patreon.
I'll cover the cocaine.
Come on, you subscribe to
Pablo Comedy. Nice.
Alright. Alright, great.
Alright. So, what about
this? On a more personal level.
A couple of years ago, Tommy's
girlfriend left.
Will she be back?
Probably not.
I think she's married to a billionaire now.
Oh, wow.
Oh, congratulations, Will.
Mate, I am not a billionaire.
As you know, I'm a willionaire.
I was going to go for triple M millionaire.
Yeah, okay.
Both good drafts.
Don't think either is the line we should use in the show.
No, I regret it.
We both had a crack.
Ron, you got a...
I was just going to make fun of Tommy.
I was like, yeah, you know, she's not coming back.
Yeah.
Fuck, he's cracked the code.
I mean, while Di's here, I know that Celia...
Yeah, please don't hog her.
Please.
I know that we're paying for the hour,
so you might as well get into it.
Celia's a... you're actually a big fan
I've seen psychics
I used to see psychics all the time
because I'm a big fan of wasting money and being judged by my friends
No, no
We're talking about this
I love it, but I stopped
because it was maybe five years ago
I saw a palm reader who told me that I can't have kids
And you did have children
No Five years ago, I saw a palm reader who told me that I can't have kids. And you did have children. No.
Oh, okay.
I owe him an apology email.
Somewhere right now, a palm reader is listening to a podcast
and feeling a little warm feeling.
Yes.
No, no, no.
I used to go all the time.
I don't have any specific, but I wonder if there's anything that you feel that we should know.
Oh, a general question.
No, rather than a specific question.
I think, is there a general...
Do you feel like there's any success in TV and radio
coming from Tommy and I coming up?
Hang on, I should stand over here so it doesn't just start.
LAUGHTER over here so it doesn't disturb you.
You know, is there a particular... I think... Does Will work for 3 Triple M?
She's good.
Yeah, well, I think they're going down the drain.
So I don't think...
LAUGHTER
Wow.
What a way to find out.
Yeah. Anything for me?
What about Corinne?
What?
Corinne?
Did I say Corinne?
Yes, you did.
That's like calling your mum, your teacher mum.
This is not the glass house and we are not Hughes.
I may be having a stroke.
Will.
Is he having a stroke?
He's having a stroke of butt.
I have no problem with that.
Corinne's like a lawyer now.
She's killing it.
Well, actually, it was because I was messaging her on the way here.
And we all look the same.
I get it.
I'm aware, as a woman, I'm here to represent the female here. And we all look the same. I get it. I'm aware, as a woman,
I'm here to represent the female listener.
How is she doing?
How dare you?
There's like two of them.
One's in her 90s, though.
Anything from...
Oh, I'm so scared.
I think I can say something positive.
Excellent.
Fuck.
And real.
Yes, I've tried cocaine.
Positive and real.
I can see you all
in a film.
I suggest
that the whole squad
write, no seriously,
write a script
and present it
because I think it could be an international Yeah. Okay. Write a script. Yeah. And present it.
Because I think it could be an international success.
This is the first time I've doubted you.
I'm very, very serious about this.
Diane, I have to ask you a question.
Yes.
Have you tried cocaine? Don't listen to her, Diane.
Crazy Rich Asians 2.
Yay!
So the five of us, we write
a screenplay together and then we're all in it?
Don't put me in this.
No, you're in it.
It's not me, it's her.
I guess you do.
Yeah, if you don't, yeah.
It's just nobody wants it if it's all you white people.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Gotta have one black person.
But not more than that.
All of you obviously are writers
because you must write scripts from time to time.
Thank you, Tick.
There you go.
She's good.
I think that you could produce it.
Okay, are you getting any good feelings
about a particular topic
or a zone that the movie should be about
just to give us a kickstart?
Is there a particular rad dad that you're imagining?
Is there any sort of country
that we could be basing this in in Southeast Asia
or anything like that?
Are you feeling anything towards...
Are you imagining a bull of some kind?
Are you seeing a picture of a bull
that just feels full in a way that...
Yeah.
You don't really know what's inside it,
but the bull just feels full.
Raging bull too.
Right, right, right.
I don't know what 3M or whatever it is is paying you in,
but I feel it's drugs.
You just think all the kids are on drugs these days.
Is that what's happening?
Yet you're the one with the top that implies that yourself.
He nailed you.
What I also loved about that was I was like,
hey, you can't just accuse a complete stranger
of being on drugs.
And then I remembered, oh, fuck, I'm on drugs.
Of course I'm on drugs.
I had some way before.
I called Celia Corrine.
It's all right, Dave.
Which one?
I was thinking Callan, but as it came out of my face,
I was like, whoa, there's a bunch.
All right. We're going there's a bunch. Trosers.
Can I ask a question?
Yes.
I want lots of questions.
Can I clarify something?
Sure.
It's simply that I have no taste in clothing.
Oh, that's why I'm speaking.
Oh, don't listen to him.
You look beautiful.
You look wonderful.
Very much. You look wonderful. He's just, he's las to him. You look beautiful. You look wonderful.
He's just, he's lashing out. Yeah.
It's what comedians do. You hurt him and he had
to attack.
You get me and you get me.
But yes, question.
Just, you know, people always ask about relationships.
I have my girlfriend, she seems very lovely,
but also I was married before,
and so I get terrified that she might just end up
being some type of demon.
What was your experience in your marriage?
It was not good
It was great
We're no longer together
It's too good, we've clocked it
Let's move on
I've got to bring this shit to someone else
I can't hog it to myself
What do you see with my relationship now?
Confusion
Yeah
Well I could tell you that.
No, look, I think it'll be very successful.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
Thank you.
You've got something that the others haven't got.
Oh, I know that.
Just one thing.
That is the nicest way of being racist ever.
Oh, we all got it You don't got a head in all of the hair
You wouldn't notice that Corinne and I
Did you mean that then or no?
It's hard to tell me.
I don't know anymore, Dara.
All right.
Have we got anything else?
We're paying for the hour.
What about broader...
So you said my ex-girlfriend isn't coming back.
What about me, broader relationship-wise?
I was talking about being on internet dating
at the start of the episode.
What do you see for me, love-life-wise, in the future?
Okay. Having experienced eHarmony,
I'd say there's no chance for you.
Oh, she's scatting all over you.
As long as you don't use eHarmony,
I think you'll be fine.
Okay, cool.
All right.
That's using no psychic ability.
That's right. That is practical
advice.
May I switch shirts?
But not with your dad because it'll be the same shirt.
What if I switch shirts
with my dad and it worked?
Like, fuck it.
Before I rang you, I rang someone else
and they were like,
I can't make it, but what were you,
what's this all about? And I said, oh, we're going to
serve you, we're going to this. And she goes,
oh yeah, sounds fun. I'm sure you'll be
all fine. And I'm like, fucking hell, I got that
for free.
Basically got the same advice tonight.
But yeah.
So, Carl has recently had a child.
It's pretty new
What do you see in the child's future?
What do you think they're going to grow up to do?
Can I take a second?
Yeah
Artist
Artist?
Finally it would be good to maybe work on the movie with us
and just do all the set up lines?
Let's just ask her.
Are we fuckheads or not?
Yes.
Alright.
Alright. Alright. Alright, maybe one final one. Have we got... Let's just ask her, are we fuckheads or not? Yes. All right. All right.
All right.
All right, maybe one final one.
Have we got...
Oh, actually, here's one.
Here's a final question.
Straight after this show,
I have to go downstairs and do my solo comedy festival show.
How's that going to go?
With this audience?
With about one thirtieth.
You're going to segregate and...
No, they're segregating themselves from quality.
Okay.
Yeah, look, I think you're going to really...
In fact, I don't know what...
I hope the owners aren't here,
but I don't know why you're in such a small venue.
Oh, thank you.
You could make a lot more money.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Nice one. I know you dodged the question. Well done. Let's ask this as a final venue. Oh, thank you. You could make a lot more money. Thank you. Thank you very much. Nice one. I know you dodged
the question. Well done.
Let's ask this as a final one.
The future of the podcast and career
wise and like how this show goes
long term. What do you see for us? What do you see
for the future of the podcast?
Absolute success. Wow.
But I do
emphasise very
clearly for you that you should be doing a film.
Yeah, okay.
And I mean it.
Right.
So that isn't funny.
No, but really, for him specifically, the chances of this five,
maybe him specifically a film?
Do you very much see all of us?
What?
You can't bully a psychic for a picture.
I don't want to do it.
So I'm just like, maybe you mean, maybe you mean just...
It's a fun idea.
No, no, no.
I will do it.
I'm not involved.
I will get Corinne.
She'll fucking do it.
What do you actually say?
When you say a film, I believe that that's a real thing,
but I wonder if you you this group of five people
together, very clearly.
This is never going to happen again.
Why? I just met you guys when I'm here.
That's fine. Okay.
Okay. I mean, wouldn't it be
amazing?
All the international directors
often use
Australians like screenwriters
and they do it from over the other side of the world
so you can do a global thing
you don't all have to be sitting in
Melbourne in a pub
trying to write a script
you can actually do it on a global basis
Do you see us all in it?
Yes
You're locked in Celia
Who's the
lead?
Good question.
Well, I thought the link might be humour,
but I'm a bit doubtful about that.
Oh!
I've been trying to help you out, Diane.
God damn it.
Thanks for coming to our drama podcast.
All right.
I feel like if we ask any more questions, we're just going to get
kicked in the head again.
I've looked into herfusion and it's zingers.
Non-stop fucking zingers.
Alright, give it up for Diane, everybody!
Thank you so much!
Thank you.
We've learned a lot there.
Fuck, I just...
It's going to be boring just living the life
now that I know exactly everything that's going to happen.
Yeah.
Now that there's no risks,
we know that everything's going to be good.
Yeah.
We know that Liverpool are definitely going to win.
No, I think it was the opposite.
I don't think that was confirmed.
Oh, I'm going to have a good time. Oh, well that's a win for me. I don't care.
Serbia, we're going to change. We're going to be
elected mayor by the sounds of it. The show is going to
go so well. We're going to be like the Mother Teresa
of Serbia. Right, right. We're going to heal
everyone there. Right. And then
we're going to come back and do the Hangover 4.
Great. Yeah. Locked in.
Done. Alright. What if Locked in. Done.
Alright.
What if you do go to Serbia
and it just is
super successful
because whatever
you're doing
like comes across
to them like
the Tokyo Shock
Boys or something
and they just
think it's like
fucking high art
and it's amazing
and they're like
you've got to
fucking see this.
We're big in Serbia.
And you just become
this hit show
and you have to
live in Serbia.
We have to move there.
How would you feel about that
if you were like
Serbia's
most popular comedy duo?
Wow.
Millionaires.
We become
Crocodile Dundee
in Serbia.
Hey, don't worry.
We won't forget you.
You'll be coming over
for the film.
Yeah, you'll be begging us
to be involved then.
I'm the lead. Alright, you'll be begging us to be involved then. I'm the lead.
Alright, let's wrap this up.
Alright folks, thank you so much for coming down.
Big round of applause, Will Anderson,
Celia Pakola,
Juan Funches, Diane.
Thank you very much for listening
and we'll see you next time.
See you mates!
And they've done it. They've absolutely
fuck me dead, they've
done it again. They've done it for the
they've done it again for the final time in Melbourne
for now. For now. Watch
watch this space. Yep.
Now, I dare you fucking
you
pieces of shit out there to find fault with this episode after.
You know, last week with the Paul Foot one, of course you're always going to get a little bit of blowback.
We think in the room, oh, the perfect episode.
Yeah.
Of course, some dickheads out there.
Oh, no, I didn't like it when he was funny.
Oh, okay, fair enough.
But you know what's interesting about that that I'll say is that we, especially with the first Paul Foot episode that we ever did,
where we put it out and we put it out sort of going,
oh, yeah, I don't know about this one.
Who knows?
And then, of course, you sort of invite it.
So then you get a bit of negative feedback on it.
I was talking to Hamish Blake about this after we did that episode,
and he said that it's very interesting that, yeah,
once you suggest that idea to people, because
most people aren't brave enough to form their own opinion.
So if you suggest, oh, maybe people don't like this, that gives people license to go,
yes, I didn't like it.
So what I'm essentially getting at is anyone who hit us up to say they didn't like it,
you're a fucking coward.
You only think that because we introduced that idea into your head.
You have a feeble mind.
Yeah.
If we had just put it out and said, no questions about it, this is great, there'll be no one You only think that because we introduced that idea into your head. You have a feeble mind. Yeah.
If we had just put it out and said, no questions about it, this is great, there'll be no one out there who doesn't like this, you wouldn't have hit us up with negative opinion.
Think for yourself, you fucking moron.
Yeah, you fucking losers.
But don't think for yourself when it comes to this episode because we're telling you it was fucking fantastic.
And, in fact, you're a real hero if you tell us it was no good.
But, yeah, this one, again, we cannot stress it enough.
A real bona fide psychic was on the episode with us.
Not a character, not just a friend of ours coming in.
This was an idea we had and it was, oh, God. well you you tried to book someone a couple of days out
um it was all looking fine we found someone who said they could do it and then on the day they
were like actually we can't do it so then you were frantically looking through the yellow pages
i rang or texted more than 30 psychics yeah fucking. Fucking hell. Guys, if you're a little kid listening to this, get into being a psychic.
What?
You're going to be fucking busy.
This was Easter.
Easter weekend.
Yeah.
The busiest time.
People just wanting to know, is Jesus coming back?
People wanting to know how many eggs they were getting the next day.
What's the cheapest point of the weekend to get hot cross buns?
I need to find out from a psychic medium.
Honestly, people, so many people were busy on the day.
And look, I know whatever you do, if you're getting hit up on the day,
can you come and do your job in about five hours is a tough ask.
But honestly, I did think psychics are sitting around twiddling their thumbs,
going, fuck, should I have become a butcher?
Like, they are so fucking busy.
We really learnt
something this weekend.
There should be a,
psychics should come
around to school.
Yeah.
Like,
do they have like,
Oh,
career day.
Career day?
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Come around,
you're going to be.
I mean,
I don't remember when I was
in late high school and,
you know,
you start getting those talks
in assembly about university
and what you could do.
Yeah.
I don't remember that ever
being on the table.
No,
no,
no.
Well,
I guess,
you know, that's the whole thing. I guess people are supposed to being on the table. No, no, no. Well, I guess that's the whole thing.
I guess people are supposed to know that they are a psychic already.
But that is pretty funny, like a private school education
to have someone come in and go, be a medium.
Yeah.
That's what Dilruba is now rather than a 4XL.
Very nice.
Yes.
Very nice.
You might get in there somewhere.
Is that your first sort of actual non-fat joke?
You're slowly transitioning.
Yeah.
I like it.
Yeah.
And it just wasn't as fun.
Yeah.
No, but it was more clever.
Yeah, I guess so.
It's not fun to be clever.
I think we can agree.
You know what?
You didn't laugh.
Usually you would laugh.
You went, oh, yes, nice.
Yeah.
That's not what I want.
I want to say, look at that fatty.
And you go, ah! Right, but we are currently, we Yeah. That's not what I want. I want to say, look at that fatty, and you go, ah!
Right, but we are currently, we're recording this from in the United Kingdom,
and that's very much the style of comedy that they do over here.
Yep.
Clever sort of things that make you go, oh, I see what's happened here.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know about that.
But, yeah, that was a real psychic, and thank you to her for doing it.
A real psychic, even though we should say not a lot
of actual psychic work being done on the episode so even after listening to it i could understand
someone going oh they just got a friend from outside of comedy to just come and talk at them
for yes there wasn't a lot of there was no crystal balls there was no tarot cards there was no nothing
except for her sort of trying to just get a laugh. Yeah. And I was sort of trying to probe her.
Yeah.
Can we get something out of you?
Desperately.
Like we could have just got a comedian.
Yeah.
Throwing out some big softballs and going, just because we were being a bit specific
and I was like, okay, well, she gets that she's meant to make a joke off the back of
this.
So there's a point where I'm just going, just love life.
How's it going to go?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, nothing specific.
No, no in jokes, just broad strokes here.
Just tell me anything.
To be fair, she did.
When I gave her the Liverpool one, I asked her about Liverpool,
and she was like, no.
And, you know, a couple of weeks later, it is sort of looking that way.
Okay, right.
Yeah, there's something in that.
So, yeah, good fun.
And, yeah, Ron Funches, great to have him on the show for the first time
after trying a couple of times when we've been in America
and not being able to make it work.
Yeah, I've hit him up a few times when we've been over there doing stuff
and he's never been able to do it.
Got it perfectly, I thought, for someone walking into something
pretty in-joke heavy and not even really knowing us at all.
And, look, despite the fact that you're saying, you know,
you've put a suggestion in people's minds and they take that away and they believe it and they decide that that's their own opinion,
don't interrupt to say, oh, Ron Funtos could have said more.
We can't control what people say.
Yes.
And the stuff he said was very funny.
Yeah.
So it's fine.
Yeah.
We have an order of getting guests on stage.
Will comes on because he knows the show.
He knows how we work. He listens to the show. There's no use getting Ron on first and Will comes on because he knows the show. He knows how we work.
He listens to the show.
There's no use getting Ron on
and first him going,
what the fuck is this?
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, so he came on.
He was a great pinch hitter.
He was very,
everything he said was very funny.
Yep.
And then we had a fucking psychic
on there for some reason.
Yeah, good stuff.
A great end to a great little run in Melbourne
and thanks to everyone who came out
to any or all of these shows.
It was a very fun month.
And I hope, you know, we do know that there's plenty of listeners in,
for example, Melbourne, that people hit you up and you go,
fucking, you've never been to a live show.
So I hope that was a run of shows that you go,
fuck, I would like to have been in the room for that.
Yes.
Because we do try and make our live shows very fun, like a party.
Yeah.
And we try and keep it transferable, like all the visual stuff, to the audio medium,
but it is good to put on a show.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, come on and be part of it.
You've got to play to the people, first and foremost, who've paid money to be in the room.
Yeah.
As opposed to you scabs sitting there in your little armchair getting it for free.
Yep.
Yep.
Waiting for us to tell you what you think of this show.
Yes.
And just to refresh, you thought it was great.
Yeah, this was a great one.
You thought this was the best one you've ever heard.
Yeah.
You fucking idiots.
You can't wait to tell us all about it.
Yeah, get on there.
Get active on the socials.
And suck on our dickie.
Wow.
No comment.
No comment.
Once again, jumping ahead in the timeline of Dumb Dumb.
People don't know what you're talking about yet.
So what do we need to talk about now?
What other business is there to get to?
Yeah, I think we've tackled everything there.
That was a very fun show.
Thanks to all the guests.
Yeah, and again, go to all the shows of people that you like that do our show.
It's a great thing.
I think next week we're going to get back to a studio episode and have a little bit of a break.
So that'll be fun.
Yes.
Yes.
Are we?
Aren't we?
What number is this?
This is...
I think this is...
Because aren't we making...
448, isn't it?
Is it?
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, you're probably right.
Oh, okay.
Well, in that case, yes.
Back to studio.
Thank you. Back to the stud yes. Back to studio. Thank you.
Back to the stude.
Yes.
So you get a little bit of a break from the live ones before we crack back into a couple.
So that will be fun if there are still comedy festivals going around wherever you live.
Go and support friends of the show.
But you know what?
Because the guests actually love it.
They'll go, they'll tell us, oh, there was a couple of people in dum-dum shirts in the
front row.
And it's like, it does legitimize the show to performers.
For sure.
What I like is when people who haven't been on the show
have people turn up wearing our T-shirts and go,
why the fuck is this happening?
They're just rubbing my nose in the fact that we've never been asked
to be on your stupid podcast.
Yep.
So, yeah, like we mentioned at the top, a few other live things coming up. We've got Koh Samui
June 11 until 16. Plenty
of time to book your accom, plenty of time to book
your flights and get your tickets. It's
looking great. Heaps of great guests locked
in. The Do Go On podcast coming over with us.
I've got to say,
in some guest action, still moving
and moving all over the joint. Still
plenty of spinning plates. Yeah.
So there may still be additions and stuff like that.
There's already been, in the last week,
someone be in and not be in and then be in again
and then another person be in and then not be in.
So things are still fucking happening.
Yep.
There's a lot going on in here at HQ.
It'll be exciting to get to the island
and find out who's fucking there.
Yes, exactly.
It's going to be like a big reveal.
Yes.
We do have confirmed guests, of course.
We do have...
Who do we have?
We do go on the podcast.
So if you're into them, if you're into...
There's a bunch of crossover fans, I believe.
So they're there.
There is also Nick Cody's coming along.
Yep.
Dirk Jaisinger is coming along.
Yep.
Nick Capra is coming along.
Brett Blake.
Brett Blake is coming along.
Oliver Clarke.
Oliver Clarke is coming along.
I think they're the absolutely confirmed.
They're the people I know to be definitely coming.
Yeah.
Yes.
A lot of three-timers in there.
Yeah.
They're the ones with accommodation locked in, flights locked in.
They're the ones I definitely know.
Yeah.
There are a few more that are saying they're coming.
They're the ones.
There is no evidence of it quite yet.
They're the ones that aren't going to bail because they're financially invested now.
Yes, exactly.
So, yeah, get along.
Like I said, the last one we do there, so it's going to be fun.
And then Sydney, July 27.
Get your tickets for that.
It's selling very fast.
It's a big room, but it'll be sold out by the time we get to it,
so don't drag your heels on it.
Get involved.
It's going to be great.
Live stand-up.
It's about three quarters full or something now, isn't it?
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, that's going to be heaps of fun.
Really looking forward to that one.
The last time we did that in Sydney, it was an awesome night.
So get along to that.
Newcastle, thanks for selling that out.
Looking forward to that as well.
Very next day, yep.
Yeah, and then we'll get some other stuff booked in in the near future.
Yeah, then we start to look at other places of which a few people have hit me up about already.
So, yeah, we've got to start making calls on that, which is, you know, it's a bit of a head fuck thinking about that sort of stuff when we're yet to do these head fuck of a shows in London.
Yeah, yeah.
And then we've got Koh Samui.
Yep.
And we've already got Sydney and Newcastle to think about after that. And all of a sudden it's like, yeah, but what about these other places? Fucking hell. Yeah, yeah. And then we've got Koh Samui. Yep. And we've already got Sydney and Newcastle
to think about after that
and all of a sudden
it's like,
yeah, but what about
these other places?
Fucking hell.
Yeah.
But we will be doing
our best to come to your town
and do all that stuff.
So littledumbdumbclub.com
for all the links
to stuff we've mentioned.
New website.
Yeah, new website.
It looks great.
Thanks to Joel
who did a fantastic job on it.
It's also where you can find
links to the socials
and everything.
So follow us on Facebook and Instagram and Twitter and all those things.
Those are going to be sort of your best places outside of the podcast
to find out about as soon as we announce live shows
and put tickets on sale and all that sort of stuff.
So that's the best way to keep up to date.
If you head to littledumbdumbclub.com,
you can also find the link to our Patreon,
which is where you can support the show.
Each month we send out a bonus episode, we send out a bonus magazine, and we also, every
week at the end of the show, we read out your little name to say thank you for chipping
into our coffers.
So, after getting this through the UK customs, it is a little banged up.
Right.
Because you took it to Serbia.
Yes. And then you had to get it back through customs hereed up. Right. Because you took it to Serbia. Yes.
And then you had to get it back through customs here.
Yes.
Right.
And there were some shots spilled on it in Serbia.
Right.
So hopefully, well, look, I've tried it out already.
I had a test run.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
How many did you test it with?
Well, that's the thing.
Right.
Okay.
I tried to, I just gave it a test run,
and it has severely reduced the amount of thing. Right. Okay. I tried to, I just gave it a test run, and it has severely reduced the amount of names
that we're able to get out.
Now, hopefully when I get it home.
You spring this on me now.
Hopefully when I get it home, we'll be able to get the technicians to look at it.
But at the moment.
Well, what, I mean, I've come around to your hotel to do this.
What's the point of me even coming here if we're only going to be doing 15, 20, 25 names?
God, I've got some bad news for him.
Look, Tommy.
What? You look like you've got one foot
out the door, but don't. I literally, I've opened
the door. I've got one foot in the corridor.
Please, stay.
It's not even going to be able to
spit out that many names.
Look, and that's a good thing.
15 would be the lowest amount we've ever done already,
and we're not even going to do that number?
Look, we're in merry old England.
At the very least, when I tell you how many names we're about to do,
at the very least that means you've got more time to go out and suck off Big Ben.
Right, okay.
Yeah.
Okay, that is a good point.
Because the sucking off of Big Ben in The Lonely Planet, it says,
takes about the length
of time that it takes to read out five names.
Wow.
How many names?
Five.
That's just what The Lonely Planet said.
Oh, right.
But it's one from, I got it cheap.
It's from like 10 years ago.
Right.
So they might have updated it.
It might have changed.
Maybe they've added to it.
Maybe there's more stuff.
Maybe it's bigger now, which means that sucking it off takes a bit longer.
Let's just say that they don't need to update that little
section of the book.
Oh, you've stuck out already, have you?
It is. We are about to do five names.
We're about to do five names?
Yeah. Wow. It's only five.
It's really weird. Anyway, apologies.
Back to, hopefully,
in the next couple of weeks, we'll be back to normal.
Once I get it back to Australia,
we'll be able to fix out this bug.
Well, maybe try and fix it over here.
Oh, man.
Have you seen the price of everything over here?
No.
Yeah, but every now and then, there'll be some things that are a bit cheaper.
Like beer, there's chocolate.
Beer is cheaper.
Maybe beer, chocolate, and repairs for the unplanned title alternator
are the three things that they do cheaper over here than in Australia.
Maybe.
You never know.
So maybe you could say, like if I said to you,
what are your five favourite things about England?
It could be like the beer, the beach, the chocolate.
Yep.
The cost of repairing the unplanned title alternator.
Yep.
And the mingers.
The mingers.
Yeah.
Right.
Seen some well-fit Mingers so far.
To come from Serbia to here, it's a bit of a culture shock.
It is.
It is a real shock to the system.
Yes.
Yeah, coming from the Hemsworth brothers, it's a bad review for England.
All right, let's get into it.
Let's get into this severely shortened Patreon read this week.
Yep, yep, yep.
Blink and you'll miss it.
Thank you to
number one cab off the rank this
week. Number one black
cab off the rank this week.
Gee, I hope this person isn't.
That was meant
in a different way, but sure.
Let's keep going.
First game off the rack this week, thank you to Patreon subscriber Laura Farrell.
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
What do you think?
Spelled as in the musician?
As in Perry Farrell?
No, as in Farrell Williams.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
F-A-R-R-E-L-L. I think that's Farrell? No, it was in Farrell. Williams. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. F-A-R-R-E-L-L.
I think that's Farrell.
Is it?
I have a friend with that last name and she pronounces it Farrell.
Oh, okay.
But I could be wrong.
I mean, maybe there's different spellings, the same spellings that have different pronunciations.
Look, I'll go with you.
You seem like you've done all the research.
Laura Farrell.
You're right.
Perry Farrell from Jane's Addiction.
That's how you pronounce his name.
Fair enough.
Wow.
A great talking point already.
Laura.
Who do you like more, Perry Farrell or Pharrell Williams?
Pharrell Williams, definitely.
Big time.
Definitely.
Hands down.
Despite my vintage, yeah, a lot of people growing up that I knew were massive James Addiction fans,
but I wasn't at all.
Yeah.
Not until, of course, they provide the theme to the iconic TV show, Entourage.
Isn't it weird to think that you can record a song and it just sits there forever?
And when you're recording it for the album,
you have no idea that one day it'll be picked up for a show as good as Entourage.
I've always thought that if I was a musician, I would be so trying to think of a song with a chorus that fit like a sports montage or some sort of ad where it's like you're trying to be cool, but you do have a chorus where it's like, this is some delicious chocolate.
Right.
Okay.
I reckon there's a new Black Keys album coming out and they've put out two songs from it and i think they are
actively just trying to write songs now that are going to be in ads right is the word miss
abyssinian in one of them yeah it's like their songs you know how like a lot of ad like uh yeah
ad agencies or whatever yep if they can't license a song or they can't afford to license a song or they just can't be fucked.
Yep.
They'll just get like a, they'll do like a knockoff version.
So you'll see songs, you'll hear songs in ads all the time where it's like two notes different.
Yep.
But you can tell what song it's meant to be.
The Blackies now sound like the versions of ads that are ripping off their old songs.
Right.
Kind of.
Yeah.
Okay.
Right.
It's pretty dull stuff.
Right.
But you can see it being in a Target commercial.
Yeah, right.
Easily.
You're right off a band.
Like, you like a band, and then they put out a dud, and you go, no, that's it for them.
I wouldn't say that's it for them.
Like, I didn't love their last album, but I'm still interested by this one coming out.
Right.
I don't necessarily dislike these songs, but it's a million miles away from what they were doing.
Right.
Like, it's funny to turn into a band that now sounds like the stuff that was ripping
you off.
Right.
Like, actively be going, oh, I guess this is just the songs we'll make now.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know whether either of them are right or wrong.
I feel like you go, oh, I love this band.
I love this band.
Oh, they put that song out.
Oh, well, I'm never listening to that again.
No.
Whereas I think I'm the other way.
Yeah, right.
Where it's like, oh, this sounds, I love this thing.
Oh, this sounds like shit. Well, I guess I just have to listen to it all the time anyway. Right. Whereas I think I'm the other way. Yeah, right. Where it's like, oh, this sounds, I love this thing. Oh, this sounds like shit.
Well, I guess I just have to listen to it all the time anyway.
Right.
I get you.
I wouldn't say, I don't completely go off them.
I don't like never listen to them again.
I just, as the album comes out.
You burned your stereo.
I saw you do it.
You saw me burn my stereo.
Yes.
Right.
That Black Keys song came out and you burnt your stereo even though you weren't listening
I wasn't listening to it on that.
Yeah.
I was just so full of rage. Yeah. By it not being as good as what i wanted it to be you just wanted to
show to me metaphorically what you thought about it um and man it stuck in my head that's for sure
i think i'm yeah no i think i'm more loyal with music than you're giving me credit for for example
um jamiroquai a band who have not been good for, I mean, if you want to be generous, 15 years or potentially ever.
They are doing shows here not long after we leave and I'm devastated.
Right.
If they were playing when I was here, I would go in a heartbeat to see Jamiroquai.
Well, I like that.
I like a little, I like a flicker of loyalty there.
I like it.
Yeah, that's fair. I'll put that on I like a flicker of loyalty there. I like it. Yeah, that's fair.
I'll put that on your permanent record.
Nice, nice work.
What if we got JK for one of these London gigs?
Would you be into it?
Mate, at the moment, I'd get the bloke downstairs in reception at the moment.
It is, yeah, look, I don't think there's any secret to some of our booking methods sometimes.
Yeah, it's hard work.
A little preview to the next couple of weeks, but we've done our show on a long weekend
where I believe every comedian in town is out of town at another festival.
We clash with a pretty big comedy festival that's just out of town.
It's going to be all right.
It'll be fine.
It'll be great.
But yes, Pharrell Williams, one of the greats.
Definitely.
Yeah.
Absolutely one of my favourites.
N.E.R.D.
Now, do you like N.E.R.D.?
I liked the first album.
Right.
I didn't mind the second album.
Right.
And I haven't had a great listen to the others.
The new one is really good.
Is it?
Yeah, I love it.
Oh, I'll have a listen to it then.
Yeah.
I could listen to the greatest hits of Pharrell Williams' production.
Yes.
And songwriting on other people's stuff.
I could listen to that.
That would stack up.
If they made a best of that, that would stack up as one of the best albums of the last 15 years.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sure there'll be a playlist on Apple Music or something of all the stuff he's ever done.
Great solo album that he did a few years ago.
Girl.
Oh, it was okay.
I never think he's quite nailed it as solo.
I really like that album.
I'd love him to do another one.
The songs that he produced on Ariana Grande's album are great.
He's the greatest of all time.
He's so good.
The greatest of all time in music.
In everything.
At basketball, at cricket, at podcasting.
At cricket.
At stand-up comedy.
He's a young-looking motherfucker.
100.
But what is he now, like 55 or something like that?
No.
He's 50.
Oh, is he 50?
I reckon he's 50.
I feel like we've had this discussion on here before.
Really?
I'm going to Google him now.
That's a weird thing for us to discuss Pharrell Williams' age even once on this show, to be
honest.
Pharrell Williams.
Pharrell Williams' age is the third thing that comes up when you search Pharrell.
46. 46? Yep. Really? I always assumed he was older. Pharrell Williams Age It's the third thing That comes up When you search Pharrell 46 46
Yep
Really
I always assumed he was older
But he is still looking
Extremely good
Yep
Um
I'd smash
Mmm
I'd fuck Pharrell
Yeah sure
Why not
Um
I went to his
We've
We've
We've both been to his shop
In New York
He's got a
Like a fashion shop?
Salon?
I don't know that I've been.
Oh, I've been.
What's it called, Ian?
Millionaire.
I can't remember.
Millionaire Club?
Oh, yeah.
Billionaire Boys Club.
Billionaire Boys Club.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've seen him live.
Have you?
Have you ever seen them live?
No.
I saw NERD like maybe like 2010 or something.
Where? Fuck, what was the festival? I saw NERD like maybe like 2010 or something where?
fuck what was the festival?
it was some festival at
Flemington Racecourse
oh really?
I think it's a festival that doesn't exist anymore
fuck it was like a one day
dance music festival
someone out there will know what it was
right
I didn't know they ever came down here
yeah
nice
thanks Laura Pharrell Williams
thanks Pharrell
thank you to Patreon subscriber James Moore.
James Addiction.
Yeah.
James Moore.
M-double-O-R.
That's it, baby.
Thanks for giving us more money.
Well, well done.
Very, very soft.
So, what I like about James Moore's contribution to us is that sometimes people subscribe like a funny number.
Like what they think is a funny number.
I can't recall that ever happening, but I'll take your word for it.
Well, that's why I'm not explaining to the listeners.
I'm explaining to you.
Oh, right.
Of course.
Yep.
Because you're not running this severely handicapped machine at the moment.
this severely handicapped machine at the moment.
But he has, whether it's accidentally or on purpose, I don't know,
he's gone to the effort of trying to make a funny number and then somehow fucked it.
So he subscribes for the amount of $10.68 a month.
Good on you, mate.
Yeah.
Good stuff.
Very funny.
The old 68.
How do you think that's happened?
Is there like a one cent tax that Patreon takes off that he just hasn't made it in?
Well, no one else.
Other people can work it out.
Yeah, it comes up.
Everyone else always does it.
There's a bunch of people that do $5.69, $10.69.
I see what's going on here.
$10.68. If only what's going on here. $10.68.
If only he'd put in one cent more.
Oh!
Wow.
That's what he's done.
You've cracked the code.
I've cracked the code.
Fuck, we're in London town and Sherlock Dumbcunt is on the coast.
Wow.
Well, this is...
What an enigma wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in a big piece of horseshit.
Yeah, you nearly fooled us, Jimmy, but we fucking, you got the world's greatest detectives on the case.
You're a little bloody Sudoku, aren't you?
Yep.
Sudoku cunt.
Good stuff.
Wonderful stuff.
Scotland Yards on it.
And case closed.
James, Jimmy Moore.
Yeah, Jimmy Moore. Good on you, Jimmy. Thank you. Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Moore. Yeah, Jimmy Moore.
Good on you, Jimmy.
Thank you.
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Moore.
Thanks, James.
Thanks, James.
Thank you to Patreon subscriber.
We've doubled up.
Wow.
Two Jameses in a row.
Wow.
What are the odds?
Like two needles in a haystack.
This is James addiction.
We're addicted to having Jameses subscribe to us.
What are the odds?
I mean, with James being such a rare name, this is insane.
We should go and buy lotto tickets after this.
Yeah.
What do you think of the name James?
I think I've said this in the past.
I tried to get my parents to – I don't have a middle name.
When I was a child, I tried to get my parents to give me a middle name.
Great.
And you wanted James.
Yes, I asked for James.
Wow.
It's a hard name to have an opinion on because it's so, you know, it's just, it's whatever.
I wonder what people from other countries think of it because it's pretty wallpaper
here.
My next door neighbor growing up was called James.
Shout out to him.
I've got a friend called James, but I, most people call him James
or Jamie,
but I don't particularly
like those names.
So,
I feel like I'm nearly about
the only person
that calls him Jimmy.
Oh,
are you really?
Yeah.
Yeah,
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
So,
yeah,
everyone else,
everyone else goes with James.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Oh,
I'm going to start
calling him James then.
Okay.
Well,
let's find out if this is him or not.
Right.
Give us the last name.
Thank you to Patreon subscriber James.
What attention for all the listeners out there.
People doing a bit of me.
When I heard the Black Keys just burning their stereo.
It's like, get to the fucking surname.
All right.
Thank you to Patreon subscriber James
Lepari.
Wow.
Yeah.
Now that was worse.
None of us
saw that coming.
Not even you.
What are the odds on that?
That's even higher odds
than two Jameses in a row.
Yeah.
Having a name like that
spat out of the computer.
James Lepari?
L-I-P-A-R-I.
I like it.
Lepari.
Sounds like from your mob.
I reckon it is.
Yeah.
From my mob.
Yeah.
From your Molto mob.
Oh, my don.
Yeah.
From the same village you're from.
Yep.
Which is, what was that village again?
Hmm.
I'm just trying to remember.
I'm trying to remember.
It's been so long since I visited.
Yes.
It was near Sardinia, isn't it?
It's Big Dickia.
Big Dickia.
Big Dickia.
B-I-G-D-I-C-C-H-I-A?
Yeah, Big Dish.
Back there you pronounced it B-I-Z-I-S-H-I-A.
Right, right.
B-I-Z-I-S-H-I-A.
Oh, you're just dumbing it down for me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For a simple layman to understand.
Yeah.
Right, great.
It's like, you know, Ronnie Chang.
It's like that's not really his name.
That's like the English version of his name.
Right, right, right.
Big Dizia.
Big Dizia.
Big Dizia.
Big Dizia.
Right, right, right.
Oh, that's lovely.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
Beautiful this time of year.
Lovely.
And Italy's shaped like a boot and that town is shaped like...
It's the world's biggest country.
Right, right, right.
And what's it known for? It's right. And what's it known for?
It's two inches.
What's it known for?
What's the exports?
What comes out of Bidisha?
They're famous for their buffalo mozzarella.
Great.
Yep.
A lot of it.
They produce a lot of it?
And it's a lot
It's a lot
You know
It's a lot milkier
And creamier
Wow
Than where you'd get it
In any other region
Great
Yeah
So do the people from there
Enjoy tasting their own
Or
It's great for your skin
Right
Yep
Right
Okay
And they taste their own
Or is it just purely
For other people
Well I mean
You're making it
You're growing it.
You're going to sample the goods.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Sounds – I guess that makes sense, I guess.
I can't – I mean, I'm really looking forward to getting over there because I'm visiting
there on this trip.
Right.
And just really copping a big load of it.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, okay.
Well, don't do it every day because they say you'll go blind if you have too much of that cheese.
That much dairy is going to be bad for anyone.
Yeah.
I mean, personally, that's up to the individual.
I'm a bit lactose intolerant with that sort of thing.
I'm not really into it.
Not really my scene.
Thanks, James.
Thanks, James.
Thanks to all the Jameses
Thank you
Thanks for being responsible for that
History and geography lesson
Thank you to
Patreon subscriber
Brent Hodson
Hodson
I hate this
Look
I hate it
I'm glad you said it sounds like there's a fucking letter
missing hod yeah hodson that's that's difficult to say this name it's rare that you hear a name
where it feels like hard work to even say it yeah but this is a fucking slog it's hard work on my
eyes brent i'm looking at it hod h It's like it's got jagged bits on it.
It's a name that you've got to take
a little bit of a pause in it.
You're running it. You're getting a good run there.
You hit that D, so to speak.
And then it's like you've got an S.
It sounds like you're back home again.
Normally, it's like Hodson.
So you've got the G in the middle.
It's a little bridge between the D and the S. But with this, it's just like Hodgson. So you've got the G in the middle to kind of, it's a little bridge between the D and the S.
Right.
But with this, it's just like this Hodson.
You know, you stop dead in your tracks.
Yep.
Get fucked.
Yeah.
Good summation.
It's the same as Brent.
It's like, you know, how easy is it to have Brett?
Brent.
Easy.
Easy.
Brett.
Brett.
Brent.
Brent.
And the T is like a brick wall that you're slamming into.
Get all the fucking speed bumps out of your fucking name.
You've doubled up on the speed bumps.
It's like it's hard.
You're making it hard for everyone, especially us on a show where we're trying to say your name over and over,
and it's just clogging us down.
Yeah.
It's like trying to run through treacle with your fucking name, Brent.
We had a nice little run with all that Italian bullshit just before yeah and now we've got this this is
depressing yeah it's uh this is so depressing that i'm looking out the window of your hotel
at that gloomy london sky just to cheer myself up a bit just to give myself a bit more color yeah
it's um yeah it's not great when you're looking out at those dreary grey skies out there and going,
this is better than this cunt's name.
But thanks, Brett.
Still, all that being said, thanks, Brett.
All right.
Well, I guess this is it for this week.
Is it really?
Yeah.
Well, I've just hit the button and the names come up and
i've i've tried to sneak i've tried to cheat a little bit and i've i've hit it again nothing's
come out so this is it it's five it's true what they said wow yeah you thought you thought maybe
you'd be able to cheat it in some way so maybe it may have dried out or something by now man
versus machine yeah of course you know we're in England. Nothing's drying out.
It's good that we're doing less than normal
because this is quite legitimately
the shortest one of these we've ever done.
Oh, great.
Well, we are in my shit accommodation in London
and it's two o'clock in the afternoon
and I haven't done anything yet.
Yeah.
I flew all the fucking way over here.
We should be out there doing something.
Yeah.
So I'm happy.
Yeah.
I'm happy to get out of here early.
Go and fucking do something.
Maybe like book some guests.
Yep.
But sure.
All right.
Let's just do...
Let's do this one more.
Just one more.
This one, like I said, this one is fifth.
Fifth and final one for this week.
Okay.
What's coming out?
Is it taking a little while to spit out the name because of the malfunctions?
No, no, no, no.
Oh, the name's there?
Yeah, it's here.
You've got the name in front of you?
Yep.
Right. I'm just, it just... Well, you just said there? Yeah, it's here You've got the name in front of you Yep Right
I'm just, it just
Well, you just said that you were like busting to get out of here
And now all of a sudden you're taking ages to get around to just saying what it is
Well, look, it's just because I'm not completely familiar with this name
Right
And, you know, sometimes there'll be a name that you're not sure how to pronounce
Yep
Because it's in a different language maybe
Yep, pretty familiar with that
Right Yep Well, you know, the struggle Not to boast, but, you know pronounce. Yep. Because in a different language, maybe. Yep. Pretty familiar with that.
Right.
Yep.
Well, you know, the struggle... Not to boast, but, you know.
The struggle we had before is sort of the same sort of struggle.
The struggle is in the nude wrestling we did before we started recording.
No, no, no, no.
With the...
When I was asking you about where you're from.
Right.
The pronunciation of your hometown.
Ah, right, right.
I remember now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Back then.
Back in the golden years of this Talking Dumb Dumb episode.
Maybe this won't be the shortest one we've ever done.
I enjoy the idea of people being able to look down at the timer of the episode as they're
listening to us make this wild prediction and go, I got bad news for you, boys.
Oh, well, you're about to finish.
15 minutes to go.
What are you talking about?
Do they play songs for the last 12?
Three more hours.
Do they whack some of their favorite Pharrell Williams songs on at the end?
Okay.
Well, like we said before, look, you'll know what this name is.
This name will be familiar to you, I guess, being Italian.
Oh, right.
Here we go.
Well, at least half of it.
Right.
Half of it.
I'd better limber up.
Yes.
Sounds like I've got a bit of work ahead of me.
Bit of spoiler alert, but there is an Italian-sounding name, I believe.
Second name, maybe it is.
I'm not sure.
Okay.
It's hard to tell.
Okay.

I've never encountered a virgin before.
You've never met one before?
No.
Never just run into one?
Never had any dialogue with one?
No.
Never?
No, never.
I've never encountered that name.
Wow.
I guess maybe when you go over there this time.
I mean, sometimes people, but sometimes
meet someone like that really early on
and sometimes it takes a little while.
Yeah, I hope I get to meet someone
like that. I'm staying in an Airbnb and my
host's name is Enal. Right.
So, and I've
encountered that name many, many times.
But no, never for gin.
So you've booked your flights.
Well, I want to get into heaven.
You've booked your flights.
So that means you've paid quite a lot of money to run into it for gin.
Big, big euro.
Big, big euro.
After all that money, hopefully you do get to run into one, at least.
Yeah, but you never know.
Yeah.
I mean, look, fingers crossed.
Maybe I can give some updates.
Fingers crossed.
I've heard that's a...
What's that called again?
The Luger.

Big fan, I have to say.

Big, big fan.
Really?
See, that's a German thing, isn't it?

to the Luger.
Really?
Right,
okay,
that's interesting.
Fucking hell.
What a learning
experience.
We learn about
Italian,
we learn about
German.
This is a real
Babel fish of comedy
on the show.
Yeah,
it's almost like
we're right near
Europe at the moment.
Yeah,
these are things
we've learned so far.
Yes.
Right.
Yes.
I stopped over in Munich for like an hour and a half yesterday.
Did you?
On the way back from Serbia.
And yeah.
That's where you learn about the Luger.
Yes.
In the airport.
Yes.
You went to the toilet.
Yeah, yeah.
No, as I was going through customs, they're like, anything to declare?
I'm like, well, you guys will be interested in this.
I'm packing a big old Luger right now.
And then I made the gesture.
Yep.
And then, ironically enough, that led to a bit of a strip search.
Great.
What's that up there?
They actually search you with a Luger.
Sorry, guys.
Only 20 more minutes to go, we swear.
Yep.
Well, thanks, Virgin. Thanks, Virgin. First 20 more minutes to go, we swear. Yep. Well, thanks, Virgin.
Thanks, Virgin.

we were being fast-forwarded as we were chasing those.
Just like you'd like to do to this show.
