The Little Dum Dum Club with Tommy & Karl - 547 - Daniel Sloss & Tom Ballard
Episode Date: March 23, 2021This week we've got two guests from either side of hotel quarantine: DANIEL SLOSS and TOM BALLARD! Sloss is about to quarantine for two weeks so that he can feed his ego ...by doing comedy on the Gold Coast. Meanwhile, Tom has just returned from quarantining in New Zealand so he gives Sloss as many tips as he can - nearly all of which are about self pleasure. We also get pumped up for our impending pop-up burger restaurant, reminisce about previous Drunkcasts PLUS Sloss drops a massive bombshell of a yarn on us about his fiancé! Hosted on Acast.

Today on The Little Dumb Dumb Club, a brand new episode with guests Daniel Sloss and Tom Ballard.
This episode of The Little Dumb Dumb Club is brought to you by friend of the show, Greg Larson,
and his show, This Might Not Be Hell, it is on at the Melbourne Town Hall from now until April the 18th.
Go and check out our good friend, Geggy. It's a little play that he's written. It's a little piece of theatre. It is peak Gag Larson.
It's not just, you know, who wants to hear the man himself?
He's doing a bit of character stuff, which is what you want.
You want him pretending to be someone fucked in the head.
Exactly.
That's what you want.
That's peak Gag.
You've gotten tons of little previews of that on this show over the years.
And, yeah, always good stuff.
Greg's one of these people that is on the show a fair bit.
You know him, you love him, so do the right thing this festival season.

Thank you very much for joining us.
My name is Tommy Daslow and with me as always, the other half of the program, Carl Chandler.
Hey dickhead.
And joining us today we have two Very special guests
Please welcome back into the little dum-dum club
Tom Ballard and Daniel Sloss
Yay
Yes
And another bonus little guest
That we miss very much, Zoom
Welcome back Zoom
Yeah you guys have much
Have you just been doing like face to face
Fucking podcast like There's not a global pandemic on Yeah, you guys have much just... We are zooming Tom Ballard in. Have you just been doing face-to-face fucking podcasts
like there's not a global pandemic on?
Yeah, we've been doing face-to-face fucking podcasts.
We've launched a new one.
Things are going so well here
that we're just spitting into each other's mouths
at the end of each recording.
Yeah, we're allowed to bear back now.
It's pretty cool.
Here's a question.
Seeing as you're all a bunch of, obviously,
libtard cucks,
is it really hard
to accept
that your government
did a really fucking
good job of this
the fact that you're now
is it really hard
to admit that they
actually kind of did well
and your economy's open
does that suck
to fucking admit
no
we'll let Tom
field this one
yeah yeah exactly
yeah me and Tommy
aren't sure who's in power
at the moment
so
so Ballard can answer that you said cucks is that the moment. So, I don't know if I can answer that.
You said cucks.
Is that the name of the party that's running the country?
I'd vote for that.
That sounds pretty cool.
The six colonies were federated in January the 1st, 1901.
And you really need to know about the consideration process
in order to have a foot...
No, they're all still cunts, all right?
They just did all the left-wing things,
and that's why they won, so they were cheating.
So, how about that?
Oh.
So, you're angry they did left-wing things and that's why they won, so they were cheating. So how about that? So you're angry they did left-wing things?
I'm angry that they'll probably get elected
in the next fucking election
because the Australian left is so fucking bullshit.
But at least when they get re-elected,
they get re-elected because they arguably did a good job.
Our government said to our faces on camera,
they were like, if 20,000 people die, it'll be a disaster.
And we've just surpassed 135,000.
And more than 60% of fucking England is like,
wow, we fucking nailed it.
Oh my God.
Bob Bojo's the fucking goat, man.
This is so, my gran's dead. I'm not fucking goat, man. This is so...
My gran's dead.
I'm not allowed in McDonald's.
What more do we fucking want?
I'm going to swap those two priorities around the other way, but whatever.
They said it couldn't be done.
Well, congrats, man.
You must be stoked.
Yeah.
Huge.
You're in such a bad position that this is your hour of exercise right now talking to us cunts in Australia.
Yeah. This is the hour of exercise right now, talking to us cunts in Australia. Yeah, yeah.
This is the highlight of your fucking day.
Yeah, I'll have a two-minute fucking ab workout
during this laughing at my own jokes.
So, yeah, you are about to get on a plane and come to the promised land,
a land of gigs and opportunities.
You are one of basically the only people in the world to be attempting this
we just had russell howard in the country but uh yeah i think you're the only other person to uh
to uh be that desperate for attention from a crowd and you are not fucking wrong man it's amazing
it's amazing it's amazing what a lack of audience does to a man who has spent 12 years of his life running on ego.
Fucking.
Let me just say this right now.
Being humble fucking sucks.
And I don't know why the rest of you do it.
It's fucking painful.
Well, it's mainly due to our lack of ability.
We can't really get around it.
It's amazing you didn't go to New Zealand for RuPaul's Drag Race
with this fucking ego queen fucking bullshit you put out.
The sausage roll, yeah.
I would say, Sloss, take your time.
I mean, I just bombed in front of 13 people last Tuesday,
so, you know, not having gigs is not the worst thing in the world.
Yeah, that's the new normal for us.
Car bombing.
Nature is healing.
We're getting back together.
I drove two hours to Bendigo last night to do a very average gig
in the car on the darkened
freeway just fearing for my life
as trucks bear down on me having done a very
average 20 minutes getting home
after midnight thinking god I've missed this
this is what it's all about
this is what I was praying for in lockdown
I miss that man I miss watching pensioners
just whisper to each other
is he really going to say cunt
again? It's just excessive.
It's just excessive.
Got to Bendigo,
went to the Thai restaurant there, had
a dish on the menu called a pad satay.
Doesn't exist. They've just made it up.
They've just bought too much peanut sauce
and gone, let's just chuck that on some rice noodles.
Yeah, they've actually seen
that the two most popular dishes
are like the satay chicken and the pad thai
and go, why don't we fucking just put them together?
Fusion.
Yeah, that's Bendigo Fusion.
Bendigo Fusion.
Yeah, exactly.
This is what travel's all about.
It's what we've missed.
But also, you're about to fly over here, Daniel.
From Ireland. From your hometown of Ireland. Happy St. Patrick's Day for's all about, you know. It's what we've missed. But also, you're about to fly over here, Daniel. From Ireland.
From your hometown of Ireland.
Yeah, happy St. Patrick's Day for the other day, by the way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I hope the capital, Ireland City, I hope it went off over there.
Did you get an extra hour outside to look for four-leaf clovers
and kiss a shamrock or whatever you do?
Yeah.
And that explains why you're very green with envy
over all of our freedom over here as well, Daniel.
Hey, freedom's the only thing
that my people actually fucking love.
We might not want the freedom,
but we claim to love it in movies.
No, but you are about to head over here
and about to do two weeks of quarantine in Australia,
which begs the question,
why didn't we just fucking do it
when you're in quarantine
rather than when you've got freedom now?
I have no idea.
Like, it blew my fucking mind that they were like,
so the Dum Dum Clubs are going to run,
the guys are going to run home after their gigs
for the time difference.
We need you to be in your office at 12.
I'm like, but I'm there in five fucking days.
Does that not make more sense to wait?
But I think... Yeah, didn't want to rock the boat because we did need an episode for the week.
But like, yeah, fucking hell, we're going to wrap this up at like 1230 at night.
I don't know why.
I think it's because my agent is there's nothing else to do.
There's literally it's either this or do more damage to my body.
Yeah, right.
Well, we got told I was corresponding with your tour manager today
who set this up, and he said, oh, Daniel's really excited about doing it
because he's been doing a lot of press for the tour so far,
and he's a bit sick of having to talk to journalists who he doesn't know
who are just asking the same boring questions.
So he's excited to be on the air with you guys.
So let's get straight into it.
Daniel Sloss, where do you get your ideas from?
Oh, boy, man, the amount of fucking dish.
I don't know.
I've had an office built during the pandemic in my garden
because I thought that'll encourage me to, like, work.
If I've got, like, an office space that's separate from my house,
I'll actually, you know, maybe I'll'll write a sitcom maybe i'll write a screenplay
and let me tell you this new masturbatorium is absolutely wonderful
there's a lock on the inside my girlfriend doesn't have a key it's wonderful it's so good
it's it's got frosted windows it didn't have frosted windows to start with but uh
yeah yeah that wall we can see behind you is white.
Shudder to think what colour it was when you first built it.
What is the difference between you jacking off
and writing your own sitcom?
I enjoy jacking off.
There's more character development than jacking off.
Here's the answer.
The BBC has never ruined one of my wanks.
I don't know about that.
I can see that maybe potentially happening.
You know, you're looking at the monitor
and then an ad pops up for, I don't know,
Graham Norton or something.
If you want to start pulling your dick now,
we can give you notes.
I have a question, right? And I'd be no offence no offense by this but look i enjoy being on the podcast but i never listen to it unless i'm on it um absolutely whose cock was it oh right
yes yeah well this is going to be very disappointing because i'll i will be amazed if
you know hang on so it's a you're talking about the last time you were on, we were talking about who the suspects were for the Mars Pega.
Yes.
That was like months and months ago.
So we were all, it was all jazzed up like it could be anyone.
A lot of people were guessing that it might have been you, Daniel Sloss,
and we were going to see an absolute Grand Canyon open up
in Tommy Daslow's butthole, but it was not.
We can rule that out now.
Now, yeah, it was Nick Carr.
There's the look of disappointment on Daniel Slosser's face.
When you said Nick Carr, I got so excited.
Oh, man.
I was like, he fucking what?
He fucking what?
That's the only way we can say it without having to bleep it out later.
We've made up a person with that name.
No, that's legitimately.
You know, we've never talked about that on this show.
With good reason.
We have a friend called that.
And he's from Queensland, which makes me think at least
that his parents deliberately named him that to get away with it.
Yeah.
Because they all want to say it in Queensland.
Just a free pass.
Yeah.
So Nick Carr, comedian from...
Wow, that's very enunciated now, isn't it?
Yeah, now I'm really overthinking it.
Comedian from Brisbane.
He looks like if you plugged a bike pump into Ronald Weasley and just pumped for months just to
expand. But not as funny as that.
I'm
Googling him and
I mean
when you Google someone's name
and it just gives up their Twitter, that's
not a great sign.
And that's not even him!
Instead of did you mean, is it saying,
surely you must have meant...
Did you mean Nick Cody?
We know you Google his name a lot anyway.
So, yeah, you are coming out here to do the two-week quarantine.
Now, we have the other guest on the show is, at this point,
something of a stalwart of the hotel quarantine.
You've just done a stint in New Zealand and one on the way back?
No, I missed on the way back, yes.
Thank Christ, yes.
No, we did two weeks going over to New Zealand.
And, yeah, New Zealand, I think you might be in for a bit of a shit time,
from what I can tell.
Australian quarantine, not so much.
But New Zealand quarantine is like they're all lovely people
and the messages they give you, half of it's in Maori From what I can tell, Australian quarantine, not so much. But New Zealand quarantine is like, they're all lovely people.
And the messages they give you, half of it's in Maori.
And they'd ran Zoom classes and stuff.
And it was a kind of wholesome experience.
We were allowed out of the room like every second hour.
Wow.
In New Zealand quarantine.
But the Australian is not like that?
Apparently not like that, no. Harley Breen, who did the same thing as me, came back and has gone into hotel quarantine.
And is losing his fucking mind. Yeah, he's just in a kind of uh hotel room if you don't have a balcony then yeah where are my fucking mary lessons
so yeah any advice you can impart to uh to sloss based on your recent no no here's here's
here's the real question tom ballard how many wanks do i have to beat your record
like what that's the fucking how many did you get in that's a very good question i had two beds in
the room i had in new zealand so you know you like to do one at each. I like to share it around every day.
The office.
Wow.
You really went on tour.
Not that you'll get this reference, Dom,
but is it kind of like if you're playing with a girl's boobs,
you want to play with both of them equally
in case the other one gets jealous.
You want to make sure you're masturbating in both beds
less the other one.
You're right.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
My brain simply cannot compute this concept.
You, Sloss,
they don't teach the word boob in gay school.
Come on.
You know when you're playing with a girl's boobs
and just masturbating at the same time as well?
How often do you do it?
No, look.
Boobs are for us,
but holes are for you guys.
That's the pact we made when you guys were invented.
Remember?
Yeah, that's the pact Adam made with the snake back in the Gardner bean.
I'll take the arse.
Just the arse for me, thanks.
So you've got two beds, so you've got the workbench and you've got the rec room.
Sure, if you want to mix it up,
if you want to get a little bit kinky and shit,
then you go into the second bed.
That's the nine to five, five days a week,
and then you've got your weekend.
Sure, yes.
Go to the holiday home, bus one out over there.
It's Friday night, I'm going to the club.
I go to the bed next door,
and I'm going to meet meet someone and really get pretty freaking
do you generally have any advice i mean i'm not worried because i've been in lockdown since
fucking january last year like i can easily stay in a room and play computer games the entire time
i think i'll be fine but is there anything you'd is it worth is it worth working out
everyone's like do a workout every day i'm like fucking for who like well yeah i was the same that was the same i was like nah
i'm gonna you know what i'm gonna take a break from the sketch i'm gonna just and then you went
into quarantine yeah i did that about 2005 um and so i'm actually prepared For the pandemic pretty well I've been not exercising for years
You know
Yes
Do whatever
I don't give a shit
Do whatever you like
You little Irish fucker
Yeah I mean
They might let you out
It depends what kind of
There's sometimes you're let out
To walk around the car park
Which makes you feel more crazy than you already are.
Here's the thing I'm interested in.
So did you do like a 12, 14-day quarantine?
Is that how long it goes for?
Yes.
What's the day where you hit the wall?
Oh, great question.
Day 10 for me was like, oh, yeah.
Right.
This is fucked up.
It's just because every day, it is Groundhog Day.
Like every day is literally the same.
Yeah.
The meals come, dinner came at about 5.45.
So you felt like, yeah, this was...
It was like that Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode
where she wakes up in the mental asylum
and there's all a figment of her imagination.
It was like that.
Right, yeah.
Relatable? No.
Carl's favourite show.
I've never seen it.
It's just like everything happens at exactly the same time
and you can't differentiate between the weekends and the weekdays. But yeah, day 10 for me, I was like, yeah, I've got seen it. It's just like everything happens at exactly the same time and you can't differentiate between the weekends and the weekdays.
But yeah, day 10 for me, I was like, yeah, I've got to get out.
Are you going in with a plan, Sloss?
Have you got like a, you know, are you going to finally write that sitcom?
Have you got anything lined up?
No, I'm taking over my Xbox because obviously,
and I'm taking over my computer.
And you know what? I'm just, I've spoken to so over my computer and you know what I'm just
I've spoken to so many people like oh you know it's good
to have like a schedule you wake
up you meditate you do this
shit and I'm just gonna fucking
I'm just gonna slum it I'm just gonna be a
slob who gives a shit
like it's you know I've done it here
I feel like I've really been practicing
here like I've been lying on my ass for fucking
almost fucking 14 months now.
I'll be grand.
I mean, obviously we'll do a podcast halfway through my quarantine
and I'll be going mental.
We have to check in.
We have to check in on a Patreon app or something with you for sure.
They did give us a planner, I remember.
They gave us like a little welcome book and it was a planner
for the two weeks where you could write in your events,
which felt very ambitious to like plan in on day 12.
I'll put in a little activity or some calls and stuff.
Day 13 is when I'm going to be writing all work and no play makes Tom a dumb boy on the walls of the hotel room.
Got to pencil that in now.
You're coming over here, like tommy said to tour all
around the country um we were talking before the podcast how much you're looking forward to
killing it in the gold coast to start with just i am i am looking forward to getting in the gold
coast but just the sense that it doesn't fucking matter if you do badly there like it's such a
perfect place to do your first gig because who gives a literal fuck what they think just emaciated because every bit of fluid has left your body over the last two weeks like
just walking out on stage rail thin just looking at 3 000 people in high-vis uniforms and going
oh well whatever happens happens and also because you're in queensland you can't even
come out with any like oh yeah I've just been in a lockdown.
I've just been in quarantine.
They haven't fucking had shit up there.
Like you can't talk about COVID at all because it doesn't exist in Queensland.
Yeah, they don't care.
Yeah, well, I'm actually, I'm doing my, the day I get out of quarantine, I'm flying to Melbourne to do the project, which I think is the dumbest booking anyone has ever fucking made
which is just like come on and talk about
fucking what? Talk about what
new fetish I fucking lowered myself
to by day 9
like what? Me on
page 88 of Pornhub
being like I can't believe I've done it all
this is horrific
By the way look forward to this then Daniel
because I work for the project
and I know exactly what's about to happen.
What will happen is you'll come out of quarantine,
you'll fly to Melbourne to do this TV show live,
and what happens is they don't allow four people,
four or five people at the desk.
What they will do is you'll be in the same studio as them,
but in a separate tiny little room.
You'll be put into another form of quarantine.
Those fucking assholes.
You'll be literally like 20 metres away from them,
but in a separate tiny little fucking phone booth.
You won't even be on the desk,
meaning you could absolutely zoom it in from the Gold Coast
if you really fucking wanted to.
They're going to make you fly down and not even be
at the desk. That's sick.
They must hate you.
Not as much as I'm about to hate them.
It comes back to this. You know what?
Because they do that with every guest now. They're not allowed
to be in the same room as the host
which means we...
Sorry, that's my alarm going off.
Which means we are still...
Tommy and I are still the last remaining guests
that they allowed at the desk.
Yeah.
Back in March last year.
2020, yeah.
We were the last guests at the desk.
So that should be your aim.
Break out of that fucking little room,
jump onto the desk and break our record.
And just shit in front of Tommy.
And wear a fucking dum-dum club t-shirt.
You'll just be on there like real flat,
just like, I've got nothing to talk about, guys.
Like, I've just been in a room for two weeks.
Like, if you want to hear me all pumped up
on the way into quarantine,
listen to this episode of the little dum-dum club
that I did before I got on the plane.
That's when you should have gotten me on the way in.
Can we make it clear that, like,
are you taking up a place in quarantine of like a repatriated australian because that is a very hot topic
here there are like 30 000 australians trapped has been trapped overseas for about 14 months
yeah let me ask you a fucking question can any of those can any of those expatriated australians
earn as much money as i'm about to pay into your fucking tax system? No. They're a bunch of fucking
bartenders and they'll do
fuck all for your economy.
I mean,
they're also citizens, but sure.
They were citizens.
No, he's right. He's going to come.
He's going to deposit a big old pot of gold into the
Australian economy.
I was going to say,
how fortunate you are.
It truly is the luck of the Irish.
We should also make it clear, Daniel's not the only international
appearing at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
Geoff Green from the UK will also be appearing.
Yes, Arch Barker.
Arch Barker's doing his quarantine right now as well.
Fantastic that they got the exemption of coming out.
Arch Barker's allowed to come in from Richmond.
Yeah, a few people dusting off the old brackets when they've never used it before.
How many generations back are you allowed to go?
Because my great-great-grandfather was from England.
Can I put the old brackets E-N-G behind my name?
Oh man, why aren't I doing Italy?
We started the lockdown.
We had the army trucks, like, dragging away bodies in the streets.
But now here I am, folks.
I got on the plane.
Mamma mia.
Just Kevin Crepignery in brackets Africa eventually.
Oh, God.
That's not bad.
Where are you planning to move to after the festival?
Tommy Dasolo, brackets USA.
Oh, I wonder if you could take up citizenship in another country from here
just to get the brackets next to your name in the comedy festival.
Well, that is a thing that, Pete, can't you...
Aren't there...
Sorry to break character just for a moment's loss,
but isn't there a thing in Scotland where you can buy
like a tiny little patch of land and get like a deed to it
or like a...
Not quite a citizenship, but you can get like a deed to it or like a, not quite a citizenship,
but you can get like a Lordship or something.
Yeah.
It's a bullshit lie.
We made up to scam Americans.
We're like,
you're a Lord's now.
They're like,
Oh wow.
Oh my God. I'm going to use that title.
And then they fuck off,
you know,
they're like,
you have to call me Lord.
Now it's an absolute lie.
Yeah.
But getting one of them and then being able to put brackets Scotland
after your name
because you've become a Lord.
But put Lord in brackets
before your name as well.
Brackets Lord,
end brackets Carl Chandler,
brackets Scotland.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, at least
call me Lord Comedy.
So yeah, look, I hope you don't go, I hope you don't absolutely lose your mind in there. so yeah
I look
yeah I hope you
I hope you don't go
hope you don't
absolutely lose your
well we
given that you
like we said before
you are flying in
from Britain
to
to do
to clean up
to come and
be one of the
few people
in the world
that can fucking
outside Australia
that can be a comedian
and make money
we did have
our our grand friend Russell Howard come out here
and tour the country, and he was good enough to get us
to open for him in every show in Melbourne,
which I presume is now the law for big names from England
to come out and do.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
I'm going to phone Russell first and find out how you both did.
Like just phoning him up he's like Sloss long time no hear Russell
cut the shit did he do the duck sandwich
did he do the fucking duck sandwich
how much can I fucking trust
this guy
did you do duck sandwich
really
as one listener that was there
then put into
our Facebook group
he fucked it up
as well
how did you
fuck it up
I don't know
I got excited
I got excited
to do
to hear
and perform
one of the classics
exactly
I was very nervous
in the presence
of a great
yeah yeah
oh look I've got
the best seat
in the house
for this one I can't believe I'm right here in the presence of a great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, look, I've got the best seat in the house for this one.
I can't believe I'm right here in front of the great joke.
We've all enjoyed having Duck Sandwich in our ears,
but imagine it coming out of your own mouth.
Wow.
Just new sensations for Duck Sandwich to manifest itself in my body.
Well, yeah, Slossy, we're happy to open for you here.
If you play your cards right,
we can put you in touch with Nick Carr for the Gold Coast gig.
Just so you can introduce him.
If you're worried about being rusty,
he'll certainly make you look good.
And now that we have a plaster cast of his dick as well,
there is absolutely no competition for you either there.
Great.
And that's my number one thing for my support acts.
Before they go on stage, I measure their dick.
And if it's even within a fucking inch of mine,
it's not happening.
It's not on.
Well, you're in...
Sloss, I don't know if you've been across
what's been happening culturally since about 2017,
but that kind of thing is not, not smiled upon anymore.
Oh,
really?
Well,
to be fair,
we didn't realize either.
So imagine that being Louis CK's defense.
I was just wanting to compare size.
Yeah.
It's a,
it's a law I made for my support acts in 2016.
So like,
you know,
it was a different time.
Yes,
exactly.
Exactly.
Um,
you are,
you are in Melbourne in time.
Hopefully we catch you in Melbourne because you're a busy man.
You get to play these – you're a bit beyond us now.
You get to play these big theatres and we're still in the small-time venues.
But hopefully we get to catch up IRL.
And you fucked up Duck Sandwich in front of 1,300 people.
Yeah, yeah.
That's not a small crowd.
Well, that's what I mean.
I won't be back.
That's not a small crowd.
Well, that's what I mean.
I won't be back.
But hopefully we'll get to see you.
You've made a couple of legendary appearances at the infamous Drunk Cast.
And to be honest, that's how I identified
when I thought the coupling of Tom Ballard and Daniel Soss,
you two made out at one of the Drunk Cast ones.
One of the absolute highlights of any drunk cast, I thought.
I mean, I get told what I've done at drunk cast later on.
I'm like, oh, yeah, I do remember that.
Yeah, we did kiss for a fair time.
I've gotten my cock out so many times at that.
Yes.
I believe you're wearing a kilt at one
and my head somehow wackily ended up underneath that at some point.
Somehow wackily.
It's a mystery.
Again, this is pre-2017.
I don't blame Ballard.
I think he just got sucked into the orbit of it.
It's got its own gravity, yeah.
He can't of it. It's got its own gravity, yeah. You can't help it.
Husey's behind you dressed as a construction worker
going, that's not appropriate, Tom.
Get your head out of there.
That thing looks angry.
That thing opened a packet of Daniel Flotheth kilt.
The snake spat at me.
I thought there were no snakes in Ireland.
This is crazy.
I thought there were no snakes in Ireland this is crazy
but yeah have you been
thinking about that little smooch
in the cold Irish nights
trying to sleep
well it's man there are
there are at least
three or four photos of me
kissing men
online while drunk
and like for it it's enough to make my photos of me kissing men online while drunk.
It's enough to make my fiancé go,
why when I type in
Daniel Sloss kissing is the first result
not a woman? Not that that would
make me happier. It's just a
question I have for you.
Also, by the way, Ballard is looking that up right now.
I'm just saving it for later.
He's made it in his wallpaper.
Wow.
Just to see if it's you.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, gee whiz.
I sure hope so.
That's good.
Yeah.
Daniel Sloss.
I'm pretty sure I've also kissed Cody on one of them.
On and off it?
Who knows?
Yeah, that might have just been us.
That might have just been on tour at some point.
That might have been a dream.
Top result is a piece that you wrote for the City Running Herald
called What I Know About Women with comedian Daniel Slott.
Oh, and it's a very short article.
Yeah, it's got a picture of you kissing a man,
which doesn't bode well.
Short interview, this one.
Don't really know much at all.
It just says
they have two boobs here.
And you've got to treat them
both equally.
You've got to treat them...
Yeah.
Was your manager right?
Was the question
what was it like
to kiss Tom Ballard?
Has that been
an obvious question
with all of your other press junkies in the interview so far? It's the number... Do you get nervous up there? what was it like to kiss Tom Ballard? Has that been an obvious question with all of your other press junkies
in the interview so far?
Do you get nervous up there?
What was it like?
How did you get your idea of kissing Tom Ballard?
Who's been the best of the male comedians that you've kissed?
Who's been the best snog that you've had?
Wow, okay.
Good question.
It's hard to remember, I guess.
It is hard to remember, but
none of them have been bad.
I just like...
Kissing men is very different to kissing women.
And I think that's why I like to
check every now and again just to see
if I've upgraded to
gay.
Just if I've
leveled up.
No, no, I still
slum it with the broads.
I thought it was a
very good cassette. A very good cassette.
Thank you very much, Daniel.
I can't recall making out with you at all.
You're just another
hoe in my book, kid.
You talk about here
in this article.
Bella's got his head
up a kilt fucking
three times a day.
He can't.
He doesn't have a record
of all of them.
Oh, kissing your cock
was incredible.
That was an absolute joy.
You write about your
first kiss in this article.
My first kiss happened
while playing a stupid game
called Kiss, Cuddle, Torture
when I was 10.
My first real kiss
happened with my girlfriend
Heather at 13. We went out for three months and it was awkward i was always scared
of rejection or getting it wrong so i didn't encourage the kissing part we kissed in her
backyard i was terrible at it yeah oh true what yeah do you guys have that game over did that
the game kiss cuddle torture did you play that when you were kids certainly not the torture bit no no
that's what does that mean so there was a you played it like when you were like pre-teen it
was like a primary school game um and it was boys versus girl and it was like just like tag you had
to catch someone but if you caught so the boys would chase the girls or the girls would chase
the boys so you catch a girl and you go kiss cuddle or torture and they have to pick one of those things now kiss is obviously a kiss but you're nine so nobody chooses nine nobody's a
pervert at that age everyone's terrified then you've got cuddle which is like an awkward embrace
or torture which is you just fucking kick him in the shins or punch him in the arm and then
and it was a game all across Scotland for some reason
I think they call it like Kiss Chase in England
it's only when you get older that you're like
I mean that probably wasn't the best message we were spreading
like you know
Do you feel a bit
would you rethink your answer to that question
now that you know that we don't have that game in Australia
because now you're in print in the Sydney Morning Herald
just go I played this game where we torture young girls
I was who I was and I am who I am print in the Sydney Morning Herald just go, I played this game where we torture young girls.
I was who I was and I am who I am.
Well, yeah, hopefully you can come slum it with us at the Drunk Cast this year.
What date is it on?
Yeah, we've got a few hot young pieces lined up for you
to have a big old slum roll over right there on the stage.
If we just turn this into Man O' Man,
and we just go looking for hot men,
not even in comedy,
for Sloss to have his rocks off with up there on the stage.
Just Sloss kissing men and then pushing them off the stage,
into the crowd.
Yeah, and we've got a little inflatable pool at the base of it.
They kiss Sloss, they fall off, they crowd surf out the venue.
Yeah, exactly.
Great, great. So Sloss, yeah, you've they crowd surf out the venue. Yeah, exactly. Great.
So Sloss, you've done so many amazing things, of course.
You've had the specials on Netflix, you've done Conan a record number of times or something,
the special on HBO, you were on Graham Norton recently.
And so that's why it's curious to me that as of not that long ago,
you've now lowered and embarrassed yourself by getting onto Patreon and begging people for their money.
Oh!
Like what we do.
Really?
Well, well, well.
Now undignified.
Look who's come crawling back.
In my defence, somebody's begging on my behalf.
Suck shit.
This is you.
Yeah.
Oh, man. No, this pandemic's lowered me to a lot of things i'm also on
twitch and none of it's gone well none of it's gone well right what do you play on twitch um
i just get drunk i just drink and then run so you don't even play video games you just sit there and
get drunk yeah yeah and it's like enough that i enough that i know my therapist is tuned into
one episode and he's like is that the healthiest way to deal with this?
And I'm like, well, shut up and sup, cunt.
Like, I pay you.
This is not one of the times I pay you for your fucking opinion.
Stay in your lane.
Yeah, if you're going to pipe up, hurry up and fucking fix this.
Yeah, I had my therapist once ages ago say to me,
like, oh, maybe I'll come to one of your shows.
And I was like, oh, look, by all means,
but you've got to promise to be off the clock.
I don't want any feedback after the gig.
I don't want a deep read on the material
or the mindset that's behind it.
My therapist will not watch my stand-up,
and it fucking kills me, man.
Like, he's like...
Because when I went to him,
I was in just a fucking, like, shit place
with touring and everything.
And I was just like, look,
things have just, like, blown up for me recently
and I'm not handling well.
Like, I'm really bad at dealing with it.
And he was like, okay,
well, just keep it sort of fair and balanced between us.
You know, I've never heard of you before. And I'm like, okay, well, rude keep it sort of fair and balanced between us. You know, I've never heard of you before.
And I'm like, okay, well, rude, first of all.
Like, I know you're Dutch, but I do play Amsterdam.
So fucking rain that in immediately.
And ever since then, he's like, I won't watch your stuff just so we can have, you know, this relationship.
And there's times during therapy when I make him laugh.
And I know that's not the goal, but it absolutely is the fucking goal.
And he's like, you're really funny.
And I'm like, watch my fucking stand-up, man.
Like, I need you to understand you're in the presence of greatness.
He loves his wife.
He doesn't want to get divorced.
That's fair enough.
Exactly. You're like, what's that biblical figure? If you turn around and look at it, you turn get divorced. That's fair enough. Exactly.
You're like, what's that biblical figure?
If you turn around and look at it, you turn to stone.
Medusa.
As soon as you do five minutes, there's a million fucking couples breaking up according to your special.
You're Medusa.
Instead of the snakes on the head, it's the snakes somewhere else.
If he starts giving you a review or a star rating for your sessions that
i think you should be worried about his mental health he gets he gets very excited uh when i
swear right so clearly he works like he works with a lot of drug addicts and i don't know
why he works with me as well but he works with a lot of drug addicts
and there's just so many times when i'll just you know I'll be in fucking and I'm running about
shit that annoys me it's upset me no fuck this fuck that cunt this and he's Dutch and he whenever
he quotes me he gets such a little smirk in his face because he's just like so Daniel it's like
when you say you get so fucking angry and I can say this because you swear. You get so fucking pissed off. And I'm like, this is the most,
just a 45-year-old man with a degree,
thrilled that he can say the word cunt at work.
Yeah.
And that same man watching you on Twitch,
like you're there, blind, drunk, crying about your family,
and he's just logging on going, this is poggers.
That's bizarre.
Well,
Slosh,
you're going to miss out on this.
You'll be in Melbourne
for the last couple of weeks
or the last week or so.
We're starting
the Comedy Festival
very soon.
We're doing
four live shows
every weekend.
The first weekend we're doing
is coming up very soon
and what we're doing
at the end of the live podcast
is we've come up with this, another dream come true for us. We're doing is coming up very soon and what we're doing at the end of the live podcast is we we've come up with this um another dream come true for us we're we're going to start up
our own pop-up burger restaurant um straight after the gig where we've employed basically a man i met
in a supermarket car park uh about 50 kilometers from my house to come and cook burgers for us
and we're going to rebrand a bar as our pop-up
Dum Dum Burger. This is what we're doing
with our freedoms, Loss.
This is why we sacrificed all last year.
It's a dream come true for us. We're getting into
hospitality.
Finally, my mum's going to be proud of me.
She's going to be able to explain
to her friends what I do for a living.
This is going to look great on my resume when I go for a job at Hungry Jack's. Yeah, she's going to be able to explain to her friends what I do for a living. This is going to look great on my resume when I go for a job at Hungry Jack's.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
So are you making like special burgers named after like guests and stuff?
Well, no, see, that's a very good idea and that's what the plan was.
That was the dream.
Until I talked to the man who's going to be cooking burgers for us
and that we're employing and he just said, no, thanks.
I think I'll just cook the one burger.
I'm like, okay, boss.
No worries.
I mean, we make more or less the same four jokes every week on this show.
So that's not entirely out of the wheelhouse.
Nah, why branch out?
So look, he makes a good burger, but that's the thing.
He's like, no, I think I'll just do this thing.
So I was like, okay, all right, no worries.
But I said, here's the one thing.
Here's the one thing I insist upon.
We're going to do like a happy meal.
We're going to do a Dum Dum Club happy meal.
It's going to be the burger, and the burgers he cooks are great.
But I'm like, right, what I want is the one, two, three.
I want the burger.
I want the – what I love, Sloss, is my favorite form of potato,
which you will appreciate as an Irishman,
is when you slice up the potato pretty thinly
and you put them on the barbecue
and you just grill them and make them a bit brown like that,
you know, like a round sort of thin slice.
I was like, I want, yeah, I want that.
I want that.
I'm just trying to explain crisps to me.
No, there's no crisps.
There's no crisps because they're hot.
They're like
you know flat and hot so anyway what do you call it like slicing a potato and then grilling it on
the barbecue yeah oh man like don't we don't have barbecues in scotland like our barbecues are those
little like single light use things where you can half cook one side of a fucking sausage on and
then you get food poisoning we don't right right yeah
yeah so i i'm only insisting on that i'm like okay we don't get our choice of burgers we were
kind of like we'll have a carl and a tommy one he's like no how about we have meat and cheese
okay no no problem and then so then i go your catchphrase meat and cheese the old double act
hi i'm meat this is my good co-host, Cheese.
And welcome to Buns, Buns, Buns.
Little Bun Bun Club.
I should have said that.
Yes.
Take it back.
Take it back.
We'll do it again.
There we go.
There we go.
There we go.
We'll fix that in post.
So we've got the burger.
Then I'm like, right, we want those hot chips like that.
And then I thought as the drink, you know, right we want those we want those hot chips like that and then and then
we want and then i thought as the drink you know as part of what we do we we can have like a chang
beer like that's a cool little happy meal for us and then he just looks at me and goes all these
hot chips how about this i think this would be funny we'll just get some crisps some sandboy
chips and that can be that that can be the chips
that'll be a funny joke pretty funny i'm like well i guess you know comedy i mean
you're the you're the kind i saw grilling thick onions in a fucking car park in west meadows so
i guess i bow to the the comedy genius i was gonna say you're probably like i don't tell you how to
cook your burgers but i bet you've absolutely is what you're telling me has he listened to the sorry has he listened to the show at all has he
has he consumed i'm not sure he did at one point i think he listened because he found out that he
was getting he got told by someone that he was getting talked about right okay so then he listened
to that bit i believe yeah and he's the laziest chef in the fucking world. Like, literally, any request you've made, and he's like,
no, no, no,
no. I mean, I can't wait
to meet him. We think we're
signal boosting him. I think he just
considers this to be a huge pain in the ass.
Yes, yeah, absolutely.
In the hypothetical world that he would
go ahead and lean into this idea, what kind of meals
are you talking about? Obviously, one like a
slossage hot dog kind of thing.
Yeah, slossage roll.
Yeah, exactly. You'd have the sloss burger which would
just be like a six foot piece of meat.
Yeah. Can we get a bun big enough to
fit a fucking sloss
hoagie in? Jesus Christ.
Yeah, something like that.
A stinky kaffir burger.
A lot of blue cheese on it.
Tons of garlic. Oh, yeah, yeah. A lot of blue cheese on it. Yes, exactly. A lot of blue cheese.
Tons of garlic.
Yeah, yeah.
But what's that Asian fruit, the durian or whatever, that stinks?
Like, hell.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like that in there, too.
What a combo.
Garlic, blue cheese and durian.
Yeah, we could have a Blakey burger, which would just be a cheeseburger, but we'd spell it wrong.
Just the wrong thing
comes out
yeah
yeah
no it's
it's said
it's written on the menu
as burger
yeah
and then someone comes out
and fucks you in the ass
no we meant bugger
oh right
there we go
there we go
we have some
Dave Callan haggis
as well
yeah
we could honour
the Scottish
friends of the show Dave Callan the one, we could honour the Scottish friends of the show, Dave Callan.
The one that we have.
That one single friend of the show we have.
That one Scottish person that we know.
Some haggis in there for him.
But no, meat and cheese is good too.
So did you push back on this?
Or just literally serving sand boys?
Yeah, to be honest, I did.
I let everything else go, but I was like, no, I have to.
I have to insist.
Because the idea was that you would be on the grill doing the potatoes.
Well, was that an idea?
Maybe that was an idea.
I think so, because you say you cook a mean one.
So the idea was that it's you and you doing it.
No, I don't think I do.
I don't think I do.
I actually don't think I do.
I was more like, this guy cooks a good burger.
I've tried to cook these chips a couple of times lately,
and I've fucked them both up royally.
So I'm pretty keen to get a pro in the house.
And so it did get to a stage where he was like,
all right, I'll look at the grill,
and then I'll consider my choices, whether I do it or not.
And then it got to a point where he was like,
maybe I'll just cook them for you to shut you up.
I'm like, well, I could probably accept that as well.
That's great.
So you're just in the party room upstairs by yourself with your own little,
your own little private meal that no one else has access to.
I quite like that.
Little crown,
little paper crown.
It's just literally so he could shut me up.
Yes.
He didn't say that.
Sorry.
So did you literally just fucking meet this man cooking burgers in a car park?
Yeah.
That wasn't a red flag to you that
was a business opportunity no no no we've talked about this on the show but it's literally because
i i i went out there he was in an iga car park with the under the under the guise of like i pop
up everywhere guys i'm just a pop-up burger joint who who knows where i am next week and then the
next three weeks in a row it was the same car park out near the airport.
So I'm like,
I've got to fucking get this guy a good gig somewhere.
Bring him into the city.
Bring him into at least zone one.
Bring him into within 30 kilometers of the Bourke Street Mall,
is what I thought.
So only one meat burger.
That's going to be a real shame
for the two vegetarian listeners that we have.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, unfortunately. Yeah, no, they have requested. We've got a few requests for that. the two vegetarian listeners that we have yeah yeah yeah yeah the uh yeah unfortunately you can
you can yeah no they have requested we've got a few requests for that but um but very excited
still very excited to be part of it'll be the yeah i mean it'll be the next thing that happens
if you listen to this i can't wait till you get fucking sued for food poisoning like mass amounts
of people like it's like that's the that's the thing
that started to get brought up today where i was like i haven't thought forward about this thing
at all yeah don't you i haven't thought anything about this don't you need a fucking license to
sell i'm pretty sure anyone's not just allowed to sell food or is australia still a lawless cowboy
i mean why would anyone be you know scared scared of spreading disease at the moment
in the world
alright guys I've got an early
shift at the wet market out of West Meadows
and I'll be right down there to get on the grill for you
do you know how much you're rubbing this in my
face like I can't go and see
I haven't seen my grandparents in 16
months and you're like I hired
a homeless man from a car park to sell
burgers to strangers
I'm like fuck you and you're like, I hired a homeless man from a car park to sell burgers to strangers.
I'm like, fuck you!
You've got all this freedom in your fucking waist.
Yeah, and I'm spending all of it arguing with men over chips.
What was the last good thing that you did, Sloss?
What was the last activity that you had? I got got to I should say proposing to my girlfriend
but not true
I got to perform
at the
congratulations
thank you
I got to perform
at the Palladium
in London last year
it was at
half capacity
finally
not because of
my own choosing
but because legally
it was enforced
the only way
I could ever
technically sell it out
and that was like
literally about two days after it was fully back into only way I could ever technically sell it out. And that was like literally about two
days after it was fully back into
lockdown. And that was just
it was like the first real gig back because I've
done a bunch of the fucking car
park gigs and the gigs in
people's back garden.
And his...
Carl's ears are burning.
I've been doing those
shit gigs for years.
What were you cooking at that car park I think you did
we've just been fucking locked in
I got to do some gigs in December
that was the last good fun
and then ever since then
it's just been
alcoholism
and
alcoholism and therapy those, alcoholism and therapy.
And those things go hand in hand so well.
I just keep turning up.
He's like, just stop.
I'm like, you're my therapist, not my fucking mum.
Shut your mouth.
When you shay, you need a fucking drink.
And it's okay because you shay that.
Put the drink down you cunt That's some Lawrence Moody Rudy there
You guys aren't doing an impression of Dutch people
You're doing an impression of Lawrence Moody Rudy
Mine was a bit more Sean Connery
How did you propose to your girlfriend?
Tell me everything
Who is this slut?
Oh, well, fuck it.
Why not tell this story on this fucking podcast of all places?
Tom Ballard, please ask me how I met my fiancée.
Oh, I do know this.
You do know this.
I know this too.
I don't.
I can't wait.
Daniel, just out of curiosity, how do you know your fiancée?
How did you meet her?
Oh, she's my ex-girlfriend's younger sister.
Oh, wow.
King, king, king, king.
Fantastic stuff.
I didn't know you were allowed to do that.
Wow.
I got some calls to make.
Wow.
So hang on.
Now, are you allowed to examine the timeline publicly?
Hey, look, look.
They'll never talk again, so sure.
Oh, wow.
Genuinely? Wow.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
So you went out with your ex-girlfriend for how long?
Oh, like I went out with her for about three months,
eight years ago.
We were banging for a bit
and then we were officially in a relationship
for about three months.
We broke up and she immediately got into a relationship
with a guy who she was then with for like, you know, six years.
But basically my girlfriend
came uh my fiance came to a gig in edinburgh and i walked on stage and she was in the front row
and she's very attractive right and that's very weird because my fans are fucking munters like
they are really the fucking dregs of society facially horrible horrible. We wouldn't know anything about this.
Yeah, really ugly creature.
And so having a hot person in my audience,
I was like, holy fucking shit.
And I recognised her, but I couldn't.
We literally do the same thing.
When we do live podcasts, we'll finish the gig and go,
did you see that one person?
What the fuck was going, were they at the wrong gig?
What was happening there?
They had all
their teeth so uh me and my ex we were in we were in we weren't like close friends but we were it
was we were still uh friendly with each other yeah amicable and um this is the one bit where i admit
that i come across as a terrible person and it's only because I genuinely didn't expect
to fall in love with this woman, right?
Great. Turn this up, Tommy.
Don't judge yourself, Daniel.
Just tell us honestly what happened.
It's okay.
There's no judgment here.
I'd love another beer for this next bit.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shall I go and get one?
If you could.
Why do you need another beer, Tommy?
Why do you need it? Why Tommy? Why do you need it?
Why do you share
you need a beer?
Don't go yet.
I need to get this beer.
Okay, okay.
Just hold for one.
What's that, Daniel?
Oh, that's an incredible detail.
That's really funny.
I'm not never
going to get another beer.
They can get another beer
as well.
You know,
this little drink break
for everyone listening.
Carl, you're missing out
on some good shit over here.
One of these cans
from down the bottom.
Yeah, thank you.
There we go.
Yeah, dudes rock.
Dudes rock.
I'm not editing this out.
I want people to know how much fun we have when we get together.
Me and the boys.
Just a couple of boys talking about fucking our ex-girlfriend's sister.
Daniel, do you want one?
Falling in love with my ex-girlfriend's sister.
It's a nice story.
I'm a romantic.
Genuinely, Carl's gotten four beers. It's a nice story. I'm a romantic. Genuinely, Carl's
gotten four beers. It's like he's gotten
one for Daniel.
Just pour it
through the mic. I'll drink it through my headphones.
So I go on stage
and I see this attractive girl
and I'm like, that's new. That's a new experience
at one of my gigs.
And I recognise her but I cannot fucking for the life of me
work out where I recognize her from.
And I start talking to one of our friends who's beside her,
one of the audience interaction bits,
and then it fucking clicks in my head.
And I went, are you my ex-girlfriend's younger sister?
And she went, yeah.
And I'm like, Cara, why the fuck are you in the front row?
She was like, there was no other seats.
We arrived late.
It was the only little lounge there because nobody wants to sit in the front row
because you talk to them.
And I'm like, well, I mean, you've proven that point.
Now that we've got that out of the way, what do you do for a job?
So I do a bit of interaction.
It goes well.
And then after the show, I meet up with her and she's like I'm so sorry I'm like don't apologise
it was funny it made the show a little bit
better gave it one of those unique feelings
and I
took a picture of both of us and I
sent it to her sister
with the caption I'm
going to fuck your sister
oh my god lord
oh my god lord
because I didn't think I was going to right there was no Oh my good lord. Oh my good lord.
Because I didn't think I was
going to, right? There was no
I was like, what's the worst thing
I could say? What's the most evil
caption I could put
with it? But now
to her sister, it looks calculated.
Oh, wow.
Yep.
And we I mean, we sort of, we didn't calculated oh wow and we
I mean we sort of
we did kiss that night
and then her friend yelled at us
she was like what the fuck are you doing that's the stupidest
thing in the entire world you understand
the shit fire this is going to cause
so we're just like don't make us
hornier like don't fucking just
turn it into this
forbidden fucking fruit thing and then and then um
we flirted for a bit and but we just we just kissed and and then and then our sister found
out that we kissed and she freaked the fuck out but at that point she hadn't put her head up your
kilt yet we hadn't got to a tom ballard no no we were not as intimate as me and tom ballard but at this point
just as intimate as me and cody have been at that point
cody base So her sister
found out through evil means
like spying and hacking and whatnot
and then flipped
Or a text message from you
Confess it
She hacked into her own phone and read a caption
Or you turning up to her house and knocking on the door
and rooting her sister in front of her
This is like Tenet.
It's going in reverse.
She gets the information about the event before the event's gone down.
It was not premeditated.
The ultimate gaslighting.
Sending a photo, I'm going to fuck your sister.
And then being like, hey, stop being paranoid.
Don't be a crazy bitch.
Settle down, ASIO.
Women. Am I right, fellas?
So
Her assistant finds out
And it's rightfully, rightfully perturbed
Of course she is
Neither of us are going to pretend
But also, she is in a relationship
With a guy who she's
been with for six fucking years and she lives with him right uh but she still freaks out and she says
to uh cara she's like you can't ever see her again you can't you can't talk to me again all this sort
of stuff and she freaks out tells mom be like you know she's she's fucked my ex-boyfriend and and
my fiance's like we haven't we've literally drunkenly kissed once, I mean we've sent some flirty messages
but beyond, the first time we got yelled
at, we stopped doing it
because we realised it
was wrong, but sister just fully
just
cuts her out, gets
really fucking angry, to the point
where my fiance was just like, well I mean
if I'm being punished
for fucking you
like I'm already punished for fucking you,
like I'm already doing the time at this point. Oh my God.
We might as well.
And then...
Fuck.
And then...
It's all jeopardy.
Yeah, your ex-girlfriend
has really done a lot of groundwork for you there
by doing that.
Fuck, that's amazing.
Yeah, great pre-manning from her.
As I said to her dad
when I re-met her parents,
I'm not a monster for
upgrading my phone, okay?
So why on earth
should I be looked down
upon?
This is some
fucking Air Bud shit.
There's technically nothing in the rules that says you can't
do this, but it still
feels wrong.
Can't kill a dead man.
Wow.
So, yeah, so re-meeting the parents, did she give them the heads up like,
hey, I want you to meet my boyfriend now?
You know, heads up, you're going to feel like you've got fucking deja vu going on here.
Or did she just bring you in cold and then leave them thinking that they were going fucking insane?
Always make a good first impression, Daniel.
I made a great one.
I just hope they remember it from all those years ago.
No, always make a good first impression.
Always do it every time you meet them.
Every time you meet that same family.
Walking up to the mum, you're next.
Well, well. Oh, here the mum, you're next.
Well, well.
Oh, here we go.
Oh, no.
So we kept it, when we were buying, we kept it secret because obviously we didn't want any more shit down the path.
And then we gradually just fell in love over the course of a year
to the point where it was like, you know,
she came out to New York with me and we were like,
well, this is, I mean, we definitely want to be with each other now so she very awkwardly messaged our
parents being like I know you I know that you think this ended 18 months ago but we've been
seeing each other in secret and her parents were thrilled because again when I when me and her
sister broke up we were still friends afterwards I wasn't a bastard to her at any point. I've just been a bastard to her recently.
And her parents, they're so fucking sweet.
They felt so bad that
we felt that we had to hide it from
them. So when I went up to meet them, for one of the
very few times in my life, I've sincerely
been nervous.
And her mum opens up the front
door and gives me a big
hug and just whispers in my ear,
lovely to meet you again.
And then just ever since then,
her dad has just been,
every time I talk,
he just puts his arm around her mum
and is like,
don't even fucking try it, mate.
Don't even fucking try it.
So they've got a great sense of humour about it.
But I guess because they have to.
Could be back.
Yeah.
But their eldest daughter, not so much.
So not coming to the wedding?
Nope.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
So do you, when you were with the older sister,
what was your relationship like with the younger sister back in the day?
Right, so this is where it gets worse.
Oh, I'm so glad I asked that question.
So when my first date with my ex-girlfriend,
her older sister, was up in Aberdeen where they're from.
And she'd messaged me
on Twitter
and we'd agreed
to go on a date.
And she was like,
can I bring someone
to the show as well?
I'm like, of course, of course.
You don't have to take us.
We'll go out afterwards.
Whatever makes you feel
happy and comfortable.
And she brought
her younger sister, Cara.
And I was on tour
with my support act, Kai Humphries. And I was on tour with my support act,
Kai Humphries. And I was like,
can you distract the sister
and, you know, try
and schmooze her while I
schmooze my one? So,
Kai Humphries kissed my
fiance seven years before
I did.
Wow.
Wow. Wow.
What the fuck is this woman's type?
Jesus Christ.
She is truly sick in the head.
Fuck-faced Northerners.
Weird AIDS-ridden Irishmen.
What the hell is she in?
She's got a finger against tans, that's for sure.
She's fairly racist.
It's just white.
The whitest it can get, please.
I want it as white as they can.
The whitest you've got.
How did you propose that,
if you're happy sharing that piece of information?
I told her, say yes or your mum's next.
No.
Well, so during, like, when we first started officially dating i was on tour
on an 18 month tour so we saw each other you know once in new york once when she came out to
melbourne and then occasionally like in a three-day period when i was home and then obviously this
pandemic hit and certainly we've gone polar fucking opposite to seeing each other every day living together and not to be too
fucking sentimental but like i generally would not have been able to get through this lockdown
without her she kept me sane she kept me happy like i think the pandemic being with your partner
was real make or fucking break for a lot of people being so intensely around each other
and it got to january and i was just, you know what? There's fuck all else to do. Like there's nothing to look forward to.
And we've been going on a walk every single day just across our road.
And I had to fucking do the, you had to make the ring online.
Like you've got to talk to some jeweler.
I don't know anything about rings.
And I had my, this is really really shit one of my flatmates is a
really good um cameraman in fact he films all my specials and I said to him look I'm just going to
do a just she doesn't want anything extravagant it's not the type of person she is I just want
to do it on something we go on this walk every day it's where we've been spending most of our
time talking to each other can you hide in the bushes and just like take some photos of the proposal
of a woman yeah and he was like without her knowledge yeah yeah you know like you're used
to doing like all that other you know like all that other work i've had you do for me
just do what we did with her sister. Yeah, yeah.
You remember her.
Except it's in the bushes instead of the change rooms now.
And go.
Was this awkward because you'd sent a text to the older sister a month before saying, I'm going to ask her to marry me?
That never happened.
So I go up to the walk.
I get down on...
I give her a bunch of letters that I drunkenly...
Because I'd been travelling so much the year before,
whenever I was on a plane, I'd write her a love letter,
but I'd never post it.
So I just had this big pile of things of just me declaring my love,
and I hand them to her, and she gets dead excited.
This is so fucking gay, bro.
This is fucking gay, man.
Oh, God, the beautiful poetry of Daniel Sloss
just page after page of
I love your tits
I love your pussy
that is what they say
I'd written them
I only ever wrote them while smashed on airplanes
and I handed
I handed them to her
and I was like look I'm too embarrassed to read these
because I know the state I was in when I handed them to her and I was like, look, I'm too embarrassed to read these because I know the state I was in when I wrote them.
So I think they're romantic.
I think they're kind.
But there you go.
And she goes away to fucking read them.
And she's like, I don't, like, there's so,
like you say cunt nine times in the first three sentences.
In all its
different uses as well.
Fucking hell.
And it's hard to find a word that rhymes
with cunt as well in poetry.
So roses
are red. I love you cunt.
Now tie back your hair because I'm
about to munt.
Get down on one knee and take a punt.
It's raining because it's Scotland, so of course it's raining.
So she turns around to sort of go and read it under a tree
and I get down on one knee and she's just not paying attention.
Like to the point where I'm just in this fucking puddle,
like with the ring out to the point where I just have to yell at her
I'm like Cara can you fucking turn around please
right
oh it's like your sweet poetry all over again
it's also what I say during sex
she's used to it
she heard it in an entirely separate context
you alright pal
fucking turn around
wanna fucking marry me eh she turns around context. You're right, pal. Fucking turn around.
You want to fucking marry me, eh?
She turns around.
She doesn't
say yes, but she takes the ring.
So I take that as a yes.
And then my friend Troy
comes out and takes more photos.
But because she'd gone behind the tree,
the actual photo of me proposing to her is me proposing to a tree like there's no picture of her i just look like i look
like the fucking biggest vegan in the world just being like mother nature will you be mine i know
man has treated you wrong but i'll love you forever and we come and do some more photos and we're walking back
and my friend Troy,
again, I'm not coming across well
at any part of this podcast.
He was just laughing.
I'm like, what's so funny?
He goes, he's like,
I'm very, very happy for you both.
I think you're a great couple
and thanks for letting me be part of it.
But I mean, I did just tell you two days ago
that I'm struggling to get over being dumped.
And I was like, oh, shit.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Like, he just got through a really hard breakup one day.
And I'm like, yeah, all right.
Now that that's over, do you want to come see how it's really fucking done?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nice.
What happened?
Did he watch one of your specials with his girlfriend?
No, I think she watched it without him.
Oh, man.
Oh, wow.
That is a beautiful story.
Well, congratulations.
Yay.
That's exciting stuff.
Fly her out here and have the wedding at the drunk cast.
Man.
It'll be great.
Just the perfect combo.
Like, you know, you get to get married and you've got a great story off the back of it.
Fucking awesome.
And I'm a fucking legend at this point
I mean who
who on earth
who on earth
could have sex
with their ex-girlfriend's
ex-girlfriend's
younger sister
and come out
looking like the good guy
alright well we better
wrap it up for another week
on the little dumb dumb club
Daniel Sloss
Tom Ballard thank you both very much for joining us.
No, thank you.
Sloss, you're touring the country, so you're in every capital city,
I presume, plus more, Gold Coast plus.
You're doing, what, Sydney, Brisbane?
Are you doing Perth?
Yeah, Perth.
I love doing Perth.
Fucking Adelaide.
Oh, boy.
You're slinking back to Adelaide.
Yeah, fucking.
Well, I mean, to be fair, last time I was in Adelaide,
like, they won me back over.
I still don't love it there, but, you know,
they're winning me back one paycheck at a time.
I love how 2020 hasn't changed your attitude to this shitty.
Like, when I was in New Zealand, I did this thing with Bill Bailey,
and he was just, like, so happy to be out of the country,
and just, like, he said, I'm country and just like he said I'm gonna do
a tour while I'm here I haven't done a show
in about two years and I think I'm gonna cry
when I walk out on stage
but you're like fuck it Adelaide
shit
that's not the part
I fucking missed
not even during my
darkest fucking moment
during this pandemic
did I ever think, I'd love to gig in Adelaide.
That'd fucking fix me.
When I think of our shows in Adelaide,
I do think of quarantine already.
So, yeah.
So, yeah, go check out Sloss on Tour all around this country very soon.
You've also got a special on Netflix,
which I believe is directed by Martin Scorsese.
You can look that one up.
Yes, got him one last time on the way out.
Oh, okay, okay.
Check it out.
Bring me a while.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One for the cinephiles out there.
But yeah, you do have the two Netflix specials
and the HBO Max one.
Check all of them out.
Tom Ballard, you have a show starting very soon
at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Yes, I love all the cities that I get to perform in.
I think it's an honour and a privilege of my life to tell jokes.
Well, you just sold an extra two tickets in Adelaide.
Well done.
That puts it up to four.
To be fair, I cancelled my Adelaide run because it wasn't clear when I was going to come back. Oh, the dream. To cancel my Adelaide run
because it wasn't clear
when I was going to come back
oh the dream
to cancel on Adelaide
well done
imagine
yeah I think
Will Anderson replaced me
loser
my show is called
We Are All In This
it starts at the
Melbourne Comedy Festival
and it runs for the whole thing
and it's coming to Sydney
as well for two shows
and we'll be in Brisbane
in August I believe
cool tickets at comedy.com.au
Go check out Timmy Billiards
Guys, thanks very much for
listening and we'll see you next time
See you next!
And they've done it again.
Oh, shit.
2021 is going to be our year.
Yeah.
That was a great one.
Yeah. That was a great one.
Great to have the Sloth Monster back.
Great to have him in absolute peak form.
What a fucking delight of an evening that was.
It was great.
A little midnight session, late night session.
Yeah, would have preferred to do it at any other time
of the day, but something about that
Friday night energy
just really gave it the extra little bit of
sauce, I reckon. A bit of the witching hour
in play, I believe. I think so, yeah.
It was heaps of fun and
would rather have had
that episode recorded around about now
while he's in actual quarantine on our time zone.
But oh well, there's the breaks.
Or even in person, not over Zoom, when he's out of quarantine.
Yeah, but that's what you pay for big management for if you're Sloss.
To get that sort of admin happening where it's really not that convenient for anyone involved.
Yeah, exactly.
But great to have him.
Go and see him.
Go and see Ballard if they're doing
a festival near you
like we both said
at the top
we've got
live Melbourne podcasts
to go and see
March 27
April 3
April 10
April 17
there's the
Drunk Cast
on April 18
heaps of fucking fun
shit planned
and great guests
on top of
the fact that
at the same time
ish we're going to be doing our
live stand-up that is carl chandler uh please call me carl mr comedy was my father heaps and
heaps of jokes like i said up the top love to see you there so get into that and tommy dasolo
meatball um you know a show with a title that is now so far removed from the idea of me saying on
this podcast i'm going to call my next show that yeah feels like that was about six years ago now
i don't even remember that.
No, exactly.
But that could have been last week.
So, yeah, that is happening very, very soon if you're listening to this hot off the presses.
It will have started by the time the next episode of this comes out.
So, yeah, March 30th, 7.30pm, six shows at the Cooper's Inn.
Get on in.
Get on in and see some god damn live stand up comedy
yes and
fucking idiots
whoa
very fair
and of course
Perth
we are now back on sale
yes
we've got very limited tickets left
but our date
we haven't announced the date
the date on the podcast
and that is
it's the 24th of April
yep
it's at 3.30pm
on a Saturday afternoon
we were originally doing a Sunday,
now we're doing a Saturday, which has been met
pretty favourably by people
going, great, now we can get absolutely fuck-eyed
and still wake up the next day
and not have to do anything.
So that's great.
Great stuff. Well, we were at one point
on a long weekend. The first
date of that was on a long weekend,
on a Sunday, so there wasn't that concern. And then it got moved to a Sunday that wasn't a long weekend. The first date of that was on a long weekend on Sunday. So there wasn't that concern
and then it got moved
to a Sunday
that wasn't a long weekend.
So it's back
to where things
first kind of were.
I believe this might be
a long weekend as well.
Yeah, it's Anzac Day weekend.
Yeah, that's right.
Do they have the Anzacs
over in Perth?
Yeah, I don't know.
Do they celebrate it over there?
Do they?
I don't know.
They think they're
a different country over there
so who knows?
Who knows? so there's going
to be heaps of fun
there's a couple
dozen tickets left
per so there's
been a fair bit
of fucking round
and confusion
with all the
move dates
and whatever
so that does
get in the way
sometimes
you know it's a
bit confusing
for everyone out
there but that
is the day
April 24
3.30pm on a
Saturday
three months
almost to the
day since the
initial date
that we had.
Yep.
So, guys, nab those little tickies that are left up, please.
Come on.
Perth always represents.
So, we want to sell out this show.
Make us proud.
Parth.
Great guest confirmed.
Yes.
Yeah.
Meaning fucking no locals.
Yes.
Or maybe.
Maybe.
Well, no. We definitely will have to have a local, won't we?
No, no, no.
I think there's a lot of people.
Oh, really?
Yeah, that's what I've heard in an update.
Oh, okay.
There's been an update.
Great.
Very nice.
Yes.
So we can pick and choose.
So it's going to be heaps of fun.
What else is there, Tommy?
Of course, yeah, if you've got tickets to this weekend as time of recording podcast,
of course, don't forget to – we're having a pop-up.
Planet Westgate.
Yeah.
Finally, we're doing a burger joint that we talked about on this episode, on the main bit.
So that's all very exciting.
I'm dealing with all – I'm dealing – I had a couple of conversations with the big man himself.
Yep.
So, yeah, that's all happening.
I'm excited about that.
I just can't wait.
He's just holding off at the moment about whether he's going to be doing those potato slices or not.
He's just...
Okay.
He's going to inspect the grill tomorrow.
Okay.
Oh, he's going in for a bit of...
He's doing a bit of recon.
Absolutely.
Very nice.
Yes.
And he's requested that I be in there.
I don't know why he needs his handheld to look at a fucking grill.
But anyway, especially when that cunt is fucking huge.
This guy, Leon.
Oh, yeah.
He's like into bodybuilding and stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. common that you see like a lot of like junk food accounts on uh instagram and stuff they're also like mad bodybuilders and stuff as well yeah all right yeah fuck he's fucking massive but anyway
um this will be that'll be heaps of fun so even if you don't have a ticket i think yeah they'll be
they'll be trying to make it available to be uh made for takeaway i believe because i think you
know he's got a bit of a regular burger obsessed sort of a crew there's a bit of a melbourne burger
nerd crew.
I think they're going to be trying to get in as well.
Oh, word's out, is it?
Yeah, well, he's all excited.
He's like, oh, I want to make this.
I'm going to put it on my page and I'm going to do this and do that and whatever.
I'm like, he's like, just make a poster for us and I'll spread exactly what you're going to do.
I'm like, no, no, no, you don't need to spread Planet Westgate and all this shit.
Just you do your own thing.
There'll be enough people there already for just you to cook 50 burgers or whatever. Yeah, Like, just you do your own thing. Yeah. There'll be enough people there already
for just you to cook 50 burgers
or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just do your thing.
Do whatever the fuck you want.
You don't need to be involved.
It's only going to put
your normal people off.
Exactly.
If it's saying,
Planet Westgate,
come here and fucking kill yourself.
I don't know what the fuck.
Seeing our freaks in the window,
no one's going to have an appetite
after that anyway.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, don't stress it, Leon.
Absolutely.
And, hey, the less people that come down, the quicker you can head down to doity's yes do some
fucking sweet reps yes do some romanian deadlifts yes absolutely uh all right is that is that all
our little news that all kind of it for now we had to report on um excited to go into festival
season uh given you know i mean look that's a, that's a nice little general message, I guess,
to put on top of everything, given that, you know,
we all understand what we've gone through in the last year and whatever.
A lot of you guys out there that listen got into our Patreon early on
because you knew that comedians are sort of going to be doing it hard,
so that's your bit to chuck into our art form.
Here's your big chance if you didn't do that, go and see some shows.
So, like we said, you know what our shows are.
We'd love to see you there, those ones.
If not someone else's that are on this show, but mainly ours.
But especially people who are pro comedians and maybe that need the money.
Maybe that need the, if you see that they're not on breakfast radio or they're not on TV
and they're just full-time touring comedians, fucking go on the city.
Go and check them out.
And I think especially at the moment,
I've certainly been noticing this at the gigs,
like people are happy to be doing shows again.
People are generally, comics are generally in a pretty good mood.
They're pretty revved up out there.
So it's a good time to go and see shows, I think.
You're not going to get as much cynicism as you might
at other points in history.
Right.
Comics at large.
Yeah, hey, and also just a tiny little plug for the bullshit that I run.
I run Basement Comedy Club.
Heaps of shows in there.
There's Friends of the Show, there's Dave O'Neill, there's Luke Heggy.
You can go and see them.
Or I've got heaps of little showcase shows that you can find
at melbournecomedy.com.au.
That's like you go and see an emcee in about four or five other comics
so you can see a little showcase thing.
They're all selling well, so just go to that website and find out.
If you want a little sample, if you want to go and see me or Tommy,
plus a friend of the show, plus a showcase, you think,
fucking get into that.
Yeah, get out there.
So, yeah, we mentioned before, of course, the Patreon.
You can get two bonus episodes every week,
including that by the time this is out, one that we've put up,
that we're eagerly waiting
to find out if it's considered to be our masterpiece
or the worst thing we've ever done.
So that's already been out by now.
That's out by now.
So some people listening will know exactly what we're talking about.
But yeah, over 100 episodes on there right now.
Huge catalogue with guests and all that sort of stuff
that you can get into for just $10 a month,
support the show and get a whole bunch of extra content back.
Yeah, if you're one of those guys,
people that get to the end of this episode on a Wednesday
and go, oh, that's all gone for the week,
well, you know what?
Get into the archive.
There's fucking nips in there.
Exactly, yep.
But, of course,
the main thing that you put your little pennies towards
is the chance to be immortalised
in the back end of this episode,
to have your name read out
from the unplanned title alternator
to go into the Hall of Fame, to have your name written
in the stars, so to speak.
And that's what we're going to be doing right now
at this time of...
Look, it's earlier than it was the other night when we were recording
this at 10.30pm. Not by March.
Feels later.
So, yeah, let's crack in and let's
not fuck around. I mean, the normal episode, did that go for long? It went for a bit longer than usual, yeah. So, yeah, let's crack in and let's not fuck around.
I mean, the normal episode, did that go for long?
It went for a bit longer than usual, yeah.
So we don't have to do too long here.
Okay, we don't have to do like the 30, 40, 50 names.
We can cut it a little bit shorter than that.
What I would like to do, I think sometimes it helps with these for, you know, for brevity sometimes can be a good thing.
You know, there was a point where I was saying what ice cream flavour I thought people were.
You mentioned written in the stars,
which kind of kicked something off in my head.
Maybe we should assign some form of star sign
to each of these people.
If they were to be literally written in the stars,
what sort of shape do we think?
Okay.
Is it an existing star sign or a new star sign?
I think we invent one for them is probably more interesting.
Okay, all right.
I like that then.
I don't think I mentioned it on the show,
but I certainly mentioned it on the two bonus episodes
that we did the other night.
I went to Daleswood with my girlfriend
and we were walking around at night.
Of course, you get into the country
and it's clearer out there
so you can actually see the stars.
My girlfriend was like,
oh, look, the saucepan.
One of those people that actually can like,
can you do that?
Do you know what the fucking constellations and shit are?
I wouldn't know where to look and whatever.
I've seen the saucepan before, but like that's the sort of thing that,
you know, your parents tell you at some stage,
especially in the country, I guess, because you can see that
and stuff all the time.
I feel like you kind of learn it when you're five and then it's,
I've never, I'm not boning up on it.
I'm not aware of it.
She's like, oh, there's the fucking this, there's the this, there's the this.
You're walking around at midnight on your bloody phone, mate.
Oh, yeah.
You're heading the phone.
You're not looking.
And you're not like the normal people that are walking around at midnight with their
head up in the sky.
Oh, the Instagram of the stars.
Imagine that.
Just like, yeah, that's how I got into it.
Fucking astrology.
I was just walking.
I was homeless and I was walking around. My phone was flat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I got into fucking astrology. I was just walking. I was homeless and I was walking around.
My phone was flat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I'm just looking in the air all the time.
Yeah.
I'm scrolling the constellations.
Yeah, yeah.
And now I'm an astrologer.
Exactly.
All right.
So let's get into it.
Okay.
All right.
So first cap off the ring.
Thank you very much to everyone that subscribes past and present and even the people that
did it for a month and then complained to me that they didn't have their name read out and then unsubscribed.
Even to them, thank you very much.
Well, we still got, you know, got 10 bucks out of it.
For a tiny little bit.
Something.
It's one meal.
But mainly to the people who have been on board for a long time.
And then especially, in this instance, the newies.
These people.
Welcome.
Welcome aboard.
Welcome to the club.
Yeah.
Welcome to our bank accounts. Yep. Thank you to Patreon subscriber Russell Porter. Welcome aboard. Welcome to the club. Yeah. Welcome to our bank account.
Yep.
Thank you to Patreon subscriber, Russell Porter.
Russell Porter.
Yeah.
Good luck with that one.
I don't, you know, I see that and I don't, I certainly don't think of anything in the
stars.
I think of like, cause you know, when you see them, when it gets explained, when star
signs get explained to you when you're a kid and it'll just be like, here's three dots.
And then you see like the overlay.
Oh yeah. It's like, this is an ox. Yeah. And like long yeah yeah yeah so i'm thinking this would be maybe six stars kind of spread out
and then the overlay is a big fat man oh really yeah i'm just hearing porter and thinking okay
right of course russell portley porter right that's star sign. So it's, so we just say, so like Aries is the ram.
So what is the fat man?
Is it just like, do we assign a, do we say Porteus the fat man?
Porteus the fat man.
Yeah, yeah.
Is that it?
That's good.
Porteus the fat man.
Porteus the fat man.
I was born under the sign of Porteus.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's just some cunt in the air eating a fucking ice cream with his top off.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, so maybe that's the...
So it's like there's one for his head, then there's like eight that make up the circumference
of his huge gut.
Right.
And then there's a couple for the ice cream cone.
There's a couple of sharp angles of the cone.
Yeah, that are the cone, yeah.
Going down his gullet.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, right, right.
Oh, man.
There it is up in the sky.
Yeah, yeah.
Look, little Timmy.
A big fat cunt eating an ice cream. Porteous the fat cunt. Porteous up in the sky. Yeah, yeah. Look, little Timmy. A big fat cunt eating an ice cream.
Porteous the fat cunt.
Porteous the fat cunt.
Yeah, yeah.
What's that?
You were born on October 7th.
Well, yeah.
Yeah, that's you.
That's you up there.
What star sign are you?
Aries.
Mm, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Whatever that means.
Yeah.
One of those great ones where every now and then you read someone go, oh, that means
that, and you're like, okay.
And then they go, no, actually it changed.
We were looking at the sky wrong and now you're not this guy who's always busy.
Now you're someone who loves the fucking garden.
Yeah, that's some bullshit.
Yeah, me and my girlfriend used to be the same one.
And then we split.
And the dividing line, our birthdays are like five days apart.
And the dividing line is like in between our birthdays.
Right.
So I've survived the cut.
I'm still a Virgo.
Right.
I bet you are.
And now she's whatever one,
excuse me,
whatever one comes before that,
Leo or something.
Right, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It makes a real mockery of,
you know,
such a fucking,
you know,
rock solid institution.
Respectable.
Yeah, yeah.
Idiom.
But no,
yeah,
it is,
imagine being like, oh no, actually we read, we read the calendar wrong when you were born.
Your birthday is actually changing now to June the 7th.
You know what a real shame is?
That all horses have the same horoscope.
Yeah.
What is that horoscope?
Yeah, what star sign?
Yeah.
Let me look that up.
It's June 1, isn't it?
Yeah, I don't really Yeah. Yeah. Let me look that up. It's June 1, isn't it? Yeah, I don't really know.
I can Google it.
June 1 star sign.
And I'll look up all horses' birthdays.
Yeah, that is.
So you're a Gemini, if that's right, if I remembered right.
Yep.
Wait, hang on.
All thoroughbred horses celebrate their birthday on the same date
January 1 in the Northern Hemisphere
And August 1 in the Southern Hemisphere
What?
What the fuck's that mean?
So
It's like a real Mother's Day bullshit
Yeah, August 1 marks the standardised birthday for every horse
With Northern Hemisphere celebrating their special day on January 1
They're Leos
Horses are lions
Horses are Leos.
And also, if you're in the Northern Hemisphere
and you're a horse,
you're celebrating your birthday on New Year's Day.
Yeah.
Fuck that.
That's like...
That's devo.
That's like you pulled the plug out of the computer
and just restarted and it's just blinking going,
your birthday is Jan 1.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, fuck.
I had a friend growing up who was a twin
and their birthdays
were December the 25th
and they were like
rotten on it
especially as a kid
where it's all presents
yep
and it's like
they're not getting
double the amount
because you've got to
be a bit of a cunt
you've got to go
right
you know you can say
I'm not getting enough
presents
and your dad's going
no your parents go
no of course
it's not like that
it's you getting
okay well
you put them out and you put the names on each of them.
You tell me which ones are the birthdays and which ones are the Christmas ones.
And as soon as you start to pull that stuff, it's like, good luck.
Or they would always say that you might get a present that was like a little bit bigger
than what you would get for one of them.
But not double.
Not double.
You're getting maybe a 15% bigger gift.
And also, you're a fucking twin. You're already losing it. You're having to share a lot. They're getting maybe a 15% bigger gift. And also, you're fucking twin.
So that's already...
You're already losing it.
You're having to share a lot.
Like, they're getting a video game console.
There you go.
That's for both of you.
Yeah.
All that sort of shit.
So it's like, yeah, you're not really getting much attention at all.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you know, that's what you get for being a freak.
Yeah.
To be fair.
Totally.
Yeah.
Suck it up.
That's what you get if you really wanted your own individual identity.
One of you should have eaten the other one exactly and then fucking clung to the walls
of that uterus for an extra day so you're out there on boxing day yeah absolutely absolutely
yeah because that's funny like having a boxing day birthday is funny yeah where the parents have
to turn it on on christmas yes but then they've also got to have a reserve and ready to roll out
on the next day and you you've got the day off.
Yes.
Yeah.
Definitely guaranteed holiday for your birthday.
Exactly.
Fucking beautiful stuff.
Not too bad.
Lovely, lovely stuff.
Cricket's on?
Great.
Going to the cricket on my birthday?
Yep.
Must be nice.
Getting the little players down there to sing happy birthday for you.
Yeah.
Doing a little guard of honor.
Yep.
Yep.
Happy birthday for you. Yeah. Doing a little guard of honour. Yep. Happy birthday
to you.
That would be pretty funny
to try and instead of
getting a Mexican wave going
getting a whole stadium
happy birthday going
to see if you could get
the people playing
whatever sport it is
down there to join in.
If you made that your goal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You do that
the cricket about
3.30 on Boxing Day.
I reckon you'd get it.
People are fucking sideways by then.
Yeah.
Just people stacking.
People have done the way.
People have stacked all the cups together.
Yeah.
What else?
Happy birthday.
I know this one.
Getting like a Mexican happy birthday going where it's like you started and then the row
of people next to you, then they started.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, so it's sort of out of sync, but it circles its way around the stadium back to you.
Imagine you standing up at 3.30 on Boxing Day and going,
Hey, it's this bloke's birthday and his name is Cunt.
Hit it, boys.
Good stuff.
They would love it.
I'd be a lot more into going to sports if that was guaranteed to happen every time I went.
Yeah, yeah.
Behaviour like that.
Oh, I might have a crack at that next time.
All right.
Well, thanks, heaps.
Big fat cunt Porter.
Yeah. Porteous the fat cunt, heaps big fat cunt Porter.
Porteous the fat cunt.
Porteous the fat cunt.
Yeah, good luck.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Timothy Glennon.
What a jarring name.
Yeah, this starts out to be like a wet rag.
Tim Glennon. Glennon just sounds damp. You know, like you're holding like a wet rag. Tip Glennon.
Glennon just sounds damp.
You know, like you're holding like a Chucks.
You know, have you ever had like a Chucks in the sink that you've just had in there for too long?
And it's got like bits of, you know, food grot on it
and it's all like just sloppy.
I will go one further.
I reckon even worse, it'll apply to this,
is that sloppy half of it and then the other half.
It's just been so old and that's dry, but it's like crusty and just like solid.
Yeah.
Absolutely solid.
Yeah.
So that's what it is.
Half of two shit things, I reckon.
So it's sort of in the stars.
People at home won't be able to see this, but it's kind of three that are just flat,
that are in a straight line, and then a little droop.
A droop.
Four that have a little droop hanging down.
Right, like a little curve, like a little bell curve.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A little bell curve.
So one part stiff, and then one part just sod and sloppy wet round.
The hard bit on the top of the sink, and then the sloppy bit hanging into the sink.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
And what would that be called?
That'd be called...
So we had...
The bin rat.
Porteous the fat cunt.
It should be in the bin.
Oh, what's the name of it?
Yeah.
I feel like we should kind of...
We should sort of use the name in there a little bit if we can.
Yeah.
The name should influence the name of the star sign.
Yeah.
So Glennon. So Timothy Glennon. I think Glennon's influence the name of the star sign. Yeah. So Glennon.
So Timothy Glennon.
I think Glennon's inspired
the disgust that we're having.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
Glenn the Rag.
Glenn the Rag.
Okay.
I like that.
Glenn the Rag.
Glenn the Rag.
That's good.
Porteous the Fat Cunt
and Glenn the Rag.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm not sure about this boy.
I met him,
but I don't know about his star sign
what is he
Glenn the Rag
Glenn the Rag
oh no
you guys are fire
you guys are fire and ice
it's not going to work
I mean you're
you're Porteous the Fat Cunt
well if you're like
my girlfriend
you know
you've spent your whole life
as Porteous the Fat Cunt
and then they go
oh it's changed
and you're like
thank god
I'm not going to be
Porteous the Fat Cunt anymore
what am I now oh I'm not going to be Porteous the Fat Cunt anymore. What am I now?
Oh, I'm Glenn the Rag.
Fuck.
I can't win.
Yeah.
Oh, man, I've said this years ago, but it still sticks in my mind that when I first started going out with my now wife,
she was told by someone at her work that our two star signs didn't align.
Weren't compatible.
Yeah, and she was she was
giving relationship advice um from from it was given to her from her astrologer uh from her
her workmates astrologer so it wasn't coming from her she i think she'd gone to she'd gone to
astrologer to talk about her friend from work right yeah that's awesome yeah but I'm like, okay, and I'm getting told that from my girlfriend.
I'm like, who fucking cares?
Like, who's this person, this astrologer?
It's like a bit of fucking Chinese whispers at this point coming from someone from someone.
Who's this astrologer?
And she's like, oh, she lives in a cave.
Wow.
Oh, okay.
Now I'm getting fucking, you know, a there's a chance i'm gonna get dumped
because of advice from a woman who lives in a fucking cave no well i think that's i think it's
the opposite it's like if you're gonna trust any astrologer it's like that's a diehard that's like
someone who's like really like you don't need anything man all you need is the stars and the
earth and the environment like someone who's like oh no they work at maccas during the day and they
do a bit of astrology
on the side.
No.
That's less legitimate.
No, the opposite
because I'm getting cock-blocked
from someone
whose fucking understanding
of the stars
has led them to live
in a fucking cave.
Yeah.
Well done.
They've ignored everything
that happened after
Fred Flintstone
and now.
Yeah.
They've just fucking done...
If you're listening to astrology,
I'm going to...
Whatever you say,
I'm going to do the opposite
because she's getting...
She was doing readings and they'd be like, oh, do you want money?
It's like, well, what does a fucking cave woman need money for?
So they would just give her things to decorate the cave with.
Yeah, yeah, shells and stuff.
You've got to ask your wife if you can...
I want to go see this astrologist.
Oh, they've got to be dead by now.
See if you can get the details of which cave this is.
They're still in a cave 10 years later.
Putting a specific cave
into Google Maps
to put into the sat-nav
to drive out there.
Well, I'll tell you what,
there's one thing.
If you live in a cave,
you've got a good view
of the stars,
so maybe that's it.
That's what I mean.
That's exactly it.
Maybe they weren't
into the stars,
but just by giving
where they lived,
every day they're just
looking up going,
well, I might as well
fucking learn a bit about this.
I mean, that's all I've got.
I really do think it's really impressive
if it's like they've got an interest
and it's like there's, you know,
it's like a lot of things.
It's like stand-up.
You know, you've got to immerse yourself in it.
You've got to watch and listen to as much as you can.
Go and see as much of it as you can.
Do as much of it as you can.
It's like I can't just be thinking about the stars
for half an hour a day.
If I'm serious about this,
I've got to be sleeping under them every night. I've got to have that clear view. I can't be be thinking about the stars for half an hour a day. If I'm serious about this, I've got to be sleeping under them every night.
I've got to have that clear view.
I can't be living in the city where you can't see them because of pollution.
What kind of astrology would I do?
I've got to be out in the woods in a cave just really getting the HD 4K view of the stars.
Don't just YouTube them.
Get out and see them.
Go and see live astrology.
Get out there.
Support live astrology.
Well, thanks, Glenn the Rag. Go and see live astrology. Yeah. Get out there. Yeah. Support. Support live astrology. Support live astrology.
Yeah.
Well, thanks Glenn the Rag.
Thanks Glenn the Rag.
Yeah.
You know what?
I'm going to ask my wife.
I'm going to ask her and say a name about that.
Whatever happened to her. Yeah.
Whatever happened to Cave Bitch.
Whatever happened to Barney.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Whatever happened to Wilma.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Elise Faulkner.
Don't mind the last name Faulkner.
Really?
Yeah, I have very fond...
Reminds me of a bit of a grub I went to school with, so not for me.
Oh, it reminds me of a big park near here that I used to get taken to quite a lot as a little child.
I remember going to the...
They had like a little kind of cafe in there
and they sold the Freddos with the strawberry in the middle.
Oh, yeah.
I was quite enamored with them.
Yeah.
That was my treat.
We'd go to the park, have a little run around, get a little strawberry Freddo.
I bought them for Blanket the other day and had to throw them out because she just wanted
to eat them nonstop.
That was it.
Really?
Yeah.
She just discovered sugar and I'm like, this is a horrible precedent.
So they had to go in the bin.
I was a bit like that.
They went in the bin?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you know me with ice creams and everything.
It's like, get this out of the house.
But I thought that would be great for you.
It's like, I've got to, I've now, if I don't want my child to be eating these, I've just
got to polish the whole, saying that you've got the greatest excuse for don't say her
name.
Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm just going to have to polish all these off by myself. No. I'm not got to polish the whole... You've got the greatest excuse for don't say her name.
I'm sorry I'm just going to have to polish all these off by myself.
I didn't want that kid to get a sugar addiction.
But I also know me well that I will do that and I'm thinking I don't want to do that.
So they need to go in the bin.
They need to get the fuck out.
Or they're gone.
Not good for either of us.
But at least forked him. What's it giving you in terms of...
Are you looking at the... Are you listening to the phonetics of the name?
Is it inspiring little ball points in the sky?
I mean, that park is such a staple of my childhood
that it is really hard to let go of that.
So based on the fact that her name reminds me of a park,
I think that Elise's star sign should be two dogs fucking.
Oh, right.
Yeah, okay.
Or at least some dogging in a park. Yeah. Oh, that. Yeah, okay. Or at least some dogging.
Yes, exactly.
In a park.
Yeah.
So, oh, that's easy.
You know what that is.
That's, let's say it's more public park rooting.
Okay.
Forksy the dogger.
Yeah, yeah.
And that's obviously like the classic graffiti
of like a couple of straight lines with the bell end
and then a couple of buttocks.
Okay.
Yeah.
So there's like a three star curve of buttocks.
Yep.
And then the bell end and a couple of dots that way.
Some real public toilet graffiti, but in the sky.
In the sky.
Yeah.
So Elise's star sign is a dick going into a bottom.
Yes.
Absolutely.
And because that's in the sky, that's public.
Yes.
So that is, and by you looking up at the sky, you are effectively dogging.
Yes.
Because you're watching that happen.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
Faulkner the Falker.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What do you think?
Yeah.
I like it.
Yeah, yeah.
Falksy.
Yeah.
That'd be the star sign you want.
You know, you don't want Porteous the fat cunt.
You know, you're in the school ground.
Oh, what are you?
When were you born?
Oh, you want the fucker.
Yeah.
You want the dick in the sky.
Porteous the fat cunt, Glenn the rag, or Forksy, or Fork, what?
Faulkner the forker.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, look, if I had to pick, I'd pick the dick going into the ass.
Yeah, yeah. And. Yeah. Look, if I had to pick, I'd pick the dick going into the ass. Yeah.
Yeah.
And as for the star signs.
Elise, what do you think of that as a name?
Yeah.
Me, personally.
I don't mind it.
I've got nothing against it.
I quite like it.
And also, I don't see it enough to know anyone that I don't like.
It's a rare one.
It's a rare one.
And I think I maybe only have ever met one Elise in my life.
I reckon it's a bit of a...
It feels like a little bit of an older name,
but it also is enough of a different name that I...
If I was like...
If I met an Elise, I'd be like,
clean slate here.
I don't really know what to think.
And I quite like that.
Yeah.
No prejudgments on an Elise.
If anything...
That's an interesting thing to say to someone. They introduce themselves no pre-judgments on an elise if anything that's an interesting thing
to say to someone they introduce themselves and you go cards on the table i've never known someone
with this name before yeah so whatever you're like yes that is going to affect my view of the
name forever so look the pressure's on because i might meet an elise down the line who might be
great and if you've cunted me yeah i'm not going to give them a chance. And, you know, now that you've said it, you know,
the bell's gone off in my head.
I don't mind it.
Good work.
Good name.
You know what?
Maybe this is a baby name for me down the track.
But if you fuck me, fuck me up.
Yep.
Bang.
That's it.
Line through that name forever.
I'm going to start doing that.
Yeah.
I'm going to start being more honest with people.
Like, look, I've got to be honest.
I've got no real affiliation with this name one way or the other.
So this is in your hands.
This is an audition.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, if someone said that to me, first of all, I'd go, you're fucking insane.
Yeah.
You've never met a Tommy?
You've never met a Tom before.
All right.
I've never met a Gaslow.
Because it doesn't exist as a name but uh it
really would put me on my best behavior i'd really be thinking like i i can't fuck up a whole you'd
be representing people yeah exactly yeah you'd be doing that thing where like when you're on film
where you're like going fuck how do i walk again you know you'd be like fuck how do i how am i
gonna act i'm representing a you know what do you reckon tommy is that'd be like, fuck, how am I going to act? I'm representing a... What do you reckon Tommy is?
That'd be interesting.
Tom is a name.
Thomas, Tommy, Tom.
What do you reckon the population of the world,
what percentage of the world has that name?
Has some form of Thomas?
Yes.
It's pretty common.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'd say it's...
I mean, I'd say...
Although, yeah, I mean say it's i mean i'd say i wrote more although yeah i mean it's very it's very common western of course i mean i was gonna say i reckon it's eight percent i don't think so
but it'd be it'd be close it might be close yeah because you look there's a lot of um there's a lot
of china a lot of china there's a lot of china there's a lot of india there's a lot of there's a lot of China a lot of China
there's a lot of China
there's a lot of India
there's a lot of India
yeah
there's a lot of China
yeah
although I'd quite like to meet some
just
just
there's got to be some Chinese people called Tom
that in some way
it's not
they're not adopting the English
name Tom
there's
for some reason
there's a Chinese name called Tom as well yeah you know what I mean they're thought of independently yep adopting the English name Tom. Yeah. For some reason,
there's a Chinese name called Tom as well.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
They're thought of independently.
Yep, yep.
I reckon there would be.
There'd be out there, I think.
There has to be.
Yeah.
It's a pretty easy word to say, Tom.
Tom.
You can do that.
That's fucking,
anyone can make that word up.
No wonder it's around.
Yeah, exactly.
That's a fucking,
my kid could make that word up. Yeah, my kid could have named me.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, I, yeah, I wonder kid could make that name. Yeah, my kid could have named me. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I wonder how we could find that out, if there's any way.
But yeah, I think it'd be up there.
I think it'd be up amongst Sam and John.
I think Tom, Sam and John.
Sam?
I think Sam's pretty common.
You think Sam's in the same ballpark as Tom?
I think so.
Nah.
I've met a very small handful of Sams.
Okay.
I'm basing this at school.
There were as many Sams as Toms.
Wow.
Yeah, there were a lot of Sams.
Nah.
You think in comedy how many Toms there are.
There's plenty.
Well, then Dave, I guess, is the other big one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In comedy at least.
Yes, yes.
But again, I don't really know too many Daves outside of comedy.
Okay. Well, and my own father. He's in comedy. He's in comedy at least but again i don't really know too many days outside of comedy okay well and my own father he's in comedy he's in comedy yeah he produced a comedian he should get a festival pass if that's literally how he introduces himself to people at gigs
oh is he yeah he goes he'll meet people at a show and he'll be like i'm a comedy producer
does he say that yeah yeah fuck yeah and he said that's a good gag
yeah yeah
and I think he
I think he really
had someone going once
I wish I could remember
who it was
and we're like
oh oh
and then
got down the line
and he's like
yeah so what I meant
was I produced
Tommy

Thanks, Elyse.
Thank you very much to Patreon subscriber Ryan
Ferrero.
Ferrero Rocher.
Oh yeah. That's a great man once said.
That's a great man once said.
Ryan Ferrero. A bit of your home country up there in the stars.
I think we grew up next to each other.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
In the town of, in the small little, what, southern?
Oh, yeah.
Where did we say I'm from?
Big Dickier.
The Big Dickier region of Italy.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Very nice.
Nice in the summer. Very nice in the summer. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Very nice. Very nice in the summer.
Very nice in the summer.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
A little bit touristy for me.
Yeah.
A lot of people, a lot of girls and boys wanting to go down there and chase that region.
So, yeah, a bit too popular for me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not for me personally.
No.
I'd rather sit somewhere else in the summer.
Okay.
Like where?
Than, oh, you know, like, what's it up north? It in the summer. Okay. Like where? Than, oh,
you know,
like,
what's it,
what's it up north?
Vagio.
Vagio,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
I quite like it.
Yeah.
I quite like it.
There's,
yeah,
most of the month,
it's pretty nice up there.
Yep.
Yeah,
yeah.
Except for like,
just a few days there.
Yeah,
yeah.
Cool.
Yeah.
Sorry to lead you into that one.
This is real Tim Allen kind of gear we're doing right now.
You know what?
We had a good run there for a while.
It was all pretty good.
And then there's some fuckheads that like listen to this show.
And that's probably their favorite bit of the show right then.
Yeah, that's it.
That's it.
Yeah.
The people that listen for when we slip up and accidentally say something heinous.
Yeah.
And pretty hacky and shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's entertained people who've never heard who aren't really that into comedy,
and that's the first time they've ever heard a fucking dull gag like that.
And then the people who are waiting for us to slip up, that's entertaining.
Exactly, yeah.
The comedy police out there.
But Ron Ferraro, yeah, the star sign.
This is a tricky one.
Is it a bit, would you go a little bit Italian?
Or not?
Feels a bit on the nose.
Well, I mean, you can do it, though.
Oh, that's very true.
Not me.
Then, yeah, it's a big old sloppy pizza pie with some meatballs and, yeah, nice burrata.
Oh, what's a burrata?
Burrata is like the big kind of mound of cheese that, like, you cut into and then it's real,
it's all liquidy inside.
Have you seen that? Oh, okay. Fucking's all liquidy inside. Have you ever seen that?
Okay.
Fucking delicious.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
You know what?
Cheese is a thing like wine I wish I was more into.
I wish I was – you see it all and you go, fuck, that looks awesome.
And then you eat it and you go, oh, it's cheese.
It's sort of a bit weird.
I mean, you don't get all this fancy cheese and then just put it into a sandwich, do you?
I don't know.
No, you get a little sampling.
You get a little smorgasbord.
You get some crackers.
You kind of sit there and you just pick away for an hour or so.
Beautiful stuff.
Maybe I need to sit down and concentrate and do that.
Maybe I should do that.
If you get yourself a good brie, get a burrata.
I mean, if you get a burrata, slice a bit of tomato, get some crackers.
Or like a
or like a caprese salad
in Italy
just slice tomato
and a fucking
big chunk of mozzarella
can we
what about this
can we plan this
now I think we talked about this
on a Patreon episode
let's make worlds collide
can we
after the comedy festival
once we're
once we've
there's a bit of a relief
can we have a night
at your house maybe just throw four of. Can we have a night at your house?
Maybe there's three or four of us and we have a cheese night and we have a few beers.
I know all wine night, but I'm not, again, I'm not into wine.
I'll have a few beers and have some cheese.
And we watch fucking Jackass.
Absolutely not.
Damn.
That'd be good. That'd be good. I am keen to watch the Jackass movies again not. Damn. That'd be good.
That'd be good.
I am keen to watch the Jackass movies again, though.
Yeah, right.
Okay, well, let's do that.
So, we...
So, Ryan Ferraro, he's a...
Are we saying that he's a pizza pie in the sky?
Is that...
When the moon hits your eye.
You know what, that's an easy one,
because then you just count, like,
a couple of big stars in a circle
and then all the little stars in the middle.
Pepperoni.
Yeah, that's your topping.
Yeah, exactly.
And you can imagine that whatever way you want, whatever you fucking want.
Oh, it's like a choose your own adventure star sign.
Yeah, yeah.
You can look at it and you can go, yeah, that's mushroom and that's ham.
Or you can be like, oh, look at all that pepperoni or yeah, whatever you want.
Or little, you know, bits of, little tiny bits of cheese.
Yeah, that's a nice one.
Because then as a parent,
when you're introducing your kid to the star sign,
you just go,
you know what?
You know what that is up there?
What's your favorite topping again?
Pineapple.
Yeah, that's that.
See?
A little child whose favorite topping is pineapple.
Man, I got in a heated argument the other day with Brett Blake.
I saw Brett Blake.
We both had a few beers and we met each...
We didn't on purpose meet each other.
We just ran into each other on the street.
And he'd just been to a pizza shop and he goes...
And I said, oh, I'm on my way there.
And he goes, you can have a piece of mine.
And it was a bit of Hawaiian.
And I went, thank...
Oh, okay.
Thanks.
I'll have that.
Thank you.
Then I picked off the Hawaiian, chucked it on the ground.
He fucking went mental at me. How dare you do that? Fucking blah, blah, blah. I'm like, yeah, I'll have that, thank you. Then I picked off the Hawaiian, chucked it on the ground, and he fucking went mental at me.
How dare you do that?
Fucking blah, blah, blah.
I'm like, yeah, but I don't want that bit.
You gave it to me and I don't want that bit,
and I really appreciate the rest of it,
but I'm not eating the Hawaiian bit if that's okay.
No, fucking how dare you,
fucking you weirdo, fucking blah, blah, blah.
No, that's a commonly held thing
that a lot of people don't want pineapple on pizza.
Yes?
That that's common?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know.
I thought you're sitting there.
I'm like, here we go.
I'm going to get the Tommy Dasso judgment any second here.
You're intently listening, watching.
I'm taking in all the detail.
I mean, I honestly think you're both freaks.
Right.
This is an argument that's happening, what, standing up in the middle of the street while
one of you is holding a pizza box at midnight.
Yeah.
I mean, there's no winners here.
Yeah, yeah.
This is Aliens versus Predator.
I'll take that the draw
because you're so vehement on like,
I was doing the worst thing in the world.
It's like, this is a very,
I'm not Robbins and Caruso here.
It's a very commonly held opinion.
I think I can see where he's coming from though.
If you've got this thing that you really, really love
and you want all of it,
and then one piece of that has gone by someone who wants like 80% of it.
It's like, you're on your way to get a pizza anyway.
Just go and get the pizza.
Don't waste a slice of my good one by not eating all of it.
But again, I didn't ask for his piece.
He volunteered it.
Well, he volunteered it.
That's a different thing.
Here's your thing.
I understand that it's like, oh, he's giving you a present, and then I've just gone, cool,
and just fucking ripped half of it off and chucked it away or whatever.
So I get it.
But also, I'm not going to eat pineapple just so he won't yell at me.
I'll take the yell, and I won't eat the pineapple.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would have been, yeah, to be honest, I would have felt rude picking the pineapple off.
Okay.
So I would have just kind of gripped my teeth and just probably gone and spewed around the corner.
I mean, this is like the lamest argument.
It's like people that go, no, they're potato cakes.
They're scallops.
They're just called different things in different places.
Shut the fuck up.
There honestly is no right or wrong.
The pineapple thing is like
People that vehemently get into it
It's like
Yeah you just like what you like
Yes
It's fine
Yes
It's not for me
Yes
And it is
What I find annoying
Is someone who doesn't like it
That it is ubiquitous enough
That if you're in a group
And you're ordering pizza
And everyone's kind of
You know everyone gets a bit of a say of
Invariably
A Hawaiian ends up in the mix And I always kind of think This is invariably a Hawaiian ends up in the mix.
And I always kind of think this is a shame because there's one in the mix now
that I just absolutely am not interested in.
And that's annoying.
It is popular enough that it's going to be in front of you at some point.
And then all the other ones get taken up.
All the slices are gone and you sort of get tempted.
You're like, I mean, I'm still pretty hungry.
I guess I'll just have a slice of this oh you know what i'm actually a fan of the wine because i relentlessly take the the pineapple
off because once you do that you get a ham pizza a very simple nice a ham pizza is a fucking good
pizza like i'm not i'm not one of these you know i mean i know that's the australian culture of
having fucking 17 things on a pizza but you know, you have Italian proper pizza and it's like one thing on it, two things
on it, whatever it is.
Oh yeah, they're like...
So you take the pineapple off, you've got a fucking sweet ham pizza.
Yeah, I...
Also, what I like about picking the pineapple off is I like the flavour of pineapple.
I like pineapple juice.
Yeah.
So I just don't really like the texture of it.
Yes.
So you take the pineapple off and then you've just got a little bit of residue there.
You're just getting a hint of the flavour on there. I'm with you. Without the like... It's not the taste of it. Yes. So you take the pineapple off and then you've just got, you've got a little bit of residue there. You're just getting a hint
of the flavor on there.
I'm with you.
Without the like,
it's not the taste of it,
it's the texture that's a problem
for me on pizza.
I'm with you.
It's so jarring.
Absolutely with you.
It's like putting fucking,
you know,
it's like putting,
going to like Cold Rock
and putting like gummy bears
in your ice cream.
Absolutely.
It's a clash of texture.
Absolutely.
This might be the only thing
that we've created.
No, absolutely.
And you know what I liken it to as well is the burgers at McDonald's where I always get the sauce out of it.
But people go, well, just order it without the sauce.
But, you know, you wipe the sauce out of it.
You've just got a little bit left.
You've got the sort of, you know, you've made it a little.
You've got a bit of juice here.
You've got a little bit of wetness in the burger instead of when you order it without it. There's fucking nothing in there. Yeah, I mean, that know, you've made it a little, you've got a bit of juice here, you've got a little bit of wetness in the burger, instead of when you order it without it, there's fucking
nothing in there.
Yeah, I mean, that is like, you do look, I've been to Macca's with you, and you look mental
scraping it, but hey, if you're happy to deal with that, then that's on you.
Yeah.
All right, well, thanks, thanks, thanks Ryan the Pizza.
Yeah.
What do we call him?
I think just Ryan the Pizza is fine.
Ryan the Pizza is fine.
Ryan the Pizza. Yeah, yeah the Pizza is fine. Ryan the Pizza.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Fuck.
You know, I thought we were going to do a short one, but we're having so much fun.
But look, all good things must come to an end.
Let's do one more.
Yeah, okay.
And then I've got to go home.
Yeah, it's getting late.
We've been doing so much late night recording lately.
Yeah, we have. A, it's getting late. We've been doing so much late night recording lately. Yeah, we have.

A lot of comedy festival sort of bullshit to do.
So, got to get into that.
Okay.
We've got one more.
Let's see what we do.
Let's just do this one more and let's get the fuck out of here.
