Thank you very much for joining us. My name is Tommy Dasolo. And with me, as always, the other half of the program, I wonder what he's going to say. Carl Chandler! Hey, dickheads! Hooray! The final show of our live run. Are you excited about this one? Man, I'm fucking so excited. Yes!

I've been looking forward to this one so much. You guys don't even know what you're fucking in for. Yeah. He's already taken his clothes off, guys, so get ready in the front row. You're about to get wet. Man, are you... I like to think that other people will get wet, but anyway. Are you looking forward to today? I am,

yeah. I'm excited. This is an exciting show. I've had an interesting week. Final week of the Comedy Festival. I'm sure plenty of you have gone out and seen shows. I was in an Uber the other night and my Uber driver was telling me, he's like, yeah, I went to a show in the Comedy Festival and this came up out of nowhere. I hadn't mentioned that I do comedy or anything like that.

He's like, yeah, I went to a show with my wife and our daughter and, ooh, pretty racy, pretty full on, bit much for us. And I'm thinking, fuck, this is going to be awesome. Like, this is going to be someone that we know and then I can get up here and, like, tell this story and get all the juicy details because I'll get an honest review because he doesn't know I do comedy. And so I'm in the back.

I'm like, oh, what was the show that you went and saw? And he goes, it was called The Quit Review. And for a moment in my head I thought he meant, I didn't know he meant, like, R-E-V-U-E, which is what it is. Right, right, right. I thought he know he meant like R-E-V-U-E, which is what it is. Right, right, right. I thought he meant like R-E-V-I-E-W. Just reviewing. Just a show.

Just reviewing clits for an hour, guys. It's not that different to the other one anyway, really, is it? What he said it was was it's basically like puppetry of the penis. But have you heard about this? They have this puppetry of the penis for women now. Oh, right. Have you heard about this, folks have this puppetry of the penis for women now. Oh, right. Have you heard about this, folks? Tell me more, Mr Leno.

When's International Men's Clit Review Day? I mean, it seems like the scope of the instrument would be a bit limited, don't you reckon? I mean, I... What do you think, Kevin Eubanks? I mean, I personally got a ticket, but then I couldn't find the show. Boom! There we go.

There we go. That's what we meant when we said it's an exciting show. We actually wrote that during the week And that's it Anyone else got any ideas for the rest of the show? Please welcome your guest Nick Capper Three times And even more boring Just Nick Capper dressed as Nick Capper this week

I went and saw Nick Capper's show the other night Round of applause if you've gone to see the Tuxedo Traveller show Alright Fuck I'm wrapped other night. Has anyone, round of applause if you've gone to see the Tuxedo Traveller show? All right. Fuck, I'm wrapped that not that many people are going to see our friend show this year. Fucking, it's usually just us.

I went along to check it out because it's all about the trip that we sent him on for this podcast. Yes. Like we crowdfunded him to go to London the worst way possible. We're in the tuxedo. We are finally his muse for this show. Yeah. We're kind of the dramaturg of his show. We sponsored his show.

We paid for his show, basically, didn't we? Yeah, kind of. Yeah. And so I went along the other night on a free ticket and was waiting to go in and was sitting there having a beer with friend of the show, Adam Knox, just killing time before the show started, when who should walk into the venue but my ex-girlfriend,

who I used to live with and she moved out and I haven't seen her for six years. Oh! She, she'll be back. She was back. Yep. Yep. Wow!

All it took was a Nick Capa show to lure her out in the open. If I'd known it was that easy, I would have just stopped showering when we lived together. Oh, my God. Yeah. Two massive journeys in the one show. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So what happened? Reconnecting with your girlfriend and going the shittest way possible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you were sitting down in the show. No, no, no. I'm before the show, downstairs at the venue. Right. She comes in and we have this very kind of just like weird chat

in the sense that it was just like very normal, just like very kind of pleasant and normal. Oh, cool, man, you're back together. Congratulations. Yeah, thanks. So she was there to see Kappa's show and then she leaves to get a drink and me and Noxy had been talking about something before she turned up and he had just been on his phone Googling something

that we were talking about and he's sort of gone to show me. He's like, oh, look. And I'm like, oh, man, I'm a bit distracted, honestly. Like, do you know who that was? And I tell him and he goes, well, I never would have guessed. Like, that was such a normal interaction. You seemed, like, not awkward about it at all, which I'm like, great.

I mean, you know, because it's like at a comedy gig. Like, I'm sort of, I wasn't on the back foot or anything. This is a great review of Nick Capa's show, by the way. It's the best part about it, honestly. of, I wasn't on the back foot or anything. This is a great review of Nick Capa's show, by the way. It's the best part about it, honestly. Opening up six-year-old trauma. Yeah, the real... So then... Because you haven't seen... So you physically haven't seen her for like six years.

Haven't seen her, haven't spoken to her in six years. She walked out the door and you haven't seen her since or heard from her or anything like that? Yes, no, nothing. No contact in six years. Wow. So I'm feeling good about, you know, Noxy really like boosted me up. I'm like, I feel really good about this interaction. I feel So I'm feeling good about, you know, Noxie really like boosted me up. I'm like, I feel really good about this interaction. I feel like I've kind of like, you know, come out as on top as you possibly can.

Then go up to the show, Nick Capa's show, which she was there to see as well. Yeah. And I'm sitting up the back and in the show, because Capa sort of is telling the whole story about the tuxedo traveller thing, he mentions our involvement at the start. Within the first minute of the show,

he brings up a photo of me and refers to me as a huge pedophile so yep back on the ropes within minutes that's good because that now shows that you're ex-girlfriend it shows that you've moved on

and hey if you're going to be a pedophile you may as well be a huge one he's not some bottom feeder pedophile you're going to be a pedophile, you may as well be a huge one. He's not some bottom feeder pedophile. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're not some sort of pedophile failure where you're, like, fucking grown-ups or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so then, like, Kappa in the show, like,

he's talking about the trip and everything, and apart from mentioning us at the start, he kind of just, like, glosses over our involvement in the rest of it, which creatively I can understand it, but I'm up the back, I'm on the ropes. I'm like, brother, get me in here, for God's sakes. He's like, did this gig in Serbia. I'm like, I did the gig in Serbia too. That's impressive.

Did this show with superstar Russell Howard. I'm like, brother, I opened for him three weeks ago. Get a mention of that in there. I fucking need this. Bit of a long way to wedge that in the show. Well, you know, I felt like I needed it. And anyway, I was talking... At least mention you making love to some grown-ups at least.

Yes, exactly. Get you back off that hook. So I was talking to someone about this. I was talking to a few people about this afterwards and they were like, you never got answers, you never got the closure. Yeah. So she went out the door without you then saying anything more

and no goodbyes, no nothing? Yeah, no, that was it. She ghosted you again. What? She ghosted you again out of the show. Didn't say goodbye. Well, yeah, she just left it. Oh, fuck, I hadn't thought of it that way.

When I'm in the audience of a show... Don't worry, she'll be back again. When I'm in the audience of a show, I do expect every single other audience member, my fellow audience members, to say goodbye before they leave. But yeah, a few people were like, you should use this as an opportunity to reach out and maybe you can finally get the closure that you never got.

So I texted her and said... Before the show, I said to him, you better have something because I've got fuck all. And my little boy's come through. I texted her and said, oh, nice to see you last night from a huge pedophile. No reply, so... Fingers crossed she's changed numbers.

Fuck, that's great if she's so far gone past you that she's not only deleted your number, she's forgotten the details. That I'm a pedophile. Yeah, the details of last night. So she's just got a random message saying, good to see you from a pedophile. Fucking hell.

Yeah, I mean, it's a great show and it's very narcissistic to think that's the thing that'll be sticking in your head. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The two-second mention of me. Yeah. Fuck. So, no, man, that's fucking... She's harsh.

This is... No response from, what, the other day? From, like, a week ago or something? Yeah, a few days ago. Fuck. How do you feel? Fine. I'm in love with Doris Rosemant

Oh that's right Oh Oh that's right Yeah yeah yeah Sorry I just got so Worked up with this Titanic romance And I was like

Oh you're fucking dead In the water at the end I forgot that you'd Actually survived Yeah Yeah Yeah I'm fine Okay alright

Yeah Well you know honestly Again as we say often It's like This is the fucked world that you create for yourself, where it's like, this weird bizarre interaction, but I'm just like wrapped because I'm like, well, I got something for Saturday now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got an opener for the gig. This will do very nicely. Wow, okay. So, do you think that's the door closed on the whole episode for you? Episode? Episode. I carumba.

Yeah. This instalment in your life, maybe. Episode. Am I cramming to you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like sliding on stage, well, I saw the X. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, except it's her. You saw the X. I saw the X. Except it's her making the dramatic exit. Yeah. Her Kramer sliding out of the house that we lived in together for two years. Yeah. And then I was...

I missed that bit. I said her Kramer sliding out of the house that we lived in together for two years. And that was like too hot to handle apparently. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think they're thinking of the Laugh Factory meltdown and just going like, oh, the horrible things that he said. Right. But yes, Kappa was messaging me the next day and I said,

oh, yeah, great show. Really the only negative was that I saw my ex after six years and he said, oh, I was actually talking to her after the show. She was there with her friend who's a big Dum Dum fan. Oh, wow. So, yeah, can't see any problems here. Retroactive sealed section. People listening at home and it's us coming out

and then bringing a guest straight on with no patter up the top. Fucking hell, that's amazing, man. God, I love comedy so fucking much. Couldn't do this last year. Bring back the trauma of the world ending, I say. Man, her friend's

a big Dum Dum fan. Are you here tonight? That'd be good. I don't know why I'm looking. You could barely pick out your old girlfriend,'d be good. Are you here? I don't know why I'm looking. I could barely pick out your old girlfriend to be honest. You're not here?

No one's here? No? No one's here. No? Alright. Should we get a guest on? I'd rather talk about this for another hour

but sure, okay. Rather talk turkey. No, no, no. Get another guest. Yeah, let's get a guest out here. Folks, we've got a huge line-up today.

Very exciting show. Please welcome back into the little dum-dum club, Will Anderson! Hello. That does explain that text message I got the other night. This is weird that I'm getting this. This must be someone else's number. You know what I love about

that? That your take out from that entire experience is running into your ex and not that you were in the middle of a comedy show. Imagine you're sitting in the audience of a comedy show and suddenly they identify you as a big pedophile. Also, what's the responsibility on the other audience members?

Because if they're not Dumb Dumb fans, I mean, I'm not sure how they've made it to Capa's show otherwise, but, like, if there happens to be someone who is not a Dumb Dumb fan, and this guy's like, he's a huge pedophile, and you're like, hang on on that's the huge pedophile he's right here in the audience

and he next thing you need your baby on your knee just like what the fuck it's like Woody Allen walking around his house Sunye's watching

a documentary she's like hang on Woody that's great that's great it's really flawed Carl hasn't it all I'm doing is relating it to like me if that happened to me with an ex Fuck. That's great. That's great. It's really flawed, Carl, hasn't it?

All I'm doing is relating it to me. If that happened to me with an ex, I would be fucking dead. I would be just fucking crying in the venue. I don't think I've ever got over anything. Maybe the truest thing you've ever said. You got to her about Leonard Copeland and Andrew Gaze and it stopped. I got to all these trolleys and went, no more. No more.

Is that literally every episode you've been on of this? That you've brought those two references up? Well, because he brings them up every other second episode. Yeah, it'd be a very different story, wouldn't it? If that had happened to you, if you'd seen your army base ex-girlfriend, it wouldn't be like, I've got a ripper for the top of the show. It would be like, Saturday's podcast is now on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I'm in a psych ward. Exactly. I'm going to zoom in from a mental hospital, actually. That's my... Look, you seem to be, like, pretty... Like, I remember when you broke up. Well, when she broke up with you.

Thank you. Sorry. Yeah, thank you. I'm just trying to make it historically correct. Sorry, everyone. Sorry about your feelings. But you were like... You were pretty...

I felt like you were pretty dry and clear with it at the time. And I was sort of like, man, that would not be me. But you were sort of like, okay, we'll just move on. Is that unfair? Yeah, I'm kind of like that in a breakup. It's like you've got to just kind of get on with it, I guess. Like, you know, you weren't there for the... I love that you're like struggling with this

because you're just trying to explain what being a normal human being is. And so you're just going, yeah, that's why you break up. No! Because you're meant to just go in the opposite direction. Don't put it on me like I'm abnormal for caring about people. Why am I the person on this show for once that's got feelings? And it's like... What the fuck is going on up here?

But I also love too, it's like we're really getting into the weeds on a very delicate topic in front of a live audience. It's just the impulse to be like, no, I was just pulling my dick a lot. Yes! Got to make them laugh. That's not on fitness though. You can't like,

I think that's abnormal to just sort of like cut it off and go, no, I'm not thinking about that person ever again. Okay, hang on. So what, no. But what did you think should, yeah,

no, I'm in. I'm sorry. I've tried to resist it but I need to fucking, I need to explore this now. This is as close as we're ever going to get to a Willosophy episode. What's your personal philosophy?

Neck yourself, cunt. Shut up. How did you make it to the top? Have you seen me? Never forget anything. So what would you have expected might have gone down in that scenario, do you think? If you run into your ex, you're going to Nick Capa's show. Right. I'm already upset.

It's a hypothetical situation. I'm already upset about wasting some of my life, yes. You're going to Nick Capa's show, you run into one of your ex-girlfriends there. What happens next? Play it out a little for us. I reckon I stare blankly at the front of the room. Again, would have done that anyway.

And then I reckon I go to the toilet for ten minutes and then I leave. That's what I think I would do. I don't think I'd be able to hack it. Yeah, I would go, definitely. What? Yeah, yeah. I don't think I'd be able to cope with it. That you were just in the same room as one of your exes? Yeah, yeah. I don't think I'd be able to cope with it. That you were just in the same room as one of your exes?

Yeah, yeah. I've done that before. An ex from like 10 years ago, you're married, you've got a child. Oh, yeah. You're living the dream. I genuinely forgot about that. Carl operates by a system where the closest person he is to someone he's dated, they are currently his partner. Sorry.

It's like Uber Eats. What's in your area? Saw my ex. Ah, well, there's plenty more fish in the sea. Oh, no, hang on. They're at home. The fish are on the boat already. I fucked one of those

fish. Yeah, I don't know. I just, I think that would transport me back to that place and I would just because it hasn't been finished. There hasn't been a knot tied in or whatever and I think that would just put me back there. Oh, there was a knot tied but you know. But also, so you

mean So hang on. You're suggesting that if any relationship you go into does not end in marriage, it is a failed relationship. Well, I'm suggesting that there's unfinished business. Whereas weirdly, your wife thinks the opposite. I'm sorry for caring. I'm sorry for caring.

It's always been the one fault I have on this podcast. I love too much. Yeah, yeah. I also don't think that you kind of understand the difference between not sharing something with you and just not... You equate that with not feeling an emotion, right? But I would never open up to you because then down the line it becomes weaponised on this podcast. What about when you told me you cried, you fucking moron?

Get him, Blakey! Not signing myself up for that. I've fucking learnt my lesson. Well, to be fair, in my defence, I said, gee, I would have been upset if I hadn't seen an ex-girlfriend. I've been polled on for 15 fucking minutes. He's about to cry, Will, like he's seen one of his exes. Oh, I'm sad.

Okay, so you've got like a wife and a baby. Yes, apparently. Allegedly, yep. So would it make you happier or less? So does it matter what situation this ex-partner is in? So if the ex-partner's there, say they're married, they have a baby as well, is that better or worse? Great question. Does it matter what situation this ex-partner is in so if the ex-partner's there say they're married they have a baby as well

is that better worse does it change the situation at all I've never thought about that that's genuinely upsetting me yeah look that's a great question

it is yeah I've just got to go to the toilet okay one more question. All right, all right. You meet her husband. Right. Oh, come on, come on.

Boyfriend. Boyfriend. Her husband don't say his name. Right. And... And their little son, Rug. Right. So, you look into Rug's eyes and they say,

don't tell anybody else what Rug's real name is, but his name's Carl. Don't mind this. How does it feel now? Oh. Fuck, there's a lot going on. This is like a weirdly deep improv troupe. Yeah.

Really specific traumatic scenarios. Yeah, except at the end of this one, it's Space Jump off the West Gate. Right. Anyway, hey, let's stop probing my trauma for one second. Let's get another guest in. So what you actually mean is bring someone else to help probe your trauma.

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back into the Little Dumb Dumb Club, Cameron James! Hello, hello, hello. Thank you for having me. I just would like to start by promoting my new website, theclitreview.com. I am reviewing clits based on size, presentation, mouthfeel.

That reference. Mouthfeel. Mouthfeel. And also, if you subscribe to the Patreon, five bucks a month, I will review your clit. Yeah, great. People have called you the Steve Bennett of clits. If you laughed at that, you're a nerd.

That reference feels like it's from about six hours ago at this point. Also, by the way, it is a huge honour to be on the podcast today with the most famous pedophile in Australia, Will Anderson. It's great to be here. Luckily, most of them thought I was Adam Hills. Always limp away. That's my secret.

Sorry to interrupt, but you guys were diving into Carl's personal life and trauma and stuff. I don't remember that. You don't remember? How are you with exes, Cam? Like, if you ran into diving into Carl's personal life and trauma and stuff. I don't remember that. You don't remember? How are you with exes, Cam? Like if you ran into one of your exes at a show.

Great question. You've moved on with your life. They've moved on with their life. How would you feel in that scenario? I reckon I would hate it as well. I'm kind of with Carl on this. Yes. I think no one should be friends with their exes. Really?

And anyone who is is a fucking psychopath. It means you never loved them. If you can look them in the eyes, you never loved them. Exactly. Team soft boy over here. This is so interesting. I cannot wait to run this by the presumably

next female guest on this show. Just to get another perspective, I assume. Everyone knows that presuming makes an arse out of me and you. Not quite, no. Our third, given that this is a show that goes from, this is a show that

goes from 3.30 to 4.30, I've just got a text from the third guest saying, my driver just cancelled. The ETA is 4.23. Oh, good. Well, it's good to have Ross Noble back on then. I'm texting Hiyoshi right now. Wow.

Oh, I know who it is now. Yeah. Holy shit. I know. Wow, right? It's. Oh, I know who it is now. Yeah. Holy shit. I know, wow, right? It's Adam Hills, actually. So that's going to be interesting given what you've said. It's going to be interesting

given what you've said. And then deleted. Oh, God, it's good to have all men up here, isn't it? Fuck. It's such a good line-up men up here, isn't it? Fuck! It's such a good line-up. Come on, guys. This is comedy, man.

Yeah, that's why I brought up the Clint Review thing. It's my attempt to get a female guest in here. It's good. That's what I love about coming to Melbourne. You can just get up here, sit on a stool and shoot the shit. Yeah. It's cool, man. Just gonzo-style comedy, you know.

Just get up there and go for it. Hey, by the way, I did one of Carl's gigs last night, and I said I just came here from Sydney, and half the crowd booed. What the fuck? Do you guys hate Sydney? Make some noise. What's your fucking problem?

Because guess what? We don't think about you at all. We don't fucking... This weird one-way rivalry. Yeah, you never think about here. Where are you, cunt? Yeah, you... You just hop on a Qantas and go, take me wherever. I said, take me to the funny man.

And they led me right to you, Carl. Oh, we're back. We're back. I'm sucking up to Carl today. You messaged me ten minutes before this started, Cam, and said, is the podcast today? And if so, where is it? So, yeah, I fucking hate Sydney too. No, he's literally not thinking about Melbourne in that episode. Where am I?

Oh, God, no, I do love it here though. I do love it. You guys have beautiful stuff. But you've just got to leave us alone. Do you know what the thing that I find surprising about this podcast sometimes is the fact that, like, literally you have three guests today. Cam didn't think about it until ten minutes

before the fucking show. His other guest is not going to be here until seven minutes before the end of the fucking show. What am I doing here? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like surely I should be making better decisions than this. I was talking to you backstage and you'd prep stuff. I'm like, fucking how are you the person that cares the most

out of all these losers? I'm not drinking and I've suddenly sobered up and realised, maybe I shouldn't be here. Milan, get here quick. Not only that, you pay us to do this. All right, what's some of the stuff you prepared, Will? Let's go through it.

We've got to fill time. We've got 20 minutes. We've got estimated 20 minutes until our third guest comes in. Hey, so Cam... Oh, sorry, fill time. We've got 20 minutes. We've got estimated 20 minutes until our third guest comes in. Hey, so Cam. Oh, sorry. No, no.

I was just going to ask Cam. So you flew here. I flew here. You grew here. The end. What else is going on? It's good. Well, we finally brought up

what I wanted to talk about. Oh, finally. Kramer's back. Do the bit. Do the famous Kramer bit. Come on, Diggers. Well, Jerry, welcome. What? I pay tribute to Anzac Day,

you fucking Australians. You're not allowed to say the A word. Sorry, I didn't mean come on, Diggers, by the way. You said Diggers with a hard R. You're not allowed to say it. It's Diggers. You're allowed to say Diggers. Sorry, Tommy. You said diggers with a hard R. You're not allowed to say it. It's dig-ars. You're allowed to say dig-ars. Sorry, Tommy.

What were you going to say? I just will sliding into his show going, well, Jerry, I got arrested on the plane. Mike, are you just going to do Seinfeld the rest of the show? Yeah. One man Seinfeld. Yeah. I know thatinfeld. Yeah. I know that we were joking about it a bit, but I mean, is it just me,

but has this festival been heaps better without the internationals? Dude, yes. I'm just saying, let's build a comedy venue and build a wall around it. Yes. And I'll be doing that in my new show, Build a Will, next year. That's right. You know, it's been good because, you know, you can't go to a show this year and hear anyone go, what's up with these hook turns?

What's up with the Harold Holt pool? That's all I'm going to do at my show tonight. I'll do all the ordinary international references. Fuck, it was a long flight. Also, just no matter how they pronounce Melbourne, it sounds fucked. Even if they get it right. If they're like, it's great to be here in Melbourne, I'm like pronounce Melbourne, it sounds fucked. Yeah. Even if they get it right.

If they're like, it's great to be here in Melbourne. I'm like, fuck, you sound disgusting. Yeah. You sound fucking gross. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pronounce them all or pronounce none of them. Get out. So, yeah, Cam, you flew down here from Sydney.

You got on the plane. You booked a ticket. What was now on your ticket, on your plane ticket, what was the name that was printed on there? Great question. What, Cameron Bone is what you're saying? Yes. Why, why? Something funny about that, is there? So let's be clear,

Tommy's now not the only person up here with a fake name. So Cameron James is not your name. Your real name is Cameron Bone. Yes, that's true. That is true. I've owned it. I own it publicly ever since I was outed on your podcast. And then Tommy sent me a message saying, hey man, it's okay.

I've been through this. Similar thing. But yes, it's true. But Allsop doesn't sound a bit like a dick though, does it? Maybe not the way you say it. No, that's true. But you know, it's a beautiful name. It's a Scottish name.

Oh, right, because I just read something recently about how people get surnames. Apparently they're ancestors sometimes. It comes from, like, the job or the occupation they had centuries ago. So someone was... One of your ancestors was professionally covered in flesh, I assume, or something. What are you on about, man?

What I love is that you think the only meaning of bone is like sex or penis. No. Whereas there are much more common meanings of bone. Yeah. Like if his last name was cock or penis, I would get that. I didn't mean that at all. I meant like a bone in your body.

You did not mean that at all. I did mean that. By the way, if my last name was Cock or Penis, I wouldn't have changed it. I would have kept it. Cameron Cock. Cameron Cock or Penis. I mean, you and Alexi would be a better team

if your last name was Cameron Cock or Penis. Cock or Penis? Those people wouldn't have been booing last night if it had been, welcome to the stage, your MC, Cameron Penis. Man, that is a fucking good name actually. That is a very good

Sydney comedy name I reckon as well. Cameron Penis. Yeah. Cameron Penis. Yeah, I mean it wouldn't fly in Melbourne. You guys are a little

woker down here. Cameron non-determinant genitals. That's what it would have to be. Classic us. Classic woke Melbourne. People in here are actually very disgusted you used his death name.

Can you talk us through? Like Cameron Bone would be a great comedy name. I actually kind of regret it now because it is pretty good. Yeah. Now what did you cop in high school? What did you cop in primary school? What do you reckon? Use your imagination.

Just tell me. Bone. E.T. Bone Home. Bone Alone. That's pretty good. Bone-er. To be honest, yeah, Bone-er is the main one. It's mainly Bone-er.

Mainly Bone-er. Give your dog a bone. Yeah, but I developed a good sense of humour and I would dare say that it's the reason I'm a comedian today, guys. Wow. And that's... Can I do Willosophy? Finally an answer to the great question,

where do you get your ideas? Wow. So, legally, you have a wife? I have a wife, yeah. She kept her name. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she didn't go with...

Don't say her bone. Don't say her bone. Yeah, she kept her name. And we have a dog and it has my real last name because of course. Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course. So that's pretty cute. All right.

Are you prepared to name your dog on the podcast? No, I will not. Okay. Blanket. Blanket bone. Blanket bone. Little BB. Little BB the Groodle.

The old blanket bone. Ironically, something a big pedophile might do. Hey, it's huge, thank you. Oh, sorry. Bit of respect. 14 minutes to go. 14? 14 minutes to go 14? 14 minutes to go

Anything else funny with the survey? Anything else? So boner Any more bullying? I'm very excited about the guest This guest is like someone who's been coming Not just for the last 15 minutes But for a very long time

Yes exactly So it's worth the wait It's going to be worth the wait All people are trying to figure it out in the crowd. What's Kappa dressed as this week? I swear to God, if it's Nick Carr, I'm going to kill myself. I swear to God. Imagine waiting for that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's taken half an hour because he's just at the foot of the stairs. He's fat. You're not laughing. It stairs. He's fat. You're not laughing. It's because he's fat. Yeah. Maybe some people didn't get it. It's because he's fat.

Sydney would love that joke. When he said he's driver cancelled, do you mean the guy who pushes him up the stairs? Yeah. It feels rotten, doesn't it? No, but it was just because he was a car and I thought it was close enough. It worked.

Yeah. I felt bad about it. Ten minutes to go. Ten minutes. 4.20 drop-off. This is amazing. 4.20 drop-off. Okay, yeah.

Unbelievable. How many times have you got that text before? That won't perk my attention. Oh, I'll tell you this if you want. I'm on the legal weed program, the government legal marijuana program now. Oh, really? Really? Don't need to score off any dum-dum fans anymore.

Oh, wow. Thank you if in the past you have helped me out in that regard. Oh, wow. Yeah. But yeah, no, officially now. How does that work? How does it work? Yeah.

A doctor gives you a prescription. Yeah. And then they basically send it to this cannabis company. Yeah. And then the cannabis company just just ring you up and say, hey, here's your prescription, pay for your medication like you normally would in anywhere else. And then they send it to you in the mail.

They just send you weed in the mail. Yeah. What a flawed system. It's so far. But no, in a little container that has your prescription on it so that you can travel with it and shit. That's crazy. I know.

For people at home, if you look up where Will Anderson lives, you can find it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can hang out the front of the letterbox. Anyone wants free weed? Well, what I'm going to say is if you're in that area, you don't need to get it through the mail. In fact, when I was on the line to them and I was just like,

I gave them my address and they said it was like so near Mullumbimby, they were like, do you not have another way to get it? It's like, I do have another way to get it. I could just pop down to the garden. A quick 35-minute walk down to the garden, yes. So what is the quality of it like? How fresh is that herb, brother? Tell us.

How fire is that garnish? Does it feel... You mean the stuff that's come from a lab as opposed to the stuff that's come from a guy? Yeah, some dude. Fucking heaps better. Is it? What do you fucking think? I don't know.

It's like going into fucking Rockpool and going, is this as good as that sausage I bought off that homeless guy at the front? And he made me eat it out of his fly, of his pants, and I don't even know if it was a sausage. He actually said, like, he had half of the sausage while I was eating another fucking half of the sausage. And I had to talk to him for 45 minutes to get the fucking sausage.

That rank sausage probably would have the same effect as what you're getting in the mail now. What do they send you? Is it, like, pre-rolled joints? No, no, no, no. So do you get a prescription bong? That's a great question. That is an excellent journalistic instinct.

Very good question. I mean, you can get a bong. Bongs aren't, I say bongs are illegal here, aren't they? They're called water pipes. You have to go off your tree for a water pipe. I'm buying a vase off your tree. I want to get off my tree

through H2O. Something to put the flowers in the apartment. That's great. Someone who's got a bong and they're too scared to ever put weed in it so they're just like

oh yeah, that's the good stuff. Just like bubbles, man. Just like the feeling of water on my lungs. Now, does it feel less... Have you lost some of the thrill of smoking weed now? Great question. Government prescribed weed.

Does it feel a bit too safe? Less naughty. Have you outgrown that phase of your life? I'm 47 years old. I'm not sure that much of the thrill was like, hey, guys, we're smoking weed, let's watch American Pie. Like what grown adult would watch American Pie and talk about it on their podcast?

Again, a bit of a... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Okay, I'll take that. I'm more offended by that than the bone stuff, to be honest. Well, there's only five minutes to go. I reckon, I mean, maybe... Oh, no, fuck it.

No, it's fine. No, forget it. It's alright. You got on a plane to do this. Just give us everything you've got. No, no, no. I just love you guys and it's great to be here. It's great to be here.

Can I buy weed off you, Will? Technically, I don't think I'm meant to share my medication. All right. Okay. What's your ailment? Thank you. Thank you. My ailment is I want to have a good time tonight.

So I don't know if that means I have mental health issues. Oh, right. Maybe that's it. I'm going to something after this. I'm a little tired and I'm not quite chatty enough. Are there any doctors in the house that can prescribe me something for later on? Are you going back to Nick Capper's to try again? On the off chance she's going to go a second time.

Yeah, it's like seeing someone in a cafe. Or maybe if I hang around that cafe I might see her again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe she's a regular Nick Capper. Watch her every night. Pardon? She's probably fucking you. Oh, no.

Wow. Wow. She's probably fucking him, which is not great since Capper's girlfriend's on the door right now. Fiancee. Fiancee. Sorry, I'm not used to saying that word. Oh, so you remembered he had a partner.

That is... I guess if you don't say her name enough, you just forget what it is. That's one of the worst things I've ever heard on this podcast, just a voice from the crowd. Maybe she's fucking him. I don't think you've listened to this show enough. No, but this one hits a little deeper, you know what I'm saying? I'm going to have to go to the bathroom now.

Yes, yeah, yeah. Who would be? Okay, let me ask you a question. If your ex was having sex with a comedian... Yeah, because she's never done that before. Go on. Yeah, that's what she said, but I thought that was completely unfair. I said, I really like the podcast.

I'm a Patreon subscriber. What tier is this? No. Is there anyone? There's plenty of tiers. The non-consensual comedy of Carl Chandler. No! What?

How did I cop that one? Oh, my God. I know. Is there one particular comedian that it would really make you angry if she's like, I'm with him now? Oh, that's a great question. Yeah. And alternatively, who would you be happy with? Oh, her getting a bit of cam bone, I couldn't be too mad at.

Yeah, that's all right. We'd still be mates, I reckon. You'd have to be pretty mad if it was like Louis C.K. or something like that, wouldn't you? You're like, come on, are you serious? Yeah, who would it be all right? Who would you be? No, sorry, who would you be Who would it be alright? Who would you be No sorry

Who would you be The most pissed off about? Who would you be The most pissed off about? Oh Kay Chandler For sure Yeah Actually Yoko Ono

The group Oh Yoko Ono I'm going to have to Blow my brains out That would be Pretty amazing What if he killed himself? blow my brains out. That would be pretty amazing. What, if he killed himself?

No, no, no. That would be amazing. It's definitely how this show's going to end. You're either going to fight, fuck or kill each other. It's going to be exciting, whatever happens. Well, hey, that's a good teaser for the 500th episode. Are you standing because you're about to announce somebody? I reckon I'm going to just check.

Give me one second. Okay. I hope they're up to date on all the little in jokes we've been carefully cultivating for the last 45 minutes. Who's this? Oh, okay. How are we feeling? Not yet. Close.

Oh. Close. Close. I actually Close. Close. Close. I actually don't know who it is. She's got to come in from an army base. She? I'm just waiting for the chopper to land on the roof.

That would be, that would be. That might be the end of the show. Yeah. Yeah. The drunk ass where we just get as many of our exes as we can convince to come and talk to us. Yeah, yeah. And it's just us crying going, what did I do?

This is literally like, you know, we'll do work on the podcast during the week and whatever and think about what we're going to do. I didn't think about any of this bit. I spent hours on this guest. Yeah. And now this guest is going to be here for three minutes. Yeah.

So get all your good stuff out then as soon as he gets here. Or she. Don't read my notes. It'll spoil the last two and a half minutes. Are you now kind of mentally going through like, alright, I've only got time for one of these bits. What's the best one?

No, I'm thinking about talking fast. Well, if anyone can help Carl out with that. Any doctors in the house? Talking fast. Yeah. Well, if anyone can help Carl out with that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Any doctors in the house? All right, all right, all right. So here we go. Welcome to the stage, one half of the Avalanches, Tony DiBasi. What?

What? No. Can't be the case. Thank you very much. Please take your time. I'm not sure what's going on right now, but it's pretty good. For the first time ever, the avalanches were late with something. So I... We don't make a habit of it.

Tony, thank you for doing profound and irreparable damage to the brand of the Avalanches by agreeing to come and do this. We really appreciate it. I got pressured into it by Tommy, who I know. I'm a fiend. He's the guy who's socially distanced himself Yeah This guy Who the fuck are you?

No, no I always get his picture and it's like No, no, no, don't pull this You've turned fucking 53 minutes up late, okay It took you You told me 4.15 is going to be okay. No, I didn't. It took you 16 years to put out a second album.

It took you 10 years to get on this fucking podcast. What's your problem? Well, mate, it took you 12 years to propose to your girlfriend, so fuck them, what's your point? Oh. Oh, my God. So it's really nice to be here. These lights are quite crunchy.

Sorry if you're not used to being on stage much. Sorry it's not a fucking disco ball. Oh, man. Man, thank you. Thank you so much for finally doing it. Thank you for having me. This is not Greg Larson or Nick Capper or anything. This is an Greg Larson or Nick Capper or anything.

This is an actual person. And can I say the only podcast I've heard of these guys is the Greg Fleet one from maybe like seven years ago. So you loved it? I was a bit unsure. So you can understand why it's taken me so long to actually come on. Right, right. Okay, because you just thought it was a podcast for junkies. So I might kind of fit with that.

So that's why it's taken 16 years. Right, right. Do I really want to bring that out? Yeah, yeah, right. No, thank you so much for finally getting on here because you've torn yourself from rehearsals. You're actually rehearsing. I'm rehearsing right now.

First day of rehearsals. Yeah. Great timing, Carl. As always. Yeah. For some reason we just thought, oh, okay, like he said 17th. I'm like, that's a week before we have to play our biggest show, like at my music bowl. Haven't rehearsed, haven't played for ages.

Great timing. Yeah, yeah. I'm making my debut into comedy that day. I was going to say, from your preparation that you've just run through, the fact that you only start preparing just in the few days beforehand, I can see why the Greg Fleet one appealed to you as an episode as well. Now, I saw you guys

play one of your big comeback shows. I was in Spain at a festival called Primavera Sound. Do you have any memory of that experience? Not many. No. It's very late at night. It's really like in those situations you kind of think, I think we played the best show ever.

I think a lot of people have. But when I hear things like that. No, I don't mean that in a bad way. I just mean it was like four o'clock in the morning or something when you came on and it was like the first show you'd done back in like a very long time, I believe. It's very nerve-wracking. Yeah.

So it's quite an experience but got through it. But look, so I've been talking about you guys for years. So since I left you, which I presume was named after Tommy's girlfriend. That's me. So it was, so it came out, so it it's 25 years isn't it? 20 Just 20 Sorry

20 year anniversary edition out now? Yes Reissue On vinyl Come by So If you get it If you get that reissue now

Has it still got all the original notes Notes inside it Like the thank yous? Yes Has it? I think we might have shifted the thank yous No Yes Because I think we took have shifted the thank yous. No, no.

Because that album. I think we took out people who maybe we shouldn't thank now. No, no. Oh, like Madonna. Yeah, right, right. Oh, yeah, obviously. No, because, so it's been named. Your album has been called, like,

Double J said it's the best Australian album of all time. Triple J said it was the best Australian album for 25 years or something. And in that album, you thank me. So you're welcome. Couldn't have done it without him. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.

Exactly. And you know what? Because the thing is, we were, like, so we went to school together in Maryborough, right? Has everyone heard of Maryborough? Do you know? Oh, a couple of times. You guys have heard that town? Yeah. Oh, it's surprising. heard of Maribor? A couple of times. You guys have heard of

that town? It's surprising. It's such a small town. I hardly ever mention it.

I'm amazed it didn't come up three dozen times on the Greg Fleet episode that you

listened to. So you moved to Maribor, but you're not a true Mariborite, like an OG

like me. I feel like you just moved there for a month and you become one. Yeah, yeah. So you moved there in year 12. So you were like... I was like from Melbourne, you know, pretty cool dude.

Yeah, yeah. And then moved to Maryborough and I was just like, what the fuck am I doing here? And I know like Carl like talks about all these Maryborough people and you may think he's over-egging the pudding on it, but he's not. It is probably worse than what you can even say. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So you got there and we had to introduce you to all these people with these insane nicknames and everything. Yeah, yeah. It was like half a dozen head and fucking I should spit on you. Like, what the fuck does that even mean? Yeah, there was a guy that was called I should have spat on you. Yeah. And that was what we would call him as a name.

And Mark Moak, he would just walk up to everyone and go, Moak, fuck. Yeah, yeah. Moak, Moak. And then we'd make him do star jumps for free cigarettes. Yeah. At least you're getting him exercising. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Steve, hold these. Any fond memories of him? To tell you the truth, I got there quite late. I didn't really know a lot of them. So the one that stuck out was leopard head. And I was just like, what has he got, like big freckles on his face? Yeah. Like spots or anything.

And then it was very late in my experience of being in Maribor. I like saw someone and went, you've got the head of a leopard. And I was like, that has to be leopard head. Fuck, what if it wasn't? What if there was another person with a more leopardy head? Couldn't there be two? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Inbred. Yeah. I mean, it's a fair point though he makes I loved at the start you were like you're not a true Maryborough person he's like yeah I'm from Melbourne where there's normal people and then I moved to this fucked inbred town where everyone's got yeah

moved to the Jim Rose Circus for a while so we were technically in a band together before the avalanches I was in a band with Carl. Yeah. I don't know why I quit that one to actually form the Avalanches. What was your band called?

Animals of Steel. Oh, that's cool, dude. What sort of music did Animals of Steel play? Just ballads. No, no. Great. Great. Great. I was in a cafe.

And I saw a red atom. What did you do in the band? It was metal. So we all had different names. We had different stage names. Oh, you had metal stage names? Was your stage name Cameron Bone? You were.

Killer Doctor. Killer Doctor. Nice. There was Madman Jack. Yeah. And then there was me. Death Slut. Death Slut.

Yeah. Death Slut. Death Slut. Death Slut. Wait a minute. Death or Def? No, not Def Slut. Def Slut.

You're like Def Jam. I'm like a Def Slut. Def Slut. Keep fucking me. No, not deaf slut. Deaf slut? I'm like a deaf jammer. I'm like a deaf slut. Deaf slut. Keep fucking me. Cameron James, I cannot believe you did that. I didn't do that. That was not me. That was not me.

Hey, to be fair, no one's going to get offended because I don't hear it. Sorry. You're getting upset about ex-girlfriends leaving you and you used to be known as Death Slut? Like, fucking move on, dude. What's the stage name? It was a persona that I created. Yeah.

So we had, the songs were called... Arse-fucking in Paris. Yeah. Arse-fucking in Paris. Arse-fucking in Paris. Yeah. Arse-fucking in Paris. Arse-fucking in Paris. I just remember the first two lines were, how you going, mate?

Can I fuck your ass? Oh, my God. That has to be merch. Yeah. You've got to put that on a T-shirt. That is so fucking funny. That is so legit. That's up there with,

since I left you, the world's been so in you or whatever the fuck you went on with. Oh, it's just so, yeah. So there was that. There was Ass-Fucking-In-Paris. There was Bakery of Death. Yep. Still, even then, bakeries.

And then there was a genuine ballad called Noel. Yeah, I wrote that one. You wrote that one. Noel. I'm the sensitive one of the band. Yeah, yeah. I was less sensitive back then. Yeah, sure, sure. What was Noel about? Great question. You of the band. Yeah, yeah. I was less sensitive back then. Yeah, sure, sure.

What was Noel about? Great question. You'll like this. I will. Noel. Okay, for sure. Noel was about a local musician. You'll remember this.

Noel Watson, who played guitar at the halftime at the AFL Grand Final. I'm pretty sure he rode in on a horse too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He did Waltzing Matilda at halftime in the Grand Final celebrations, whatever. And, yeah, so the song was about him because he came from Maribor, but legend had it. So he did the halftime entertainment at the Grand Final and he got paid with a slab

and he and he was an alcoholic alcoholic well then he was happy to do it yeah he was like this is not even my horse

I was listening to this podcast with Greg Fleet he said do you want to get on the horse I thought fuck it great great so you were you were at my first ever He said, do you want to get on the horse? I thought, fuck it. Great, great. So you were at my first ever two comedy gigs.

I was. You came to my first ever. Unfortunately. No. And, like, it seriously took me 10 to 15 years to ever go to a comedy show. It was so traumatic. No, it wasn't. No, talk us through it what were the young what are your

memories well i think that like the first one went really well yeah the first one was like the triple triple j the triple j war comedy thing it was at the everland it was good we were like supportive of like our mate just yeah they all turned you guys all turned up and you're really sort of and it went well and then the second gig it was like you guys got rid of all of that and turned up pissed to the gig. No, we just wanted to be cunts. You were like, progress on the second album's going well. We can afford a night off.

Let's just let our hair down. Exactly. We gave him one night. So then I had this bizarre routine. I had this bizarre routine where I talked about, now this is what I thought was relatable back then. I think it was a good joke if you could have actually got it out. But listen, yeah, so the joke was something to do with, I was trying to relate to people,

you know how that thing is where you put a full bottle of water on your front lawn and that stops dogs from pissing on the lawn. Does anyone know that? That's why. I've heard of it. Right, yeah. So I was doing that like, you know how we all know that. That sounds like a fucking Maribor old wives tale.

Yeah. So I was doing that at the second ever gig and people were just like, you guys going, fucking what? And so this is my second ever gig. So I started stumbling and going, you know, I mean, like, I mean, how do they know that it works? I mean, does anyone, like, dust for piss? Here we go.

Does anyone do that? And I, like, just stumbled and I left, like, three. It wasn't a dusting for piss. Does anyone dust for piss? No, no, no, dusting for piss. And then there's, like, three seconds of siren and then you guys up the back. No, no, no. Dusting for piss. And then there's like three seconds of silence and then you guys up the back just went, piss, Prince.

Piss, dust. Piss, dust. That's it. Piss, dust. So I'm up there not knowing what to do and they're just yelling piss, dust at me. I'm like, fucking hell. And he tried to do the joke maybe five times

and just kept going. It was like every time he was almost there, it was like, Piss dust! Oh, my. So enough about his show the other night. How was the first one that you went to? Yes. And to this day, Don't Say Her Name still calls me piss dust.

Oh, yes. Your wife? Yes. Is that an in-joke? I don't say her name, still calls me Piss Dust. Oh, yes. Your wife? Yes. Is that an in-joke? I don't say her name on the show because... Untitled. Yeah, yeah. What do you prefer being called, Piss Dust or Deaf Slut?

Oh. That's a tough call. Yeah, well, I'd say... I would love for someone to call me Deaf Slut because that just shows they're a big fan. That's true. They know all the back catalogue. Very underground fan as well.

I have a question about early Carl Giggs. Was he wearing pyjamas on stage yet? No, he wasn't duck pond. No, no, no. Tell me, what were you doing in the band? What's your role in the band? Drummer. Drummer?

I can't drum. Well, no one could play You know when bands go bad That's when he joined Let's just do samples It's great We're kind of doing our thing I wasn't that bad

I was a creative influence And I was around you guys when the first album came out and I was helping out. In fact, there's a demo because I was always like, can I play on something just like a triangle? I'm finally starting to realise the agenda of what's this year. It's all come very clear. I really thought you were so desperate for him to be here

because you wanted him on the show. Right. You just want to get this out. Go on, sir. Please. Death Slut wants to have his day in court. Get a few more of these stories out of the way so I can ask Tony where he gets his ideas, all right?

Then we can really get down to brass tacks. So there's a demo. I was always like, can I play Triangle? Can I play something on something? Just so I can say I'm on the album or whatever. So there is a demo that exists with me contributing, with what I think would be good. So can we play that up the back?

And this is like an original demo. But we changed it eventually. But why? I saw a duck sandwich. I was in a cafe. I saw a duck sandwich. I was in a cafe. I saw a duck sandwich. It was on their cafe. I saw a duck sandwich. I was in a cafe. I saw a duck sandwich.

It was on their menu. How did you feel? I was sad. I was surrounded by bread. I was in a cafe. I saw a duck sandwich. It caught my eye. I saw a duck sandwich.

Now that duck is in no position to enjoy it. I saw a duck sandwich. He tipped it off with a pen. He's done it again. I saw a duck sandwich. Amazing. Amazing. Duck Sandwich tipped it off with a pen. He's done it again. Amazing. I'm, like, really disappointed we didn't go with that. Yeah, yeah.

And this is the fuck thing about music is record companies always have a big say in, like, what you should release. And we were just like, let's go with Duck Sandwich as the first single. Yeah. And they were like, we can't do that. It's just not a good thing. Yeah, yeah, I know. You could have been a famous band, you know. Is that going to be included on the upcoming 20th anniversary edition?

Oh, yes. As a remix? Yeah, one of those ones where you have to, like, rewind from the first track to hear it. Yeah, it'll be in the, you know, records, how they just, there's, like, hidden tracks. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a hidden, hidden track. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a hidden, hidden track.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's hidden because it's in the bin. Yeah. It's hidden because it doesn't actually exist. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We hid it. Yeah. Really well.

Yeah. I think that's a cool idea. You can have Duck Sandwich as a hidden track and then a hidden track after that. There's just the sound of gunshots from you guys shooting yourselves in the head. Got unnecessarily violent or whatever. That just got dark really quickly. That's Sydney for you, baby. That's Sydney.

Now, what I want to gauge now is your confidence levels around, did you close with that or have you got something else still up your sleeve? Yeah, yeah. I want to know where we're at. We've got a lot more I mean I'm happy to close with it But you know You might have something else

Oh yeah What have I got? I don't know Do you have any I was too busy rehearsing To study my notes Your notes Wow

Tell me Is there any like Embarrassing stories about Carl That we need to know about Well there was a time That Carl Oh wait Let's close with the song.

Carl had to go to court for fucking a goat. No, no. Now this is what we want to hear. I know, but this is great because it was like up in front of the judge and... I'm not Sunshine Johnson, alright? You're mixing me up with your other Maribor friend, alright?

You're not? No, no. But that's what we used to call you back then. No, no, no. Would that not be the greatest reveal in this show? Yes. If it turns out that, like, I'm Kaiser Soze of Mirabara.

You were Sunshine Johnson the whole time. Well, that was his name before it was called. I used to refer to him as Sunshine. Death Sight, Sunshine Johnson, Carl Chandler. Yes. Well, Sunshine was a bit too happy for the Animals of Steel. Exactly. Exactly.

Exactly. Did the Animals of Steel ever play a live gig? Yeah. No. No. Would they ever on this podcast? What about you could do that dodgy, like, the Animals of Steel experience thing, you know what I mean?

Where it's just two members, like the Animals of Steel experience thing, you know what I mean? Two members like that. They could open for you at the MyMusicBall next week. Yes! You can drum. Yeah, I can drum. Well, I'm not great but I'm definitely better than you. I can say pretty confidently. Hey, you haven't seen Deathsla.

Yeah, yes. What could my name be? What could my name be in the Animals of Steel? Hey, you haven't seen Deathsla. Yeah, yes. Yeah, exactly. What could my name be? What could my name be in the Animals of Steel? Was there a method to coming up with the names? Like, were you just getting... You just have to be evil. Yeah, evil.

Yeah, yeah. There was another member, which is the other guy in the Avalanches right now. Remember, he joined the band. And what was his... Because the other member of the band... Flare was Pussy Man. Yeah, Flare was Pussy Man.

Fuck, that might be the best one. Yeah, it's really good. What a shame. But it didn't quite fit in. No. I actually love that Cat Stevens album, Flowers for the Pussy Man. It's just a real...

Look at my evil animals of steel name be, Piss Cancer. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Does that fit in? That's good. Piss Cancer. That's not too bad. That's not too bad.

Yeah, yeah. Piss... Huge ped good. Piss cancer. That's not too bad. Piss. Huge pedo. Huge pedo. Sorry, Tony, that's something we were talking about earlier. That's not just... I mean, to be fair, you're looking at Tommy. There doesn't need to be a big explanation.

Yeah, it's a bit of a leopard head moment right now. But he likes really young leopards. Sure. Yep. Why fight it? Well cancer and huge pedo both fuck kids Very good stuff How are you going to top that? Very good stuff

Alright, alright Should we close? Should we finish up? Have you got one more? We've got one more story about Carl getting stoned for the first time. And this is fucking weird. Yeah, alright. So this is the only time I've ever seen Carl stoned.

This is the first time I ever... Have you ever smoked after that? Yes, but this was the first time I'd ever... First time. So we're in the shed. It was just a typical Bogan Maryborough shed. Yeah. Let the listener at home know that

Tony's doing the bong motion. Sorry, water bars. Water bars. I wish I had that technique where I could do it. You wish you had a bong is what you're saying. So, we're in the rehearsal shed.

It was in the Animals of Steel. So we were almost auditioning. The rehearsal shed. Something that started with an A. And so we got Carl Stoned and all of a sudden he just got up. And I'd never. And walked out and ran to the orchard. Robbie had an orchard.

So he sat under a natural orchard. I'd never smoked before. And then I just did like five bongs in a row as quick as I could. I reckon you might have like done half a bong. Oh my mate. I think you're remembering this a little behind the bars. That's how I remember it.

If you have never tried it before, you are not having five bongs. Also, though, classic death slut. I need as many as I can. And now I need an apple. Exactly. But it wasn't really about the apples. It was just more like the karma of sitting under an apple tree.

We were a little bit worried about Carl and Robbie Flowers, Pussy Man, came out and talked to Carl to try and get him through his experience. So are you like sitting in an orchard? I just remember lying on the ground and like... In an orchard? Yeah. And then an apple falls on your head,

you see a duck. Eureka! I've just invented science. So, yeah, so I'd had more than half a bong in my memory. In my memory. In my memory. So then I'm hiding. I'm hiding from the world outside.

Just from us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm out there and Robbie's coming out and Robbie's being very nice and just coming up to me. You know, you've always got the supportive one when you're getting stoned. Like, you've got your cunts who are like, yeah, just going to hang shit on everything. Robbie was being nice. Very nice. Went out to Carl's. That's classic Flowers pussy man. like, yeah, just going to hang shit on everything. Robbie was being nice. Very nice. Went out to Carl.

That's classic flowers pussy, man. Exactly. That's flowers for you. So it's like Robbie came back in and said, okay, because we were just a little bit worried. Not really, but just wondering. And so we got the word that, you know, Carl will come back in as long as we can't laugh.

So we just couldn't laugh at anything. I mean, it would have been better if he was doing stand-up at that time. He was just preparing for his career. Would you say, like, Andrew Gay's still in our couple? Yeah, yeah, that was the thing. Because I was there, I was so paranoid. I was like, I was so paranoid. I was like, everyone has to stop laughing.

And then he's like, okay. And then he would go back in and then I would just hear everyone start laughing. So we agreed. No, we just agreed. Okay, we'll stop laughing. That's fine. We're all stoned. We don't want to laugh. Why would we want to laugh when we're stoned?

It's just stupid shit. So then Carl walks back in completely sheepish. Like he's, look at him. Look how confident and smug he is. Imagine the opposite of that where he's just like not making eye contact, just walks into a room really humble. He's like, how's everyone going? To be fair, I kind of feel like that now, but whatever.

Is this Carl Chandler we're talking about? Not a different guy? Yeah. So then we all just kind of looked at him and went, Ha! And he was just like, I'm Annie! And went back and ran to the orchard. Little orchard Chandler.

Apples are my real friends. The apple anchors. I feel safe among the apples. That should have been an Animals of Steel song. It still can be. We should have closed an Animals of Steel song. It still can be. We should have closed on the duck sandwich joke, obviously. No, but thank you so much for finally coming in. No worries.

Thank you for having me. After ten years we got... Yeah. Can't wait. I can't wait for another ten years to go by and we get Flowers Pussy Man on the podcast. What do we do now? I mean, God, all we can do now is get Trevor Nuller on

and I can be friends with Ronnie Chang again. We can finish this podcast. Alright, let's wrap it up. Let's do a quick plug. Cam, you're doing some gigs around Melbourne. Will, you've got a couple of nights of your show left. And Tony, your comedy festival show is happening next week at the City of My Music Bowl.

Thanks, everyone, for listening. Thank you. Yeah, big round of applause. Cameron, James. Thank you. Will Anderson. Tony Duplassi from the Avalanches. Thanks very much for listening and we'll see you next time.

See you, mate. And they've done it again. They certainly have. Just want to say up the back what you said at the start, Tony de Blasio. It's Tony de Blasio. I just don't want to cop it from him and mates of ours. You think he's going to listen back? I know mates will.

So it's going to be like, I am de Blasio. Okay, it's de Blasio. Just on the record. On the record, it's de Blasio. Did have a very exciting to have this finally happen. Yep. Ten years. What a fucking great moment.

Nice little pop in the live audience. Nice little surprise to spring on everyone. And nice little moment, at least for me, where he actually turned up. Nice little pop in the live audience. Nice little surprise to spring on everyone. Yep. And nice little moment, at least for me, where he actually turned up, where there's just like, was it ever going to happen? Yeah, I've never been more sceptical of something in my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I really thought, even heading in there, it's like,

wouldn't be shocked if we get a text an hour out that it's not happening. Yep, yep. And I just didn't have time to think about a replacement on the day. No. Yeah, it was going to be interesting. But very, very, very gracious of Tony to finally come on. Yeah, it was great. Great little moment.

And yeah, he seemed happy enough. Yeah, he seemed like he was having fun. We haven't had a debrief since then. Just a bit of a text going, that was all right. That was good. I had a brief chat to him afterwards. You had to rush off, but he stuck around for like, I don't know, 15 minutes or something. Oh, yeah, yeah.

That's right. Well, he sent me a text and goes, oh, I'm going to go now. I said, oh, come down. Literally, my solo show was downstairs from the show. So in the basement, I said, oh, come down to the basement. Oh, I'll be on, but just, yeah, I'll see you or whatever. And so he comes down and I'm going on my bullshit and I go,

oh yeah, fucking the avalanche bloke finally turned up, fucking, you know what? I did tell him to come down here, but he clearly hasn't come down here and then I just hear from the darkness,

piss dust. That's him, so very funny. But, you know what? On top of that, update, right then,

as I was coming here, I was a little bit late because I got a phone call. Now, we talked a lot about the animals of steel in there. I just got a phone call from Madman Jack. Oh, wow. One of the founding members. Not killer doctor, not death slut, but Madman Jack just called me. Yeah.

And very coincidentally, he said he'd been out to dinner with some other Maribor people. Yeah. And had a few beers and was starting to tell stories and being stupid and whatever. Started talking about Sunshine Johnson, longtime friend of the show or mention of the show that we did touch on in this episode. Yep. And these other people. So he was telling like the classic Sunshine Johnson stories that I've told on this show.

Yep. And these people sort of were like. Not for a very long time. Long time. They are like old school canon of the show. I imagine maybe there's newer listeners who haven't quite gone all the way back that every now and then there'll be a Sunshine Johnson reference and these people are like, what the fuck are they talking about?

What is this sequence of... We almost should just restart it and you just tell them all again. Just pretend no one's ever heard them before. I'd love to in the live shows because they're just banger stories. But yeah, so brief catch up. If you're not a long-time listener of the show, he is the quintessential crazy person of the town. I grew up in a small town. He was the go-to in terms of crazy behavior.

Yeah. A guy called Sunshine Johnson, like a six-foot-seven bald guy with a handlebar mustache that just used to loiter around and yell at people and go crazy. Anyway, so a lot of great stories about him floating around. Anyway, no one's seen him forever. I've heard whispers of his appearances here and there, but basically he sort of, I think he sort of moved out of Mirabar

or disappeared when I did. So he's sort of been, I've heard a few fleeting references of him being spotted in regional towns. It feels like every now and then we'll get a message from someone who listens to this and they're like, oh, I reckon I saw him.

I saw a fucking ginger bloke with an Afro fucking drinking paint thinner in a car park. Yeah. I reckon that Sunshine Johnson, it's like, oh. Yeah. Bit of a leap. There was someone working in Adelaide one year at the Rhino Room that was like, oh, you talk about Sunshine Johnson.

Don't mess with him. What are you doing talking about him on a podcast? Blah, blah, blah. I'm like, okay, all right. But I never got any deeper with that. Right. Oh, what's the info? What's he doing there? Oh, I can't talk I never got any deeper with that. Right. Oh, what's the info? What's he doing there?

Oh, I can't talk about it. Right. Jesus Christ. Anyway. So, the update is Madman Jack. Madman Jack, the male from Madman Jack. Great name, Madman Jack. I love it.

Well, the big question is when we do the Animals of Steel experience and you've got piss cancer taking over from you on the drums, what are you going to do all of a sudden? What's your new instrument going to be? It's going to be tough to give up not being able to play drums properly to not being able to play some other instrument properly. Yeah, get you on the triangle or something. So, yeah, I can't remember what Bakery of Death needs.

I'm not sure if it's got any triangle in it. But so here's the update on Sunshine Johnson. They started telling stories to Madman Jack about Sunshine Johnson stories. And he's like, oh, yeah, great. And then he, what Madman was saying. I'm going to have to keep doing this. Please call me Madman.

Mr. Jack was my father he was saying madman was saying um they just kept saying using this name and like they he was getting confused going what are you talking about we're talking about sunshine johnson they're like no no no that that's his real name like we're using his real name and they're like and he's like what mad ironically enough madman jack was saying he doesn't that's not his real name. And he's like, what? Ironically enough, Madman Jack was saying, he doesn't, that's not his real name. Yeah. And I'm like, what the fuck? What's his real name?

So what do you reckon Sunshine Johnson's real first name is? I'll give you three guesses. So Johnson's a real surname. Yep. Can I ask some questions? Yeah, sure. Fuck, we'll be here all night. Is it sort of a weird name or is it a pretty kind of common surname?

Common name. Common surname. John. Close. Jack. Close. Very close. James.

No. Jeffrey Johnson. Jeffrey Johnson. Man, so funny. That's really good. Jeffrey Johnson Geoffrey Johnson. Geoffrey Johnson. Man, so funny. That's really good. Geoffrey Johnson. Geoff Johnson. Just funny to, you know, this legendary sort of scary character and whatever and his name's

it's like fucking Peter Parker. He's got the old. Right. That's almost more. That sounds like more of like a crazy homeless guy name than Sunshine Johnson. Right. Sunshine Johnson could almost be like a children's entertainer sure but jeff johnson is like this person is insane no jeffrey johnson jeffrey

johnson it's like this is yeah it's it's a serial killer name yeah it's big time serial killer sunshine johnson is a great name oh people said that to me every time people hear about they'll go i want to use that name in something that's's a fucking great name. Yes, it is. It is a great name. So, this is the update. Please, people in this area, please let me know if this is a thing or not. Geoffrey Johnson. About Geoffrey Johnson. So, he's going under a different name now.

Yep. He must be in witness relocation, but I'm outing him right now. He must be in witness relocation, but I'm outing him right now. So Jeffrey Sunshine Johnson, apparently now, he's working, he's running a Salvation Army store in Geelong. Wow. So if you've got Geelong listeners and you're going down to buy some secondhand corduroy pants, just check the bloke at the counter. If he's 6'6 or more, bald head, don't handle my moustache.

And there's some sort of a bit of barring going from under the counter. Yep. Some neighing or not neighing. Yeah, so whatever goats make. Yep. Yeah, this could be our man. We've got to take a trip down there. Yeah.

It's all well and good for us to say to the listeners. But it's like when we get back from Perth, this has got to be our next trip. Well, I believe we've got plenty of Geelong listeners, so they've got a week to find out. They can get ahead of us. Yeah. Yeah, okay, then we can find the exact location. Yeah. And then we go around.

No good ass fucking knocking ourselves out going around. COVID recorder, like wearing a wire under the shirt, and we go in and we finally get him on the pod. Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah. I'd be scared. First question, instead of where to get your ideas

it's how much is this old jumper? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, just do two or three questions buy a few boss gags records and then win him over

and then start going did you really fuck a goat? What's going on? Yeah, I can't wait. Yeah. Well yeah, get on it. JJ.

Massive scoop. Massive scoop. How many salvos do you reckon there are in Geelong? Geelong's a big place so there's plenty of need many salvos do you reckon there are in Geelong Geelong's a big place so there's plenty of need for salvos

in Geelong so I reckon there would be and look and by them saying salvos that could mean oh they're using it in the like

in the way that people say in the texter in the that sort of thing in using a brand name as a noun where it's not really specifically correct I I believe.

Yeah. So, it could be any form of, could be a lifeline. Any form of op shop. Yeah, op shop. Okay. Yeah. And we could also be talking, there's like, isn't there like there's main Geelong and then Geelong is also like.

Absolutely. Suburbs of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Same thing. You can call, you can say Chadston. It's like saying Chadston isn't Melbourne. Well, it is. Well, okay, so maybe we need the Geelong listeners

to all get in touch with each other and work out some kind of map system where they're, because otherwise it's going to be very disorganised. We're probably going to get five messages about the same op shop when we already know that he's not there. Maybe we make a map on the wall of here at Dum Dum HQ and we have those, you know, the pins on the wall of here at Dum Dum HQ. Yeah.

And we have those, you know, the pins and the string and all that sort of shit. Yeah. And if people can just call in and say that they've been in an op shop and they're not, and JJ's, Jeffrey's not there, we can put a black pin there. Well, yeah, we need a thread. We need to mobilize all the Geelong listeners. All the Geelong listeners meet in Mallop Street. Yep. And then form a circle and then just walk outwards.

Right. Yes. Yes. Maybe we could get Tony Martin to knock off a few of his streets as well. Yeah. He could help with this. Yes. We need to find the Tony Martin of Geelong.

Yes, exactly. To walk every street. Exactly. Yeah. All right. Well, yes. Get on to that. Yes, exactly. I walk every street. Exactly. Yeah, so exciting. All right, well, yes, get on to that. Very exciting stuff. And speaking of exciting stuff, we are but a few short days away

from returning to the beautiful city of Western Australia. The weather is absolutely dog shit here at the moment. Can't wait to get over there, get the pins out. I did check the weather report. I'll do it right now, live on the air. I'll do the weather report i'll do it right right now live on the air i'll do a weather report um now in melbourne the rest of the rest of the week i mean it's raining outside right now it's 11 degrees the rest of the week uh well i'll just say uh yeah it's 14 16 16 16 16 wear us over

in western australia we're looking at 26 26 28 28 for Saturday, the live podcast, and then 30 for Sunday. Oh, nice. Very, very nice. Don't mind that at all. Which is, you know, funnily enough, quite cold for Perth. Yeah. Yeah, 26, like a bit of a disappointing day. People with umbrellas.

Exactly. Getting around. Yeah. We might sell some hoodies. Yes. If we get there earlier, straight off the plane. Yes. We can sell some hoodies.

That's the thing now. How many hoodies am I packing in the fucking suitcase? They take up a lot of room. Yeah, they do. For the sake of going to Perth. These are the two conundrums I have. Do I bring any hoodies because it's Perth? Yep.

And do I bring any books because it's Perth? Stubby Hold is worth bringing. Stubby Hold is worth bringing. The last few of them. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yep. Perth people might be flat out reading that.

Yeah. So, yeah. A real hefty tome here. Yeah. You're going to have to stick a bookmark in this stubby holder somehow. I don't know. I feel like you're going to get a lot of hate for that comment. Sure.

I feel like a lot of people are going to think that that's a very unfair stone to cast. And that's why I said it. So have at it. I would say that that's probably if I had to pick if I had to pick a city in Australia that that comment

was most fair for I would say Brisbane. I'd say Queensland. Yeah, yeah, fair. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, fair. Okay. Yeah, they're both fucked.

No, this is just you trying to smoke them out going prove me wrong. Hit me up and say listen, cunt, I'm buying a book out of spite. Yeah. all of them nah they'll get some books but look serious question if you want hoodies hit me up because you know as soon as you get somewhere they go oh they don't have that you don't have that size cool if you want to just tell me so i can bring that

size and whatever and that color because i can't stick to me the hoodies are fucking massive they take up they're very bulky they're bulky they're very goododies are fucking massive. They take up, they're very bulky. They're bulky, they're very good quality. Yeah. But they do take up a lot of space in the old suitcase. But yes, a few tickets left for this show. It's this Saturday,

April the 24th at the Rosemount Hotel, littledumbdumbclub.com. It's one big ticket that gets you a double show. Us doing stand-up with some guests and then a big live podcast.

Great special guests. Lots of little things planned. Yeah, it's going to be awesome. We're very pumped up. God knows we've been trying to get this show off the ground for long enough now. So, yeah, it's going to be fucking a lot of fun. Do not delay. Looking forward to the choice of what I'm going to have for lunch and or dinner at the Rosemount Hotel.

Are you going to double meal in the same venue? Probably will make the most sense. Well, we have to get in for a sound check apparently. So easily get a bit of lunch then and then kick on, have a few drinks. I don't know where the night's going to take us. Do we hang out and have dinner there? And by the time we finish, it's going to be what, 5.30? Look, you know what?

If the lunch is that good, maybe we stick around for dinner. Yeah, I don't mind that at all. Yeah, 5.30? I mean, look, you know what? If the lunch is that good, maybe we stick around for dinner. Yeah, I don't mind that at all. Yeah, yeah. So I did posit this to the venue. They've just told me we've got a bit of extra time afterwards. There was going to be a show after us in the venue. There is now no longer. That's no longer going to happen.

So I said to them, well, if you want our people to stick around, I mean, we can always just play music and fuck around in the venue if you want. people to stick around I mean we can always just play music and fuck around in the venue if you want so I haven't heard back from that but whether people

want to do that or not what an offer well well they you know they're a pub what they want

is people to drink so I mean the offer is do you want people to stick around and drink or do you want us to get on a fucking

loudspeaker and go fuck off everyone I think they're probably going to wait and see what the vibe is like when we're actually in there before they commit to this. They might be very happy to see the back of us.

Sure. But, hey, looking forward to seeing the front of a lot of people in Perth. Yeah. If you know what I'm saying. Some beautiful dicks over there. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

I haven't checked out the dick scene in Perth, I have to say. I'm always in a bit of a rush. Yeah. Just in and out. Yeah. But not that sort of in and out. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't checked out the dick scene in Perth, I have to say. I'm always in a bit of a rush. Yeah. Just in and out. Yeah. But not that sort of in and out. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So looking forward to that. And of course, if you want to find out where in Perth, where in Western Australia is... Errol P. Errol P. Mosquito. Mosquito. Someone's got to do that as a graphic. We're in... Yeah, we've asked for it already.

Have we? We asked for it like, yeah, three weeks ago, four weeks ago or something. And it still hasn't... It's yet to materialise, which makes me think that it never will. Yeah, sure. Where in Perth is Errol P. Mosquito? If you want to play that game, I will confirm I will be in town from Thursday.

Yeah. This week. So as this comes out, I'll be there on the Thursday. So you've got a couple of days to find me before the podcast. Before the podcast, yeah. Yeah. And what do we – do I offer a prize or do they come over or what happens? What do we confirm?

I don't think we ever really locked that down. We were talking about it the other week. The original idea was that you would be waiting in the bar or restaurant of the hotel yeah and just waiting for the waiter to come over and go mr mosquito your guest has arrived right and that the prize would be that they get to dine with you right but i don't know i think maybe we've moved away from that idea yeah i don't think you were too keen on just spending all your days just sitting in the restaurant waiting they can they can either get they can either get a shout out on the show, at the live show, and get something like that and we'll give them something or fucking something.

Or if they're not too crazy, they can come for a beer. It'll be something good. We'll make it worth your while. Yeah. Cool. But you've got to be the first. You've got to be the first. And you've got to – well, no, this is because they've got to get a message to you in some way.

Yes. Yeah. Get a good message to me. It has to be like a written message that's been slid under your door or someone coming over to you at the pool. Yep. I want a guy with a towel coming over with a written message, like a little telegram. Yep.

Mr. Mosquito? Mm-hmm. I have something for you. Yep. I want that sort of shit happening or like a um or like a trained assassin just taking you out from the roof of a neighboring building you're just on the you're just lying back around the pool you just notice a little red dot around your chest you're like you look up there's just a a hit man up on the roof just gives you the

thumbs up and you're like fucking good one Whoever's paid him to come and take me out. Got me. Beautiful stuff. Got me. Sweet. Awesome. Awesome. So many things to look forward to in Perth.

Tani Hewitt Tani T-A-H-N-I Tani one of those words or names do you call a name a word what about that

for a question well they are not is it a word I don't believe that it is hmm how do you how do you justify Well, they are not... Is it a word? I don't believe that it is. How do you justify having a thing that's commonly spelt and said by people and then go, that's not a word?

Yeah, I mean, I guess technically it is a word. I guess I'm thinking of the fact that you can't play it in Scrabble. Yeah, okay. It says to me that it's not a word. Right. But what if your name was something like brick? Oh, yeah, okay. I'm going to put, is a name a word?

Which I think is a very silly question, but still, I'm going to try it. It's been asked before. I bet it has. Name. Is a name a word? Is a name considered a word? Yeah. Yes.

Names are words. Specifically, they are proper nouns. They refer to specific people, places, and things. John is a proper noun. Ground is a common noun. Okay. That's according to Quora.com. So, Tani, proper noun.

That's a name. It's a word. You know we're struggling to find something to say about a name when we're just Googling the definition of what name is. Sure, I agree. But I've – Just sitting there, can't wait to hear what they do with this. No, no, no. But it did inspire.

I legitimately thought of that question. I've always wondered about that question. Now I know. Satani, you are a word. Yeah, well done. That's a word. Well done, old mate, proper noun. word. Yeah, well done. That's a word. That's a word. Well done, old mate, proper noun.

I'd be pulling that out. Propsy. I'd be pulling that out in Scrabble next time if I was you, Tani. I'd just put my own name like a real psychopath and then go, that's a word. Yeah. The word is, the word means me. Me. Yeah. Yeah.

That's pretty, trying to play a name in Scrabble, already pretty psycho. Yeah. Because it might be the most well-known rule of it that you can't play names. Right. But let alone that, playing your own name. Yes. That's truly demented. First up. If you've just been playing all these dog shit words, squirreling away letters so that you can spell out your own name.

You know what i'm not super wrapped with at the moment my daughter is uh really gives her own name a fair crack just is pulling it out really very often blanket blanket blanket blanket blanket bit of that shit uh not but not like just with no context doing a bit of third person a A lot of that. Love it. Like, needs something to eat and just pulls the name out, goes blanket. Blanket. Just chooses to abbreviate, just does a bit of blah. Okay. Yep, yep.

I feel like we were talking about this not that long ago because I was fascinated by my girlfriend's nephew. For a little period there, he thought his name was you. Right. Because people around him are always going like you. And it's just that thing of like, at what point do you get to grips with all that? Yeah. So she's hearing that just said,

and it's like, yeah, not getting that. Yeah. This is a very strange thing to do. Yes, yes. Tommy thinks that that's pretty weird what your daughter's doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there's a lot of it happening at the moment and i'm like it's a hard trying to wean her off it's a hard thing to correct right because yeah exactly it's like there's there's too much yeah how do you give the context for how weird they're being yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i

feel like i'm like i can't sort of teach her proper first person, third person thing when it's like she's flat out fucking knowing what the word cat is. Right. You know? So I'm just leaving it. There's not much you can do. I just have to bear it at this point. You just have to tolerate it. Through gritted teeth.

Well, you've just got to hope, I guess, that she learns new words. And eventually she'll find one that she finds more interesting oh her own name yeah look i've thrown a few around the house where uh she's picked them up and now i'm currently trying to erase them from her brain wow yeah no like what well what do you reckon few expletives what do you reckon yeah not the uh she doesn't know the uh the c-bomb but she knows comedy yeah exactly she sure doesn't i'm not allowed to say that around the house so is it a thing where don't say names coming home and just copying a fucking earful from no and you're getting in trouble no to be fair she's dropped it a few times and it's that classic thing that you've seen other people do and then you learn about yourself and go oh

that's right i should have known better where something gets dropped and a big shit or fuck comes out and then two seconds later, fuck. Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah. One interesting one is the other day she was just like, the other day, must have said it 10 times in a row. And you're just sitting there trying to sort of wish, trying to form your ears, trying to trick your ears into thinking it's another word. But she's just sitting there going, dick, dick, dick, dick. And we're sitting there just not saying anything and just going,

yeah, maybe this will, maybe it's me that's hearing this. Maybe it's not the other person. My wife's not hearing this. And then after 10 of them, she's like, yeah, no good. This is no good. Nah, nah. I heard a good story the other day about a couple i know who they were going to a picnic with a group of people but one of their friends

was going to be there and their nickname for this friend was like basically the nickname was big fatty right and they're going like god i hope how do you reckon big fatty is going to be today and their young child has just picked that up. And it's not just Big Fatty, it's Big Fatty and then this person's name. So then this child is running around just saying that, Big Fatty X, Big Fatty X. And it's like they're getting closer and closer and closer to go into this picnic.

And they're just losing their minds going, we are in big fucking trouble here. If this comes down, it's just like very quickly trying to, you know, you want to wean your daughter off like saying dick and whatever. That's one thing. But this is like, this has to happen in the next half an hour or we're fucked. Yeah. Yeah.

It's interesting. Like, you know, a lot of time you're concentrating on what you're teaching a child. It's a lot harder to unteach. Right. Yeah. Yeah. The thing that you love forget that

but isn't it funny to think like you have to do that when they're young because it's like we can't have a two year old just chucking around C-bombs

and whatever but then at a certain point it's like you know when she's 15 or whatever and learns about swearing it's like

well then just all bets are off you know what I mean it's like you come back around to it eventually it's just this narrow period where it's like the worst thing that could possibly be happening. Yes, yes.

But they'll find out eventually. But what if we all just decided to stop caring? It's like just baptism by fire. Just get him in there early. Get some C-bombs out there straight away. I can't do it. I can't use my child as the experiment. It's a social experiment.

Yeah, I can't do that. I'm sorry. Well, thanks, Tani. Yeah, thanks, Huo. Thanks, Huey. Tani, T-A-H-I. I was sort of a little bit interested by that in just the phonetics there. T-A-H-N-I.

I don't know. Tani. Yeah. I think it was, there was a coffee shop in Mirabar a famous coffee shop called Tahiti oh yeah Tahiti coffee shop it was sort of like

the famous coffee shop there until until my parents started one and that sort of I don't know whether it's usurped it but

but it was more of a a cool one whereas right ours was more of a clinical yeah clunchy sort of right

but it does make me think of that one whereas right my house was more of a clinical yeah clunchy sort of right um but does make me think of that um thanks to patreon subscriber number two for this week well speaking of jeffrey johnson he's uh what do we call

that alliteration alliteration a bit more alliteration thank you to patreon subscriber cassandra colcoin oh hmm i think i've seen this name on the social Patreon subscriber, Cassandra Colcoyne. Oh. Hmm. I think I've seen this name on the socials. C-O-L-Q? Yes.

U-H-O-U-N. Now, I'm presuming that's Colcoyne. Colcoyne? Colcoyne. Or maybe that's it. I mean, I feel bad saying the second part of that. Yes, you might be right there. Cassandra Colcoyne or Colquhoun?

What did they change the name of the cheese to again? Cheers. Cheers. Was that really? I think so. Hmm. Yeah. My theory was that what they should...

I can't remember if I said this on the show or not. Yeah, your theory was they should keep the name. Yeah. What's wrong with it? It's been around forever. It's a person's name. Yeah. It's a cool word. not yeah your theory was they should keep the name yeah what's wrong with it i thought it's been around forever it's a person's name yeah it's a cool word that's your theory yes uh yeah you're right chia chia cheese yeah yeah um if they got sued by the sitcom for changing it to cheers um they should have just gone because it's like think about how much like damage not damage control but like how much just like deleting of comments and arguing with old right-wing fuckhead people they would have to do on their socials.

That's so exhausting. And those people are in the wrong shore. But it is still like someone has to weather that. What it would have been easy for them to do is to come out and go, we're changing the pronunciation. So it's now just called coon cheese. come out and go, we're changing the pronunciation. So it's now just called coon cheese. Right.

When we're just going to go around, we're going to get some of the labels, we're just going to put like a little umlaut, we're going to have to do on the O's. So, hey, if you're reading it that way, then that's on you. Right. We've now changed the pronunciation so it's no longer pronounced racistly.

Right. And look, if you're fucked in the head and you're choosing to see it that way, that's on you. Yep. Don't you think that would have been a lot cleaner way of doing it? i think i think it would have still caused a fair amount of trouble as well but yeah what i think would have been good if they just had had

figured out a fucking cool name instead of cheer yeah which is just dumb yeah just you know what you want to make someone forget about that name give them fucking something good call it fucking um um cool cheese now that would have been better change one letter change one letter yeah cool cheese yeah why did it have to be a whole other word yeah like you just change one of those to a p or something and you won't be able to pronounce it at all yeah yeah yeah couple but at least now it's not a slur cool cheese if you had you had cool cheese, I would buy cool cheese. Yeah. That sounds cool.

Do you have a preferred cheese brand of choice? No. Are you going for Kuhn or Bega or, sorry, Chia, I should say? Just whatever. I don't care. I quite like the stuff in the deli. I get the freshies in the deli. I don't mind doing the old...

What's it called? It's not Swiss. It's called... Provolone? No. No, but that's good. Yeah, provolone's a good cheese. Yeah.

No, the ones that... It's like Swiss, but it's not Swiss. Jarlsberg. Jarlsberg. That's it. That's it. I used to gravitate towards the mainland for a little bit. Okay.

Back when they had those ads with the two little guys in the fridge. Yeah. Do you remember them? Yeah. That really won me over. Right. I was like, I like this. The two guys, one of them is a friend of the show, Adam Rosenbach.

Oh, okay. Wasn't it that one? Wasn't that that one? Maybe he did an ad for them. He did. But that whole kind of concept was around long before that. Right. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. He was definitely on that ad for a year or something. Rosie. I auditioned for that ad too. I got asked to do a callback for it. And I did not go. Oh.

Oh, why not? Because the filming dates were going to be while I was away. Okay. And I think they were quite annoyed that I had gone and auditioned in the first place when I was going to be unable to do the ad. Yeah. Right, right. Adam Rosenberg, I'll say this.

Great friend of the show. Great mate. Very surprised he gets caught a bit of ads when, in my opinion, not the best actor in the world. I always think... Yeah, but ads, they're not, you know. Yeah. Does it matter?

I don't know. If you're acting, I would have thought it does, but I don't know. Clearly, I don't know. I don't know. But I always look at it and go, oh, it's an interesting choice. Because it's like you see people doing ads and they're quite theatrical and he's very line and length, I think. Yeah.

Yeah. So, it's good for him. But I think that's why he gets them because he's got a good everyman look. Okay. Like they want this guy who, you know, just like looks. I think that was probably the theory behind the Captain Cole's character that he was. It's like we want people to think it's the superhero of the supermarket. Yeah, yeah.

We want these fucking idiots watching to think that this could be any one of them. That's an interesting theory to think someone gets a role because you're just like, you are very bang average. That's you. That's you are the perfect six. Yeah, but I mean, I've gotten, you know, I get auditioned things all the time where it's like, they say stuff like that in the briefs.

It's like, we want someone who just looks really fucking plain but a bit more on the bit of the fucked side of playing and it's like, great great I'll see you there at 11 a.m. fingers crossed for me it's like and then you don't get it

well which was I on yeah on which side of it exactly too fucked or too good yeah but yeah I don't know how we got there from Colcoy

oh yes I do now talking about the Cassandra Colcoy Cassie Cassie not Cassie. Not too shabby a name. No. In my opinion.

Don't mind it at all. Yeah, Cassandra, also very good. And she's going for the, yeah, she's going for the full Cassandra. Well, I would too. Probably. I think I would, yeah. You know what I wouldn't go for? Sandra?

Exactly. If you're pulling Sandra and you had the option of having a Cassie, I think you've really pulled the wrong level. I'd flirt with Sandra. Really?

I think if I was called Cassandra, I probably would go through a phase where it'd be like Sandy, maybe. Sandy, yeah. This is what's

great about it. You've got a lot of options there. It might be the most malleable first name that's out there. Is there another one in there?

Can you do another one? There's three that are all very different from each other. Well, look, Sandra, I kind of think that's someone's auntie. But then again, Pamela was someone's auntie for a long time, I think, until Pammy. Exactly. Until the great Pammy came along. Well, but maybe you just go on by Cassie and then your sibling has a child and you go, I'm an auntie now.

It's time to be Sandra. Oh, yeah. You just base it on that. It's like a haircut. You have a baby and you go, right, time for a bob. Yeah, exactly. Right. Okay.

Yeah. So you're 18, you're Cassie. You want a bit more respect. You get your, you know, you're moving up through your job. You're 27. You go with Cassandra. You want a bit more respect. You're moving up through your job. You're 27. You go with Cassandra. And you have a kid. You're 35. You're staying home.

And you're Sandra. That's it. Wow, the evolution. Well, you're welcome, Cass. Just the fucking Darwin theory all in one word right there. One word and I'm saying it's a word. It word right there exactly one word that a word and i'm saying it's a word it's a word it's a proper noun it's a word um wow well looking forward to hearing what

So that person, she was a comic, and she then, as a lot of people do, get out of that at some stage and move on to something else i was i was i was very jealous of her for one one little moment um because she's uh i think she's a freelance writer or something like that she does a lot of stuff like that she used to swing me a little bit of work and i was very gracious uh grateful of that but one time i don't know how the fuck this came up, but I found out that she... What a fucking deal this is.

At some stage, my wife, who works for an airline, was doing a bit of enabling a bit of press. And they would put people on a plane. Yeah. Just, you know, one of these things where they put someone on a plane and you know when you see these articles in like a travel magazine or in the paper where it's like you know them reviewing the whatever plane it was the flight was right you know there'll be like a little half a page that'll go oh i flew there and what a great experience it was and this is what happens in business or this is what happens in this and what those people get

that for free because they're just like you know it, it's a junket, whatever. So this person that we know was on one of these junkets and she just got flown to Bali of all places. Yep. And I remember my wife being like, yeah, we flew this girl over and she, you know, everyone else hung around and made it really, you know, did this really social sort of experience. And she just went and did her own thing the whole time. And we were sort of like, oh, okay, aren't you going to do this? And she's like, nah.

And then just went over there and came back and she's like, yeah, yeah, didn't even do this. And I was like, sounds fucking awesome. Went over there and just had a fucking free holiday. Sounds like the most normal person on the trip. Yeah. The person who's not hobnobbing with just other people that are on the junket. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like.

Yeah. Yeah. Just wrote your thing and then fucked off. Yeah. And went and had a holiday or whatever. Yeah. So, yeah. I was like, man, what a fucking gig.

Yeah, that's pretty sweet. Imagine being put on. Imagine being a fucking writer and all the shit you go through. Like, it's sort of a bit of a shit job. Yeah. And then landing that landing that like i was after that i was like do you ever put people from podcasts on these things yeah yeah you know i mean that's the thing about being a writer sometimes the advantages of it is oh you're a writer for

something where in reality it's like yeah i write for a fucking street press or whatever who gives a fuck yeah or you're like yeah if you've you know a lot of people who've like the dream is i'll write my own novel or do travel you know travel writing is like travel anything is like what most people you know have is like the dream yeah like just being paid to go on a holiday that's what everyone wants to do yeah see youtube videos when i was researching places to go in uh europe because i you know i was like i don't know a lot about i just wanted to find like somewhere new researching places to go in uh europe because i you know i was like i don't know a lot about i just wanted to find like somewhere new and interesting to go to so i would just kind of like look up places on youtube and just kind of try and find like you know people who'd made

interesting videos about them and what you find is so many people who've tried to start like their own youtube travel channel thinking this will just be my life from now on yeah i'll just be being paid to go around the world but they've all their videos just have like 15 views they're just like an absolute charisma vacuum where they're just like now we're here on the street in berlin it's like can't you out of your mind if you think this is going to become your job like you fucking suck at this yeah but then in terms of writing as well it's like yeah most people it's like at some point they've had to just like look up writing jobs on seek or whatever and go yeah

i'll write little fucking poems for greeting cards or like whatever it is like i got into i got into a few of these um vloggers in lockdown and whatever where especially ones that were you know going around thailand or whatever you're just looking for new content content. I mean, remember that old video I talked about years ago where there's a person walking down the main street with a GoPro on and then you see me eating with my mum and dad? Yeah. That is so far off the main page of you. That used to be like very high on you looking for like Koh Samui videos.

Now, I looked for it the other day because I was trying to show someone. It is so far away from the main page now. Right. And, you know, it's only four or five years old and the video production, I'm like, this fucking sucks. Yeah. No one should watch this.

Yeah. But now there's so many vloggers. It's great. I was talking to a couple of different mates and whatever and there was one night, I was around at Kappa's place and everyone in the household

I was like saying oh yeah I watch this guy but he fucking really annoys me but he keeps going to good places so I keep watching it and then we're just watching it and everyone's like

yeah fuck I'm right with you like this guy's a fucking idiot but let's watch another one yeah it's all well made and you know whatever

but and there's also there's almost something attractive to how annoying this cunt was. Right, okay. So he's a Texan vlogger, but he's in Thailand the whole time. And the whole time he's like, yeah, yeah. And I'm buying these Changs and they're 55 baht.

And I found a place. I borrowed them down to 45 baht. So I'm going really well. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to fucking knock you out. This guy sounds infuriating. Yeah, yeah, sounds infuriating. Yeah, yeah. Very infuriating.

And so then we just sat there and watched it for like an hour. Yeah. Great. So that's good. But yeah, also that thing of going, not only are you annoying, but I am also annoyed like this other person that you've got this gig and not me. Right. You are annoying and also I'm jealous of you, which is annoying.'s a lot annoying about you well thanks as a party thanks as a party thanks

let us know if you've ever made a vlog yeah thanks johnny boy um i mean how how attractive would it be to abbreviate you know to party to be just the party man yeah yeah party man john party there ain't no party like an Azo party. Yeah. Thank you very much, Patreon subscriber. Larry Hudson. Ooh. Wow.

I like Larry. Just, have we finally, like, got someone that's subscribing to our Patreon that's a semi-regular on the sitcom Becker or something? Like, just Larry Hudson seems like a character out of some sort of 90s or 2000s. Character or actor? Either one. Larry Hudson.

Yeah. It's got a bit of character actor vibe who you're like, you remember seeing the name in the credits, but you couldn't quite pick him out of the lineup. To me, it's more of a character in a show because I sort of can't believe that someone actually has the name Larry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not a real person.

That's a New York fucking guy that works in a coffee shop or something. You're saying New York. You're saying character from City. You're literally just thinking Larry David. I'm not at all. You're not? No. Okay.

In fact, I was more thinking of Ernie hudson from ghostbusters okay right right right but no that didn't go in my head at all um because hudson it's such a that's such a new york tv fucking show name larry again yeah i sort of sort of don't believe i don't know you don't think this person's real yeah i don't think I've ever met a Larry One of those things Where I think Maybe it's just a Yeah But do you think Because friend of the show

Lawrence Mooney Refers to himself as Larry Sometimes So do you think Maybe this is a Do you think that This is this person's On their birth certificate

It says Larry Or do you think that he's Doing a bit of that Well I don't know Do people Does Larry directly Come from Lawrence I don't know

Yeah I mean I just assumed that Because of Mooney Mooney calling himself Larry Right a bit of that. Well, I don't know. Do people... Does Larry directly come from Lawrence? I don't know. Yeah. I mean, I just assumed that because of Mooney calling himself that. Right, right. I think it's a possible thing. I had never heard that before, but...

Yeah. But I think that's a possible... That's like, you know, Dick comes from Richard, but then there's probably people that just call themselves Dick as well. You know what I mean?

That are called Dick on the birth certificate? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That sort of thing. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah so i'm sure you you can technically get away with larry from lawrence but there are larrys there are yeah there are people looking at one minute old babies and going that's all that's a larry yeah dinky die larry right there my um my a friend of mine has a baby called rath and uh i had forgotten the baby's name and a mutual friend of mine has a baby called Raph and I had forgotten the baby's name and a mutual friend of ours was talking about this baby and made a typo and referred to the baby as Ralph.

And I was like, hang on, is her baby really fucking called Ralph? How did I miss that? And she's like, no, sorry, I made a spelling mistake. And then I was just laughing all night. Yeah, just someone squeezing out a baby and going, Ralph. That's what I'm calling you. Well, that's it. That's a good one about, you know, when we talk about like old names coming back.

That's the best one of like seeing a baby, like an actual baby that hasn't opened his eyes and gone, that's Larry. Yeah. That's Larry right there. Yeah. That's Doug. Doug's good. Yeah. I would call a baby Doug, I have to say.

That's Fred. Doug was my grandpa's good. Yeah. I would call a baby Doug, I have to say. That's Fred. Doug was my grandpa's name. And so I genuinely have thought if I had a kid, I would love to bring it as a tribute to him and be, it's like, yeah, get it going again. Doug. A little baby called Doug. Dougie.

Dougie. Dougie the baby. Baby Dougie. Yeah, that's a good one in that you get to say, have you met Dougie the baby? Yeah. That's good. Little Dougie.

Yeah, yeah. Little Dougie's good as well. Little Dougie. Have you met Little Dougie the teenager? Yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, they're like, I hate you, Dad. Yeah. Douglas is fine.

Douglas. That's not a bad name. Yeah. Yeah, Douglas. I mean, yeah, it's fine. It's fine. Has it died out? Is it around or not?

Again, I can see it. I can see it making a comeback. What about Doug, spelt D-U-G? I quite like that. I think that's one of the most moronic things I've ever heard. I like it. I'm into it. Doug.

Surely you would have the people at the hospital as you're filling out the burn certificate going, are you sure? Yeah. You know, it's actually, it's got an O in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Yeah, yeah. No, you have to do that.

You would be breaking the law if you didn't say, hey, you fuck this. Yeah. And then to give them the chance to go, no, no, no. I think it's good. I think it's good. D-U-G, Doug. I like it. I couldn't believe that we've never talked about this on the podcast,

but he talked about it in his comedy festival show, which I mentioned going to see in this episode. Nick Capa, his middle name is misspelt on his birth certificate. Really? His middle name is Simon with two I's. And that's a legitimate misspelling? Yeah. It's on his passport.

Well, is it a legitimate misspelling, Yeah. It's on his passport. Well, is it a legitimate misspelling though? Like, has his parents actually gone, that was an accident? But that's what he said in the show, yeah. They fucked it. Because there's a famous advertising executive or something that's like, that's the quintessential advertising wanker. He's still alive, I think. He's named Simon with two I's.

Right. And it's like, you're the 80s advertising fucking guy with slick back hair and doing coke and whatever. Yeah, right, right, right. That's like, you're a living cliche. And that was represented by having a Simon with two I's. Two I's, yeah, right. So you think, well, Cap is named after this guy.

He could be. Two eyes, yeah, right. So you think what Kappa's named after this guy? He could be. Kappa's parents in Bumi being big aficionados. Big Saatchi and Saatchi fans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big, big, yeah. Okay, yeah.

I mean, I'll have to ask him more about it. I love that Colgate ad. Let's name our kid after whoever came up with that LaTan ad Yeah Yeah Well yeah we gotta We gotta ask him about it Next time

Yeah sure We gotta find out more about it Yeah yeah yeah remind me Sitting up the back You know just going Well this whole show Is all because of us Yeah yeah yeah

And then And then at the top There's this detail It's like You fucking held this out on us Yeah Some people Yeah but that's the thing

You talk to some people And you go Have you got anything And then they go you fucking held this out on us? Yeah. Some people, yeah, but that's the thing. You talk to some people and you go, have you got anything? And then they go, probably nothing. There's this thing about the time I met a dinosaur and you go, what the fuck?

Right. So some people, yeah, don't. That's fair. It's something that's on your birth certificate. You've lived with it your whole life. Yeah. It is easy to lose sight of.

Oh yeah, I guess that is kind of weird. I've had that happen before where I've said stuff and people are just like why the fuck have you never told me that before you go oh that's right that's just the thing exactly that i think's normal yeah um thanks larry thanks laz if you if that is your real name yeah if you are a real person yeah i mean i'm i'm heavily i'm skeptical i'm heavily suspicious that this is a um this is some sort of optical illusion this is some sort of uh optical illusion this is some sort of uh fictional we're not actually getting real money we're getting like we're getting paid in movie

money oh yeah yeah fake american um printed on one side money yeah for some reason that they're just electronically yeah yeah yeah prop money that they. Prop money that they've taken off the set of two guys, a girl and a pizza place. Great reference. Yeah. Great show.

Yeah. Wouldn't say that. Loved it growing up. Wouldn't say that. Yeah, terrible. You know what? Really, really,

I enjoy that, you know what? I've seen Deadpool and I enjoy Deadpool. Of course you do. It's the fucking funniest shit ever made, bro. But, watched it on a plane. Good plane movie.

Yeah, yeah. Someone who, you know what? I will say Ryan Reynolds has grown into his skin well. Like, I was never a fan of him or Will Ferrell. And then Will Ferrell got very good, I think. But him on Saturday Night Live. But what was the turning point? Oh, right, yeah. I didn't think he got very good, I think. But him on Saturday Night Live. But what was the turning point? Oh, right.

Yeah. I didn't think he was very good on that. You know what? I don't think anyone is good on Saturday Night Live. Like, any of the breakouts where it's like... Norm Macdonald was. Well, no, but back then, sure. But, like, now it's like...

Probably from around the time Will Ferrell and those guys are on it. It's like, yeah, the turning point was the movies they were in after. Right. Like, I don't know, Kristen Wiig, I never saw anything of her on set. I haven't went, oh, she's great. Okay. It's until Bridesmaids, you know. Right, right, right.

I think it's like, takes the movies to really make them kind of pop. Yeah, I haven't watched it for a long, long, long time. So, I wouldn't have seen those people on it at all. But Ryan Reynolds. Mm-hmm. Early days, I really disliked him i thought that show was terrible like too much of a show off and then he i don't know he calmed it down a tiny little bit and yeah i think he's funny i mean i remember this is probably like the difference in our ages

where i was like just the right right just the right age for that show yeah i think i can't remember how old i would have been. I was still at school. Right. And just, you know, just any new sitcom that was about people a bit older just living their lives and, you know, when you get near the end of school, you're like, God, this is going to be me pretty soon. How good is it going to be? Right.

Yeah. Yeah, it didn't do it for me. But now, now I like him. Well done. Well done. Well done, Ryan. Yeah. Good on you.
